A/N: What's up everybody! :) Firstly, I wanna say thank you for the reviews from last chapter, they're much appreciated as always. Secondly, a good friend of mine/fellow author asked me about TWD comic timeline and where the game stands in there. Well, here it goes, bud: Season 1 takes place before and about a month after Rick wakes up from his coma in the hospital, 400 days happens inbetween Season 1 and after, Season 2 takes place either during or a bit after Rick's group fights Negan and the Saviors, Season 3 takes place before Rick's group meets the Whisperers and Season 4 takes place at least a couple of years after 3. So, all in total, It's been about 8 or 12 years into the apocalypse in the comics timeline.
That's about all I have to share, folks. If anybody wants more info on Halo or TWD comics, TV show or games, let me know. Also, I'm sorry for the really long wait, but I wanted to make this chapter longer and a bit more Intense than last. Plus, my dog had puppies so that took up most of my time. (:
Alright, lets recap everybody: Cal and Clementine made it back to the cabin, had a visit from Carver and taught Sarah how to shoot a gun then the group left the cabin. 5 days passed and the group made it to a bridge where Cal, Clementine and Luke had an encounter with a stranger that Nick ended up killing on accident, then they ran into another group at a ski lodge and Clementine spotted a familiar face among them.
Well, enough of the chit-chat, on with the chapter...
I don't own anything but maybe a few OCS.
Chapter - 4: A house divided - P2.
"Oh my God...Kenny?"
Clementine felt her jaw drop in both shock and awe. Standing amongst the new group of people, while holding a rifle, was none other than Kenny. He now had a grey-black beard across his face that matched with his mustache and wore a green jacket with a white t-shirt underneath and grey pants, along with the same hat and necklace as before.
Hearing his name and a familiar voice, the former fisherman looked over and felt his own jaw drop. "Clementine...?" He said, almost unable to believe his eyes.
"Wait, you know this guy?" Luke asked, looking between the two confusely.
Instead of answering him, Clementine rushed forward and the embraced her long lost friend. The older man returned it in kind, before kneeling down and placed his hand on her shoulder, giving the eleven year old girl a warm smile.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'." A balding, middle aged man with a red sweater on said, smiling at the reunion.
Seeing as Clementine knew someone in this group, Calista approached and asked her charge, "Do you know him, Clem?"
The young girl nodded with a bright smile, but Kenny on the other hand was staring wide eyed at the huge, blonde-haired woman standing next to Clementine. She was by far the tallest person, he'd ever seen in his life and it made him tense up a bit at the sight of her.
The eleven year old must've noticed, "It's okay, Kenny, she's my friend." She said, reasurringly.
The former fisherman stared at Cal for a few more seconds in silence, before he finally spoke, "Alright, we'll talk this over inside."
"Great, I just started dinner." The red sweater man said, clearly excited at the fact of meeting new and nice people for once.
"Are you sure, you're okay with this?" Carlos asked carefully.
"It's gonna storm soon." He replied, "Please, come in."
The group, while a little reluctant, followed the other group Inside the ski lodge. Upon entering, they were stunned by how large and roomy it was from the Interior. There was also a fireplace, decorations such as Christmas lights dotted the whole place and a huge Christmas standing tall off to the side, along with melodious music playing in the background.
"Kenny and Sarita have been staying with us for several weeks. It used to be a ski lodge obivously, so we have plenty of food and believe or not; we still get a bit of power from that wind torbine outside." The red sweater man, now known as Walter said. "We tend to keep most of the lights off at night to avoid drawing any unwanted attention."
As Walter was speaking, Kenny looked at Clementine and Cal, mimicking Walter talking and made the young girl giggle quietly in her hand.
"What's so funny?" Walter asked confused.
"Oh, nothing, Walt." The former fisherman responded with a smile, before walking up to him and patting his friend on the back. "Walter here is one smart son of a bitch and makes a mean can of beans too."
Walter chuckled and said, "Well, why don't you two go catch up, while I get some dinner started."
The rest of the group walked in with everybody looking around the ski lodge in amazment as Walter said, "Please make yourself's at home, you leave your things over there on that bench by the door."
Rebecca glared at him, "The hell we will."
"You're our guest here." Walter told her gently. "There's no need to worry."
"Tell him to put his down then." Nick says, gesturing towards Kenny.
Walter glanced at the man beside him. "Kenny?"
The Florida man glared at the group for a moment, before looking at Clementine and asked, "Will you vouch for the rest of these people, Clem? If you tell me they're good then I'm good."
"Hey, fuck you, buddy!" Nick says angrily. "We can speak for ourselves and don't need a little kid to vouch for any of us. Besides, you're the one waving a gun around."
"Nick." Luke hissed at his friend, before turning to Kenny and said in a more calmer tone, "It's alright, we're cool and won't cause any trouble."
"Yeah, they're cool." Clementine says, glancing at both groups with a slightly nervous expression. Inwardly hoping, Nick doesn't do something stupid again.
"They're good people." Cal states, backing her charge up and sending a warning glare towards Nick, making said young man gulp and hide behind his friends in fear of the female Spartan's wrath.
Kenny debated for a few seconds, before finally deciding to set his rifle down on the bench. Luke, Alvin, Rebecca and Nick did the same as Carlos, Sarita and Sarah walked in.
"Wow." The teenager whispered in awe. "Look, daddy, a Christmas tree!"
"Sarah, not now." Carlos softly chided.
"Isn't great? We find it in storage." Sarita says with a warm smile. "If you all will come with me, I'll show you where you can sleep."
The group followed after Sarita as she lead them to the few extra rooms left in the ski lodge. As that was happening, Kenny glanced at Clementine with a smile, "Meet me over there, so we can catch up." He said, pointing to the couch by the fireplace.
The young girl nodded as the older man walked away, she then turned her Spartan guardian and said, "I'm gonna go talk to Kenny, I'll be right back."
The female Spartan gave her an understanding nod as the eleven year old headed over to where Kenny was sitting. Gazing around at everyone in the ski lodge, Cal decided to speak with Walter first as a means of getting acquainted with the new people.
Clementine sat opposite from Kenny on the couch in the living room, the warm glow of the fire giving it an Inviting feeling. The two merely stared at each other for a moment, not sure exactly sure what to say.
"Still wearin' this dirty old thing, huh?" The former fisherman teased, raising his right hand and tapping the tip of Clementine's hat, getting a smile from the young girl. "You know, I half expected to see Lee walk up next to you. You guys were like two peas in a pod." Suddenly, Kenny's smile dropped once he realized what he just said, "Oh, shit. I didn't mean too-" The Florida man let out a sigh and said, "I'm sorry, Clem, It's just hard not to think about it; you know?"
The eleven year old looked down with a gloomy expression, before glancing back up at Kenny and said, "He saved me."
"I knew it. I knew he would. That guy had a fire in him as sure as shit." Kenny said, smiling bright and continued, but in a more saddened tone. "He was a hell of a guy and a bestfriend that anybody could have. When my son got bitten and passed on, Lee took care of him, so I wouldn't have too. I'll never forget that." The older man shook off the painful memories and then asked, "So, where you'd end up?"
"I was with Christa and Omid. Omid didn't make it...then Christa and I was together for a while, but we got attacked by these bandits and now she's gone." Clementine explained, a deep sorrow clawing at her heart for all of the friends she had lost. "They're both gone now."
"Sounds like It ain't been easy for you." Kenny said, feeling bad for not being there for the eleven year old when she needed it most. "I'm sorry, darlin'. I wish I had found you sooner."
The young girl smiled softly and says, "It hasn't been too bad. I did meet my friend, Calista."
"Calista?" The former fisherman said confused. "Who's that?"
Clementine simply pointed behind him at the tall woman that was speaking with Walter, "That's Calista." She said. "She saved me from drowning in a river and has been looking after me ever since, I trust her with my life."
"I'm glad to hear that." Kenny responds sincerely with a smile, while Inwardly, he felt a bit wary around the female Spartan and mainly because she gave off an air like that of Lilly. Lord knows he doesn't need to deal with somebody like that again, but If Clementine trust her enough with her life, why couldn't he? He'll just have to keep an open mind.
"Where have you been, Kenny? Christa told me, you were dead." The young girl asked, breaking the older man from his thoughts.
"Ah, hell. All over after Savannah." Kenny answered with a small shrugg, before saying. "It all started, when I tried to save that fuckin' shit bird, Ben, then it turned into a damn cluster..." He shook his head and continued talking. "I couldn't help the kid, but I got out and long story short, I got really lucky. I spent a long time alone after that and It took its toll on my mind, I was seeing things and people who weren't there, some crazy shit."
Clementine felt pity for her friend, It looks like she isn't the only one who's suffering from a tremendous loss. "What brought you back?" She asked curiously.
"Sarita helped me a lot, she's a Godsend." The former fisherman said, before smiling at eleven year old. "Gosh, It's great to have you back, Clem."
"I see that you two are catching up." The duo looked up to see a middle aged woman of Indian descent approached them, a warm smile gracing her features.
"Clem, meet my girl, Sarita." Kenny Introduced, giving said woman a happy grin, "Ain't she beautiful."
Sarita rolled her eyes playfully at the Florida man, before greeting Clementine, "It's nice to finally meet you, Clementine."
"Likewise." The young girl said with a smile.
"Hey Walt, where's Matthew?" Kenny asked, "Is he still outside rootin' around?"
"Of course he is." Walter replied with a smile, while stirring some beans. "Dinner's almost done, so he should be back any minute."
Just at the moment, Luke, Nick, Carlos and Sarah walked in after getting set up in their rooms. "Carlos, right? Mind If I steal your daugther for a secret mission." Sarita asked, smiling warmly at Sarah.
The teenager looked towards her father with pleading eyes and asked, "Can I help, dad?"
The doctor let out a sigh and said; "Alright, but stay in sight, sweetie."
Sarah beamed at that, before following Sarita elsewhere as Luke asked, "Is there anything me and Nick can do?"
"We can use a hand out back, we have a lot of supplies to bring, before that storm hits." Kenny says.
"Sure." Luke said with a nod, before heading out, along with Nick.
When they left, Kenny looked to Clementine and said, "Clem, why don't you go help Walter and your friend with dinner."
"Okay." The young girl said with a nod and smile as Kenny left to go help Luke and Nick with the supplies outside, before she walked over to the cafeteria that Walter and Calista were at, where the older man was prepping dinner for everybody. The female Spartan saw her charge approach and asked, "Did you get all caught up with Kenny?"
"I did, he seems different now, happier." The eleven year old says.
"I couldn't Imagine how much pain he felt after losing his family." Cal-141 said sympathically. "It must've been devastating."
"It was..." Clementine replied sadly, "After it happened, he started drinking and all he cared about was finding a boat...but that didn't work out to well."
"You must be Clementine." Walter spoke up as he was adding some salt into the pot of beans, "Kenny has told me a lot about you, are you settling in well enough?"
"Yeah, thanks for asking." The young girl said, turning her attention towards the older man.
"Excellent." Walter responded, giving her a warm smile. "Want to help prepare a little dinner? I asked your tall friend here, but she politely declined."
Clementine peaked into the pot and asked curiously. "What is it?"
"Mush." Walter answered with a chuckle, before elucidating further. "It's peaches and beans, It's all we got."
"It's better then nothing." The eleven year old says with a frown. "It's hard out there for everyone, especially when it comes to finding food."
"I can Imagine. It's hard enough for an adult, much less a kid." Walter said, feeling a bit of heartache for everybody that's out there trying to survive as best as one could. He than glanced at one of the bean cans and let out a laugh, before picking it up and showing Clementine. "Striking resemblance, huh."
Clementine pouted at being compared to a bean can logo again. Seriously, did she look like that girl or...wait a minute. That can looks similar to the ones she and Calista found back at that house by the bridge.
"Clem, may I speak with you in private." Cal asked.
The young girl was about to ask why, but seeing as her Spartan guardain had a serious look and her tone of voice was urgent as well, It must be really important.
"I wonder what's the matter?" Clementine thought in both confusion and worry, before she nodded at Cal-141 and said, "Sure."
After telling Walter they'll be back in a few minutes, Clementine and Calista headed outside of the ski lodge by the entrance. "What's wrong?" The young girl asked, worriedly.
Making sure nobody was listening in on their conversation, Cal turned to her charge and told her, "Clem, I believe the stranger that we met on the bridge was Walter's friend, Matthew."
Clementine's eyes went wide, before she asked, "Are you sure? How do you know that?"
"When I asked who Matthew was and what he looked like, Walter's description matched that of the stranger." The female Spartan explained, "If I am correct than Nick's in for some serious trouble."
"What are we gonna do?" The eleven year old asked in concern, briefly glancing inside the ski lodge just as Luke, Kenny and Nick walked in from the back carrying some boxes. "If Matthew doesn't come back soon, Walter and the others will suspect something's up."
"We do nothing for now, but we'll need to speak with Luke and Nick about it later." Cal says. "We'll come up with a plan on how to tell Walter then and hopefully, he'll understand that it was an accident and Nick acted on Impluse." She added.
Feeling a bit of trepidation, Clementine glanced inside the ski lodge and saw Nick having a friendly chat with Walter, along with Luke. The young girl wondered, how the older man would react, If he knew that Nick had killed his friend.
"Do you think Walter will kill Nick?" Clementine Inquired, looking up at her Spartan guardian.
Calista shook her head and admitted; "I don't know, he doesn't seem like the type to seek revenge, but from what I could gather...Walter and Matthew were more than just friends."
With that being said, the duo headed back in the ski lodge where Sarah spotted them and ran over to the two with an excited look, "Hey Clem, you wanna help me and Sarita out with the Christmas tree?"
Temporaily forgetting about Matthew, the young girl smiled at Sarah and nodded, before following the teenager over to the tree and started putting up some ornaments. Cal smiled a little in amusement, before walking over and stood next to Sarita as Clementine put a few colorful bulbs on a tree limb.
"It's so nice, seeing kids being kids for once." Sarita says with a smile, "Don't you agree?" She asked, glancing up at the female Spartan.
"I do." Cal replied as she gazed at the Christmas tree, It had been a really long time since she last seen one and was almost in awe of it at first sight.
Putting up the last of the ornaments, Sarah and Clementine stood back to admire their work. "All we need now is an angel on top." The teenage girl said with a huge smile.
"There should be 3 of them in a box upstairs." Sarita says.
"I'll go get it." Clementine said, before she headed upstairs. Once she made it up, the eleven year old was a bit surprised to see Carlos, Alvin and Rebecca already there. They were currently in the middle of a discussion.
"That's crazy. Why would they follow us this far?" Rebecca asked, while sitting on the edge of a spare bed that Walter had given to her and Alvin.
"It's been a week, man. We gotta be outta of the woods." Alvin said as Clementine joined in on the conversation with a curious look.
"We can't be too sure. They might be tracking us." Carlos responded, crossing his arms and leaning against the rail.
"Tracking?" Alvin said with an expression and tone of disbelief. "Who do you think they are, ninjas?"
Rebecca scowled at him for a moment, before glancing at Clementine and asked, "Clem. Luke said you and Calista saw some people in the valley?"
"People? Way down there? How?" Her husband questioned.
"She has binoculars, genius." Rebecca sarcastically replied, whilst rolling her eyes.
"It could've been anyone." Clementine said with a small shrugg, even though she wasn't really sure herself.
"Yeah, anyone. See?" Alvin reasoned.
"That also means It could've been them." Carlos pointed out, "We're not taking any chances. We leave at dawn."
"But we're safe here for tonight, right?" Rebecca asked, glancing at both men with a worried look.
Alvin and Carlos remained silent at that, unsure of what to say or how to answer, before the doctor turned and asked Clementine. "Clem, you and Calista talk to that man Walter, right? What did he say? You two didn't tell him anything about us, did you?"
"We mainly just talked about his friend, Matthew." The eleven year old responded.
Alvin sighed, "Look, I don't care what that man said, we're staying here tonight and that's final. I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get us some water." He said and then walked away, before anybody could reply.
Carlos shook his head and left as well. Rebecca looked down with a tired expression on her face as Clementine glanced at the older woman with a worried look and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Uh?" Rebecca said, glancing at the eleven year old confusely, before shaking her head and replied. "Oh, I'm okay, Clem. I'm just tired is all."
Clementine nodded, but still felt worry for Rebecca, despite how the older woman treated her and Calista in the past week.
Rebecca must've noticed, because she gave the eleven year old a warm smile surprisingly. "I appreciate your concern, Clementine." She said, before she paused for a moment and then continued, "Listen, Clem, I'm so sorry for how I treated you and your friend when you first showed up back at the cabin."
"It's ok, you were just worried for your baby." The young girl says with a smile, "I probably would've acted the same way If some strangers wanted to stay in my house."
The older woman gave her another warm smile, "You're a good kid, Clem. I'm happy you didn't let this world bring you down completely." She said genuinely, before suddenly putting her hands on her pregnant belly. "The baby's kicking. Wanna feel?"
Clementine was a little hesitant at first, but obliged; she gently put her ear on Rebecca's belly and sure enough, the young girl felt a bit of movement from within. A bright smile found it's way on Clem's face as the baby did a few kicks.
"He or she's gonna be a runner." Rebecca says with a laugh.
"What do you think it's gonna be?" Clementine asked curiously.
"I think it's gonna be a boy and Alvin says it's gonna be a girl, but that big dope couldn't tell his own elbow from his ass to save his life." The older woman replies with a mischievous smirk, making the young girl giggle, "So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
"Wait for what?" They looked over and saw Alvin approached them with two cups of water in each hand.
"What do you think? The soon-to-be-here baby, you big goof." Rebecca responded playfully, making her husband roll his eyes and smile at her, before handing the older woman a cup of water. Alvin shifted his attention towards Clementine and gratefully said, "Thanks for keeping Rebecca company for me, Clem, I apprentice it."
"No problem." The young girl said with a nod and smile, before walking over to a box sitting by the landing that had what she originally came up here for. She looked inside and saw 3 different christmas tree topper: an angel, a red bulb and a star. The eleven year old decided the angel topper would look best and chose it. Clementine walked over to the rail and carefully placed the angel on the top of the tree.
"She looks so cool." Sarah said, while gazing at the topper in awe.
"And beautiful." Sarita added, smiling. "I've always loved this time of year."
"I always loved getting presents the most." Sarah replied, before glancing up at Cal-141 and asked, "What do you like about Christmas, Calista?"
The female Spartan was silent for a moment, before responding; "I don't know. I haven't celebrated Christmas or any holiday for a really long time."
"Why?" The teenager asked curiously. "Did something bad happen?"
"...Somethings are better left unknown, Sarah." Cal replied cryptically.
Sarah looked at her confused, wondering what she meant by that, but didn't ask anything. Mainly, because her daddy told her that it was rude to ask someone about something that might be considered private to them.
"Dinner's done everybody!" Walter called out.
Clementine came down and joined up with her Spartan guardian, before they headed over to the dinning area, "I overheard you speaking with the others upstairs. Is something wrong?" Calista asked her charge.
"They think Carver may have follow us up here. I told them, It could've been anyone, but I don't know if I'm right or not." The eleven year old replied in an unsure tone. "What do you think?"
"It's a possibility, especially If he believes Rebecca's carrying his child." The female Spartan said, "We'll have to keep our eyes and ears open for any sigh of trouble."
The dinning area was centered in the middle of the ski lodge and had 2 large picnic tables adjacent from eachother. Luke, Alvin, Nick, Carlos, Sarah and Rebecca sat at the one on the left while Kenny, Walter and Sarita sat at the one on the right.
Luke sat down across from Nick and noticed his friend had a depressed look on face, "You alright, man?" He asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm just...I don't feel well." Nick replied downcasted.
"It'll be okay, Nick." Luke assured his friend gently, but Inwardly wondered what was bothering him. Maybe, he was feeling regret about what happened on the bridge. The young man than looked over and saw Clementine, along with Calista, approaching the dinning area. He went to call them over, but Kenny beat him to it. "Right here, Clem." The former fisherman called out, waving the two over to his table with a smile.
Clementine glanced between the two tables for a few moments, before choosing to sit with Kenny at his table Instead. Sure, she wanted to sit with her new friends, but she and Kenny were also good friends and had history together. Sadden, Luke turned away as Cal and Clementine sat down at Kenny's table. "Here you go, Clem." Walter said, passing the eleven year old a bowl of beans. He offered Cal a bowl, but she politely declined.
The group ate in comfortable silence, before Kenny spoke up breaking the quietness. "Sooo, Calista, right? Where are you from?" The Florida man asked, curious of the really tall woman.
"Paradise Falls, sir." The female Spartan responded.
"Hmm, Paradise Falls. I never heard of that place. Is it far from here?" Walter asked.
"I would assume so, sir."
Kenny shook his head, It seem like getting straight answers out of her was going to be harder than he thought. "You don't say much do you?"
"I mostly let my actions speak for me." Calista replied, earning a knowning smile from Clementine and confused looks from Kenny, Walter, and Sarita.
"What did you do, before the world ended?" Sarita Inquired.
"With your height, I'm willing to bet you played basketball for the pros." Kenny joked; getting an elbow jab to the ribs and a scolding look from his girlfriend. Clementine was also curious about what her Spartan guardian did before the walkers came.
"I served with the United Nations Space Command or UNSC for short." Cal answered.
The group exchanged looks with each other, "Space? So you were like an astronaut?" Kenny asked, his expression knitted in confusion, mainly because he never heard of the UNSC.
The female Spartan paused at that, It would seem like her theory was proven correct. Two days ago, Calista had come to the conclusion that she was on another earth or universe all together when she asked Luke what happened to the military during the outbreak. He explained that the army was overun within the first few days, something Cal found rather ridiculous. How could an advanced military such as the UNSC be taken out by mindless corpses? Then she asked Luke what year it was and he said it was around: 2006.
Upon hearing that, It shocked Cal tremendously, but it also made sense. The weapons she was using now were extremely outdated, compared to the weapons Cal was familiar with back home. In fact, most of the objects she has seen so far were outdated by hundreds of years. How Calista ended up in this world is completely unknown, but it doesn't matter anymore, she has a little girl to protect and care for.
"In a way, sir, yes." The female Spartan finally answered Kenny after a minute of silence.
"What's it like in space?" Clementine asked, her eyes shinning with curiosity and wonder.
Her Spartan guardian smiled at her, "It's amazing, like an ocean of stars as far as the eye could see." She said; "Truly, a beautiful sight to behold."
"In that case, I wish we had some astronaut food because these peaches and beans, while good for nutrition, aren't too good on the way out I tell ya." Kenny said, before laughing up a storm, earning slightly disgusted looks from both Clementine and Calista.
The former fisherman finished laughing and motioned towards Luke and the others sitting at the second table. "So, Clem. I was wondering what's the deal with that kid, what's his name, Luke. Is he in charge of that group? Do you and Calista trust him?" He asked.
"Kenny, please..." Sarita says exasperated.
"Sarita, we don't know those folks." Kenny responds sternly.
"They seem nice to me." His girlfriend replies with a shrugg.
"Yeah, so do gators till they bite your damn arm off." The Florida man asserted.
"I don't know." Clementine said, briefly glancing at the others at the other table, before turning back to Kenny. "We've only known them for a while."
"And so far, they haven't done anything to warrant mistrust." Cal adds.
Kenny nodded at that, before gesturing towards Alvin. "That guy...Alvin, I think. He said they were on the run."
"Some bad people are after them." The eleven year old replied grimly, while finishing up her dinner and pushing the empty bowl aside.
"Well, you and Calista don't have to worry about that anymore." Kenny assured her, "They can go tomorrow and you two can stay here with us." He suggested with a smile.
"If that's what they want, Kenny." Sarita says.
"Clementine would wanna stay. I don't know about Calista, but she's more than welcomed." The former fisherman replied to his girlfriend, before glancing back at Clementine and awaited her answer.
The eleven year old looked hesitant and worried, not because she didn't want to stay with Kenny, she did; she was more worried about the others. Would they be safe without them? Luke, Alvin, Carlos and Nick, despite him being short tempered, were pretty smart and could keep an eye on everybody in their group. They survived this far didn't they.
Clementine glanced up at Calista for support and gave her a look that said, "What do you think? Should we stay here?"
Her Spartan guardian smiled at her and said. "It's your decision, Clem, and whatever it is, I'll be with you every step of the way."
The young girl smiled back, really glad there's somebody that doesn't treat her like a kid, before she went into thought about her decision. And after a few seconds of silent debating/thinking, Clementine finally made her choice, before she looked at Kenny with a smile and said. "We'll stay Kenny. Thank you."
"Of course, Clem. Man, this almost like a dream. I'm so happy right now, I can't even tell ya!" The former fisherman says in a happy tone, earning a giggle from Sarita.
It wasn't long until both of the groups finished their dinner with Walter and Sarita volunteering to take everybody's bowls in order to clean them later then Luke, along with Nick, came over to Kenny's table with Luke sitting across from Clementine while Nick sat across from Kenny beside Calista. As Luke sat down, he gave Clementine a look that made her glance down in guilt. The eleven year old wondered, how Luke would react If he knew that she and Calista were staying here.
"Hey there." Kenny greeted, starting up a conversation. "Hope y'all like the food."
"It's good, a lot better than what's out there." Luke said with a small grin, before asking him, "So, what's your plan? Hold up here for the winter?"
"Actually, we were thinkin' of move on. Somewhere up north." The Florida man answered, "Have any of you heard of a place called Wellington?"
Both Clementine and Cal nodded at Kenny as Luke asked confusely. "Wellington? What's that? Is a place?"
"Yep, It's supposed to be a big camp near Michigan." The former fisherman replied.
"Michigan?" Nick said, Incredulously.
"You got a hearing problem, kid? Yeah, Michigan." Kenny responded, glancing at everybody at the table with a hopeful expression. "Think about it. Fresh water, lots of land, and cold ass winters, so the walkers get slow."
"Sounds like bullshit." Nick stated.
Kenny scowled at him, "Listen, Vanilla Ice, I don't know what your deal is, but you're more than welcomed to leave in the morning." He said angrily.
"Well that'd be just fine by me, because I highly doubt a place like 'Wellington' is even real." The younger man retorted. "You'll be chasing nothing, but a fuckin' fairy tail in a hopeless world."
"Nick, stop." Luke warned sternly.
The former fisherman fumed, "What's up the deal with this guy, Clem?" Kenny asked of the young girl, who looked a little bit scared that the group was arguing at the moment.
Nick was about to say something else, most likely to curse Kenny out, but Cal quickly cut him off after seeing her charge frighted by the yelling.
"Enough!" The female Spartan spoke up, glaring at Nick and cutting the tension like a hot knife through butter. "The world's in bad shape, yes, but there's always a light at the end of every tunnel, Nick. So, If there's a possiblity that civilization still thrives, why not take it. You have no right to diminish someone of their hopes." She said. "Hope is one thing that nobody can take away from you, especially during times like these."
Clementine gave her Spartan guardian a grateful look and also felt awed by her speech, It reminded her of something similiar that Lee told her at Crawford years ago. If only Lee were here now to hear it, he would've felt the same way.
"Gentlemen, please." Walter said calmly as he walked towards the table. "There's no need for the fighting. We're all friends here."
"Whatever." Nick grumbles, before getting up and leaving elsewhere with Luke following from behind.
Kenny shook his head, "Can you pass me that extra can, Duck." He asked of Clementine, but accidently mistook her for his deceased son. The eleven year old went wide eyed as the former fisherman gasped at his mistake and Immediately became sadden.
"Kenny..." The young girl softly said, but the man didn't reply, just looked sad and depressed.
Seeing as Kenny needed some space to himself, Cal-141 took Clementine and both headed outside with Walter to scout for any troublesome walkers.
The trio walked outside of the ski lodge as Walter glanced at Clementine and let out a tired sigh, "I'm sorry about that, Clem and you too, Calista." He apologized. "When I was a teacher, I knew what it was like to be caught inbetween two cliques. I suspect they'll find common ground soon. It may take a little time, but that's just how these things work." The former teacher says, before giving the eleven year old a reasurring smile. "Everything will be fine."
Clementine nodded, also giving Walter a smile, before she and Cal followed him around to the side of the ski lodge. "That was quite a speech you gave, Calista." The former teacher said, looking at the female Spartan in approval. "I must say I'm impressed."
"Thank you, sir." Cal says. "It's always important to have a bit of hope, especially with how grim the world is now."
"You're absolutely right, Calista." Walter commended with a smile, before saying. "They say the world is over, but I'll tell you both a secret; It's not. People are more political now then they were before. In the end, we can't change the world. All we can do is continue to learn from each other, to empathize and use our heads."
"Those are wise words, sir." The female Spartan remarked.
"Definitely." Clementine agreed.
As they turned a corner, the trio were Immediately surprised to discover a red-haired woman peeking through one of the windows in the ski lodge. Cal narrowed her eyes and was about apprehend her, but Walter stopped her by placing his hand on her arm and shook his head, before addressing the unknown woman. "Miss?" He spoke up.
Startled, the mystery woman spun around and quickly put her hands in the air, her eyes going wide at the sight of the trio. "Please, do you have any food?" She asked nervously with a southern accent.
"Are you okay?" The former teacher asked concerned.
"I saw the house and I...please, I have a family and we're starving." The unknown woman pleaded. "We live downhill from here and we're really desperate, please?"
"Of course," Walter says, nodding sympathetically. "Don't why you come in, miss?..."
"Bonnie." The woman, now known as Bonnie, Introduced herself.
"Bonnie, like I said, why don't you come inside and we'll get you settled with some supplies." The former teacher offered kindly.
"I don't know, sir, she could be a threat." Calista stated, glaring suspiciously at Bonnie, making the other woman back up a step in a bit of fear.
"Calista's right, we should check her for weapons." Clementine said, while crossing her arms with a worried expression.
"She looks pretty harmless to me." Walter responds, gesturing to Bonnie.
"Looks can be deceiving, sir." The female Spartan counters cautiously, keeping her glare on Bonnie as said woman frowned slightly.
Walter sighs and replies, "Okay, how about I bring out a box of supplies out for her Instead, deal?"
"That would be preferable." Cal says.
The former teacher nods, before heading back inside the ski lodge to get the supplies, leaving Clementine and Calista alone with Bonnie. The red-haired woman meekly crosses her arms and glances at the area around her nervously, before looking back at the two people in front of her, "It sure is chilly out here." She states in an attempt to be friendly.
Both Clementine and Calista remain silent, causing Bonnie to feel a bit more nervous, before she kneeled down and asked Clementine kindly. "How old are you, sweetie?"
"I'm 11." The young girl answered, although, she didn't trust this woman and was wary of her, It didn't hurt to be a little nice to her.
"I would've thought you were older than that." Bonnie chuckled as she stood back up, before turning her attention towards Cal-141. "I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but you're by far the biggest person I've ever seen, lady." She says; "Biters probably run away at the very sight of ya." She adds while letting out a small and timid laugh.
The female Spartan didn't reply to that, only continued to glare at Bonnie distrustfully. There something off about this woman and Calista feel it in her bones.
Bonnie fidgeted under Cal's intense stare, she felt like the Spartan was going to rip her head off at any moment and use it to beat her to death with it. That thought alone made the red-haired woman scared for her well being.
Another minute passes by, before Walter finally appears back outside with a large box of food to give to Bonnie along with Kenny towing behind him, rifle in hand and a suspicious look on his face.
"Walt, I still don't know about this." The former fisherman says warily. "She could be a scout for another group or worse."
"You've gotta lighten up a little, Kenny. Not every survivor we stumble across is a psychopath." Walter affirmed strongly.
"Fine...but I'd sleep way better tonight, If you had just told her get lost instead." Kenny mumbles, before standing next to Clementine and Calista as Walter walked over to Bonnie and handed her the box of food.
The red-haired woman gave Walter a shocked look at the amount of food in the box and asked him, "Ain't this a bit much?"
"Nonsense, take as much as you need." The former teacher said, giving her a warm smile. "It should last you awhile."
"Wow, thank you, all of you." Bonnie told them gratefully, before departing elsewhere.
Cal watched Bonnie leave into the cold and dark forest, still very much suspicious of her. The Spartan Instincts of Calista told her that the red-haired woman was full of it and will come back armed with others, but the female Spartan decided to table it for now; she'll do a recon of the area later and find out If Bonnie was being honest or not.
"Clem, why don't you head inside and get settled down for the night." Kenny suggests. "While me and your friend make sure there's nobody else hiding out here."
The eleven year old glanced at him, before turning to Calista with a concerned expression.
The female Spartan could sense her worry. "It's alright, Clem, I'll be fine." She assured her charge, "Go on in and get some sleep."
Clementine nodded at her Spartan guardian, before heading back inside the ski lodge.
As Clementine entered back Inside the ski lodge, she noticed most of the lights were either dimmed down or turned off so as to not draw any wrong attention from outside. The young girl went over to the couch by the fireplace to get some rest for the night, but halted when she heard, "Psssh."
Confused, Clementine looked around for the sourse and spotted Luke standing by a support beam, waving her over in an urgent manner. Even more confused, the eleven year old obliged and walked up to him, "What's wrong, Luke?"
"Clem, the guy that we met on the bridge was Walter's boyfriend." He answers, before showing her a picture of Walter and an all too familar asian man in a black hoodle together with happy smiles and their arms wrapped around each other shoulders.
"Calista was right, it was him." Clementine thought worriedly as she gazed at the picture more closely. Although, It was couple of years old, there was no doubt that it was Matthew standing beside Walter.
"We've gotta keep this hidden from Walter and Nick." Luke said with a serious tone. "If Walter finds out, Nick will be in big trouble."
Clementine shakes her head, disputing that idea and says, "We should tell him."
"Nick killed his boyfriend and you wanna tell him?" Luke questioned, giving her a skeptical glare.
"It's the right thing to do." The young girl replied. "Maybe, Walter will understand."
"Understand what?"
Luke and Clementine looked over as Nick approached, "What's up, guys?" He Inquired, smiling at them. "What are you two doing up so late?"
"Oh, nothing really." Luke told him, letting out a slightly nervous chuckle. "Me and Clem were just chatting is all."
"You sure, man?" Nick asked, "It seems pretty serious."
Luke tried to come up with a response, but Clementine Interrupted him. "We have something to tell you." She said, her tone and expression serious, before the eleven year old walked up to Nick and showed him the picture of Walter and Matthew.
The young man gazed at the photo for a few moments, before his eyes widen as realization struck him and he recognized the second man in the picture. "Oh my God, oh fuck..."
"Nick, keep it down." Luke whispered, anxiously taking a quick glance around to make sure nobody else was up. "Do you want Walter to find us!?"
"I've gotta tell him, Luke!" Nick blurted out. "This has been bothering ever since we came here, I've gotta tell Walter." He added/admitted.
"No, Nick, that's a really bad idea!" His friend objected. "Who knows how he'll react-"
"You should tell him." Clementine said, cutting Luke off and causing him to narrow his eyes at her questioningly. "He'll understand it was an accident and you didn't meant to shoot Matthew." She adds.
"You're right, Clem, I should." Nick said, running a hand over his face and letting out a tired sigh. "If Walter does decide he wants to kill me, I won't fight him."
"I don't know about this..." Luke says worriedly.
"Get over it, Luke." Nick said, giving his friend an agitated look, before turning and walking away.
Luke watched him leave for a moment, until he suddenly remembered something, before he glanced at Clementine and asked. "Say Clem, don't you still have that knife you and Calista found?"
The young girl nodded, "Yeah."
"You might wanna hide it, because if Walter sees it, he'll probably think you did something to his boyfriend instead of Nick." Luke says, before he turned and walked away as well.
Deciding to follow his advice, Clementine headed over to the bench where everybody's stuff was sitting, but was a little confused when she saw her that backpack had been opened. The young girl walked over to it, picked up and looked inside to see Matthew's knife gone.
"Oh no, where Is it?" Clementine thought, frantically looking around for the weapon, but then stopped once she spotted Walter outside of the ski lodge standing by the railing; his back was turned to her and he appeared to be staring at something in his hands.
Feeling a sense of dread forming in her stomach, Clementine gulped, before approaching the entrance to the ski lodge and walked outside. Walter didn't seem to acknowledge the eleven year old at first, he was too transfixed on the object in his hand.
"Walter?..." Clementine spoke up hesitantly.
"...I know this knife, I've always liked it." Walter softly said, slowly turning the blade in his hands. "I gave it to Matthew as a gift 8 years ago." He adds, before closing his eyes and letting out a sigh. "I know he's dead...who did it?" The former teacher questioned, his rage now beginning to show itself.
Clementine was pretty startled by Walter's sudden anger as he continued on, not giving the eleven year old a chance to respond yet, "Was it that guy with the ballcap. What's his name? Nick. I overheard him talking earlier with his friend, something about shooting a man."
"I-It was us." Clementine stammered, "Nick shot him, b-but it was an accident, Walter; he didn't mean to."
The former teacher's eyes widen in shock for a moment, before tears began leaking down his face. "I don't feel so good..." He shakly muttered. "I told Matt something like this would happen, he refused to listen, but that was Matt for you; stubborn as a mule."
The eleven year old gave Walter a sympathic look, before the sound of the entrance door being opened drew Clementine's attention away from the former teacher to Nick as he stepped outside. The younger man glanced at Clementine first, then to Walter and then back to Clementine. "What's going on?" He asked her in a whisper.
"You need to tell him." The eleven year old told him urgently as Walter turned around to face them with Matthew's knife in hand, his eyes red from tears and his expression angry.
"Tell me, what you did?" The former teacher pleaded/demanded, sniffling. "Just tell me, son, please?"
Nick backed up a step a little frightened by Walter at the moment, "From a distance, he looked like anyone, I-I thought he was gonna shoot my friends and I-I shot him, I shot Matthew." The younger man finally confessed. "B-But it happened so fast, I didn't know if I hit him or not, but I did; I didn't mean to."
Walter looked down, taking heavy breaths, his grip on the knife tightening. "Do you know what done you've done to me?" He questioned Nick angrily, glancing back up at the younger man with a hard glare. "Do you have any idea!?"
"I didn't mean too, I'm so sorry, Walter." Nick said sincerely.
The former teacher looked at the knife in his hand, seemingly contemplating on using it, but he instead tossed the weapon aside and turned away from them. Both Clementine and Nick felt greatly relieved that Walter didn't do anything drastic, but it was short lived when the ski lodge's wind turbine started spinning radically and loudly, due to the stormy winds.
Clementine and Nick were really alarmed by that, knowing it'll attract dozens of walkers for miles. Luke, Carlos, Alvin, and Sarita, also came outside with worried looks after hearing the commotion. "What the hell's going on?" Luke questioned, alerted by the sounds. "Where's that loud noise coming from?"
"It's coming from that thing." Nick said, gesturing to the wind turbine. "The storm must be doing it."
"Guys!" Clementine looks over and sees Kenny running towards the group, but then she noticed Calista wasn't with him and worry now filled her mind. Why wasn't she with him? Did something bad happen?
"Kenny, where's Calista?" The eleven year old asked, glancing around for her Spartan guardian, "Is she okay?"
"I don't know, but if we don't stop that wind turbine from spinning out of control, It'll draw walkers." The former fisherman said, once he reached the group.
"Nick, Luke, help me get the guns." Carlos ordered.
Both men quickly nodded, before following the doctor inside to gather weapons for the group. As that was happening, the wind turbine started spinning louder and louder each passing second, before they finally returned and gave guns to everybody. Clementine was given a Glock 17 from Nick, before she followed the group over to the wind turbine.
Suddenly, a loud boom goes off and the lights in the ski lodge began flickering, before going off competely.
"Oh, now what?" Nick groans, Inwardly hoping this night couldn't get any worse.
"Damn it, the transformer must've blown! Gotta go check it out, I could use a hand?" Kenny asked, turning to the group.
"I'll go with you." Luke volunteers.
The former fisherman nodded and said, "Alright, come on."
They quickly left elsewhere just as Sarita walks up to the windmill and opens it's fuse box when Carlos asks, "Does anyone know how to do this?" The doctor glances at everyone as some of them shake their heads 'no', before letting out an annoyed sigh and muttered. "Great."
"I could do it." Clementine offers.
"Okay." Carlos nodded to her, 'We'll watch your back. Nick, Sarita, scan the trees with me."
As Nick, Carlos, and Sarita did that, Clementine turned her attention towards the fuse box, but it was too dark to see anything; she reached into her pocket and pulled out her lighter, flicked it on and then used the flame to see better. Thanks to her lighter, the eleven year old was able to use a set of keys in the fuse box and turn the wind turbine off; the windmill slowed down a second later, before stopping all together.
Complete silence fell upon the group, making everyone feel nervous, but after a minute it was broken by the familar growls and moans of walkers approaching through the forest.
"Shit." Nick cursed, "They're coming!" He quickly taking aim with his hunting rifle and started shooting any walkers emerging out of the woods, along with the others. Clementine took aim with her gun as well, but made sure each shot counted as the in-coming hoard began pushing the group back towards the ski lodge little by little.
"There's too many of them!" Alvin shouted as he shot down two walkers that too close for comfort. Nick was about to respond to him, but saw a walker sneeking up on Clementine from her right flank.
"Look out, Clem!" He called out in warning.
The eleven year old spun around in time to take aim at the walker, but her gun clicked as she pulled the trigger, signaling it was out of ammo.
"Oh no." Clementine thought panickly, before quickly dodging the walker as it made a grab for her with a hungry growl, she then looked around for another weapon and saw Matthew's knife laying by one of the outside picnic tables. The young girl ran over it, grabbed the knife and ducked underneath the table for cover as the walker continued it's pursuit of prey. The walker gave an angry snarl and reached under the table in an attempt to grab hold of Clementine, but she shoved the knife deep into it's skull, killing it. The young girl then crawled out from under the table as Nick yelled, "Help me, somebody!?"
Clementine glanced over at him and saw Nick grabbling with a walker that was attempting to tear his throat out, she let out a gasp, before running towards him to help, but didn't have to as someone else had killed the walker. The young man looked confused for a moment, before it turned to shock and surprise as he saw that Walter had shot the walker.
The former teacher nodded at Nick, before he ran over to help Alvin, Sarita and Carlos deal with a few more walkers.
"...Did you see that?" Nick asked Clementine, who was just as shocked and surprised as he was.
"Yeah." The eleven year old replied.
*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!*
The sound of automantic gunfire startled Clementine and Nick as they looked over at the woods and see another group of at least 3 people armed with AK-47s killing any of the remaining walkers. Walter, Alvin, Sarita, and Carlos were stunned briefly as the strangers approached with their guns trained them. The other group quickly surrounds Walter, Clementine, Nick, Alvin, Carlos and Sarita, forcing them to drop their weapons.
"Hey, don't shove me!" A familar voice shouts angrily.
"Then move it, asshole!" Another voice retorts.
Following the voices, Clementine was shocked to see Kenny and Luke with their hands tied up as well as being pushed towards them in a not-so gentle manner; they both looked like someone had beat them up badly as their faces were bloodied and bruised.
"Kenny!" Sarita gasped, shocked at the state of her boyfriend.
The former fisherman was about to respond to her, but didn't get a chance to as the man behind Kenny shoved him forward and said, "Move it."
Walter gazes at each of the strangers and recognizes one of their members on the spot, "You?" He said, shocked to see Bonnie.
Bonnie gave him a sad look, but it was replaced by a hard expression as she pointed her gun at the former teacher.
"Who are you?" Sarita demanded, after she quickly checked Kenny facial wounds out and made sure they weren't infected. "What's the meaning of this?"
Suddenly and weirdly, somebody started clapping their hands slowly and after a few seconds, out of the forest, came none other than William Carver.
"Carver." Clementine whispered, shocked and scared.
"Howdy, folks." Carver greeted, grinning as his team kept Clementine, Carlos, Sarita, Walter, Alvin, Nick, Luke and Kenny surrounded with AK-47 rifles pointing at them. The dictator then approached and circled around the group, before stopping in front of Carlos and Alvin, "I'm only gonna ask this once, where's Rebecca?" He questioned in a deadly serious tone.
Both men glared at him and Carlos responded by spitting directly into Carver's face.
The dictator wipped it away and glared back at them darkly, "Nice to see you too." He snarled, before punching Carlos hard in the face and knocking him down.
"Daddy!" After seeing her father get hit, Sarah came running out of the ski lodge and to Carlos' side, despite being told not to by Rebecca.
Carver smirked, before glancing at the ski lodge and pointed at it. "Inside."
However, before anybody could react, one of Carver's men cried out in pain, before falling face first on the ground with a large bowie knife sticking out of in his back and a tall figure standing off in the woods, shrouded in shadow.
"Calista!" Clementine exclaimed, even though, the young girl couldn't see her clearly in the dark, but she knew it was her Spartan guardian; she also felt a great sense of relief, along with the others, that Cal had come to save them.
Carver and his team were shocked as well as surprised by the female Spartan, before Carver drew his pistol and took aim, but Calista was already gone in a split second.
"Bonnie, you stay here and guard them till we get back." The dictator ordered, glaring darkly into the woods. "Troy, Dean, Johnny, you're with me, let's go."
Carver and his men headed off into the woods as Bonnie started ushering everybody towards the ski lodge at gun point.
"Bonnie, you don't have to do this." Luke said, trying to reason with his former friend. "You know Carver's a monster."
"Keep movin'." The red-haired woman responded sternly, Ignoring his plead.
Luke was going to try to reason with her again, but he stopped when terrified screams and gunfire erupted from the forest, making everybody pause in their tracks.
"Bill?" Bonnie called out, startled by the sounds.
The screaming and gunshots continued for another minute or so, before everything went dead silent.
"Bill?" Bonnie called out again, now feeling a sense of dread and terror that she has never felt. "Troy?"
Suddenly, an object was thrown out of the woods and rolled over towards Bonnie's feet. Confusely, she looked down at it and was Immediately taken back by what it was. The object in question was Carver's severed head and his expression showed that he was horrified.
"Holy sh-" Bonnie was cut off by another knife being thrown into the middle of her forehead, causing her eyes to roll back, before she fell on the ground with a thud.
Once Bonnie fell dead, the group saw Calista stepped out of the woods with a smirk on her face, "Am I late for the party?" She asked.
"I'd say." Kenny joked, feeling relieved, along with everybody else.
Breaking away from the rest of the group, Clementine ran towards the female Spartan and hugged her friend/guardian upon reaching her. Calista warmly smiled at her charge, before she kneeled down to the young girl's level and says, "I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier when you and everybody needed me, Clem, but there was something off about Bonnie and i wanted to make sure you and the group were safe."
The eleven year old nodded in understanding, before she hugged her Spartan guardian again and said. "I'm just glad you're safe too."
Cal patted her back reasurringly as Kenny, Sarita, Alvin, Carlos, Sarah, Walter, Nick and Luke all shared a smile at the scene. This night could've ended in tragedy for everyone, but thanks to Cal-141, It didn't.
To Be Continued...
A/N: *So, how did y'all react to Cal-141 easily destroying Carver's men? ;). Now I know some of you are probably gonna ask, "Why didn't you show it?" and "Who's gonna be the next bad guy?". Firstly, In my opinion, I thought it would be much more fun to Imagine it than to see it. Secondly, don't worry my fateful readers, I have a few antagonists in mind for later on. Also, I figured I'd share some of the choices and decisions that I made, during Season 1 of TWD with y'all. (:
My choices from Season 1 were as it goes:
Episode - 1: I saved Duck Instead of Shaun, I stood up to Larry and I saved Carley.
Episode - 2: I chopped off Mr. Parker's leg to save him, I gave Clementine, Duck, Kenny and Carley some food, than me and Kenny prevented Larry from coming back as a zombie, I left both St Johns to get eaten by walkers and I didn't take nothing from the volkswagon.
Episode - 3: I let that crazy unknown woman get eaten by walkers, I told everybody in the group that Lee killed a state senator before the apocalypse started, I kicked Lilly off the RV, I prevented Duck from coming back as a zombie and I taught Clementine how to shoot, along with cutting her hair.
Episode - 4: I killed that zombie kid in the attic, I took Clementine to Crawford with me, I saved Ben, then I showed everybody my bite and took Kenny, Christa and Omid with me to save Clementine.
Episode - 5: I had Christa cut Lee's bitten arm off, I killed the stranger and I had Clementine shoot Lee to prevent him from coming back as a zombie.
What were your choices (If you had played the games), readers?
Question for you: What do you think of Season 4 so far, readers? In my personal opinion, It's as good as Seasons 1, or 2 and a thousand times better than half of Season 3 (Clemenetine and Paul Rovia/Monroe aka Jesus are the only things that made the game enjoyable). I like Season 3 somewhat, don't get me wrong, but it could've been way better if we were allowed to play as Clem throughout the whole game Instead of only for a few parts. And I doubt, Clem's gonna die this season. The reasons being are she has survived so much terrible crap in her life, but has always come out on top and kept her head up, she has a chance at finding love with two or possibly three different people (James, Violet and Louis), she's the only one who can take care of AJ and is pretty much the leader of the boarding school. Sure, Lee died and he's a beloved character, but Clem hasn't lived this long and come this far in her life to die now. So, yeah I highly doubt Clem will die. What are your opinions on Season 4, readers?
And did you guys hear about Telltale? They shut down and probably aren't gonna be able to complete the rest of Season 4, but not all hope is lost. I overheard Skybound Games have offered their help to finish it for them, so fingers crossed, folks.
Also, the winner of the story poll is (drum roll): Halo x TWD TV version mixed with comic and game elements as well as characters added too.* Review, have a good day/night, God bless and peace out everybody. (:
