Both Ava and Lucas looked at each other in anxiousness. "Shit." Lucas mutters, then someone walks into the room. Jason Carver, yet again. "Jason?" Lucas says, "You can't be here right now, man." Lucas adds. "The hell have you two done?" Jason asks, noticing Max and her eyes. "Jason." Lucas says, taking most of the responsibility in this situation because he knows Jason, "You need to leave." He says, walking slowly towards Jason.

"Is this what you did to Chrissy?" Jason asks, walking to Max. "Get the hell away from her, psycho." Ava says to Jason. "Hey." Jason says, trying to receive an answer from Max, "Jason, you need to go, man." Lucas says. "Hi, can you.. can you hear me?" Jason asks, waving his hand in Max's face. "Jason, don't fucking touch her." Ava says, "We're not messing around." Lucas backs Ava up. "Hey." Jason says to Max, "Jason! Please, just—" Lucas says, now close to Jason; "Hey, back up! Back up!" Jason says, holding up a revolver, positioning it at Lucas' head.

Lucas backs up and puts his hands up, Ava just standing there, hands in her pockets. "Not another step." Jason says, "Wait, we.. we don't have to do this." Lucas says, voice filled with fear. "I hope you're right." Jason responds, "Is there anyone else in the house?" Jason asks. "No." Ava responds coldly, "Turn around." Jason says, "What?" Lucas asks. "Turn around!" Jason says more forcefully, "Okay, okay. Relax." Lucas says, slowly turning around.

"Ava." Lucas mutters, "Turn around." He says. "I'm not listening to Jason fucking Carver." Ava responds, staring Jason down. "I want you to back the hell away from the girl, especially since you're holding a revolver." Ava says to Jason. "I'm the one with the gun, Harrington." Jason says, now pointing the gun towards Ava. "You know, i actually understand why you're doing this." Ava says, "What?" Jason says, chuckling a bit.

"I understand why you're acting like a total psycho." Ava says, "Oh yeah?" Jason says. "Yeah. I really do." Ava responds, "I knew Chrissy, which technically means that i know you." Ava says, "She wouldn't stop talking about you." She adds. Jason just stared at her in response, Chrissy being a sensitive topic for him. "I know you miss her, and you want justice for her, am i right?" Ava asks, Jason waits a few seconds before nodding slowly. "That's what we're trying to do, Jason." Ava says, putting her hands up slowly and walking towards him. "Me and Lucas are trying to get justice for Chrissy, and so is she." Ava says, pointing at Max.

"That's the whole point of this situation, okay? You're just misunderstanding it." Ava says, stepping a bit closer to Jason. "How is.. is this getting justice?" Jason asks, tightening his grip on the revolver. "You wouldn't believe me if i told you." Ava responds, "What's wrong with this girl?" Jason asks, pointing at Max. "She's trying.. she's trying to stop the thing that killed Chrissy." Ava sighs, knowing the information she's giving Jason is unbelievable.

"Thing?" Jason asks, "No. No, Eddie Munson killed Chrissy, and all those other freaks!" Jason says, pointing the gun at Lucas now. "Where is he?" Jason asks, "I.. I don't know, man." Lucas responds. "Sinclair, you're going to make this situation harder for all of us." Jason says. "We don't know where Eddie is!" Ava says, "We just need you to leave!" She says. "Get back." Jason says, pointing the gun at Ava. Ava slowly steps back, now next to Lucas again. "I might have to use my power." Ava whispers to Lucas, "No, you'll kill him." Lucas whispers back. "It doesn't have to kill." She whispers.

"Put down the flashlight, Lucas." Jason says, "Okay, okay." Lucas says, setting down the flashlight. "Empty your pockets. Both of you." Jason demands, both Ava and Lucas emptying their pockets, the pocket knife falling from Ava's left pocket. "Now, this is what's gonna happen." Jason says, "I'm gonna back away to the top of the stairs there," He says, not taking his eyes off of Ava and Lucas' backs.

"Then i'll watch as you wake her up from whatever the hell this is." Jason says, "We cant." Lucas sighs, turning around to face Jason, same as Ava. "Jason." Lucas says, "If i wake her too soon, we all die." He says. "No." Jason says, "You don't wake her up right now, you both die, Sinclair." Jason says coldly, clicking his gun. "Just you two." He adds. "Believe me, Jason, i want to wake her up." Ava says, "But.. but we just can't." She says.

Ava could feel a strange feeling, as if it was surrounding her. It was.. a new feeling. Not like Vecna, or her powers taking affect, it was new. It was as though someone was around her, someone that she knew. Someone that she missed. "I'll help her, Ava." That voice said, but it was quiet, as if a whisper. "Right now, focus on yourself." That same voice said. It was a girl. Her voice was so recognizable, Ava knew who it was, or she hoped it was who she thought. Eleven.

Ava looked back up at Jason, then at Max. Eleven was going to help Max, and Ava didn't have to worry much about the redhead at the moment. "Look, man." Lucas says, stepping close to Jason. "Chrissy.. she was seeing things. Terrible things." Lucas says, "Things Vecna forced her to see." He adds. "She was scared." Ava adds from beside Lucas, "No." Jason says firmly. "She just needed help." Lucas says, "That's how i know you're lying." Jason responds, his eyes filled with revenge.

"If Chrissy was scared, if.. if Chrissy wanted help, she would've come to me!" Jason says. "Not Eddie!" He says, "Not that freak! Never!" He adds. "You're wrong about Eddie." Ava says, "No." Jason responds. "But i was wrong about you two." Jason says, "I never should've let you in the door, Sinclair." Jason says, "And i never should have knocked." Lucas responds coldly. "I thought i wanted to be like you." Lucas says, putting his hands down. "Popular." Lucas says. "Normal." He adds, "But it turns out, normal's just a raging psychopath." He says.

"You have five seconds to wake her up." Jason says, Lucas and Ava staring at him. "Four." Jason says, "Three." He says, then Lucas dunks, Jason shooting the bullet but missing, and Lucas tackles Jason. "Holy shit, Lucas!" Ava says, watching the two tackle each other. Jason punches Lucas in the face twice, then pushes him to the floor. Jason then walks towards Lucas, crushing the walkman and headphones beneath him. "No!" Ava shouts, "No!" She repeats.

Jason then kicks Lucas in the jaw, punching him again. Jason tackles Lucas to the ground, "Shit, shit!" Ava says, worried about Lucas and Max now. "Shit!" She repeats, grabbing the pocket knife from the ground, staring at Jason, not sure if she should impale him. Ava keeps thinking about Eleven, she will surely save Max. "Shit." Ava says under her breath again, running towards Jason. Ava stabs Jason with the pocket knife, him groaning in response. She quickly pulls the knife out, tossing it to the floor. "Oh my God." Ava mutters.

Lucas then punches Jason in the face multiple times, knocking him to the ground. Ava and Lucas look at each other, then look behind them, only to see Max floating in the air. "No! Shit!" Ava says, rushing to the walkman, trying to fix it, "No!" She says, "Lucas, we need to do something!" She says. "I-I don't know!" Lucas responds, worriedly. "Lucas!" Erica shouts. "Shit!" Ava says, making block fog appear out of her hands. She was angry. Ava tried to get Max out of there using her powers, no prevail.

"Vecna!" Ava shouts, "Get me instead!" She pleads. "Please! I'm begging you, take me!" She says. "I'll make it easy!" She says, "Just leave her alone!" Ava says. "Fuck this, i'm getting there myself." Ava says, using her powers to full extent. "Ava! Stop!" Lucas says, trying to stop Ava from doing something stupid. Ava surrounds herself in the black fog, thinking of the red land that Vecna was usually at. "Take me there." She mumbles, closing her eyes. "Take me there!" She shouts, her black fog looking as though it's vibrating.

The black fog then recedes, Ava looking around. She was there. She sees Max on the ground in the land, "Max!" Ava shouts, running to her, crouching down. She then sees Eleven near Vecna. "El!" Ava says, "Get Max out of here!" Ava says. "Please, i'll take care of Vecna!" She says. El looks back at Ava, then hesitantly nods. "Hurry." Ava says to El, El picking up Max with her powers. Ava then surrounds the two in black fog, moving them back to where Lucas was. She wanted to go with them, but somebody had to finish the job.

"Ava." Vecna says, standing up from where Eleven had him. "You really think that you can destroy me?" He asks, chuckling. "I know i can." Ava says, producing black fog from her hands. "I'm glad you're here, Ava." He says, stepping closer to the girl. "You can be the fourth and final chime." He says, tilting his head slightly. "Depends if you can get me." Ava responds, increasing the amount of fog in her hands. "You think some.. fog is going to stop me?" He asks, "It sure stopped the Mind Flayer." Ava says. "Which was your creation, if im not mistaken." She adds.

"Max?!" Lucas says in shock, Max sits up in a hurry. "Where's Ava?" Max asks, "And El." She adds. "Eleven? What?" Lucas asks, confused. "Nothing- Where's Ava?" Max asks, "She went to get you, but she hasn't come back." Lucas says. They both see Ava standing there with her eyes rolled back. Her physical body. "Ava!" Max shouts, running to her. "Ava, please, get out of there!" Max begs, holding Ava's face. "Lucas!" Erica says, running into the room. "Erica! Go get help!" Lucas says, pointing at Ava. "I already got it!" Erica says, holding a pair of headphones and a walkman.

"What the hell? Where did you find another pair?" Lucas asks, "Steve brought an extra pair in case something happened to Ava, and something did, so what's her favorite song?!" Erica asks, everyone facing Max. "I-I, um, uh, oh! It's Judas! Judas by Lady Gaga!" (I know it's released in 2011 but it fits perfectly, and has a 1980 vibe.) Max says, all of them trying to find it in the pile that Steve brought. "Found it!" Lucas says, lifting up the song. "Put it in!" Max says, Lucas putting the song into the walkman. "Go, go!" Erica says, Lucas running to put the headphones on Ava's head. Lucas pressed play, the song now playing.

~~~

"Oh~, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~" The song says, "What the hell?" Ava mumbles, Vecna then looks back at the girl. "This isn't going to help you." He says, his raspy voice echoing. "Oh~, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~" It continues, "Whatever, let's just get this over with." Ava says, positioning her hands, black fog rising into the air. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Juda-ah-ah." The song continues, Ava and Vecna slowly walking closer to each other. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Gaga." It continues.

Ava then charges at Vecna, grabbing onto his right arm and putting black fog on it, thinking of it slicing his arm, which it does. Vecna groans in pain, growling at the girl. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Juda-ah-ah." Vecna then pushes Ava into the air, choking her slowly. Ava puts her hands out and puts black fog onto his face, blinding him for a bit. She then thinks of small explosions, the fog exploding lightly, Vecna hissing in pain, letting the girl go. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Gaga." Ava takes advantage of the situation, running to Vecna and putting more black fog onto his back, slicing the tentacles surrounding his back.

"I'm not going to be nice anymore." Vecna grumbles, staring at Ava, his stare almost being deadly. "As if you ever were." Ava responds, clenching her fists. "When he calls to me, i am ready." Vecna grabs Ava's arm, attempting to snap it. Ava puts more black fog onto his arm, slicing it, but he surely injured her own arm. "I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs." Vecna takes Ava's ankle and snaps it, Ava shouting in pain. Ava puts black fog onto his chest, using both hands, and thinks of more slicing, all the tentacles on his chest slicing in half.

"Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain." Ava stands up again, not applying too much pressure on her ankle, but just enough that it stings. She puts fog onto Vecna's hand, hoping her power was strong enough for what she thought. Vecna's hand gets ripped in half from his arm, Vecna groaning. "Even after three times, he betrays me." The song continues, Vecna lifts Ava into the air, choking her immensely. Ava coughs, weakly putting her hands up to try and produce fog. "Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, i'll bring him down, bring him down, down." Ava surrounds herself in black fog, Vecna's power unable to suffice throughout the black fog. "Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, A king with no crown, king with no crown." The song plays.

"I will kill you, and your friends." Vecna says, "I've already got one down." He says, catching Ava off guard. "Who?" Ava says, her voice firm, in anger after hearing this. "The one that started this entire thing. The one who is wanted." Vecna says. Ava gasps, eyes widening. "Eddie." Ava says, her voice softening at his name. Her fog starts to become a dark red, it could be the red of the realm reflecting off of her fog, or it could be because she felt one thing, and one thing only. Pure anger. "I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby, it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas, baby." The song continues.

Ava stands upright, not even acknowledging her ankle. She tries launching pounds of black fog onto Vecna, but he moves out of the way, the fog landing onto the floor, the air particles moving. Vecna lifts Ava into the air once more, her neck feeling as though it's bone would snap any second. "I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby, it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas, baby." Ava puts black fog on her own neck, putting light explosions on it. She definitely doesn't seem like a nerd, but she is. She knows that Telekinesis has a wave form, and that's surely what Vecna was using, considering the feeling was so strong against her neck. "Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~"

She exploded her own neck lightly, the explosions traveling to Vecna's hand. Vecna stepped back at that, and Ava felt to the floor. "Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~" It continues. "I know why you chose this song." Vecna says in a grumbly, raspy voice. "I bet you do." Ava scoffs, standing up slowly, burn marks on her neck. "You still love Max." He says, "It's a shame you'll die, because she still loves you too." He says, chuckling. "But i'll make sure she'll never see you again." He says in a threatening voice. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Juda-ah-ah." It continues.

Ava puts black fog onto Vecna's leg at a quick pace, too quick for him to dodge, and she slices the tentacles on his leg. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah, Judas, Gaga." Vecna groans, goo falling from most of the tentacles that she had sliced. "I couldn't love a man so purely, even prophets forgave his goofy way." Vecna takes Ava's left arm and tries snapping the bone, Ava quickly reacting and putting black fog on her arm, putting light explosions yet again, it dragging to Vecna, making him growl. "I've learned love is like a brick, you can build a house or sink a dead body." Ava groaned, Vecna still somehow was able to snap her left arm's bone.

"Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, I'll bring him down, bring him down, down." The song continues playing, Ava standing up, but barely being able to. She felt her muscles ache, her power was surely draining her energy. As well as her broken ankle and arm, and the burn marks on her neck and arm. She felt as though she was surely going to die soon. "Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, A king with no crown, king with no crown." Vecna snapped Ava's left wrist, making the girl groan. He then lifted her into the air, choking her once again. He pushed her into a wall, tentacles surrounding her body. "Im just a Holy Fool, oh, baby, it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas , baby."

Vecna slowly approached Ava, her coughing. "Im just a Holy Fool, oh, baby, it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas, baby." Vecna tilted his head at the girl. "You put up a good fight, but it wasn't good enough." He says, his voice echoing. "Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, i'm in love with Judas, baby." Vecna slightly analyzes the girl, almost as if debating what to do with her. "Kill me already." Ava mumbles. "In the most Biblical sense, i am beyond repentance. Fame hooker, prostitute, wench vomits her mind but in the cultural sense, i just speak in future tense." Vecna grumbles lightly in response.

"You're weak. Fragile." Vecna says, "All i did was break three bones and you're already done." He says. "It's sad, really. But it's so amusing." He adds, walking closer to her. "Judas, kiss me if offended, or wear ear condom next time." Ava looks into Vecna's eyes, analyzing him back. "You made it easy:" He says in a taunting voice, raising his hand up to her face. "I wanna love you, but something's pulling me away from you. Jesus is my virtue, and Judas is the demon i cling to, i cling to."

~~~

Max, Lucas, and Erica all see Ava lift into thin air, them getting far too used to that sight. "Ava!" Lucas shouts, "Wait, no!" Max shouts, panicking. "Erica, go get help!" Lucas demands from his younger sister, whom stares at him in shock before running out not the room. "No!" Max shouts, "Why isn't the music working?!" Max asks. "It should work!" She shouts. "Play it louder!" Lucas says, "It's as loud as it can get!" Erica responds, eveeyone panicking.

~~~

"Just like Max." Vecna says, "Just like Eddie." He adds. "I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas, baby." The music plays, "Just like Chrissy." He continues, "Like Billy." He continues to taunt. "I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby it's so cruel. But i'm still in love with Judas, baby." "Like everyone else, you made it easy." He finishes. "And it's because you know you can't do anything against me. They all have the same fate, and yours is going to be right in front of the girl you love most." Vecna says in an echoey tone. "Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~"

Vecna stares at the girl, his hand still raised near her face as his head twists. "You never got to make things right with her." He adds, trying to break the girl before even killing her. "Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, i'm in love with Judas, Judas.~" The song continues, "This i-isn't over." Ava mumbles, her breath staggery. "Eleven will come back to finish you, whether she manages to save me o-or not." She says. "That's the thing, Ava." Vecna says, his voice taunting. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah." The song continues, "She didn't come to save you, did she?" He asks, "No, she left you. Like the waste that you are." He says, closing his eyes and moving his hand closer to the girls face.

Ava closes her eyes, her breathing heavy. She couldn't help but think about all the things that Vecna had said. Waste, worthless, piece of shit, fag, everything. She accepted that those words came from him, but not those she truly cares about. If that's what Vecna thinks, then so be it. "Judas, Juda-ah-ah." As long as everyone else acknowledges her as something greater, then she's happy. She thinks about every happy memory she could think of, but the craze of this all happening is making it difficult.

Steve and Ava contemplating on halloween costumes, Max and Ava's first conversation, her and the party always going to the arcade, when she got accepted into the
