"Are... you satisfied... now?" John queried. At that moment, Raiden teleported onto the scene, surprising everyone.

"Raiden?!" Cassie exclaimed in shock.

"Stand aside, Cassandra Cage," Raiden said. "I'll undo his handiwork." With that, Raiden closed his eyes and blasted lightning from his hands at John, who was screaming in pain as this happens. He also used his powers to obliterate every Tarkatan, Grackalor, Zvarranik, and Heartless, knocking out Balrog, Vega, Baraka, Spawn, and Bison, and to free the entire group.

In a matter of minutes, John had returned to his normal human self, albeit unconscious. The power of the Sphere of Wonders was now inside of Raiden. He then unleashed his power back into the Sphere. In the process, all of the chaos John had brought about had been undone. On Earth, Outworld, the Chaos Realm, Keisei, Pandora, Yautja Prime, Zebes, and Realm of Light, all of the destruction the Heartless has caused is gone, along with the Heartless themselves. In the Realm of Light, Michael watched as the sky returned to normal.

"It's finally over..." Michael whispered.

Back on Earth, Dr. Clef patched up the Sphere with duct tape, much to 953's chagrin. "Duct tape?" she said in an annoyed tone. "Really, Clef?"

"Hey, there's nothin' duct tape can't fix," Dr. Clef assured.

"He's right, ya know," Tina agreed as she hugged Clef.

"Hey, Tina, there's an opening at my foundation if ya wanna join."

"DO I EVA!"

At that moment, Sonya, Johnny, and the Special Forces troops they brought along showed up. "Isolate John Ginger and his cronies," Sonya ordered. "And get the medic!" The two then ran towards their daughter, who had her shoes and socks in her hand.

"What'd I tell ya, Sonya?" Johnny bragged. "She's okay."

"I knew she would be," Sonya replied. She then hugged Cassie. "Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you!" Upon further inspection, Sonya had tears in her eyes.

"Y'know, comin' from you, that means a whole lot," Cassie said.

"C'mon," Sonya said when she regained her composure. "We need to get you and the others aboard the S.S. Anne so we can take you all home."

"But... I thought the S.S. Anne only sets sail once a year for voyages," Jacqui said, clearly confused.

"Oh, really?" Johnny said in a taunting voice. Soon after, the ship's horn sounded from outside.

Cassie was so overjoyed by this. "Oh, you guys are the best!" she exclaimed as she hugged her parents.
