OTHERWORLD:

Castor pulls Lunar into a hallway closet to avoid the fire for the time being. Outside the palace, Dusk tries to rush in to save his sister and best friend, but Pollux grabs him, telling him to use his head and that nothing good will come out of him going in. He reminds him that Castor has water powers, and the Otherworldly is sure that they will figure something out. Back in the closet, Lunar and Castor weigh their chances. Lunar figures out what her powers are, as she has only used her magic recently but not really her powers. She finds that she has telekinesis in her bad form and disarming in her good form. She motivates Castor to try getting water from underground using his powers, but he gets too excited and touches the hot door to open it, burning his hands. Lunar bandages his hands, scolding him, then remotely opens the door using her telekinesis. They crawl out into the hallway, then Castor summons out some water to put out the fires so that they can start moving through the palace. However, they are stopped by a bloody and somewhat insane Starstreak in the throne room. He screams about them ruining everything and uses black magic to catch them in a death grip, Lunar being held far tighter than Castor. All Castor feels is anger, remembering all the times Lunar put herself in danger just so that everyone else would be okay. He smacks Starstreak with water, momentarily stunning him so that he lets them go. Dusk and Eclipse run in, and Dusk tosses Castor a gun (presumably Remus's). Eclipse checks on Lunar, and Castor curses at and shoots Starstreak once, killing him. Just then, the fire spreads into the throne room and Dusk and Eclipse instinctually run out. Lunar cannot run as fast in her weakened state, but pushes Castor out even though he insists on helping her out. Castor extinguishes the flames for Dusk, Eclipse, and himself as they run out, and there is a moment between the time when they come out and when Lunar comes out where everyone gets scared. However, she falls into the scene from above, and everyone immediately gathers around her to express their gratuity for her being okay. Lunar notices Castor walk off through the big crowd around her, and makes a mental note to ask him about it later. An ambulance and fire truck were already called to help with the palace situation, and an officer soon lets them know that the situation is under control. Lunar tips him generously, and there is a time skip to when the main 10 (of the time) are slowly filing back down to Earth through the portal. Rome Heals Lunar, but just before she leaves, she notices the sadness on everyone's faces. They're worried they won't see her again, but she assures them that they can visit each other whenever and that they don't have to miss her.

EARTH:

After coming back down, Lunar makes her way through the crowd of her friends to Castor, who is standing alone near a tree. She asks him what's wrong, but he is dismissive, and she deduces that he feels pushed aside. She lets him know that she understands his feelings, and he can't believe it, telling her that she's always loved and the center of attention. He figures that everyone thinks he's annoying, and just deals with him. Lunar bets $20 that no one thinks he is genuinely annoying, and expects to receive it. She continues by thanking him profusely for his help back in the palace, and he brushes it off. As an extra token of gratitude, she pecks him on the cheek, walking away without saying anything more and leaving Castor stunned to silence. Once Pollux asks him what happened, he fanboy-screams. Meanwhile, Dusk struggles to ask Libra if he can kiss her, but she understands, kissing him first. There are multiple time skips, as a general montage of post-Invasion events show. Khione and Hermes come down to visit, the Otherworldly begins making friends with Eclipse, Nova, and Capricorn (who now lives down on Earth), and the last 4 very slowly make up. It is evident that Remus and Pluto have gotten into a few more physical altercations, but the four can now make wary conversation, realizing that they, in the end, are best friends and the only people they have ever had. Finally, Lunar, Castor, Dusk, and Pollux are lounging around in Lunar's and Dusk's house, talking about the fact that they are all over the news and the current state of affairs in the Otherworld. Lunar brings up that there's going to be some kind of issue soon, as they don't have a ruler, but Pollux says they can worry about that when it comes up. It is revealed that Castor never gave Lunar her $20, but would do it for another kiss.
