The Governor walked around Merle, Daryl, and Chris as the crowds kept yelling for their executions.
He smirked as he listened.
"Kill 'em!"
"Kill 'em!"
He loved victory more than anything else... Especially against Merle...
That traitor inadvertently got Penny 'killed'...
Merle, Daryl, and Chris all looked at each other with frowns on their faces.
Andrea, meanwhile, was being held back by Milton as she struggled to get to the Governor, wanting to talk.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" Andrea growled.
"You can't go..." Milton said.
Andrea then broke out of his grip, pushed her way through two guards and made it to the Governor.
"Let them go! Philip!" Andrea said, using his real name.
Andrea saw Martinez walk up to her, aiming his MP5k at her stomach.
She knew they wouldn't stop this...
"Stay out of this." Martinez warned.
"They're my friends!" Andrea protested.
The Governor frowned, but didn't turn to look at her.
"It's not up to me anymore... The people have spoken." The Governor said.
"What...?" Andrea asked.
The Governor kept frowning as he looked at Merle.
"I asked you where your loyalties lie... And you said 'here'." The Governor stated.
A guard went and cut the ropes on Chris and Daryl's wrists, freeing them. They both balled their fists as the guard walked away. They saw The Governor was still staring at Merle.
"Well, prove it... Prove it to us all... Brother against brother..." The Governor announced.
That sentence got a cheer from the citizens of Woodbury, all eager for some bloodshed and a good fight between an attacker, and a traitor. But the Governor quickly silenced the crowd, indicating he wasn't finished.
"Winner goes free... Fight to the DEATH!" The Governor finished.
Merle, Chris, and Daryl all looked at each other as the crowd cheered even louder, wanting all three of them to die... They honestly didn't care if someone won, they just wanted some good payback for the attack on their town!
Andrea had a wide eyed look of worry as she practically begged to The Governor, knowing him not just as his title, but also by his real name of "Philip Blake".
"Philip, please... Don't do this... Don't do this!" Andrea begged.
Chris, Merle, and Daryl all looked at each other again as the crowd kept screaming for blood, or cheering for their former champion Merle.
After all... He's the master of the gladiator-style games Woodbury has...
"Let's go, Merle!"
"Come on, Merle!"
"Yeah, Merle! Whoo!"
Merle raised his hand into the air, almost like how a professional fighter does before the start of a match, sometimes.
"Y'all know me... I'm gonna do whatever I got to do, to prove..." Merle began.
Merle then used that hand to punch Daryl in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. Chris growled and charged Merle, but Merle uppercut him with his metal blade-holder as he ran, causing him to also fall onto the ground.
Both of the friends coughed on the ground as Merle frowned.
"...that my loyalty is to this town!" Merle finished, lying to every single one of them.
Merle then kicked Daryl and Chris in their stomachs, causing them both to roll over on their backs.
Chris was gonna fucking KILL Merle if they got out of this alive...
Andrea watched with horror as Merle kicked Chris in the face, knocking out a few of his teeth. Chris groaned with pain as Merle started kicking Daryl again, coming up with a plan to fight off the Governor and the Woodbury Guard...
Andrea gasped as she saw several men come into the arena, bringing walkers with them! The walkers were held by a metal pole with a grabber on the end, so the men would be safe. They led them towards the arena, causing all of the citizens to cheer even louder.
Hell yeah! A dangerous match!
As Merle reached down to Daryl, Daryl used that to punch Merle in the jaw, making him stumble back.
"Ah!" Merle exclaimed, painfully.
Daryl and Chris stood up as they all noticed the walkers were in a ring around them, trapping them in a small space. But then, Merle ran and grabbed Chris, throwing him to the ground near a walker. Daryl was punched to the ground by Merle, who got on top of him as Chris tried to keep a walker off of him.
Daryl frowned up at his brother, and both of them had their hands on each other's throats.
"You really think this asshole's gonna let you go?!" Daryl asked.
"Just follow my lead, little brother... We're getting out of this. Right now!" Merle said.
That's when Daryl realized Merle was on his side. The two brothers got up as Chris pushed the walker away from him. All three of them stood back to back, pushing back walkers or punching the walkers in the head, trying to hold out for as long as they could...
The crowd was nearly screaming at the sight...
Chris grabbed a walker and threw it at a guard, nearly smirking as he saw the walker land on top of the guard. His semi-smirk instantly went away as another guard shot the walker in the head, saving the guard.
Daryl and Merle punched a few other walkers in their heads, and pushed some others away. Merle kicked a walker away from him as Andrea screamed at the Governor, begging to try and save her friends lives.
"Philip, no! Stop this! Philip, stop this!" Andrea begged.
The Governor, however, simply kept staring at the scene in front of him, deeply enjoying the sight of Merle fighting for his life... Milton was in the crowd, not liking the sight at all...
He didn't want this to happen to them...
Daryl punched a walker in the face, grabbed it by its shirt, and threw it at a crowd of the Woodbury citizens, causing them to scream and back away as a guard quickly moved to shoot it.
Then a gunshot rang out. A walker fell onto the ground, dead, as several more shots rang out.
Chris looked at a nearby corner, going wide eyed with who he saw there.
IT WAS THE GROUP!
Aelita frowned, using a rifle to shoot a female guard in the chest on purpose, seeing her corpse fall onto the ground. Aelita kept staring, actually WANTING the guard to turn into a walker... Rick and Jeremie were also near her, both throwing a pair of gas canisters into the arena.
Daryl and Merle saw the group was rescuing them as the gas canisters went off, and as Dylan and Ulrich fired at a group of the Woodbury Guard.
Some of the electric lights were shot, causing them to spark and also ignite, adding to the chaos and adding more panic to the Woodbury citizens. The Governor pulled out his Beretta 92, frowning at what was happening... Andrea gasped, shocked as she ran and tried looking for cover.
Aelita growled as a guard charged at her. He tried to punch her, but Aelita dodged it, grabbed his arm, and broke it with her elbow.
"AGH! YOU FUCKING BITCH!" The guard roared with pain.
Aelita then threw him at two nearby walkers, almost satisfied as she saw the walkers begin to chomp on the guard, and also hearing his screams. No one in the group noticed that happen as they were too busy shooting at the lights, walkers, and guards.
"Come on, little brother!" Merle yelled.
Merle, Chris, and Daryl then ran through the gas cloud, trying to find the group. But then Daryl noticed a guard in their way, and noticed something that caused him to frown...
That bastard had Daryl's crossbow!
Daryl, Merle, and Chris ran towards the guard, seeing him fire a bolt at a nearby walker. Daryl simply grabbed the crossbow out of his hands and kept running, leaving Merle to punch the guard in the face as he and Chris kept running after Daryl. The guard fell onto the ground, unconscious, and obviously he would wake up very confused as to where his new crossbow went.
Meanwhile, Andrea hid behind a large concrete block, shocked and actually scared of the events around her.
What the fuck was happening?!
"Daryl! Chris!" Andrea yelled, trying to look for one of her friends.
The citizens of Woodbury ran out of several exits, all panicked at whatever the hell was happening. The Governor simply walked through the gas cloud, and a frown was on his face and his pistol was still in his hand.
A walker rushed towards the Governor, but the Governor shot it in the head without looking at him, still walking at the same speed.
Andrea got out of her cover, sighing as she picked up the dead female guard's MAC-11 sub machine gun, saddened by the death of the guard, Haley.
Daryl, Chris, and Merle made it to the group, seeing them ready to go.
"Let's get the fuck out of here!" Chris said.
"Hurry!" Jeremie added.
The group quickly retreated, running out of the area as the Governor watched with a blank look on his face...
It was impossible to tell what the Governor was thinking, but you could guess it wasn't good...
The group eventually made it to Woodbury's main street, still hearing lots of gunfire coming from the warehouses, along with people's screams... The group ran for the wall, all wanting to get the hell out of town.
"They're all at the arena! This way!" Merle said, gesturing towards the wall.
"Fuck you! You're not coming with us after everything you did!" Aelita growled.
"You really wanna do this NOW?!" Merle asked, annoyed.
Merle got in between two buses that helped make up the wall, and he started violently kicking a panel of the large sheet metal that made up the first layer. The group nervously kept guard, knowing the noise would soon attract someone.
"Come on, man..." Daryl said.
They then saw Merle get the panel open. Dylan shook Jeremie's shoulder, getting his attention.
"Jer, come on! We need to go!" Dylan stated.
The group then started going through the opened panel, one by one, and they saw Merle was already outside of the wall. He was on a walker, bashing it's brains in with his metal blade-holder, and as several dozen more walkers slowly approached from close up, and far away.
He had an annoyed look as he turned to look at the group.
"A little help would be nice!" Merle said, sarcastically.
The group ran out to help Merle. And that was a situation most of them never even THOUGHT of doing... Seriously. Saving MERLE DIXON...?
But the group pushed that thought out of their minds and started helping him. Aelita and Dylan stood back to back, shooting at whatever walkers approached. Rick and Maggie also shot at some, along with Ulrich.
After a few seconds, Merle had a look of annoyance and anger as they stood where they were.
"We ain't got time for this!" Merle stated.
Merle then took off running towards the forest. Daryl ran after him, stopping only to look at the group.
"Let's go!" Daryl said.
Daryl took off running after his brother as Dylan and Aelita looked at Rick, knowing his reply would be they had to deal with Merle. At least for now. However, as the group ran off, a single walker walked to the opening and opened it even more, growling as he went inside. Several other walkers followed the first inside...
Woodbury's walls were now compromised...
At the prison, Tess had a smile on her face as Luke held her hand, leading her somewhere. Carlos was also with them, thankfully not holding anyone's hand.
"Baby, where are you taking me?" Tess asked.
"You'll see, Tessie..." Luke replied.
Tess giggled and looked at Carlos.
"Where are we going, Carlos?" Tess asked.
"I'm just here to make sure everything goes smoothly." Carlos replied, cryptically.
"What do you mean?" Tess asked.
Luke then stopped them in front of a closed door.
"Tess, could you go inside?" Luke asked.
"Luke...? What is this...?" Tess asked.
Luke smiled, warmly.
"It's a surprise... Look, no matter what, just stay calm for me, okay?" Luke asked.
Tess smiled, nodding back. She trusted Luke completely.
"Okay..." Tess replied.
Luke nodded as Tess opened the door and walked inside.
Inside, Tess went wide eyed, seeing Emily in the room with her back turned to her.
"Nick? Honey, can I-" Emily said, turning around.
Emily froze and stopped in mid-sentence, seeing Tess was in the room.
"Tess...? What're you doing here? Where's Nicky?" Emily asked.
Tess was about to reply, but that's when the step-sisters heard the door shut, and also being locked from the outside.
"What the fuck?!" Tess asked.
Tess walked to the door and banged on it.
"Hey! Luke, get me out of here!" Tess yelled.
"Tessie, I love you... But you and Emily are staying in there until you two stop fighting!" Luke said from the other side.
Tess had a furious look as she heard Luke and Carlos walk away...
They left her with EMILY?!
Emily sighed, sitting down in a chair.
"I guess we've gotta talk..." Emily stated.
Tess turned, looking at Emily with a furious look...
But Tess quickly realized she was right...
They were gonna have to talk out all of their differences...
Tess sighed as the furious look disappeared. Tess walked to a chair that was opposite of Emily, and she sat down.
"Alright... I guess we'll talk..." Tess said.
Emily nodded, sighing as well.
"Tess, I'm pregnant..." Emily admitted.
Tess went wide eyed.
Nick got Emily PREGNANT?!
"What?! B- But... What?!" Tess stammered.
Emily looked down, nodding as she gently rubbed her stomach.
"I'm pregnant, Tess... Y- Your baby is going to have a step-sibling..." Emily said, a little nervously.
Tess looked at Emily, still completely shocked...
She was gonna be an aunt...?
AND COULD NICK KEEP HIMSELF FROM GETTING SOMEONE PREGNANT?!
"E- Emmy...?" Tess asked, cautiously.
Emily looked up at Tess, very nervous about what Tess would do or say.
"Y- Yes...?" Emily shakily asked.
Tess gulped.
"I... I'm happy for you..." Tess admitted.
Emily went wide eyed, shocked at what she heard.
Did Tess just say that?!
"W- What...?" Emily asked, cautiously.
"I said I'm happy for you..." Tess said, looking down.
Emily nodded, gently taking her chair and moving it closer to Tess, sitting back down. Emily then looked at Tess again, a serious expression on her face.
"Tess... I really am sorry for what Nick did... But we've got to just... I dunno, put it behind us?" Emily asked.
Tess looked back up at Emily...
She didn't want to admit it... but she knew Emily was right...
The arguments, the fighting... It couldn't last...
"A- Alright..." Tess said.
Emily smiled, gently pulling Tess in for a hug. After a few moments, Tess hugged back, a smile forming on her face...
They were both forgiven...
And then they heard the door unlock...
Anne sat in her and Dylan's cell, patiently awaiting whenever the group would return...
She was praying Dylan wasn't dead, or anyone else...
Anne had a saddened look as she looked at the polaroid pictures of all of her dead friends...
Lori...
T-Dog...
Rebecca Townley...
Charles...
Robert...
Andrea...
Sophia...
Alexandr...
Kyra...
Pete...
And Chase...
Anne got teary-eyed, staring at all of the photos.
She missed them all...
"Are you okay, sweetie...?"
Anne jumped, surprised out of her thoughts and seeing Evonne standing in the doorway.
"Oh! Uh... Hi, mom..." Anne said, looking back down.
Evonne walked inside, sitting down on the bunk Anne was on. Evonne sighed, gently wrapping her arm around Anne's shoulder, hugging her. Anne had a sad and depressed look on her face as she accepted the hug.
"So many of my friends are dead, mommy..." Anne said, sadly.
"I know, sweetie... I'm so sorry..." Evonne said, hugging her tighter.
Anne had a deeply saddened look as she stared at a picture of her, Dylan, Rebecca, and Chase when they all stayed in the store.
"I miss Chase and Rebecca Townley..." Anne said.
"I do too, sweetie... They were good kids..." Evonne replied.
"It's not just that, mom... They were my friends..." Anne said.
Evonne nodded, sighing as she rubbed Anne's back.
"Dylan and the others will be back soon, Annie... I'm sure of it... I'm sure all of them are fine..." Evonne said.
Anne looked down, nodding as she kept staring at the photos...
She would make XANA pay for everything he's done to them...
About an hour later, Glenn and Michonne were still sitting by their vehicle. They went wide eyed, hearing a familiar voice say Glenn's name.
It had to be Ulrich.
"Glenn!" Ulrich quietly yelled.
Glenn and Michonne quickly got up, walking towards the group.
"Guys! Thank god..." Glenn said.
Aelita gulped, running up to them and keeping them away.
"Alright, look, we've got a problem, but I need you guys to stay calm!" Aelita said.
Too late... Glenn and Michonne had furious looks, seeing that Merle Dixon was with the group.
What the fuck?!
Merle smirked back at them as Glenn aimed his gun at him, and Michonne unsheathed her sword.
"What the hell is he doing here?!" Glenn asked.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Rick tried.
"Stop!" Jeremie yelled.
Rick, Jeremie, and Dylan pulled out their guns, taking turns with aiming at Michonne or Merle, trying to keep them away from each other.
"Put the sword down!" Dylan yelled.
"He tried to kill me!" Michonne yelled back.
Daryl and Glenn were also yelling at each other.
"If it wasn't for him-" Glenn said.
"He helped us get outta there!" Daryl snapped.
"Yeah, but that was after he beat the crap out of you and me!" Chris snapped.
Merle smirked at them.
"Hey, all three of us took our licks, man." Merle said.
"Jackass..." Aelita muttered, frowning.
"Hey, shut up!" Merle said.
"ENOUGH!" Rick shouted.
Michonne tried storming towards Merle, but Aelita shoved her M1911 into her face, making her stop.
"Put that down, now!" Aelita ordered.
Daryl looked at Jeremie with a furious look, seeing he was aiming at him.
"GET THAT THING OUT OF MY FACE!" Daryl yelled.
Jeremie lowered his gun as Merle chuckled.
"Man, looks like you've gone native, brother." Merle stated.
"No more than you hanging out with that psycho back there!" Daryl replied, referring to the Governor.
Merle kept smirking.
"Oh, yeah, man. He is a charmer, I got to tell you that." Merle replied, sarcastically.
Merle then looked at Michonne, still smirking.
"Been putting the wood to your girlfriend, Andrea. Big time, baby." Merle joked, giving a jokingly fake moan, as well.
The group went wide eyed, except for Michonne, Ulrich, and Merle...
Andrea was ALIVE...?
"What?" Jeremie asked.
"Wait... Andrea is in Woodbury?" Aelita asked.
Chris nodded in confirmation.
"With the Governor, yes." Chris replied.
Michonne tried going towards Merle again, but Aelita blocked her.
"I fucking said 'drop that'! What part of that do you not understand?!" Aelita roared.
Rick stepped up to Ulrich and Michonne, knowing they both stayed at Woodbury.
"Do you two know Andrea...?" Rick asked.
Ulrich and Michonne remained silent. Ulrich, because he remembered that he completely forgot to mention that. Michonne, because she didn't think she needed to reply.
"Hey, do you know Andrea?" Rick asked, frowning.
"Yep, they do. Blackie and blondie spent all winter cuddling up in the forest. Mm-mmm-mmm... Yeah. My Nubian queen here had two pet walkers. No arms, cut off the jaws, kept them in chains. Kind of ironic, now that I think about it." Merle said, smirking, and joking.
But he wasn't joking about the walkers they found with them...
Daryl frowned at Merle, heavily annoyed by how much of a complete asshole his brother was being.
"Shut up, bro!" Daryl warned.
Merle chuckled.
"Hey, man, we snagged them out of the woods. Andrea was close to dying. And we got Ulrich and his bitch before that, and German boy was close to dying, too." Merle said, chuckling.
Ulrich frowned at Merle, and Maggie stared at him with wide eyes.
"Is that why she's with him?" Maggie asked, referring to Andrea and the Governor.
"Yeah... Snug as two little bugs." Merle replied, smirking still.
Merle looked at Rick, chuckling at the events currently happening.
"So, what you gonna do now, Sherriff, huh? Surrounded by a bunch of liars, thugs, and cowards." Merle said, his smirk fading away.
"Shut up!" Rick growled.
Merle's smirk returned, and he chuckled yet again.
"Oh, man, look at this! Pathetic. All these guns and no bullets in them..." Merle said, his smirk fading in mid-sentence.
"Merle, SHUT UP!" Daryl yelled.
Merle had a furious look as he walked towards Daryl.
"SHUT UP, YOURSELF! Bunch of pussies, you roll-" Merle began.
Merle was finally shut up, but only because Aelita hit him in the back of the head with her pistol, knocking Merle unconscious and making him fall to the ground...
He was annoying the living hell out of her...
Daryl looked at Aelita, seeing she was frowning. Daryl was frowning as well, but he didn't protest at all. Completely agreeing with her about knocking him out, surprisingly.
"Asshole..." Rick muttered, looking down at Merle's unconscious body.
Aelita holstered her pistol, agreeing with Rick's characterization of Merle Dixon...
