Jim took a System Runner to pay his friends a final visit to Middle-earth and it began with Minas Tirith. He entered the throne room and bowed in front of King Aragorn and Queen Arwen, "Your majesties."
"Welcome back, Jim," said Aragorn.
"Thank you. Amon is dead once and for all, but …"
"But what?"
"But Sarah … she … when she killed Amon, she told me to go. I don't believe she's dead," Jim spoke in an uneasy tone.
"Even so, she brought peace for all of us," said Aragorn.
"You must not let go of hope, Jim," Arwen offered encouraging words.
"How have things been for you?" Jim asked.
"We're doing fine. Middle-earth is entering into the Fourth Age and men are becoming dominant in this world. Emissaries from Harad had come for peace talks," Aragorn gave Jim an update.
Jim told the King of Gondor what happened in the Void during his one-night stay in the city.
The next day, Jim left Minas Tirith to pay his friends in Erebor a visit. He landed the System Runner near the gates of Erebor before entering. "I've come to see King Fili," Jim said to the guards.
The dwarven sentries escorted him to the King Under the Mountain and he bowed. King Fili was close to become old.
"It's good to see you, Jim. I heard you had come back to this world," said Fili.
"It's good to see you too, your majesty. I did come back to this world and I was involved in the war against Sauron. I have something I should give you sooner," Jim gave him a book.
"What is this?"
"When my friends and I went into Moria, I found it in the body of one of your kin."
Fili began to read, "These are Ori's handwriting."
"Does it mean the book came from Ori's body?" Jim thought.
After Fili read the book, he held a feast as a reunion with Jim. Gimli, Gloin, Bofur, Bifur, Nori, Kili, Tauriel, and Johnny also joined the reunion. They all watched six dwarves bringing the excessive-corpulent Bombur in and he was being placed into a chair. Jim transpired the events happened in the sector and his involvement in the war against Sauron. He also learned about the dwarves' role in the war and the destruction of Dol Guldur. Jim was surprised learning Johnny was engaged to the daughter of Kili and Tauriel. A wedding was held and Jim smiled watching his son kissing his bride.
Jim left after the wedding and went to the Shire. He first landed his System Runner near the entrance of Bag End and Frodo came out see. "Hello Jim," the young hobbit greeted.
"Hi Frodo, how are you doing?"
"I'm not so sure."
"What's wrong?"
"It just never healed," Frodo gestured to his shoulder.
Jim remembered the moment that the Witch-king of Angmar had stabbed him in Weathertop, "I guess it damaged your spirit also."
Later on, Jim also met up with Sam, Merry, and Pippin. He learned that Sam had married to Rosie Cotton and Pippin caught the flower bundle from the bride. Frodo revealed that Bilbo's book was not finished and there was room for more.
Gandalf arrived in a horse-drawn wagon and old Bilbo was in it. Jim rode the wagon with Frodo and Bilbo while Gandalf was driving at the time Sam, Merry, and Pippin were riding.
"Tell me again, lad, where are we going?" Bilbo asked.
"To the harbor, Bilbo. The elves have accorded you a special honor, a place on the last ship to leave Middle-earth," Frodo replied.
"Frodo, any chance of seeing that old Ring of mine again? The one I gave you."
"I'm sorry, uncle. I'm afraid I lost it."
"The Ring had to be destroyed if there is to be peace in Middle-earth. With the Ring gone, all evil in this planet is vanquished," said Jim.
"Oh, pity. I should like to have held it one last time," said the old hobbit.
Jim, Gandalf, and the five hobbits arrived to Grey Havens that was a port city in Mithlond. "Well, here's a sight I have never seen before," Bilbo muttered when they arrived at the docks where the last ship was waiting and there were three elves who were about to board the ship. Bilbo and the elves bowed.
"The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come for the dominion of Men," Galadriel announced in common tongue.
Jim had brought the translator with him for his final visit in Middle-earth. "The sea calls us home," Elrond spoke in elvish.
"I think I'm quite ready for another adventure," Bilbo muttered with enthusiasm and went with Elrond to board the ship.
After Galadriel and Celeborn boarded the ship, Gandalf turned to Jim and the four young hobbits. "Farewell, Jim and my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea comes the end of our Fellowship," the wizard announced causing Merry and Pippin to be in tears. "I will not say, 'Do not weep' for not all tears are an evil." Before Gandalf boarded the ship, he turned to Frodo, "It is time, Frodo."
"What does he mean?" Sam asked.
"We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me," Frodo did not give an answer yet.
"You don't mean that. You can't leave," Sam's eyes were filling with tears.
"The last pages are for you, Sam," Frodo gave his friend the book. He first embraced Merry and Pippin.
"I wish you all the best, Frodo," said Jim.
"Same to you, Jim."
Frodo lastly embraced Sam and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Frodo walked towards Gandalf and they boarded the ship. Before the young hobbit completed boarding, he smiled at his friends before entering.
Jim, Sam, Merry, and Pippin watched the ship began sailing out of Middle-earth. They went to a point between the Shire and Buckland. "So, this is goodbye then," said Jim.
"Where are you going?" Merry asked.
"What are you going to do then?" Pippin asked.
"I'm going back to Mar Sara, another world. I'll figure things out," Jim replied.
Merry went home back to Buckland while Jim, Sam, and Pippin returned to the Shire then went off on their own. Sam's family watched from the window seeing a flying object as Jim piloted the System Runner and left the planet.
