Chapter 1

Ragnarok begins

Hellboy awakens in a cold sweat, and suddenly remembers the dream that caused his state of paranoia. "Damn nightmares….haven't had one like that in quite awhile." He had been plagued by them when he was younger, but this one was so frightening it made him get up, light a cigar, and turn on the TV.

"Who was that guy?" Hellboy asked, while picturing the burnt, razor-fingered, figure that tortured him in his dream. "I need information." He then gets up and walks down to the laboratory to try and figure a few things out.

"Hey Abe, you know anything about this dream I've been having?" Abe Sapien appeared to have been sleeping. "You red gorilla…..I was having the most pleasant dream about the ocean." Hellboy seemed to be surprised that Abe Sapien was actually dreaming. "Sorry, but what I need to talk to ya about also involves a dream."

"Oh dear," Abe replied while thinking about Hellboy's childhood. He hoped like crazy his childhood memories were not involved with this. "Did this guy wear a dirty brown hat, a sweater, and have a razor-fingered glove on his right hand?" At this, Hellboy was taken aback and replied, "I knew I came to you for a reason."

Abe began explaining the story to his friend. "That is none other than 'Freddy Krueger', a disgusting man, who murdered children back in the 1970's. He was then tracked down by the parents of those children in the town of, I think it was Springwood. Anyway, they found out where he lived and burned him alive."

"A few years later, he returned from the grave, to kill the children of those parents who had brutally murdered him. His method of doing so was in their dreams, where no one could help save them. Ever since he arrived, Krueger has been nothing but a plague on this world. However, it looks as though he has broadened his repertoire." Hellboy dropped his cigar from his mouth and looked worried, "ah crap."
