Persephone

Ray and I teleported to the rooftop. The first thing I noticed was that helicopters are flying all over the city.

"What the Nether is happening..." I asked.

"Chaos. What do you expect?" Lion replied.

I then saw a phoenix nearby fly above us and collided with a helicopter as the helicopter exploded. I didn't know phoenixes could do that...

"You guys run! We need to hide ASAP!" Athaliah screamed as her phoenix form vanquished another helicopter.

"She's right though," Ray added, "We don't know how chaotic the government can be."

"But how are we supposed to get down?" Storm asked.

"Good question," Nev jumped in.

I pondered... Maybe parkour? Nah, not everyone could do that...

Fly? We can't have people screaming "I believe I can fly" as they jump off a building.

"Athaliah!" Ray cried after her.

"Yes?" A voice from a distance echoed.

"Bring a helicopter down here!" Ray said.

The phoenix, instead of destroying a helicopter, just went inside the helicopter and flied out with the pilot in its... claws...

The phoenix then dropped the pilot.

It--she fled back towards the plummeting helicopter and managed to carry it with its claws.

Athaliah then managed to get the helicopter land on the heliport.

"That was heavy..." The phoenix muttered as it flew back up.

"C'mon, get to the CHOPPA!" Ray told everyone as we ran towards the military helicopter.

We climbed to the helicopter but then we saw that there were only about five seats available. (I don't think a helicopter has five seats, but this is Minecraft. Anything is possible)

"Okay, who can fly this thing?" Lion asked everyone.

"I can fly this," Ray announced.

"I'll be the co-pilot," Storm said.

"Then who will not be riding the helicopter? There are only five seats available," Lion said.

"I can go. I can fly anyway," Nev told us.

"So does Athaliah, and bring Persephone with you. Okay, let's go!" Lion said.

"Wait, wh--"

"Okay, let's go!" Lion told everyone.

Nev sighed as she grabbed me and started gliding through the air.

"I can't believe I actually had to carry you again," Nev muttered.

"Lion told me to. No big deal," I told her sarcastically.

"It's a shame that Ray didn't teleport with you to... wherever we are going. If you did, I'll make sure I'll ship you so hard!" Nev said.

"Don't get me started on Lion, because Neon is much better!" I retorted.

"Neon is better than anything else? What about oxygen or nitrogen or even radon?" Nev replied.

"I'm not referring to the element, genius," I said.

"At least I know the periodic table better than you, idiot," Nev retorted.

"I didn't make you recite the periodic table, you hoe," I told her.

"At least you would've tried making it obvious, kid," Nev mocked me.

I was a little offended, "Did you just made fun of my height?!" (Her height is 1.75 blocks btw)

"Yes," Nev said as she did the lenny in her face.

Okay, well now it's my turn to get revenge against the Ship Chancellor for shipping me with Ray.

"Don't get me started on Lion!"

Nev kept silent.

"AH! AHH! You're blushing! Oh my Notch! Nev has feelings! Nev has--"

"Don't me!" Nev growled.

"Yes, you."

Nev suddenly let go of me.

"Wait, I did not ask for this!" I suddenly screamed as I fell.

Nev suddenly catched me before I hit land.

"Psych," Nev winked.

"Nev! Help me out here!" Athaliah screamed.

Something's going wrong...

Jayden/Jay (GamingWithJay)

"Ray, you pressed the wrong button!" Storm yelled.

"I didn't know that activates the missiles!" Ray countered in defense.

I knew that didn't help; what am I supposed to do here? Listen to their arguments?

"Screw it! Focus on the air!" Storm told him as Ray focused back to the air.

Ray asked, "I wonder what does this red button do?"

"Dumb ways to die..." Storm replied.

"Seriously, that's gonna activate self-destruct."

"Oh," Ray said as he put his hands away from the red button.

I mentally face-palmed. I gotta get used to this idiot...

Yep, this is Team Olympus, everybody...

"Ray, watch out!" Storm exclaimed as she put her hands on the stirring wheel.

It was a missile.

Good thing the helicopter dodged it in time.

"Focus, Ray!" Storm reminded him.

"How am I supposed to focus if you were making puns?!"

"Puns of what?!" Storm asked.

"Nevermind... Just get on with it!"

"Guys! Someone has to replace me with defending this chopper! My phoenix powers are running out!" Athaliah said.

Before I could even say anything, Milarite stood up, as if she will replace Athaliah as defense.

Milarite went near Ray then pointed at a quartz building nearby.

"What? Crash the helicopter on the building?"

Milarite face-palmed.

"I think she's saying that we go near the quartz building," Storm translated for him. Milarite nodded.

"Here goes nothing..." Ray sighed as he steered the helicopter towards the quartz building.

Milarite stood at the entryway of the helicopter as she lifted her hands sidewards and closed her eyes.

I had an impression that she's going to manipulate something.

"Ray, WATCH OUT!"

I looked at the left side and saw a missile heading towards us.

We thought we were dead...

But I saw a phoenix for a split second then, I heard a loud, deafening boom that made us cover our ears and take cover.

From the explosion, we saw a phoenix limping as it was knocked back into the helicopter, smoke burning its feathers even though the phoenix is literally made of fire.

The phoenix turned back to normal.

It revealed Athaliah having ashes and black spots on her clothes and skin. She looked red from the explosion, and injuries dot her skin.

I therefore conclude that she suffered burns...

"Oh my Notch!" Lion exclaimed.

"Ray, treat her like you treated Persephone! I'll take over from here!" Storm commanded.

Ray crouched near Athaliah's aid. He bent over her, examined her injuries.

"She suffered burns. First-degree burns, third-degree burns. They're everywhere," Ray explained, "and unfortunately, I don't have the right apparatus to treat your burns... We have to get you to a hospital..."

"Or traditional doctors. They use some sort of ritual here in East Minecraftia to treat injuries..." Lion added.

"Or that."

"But we can't use public and some private hospitals in Heijokyo. We are not allowed to use it. All Projects are forbidden of use of any public structures," Storm said while circulating around the quartz building.

"So does this mean she's gonna die?" Lion asked.

"I really hope not..." Ray answered.

Narrator

Nev glided, carrying Persephone on her arms. They flew towards the army helicopters that threaten to destroy the helicopter.

As Nev flew near the chopper, a helicopter approached them and shot a missile that headed straight to the team's chopper.

"Ray, WATCH OUT!" They heard a feminine voice in the helicopter scream.

Suddenly, Athaliah flew from below and took the bullet for the team.

"ATHALIAH!" Persephone cried.

Persephone groaned as quartz blocks from a building got manipulated and shattered the helicopter.

"...what the Nether...?" Nev muttered as she saw the blocks move and fly by itself. She asked herself who is manipulating the quartz blocks.

"Nev, fly me at a very high altitude!" Persephone screamed, her grief clearly in her voice.

"Are you crazy like Ray?!" Nev yelled.

"Just do it!" Persephone answered.

Nev sighed as she flew at a very high altitude, at coordinates of Y=234.

"Now drop me!" Persephone told Nev.

"...wait, what?!" Nev hesitated.

Persephone then forced Nev to drop her by knocking her stomach by her elbow.

"How rude!" Nev screamed as Persephone plummeted into the ground as gravity pulled her down.

She lifted her hands sidewards, like a skydiver, as air resistance created friction with her body.

She closed her eyes, concentrating on something.

She felt herself stop in mid-air, not even knowing that quartz blocks are flying all around her that was controlled by Milarite.

Then, she opened her eyes, and the dark skies above her got cloudy.

The clouds then turned dark, then formed some sort of precipitation.

Only that it wasn't water... it was ice...

Persephone made some movement with her hands, but along her movement followed ice.

She snapped her fingers, and the ice rushed past her, along with Milarite's quartz blocks.

The ice formed a blockade and it flooded Heijokyo's atmosphere.

The ice and quartz shattered any approaching enemy helicopters.

* * * * *

Back at the helicopter, as Ray tried to do procedures of first aid to Athaliah with Lion and Jay helping him.

Storm was flying the helicopter and Milarite was fending off the enemies using her manipulation of quartz.

Suddenly, the surroundings got flooded with tons of ice from the sky.

Milarite and Storm wondered where did the ice come from.

The ice and quartz destroyed the army helicopters and missiles approaching, while clearing the route for the helicopter.

Storm widened her eyes as she gladly steered the helicopter over the route that has been protected by ice and quartz.

* * * * *

Nev watched the ice rampage below with her eyes in amazement. She wondered if this was Persephone's doing.

But the problem she considered is that were will the go? Where will they go for help and aid?

Suddenly, a Chinese man in a kimono appeared in an Indian-sit position while floating as he rose through the ice and quartz.

Then suddenly, all the ice and quartz faded to dust as it cleared Heijokyo's skyline, minus the helicopters (except Team Olympus' chopper)

"No need for something really chaotic..." The man said.

Nev's jaw dropped. The first question that appeared in her mind was...

Who is this guy? And is he a friend, or a foe?
