Chapter 5: Brothers In Arms

Clementine and you run through the woods with AJ on your back. Large rocks stand on small hills. While doing a quick search of the area, you find a small bus.

Y/N: "We can hide in here. Don't worry. It's gonna be okay."

Clementine kicks the door open and closes it behind you. You set AJ down on a rug and walkers surround the bus.

Y/N: "Oh, come on."

You help Clem barricade the door with a shelf. The shelf has a few unopened and opened boxes sitting on it. AJ whimpers.

Clementine: "Shh. AJ, it's alright."

Walkers pound on the bus and AJ cries.

Y/N: "I know you're hungry."

Clementine hums to AJ. "Hmmm..Hmmm.." her humming stops AJ from crying. And you have to admit. It is pretty soothing.

Clementine: "We're gonna wait for them to go and then we're gonna find you some dinner. Hopefully find us some dinner."

Someone tries to open the other door.

????: "Son of a bitch! Hey! I can hear you in there! Let me in! Please! Oh, god...there's so many... Please don't leave me out here." It's sounds like a female but you shouldn't let them in.

You try to block the door but the women on the outside pushes it open before you can get there. Clem and You pull out your pistols and aim it at her. She has no hair with a blue jacket. And brown leather pants.

????: "Oh, shit. Hey there." She pushes against the door.

Y/N: "Hello.."

Clementine: "Leave. You can't stay here."

????: "Sorry, kiddo. Think you're stuck with me."

The girl struggles to keep the door closed as walkers pound on it.

Ava: "Shit..."

Clementine and you run over and help her hold the door closed; the new girl barricades it with a plank.

????: "Goddamn it! Well. I'd say we make a pretty good team."

Clementine: "you and us are not a team. This is my team." She nods to you and AJ.

????: "Pretty small team..." She sits down beside the shelf on the other door.

Y/N: "We could have survived without you."

????: "Yeah, well, I couldn't have survived without you... And I'm not too big to admit it." The girl crouches in front of AJ

????: "He's a cute kid. You guys live in here? You seem kinda young to be a mom and dad. What are you? Thirteen? Damn. You're a child yourself." You shake your head.

Y/N: "I'm old enough to put a bullet in you."

????: "Whoa, take it easy. I'm not looking to make enemies here."

????: "We were out there scouting...nothing out of the ordinary, and then--chaos in--shit. Those bastards are slow, but goddamn it, when there's enough of them... I got separated from the others. God, I hope they all made it. Thought we were ready for anything. But they were all around us before we saw them."

Clementine: "What were you scouting for?"

????: "Gas, water...any supplies we could find, really. Sure as hell wasn't worth it."

Ava rolls up her sleeve to reveal a brand on her arm. AJ starts crying again.

Clementine: "He's hungry..."

Ava: "Hey...why don't you come with me, meet my people? We have food...blankets...bottled water... C'mon, dinner's on me. I owe you one."

Clementine: "Groups aren't really our thing."

Ava: "No person is an island..." Have it your way. But you did me a solid here. I won't forget it next time we cross paths."

Y/N: "There is no next time."

Ava: "We'll see. The world does work in mysterious ways." She leans against the door and closes her eyes.

----------------------------------------------------

The group walks through the train tunnel.

Jesus: These tunnels were abandoned decades ago. But I've heard you can get through...here's hoping.

Clementine: "Javi, I need to talk to you."

Y/N: "We do?"

Javier: "About?"

Clementine: "Look, I appreciate you keeping quiet about me and the New Frontier. But what I told you earlier...it's not the whole truth. Look, I wasn't their prisoner. I was..." The three of you slow down behind the group.

Clementine: "I was one of them."

Clementine rolls up her sleeve to reveal the brand on her arm.

Y/N: "Oh, we're doing this?" You roll up your sleeve to the brand too.

Javier: "You were with those monsters?!"

Clementine: "They're not...all...like that. I'm not asking you to forgive us... But you have to understand....I have..nobody but Y/N. We were all alone, and...I thought I didn't need them... But they were very...persuasive."

Y/N: "I told you we shouldn't have done it." She does a sharp look at you that shuts you up instantly.

Javier: "Look...I'm sure you had your reasons."

Clementine: "I did."

Clementine: "I just had to explain, because if they're really in control in Richmond, we can't let them see me. We just...can't. So when we reach the other side of this tunnel, we're leaving."

Conrad: "Y'all planning on joining us?"

Tripp: "Shh!"

Clem, you and Javi catch up with the rest of the group.

Tripp: "You all hear that?"

Javier: "Coming from over there." He points to the left of your beam of light.

Jesus: "Can you see anything?"

You shine your flashlight on a group of walkers.

Gabe: "They're everywhere!"

Tripp: "Fuck, they are! Keep sharp!"

Jesus: "Watch out!"

A walker appears behind you and you kill it with your flashlight.

Gabe: "Javi! Help!"

Javier kills one of the walkers near Gabe. A walker grabs Gabe; Jesus does a wall run and kicks one walker in the head, then throws the other off Gabe and stomps on its chest.

Gabe: "Holy shit..."

Jesus: "Take him out!"

Javier stabs the walker.

Javier: "Thanks, I--"

Conrad shoots at the approaching herd.

Conrad: "These fuckers are everywhere!"

Tripp: "Christ almighty, Conrad, now every walker in the fucking county is gonna be heading this way!"

Javier: "C'mon, follow me!"

Javier and the group run through the tunnel, firing at walkers. They discover that a train is blocking their path.

Tripp: "What the fuck?!"

Jesus: "No one ever mentioned a train in the way..."

Conrad: "We better find a way around it or we're fucking dinner."

Javier: "Maybe we can just go through?"

Tripp: "Well?! Does it open?"

Javier opens the train door.

Javier: "I got it! C'mon!"

The group follows Javi into the train.

Tripp: "Daylight's ahead! Thank fucking god! Let's go."

Clem closes the door.

Clementine: "We can't have those walkers following us. Y/N and I will block the door, you guys go ahead and make sure it's clear."

Jesus: "Make it fast. We'll be right ahead of you."

Jesus, Javi, Tripp, and Conrad leave.

Gabe: "I'm staying here!"

Y/N: "Hold the door shut until I can find something to barricade it with."

Gabe and Clem hold the door closed.

Clementine: "Hurry!'

Gabe: "Oh, my god, there's so many of them."

Clementine: "Hurry, Y/N."

You try to pick up a nearby pole.

Y/N: "Shit! I'm gonna have to break this thing off!"

Clementine: "Hurry, they're almost here!"

You break off the pole. Walkers try to get inside the train.

Clementine: "Y/N! I can't--there's too many! Help!"

You kill one of the walkers through the window by swinging the pole like a bat.

Clementine: "Wedge that through! Now!"

You stick the pole through the door handles.

Y/N: "Okay, let's go. We gotta--"

Conrad stands in front of the exit door and points his pistol at Clementine. She reaches for her own weapon. You tap your waistband to make sure it's there.

Conrad: "I wouldn't touch that gun, girl. You either, cowboy."

Y/N: "What the hell are you doing?"

Conrad: "I heard you two. You think I'm stupid? Finish your little story. Now."

Gabe: "We...we need to keep moving."

Conrad: "No, you need to talk."

Y/N: "Conrad, this is crazy!"

Conrad: "What's crazy is you covering for her! Roll up your damn sleeve!"

Conrad grabs Clementine's arm, but she breaks free.

Gabe: What? Why?

Clem rolls up her sleeve to reveal the brand.

Conrad: "I fucking knew it."

Gabe: "You're one of them?"

Y/N: "We both are."

Conrad: "You're goddamn right she is. What other bullshit did you shove down our throats, huh?Un-fucking-believable."

????: "She has a right to her secrets like you have a right to yours."

Conrad: "Secrets isn't the point. You're missing the bigger picture, son."

Conrad: "Don't you see? We bring her to Richmond, they'll give us whatever we want. Medical help for Kate. She's our bargaining chip."

Clementine: "They won't bargain with you. You don't know them."

Conrad: "Won't know until we try."

Gabe: "She's not a bargaining chip! She's a friend!"

????: "Oh, I'm sure after less than a day, you two are just soulmates."

Y/N: "Not a chance in hell."

Y/N: (draws gun) "How's that for an answer?"

Clementine: "Go to hell, Conrad."

Clementine: "I'm not doing this. If you wanna shoot me, shoot me."

Conrad grabs Clem and points the gun to her head.

Conrad: "How about I shoot your little girlfriend here instead?"

Conrad: "Nobody has to shoot anybody!  this is how it's gotta be. And then we all step into the sunshine. C'mon, man, be reasonable. This helps both of us."

Clementine: "I'm...just gonna go..."

Conrad: "Don't take another step."

Gabe: "Y/N, please!"

Conrad: "You know this will work!"

Y/N: "Asshole!" You dive for conrad but a shot is fired after you tackle him. The bullet lands in Clem's stomach and she instantly falls to the floor.

Gabe: "Clem!" He slides next her and is already starting to rip at her shirt to bandage the wound. You hit Conrad in the face with your pistol a few times till you finally put a shot into his brain. His head explodes on impact.

Y/N: "Clem no, no." You slide your hands underneath her back and lift her up into your hands. "I have to get to Richmond. That's the only place that can fix her.

You, Clem, Gabe, climb out of the tunnel and join Tripp, Javi and Jesus on the surface.

Tripp: Where's Conrad? Did he not make it out?! And why is Clem in your arms?!"

Y/N: "He lost it in the tunnel--attacked us. Shot Clem in the chest."

Tripp: "What do you mean?! What happened?!"

Y/N: "He and Clem started arguing, and then--shit just went south. We had to...leave him behind."

Tripp: "Aw, shit! Fuck!"

Jesus: "Try to stay quiet."

Tripp: "Jesus fucking Christ. Damn it, Conrad.."

Tripp: "God! What a shitshow."

Javier: "This isn't what any of us wanted. But right now, we need to find Kate and Eleanor."

Tripp: "You're right. I just wish..."

The group keeps moving.

Jesus: "The gates are this way. If your people are here, that's where they would've ended up."

Tripp: "Why's it so quiet? Thought there'd be New Frontier marching in the streets and shit. Practicing on walkers, or--whatever the fuck they do."

Y/N: "Maybe they're all on their lunch break."

Tripp: "I don't like this. I don't like any of it."

As you walk through the city, you see some New Frontier guards and hide behind a truck.

Tripp: "Fuck! Did they see us?"

Javier: "I don't think so."

Javi peeks out from behind the truck.

Tripp: "Can you see anything, Javi? What are they doin'?"

The guards walk away. The group notices Eleanor's and Kate's car nearby.

Gabe: "That's their car!"

Y/N: "Hey, keep it down."

The group carefully approaches the car and finds Kate in the backseat.

Javier: "Kate! Kate! Can you hear me?" (gets in car) "Kate! Talk to me. Say something."

Kate: "Javi..."

Kate: "Could really use something to take the edge off, right about now."

Javier: (chuckles) "Very funny."

Kate: "I've been saving it for a while."

Javi hugs Kate.

Gabe: "Kate! Are you...are you okay?"

Kate: "Come here."

Gabe hugs Kate.

Tripp: "Where's Eleanor?"

Kate: "She--she went ahead to get help. She hasn't come back."

Tripp: "Damn it--they must've got her!"

Javier: "Jesus. How far is it to their compound?"

Jesus: "Not too much farther now--a couple blocks, at most."

Javier: "Gabe, help me lift her up." Javi lifts Kate up with Javi's help.

Y/N: "I'm thinking we walk up to their front door and beg if we have to."

Tripp: "Alright, fine."

The group sees the gates up ahead.

Jesus: "There it is: New Richmond."

Clementine opens her eyes to you carrying her. "Hey."

Y/N: "Hey.."

Clementine: "I'm not going to die right? Your gonna get me help?" You nod, a single tear falling out of your eye.

Y/N: "Yeah, just watch the show." You smile and wipe the tears off with your right sleeve. She smiles and closes her eyes.

Kate: "Javi...if they can save me...how about you and me finally take that trip to Norway? The Northern Lights, remember? Sky lit up all green and purple... And white snow, all around us..."

Javier: "As long as we make some time to hit the slopes, I'm in."

Kate: "We just can't wait too long to book our flights..."

The group reaches the gates.

Tripp: "Jesus, there's a solid possibility this isn't gonna go our way. If you wanna stay behind, I wouldn't blame you."

Jesus: "Hey, this is where I was going in the first place."

Y/N: "Hey!"

Max and another soldier appear on top of the wall.

Max: "You again? You must have some kind of death wish..."

Javier: "they need medical help."

Tripp: "And you have one of our people!"

Max: "Uh-huh... What's your point?"

Javier: "I am begging you--please, help us. If we don't get then to a hospital, they'll die."

Max: "Then I guess she's gonna die."

Y/N: "It was your men that shot her. Your bullets. You owe it to us to help now."

Max: "We don't owe you shit. It's got nothing to do with me. Your people, your problem."

Y/N: "That girl your people shot? That was her daughter. And the other one, Gabe--he's right beside me, watching her die. You can stop this, if you want to."

Javier says nothing.

Gabe: "Please--They're dying. They need help!"

Max: "It's not like I don't have a heart, okay? But your people started this whole fucking thing in the first place!"

Tripp: "Let's not forget what you did at Prescott--what you did to our home!"

Max: "Prescott, right. That whole situation was a damn mess. It happened. It's over. Nothing I can do about it now."

Y/N: "Please--I am begging you--just let us in."

Max: "Now all of you--lower your weapons."

Jesus: "Might be a good idea to play along here--at least for now..."

Max: "You put 'em down--I'll see that as an expression of good faith. Nice and easy. Or else this is gonna end bad."

Javier: "Everybody--put 'em down."

Max: "Guess you were serious about this, after all."

Javier: "Tripp. Please."

Tripp: "You're the boss." Javi looks over at Gabe.

Gabe: "Yeah. Okay."

Max: "Hands behind your heads. All of you!"

Tripp: "We let 'em do this, it's over! We can't give 'em another inch!"

Y/N: "No. I Have to Keep Clem Safe!"

Max: "Guess we're doing this the hard way, then..."

The gate opens and several New Frontier members walk out.

????: "What the hell is going on out here?" A large man walks out.

Max: "They said they weren't here to hurt anybody, so I was trying to see if they--"

Another person comes out who looks like a larger version of you, there's no way right?

David: "Oh, my god."

Gabe: "Dad...?"

Jason: "Y/N?!" Is that really...your brother?
