It was a few months later and Newt was sitting behind a rock. He was sitting next to others, waiting for the signal.
"Do you think it is going to work?" One of them asked after a while.
"I hope, as long as Tommy doesn't kill himself." Newt said.
"Yeah, hate to tell ya but, you're dating an idiot." Newt rolled his eyes.
"I sadly know." They waited for a while until they heard a whistle. They stood up and saw Thomas and Vince by the train.
"Come on." Newt called the others. They all ran to the train. Newt started to work on the train.
"Newt, how are you doing?!" Thomas called out.
"Don't rush me." Newt yelled over all the chaos. He had finally disconnected the box from the train."I'm done!" Newt yelled. He saw the others had finished as well. He saw the berg coming over. They connected the box to the berg.
"Newt, get up here!" Thomas yelled. Newt saw the box being lifted up. He ran to the ladder and jumped, grabbing the last bar."Newt!" Newt went to climb when he felt a hand grab onto his leg. He looked up to Thomas, who saw what happened as Newt's hand slipped, making him fall."Newt!" Was the last thing that Newt heard until he hit the ground.
"We have to go back." Thomas said.
"And risk everyone getting caught?" Vince asked."I'm sorry but it won't go well."
"But Newt..." Thomas said.
"I'm sorry kid." Vince said. They flew to their hideout. They opened the door and went in. Thomas went to Aris, who had a cut on his lip and a bruise on his cheek.
"Aris, are you ok?" Thomas asked. Aris nodded.
"Yeah, we're ok." Aris said. Thomas kept on looking as Harriet hugged Aris and Sonya. He didn't see Minho in the train, and he turned back to see Frypan.
"He isn't here." Thomas told Frypan. Frypan just sadly nodded and went to help everyone out the chains, Thomas following him. Later, Aris, Sonya, Harriet, Thomas, and a few others were in a room together.
"Took you guys long enough." Aris jokes. Thomas softly smiled.
"Missed ya too buddy." Thomas softly said."What happened?"
"I fought back. Well, tried to anyways."
"We're lucky you found us. They were moving us a lot. Something about a city." Sonya said. The group looked at each other.
"I didn't think there were any cities left." Harriet said.
"There isn't. Not standing anyways." Brenda said.
"Wait, what about Minho? Why wasn't he on the train." Thomas asked. Aris and Sonya looked at each other and then looked at Thomas.
"I'm sorry Thomas. He was on the train." Thomas sighed.

Janson was walking along a man by the train tracks.
"They got 40, maybe 50 kids. We're still compiling an official count, but the pilot got a good look. He thinks it was them." The man said.
"Of course it was them." Janson growled. "What about the Berg?"
"We tracked it a few miles. But someone must have known about the locator. They're totally off the grid." Janson came to the train as kids were being scanned and moved out. "We're searching the area, but they're probably long gone by now." Janson looked at the group of the kids and smirked when he saw Minho.
"Oh, no, they're not going anywhere." Janson walked to Minho."He didn't get what he really wanted." Minho glared at him.
"Sir, we also got one of them." Two men came over with Newt and Janson smirked even more.
"Well, well, well." Janson said, coming to Newt. Minho looked up and saw his friend.
"Newt." Minho softly said. Newt turned to look at his friend.
"Minho." Newt softly said. Minho looked exhausted.
"His plan didn't work that well then." Janson said, grabbing Newt's face, making the blonde look at him."You are going to be useful." Newt glared at the man.

Later, Thomas was with Vince in the map room. He pointed at a spot." That's where they are taking Minho and Newt. Take as many people as possible, follow the roads. It will take a week." Thomas said.
"A week? We have over 100 kids here and you want us to stay here? After what we had pulled? We don't even know what is there." Vince said. Jorge went to them.
"I know. The Last City, Wicked used to call it." He pointed at the map." If that place is still standing, that's the last place you want to be hermano." Jorge said.
"We can still do it. We did it before." Thomas said
"Yeah, with months of planning! Look I know it's Minho and Newt and I know you care for them, but you can't ask me to risk those kids for two people." The radio started to make noise. They listened for a little bit.
"Hit the lights." Thomas said. Frypan turned off the lights and heard a Berg. He looked outside and saw a Berg searching a place close to them. They waited for the berg to leave. Frypan saw Thomas and Vince talking by the water. After a while, Aris came to Frypan.
"If I know Thomas, he is going to go by himself to find those two." Frypan said.
"I'm coming with you." Aris said. Frypan looked at him." I want revenge." Frypan nodded.
Frypan waited for Thomas for a few minutes until he saw him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Frypan asked, turning on the light.
"Fry..." Thomas said. Frypan came to him.
"Don't fight it, I'm already in." He grabbed the bag from Thomas.
"No. Not this time. Look, even if we find Newt and Minho, there is no guarantee that we will make it back."
"Well, we will need all the help we can get." Frypan opened the driver, getting in and the middle door opened, and Aris smiled at Thomas." We started this together. Might as well finish it too." Thomas looked at Aris.
"Are you sure about this?" Aris nodded. "You just got away from them, and you want to go back?"
"I need payback." Thomas nodded and got in."Plus, they are my friends too."
