## History

### Early Conflict

Lucas and Thomas enter a construction site in Greenfield and were unaware it was a base of the Cannibals. An unnamed member leaves a green building and shuts the gates to the site. Lucas and Thomas however have him in their sights and Lucas orders him to not move. Thomas questions who he is. The Cannibal does not respond to their questions and instead turns around. He pulls out his gun and aims but is shot by Lucas in the head. The two wonder why the Cannibal tried to kill them even though he was outnumbered. Lucas checks his body and finds a walkie talkie. However, the now dead cannibal was not alone in the site. Two Cannibals are shown to be a few floors up the construction building with one aiming a sporter and a second aiming his FN FAL. Another two Cannibals at another building a few floors apart are also aiming guns The second cannibal pulls out his own walkie and orders them to drop their guns. It is revealed that another two cannibals have also taken aim. The walkie cannibal tells Lucas that they are surrounded and should surrender. Lucas asks to talk and is told they'll talk but he will have to drop his guns.

### Meeting at the Stadium

A construction site cannibal escorts a captured Lucas and Thomas through alleys and past Minkea towards the Stadium entrance. He says it is time for them to meet the man. Meanwhile, an official Ghillie suite Cannibal is escorting in 2 unnamed captives. They all eventually are united at the main area of the Stadium where a masked man welcomes them to the stadium. He informs them he is happy to see them and knows that they most likely are wondering who he is and why they have been brought in. He introduces himself as Joshua and says they are at the stadium due to them being stupid. However, he admits it isn't their fault completely that they were captured. A notable exception he points to is when he says it is their fault partially while looking at the walkie Cannibal. Joshua asks for the processing to be hurried up as he is hungry.

### Assault on the Slaughter Outpost

During the night, while the Cannibals are on their weakest shift, the outpost is infiltrated by Lucas and Blurry. They stab 2 Cannibals on guard on wooden platforms outside the building. Following this, they enter the building and locate sleeping quarters with 2 unnamed Cannibals asleep. Atleast 2 Cannibals are stabbed and sliced multiple times with their weapons being stolen. By the time the slaughtering is done, atleast 4 Cannibals are confirmed to be dead. Thomas is seen in a cell area of the slaughter room. One unnamed Cannibal who had just slaughtered a prisoner is shot in the head. His walkie talkie is picked up and an unnamed Cannibal reveals that Joshua wants the cut up captives meat to be picked up and that they are on their way for the pickup.

### Slaughter Outpost Ambush

A group of three soldiers arrive to the outpost to collect their expected meat. However, they are unaware that all 5 cannibals stationed were killed. However, they do know that something is not right and enter with their guns raised. Atleast 2 enter a room where they are locked in by Thomas, who then detonates a bomb, killing them. A remaining Cannibal who did not enter the rigged room is surrounded and ordered to drop his gun. He complies and then is asked about his groups main base. However, he realizes what has happened at the outpost and cannot believe what they did. He is ordered to speak up but instead tells them that he won't tell them anything. Lucas threatens him and that he has ten seconds or that he will be killed. The cannibal boldly tells them to piss off. As a result, Blurry shoots him in the head.

### Skirmish at Joshua's Compound

Despite the recovery team not returning, the Cannibals are still going about their daily routine of guard and patrol, unaware of the events at the outpost nearby. The compound is infiltrated by Lucas and Thomas, who have dressed up in Ghillie suits and gas masks. However, a guarding Cannibal asks for a password. Since the two do not know it, Lucas shoots him numerous times. This alerts the Cannibals of an attack and soon they begin shooting at the intruders through cover using glass, barricades and walls. However they are unsuccessful and slowly Lucas Thomas move through the base, killing 5 unnamed cannibals who try to take them out. Joshua is sitting in his office, unaware of the impending danger. Lucas, disguised as a Cannibal knocks on the door and is called in. Joshua asks him to make it quick as he is busy. Lucas aims his gun instead which confuses Joshua. Lucas takes his mask off. In an unsurprised voice, Joshua notes Lucas being his dinner. He laughs when Lucas says he will be killed and tells him he has faced people that were way tougher. When questioned, Joshua confirms people have held guns at him but that he knew when to turn the tide. He throws a smoke grenade and picks up an M240 and begins shooting it. He asks Lucas if he really thinks he's a hero and that he has made a difference. He continues shooting and tells Lucas everything is useless. He gets closer to Lucas's position and again tells him he isn't a hero and is a murderer and puppet. He continues going on about how he is different but is cut off when Lucas reveals himself and shoots Joshua, causing him to bleed and not be able to use his gun. Lucas tells him he is done but Joshua says he isn't. He pulls out a a bomb detonator and sets it. As a result, Lucas shoots him in the head.

### Capture of Jordan

Red, Louis and a few unnamed Cannibals find out that two survivors named Jordan and AK are residing in a building near the coast. Red and his men kidnap Jordan diring the night in his bedroom and flee before AK could react. Jordan is duct taped and handcuffed before being taken away to the concert hall to be slaughtered.

### Imprisonment of Louis

AK recognizes Sharks savior as one og Reds Men that was involved in kidnapping Jordan. He rushes him and cuffs the man. After AK reveals out loud that Louis was involved in the kidnapping, Louis begins to get interrogated. Under threat and pressure, he finally begins revealing information following the group breaking glass. He reveals that he does not know where Red is, but knows about where he could be going. After Nick breaks more glass, he admits he knows where Red is going and reveals the Concert Hall. After finding out the location, Louis is locked in and is forced to drop his weapons.

### Rescue of Jordan at the Concert Hall

Nick and Ghetto infiltrate the Cannibals base, enteting it with sniper support from AK and Shark. They search the compound, finding no cannibals along the way. They eventually locate Jordan, who confirms Red is still in the compound. The trio hurry out of the hall and head towards their apartment base.

### Bombing of Nick's Base

As punishment for rescuing Jordan and infiltrating his base, Red decides to have Jordan killed. He forces Louis to help since all his other men were tied to other issues. He stands outside of Nick's Base and waits for them to take the bait. The group arrives downstairs to confront and question him. Red says he came by to check in as the group appears to have a decent place. When asked how he found them, Red reveals that they came to his base to rescue Jordan. Nick confronts Red about the fact that he has been kidnapping survivors. Red responds by reminding him the old world is gone and that he has to eat to survive. When Ghetto calls for the group to shoot him, Red warns them that killing him won't save Jordan. The groups base explodes and causes them to be disoriented. Red uses this mental confusion to escape the area.

### Red's Escape from Greenfield

At some point, Red encounters Major Gray's abandoned camp, where he reads Private David Sanders note, which states the city will be napalmed and there is a getaway vehicle at the GG gas station. He and his group go to the location and take the truck, with Red leaving a note behind to taunt Nick.

### Execution of Louis

Louis is revealed to have been left behind by Red in the city. As a result, Ghetto interrogates him, finding out about his involvement in killing Jordan. He then pushes Louis off the roof of the MinKea parking lot, killing him.

### Capture of Jonny and Sophia

Jonny and Sophia artive in Heyworth due to a flyer offering sanctuary. They are greeted instead by Zak Gareth who was accomadating at first, until his cannibalistic nature was revealed. Atleast 13 cannibals surround the two and take them prisoner.

### Showdown in Heyworth

Red welcomes Nick's Group to Heyworth and reveals he and his group set up the notes inviting survivors to the place. He berates them for not seeing through the lies and notes that they should've known better. He reveals the flyers promising safety should have been obviously seen as too good to be true. Nick cannot believe it, but Red reveals to him that he has been fooled again and mocks the group for believing in salvation. Ghetto and everyone pull their guns out following this statement. However Red warns that his sniper won't allow that. The group looks around and finds not one of Red's Men. Red than says his goodbyes and leaves with Ghetto pursuing him. The chase of Red by Ghetto was long and went through the town. Eventually, Red and Ghetto got into a fight where both were injured.

### Sky's Group v. Red

When Skys Group confront Red out on the streets of Heyworth, Red notes that they arrived at the correct time. Sky questions what he means. Red reveals he has been watching them closely. He adds on by saying they came upon his town and have been looting buildings which he doesn't approve. He informs them they will not be be leaving as easily as they came. Sky attempts to reason with Red by promising him no trouble and that they will be on their way. However Red tells them that he isn't being clear enough and says they won't be going anywhere. Sky tells him he won't be hanging around with him any longer. Red begins explaining Heyworth by saying that survivors from all across Illinois and beyond come to the town in hope of finding civilization and pre-apocalyptic life. Red pities them and always tends to asks them why they want order and normal life. He says that there is no fun in that way of life and that he has now adapted to the new way of life happily. He admits he may be crazy, but that the world is too. Sky tells him he's sick in the head and Barney mentions Nick will be coming to help. Red informs them to not worry about Nick as he will be "busy", having taken on a situation too large to handle. Sky angrily asks Red what happened to them. Red says they will soon see. Red's Men then turn on their laser scopes and begin aiming it at the trio. Red questions why they are in a rush as they have just arrived. Two Cannibals come beside Red and aim their guns. Following this, atleast 14 more Cannibals take positions on rooftops and streets and aim at the group, who begins panicking. Red tells they cannot be leaving as they are in time for dinner.

### Capture of Sky's Group

Sky and his group attempt to give the Cannibals what they looted in town. However Red tells they don't want the supplies and want something worth more. Red orders his people to take Sky's Group as prisoners. In a desperate attempt, the group attempts to flee capture, but a Cannibal shoots and injures Jess. Sky attempts to attack Red, but 2 Cannibals stop and hold him away. Red laughs and asks Sky when he will learn that this is a man eat man world. He uses a baseball to knock Sky out as the Cannibals have a firm grip on him. Then, a Cannibal knocks Barney out with a baseball bat. Following this, Skys Group are locked up in cells by the Cannibals with the exception of Jess.

### Heyworth Prisoner Escape

When Sky and Barney realize the Cannibals will kill them, they decide to escape. Their warden Luclin then leaves and moves along the hall. A Guard Cannibal is still asleep on his shift. At a barrack where the Cannibals sleep, an unnamed cannibal enters it and does not notice Sky. Inside the Barrack, 1 cannibal is asleep while 2 are talking. They do not notice Sky or Barney sneak past the wide open doorway. Eventually, the Cannibals kitchen is located where Jess is begging a cannibal to spare her. The cannibal is revealed to be a person named Bruce and is cutting up human meat while ignoring her pleas. When Sky and Barney enter and knock something off, he turns around and is shocked to see its them. Sky attacks him and the two get into a melee fight. After Bruce gets his weapon stuck, he is shot by Barney and falls, bleeding to death. The gun was not silenced and so the Cannibals realize something is wrong. The alarm is raised as a result.

The Cannibals quickly realize Skys Group as being responsible for the gunshot. Two Cannibals with guns spot them with one ordering them to stop while another aiming his gun. The Cannibals order the escapees to open up the door to Red's Room which they are holed up in. They attempt to force open it but cannot. More Cannibals begin arriving and some are ordered to lockdown the area so they can trap the escapees. They continue to try to force the door open and bring more men to force it open. The door is locked off, but the Cannibals continue their attempts. They give up opening it and begin breaking it down. However, they are unsuccessful as Skys Group escape above ground to Heyworth. Anticipating this, some Cannibals are patrolling the streets despite it being nighttime. One Cannibal who is listening to the radio while watching through a window of a building where Skys Group is secretly hiding is asked by another if he is listening to the radio again. He claims he isn't and rushes to his fellow Cannibal. Another duo of Cannibals is patrolling through the streets without their skull masks, but do not locate Skys Group who sneak out of Heyworth carefully.

### Prison Raids

Around late fall or early winter, Red leads his men on raids of other camps to capture survivors. Somewhere south of Washington DC, he finds a Prison inhabited by survivors and run by Husky. Red decides to begin Raid the community for captives. He and his men breach the fences and capture many survivors during each raid, after which they take them back to their base.

### Takeover of the Prison

After finding out Nick and his group are at the Prison, Red decides to take it over completely. He has a scout sent to eye the defences. Once he gets the information needed, he and his group storm the Prison, knocking everyone out and slaugheting most of Husky's people while locking up Nick's Group, the remainder of which is captured later on.

### Prison Escape

AK manages to get past Red's Men and rescues Nick. The two avoid being spotted by the patrols who are around the area. Husky is rescued and the trio leave the prison undetected. When a cannibal comes to check up on Nick, he finds the cell empty and calls for the alarm to be raised.

### Battle of the Prison

Nick's Group go to the Prison heavily armed in order to rescue Ghetto as they have managed to knock the electricity out, causing communication problems between the cannibals. Despite this, they hold their positions. Nick uses a scoped gun to takeout a guarding cannibal at a gate. His body is searched and has a Scar-H, a master key and some cooked human meat. Everyone is disgusted and Nick realizes what happened to Husky's people. He asks AK to hide the body. Meanwhile, an informal cannibal reports to Red about Nick breaking in and repeats it, but is cut off with Red saying he has been waiting and radioes everyone to evacuate. However, Nick and the others encounter a group of 7 Cannibals near a campfire. The Cannibals spot Nick and the others and a firefight ensues. Despite their numbers advantage, the Cannibals struggle and begin to get injured with a few being shot to death. A walker horde breaks through fencing and begins devouring some of them. Nick leaves for Ghetto while everyone else finishes the Cannibals. Red arrives at Ghettos cell with his Men outside fending off walkers and Nick's Group. He convinces Ghetto to come with him and his Army as his men are the only chance for survival. Nick later arrives and finds Ghetto gone after which Shark comes in, having finished off the Cannibals at the campfire.

### CDC Attack and Takeover

The Cannibals, with assistance from Cory, launch an attack on the CDC. They blow up the gate and get into a firefight with Grays Marines. They manage to injure many of the Marines and force them to retreat. Afterwards the CDC is secured and all inhabitants are rounded up. Red's Men patrol while others enjoy the CDC amenities. Professor Xavier is forced to work for Red who cannibalized atleast one CDC Resident. He constantly checks in on updates by his men, who reveal the CDC was searched and Nick wasn't found. Rrd orders his Men to keep guard while he and Cory continue to manipulate Ghetto for their intetests in his blood.

### Siege of the CDC

Nick and his Group launch an attack to retake the CDC, sniping two cannibals at the blown gate. They are forced to use explosives on the shutter doors due to Red overriding security protocols. This causes the Cannibals to be aware of a breach. Inside, Deli and one cannibal who are guarding the lab are shot to death by Nick. Seeing that the CDC cannot be held, Red orders his men to prepare for evacuation. He distracts Ghetto and then asks Cory if he got the blood from Ghetto. When he confirms this, Red orders him to move. Nick and Shark meanwhile are looking for Ghetto, due to a now evacuated Professor X revealing he is alive. Upstairs on the second floor, Nick and Shark get into a firefight with two cannibals. Shark telks Nick to go ahead while he takes them down.

### Retreat to the Countryside

Following their evacuation from the CDC, the Cannibals leave Atlanta. Cory is promoted to a General by Red for his dedication to the group. The Cannibals eventually locate a secured camp and turn it into their new base.

### Capture of Corl and his Family

Red and his Men capture Corl and Sub faraway from their base and have them brought over to be slaughtered. Corl's Family came to rescue them, but were outgunned and outnumbered. They surrendered and were slaughtered in the buildings after being fed, leaving only Corl and Sub as the sole survivors.

### Capture of Nick and Bobby

Red, Cory and a squad of five soldiers arrive in a dilapidated area of Atlanta and set up a trap for Nick and Bobby. When the two arrive, the Cannibals on rooftops and alleys spy on them. When Nick finds Red waiting out on a street, he decides to go around, but when he turns around, he is knocked out by Cory.

### Slaughter Camp Escape

When Corl is revealed to not be in the pen, Nick decides to take Corl and Bobby and leave the camp. Nick and Sub sneak out of their pen and cautiously head towards Bobby while avoiding the Cannibals. When they reach him, he asks for his pickaxe and is given it. He gives Nick flint and steel that was dropped by a Guard and says they need a distraction to escape. Nick realizes there are haybales all around camp and lights up one. The haybale is engulfed, causing three cannibals at the gate to leave their post, thus enabling Nick and his group to escape.

### Church Standoff & Ambush

Red is standing at the alter of the church. He laughs when Nick and Shelby spot him. He comes downs the steps and asks how they are doing. He responds to Nick's claim of him being stupid for having his man lead them to the church by reminding him of the past. He notes that they always encounter each other and that each time he manages to win against Nick's Group. He claims Nick is making everything too easy for him. When Nick aims his M4 towards him, Red orders him to put it down and asks Nick if he wants to know why. He mentions that his men will not let the two walk out alive alongside Bobby and Sub as the group has walked into a trap again and that they cannot escape. He laughs when Nick and Shelby try to locate them and notes it being a futile attempt. He convinces Nick to put his gun down as the church is a nice place. When Nick agrees, Red laughs. When asked why his guard led them to the location, Red says he was attempting to go for a dramatic standoff and as if has been working. Red lets down his sarcastic mood temporarily when Nick asks about the lab found in the basement and how he may be trying to reacreate Formula X. He informs Nick that it isn't like what he thinks it and that the operation is not single manned. Following this, Ross enters the Church, indicating Red's partnership with him. When Nick is shocked and in dismay, Red along with Ross ask Nick what is wrong in unison. He asks Nick if he is surprised that he has decided to work with Doctor Ross. When Nick reveals Ross being responsible for the Zaxen Virus and Walkers, Red sarcastically remarks on it being a experiment to taunt Nick. However, when Nick mentions they didn't expect something, both Red and Ross ask what it is. Nick then aims his gun towards Red which shocks him. As Nick boldly claims that Red is not going to get away and that he will die the death he has deserved, Red sighs and responds by telling him he never learns. He informs Nick that their conversation is over as he has people he wants to meet. When Nick aims and misunderstands Red's statement, Red notes that's what he thinks and that he and Shelby are the ones that are done. When Ross calls Nick a pawn of a chess game, Red agrees and asks Ross to show them.

### Escape of Nick & Corl

Nick and Corl escape their cells through the sewers. When they go to find Shelby, her cell is revealed to be empty which causes Corl to panick. The two nearly get caught by a Guard, but he is overpowered and is forced to lead them to freedom. The guard is named Tommy and begins leading them through the hallways.

They walk down a hall and stop when a guard station is seen. Tommy is reminded that he has promised no trouble. However, Tommy tells them there are no guards as the hallway doesn't need them. When asked, he says the rooms are reserved for Ross and are off limits to him and his fellow guards. They continue to move and Tommy is reminded to not to do anything rash. He assures them and says he doesn't want to die. He leads them to a doorway leading to stairs which go downward. He claims that it is safe and so after some discussion, Nick and Corl come down. Eventually, he leads the two to the exit. However, Nick tells him he cannot be allowed to go back as he may have helped them for personal gain. Nick assures Tommy he is not like Red and will be treated fairly. He is also told to take off his gas mask as it is extremely creepy. Tommy agrees with some of the points said and accepts he is now with Nick.

### Mutiny Against Red

Nick, Tommy and Bobby infiltrate Red's Base. Inside, Tommy splits off to convince his Group to overthrow Red due to Nick's Group working on a cure at the CDC. When Shelby is rescued through the use of if a grenade, Red decides to take the group prisoner again. He and his men stand at a hallway where Nicks Group is attempting to pass through. The Cannibals aim their AKMs but put them down eventually. Red admits he is surprised Nick managed to pull off an escape again. Nick tells him to let them pass and leave the base, but Red refuses, citing the fact that he has more guns and men. He instead orders them to surrender peacefully. When the group shows their refusal, Red orders his men to take them prisoner. The order is refused and so Red repeats it angrily. Nick informs Red that his reign is over. When Red angrily questions his men, an unmasked Tommy punches him and hands Nick an M9 as everyone believed he should finish it. Nick takes the gun and lets Red speak his last words before shooting him in the head.
