"Haaa... it's finally over!" Cale rested the back of his hand on his forehead, he thought he would finally able to live his dreams now that all the red flags were destroyed.

He stared at the ceiling for a while as he laid in bed until his eyes and mind slowly started drifting off..

He fell asleep.

"Hello Cale!"

A voice..? In Cale's dream..?

Cale ignored it, he was sure he was still asleep on his cozy, nice bed.

"Hello?!"

The voice, this time, screamed.

Cale opened his eyes, and found himself in a completely empty white room.. "God of Death?..." He asked the air, assuming that the voice was GoD's, since who else would be idiotic enough to pull him out of his precious sleep?

"Yes it's me!"

It was just a voice, no body or object to look at.

"What do you want now?" Cale seemed annoyed. Well why wouldn't he be? He just got interrupted in the middle of his nap! "It better be important." Cale waited impatiently for their response.

"The other gods and I discussed yesterday about what we should give you for successfully defeating White Star!" GoD cheered.

"And??"

"We've decided to do this.. you get to return to your original world, Earth!"

"..." Cale had a moment of silence. "What about my family here?" He was talking about the friendships he made along the journey. "And you couldn't think of anything better? Like giving me my slacker life?!"

"That was a far off dream anyways." GoD mumbled.

"What was that?" Cale could hear their words but couldn't make out what it was.

"Nothing!" GoD played it off, "anyways, the gift is that you can travel to Earth and back! You can even bring someone along with you! But it can only can be one person.."

"Why one person?" Cale asked.

"It'll be too dangerous if more than two important figures suddenly disappear out of nowhere." GoD explained.

"Alright.. so, how do I do it exactly?.."

"Simple! When you wake up, you'll find a device in your hand. There should be an obvious red button on it somewhere, press that and you and the person who's holding your hand will be transported to Earth!" GoD explained cheerfully.

"Why do they have to be holding my hand...?" Cale felt a bit odd with the holding hands thing.

"I don't know." GoD shrugged. "Anyways, goodbye!"

Cale woke up from his nap. And just like GoD said, a device was placed on his hand, a rectangular box.. a TV remote controller... The red button was exactly where the power on/off button should be. Are gods that lazy?! He criticized them.
