   Summary

   The small town of Hawkins, Indiana is reeling after the ground beneath it cracked open. The news called it an earthquake, but there are a few who know the truth. They know the real fight against interdimensional forces has just begun. They also know that the arrival of the military to contain the situation will only make preparations that much harder. It's only a matter of time before Vecna returns. Will the heroes of Hawkins be ready for the final battle?

   This is an AU rewrite of the utterly disappointing Season 5, adding more elements of the stage play and filling in the extra large gaps between Season 4 & 5 and the ending events to graduation.
