This does have a happy ending I promise.

Richie got out of the car he'd rented at exactly 4:30, and was immediately confused at the lack of cars in the driveway. He'd decided to go to Mike's first, because he figured that after yesterday this was where everyone would meet. He searched around a little for the spare key Mike told him about and eventually found it, unlocking the door and looking around. He looked in the living room, which was a bit of a mess considering El usually kept it clean. He made a face and wandered into the kitchen, and immediately saw a note on the fridge. He took it off and started reading.

There was a change of plans, Rich, we had to go a lot earlier than expected. Holly was taken and we're going to get her. We're at the lab, just follow the trail of possible destruction and children's toys. This note was written at 4:21 PM so I honest to God hope you're back in time to help. ~ Eddie

If Richie was being honest, he didn't even read the rest of the note, he just dropped it and ran to the car, putting it in reverse and out onto the road. He sped toward the lab as quickly as he could, glancing at the bat in the seat next to him. Yeah, he brought the exact same bat he smacked Pennywise with the first time. He came to a sudden stop when he saw a small group of people huddled around a couple cars. He jumped out with the bat, and rushed over to them. It was Hopper, Nancy, Jonathan, Holly, and an injured Mike H.

"Richie!" Holly screeched and ran to him. He hugged her tightly, almost picking her up in the process.

"Th-the note said IT got you." He said quietly, but they heard him. He looked at the others.

"Mike got in there and brought her back out." Hopper told him.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you, Holly." He told her, hugging her tightly. He looked at Mike H and gave him a grateful smile. He just nodded back to him.

"It's okay. I'm fine now." She gave him a smile. He smiled a small smile back.

"Everyone in there?" He asked. They nodded. He grabbed his bat and lit a cigarette. "Well, I better get in there."

"Be careful. I don't want to lose you again." Nancy told him quietly. He hugged her with one arm.

"You won't." He took off through the hole in the gate and into the lab.

It didn't take long for him to find the battle ground, he just followed the toys on the ground, and when he did, everything seemed to freeze. Pennywise, who was literally about to bite into Bill's shoulder, froze and looked at him. Richie continued on, swinging his bat around and taking a puff of his cigarette as everyone watched him, frozen mid swing or mid aim.

"Hmf, I'm sort of offended. You guys didn't wait on me for the party to start!" He exclaimed, mock hurt. "Oh, hey ol' Penny ol' pal? Did ya miss me?" Richie grinned, flicking the cigarette on the ground and putting it out with his shoe. "Because I sure didn't miss you, ya know."

"Beep beep, Richie." Pennywise dropped Bill and slowly, creepily, walked towards to Richie. "Finally, I get my revenge-"

"Revenge? For what? Oh, this lil ol' thing?" He held the bat up. "Yeah, it wants some revenge too. You fucking tried to kill my little sister, and you tried to take a bite out of my friend there. I'm not too happy, ya know?"

"You can't stop Pennywise now." Pennywise giggled. "I feed on your fear, Richie. You know what your fear is, do you?"

"Yeah, your mom." Richie shrugged. He could have sworn he heard some one snort.

"Richie..." Eddie said softly. Richie glanced at him. He had a thin trail of blood running down the side of his head, but other than that, he looked fine. No trace of black goo on him this time around.

"Don't you worry Eds, we're gonna kill this bastard, once and for all."

"You can't!" Pennywise giggled again. "My home is gone! No returning for Pennywise, oh no!"

"Your home, is gone." Mike growled. Richie looked at him. He looked a little worse for wear, paler than usual, if that's even possible, sweat dripping from his chin, dark blood stains on his left shoulder. "You have no where to go."

"You're no longer invincible." Bill glared.

"You aren't connected to that place anymore, you're not immortal." Lucas sneered.

"You can't kill me!" He giggled. "I'm too fast! Too scary! Strong, yes, Pennywise is very strong." He started towards Lucas, but Richie stopped him dead in his tracks.

"You wanted me, come and get me, mother fucker." Richie growled, gripping the bat. "You've wanted me this entire time, so just leave them alone, why don't ya?"

"Stronger together..." Pennywise whispered. "Not scared."

"I'm not afraid of you." Richie said.

"None of us are." Eddie spit.

"You're afraid of us, now, just like when we were kids." Bev continued.

"No, no! Pennywise not afraid... Pennywise hungry." His eyes glowed and he snarled. He did a complete one eighty and charged at Richie. Richie heard gunshots and it slowed Pennywise down, but he put all his strength into it and swung.

"Welcome back, asshole!" He yelled, hitting Pennywise in the face as hard as he could, which sent him spiraling to the floor in a heap. Pennywise growled and got up again, but everyone started attacking him.

"No, no! No, no!" Pennywise giggled menacingly, throwing an arm out and swinging blindly, throwing Max, Mike, Ben, and Eddie into a wall. Another arm, and Bev, Bill, Stan, Dustin, and Lucas were sent flying through the air and landed in a heap on the ground. Only El, Richie, and Will were left standing as the others attempted to get up.

"Will, go help them." Richie muttered, nudging him towards them. Will looked at him, eyes wide. "Help. Them." He demanded, and turned back towards Pennywise.

He came barreling towards them again, mouth wide open, hundreds of sharp, rotten teeth, readying to tear into them. Richie hit Pennywise with his bat again, and this time, Pennywise anticipated it, and swung an arm out, hitting him and throwing Richie through the air. He hit the wall hard and swore he passed out for a couple seconds because when he opened his eyes again, everyone was up and Mike was standing in front of him.

"Richie? Dude, are you okay?" Richie nodded and sat up. He looked around and saw Pennywise hit everyone again, grabbing Bev by the throat and holding her in the air. She kicked at him, spitting in his face. Richie stood, seeing nothing but red, and picked up his bat.

"You mother fucker!" He yelled. "Let her go!" Pennywise looked towards him, snarling. He turned his attention back to Bev and his face started to open up. A light began shining and her eyes started to glaze over. "No! Take me!" He yelled and Pennywise looked back at him. "Let her go, and take me. You wanted me, take me." He pleaded. Pennywise dropped her and she started gasping for breath. Bill, Ben, and Stan rushed to her and everyone else towards Richie and Pennywise. Richie dropped the bat and stared at Pennywise as his face opened up and he stared into the lights.

Eddie hadn't realized what was actually happening until it was too late and Richie started floating.

"NO!" He screamed. "You MOTHER FUCKER!" He picked up Richie's bat and started swinging blindly, not even registering any of the hits until everyone else had joined in while Mike and Stan got Richie back down.

El suddenly threw out a hand, pushing everyone a way and taking hold of Pennywise. He kept his eyes on her, snarling, but frozen in place. Everyone was watching the whole encounter, breathing hard. She put both hands out, pushing Pennywise back until he was against the wall. To Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, it was almost like they were back in seventh grade, watching her save them from the demogorgan.

"You've killed so many innocent children. You. Killed. Ted. You were going to kill Holly, my niece, everyone I love." She growled. "You hurt my friends, but... No. More..." She threw out a hand, slamming Pennywise into the wall, hard. She did it again, a couple times. All Pennywise did was giggle, slobber running down his chin. Slowly, he turned into an older man, white hair and cold blue eyes...Brenner.

"Eleven...You don't want to hurt me, do you? I'm your papa. I'll always be your pa-" She flicked her chin up and his mouth shut. He turned back into Pennywise, wiggling and trying to get out of her grip. Blood was pouring from both of her nostrils. His eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of his head, and blood started pouring out of them, out of his nose, his mouth, and his ears. She yanked one arm back, and out came his heart, blood squirting out everywhere as all movement ceased.

"No. More." She dropped her hands, and Pennywise's body fell in a heap and the heart dropped with a wet thump. Everyone stared at her, shock, then relief flooding through them. Mike is the only one who reacted. He ran towards her and fell to his knees as she fell to hers. He caught her before she could hit the ground, and hugged her tight. She hugged him back.

"You did it." He whispered soothingly. "You did it, it's over."
