Rifts Crisis Finally Over! was a short story written by Lupan Evezan and illustrated by Aristide Twain.

Consequently, it featured a further guest appearance by Jenny Everywhere in the section tying back to the events of PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel.

Plot

Following the conclusion of the Multiverse-threatening Rifts crisis, Marksmanship-522, Tracker-764, Bibliophile-962, and Pythagoras-858 return to the Cupid Homeworld aboard, of all things, a tachyonic sailing ship crewed by the Faction of the Fooling Fish. Before long, a special issue of the Homeworld's newspaper, The Cupid Courier, is created, reporting on this event, the truth about the Rifts, where the four heroic Clockwork Cherubns are going next, and miscellaneous other tangentially-related events.

Worldbuilding

Jenny

• The newspaper features a hotel review by the version of Jenny who had been travelling with Pythagoras-858.

Universes

• This story takes place in the Cupid Homeworld.
• Tracker-764 spent a long time in the Euclidean Plane, to which Pulsatons such as Doki Dick are native.
• The Cupids are aware of an escaped Mind Criminal from Dimension 87-B-24.

Other

• Tracker-764 helped destroy Mandragora's Machine.
• The Scarlet Wings are the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids's elite taskforce. Marksmanship-522 is a Senior Agent thereof, and Tracker-764 and the Hound are invited to join owing to their heroic deeds.
• The Cupids sometimes watch a TV series called The Rainbow Adventures.

Continuity

• Pythagoras-858 and Jenny Everywhere submit reviews of their experience at Hilbert's Hotel, seen in PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel.
• As Jenny speculated in COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids, the Consistency Imperium were indeed largely responsible for the Rifts Crisis, albeit due to the deceitful guidance of Mandragora.
