Moments after they got beamed into the morgue, they saw horror. Survivors all dead after having their heads sliced clean off. The morgue itself had dead bodies sealed in hovering cryo pods to prevent them from decaying, plus it's freezing in the morgue. But they couldn't go any further due to a cryo demon that appeared from a portal from Hell. The demon looked like a spiky golem made of ice. It used its giant hammer made of ice and tried to smash everyone in sight.

Isaac: I don't have time for this bullshit!

Isaac shot the demon, breaking off bits of its ice armor. The ice demon got pissed off and kicked Pam across the room. Kevin got pissed and shot the ice demon in the eye, hurting it badly. Then he took out a plasma grenade and tossed towards the demon's head, blowing it up to bits. The ice demon completely shattered after it died. Kevin ran over to help up Pam and make sure she's okay.

Pam: Nice work there, Kevin. Thanks.

Kevin: Don't thank me just yet. We still have to get outta here and find Beth, let's get moving to the corridor.

Isaac: Where does the morgue end?

Kevin: There's a church connected to this building, the only way to reach it would be the elevator. So yeah, we're pretty much in the basement of the church.

With the ice demon dead everyone kept moving through the morgue. It was a clear path for them, there were no demons in sight, just a few dead survivors and blinking lights. They could see the elevator up ahead and were about to reach it.

But suddenly they saw the ceiling getting ripped open, showing a large hole to the next floor. And it wasn't just the first floor, all six of the floors of the building were ripped open, showing a hole to the roof. Isaac knew right away that this was done with telekinesis.

Isaac: Everybody move! Now!!

They all tried to run but it was too late. All of them were picked up by telekinesis and were carried through all the floors and to the roof. The culprit was Dana herself. She held them in midair but didn't kill them or threw them off the roof. Just kept them in air, sitting down on the roof while calmly reading a book. Nobody could do anything do to them being restrained.

Dana: You guys have no idea how truly annoying you are. It should've been impossible for you to survive the dangers of space. But I'm not complaining, heh heh heh! It's always satisfying to lure rats to the mouse trap, heh heh!

Isaac: Why are you doing this? Why do you want to kill me so much?

Dana: You're a dangerous threat to my goals, mein Freund. And the Hell Lords are afraid of you, so that makes it my business. They won't leave you alone because they're afraid you'll destroy their Death Orb. You did create it after all.

Isaac: I created that thing? What are you talking about?

Dana: Well, that's why I brought you here. So that you can make more Death Orbs for me. And then I will be able to spread Succoria's glorious blessings back on earth, hehehehe! Exciting, ja, heh heh heh heh!

Kevin: You are out of your fucking mind. Just let us save Isaac and let us go!

Dana: Nein, heh heh heh! This is where your journey ends.

Dana turned another page in her book. Then she tossed everyone to the nearby rooftop using their telekinesis. They were now on top of a glass rooftop of a luxurious hotel. Pam immediately got up to shoot her, but Dana came prepared after making metal walls float around her to block the shots.

Dana: I gave you a choice to be useful, Isaac! Now you've made this much easier for me!

That's when a military gunship revealed itself flying above Isaac and the others after uncloaking an invisible force field. The gunship was controlled by one of the Chosen members and they opened fire with the ship's laser machine guns. Isaac quickly shot the glass rooftop, and everyone fell through, landing inside the hotel and away from the gunship. Isaac managed to save everyone in just mere moments.
