*The scene opens with Bryce standing between the rest of the group members as they react to the challenge.*

Bryce: Me?

Ozzy: Seriously? Why?

*Chris walks closer to the group and explains himself.*

Chris: It's nothing personal.

Bryce: I'd hope so. I just got here, man. Why challenge me?

Chris: Because, from what I've heard about your stand, you're the perfect opponent for me.

Bryce: The hell does that mean?

Chris: Our stands are similar. Or so I've been told.

*Hayden pulls Bryce away and turns towards Chris.*

Hayden: Give us a moment, won't you?

Chris: Of course.

*Hayden turns back to Bryce and begins discussing with the others.*

Hayden: I don't think it would be wise to fight this guy, Bryce.

Bryce: Oh really? How'd you come to that unique conclusion?

Hayden: Yeah yeah, I know. But seriously. Fighting this guy could be really bad for us.

Andrew: Not to mention we saw how extreme these fights get.

Hayden: Andrew's right. You could die. And even if you don't you'd be extremely weak afterwards. We can't have that right now.

Bryce: Yeah, I know. But I don't know if I can just refuse the fight.

Hayden: You're gonna have to. We still don't know if these people are actually on our side. Having you down for the count only makes us more vulnerable.

Bryce: Yeah, but what if me refusing makes these people turn on us?

Hayden: Then we'll all be able to fight them.

Ozzy: I don't know think we'd win that. We already saw how powerful Mother and Chester's stands were.

Isaiah: Ozzy is right. If it goes either of those ways, we can't fight our way through everyone here.

Bryce: So then what the hell am I supposed to do?

*Hayden sighs in disappointment before looking at Bryce.*

Hayden: I guess you're just gonna have to fight. Hopefully nothing will happen afterwards and we'll be fine.

Ozzy: Even if we are fine, I don't know if Bryce is ready to fight this guy. Y'all heard what he said. He knows about Bryce's stand abilities.

Hayden: We can't be certain he knows all of the abilities. Even Bryce seems to not fully understand all of them yet.

Bryce: Ozzy is right though. He said I'm the perfect opponent for him. Like he's already got something planned for me.

Hayden: You've just gotta stay up and learn his ability. If you can do that, you'll even the playing field.

Bryce: Guess that's really all I can do.

*Bryce walks past the group and stands in front of Chris firmly with false confidence.*

Bryce: Alright. I accept the challenge.

Chris: Hmmm. Excellent.

*Chris walks backwards to the other side of the fight arena as Renae walks into the center.*

Renae: Alright everyone! We've got a second fight for the day. Old versus new. Let's see who comes out on top!

*Renae holds her hand up above her head.*
