Shortly afterwards, twenty two socs arrive and Darry steps forward to be the first fighter. As a challenge, Paul Holden steps forward as well. Darry is amazed to see his high school friend and football teammate challenge him. As they challenge each other, Dally joins the fight and this causes the fight to become stronger with other members joining. After such a struggle, the greasers finally win.
Ponyboy and Dally rush to the hospital to take a look at Johnny’s condition. Due to them speeding, a police officer stops their car. Ponyboy fakes an injury which in turn, causes the officer to escort them to the hospital. When they finally reach the hospital, they unfortunately find Johnny dying. He tells Ponyboy to ‘stay gold’ before he dies.
Ponyboy wanders around the hospital for several hours. A man asks him whether he is okay and offers to give him a ride. When he reaches his home, he tells everyone that Johnny is dead and that Dally has run away. Shortly afterwards, they receive a call from Dally with a message that he has just robbed a grocery store and has police officers chasing him. The greasers go outside to assist him and Dally pulls out his unloaded gun which causes the police to shoot him. Dally dies and Ponyboy thinks that he had done this on purpose. Feeling confused and overwhelmed, he gets a concussion and passes out. After three days, Ponyboy finally wakes up with Darry sitting beside him.

God sent in fiery or copper-colored serpents to punish them. They went to Moses and confessed after a few of the people were bitten and died. They admitted to complaining about God and themselves.
They requested Moses to pray to God to have the snakes removed from the camp. Instead, God instructed Moses to create a bronze serpent, mount it on a pole, and erect it in the center of the camp.
Additionally, he instructed Moses to inform the populace that anyone bitten should point their gaze toward the centre of the camp in order to see the brass serpent. If they did this, they would live.
The bronze snake symbolizes Christ's deliverance from sin. The narrative of the bronze snake in Numbers 21, which describes the Israelites' lack of faith, punishment, and recovery, does not stand alone in biblical history. Jesus made a reference to this narrative.
Thus, God sent in fiery or copper-colored serpents to punish them.
