The Death Cure - I am writing for all three movies I suggest reading the first two parts of the series first. I know, it's long, but I'm having fun writing these.
Summary: The gladers need to get Minho back. And they're going through with Thomas's plan to take down WCKD. Things aren't at all simple.
You had the same dream again. The same dream of seeing your brother.
You wake up when they stop the car. Newt gives you water and you give him a small smile. You sit up, leaving Thomas's grasp. He looks at you then at Newt. You drink some of the water and roll your eyes at the boys.
"Yeah, you said that before," Newt says. You give him a pointed look.
"I'm good. I feel better than before," you say. Newt sighs and nods, hopping out of the car. You go to follow him and Thomas grabs your hand you look back at him.
"I'm going. I'm good. I'll tell you if I'm dizzy again, okay?" He looks a little annoyed but doesn't say anything and nods.
"Yeah, but you have to tell me, okay?" he says. You nod.
"Yeah, I promise." You get out of the car, looking around. Pretty soon your group approaches a riot type group. They were all standing by the wall.
"This place has really gone to hell," Jorge says.
"We just have to stay together," Thomas says. A man passes by on a car, other men with gas masks and guns were on the car with him. You moved out of the way. You had a slight headache and everyone was yelling around you. One of the men with gas masks looks at Thomas as he drives by. You see Thomas looking at him too.
Drones start flying above all of the people. You go through a tunnel with the others and Thomas looks over at the large doors.
"That's it. That's our way in." He starts off, and you glance back at the others. You roll your eyes, catching up to Thomas.x
"Thomas, all of these people are trying to get in. What makes you think that we'll find something that they can't?" You ask.
"We came this far, I'm not turning back now," he says. He pushes further in, and you almost got separated from him, but you grab his hand. He looks at you, and glances back at the others.
"Okay," you say. He doesn't let go of your hand, but he keeps pushing forward.
"What the hell did we get ourselves into?" You hear Frypan ask. You were being pushed around, but Thomas held a grip on your hand. Eventually you and Thomas make it to the head. You could see the opening. It was a long shot.
"This doesn't feel right. If we tried to run... it looks to easy," you say. Newt runs up to you Thomas and Jorge.
"Guys, we gotta go now. Look," he says and looks back. The man in the gas mask was pushing towards all of you. Your eyes widened and you looked around. A bunch of them were coming for you. Jorge pulls out a gun. Then there is a loud blaring and everyone goes quiet. Everyone looks back at the doors. Machines were turning on and turning towards the group. The rioters started running.
Then they go off. Loud bangs erupt and your head feels like it's going to explode. You stumble back, into Newt. He steadied you up and you all started running in the opposite direction.
You all manage to duck around a corner as another one goes off right behind you, throwing you into a wall. Thomas gestures to come with him. "Come on!" He yells. You keep running with him. People with gas masks started taking all of you. Thomas is grabbed by the one that was looking at him before.
"No!" But you're grabbed too. You're all shoved into a van. They start droving you to the outskirts of the city. You, Thomas, and Brenda were all facing three masked men. You'd tried not to be alone with the two of them since the 'party' at Marcus's. Thomas glances at you but you kept looking at the one who grabbed Thomas. You couldn't see his face but something was familiar about him.
Once the vans come to a stop, they open the trunk door from behind you. You all get out of your van. You look over and see the other van shaking and groaning coming from inside. Jorge falls out, punching one of the guys. You all try to stop him. You see Newt putting his hands up and stepping back, but you don't. You won't. You know that man, and you wanted to find out who the hell it was.
"Everybody relax! We're all on the same side here!" He yells. You recognized his voice.
"What do you mean same side?" Thomas asks, walking up to him. "Who the hell are you?" You walk past Thomas gaping at the masked man. You were in shock to say the least.
"Take it off," you say. The man stares at you for a second. "Take it off!"
The man puts his head down and slips off the gas mask. Gally. He nods at Thomas.
"Hey, Greenie," he says. Thomas steps up next to you. He was in shock. You all were.
"Gally?" he asks. You shake your head.
"You should be dead," you say quietly. Gally glances at you. Thomas runs forward, punching Gally and knocking him over. Newt and you run forward.
"Stop! It's alright! It's alright!" Gally yelled to his men that had guns on Thomas. Thomas goes to punch Gally again. You grab his wrist, kneeling down next to him.
"Stop it! Stop," you say. He was still looking at Gally.
"He killed Chuck," he says.
"I know. I remember. But he was stung, Thomas," you say and Newt was on the other side of Thomas.
"He was half out of his mind," Newt adds. Thomas didn't show a sign of backing down. Newt glanced around at the people holding guns at all of you. He lower your voice, seeming more calming.
"Calm down, Thomas." Frypan puts a hand on his shoulder. Thomas glares at Gally, and pushes himself up, away from him. You look down at Gally.
"Thanks," he says. You don't give him any emotion. He'd received this look from you many times before. He knew he was in deep shit with you just from that look.
"Don't thank me," you say, standing up. Gally stands up slowly and tilts his head, rubbing his jaw.
"Kinda had that comin," he says. "Anybody else? Fry? Newt? Y/N?" You roll your eyes at him. You considered it, but you probably couldn't make a coordinated shot at the moment.
"You know this guy?" Jorge asks. You continued looking at Gally.
"He was an old friend of ours," Frypan says.
"How, how is this possible? I don't... we watched you die!" Newt says.
"No, you left me to die. And if we hadn't found you when we did, you'd be dead right now," he says. He looks down and sighs. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Minho," you say. "WCKD has him here. We're looking for a way in."
"I can help with that," he says after a moment. You glance at Newt and Thomas. "Follow me."
"We're not going anywhere with you," Thomas says. You look down, thinking.
"Suit yourself. But I can get you through those walls," he says. Thomas opens his mouth but you beat him to it.
"Okay." Your friends all look at you. You walk up to Gally, glaring. "But by no means does this mean you are forgiven for everything you did, or that we owe you anything. You help us, and you leave us the hell alone," you say.
He looks at you for a minute before nodding and turning. You stand there for a second before starting to follow him.
"After the maze, I got picked up by a group headed to the city," Gally says as he was showing you all around. "They realized I was immune, patched me up, brought me here. This group's been at war with WCKD ever since they took control of the city. But WCKD can't hide behind those walls forever. Days gonna come and they'll pay for what they've done." Then he stops and turns to all of you. "Listen, uh, he doesn't get alot of visitors. So, uh, let me do the talking. And try not to stare."
Then he starts walking again. You all look at eachother, confused. But you start after Gally first. He takes you down stairs and you see a man.
"Glad to see you made it back. Jasper told me what happened," he says.
"It was slaughter. There's nothing we can do against those guns," Gally says.
"No... but they can only poke the hornets nest for so long before they get stung," he says. The more you looked at the man you realized you couldn't see a nose. "Who are these people? Why are they here?" Gally looks back at you as Thomas steps forward.
"We need to get into WCKD. Gally said you could get us through the walls," Thomas says. The man, who was still in the shadows turns to look at Thomas.
"Well, Gally should know better than to keep promises that he can't keep," the man says. You look at Gally, who looks down. "Besides. The wall is only half your problem. Getting inside WCKD is impossible."
"There might be a way now," Gally says. "But it doesn't work without Thomas." Thomas looks at Gally confusedly and you look back at Newt and Frypan.
"Is that so?" The man steps forward, into the light. He didn't just not have a nose. The side of his face was deteriorating. "You know what I am... Thomas?" The man gets in Thomas's face, and Thomas doesn't even flinch. "I am a buisness man," he whispers just loud enough for you to hear. "Which means that I don't take unnecessary risks. Why should I trust you?"
"Because I can help you," Thomas says. "You see, if you can get me through those walls, I can get you what you need."
"What is it... that you think I need?" The man asks.
"Time," Thomas answers. "Every last drop." You saw that Gally looked nervous looking between the two of them. But Thomas didn't take his eyes off the man.
"WCKD is something we both want," Thomas says.
"I tell you what... three of you go for now. The rest stay with me," the man says. "Just a little insurance to make sure you find your way back." Three? But there are six of you. Half of you would be left behind with this guy. Thomas glances back at all of you. "We have a deal?" The man asks, extending his hand to Thomas.
Thomas takes it and shakes it. You close your eyes. This man concerned you. "Gally, show em the way."
Gally brings you all to a drop down tunnel and puts down a ladder. Gally goes to go down the ladder and Frypan kneels down near him.
"Gally, take care of these three," he says. Gally nods.
"Yeah," he says. You look over at Thomas. You were standing by Newt. He looked at you then went to go down the ladder. You looked at Newt. He was looking at his hand.
"You good?" You ask. Newt nods and stand up. He looks down and then back at you.
"You first," he says. You roll your eyes and climb after Thomas and Gally. Once in the tunnel and walking, you realized how much it reaked. "This is gross." You glance back at Newt.
"Yeah, this is great," Thomas says. Then Gally hits a switch, turning the lights in the tunnel on.
"Stay with me. We got a ways to go," he says. Newt made it infront of you. Eventually you all made it to a door. Gally peaked out before opening it and walking out. He walked with confidence, blending into the crowd. Some people had masks on. They were all dressed properly. You were stood inbetween Newt and Thomas. All four of you were covered in grime.
After going up som stairs, you can see the buildings. You marveled at them. The city was full of technology, blue lights, and noise.
"This is a long way from the glade," Newt says. Then an announcement goes off about a curfew. You looked around.
"We better get off the streets," Gally says. "I know it's hard, but, act like you've seen it before."
The three of you looked at eachother and then followed Gally.
Thomas and you fell back slightly, and he put a gentle hand on your arm. You look at him and he glances forward at Newt and Gally.
"Are you okay?" He asks. You sigh and give him a small smile, nodding.
"Yeah, I'm good." He doesn't look at all convinced. "I've got a little headache, but I promise I'm okay." He sighs, glancing around.
"I'm not going back, Thomas," you say. He nods, meeting your eyes.
"I know. But you shouldn't have come," he says. You press your lips together, putting your head down a little. "Come on. You're laying down when we get back though." You chuckle a little and nod.
"I'd hope we all do," you say. He gives you a pointed look and you nod. "Okay." He nods, and the two of you catch up to Newt and Gally.
