This was bad.
Like, really, really bad.
El was currently pinned against a pillar, trying to escape.
Mike was facing the one and only Vecna, who was currently trying to kill him.
He had Mike floating in the air and Mike could feel his limbs stretching.
Vecna turned to El who was glaring.
Vecna was raised on vines to become level with Mike.
A vine swooped up and started choking Mike.
He coughed. His limbs were stretching even farther.
"You." Mike started to say. "Will. Not. Get, away... with this."
"But I already have." Vecna growled and went to finish the job.
Mike gasped and shuddered as he felt the vine tightening around his throat and his limbs stretching farther.
Suddenly, there was a creak and a floating door was coming down on them.
Both hero and villain fell to the ground and looked to see El.
Blood dripped from her nose and she had a death glare on her.
El threw Vecna back and began fighting him.
The fight favored El for a few minutes before Vecna began overpowering her.
Soon, El was in a similar position as Mike was.
Speaking of Mike.
Vecna probably should have dealt with him sooner.
Mike grabbed a piece of wood from the broken door and stabbed Vecna.
El dropped to the ground as Vecna tried to get the wood out of him.
It gave El plenty of time to thrash him away and run to Mike.
"Let's go!" she screamed.
Mike quickly followed her.
"Think of home!" El told him.
"What?"
"Just do it!"
Mike closed his eyes and thought of his friends, his family, riding his bike with them, playing DND with them...
Suddenly, Mike was falling.
Something was happening.
Everyone was surrounding Mike and El, who were both sitting on the floor, cloths over their eyes.
"Do you think their doing it?" Dustin whispered.
He really hoped so, that jerk killed Eddie.
"I hope so." Max told him, for her own obvious reasons.
El twitched violently.
"What was that?" Robin asked.
No one had an answer.
Mike gasped and tore his blindfold off abruptly.
"Mike! What's wrong?" Nancy asked.
Mike shook his head and kept breathing heavily.
El then did the same thing as Mike.
"Vecna's coming." she stated.
"What?" came from everyone in the room, including Mike.
Steve squinted at Mike. "How do you not know this? You were there!"
Mike threw his hands up. "I was kind of occupied on trying to figure out how to survive!"
The room was quiet.
"Well, that's a good excuse." Dustin reasoned.
El huffed and caught everyone's attention.
"While we were fighting Vecna," she explained. "He overpowered me. So Mike tried to pull a move like Max did. He tried to stab Vecna. And it worked."
Max titled her head in confusion. "It didn't when I tried." she murmured.
"I know. Which is why I think he was a bit weak. He was trying to shift in the real world. Maybe to surprise you guys while fighting us."
El then turned to Will.
"Did you feel anything?"
"I mean," Will started. "I've been feeling goosebumps since we got here but I thought it was just..."
Will paused.
"Will?" Johnathan asked.
Will touched the back of his neck. "Yeah, yeah you were right El."
Everyone looked nervous.
"Vecna's coming."
Nancy cleaned her gun.
Steve put fresh, new nails in a bat.
Erica, Lucas, Robin, Max, and Dustin prepared fire weapons.
Johnathan made sure Will was okay.
Mike accompanied El while she planned.
She was mumbling, trying to look at it from every angle.
"El."
El kept planning.
"El."
She didn't respond.
"El!"
El blinked and turned to her boyfriend.
"Sorry, what were you saying."
"I was just saying that," Mike hesitated.
"Yes, Mike?" El asked.
"You don't have to do this alone."
"What?"
Mike sighed. "You seem to be thinking that this is all up to you."
El scoffed. "Yeah because it kind of is. I'm the one with powers. I'm the one who can stop him."
"Yeah, I know that. But look," Mike pointed to where everyone was planning. "They can help to. Their planning to. You don't have to do this alone."
El looked at her family, all planning for something that could end them all.
"But," El protested. "If they get involved, they have a more likely chance of dying."
Mike gave her a small smile. "I know. But just think about it. We all have experience with this. We all have a plan. With all of us, we have a better chance of winning. We have a better chance to make sure that this time, no one dies."
El nodded. "Alright, let's go plan."
The couple walked towards their family and started planning.
Two hours later, they were ready, and just in time too.
Vecna was here.
"Everyone ready?" El looked around.
The Party all had determined looks on their faces.
El turned to Mike.
"Ready." he stated.
Let's just say, Vecna didn't stand a chance.
And that, Mike was right.
This time, no one dies.
