Finale

Cave of Brave

Rocks were crumbling, blinding glare and power surges radiated from an otherworldly spider creature. It had Richie caught in blinding deadlights, suspended in the air helpless to its supernatural grips.

"Oh my god, no," Eddie panicked as he reentered the cave battleground to see his childhood friend slipping away further by the minute.

Bill was frozen, holding onto Mike after he'd slammed into the wall. They screamed but could not move their bodies to challenge Pennywise.

The spear in Eddie's hand reflected a shine into his eyes. He held it tightly, recalling Beverly's wise words when she gifted it to him.

He tried to swallow the aching anxiety stifling his heavy breathing. His knew his best friend couldn't get out on his own.

This kills monsters... If you believe it does.
If you believe does.
If you believe it does.

"Beep beep motherfucker!" Eddie launched the arrow with every fiber of strength he had. It seemed to fly in slow motion on route to the creature's peeled face. With a scream, the sharpness pierced its gaping mouth of a thousand teeth.

Pennywise choked and thrashed, no longer able to hold his grasp on Richie. He fell to the floor, shaking himself out of the deadly trance and blinked his blurry eyes, widening as he recognized the face leaning over him.

"Richie! Yeah, there he is buddy!" Eddie happily exclaimed, patting his friend's chest. "Hey Rich, I think I got him man! I got him for real!" He put his hands on Richie's shoulders.

Pennywise reclined back on the razor sharp bits remaining from the meteor explosion, still trying to cough the spear out.

"I did it, I got-"

"Eddie watch out!!" Bev screamed, seconds before a thick claw stabbed the space just beside Eddie. Having ducked out of the way just in time, an adrenaline rush enabled him to pull Richie up and scoot away from the creature.

"What the, where's... Did we-"

"It's cool, I got you buddy."

Eddie dragged him to an edge quickly before they could get spotted. A large smile crossed his face when he glanced back at what he just averted.

"Dude he almost got me! But I got away, I got us away, who's the badass now??"

Richie held Eddie's face in his large hand, staring into his eyes with relief and thrill. "Your mom of course," he smirked, standing up. "This ain't over yet, c'mon!"

He took hold of Eddie's hand and bolted for Mike, Bill and Ben who were meters away. They frantically scanned the perimeter, searching for Bev. She disappeared after warning Eddie.

"Bev! Beverly!" Ben shouted desperately with pain in his voice. "Where are you?!"

The ground shook underneath them as the tall clawed spider reappeared, cornering the group.

"You thought you could outsmart me, you useless losers," he laughed, swaying on his monstrous haunches. "I am your living nightmare!!"

Mike stood defeated, until suddenly his eyes lit up with an idea. He pulled the losers close and whispered, "There's more than one way to make someone small."

They were stumped for a moment, then realized Mike's intent.

"Make him believe that he is!"

Pennywise veered closer, snarling and cackling. But the group stood their ground, not intimidated by his threats.
