Abraham Lincoln (Vs. Zombies)

"Lord, I beseech you. Grant me wisdom, to see the way clear. Let me help these Walking Dead, find their final resting place. Help me to end their torture and misery. To show them the way to Your Eternal forgiveness. Amen."

- Abraham Lincoln "Emancipate this!"

- Abraham Lincoln In 1818, Abraham Lincoln was 9 years old when his hometown is invaded by some strange creatures, creatures that could only be killed with a shot to the head, or by decapitation. Many are killed, including Lincoln's mother and father.

By 1863, Lincoln is now the President of the United States of America, in the midst of the Civil War, some time after the Battle of Gettysburg, when he finds out that a Top Secret mission has seriously failed. He then learns that the soul survivor is seriously sick with some sort of affliction. After observing the survivor, and hearing his story, and then "dealing" with him, with a folding half-scythe thing, Lincoln leads twelve men of the newly formed Secret Service into Confederate Territory, specifically, to Fort Pulaski, to figure out what happened, only to find something far worse than Confederates, zombies, as Agent Brown, a former slave who had learned about the word, and its origins, from his mother, begins to call the creatures.

Lincoln losses two men in the attempt to take the fort, one was bit by the creatures, whom Lincoln himself shot to prevent from turning, much to the astonishment of the other agents, and the other to Confederate fire when the agent attempted to shut the fort's doors to keep the creatures from getting in. A third is shot in the shoulder, but survives. The doors are closed, and the three Confederates guarding the fort, including an injured one-armed, and severely coughing, General Stonewall Jackson, and Corporal Pat Garrett, are captured and taken prisoner. Lincoln learns of an infected Confederate soldier that had been locked up, and takes a look, along with his men and the Confederates. Lincoln tells what he knows about the creatures, explaining that they weren't human, and that only by shooting them in the head, or by decapitating them, or some such thing, could the creatures be killed.

He then locks the Confederates up, leaves some men to stand guard, and sets off into town with the rest, to try and locate a working telegraph, to try and get help from anyone. One agent is killed when he, and one John Wilkinson find out that the telegraph was no good, with the office filled with the creatures, and another gets accidentally shot in the leg by a woman, who was an old flame of the President, Mary Owens, who was sheltering her daughter, an employee of hers, and a young Theodore Roosevelt, who had been separated from his family during the turmoil. After creating a diversion, Lincoln manages to get them to the fort, although Mary's employee is killed when she is bitten by one of the creatures.

Lincoln then talks to the Confederates, to try and get a line on additional weapons to use in the fort's defense, as well as to make an attack on the infected. Jackson, believing the infected to merely be sick, refuses to do so, but Pat Garrett decides to help Lincoln, and leads him and a number of the others to a farm filled with implements that could be used to kill the creatures. On the way back, the group is attacked, and thankfully saved when the other agents, fearing trouble, arrive in time to save them, but Mary is infected. Reluctant to kill his old girlfriend, Lincoln has her placed in a bedroom, to try and make her last hours comfortable.

In the morning, Lincoln and a number of his remaining able-bodied men, as well as Mary's daughter, Pat, and Theodore, set out to clear the town of the infected, although John Wilkinson, who refused to take part in the operation, feeling it to be a slaughter, stays behind to watch over Mary. While Abraham, and most of the others, are out, Wilkinson looks at an unconscious Mary, and scoffs at her, talking about how scandalous if would be if everyone in Washington knew that the President had once been in love with a whore. He then visits the infected Confederate, and identifies himself as an agent for the Confederacy, John Wilkes Booth, and tries to release the infected man, only to be forced to kill the dead Confederate when the creature attacks him.

Meanwhile, in town, things don't go so well. While a large number of zombies are killed, five agents are also killed, three due to being surprised/mobbed by zombies, one by suicide (to keep from dying like his partner when he was injured/surrounded), and one was ran over by a train (although he could have stepped to the side, he tried to outrun it instead and how in the hell the train showed up, and was not noticed by the others, is not mentioned or brought up, nor does the train stop, or try to stop), and thus Lincoln is forced to retreat back to the base with the survivors.

Wilkinson decides to kill Lincoln, but prevents himself from doing so when he catches the President praying at the base chapel, as be believed that killing the man during prayer would send the man's soul into Heaven, when he wished it to go to Hell. Garrett talks to Jackson, and manages to convince the Confederate General, and the other soldier, that Lincoln is right, and that his cause is just. Jackson shows Lincoln a cache of gunpowder, and a plan is formed - lure the zombies in the base, get as many as possible into the room, light a fuse, and watch it blow up, destroying both the zombies, and the base.

Jackson, although slightly hindered by a set of bad lungs, manages to call the undead into the fort, using his bugle. The undead come into the fort, and are tricked into the powder room, as the remaining survivors, except for Lincoln, Jackson, and Brown, escape from the fort through a secret passage. However, the fuse goes out. Lincoln is about to go to relight it, when Jackson, who is dying from previously sustained injuries, insists that he do the deed, stating that most of the infected Confederates had served under him, and that it would be more fitting for him to do it. Taking a torch, the General manages to light the fuse, dying in the process. Lincoln and Brown escape, using a Zip Line - like contraption they had made, and the zombies are all killed.

18 months later, Lincoln visits a zombified Mary, whom Lincoln had left in the care of a trustworthy doctor, to try and find a cure for her condition, and talks to her, mentioning that John Wilkinson was really John Wilkes Booth, and that the man was plotting his kidnapping, or assassination. When he tries to wash her hands, Mary bites Lincoln, thus infecting him. After killing her with a derringer, Lincoln writes a letter, and gives it to the doctor, giving him instructions to send it to Wilkinson.

The next day, an ailing Lincoln gets on a carriage, and goes to Ford's Theater, where, presumably, John Wilkes Booth kills him, mainly for Booth's own reasons, and, as Lincoln hoped, to prevent another outbreak from happening.
