Milarite (bluedragoncalcite) (finally lmao)

"Yes! We're here!" Lion exclaimed. I mentally face-palmed. All I saw was a pond.

"It's just the outskirts," Storm pointed out, and I couldn't help but pout.

Later, Persephone and a phoenix landed. I just smiled, although it's mild. The phoenix turned to normal, and revealed Athaliah in her glory.

"Is this where we were supposed to go?" Persephone asked as Nev and Jay passed.

"I don't actually see anything," Lion commented. I just sat down. There's nothing but a town. And I can't help but frown.

"Wait, what's that over there?"

I turned and thought I saw bears. But it's all just layers (of rocks).

I noticed a rock that's oddly-shaped. But I walked, hoping to see something talk.

My expectations went down as I frowned.

I touched the stone, and it revealed a hole.

I gestured them to go, which they immediately did. I looked around for a possible fight, and I saw nothing in my sight.

I hesitated to jump, so I checked to see if something bumped. Nothing, so my heart pumped. It was my habit to check if there's a Trump. But it's a habit I couldn't stop, so I couldn't help but jump.

My jaw dropped and my eyes popped. I saw the best of architecture, and it didn't feel like it was torture.

The hallway was futuristic, but I'd prefer something Gothic.

"What is this place...?" Nev asked rhetorically as I wished this would be my base hopefully.

The hallway was made of quartz, which didn't remind me of farts. It was also made of cyan-stained clay, which is for something I would actually pay.

This place looked nice, but hopefully it's okay for us mice.

"What are you waiting for? C'mon let's go!" Jay whisper-shouted. I shut my mouth and went on the path.

I looked down while walking. I look at uniformity, and instead the group formed unity.

I walked next to Athaliah, my only close friend, as we neared the hallway's end.

"Wait, that's it?" Nev complained. I just tried to look plain.

"A dead end?" Ray added as I felt tingling senses.

I thought I heard the quartz talking to me, so I just listened if the blocks has memes.

Yes, I can trace the block data of blocks and rocks.

It was telling me that there was a button, so I looked for something that doesn't look like mutton.

I felt something on my palms, so I didn't cram and pressed and BAM!

The door opened with no hesitation, as it did its self-division.

It revealed a huge room, which I hope it won't lead us to our doom.

"Thanks Milarite!" Nev thanked me for real. Psh, it was no big deal.

"Good job," Athaliah praised me. And I really felt that sense of wanting to dab.

* * * * *

Persephone

I walked and looked around. This room is dang huge!

My jaw dropped as there were two guards that was preventing us from entering.

"Welc-- wait, how did you enter?! This is a restricted area, available only to its personnel and its captives!" One of the guards yelled.

"Uh oh," Ray muttered.

I actually couldn't think of a good excuse...

Suddenly, sirens blared. Oh my Notch... this again?

The guards raised their weapons, and so did my katana.

But I didn't have to kill them. Because two quartz blocks knocked them out-cold.... wait, quartz blocks?!

I looked at Jay, "No, it wasn't me!"

"Not me either," Storm told us.

"Ray, don't blame me for Notch's sake. I swear I didn't!" Nev said.

"I don't have the power to manipulate blocks, so that's a no," Ray replied.

"Same," Lion agreed.

Athaliah glared at me, then said, "No, I didn't!"

I sighed, "It wasn't me either."

"So who did?" Nev asked. I looked at Milarite.

"Nevermind! Just get the freaking mission done!" Nev ordered as she rushed to find the prisoners.

At this point, more guards came into view.

This is getting repetitive...

I just threw my ice daggers straight to their chests as we dashed past them.

I charged straight to the wide room filled with floating pathways and bustling with the prison personnel.

We ignored them as we ran inside the maze of pathways where we could easily get lost.

We shot down more guards as we rushed, causing chaos wherever we went.

After a few minutes of running around, we finally found the area where the Projects are held captive.

It was nearly as huge as the other room, but this time filled with glass pods that contained Projects.

We freed the Projects one by one, and they immediately run. Normally, I wouldn't do this, but now that I know what the government's intentions are, so be it!

I looked back and saw that the guards are trying to hold back the struggling Projects.

"Warning: Perlough Project Facility is currently under Code Red. Any threats including prisoners and Projects will be exterminated immediately."

Great, now we're dead.

I heard screaming and yelling as the guards kill them.

We freed the last Project as we tried to find a way to escape.

I looked up and saw a vent.

I climbed up the vent and gestured them to get in, "Come on!"

"I'll hold them off!" Lion declared as he whipped out his bow and readied some arrows.

Jay went next, then so did Ray. Athaliah followed, then soon Storm. Milarite and Nev later climbed up the vent.

As I hurriedly crawled by, my sweat due to hotness and exhaustion trickled out of my skin.

"Warning: All ventilation will be sealed in T-minus 10!"

Oh boy...

"9"

I started to crawl faster.

"8"

I saw the exit of the vent, still intact.

"7"

I crawled faster and got out. I managed to stand up.

"6"

I saw Jay crawl out of the vent.

"5"

Ray got out as more guards appeared behind me.

"4"

I threw my ice daggers at the guards as Athaliah went out of the vent.

"3"

Storm got out as well. I helped her get out.

"2"

Milarite later came. But the downside was that she was having trouble getting out.

"1"

My heart pumped as I pulled Milarite out.

"Sealing..."

"NOOO!" Nev's muffled voice called out of the vent.

"Nev!" Ray called after her.

"No time to lose! Let's go!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry, Nev..." I mouthed out as we ran away from the vent.

We ran away, my heart aching to go back and save her.

I felt regret as we ran further away. It's just... I couldn't leave her out there...!

I then made my decision.

Nonetheless, I ran back.

-=-<|>-=-

Yay for updates.

Btw, did you notice in Milarite's POV that almost everything rhymed? I don't know if I did it right.

Dagger, did I do it right or nah?

Anyway

Do I have something important to say...

SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!

And I'm serious. It would be not so fun if I did the story all along. It doesn't hurt to send suggestions ;)

Oh yeah!

Btw, I'm gonna change the description of the story cuz things are far more different than it was originally planned. And to cope with it, I have to change the desc.

And btw, here is a drawing of Nev*

Sorry if it's a blur. I blame the camera for that lmao

*credits to Choco for the drawing

Anyway

Will they survive the might of the government? Will Nev be able to escape? And will Lion survive? Find out next time on Minecraft: Arctic Fox!
