Call and Vriess pilot the Betty out of the Auriga's airlock while Ripley 8 and the Newborn hold onto the outside of the ship. The Auriga crashes into snow-covered mountains. A wave of fire chases the Betty. Johner sees Ripley holding on but refuses to open the hatch because of the Newborn. The shockwave from the Auriga's destruction shakes the Betty. Ripley 8 is thrown off, but she grabs hold of one of the Newborn's tentacles. Call pushes Johner aside, opening the hatch. The Newborn heads straight toward it, but Call comes out with a Grenade Launcher, blasting it. It merely wounds the creature so Call fires again but misses. Ripley 8 climbs inside. Call seals the hatch as the Newborn rams into it. She takes over piloting beside Vriess as the Betty nears the wooded ground below. Johner informs the others the Newborn is behind the thrusters, avoiding debris. Call turns the engines on, burning the creature.
The Betty crash lands. Call checks to see if the Newborn is dead. Its flesh is black in spots, but in other places, new pink flesh is visible. It lunges at her, shooting its tongue out. Call dodges it, barely avoiding it at the last second. The Newborn runs away. Call grabs the Grenade Launcher to go after it, but Ripley 8 convinces Call that she should go instead.
Ripley hunts the Newborn by following its tracks in the snow. She races through the trees, reaching a cliff face where she sees a huge city in the distance. In the darkness, the Newborn rises in front of her. It hits her with its tentacles. Ripley manages to get a shot off, but the creature is only stunned. It knocks the futile weapon away.
Call comes to the rescue in the Harvester, ramming it into the Alien and knocking it down. The Newborn gets back up only to be hit by the Harvester again. Its tentacles shoot out, hitting Ripley 8 off the cliff. She manages to grab hold with her nails digging into the edge. She starts to crawl back up. The Newborn throws the Harvester off it, but the vehicle charges back at top speed, crashing into the creature. The Harvester is thrown upside down from the collision.
Ripley 8 reaches the top of the cliff, racing for the Grenade Launcher. The Newborn flies at her, but she fires and fires, knocking it back until the gun runs out of ammo. Ripley 8 screams and lunges into the beast, sending them into the Harvester. Call throws a lever activating the machine's blades. They shred the Newborn. Ripley gets free from the Alien's grasp. She helps Call escape from the Harvester as acidic blood rains down. The vehicle explodes. Call, Ripley, Vriess, Christie, and Johner gather around the fire, relaxing. They decide to leave before troopers arrive.
Some of this ending appears to have been filmed, because there were early test screening reports about the Harvester.
The extended cut on the Quadrilogy ends with the Betty landing in France near the Eiffel Tower.
