During battle between Beranabus' group and Lord Loss', it is revealed that Bill-E must be killed to prevent the opening of the tunnel, since he unwittingly sacrificed Loch to open the tunnel.

The spirit of Bec appears and tells Beranabus that sealing the tunnel will not remove the demons like it did last time. Enlisting the help of the Disciples, Grubbs, Kernel, and Beranabus set out to reseal the tunnel and remove the Demonata from Earth at the same time.Īfter arriving at the tunnel, Kernel's eyes are gouged out by Spine, a familiar of lord loss and Grubbs sees the heads of all his loved ones held by demons, barring Bill-E.
