The Walking Dead: The Will To Survive Fan Fic

Okay, I know a lot of Fan Fic's have been popping up but this has been in development for quite sometime, I would like to thank my good friend TeamKennyAlways for telling me to post this now, it's it's takes place in the city of Savannah during the beginning of the apocalypses, it also has several somewhat well known zombie survivors from a few games, along with one game that is not zombie related, without wasting more of your time here is the Walking Dead: Will to Survive chapter one

Bioshock Infinite WD proudly presents

In association with TeamKennyAlways, Cany0udance and many more

Based off the beloved Telltale game

The Walking Dead: The Will To Survive

Act 1, Low Sky at Dawn
Chapter one
Darkening Clouds
The sun came over the many building in the south, glistering over the glass like water. It was summer in

Georgia; the heat was almost unbearable in Savannah. River Street was crowded like you would not

believe. I was here with my best friend from Colorado, he was on vacation and his family trusted me

with him, something I was not sure they should have done. I always call him Dthly Chill; it was his

gamer tag on Xbox360 and it’s a lot cooler than his real name anyway. Anyway, I was in the crowd

some distance from the hotel, I just could not stay there forever, you can only talk to your friends for

so long before you go mad. It was amazing; with the boats moving, birds flying and landing on the river,

and the waves slowly rolling around, I knew this is why I came. Then, the downward spiral began just

like that, I do not remember how it happens but I do vaguely remember hearing a gunshot before getting

trampled by all those people on River Street. I woke up sometime later, I did not know what time it

was, four, five, seven o clock, all I know was it was late and no one was around. Everything looked

strangely destroyed; there was a trolley on its side in rubble. The birds were gone and there was blood

only a few feet away. I did not know what to think so I went down the road and saw a dead body with

someone nearby. I yelled for them but did not come close, I got closer and closer until it turned around.

It was dead but it was moving, even eating what was left of the body. It got up and walked toward

me, I did nothing as I just stared back in horror. It grabbed me and pulled me down so I kicked it and

started to crawl away but it kept coming. I kept crawling until I backed up into a car or something. I

saw to my left another dead man, there were no weapons on the body but there was a glass shard

hanging from the car window. I grabbed it, by hand started to bleed but I had to ignore the pain as the

creature approached with its mouth opened like a shark. With all my strength I jammed the glass shard

into the head of my enemy, it dropped dead, I did not dare try to pick it up. I did not know what it

was, it looked like a zombie from all those voodoo stories one of my friends would talk about.. I did not

know what to think, should I be terrified, should I be scared that the dead are coming out of the

ground. I then remembered Chill and the rest of my friends, still at the hotel; it’s has been hours, I got

to go look for them. I turned around just to see another ‘zombie’, more and more started to follow him

and soon enough they was a wall of rotting flesh walking toward me. I ran down an alloy way being

chased all the while. I got to the end the alloy just to see more zombies coming down the only way

out. I was trapped, I tried to jump onto the balcony just feet above my head, but it was too heavy to

pull myself up. I looked down to see my only salvation, a manhole cover partially open. I grabbed the

side and pulled and pulled, looking at the wall of dead coming closer and closer. I came open just as

they were in arm reach of me. I jumped down, ignoring the ladder next to me; a zombie fell down the

hole and died, splattering blood all over my shirt. The rest of this “mini hoard” of zombies did not come

down; they just looked down with a dead stare and slowly walked away.

    Just a tip, you should try diving the text into smaller paragraphs or passages or whatever as that would be way easier to read than a massive wall of text. Curious to see what happens next.:)
  • edited August 2013
    Good friend TeamKennyAlways, thanks man :) now I feel special. Like MerakMissile2 said you should separate them into smaller paragraphs, that's what advice was given to me when writing mine. Good job man, can't wait to read more :)
  • edited August 2013
    Understood, as it gets much longer at a point, I never was really that great at paragraphs.
  • edited August 2013
    cool.

    like it.

    Okay, so I am double space the next chapter just so you know okay, this is also my first try at a fan fic just so you know.

    Prelude to hell

    At this point, you might be thinking why I should even care about this story and there is

    no backstory. Well there is a story, and I will tell it. My name is Tyler, I am a high

    school student from Ohio who gets above average grades in everything but history, I am

    smart but an Einstein I am not. So here is how it all started, I was in my hotel room just

    watching the news. The major stories were, prison break was happening in a nearby

    county, four prisoners had gotten away, and a mechanical administrator at the air force

    base near Macon had stuck her commanding officer with a wrench for something, I did

    not care. That was all the new said and that’s all I cared about. I turned it off just as it

    started talking about riots going on across the state. I was not the only person here in

    the hotel, which was a five star hotel by the way. Chill was here obviously, he was

    wearing a nice fedora he bought the day before with a leather jacket he has had for

    some time. My school class had come to Savannah but it really was not that big of a

    class, and by not big I mean three people. One of the class mates I have is a good

    friend named Noah, he is 13, but he is fast as all hell, he always wins races. He is fun to

    be around but he does want to dominate everything. There is only one other person

    that did come to the city, another friend from my class. Her name is Melina; she is a

    nice person good to be around but does not like to talk to most people, somewhat shy I

    guess. Before you even start yes she is my friend, but not my girlfriend, you have no

    idea how many times I get called out on that. My teacher was here for only a short

    time, he did not stay because he had trust in us, most likely not a good idea. So I

    wanted to go and see River Street, so I put on a long green shirt, gray shorts, and some

    sandals, you know the rest. The room number was 212 and it was in the middle of the

    long hallway. I walked down the blue carpet and down the stairs to see the river, I got

    more then I wanted.

    I would like to add that every time I copy and paste it, it just goes back to single space, so I had to do in manually.
  • edited August 2013
    Noah!

    Well.. i wasn't going to use him in my fic. So i don't see why not.
  • edited August 2013
    So this happens before ch.1, huh? And an admin at the Air Force. Reference to Lilly? .:p

    Also, it would be best to organize the story in paragraph form, but double-space is still way better than wall of text.:)
  • edited August 2013
    Yes it's a preview, it's the only time I do that, and yes there will be small references to the main game, toward the end it will tie into the man games episode 4 and 5, okay I will keep it double space.
  • edited August 2013
    is there any reason you put Noah in this?
  • edited August 2013
    I'm in it :D well a character version of me. Let's see if people can guess who I am. I'm not in it now but later on.
  • edited August 2013
    Well it's a common first name, and I really do have a friend name Noah, so it's a really funny coincidence, I promise, that if I ever use characters created by other forum members, I will inform them in advance, and I have come to the conclusion that three or four chapters will be uploaded everyday.
  • edited August 2013
    ah.

    Still, Funny Coincedence is Funny.

    Same age and everything.
  • edited August 2013
    Same age, wow that is really funny, never knew that, for the record the first couple chapters are short, really soon they will get really long, and my real name is Albert not Tyler okay.
  • edited August 2013
    well, yeah.

    Pretty much the only difference is my Noah is not a good runner.
  • edited August 2013
    Kinda like how there's two Lillys with the same surname and similar appearance, huh?:p
  • edited August 2013
    That is loltastic, I never planed it to be like that, very funny.

    now we just need a red herring.

    Under the Angel of Death

    As I walked in the empty sewer system I thought to myself, what has the world come to, zombies all

    around eating people, this must be a dream. The sound of gunfire above my head made me realize this

    was not a dream. There was very little light in the tunnel, only cones of light would shine from tiny

    cracks above. The sounds of rats moving around made it more tense; at any moment something could

    grab me and kill me as quickly as I breathe . I always had been afraid of the dark, even when I was

    young the darkness always scared me. Every so often I would see shadows along the walls, following

    me like candles, I did not know if they were real or just my fears getting to me, I just kept walking

    toward what was ahead. The tunnel was still going on and on, I was nowhere near the end, the sounds

    of footsteps were getting louder and louder. I was reaching the breaking point, I swore I saw the

    cracks get bigger, my own footsteps were sounding like earthquakes, and I could see something at the

    corner of my eye and it was not a zombie. A ladder came out of the darkness; I grabbed it and climbed

    as fast as a man can climb. The man hole opened into another world, a very different from what I had

    seen a few hours ago.
  • edited August 2013
    Nice read so far. It's funny how every medium of TWD has the main character conveniently miss out on the initial outbreak, and then have him suddenly come across the aftermath.:D Coma, car crash, sewer spelunking...
  • edited August 2013
    it would be interesting to see someone like ehkay in this
  • edited August 2013
    This doesn't include those in the fan fic's though.
  • edited August 2013
    Well it seems to be something of a tradition in the Walking Dead, and the first chapters were written a couple months ago, I stopped for sometime and picked it up again, maybe Ehkay will be there, maybe, but for now I guess I will post the final chapter for the day, where we learn which two of the other game character are.
  • edited August 2013
    Rick Grimes- Coma
    Lee Everett- Car Crash.
    Tyler Something-Or-Other- Unconscious after being trampled (from this thing)
    Nate-(real Monsters) The Exeption
    Liam Dentlee (Great Follies)- Just being a Lazy Teenager.

    Did i Miss any instances of main characters missing it out. Fan fic's and Canons alike.
  • edited August 2013
    Nope, they all miss the beginning, just some more then others, Lee was two days I think, Rick maybe a month, and here a few hours.
  • edited August 2013
    I Think Lee's story started about a few hours after my one.
  • edited August 2013
    I guess you are right.

    Okay, I am posting the forth chapter now, if you want one more chapter today just ask.

    The Smell of Burning Bread
    I climbed out of frying pan and into the fire; I turn around to see the city burning.

    Gunfire was in the distance, the screams of soon to be dead people were everywhere

    and a few buildings were on fire. I believe the market was burning, as I could smell the

    unmistakable smell of bread burning. As I watched this home away from home die, I

    knew no one was leaving this city, alive or not. I starred at it for some time, I lost track

    of how long I watch the death of a once amazing city I had always wanted to see. The

    hotel was not too far away from where I stood. As I turned around a zombie grabbed me

    and started to pull me down onto the ground. I was near an alleyway so I tried to push

    the zombie into the wall, it would not move. I was too weak and it was way too strong

    to be moved, I kept trying but I knew it was for nothing. I excepted my fate, knowing I

    would become just mindless husk for eternity, as the zombies face was about to bite into

    my neck, a loud shot rang out. My sight went red, I could see nothing and I fell to the

    ground and laid still. I started hearing voices, not whispers but real words. I could see

    vaguely to shadows over me, as I wept the blood from my eyes I could see them. They

    were not military or friends of mine, or anything I had seen before. One of them was a

    man, 38 or so, with a large shotgun resting over his left shoulder, still smoking. He was

    wearing a black shirt with a gray vest, a red double crossed tie, and some very dark

    pants. His right hand had a large hand warp with some blood on it. On his right hip was

    a very large revolver with the hammer pulled back. He had very dark hair and green

    eyes, and he was looking at me with a slight smirk. The other one was woman who could

    not be older than 20 with a very long blue skirt, with a small blue petty coat. She had

    very dark brown hair that was very short, almost like it had been cut. She was not

    wearing any make-up at all, which is really strange. Her eyes were as blue as the sky

    and she had a brooch hanging from her neck with a diving bird on it. They said nothing

    as I got back up, I thanked them for saving my life, and they still said nothing back. The

    man said to me “You can walk can’t you, you are lucky I was here to save your life.” I

    told him in a smart ass voice “I did not need the help, I was fine.” He said back “You’re

    not the only person today who refused my help, I am sure they are dead now.” I was

    going to say something back when the girl asked me “Where were you coming from when

    this happened, is your family here in Savannah?.” “No, my friends are in the Hilton hotel

    down the road over there.” The man said back “well it’s just good we found you when

    we did, I have just seen to many people die today and over the years to be happy.” I

    ask what their names are, as I never trusted someone that I don’t even know what to

    call. In a proud voice the man said “My name is Booker DeWitt, the woman beside me is

    Elizabeth, and we are the only thing keeping you from being six feet under, from now on

    you better be a bit quicker on the draw.” I said fair enough, we all started walking

    toward the hotel. Booker told me to get a move on as the day won’t stay burning for

    long, and then like that we at the hotel doorstep, not knowing if anyone was even alive

    cool, here are the guys from :inser:username:here:

    BTW. did you notice that i've finished the first episode of my fic?

    Sorry if this seems like advertising, i'm just curious.
  • edited August 2013
    It's okay, advertising is okay, go on right ahead.
  • edited August 2013
    well. I was basically just saying that i've finsihed the first episode of..6,7 maybe? of my fan fic.

    Something funny about How Liam missed the intial outbreak phases is he just overslept.
  • edited August 2013
    Yep, everyone always seems to miss it, it most zombie fiction it's also the same. So yes two major characters in this Fan Fic are Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth from Irrational Games Bioshock Infinite, and yes I wrote it in a way that somewhat makes sense to both Bioshock and Walking Dead's world.
  • edited August 2013
    I know, I guess Bioshock goes well with Walking Dead, and it's only really the two characters.

    Hotel Impossible

    As I walked up to the door, the place seem to look the same as it had hours ago, but a few things were

    different, the windows were boarded with wood, and the front door was both locked and barricaded. I

    was just started to realize how odd the two survivors were, they looked like they were from a different

    time era. The shotgun was lever action, which is strange because they don’t make many of those. The

    revolver looked like something from the 1890s, and the outfits on both of them were early 1900s style.

    I was not complaining, but it just felt odd like I was reading yet another history book. The lock looked

    like it was made of hard steel, too strong for a bullet, but they did not seem fazed. I just started

    leaning on the wall, looking at my watch hoping something would happen. I saw Booker give a node to

    the girl, and just like that she got on her knee and put a pin into the lock. Just as fast as I had seen

    the pin go into the lock, it was out and lock fell to the ground. I looked with surprise and shock and

    said “how the hell did you do that?” All she said was “I have a lot of spare time.” I just nodded and

    said yay whatever, the barricade was just a bookcase pushed against the door, it got moved without

    much effort. The lobby was dark, the lights were out and there were dead body’s everywhere. The

    glass windows were all broken, the clean tile was red from the blood, but the lemonade and cookies

    were still on their stand in the corner. The air was filled the smell of lead and decomposing dead, I had

    no weapons to use and it was hard to tell if they had been shot in the head. The lobby was mostly a

    square with two flights of stairs at both ends, a large chandelier hung above the desks, tilted like it also

    had been shot. I turned to my saviors and whispered, “Hay, do you have anything that is silenced.”

    Booker told me that nothing he carried was quiet, but that we did not have to worry. We went up the

    stairs without incident, after the stairs, there was a door to the main flight of stairs, near a soda

    machine. We walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, I was about to collapse from the walking, I was not

    in the best of shape let me tell you. I told them that the room was 212, and that it was in the middle of

    corridor. We were at the door to the room and there was no sound inside, I put my hand in my pocket

    to get the key card but there was nothing there, I must have lost in on River Street. I started walking

    away when Booker kicked the door down and pulled out his shotgun.

    Okay then

    Reunited

    I ran back to see all my friends on the ground with their hands up, Chill was there and

    the moment he saw me he yelled out “Holy shit, Tyler where have you been and why is

    this asshole trying to kill me?” I told in a slightly mad voice “He is not trying to shoot

    you, he is trying to save you. “ Ok then, next time can you not kick the door down and

    almost crush me in the middle of a poker game, let me finish this hand. I got three of a

    kind, beat that Noah. By the way, were the fuck have you been, you told me an hour

    and it’ past 6.” “Sorry Kyle but I have a Full House.” “Goddammit, you had a card in

    your sleeve literally didn’t you.” “Maybe, maybe not, but I want won anyway.” I told

    Chill calmly “Yes I am late, but did the calendar say ‘July 24 the world will and end and

    zombies will kill us’ because if it did then this is your fault for not telling me.” I then

    asked why you were even here, he tells me “I said we should stay here and wait for

    rescue, only that plan did not count on mister 1893 kicking the door down.” “Where is

    Melina, is she still here?” “Yes she is still here, they even made me the leader of this

    group; I knew playing all those hours of Battlefield 3 would pay off.” As soon as he said

    Melina came out the shadows, she was good if not a little shaken. Chill said “So who

    are these people and do they have a plan on how to survive.” “My name is Booker

    DeWitt, the girls name is Elizabeth, and yes we have a plan if you follow three rules.

    One, I am the leader not you which means you go where I go and nowhere else. Two, if

    you see anything if it be supplies or one of those creatures just tell Elizabeth, don’t try

    to handle it like it’s a video game. Three, do not complain at all, I am not a part of your

    family and I will never be, think of me as a military officer or a drill sergeant and nothing

    else, is that clear?” Chill said back “yes, but what is her role, she has not even said a

    word, she mute or something, the only use I see is to look pretty and do nothi- he did

    not finish that sentence, Elizabeth slapped him across the face telling him “I am a nice

    person, but no one calls me useless or a whore, I doubt you know what geography even

    is or how to the stop the flow of blood, so think twice before you say something so

    dumb.” “Ok then, message understood welcome to the team miss.” Booker said “any

    last questions before we leave.” Noah came up and said “Does the base we are going to

    have power or something so I can play some Call of Duty.” “Not in this world or any

    other will we be play video games and no we have a zero amount of power.” I looked

    down on the floor to find a flashlight, I grabbed it and turned it on, it was dim like the

    batteries were dying but it would be enough to get me to are destination. We started to

    walk down the stairs in the darkness when something grabbed Booker. It was a zombie

    and it looked like he was done for, when at that moment he punched the zombie in the

    face, but it did not sound like a punch at all. There was a loud motor sound and blood

    was going everywhere, when I put the flashlight on him he had a spinning hook the size

    of a hand on his arm. Chill freaked out and yell “Shit man, that thing looks the fucking

    chainsaw from Gears of War” Noah asks were in the world did you get that monster of a

    weapon. He politely said “sometimes you can’t believe the things you find people use.”

    The rest of the hotel had nothing jump out at us so we walked for some time to a parking

    garage were the camp was.

  • edited August 2013
    You know this chapter is so small I am going to post ONE LAST chapter, because I am a nice guy, after this it's going to be 2 or 3 per day. The

    Crew

    The day was winding down, and I was about to meet the rest of the crew, and if you

    though the leader was odd just you wait. I came into the garage and I saw some tents

    with a tire in the center with gasoline canisters nearby. The group came out of the

    tents and there were four of them, there was one of them in 1920s clothing with an Irish

    hat. The other three were military; one was a US marine with the desert uniform in his

    mid-40s. One of them had a beret, he had a large sack on his back with small lettering

    on the front, and he looked Russian, I had no idea what age he was. Finally there was

    an old man in his 60s, with a blue uniform and a sword on his hip, his uniform was

    Japanese. This was the crew and they were all interesting to no end. Booker called out

    and they all got in line, he yelled out “These are the members of the group, the one with

    1920s clothing is Albert Arlington, you might remember him from the news as the recent

    escaping prisoners. The American soldier is Tank Dempsey American war hero. The

    Russian is Nikolai Belinski, a soldier that will do anything for vodka, pretty much average

    Russian in a nutshell. Last but not least we have General Takeo Masaki, Japanese officer

    and strategist that thinks before he fights. Welcome to the family you can warm up by

    the fire or just go to sleep it’s your choice.”
