Each of the six went and began working on their part. James sat down constantly typing codes. He was developing an algorithm that would help him in linking his phone with the others. Paige and Conner took a strand of everyone's hair. They used their advanced phones to develop the clones. They had one major challenge, how to make the clones feel. Luckily Conner had listened quite well in the lesson. Paige had vague knowledge from her notes. With time they managed to produce the clones. After they were done Blake injected each one of them with a serum he managed to produce. He had used the dirt, tree roots and tree leaves. He didn't even know how to make the serum. He just scrolled through his phone for information. When he found the needed information he discovered he didn't have most of the ingredients. He ended up relying on his intuition and praying for an alternative. He then thought of his own method that accommodated the nearest accessible resources. He then took a syringe from the first aid kit. This he used to inject the serum into the clones. The clones then all fell into a state of deep sleep. Whilst they were under Lisa and Alexis did their work. Lisa managed to make their faces look completely different from theirs. Afterwards Alexis made their clothing look torn. She also used dirt to make the clones look filthy as if they were on the run for quite some time. She was helped by the others except James in making the clones look wounded and injured. They used rocks in making cuts and bruises. After that they waited for James who quickly finished developing the force field link. They then waited together for the unconscious clones to come back to reality." I just pray the serum I made works."

"Blake it will work," Alexis encouraged as she patted his shoulder.

"We don't that yet!" Blake barked.

Lexi just took hold of the palm of his hands." Listen to me. It'll work," she said calming him down. Blake then hugged his girlfriend.

Everyone else was still looking at the clones with intent faces, waiting for them to wake up." Guys they are waking up," Lisa said.

Everyone fell silent and looked at the clones as they opened their eyes. The clones all sat upright looking at their makers." Who are you?" Conner asked them. The clones identified themselves.

"What happened to you?" Paige asked as well. They explained everything according to the way Blake had manipulated them to know. Paige looked at her brother and smiled. Blake grinned.

Blake quickly took another syringe and looked at the six." You survived a terrible ordeal. I need to inject you with this medication. You all are not well," he lied. The clones agreed. He injected them. The clones went into another state of deep sleep. Blake then looked at the others." When they wake up it will be nightfall. They'll go to the gate. The final explosion is tonight right?"

"Yes. Good. Now we wait and pray that our plan works," Paige said with a lot of nervousness on her face.

Sunset was just about to begin. James had placed cameras in the clothing of the clones. The six had left the cabin and hidden elsewhere. For their plan to work the clones had to believe they were the only survivors. The six hid a bit far. They were protected by a huge force field that covered all six of them. They all waited looking at James' phone waiting to see the progress of their plan. The clones woke up aggressive and they began to run toward the gate. The site leading to the gate was just as Paige had imagined. The clones passed the opening leading to the gate. They just did according to what Paige had visualized. They stood and stared at each other before continuing to run. The gate's weapons came out. The clones looked terrified. They looked at each other and then back to the gate. The dialogue began as Paige's clone began to speak. The gate's weapons didn't fire. The dialogue progressed as in her thoughts. What scared her was the thought of Dukilian realising that it was a trick. Everyone looked at each other in anticipation of what would happen after the clones were done speaking. Horror was on their faces when it seemed as if the weapons weren't firing. Relief came when they saw the clones falling down. They were shot. Shortly after the final explosion happened. They were safe in the field. The explosion wiped out the entire city. The paradise was gone. The utopia had been destroyed. Redstone was no more.
