Maze runner (fanfiction): Resilience

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

Please read at your own discretion as the following content has partial profanity and may seem outright depressing.

 

Newt gingerly touched the collapsed walls of his former prison. Memories flooded his mind. Him and Thomas, playing around and sneaking out. Getting sent to the maze, and going back to WICKED for the second phase. Even hearing that he had the flare. Looking at the ruins made Newt quite happy, but somewhere deep inside, he felt sad.

“Well, Tommy did a bloody good job at destroying WICKED.”

“Yeah… he did.” Jackson replied, shocked at what Thomas had accomplished.

The two rushed towards the building, eager to see their allies. Newt rushed inside what had been the crank pit, only to find that a few cranks were scratching the walls among other things.

“Let’s kill ‘em”

“Bloody good idea!”

Newt snatched Jackson’s gun and emptied the clip. Soon, there were lots of dead bodies in front of them.

“You got any more ammo, Jackson?”

“I’m out man. We shouldn’t have wasted that ammo.” Newt didn’t reply. He knew he’d done something stupid. Newt pulled out his knife.

“What about me?” Newt bent down, picked up a pocket knife and handed it to Jackson. “Yeah. If someone attacks me, this pocket knife will totally save me.”

“It’ll work much better than your fists. Let’s go… I think I remember the way to the living quarters.” With that, the two of them walked deeper inside the building.

“Hey, Harry! Come back quick! Two-” Newt found the man sending out the warning and impaled his knife through the man.

“You’re the crank…” The man figured out Newt’s secret.

Newt nodded. “I am...and I’m gonna kill you and your pathetic little group before you kill me and my friend here. Newt pulled out the knife and the man slumped to the floor.

“Newt! We’ve got enemies!” Jackson yelled as he pushed Newt behind a wall, just as bullets were fired.

“Come out and we’ll shoot you in the head and end you painlessly!”

“Bloody good offer, but I’ll have to decline.”

“What?! Newt, they’ve gotten here! The planted the sign there! They also happen to have guns, so exactly what do we fight them with?”

“I know they have guns... If we take out their lamps, we can take them out. Hand me your pocket knife.” Jackson handed over the pocket knife. Newt turned around and took a quick peek at his enemies. Three men, all armed with some sort of gun. Newt took aim and threw the knife trying to hide behind the wall. The knife found its mark and the lamp fell to the floor, making a wet mess of oil, glass, and metal. Suddenly a light pointed in Newt’s direction. Jackson took Newt’s knife and ran towards the men. A few minutes and lots of bullets later, Jackson returned.

“I...took... them...out.” Jackson almost fell to the floor. Newt caught him.

“Yes, you did Jackson. You did a bloody good job.” Newt raised the light at Jackson’s motionless body. Jackson’s hand had been shot off during the fight. Someone had fired lots of shots at the back of his head. Jackson also had multiple bullets embedded in his chest. Newt was horrified by what the men had done to him. He picked up the torch and all three guns and walked towards the inside of WICKED.

Soon enough, he looked at two guards. The guards didn’t even raise their guns by the time Newt had already raised and fired his. Both men slouched against their makeshift chairs. Newt was even more enraged than before by what had become of Jackson. Newt marched further in. Anyone who moved was dead when he passed by them. Newt kept moving until he heard a voice.

“So,  are the turrets ready? I want the crank dead now Michael!”

“Yes sir, they’re ready. All he has to do is walk into our trap.”

As much as Newt wanted revenge, it was going to have to wait. There was no way Newt could take the fight and walk out alive. Newt knew where the enemy base was. He’d never felt such fury until he lost Jackson. He was the reason Newt was alive, but just like any other loss, he’d just have to pretend that nothing ever happened.

I always say 'interesting piece' when I read a good article, so I'll change it a bit this time. A decent piece of writing! Although you do need more work with your expression, I must say that you have tremendously evolved compared to the first time you wrote here.

Thanks Destrod! If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean when you say replacing words with pronouns and changes in line spacing?

Obviously, he has to say something otherwise no one will respect him.

Yeah, This has nothing to do with the real maze runner stories. My story is set right after the death cure, and my goal was to make it the same timeline. I also felt that writing about a character like Thomas would be a "perfect" story because there would be no flare and all, and Newt's my personal favourite too.

Well that's one way to see it, I suppose. I feel that reporters (especially Destrod) have in general really helped me improve my writing. With the fact that the reporters don't actually have an obligation to help us, I'd say I am quite happy that they are.

Will you continue your intergalactic battles series?

Will you continue your intergalactic battles series?

I think I will. I learned much from writing that, and also I did have some thoughts regarding where I could go. Mind if I ask why you ask?
