*The scene opens with Ozzy and Hayden still laying on the ground. All of the War Pigs have disappeared and the flames have extinguished. Hayden's eyes then slowly begin to open.*

(Hayden): What. . . What happened to me?

*Hayden looks down and notices multiple injuries along his entire body.*

(Hayden): A stand attack?

*Hayden looks to his left and then to his right when he ends up seeing Ozzy's burnt body.*

(Hayden): Who is that?

Hayden: Hey! Hey! Are you okay?

*Ozzy remains silent but his arm begins to tremble as it slowly rises.*

Hayden: Who are you? I can't recognize you.

*Hayden turns over and tries to get up when he feels a sharp pain down his spine.*

Hayden: Ahhh!

*Hayden lays back down before attempting to move his legs to try and stand up again. As his legs remain unresponsive he begins to understand why he can't move them.* 

Hayden: What? What the hell happened to my legs?

(Hayden): Was I paralyzed?

*Hayden begins trying to move every part of his body and only his legs remain unresponsive.*

(Hayden): I can move everything but my legs.

Hayden: Listen to me, whoever you are! I'm gonna come check on you, but it'll take me a while to get there. Just hang on, okay?

*Ozzy attempts to move again but is unable to and begins coughing violently.*

(Hayden): That cough! Don't tell me.

Hayden: Ozzy?!!! Ozzy! What happened?

*Hayden begins to use his arms to drag himself over towards Ozzy. As he does he summons Loaded Question.*

Hayden: Ozzy! I don't know if you can speak at all but if you can please answer my question. It'll keep you from losing consciousness!

*Ozzy's head moves slightly to the left and tilts down.*

Hayden: Damn it! Ozzy! Are you okay?!!!

*Ozzy's head slowly raises up as he struggles to respond, eventually he finally gets to a point where he can mutter out one word.* 

Ozzy: Hrnngh. . . No!

*Ozzy's head falls back down as Loaded Question puts him into a questioning state. Hayden then continues dragging himself over to Ozzy.*

Hayden: There we go.

*Loaded Question suddenly opens its cassette player and black tape protrudes from it. Hayden watches as the tape wraps around Ozzy's leg and begins pulling him towards Hayden as he continues to crawl.*

(Hayden): What? Did I do that?

*As Hayden continues to drag himself he hears multiple footsteps approaching him from inside the mall. He reaches for the pistol he put back into his pocket and aims it at the door.*

Hayden: Stop! Don't come any closer!

*Isaiah runs out the door and stops as soon as he sees Hayden aiming the pistol at him.*

Isaiah: Woah! Calm down.

*Hayden looks at Isaiah closely as the rest of the group runs out behind him before putting the pistol back into his pocket.*
