MCSM: Order Scenarios

The Walking Dead: The Ride

Warning: This chapter contains horror aspects which may cause some readers discomfort. Reader discretion is advised.
A/N: This scenario takes place with actors on the preshow and is not entirely accurate to my experience

The Orders waited in the empty waiting room, one of them occasionally flinching from a noise or change of view on the screens on the walls. The view on the main screen changed to a man,
"Welcome to the Thorpe Park Safety Zone. Before I let you in, you need to answer these questions." He pointed to Gabriel's rough position, "You there. How many walkers have you killed?"
Gabriel's voice shook a little, "Too many to count."
"And how many people have you killed?"
Gabriel was stumped for a moment and then said "One."
"Why?"
Before the warrior could answer, a woman's voice was heard and said something about walkers breaching the defences. The door behind them was closed so when there was banging, everyone flinched or screamed. Beth clung to Gabriel, shaking. Gabriel, familiar with the sequence, shouted above the bangs,
"I'll go at back, who's fastest?!"
Jesse raised a nervous hand into the air. Gabriel told him to go at the front so that if they needed to run they could. The man on the screen said he'd let them in and to run the second the door opened. The doors opened and they walked through shaking. They made a minute with only flashing lights, Gabriel looking behind him at regular intervals. Then he drew in his breath sharply.
"JESSE RUN!"
And run the boy did. Actors behind them began to groan and Gabriel so desperately wanted his sword for a sense of comfort and control. They ran and ran, hearts pounding, lungs heaving. Eventually the sounds of the groans stopped and they slowed to a walk near the ride platform. Gabriel looked around and paled horribly,
"Where's Magnus?!" He was breathless from fear and running. Everyone looked around. Magnus wasn't with them. Ellegaard spoke,
"He must have fallen behind!" To everyone's amazement, she didn't sound airy like she didn't care but worried. Gabriel gasped,
"I must have not noticed..." His voice became strong and commanding again, "We'll go back and get him, the rest of you get to safety!"
And with that, he, Ellegaard and Ivor ran back down the passage. Jesse's group and Beth boarded the ride, shaking without the comforting presence of Gabriel.

The footsteps of the three members of the Original Order thumped loudly but that didn't matter to them. They'd forgotten it was just an act and that Magnus would be fine. To them, it was real. Fight or flight instinct kicked in. They couldn't lose Magnus again! They found him cowaring on the floor, nearly surrounded. Gabriel whispered a plan to Ellegaard and Ivor. They nodded. Gabriel barged through the zombies and kept them at bay. Ellegaard helped Magnus to his feet and Ivor quickly checked him over. They ran to the ride platform and boarded.

The ride finished. They found the New Order and Beth waiting for them. Beth, upon seeing them, hugged them all. Once again, Jesse was up front, Gabriel at the back. They walked. There was no sign of zombies. They were all tense and alert. Gabriel looked behind him the whole time, a hand on the wall to guide himself. Then, from behind a wall, five zombies emerged. He yelled at Jesse to run. They didn't look behind them until they reached the exit. When they all emerged, Jesse said,
"We're all in agreement to never do that again?"
Most of them nodded but Magnus said,
"I wouldn't mind doing it again!"
Gabriel nodded his agreement, a smile now forming. Beth stared at her brothers incredulously,
"How do you like that?!"
