"Now what?" Damien asked.

The group stared at the snow-covered entrance. They, minus Dark, were shocked to see that. They have no idea that it was Dark who caused the snow-in. However, Dark made sure that it was the storm that caused the snow-in, so no one can suspect a thing. They couldn't dig their way out; the snow was too thick. Stafford tries to contact Rusten with the walkie-talkie, but to no avail. Aggie can't teleport everyone because they might know her secret, except for Thomas and Rousseau plus the scientist in the room. Aggie and the others agree to let them know for a while before Aggie could use a Mentus spell on them. Dark can't teleport everyone either because the weather out there was too dangerous.

"There's no way we can dig ourselves out of here." Lex said, looking at the snow-covered tunnel.

"Mr. Quinn isn't responding." Stafford added as he put down the walkie-talkie.

"That's because I took them back to your ship. And before you ask, the storm was too deadly, and they could've died." Dark explains dully.

"Can't you contact S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Stone questioned.

Dark shrugs. "I can't get a signal here." She explained. "We have to figure a way out on our own."

As the adults talked with each other, the kids were with the Xenomorphs. Woodland was curious about Val's pack members. He and the sense something great within them, like they were special like Val. However, Val has more secrets than anyone else. The kids watched as the adults were discussing a way out. Dark has some suggestions that include dynamites or any types of explosive.

"We need to get out of here, before we turn on each other." Damien said, almost scared.

The girls looked at Damien with a confused look. "What are you talking about?" Gem asked.

"I have my reasons." Damien mumbles.

Quinn was about to speak when she remembered that Damien watched too many movies. She sighs and looks at him. "You think that they'll end up like those people in the movies that you watched."

"...Maybe...I did get the booby-traps right." Damien added.

"He's not wrong." Kendall agreed with him.

As the kids talked, Val was sitting on Woodland's back as she watched them talk. She wanted to open her portal to get them out, but she was low on energy and needed time to recover before opening a portal, and she can't expose her powers because she got a feeling that Weyland might have plans for her if he finds out. But she wasn't sure. Then suddenly, Val felt something, something...familiar. She got off Woodland, who looked at her, as she made her way to the pyramid. She went to an open space area as she senses the presence underground. It wasn't threatening, it was...curious. Suddenly, the world around her turned black and the only presence was her and her aura showing. She felt the similar aura signature. And Val smiles at this.

"Can you help us get out?" She asked politely.

With that said, the world around her returns and Val slowly backs away when the ground beneath her starts to shake. The others felt it too and were surprised by this, minus Dark and Kendall. They looked around on what's going on when they noticed the area where Val was standing by, and saw the ground started to crack. Dark quickly goes over to Val and pulls her away from the scene as the ground erupts to reveal an African Graboid!

"What the hell?!" Verheiden yelled in shock.

The African Graboid lets out a roar before others come, creating a big hole in the process, before they sink back down. The gang quickly went over the hole and saw how big it was due to the Graboids that made it. They were both amazed and shocked by this. Dark wasn't surprised, she knew Val could sense there were Graboids here. She knew it too but didn't say because she didn't feel like it...typical Dark.
