Once outside the locker room, more darkness fills the Australian skies and Queen Bee, Mightillistrator, Carapace, Stormy Weather, Catboy, Howler, Owlette, Dark Horse and Gekko described it referencing the Entry Number 17 dialogue from Undertale. They were soon cut off by a villain named Creepystalker, Abigail's evilized counterpart.

After that, another reference came from Cal-Pal's dialogue showing Markov, Zoe's(Now Owlette) robot. Then the villains proceeded to Harbour Bridge which made the heroes go after them.

They soon reached Harbour Bridge and all of the villains were standing there waiting for their rivals. Once seeing these villains, they de-transformed.

Leah Rouge needed to de-merge in order to defeat these villains. After being defeated, Stellica, Stellagirl, Shooter and Creepystalker were revealed to be Lila, Arzaylea, Brenton and Abigail. 5 Seconds of Summer were able to defeat these villains but Rankora. All they had to do is combine their powers which causes a massive explosion but it helped defeat Rankora.
