## **Synopsis**

Hours after the tragic mission at the office block, the mall survivors stand on the rooftop of the mall holding a funeral for Erin Monroe. The group quietly debate whether they should remain battling The Rastas, and discuss where Jacob Feldman could be. Felix Quarterman steps in to stop all the talking and bring up the fact that Derek Monroe seems to have gone missing as well. Edward Remar speaks up afterwards, warning the group that Badrick was bound to attack the mall at some point, and that time was coming sooner rather than later. The group begin to debate and argue with each other over whether they should leave or stay to try and defend the mall. Clyde Rollins is on the side that wants to evacuate at first, but Edward forces a shotgun into Clyde's hands and convinces him to want to stay and fight. Zachariah Barnes begins pointing around to members of the group, including Clyde, Fraser Stiller, and Dean Howards, pointing out how they're lacking in both numbers and skills. Fraser has enough of Zac being nothing but negative, and calls him out for it, as does Marcus. Zac argues back with Fraser, getting him to quiet down in shame. As everyone calms down, Quincy Atherton, Monica Reynolds, Jon Matthews, and Curtis Van Horn announce to everyone that they're not staying to fight a losing battle. Felix approaches them and puts up a compelling argument for them to stay, remarking on his past and how he would have, at one point, left just like Quincy and the criminals, but he's changed now. In the end, the criminals opt to stay and fight.

When Jacob returns to the mall, he dumps the remains of Derek onto the roof, and the group look on in disgust. Before they can judge him for too long, Jacob tells them all what Derek's reaction was to his daughter's death, and that's enough to get people back on his side. After laying the ring he was going to propose to Erin with on her covered body, he steps back to let Aldus Paxton take care of burning the body. With the whole group back together and ready to defend the mall, Robert Morgan decides to test out the fences he put up to see if they work. Morgan approaches the edge of the roof with a remote in his hand. Once he presses the button, the fences, along with every other trap Robert put up, turns on. The celebration is short lived, however, as Robert is abruptly sniped in the head, his brains splattering everywhere. Down below, Damerae Badrick and his Rastas begin pushing up towards the mall. As everyone on the roof hits the deck, Felix takes command, shouting orders for different groups to cover certain entrances. One group is sent to the Entrance Plaza, while a second heads for the back entrance in the North Plaza.

Badrick leads his men forward through the parking lot, easily avoiding the traps that had been set up.

In the Entrance Plaza, the survivors prepare for the assault. Quincy and Monica are rather excited for the fight, while others, mainly Dean, are exceedingly anxious. Soon, the chaos begins, as Badrick blows open the front entrance with a grenade launcher. As Rastas pour inside, they're met with bullets from the mall survivors.

Up on the roof, Jacob and others listen to the gunfire below. After some time, they notice a third party showing up in the parking lot: Shane Haywood, Robin Clarke, and their army. William Reynes can no longer sit on the roof with all the carnage below, and he hurries through the vents and into the mall. Shane tells Robin and their soldiers that they're only here to eliminate The Rastas, but that if the mall survivors shot at them, they had permission to shoot back. He then leads them into the Entrance Plaza, pinning Badrick and his Rastas in from two sides. Quickly, Monica shoots one of Shane's soldiers, which prompts him to give the order to eliminate *everyone* in the mall. The Rastas retreat onto one side of the plaza, while Shane's soldiers move to the other side. The mall survivors continue to fight, but all of the casualties come from the other two parties. The battle continues to spread into Al Fresca Plaza, and the mall survivors were quickly getting backed into a corner. Curtis yells out that they need to fall back to Paradise Plaza, but Monica and Quincy ignore him, and continue fighting. William finds his way into the plaza and provides cover fire while an injured Dean, who had taken a bullet to the foot, crawls into Paradise Plaza. On Shane's side, Robin is struck in the arm by Monica. Monica herself is then lit up with bullet holes by Shane and his soldiers when she remains out of cover for too long, and she collapses backwards, dead instantly. Austin Kingston, Aldus, and William fall back, while Curtis rushes over to Quincy, who's sitting behind cover, unable to comprehend the death of Monica. Curtis grabs Quincy, shaking him and telling him that he needs to snap out of it. Quincy eventually does, but not before taking a bullet to the shoulder. The two men run out into Paradise Plaza with the others. With the mall survivors gone, the soldiers and Rastas go back to battling each other. Badrick fires a grenade over at Robin and a group of men, blowing up most of them. Robin himself, however, escapes uninjured, disappearing into the smoke. Badrick and the rest of the Rastas then split up into different groups, entering the various plazas. Shane, a gunshot wound to his shoulder, takes what's left of the soldiers and heads for Paradise Plaza.

On the roof, Jacob, Felix, Edward, Clyde, and Albert Hanson begin heading down into the mall to help out in the fighting. Jacob joins the recovering group in Paradise Plaza, which now also includes Owen Gliefield and Jon, while Felix and the others go elsewhere. Most people there are quick to learn about the fate of Monica. There's little time for lamenting, though, as the survivors come under fire from Rastas, and Owen takes a bullet to his shoulder. Most of the survivors begin fleeing into the Casino Plaza, but Jacob, William, Quincy, and Curtis are cut off and pinned down in Paradise Plaza when Shane and his soldiers storm the plaza guns blazing. As the soldiers become occupied with the Rastas, Jacob hurries out of the plaza. Curtis and William tell Quincy that it's time to go, but he pays them no attention. Instead, he chooses to stay behind and fight. William and especially Curtis try getting Quincy to go with them, but it's no use. Both William and Curtis catch a bullet and are forced to retreat. Quincy puts up a last stand, mowing down soldiers and Rastas alike, even managing to hit Shane in his back, severely injuring him and his capability to walk normally. However, his final stand is cut short when he's sprayed by Shane's soldiers. Laying on the ground, he glimpses Monica's body laying in the other plaza for the final time before he's shot in the head and killed. When The Rastas are cleared out, Shane begins limping towards the Casino Plaza, his last soldiers assisting him.

In the Casino Plaza, the survivors link up with Randall Forster to formulate a plan and patch the wounded. Randall suggests they regroup with the rest of the mall survivors in the North Plaza, and the others agree. Randall, however, stays behind with Curtis to keep the pursuing soldiers from catching them. Owen, after fixing up Dean's wound, helps him to the North Plaza, and is joined by Austin, Aldus, William, and Jon.

The other half of the group is desperately holding off Rastas in the North Plaza. Marcus Downes throws a grenade, blowing a couple Rastas up, and Fraser tries helping out, but his lack of experience with guns makes him incapable of hitting anything. Teddy Powell is among them as well, but is struggling to fight with only one hand. Soon, backup arrives from the Casino Plaza to assist them. With their help, the Rastas are easily kept at bay. During the fighting, Owen is hit in the gut by a bullet, and is put out of the battle. William hurries over, and in the midst of the fighting, pulls the bullet out and cauterizes the wound. As hundreds of zombies begin swarming into the plaza through the back entrance, The Rastas, what's left of them, retreat. All the mall survivors begin heading out of the plaza and up to the roof. Aldus helps William carry Owen. In the end, everybody makes it to the roof alive, everyone but Austin, who is surrounded by zombies and disappears into the horde, trying to fight his way through.

In the middle of Leisure Park, Jacob is chasing after Jackson Foxx. The chase continues into the food court, where Jacob runs straight into a trap. Badrick stands with a squad of Rastas, smoking a cigar and claiming that the mall has fallen. Badrick gets ready to shoot Jacob down when suddenly Edward comes limping in, blasting a Rasta with his shotgun. Felix, Albert, and Clyde soon enter behind him, shooting at The Rastas. Badrick orders an immediate retreat. While he and most Rastas make it out, Jackson does not. Jacob injures Jackson, knocking him to the ground where he drops his gun. Crawling, Jackson shows no remorse for killing Erin, and instead brags about killing her. Jacob stands over him and puts a bullet in his head without flinching. When Jackson is dealt with, Jacob and the others continue on through the mall.

Shane and the rest of his soldiers burst into the Casino Plaza, where they have a brief firefight with Randall and Curtis. The fight doesn't last long, as Curtis throws a molotov, providing him and Randall cover as they escape elsewhere.

On the roof, the survivors have an emergency discussion about the ongoing situation. Jim informs them all about a cabin he has in a nearby forest where they could take the wounded for at least until the fighting is up. Everyone agrees that's the best plan. Soon, Jacob and the others who were in the food court arrive on the roof, happy to see that most people had made it. As Felix questions where they should go next, Badrick and the remainder of The Rastas storm the roof, and bullets fly everywhere. Seeing Badrick, Edward charges out of cover, but is immediately shot in the chest, sending him slipping and falling off the roof into a dumpster below. Clyde hurries down a ladder to Edward's aid. Seeing the ladder, Felix orders everybody to start climbing down one by one, and everyone does so. Felix covers them all himself until it's just himself and William on the roof. Before William climbs down, he tells Felix that *she* would be proud of him. Felix nods and goes back to providing cover fire. Sitting behind cover, he yells taunts at Badrick until eventually popping out of cover and shooting him in the chest. Badrick collapses as Felix is shot up by Rastas, killing the man. With the rest of the mall survivors already escaping into the woods, Badrick simply tells his Rastas to get him out of here.

Inside the mall, Shane limps in pain through the Casino Plaza. All of his soldiers had either been killed or fled from the mall, and it was only him left. As he looks around, Shane sees Benjamin Taylor standing nearby. He approaches Taylor and falls to his knees in front of him, asking for help. When it's apparent Benjamin is not here to help, Shane begs to be put out of his misery. Benjamin looks up at an incoming horde and reminds Shane about how he betrayed him. He takes out his pistol, and it seems as if he may kill Shane, but he instead tosses the gun into the horde before turning away. Shane tries getting away, but his injuries are too much. The horde encloses in on and devours him as Benjamin walks away.

In the parking lot, Clyde shoots a couple of zombies, saving Edward from becoming zombie food. He pulls Edward out of the dumpster and the two of them walk off together, Edward thanking him sincerely.

Meanwhile, the rest of the mall survivors who made it out trudge through a forest in the direction of Jim's cabin. Jon hopes that Curtis, the only one left from his criminal crew, is still alive with Randall, as the two of them hadn't made it to the roof. Marcus assures him that they are. The group take one last look at the mall and the smoke rising from it before continuing on through the trees, snow beginning to fall.
