-AUTHOR's POV-

-1 YEAR LATER-

Another year has passed now, as the word was heard that a new group has been taking over and being heard numerous times around the communities: The Saviors, led by their alpha leader, (YN) (LN), AKA..... "Negan." He and the groups have been encourager communities one by one, wanting some trade, and in return to become their protection, build walls and make their community better, and to cross him, or they will deal the consequences. For the last year, (YN) and the saviors has helped a lot of communities, and yet he had to deal with some unfriendly communities, which they don't take kindly or just be some assholes, and (YN) will kill them no worries.

Right now, let us take a moment and have a look at a different group, a group that you all are familiar with, as they live in a community known as "Alexandria", and that is Rick Grimes, and his group. They have went through a lot as well, and sticked together as a team...yet, they also have dealt with bunch of groups too, and lately...they had to go through with the Saviors, which they don't know who they are, what they do...nor don't know who their leader is. But they know the leader's name, "Negan", but never met him in person. Rick and his group have recently dealt with them, and yet has killed a lot of his people as well, and has stole some of his weapons as well...but, as of right now, one evening, Rick's group were far away to arrive Alexandria after dealing with the saviors. But luckily, they arrive to a community where the leader of that community happens to be a friend of theirs: Jesus. Jesus lets them in and have them stay for a bit before heading to Alexandria. Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Abraham, Glenn, and Maggie were in the room with Jesus while Carl, Sasha, Eugene, Rosita and Aaron were making a little tarde with Jesus's people.

Jesus: Well, it's good to see you folks again, been a while since the last time we've met.

Rick: Good to see you too Jesus. Seems like your community has gotten better.

Jesus: It sure as...well, for now at least. Anyways, I'll have one of my people let you steal some of our supplies, no need to thank me.

Michonne: We really appreciate it.

Jesus: Just looking out for you folks.

Rick: As much we wanna stay here, but we need to get back to Alexandria before midnight.

Jesus: I understand, but, I am curious about this: What were you all doing here?

Glenn: We ran into trouble while on the walk.

Jesus: Figures, I did found y'all a bit roughed up.

Daryl: We were dealing with this group, couple of them, caught us off guard too.

Glenn: But, we manage to steal some of their weapons, Carl has them.

Jesus: I see, and what kind of group were they??

Abraham: Don't know, but they did kept saying a name. I think it was ..... "Negan"?

Suddenly, Jesus reaction turn into fear, and shock when he heard the name "Negan"...

Jesus: Oh dear...Negan?!

Abraham: Yeah, what? You look scared now.

Michonne: Come to think of it, that name, "Negan" has been heard all around through other communities too.

Rick: Yea. I guess, all of us heard the name "Negan", right?

They all nodded...

Rick: So tell us, who is this "Negan"?

Jesus stood quiet, and to calmly pace around and replied....

Jesus: ..."Negan", is one very, very dangerous man. He's an alpha leader that runs the group, which y'all have dealt with, the saviors...he's the one that built these walls.

Rick and them looked at each other with a surprise look...

Maggie: You serious?

Jesus: As serious as I am. The saviors have been visiting communities one by one, build walls for them for protection, and in return: trade in supplies, that's it. But, "Negan" made lots of demands, and threats too.....he killed one of my men, beat them to death, for not understanding how this works, yet took some of my men too, and have them work under him. He don't take kindly with people that disobeys him the fact he wants to help them. He's not the leader I want to be with, but...he help me made this community better.

Maggie: So basically he makes deals.

Jesus: Correct: supplies, crops, livestock's, anything. And in return, we get protection. Meaning, they don't kill us.

Daryl: Why not fight back?

Jesus: As much I want to...but I can't. I can't afford to loose more of my people now.

Rick: Well, how many people does "Negan" have?

Jesus: Not too sure, but if I'm right, I've seen him with his group more than 20.

Daryl: So wait, they show up, kill half you're men, and still give them half your supplies? These dick just have a good story. Boogeyman? He ain't shit.

Abraham: We literally left his men into tiny little pieces.

Darly: We will do it, take out his boys, and bring your men back, and in return, you will give us supplies? Good, medicine and some of your cows.

Jesus: ....

Rick: Confrontation is something we never had trouble with, believe me.

Jesus: ...I hope you know what you're doing.

Glenn: Of course we are. We've dealt with lots of shitty groups, we can deal with them.

Michonne: No problem.

Jesus: Yeah, I know, but...if y'all even meet "Negan" in person...then god bless you and beg for mercy, cause he won't.

Rick: Now wait a damn minute, we're over here trying to help you out by taking out "Negan" and his group, and you're making it sound like we don't have the advantage, like I said, we never had problems with confrontation-

Jesus: And I'm telling you to be careful!

Suddenly, Jesus raised his voice...

Jesus: "Negan" under just an ordinary bad person, nor he isn't a good person...he's a dangerous, I just want you all to be careful with him.

Rick: ....Right.

Later on, Rick and the group were finished making the trade with Jesus, and to make their way back to Alexandria, yet they were wanted by him to meet a lookout on "Negan" and the saviors....
.
.
.
But what Rick and them didn't know...is that Jesus knows who "Negan" is, and he has worked with him a long time ago, back at Richmond...Jesus was in his office room, and gave a worried reaction...as he pulls out a radio from his desk...and gives a sigh...

Jesus: I'm sorry Rick...but you had this coming, you mess with the wrong family.

.

Meanwhile, at another base, we then look back at (YN)'s home, and we see in his office sitting down, as he is now 27 years old. He was already told by some of his group that survive against Ricks group that they were attacked and killed and their weapons taken away. He then heard his radio...

Jesus: Hey, it's me.

He grabs his radio...

(YN): Jesus, my friend, listen, you called at the bad time here.

Jesus: I'm not gonna waste you're time, (YN)...Rick and his group came over.

His reaction turned serious when Jesus mention Rick...

(YN): You don't say?

Jesus: They left not too long ago, they were also curious about what kind of person you are, and who you really are.

(YN): Hm, Kinda figured. Anyways, yeah, some of my men came back injured and told me about it.

Jesus: I expected that much.

(YN): Now, you said they left, right?

Jesus: Yeah, they stay at this community called "Alexandria".

(YN): Mhm, don't worry about that, I have my right hand man handle that. Thanks for the heads up, Jesus.

Jesus: Of course...*sighs*...

(YN): ...I know, Rick may be a friend of yours, but you should know what they did, and what they took away from me....unless, you want me to make you understand again, like last time?

Jesus: N-No. no need to, I get it...

(YN): Good...I'll make sure to give you 25% of supplies for giving me a heads up. Goodbye, Jesus.

Jesus: Of course, thank you, and...farewell, (YN), take care.

The finish talking as (YN) puts his radio back and stood up and walks over to the table were he places his knife, gun and barbed wire bat...

(YN): Lucille, AJ, Clementine, y'all heard that? Rick and their people are not that far...looks like todays our lucky day.

He grabs them, and to put them on his scabbard and to walk out of his room, heading down the hall and arriving outside, and to see a whole bunch of people, lots of them, and yet more than 20 to say, at least 100 of saviors...(YN) gives a whistle and everyone focus on him...

(YN): Listen up! I've got word from a friend of mines, that Rick and his group are nearby. Not too sure, but we're going going to hunt them down. Simon, you know what path they walk to their community, right?

Simon: Yes sir.

(YN): Good, my ears are pleased from your response. Alright! Everyone load up, we're heading out! Simon, lead the way.

Simon: Right! Let's go everyone!

(YN) Mind: ....Im coming for you, Rick Grimes.
