After "taming" his soul, Tenkai was informed that he is now able to bring his chosen person into the soul realm. This will decrease Kai's power rather drastically since he has just acquired more control of his soul. He is brought to a pedestal that has an orb sitting in the mouth of a stone snake.

"This is where you are allowed to go back and request your desired person to join you in the soul realm. This will take them away from the earth realm completely, replacing them with another spirit." informs the red haired girl. 

"Wait, so if I bring her here, her soul will be different? Like as in her being another person?" questions the boy, still in his armor.

"Well, its still them. What you are doing is giving them a true or "perfect human" form, allowing them to come here. They can even become a knight if a soul decides to choose them. Nothing will be taken away, they will basically be living two lives." says Ellie.

"Okay, so she won't be snatched away from the people on Earth. That would have been so selfish..." says the Dragon-boy

"Well, are you ready?" she asks

"Yes"

"Grab the orb and think of the person you want to see and bring. Think of the memories you have and share with them and you will be transported to them. You must perform some sort of embrace in order to bring them here and share your power. Like a handshake or hug." says the little girl, motioning Kai to grab the orb.

Tenkai nods and moves towards the snake statue and takes the orb. He closes his eyes and remembers everything with him and Gabby, including the party and his death. With that being the most powerful memory they share, Kai is transported to Gabby's house in an instant with a bright flash. Gabby was siting in her room and staring out the window, watching it rain. She completely ignored the bright flash due to her mood.

*sigh* "Who is it?" asked the girl in a low and sad tone. She still hadn't gotten over what happened. Even after the funeral and people's reassurance, she blames herself.

"I...Its me, Gabby..." says the boy who, still in his armor, stood at the door.

She recognizes this voice and turns to it with her eyes glistening. She sees the boy with his red hair and sharper than normal teeth. She manages to see through this and confirm her recognition.

"K...Kai...? How...How are you here? Am I hallucinating?" asks the girl as she rubs her eyes and shakes her head, attempting to make him disappear as if he were fake.

He gives the warm smile that only Gabby has had the pleasure to have seen, making Gabby tear up and fall to her knees. 

"IF THIS IS A DREAM WILL SOMEONE PLEASE WAKE ME UP!? DON'T MAKE ME LOOK AT HIM!" screams the girl while she weeps into her hands.

Kai walks over in his dark armor and kneels down to her level. He lifts her chin up and takes her hands off of her face, looking her dead in the eyes and whispering...

"Its me"

She tackles the boy, knocking him over and hugs him so tightly that her grip could give the dragon a run for his money.

"How!? How are you alive!?" she questions

"Well, actually, I'm not." he answers

"Wh-What?" she says loosening her grip only a little

"I'm still dead, I'm only here for you." explains the boy while looking at the girl who has now sat up and is siting on his lap as he lay on the floor.

"Here for me?" she asks as she tilts her head

"Yea. I wanna take you back with me. Will you--"

"Yes" she answers, not letting him finish. She needs no further explanation.
