When the Checkmaters reunite with each other, Sagitarrius & Draco watch from afar & stated that they are together just as Berwyn planned it to be.
#Ground Control to Major Derek!: The Checkmaters have managed to unite each attribute together, & they are given the blessing as the six new warriors. Tar-Q & Berwyn are still causing chaos over Middle Earth though, & now they are attacking Earth with the help of the hybrid warriors (Scylla, Mesudaeas, Durga, Tryaclai, Sagitarrius, & Draco) leading their warrior armies. The Checkmaters must figure out how to save both worlds. Help is on the way though, thanks to Jack. Ching Lan, Bobby Garrett, Kenny O'Chance, Johnny Samoa, & Charles Von Hamlet lead every Chess Combat player of the world when they have decided to give assistance.

Jack contacts the Checkmaters to alert them that Berwyn is in the real world. Aragorn senses Arwen in trouble when Berwyn sends his minions to find the Jewel of Infinity, so the Checkmaters head back to take on Berwyn.
#The One Hit Wonders: Arwen puts up an energy shield around Washington powered by the Jewel of Infinity to hold off Berwyn & his troops. Meanwhile the Checkmaters return & join in the battle to protect all of Earth & defeat Berwyn before he can join the two jewels together. Failure means that both worlds will be destroyed. Jessie, Juliet, & Marty protect the city via sea, where the Bishop/Knight hybrid Scylla has been creating tsunamis. The singing of Jessie & Juliet gets Washington's fans to come out & cheer. Can Marty, Jessie, & Juliet defeat Scylla?
#There's Mud in Your Eye: The battle against Berwyn's troops continues as Jenny & Bobby team-up to take on the Rook/Queen hybrid warrior called Tryaclai, who has been powered up by Berwyn's negative energy. At first the two seem to be overpowered, but the adaption of each other's battle styles may be what's needed to help them realize how to work as a team again, especially when Berwyn decides to crash the party. Sheik & Artie also appear trying to get strategies from their sister Nancy. With help from Nancy & her Ravenon, Tree Beard, Bark Ram, & Polyphemus defeat Tryaclai by getting rid of the Negative Energy that Berwyn placed on her. At the end, Jenny asks Bobby out on a date.

Little does she know the one she trained, Christopher, will also get involved in the battle. Derek is informed that Mesudaeas, Sagitarrius, & Draco are also approaching the city following Scylla & Tryaclai's defeat. When it appears these two are being overpowered, Charles arrives. The three soon realize all that Durga is doing is being controlled by her worry for her sister Tryaclai. Lauren starts doubting herself but Christopher helps her. Gollum defeats Durga & Durga is reunited with Tryaclai as both of them return to Middle Earth.
#Showdown in Washington: The return of Berwyn's Bishop/Knight hybrid servant Mesudaeas has brought new troubles for Kenny & Sean.

Finally, Mesudaeas is defeated. Unfortunately for Johnny, he doesn't get any credit at all.
#The Good, the Bad, & the Mighty: Derek & Robin stand as the only defenses against Sagitarrius & Draco. As Derek recalls his past battle with them, he realizes they don't have a chance without help. Jenny, Bobby, Marty, Charles, Johnny, & Kenny also get involved in the battle due to a transmission sent by Tar-Q posing as Frodo. Elsewhere, Lauren stands ready to help her grandfather, who appears to have fully become himself again. She takes him to where Jack & Arwen are, only to find that she has been tricked! He unleashes Berwyn to take the Jewel of Infinity but Sean, suspecting that Tar-Q's transmission was a trap, turns up with Gandalf & Tom to protect Arwen. When Jack gets captured, Ching-Lan frees him & joins the city's last line of defense by unleashing Agni. While Aragorn is stuck battling the last of Berwyn's servants, Arwen is in great distress.
#The Final Combat: Arwen is calling to Aragorn to tell him that she needs help, while the top ranked Checkmaters must defeat Sagitarrius & Draco. Berwyn's negative energy is proving to be too much for Arwen & Agni. With Sagitarrius defeated, the others deal with Draco as Derek & Aragorn head over to where Berwyn is. When Aragorn arrives, he fights Berwyn. With help from Johnny, Robin & Eowyn destroys Draco. Arwen asks Aragorn to attack her so she can give him the Jewel of Infinity. He does so, & Arwen disappears. Aragorn becomes the King of Infinity. Aragorn then continues his fight with Berwyn. In an epic battle, the two seem evenly matched. However, Tar-Q sends out his Spartans to assist Berwyn.
#Game Over: As Tar-Q releases Spartans, Berwyn is slowly recovering. All seems hopeless until the Checkmaters send their warriors to aid a wounded Aragorn. They destroy the Spartans as Berwyn absorbs the Spartans' energies. With the last of his power, Aragorn fires a brilliant burst of light that Berwyn attempts to absorb. The warriors combine their power with Aragorn's & it proves too much for Berwyn, who overloads, unable to control the power & finally explodes, destroying Berwyn in the process. The Jewel of Silence then merges with Aragorn. Now the time has come, & unfortunately all great things must eventually come to an end. After an emotional goodbye, a parting so emotional it brings tears to everyone's face, the Checkmaters & the warriors part ways as a portal opens, & the Checkmaters throw their warriors one last time. The Checkmaters' warriors, along with the rest of the warriors on Earth enter the portal & return to Middle Earth. Aragorn travels to the center of Middle Earth with the soul of Arwen & restores the Jewel of Silence & Jewel of Infinity. Harmony is restored in Middle World, & the six worlds merge into one peaceful sanctuary. After Derek has a talk with a vision of a distant old friend, he meets up with Robin in the park & they pose in front of the camera before heading out on a date.
