MASTER OF PUPPETS — METALLICA

Taste me, you will see. More is all
you need. Dedicated to how I'm
killing you.




THE NOW SMALLER
group were all still at
around in the van, all
about to get ready to go.

"Okay. I want to run through
it one more time." Nancy told
the group, who all looked to
listen. "Phase one."

"We meet Erica at the
playground. She'll signal
Max and Lucas when we're
ready." Robin said.

"Phase two." Nancy
instructed.

"Max baits Vecna. He'll
go after her, which'll put
him in his trance." Steve
said.

"Phase three?"

"Me, Eddie, and Dustin
draw the bats away."
Sadie sighed, as
Eddie wrapped a arm
around her waist, and
pushed Dustin's head
forward.

"Four?"

"We head into Vecna's hopefully
newly bat-free lair, and..." She
held up one of the bottles.
"Flambé."

"Nobody moves on to the
next phase until we've all
copied. Nobody deviates
from the plan, no matter
what. Got it?" Nancy
explained.

"Got it." They all said,
grabbing their things,
and heading back to Eddie's
trailer from the woods.

As they all climbed inside,
Steve headed up through
the gate.

"Be careful." Dustin said
to the boy.

"Thanks, buddy." Steve
smiled before climbing up.
"Here goes nothing."

He landed on his feet,
like a badass, looking
back up at all of them.

"What does he want us
to do, applaud?" Robin
joked, as Steve dragged
Eddie's mattress to the
gate, giving them a nice
landing pad.

"Alright. Let's go."
Steve told them as
Nancy climbed through,
then Nancy's supplies,
then Eddie, then Sadie,
then their supplies, then
Robin, and then Dustin.

Everyone walked outside,
Sadie picking at her nails.

"Hey, please don't die. I
love you guys." She smiled.
