As they ran to the train, Howard, Kenny, Clementine, Lee, and Molly saw the group (Christa, Omid, Doug (twdg), Carley, Douglas (rc9gn), Bucky, Theresa, and Debbie) waiting for them.
Doug (twdg): Look, they're back.
Debbie: Finally, you guys are here.
Carley: Shit, are you guys okay?
Kenny: We're not okay. We're almost captured by...
Christa: By that monster?
Molly: Yeah, how did you guys know that?
Omid: We saw it too a few minutes ago.
Bucky: Yeah, and we saw Ninja as well, but with a different color suit this time.
The group then looked at Lee, who was now in great shape.
Carley: Lee?!
Carley looked at Lee very closely, as she couldn't believe her eyes that Lee was completely healthy now.
Christa: You're still alive and healthy too?
Carley then touches Lee's forearm to check if he's warm or not.
Carley: And he wasn't as warm as before? What happened?
Then Omid sniffs the group, as they smell awful thanks to walker's blood.
Omid: And you guys smell… awful…
Howard: Shut up, Omid.
Molly: You guys may find it hard to believe, but the ninja just cured Lee with something.
Kenny: Yeah, and it's a mysterious Elixir we don't even know about. But at least we know Lee was cured.
Clementine: Yeah, and I'm happy to have him back!
Howard: Yeah, but before that, we had to wait for Cunningham first.
Then the group looked down as if they needed to tell Howard that Randy was gone because of what happened.
Christa: Howard? I know you're sad to hear this, but...
Howard: But what?
Christa: Randy is gone.
Howard: What?
Christa: He sacrificed his life to save me when I was trapped inside the dark room, and we don't know what happened to him, but I knew he was gone.
Howard knew Randy was still alive because he was the ninja, but Howard had to pretend to feel devastated by falling onto his knee and shedding crocodile tears to make sure the group didn't feel suspicious of him.
Howard: NOOO! My best friend is gone! Gone!
Carley: I know, and we're sorry.
Theresa then cries again as she thinks about Randy's unknown fate. Debbie confronts her. As they were about to say something, Yellow Ninja Randy was thrown to the ground near the train.
Douglas(rc9gn): Ninja?
Then the group can hear and see Stanked Ben coming this way, which makes the group scream in fear.
Lee: Oh no! Run!
Just as the group was about to leave the boxcar and run for their lives, Stanked Ben grabbed Kenny by the claw very quickly.
Lee: Shit! Kenny!
Theresa: Oh no! He got Kenny!
Kenny: Fuck! Help me!
Then Yellow Ninja Randy stood up and was about to attack Stanked Ben. Before he could do that, he heard Stanked Ben talk for the first time in his monster form. It was so loud that even the group could hear it.
Stanked Ben: KKKKEEENNNNYYYY!
Yellow Ninja Randy: What the juice?
Carley: Did that thing just talk?
Molly: Believe it or not, That thing is your friend, Ben.
The group (except Randy, Molly, Howard, Lee, Clementine, and Kenny) was very shocked that the monster was none other than Ben. Then Stanked Ben ran off with Kenny in his grip. Yellow Ninja Randy chased after Stanked Ben. Howard and Lee also chase after them.
Howard: Do you go after them too, Everett?
Lee: Yeah, we had to save Kenny before Ben did something worse. And when I think about it, Is Ben only after Kenny and not us?
Howard: Seen like it.
As Yellow Ninja Randy followed where Ben was going as he ran, stomped onto numerous walkers, and nearly destroyed buildings, he stopped by the church bell near the hospital and began to climb it until he reached the top of it. (King Kong Reference)
Yellow Ninja Randy: Okay, Ben. Enough with the game. It's time to de-stank you.
Yellow Ninja Randy then jumps and runs between the church bell and hospital wall and onto Stanked Ben as he's about to suffocate Kenny. Yellow Ninja Randy then attacked Ben numerous times, but it was useless since Stanked Ben hadn't been de-stanked yet.
Yellow Ninja Randy: I don't get it. I hit him very hard, but it didn't de-stank him. Is there any way to de-stank him?
Then Randy heard Howard's loud voice from below. Randy looked down and saw Howard and Lee there.
Howard: NINJA, THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU!
Yellow Ninja Randy: *While I dodged Stanked Ben attacked* What is it?
Howard: I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE SORCERESS STANK BEN WITH SPECIAL STANK!
Yellow Ninja Randy: The Sorceress? I knew she was behind this! What did she do to Ben to make him act like this?!
Howard: THE SORCERESS MENTION THAT SHE STANK BEN DURING THE ARGUMENT WITH LILY! THE STANK INCREASE INSIDE BEN DUE TO HIS MANY NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, SHE SAID HER STANK POWER IS TRANSFORMING BEN INTO AN UNBEATABLE MONSTER!
Yellow Ninja Randy still dodges the stanked Ben attack as he's thinking of ways to de-stank him.
Yellow Ninja Randy: So Ben was stanked through his negative emotions, just like the Sorcerer stanked everyone at school.
Stanked Ben: KKKKEEENNNNNYYYYY!
Kenny: Ninja! Don't let this shitbird kill me! Do something!
Yellow Ninja Randy: I tried!
Kenny: Just kill him already!
Yellow Ninja Randy: I can't just kill him! I've got to de-stank him!
Kenny: WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
Then Nomicon's doodle shows up to Randy with a lesson and points at Stanked Ben and Kenny.
"Forgiveness is more powerful than hatred."
Yellow Ninja Randy: Oh, This lesson isn't about me. It's about Ben and Kenny. Kenny kept pushing and didn't fully forgive Ben, and all of the negative emotions that Ben had caused the stank inside him to grow rapidly. The only way to de-stank Ben… is for Kenny to forgive him!
Kenny: NINJA?!
Then Yellow Ninja Randy reached on stanked Ben's claw with Kenny in it and tried to pull it up to free Kenny. Yellow Ninja Randy tries to free Kenny, but Ben's grip is too strong.
Yellow Ninja Randy: Kenny! You have to forgive Ben!
Kenny: What?! How the fuck does that work?
Then stanked Ben tight with his fist, making Kenny a bit suffocate.
Yellow Ninja Randy: Remember how you said bad things about Ben? You upsetting him is the reason why Ben is this now!
Kenny: But I don't know if I'm going to forgive him, Ninja. I'm still a bit mad about what he did to my family!
Kenny's words make Stanked Ben enraged even more, and as he's about to crush Kenny, Yellow Ninja Randy tries his best to stop Stanked Ben from killing Kenny.
Yellow Ninja Randy: I know, but Ben was feeling guilty about what he did. He didn't know that was going to happen. And do you think your family will be happy if you don't forgive Ben? Remember how Duck accidentally caused Shawn's death?
Kenny: Wait, how the fuck did you know this?
Yellow Ninja Randy: I know everything, but that's not important right now! Remember how Duck felt guilty about causing Shawn's death? It's the same guilt that Ben went through. If that was Duck who got Katjaa killed, do you think you're going to do the same thing to him too?
Kenny's eyes were wide as he finally understood. He realized that Ben wasn't to blame for his poor decision that caused his family to be killed. Kenny realized the Sorceress was to blame for his family's deaths. In Kenny's mind, if the Sorceress hadn't created this apocalypse and hadn't led the bandit group, his family would still be alive by now. Kenny then began to talk to Stanked Ben, who was angrily growling at him.
Kenny: Hey, Ben. Listen to me, kid.
Stanked Ben glares at Kenny as he begins to talk with full remorse.
Kenny: I know why you did that, and I know you didn't mean to get my family killed. You just wanted to do this to make sure those bandits left us alone. I understand you now.
Yellow Ninja Randy notices that Stanked Ben has started to calm down a bit.
Kenny: You're really scared, aren't you? You're scared you could screw up the group at any time. And I know you're already hurting inside; no matter what happens, I... we will always be here to make sure you won't feel any more pain from what you've been through.
As Yellow Ninja Randy is about to open Stanked Ben's claw, Kenny gives Ben three words.
Kenny: I forgive you...
Kenny's words caused Stanked Ben to break into tears and free Kenny from his grip, causing Kenny to fall. Yellow Ninja Randy used his scarf to snatch Kenny and put him safely on the ground. As Yellow Ninja Randy and Kenny were on the ground, Howard and Lee saw what was happening and ran over to Kenny and Yellow Ninja Randy. They saw the stanked Ben climb down from the church bell, the purple stank leave Ben's body completely and turn back to his human form, and surprisingly, how his clothes remained undestroyed even after being de-stanked. Yellow Ninja Randy and Howard knew that was going to happen, while Lee and Kenny couldn't believe their eyes.
Kenny: Shit! I can't believe it!
Lee: This is unexpected.
Ben smiled while the tears were coming out of his blue eyes.
Ben: Kenny… I'm really glad to hear that.
Yellow Ninja Randy: See! This is what de-stank for!
Lee: Destank?
Yellow Ninja Randy: It means turning someone's monster form back into their human form.
Lee: And does it work on walkers as well?
Yellow Ninja Randy: Umm... No.
Then Yellow Ninja Randy looked at Ben and said,
Yellow Ninja Randy: I'm glad this turned out well.
Howard: Yeah, for now...
Then Bucky, Omid, and Molly came along to see the commotion.
Omid: Holy shit… Are you guys okay?
Kenny: We're fine. Thanks for asking.
Bucky ran and hugged Ben.
Bucky: Ben! I can't believe you're still alive. I thought we'd lost you. And please don't turn into a monster again!
Omid: Unbelievable… We just witnessed a monster turn back to Ben.
Molly: Yeah, and most Savannah Houses and buildings were destroyed by him.
Ben then looked around him and saw that some of the buildings had been destroyed by the monster version of himself.
Ben: Did I do this?
Howard: What? You don't remember anything, shoob? Not only have you destroyed the city and killed numerous walkers, but you almost tried to kill Kenny as well!
Ben: Oh god! I'm so sorry!
Yellow Ninja Randy: Ben, I don't think you should apologize for something you can't control. And also, you can't remember anything you did because of stanknesia.
Bucky: Yeah, Ben. My friend told me I've turned into a monster many times, and I know what it's like to feel guilty after the destruction I caused. If you wanted to talk, my mind would always be open for you.
Ben: Thanks, guys, and you too, Kenny.
Kenny looks at Ben with a sad but relieved look.
Kenny: Yeah…
Yellow Ninja Randy: And now I've decided to go save a kid... What's his name? Randy, I think...
Lee: Randy? Is he still alive, Ninja?
Yellow Ninja Randy: Of course, I saved him when he was almost completely surrounded by the walkers and hid somewhere in the big city.
Lee: That's great. Please send him back to us so we can leave the city. Will you come with us?
Yellow Ninja Randy: Let me think about that. Smokebomb!
Yellow Ninja Randy uses a smokebomb to disappear into thin air, and the group was grossed out by the smell of the smokebomb.
Kenny: Ugh, this smoke is stinkier than walker corpse!
Lee: I don't want to describe this kind of smell.
While the group is talking, they are unaware that the Sorceress appears on the church bell with an angry look on her face.
Sorceress: I can't believe the ninja ruined my plan. I WILL MAKE YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE SUFFER! MINIONS! KILL THEM!
Then The Sorceress decided to use her power to awaken the horde of walkers to attack the group. The walkers came and walked toward the group.
Lee: Shit! We better get out of here!
Howard: Yup. To the train!
The group ran to the train as fast as they could.
To be continued...
