"Sash, you're not gonna believe this crap." Negan spoke as he cracked open the doors. Loud walker growling filled the air as soon as the casket cracked open. "Holy goddamn!" Negan called out, stumbling backwards as a turned Sasha pushed out of the casket and went straight for Negan, pushing him off the edge of the flatbed. Everyone was frozen in shock for a second, until Carl pulled out his pistol and whipped around, shooting the three Scavengers behind him and Luna. Gunfire began erupting all around them but neither wasted any time in retrieving their discarded rifles and beginning to shoot. Luna was focused on the Saviors outside the gate while Carl was aimed down at the street behind them.
Luna leaned over the wall once again, seeing Arat aiming straight at Daryl. She didn't hesitate, Olivia's corpse flashing in her mind as she pulled the trigger, sending a hail of bullets into Arat. After her body had fallen to the street, Luna ducked back into cover.
"We have to get down there!" Carl yelled over the gunfire as he reloaded. "Cover me!" She nodded, refocusing her aim to the street below as Carl descended the ladder. "I'm good, come down!" He yelled. She stuffed a few extra magazines into her sweatshirt pocket before climbing down the ladder, jumping off when she was low enough. She swung her rifle back in front of her as she stood up, and began shooting once again.
"I have to get to him!" Luna yelled, glancing in Carl's direction. "I have to kill him!" Before Carl could respond, Rick fell from his post. He had blood pouring out of his side, and Jadis was standing on the post, looking down at him. Luna swung her gun up, firing a few rounds into Jadis as Carl rushed to his dad's side. Luna followed, keeping her gun trained upwards even though she couldn't see Jadis any longer. And then, she felt the cool metal of a gun against the back of her head and froze. She looked around, and realized that she, Rick and Carl had been surrounded by Saviors. Negan was standing over Rick and Carl a smug look on his face.
"You two never learn, huh?" He asked. "Get their guns." A few Saviors came forward to strip Carl and Rick of their firearms. Negan then strolled over to Luna, his expression shifting from smug to enraged. "And you." His voice was low as he stopped in front of her, leaning down so their eyes were level. "You are in a whole helluva lot of trouble. You killed Arat. You killed more of my men. And shit, I heard you yell about killing me. Is that what you want? You wanna kill me?" Negan's head cocked to the side and he scoffed. "You're lucky we're family."
"We're not family." She retorted, and Negan scoffed again, this time shaking his head.
"You know what? No." He straightened back up. "Take those two to that field over there, get em on their knees. We'll join you in a minute." Luna's eyes widened as she watched Carl get pulled to his feet by Simon. Rick was also pulled up, and the pair were dragged away-Carl fighting the whole time. Negan then turned back to Luna, rubbing his face. "Abso-fucking-lutely not. Dwight, take her guns." Dwight stepped forward, pulling the rifle off of Luna and taking her pistol form it's holster. He didn't meet her eyes as he did so and then stepped back. "Let's see here..." Negan then grabbed Luna's left hand, a sigh escaping his mouth as Luna looked back up at him. "So Simon wasn't lying..." One of Negan's fingers twisted the ring on Luna's finger. Despite her trying to pull her hand away, Negan managed to hold her hand in place long enough to pull the ring off her finger, pocketing it. He finally let go of her hand, her arm falling back to her side.
