In defeat, the group of Jenny's friends head to [[Right-On By The Sea|“small seaside town”]] which was apparently one of Jenny's favourite old haunts. Not finding any hint of Jenny even there, they begin to believe her to be truly gone, and to mourn her. As they sit, however, the city itself keeps getting gloomier, until they realise that they are surrounded by the Fallen One, who is intent on taking posthumous revenge on the Shifter by destroying her dearest companions. After a moment of despair, however, Jenny's companions agree that she would want and expect them to stand up to the darkness all by themselves, and a battle begins between the fierce interdimensional travellers and the formless, shapeshifting evil. | In defeat, the group of Jenny's friends head to [[Right-On By The Sea|“small seaside town”]] which was apparently one of Jenny's favourite old haunts.

Although the creature manages (barely) to survive the onslaught from Jenny's companions, it finally vanishes when Jenny Everywhere herself drops out of the sky, finally returning to the universe. A little sheepish, she explains to her companions that, once every millennia, most of her incarnations retreat “for a week or so” to a [[Secret realm beyond Time|“secret realm | Although the creature manages (barely) to survive the onslaught from Jenny's companions, it finally vanishes when Jenny Everywhere herself drops out of the sky, finally returning to the universe. A little sheepish, she explains to her companions that, once every millennia, most of her incarnations retreat “for a week or so” to a [[Secret realm beyond Time|“secret realm beyond Time”]] to “rejuvenate” their psychic connection, returning to the [[Multiverse]] afterwards with no clear memories of what precisely transpired in the secret realm. She congratulates them on how they held their own against the Fallen One, and promises not to disappear again without warning them first, finishing off with a toast (of literal [[toast]] rather than alcohol) to “the Shifters! And to every story we’ve had — and will have!”. | ||
