From her birth, her destiny was set in stone. But, who's to say that destiny can't be changed?
One spring break, in the lonely town of Hawkins, Indiana a circus comes to cure the inha...

It was almost time to attack Vecna and from that moment out, this was going to be down to the wire and if they couldn't at least injure Venca now, then all would be lost.
They had to at least hold out for the battle, at least that was what was detailed in Adelaide's plan which only Sol knew the full extent of. That was even more reason to go through with joining the fight.
At first, after they had dropped Lucas, Erica, and Max off at the boarded-up Creel house, which looked straight out of a horror movie, an unsure feeling that lasted for just a minute ran through Soleil's mind as she had imagined it may have done to everyone else.
Her moment was thinking about everything that could've gone wrong with the plan. If someone died or got hurt, if Vecna wasn't as weak as they thought in his traveling state, there were just too many factors to take into account and not enough time to count them all. That was the worst part of all of this, the fact that they may not get the satisfaction of winning from Vecna as he had inflicted on them—that would've been their ruin.
But Soleil wasn't gonna let that happen, not while she was still kicking and not burning to nothing. Everyone there had someone they would put their leg out for, they each had their own special reason for gaining the courage to look deep into the many, beady, and shifty eyes of the Upside Down. So they couldn't be unsure of anything they were doing because if they didn't act someone was bound to get hurt.
It wasn't in anyone's right mind to leave Hawkins without defense.
Now, the remainder of the group stood together one more time in the stolen trailer to go over the plan before execution.
"Okay. I wanna run through it one more time." Nancy stood up with her arms folded. "Phase one."
"We meet Erica at the playground. She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready."
"Phase two."
"Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance. We pray that Adelaide can hold him off enough so that Max won't get hurt too much."
"Phase three?"
"Me, Eddie, and Soleil draw the bats away."
"Four."
"We head into Vecna's newly bat-free lair, and..." Robin shook one of the Molotov cocktails, the volatile liquid sloshed around in the glass bottle. "Flambé."
"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what. Got it?"
"Got it." Everyone spoke in unison. Then, all of them took their last trip out of the trailer, with new weapons and body armor, the group set out for Eddie's trailer. Steve opened the door and soon was the first one going back into the Upside Down.
