Their vessel appears in universe 777. Jack looks outside one of the windows. He can see the castle standing high in the distance. "I'm home." Jack says.

"This is your home?" Ethan asks, sitting next to Jack.

"Yeah, it is." Jack says. He then looks at Jessica. "We should land in a place where no one will see the ship. Because if we land at the capital it'll tip them off to our exact location. Due to the amount of people who live there."

"Alright." Jessica says. She then steers the ship around for a bit, avoiding any and all buildings or roads. Then they find themselves over a beach at the shoreline. And there is an overhang and a cave going into the side of a cliff. The cave opening is gargantuan, and Jessica flies into it, turning to face the opening, and lands it. She then turns it off. "There." Jessica says as she stands. "We should be in a hard to find place. And I made sure to position the ship so that if we're found, we can hop in and escape immediately." She walks over to Jack and Ethan.

"Great." Jack says, standing up. Ethan stands too.

"We should probably remove the guard uniforms and leave this futuristic tech here. I mean, based on the outfit you were in when I met you, Jack, it probably would cause major distortion right?"

"You're right." Jack says. The three then remove the uniforms. Placing them in the ship, they also remove their guns and things. "Are you guys ready to see my home?"

"Sure." Jessica says. Jessica is in her prison clothing, and Jack and Ethan in their Universe 0 clothing.

"These outfits might make us stick out." Jack says, scratching his head. "From where we are, there will be a village before we reach the capital. There, we'll get some new clothes." He says.

"Right. I hadn't even thought of that being an issue." Jessica says. She then pulls a switch, opening the ship door. "Lead away. This is your home after all." She tells Jack. Jack leads, and the three walk off of the ship on the ground of the dark cave. They continue through the cave and leave it, walking out into the open air. The sand of the beach is a refreshing change, and the scenery is no different. The sea smashing against the rocky shore, the crystal blue sky, the shining sun, and the summer breeze make for a calming mood. And after escaping a prison, it is very appreciated. Walking across the sandy shore, they notice a ship in the distance.

"You know, after everything that's happened, this place might be the most soothing place I've ever been to." Ethan says.

"Same." Jessica says, "It's very nice. Surprisingly so." She says, "So Jack, we're gonna go to the capital? How come?" She asks.

"Oh, I haven't told you." Jack says, "I'm the prince of Fiscera. Heir to the throne."

"Wait, you're royalty?" Jessica asks. She places her hand on her chin. "No wonder you look so neat and clean."

"Haha... Yeah." Jack laughs, "I'm wondering what everyone will think of my return? They probably think I've died." He says.

"Why would they think that? I mean, I know you universe hopped, but wouldn't it make them think you're simply missing?" Jessica asks, "There would not be a body to speak of."

"I know. But it's been a bit since I've been here. And without me showing up, they probably have to the conclusion that I lost my life. Especially since I universe hopped on accident while attempting to fight a monster." Jack says.

"Wait, how do you 'accidentally' universe hop?" Jessica asks, obviously puzzled as to how that happened.

"Bought a sword that could supposedly fire a laser that could vaporize the monster." Jack says, "Turns out it didn't. Because I used it, missed, it ricocheted and hit me. Then I was in Universe 0."
