A New World (ROTWD)

This is the twenty-first episode of Rise of the Walking Dead.

## Story

Allen was brought to the prison's infirmary.

"Does anyone here have any medical training?" Axel asks. No one responds.

"I guess not," Axel states.

"I do, but it's only on animals, not people," Hershel replies.

"It doesn't take a doctor to figure out that I'm gonna die," Allen states.

"I think that I might have an idea on how to deal with you," Glenn replies.

"What is it Glenn?" Allen asks.

"How about we cut off your leg?" Glenn answers.

"It's a risky move, but it can work," Dexter states.

"Get it over with," Allen replies, "I would rather have one leg than become undead."

"What if you don't make it?" Andrea asks.

"Andrea, how good are you with kids?" Allen asks.

"I did so some babysitting jobs in high school," Andrea answers.

"And I never had any kids. I always wanted to become a father," Dale replies.

"Basically, if I don't make sure I want you two to take care of Ben and Billy," Allen states.

"You can count on us Allen," Andrea replies.

"Stand back," Rick states, "I'll do it." Rick then grabs a bone saw and prepares to sever Allen's leg. He began to cut as Allen felt tremendous pain in his leg as Rick cut through flesh and bone. Eventually Rick fully cut off Allen's leg. He suddenly had a massive panic attack as he screamed violently.

"Allen. ALLEN!" Carol shouts.

"Yeah. We need to hold him down," Chris states. Chris, Julie, Carol, Rick, and Hershel held Allen down as he experienced a massive heart attack. The massive amount of blood that he lost from the amputation didn't help his situation, as he later succumbed to his panic-induced heart attack.

"He's gone," Dale states.

"What's gonna happen now?" Julie asks.

"We have to make sure he doesn't come back," Dale answers. Dale then grabs a surgical knife and plunges it into the side of Allen's head, killing him.

Suddenly, the Greene twins ran into the room.

"What happened?" Hershel asks.

"It's, Otis," Rachel answers in a panicked state. A reanimated Otis had chased the twins into the room, but Rick shot him right in the head with his signature Colt Python.

"How did that happen? Otis wasn't bitten," Susie asks.

"Simply put, we're all infected," Andrew answers as he walks into the room, "And unless our brain is destroyed we will come back after death." This statement horrified Rick, who ran outside.

"Rick? What are you doing? Rick? RICK?!" Rick then hopped on a motorcycle and rode it back to Hershel's farm. There he saw a crowd of zombies, but among the undead included Shane Walsh.

"I never expected it to end this way," Rick states, "I'm sorry Shane." Rick then shoots the reanimated Shane in the head, killing him.
