The Last of The Walking Dead chapter 9

The odds were against them as Rick, Joel, Lee, Daryl, Glenn, Carl, and Ellie were about to fight for their lives against walkers and clickers.

"So what do we do?" asked Glenn. "You make every shot count" said Joel as he pulled out his revolver. The seven began shooting the infected. Round after round the infected fell but there was so many that the odds of success were slim…..very slim. "Shit there's so many" said Ellie. "Just hold em' off" said Rick as he fired his python at a clicker.

The Governor was watching and he noticed how quickly they were wiping out the infected. So he decided to turn it up a notch.

"I think that's all of them" said Lee. Then one last door opened as a bloater entered the fray. "A bloater are you fucking kidding me?" asked Ellie annoyed. But right before the bloater could attack Firefly soldiers armed with flamethrowers came in and burned it to a crisp. "What the hell?" asked Daryl in confusion.

The Governor then made his grand entrance. "Welcome to what's left of Woodberry ladies and gentlemen" said The Governor. "Now hand over the girl" said The Governor as he pulled out the remote to the rigged explosives. "Not a chance" said Rick. "So be it" said The Governor as he initiated the self-destruct sequence. "WARNING ARMED EXPLOSIVES TO DETONATE IN T MINUS FIVE MINUTES" said the automatic intercom voice. "You son of a bitch" said Joel as he shot the Governor wounding him. "Deal with em" ordered The Governor as he fled to escape.

"AFTER HIM" ordered Rick. Rick then killed the Firefly soldiers and the rest pursuited the wounded governor. "There he is" said Lee as he saw The Governor trying to open the door to freedom. The Governor then made his exit and blocked the door outside so the others wouldn't escape. "DAMN IT HE BLOCKED THE EXIT" said Joel as he and Lee pushed the door open. "How do we get out of here?" panicked Glenn. Carl then noticed a glass window to their left. "We can get out through here" said Carl as he was trying to break the glass window. "BREAK YOU PIECE OF SHIT GLASS BREAK" struggled Ellie as she helped Carl to break the glass. "Joel the saw a brick and tossed it at the window. "GET DOWN" ordered Joel. The window then broke as the seven escaped with just in the nick of time. The Building exploded knocking everyone unconscious.

As the seven got up Rick noticed The Governor crawling away. Rick, Lee, and Joel slowly (Because they were still hurt obviously form the explosion) walked toward the Governor. "WAIT I'm sure we can work this out" reasoned The Governor. "You killed Audrea you killed Merle you killed your own people and you tried to kill mine so what makes you think we'll let you just walk away from that?" asked Rick as he Joel and Lee pulled out their side arms and aimed them at The Governor. "Joel we can still do the right thing here we still have doctors" reasoned The Governor. "You'd just come after her" said Joel as he and the other two killed The Governor.

"Is that it" asked Glenn. "Yeah let's go home" said Lee.

Back at the prison everyone was outside with their cars ready as they hoped to see Rick and the others again. "I SEE THE" said Maggie with glee. As everyone gathered to see the group, Rick, Lee, Joel, Glenn, Daryl, Carl, and Ellie got outside the car (Except Daryl because he rode his motorcycle because he's badass like that) covered in burns and bruises and were ready to head off to Jackson City.

Carley and Clementine ran up to Lee and bear hugged him. Glenn and Maggie hugged each other and kissed. "I told you I'd come back" said Lee. Carley kissed Lee passionately for about thirty seconds. "Lee I'm so glad you came back" said Clementine. "Don't worry sweet pea I'm not leaving you anymore" assured Lee as he hugged Carley and Clem like as if they were a family.

"Alright Joel you're leading the way" said Rick. "Just have everyone follow me we'll get there" assured Joel.

"Alright next stop Jackson city" said Rick as he and everyone got in their cars. Daryl got on his motorcycle and with that said Joel and Ellie led the way to Jackson City.

After hours of being on the road the group finally made it to Jackson City.

Joel and Ellie got out of the car waiting for everyone else to arrive. WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS PRETTY MUCH THE LAST OF ENDING BUT WITH SOME TWEAKS. "Well looks like we're walkin" said Joel. "How far is the town?" asked Hershel. "It should be a straight shot from here" assured Joel. As everyone cut through the woods everyone saw the town. "Wow it's beautiful" said Beth in awe. "We finally found a place to call home" said Rick. "It's finally over" said Lee. "We don't have to fight for anything anymore" said Carol. "That's not true now I have struggled for a long time with survivin' and you….no matter what you always find something to fight for" said Joel. "We'll we found it didn't we?" asked Rick. "I reckon we have" smiled Joel as he and everyone headed toward the gate to Tommy's town.

But Ellie stood there for a minute until Carl saw her. "You commin" asked Carl. "Yeah just…." paused Ellie. "Ellie it's over we're safe now" assured Carl as he was about to get back to the others. "Hey wait" said Ellie. "Yeah" said Carl as he stopped to hear what Ellie had to say. "Remember that night we had where I told you about Riley?" asked Ellie. "What about it?" asked Carl. "Back in Boston back when I was bitten she was there with me and she got bit too. We didn't know what to. She said Y'know we can be all poetic and lose our minds together. She was the first to die then it was Tess and then Sam" explained Ellie."None of that is on you" said Carl. "I guess you can't save them all" said Ellie. "Well ….I saved you didn't I?" asked Carl. "Yeah you did" said Ellie as she gave Carl a kiss on the lips.

ELLIE CARL YOU GUYS COMING?" asked Rick and Joel. "WE'RE COMING" said the two young lovers in unison. "Come on lets go home" said Carl as he extended his hand out to Ellie's. "Yeah let's go" said Ellie as she took Carl's hand and walked back to the others.

Joel and the others were outside the gate when Tommy was on watch duty and noticed his older brother was not alone. "Joel is that you?" asked Tommy. "Tommy open up don't worry about the others they're good folk" assured Joel. Tommy then signaled the gate keeper to open the gate as Tommy welcomed his brother and his people into his town.

"You came back" said Tommy. "Was there any every doubt?" asked Joel. "Course not it's the least I can do after all those years you took care of us" said Tommy. "You folks must be tires and hungry come on inside" welcomed Tommy. Everyone then walked inside into their new home and new life as the gates closed behind them.
