Dart in the Upside Down

Dart in the Upside Down is a spinoff of the Netflix hit: Stranger Things. It serves as a midquel and it shows what is going on in the The Upside Down during the time between Season 2, and the beginning of Season 3. The story focuses on the well-known Demodog, Dart, and his adventures within his home.

## Basic Plot Summary

Dart returns to the Upside Down alive, surprisingly, and goes to find his family. When he does, he learns that his mother is dead, and that they have moved out of the shed where he was born. His family has joined an organization against The Mind Flayer, run by a very harsh Demogorgon, Bitte.

Dart reunites with his family and old friends, but the happiness doesn't last for long, for there are flayed Demogorgons roaming around, ready to attack at any moment. One in particular, Pluddle, is very aggressive and dangerous.

During the time they are taking down the flayed, Dart, Plongs, and Trors encounter a strange Demogorgon that seems to be on the verge of death, but not really at the same time. For some reason, Dart thinks that this mysterious being is oddly familiar.

## Episodes

### Return to the Upside Down

Dart escapes Earth and is able to find his way back into the Upside Down. He ventures across the dangerous land filled with flayed demogorgons and reaches the farlands beyond the Mind Flayer's control. For the first time since he was a pollywog, he sees his family...Plongs, Tekhia, Wakeek, and Crokerfy are all overjoyed to see their lost family member return home. Dart also learns that his mother sadly fell into the claws of the Mind Flayer and was never heard from again. He is then introduced to BLAF, an organization founded by the demogorgon Bitte dedicated to taking the Mind Flayer down, and also meets a new ally named Trors.

### A Hunting We Will Go

Dart, Plongs, Trors, and Gnorp go on a hunting expedition together in search of food since their supply was currently low. While on this trip, Dart learns that The Upside Down has gotten far more dangerous since The Mind Flayer arrived and a huge portion of the land was infested with demogorgons and other creatures that were hellbent on killing anything that wasn't flayed. After a brief scare, the group returns home with great fresh-kill and enjoys a feast back at the camp.

### Pluddle

Plongs is out venturing by herself in search of a rotten smell she detected earlier and encounters a sinister-looking demodog ripping apart another unnamed demodog. The bloody one catches the scent of Plongs and chases her out of the area. When Plongs returns to camp, she warns everyone of what she saw, and so Bitte sets out a search party consisting of Dart, Plongs, and Florrichar to investigate. They find the corpse the mysterious demodog was consuming earlier and find out it's one of their allies. Seconds later, the demodog launches herself onto the group and attacks them, despite being outnumbered. She is very powerful, but she eventually loses and is questioned by the group. She says her name is Pluddle and she is working for Vecna, then escapes into the darkness. Nobody knows who Vecna is, and they are all very confused.
