In the basement office of a shadow intelligence agency, the employees are alerted by the vampire's arrival, identifying him as their operative, Night Terror. Night Terror kills the agency security officers, but Ghost Rider arrives and attacks him. The agency employees trigger the office's self-destruct, but Night Terror evades Ghost Rider by becoming mist and begins killing the employees. Ghost Rider spears Night Terror to the wall and rides the sole survivor of his onslaught out of the building seconds before it explodes.
