Y/N's POV
The screeching sound of the Wicked train fills my ears as we wait a distance away for Jorge's signal. "Okay, so Y/N, you'll jump first. Then I will and Vince will moments after." Thomas says holding the walkie-talkie. "Wait so that means..." Vince starts as I finish. "The car will flip." I say patting his shoulder. Vince rubs the steering wheel of the car as if he's comforting it. I start to laugh. "Thomas?" I question. He turns around to me seeing as I'm in the back seat. "Yes?" Thomas questions. "Did you have wailers in your maze?" I ask as his eyebrows furrow. "Wailers?" He asks. So I'm guessing that's a no? "You know, the spider like machines." I question. "Ohhh, you mean Grievers? We called them grievers." He replies turning back towards the front. "Oh." I answer looking down. It was silent. So silent, I can hear the wind blowing against my ear. "Don't worry about the maze anymore. We got out didn't we? Let's focus on one thing and one thing only." Thomas encourages pointing out the flare signal sent up in the sky. "Let's go get Minho!" I shout when Vince starts the vehicle. Vince hits the gas pedal as we watch the Wicked train come into sight. I grab onto the top frame of the car as the bumpiness makes me somewhat jerk around even with my seatbelt on. Vince pulls the ginormous wheels over the tracks as we trail behind the back train car. "Brenda, we're coming up behind, keep em busy." Thomas suggests to Brenda in the walkie-talkie. "This is crazy Y/N!" Vince yells back to me. I unbuckle my seat belt as I crawl to the front middle seat. I step over Thomas as he holds my waist to keep my balance. "Be careful!" Thomas reminds as I crouch on the hood of the car. "Vince I need it closer" I demand holding onto a rope connected to the frame of the car. He inches closer to the ladders on the back train car. "Keep it steady Vince!" I shout as I prepare to make my jump. "Keep it steady Vince" Vince mimics in a girl tone of voice. As he mimics me, the tire hits the rail causing me to almost fall. "Thomas!" I yell in fear before I get my balance back. I take a deep breath and leap for the ladder. My left food lands on one pole and my sweaty palms grasp the sides. Shaking, I climb up a little more leaving room for Thomas to get on the same ladder as me. Thomas hooks the front hook of the car to the back of the train to keep it steady for Vince when he jumps. Thomas does exactly as I do and hops onto the ladder heavily breathing. "Okay Vince come on!" Thomas yells while Vince continues to steer as he slowly makes his way to the stop of the hood. As he prepares to jump, the hook loosens causing the car to slowly grow farther from the train. "Vince now!" I shout as he hurdles all of his force and barely grabs onto the poles with his hands. We watch as the car looses balance and flips onto its side rolling off the tracks. We shrug as I get ready to climb the ladder. I suddenly hear the sound of a helicopter. I look up to see a mother wicked aircraft as it hovers over the train. "Thomas!" I point up to it. "Hey Brenda, you've got company!" Thomas says into the walkie-talkie. I climb up the ladder to see Wicked guards running on top of the train cars toward the back of the train. "Thomas we have company too!" I yell pointing. He smiles, "Were you really expecting this to be easy?" I stare at him, "I thought it wouldn't be this much work." "Thomas, you're on your own. Don't die!" Brenda yells into the talking device. "Good luck!" Thomas shouts back before putting it on his belt. We climb to the top and start to run in the direction of the guards.
       The guards start to shoot at us as we jump down to an area between two train cars. Vince works on the latch that's holding the train together while Thomas takes out his gun. He looks at me as I pull out my pistol. We watch the guards come over the top as we start to shoot at them. "Anytime now Vince, that would be great!" I yell shooting a Wicked guard in the shoulder. I look back to see Vince pull up on the bomb. "Ok we're set! Cover your eyes!" Vince shouts as Thomas and I jump on the ladder on the side of the train. A big explosion occurs when the front of the train is still on its way to wherever it's going. The train we're on slowly stops and we jump off of the ladder. Thomas walks over and whistles off into the distance. I see Newt pop up from behind a rock with his melting device. We look off to the train to see it come to a stop as Wicked guards jump off and head this way. "It's going to be close." Vince states.
        "Come on!" Newt yells to the others hiding as they run in our direction. "How do we know which one Minho's on?" I question Thomas as he starts banging on the side of the train car. "Minho! Minho are you in there!" Thomas yells as he continues to beat on the side of the train car. All the kids who are in there start yelling covering up any chance we have to hearing Minho's voice. I close my eyes and listen. I search for his voice. Finally, I hear a very faint voice come from Minho's mouth. "This one!" I yell hitting the front train car. "He's in here! I heard him!" I say. Newt runs by me and puts on his mask. He uses his blow torch to separate the train car from the frame and wheels. Some other guy who's name I don't know is doing the same on the other side. "How's it coming Newt?" Thomas questions as we watch the Wicked guards get closer and closer to us. "Don't rush me." He mocks continuing to melt the metal. "Okay listen! Newt and Carson are going to continue to separate the train. Vince and Y/N, you guys stay in front of them and shoot the wicked guards to protect them. Josh, come with me up here! We're going to prepare for them to come." Thomas orders climbing up the ladder. So Carson is the name of the kid who is melting the other side. I stand in front of Newt holding my gun up ready to fire at any guard coming our way. "Carson's finished!" Vince yells as I see the Wicked guards coming. I start to shoot at them and they fire back at us. "Newt... any time now!" I yell as he shouts, "Done!" I turn around to climb the ladder when I feel a sharp pain on my arm. I grab my arm in pain as I realize i've been shot. "Shit!" I wince holding my bloody arm. "Newt! Get her up there!" Vince insists covering us by shooting at the guards. Newt rips the bottom of his shirt and puts it underneath my arm. "This is going to hurt." He says tying the cloth around my wound. I cringe in pain, trying to be strong. He finishes tying it and helps me up on the ladder. We make it to the top as Thomas ducks me and Newt down. "What the hell?" Thomas questions and says, "We're you?" I smile as I pull out my gun. "Shot? Yes I was." I say aiming my gun at one of the guards and shooting him in the chest. All the sudden, the Wicked aircraft hovers over the train car were at. All the guards stop shooting. I feel relieved when the hook start to come down so we can make our escape. For a second there, I was worried it wasn't the others. Once the guards realize what is going on, they start pressing in sprinting at the train. "Vince is still down there!" I inform. "Vince! Come on!" Thomas yells. I lay on my stomach and start shooting at the guards. Thomas hooks the hook onto the top of the train car and yells to Vince again. "Vince! We'll cover you! Jump!" Newt shouts to him commanding him to jump to the ladder as the mother aircraft takes off. Thomas, Newt, Carson, Josh, and I start shooting at the guards. "Now Vince!" Thomas signals as Vince barely makes it onto the ladder. We all sit down catching our breath. Newt checks my wound as I hug him. "I'm okay. I promise." I say with the satisfaction that we finally have Minho back after all this time. The Wicked burg goes up as we all hug one another.
