Stranger Things (Season 2)

Chapter 1: New King in Town (Part 1)

Somewhere in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

October 28, 1984

It was a peaceful night. Cars passing on roads, street lights not flickering, and the cool air breezing through. But then, it was all stopped by the sound of an alarm going off inside a building.

Suddenly the front doors were opened fast, and four people with weird looking masks on came out, going down the steps. One of them kept saying "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!" before getting in a van and shutting the door, driving off as cop cars came in hot pursuit, sirens filling the air.

The cop cars were on the vans tail, and were not slowing down in the slightest. "Get them off us!" One man in the van said to the driver. "I'm working on it!" The driver spoke immediately after, pushing on the pedal to go faster.

The van turned right down a tunnel, trying to lose the cops cars as best as they could. And they did, but not by losing them.

The girl with dark long black hair sitting in the passenger seat, had her eyes closed. She slowly lifted her right hand up, having her fingers extended out, then closing them to clench her fist. "Boom" she said as when the cop cars turned and we're ready to follow them into the tunnel, were now blocked off by the ceiling of the tunnel crushing down onto the ground.

Seeing this, the cop cars hit their brake pedals and stopped. Some of the care hit each other, causing them to slide everywhere. Everyone I'm the van was cheering and sighing in relief. The long haired girl just had a straight face on the entire time. A stream of blood started coming down her left nostril. So she wiped it away with her other fist, exposing the number 008.

The next day

Hawkins, Indiana

It was coming up to Halloween. One of the scariest activities and nights to ever live. And all the kids were getting ready to spend some time at the arcade.

Dustin was looking around in the furniture for spare quarters. "Son of a bitch!" Dustin said running over to the comforter to check for quarters. Thankfully he found a quarter in the comforter. "Dustin, what the hell is your problem?" Dustin's mother said, coming into the living room from the kitchen with Mews in her arms. "No time to explain, be back soon!" Dustin said as he ran out of his house to high tail it to the arcade.

Mike was in his sister Nancy's room to see if there was any quarters in Nancy's old piggybank. Nancy came in shocked at what Mike was doing. "What the hell?" She asked. Mike didn't know what to say at this point. He needed to get to the arcade now. "I'll pay you back!" He said and took all the quarters in her piggybank and shoved them in his pockets, running out.

"Hey come back!" Nancy yelled as he ran after her brother. Mike was outside and picked his bike up, running with it and jumped on it to get away. "Asshole!" Nancy finally gave up and watched her brother leave with HER money.

Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Max all pulled up to the arcade on their bikes, setting them on the bike racks outside the arcade.

At the same time a green 1976 Ford Pinto pulled up a few feet away from the boys. It was Will and his mother. Will looked excited to see his friends, but before he could get out his mother put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll pick you up in two hours, 9:00 on the dot. Got it?" Joyce said to her son. "Okay, okay" Will said to his mother. "And if anything happens just use their phone to call home" Joyce added. "And don't walk or bike home, I got it" Will interrupted his mother before she could tell him exactly what he just said. Joyce smiled at her son. "Have fun" she said, gaining a smile from Will before getting out and walking to his friends. Joyce felt happy to see her son being happy, waving at them before leaving. The four then headed inside the arcade.

They were there for a bit and Dustin was getting pissed off because he just died at Dragon's Lair. "Overpriced bullshit!" He kicked the machine. "Don't worry, you'll get there one day. But for now, Princess Daphne is still mine" Lucas said happily, proud of himself. "Whatever. I'm still number one on Centipede and Dig Dug" Dustin rolled his eyes at Lucas. "You sure about that?" Max, said to Dustin with a evil smirk. Dustin then ran over to the Dig Dug machine to look at the leader boards and was shocked to see someone had a new record above him.  The top name said Madmax with 751330.

"Damn, that's rough" Mike joked with a slight smile. "Shut up" Dustin said, turning back to Max. "How the hell did you get that high of a score?" Dustin asked her. "It starts with mr being better than you" Max said smirking a little, and was replied with Dustin giving her the middle finger. "Don't worry, give me some time and I'll be back on top" Dustin said, determined to take back his crown as the king of Dig Dug.

"Oh really? Just like how you did it with Centipede, Pac-Man, Galaga, we can keep going" Max said, putting him in his place teasingly. "Why did we ever invite her into our party again?" Dustin turned to Mike. "You're the one that wanted her in" Mike replied back. Dustin shut up and looked back and Max, who had a devious smile on her face.

As the two bickered, Will started hearing noises. They were coming from outside. When he went to the front door he blinked his eyes and turned around. No one was there but him. Then thunder insued as Will looked outside the door. He was seeing red in the sky. He walked outside and saw something that shocked him to his core. In the mist of the red thunder and black sky, was a large figure that had tentacles. Will stood there in fear, looking at the creature in terror.

"Will. You okay?" Mike said, snapping Will out of his trance. He turned to see Mike there, along with Dustin, Max, and Lucas behind him. Will took a moment to reply. "Yeah...I'm fine. Just needed some air" he said. Mike walked up to him and put his arm around his neck. "Come on, you're up on Dig Dug" he said as the two walked back inside
