Athaliah (CanadaNaomi)

Well, my job here is done.

I went closer to Milarite, who laid down the floor.

"Floors are dirty, y'know," I reminded her.

"My hatred for Ghasts, is unjust," her dry, raspy voice said while breathing heavily. Yep, she usually rhymes... and barely talks, for that matter.

I gave her a hand, literally, to help her stand up. She nodded, as if to say "thank you".

"Hey, you did good out there, buddy," I encouraged her. She nodded, again.

"Team Olympus and Projects Adamantine, Jet Weapon, and Phoenix, please come into the office immediately." A male with a British accent announced.

I registered the fact that Sir Blaise summoned us to his office.

I held my sword and bow and turned at the elevator. I never let my guard down. You never know when Endermen or S.W.A.T. teams destroy us.

"I wonder what Sir Blaise wants this time..." I muttered.

Milarite and I walked over to the elevator along with six other people. The gray colors of the elevator walls surrounded us as elevator music greeted our ears.

Elevator music, this again?

We knew that the office, as well as other important rooms, are in the deepest level of the base, so we waited as the elevator went down.

After a few minutes or so, the elevator finally opened, revealing a hallway that leads to Sir Blaise's office.

A girl with some sort of blue hair with bangs knocked on the door.

A second later, we heard him say, "Come in!"

The girl took that as a cue to open the dark oak door.

We entered the fancy office, with Milarite on the last as she triple checks everything. Milarite is pretty weird, but in good ways, too...

There were two couches that can fit two people in it. We raced, and I managed to get a seat beside the blue-haired girl with some sort of icy daggers.

A man with a British coat and Milarite sat on the other.

"Ugh! Ray, could you please let me sit for once?!" Another girl with a vest complained.

"Would you please stop whining for once?!" The guy named Ray retorted.

Blaise coughed, "Manners, please."

They went silent. Good.

"I have summoned you here to praise you for your actions and zero casualties and..." Blaise continued, turning to me as he said, "heroism."

Everyone looked at me as if I was a celebrity. I gave them a glare that says 'don't-look-at-me-dum-dums'.

All eyes shifted back to Blaise.

"In recognition to all of your efforts, you three..." He pointed to Milarite and me with some other guy, "will be part of Team Olympus."

"What's up with the teams?" I spoke. He then explained it to us.

"Ooh... Nice..." I commented.

"Anyways, the main reason why I called you here is that... I'd like to ask some questions..."

"What would that question be?" The girl with a vest said.

"Do you think that the attacks earlier, was intentional...?"

We stopped in thought. I honestly think that was intentional. I mean, yeah sure, Nether portal breaches happen every once in a while, but never in history that Nether mobs attack the base on a large-scale basis. Which gives me the impression of it being... planned.

"I do think it was intentional. No portal breaches are something like this. The attacks are way too large-scale to be a normal portal breach. It gives me a feeling that it was... planned," I spoke up fearlessly.

Because I'm fearless.

"Since when a Nether attack became intentional?" The guy without a British coat questioned.

"That's what I have been thinking, Phoenix. An attack like this was too large-scale to be a normal one. Speaking of planning..." Blaise trailed off.

"Let's just continue this in the meeting room," he ordered. "Please, come with me."

We followed him to the room. After a few twists and turns, we reached it: another dark oak door that was labeled Meeting Room: For Professionals Only.

I actually laughed mentally.

Blaise opened the door, "Um... Ladies first?"

Ray went first, even though Blaise literally said "ladies first". I mentally face-palmed. Guess he's a gay then...

Blaise face-palmed, "Stupid Ray...", as I went next.

I looked and saw it was made out of dark oak floors, a large, rectangular spruce table, oak chairs, and weird paintings and bookshelves. There's a chandelier that lit up the entire room, and a flat screen on the wall.

After everyone went into their seats, Blaise started talking, "I have brought you here to show you some information."

Ray grinned, "What kind of information? Private information?"

"Well, sort of. It's the government's classified information."

Ray kept silent. So did the rest of us.

"Our spies have managed to get their fingers on these information," he continued as he pressed a button on the remote.

It activated the flat-screen, thus revealing government papers.

"Operation Lightning

Once approved by the President and all regional governors (Central, South, North, West, and East Minecraftia governors), the operation shall be put into effect by the Projects and the Armed Forces."

They're actually using us...?

"Once approved, the Operation Lightning shall be put into effect by:

1. The Armed Forces and the Projects held by the government will begin a nationwide manhunt, killing every civillian that resist during the process.

2. Upon the commencement of Step 1, the President shall suspend the Dennerheim Constitution and all of its amendments, plus declaring a State of Emergency.

3. Once Step 2 is done, the government and the Projects that were controlled will fake a war between the two, with the Projects planting terror to civillians. The government will pretend as if they are good entities

4. With Minecraftians fearing the Projects, their minds will be unstable enough to be able to be controlled by a mind-control machine handled by the President along with higher officials.

5. When it is done, the government will activate a machine that amplifies the Projects' abilities, thus making them ready to enslave the world and put people in control of the President.

6. When all else fails, the Projects will enter an "Extermination phase" where they kill every people in sight and destroy Minecraftia."

What kind of plan is this...?

"This information shall be kept secret among the public at all times."

"Yeah, but what does the Nether attacks have to do with this?" The girl who can fly asked.

"For one, they have mind-control machines that control Minecraftians or mobs alike."

I spoke up again, "Maybe that attack was intentional because they wanted to get more Projects?!"

"But our base's coordinates are not known to the government! How are they supposed to know where to find us?!" The girl with a rod said.

"For that, I don't know how they got our coordinates, unless..."

Blaise gasped.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Unless there's a spy...!"

So, another chapter that focused on dialogue.

I'll be updating this story more often than others, but I still update my Terraria book.

But the update rate stays the same: I update irregularly. So you never know when I update unless I told you.

EDIT 2/27/17 - The book is finished! And I rarely updated Terraria. Rip. Keep reading tho

The master plan has been revealed! Who was the spy Blaise is talking about? Did I do good with Athaliah's POV (lmao self-insert)? What will they do next? Find out next time on Minecraft: Arctic Fox!

Thanks for reading! And please don't forget to vote, comment, and follow! All of those will be greatly appreciated!
