Chapter 8

Game Over

Part Two of Three

Ow, my back sucks.

I slept on a rock last night.

Don't know how you got any sleep.

Hold up here.

I need to rest.

There any water left in the pack?

Dot

great

dot, dot.

Um

what do you

a cactus?

There's not gonna be enough.

Is that even safe?

Oh shit.

It does have water.

It's worth it

You you want your own

all right

What about these cactuses

only the round ones

Where'd you learn all this

dot

I'm doing my best here,

but is there any way we can get more than than one word out of you?

You kind of said something before.

Wanna try that again?

Dot!

Easy, easy.

Alright.

If you can't, you can't.

We'll think of something.

Wait.

Can you write?

Draw words in the sand.

You can't write?

Dot.

Well,

there goes that idea.

Don't stress yourself out.

Don't worry about it.

We'll manage.

I can figure out maybe fifty percent of your dots now.

Dot.

See?

I know what that means.

Dot.

And now you're just a little impressed.

You know,

I don't think we're gonna make it back home.

Back to Westport on just cactus.

Dot.

Not like this.

There just ain't shit out here.

Come on, we might as well see if there's anything on the road.

We're far enough from Prim now, should be safe.

Hold up,

is that

thought I saw something behind us?

Never mind, Some cactus shadow or something.

I'm seeing all these heat wave things, you know.

A mirage.

You doing okay?

What?

Of course you are.

You're a tough one.

Careful through here.

The rocks are pretty uneven.

You know,

this road looks a little familiar.

What highway is this?

What's that sign say?

95?

Why does this feel so familiar?

Dot.

I've been on this road before.

Dot?

I know where this will lead us.

That would mean the Colorado River's...

Yeah, right there.

Right over there.

Dod?

But the bridge isn't there anymore.

You think you can help me swim across?

Dot?

Because I know someplace we can go.

We can make it there on foot as long as we don't run into any infected on the way.

With what we have right now, I can't imagine we'd last much longer out here.

Dig deep!

Come on!

Climb!

Run!

Just go!

Barrett, get out of here!

No!

I'm not leaving you behind!

Get your ass in, gear, soldier!

My arms are shaking!

I don't care!

One hand in front of the other, just a little further!

I can almost reach you.

Don't look down.

No, no, no.

Just a little further.

You're close.

Grab my hand.

Hurry.

The rocks.

You're loose here.

I'm losing footings.

I got you.

Don't fall.

The dirt is unstable.

Perfect.

Use it against them!

Push my rocks over!

Hurry!

Back up!

Back up!

It's giving way!

Started an avalanche climbing up!

Pretty good, right?

Totally intentional.

The bulls.

They stopped trying to to scale the cliff.

They're just looking for another way up.

We just bought ourselves some time.

Come on.

No matter what, keep following the river.

Is it much further?

I wouldn't think so.

The arena couldn't be that long.

There has to be a northern limit.

My arms.

They can't move.

We'll find a place to rest up ahead.

Just need to put as much distance as possible between us and those bulls.

Wait.

Is that...

There's more buildings.

What?

A lot bigger than where we stayed last night.

This looks like a whole abandoned town.

They got cars, too.

That must be where the other tribe lives.

And probably where our exit is, too.

How are we going to be able to get close enough to search?

They could be hiding anywhere in there.

Follow me.

If this worked once, it'll work again.

The mud

cover ourselves, mask our scent,

and I think it's time we wear these.

You really think wearing these nasty, rotting coyote skins is going to help?

I figure this is the only way we're ever getting close.

You'd rather just walk exposed and out in the open

if you think we need to, I don't like it either, but it's the only option I see right now.

Okay,

we're getting out of here.

Whatever it takes, right?

Whatever it takes.

Descendants will continue after a word from our sponsors.

And now, back to Descendants.

You know,

I've decided I don't like the snow.

Send my eyes back to California where it's warmer.

Prim is on the California border.

You have mountains, too.

Whatever.

You know what I mean.

Hold up.

Hold up.

You see that?

We found one.

Dang.

Look at this.

That can't be the entrance to one of their caves.

It's almost...

beautiful.

Tanya was right.

Look at it.

They decorated all around it.

Like...

like an ice sculpture.

A bunch of figures and shapes.

No clue what the hell any of it is, but...

Should we go around?

Look at the back of the skin again.

It's inside that cave?

Our exit to this shithole?

Has to be.

They would put it in the worst place possible.

They don't want anyone to find it or get that far.

Which would mean...

Uh-huh.

Look over there.

On that tree.

Smile for the camera.

This place is being watched.

Oh man.

Now I'm sure we gotta go in there.

If the cave's small enough, enough, it'll make it easier to defend ourselves.

They won't be able to come at us from all angles.

Yeah, but less places for us to run away to.

So we keep the torch?

Why not?

Best weapon we've had so far.

If it worked on the Yeti, then I'm betting.

I was just thinking about the rocks eating up, you know?

That camera isn't the only thing that's watching us.

Shit.

I hear another order.

You know.

They're all around us.

Torch the place.

Light up any bushes you can.

Keep them away.

It's all wet.

It's not lighting.

You alright?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll be fine.

Just go!

Get in the cave!

Got one.

Got one in here already.

Stab me!

I can't get past the armor!

Turn up the heat!

Let's shoot it!

Save the ammo!

Just burning already!

Yeah!

Keep it up!

Yeah!

Yeah, where you think you're going?

Now, now, now!

Stab it now!

Yeah, yeah, don't like that shit now do you

One down they don't like the flames either here take these branches make some torches put them near the cave entrance

Oh, I found some old clothes in here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, burn those

Oh man, oh man, oh man, I think

ew!

What?

I think these were the other contenders!

They didn't make it!

I don't think they'll mind now.

Keep lighting more fires!

Oh man.

At least it's keeping them from coming in the cave.

What now?

Well,

that way it takes us further in.

I think we have to continue.

Oh shit.

Um, I think the fire might be getting out of hand.

Oh, back up!

Get further in!

It's caving!

Oh.

Shit.

Stuck now.

At least they won't come at us from that way.

Oh man.

Look at this

nasty ice crawler thing.

It's dead, right?

Yeah, but

check out all of those bone groves.

I mean, they're everywhere.

It's crazy to see what they're becoming.

That's not all.

Bring that light over here.

Whoa.

Is that writing?

Infected symbols?

Nope.

It's words.

Someone scratched it into the wall.

The key is a cold heart.

What the hell does that mean?

It means never get attached to anyone.

Good advice, Wall.

No, it's a clue.

Obviously, it's a clue.

You think I didn't figure that out?

Doesn't mean I have any idea.

Shit!

They're trying to dig through the cave in.

Then we need to move.

This cave only goes one way.

This is more like a tunnel.

They dug this.

It's infected made.

You sure?

Yeah.

Look at the handprints.

It's not the first time they've done it.

You've seen this before?

Kind of.

But never gotten this deep in.

Because why would you, right?

Exactly.

Should we be worried about running out of air?

Well, they need to breathe too, so I wouldn't think so.

Seems fine.

The key is a cold heart.

Yeah, so.

What is that?

Like, the heart of the tunnels?

The very center?

Where they all lead to?

Would make sense.

Dang.

This ramp's down.

We're going deep underground now.

These caverns can't be that big, can they?

I mean...

Hold up.

I see a light up ahead.

An exit?

I don't think so.

It opens up.

Gets bigger.

The heart.

Oh, no way.

You seeing this?

It's one big fucking den.

Place is huge.

They got holes in the top to let air and lighten, but do you see any affected?

It's empty.

They made all of this?

More ice sculptures.

All over the walls.

This place hasn't been here that long either.

These are new.

Don't touch anything.

They use traps, remember?

A fucking ice palace.

Look at this picture carved in the side.

Those are their symbols.

Like some kind of writing?

Mm-hmm.

You sure?

Yeah.

They can speak, can't they?

They can do that.

Smart bastards.

I told you.

They're more dangerous than people think.

Look at this piece here.

It almost looks like a chair.

Made of solid ice

That would mean one of them sits in it.

I don't want to be around long enough to find out who.

We have to hurry.

This has to be the heart.

Right?

So, where's the key?

Uh-oh.

There's a bunch of other tunnels leading off from this one.

We won't be able to defend ourselves if then let's move quick, okay?

What are we even looking for?

Another clue or the key is a cold heart.

The keys are

the fuck does that mean?

He is a co-

Wait

Is that is it towards the back a metal grate?

It looks like the one we went through to get in the arena

It's all iced up here move the torch close melt it open

This has to be it

we made it we

oh No There's a walk.

There's a fucking big-ass padwalk

No way

It needs a damn key.

I think maybe the key is a cold heart might be literal

So where could it be?

Oh shit

They're coming

Which tunnel do you hear them

every

one

Up there on top going hard Don't miss.

I won't.

Wow, that wasn't bad.

Two down.

Blood tunnel.

Shit, did you even need me at all?

Fan out!

Find that key.

Okay, it has to be in here, right?

I don't have many rounds left.

Maybe it's frozen in the wall or...

Grint it, you're sick.

You good?

Took a few tries, but I got it.

Stay close to me.

Nothing right.

Two more.

That one's still moving.

How many more shots you have?

Not as many as I'm hearing right now.

Hurry up.

Look, damn it.

Well, I found another camera.

They have one in here, too.

They want a good view?

We'll break that shit.

Not worth our time.

Is this it?

No, that's it.

This is it.

Look out, it's right behind me.

Damn it, this

shit.

Shit, no.

It's got me.

It's got me.

Help!

I can't get a close up!

I can't.

Focus!

Breathe.

Focus.

Pull.

You.

I can't believe you actually.

Move!

Come on!

More are coming!

Get your damn spear!

You saved me.

Yeah, and I can only do that so many times.

Now come on!

I can't believe it.

I just...

That shot that was one in a million in you.

what just happened

I stopped

why

I think I know whose chair that is there's a leader

yeah

it usually is

the tribe's out

Um

that's way too many.

I know,

and I don't have nearly enough rounds

that's one ugly motherfucker.

Don't tell her that.

Oh no,

I think I found our key.

What?

It's frozen.

In the center of her chest.

No

fucking way, man.

That's impossible.

Of course, that's where they'd put it.

And

what the hell do we do now?

She's just waiting to bunrush us, isn't she?

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it.

What do we do?

Bunrush her first.

You still have that rope?

Get close to me.

On three, we take your end and we clothesline the bitch, then cross behind her.

Drag her ass down that tunnel.

Exactly.

Best chance we have.

On three.

Don't let our arms free

light him up, Nick.

Keep him off us.

Get the key, get the key,

give me that.

Use the torch here, here

Come on, bird!

Hurry!

They keep coming, damn it!

Oh shit!

We stole their queen!

I think I got it!

I think I...

I'm out!

I'm out!

Run away!

Head deeper into the tunnel!

Wait, I have it!

I got the key!

Get the torch!

Great!

But we got too many of those things on our tail.

This way, the tunnels must connect somehow.

We'll have to find our way back around.

Shit, shit, shit, shit.

They're gaining on us.

Left entrance, left again.

Come on!

I hope you're right.

If I'm not, then.

Light!

I see light!

It's the den!

Move!

Take the key and get the exit open!

Hurry!

Come on!

Come on!

Did it it work?

It's unlocked, but it's stuck in the ice.

Pull, damn it, pull together.

I got it.

It's over.

Get in, get in.

Walk it, walk it.

Go, go, go.

Go deeper away from the gate.

No shit.

Oh my goodness, Nick.

We did it.

We did it.

We're free.

We're free.

We're alive.
