the scorch trials summary (may contain spoilers for some readers)
The story continues with Thomas and the Gladers still in the facility from getting saved by the "rescuers". one night after the Rescue, Thomas and teresa were speaking to each other in their heads, they talk about a lot of random things, but at the very end of their conversation, Teresa seemed to be scared and yelled for Thomas. The next morning, strange things happen; the rescuers are found hung, dead in a room, the windows were blocked with bricks, and later the body's of the rescuers were missing. After Thomas thinks of where Teresa could be he runs to her room. When he opens the door, Teresa is gone, and seemed to be replaced by a boy named Aris.
The Gladers Demanded an explanation from Aris, he said he came from the maze and he was surrounded by a group of girls who to the Gladers, were called group B. It was the same story the gladers went through, almost exactly the same, it scared most of the Gladers. Later on they find a man who they now call "rat man", and he explains what was going on. He explained how the maze was a plan, how they were infected with the flare, and how they would get the cure. He said the maze was only phase one of the WICKED project, and it was now time for phase two, The Scorch Trials.
The Gladers were instructed to go through a device called a flat trans. The second they went through it was completely dark, and the further the got in the more dangerous it became. Metal spheres were dropping from the ceiling with sharp blades killing two Gladers, but they were finally able to get out.The second they got out it was as bright as the sun itself, and they had to cover themselves up with what they had. They ate and drank as much as they could as they could as they were walking towards what looked like a city, but it looked like a storm was coming.
At first the storm just seemed like rain, but then came fierce winds and deadly sparks of lightning. 7 Gladers died in the storm, so now only 11 Gladers remained. they were found by a group of cranks hidden in the building where the Gladers ran to hide from the storm. The Leader insulted Minho and then Minho beat him up, which made the leader, whose name was George, called his friends and threatened to kill Minho, but Thomas made a deal with him, if they protected the Gladers and get them to the safe heaven, its possible they could get the cure for the flare. The Leader had a friend named Brenda who seemed to like Thomas.
There was an attack on them by no one knows who, and Thomas gets stuck with Brenda, and they end up protecting themselves from two other crank groups. When they regroup again, Thomas gets shot by a random crank, but is saved when something called a girl picks him up and restores him. As the Gladers continue their journey, They find group B, and it seems Teresa is their Leader. Teresa starts to act like a traitor to Thomas and the Gladers, and then so does Aris, and they both put Thomas in a gas chamber. It was later discovered that Teresa's and Aris's betrayal was an act, but Thomas still doesn't know if he can trust Teresa any more.
The Gladers, and group B, finally make it to the safe haven, but nothing is there, except for a stick in the ground saying they've made it. They all end up fighting for their lives against these creatures that seam even worst than a griever but were too easy to beat. They all made it onto a berg which was said to take them to the safe heaven, but the pilot did not accept George or Brenda coming, and said only one of them could come, but Thomas ended up saving them both. They were then promised they would get the cure and all that they were told, and were asked to relax. The next time Thomas wakes up he's in a different place, the last thing he does is have a conversation with Teresa in his head, and the last thing she says to him is, "WICKED is good".
