"I'll defeat you. Matt Keane."
He waited over a year for Ray's return to hunt family, camping in the nearby woods, with fairly, fresh cooked meat.
Within his search, he stumbled upon Samuelson, which has grown a beard in just a year.
"Wait, aren't you my past classmate?"
Samuelson recognized him only by his face and appearance.
"Thom?, what are you doing here?"
Walking towards his direction, Thomas answered his question with a direct lie.
"Well... i was just, hunting for some food!, yep!"
"Hunting?"
Samuelson was utterly confused.
"But, you can already afford a single pack of meat right?"
Thomas sighed, failing to fool him.
"Alright, alright, I'm actually going to capture a humanoid monster. Named Ray."
This lightened up his brain.
"Ray?, you mean the serial killer that burned up the hospital?"
Thomas nodded quietly.
"I see, wait. How do you know him?"
Samuelson answered truthfully.
"I was at the hospital for my deaf grandma, until i fought him, but i never won, then he... burnt... the place."
Thomas sighed, with a mix of compassion and commiseration in his voice.
"I'm sorry for that, but I'm actually here to finally end this hell for now."
Samuelson looked at him with a shocked expression, because in the past, he's the scared, pitiful one on their class, and rarely gets bullied because of the school's sympathy.
"Wait, your going to fight him?"
"...Yes."
Two days passes after the conversation with Samuelson, he encountered Ray for not, 'the last time.'
"Ray, or should i now just say... Ray Voorhees?"
Ray walked towards him with double the speed of a normal walking speed. This made Ray catch up to Thomas, tries to slash his face for a fatal strike, but Thomas immediately pulled out a machete, real one like Ray's, this dulled both of their blades.
"Heh... you're really strong..."
Ray also pulled out another weapon in his pocket, a Scalpel he had kept as a spare weaponry.
Almost getting cut by him, he backed off and throwing the machete to his left arm, releasing the Scalpel off his hand.
"You can't catch me by your dirty works Ray."
He pulled out a medicine – but this wasn't for him, it was for Ray, a poison medicine to knock Ray unconscious under more than eight years.
Ray was weary of this, so he threw his machete to the Medicine, knocking it into the ground, breaking it open.
Thomas's hand wasn't injuried luckily, as he moved fast enough to not get his hand decapitated.
"You're terrifyingly smart..."
He dropped his bag to the ground, and grabbed the gun inside, with a spare knife for combat.
"Come on, try me."
As he shoots the gun, Ray casually dodged them with Superhuman reflexes and agility, grabbing the gun off his hands and throws it aside, but Thomas quickly stabbed his chin and pushed him to the ground.
This started him for a moment, but quickly stood up, afterwards, he pulled the knife out of his chin, not a care if it bleeds too much.
"I've got more tricks on my sleeve."
Grabbing the Chainsaw out of his bag, he turned it on, the razors circling, making Ray back down, as this would be lethal against him.
"You're scared now huh?, i can finally kill you here!"
Ray, using his strategy, grabbing his machete in the Medicine and clanging it to the Chainsaw, until he spotted dust nearby, grabbing it by his hands, blinding Thomas for a while and taking the opportunity to end his life.
But he was axed in the nape, almost killing him, but this just knocked him out.
Samuelson, appeared, with a sharp, sorrow and hatred expression, pulled the axe out of Ray's nape, he sprayed water to Thomas's eyes.
"Ow!, damn it, i got caught off guard."
Samuelson chuckled softly.
"It's fine, let's get straight back into it–"
Ray had already touched the ground by his feet, grabbing the chainsaw, turning it on, before Samuelson can react to it, he was halved.
Blood spilled all over Thomas and Ray, this Enraged Ray, leading his Wrath to conquer him fully.
"You..."
He grabbed the rotten chains in his bag, and tied Ray up, strangling him with force that he couldn't escape.
Ray was full of Cursed Hatred, because of that, he couldn't even talk, focusing on his objective to eventually seal Ray away for the greater good.
He tied the chains into a boat, hardly thick so that he wouldn't dare to escape, and before dropping him off to the river, he grabbed three grams of oil, dropping it into the boat, and threw the lighter, burning him and the boat slowly.
"Give us a moment of peace, go to another place. Ray."
Ray couldn't even unchain himself because of the burning sensation, even though with the pain tolerance, inside, he feels immense burn that he had never felt before.
he slowly passes out, as he is drifted through the Wisconsin river.
Four years Later...
September 12th, 2034
"Goodluck for your first day of school okay hon?"
He nodded with a cute, and caring smile.
"Yes mommy!"
Hannah couldn't resist his cuteness, so she hugged him for a while before starting his first day.
"Bye!"
He waved, then happily went off.
Thomas, at the corner, eating lollipops while on his cellphone, dialing and calling his brother.
"Hey."
"What's up?"
In the call, Thomas's Brother, Stephenson Brian asked politely.
"You live in Rhinelander right?"
"Uh-huh?"
"If you find someone in the water on a boat... bury him."
"That... was kind of weird, but sure man!"
Thomas hanged the call, and walked away, as Hannah noticed him, and followed behind quietly. He picked the old whole family picture with Ray's child face.
"Matt Keane, you we're my long lost Step-brother. Why didn't you say anything to me even once if you knew...?"
He tore off the family photo and dropped the pieces into the recyclable garbage bin without looking.
Luckily, Hannah managed to find all of the pieces before it scattered all over. She collected and corrected every piece, until she finally finishes it, seeing Matt Keane's as a kid, and Thomas Brian as a kid, her loyal husband.
"No way..."
