Will They Survive?

Curt is tempted to cross a ravine by riding his dirt bike, but when he does that, he hits a force-field and falls until he passed away. Dana and Holden drive away in disbelief.

Holden suggests they try to find another exit, but Dana realizes that the sequence of events leading up to their deaths is planned, so there is no escape.

A zombie executes Holden, and it makes them crash into the lake. Dana swims to the surface.

Japan fails with their sacrifice as a group of children can chant a prayer to turn the ghost into a harmless frog.

It’s all left for America now. Committee members celebrate their victory, not knowing that Marty has survived.

The Director calls to inform them that the situation needs to be taken care of immediately.

What Kind of Trouble Awaits Them?

Marty arrives just in time to rescue Dana from being assassinated by a walking zombie. He takes her to a bunker that leads down into below floor.

Dana and Marty enter a secret place and descend into the underground.

After a while, they move horizontally and look around to see how many insane creatures are held captive in fancy glass cages.

Dana then realizes that this whole time, they chose the way of their demise.

When they reach the third level, the Committee plans to execute them all at once, starting with Marty, because that would be the right order to do it, according to the rules.

Marty and Dana release every single horrifying monster that is in their group and cause a massive bloodbath.

The two of them make their way to a temple. The Director shows up to explain the situation.

The director states that the Ancient Ones will not attack the Earth if Marty is gone.

Dana holds a gun to Marty because she thinks that one demise is better than the destruction of the planet.
