Dwight walks into The Sanctuary, past the fences with walker's attached to them, he hears a low rumble of a truck. As he comes around the corner he sees a group of Saviors grouped around the black truck, the front door opens and Negan steps out of it. Dwight reels back behind the corner, not wanting to let Negan see that he's back and hurt. He waits until Negan has walked through the front door before he follows. He sneaks past the Saviors and into the building. Dwight walks through the twisting halls, his boots echoing.
"Gotta find Sherry"
He whispers to himself, finally he reaches the door to the room that Sherry had been told to work in as the doctor's assistant. He places a hand on the doorknob and pauses before pushing the door open. The scene before him catches him off guard, in the middle of the room sits a bed, a woman with dreadlocks lies tied to it. Next to her stands one of the Saviors, he forcefully pulls her trousers around her ankles. Out of nowhere Sherry runs and jumps onto the man's back, screaming and clawing at him.
"Get off her you fucker!"
The man twists his body and Sherry falls off, he pushes her to the ground, she lands on her back dazed. He stands over her.
"You'll be next bitch!"
The man then proceeds to climb onto the bed on top of Michonne. Dwight launches forward and grabs the man by the back, he pulls as hard as he can and throws the man to the ground. The Savior quickly regains composure and gets to his feet.
"Ah Dwight! I've been waiting to kill you too!"
He then throws a punch at Dwight but he dodges it before sending his own punch into the Savior's stomach. The force from the punch causes the man to bend over in pain. Dwight follows it up with a knee to the man's face, a crunch is heard as the Savior is thumped backwards and onto the ground, blood gushing down his face. Dwight picks up one of his crossbow bolts from the hallway, he stands over the Savior.
"You disgusting piece of shit! You deserve this and more!"
Dwight then jams the sharp end of the bolt into the mans groin. He lets out a horrifying scream before passing out. The door to the room slams against the wall as Negan storms into the room.
"What the shit is happening in here!?"
Negan looks around at the scene. He sees Dwight.
"Dwight? What are you doing here? What happened? And please someone tell me why that man has a fucking arrow stuck in his dick!"
Dwight looks around the room. Sherry steps forward.
"The man, he tried to rape Michonne, I tried to stop him but couldn't, Dwight came in just in time and did this."
Negan looks at Dwight but walks past him, he points at Michonne.
"Sherry, get her pants back on."
As Sherry does this he walks next to Michonne and looks into her eyes.
"Is this true Michonne?"
She nods, remaining silent, traumatized by the events.
Negan grimaces, he turns and thunders toward Dwight, who braces himself for an attack. Negan however pats Dwight's back.
"Dwight! Thank fuck you were here! We all know what my views of rape are!"
Dwight nods. Negan points to the man.
"Dwight! Get a wheelchair! Bring that asshole down to the furnace!"
Moments later, the residents of The Sanctuary surround the furnace and Negan, who stands in front of the Savior who attacked Michonne, the bolt still stuck into his groin, blood dripping to the ground below him. Dwight stands next to the furnace, heating the iron up. Negan begins to address the people.
"We are here because someone among us does not know the rules!"
He points to the man in the wheelchair.
"This man here tried to rape a woman, and you all know the rules! What are they!?"
Negan yells, asking the crowd.
"We don't rape!"
The crowd responds all together.
Negan nods.
"That's right! We don't rape! So now this man will face punishment! He will get the iron! Dwight hand it over!"
Dwight lifts the scolding iron out of the furnace using a metal pole, he hands it to Negan who grabs it using heatproof gloves. Negan walks over to the man and pats him on the cheek. The man comes to but instantly freaks out, taking in the bolt in his groin and Negan standing before him with the iron. Negan pushes the iron against the man's face, a sizzling sound is heard as the heat melts the man's flesh, a shrill scream erupts out of the man's mouth. Dwight winces as he remembers the pain he experienced when he got the iron. Negan begins to pull the iron away, the melted flesh peels away from the man's face, liquid hits the ground as the man wets himself. Negan holds the iron out to Dwight as he takes it back. The man in the wheelchair huffs in exhaustion and pain. Negan lifts a finger in the air.
"You know what? I don't think that punishment is fucking harsh enough!"
Suddenly Negan grips the bolt and pulls it from the man's groin, he moves his hand backwards before driving the bolt through the man's eyeball and into his brain, killing him.
Negan smiles and laughs.
"That's fucking more like it!"
Ezekiel stands at a window of a building, he looks across the area, his eyes rest on a factory. The building is surrounded by fences, along each fence walkers are chained to the metal, undead guards to The Sanctuary. A younger man steps next to Ezekiel, he has grey short hair and scruffy stubble. The man begins to speak.
"The people are ready, we have men either side of the compound, snipers in different locations. We're as ready as we're going to be."
Ezekiel nods.
"Good Richard!"
Richard considers what he's going to say.
"Your highness, why did you lie to Carol? You told her that we'd fight with whoever she gathered."
Ezekiel gestures for Richard to follow him further away from the rest of the group.
"I have fallen for Carol, I lied because I do not want her, or her people to be hurt or killed. If she is not here I do not have to worry about her."
Richard nods.
"You ready?"
He asks.
Ezekiel nods.
"Signal to the soldiers, we fight now!"
Suddenly The Sanctuary begins to be pelted with bullets by all sides, the men on the outside get hit and drop to the ground. Ezekiel and the rest of the group storm in through the main entrance. Without warning bullets begin to hit the ground near Ezekiel.
"Take cover!"
He shouts. He and his soldiers dive behind a couple of old rusted cars. Ezekiel peers over the car bonnet. He sees that The Saviors have quickly gotten their bearings and have begun to fire back. Ezekiel looks to the roofs of the building where his men are situated. He sees some of them beginning to fall. A loud shot rings through the air followed by more. The bullets hitting the car stop, Ezekiel looks over once again. All the men who had been firing now lay dead, taken out by Ezekiel's snipers.
"Let's go in!"
Ezekiel's group charges toward the front door and enters the building. Carefully he raises his gun, a group of Saviors appear from around a nearby corridor, Ezekiel pulls the trigger and mows the men down. The soldiers continue to march through the halls, they reach big main metal doors. Ezekiel raises his hand as they come to a stop.
"On three, be ready!"
Ezekiel counts the seconds out on his hand and barges the doors open, the soldiers follow in behind him, each gun points in a different direction, ready to fire. Ezekiel halts, he looks around, confused. Before him huddle a large group of people, children, women and elderly people, in some of their arms lay babies. Ezekiel looks around at his fellow soldiers, they all just shrug.
"You motherfuckers! Thinking you can come into my place and kill my people!?"
Ezekiel turns and raises a gun, he sees Negan walk through the door, suddenly a large number of Saviors come through various doors and surround the men.
"Ezekiel! If I were you I'd tell your men to drop those guns! Give up! All your men including those snipers are dead!"
Ezekiel looks around, he hesitates only slightly. Negan raises his hand.
"Men kill them!"
Ezekiel catches Negan's words and yells.
"NO!"
The Saviors fire their guns and kill Ezekiel's soldiers, leaving only their leader alive.
Negan grabs Ezekiel's gun from him and throws it aside, he points Lucille at Ezekiel.
"Get to your knees!"
Ezekiel feebly falls to his knees. Negan laughs.
"You dumb as shit fucker! I am in control here! You can't kill me, and because of you, your people are dead!"
Negan pauses but continues.
"Oh I did leave two others alive though, apparently they're important to you."
Negan clicks his fingers. Saviors carry two people with bags over their heads and place them next to Ezekiel. The men remove the bags, revealing Richard and a young teenage boy with blonde hair, his name was Benjamin and he was like a son to Ezekiel. Ever since Benjamin's father died Ezekiel had raised the boy as his own. Ezekiel looks up at Negan.
"Please, just kill me not them!"
Negan smiles at Ezekiel.
"No… this is not how it's going to go! I'm going to kill the boy, then the other one and then after you have watched them all being fucking fuckity fucked to death, I will bash in your head with Lucille!"
Negan whistles and walks over in front of Benjamin, who keeps his eyes on the ground.
"Don't worry kid! It'll just take a couple swings!"
Negan raises Lucille in his hands, Ezekiel screams loudly, Negan swings the bat downwards. The wooden bat and barbed wire stops just above Benjamin's head. Negan puts the bat back to his side.
"You know what? I have a better idea. Men load them up!"
Ezekiel watches as The Saviors place bags over Benjamin and Richard's heads before his own face is covered.
Daryl, Rosita and Tara cautiously sneak up to The Sanctuary, they look around the community.
"What the hell?"
Daryl says as he sees the dead bodies lying in the gravel. The three walk up to the pile of bodies, Daryl kneels down.
"Some of these are people from The Kingdom, what the hell happened?"
Rosita shrugs and replies.
"Doesn't matter, we need to get in there while whatever happened has them distracted."
The small group enter The Sanctuary.
They come to a door, they pause outside it.
"This is the last place we have to check, we need to find Dwight before he tells Negan anything, that is if he hasn't already."
Says Tara. Rosita nods.
"It doesn't seem like Negan is here. Same with a lot of his men, this is our best chance to do this."
She responds. Daryl nods.
"Get ready."
Daryl kicks the door open as the three storm into the room. All three of their mouths hang open, in front of them lies Michonne. Daryl quickly runs to her and shakes her awake, she panics but calms down once she realizes who it is. Daryl grabs his knife and cuts the ropes keeping her in place. She then removes the tape from her mouth.
"Daryl! Rosita! Tara! You came! Thank god!"
Daryl hugs her close.
"What are you doing here Michonne!?"
Michonne looks confused.
"I've been here since I ran away into the forest."
Rosita steps forward, her hand over her mouth.
"You've been here for that long!?"
Michonne gingerly nods. She begins to speak.
"If you guys didn't know I was here why are you here!? How did you find this place!?"
Daryl looks at her.
"I tracked Dwight, something went wrong, we came here to stop it."
Loud footsteps come from the hallway. Rosita turns to the door.
"We need to go and now!"
The group quickly leave the room, they make their way out of The Sanctuary and out the front door, as they begin to leave the community yells can be heard behind them.
"Stop them! Kill them!"
Daryl quickly looks back and sees three men pointing their guns at them, The four survivors get into a nearby car and try to start the engine, bullets begin to strike the car, getting closer and closer to the group. To the survivor's obliviousness one of the shooter's falls to the ground, the other two look at the man and sees a bolt sticking out from the man's back, they look around when the second man gets a bolt through the chest. The third man turns to go back inside for cover but is too slow, a third bolt flies through the man's head, killing the man. The car engine roars into life as Daryl, Michonne, Tara and Rosita drive off. Dwight stands on a nearby balcony, lowering the crossbow, watching the car head off in the opposite direction.
"You're welcome."
