Ben had found an exit. In that time, eddie had remembered his encounter with the leper. "My hands were on his throat. I could feel him choking. I made him small. He seemed so weak. He seemed..he seemed so weak." He slowly said.
"All living things must abide by the shape they inhabit!" Mike said.
"We make him small so we can kill him!" Bev nodded. Pennywise clawed at the rocks until the losers came out. The losers, with an injured eddie. They went out through another passage that lead them out where pennywise couldn't see them. Richie and mike laid eddie against another rock. They waited for the right moment to run to the otherside, but pennywise had caught up to them.
"You silly little children!" Pennywise taunted as he crawled up to them.
"What do we do know?" Ben asked.
"Die! That's what you do." Pennywise answered.
"Mike?" They waited for mike to answer. They knew mike could think of a way.
"There's more than one way to make someone small."
Bev was now catching up to what mike was saying. "Make him believe that he is."
"What!"
"Make him believe that he is!" Mike said once again.
Pennywise couldn't believe the words that were coming out of Mike's mouth. "Oh! Me? Small?" He laughed. "I am the eater of worlds!"
Mike interrupted. "Not to us you're not. You're just a clown."
Mike's words left pennywise speechless. He then growled at Bev, who didn't flinch. "You're a weak old woman." She fought back.
"Eater of worlds!" Pennywise whined.
"A headless boy!" Ben yelled.
"A pathetic man!" Nancy joined in.
"Imposter!" Bill said.
With every word they said to pennywise, it failed to make the losers scared.
"Fucking bitch!" Nancy yelled, insult after insult. "You're just made of moonlight!"
Mimic, fucking bully, clown.
The losers kept yelling clown at pennywise, it growing smaller and smaller as they did. It stumbled on it's back inside the spikes, too weak to stand on its legs. The losers followed it, still yelling clown. Pennywise used its arm to drag itself back, using another to try and stab mike, but failed.
"Clown!" Bill yelled once again.
"I'm the eater of worlds." It said weakly.
It tried once again to use its claw to defend itself before Richie came in and ripped the claw from its body and throwing it. They kept chanting clown until it finally laid on its back, its head had deflated and its body was small. "Clown." Mike whispered.
Mike stretched out his hand at it, hearing its heart beat. It scared mike one last time, before laying back down on it's back. Its tiny hands touched Mike's as he reached into the tiny body to grab the heart. Mike took out the heart, its blood floating up. He looked at the losers before each of them placed their hand on the beating heart.
"Look at you..." it said in a weak voice. "You're all grown up." It laughed for the last time. The losers pressed their hands together. They squished the heart until the heartbeat stopped. Pennywise was no more. Its body turned to stone, and its heart disintegrated.
The losers celebrated their victory with hugs. Except richie, he only had eddie on his mind. He raced to his best friend, the others following him. They made it to eddie, only he wasn't breathing. "Wake up." Richie smiled, ready to share the news that they ended it. Eddie didn't wake up.
