[A/N: sorry about the late upload, school starts today and I just woke up. My login decided to be an idiot and not work so I spent ten minutes last night figuring that out. But uh, hope you enjoy!]

?'s POV

I had to get her out of there. It had been a week since she had been dragged in and I had caught wind that they had even more plans for her. She was already in very poor shape...I got the feeling she couldn't take much more of it. Tonight I would make my move...

"Estalin!" I call for my most trusted companion, a teen named Estalin who had some fire magic. The girl comes running up, her short copper-red hair in its usual state of relative unkemptness.

"Yes?" She asks.

"Gather a team of your best, you're leading a mission to remove her from that facility," I tell her. She nods, then dashes off again to carry out her directions. I turn back to the facility, wishing I could just barge in there and rescue her myself... I shake my head. That would only worsen the situation. Notch was counting on me, and I couldn't let him down. Not with the fate of Minecraftia on the line.

Estalin's POV

I ended my briefing to my team on our mission and waited for any questions that may come up. Monica, a tall girl with black hair and brown eyes, started the questions.

"From what I saw, all entrances are guarded. How would we get through?" She asked.

"We'd put good use to Cameron's sniping skills. He has weakness and slowness tipped arrows, that leads in essentially a useless guard if they hit their mark." I respond. I look around the table as an invitation for other questions.

"Why is this girl so important?" Cameron, our sniper, asks.

"I'm not sure, and I'm not at a level to be trusted with such confidential information."

I answered a few more questions and then we all split up to prepare for our roles later that night.

~Time skip~

Cameron, Monica, and two boys named Seth and Keith were waiting for the guard to change outside the facility door. I made sure Cameron and Keith were ready up in their tree perches, while me, Monica, and Seth waited. It was midnight, and we were safely in the cover of the shadows. I watched the doors as the sleepy guards started to doze off. 'If we do it early the world won't end...it's still about the middle of these guys' shift,' I think. I signaled to the snipers in the trees to dispatch the guards, and in the span of less than five minutes, we were in. Now for the hard part - finding the girl.

Girly's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to a slight noise outside in the hall. Now alert, I listened to see if anything else could be heard. Soon enough, I heard footsteps approaching the cell door. I was in high alert in case it was the guards, but when the footsteps stopped, I didn't hear the keys that usually meant it was a guard. However, the door did click open, revealing a girl I didn't recognize holding a paperclip.

She had short red hair and her clothes were all black, including a pair of boots. A small ball of fire appeared in her hand, and it seemed to move of its own accord as it melted the chains holding me to the wall.

"Come with me," the girl said, and I decided not to question it since she had just shown me she could summon a ball of fire hot enough to melt iron in a matter of seconds. I followed the mystery girl through the facility until we were out, two unconscious guards slumped by the entry. I was free.
