The Sacrifice Part 3

Part 3 was released on September 28.

Plot
Part 3 focuses on Francis's past.

This section begins with two Soldiers patrolling an outer section of Millhaven, complaining about Lieutenant Mora trying to save his men. Not soon after they're talking, they hear the Alarm being raised and almost instantly, one of the Soldiers, Nate is pounced by a Hunter. As Jim, the other Soldier raises his gun to shoot the Hunter off, he gets pulled away by a Smoker.

After this, Bill, Zoey, and their companion are seen approaching the Armory. As they reach it, the Doctor discovers the Keypad is sticky, but not with Boomer Bile. When they open it, inside are Louis, Francis, Jeff, and Annie. Zoey enthusiastically takes Louis' Jar off him to have some while Francis makes a joke on Bill's age again, who surprisingly says that he missed Francis' joking. But he quickly shuts down his next joke before letting it get out of hand. Louis then exclaims that he and Annie were discussing a way out, to which Bill enquires about. She then talks about a Troop Transport on the east side, which is unfortunately the opposite end of the Millhaven base. Jeff insists it's suicide, but Bill ensures him that after coming all the way from Philadelphia, they are more than up for the task. Zoey then asks Francis about his Joke which was cut off by Bill and asks how he can still keep cracking jokes despite the Apocalypse. Francis states the Apocalypse was the best thing to happen to him as a Flashback occurs.

2 Days after the first Infection, Francis is held up by a Police Officer for stealing a TV, which Francis tries to explain by saying he's a Cop. Shortly after, he is in a Bar and somewhat cheerfully exclaims that's why he's going to Prison. His friend, Sandra (Whom he calls Becky) states she'll miss him, but Francis tries to lighten the mood by saying she can visit him during Conjugal visits, until someone else, presumably from the same gang as Francis states you don't get Conjugal visits in Pennsylvania, much to Francis' distaste. He then asks them to remind him to impersonate a Cop in another state such as Ohio, before Sandra whisks him away. As the two make out, however, Sandra vomits, much to Francis' slight disgust, barely missing his vest. Sandra tells him to wait, which he does so. Then she becomes fully Infected and bites the Biker. Francis then pushes her away and states she will be banned from conjugal visits when he goes to Ohio Prison (Though maybe a one-off visit), still unknowing of her Infected condition. She then leaps at Francis, startling him until she is shot by someone else, presumably in the same Gang as Francis as he is able to identify the shooter as Duke. He asks why he shot her, only for Duke to state that the government just wants them to believe it's just a flu. He talks about a conspiracy involving Satellites, Mobile Phones, etc. leading up to a Zombie Apocalypse which Francis fell for. Then Francis happily shouts that Zombies can't imprison people. He then tells Duke and another Gang Member, Danny to grab a Jukebox and follow him to the roof. When asked about it, he simply tells them that "y'can't get a party goin' without a little music." One of the Members estimates roughly a thousand of Common Infected beings in the Streets below them. At which point, Francis picks up a gun and starts decreasing that number, counting them off audibly as he fires.

The Flashback ends and Lieutenant Mora and four Soldiers are seen fending off Infected. One of the Soldiers gets a call about Major Everly requesting everyone to the East Side of the base to make a stand. The Lieutenant tells him to ignore the call before his Mask is ripped off by a Common Infected. he then instructs the Soldiers to pull him up, which they refuse due to the fact that he's lost his Mask, saying that he has been compromised. The Lieutenant asks for a spare in place. Before stating that if he turns, they can shoot him. This doesn't interest the Sergeant or the other Soldiers and they walk off, leaving the Lieutenant to deal with the ever-growing swarm of Infected.

The Comic then changes to show the Team of Bill, Louis, Francis, Zoey, the Doctor, Jeff, and Annie. Bill gives orders that they are going to procure a Train heading to the South. Zoey asks why South, and Bill just asks her to trust him. Then she questions his motives to leave the "New Meat" behind, saying he isn't going to, causing Bill to simply say "watch me". This provokes Zoey to ask what about her and Francis and Louis, to which Bill responds that they always come back for their own. The Doctor then comments on the lack of Zombies being good, which Louis shuts down by saying that if there's no Zombies around, there's something much worse around. Then they spot the badly-injured Lieutenant Mora aiming a gun at them. Louis attempts to negotiate with him, but his methods are questioned by Zoey until Francis steps in, saying he is a Cop and that it is all Louis' fault. When asked which of them is Louis, he whispers to the group to run except Louis, before Bill steps in and punches the Lieutenant, knocking him to the ground. Bill then orders them to move fast. As Mora aims his gun steadily at the retreating group, his head is suddenly ripped off by a Tank. The Doctor spots a Chopper taking off, advising them to flag it down. But Zoey orders them to keep moving. No sooner is this said then the Tank punts a car from behind, which hits the Chopper head on. The Chopper explodes and part of the debris hits a nearby Jeep, puncturing the Gas Tank. A panicking Annie asks what to do, in which Zoey orders her to keep running and don't let it close the distance between them. The Tank then rips part of the Road out, which Annie comments on and Zoey assures her they'll do that. Louis then gets in the Jeep and drives it towards the Tank. Louis tells himself to get ready to jump before realizing he would do so out of a moving vehicle. Francis then asks Bill why Louis is being stupid, to which Bill suddenly realizes that he's leaking Gas. Louis drives the Jeep square into the Tank's Gut and Bill then flicks his Cigarette onto the Gas trail. Louis quickly hurries back to the group in time to see the Jeep blow up the Tank. Then Louis notices train track, telling Francis that he was right in that they would make it. Annie then spots the holdout spot and tells the others that she and Jeff will join up, despite Zoey's offer for them to accompany the Survivors. Annie says they have Heavy Artillery and will hold out a choke point there before heading to Outpost Echo. Zoey makes one last ditch attempt to convince Annie that they never stop coming. Annie then tells her that "with the Gasmasks, they might" before Zoey cuts her off, saying she understands. Zoey wishes them luck, and Annie and Jeff officially detach themselves from the group and head towards the holdout spot. Bill asks Louis if he still has some Pipes left, which Louis acknowledges. Bill instructs him to throw all of them to assist the Soldiers still alive at the holdout point. They then board the Train and Francis says he can hotwire it, Bill shoves Francis out of the way and presses a large green button on the dashboard. However, the holdout point starts buckling and the Soldiers becoming overwhelmed, leaving just the West wall still in contact. The Doctor, meanwhile, is too slow to get on the Train. Zoey asks Bill to slow down a minute, but Bill refuses to listen. Eventually, while running alongside the Train, the Doctor is pounced by a Hunter and grabbed by a Smoker. Zoey repeatedly orders Bill to stop the Train, which Bill rejects saying they only look after their own. Zoey asks Bill to stop the Train before nearly screaming at him to stop the Train. Part 3 is concluded with a final shot of the Train speeding off.
