Chorus arrives to visit Jester, asking about Dreamon separation. Jester is not originally aware that Chorus is not Jay, and Chorus is not their actual name.

Jay is put back in control for an attempt, and after Chorus separates from them, their Dreamon is revealed to be a very large dragon. Due to the dragon's size, they head outside for some more space.

Chorus and Jester talk about Jay's coronation, calling it unethical. Chorus argues that Crown should be held accountable regardless of age, while Jester says that the lessons that were drilled into Crown’s head by the server and hosts are hard to unlearn.

1. Evacuation

Act 2 opens with Jay teleporting back into Judge’s room, with Max attempting to move the barricade blocking the door due to the fire. Jay asks Max to hold on to the pets before teleporting, however, Max asks them about Arrow - his pet rat. Jay mentions that they hadn’t found Arrow yet, but they’ll have to go back out and look for them.

Max and Jay teleport out of the room with the rest of the pets, ending up outside near the forest’s edge where Jay had taken Baroness and Jack. Max warns Jay about overexerting themselves, but they tell Max that they don’t have a choice since they can teleport people to safety. He then makes Jay promise not to go back into the burning mansion, and in a tender moment, he tells Jay that he loves them like a brother. Jay tells him that they love Max too, and to head to Mona’s House.

Jay then teleports deeper into the forest, looking for Empress. They locate Empress on the ground, bleeding from the stump of their broken off antler. Empress isn’t moving, which causes Jay to become emotional, until they hear breathing. 

Jay picks Empress up off the ground and promises to teleport them away, acknowledging that they had thought that Empress had died. Empress promises Jay that they “ain’t dying yet.” When Jay tries to maneuver the fallen Dreamon to get ready to teleport them, Arrow pokes their head out of Empress’ jacket! Finally, Jay teleports Empress and Arrow further into the forest and out of the camera’s view.

2. King takes flight

Meanwhile, the shifters rush through the burning mansion, darting from room-to-room trying to save as many of the family’s important items they can from burning up in the inferno. They also check the rooms to make sure that no one else is trapped inside.

They enter Knight’s room, and shut the door behind them, looking for anything that was worth saving of King’s brother and Mona’s best friend. However, the gasoline and smoke choke King, disorienting her. She’s trying to decide what to grab, when Mona tells her to take the photos from Knight’s wall and get to the window.

King proceeds to grab as many of Knight’s photos as she can from above the bed. As she struggles to think about how she’s going to escape due to the dizzying smoke, Mona helps her focus, and asks King about what form she knows best to shift into. King replies that she studied birds, wings, feathers, and flight, and after Mona urges her, King takes flight out of the window!

3. Loss

Outside, an exhausted Jay looks for some other way to help as the mansion burns. They spot Donti, sparring with a Dreamon hunter holding a scythe and chain. Jay panics, running to protect their friend Donti, when the hunter hits Jay in the stomach with the scythe. As Jay pleads for Donti to run, the Enderman disappears in a puff of smoke.

Donti quickly kills the attacking hunter, and falls to the ground in shock. Empress then enters the scene, looking for Judge, and accuses Donti of killing them, saying “....all of you fucking hosts are the same.”

Donti insists that they did not kill Judge, and that it was in fact Jay that died. Donti tells Empress to either fight for the family or leave, and then Donti makes their way back into the battle again.

4. Ascent

With Judge now gone, Viscount realizes that he can no longer fight. Suddenly, a mysterious form flies out from the trees, which is Ethan, wielding an axe. Ethan swings his axe at the hunters approaching Viscount, and then grabs him and takes him away from the fray. Soon, he disappears back into the night.

5. The End?

As the fighting begins to wind down, Crown teleports outside to attempt to sneak away from the chaos. However, he’s quickly caught by the Dreamon hunters, led by Koko. Crown attempts to plead for his life by allowing Ranboo to take control, but Tubbo insists that Koko continue.

Koko exorcizes Crown from Ranboo, leaving both Ranboo and Crown severely injured. As they work to stabilize Ranboo, they realize that Fetch is dead as they watch the rest of the mansion finally collapse from the flames. The Dreamon hunters leave the premises, their hunt complete.

6. The End.

Jester, overcome with grief and rage, taunts Crown for not doing anything to stop doomsday. Crown appears to not care, making Jester more angry. Jester kills Crown, and takes all of the court’s “strings”, the connectors that make them loyal to Crown.

[Note: This scene takes place after Jack's conversation with Baroness about her coronation.]

Jay has Pants (Sawyer), and they're spending some time together, before Baroness walks in and startles them.

Pants gets into an unknown box that is full of cat toys and catnip, breaking the glass catnip bottle and eating a ton of it. Baroness takes the box outside to dump the glass out. There is not a single thought behind Pants's eyes. Jay asks Pants to name any future cat he might get, and Pants simply says beep.

As soon as the box is returned, Pants jumps in it. Jay asks Baroness about Syd possibly knowing Pants. Baroness says that she probably didn't, as the chances would be incredibly low, but Syd's past was a mystery before her counterpart went to prison.

However, they theorize that it's possible that Pants knew Syd as the cat is so open to Baroness. Pants was given to Baroness by King, after Baroness went to go find King on the day she was feeling angry and abandoned.

Jay tells Baroness that it's good King took a break away from the Mansion. King thought Baroness hated her and would convince Jay to feel the same way. Jay talks about "punting the cat" (giving the cat to King) as a way to get King to talk to Baroness, with Baroness telling them not to as she believed that King needed space from her after their fight.

Max walks out to meet Dave and Jack, handing them cookies he stress baked and talking about wanting to leave the mansion and have control over the body. Dave suggests he just comes back to the mineshaft, and just as Max is agreeing Jack mentions they have 'another one' coming.

The other one Jack was referring to is Prince, who's entranced by how pretty Jack's eyes look and follows them out to the living room, where faer stopped by Jay. Jay asks the eyes if they're kidnapping Prince, and after an uncertain answer, asks them to just be careful and have faem back soon. Prince then leaves the mansion, still following the eyes.

Linked transcript proceeding this: Baroness asks Jack about her coronation. Max is still having a panic attack when the rp resumes.

Pants has followed Baroness outside and is now cuddling with Dave, and Jay has also followed them outside. Dave and Jay talk about Pants and cats in general, while in the background Max starts purring along to Pants' purrs. Jack returns from his talk with Baroness, and him, Max, Dave, and Pants prepare to leave, with Prince still following the eyes and eventually catching up to them.

Max and Pants (the cat) arrive at Baroness's room, saying that Jack wants to speak to Baroness.

The three head outside to Jack and Dave, where Jack asks to hold Pants, and then promptly passes the cat to Dave.

Baroness asks Jack about her coronation, and Max and Jack both tell her to stop talking, as she was not aware it was a traumatic experience.

Unbeknownst to Baroness, Max had watched her coronation during her trial (with Mona), and Jack was at the trial when it occurred. Jack also had a very close relationship with Syd, so both Max and Jack have a negative reaction to the topic being discussed.

Max panics, and Jack gives Pants to him to help him calm down. After that, Jack takes Baroness to the garden so they could discuss the events of the trial and proceeding coronation privately.

Jack then explains that Syd had gotten sick in prison around a week leading up to the trial, but her sickness worsened when Crown came to visit her cell a few days before the trial.

He also mentioned that while Syd had some "ominous" ideals before she was imprisoned, she was vehemently against joining the Family during prison.

He also told her that Syd was taken directly after she was found guilty of her crime (but her sentence had already been served, so she would have been freed otherwise).

Baroness is shocked by this, as she always believed that Crown had saved her from an unfortunate fate that day.

Jack also mentions that he did not care if she left Crown or not, but Baroness promised Jack that she would give Syd's body back if she ever asked.

However, Baroness said that she would not leave Crown though, saying that she believes he loves her, and talking about the effect it would have on him.
