In Act 6 Act 6, Caliborn hijacks the narrative and makes fun of Homestuck with his own version, 'HOMOSUCK'. However, Andrew Hussie is still able to tell the main story via the intermissions in this act. To retaliate, Caliborn puts some stardust into the cartridge hosting Homestuck, which puts glitches in the story.
The meteor crew finally arrives in the session, but Jade intercepts them all (except Gamzee) and leaves them divided into pairs on different planets. With the heroes now in her possession, the Condesce forces them to help enact her secret plan: no longer willing to serve Lord English, she intends to betray him by finishing the B2 session, seizing the Ultimate Reward for herself, and recreating her empire in the new universe with Earth as its new capital, brainwashing Jane and Jade to these ends.
John uses his story warping abilities to visit his friends in the session. He and the imprisoned Roxy formulate a plan to use the Ring of Life - a legendary ring John found while in a dream bubble - to bring Calliope back to life and prevent Lord English from killing her. However, he discovers the ring is missing before being warped away into Caliborn's parody. Meanwhile, the dead pre-scratch troll Aranea has taken it upon herself to take control of the situation in the way she sees fit, believing she can prevent Lord English from being born and use her Sylph of Light powers to make a new alpha timeline. Aranea mind-controls Gamzee to steal the ring and bring her back to life with it. She activates Jake's Hope powers. Jane and Jade mobilize to stop her and many other characters arrive on the scene. A large melee ensues, but in the resulting conflict many of the characters end up dying.
When John arrives, he meets up with Roxy on her planet. A mortally wounded Terezi arrives and demands John use his story-warping powers to fix things, believing him to be able to alter history without dooming the timeline. Visiting his Denizen Typheus, John is offered a choice, and with his powers he removes the oil from his land, scattering it throughout the story, and removing the glitches. He transports his planet to the void and resumes warping through reality, using a phrase he and Terezi came up with - 'there's no place like home' - to return to when he and Terezi were planning. Since this test proved successful, Terezi gives John a list of instructions to alter the past that will help them prevent the doomed timeline. Using codewords linked to thoughts Terezi had throughout her timeline, John jumps to various points in Terezi's life before, during and after her SGRUB session.
The result is that Terezi never killed Vriska, allowing her to live on to help the meteor crew on their three-year journey, fixing their various emotional problems and making them overall better prepared for the new session. Vriska put Jade and Jane to sleep to prevent them from being used by the Condesce, and led the assault against the Condesce on Derse. This is explained by the sleeping Jade and Jane, who have met Calliope in her hiding spot in the dream bubbles. Jade also explains that during the three year voyage, her version of John died partway through. In her sleep, she met the alternate Calliope who prevailed over Caliborn, and learned from her that because of John's choice with his Denizen, the dead John is being replaced with the alpha John from the old timeline. John picks up the ring during his mission so Aranea can't take it, and teleports back to his planet, where the Roxy from the original timeline is staying in order to stay alive. John warps the two of them and his planet back out of the void and into the session, where they finally meet up with the other players, including Vriska.
Caliborn unveils his stop-motion masterpiece; depicting future events he watched via the monitors on his planet. It shows that after he defeats the denizen Yaldabaoth, he is granted a red Juju chest, which contains the transparent house-shaped treasure. It is also shown later that he comes upon his God Tier immortality clock and breaks it, gaining the immortality and flashing eyes which make him Lord English. However, John arrives with the other eight kids, but Caliborn reveals the juju, sucks up the four B1 Kids (turning the juju transparent) and banishes it to the void using the Ring of Void, where the pirate crew will later find it. After this, the Alpha kids battle Caliborn, but when Dirk uses Heart powers to rip out his soul, Caliborn, Arquiusprite, and half of Gamzee become stored in the puppet Lil' Cal, whom Roxy banishes to the void. After this, Caliborn explains that it is through Cal that Caliborn enters universes, and over time he will grow to become the monstrous Lord English. It is through Cal that Caliborn will be able to later enter the universe via emerging from the corpse of Doc Scratch, the First Guardian of Alternia - who was created using Lil' Cal and an omniscient cue ball - and possess the Jack Noir of the B2 Session.

In the new session, after John and Roxy appear to meet and greet the heroes, Vriska begins the meeting discussing the various threats facing them - the Condesce and the various Jacks - and decide on who should fight who. Kanaya must also get Jade's denizen Echidna to release the tadpole of the Genesis Frog that Jade managed to create before the Scratch; the frog that will become the new universe. After bringing Calliope back to life, Roxy, using Void powers, summons the Matriorb from nothing and presents it to Kanaya. Several new sprites are created, including Jasprosesprite^2 and Davepetasprite^2, who will assist in the final battles. Vriska goes to the Furthest Ring and, with Meenah, finds that Tavros - whom Vriska had always bullied and called useless - has gathered a ghost army thanks to the power of friendship. The ghost army proceeds to confront Lord English, where Vriska will use the treasure as a weapon.
After this, the heroes in both the session and the Furthest Ring are gathered to their respective fighting venues, Jade wakes up after meeting with the alternate Calliope, and the villains enter the scene. All of the various groups collide in catastrophic fashion. These various battles end with the enemies in the session mostly defeated - Dad, Jake and Karkat conquer the Felt, Bec Noir is disarmed by PM, Spades Slick and Lord Jack are decapitated by Dave, and the Condesce is killed by Roxy. After the battle, the heroes reunite, including all eight kids, Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya, and Calliope. Jane's father, who was also John's father before the scratch, also arrives, sparking a touching reunion.
PM and WV throw the Queen's Rings from before the Scratch into the Forge on Jade's land; the Genesis Frog flies into Skaia and completes its transformation into the new universe. The heroes, who earlier managed to rescue the desolate B2 Earth before its destruction, use time powers to bring it back to life, where the protagonists will be able to live out the rest of their lives peacefully. The alternate Calliope goes to the Green Sun and sucks it into a black hole so massive that it creates a massive rip in paradox space, making Lord English vulnerable as well. At the site of the final battle, Vriska uses the Treasure which is inundated with the B1 kids' power, but what it does is not seen. A door appears on the treasure, as well as on the platform where the heroes can enter their new universe. Homestuck ends with John approaching the door to the new universe.

For unknown reasons, seven page numbers are skipped in the MSPA numbering, namely 4299(in troll romance), 4938 (between Rose and Dave discussing the Horrorterrors), 4988 (after [S] JOHN: RISE UP.), 8270 (between John fleeing from Jade on LOLAR) and 9802, 9803 and 9804 (after the date between Jasprosesprite^2 and Davepetasprite^2). While most of these pages are blank, 8270 is actually a duplicate of 8269 where both the "Go Back" button and the forwarding command button lead back to 8270. Consequently, the actual number of Homestuck pages is seven fewer than subtracting the overall numbering would imply, discounting easter eggs and links to images such as Jadebot's dream log or certain characters' drawings.

Homestuck has ended, but Andrew Hussie has stated that he will make an epilogue some time in the future. Some things in the story are left open-ended; for example, it is unknown when or in which timeline the Alpha and Beta kids go to confront Caliborn, or what the treasure's power actually does. The game Hiveswap will presumably continue to expand the world depicted in Homestuck.
