Coach, the energy out there felt different.

Hey, a little play makes your day, and today it made the game.

Chapter 11:

Stay Alert,

Stay Alive.

Part 1 of 2

Here we go.

You good?

Because I ever could be with the damn bow and arrow.

Stay alert, stay alive.

Hey, uh,

there,

yes,

we got this.

You bet your ass we do.

Move!

Follow me!

Stay close!

Whoo, damn!

That's the one that killed Lisa!

And it'll kill you, too!

We need to get to cover.

Keep as far away as we can from Buffalo Bill.

There's no quick way to bring it down.

She's right.

We don't know what else is even in here.

Huh?

Damn it!

That thing is too freaking huge!

You're telling me?

Just get behind the cart!

Well,

at least the big guy doesn't seem interested in us.

Yet,

there's gotta be a way to take that bastard down.

One thing at a time.

Jeez, so many people watching.

It's sick.

So we got one infected so far.

There anymore?

God, Jesus, get the fuck away.

They ride horses now?

What is this shit?

The horse wasn't infected.

Didn't want to stab it, but if I have to, I will.

We have to stay close.

Keep our backs to each other.

We can't let any sneak up on us.

Sure, but

I'd at least think we see that one coming.

What the hell is big old Bill doing over there?

Trying to get out.

He's beating on the walls.

As long as it isn't us.

Of course, they put us in here with the one that did that to Lisa.

Back up!

Back up!

It's in the car!

Yes!

I cut it!

Damn, what was that?

Skinwalker!

Oh, nice shot!

I told you that I suck at this thing!

Yeah, fuck you all, too!

It's just gonna be a matter of time before Buffalo Bill notices us.

These others we can keep at bay, but that one?

There's nothing in the stadium that'll stop him.

Yeah, I doubt they even want us to.

Feels like a lose-lose in here.

Any tips from your journal for that one, Nick?

Nope, not really.

What if we tried what already worked with the Yetis?

What, fire?

Yeah.

All animals hate fire, right?

Yes!

We could use it to maintain distance from the infected, funnel them into an area where we could strike.

The horse for sure would react to the flames, at least.

Alright, you heard her.

Move to the dead tree.

We don't have gunpowder this time.

What are we gonna use to ignite it?

Go with the basics.

But you aren't serious.

That'll take forever.

Get some really dry kindling.

What if we use your bow?

Loosen the string?

Then it would really be worthless.

Here it comes again.

I'm gonna stab your fucking horse now.

That thing's got a spear, too.

Careful.

Yeah, well, mine's longer.

Isn't it how you use it?

Oh, ha ha.

Nick, focus on the fire.

I am.

Can't believe I'm doing some survivor shit right here.

Give it some air.

Make sure it can breathe.

Would you just watch?

My back?

Okay, I got this

Come on

Come on little guy.

We're gonna grow up to be an inferno and bring this whole fucking place down

I lost sight of the skin walker Bet it's hiding somewhere those things are sneaky

That's the one I'm worried about

This stick's only getting hot.

This ain't working my turn hold the katana Damn, my hands are all cramped now

Got smoke?

Got smoke!

Should have had her go first.

Well, I mean, I warmed it up, so...

Uh-huh.

The dry stuff, use it.

Catch.

Come on, catch!

Uh, um, someone's finally onto us.

Please, please.

We might need to move.

Real quick.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, it's going.

I got embers.

Don't smother it.

No, no, no, no time.

We gotta move.

Set it it up against a tree and hope it keeps going.

Front!

Head around the stadium pit.

Keep a distance and put more shit between us.

That shit ain't working.

I hear the skinwalker.

I don't see it, but I hear it.

Get away from the middle.

Stay against the wall.

How?

The hell are we going to do this?

One thread at a time, right?

The tree it's lit we got fire

keep going around till we move back to it oh it's really burning now spear

you missed barely that went right by my head

well it lost its spear now move

we're coming around again Grab the branches that are on fire.

Try and give us some more distance

spread them out

It's working keeping those two back

Not on all of them see Bill here don't care keep moving you gonna shoot that bow already and keep missing only gonna piss it off at this point What are we even doing now?

We're going in literal circles

I I don't know

Keep moving.

That's all I got for now We can't keep this up forever.

We have to figure out something what could possibly stop that thing!

I have to.

No!

No!

Back away from the keyboard!

Why are you doing this?

What were you trying to do with the computer, Alvin?

I have to do what I'm supposed to.

Please, I-I-I need to monitor the arena and the infected.

They've already been released.

So what were you really doing?

Borris said to come watch you.

Make sure you didn't try any shit.

I wasn't.

I- I'm only doing my job.

Really?

Then where did this radio come from?

Who gave you it?

Oh, uh

that

well, I found that.

Uh-huh.

Frequency in our normal channel, too.

This is the one we use.

Where's my backup, damn it?

Jacko!

My damn keycard won't open the door to infected management.

Yeah, uh, if it does that.

Then I'll handle this myself.

Tell me what you were doing, Alvin.

Jeez, you don't have to be so rough.

Well, that's my job.

The board knows something's up, and you're involved.

Just sit there till I'm done with you.

Huh.

Why don't we see who's on the other end of your radio?

Wait, no!

Don't you move, Alvin.

How are other targets doing?

Guards are getting closer.

I need help.

I'm trapped.

Where are you at?

Wait.

Who is this?

The radio's been compromised.

Don't say anything more.

Shit, just raid.

We're coming for you.

Sit tight.

Already got your other friend.

Damn it.

Shut up.

Just stay there on the curb and don't move.

You You move and we'll shoot you.

All right.

All right.

I won't.

Hey, what did I just say?

Or, ma'am, that they were trying to get to the stadium gate, but we stopped them before they could do any damage.

Good.

Now our game can continue.

Unabated.

Things are heating up in here.

Victor, I can't watch.

How are they doing?

Fine.

So far, keeping them at bay.

That fire is not doing much.

It is for the horse, at least.

They're using every inch they have right now.

Come on.

Take out the smaller one so you can focus on the big one.

Yeah, that'll be the best option.

But even then, I don't know what damage they can actually do against it.

Just wanted to let you know.

Your other friends will be joining us shortly.

Oh, no.

Maybe you shouldn't have given yourself up, Mira.

Then again, going against the games will always end up a lost cause.

We'll see about that.

You know, it's always better to fold when you have a losing hand.

Minimize the damage already done.

Or you just have to wait for the river card.

Oh, please.

The last card has already been played.

It's time to call.

You have nothing left.

There's a tunnel entrance.

I can see the grate.

Just a little further, demon.

We're almost there.

Dodd.

Dodd.

Todd!

I see it too.

Something's burning inside Grimm.

Maybe Nick and the others are trying something on their own.

Dodd?

Yeah, my friends are like that.

Here, you get off first.

Can you cut the lock on the grate?

Dot!

Alright, demon, you can stay here, or if you need to run away, do that, alright?

Be safe, okay?

Dot!

My whole life now revolves around speaking to things I can never talk back.

Yeah, probably a good idea, demon.

I'd run from this place, too, if I could.

Dot, dot.

Spread out the glow sticks so we know our way back out of here.

I remember how much of a maze this place can be.

But at least this time, we have flashlights.

Todd, Todd.

Well, I guess we should head this way until...

Dodd!

Yeah, I hear it too.

Are those gunshots?

That's gotta be one of ours.

Who else would be fighting back?

Which way is that coming from?

Dodd!

Dodd!

Alright, you know?

Then Then you lead.

Come on, guys.

Hang in there.

We're coming.

We're coming.

I got it.

I got the skinwalker.

Great, kid.

Don't get caught.

Two more to go.

Keep moving.

Keep heading around again.

I am.

I am.

It's a damn racetrack.

Nick, what if we both charge the horse at the same time?

Like we did to the ice queen.

But without the rope?

Like you on the right and me on the left?

It won't have any way to turn fast.

Then I can stab it.

Will that work?

Will you get trampled?

I mean, the horse is scared as shit.

I don't think so.

It's also trying to keep a distance from the big one too, so.

I'll toss some fire branches behind.

Really cut off its retreat.

Do it.

Get in position.

Here it comes.

Yeah, we know.

Now!

Almost.

Almost!

You got it!

You got it!

We're the heavy motherfucker!

I didn't even see him get close!

At least Bill did us a favor.

That's two dead.

Three if you count the four whores.

Where's Nick?

Where's Nick?

Nick!

Nick!

Bill hasn't cornered!

We gotta distract that big fucker!

Hey!

Hey!

Over here!

You don't want me!

Come on!

He is locked into Nick.

I can't pull him away!

We have to do something!

Fuck!

I'm at the wall!

That's it!

Come on!

Come on!

Over here!

Get away from him!

Oh my god!

Vera, breathe!

Just breathe!

You're lucky that wasn't worse.

We can't get it!

Vera!

Missy!

Damn it!

I don't think there's anything we can do!

and now back to descendants

holy

you watching this about to squish the contender

what's that payout

not good

help and think.

Do something, do something.

What do you think you're doing?

Sit down, Alvin.

No.

Is that how it's gonna be?

Okay, then.

Aha!

Back up!

What the hell is that?

This?

Oh.

This is a bone growth from an infected ice crawler.

It has been sharpened with with its teeth and is now embedded with the saliva.

So what?

Get away from the controls!

I'm warning you!

Yeah, what you have may cut me, but this...

This will turn you into one of them.

Bullshit.

You know what that's like?

Painful from what I hear.

It feels like your eyes take a back seat in your skull.

Trapped forever to watch in horror.

Sit down, you freak!

Then stop me.

Ah, damn it!

There we go.

What the hell did you just do?

What did you do, Alvin?

A new contender has entered the ring.

Holy shit.

Get back here, damn it!

Hey, hey, you don't want me, big fella!

You don't.

I wish I could stick one of these in your fucking green eye

What the fuck was that?

Yeah, yeah, go check it out right

go on go on

oh Thank God!

Nick!

I thought you were...

Yeah, me too.

Something pulled him away.

Great.

What else do we have to deal with?

Whatever it is, it gave me a chance.

But uh, Merrick, are you okay?

Knocked the shit out of you.

I...

I don't think anything's broken.

Just skinned and bruise up.

What's coming through the tunnel?

What the hell have they got left?

What the fuck is happening?

Not part of your plan?

Maybe there's still an ace up someone's sleeve.

Quiet!

Jekyll, what the hell is going on?

Something got overridden.

I couldn't stop it, ma'am.

I couldn't.

Ma'am, ma'am.

What do you want me to say?

This isn't part of the script!

Make them think this was our idea but the odds in the game this changes everything just do it all right all right I'll improvise

what a bloody mess

yeah

look no no no

no look

no way

Can't be.

That's a behemoth, like in the old days.

I thought those were all dead.

Apparently, not out of retirement for this one time only,

we give you the undefeated champion, Frito the Magnificent.

Is this good?

No,

damn it.

Anything she doesn't like, I'm betting, is

just sit there and shut up.

This changes nothing.

Maybe they'll kill each other.

I don't think we'll be that lucky.

This isn't part of their plan, is it?

I doubt it.

There were only supposed to be three.

Hey, what if this is someone on the outside trying to help us?

Alvin?

Could he have done this?

Oh, thank you, Peepee Pants.

Come on,

damn.

They are really going at it.

And we better start figuring out out what to do because whoever wins this fight, they're coming for us next.

Where are we?

What part of Prem is this?

God!

The slave camps?

How do we get all the way over here?

Are they fighting back?

Finally?

It's not them.

The guards are shooting at someone over there.

Dot!

No!

Dot!

Dot!

Dot, is that you?

Of course it's a motherfucker!

Get down!

Nice going!

Now they're shooting at us!

Dot!

Stay behind the barricade!

Dot!

Alex, you came back!

Who is that?

Nakoma!

I'm stuck over here.

Yeah!

Now, so are we.

What are you doing?

Trying to help.

Why would you?

Trying to make things right.

Okay, so now how do we get out of here?

Where are the shots coming from?

Up in the guard towers.

I can't go anywhere.

Yeah, neither can we.

Stay down.

Frag out.

Didn't reach with the grenades.

I got no clear shot.

It's all right.

Did you get help?

Yeah, we're it.

Wonderful.

Where's everyone else?

Stuck in the stadium.

We tried to get them out, but the boar must have realized what we were doing.

Something's going on over there, that's for sure.

Dot.

Uh-oh.

We got company.

Three more goons coming this way.

Keep them back.

Dot, shoot.

Damn it.

They're getting closer.

Nakoma, others are moving to flank us.

Does that mean we're fucked?

Kinda.

Dot, huh?

The hell with that?

We should run for it.

Out in the open?

With those snipers up there?

Rather go down shooting than die stuck in some corner.

Dut.

You too, huh?

Not.

All right, fine.

We make a break on three.

Ready?

Got my darts ready.

Three, two.

Hold up.

Wait.

They're firing on us.

Get down.

Oh no.

Everybody take cover.

Take cover.

One of them just got picked off.

A second.

Dot.

I have no idea.

I can't get any of this shit.

What the hell was that?

The guards in the towers.

They're gone.

I think they're dead!

I don't know!

Dot, stay down!

I'm gonna look!

Hostiles down!

All of them!

It's clear!

No shit!

That wasn't you?

Look at the size of the hole in them!

My rifle can't do that!

Dot!

What?

Over there!

On the perimeter wall.

Is that one of yours?

I thought that might be one of yours.

Dot!

Dot!

Dot, Dot!

She's with you, right?

Right?

No way!

Didn't think I'd see you again for a while.

Yeah, those were the bad guys, right?

No, please tell me those are the bad guys.

Really bad ones.

Can't believe you came.

Well, I couldn't let you just walk away like that.

Gotta make sure I get my stuff back, right?

Right.

That was why.

Oh my god.

You're...

you're Gloria Anderson.

Yeah, that's right.

Oof.

Now, those were the

first

non-infected I've had to deal with.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Dot, got.

They were horrible, trust me.

Look who they were keeping in.

That's their slave camp.

Jesus.

All those people.

Okay, maybe it all feels so bad now.

Tie.

How did you get here so fast?

Look, a while back, I traded a caravan for some good fuel.

I'm sorry, kid.

I just couldn't let you take my only working truck.

We need to get to the stadium now.

Don't.

I'm coming too.

Wait, what do I do?

See all those gates?

Break Break them open.

Let these people go free.

There's a tunnel entrance over there.

We mark the way out with glow sticks.

We'll take them out of here.

To where?

Just head away from the city.

This place isn't going to be safe for long.

If anyone wants to stay and fight, let them.

Alright.

I can do that.

I'm glad you're here, Gloria.

Yeah.

Me too.

This is kind of fun.

Who knew?

We should get out more often.

Well, let's not go crazy, okay, kid?

Come on, this way.

We have to hurry!

Those two monsters are gonna kill each other in the pit.

The people didn't pay to see this.

The bets are all over the place.

It's a fucking disaster.

Hmm.

This is giving the contenders time to plan and coordinate.

We can't have that.

Fine.

They want to change the game?

So can I.

Jackal!

Yeah!

Are you in infected management still?

I am!

But that little bugger Alvin stuck away!

He doesn't matter now.

Go to the control board.

Release every infected we have in containment into the stadium.

What?

You can't be fucking serious!

Do I sound like I'm joking?

Do it.

Do it now!

Alright then.

You're the boss.

You sure about this?

They forced my hand.

Why play fair when they are?

Fucking hell.

Oh, you're gonna love this next part.

It's time for the ultimate deathmatch.

Oh,

they don't like that.

It's a deathmatch.

It ain't good.

Whatever.

Shit.

More infected coming through the entrance tunnel.

They're rigging the game.

Stay close.

We watch each other's back, no matter what.

It's worked so far.

I knew it.

This game's unwinnable.

At least we're here together.

Right, Nick?

Today, Mira.

Oh, fuck.

That's a lot.

Let's take them out one by one.

Here we go.

Nick, fire an arrow.

Never mind.

Fuck.

Are you focused?

There's just too many

incoming.

Incoming!

We have more hostiles on the way!

Dot!

Area's clear!

Riley!

Riley, are you okay?

Riley?

She's here?

And others from Westport, too.

Alex?

How?

We snuck out of the arena.

We went and got help.

We came to rescue you, but then

died.

No, I was going to say it didn't work.

Don't worry about that.

It's all she says.

They were about to take me away.

We need to hurry.

But struck.

It's our only way to get them out.

Wait.

What's in the truck?

A bomb.

It'll blow the stadium door open so Nick and Vera can escape.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you hearing what's going on in there?

You'll release all those things too.

That'll make it easier to get your friends.

A major distraction.

That's the plan.

Seems like a really shitty plan.

It's the only way to get them out of the stadium.

Trust me, we've been over this.

Got it.

Fine, whatever.

Do it.

It's set.

Run, 60 seconds.

Get to cover.

Oh, shit.

I wanted the Jurassic Park the Rasses, but I didn't want to be stuck in the damn cage with T-Rex when we did it.

Hey, I finally got one.

Good for you, Nick.

I don't know if I can keep this up.

They keep coming.

This won't ever end, will it?

We can't let them win.

We have to keep going.

We have to keep.

Holy shit, what was that?

What happened?

Hard to see through all this dust.

Something just blew a big damn hole in the wall.

Now we have our way out.

We're alive.

Descendants will return next week.
