In the aftermath of the battle, the group stayed together for a while, Mariposa and Camilo taking them back to their Encanto for a bit. Mariposa and Jane poured over ways to get Ashley back, and eventually, with their combined infinity stone powers, they succeeded.

After a long time in Encanto with no sign of Mirabel coming back for revenge, they decided it was time to split up.

So the group got into the potato ship once more, for their last journey together. Their first stop was Batasha's planet, where they planned to give the world the hero they so desperately needed.

As the ship landed, Bat got out, tearing up. "I'm so glad I met you all. You know, I've got three families now." The whole group smiled.

"Bye, Bat. I'm still so glad I gave you that nickname." Mariposa said, and she gave Bat a hug.

"See you again sometime, Batasha." Camilo said, shapeshifting into her to say goodbye.

"I'm gonna miss you, bestie!" Ashley exclaimed, and Brett nodded along as the two best friends hugged for the last time.

"See ya, not chump." Bully told Bat, and she grinned.

"Hey, Nat?" Jane called, and Batasha looked at the last person she had to say goodbye to. "Thanks for saving me, all that time ago. If it weren't for you, none of this would've happened. You're my idol." Bat smiled gratefully, giving Jane a big hug as well.

"I'll see you all again. I promise." Batasha said, waving goodbye to the potato ship as it zoomed off into the distance.

Next was Eight Legged Freaks. Jane transformed Brett and Ashley into actual people, so there wouldn't be any confusion, and the couple got out to say goodbye to the remaining four.

"See ya, Bully and Jane. You guys are, like, couple goals." Ash told them, and Jane grinned.

"Hey, Ash?" Mariposa called, and beckoned her over.

"If Brett over there gives you any trouble," Camilo explained, putting the pinnacle of potato taser nuggets into her hand.

"What does it do?" Ashley asked, examining the taser.

"You'll find out." Mariposa replied, and they said goodbye with a smile.

"Don't give her any trouble, Brett!" Jane shouted over the potato ship thrusters. "See y'all in a million years or so!" And then they were off to their second last destination, Encanto again.

"I guess this is goodbye." Mariposa said to Bully and Jane, getting out of the potato for the last time.

"Oh, don't be so glum. Infinity stone buddies forever!" Jane exclaimed, and Mariposa high fived her, but since Mariposa was the best high-fiver in the entire galaxy, the sound echoed throughout the entire planet.

"See ya chump." Mariposa said to Bully Maguire with all the love in her heart, and he started to tear up at the beauty of her words.

Camilo shapeshifted into Bully to say goodbye. "That's something else," Bully commented, and Camilo laughed.

"Jane?" Camilo asked the girl, the last goodbye needed. "When you get to wherever you need to go, can you free the potato ship? His time to live his own life has come."

"Sure, Camilo." Jane replied, and then she got into the potato ship once more with Bully.

"Goodbye, old friend." Camilo and Mariposa said, hugging the ship as Jane started the engine.

"See ya chumps." Bully and Jane said in unison, and then they were flying again, both with tears in their eyes.

"Where are we going?" Bully asked Jane eventually.

"I was wondering, do you wanna, like, float in space with me for the rest of eternity?" Jane asked Bully, and he was silent for a moment smiling.

"Yes." He replied eventually, and Jane smiled back, transporting them to a remote corner of the universe, where the couple said goodbye to the potato forever.

"You were the best ship ever. Now, go live your life. Find another potato, or whatever you want to do." Jane said, and pushed the potato ship off into the distance. Now the ship flew to a distant planet, where he met a girl called Imaan, and they became best friends. But this story is about the beetroot person, and the beetroot person's story ends here, where she floated in space with Bully Maguire for eternity.

"Jane." A voice suddenly rumbled, interrupting Jane and Bully's space floating.

"Giant Space Spider?" Jane asked the unknown, and the spider appeared.

"Why did you resurrect Ashley?" The spider asked harshly, and Jane was surprised at his tone.

"Chill, creepy spider thing." Bully said, but the spider ignored him.

"Her universe needed her, and also, she's our friend, why wouldn't we?" Jane replied, not breaking eye contact with the spider's eight eyes.

"Because your whole mission was to kill her." The spider replied, then cackled evilly. Jane frowned in confusion.

"What do you mean?" She asked, but the spider cut her off with another harsh laugh.

"Your so dumb! Your friend would've probably figured it out if she had thought hard enough. Don't you get it, stupid human? Your mission has been a lie this entire time." The spider spat at her, and Jane looked hurt.

"Ashley killed my entire family, so I decided to get my revenge. However, I was held by a magical contract, signed by Fancy Gent the lawyer/museum owner, that stated I could not personally harm the girl. So I found the main guy from Interstellar and threw him your way. I found Gale Hawthorne to throw Natasha off the cliff, so you could find Ashley to replace her. I recruited Mirabel to kill Ashley, but she failed me in the end. However, the demon spawn did die, so I was happy. But then you resurrected her?" The spider asked, disgusted.

"It was me pulling the strings all along. I drained Mariposa of her space stone powers so I could create the portals. I even recruited Brett to kill Ashley, which he did, but then he went soft and helped you resurrect her. So, I'm sure you want to know what I'm going to do next. I am still going to get my revenge, but not just on Ashley. On all of you." The spider finished, and seemed to grow bigger until he wasn't just a vision anymore, but he was right next to Jane, floating in space with them.

Then he smiled a devilish spider grin, and pounced.
