Pearl felt his connection with Alex at first, followed by a sense of pain and struggle. He worried for a long time, confused as to what was going on. He tried contacting Alex, but he got no answer.
Then, the sensation went away. And a few seconds later, he found himself pulled away from the Demon Realm.
Pearl teleported out of Alex's Soul Realm, arriving on the red-hot sand, with the shimmering sky above him.
He stared around in awe, seeing the outside world for the first time, with his brother next to him and a woman to the side.
"Is this… Hell?" Pearl asked, very much confused as to what was happening.
"Pearl!" Alex shouted in excitement. "I did it, Pearl. I got rid of the seal."
"You…" It took a moment for Pearl to figure out what Alex was saying. When he finally understood the meaning of those words, his eyes widened in shock. "You got rid of your seals?"
"Yes," Alex said.
"That's amazing!"
"Who is this?" Bladedance asked from the side.
