Upon learning he has been dreaming the whole event, he flies out of the dimension with The Baby and returns to his Kingdom .

After Ratboy Genius launches into space in his new starship with his friends for exploration-related purposes , Fred invites him to meet with Caterpillar Minister . On the way, the Professor explains to the crew about the Big Fish Boss, and the threat he poses to the galaxy with his fish legions .

Meeting the Caterpillar Minister, Ratboy Genius describes his plan to convert the electricity that the fish generate via the Cosmic Thunderbolt into a new dimension, using his ship as a conduit.To do this, he sends Mister Bigarms and Very Tall Friend as liaisons to persuade Little King John to maintain the other end of the connection .

He also sends Green Monster and Happyman to recruit Young Mouthbottom for his fishing nets  and the Baby to recruit Fisheater and his friends to eat any space fish that might surround the ship and hinder their progress .

He returns to his Kingdom to find the Green Flipper Friend, who tells him that he has had the magic to turn into a space fish all along . Ratboy Genius uses this power to infiltrate the space fish's rally and listen to The Big Fish Boss's speech, where he meets the Baby in her fish form, and learns she has the magic too .

While preparing for the Final Charge, the fish board the ship and attack the Baby; Ratboy uses his recently discovered stretching powers to physically deflect the fish and scare them off.  Afterwards, he guides one of the Galactic Friends, Buck Dodger, to a portal to the Minecraft Dimension so he can perform one of the most difficult tasks of the Conflict. As his ship charges towards the Fish Legions, Ratboy assigns his crew members to evacuation vehicles . Before he leaves, he gives his flute to Clyde, who had to stay on and keep the ship on course .
