The quartet wakes upwards in aught gravity and Søren pushes upwardly the gravity lever. They put on their hero suits and prepare to drive their spaceship to planet Earth where the sea monster is deep in the bounding main. The quartet then puts on their diving suits and they fight the ocean monster they seek. The green slime that bursts out of the sea monster's defeat transmits to the ending where the triumphant quartet returns to the send with Søren and Claus who's had their leg and arm injured and the ship goes to the surface.
