If the second target is no longer on the battlefield, or if the second target is no longer a creature, player, or planeswalker when the damage would be redirected, the damage is dealt to the first target as if this spell was not cast.

If the first target is no longer on the battlefield, then the damage will not be dealt at all, so it can’t be redirected by this ability.
