When Groups A and B escape the Scorch, the Berg they end up on has no pilot, no crew, and no weapons, they are forced to forage for supplies before they crash. Thomas asks Brenda if she thinks anyone can fly the ship, and she tells him how Jorge can fly, he's a pilot! He asks her if Jorge was willing to fly, and she tells him to ask. Tom does what she says, and Jorge abilges. In the cockpit, Thomas, Newt, Minho, Brenda, and Jorge create a plan on what to do. They decide to go straight to WICKED, because that location was hardwired onto the ship's GPS. Once there, they find a way in, and head towards the weapons closet. They gave poles and spears, and one pistol just in case guards are right around the corner. For some reason, there aren’t any. Before they leave the landing pit, Jorge and Brenda split the group in two, boys and Brenda go for the weapons, Jorge and the girls guard the Bergs. When they get to the weapons shed, Minho, Thomas, Frypan, and Brenda collect boxes of weapons and ammo, while Newt, obviously infected, mills about, but then all of a sudden, needs to go get something. He comes back with a sealed envelope, and tells Tommy no to give it to anyone, and to open it when the time was right. By then, they start to head back down, arms/ electric grenade launchers full with ammo. By the time they get down there, something else has gone wrong. The girls stole one of the Bergs, along with giving Jorge a concussion. They hang out in the remaining cargo ship until Jorge felt better enough to fly. Jorge decides to bring them to Denver, one of the only places left on the sun-scorched Earth that is disease free (not really), and security overloaded. Once they are approved immune, Jorge, Brenda, Minho, and Thomas head into town and stop at a cafè to get lunch. A man was found on the Bliss, a drug that’s for the infected that slows you down and clears your mind. A large crew comes in and evacuates the room, but captures little group of immunes and brings them to an underground concrete room, where they find the rest of the Gladers, groups A and B, trapped there as well. Once they escape, both groups, minus Newt, who was taken away to the Crank-Land, were put in a large van and brought to the airport.SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!On the way, they found Newt, and Thomas remembered what the letter wanted. He told the driver to pull over for a minute, because he had to do something. By then, Newt had noticed them and was making a slow approach. Thomas got out and Newt told him to kill him. Thomas raised his gun but couldn’t shoot. He had to get tackled by Newt, and the ex-leader had to hold the gun to his head for Thomas to do anything. Finally, after a lot of screaming, Thomas closed his eyes, counted to three, and shot. Once they got to their destination, they flew back to WICKED. There, Rat Man gave everyone their memories back, if they wanted them. Only Minho and Thomas refused. When the rest were given their memories back, a group called the Red Flag decided to blow up WICKED, and in the big escape, something worse than Newt’s death happened.SPOILER ALERT AGAIN!!! SPOILER ALERT AGAIN!!!Right as they were running to the flat trans, Teresa tripped, and fell behind the others. Just then, as she started to run again, a loud BOOM erupted. As she started to scream and run faster, a bulbous chunk of concrete fell from the ceiling, crushing her lungs. She was still alive, and Thomas wanted to help, but there wasn’t enough time. Everyone was out now, other than four, Thomas, Minho, Brenda, and a dying Teresa. Minho jumped through, then Brenda, and Thomas hesitated, but went eventually, after a last goodbye, he went. They are in a large warehouse after they go through the Flat Trans, and Brenda shuts it down, everyone leaves, and she burns the building to the ground, “Just in case.”
