"Let me drive, okay?"

Luke nodded weakly and Calum went out of the car to help Luke to the other seat while he sat on the driver's seat. He hit on the pedal and headed straight to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Luke was too weak to even open his eyes so Calum just carried Luke bridal style to where he knows his comrades where, but the sight that greeted him was definitely not the one he was expecting.

----

In a blink of an eye, Calum was already blocking the weapon that almost stabbed Ashton in the back.

"Calum!" Ashton called out.

"It's great, I got your back, buddy." Calum replied, blocking and launching an attack from his weapon towards the source, which he can't really see because of the bright light.

"Calum! Don't attack the Eden!" Ashton said, stpping in front of Calum to stop him.

"What are you talking about, Ashton? We have to destroy that, it's attacking everyone!" Calum replied.

Michael put his hand on Calum's shoulder to calm him down.

"Cal, look at it closely." Michael said.

Calum froze and squinted his eyes to make out the figure and the face of the so-called Eden. He let out a gasp as his eyes widened upon seeing who the Eden is.

"L-Luke..."

Before any of them can say another word, Kellin walked closer to them and stopped a few meters away from them. He raised his hand to signal the Eden to stop attacking before smirking at Calum.

"Where's the other Luke?" he asked.

"What do you mean the "other" Luke, Kellin? And why are you still alive? I thought you were affected by the virus!"

"I was the one who started the virus, Calum. Oh, that's the real Luke right there. The Luke you were with is just a clone." Kellin explained, clearly enjoying the horrific expression on Calum's face.

"How dare you!" He pulled an arrow from the canister and shot it towards Kellin, who dodged it with ease.

"What the fuck did you do to him!?!?" He asked again and launched another attack.

Calum attacked and kept asking questions while Kellin blocked and answered him.

"Why? Why would you do this? We trusted you!"

"I'm willing to do everything to achieve my dream. Even if it means experimenting on humans and using Luke as the host of Eden."

Calum stopped his attacks and just stood there, glaring at Kellin with Ashton and Michael a few feet away behind him.

"Why Luke?"

"He passed the experiment."

His answer made the three guys angrier than ever.

"How dare you use our friend like that and you dare make a clone of him just to trick us?!"

"Technology is better than ever so making Luke's clone is easier than ever." He smirked.

"You're going down, Kellin." Calum said, gripping his bow tighter before calling out "Vercundia Aquilius, I call upon you to lend me your power to defeat evil." And a bright light surrounded him and his arrows fused with his bow and it transformed into a Forcium Blade.

Kellin smirked. "Now, let's get serious." He unsheathed his sword and called upon his demon's name whose name is Sparax Lutorius.

"Come at me, Calum."

Calum clenched his teeth and charged towards Kellin, preparing to swing an attack. The two of them attacked, blocked, getting punched, kicked and it repeated like a cycle until Kellin landed a hit on Calum's stomach that cause him to land on the ground, grunting in pain. Before he could stand up, Kellin had his foot on his chest, holding him down on the ground.

"Calum, do you know how hard I had to work just to achieve this dream, huh? It took me years to find the perfect host of the Eden and when the world ends? I'm gonna create a new world, and I will rule that world, Calum. So, I'm not going to let you take that away from me!" He stomped his foot hard on Calum's chest, causing him to cough out due to the pain.

"I-I'm not g-gonna let you do that because...." Calum smirked. "I'm g-going to save Luke!"

Kellin's eyes narrowed in anger as he raised up his word, ready to pierce it through Calum's chest.

"This is it for me." Calum thought. He clenched his eyes as he waited for the pain, but all he felt was that Kellin's foot that was on his chest was gone.

"Luke!" Ashton's voice followed by the sound of foot steps running was heard.

Calum gasped and opened his eyes and Kellin was nowhere to be seen. He sat up and looked around until his eyes landed on Luke and Kellin having a sword fight. He stood up, grabbing his sword while at it.

"Luke!" Kellin kicked Luke on his stomach which caused him to fall back, but Calum came in time and caught him in his arms. Ashton and Michael got caught up in with the others as they fought with Kellin's minions.

"Luke! I told you to stay put! You're in no condition to fight!" Calum scolded Luke.

Luke looked down and whispered. "Do you believe me now, Calum?"

Calum remembered the mean and awful things that he said to Luke earlier and immediately felt guilty. He bit his lip and nodded slowly. Luke smiled at him softly and snuggled closer into his arms. Calum tightened his arms around Luke and whispered, "I'm sorry I said those awful things to you."

Kellin laughed. "Am I hearing this right? Calum apologizing to a mere clone that is Luke?"

Calum glared at him and Luke gulped, pulling away from Calum to look at him staright in the eyes. "Cal...There's something else...that I want to tell you."

"What is it, Luke? You can tell me anything."

"What? Are you finally going to tell him the truth about you being a clone and about tricking him, leading him to believe you that you're the real Luke, huh?" Kellin laughed harder.

Luke looked at the other Luke with sadness in his eyes as he clenched his fists.

"Luke, are you okay? You're still burning, I have to take you somewhere safe. You can't push yourself to fight, okay? Leave us to deal with this." Calum told him as he started to put his arms under Luke's legs and his back and pulled him up, carrying him bridal style.

"You're not supposed to care for him. He's a clone, Calum!" Kellin laughed. "Clones have no feelings. They're just a mere copy of the original. Everything about them is fake!"

"That's where you're wrong, Kellin." a voice which Luke recognized was heard.
