Emily passes back through a portal and wakes up surrounded by her friends and family. The shadows have disappeared, and the fighting has stopped. The curse that kept characters like Leon, an anthropomorphic fox, relegated to their animal forms has been lifted. The elves ask Emily to lead the Guardian Council, but she refuses. Nevertheless, she does want to return to Alledia to help Cielis return to the ground. Navin informs her that they are out of fuel and that the vehicles are in bad shape, so Emily asks Cora and Cala to help with the dangerous journey. They use the power of the stone to initiate a hyperjump.

Back in Cielis, Ronin asks Vigo and Trellis to stand aside and let the students land the city. She does not want any excuse to reestablish the old regime. Luger, an older elf who believed he could control his giant form, distrusts the students’ ability to control their powers, but Trellis agrees to let the students take the lead. Most of the students transform into their giant animal forms successfully, though West struggles.
