picks Derek up off the ground as Derek begins to regain consciousness.)
AUSTIN: You done, yet?
DEREK (scratchy voice): I'm not done until your dead. It's my only choice. I've got to be the bad guy.
AUSTIN (looking Derek straight in the eye): Listen up, bro. Like I've said before, I'm the only bad boy in this town.

(Austin throws Derek into the Mozzarella John's building. The entire building crumbles apart from the collision.)
PETE (running toward the crumbling building): Brooklyn!
(Pete jumps on top of Brooklyn to save her.)
AUSTIN: Oh, no! What have I done?

(Austin runs toward the rubble. He begins searching through it frantically.) 
AUSTIN: Oh no! Oh no! Oh no...

(Austin hears some rubble moving around. He looks over to see Pete slowly stand up, lifting Brooklyn with him. Police are pulling on the scene in the distance.)
AUSTIN: Brooklyn! Pete! You're alive!
BROOKLYN: Thanks to Pete, here. He saved me.
PETE (smiling): No, not really. (To Austin) Austin, I owe you an apology.  
This whole time I thought you were the bad guy.
AUSTIN: It's cool, bro. I'm used to people thinking I'm a bad person. (Laughing) Plus, it just proves that even the smartest people are wrong sometimes.
PETE (frowning): Yes, I suppose. But where is Derek? Technically the battle isn't over until one of you is dead...
AUSTIN: Well, I doubt that he survived that.

(The three look over at the place where police have found Derek. One checks his pulse and shakes his head at them.)
PETE: Well, Austin, you did it. (Bends over and picks up the Dark Pearl.)

PETE (handing the Pearl to Austin): Well, you're now the owner of the Dark Pearl. Do with it as you wish.

(Austin has a flashback.)

AUSTIN: I roll solo, fool! I don't need anybody!

JOSH: You said it yourself. You don't need anybody else.

AUSTIN (to himself): Here I hold the ultimate power to do anything I wish.
PETE: You do.
AUSTIN (to Pete): But I don't want ultimate power. I was wrong before. I do need my friends.
PETE: You're right.
AUSTIN: I don't want to roll solo. What fun is life if you have no one to be in it?
PETE: No fun at all, my boy, no fun at all.
AUSTIN: Pete, I want to set them all free.
PETE: I was hoping you'd say that.
AUSTIN: So how do I do it?
PETE: Close your eyes, Austin.
(Austin closes his eyes.)
PETE: Now clear your mind of everything and everyone.
(Austin clears his mind.)
PETE: Now concentrate on freeing your friends and only on freeing them.
(Austin concentrates. He begins to shake.)
BROOKLYN: Is he okay?
PETE: Shhh. It's working.

(The Dark Pearl begins to glow. Slowly Josh is released from the Pearl, then Cole. They look at each other surprised. Then Kara is released, followed by Jaguar. The four look at Austin, smiling. Austin is still concentrating. Zack comes out next, followed by another person who looks almost exactly like Kara. Austin grows tired and opens his eyes. The Pearl immediately stops glowing and Austin looks at the others.)
AUSTIN: Zack!
ZACK: Austin! (The two hug each other.)
(Everyone is hugging. Kara looks at the mysterious person who came out after Zack.)
KARA: Tyler?
TYLER: Kara? Is that you?
KARA: Yes, it's me.
(The two hug each other tightly.)
KARA: Tyler, I thought you were dead.
TYLER: I did, too. But when the people killed Mom and Dad, they decided to capture me in this Pearl to harness my powers. Unfortunately, they lost it and it got shipped to some museum or something. And I've been stuck in there ever since. 
KARA: Oh wow, brother. I'm so glad you're alive!
TYLER: Me too.

(Pete looks at Brooklyn and pulls a box out of his jacket.)
PETE: Brooklyn.
BROOKLYN: Yes, Pete?
PETE (getting on one knee): I know I'm not the most desirable person on the planet, but I do love you. I have since I met you. I can't promise you brawns, but I can promise you unconditional love. Will you marry me?
BROOKLYN: Wow, Pete, this is unexpected. (Starts crying) But yes, I will marry you.

(Pete rises up and hugs Brooklyn.)
PETE: Hey everyone, we're getting
