Narrator

Blaise Burnington sat in his black computer chair in front of his desk. He swiveled around, his face looked gloomy.

Then he heard a knock on his door.

"Go away! Can't you see I'm busy?!" Blaise called the knocker away.

Then his phone on his desk vibrated, the ringtone echoing inside his room.

He sighed, groaned, and picked up his phone. Groaning, he clicked "Reject Call".

Blaise swiveled in front of his desk and rubbed his head. Looking up, he stared at his phone.

"21 unread messages"

He reluctantly opened his messages, and read a text message.

"Urgent message:

Sir Blaise, the surviving Projects of East Minecraftian branch failed to capture Team Olympus due to the Armed Forces of Minecraftia annihilating them."

"Armed Forces... killing the government- my Projects? How is this possible?!" Blaise muttered as he continued reading.

"According to our latest reports, they were killed off by East Minecraftian Armed Forces. They also bombed the East Minecraftian branch of your base."

He cursed under his breath.

"Our latest intel says that the Team last headed to a train en route to Bergenheim."

He groaned, and replied to the text message:

"That's it. I'm going to Bergenheim."

Persephone

"H-hi," I hesitantly said.

I could only watch Ms. Uchiha stare at us.

"Actually, Persephone," she began, as if she's actually reading my mind right now, "My name isn't Uchiha."

"What?"

"My name is actually Rana Hidewa," she stated.

I nodded. However, I barely saw that the Team just stood as straight as a rod, their faces looking straight.

"That aside, I am here, because I finally regained my guts to stand up against the President."

Her eyes wandered around to each of us.

"I know that some of you don't believe me, but I sent the Army to kill off... is it Sir Blaise's forces?"

"How'd you-" Newton started.

"And the fact that Sir Blaise only used you... Annoying, right?"

I clenched my fists in response.

"Sir Blaise is actually a part of Operation Lightning. He helped the government take control to become a fascist one."

"A fascist one?" Newton repeated.

"Fascist. As in one man dictatorship," Caden explained.

"What he said," I added. "The President is currently plotting of ways to turn this country to his personal slave."

"That's true," the Director said. "In fact, he's one step away to actually making that come true."

"How'd you know all of this?" Athaliah asked.

"Two reasons. Because I could read minds, and because I have access to the government system since I'm a Director."

"Well, can you tell what Ray is thinking right now?" Nev requested.

The Director stood there for a moment, before she said, "He's thinking about how much he loves Persephone."

My cheeks went slightly hot and red when she said that.

"What?!" Ray exclaimed as the rest of us laughed.

"Birch, get exposed!" Nev commented. Ray just sighed.

"That aside, I am here because I need your help," Ms. Uch- Hidewa, continued.

We stood there, silent.

"I think most of you don't even want to help me, but I can assure you, I'm no threat."

"Yeah? Tell that to your men who nearly killed me," Jay interrupted.

"I'm pretty sure they did not intend that."

"Whatever."

"Do you really want Sir Blaise to capture you? Do you really think I would let this country's fascist President get his hands on you? Believe it or not, I stand for what's right."

"I refuse to believe," Athaliah commented.

Rolling her eyes, the Director continued, "But I really need your help. I kinda seceded away from the President, and I'm pretty sure that he's purging me back at Shenzen right now."

"You expect us to protect you?" Lion added.

"No. I have my own men to protect me," she answered. "However, we can't just let the President do what he wants without question or competition."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"We can't let him keep abducting children, killing people, and terrorize the innocent forever. Someone has to stand up for the entirety of Minecraftia..." she spoke, "And that someone, should be you people."

"Us?" I repeated as Newton asked, "How will we know if your intentions are clean?"

Her eyes gazed upon Newton's, then explained, "If my intentions weren't clean, I could've killed you right now."

Newton slowly backed away.

"What do you mean by standing up for Minecraftia?" Lion told her.

"By teaching the President a lesson that everyone should know."

"How?" I asked.

"This is what I've been asking help for; I need help from you guys to overthrow the President."

Overthrowing the President... That's really big...

"But how? We don't even have access to airports or train stations to go to Bergenheim," Lion complained.

"That's where you're wrong. In fact, this train is already going to Bergenheim."

"Okay, now that the route for Bergenheim is clear, here's a question," Nev said.

"Yes?"

"Why must we overthrow the President?"

"Because we don't want him throwing this country to a total pile of trash. He converted this country into a total anarchy. He killed your families since 20 years ago. We don't want him killing more. After all, your mission is to not let others experience what you have experienced."

Everyone kept silent, not due to the fact about she's true, but about their families.

"If it is right for Minecraftia's unity, I too shall fight for prosperity," Milarite answered.

"That's exactly the point, everyone," she commented.

"I see what you did there," Lion added, "I'm in."

"What Lion said," Jay commented. That meant yes.

"I don't really see a reason not to reject. I'm in," Ray answered.

"I completely don't trust this plan," Newton said, "I like it."

"I say yes for no exact reason," Nev replied.

"If my cousin said yes, I will too," Caden told her.

"I really don't have a choice, do I?" I asked rhetorically, "I'm in."

Athaliah sighed, "Fine."

"Alright, everyone agrees," the Director concluded. "But first, let's get some sleep. I reckon we'll reach Bergenheim in the morning."

"Sounds good to me," I commented.

I'm pretty sure that this is not the first time I ended a chapter with a non-cliffhanger.

Chapter 31. Probably a few chapters left till the ending.

What will happen next? Will they succeed in reaching Bergenheim? How will they initiate their plan? Will the government thwart them? Find out next time on Minecraft: Arctic Fox!
