Introduction: An ordinary group of civilians from the town of Hawkins - Indiana join forces with an extraordinary girl with telekinetic powers to reclaim their future from their past. Forgotten memories will be remembered, old enemies will resurface and former allies will return as Judgement Day arrives. This is the beginning of the epic that will change the fate of the world. 'Stranger Things 3.0' commences now.

A/N: 'Armageddon' is structured like a collection of Novella each spread across multiple chapters. So, if you're a new reader then my advice is to treat each Episode as a dedicated story in a series. I'd recommend a hot cup of coffee or Russian vodka and some contemplation between each episode to jumpstart the imagination.

There will be some references to my previous works where I've established relationships and backstories. I'll stick to mostly the canonical characters as I want to tell their stories.

The first chapter is a sneak peek into the Extended ST Universe. The contents of this chapter will never be edited as it foretells how the world ends.

Episode 0: Prologue

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, the torn pages of a book scattered in the wind.'

It was dinner time in the Wheeler house. Karen Wheeler was arranging food on the table. She placed three plates, one each for Ted, Nancy, and Mike, and then groaned in frustration. Mike had gone camping with the Byers and would be spending the weekend there. Nancy had gone to Atlanta on a school trip and will be away for the weekend as well. Karen grimaced, she was becoming so forgetful.

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a pen ran out of ink as the lights went off.'

Ted was switching channels on the TV, but there wasn't anything exciting playing that night. He was slowly becoming irritated, but suddenly he froze. A show was playing, a show that brought memories from the past. A father and his child were walking down a path hidden in a forest. Leaves scattered in the winds as the forest welcomed them in its abode. He sat down on the lazy boy and pulled a lever.

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a badge was ripped from a uniform.'

Karen placed some chicken on Ted's plate and sighed, 'the man was becoming obsessed with chicken, just as Mike had become so obsessed with Eggos since last year.' She poured some milk into a glass and placed it in front of a small chair. She set a bowl of cereals besides the glass and called out "Holly, come for dinner. Holly?" Holly was nowhere to be seen. Karen pressed the bridge of her nose with the thumb and index of her right hand and breathed, 'That kid!'

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a batter missed the ball that streaked by his bat.

Holly heard her mother calling for her, and she made a funny face. She didn't want to drink milk again, so she had decided to hide in Mike's bedroom. She was going through a book that she had scavenged from Mike's drawer. It was filled with lots of pictures and strange words. It was different from all the other books in his room. It was very old, and the papers had become yellow. But she liked the pictures; they looked like the paintings in her father's room.

'In a certain place, near a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, the remaining wall of a castle fell down.'

She opened a random page and immediately started laughing. A man wearing strange silver-colored clothing rode a majestic horse toward a great wall. It was a magnificent picture. She squinted her eyes to read the name of the horse. It read 'Wind.' Holly really liked that name. She decided to ask Santa for a horse like that next year.

'In a certain place, near a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a skateboard rolling downhill came to a stop.'

Holly tilted the book towards the light and opened another page. The picture showed a ground with no trees, or houses, or animals. It was empty except for the man dressed in strange silver-colored clothes who was lying on the ground. Red ink spotted the man's dress and the field around him. In front of of the man, the sky was covered in black ink. She didn't like that. Some strange looking monsters were coming out of the black ink. She didn't like them at all.

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a radio came to life for the last time.'

Holly turned the next page, and it showed the man's face. He had a square face full of grey beard and had many cuts on his face. Then she noticed the eyes and gasped in amazement. They were the eyes of a brave man, a man who didn't fear the monsters coming towards him. She read the word, 'Defiance.' Her dad had explained it to her once, 'It means someone who is not afraid to rise up against bad people.'

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a small toy rocket came crashing down on earth'.

Holly noticed that the monsters were still coming. She was sure that the monsters wanted to hurt the man, so she urged the man to run away from there. She turned the next page and bent over the picture. The man was facing the hoard of monsters by himself. The picture showed the man's back as he was kneeling on the ground on one foot, but his head was held high. He had one hand placed on his raised knee and another fist raised towards the sky. Even in front of so many monsters, the man would not run away. She read the word, 'Justice,' she knew its meaning. She felt proud for some unknown reason.

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a human who believed, finally embraced mortality.'

Holly heard her Mommy calling her in an angry tone. Holly embraced 'Defiance' and turned another page. Then she lifted the book in her hands in a quick motion. Holly looked at the picture carefully. The man was reaching for the skies as a bright light shone from the sky onto his raised hand. An even brighter object gleamed through that light, it had a long curved shape with a golden handle, a sliver of white light flashed below the handle. The rest of the object was adorned with magnificent patterns. Holly looked in awe as the darkness recoiled from that light, the monsters covered their eyes and screamed in agony. She read the words written in big letters next to the picture; she spelled them one word at a time.

"The Sword of Destiny has returned to The Last Knight."

'In a certain place, not so far from a sleeping town called Hawkins, Indiana, a door made of wood burst into a shower of splinters and a man with white hair and wearing a black suit walked in to claim what was rightfully his.'

And this is how the world ends.
