Brenda held the flare gun up to the air, letting the red flame shoot up into the sky to tell Fry where she was. The chain lowered down, almost hitting Brenda. The short haired brunette quickly attached it to the bus, trying to avoid being shot by the armed guards that surrounded her. Newt shooting at the guards to cover her while she did so.
"Hold on to something!" Brenda instructed the kids as her and Newt ran back onto the bus now that it was securely attached to the crane. The kids screamed as Fry slowly lifted the bus into the sky. Fry however didn't exactly have good steering, as the bus crashed against one of the tall sky scrapers that's littered the City.
"This twat can't drive." Newt whispered to himself.
"Oops sorry." Fry apologised as if they could hear him. Frypan steered the crane so that the bus was now hanging above the other side of the wall. The hook connected to the bus began to slip making panic rise in Brenda and Newts chests.
"Hold on to something!" Newt yelled to the kids, knowing they were in for a bumpy ride. Fry thought quickly and lowered the chain before the bus could fall from a greater height. The buss fell landing on its back before falling forwards so that it was on all four wheels.
"We're alive." Brenda let out a breathily laugh.
"Alright. Everybody off." Newt command, ushering the kids from the bus.
Meanwhile Ariella, Gina, Thomas, Minho and Gally where trying their best to avoid the soldiers, currently hiding behind a wall as security drove passed.
"Well, they're definitely pissed." Gally said stating the obvious.
"How far are the tunnels?" Thomas asked, slightly out of breath from the running they've been doing.
"Uh, maybe 12 blocks from here." Gally answered. Ariella began to cough, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"Ella?" Minho asked warily. Faint black lines could now be seen crawling up Ariella's face, reaching towards her face.
"El, I got something for you." Gally smiled, pulling out the vile of blue liquid he had secured in his pocket.
"That's only temporary. I'm still gonna die eventually." Ariella sighed. Ella hissed in pain as Gally injected her with the serum.
"You and Minho are going to grow old together and die when you're 100. You're not dying on me." Gally stated firmly. He wasn't going to let his little sister die.
Thomas thought back to Teresa words 'There's something about your blood'. Thomas knew he'd never be able to live with himself if he just watched Aria die without doing something about it. While everyone was distracted with Ariella, Thomas snuck off, going back to the WCKD compound.
"Thomas!" Gina called out in a low whisper. "I'm coming with you. I want my shot at killing Janson."
"Where's Thomas and Gia?" Aria asked, noticing the two were missing. Suddenly a loud explosion sounded, a bright orange flame erupting along the wall around the City.
"Lawrence said we were gonna take down WCKD, not the whole damn City." Gally said, watching the flames dance around. Guilt ate away at him as he knew this was his fault. Once again people were dying because of him.
"Gal, this isn't your fault. If not you, he would have used someone else to get in." Ella told him, knowing he was blaming himself.
"I think Thomas and Gina went back." Minho commented. "But why?"
"Teresa said something about Thomas' blood being used as a cure." Aria gasped as realisation came tumbling down.
"And Gina's always wanted revenge at Janson." Minho twigged.
"We have to go after them!" Ariella declared, not wanting to leave either of them behind.
"The cities in utter chaos if we go back now, we'll never make it out. If we go back to Brenda and Jorge then we can use the jet to get them." Gally mapped out a plan as they ducked from the rebells shooting.
"Ariella, we gotta go." Minho told her, dragging her away by her hand.
"Brenda!" Ariella yelled as they towards the jet.
"Where's Gina and Thomas?"
"They went back."
~~~
"Is it true? Ariella. Can I save her?" Thomas asked, his hand shaking as he held the gun up at Ave Paige.
"You can save us all." Ava nodded, her voice filled with regret and guilt as she realised how much harm she had caused. Thomas dropped his gun to the floor, no longer wanting to the doctor.
"It's okay." Ava said softly, her heels kicking against the floor as she walked over to the two children.
"Just leave the others alone." Thomas reasoned, tears rolling down his face as he accepted his fate.
"I promise." She said truthfully, looking up at Thomas with pity. "I will.." Ava began but was interrupted by a gunshot going off, firing through her back. Blood splattered across both Thomas and Gina as they stood in shock. Janson stood their grinning evilly as he held his gun high, smoke surrounding him from where he just fired the gun. Gina took off running as Thomas remained, she hoped he would follow. The brunette wasn't going to stay behind unarmed and with the rat man. Janson shot a tranquilliser dart at Thomas, knocking him unconscious.
"You should have run with her."
Gina ran up the flights of stairs, in search of Thomas. The young girl now armed with a gun and knife as she searched the endless rooms at WCKD.
