Thomas the Boy that can Outsmart anyone Else. Cal B.

Thomas figured out a way to analyze the map information.  The maps that were burned were decoys and Thersea helped Thomas figure the real maps that had multiple codes on them. The codes were random words that could be imputed to a computer. 

Thomas and the Gladers headed off in to the maze and came across a small bunch of Grievers.  Thomas was unfortunately stung and went through the changing.  He admitted that he was forced to help the creators create the maze and that he could get everyone out.  

He tells everyone that they share a telepathic link. He also knows the way out of the Maze is over a cliff face.  This cliff face is where the Grievers enter and exit the maze and the computer where they could input the code is there.  Everyone set out to the maze with the Gladers against the Grievers.  The Grievers got some Gladers, but Chuck, Thersea, Thomas, and about 20 others were able to make it to the dark hole where they could input the code into the computer.  The few Gladers left, entered an elevator and shot down into a bunker.  There the Gladers cam face to face with the creators, separated by a piece of glass.  A woman came to greet the Gladers. She tells them they have done well. She has a young boy with her. The boy is Gally. Gally drew a knife and throws it at Thomas. Chuck steps in front of the knife, giving his life to save Thomas. Thomas is crushed. He had promised Chuck he would find a way out and get Chuck back to his family. He attacks Gally, nearly beating the boy to death.  soon after the Gladers are exported to a bus where they will go to the next stage.  A woman grabbed Thomas and said that they are being saved from the Flare, a large disease that will kill humanity and human kind.  They are here to see who is the smartest, and who can stop the disease.  The bus reached a building where the Gladers were sent and locked in.  The bunker had bunks and a small area for relaxing.  While everyone was asleep Thomas decided to go out by entering the codes into the computer and go out into the world where the flare took place.  Thomas saw a storm in the distance and knew that if he invented a blower that would input carbon dioxide and nitrogen into the air, the storm would rise and disappear.  Thomas ran back into the bunker where there was another computer on the other side.  He needed materials and that was what he got.  After the codes he entered a huge area that was similar to the Glade, but only there was many things on the walls and in the field.  Thomas got the Gladers up and they went to work.  The machine was now complete.  With the storm approaching, they blew the new particles into the air, and the storm disappeared.  The bus came back and Thomas was greeted by the creators.  The creators were political officials and gave Thomas the role of the leader, making Thomas the ultimate person the the society.
