WE DROPPED ERICA, LUCAS AND MAX TO THE CREEL HOUSE.

"Please be careful, okay?" I said, as I hugged them one by one.

"We will." Lucas said, looking over at Max with a smile.

I smiled back before stepping aside for the others to bid their goodbyes as well.

After that we left. We drove all the way to Eddie's trailer, so we could enter the Upside Down again.

We were all wearing our equipment and holding the weapons, inside the vehicle we hijacked before.

Me and Eddie wore bandanas on our foreheads to hold back our jungle of hair.
Us two along with Dustin were holding the spears, Lucas and Erica made, and the shields of rubbish bin lids, while Robin, Steve and Nancy were holding the handmade molotovs and axes.

"Okay." Nancy began. "I wanna run through it one more time. Phase one."

"We meet Erica at the playground." Robin said. "She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready." Nancy nodded.

"Phase two."

"Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which will put him in his trance." Steve explained.

"Phase three?"

"Me, Eddie and Alexia draw the bats away." Dustin said, as Eddie messed with his hat, while I nudged his sides giving him an downturned smile.

"Four."

"We head into Vecna's hopefully newly bat-free lair and-" Robin said, shaking the bottle with the kerosene in hand. "Flambé."

"Nobody moves on to the next phase, until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what." Nancy ordered sternly. "Got it?"

"Got it." We all chorused.

Right after, we got out of the trailer and ran to Eddie's portable house.

"Be careful." Dustin said to Steve but he climbed up the sheet-rope, that was still connecting the two worlds.

"Thanks buddy." He muttered, sending a smile to Dustin's way. "Here goes nothing." He climbed up and landed on his feet, looking up at us and shrugging nonchalantly, with a smirk.
