Cameron: Hey! Look!
Cameron points to a Dallas Survivor attempting to climb out of the sinkhole.
Cameron: He's climbing out! Maybe, we should do the same!
Suddenly, the Dallas Survivor is shot through the chest by a Condemned Sniper, causing him to fall to his death.
Cameron: On second thought.
Kyle: Yeah, no...
Shawn: Same here.
Kyle, Jake, Shawn and Cameron travel through the graveyard and walk into a giant tunnel created by the digger.
Shawn: Hmm.....that wasn't there....damn, they dig some huge ass tunnels down here.
Kyle: It's the Leviathan.
Shawn: What?
Jake: Some kind of big digging creature is making these tunnels, man. It's what's sinking the cities. We called it the Leviathan.
Shawn: You're shitting me? Like, in Greek Mythology, Leviathan?
Kyle: I wish...
Shawn: That's some fucked up shit, boy...then again, we live in a fucked-up world, don't we?
Kyle, Jake, Shawn and Cameron enter deeper into the tunnel, eventually reaching human sized made capsules.
Jake: What the hell are these? What are these things?!
The four then discover a fresh corpse.
Jake: Shit! Is that James?!
Shawn turns over the corpse, revealing to be Tanner, who apparently died of a crushed skull.
Shawn: No....it's Tanner....Rest in peace, brother....I'll tell Kelly and Junior for you...
Kyle: C'mon...we'll mourn him later...but right now, we gotta to keep searching.
Kyle, Jake, Shawn and Cameron search the area while in a capsule, James hears footsteps outside the capsule and stands up.
James: Hey, Shawn! Is that Shawn?! Hey, get me out of here, man! Hello?!
Shawn: Shut the fuck up, James! I hear you, you little shit-sniffer!
James: Then get me the fuck out of here, man!
Jake and Shawn release James from the capsule.
James: Jesus, man! What the hell took you so long?! Got held up in traffic?!
Kyle tosses James an Tanner's assault rifle.
Kyle: How bout a "thank you"?
James: Sorry...thank you...wait...where's Tanner?
Shawn: He didn't make it.
James: Shit! Mr. Jax....he got smashed....Fuck me.
Kyle: What the hell are these things doing taking prisoners?
James: They're taking people and locking them up in these things...taking them deeper into their lair...fuck...they were torturing humans...about to do the same damn thing to me....
Shawn: Shit, man, what are these motherfuckers capable of?
Kyle: C'mon. We need to check this out. Keep an eye out for any other prisoners.
Shawn: I didn't think these monsters took prisoners.
Jake: Guess they do...and we're calling them Condemned.
James: Where did you get that from?
Kyle: The kid....
a short pause
Shawn: Sounds stupid.
Cameron: Hey, it's a cool name!
Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Cameron are alerted by a grinding sound, revealed to be coming from a barge.
Shawn: The hell is that?!
James: The torture barge. That's where they're taking their prisoners. I can hear people screaming...begging them to stop....or begging them to kill them.
Kyle: Well, let's go. If anyone's in there, we're getting them out. C'mon.
Fighting through Condemned drones, Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Cameron manage to get on board the barge.
Cameron: Oh, shit.
Suddenly, a Minotaur Condemned with a mini-gun comes down on an elevator aboard the barge and opens fire, but is killed after Jake shoots it in the head.
Kyle: Okay, let's take this elevator up.
The group take the elevator to the upper level, before they begin searching the cells. Shawn suddenly hears coughing from one of the cell.
Shawn: Kyle! Someone's still alive.
Kyle: Open it!
John and Shawn force the cell open, revealing to be a chained and rugged Barnes and stump for his missing arm.
Kyle: Well, there's no one in here.
Jake: Kyle....
Kyle: What? I'm not bringing him with us.
Cameron: Wait, who is this guy?
Kyle: he's one of the Zeus Corps assholes that tried to kill us three years ago....we're not taking him with us.
Jake: We can't just leave him here.
Shawn: Kyle, your brother's right. We can't just leave him here. I get he tried to kill us, man, but this is no way for anyone to live...not even our enemies.
James: Dude, fuck that. He lead an attack on us that got Daniel, Cassandra's father, killed. Not to mention, he killed Billy and Nathan escaping....we can't have him with us...plus, he has that same serum in his veins that his asshole of a brother had....he's too fucking unpredictable.
Kyle: Exactly my point...
Kyle and James prepare to leave, but Jake and Shawn protest.
Jake: Kyle!
Kyle sighs.
Kyle: Jake! He's too dangerous!
Shawn: Didn't people think the same of you and me years ago? Come on, man...you know we're right....
A short pause, before Kyle pulls out his Zeus Corps machete and activates the fire feature, before he cuts Barnes free from his chains. Barnes falls to the ground, before Shawn and Cameron stand him up.
Shawn: Should I wake him up?
Kyle: We're not wasting time carrying his ass.
Shawn: Wake him up it is then.
Shawn slaps Barnes, unable to wake him. Shawn then backhands Barnes, still unable to wake him.
Shawn: hmm...
Shawn pulls out an electric arrow and taps Barnes with the tip. The shock awakens Barnes, who screams in pain.
Barnes: The fuck?!
Shawn: Well, he's awake.
Barnes recovers and are in pain.
Barnes: Kyle Desipich? Shawn Burton? the fuck you boys doing down here?
Kyle: Funny; we were about to ask the same of you.
Shawn: Well, we were trying to find a way out of here and see if anyone is still alive.....figured you'd be the only one to live through this.
Barnes scoffs, before standing up.
Barnes: Well, what the hell took y'all so long?
Kyle: How bout a "thank you for saving my ass instead of shooting me, despite what I did three years ago"?
Shawn: You know, maybe, I'm starting to reconsider bringing him with us.
James: not too late.
Jake: Guys, even though he's an asshole, we still have to be considerate.
Barnes: It's good to see you too, big brother....
Barnes turns to James.
James: Goggle boy.
James turns to Cameron.
James: I'd introduce myself, but you look like you might not survive this.
Cameron: Who is this guy again?
Kyle: This douche is Jack Barnes. Anyone ever tell you about him, kid?
James: He's the one who led the attack on Midtown Manhattan three years ago with the late Jason Ryder.
Cameron: The Zeus Corps Commander? Wow! I've heard of you.
Kyle: You know his attacks almost lead to Midtown Manhattan being blown up, right?
Cameron: I mean
Cameron clears throat.
Cameron: Asshole.
Cameron and Shawn walk ahead while Kyle talks to Shawn.
Kyle: Shawn, you sure about this?
Shawn: We have to see if anyone's still alive in there, Kyle....
Kyle: I'm talking about Barnes. How do we know the moment we turn our backs he won't try to shoot us?
Shawn: For now, he might know a way out of here.
Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Cameron engage the Condemned drones while Barnes takes cover.
Barnes: Hey, Kyle! How bout a gun?!
Kyle: Like hell!
Barnes: What? I can shoot with one hand.
Kyle: That's not the point. I don't trust you.
Barnes: C'mon, man! I gotta defend myself too!
Kyle: What? am I not speaking English?! Fuck off!
James manages to take control of the barge, causing it to drive forward while being chased by the flying Manticore Creatures. During the chase, the controlled barge crashes into another barge as Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James, Barnes and Cameron walk through. The group then enters the torture cells, where Shawn pulls onto the lever as the cells open, before the group searches the cells. One of the cells are holding a traumatized and shell-shocked Walter.
Kyle: My god...Walter, is that you?
Walter's eyes have gone blank as his state horrifies the group.
Shawn: Jesus Christ....
Barnes: Oh, yeah...him...I remember him...
Kyle: Shut up, Barnes!
Kyle turns to Walter.
Kyle: Hey! Walter! Hey! Look at me, man! You okay?!
James: Dude, he's broken...look at his eyes....what the fuck did they do to him?
Jake looks outside.
Jake: Kyle, we got more Condemned coming!
Kyle: Fuck...
Kyle arms his shotgun.
Kyle: Walter, let's go!
Kyle tosses Walter a shotgun as he stares down at it.
Kyle: Shawn, James, cover that door! John, Jake, cover the entrance!
Barnes: What about me?
Kyle: You stay behind cover!
Barnes: This is so fucking stupid! I can help you get out of these fucking tunnels if you'd give me a chance!
Kyle: You stay behind cover like I told you! (to Walter) Walter, you up for this? Walter?
Kyle turns to notice Walter aiming the shotgun at him.
Kyle: Whoa...Walter...Walter...
Jake, Shawn and James turn and aim their weapons at Walter.
Jake: Whoa, Walter! Drop it!
Kyle turns to the others.
Kyle: No! No! No one shoot! Hold your fire! He's in trauma and shock! Let me talk to him.
Kyle turns back to Walter.
Kyle: Walter, hey...it's me, Kyle. Remember me? Shawn? James? Jake? We're your friends, man. I'm your friend. We're not going to hurt you, brother. I'm going to take that gun back from you, okay? I'm not going to hurt you. I'm your friend.
After some tension, Walter cocks the shotgun.
Jake: Fuck it. Kyle, I'm going to put one in his leg.
Kyle: Jake! Shut up!
Kyle turns to Walter.
Kyle: Walter, just give me the gun....please...
A short tense moment, before Walter sheds a tear and places the barrel of the shotgun to his chin. Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James, Barnes, and Cameron protest.
James: Whoa! Walter! Dude!
Cameron: Dude!
Shawn: Fuck!
Jake: No! No! No!
Kyle: WALTER!
Kyle attempts to stop Walter but is too late as he pulls the trigger and shoots himself through the chin, ending his own life and splattering blood on Kyle.
Barnes: Fuck!
Kyle: No!
Shawn, Jake, Barnes, James and Cameron give shocked expressions before Walter falls to the floor dead.
James: Fuck! I told you they were breaking people, man! I fucking told you! I can hear them screaming!
Shawn: Goddammit, man! Walter!
Jake: Jesus Christ!
Cameron: I can't believe that happened to Walter....he...he survives everything...he's a tough son of a bitch, isn't he?
Kyle gives a saddened look.
Kyle: He was tough, kid....he wasn't immortal.....no one is.
Shawn: Let's go....
Jake, James, Barnes and Cameron flee, before Shawn walks up to Kyle.
Shawn: Kyle, you okay, man?
Kyle: Let's just get the fuck out of here, man.
Kyle and Shawn fall back, leaving Walters' corpse behind. In Midtown Manhattan, near sunset, Cassandra is sitting next to a radio listening to further news, before Sarah approaches her.
Sarah: Uh...hey...
Cassandra: Hey...
Sarah: Your sister was wondering if you were here.
Sarah sits next to Cassandra.
Sarah: anything about Dallas?
Cassandra: No...nothing...
Sarah: I wanted you to know that if I didn't want to hurt your brother...he liked me, but my heart kind of already belonged to Kyle.
Cassandra laughs.
Cassandra: Blake was always minding his own business with girls....he really didn't have any concern with who I dated.....My Dad was though....he always thought that these simple Midtown Manhattan fighters thought of things like sex...
Sarah: My Dad was like that.....before I met Kyle, there was this asshole, Thomas....he was too controlling....just telling me how to dress...how to talk...how to be his girl...forced himself on me...I just dumped his ass...Nathan once kicked his ass....then Kyle, he-he saved me from getting raped by this Butcher asshole....then he respected me...he really cared...I knew he wasn't the man my brother and everyone else thought he was....we kind of connected when I was taking care him after Ryder stabbed him.
Cassandra: James is a dork, but he and I....he's the first man I actually loved.... you know his Uncle? Colin, right?
Sarah: I did....he was brave....a great caretaker...he gave his life for James...you don't get many family members like that.
A short pause.
Sarah: you still going after sunset?
Cassandra: Yep...
Sarah: Well, me, Ash...Caleb...are considering going with you.
In the sinkhole of Dallas, Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James, Barnes and Cameron continue moving as James and Jake talk.
Jake: You okay, man? You look a little shook.
James: You know....back in Cratersville...Walter would have my back gathering supplies for when I wanted to build something....saved people in need too...brought them back to town...helped gave them a job...after Cratersville was destroyed, we travelled together...survived bad shit together...fought together against Kronos...he become one of the family....he become a mentor after I lost Colin...he was barber before the world ended....he was best friends with a military soldier....he wasn't just a good guy....he was a great one.
Jake: He got caught trying to save Woody....if he's still alive too, his death wasn't in vain.
James: It's wrong to think, but I'd trade another family for ours any day.
Jake nods, before patting James on the back. Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James, Cameron and Barnes continue walking through the sinkhole of Dallas as Barnes speaks to Kyle.
Barnes: Damn shame about Walter....when I was interrogating the bastard three years ago, he seemed like a tough one...tell me; did that girl who was shot survived? Beth, right?
Kyle gives Barnes a look.
Barnes: No....no, she died...that is come to be expected of people who follow you, Kyle Desipich...people you care about die....Seeing as how you're still alive; I also see my boy's attempt to kill you failed....or at least, your boy...what was his name? Nathan, that's it. Sarah's brother....you should've heard him...he was-
Kyle turns to Barnes.
Kyle: I am close to punching you in your fucking teeth if you don't shut the hell up! You understand?! Shut your fucking mouth!
Barnes: Ohh....touchy....
Barnes moves ahead as Jake speaks to Kyle.
Jake: What the hell's that about?
Kyle: Not now, goddammit.
Shawn: Yo, Kyle! I'm getting bead on a chopper that's in the area.
Kyle: Good...then let's try to flag it.
Jake: Looks like there's a safe landing zone on that building.
Jake points to another hotel with a rooftop.
Kyle: Good call, Jake! Let's go!
The group travels up to the rooftop of the hotel, where Kyle manages to make contact with any remaining Dallas helicopter Pilots.
Kyle: Dallas 1, this is Desipich? Are you in the sinkhole?
Dallas Pilot: Desipich, this is Dallas 1! I'm in the process of evacuating civilians!
Kyle: Copy that! We're on the rooftop on the hotel of the north corner. Be advised, we have unwanted guest with us.
Barnes: Unwanted guest? Does he mean me?
James: No, the Easter bunny? Who the fuck else, man?
Cameron pops the signal flare to attract the Chimera Pilot.
Cameron: Smoke's out, Kyle. Let's hope the Chimera spots us, before the Condemned do, you know? Otherwise, we're going to be up shit's creak, because we're a little low on ammo, a little outgunned and easily outnumbered.
Shawn gives an aggravated sigh, before Kyle, Jake, James and Barnes give an annoyed look.
Cameron: What?
James: Kid, you ever heard of jinx's?
Cameron: No.
James: Well, jinx's are something like if you say something good or bad, it may or may not come true. For example, you just said you hope the Chimera spots us, before the Condemned....also, stating the obvious that we're low on ammo and outnumbered and in a sinkhole and in a city infested with hundreds of these monsters...well...what do you think you should do?
A short pause.
Cameron: Uh....not jinx us?
James: Ding! Ding! Ding! Give the boy a prize!
Cameron: Okay...not jinx us, got it? Because something bad could happen...for all we know a Condemned with a shotgun could come in and shoot-
Shawn: Dude!
James: The fuck I just say?!
Kyle: Cameron!
Jake: C'mon, man!
Barnes: Kid, shut up!
Kyle: Barnes, shut up.
Barnes: You're tellin me to shut up, but the kid keeps on sayin shit-
Suddenly, Condemned drones bursts in onto the rooftop and open fire, causing a gunfight to start.
Jake: Well, looks like the jinx came true!
Cameron: Uh....sorry!
Kyle: Barnes, you get into cover!
Barnes: Kyle, give me a goddamned gun, man!
Kyle: Shut up and get into cover!
Barnes: For fuck's sake!
Barnes gets into cover, before Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Cameron engage the Condemned in a shootout.
James: Where the fuck is the goddamn chopper?!
The shootout continues, before Barnes gives an annoyed grunt.
Barnes: Fuck this.
Barnes steps out of cover, before Kyle notices his and yells out to Barnes.
Kyle: Barnes! Barnes! What the hell are you doing?!
Barnes advances at the Condemned drones and begins to use his military combat to kill four of the Condemned drones. A Condemned drone sneaks up on Barnes and stabs him in the chest. Barnes scoffs, before taking the blade out and stabbing the Condemned drone in the chin. Barnes grabs the advanced revolver from the Condemned drone and shoots at incoming Condemned drone Soldiers, before Shawn and Jake aim their weapons at Barnes' head.
Jake: Drop it! Now!
Barnes scoffs.
Barnes: Unbe-fucking-lievable.
Barnes drops the revolver while the helicopter circles the area.
Dallas Pilot: Desipich, this is Dallas1! I'm closing in on your position.
Kyle: Copy that, Dallas 1!
Suddenly, an giant earthquake occurs as Kyle turns to notice the Leviathan creature devouring most of the what's left of Dallas.
Jake: Fuck...
Kyle: Not good...(talks in radio) Hurry it up, Dallas 1! We need pick up now!
The Chimera Aircraft lands on the rooftop as Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Barnes enter as passengers.
Kyle: Where's Cameron?!
Cameron is holding off attacking Condemned drones.
Cameron: I got your back, Kyle!
Kyle: Boy, get your ass in here! Now!
Shawn: Rookie, this is just a battle! Save your ass for the war!
Cameron backs away as he is firing, before he is shot in the shoulder, causing him to tumble onto the Chimera Aircraft, where he is pulled in.
Jake: We're in! Go!
The Chimera Aircraft ascends as the Leviathan creature moves in. In the chopper, Cameron tends to his gunshot wound.
Kyle: Kid, what were you thinking?
Cameron: No sweat, Kyle....I'm okay...it's just a flesh wound.....I can't believe we're alive!
Suddenly, the Leviathan Creature emerges and devours several buildings, causing debris to hit the tail of the helicopter and spin out of control. During the spin, Cameron is launched out of the helicopter and falls into the mouth of the Leviathan Creature.
Kyle: Cameron!
The helicopter drifts into the mouth of the Leviathan Creature.
Shawn: Motherfucker!
Kyle, Jake, Shawn, James and Barnes brace for impact as the Leviathan Creature eats the helicopter. In Midtown Manhattan, Alexandria is reading a scripture on the bible, before suddenly looking at a picture of herself, Daniel, Blake, Zed, Cassandra and Maya. After some time of looking, Alexandria sheds a tear, before Maya enters.
Maya: Mom?
Alexandria: Yeah, hey...honey...what's wrong?
Maya: Uh...earlier, don't you think you were a little hard on Cassandra? I mean I get she sometimes puts herself in dangerous situations, but I think she really is trying to help out more.
A short pause.
Alexandria: Your sister is brave and I believe in her....no matter how much she says she hates me....you are strong too, Maya...do you think you'll find what you're looking for?
Maya: Um...Mom, what I'm looking for?
Alexandria: yourself....you know...after your father died, I guess part of me blamed myself....because I was so busy recording people for when we survive this apocalypse that....I barely spent any time with them....I barely told him how much he meant to me....on how he was a leader to these people....he gave them hope...promise me years from now that when you and your sister have children....you'll tell them what I'm telling you so they can survive.
A short pause, before Alexandria hugs Maya.
Maya: I will, Mom.
