Walkers ambled around the RV, and off through the woods. The horde was breaking into splinters. Some stalking around the vehicles and the motel, others that were drawn to the light, and Castle's music, heading for the trees. It was the light that had gained the most attention and not just from the dead.
Vehicles pulled up, men and women jumped out, firing at the dead. They made no attempt to be silent about anything they did. Whole truck loads stormed the parking lot, and divided into teams, seeking and destroying as many of the dead as they could. The night lit up, as flares were shot into the sky. The scene erupted into chaos, as people dressed in fatigues scrambled everywhere. Two men stood in the center of the parking lot barking orders.
One small group hunkered down at the edge of the parking lot and set up a grenade launcher. In a moment, they launched. The wooded area light up, as the grenade exploded. "LET"S GET THESE THINGS CLEARED OUTTA HERE!" , "MOVE IT PEOPLE < WE ARE CLEARING THIS NEST AND MOVING OUT!"
Within barely a few moments, the battle had taken a radical turn, yet wheter for better or worse was still to be seen. What Marko was sure about is that when you hear gunfire erupt around you, and see a grenade being launched, you dive for cover. No exceptions.
Without thinking, Marko instinctively grabbed Tala's arm and brought both of them to the ground, just as the rain of blood and body parts pelted down onto them. These guys, whoever they were, were carrying some heavy ordnance, and obviously had no intentions of being quiet about it.
Keeping himself prone to the ground, he looked around. First checking on Tala, then Wyatt whom he couldn't spot anywhere. Marko drew his pistol, and looked to Tala. "We need to get to better cover" He shouted, the gunfire around him drowning out his voice. Spotting a low wall in the distance, he signalled Tala, and they would move when she was ready
Castle had managed to run a rather far distance back to the wooded area around the motel. Resting one hand on a side of a tree Castle tried to regain his breath. "Bugger me I need some bloody rum." Reaching down into his boot Castle pulled out a black flask that had a skull and cross bones image on the side. Taking a sip of the flask he then returned it back to his boot and stood up right and started thinking up his next move.
Suddenly out of no where he felt a strange sensation behind his nose and eyes forcing his face to scrunch up and forcing him to let out a mighty sneeze into his left arm and as he did an explosion in the distance went off launching body parts near castle. Castle with a rather puzzled look on his face looked at the bodies parts then back at where he sneezed. "wait did I do..." Before he could finish his thought a grenade landed on the ground near him drawing his attention. "Oh BOLLOCKS......"

Wyatt was just standing next to Marko and Tala as the unthinkable happened. Just as he thought they were clear and all walkers were gone, the chaos started all over. All of the sudden there were gunshots, more walkers, vehicles, flares. Seemed like a group of crazy people were trying to get everyone killed, not only the walkers but the whole group of survivors. Marko, Tala and himself all ran and tried to take cover behind something and it was because of searching for a good spot that they got split up.
Wyatt saw Marko and Tala running off and he turned around and ran after them, but it was then that he saw them drop to take cover, almost as if something really bad was going to happen. So he turned his head only to see someone with a grenade launcher. Wyatt jumped out of the way but the explosion caused him to fly a little further than expected. He landed on his shoulder which caused a lot of pain, Wyatt yelled out in pain, it felt like it was dislocated, but he didn’t know for sure if it was. Next thing was a shower of blood and guts, probably from the walkers that got hit by the grenade. He shook his head to get back to his senses. After that he slowly got up and used his free hand to support the shoulder that was hurting like hell. “Shit I hope everyone is safe.” Wyatt said to himself. After that he looked around searching for Tala and Marko, but the only thing he saw were the intruders slowly getting closer, killing everything on their way. Wyatt tried his chances and rushed towards the last place he saw Tala and Marko. Bullets flew past him but lucky none hit him, for now at least. Then he saw a small wall, which he could just jump behind, if that wall wouldn’t been there he would got hit by probably around ten bullets. Wyatt decided to wait there for a bit, before continuing his search.
( I let Wyatt hide there since I knew Tala and Marko where going for that small wall. Maybe they can meet up there )

Tala saw the vehicles converge on them,"What the fuck!" She gripped Marko's arm as people started exiting the vehicles and shooting. Damnit! We had this shit under control! She felt her body shift as Marko shoved her to the ground. She heard the explosion and body parts went flying. Who the fuck were these people? She lifted her head and felt Marko pulling her. She went with him and clutched her spear. She saw Wyatt,and yelled to him," over here!" She scanned and tried to lock eyes on the others. Another bomb went off over in the woods. Tala shot straight up,"Castle!" He was in there! Oh my god! These people were nuts! She screamed, eyes scanning the groups and locking on a tall man dressed in fatigues in the parking lot. Tala bolted, took off at a hard run, spear in hand. She shoved past dead and looked like a football player about to make a touchdown with how she weaves and avoided others in military garb trying to grab her. "Get her! "," what the fuck?", "she's a survivor," was cong fr the group of invaders. Tala sailed into the tal man. She sent him flat and straddled him, spear at his throat.
Mark instantly pushed the girls down as the gunshots sounded. The baby started crying and screaming as the explosions went off. "What the hell?" They had kids and they were being attacked. Mark handed the baby to the girls as he unslung his shotgun. "Dammit."
Making sure the shotgun was loaded Mark turned to watch the vehicles moving in. "Girls stay close to me." Mark said and looked at the RV. "We're moving to the RV. I'm going to fire whats left of the clip of my pistol and i want you two to make a dash for Ash and the RV." Mark checked his pistol clip. Eight rounds.
"NOW!" The biker stood pistol gripped in both hands. Leveling the gun on the first man in military fatigues he fired two shots one hit the mans chest the other went through his neck. The man collapsed struggling to breath. Mark turned his gun to the next figure and fired again.
Ash was caught off guard at the explosions. Shadow isntantly freaked at the explosions. He darted under the RV looking around searching for his master. Ash dove to cover Kiku as the explosions sounded. "You ok?" He asked as the gunfire started. He knew his crossbow was useless in this fight. He reached for his revolver but it was in the RV.
"Get to the RV. I gotta find the girls!" Ash said to Kiku before he stood up and started to run. Seeing Lilly get out of the Rv with his revolver he moved to her. After a wuick trade of weapons Ash made sure his gun was loaded. "I'm gonna grab the girls and try to get them in here."
Lilly nodded. "Alright I'll wait for them here." Lilly said as she pulled out her pistol from her waistband. Ash moved around the RV until he saw the girls and Mark. Mark stood and fired his gun as Ash Moved and raised his gun waiting for the girls.
Lilly was resting her head on the steering wheel when the gunfire, military vehicles, and the bombs made her look up. "Skylar..." She quickly threw back the curtain as she moved into the RV with Skylar and her Brother. "We're being attacked!" She said and pulled out a duffel bag. She pulled out two pistol and a hunting rifle. She slid the rifle and one of the pistols to Skylar.
"I'm giving you a pass on not walking on your ankle. Please help us keep everyone safe until we can get out of here!" Lilly said checking her pistol. Tucking it into her waistband she grabbed Ash's revolver off the table. Moving over to Skylar Lilly spoke softly and kindly to her. "That rifle can hold eight shots in each clip i have three pistol clips with me. There's more hunting rifle clips in this duffel bag.
Lilly opened the door out to the battlefield. She spotted Ash and traded his bow for his revolver. "I'm gonna grab the girls and try to get them here." Lilly nodded as she placed the crossbow inside the door. "Alright I'll wait for them here." Lilly was worried about Clementine regretting snapping on her when they met back up.
"Hell yeah!" Skylar said as Lilly handed her the guns. She looked over to her brother, and handed him the two guns. She dashed over to her bag, sucking up the throbbing of her ankle. She unzipped her backpack, and got out her Glock. She closed the back right after she got her hatchet and Machete.
Skylar handed her brother her machete since she was weakest with it. "You make sure you don't loose that." She said as she watched her brother put his backpack on. Skylar swung her backpack on her shoulders and moved toward the door. "Come on." She said as she was opening the door.
Gray followed his sister, machete in hand. He swung the machete at a few roamer heads, as Skylar was making swift chops with her hatchet. Gray saw the vehicles, and the spray of bullets and grenades. He pushed Skylar behind a wall. "Stay low, there's a lot of guts flying everywhere." He yelled over the sound of grenades. He could hear people yelling over the gunfire. Gray couldn't make out what the people were trying to say.
Gray set the guns that Sky had handed him down, and he took hold of his AR. He set up the shot with a man standing in front of a vehicle, holding a grenade. He took a breath, and squeezed the trigger. Gray hit him right on the forehead, and the man fell to the ground. "Skylar," He looked at his sister as she looked at him. Gray nodded his head, as Sky picked up the rifle and lined up the shot with a woman in the front shooting a gun. Then Skylar pulled the trigger.
Clementine grunted, hitting the ground rather hard an unexpectedly with Mark's help. Add on the rise of gunfire and explosions, and it took Clem a precious moment or two to realize what exactly just happened. She helped guide Lee to lay protected between herself and Dakota.
Instead of being lost, those precious few moments spent regaining her senses actually bout time enough for the way to be cleared. She slid the baby fully into her arms after quickly making sure she still had her things. On Mark's word, she hugged Lee to her chest with one arm, the other pushed up just far enough to let her legs get back up by running. She wrapped both arms around the bawling infant as she powered toward Ash.
Fearful tears in her own eyes, she glanced around the chaos. Hugging Lee tighter, she begged that Mark follow right behind them. Nearing Ash, there was something inside her, that had to try and make sure Tala was safe nearby. She, Dakota and Mark had left one whole group to find her. It would really dumb to to run off trying to find her, but she knew not doing anything to find big sister, it would haunt her,
Clem called out, ”Tala! Taaaalaa!” Her small voice may not carry very well over the din of gunshots, explosions, or little Lee's cries, but she tried once more, ”Taaalaaaa!” Then she was in the homestretch to the RV, and couldn't afford any further distractions. She clutched the baby tighter, and sped past Ash, straight past Skylar and her brother into the RV.
Breathing hard and in tears, she sat right down on an old familiar bench with little Lee still clutched in her arms. She sat trying to quiet and comfort the infant and herself at the same time.

Gunshots, explosions, stray bullets missing your head by an inch. Feels like war. Feels familliar
They crouched, keeping their bodies close to the ground, and made a dash for the relative safety of the wall. Bullets whizzed past above yhem as they moved, explosions shook the ground, once more they were showered in dirt, blood, guts and severed body parts. But they didn't stop. They stop, they die. He slid into cover, Tala close behind. Wyatt, too, had seeked the same place to hide. "Good to see you're alive" Marko nearly shouted. The gunshots still thundered around them
From his low cover, Marko could see the others making a desperate stand. Handguns, a bare few rifles and what? One single automatic weapon? Against dozens of soldiers armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers? They may take down a few of them, but in the long run, they didn't stand a chance. Run, goddamnit. Drive away. He feared fior the girls; RV walls were notoriously non-bulletproof.
Marko would soon discover that that wasn't the only thing he had to worry about.
Marko was taken aback, both by the bravery, and the sheer madness of what Tala did. He shouted after her to no avail. It looked bad. How could have forgotten about the other dozen guys with rifles?
Another gunshot rang out, then another, then one of them fell to the ground clutching his throat in futility, the blood flowing past the cracks between his fingers and down to his chest. Marko skipped a breath. Shit.
"Shit's about to hit the fan" He spoke to Wyatt, flipping off the safety on his pistol. "Get ready. It's not going to be fun for either side" Even if the strangers weren't out for their blood, they were now

Dakota fell hard, also becoming disoriented briefly by the combo of gunfire and explosions. She slid closer to Clem and helped cover baby Lee as she regained focus. Her arm swept her rifle back closer, Kota going over her her gear by feel. She kept her head down, ”What about the truck?”
A whole year of her life lay in the back of that truck. She almost dreaded leaving it behind as much as leaving behind any of her new family or friends...almost. Feeling Charlotte's bottle in the webbing of her backpack was some relief, but relief she would have to appreciate later. Mark's command and the danger of grenades and gunfire pushed all such concerns to the periphery.
Her legs powered her up right after Clem, and she dashed on toward Ash. Tears blurring up her young hazel eyes, ”Papa Bear!” Dakota rushed into hug Ash's side, and glanced back Mark's way. ”Mark! We made it! C'mon!” She squatted briefly down at catching sight of poor Shadow under the RV. "Come on boy. T-time to come inside."
Dakota hurried past Skylar and Gray, catching up with Clem inside. She swept her gaze around the inside of the RV, ”T-tala?” Her eyes only found Lilly, who she gave a tired wave. When she had heard Clem call out, Koda quickly told herself, Tala was just inside waiting for them, like Ash had been outside waiting. She set her rifle down, and took a seat beside Clementine. Seeing how tightly she was holding the baby, Koda gently lifted and pried Lee from Clem's arms to the infant settle in a more gentle hold. She was not far from tears herself, her heart still pounding nearly up into her throat.
Kiku felt Ash's strong arms protecting her. He shouted for her to go to the RV. Her "primitive" weapons were of little use in this bombardment, she to did as she was asked. Staying here on her own was no longer an option, she was going to have to depend on these people from now on. She climbed into the RV where she saw Lilly, she looked the woman up and down. She felt uneasy but was not going to let this get in the way of her southern manners, "Hello."
Ash was relieved as the girls made it across. Feeling Dakota hug his leg he placed a hand on her head. 'I got Mark sweetie." Hearing her call for Shadow Ash took his gaze from the biker to the bottom of the RV. "SHADOW!" Ash whistled.
Shadow whined shaking scared by the sudden loud noises. Seeing Dakota he made his way towards her but another explosion sent him cowering back. Terrified the dog didn't know what was going on. Hearing Ash whistle and call made him quickly scurry out under Ash's legs. Patting the dog on the head Ash pointed to Lilly. "Inside buddy come on!"
Rushing past Lilly the dog ran to the girls on the bench whining he paced in front of them waiting for his master. Ash waved for Mark. "Get your ass over here!"

Wyatt was glad when he saw Marko, but there was no sign of Tala yet. He heard hiw Marko said he was glad Wyatt was alive.
“Yeah, same here glad you made it, but where is Tala and I’m not sure if Castle is fine!” Wyatt yelled in a worried tone, the only way Marko would understand him was by yelling. “Argh.” He said when he felt another pain wave in his shoulder.
But soon he would learn they his shoulder was the least of his problems. Wyatt peeked over the wall and it was as if everything around him turned black as he saw Tala run off to one of the attackers. She shoved her speak in his throat and he fell down bleeding.
“Fuck, she is in big trouble we have to help, they will be furious!” Wyatt yelled once more as he grabbed one of his guns, he was only able to hold one due to his shoulder injury. He was even more worried now, not only about Tala, but what about Castle and all the others people?
Shortly after Marko told him shit would hit the fan and asked his to get ready. “Ok I’m ready tell me when and I’ll have your back!” He yelled.
Skylar pulled the trigger, and the bullet sailed into a woman's ear. She looked up from the scope, and saw commotion around the vehicles. She recognized it as Tala. Skylar watched Tala as she put the spear in the man's throat, and she pressed her eye up against the scope again. She focused on the people around Tala, watching what they were doing. Some were paying no attention to the commotion around them, but others were turning to Tala. Sky planted a bullet in a man's eye that was raising his gun at Tala, and a few of the people from the crowd spotted Skylar and Gray, and began to shoot.
Skylar ducked down behind the wall and pulled Gray down.Shit."We've got to go, or shit's gonna go downhill fast." Skylar said as she got onto her feet, still crouched. She encouraged her brother to get up.
Mark fired taking down another soldier. After the girls made it Mark dropped back behind his temporary cover. Four shots left. He checked his clip before sliding it back into his gun. His shotgun had four shots in it. Seeing Ash wave and call he knew it was now or never. Gripping his pistol he bolted for the RV. A soldier ran towards him raising his gun. Mark collided with him the bigger man knocking down the soldier.
The man fired his gun but the bullets went wild as Mark fired his shotgun into the mans chest. He didn't even get to cry out in pain as his body stopped moving. Another soldier came up with a blade. Smacking the blade with his shotgun Mark punched the mans neck with his hand holding his pistol. The soldier coughed dropping his weapon as Mark fired a single bullet into the Man's head.
"MARK LOOK OUT!" Mark turned just in time to see a gun leveled at his face and fire. His left eye exploded as blood poured out of the open wound. Mark howled in pain covering his injured eye with his hand as another explosion went off. Opening his right eye he saw the man who shot him trying to fire again but the gun clicked empty.
The biker lowered his hand from his eye and glared at the man. Grabbing the man Mark threw him into the side of the RV. He collapsed to the ground as the biker Straddled him dropping his shotgun and pistol. He started punching the biker getting more and more lost in the blind rage. He could hear someone yelling at him but he couldn't tell who.
He stopped punching the soldier and pulled out his machete. Mark jammed it into the mans stomach and began dragging it up. The soldier screamed in horrible pain as the biker cut open the mans stomach. Mark stoop up pulling out the machete as the man struggled to breath as blood poured out of the wound. Marks one working eye stared at the man. Picking up his weapons and the soldier he left the dieing man as he ran past Ash and Lilly into the RV.
Mark collapsed the adrenaline wearing off as the pain of his eye started to take over. He help his hand over the wound breathing deeply.
Marko saw the others turned to Tala, who was pinning down the man who looked to be their leader. It was when he noticed something: all of them were standing in the open, where anyone with a gun and one eye could hit them. It dawned on him, heavy as a sledgehammer: They never expected survivors, this was an undead cleanup operation.
And they, Marko and the others, were killing innocents.
"Suppressing fire, Wyatt" He tried to yell over the cacophany of gunfire and death still ringing in his ears. His conscience ached, but he had to save Tala somehow "They're not hostile. At least, wasn't suppose to be"
"Fire at will" He shouted as he peeked over the wall, intentionally aiming clear above the survivors' heads. The shots were meant to force them into cover, and so they did. Their attention on Tala was quickly broken once bullets started flying their way, all scrambling for cover, some diving to the ground, others found safety behind the vehicles
Tala stared down at the man beneath her. She screamed in his face," Who the fuck are you people and why are you attacking us!!" She gripped the spear and pushed just slightly. A pin prick of blood left his throat. The whole world had stopped for her. She was caught right here in this moment. Large brown eyes stared at her,"what! We came cause the flare, we came to kill the dead , not you, your people! " he glanced to her left , but it was too late. Tala didn't have time to react. The second man that had been giving orders was behind her and struck her in the back of the head with the butt of his weapon. " load this bitch in the truck, get moving, we need to sweep this place, look for other survivors and move on!" He was yelling at the men around them.
Marko and Wyatt's gun fire made then fall back to their vehicles. The whole parking area was chaos. The man Tala had knocked down crawled along, dragging her by the arms towards a truck." Help me! She's alive!" He shouted at his men,"There are survivors here, don't shoot, fall back!" He realized they had come in too hot, but Mike was calling the shots for the assualt. Mike had struck her.
Behind the truck now, he grabbed Mike and shoved him," You dumb mother fucker, there are survivors here!" He screamed in his face.
Mike sneered at him," I suggest you let go,Frank! It was my call and they were collateral dammage , God damnit, we can't take in everyone!" He screamed back at him.
Frank spotted the RV and pointed," let them go, then we can sweep!"
Mike shook his head," they might be infected, sides, they fired at is first!" He smirked at Frank," I'll let you keep her though, she can be your new toy!" He laughed at Frank and shoved him away,"Move, round these people up! Damnit! Shoot back, kill any who resist and let's get moving!"
Shauna Kelly: That helped, thank you
