*The scene opens with the crowd standing in the now empty arena. Minutes have passed and neither fighter has returned.*

Andrew: Where are they? It's like they're just fully gone.

Hayden: Indeed. This doesn't seem like Bryce's prism. It looked like Chris pulled Bryce into his stand.

Isaiah: But how is that possible? How can someone be pulled inside of a stand?

Hayden: I'm not sure. But considering Chris' stand released all that black fog, it must've come from somewhere right?

Ozzy: I don't know, Hayden. Bryce's stand is able to produce its own light.

Hayden: You're right, but it drains his own energy. The fog didn't seem to drain Chris' stamina or energy at all. Meaning it isn't really his ability.

Andrew: So you think Chris' stand is like some kind of vessel for something else?

Hayden: I don't know if I'd say that, but it is possible.

*The group looks at the arena and notices Black Hole Sun is still standing alone but barely visible.*

Ozzy: Wait a minute. The stand is still in the arena? I thought it disappeared after Bryce was grabbed.

Andrew: Me too. Has it been there the whole time? It couldn't have been right?

Hayden: I don't know. This stand is pretty similar to Bryce's. Perhaps it has its own cloaking ability of some kind?

Isaiah: If that's the case, then it isn't very good.

*Black Hole Sun becomes more visible and the group realizes it's a light source making it visible from somewhere else.*

Hayden: Where the hell is the light coming from? None of the windows are angled at the stand right now.

*The scene cuts back to Bryce inside of Black Hole Sun, just after he activates the laser finger flashlight. A shadow creature now staring him in the face.*

Chris: Like I said. The residents here don't like the light.

*Bryce jumps backwards in shock at the sudden appearance of the strange creature.*

Bryce: What the fuck?!!!

*The creature growls and opens its mouth to reveal an empty void that seemingly goes on forever.*

Bryce: E.L.O!

*E.L.O points the laser at the creature's month and prepares to fire the shot directly into it.*

Chris: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

*Bryce disregards Chris and E.L.O hits the creature right in the middle of its gaping maw. He watches as the creature closes its mouth and seemingly swallows the light.*

Bryce: What?

*The creature laughs before rapidly growing in size. As Bryce watches he begins backing up slowly.*

Chris: I must admit. I wasn't telling the whole truth. The reason they don't like the light isn't because they are afraid of it. It's because they don't like any light, their purpose is to drown out all light.

Bryce: What the hell are these things?

Chris: To be honest with you, I have no actual idea. All I know is they were here when I first got my stand. But I don't think my stand is responsible for their existence.

Bryce: What? So these things were already around before you? Is that what you're saying?

Chris: Pretty much. I'm sure you've felt this before. You know how when you were a kid, you would feel a presence behind you in the dark?
