Start from the beginning
                                    

"I do. It's been a few years, but I've been there." My uncle Jorge spoke out walking out from behind us. I didn't look up I was still studying the map in front of me. Then it came to me, "The Last City. That's what WICKED called it. I was there a month before I met you guys" I said motioning to Thomas, Newt, and Fry. "It was their whole base of operations. If that city is still standing, that's the last place you wanna go, Hermano. That's the lion's den." Jorge said tapping his finger on the map. "It's nothing we haven't done before," Thomas said looking at Jorge.

"Yes, and if the City is still standing I might know some people that could help," I suggested getting memories of Gally and Oliver back. "Yeah, with months of planning, and reliable information, the element of surprise, none of which we have now," Vince said with hand motions. "Vince, I've thought this through," Thomas said looking at him. No one said a word so I decided to back him up, "would you just hear us out?" I said standing straight no longer leaning on the table. "The last time we went off half-cocked...I lost everything. You remember that?" Vince raised his voice cutting me off.

I looked down for a moment and looked back up again. "Look, I know it's Minho. All right? But you can't ask me to put those kids on the line for one man. I won't do it." Vince said lowering his voice looking at me with a sympathetic look. Thomas gave me a look then we both turned to Newt. The radio started making noise, "Searching the grid now. A is completed. Scanning B-sector now." We heard voices come from the radio. "Shit. Hit the lights." Thomas said as my uncle Jorge pulled the lever.

We all ran out in different directions warning the kids. I was on the beach with Vince and Thomas. "Jeez, they're getting close," Vince said as we looked at the helicopter lights getting close. "You're right," Thomas said looking at Vince. "We can't stay here and risk these kids' freedom," I said still looking out into the distance trying to make up a plan in my head. Vince put a comforting hand on my shoulder and walked away. I sat down in the sand still thinking about a plan. I hadn't even noticed Thomas walked away.

I got up and walked to my hammock packing a bag of things I might need. Somehow I luckily still had my dagger till this day and I grabbed a handgun that was loaded. I was walking past the hammocks when I heard someone moving around in their hammock, Sonya. Sonya sat up rubbing her eyes then looked at me I looked at her with a pleading face. "I know what you're doing and I'm not going to stop you. If you're leaving with the others please, take care of them....especially Newt." Sonya said as she motioned me to hug her.

I hugged her and said "I'll do my best. Thank you, Sonya." She nodded and smiled, "I think my real name might be Lizzy but I'm not sure yet I keep getting the same flashback of the name and a boy calling me that as kids." She said with a confused smile. "We'll figure it out soon, Lizzy I promise," I said walking out. I walked into the garage looking down while cleaning my dagger when I felt someone's presence. "Where do you think you're going then, love," Newt said turning on the lamp beside him.

"Newt..." I said trying to form a way to convince him to stay. "Don't be a twat about it. I'm already in. Come on." Newt said taking my backpack off my shoulders and holding my hand. "No. Newt, not this time. I can't risk you getting hurt." I said trying to get my backpack back as he put held it in his other hand away from me. "Even if we do find Minho...there's no guarantee we'll make it back from this it's too dangerous," I said as I gave up and stopped reaching for my bag. "Well, you'll need all the help you can get then, hmm?" Newt said putting my bag in the back seat. He opened the front door revealing Fry in the driver's seat and Thomas in the passenger seat.

"Hey, Y/n!" Fry said with a grin. I smiled and then Thomas spoke up, "you once said "we'll always be with you, Thomas" now it's our turn we'll always be with you, Y/n." He said as he smiled. I smiled and gave him a nod as thanks. I looked back at Newt, his arms crossed with that knowing smirk on his face. "Well, we started this together. May as well end it that way, too." Newt said holding out his hand for me. I put out my hand and took a hold of his hand, "alright you guys win. Let's go get Min Min back." I said as Newt and I got into the back seats of the truck and drove off on the look for Minho.

Narrator's POV

Minho was awoken by the sound of the gentle breeze

Minho was awoken by the sound of the gentle breeze. He opened his eyes and looked at the tree above him sunlight shining through. Minho sits up with wide eyes as he takes in where he is. He stands up in shock as he realizes where he has been put, "No." Minho mumbles to himself as he turns in a circle looking at the maze walls. Minho begins to walk around the place he had once know as the Glade. He suddenly hears a familiar sound coming from a distance. He spots three familiar male figures in the distance resembling Winston, Chuck, and Alby. Chuck was engraving his name into the stone wall as Alby and Winston watched beside him. "Hey!" Minho yelled getting their attention, the three boys turned around and Minho got a look at them and was in shock to be seeing them.

He heard leaves crunch nearby, a boy was running fast heading into a door. A girl he recognized as his sister running after the boy, "Hey! Hey! No, no, no. Wait. Hey! Hey, wait, Y/n, wait! Hey, smalls, it's okay! Hey!" Minho yelled running after his sister and the boy through the door. Minho runs into the door to find himself in the hallways of tunnels. He hears a screeching sound and doors open he begins to run as he is being chased by a Griver. He turns around to catch a glance shining a bright light into his eyes. He turns back around but he is no longer able to move, as he tries moving his arms he ends up being pulled by a strange force into the ceiling as he grunted in pain. He became silent and still as he heard the Griver getting closer.

He slightly looked down to see his sister be thrown into a wall by the Griver he watched as her body laid unconscious on the floor. Tears rolled down his cheeks as the Griver clawed the ceiling beside him and let out an awful screech. "Y/n! Y/n! No!" Minho yelled awaking as he let out scared screams, he was being drained with tubes coming out of his body. His body calming down feeling drained and tired as he remembered what he had just experienced, a tear rolling down his cheek as he closed his eyes, tired.

"It's not as effective as the maze, but it seems to be working." A man in a lab coat said speaking to Ava Paige through the glass. "It's promising. But we'll need a larger sample to work with." Ava said to the doctor as she looked at Teresa, Teresa kept her focus on the people in front of her not looking at Ava. "All right. Carry on." Said the man in the lab coat as he signaled the other doctors to continue with what they were doing to Minho. "No! No!" Minho yelled and screamed in pain as they continued to give him more visions and Teresa watched with a straight face looking down not wanting to watch what was in front of her.
