There are more explosions accompanied by the beeps. Kelly is outside and sees an old Sputnik satellite which is beeping and then sees a space creature clinging to it. The walnut object appears and reunites with the space creature and they fly off in a triangular meteor.

The group of four are climbing a gigantic carved statue of a face found on Mars. Fisher steps through an eye socket and finds himself in a lush green city with breathable air and sees giant Martians. A fleet of spaceships attack and destroy the city. The giants have a meeting and point to a space map - there is a planet between Mars and Jupiter. The giants launch a missile to destroy this planet. Fisher suddenly can't breathe properly and then he is found on the surface of modern day Mars. On their way through space they stop in the asteroid belt - the remnants of a destroyed planet.
