Rick punches Negan in the face as he screams.
"just die!"
Negan kicks up jamming his knee into Rick's body and Rick falls back into the dirt. Negan crawls forward towards Lucile and as he gets closer he goes to reach out for it but sees a foot come down onto the bat holding it in place. Negan looks up eyeing Konnor staring down at him and smiles up.
"son of a bitch."
Rick drags Negan back and punches him hard in the face and Negan laughs out.
"so this is it then Konnor?"
Konnor looks down at the bat and begins whistling as he bends down taking it. He turns and begins walking off as he whistles to himself. Konnor turns back eyeing Rick punch Negan again and Konnor grips his hands around the bat eyeing the barbed wire. He speaks without looking as he hears the dirt bike motor next to him.
"is this really what we are gonna do?"
A hand comes out to him and he turns to eye Mason on the bike. Konnor nods his head towards Mason handing him the bat. Mason takes the bat firmly in his gloved hand and eyes the bat as he whispers.
"go home Konnor"
Konnor turns to Mason and Mason nods to his.
"I got this."
Mason kicks down starting up the dirt bike and Konnor shakes his head as he nods to Mason.
"your funeral."
Konnor walks away getting on a dirt bike and drives off and Mason sits on the bike watching Rick beat Negan. He turns his head sideways and drives the bikes towards Rick and Negan and holds out Lucile in one hand ready to swing. Mason looks forward eyeing Carl and goes to swerve but Carl hits him in the ribs with a pole knocking him off the bike and into the dirt. Carl takes out his gun pointing it down at Mason and Mason raises his hands in defeat.
"you got me, kid."
Mason smiles up to Carl as he motions towards Rick and Negan.
"I personally don't give a shit who wins. I just owed him one and I hate loose ends."
Carl holds his gun out and motions down to Mason.
"shut up."
Mason stops talking and glances by Carl as Enid comes walking up towards them. She stops and places a gun to Carl's head and Carl turns asking.
"Enid?"
She nods her head and motions to Mason.
"he won't kill rick."
Mason laughs and eyes over Enid.
"you seem so sure."
Enid states without looking at Mason.
"I am."
Enid glances to Mason and looks down at Lucille nodding to it.
"take the bat and do what you were going to do."
Mason bends down and grips Lucile in his hand tightly. He looks down at it and back to Enid.
"why?
Enid shakes her head and keeps her gun raised towards Carl.
"you didn't just cut me lose and save my life. you also protected me. the group you were with wanted to find me but you talked them out of it. your not a monster-"
Mason laughs to himself as he looks over Lucile.
"you don't know me-"
Enid nods to him.
"I do, you survived"
Mason glances towards Rick and Negan and Enid speaks.
"I trust you."
Mason grins and walks over towards rick and jams the edge of his bat into rick face knocking him out. Negan looks up smiling as he yells towards Mason.
"attaboy"
Negan goes to reach out to Mason and Mason jams him in the face with a bat knocking him out as well. He grips the bat and looks between the men shaking his head and hears a voice.
"what are going to do?"
He looks back eyeing Miya and stares down towards Negan. Mason studies him and shakes his head as Miya asks.
"you're not gonna kill him, huh?"
Mason glances back to his wife and shakes his head. He brings his fingers to his lips and lets out a loud whistles and a few dirt bikes appear. one of the boys get off of the dirt bike and Mason nods to him.
"bring the truck around Negan's going home."
Miya comes up to his side and brushes her hand against Mason's and whispers.
"you're making a mistake."
Mason nods his head.
"it's my mistake to make."
Negan comes to and Mason points the bat at him and Negan glances up and yells out.
"Mace!"
Negan eyes the bat over and stares up to Mason.
"so what are we going to do?"
Mason stares back at rick still laying in the dirt and then turns back looking down at Negan. Negan shifts in the dirt and smiles up at Mason.
"come on Mace you can't kill me. I've always looked out for you. Aren't we family?"
Miya comes up besides Mason and Negan glances up to her then back to Mason.
"I even looked out for her. I knew she was your wife I could have just left her there int hose woods. I saved her too."
Rick gets up to his feet and eyes Negan and Mason steps between them. He looks down at Negan and whispers.
"take this chance."
Negan gets to his feet and glances over towards Rick and Mason steps towards Negan.
"one loss won't kill us."
Negan reaches out and grips Mason's collar staring him in the eyes.
"he took it all. everything we built is gone."
Mason looks towards Rick and nods his head.
"there's worse coming and it will come. listen to the whispers of the walkers and it will be too late. this place will burn just like the sanctuary will"
Negan looks towards Mason.
"what are you talking about?"
Mason smiles towards Negan and then glances to Rick.
"both of you are so clouded by the normalcy of your communities that you're blind to what's coming."
Nagan shakes his head.
"you're losing it Mace."
Mason shakes his head
"no, you two need to adapt if you don't you will die Negan. They will come for you both and they will kill you. It's what she wants."
Negan stares down at Lucile in Mason's hand and shakes his head. He looks to Miya and then back to rick and laughs.
"mace I think you've been away from home just a bit too long"
A loud explosion sounds and Negan looks back and turns to Mason who nods to him as he whispers.
"it's begun."
Mason throws down the bat at Negan's feet and looks to rick.
"know your enemies she is coming for you."
