Lydia had made it to the street by navigating blindly through the house, trying doors and trying hallways. Finally, when she saw the outside, she tossed herself through a window and into a pile of dead leaves.
Shaking off the minor annoyances, she sprinted as fast as her legs could carry her. But as she ran, she slowed bit by bit to look at her surroundings.
Everything was out of proportion, warped, discolored, and so insane that she seriously questioned her own sanity just by looking at it. But her fears were elevated quickly when she heard him calling for her.
"Hey! Wait up, babes! You're gonna get-…"
But she didn't have the chance to hear what he was going to say, because she tripped over a manhole cover and fell straight into the hole in the street. Again, darkness surrounded her.
BJ looked at the hole she had fallen through, knowing full well that she wasn't sitting in junk at the bottom of the tunnel. A sign next to the hole locked his suspicions in, as it read, "Caution: Manhole to Saturn. Danger of Sandworms".
Though he hated sandworms with everything in him, the idea of them getting their kicks out of the chick instead of him was hated even more. So buckling up and strapping down, Beetlejuice dived straight into the hole and prayed she hadn't already been eaten.
There was sand everywhere. Strange red arcs stuck up out of the endless desert. Lydia turned around and around, but she couldn't see anything, anywhere. Just miles and miles of endless yellow sand.
But was that something moving, off in the distance? She couldn't tell. But it had alternating light and dark purple bands on it…and it moved like a sideways snake, coming up out of the sand at intervals, only to dive back down as it moved along.
Lydia tried to focus. It certainly didn't look like something she'd want to meet. However, she didn't have much say, for the next instant, something huge and purple shoved its head out of the dune in front of her and threw waves of sand down upon her.
As she fought to look up, the ugly thing reared its head and opened its mouth, from which a second head protruded and unveiled its foul, sharp teeth. The creature seemed to grin and shot its heads toward her.
Lydia braced herself for the impact. But just as it was about to devour her, she head a deafening roar and opened her eyes to see a figure grab hold of the monster's head and throw it sideways.
The person wrestling with the worm was Beetlejuice.
He flew down to her and yelled over the din. "Grab on, Lyds! We gotta fly!"
She asked no questions. Lydia grabbed his hand and he pulled her upward into the air. As the creature below stretched out its neck to catch them, Lydia spotted a black circle in the sky. Beetlejuice was making straight for it.
"C'mon, we can make it!" he shouted into the wind.
The monster reared back, ready to strike a final blow, and the hole seemed so far away…
But just as the creature's head shot forward to eat them both, Beetlejuice and Lydia threw themselves into the hole. They shot up, coming out of the manhole in a spray of sand, cart-wheeling into the night sky.
