At the Severnaya control center in Russia, Masha is along with a russian programmer friend Sergey Grishenko. Philip’s team reached Severnaya and they are doing a SilverEye test fire. SilverEye is a Soviet-era satellite armed with a nuclear electromagnetic pulse space-based weapon. Once they have the firing key, the Collector manipulates the crew while Odalia kills anyone except Sergey, while he was out drinking a hot tea. After setting the target for Severnaya, the team leaves the center with the firing key. Masha was hidden to Philip and, after that, notice that anyone is killed, but then she notice that the SilverEye is firing Severnaya creating an electromagnetic pulse that destroys the whole electric systems, luckly she manage to escape and returns to the USA. Vee was worried about Masha at Severnaya, so Hunter propose to go to the police to talk about the attack. The inspector says that the attack was done by a criminal organization named “Janus” led by Markus Trevelyan, in which Philip collabs with him. There are some Janus affilates: Michael Weston, Andrzej Dobkowski, Tom Robinson and Dimitri Baskov. So he send to Moscow in order to find Janus and his affilates and destroy the SilverEye. Luz and Camilla are going to Michael, Amity and Vee are going to Andrzej, Hunter and Gus are going to Tom and Masha and Willow are going to Dimitri. After some little fights, the affliates arrange a meeting with Janus at a cemetery. While exploring, Luz and Hunter find Philip, Amity and Willow find Odalia while Camilla, Masha and Gus find the Collector. Vee finds Trevelyan, but it turns out to be the Greater Basilisk. He’s the leader of Janus and he said that he has the firing key and there’s another SilverEye satellite in an unknown location. The affliates knock them out and wake up on their own traps including Eda and Raine captured by Philip: Luz, Eda and Vee are in the stolen helicopter that is about to explode by some missles, Hunter, Willow and Raine are tied to fireworks before being launched, Amity and Gus are tied up in electric chairs while Camilla and Masha are tied up on logs to be killed by poison gas. The owl team escapes to their traps but Janus captures the team but they manage to fight. Vee and Luz are escaped except for the rest of the team. After a chase between a tank, drove by Vee and Luz, and a car, drove by the Janus team, troughout the streets of Moscow, the evil gang reaches their secret train. Vee and Luz stopped the train with their tank and killed the Janus affliates. Unfortunately, Janus escapes with their helicopter and triggered a self destruct sequence. Masha uses a computer to spike Sergey in order to find their secret base, which is in the Boiling Isles, before getting out of the train. Thanks to an FBI agent, they’ve got a plane to reach the secret base except Eda and Raine. Before departing, they met Alador and Darius to wish good luck to the team. After the take-off, they reached the jungle but they couldn’t find the antenna, until they’ve shot down by a missile from a lake, but after an emergency landing they manage to survive. They soon uncover their secret base beneath the lake, concealing a satellite dish, and proceed to infiltrate in. Once entered, after a fight, the team is captured, and they learned from the basilisk that he intends to use SilverEye to devestate the boiling isles, while Masha and Amity are hacking into the satellite and reprograms it to initiate atmospheric re-entry and thus destroy itself. When Sergey loses his patience trying to undo her programming, Luz uses the moment to trigger a grenade concealed in a pen, a prototype created by Alador and stolen by the basilisk, to allow the Owl team to escape. To prevent Sergey from regaining control of the satellite, Vee sabotages the dish's antenna by jamming its gears. The basilisk tries to intercept him, and the ensuing fight between the two culminates in the basilisk being dangled below the antenna. Vee defeats the Greater Basilisk and the SilverEye is destroyed. The team rescue Vee in a commandeered helicopter, moments before the antenna malfunctions and explodes, destroying the base and killing its personnel, with the basilisk killed by falling debris and Sergey killed by ruptured liquid nitrogen canisters, while Philip, Odalia and the Collector escape to the base.
