As Yume gets used to her new world wide fame, Elza is still adamant she will close Venus Ark. However the other idols refuse to leave and after some protesting, Elza realizes what she needs to do next. Elza holds a goodbye concert with Rei, Aria and Kirara, after which she announces she is closing Venus Ark in order to re-imagine the school as a place where anyone who wishes to become an idol can come aboard, rechristening it as Neo Venus Ark. As the ship prepares to leave, Elza says goodbye to Yume, vowing to return one day to defeat her, to which Yume replies that she'll be waiting.
