I don't own The Walking Dead and Z Nation.
Damn, this chapter is longer than I thought I'd be.
Also I'm sorry if you find any grammar errors. I'm still learning English because It's not my first language.
The group marched along the fields and hills.
"We are going the wrong direction." Murphy spoke up, "Again."
"You left us no choice." Warren said with a shrug of her shoulder,"Too much fallout in the West. Again."
"Yeah. It amazes me that we haven't seen those nuclear rockets." Marlon stated
"That was not my fault." Murphy told them.
"Murphy, don't make me have to explain the term "failsafe doomsday weapon" again." Doc told him, "Please."
"How do you even know California's still there?" Murphy asked as he stopped.
"You're looking ripe. You better hope it's still there." Vasquez replied as he pushed Murphy forward, "Move."
"Let's get moving asshole." Violet added, "We want to get you to California as fast is possible."
"You are not the boss of me." Murphy said, "And neither are you, blondie." He pointed at Warren who stood beside Vasquez and Violet, "She is."
"I can handle this." Warren said to Vasquez and Violet as she pushed Murphy forward, "Move."
"Gladly." Murphy said back as he started to walk forward.
"You'll get used to him." Warren assured them.
"I hope so. He's getting more annoying than Brody's dreams about going on the road trip around the country." Violet said as they followed Murphy.
"Ironically you ended up going on a road trip to California while she stayed behind in the school." Clementine stated.
"Yeah. You can say that." Violet smiled.
"Wonder what are they doing, right now." Louis asked.
"They're probably wondering if we found Murphy.'' Clementine replied.
''That's rather obvious, Clem." Violet stated.
"Oh, looky here." They heard Warren say as the group saw a burning car on the road. She stopped on the edge of the hill as 10K handed his sniper to her so, she could take a look on the road through the telescope.
"What are we gonna do about her?" AJ asked, pointing at Cassandra who was doing a massage to Murphy who sat on the stome.
"Cassandra?" Clementine asked.
"Yes. She's acting more like a monster than a human." AJ replied.
"Maybe there's a way back for her, when we get to California." Clementine told him.
"Maybe." AJ replied as they made their way to Warren who was observing the road through the telescope in 10K's sniper-rifle with and 10K who stood beside her.
"What is it?" Clementine asked as the truck drove along the road.
"I dunno." Warren replied.
"Is that some kind of post apocalyptic wagon train?" Doc asked.
"Well it ain't the 3:10 to Yuma." Warren replied.
"The truck is not alone on the road." Louis stated as he spotted a car, following the truck. Suddenly, a man leaned out of the burning car and started to shot at them. The truck and the car had stopped as the group watched the whole happening from the hill.
"Don't get out of the truck." Marlon said.
"It's gonna be a slaughter." Addy stated.
"No shit." Violet said.
"Can't expect to travel through a valley without an ambush." Came Murphy's voice, "Didn't nobody ever watch westerns growing up?''
"I never watched TV, sir." AJ told him.
"Oh, right." Murphy said back.
"Look." Clementine said as the quad drove towards the truck and the car, "Someone is coming."
Then, the people got out from the truck and the car with their guns in ready. They started to shot at the man behind the burning car and the quad drove along the road and it's driver was shooting at the people from the car and the truck, killing some of them in the process.
"Looks like they're holding off for now." Doc stated.
"Not bad for a bunch of sitting ducks." Warren laughed.
"Well, you think we should, I dunno, help them?" Clementine asked as Vasuqez lowered 10K's sniper and said.
"Think less like a missionary and more like a mercenary. Let's wait and steal the vehicles from the victor." He said.
"We may not be able to save the world. But maybe we can save them." Warren told him as she handed the sniper rifle back to 10K, "You, 10K and Marlon that way. Addy, Clem, Vi you're with me. Doc, Louis you watch him, her and AJ." She said as the group made their way to the fight. Warren and her group hid behind a large rock as Vasquez and his group were slowly walking forward.
Warren leaned out of the cover and tried to shot the guy behind the burning guy down who quickly hid behind his cover, looking around as he signaled his friend of the quad who sped off towards him but never reached his friend because he was shot down by 10K, then he guy behind the car tried to make his way out before Marlon loosened one arrow which landed in his head.
"That's one way to play it." Vasquez told them.
Back at the hill Cassandra and Murphy rised from the stone because they heard a strange noise. AJ noticed that and made his way to them to see what had happened, "What happened? Did you heard a monster?"
"We heard nothing.'' Murphy replied, "Beat it, kid."
AJ did as he was told to. He walked away from from them and made his way to Doc and Louis who waved at Murphy and Cassandra before all of them started to walk towards the rest of their group.
Back on the road Warren, Clementine and Vasquez made their way to the person who seemed to be a leader of these people.
"I'll get this On your toes, people! They'll be back!" The leader declared before turning his attention to Warren, Clem and Vasquez, "Sam Custer." He said, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Roberta Warren." Warren said as she shook his hand, "These two are Clementine and Vasquez."
"Your timing is what we might call fortuitous." Sam complemented them, ''We were on our way to Edmonton, trying to outrun the fallout. How 'bout you?''
"Headed East too." Clementine asked.
Warren turned her attention to Sam's truck and said, "This is quite a set up you got here."
"Yes ma'am." Sam said with a nod, "Well pre-Z, I used to run long haul. Diesel's easier to get these days." He pointed at the car behind them, " My son and I rebuilt the Charger from the ground up. The Comet, I used to drive to high school my senior year. My son and I were gonna rebuild that '49 Willis Jeep. But this is my retirement now. The refugees have shelter, and we carry what we need when we find it."
Suddenly, an odd looking guy came up to them, making Vasquez drew his pistol out, "Hey, you are one badass lady." He told Warren, "You you you were like Boom! Just stone cold kill-ah."
"Call him Wrecking Ball, my sister's boy." Sam said as "Wrecking Ball" walked off, "Cheese slid off that cracker a long time ago. And he fits in pretty well these days though."
"What's in Edmonton?" Warren asked.
"Peace. Tranquility." Sam replied as he pulled out a postcard of Edmonton. " And freezing temperatures. Zombies hate the cold. We're gonna be safe there. All of us. Together."
"You sound like Christa and Kenny. They wanted to go to Wellington because it was cold there and the walkers hate the cold.'' Clementine stated, "Unfortunely I was split up with both of them. I was split up with Christa when were attacked by some bandits in the forest and I split up with Kenny when we reached Wellington because there was no place for him there. Normally I'd leave with him but I decided to stay Wellington for AJ."
"Sorry to hear that." Sam said.
"What about them?" Warren asked as he pointed at the wagon with sick people which were being treated by Addy and Violet.
"They're dying. Radiation." Sam replied, "My job is to get everybody to Edmonton. Now you're welcome to come along with us. You're not gonna get far out here on foot. And to be honest with you, we could use the fire power."
10K, Doc, Louis, Marlon and AJ were leaning against the truck as the young woman came up to them.
"You guys need some more water?" She asked, holding a bottle of water. 10K and Marlon nodded as Doc and Louis shook their heads. She poured some water into Marlon's and 10K cups. She also smiled at them, which Doc and Louis didn't fail to notice.
"You're a heroes, guys." Doc said to Marlon and 10K as he and Louis ate a cream of shroom from the cans.
"You know you can have soup." Wrecking Ball said to Doc and Louis, approaching them, "You know you just add water."
"Cream of shrooms, dude." Louis said, "Water just dilutes the flavor."
"Yeah, what he said." Doc agreed with a nod.
"You sure you don't want some?" Wrecking Ball asked.
"I had minestrone loaf for breakfast." 10K replied.
"Yeah, same here." Marlon agreed with 10K as Wrecking Ball made his way to Murphy and sat next to him.
"Hydration?" He asked.
"Is there somewhere else you can sit?" Murphy asked.
"Yep." Wrecking Ball said as he stood up and walked away from Murphy.
"Kill 'em all and take their stuff." Warren said to Clem, Violet, Addy and Vasquez as they discussed about joining Sam's group.
"I already know what you think." Addy began, "We got strength in numbers. Food, water, shelter. It certainly beats walking, but.."
"But what?" Warren asked.
"The sick." Violet replied, "We highly doubt they're gonna make it to wherever it is that they're going."
"Edmonton." Vasquez replied
"That medical wagon is a zombie bomb waiting to go off." Warren stated as Addy and Violet nodded.
Marlon, Vasquez, 10K, and two members of Sam's group pushed the car off the road, then they started to walk towards the rest as 10K heard a strange noise. He quickly pulled his sniper out and aimed it at the place from which the sounds came from.
"10K. There's nothing in there." Marlon stated.
"I know I heard something." 10K said back, slowly lowering his sniper-rifle.
"You're sure?" Marlon asked as 10K nodded, "Maybe it was just an animal."
"Maybe you're right." 10K said as they made their way to the rest of the group.
"Three days ago we tangled with some bounty hunters" Sam exclaimed.
"Bounty hunters, huh?" Murphy asked.
"We don't want to kill you," they said. "We're just thirsty," they said. But I think they were out of their minds. They kept rambling on about some half-zombie half-man with telekinetic powers. Like a world overrun with zombies isn't strange enough." Sam replied.
"Yeah those those crazy rumors." Doc agreed with a nod.
"Let's get on the road." Sam declared, "Saddle up! Edmonton awaits!"
"Those guys were nuts." Wrecking Ball said to Louis, Doc and Murphy as the rest walked off, Being able to control zombies with your mind, I mean how badass would that be."
"Supremely badass." Louis agreed as he patted Murphy's back.
"Oh he's a badass." Doc agreed.
"You know I hear he can levitate." Murphy said, sarcastically.
"Oooh levitate?" Wrecking Ball asked as Murphy nodded, "You guys wanna levitate, I got what you need. Z weed."
"Z weed?" Doc asked, suprised as Wrecking Ball nodded.
Several minutes later the group was preparing for the road as Wrecking Ball, Murphy, Doc and Louis were getting high in Wrecking Ball's car.
"Wow, Wrecking Ball. Color me impressed." Doc told him.
"The best weed I smoked in my life." Louis stated, "Because it's my first time."
"Seriosly? First time?'' Doc asked as Louis nodded, "You know what, kid? I got stoned with a zombie once."
"What? Are you serious?" Louis asked.
"Yeah." Doc replied, "I swear he caught a buzz too."
"Where'd you say you got this?" Louis asked Wrecking Ball.
"I heard they grow it in this abandoned agro lab in Minneapolis." Wrecking Ball replied, "They use zombies for compost."
"No way." Doc and Louis said, almost in unison.
"That's the story as told to me. I heard they're working on an herbal zombie cure too." Wrecking Ball added.
"A lab in Minneapolis, huh?" Murphy asked, interested by Wrecking Ball's words.
"Hey. Wrecking Ball." Sam, knocking the window.
"Jesus. All right, hey. Just be cool. I got this." Wrecking Ball as he opened the window, "What seems to be the problem, officer?"
"Let's go." Sam replied as he opened the doors, "Now."
"Okay." Wrecking Ball as he got out of the car, followed by the rest.
"Look at me." Sam said to Wrecking Ball who did as he was told to, "A jet airliner departs Toronto headed for O'Hare."
"Excuse me, stewardess? Will there be snack service on this flight?" Murphy joked as Doc and Louis laughed at his joke.
"The plane develops catastrophic engine trouble. The pilot puts it down in Lake Erie. The wreckage straddles the international border. Now, according to maritime law how many of the survivors get buried in Canada?" Sam asked.
"Okay, there's there's 150 passengers. There's 20 in first class." Wrecking Ball began before he came to a realization, "Wait You don't bury survivors."
Sam rolled his eyes as he glanced over at Murphy, "You! Look at me. You don't look right to me."
"I don't know how I look, but I feel pretty good." Doc whispered to Murphy who laughed.
"Yeah, me too." Louis added as the three of them bursted into laughter.
"Your friend is gonna have to ride in the medical wagon with the sick." Sam told Warren as Murphy stopped to laugh at those words.
"Whoa, whoa, what? I don't even get a riddle?" He asked.
"We can afford compassion for the ill only because we have rules." Sam replied, "That gonna be a problem?"
Murphy opened his mouth to protest but Warren shot him an angry glare, "No. Not a problem. But will there be snacks?"
"Munchies." Doc added.
"Or cookies." Louis added before the three of them bursted into laughter, once again as Warren and Sam moved to the truck. Sam, got into the truck, Warren got into the wagon and stood next to Vasquez, Clem, Marlon, 10K and AJ, Murphy got into the wagon with the sick and Louis and Doc got into Wrecking Ball's car.
"Wagon train, ho!" Sam declared as the convoy sped off forward.
"Come on, girl." Murphy said as he stood on the edge of the wagon, "This train is leaving the station."
Cassandra who was sitting on the ground heard that and quickly ran off towards the wagon with the sick. As she ran, she noticed two people with their heads massacred, there wasn't even any skin left. Once, she reached the wagon Murphy extended his hand for her. Cassandra tried to reach her but she couldn't, then Addy walked up to Murphy and extended her hand as well. Cassandra managed to reach their hands and they both pulled her on the wagon.
"Everyone, this is Cassandra." Murphy introduced her to the sick, "Cassandra, this is... whatever. She's shy."
As the convoy drove past the sing with "ZOMBIE ROAD. NO GO" written on it Sam, Warren and the rest noticed a dead human who had his head massacred the same way as the people Cassandra saw a few minutes ago.
"You ever seen that before?" Warren noticed as she made her way to Sam.
"Things have gotten more peculiar since the nukes fell." Sam replied.
"Their brains eaten before they turned." Warren pointed out.
"Blasters eat nothing but brains." Sam replied.
"Blasters?" Warren asked.
"Killed by the blast or mutated by the radiation." Sam replied, "There's something wrong with those zombies. They hunt in packs, ugly as they are fast. They're probably watching us right now."
Warren nodded as she made her way back to Clem, Vasquez and the rest. The drove for several minutes before Vasquez noticed a zombie, running along the hills, surrounding the road.
"Warren, Clem blasters!" He said, aiming his weapon at the place where he saw blaster.
"Where? Where?" Clementine asked as she looked up at Vasquez who shrugged, then the three of them lowered their weapons.
"I'm glad I'm not on foot." Vasquez said.
"It's gonna be a long ride without no Z weed." Doc stated to Wrecking Ball as they drove after Sam's truck.
"At least we won't get thirsty huh?" Wrecking Ball said, pointing at the seat behind him.
"Louis? Why didn't you tell me?" Doc asked.
"Because I thought you already knew." Louis replied with a shrug of his shoulder before handing a water bottle to Doc.
"It's good." Doc said after taking a sip of water.
One of the men in the medical wagon oughed a few times. Violet at Addy looked at each other before handing him a bottle of water. The sick man took a sip of the water before looking up at both of them.
"Thank you." He said, "Both of you."
"Things will be better in Edmonton, okay?" Addy told him.
"It's okay. We all know what's coming." The sick man assured her.
Vasquez aimed his weapon at the hills, once again. He started to shot at the blaster who was running along the hills. This time, Clementine and Warren noticed him as well. They both joined Vasquez before the blaster collapsed on the ground, then the mutated zombie started to walk on all fours, much to their confusion.
"Clem. What is this monster, doing?" AJ asked.
"Wish I know, AJ." Clementine replied.
"Is this highway to hell the only route?" Louis asked Wrecking Ball.
"Nothing but flattened cities and zombie hordes in every direction. And so the only way to go through is just go straight through." was Wrecking Ball's reply.
10K and Marlon spotted another blaster, running along the hills. They both aimed their weapons at him. 10K was the first one to shot, but missed, then Marlon loosened an arrow at the blaster, but missed as well, then 10K took a deep breath before firing another bullet at blaster, this time he hit him in the head, getting rid of him.
"Three thousand ninety-eight." 10K counted.
"You have a long way to ten thousand." Marlon stated.
"I'll do it." 10K told him.
"What will you do, after you reach 10K?" Marlon asked.
"Change my name." 10K replied.
"20K?" Marlon asked.
"No. Jeff." 10K replied.
"Jeff? Why?" Marlon wanted to know.
"I like that name." 10K replied.
"You're one hell of a shot." They heard a woman who was offering them a water say as 10K grinned.
Murphy and Cassandra sat on the wagon with the sick. Murphy was smoking Z weed as Cassandra stared at him in curiosity, "Z weed." He said, offering Z weed to Cassandra who helped herself.
"Z weed." Cassandra said as Murphy smirked, "I feel something..." She said as she helped herself, once again while Addy and Violet stared at her and Murphy in confusion.
It was when Warren spotted two bike's, driving towards them.
"Someone's coming!" She exclaimed, aiming her pistol at them.
"AJ. Hide somewhere!" Clementine said to AJ who nodded and quickly hid behind the cover. They started to shot at the bikers who fired back at them
"Custer! Hey! Move this thing!" Warren said as she made her way to Sam.
"One mile closer to Edmonton!" Sam shouted.
"The bandits will be back!" Warren told him, "Drive!" She said, before making her way back to Vasquez and Clem. She almost fell of the truck but Vasquez grabbed her just in time.
"Thanks." Warren said.
"I owed you." Vasquez smirked.
"Who can keep track?" Warren asked as they drove past an old van where two bandits were hidding.
"Now they're starting to piss me off!" Clementine shouted as she killed one of them.
"Where are the shooters coming from?!" Warren shouted while looking around.
"Just keep firing!" Vasquez said back as he shot down one of the bandits.
"I'm out!" Warren shouted, after killing one of the bandits. Vasquez nodded and pulled out a magazine to the pistol. He throwed it at Warren who catched it and reloaded her pistol.
Murphy and Cassandra spotted two quads which were driving towards the medical.
"Everybody wants a piece of the Murphy." Murphy muttered as Addy and Violet walked over to them, then the two quads reached the wagon and started to shot at them.
"Huddle up, everybody! Get small" Addy ordered as Cassandra growled at the bandits. One of Sam's men leaned out of his cover, aimed his Mosin Nagant at the quads and started to shot at them but was shot down not long after that. Violet saw that and started to make her way to his body, ''Vi! What are you doing?'" She asked Violet.
The Blond teen didn't reply as she made her way to the dead man. She picked up the Mosin and took every bullet he had before making her way back to Addy, Murphy and Cassandra.
"He won't need it anymore." Violet replied as the quads reached Wrecking Ball's car.
"Don't slow down." Louis told Wrecking Ball as Doc pulled his pistol out.
"Pull it over! Pull the car over! We just want the car!" One of the bandits exclaimed.
"Should I pull over?" Wrecking Ball asked.
"Hell no." Doc replied with a shook of his head.
"Pull it over or be blaster food!" One of the bandits shouted as Doc fired one bullet at him. The bandit did a dodge as Wrecking Ball sped off.
"Okay, they're dropping back." Louis stated.
"All right, come on! Let's go!" One of the bandits shouted as they sped off and reached the car. Two bandits jumped of the car. Doc and Wrecking Ball gasped in fear as Louis drew his chair leg out.
"Stop the car!" One of the bandits ordered, punching the front window before Cassandra jumped on the car and but into his neck. The bandit bled to death as the other one climbed into the back seats but Louis slammed his chair leg at his head. The bandits fell out of the car.
"We gotts jump!" Doc exclaimed.
"Are you high?" Wrecking Ball asked.
"Yes, I am." Doc replied, opening the door, "But we still got to bail."
With that Doc jumped out of the car, followed by Louis and Wrecking Ball. The other two bandits got off the quad and got into the car. The car sped off, still with Cassandra on it.
"Take cover!" 10K shouted to the woman as the two two quads approached the truck. He, Marlon and the woman started to shot at them. Unfortunely the bandits managed to kill the woman and flee before 10K or Marlon could kill them.
"Son of a... You're not taking my favorite car." Sam stated as she sped off after the bandits, "My son and I bought that car from a repo man Built it from the ground up. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some common marauder steal it in broad daylight!"
"Hey." Warren said as she appeared in the window, "You got to pull over. My people... Your people are falling behind."
Sam looked at her for a second before nodding. He stopped the truck and the medical wagon stopped as well.
"Why are we stopping?" Violet asked as Addy shrugged in response.
Then, Murphy heard the same noise he heard a few times this day. He already knew what it was so, he quickly jumped off the wagon as Addy and Violet followed him, "Doc, Louis." He said to Doc, Louis and Wrecking Ball who were laying on the grass, "We need to not be here."
"Yeah? Well we're fine, Murphy." Doc said, "Thanks for asking."
"My clavicle look all right to you?" Wrecking Ball asked, holding his clavicle.
"Nobody move." Murphy said as Doc, Louis and Wrecking Ball looked behind themselves to see that the three blasters were right in front of them.
"Dammit. I don't want to die by the roadside in the dirt with a jacked up clavicle!" Wrecking Ball said as he, Doc and Louis stood up the grass and were about to run by Murphy stopped them.
"Doc. Kid. Fat guy. Don't freaking move." Murphy said before closing his eyes. He hoped that he'll make them go away but he got a headache instead.
"Can't you talk to them?" Addy asked.
"Yeah. I thought it was one of your abilities." Violet agreed.
"Addy. Vi. Go start the truck." Murphy told them.
"Why isn't it working?" Addy wanted to know.
"Girls, do as Murphy says." Doc replied.
"Wait, the Murphy?" Wrecking Ball said. His eyes widened in suprise.
Murphy extended his hand to the blasters. He hoped that this will work but, once again it did not worked. Instead of it one of the blasters seemed mad at Murphy "Crap."
"We're gonna go start the truck." Addy said as she and Violet made their way back to the truck.
"That one's mad at you, Murphy." Doc stated.
"Back to the truck. Everybody back to the truck." Murphy shouted as the ran back to the group. One of Sam's men stayed behind and fired a few bullets at the blaster from his weapon but the blasters got him eventually. Murphy, Doc, Louis and Wrecking Ball got onto the wagon with the sick as Addy and Violet started the truck and drove off, running one blaster in the process.
Back with Warren and the rest. Two of Sam's men wrapped the woman into the blanket and took her into the field as Sam watched it.
"She won't be going to Edmonton." Sam said sadly.
"Sorry for your loss." Warren said.
"We're going after my car." Sam told her.
"We need to go back for the others." Warren argued.
"Our water supply is in that car." Sam exclaimed.
"You put all of your water in one car?" Warren asked in disablief.
Sam nodded as he walked to the grave of the woman who happened to be named Athena and payed his respect.
"That man ain't right." Clementine stated as Vasquez and AJ stood beside her.
"I agree with you, but I don't want to be on foot with those things out there." Vasquez agreed.
"So we borrow a car." Warren said, approaching them
"My bounty's back there." Vasquez said.
"Your bounty?" Clementine and Warren asked in unison as Addy and Violet parked the truck behind Sam's truck. Violet and Addy got out of the truck.
"Addy. Vi." Warren said, approaching them.
"Those blaster things, they totally jammed Murphy. He haywired." Addy said.
"Nobody here is safe." Violet stated.
"We'll be rolling directly." Warren told them.
"Okay. We'll cover the medical wagon." Violet said as she and Addy made their way onto the wagon with the sick.
"Custer." Wrecking Ball said, approaching Sam, "I am so sorry. There were blasters, and the bandits they got..."
"You were supposed to protect that car!" Sam shouted angrily as he shoved Wrecking Ball against the truck, then he pointed at the grave of Athena, "And her! That's Athena!"
"Oh no, no. She was my friend. She didn't like me, but she wasn't mean to me either." Wrecking Ball said, sadly.
"Look at me. Two mothers, two daughters. They die of starvation. They turn Z! Athena's dead." Sam told Wrecking Ball.
"I can't think straight." Wrecking Ball teared.
"What happens after five minutes of..." Sam said.
"Look man! Things got pretty heavy back there." Doc interrupted him.
"Hey, pipe down, hippie!" Sam shushed him. Louis opened her mouth to say something, "And you too, dreadlock. If the radiation gets the better of you, you're a threat to the whole group."
"Minneapolis. I can go to Minneapolis. There's medicine there. I'll bring it back." Wrecking Ball offered.
"Take him to the medical wagon." Sam ordered two of his men who grabbed Wrecking Ball by his shoulder.
"No, no! I can still help!" Wrecking Ball protested.
"Go on! Take him now!" Sam shouted.
"Check yourself, Custer. You don't look so good." Wrecking Ball remarked before he was taken to the medical wagon.
"Hey, hey. It's time to move out." Warren said, placing her hand to Sam's shoulder, "You need to let that car go. We need to cut our losses."
"Don't talk to me about losses." Sam said as he walked away from them. Doc, Louis and Warren rolled their eyes as they walked over to Vasquez, Clem and AJ.
"Your plan's up." She said to Vasquez, "Get ready, guys. We're making a move."
10K and Marlon spotted another blaster, running towards them. The two of Sam's people blocked their way as one of them jumped on Vasquez who fought back until Clem shot the blaster in the head.
"You okay?" Warren asked, helping Vasquez get up.
"Yeah." Vasquez replied.
"We need to leave now." Warren said to Sam, "We got to get out of blasters country. Let's go!"
"I think you might be right." Sam agreed as everyone got onto the wagon, then Sam sped off forward.
Back at the medical wagon, the condition of the sick one's worsened
"Will you just do it now?" The sick man asked Addy and Violet, "I don't want one of those blasters to get me."
"We're am not going to let that happen." Violet tried to assure him.
"I shouldn't be back here. Custer, he's gonna get us all killed. Those stupid riddles of his. He he even banished his own son to the medical wagon." Wrecking Ball stated.
"Custer lost his son to the radiation?" Violet asked.
"I ain't dead yet." Sam's son replied, "This whole death wagon is my fault. I got too sick to drive. The fool shoulda left me."
"Oh. This must be my lucky day." Sam said, stopping his truck because he spotted his favourite car on the road. The bandits were laying on the road, lifelss as Cassandra was hissing.
"The living monster." AJ whispered to himself as 10K came up to Cassandra.
"Cassandra? Cassandra? You in there?" He asked as Doc and Marlon walked over to them.
"Oh. You got a little something right here." He said, standing behind Cassandra. He pulled the tomahawk off Cassandra and put it in the slot in his belt.
"Does it hurt?" 10K asked.
"I could use more Z weed." Cassandra replied.
"Couldn't we all?" Doc asked as Cassandra rushed over to Murphy and hugged him tightly.
"Do you think that Cassandra's more dead than alive?" 10K asked Marlon and Doc.
"You mean is she more Z than person?" Doc asked.
"Yeah, I guess." 10K replied.
"I don't know, kid. She kinda comes and goes." Doc replied.
"AJ sees her more like a zombie than a human." Marlon told them, "I heard him saying this to Clem."
In the meantine Sam got into his favourite car as Warren walked over to him.
"Hey. Blasters can't be too far behind." Warren told him before noticing that something was wrong with Sam, "You ready to ride?"
"Yeah. Got to get through to Edmonton." Sam replied as he got out of the car and slowly made his way to the truck.
"Hey, are you good to drive?" Clementine who was leaning against the truck asked.
"Fit as a fiddle." Sam replied.
"Twenty survivors of a nuclear attack bound for Edmonton. Twelve strangers join the caravan. Three vehicles need a driver. And the wagon master is suffering from radiation sickness. Who drives the semi truck?"
"That's an easy one. Nobody drives that rig but me." Sam replied, aiming his pistol at Warren's head.
"Don't even think about it." Clementine said, aiming her pistol at Sam.
"Yeah." Vasquez agreed as he aimed his pistol at Sam as well who was forced to lower his gun.
"How 'bout I drive that car?" Warren asked, "Yeah, that'd work. Careful, the brakes are touchy."
Suddenly, they heard the car's engine. All of them glanced over at the car to see that Murphy, Wrecking Ball and Cassandra were driving away in that car.
"Well I did not see that move coming." Vasquez stated.
"Yeah, me too." Clementine agreed before Sam got into the driver seat and Clem, Warren and Vasquez onto the wagon, then they drove off.
As they were driving Addy and Violet spotted the three blasters, running towards them.
"Oh no." Addy said as Violet aimed her Mosin at blasters and started to shot at them.
"Warren! Warren! We got to go!" Violet shouted while shooting at blasters.
"Here they come!" 10K shouted as he and Addy joined Violet in shooting at the blasters.
"Dammit." Addy said after firing her last bullet at the blaster, then she turned around to Sam's son, "Zeke! Zeke! Is he sleeping?!"
A sick woman shrugged as she checked if Zeke was sleeping. In response the undead Zeke bit into her neck.
"No!" Addy asked as another sick person tried to stop Zeke, only to get bitten himself, "Vi! Turn around!"
Violet did as she was told to. She turned around to see that she and Addy were surrounded by the undead, "What now?"
Addy in response pushed the undead Zeke out of the way as she and Violet made their way up. Violet put her Mosin on the car and drew her meat clever out as one blaster jumped on the wagon.
"I really hate that one! Yeah." 10K said as he appeared behind them.
"Yeah." Addy and Violet said in unison as Violet picked up her Mosin, then with the help of 10K, they both jumped on the wagon where the rest of their group was. The blaster followed them.
"Let's go, man! Don't stop for nothin'!" Warren shouted to Sam.
"Go you guys, go, go!" Doc shouted as he had his pistol in ready, "Addy, Vi get out of there! I got this." he said as he shot blaster in the stomach, causing him to fall of the wagon, then he started to look around the road, "Where'd he go? I think I got him."
"All right, nice shootin'! Move your ass!" Violet shouted as Doc followed them. The zombies from the medical wagon started to make their way to the rest. Vasquez, Clem and Marlon started to shot at them as the undead Zeke bit into the neck of the person who was driving the truck with the medical wagon. Soon enough, the other blasters appeared on the truck.
"Hey, are we slowing down?" Addy asked.
"We need to not slow down!" Louis shouted.
"No, shit!" Violet shouted as she and 10K started to shot at the zombies.
"Everybody, hang on to something!" Warren shouted before making her way to the passager seat.
"Hey, how's it going back there?" Sam asked.
"We need to go faster!" Warren exclaimed.
"What?" Sam asked.
"Clutch!" Warren replied.
"What?" Sam asked, once again.
"Clutch!" Warren replied as the truck sped off
"Wagon train, ho!" Sam shouted, happily as the truck destroyed the blockade which was on the road.
"We made it." Warren smiled.
"Never a doubt. Edmonton, here we come." Sam smiled back.
"Awww, dammit." Warren cursed as she noticed how many Z"s were getting closer to them, "Custer, there's too many z's."
"I got to get to Edmonton." Sam began, "My son and I used to camp up there. Boy, he loved to fish."
"Doc, let me see your gun." Addy said as Doc gave his pistol to her, then Addy leaned out to see the undead Zeke, "Zeke. I give you mercy." She said as she shot him in the head.
"Oh no man, you ain't gonna make it." Warren said to Sam.
"You should come with us." Sam continued to smile as the blaster jumped on the front of the truck. Sam stopped the car. The blaster fell of the truck as Sam sped off again, running him over.
"Everyone! Jump!" Warren shouted as she sounded the horn. Clem grabbed AJ before jumping off the truck, followed by everyone else, "May God give you mercy." She said to Sam as she opened the doors.
"We'll see you in Edmonton." Warren said as she jumped off the truck, joining the rest of her group as Sam and his truck dissapeared from the sight.
"I've never jumped from a moving vehicle my whole life." Doc said, "And now boom, twice in one day."
Suddenly, they heard a horn. They all realized that Sam was killed by blasters.
"Monsters got him." AJ said.
"Yes, I guess so." Warren said back as the group made their way to the truck with the medical wagon.
"You sure about Minneapolis?" Clementine asked Louis.
"Wrecking Ball was going on about some herbal cure for the zombie virus being cooked up in an old genetically modified food lab out there." Louis replied, "He told me, Doc and Murphy that when we were getting high in his car."
"Hold on." Violet said as she stopped, "Weed, zombies, and GMO's. What could go wrong?"
10K opened the doors of the truck and the lifeless body of the drive fell on the ground.
"You people really do attract it, don't you?" Vasquez stated as he walked over to the wagon, "Help me with the hitch."
Then, they heard an explosion.
"A caravan of 20 refugees leaves Seattle's blast zone for Edmonton. They meet eleven survivors and one Murphy. How many refugees survive?" Warren asked.
"Not one." Marlon sighed as the group got into the truck and drove off towards Minneapolis.
Hope you enjoyed it. See you in another chapter.
