Brenda, Thomas and I got separated from the group and had to find our way back to them. This entailed walking through dark tunnels and cities full of cranks. Brenda got bitten on the ankle so we quickened our pace. We had entered a party after being given an unknown liquid. I had seen Gally, alive and walking but he was a ..crank, so technically not fully alive. I broke to my knees in tears before blacking out.
Next thing I knew we were in a room where Jorge was interrogating Marcus. My eyes slowly focused just to be met by Minho's face.
"Finally, you lazy shank. I know you slept for long but not this long." He chuckled as I sat up with my back against a stone wall.
"Shut up, Min Min." I rolled my eyes jokingly.
I zoned out for a few minutes while everyone else talked. I was bored of using my voice box.
"Where is the right arm, Marcus?" Jorge snarled.
"Wait, this is Marcus?" Thomas asked.
The beaten man, Marcus, chuckled.
"That kid catches on quick. Are you the brains of the operation?"
I quickly stood up causing everyone's eyes to snap to me. I gently pushed Jorge out of the way before grabbing the back of Marcus' chair and shoving him down with my foot on his chest. The two front legs of his chair were off the ground.
"Where is the right arm?" I spat.
"Like I'm gonna tell you, missy." He winked and I punched him across the face.
He coughed causing some blood to dribble out of his burst lip.
"Wow, okay. You're strong. Still not .. telling ya."
"You little shuck face." I brought my fist up, "Tell us where-"
"Y/n, you need rest." Newt gripped my shoulder.
I growled before letting go of Marcus and he roughly rocked back onto all 4 legs of the chair. I smiled slightly at Newt before sitting back down in my seat.
-
Shots came out of no where and everyone flinched at the sound. We all took cover behind broken down cars. Everyone shouted questions while I just tried to work out who could have shot the bullets.
Two girls, one with brown hair and another with blonde, brought us all up to our feet. They shouted commands and we followed, terrified of getting shot.
"Aris?" The brown haired girl asked and lowered her gun and mask.
"Oh my god. Harriet?" Aris walked forward smiling.
"Harriet? Hold the shuck up. Have I missed something?" I furrowed my eyebrows .
"Y/n, sh." Minho nudged me, his eyes focused on the conversation in front us.
Harriet and the blonde haired girl hugged Aris and they had a small chat while he all still had our arms in the air.
"Hello? What's happening?" Fry asked.
"We were in the maze together." Aris told us and our jaws dropped.
"Oh."
-
Turned our the two girls, Sonya and Harriet, and their team were the right arm. They drove us to a camp filled with people. As seen as we told them we came from Wicked they let us enter but there was a slight problem with Brenda.. she had fainted and Vince, the leader, had found out she was bitten.
A woman called Mary took mine and Thomas' blood. Somehow, this was healing Brenda, slowly but surely. Mary knew Thomas and I from before the maze but we didn't recognise her.
Fry, Minho, Newt and I sat on some rocks laughing and chatting. We were finally happy that we reached the right arm. Thomas walked up and sat beside Newt.
"God, I wish Gally was here." I said to fill the silence and Fry wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to his chest in a hug.
"I wish Alby could have seen this." Newt nodded.
"And Winston." Fry added and I hugged him tighter.
Thomas played with the statue Chuck had given him.
"And Chuck."
I pulled away from Fry and reached into my pocket. I stared down at Chuck's knife. I hadn't used it, never wanting to risk loosing it. I smiled weakly as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"He'd be proud of you, you know, Tommy." Newt said.
"He definitely would, T." I smiled.
"Yeah. I know." Thomas mumbled, trying to force a smile on his face.
"Hey, Aris!" Fry shouted down at everyone else.
Aris waved, "Hey, guys."
I returned the wave while nodding.
"I kinda like that kid." Fry chuckled.
"Yeah, I still don't trust him, though." Minho joked and we all laughed.
"I'm off to see Teresa." I stood up.
"Oh, yeah. Where is she?" Thomas looked at me just before I left.
"Follow me." I nodded my head.
-
Teresa, shucking Teresa. She had called Wicked and told them where we were. The helicopters and planes flew from the horizon and I sprinted down to the camp, leaving her and Thomas on the cliff. Wicked men began to pile out of their vehicles and shoot.
Newt threw me a gun and I took down as many men as possible. I looked up in the sky for a second to see Janson smirking in a helicopter. I wanted to punch that smug, rat face so hard. All around people were dying from both sides.
"Where's Thomas?" Minho screamed as I cocked my gun.
"He's- Ter-" I couldn't get my words out. I was too stressed.
The boys ran over to Vince and Harriet on the truck so I followed close behind. Minho, Newt and Fry stood at the side of the truck while i crouched down at front, shooting any men who even came close. Harriet handed Vince ammo when he shouted.
"Yall, we are a power team!" I smiled.
"I know right!" Fry responded.
"Y/n! Fry! Not right now!" Newt yelled.
More wicked men appeared and I cursed as our ammo began to run low.
"Vince, hurry up! There's too many of them!" Newt shouted.
"I'm out!" Fry screamed.
"Same!" I said. "Shuck this." I stood up and ran to the right towards two men.
"Y/n? What the shuck are you doing?" Fry asked.
I couldn't answer. I fought the two soldiers, which were surprisingly bad at hand to hand combat. In no time, they were laying on the floor unconscious. I was shocked I had gotten so good at fighting in the glade. I ran forward and did the same thing to two more men. But there was too many of them.
I heard a loud electricity crackle and turned around to see everyone by the truck on the floor shaking. Men went over with their guns up.
"No!" I screamed as they pulled my friends unconscious bodies up.
Their heads whipped to me and I felt a shock of electricity hit my spine. Someone had shot me from the back. I blacked out as soon as my head collided with the floor.
-
I felt a tingle on the back off my neck and I opened my eyes quickly. A Wicked guard was scanning my neck. Around me there were rows and rows of people who were on their knees with their hands behind their backs. I sat myself up in the same position beside Fry.
"Where's Thomas?" Janson asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know, ratman." I snarled.
"Right here." Thomas said from behind and we all turned. All lights were shone on him as he held up his arms.
He was roughly shoved next to Minho on his knees and a smirk appeared on Janson's face.
"What the hell are you doing here, slinthead?" I asked, leaning to see him.
"Why didn't you run?" Minho grumbled.
"I'm tired of running." Thomas responded.
A larger plane flew overhead and landed in front of us all. The door slowly opened revealing more armoured men. They walked out and Ava Paige followed in all white.
"You've got to be shucking kidding me?" I snarled under my breath and struggled to get out of the ties on my wrists.
"Y/n, relax. They tied them to tight. You'll only hurt yourself." Fry said and I nodded but continued to struggle.
Ava and Janson had a small conversation and people were started to be piled into ships in groups. Thomas and I were pulled up to be at the same height of Ava.
"Take her ties off." She directed and a man undid my wrists.
I immediately sprung forward but Thomas knew what I was planning and caught me before I could touch her.
"Thomas, let go of me." I spat.
"No. Y/n, relax." He brought his mouth close to my ear, "We can get her later, I promise."
"Okay. Good plan." I whispered back while chuckling. I pushed way from him.
"Hello, Thomas and y/n." Ava said.
"Hello, mother."
"So you know?"
"I've known for a while. I must say, I'm not overly happy about having you as a motherly figure."
Teresa appeared beside Ava and I sprung forward this time managing to push Teresa to the floor with me on top of her.
"I can't believe you. I trusted you!" I lifted up my fist but I was roughly pulled off by Thomas again. Teresa quickly got up, brushing the dirt off her clothes.
"What the hell?" Minho asked as he stood up.
"Teresa?" Fry's voice broke.
"She's with them." Thomas told them.
"She's a snake." I shook Thomas off me.
"I'm sorry. I had no choice. This is the only way. We have to find a cure." Teresa spoke up.
"She's right. This is all just a means to an end." Ava nodded, "You used to understand that, Thomas. No matter what you think of me... I'm not a monster. I'm a doctor."
"A doctor?" I laughed, "Are doctor's supposed to use their own daughters as lab rats? I don't think so."
"I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cost. I just need more time."
"More blood." Mary said and everyone turned.
BANG!
Janson shot the gun. Mary gasped and her hand flew to the new hole in her chest.
"Mary? Mary? Mary!" Vince shouted and ran to her side.
"You little-" I turned back to Janson, "How can you kill so many people and not care?"
He just shrugged in response before walking off. Sonya and Aris were taking away and Thomas pulled the bomb out of his jacket.
"Get back!" He shouted, "Let them go!"
"Thomas, please stop." Teresa pleaded. "I made a deal with them. They promised we'd be safe. All of us."
"Teresa, does this look safe to you?" I held my arms up and pointed to our burnt surroundings.
"Are we supposed to trust you now?" Thomas asked.
"Everything can go back to the way it was. Thomas, y/n.. do you really want all of them to die?" Ava tilted her head.
"I want you to die." I rolled my shoulders back and stood closer to Thomas.
Minho, Newt and Fry joined us.
"We're with you, Thomas." Newt smiled.
"No..." Teresa stammered.
"Don't." Ava shook her head.
"Do it, T." I whispered.
"We're ready." Fry added.
"We're not going back there. It's the only way." Thomas readied his finger over the button to detonate the bomb.
Jorge and Brenda appeared in a car crushing several men in its path.
"Ahahaha! Yes!" I celebrated, secretly happy I wasn't dying yet.
Everyone hurried to get Ava and Teresa safe while we fought off the remaining guards who shot at us. Vince got back on his machine gun with the help of Harriet. Minho picked up a rifle to hold back some of the soldiers while we got away. He was shot with an electricity bullet and he fell down onto his stomach.
"Minho!" We all screamed and ran forward towards the limp boy. Before we could reach him two men grabbed him and took him to the ship.
"Minho! No!" I ran forward but Jorge pushed me back.
"Y/n, no!" He shoved me into Newt's arms who held me back.
"Minho!" Thomas cried and ran after him as well but was held back by Fry.
I watched as Minho was slowly dragged to the ship where Teresa and Ava stood. Janson shot me a smirk and I flicked him off before they left.
Now, Mary was dead and Minho, Aris and Sonya were taken.
-
The next morning we all worked on cleaning the place up but it was no use, there was too much debris.
"We are gonna stick to the plan and get you to the safe haven." Vince stood up.
"I'm off to get Min Min." I said.
"Huh? Min Min?"
"I'm off to get Minho." I repeated.
"I'm coming with you, y/n." Thomas pulled the bag over his shoulder.
"What?" Vince furrowed his eyebrows.
"We have to go after him." Thomas told them.
"Thomas, y/n, listen to me. I've known Minho for ... Well, as long as I can remember. Trust me, if there was anyway we could save him, I would be stood up there with you." Newt said, "This, what you're talking about... is impossible."
"More like suicide." Jorge spoke up.
"T and I have done a suicide mission before. Guess what? We survived." I grinned and wrapped my arm over Thomas' shoulder.
"It's not just about Minho. It's about all of us. It's about everyone Wicked's ever taken, everyone they will take. They'll never stop." Thomas pulled a gun over his free shoulder. "They'll never stop so we're gonna stop them."
"And I'm going to kill Ava Paige." I added smirking.
"I have to admit.. I'd like some revenge." Harriet said, winking at me.
