Later, Calypso met Satan who is a big fan a demolition derbies. Satan noticed Calypso's ability to grant wishes. He offered Calypso an opportunity to collect the souls of the world's most skilled drivers. In return, Satan would return Calypso to Earth. Desperate to leave Hell, Calypso accepted the offer.
