The losers went down the hole and a smaller passage way that they  had to squeeze into. When they  passed that we found were Pennywise had crashed when he entered earth.

"so, all this has been under Darry, like, forever?" Eddie asked
"not forever... Just a few million years" Mike answered.
"so forever" beth mumbled. The losers walked up to the crater and as Mike sat down the ritual of chud container we circled around it.

"It can only be attacked in its true form. The ritual will show us that"
"and what is its true form?" Ben asked.

"I hope it's a puppy. Like a Pomeranian or.." Richie started.
Before he could finish he noticed that beth and Beverly were giving him a dirty look.
"I'll shut up" Richie nodded.

"a light that must be snuffed out by darkness"
Mike poured some lighter fluid in to the pot and lit a match. He stood up as the fire burned.

"your artifacts... The past must burn with the present" Mike explained.
Bill stepped up first.
"uh, this is the boat I built with Georgie" bill sighed and dropped the paper boat in.

"it's, uh, my inhaler" Eddie looked at one more time and took a puff from it before throwing it in.
"something that I wish I had held on to." bev said dropping the post card in.
Beth  knew it was the poem Ben wrote her. He told her to keep it a secret.

Beth looked down as she dropped the post card in.
Ben was next. "this is a page from my year book, only one person signed.. I probably should have forgotten it but I couldn't because I kept it in my wallet... For 27 years"
Beverly looked up because she was the only one who signed it. It was day she  first met him and beth. She thought he was cute and goofy. When she took his year book she  didn't see any other names. She probably felt bad that Beth and  him was unpopular like I was.             
  The three became best friends after that. He looked over at me than Beverly as he dropped it in.
Beth stepped forward and pulled out the half hart necklace Bill gave her.
"this is the friendship necklace Bill  gave me. I should have held on to it but I lost it. Its a reminder that I'm not alone . You guys have always been like my family. You guys took me away from the worst part of my life. You all are so important to me."she mumbled the last part. And dropped the chain in and  stepped back and Beverly put her hand on her shoulder and gave her a tight hug. Beth let go and watched Ritchie come up.
" this is a token from the Capitol Theater " he quickly said and dropped it in.

"you brought an actual token?"

"yeah, man. That's what we were supposed to do, asshole"

"Do you have any idea how long that's gonna take to burn?"

"Yeah, but so is your inhaler, dude. All the toxic fumes and the plastic and shit so..."
Mike cut there conversion short and held up a rock that was covered in red.  "look closely, Bev"
Beverly came closer and looked at the rock.
"you see it? That's were you hit Bowers. Mike smiled

"the rock fight" Beth  said as a small smile appeared on bills face.
Mike looked at the rock and put it in.

"that's not going to burn either"
Eddie said and Stan looked up again and pulled out his  shower cap.
"can't forget about Stan." Beth  smiled. As Stan dropped it in with out a word.

"grab hands"
The losers all stood in a circle Beverly taking Beth's  left and Bill  taking her  right.

"the ritual of chud its the battle of wills. The first step was our reunion. The second was gathering the tokens. This is the final step." Mike said as The flam went out and they felt a heavy wind blow over. Beth  looked up and saw a opening and three balls that shined really bright.
"don't look at it" Mike shouted.

"is that the deadlights? Eddie asked"

don't look at them... Turn light in to dark. Turn light in to dark. Say it!"

They all closed our eyes and started chanting. The wind got stronger and something got louder.
The deadlights made its was in to the pot and Mike quietly tried to put the lid on. He struggled as the losers  saw a red balloon grow. It pushed off the lid and it continued to grow and grow. It finally expanded. It filled up the whole crater. They all backed way and it popped. Beth's ears started to ring she backed and Bil came over to her. She couldn't hear him at the moment so she  just wrapped my arms around him as the ringing stopped and her hearing came back.
They all gathered around each other. Our fleshlights lit up all our faces.
"did we do it? Did we do it?" Eddie asked
"we put the tokens in the thing. that's good right?" Richie shouted.
Beth looked around and she  flashlight landed on Pennywise's face.
"BOO!" it shouted at all of them

"holy fuck" Beth backed up and bumped in to Bill's chest.

"did it work Mikey?"
