When the alarms blare and chaos erupts, Hazard and his team quickly find themselves outmatched. As a desperate last resort, Hazard eyes the container holding the vanadium isotope. Susie warns him about its instability, but Hazard takes the risk. With no other options, Susie injects him with the substance.

This powers up Hazard, giving him more strength as he battles off the remaining foes. With the fight under control, the trio makes their escape. Graffiti that spells "Phreaks" can be seen in the background as well.
