Flashback…
"So what did you want to tell me, Johnny?" Dally asked when both Johnny and him were alone in front of the ladder.
"For one, try being a hero…" Johnny said making Dally look at him strangely.
o-o-o
Both Two-Bit and him were together in a room soon after.
"Two-Bit…" Dally started.
"Yeah?"
"You can stop the thing for two seconds if you use that new power of yours right?"
"Yeah…"
"Two seconds is long enough to save a life."
o-o-o
Steve, Tim, Curly, and Angela were sitting at a table together. All of their faces were serious.
"It looks like Ponyboy is in danger, so we have to be ready to fight right away." Tim said after Dally told them about what he has planned.
o-o-o
The sound of impact came from Dally who had flung himself in front of the alien.
"Is that all you got?" He asked it. "Two-Bit!"
"Right…Impedimenta!" Two-Bit yelled. A flash of light consumed the monster and when the light subsided, it was frozen.
Dally looked at Ponyboy who was looking at him in astonishment.
"It can't be…" He muttered loud enough to be heard by everyone. But Dally didn't reply. Instead he pushed Pony back and he got out of the way too.
"Pony, are you alright?" Soda asked.
"No time to talk now!" Darry said. All of the greasers got into a fighting stance. Two-Bit dropped the spell and dropped to his knees. It took a lot out of him to hold the spell for two seconds.
Dally was the first to move by shooting some of the bullets at the alien from his heater. During that, Tim charged with his switch-blade, Darry right behind. The both took one of the alien's arms in attempt to block the punched for a short moment. That was when Curly stabbed his switch-blade into the gut. Blood gushed out of the wound as he pulled the blade out. The alien, Steve, flung off Darry and Tim in one motion, sending them crashing into the wall. They gasped in pain. It ran to them and was about to finish the two off when Angela threw an empty beer bottle at it, getting its attention. It ran towards Angela and punched her making blood come out of her mouth as she was flung across the room. Curly growled as he came up from behind it and stabbed repeatedly. Dally shot more bullets before putting the heater away and taking out his blade. He then proceeds in stabbing the alien with Curly until it faded away.
"Did we defeat it?" Johnny asked. Darry went to the passed out Two-Bit and sighed in relief.
"He just wore himself out. He just needs sleep." Darry said. "I wish there was a safe place to rest."
Everyone was silent until Soda spoke up.
"I'll show you the way." He said.
"What?" Johnny had to ask. Everyone was confused.
"Johnny, you remember the iron door on the second floor?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go there."
Everyone nodded.
"Thank you…Dally…" Ponyboy suddenly said.
"You should practice your smiles a little more. You can't say that with that face."
