Luckily for the royals, Chaos arrived to aid the Freedom Fighters and Meropis City Guard in fighting off Dark Gaia's forces, including a Dark Guardian, while Coral was aided in restoring the shield by Tikal. After Aquarius emerged from her cocoon and proved to be fine, the heroes were summoned before the royals once again. Puff and Angelica gratefully restored Coral's status, and apologized to the surface-dwellers for the way they had previously been treated. Later, Puff and several of his subjects would watch the Chaos Emerald Championship on BreezTV, with Puff losing a bet to Razor the Shark regarding the outcome of Amy's match against Knuckles the Echidna.
