The Walking Dead Season 5: Episode 5: Fight together

Scene 4: Live on

Rick's group stands there, awaiting his orders. He nods his head to them, and they begin lowering  their weapons. Rick flexes his fingers to Maggie on top of the highest  roof where only he can see her. She needs her ascent, as she starts shooting sniper fire at the Terminus citizens as soon as Rick and his group storm out. Rick's group begin diving and shooting up towards the Terminus citizens on the rooftops. They begin dropping like flies, crashing into crates, falling off buildings, Rick and his group take cover behind boxcars and buildings to shoot at the Terminus citizens on the ground. Two more church people get killed in the process.  Maggie snipes out plenty of Terminus soldiers on the ground, giving Rick and his people more breathing room. Carol is sniping from the opposite side, and the two church people are also sniping on opposite corners. Someone grabs Maggie's sniper rifle, causing it to go haywire, and accidentally shoot Tyreese in the arm. The Terminus man that attacked her smacks the sniper rifle out of her hands so it falls off the building.

He hits her in the face, causing her to nearly topple over the side of the building. She regains her balance and hits him in the face back, causing him to fall onto his back. She gets on top of him and begins beating in his face, despite him being twice her size. He headbutts her, giving her an extremely bloody nose. He throws her off him and kicks her in the ribs. Several times. "You little bitch!" she turns over, coughing up blood. He brings down the heel of his foot into the small of her back. Maggie is almost broken, she's about to give up when Glenn and Beth's faces appear in her mind. Before he can stomp on her again, she rolls onto her back and grabs his ankle and shoves him backwards. He falls onto his back, as she gets up and begins hitting him in the face again. He grabs her by the throat and flips her over and slams her on the ground, he gets on top of her, and begins choking her. Maggie tries to pry the man's hands away from her throat, but can't. The man's grip is like iron. She begins struggling for breath so she does the only thing she could think of.

Using the last of her energy, she pulls the man's face towards hers and kisses him. He becomes distracted and begins to release his grip on her throat, really getting into the kiss. Maggie uses her moment to swiftly pull her knife out of her belt and sink it into his stomach. He gasps with pain as she pushes the knife deeper into his stomach. She kicks him off of her, and loses the grip on her knife. She tries and push him off the roof, but he digs his hands into hers, not letting up. She grunts with pain as she uses all her might to try and push him off the roof, she then sinks her teeth into of his hands he yelps in pain as he releases the building with that hand, and she grabs her knife and sinks it into his other one, he screams with pain and falls, almost taking her with him. The only thing that keeps her up there is she sunk her knife into a piece of wood, she climbs back up and stands there panting. She then lets out a scream of triumph.

 Back on the ground, Rick and his group are struggling. They have been behind cover behind boxcars and various buildings. They were now just a simple 15 people trying to take cover and fight them off. It seemed like whenever the snipers cleared a path for them, more Terminus soldiers appeared across their new path. Rick and Morgan are behind a boxcar together shooting towards Terminus soldiers firing at them inside the large area of boxcars. "You guys shouldnt've come!" Morgan shouted to Rick over the gunfire. "I'm beginning to think the same thing!" Rick replied. "You know, I'm beginning to th-" Morgan began, Rick notices a Terminus soldier on top of a rooftop with a rocket launcher pointed at them. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Rick yells, grabbing Morgan and diving behind another boxcar with him. Rick hears his heart beating in his ears, hearing nothing else after being that close to death. He's hit in the face.

Rick falls to the ground, coming to his senses, he realizes that a Terminus soldier is on top of him, fighting him. Morgan is off to the side, unconscious. Rick headbutts the man and hits him in the face, and throws him off of him. Rick kicks him with his good leg, cracking his ribs. The man grabs his leg and sinks his teeth into it. Rick cries in pain as he falls backwards, the man pounces on him hitting him in the face. The man pulls a machete out of his belt and pins Rick under his knees, he raises the machete, and just when he's thinking, "This is it, this is the moment I'm going to die," The man gets shot in the chest three times so the machete misses its aim, and cuts off a piece of Rick's hair instead. The man falls off of him, and Rick looks up to see who his savior is. It's Abraham, holding his rifle with his supply pack and everything

Rick is shocked. He is even more shocked when Abraham walks over to him and reaches out a hand to help him up. Rick takes it and Abraham pulls him up. "I may be a hothead Rick, but you need people, and so do I, we're both born leaders, we should fight together instead of against each other. Rick nods his head. "Alright, but if you ever, and I mean ever lay a finger on my son again, I'll kill you." said Rick. Abraham and Rick head over and help Morgan to his feet, just as he regains consciousness. Morgan peers at Abraham delighted. "Abe? That you? Holy shit, we thought you were dead." "Well I'm not, am I?" "Were you the one firing that rocket launcher?" Rick asked. Abraham pats a large lump in his pack. "Yep, you're welcome." "It'd be nice if you could do that again." said Rick. Abraham shakes his head. "No, I'm out of rockets." "Damn it." said Rick. "But I have a few Molotov's, interested?" Abraham asked, pulling three Molotov's out of his pack.

Tyreese and Sasha thought they wouldn't make it much longer. They had been shooting at the Terminus soldiers for about 10 minutes, and none of the gunfire had let up yet. It didn't help with Tyreese's poor aim. Sasha and Tyreese lean against the boxcar, panting. "You gotta any ideas Ty?" Sasha asked. "Me? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one." said Tyreese. Sasha laughs. 'There's no time to think right now." Just then, a Molotov lights up the area around them, killing several Terminus soldiers. The whole area of boxcars is let on fire, making a crispy aroma. The gunshots fade away as Tyreese and Sasha get the advantage and shoot them in the confusion. They check around both sides to make sure it's clear.  When it looks clear the two walk carefully out and test their footsteps. It seems to be really quiet minus the distant gunfire of other fighting. When it seems safe they smile at each other. Just then, there's a lone gunshot as Sasha as hit in the chest. Knocking her to the ground.

Tyreese's smile fades as his expression becomes shocked and he rushes towards her, the blooding is wetting all over her chest and she begins gurgling blood. "Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, Sasha!" he carries her to around the back of the boxcar. Where he rips off his shirt sleeve and tries to clog the blood. "Sasha look at me, you're gonna be alright, okay? I promise you-" "Ty," said Sasha weakly. "It will be ok, you will live through this, you will still have Rick, and Daryl, and Glenn. You gotta stay strong for them, you're my big brother, and I love you." "No, no, no, no, Sasha don't say that, you're gonna make it, you're gonna be fine. you'll make it, and-" "Tyreese, no. You listen to me, you will live on, you're gonna fall in love, and you're gonna have children and you're gonna win. You're a survivor. You know people always think I'm the stronger of us too because I'm more of a hard ass, but you are, you always see the best in people, like with Carol. I love you Tyreese, you're my big brother, you're gentle, and kind, and... and- and..." Tyreese is blinking back tears the whole time Sasha is talking, she dies in his arms.

"Sasha? Sasha? Come on, don't do this to me! Sasha! SASHA!" yells Tyreese, shaking her. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!" Tyreese holds her close, sobbing uncontrollably. He wails in despair. "No, no, no, Sasha, Sasha." says Tyreese in between sobs. Just then he looks up and sees a Terminus soldier pointing her gun at him, Tyreese's face contorts into fury, as for the first time in his life, he aims a gun correctly and hits the woman square in the forehead with his rifle. He stands up and hoists Sasha over his shoulder, and begins walking through the desolate ruins of Terminus. A Terminus soldier approaches him and he impales him through his throat with the rifle. Tyreese cracks his hammer over the head of another Terminus soldier about 8 times, splattering blood and brains all over himself. When another Terminus soldier steps in front of him, he uses his left to gouge her eyes out. Tyreese walks through the nearly destroyed Terminus with his dead sister on his back, and a warpath not to be crossed.

The rest of the group escape the Terminus engulfed in flames, once out, the six church people go their separate ways without even saying a word. Rick notices that everyone looks somehow beat up, most notably Maggie, who had clearly gotten into a fight. Rick looks around to make sure everyone is around. He noted that Tyreese and Sasha are gone. "Where's T-?" Rick turns around to see Tyreese heading up the hill, holding Sahsa's body in his arms, sobbing covered in blood. Everyone is speechless. When Tyreese comes up to the hill, he looks around at them, and sets Sasha's body on the ground and pulls out a handgun. "Can I get a moment please?" he asks. "Tyreese, you don't have to be the one-" Glenn began. "YES I DO! Just please, give me a moment." the rest of the group stalks off as Tyreese lays down with Sasha, and sobs against her chest. The group hears Tyreese sobbing, then it is cut off by a gunshot. He comes back towards them, with Sasha's body wrapped up in a blanket over his shoulder, his face expressionless. The others look at each other nervously, then follow Tyreese and leave the uninhabitable Terminus behind.
