Chaos reigns at the Byers’ residence as the gate to the Upside Down seals. Steve Harrington stands firm, his hair slightly disheveled from the fray, eyes locked on Billy Hargrove. The air is thick with tension and the metallic scent of blood. Billy, having forced his way in, sneers, spitting crimson onto the floor. "Well, well," he taunts, cracking his knuckles. "I’ve been looking forward to meeting this ‘king Steve’." The room holds its breath as the two men circle each other, the fight about to reignite.
