The Cures escape from their cages and proceeds to fight Yango, while Star and Piton, along with the president reach the top of the factory. As Piton blames himself, the president comforts him by have Piton use his tears to finish his Miracle Light. With his Light finished, the darkness melts away and reverses the brainwashing citizens. With the cheers from citizens across the universe, as well as the previous Pretty Cure teams, the three Pretty Cure teams forms a pyramid and uses "Pretty Cure Miracle Universe Twinkle" attack and purifies Yango. The president tells the audience that a new legend was created, and Piton is promoted as an outstanding Miracle Light maker. Everyone chants and cheers for the Pretty Cures, as the universe is at peace.
