A while after the explosion they got out of the force field. The city was no more but the six were happy. Dukilian's surveillance was gone since the city was destroyed. They all cheered. They had survived. The six embraced each other. They had survived despite all the dark circumstances. They managed to reach End's Gate but they were all alive. Despite going through terrible losses, losing the people they loved they were all happy. They had each other. Paige was happy and shocked at the same time. Their plan had worked. Now Dukilian was thinking that they were through but they were all fine. She thought of all their experiences. She then began to cry genuinely out of joy. Conner hugged her." Paige my dove you did it. You had hope in a plan that seemed to be impossible and unrealistic but it saved us. You gave us hope and now we're all safe."

"Yeah Paige if it weren't for you..."

"It's not only me Lexi. It was all of you. You give me a reason to live. I would do anything and everything to make sure you guys remain a part of my life." She looked at Alexis and Lisa." You're my sisters." She then looked at her brothers." J, B you're my brothers and blood and you," she said pulling away from Conner's hug and placing both hands on his cheeks," you're my life, my epic love." She then kissed him. Blake then kissed his girl. Lisa and James kissed as well.

After a while they decided to work on developing their tunnel. They had to move underground. It was much safer than moving in the open. The six developed an application that would drill holes. They used their phones. The application they developed was power intensive. It would destroy their phones afterwards but that didn't matter. They would find new ones in Cornerstone since they were going to start new lives. They placed their phones on the ground and the tunnel was made. They truly were geniuses. Everyone was happy when the tunnel formed. It was going to lead them to a location near their intended destination. Paige wasn't happy with the fact that they were going to live fake lives but it wasn't the time to focus on the negatives. What mattered now was that they had survived and were on their way to safety. She had to embrace the life her uncle had made for her. Although it was bad that Jermaine had altered the reality of an entire city she had to be happy with what he did. He had made sure that Dukilian wouldn't know the six of them survived. They would live with the residents of Cornerstone and blend in pretty well. For all she knew this was a gift." Are you ready?" Conner pulled her out of her trans. "The tunnel is almost complete. We can start moving now."

Paige smiled at him." Yes. I'm ready. We can go."

James and Blake led the way. They got into the tunnel. Alexis and Lisa followed. Conner stood with Paige who seemed to be mouthing out the words goodbye to her old home, the city that she grew up in. He then held her hand and started leading the way. Paige held his hand tightly as they walked into the tunnel cautiously so as to not trip and get injured. They walked talking cheerfully. They made their way slowly through. They talked about their experiences and laughed together. They were happy. They had been through a lot. They had been through hell. They had survived a twisted life or so they thought little did they know it was just the beginning.
