The Disappearance of Kiku Honda

A/N: Alrighty! Let's start this off by saying that I am just continuing someone else's story! UnifiedNations put it up for grabs, and let me be in charge of it. There might be a few things changed, so that I can put my own feel to it, but otherwise it really is just so that the people that were reading it can get past the cliffhanger it was left as.

Chapter 1:
"QUIEEEEEET!" Germany roared, causing everyone in the large meeting to stop their squabbling and look up. England let go of France's throat, letting the Frenchman suck in a breath, and Russia stopped kolkolkol-ing at America to glance at the German.
"Everyvhone here has a problem on their hands, ja? So let's do somzing about it! Global vharming isn't going to just sit back and wait vhor us! So, does anyvhone have any suggestions about it? Any plan zhat zhey tink will help at all?" Germany asked loudly.
America's hand shot up and he spoke without waiting for the German to call on him. "Yeah, dude, totally! You see, we just have to get this huge superhero dude to protect the world and stuff! He'll have to have global-warming-killing lasers, and he'll just shoot them at the sun and stuff, and we'll be totally okay!" America laughed easily, totally unaffected by the German's sour face.
"Nein, Amerikan, zhere is no vhay vhe are getting a superhero. Zhat is stupid."
"Da, I agree wid Germany. He makes good poind. Where would we even get such superhero, da? Poor, stupid Amerikan." Russia giggled.
"You fat commie! I thought we were friends now, dude! What the hell, man!" Suddenly, chaos was once again rampant in the world meeting, America and Russia heading it all.
"SILEEEENCE!" Germany yelled again, blushing a bit from the exertion. "You are all like children! Just get vhone goot idea, and you can be as spahstik as you want!"
"Why dohn't we azk Japan, hon hon hon?" France questioned, winking, "He iz uzually good at zhis kind of zhing."
Everyone looked to the Asian in question, confused when it seemed like Japan wasn't even paying attention. He was looking out the window, a blank expression plastered across his face.
"J-Japan? Vhat is wrong, Japan?" Germany asked, worried a bit. Japan had always participated in meetings. Was he catching a cold? Or was something else horribly wrong?
Italy scootched his chair closer to the Japanese man. "Ve~! Japa-aaaan~! Ah, are you listening, Japan~?" Italy asked.
But still, Japan didn't move. It was almost as if he was transfixed by something outside. Looking out, the other nations couldn't notice anything out of place. What could have Japan acting this way?
"Error has been found. File 30098 has been corrupted." Japan muttered robotically.
"Ve~?" Italy cocked his head, not understanding.
"Terminating File 30098. Error has been found. File 30099 has been corrupted. Error has been found. File 30100 has been corrupted. Error has been found. Error has been found. Error has been found. Searching Files. Virus has been located. Terminating corrupted files. Error has been found. File 1078 has been corrupted." Japan was acting very strange, indeed. While the other nations could only look on in shock, Japan was slowly disintegrading, starting at his booted feet. "Terminating all corrupted Files. Error. No Files have been found. Terminating all activity. Error, virus has been located. Terminating virus... Virus termination has failed. Running back-up software. Error. No Files have been found. Permanently terminating program... Termination complete."
Japan's disjointed pixels disappeared, leaving only the empty space he had been sitting in. Everyone stood in horrified silence (except for Russia, he was humming Fleur), unable to process what had just happened.
"Where the bloody hell did he just go? What just bloody happened in here?" England swore, taking a few steps back from the chair Japan had once occupied.
"Vhat...? Zhis cannot be. Japan is not gone... Nein. Somzing must have happened..." Germany whispered, catching Italy instinctively when he ran to Germany's arms.
"Ve! Germany! Save me, Germany, it's a scary ghost! You have to save Japan! He is our friend!" The Italian yelped.
"That... was... SO COOL, DUDE!" America yelled, pumping his fist.
England jumped. "Ack! What the bloody hell are you talking about, you wanker! Japan just disappeared! That's not a bloody good thing!"
"What are you talking about, dude?" America laughed, "Isn't it obvious! Japan made a robot that looked like him! Ah, man, you should all see your faces, he really got you good! Can't fool the hero, though! I wasn't worried at all! Ah ha ha ha ha!"
"Wh-What are you zaying, America? Zhat zhiz iz all zome prank made by Japan? Were you in on it...? Well, zhat iz a relief!" France smiled. "Enough of zhe zilliness, oui? We should get back to zhe problem at hahnd." The tension in the room relaxed a bit and people started to head back to their seats.
"Huh? Nah, I didn't know. He didn't tell me, but it's so obvious, dude! Any moment, Japan's gonna come in here like 'You all are such suckers, dude!', ya know, and you all can't even say anything to that, dude! I can, because I'm the hero. I knew from the moment the robot started acting wierd. I just didn't tell you all, because then Japan's prank would be ruined!" America grinned, showing off, even though hardly anyone was paying attention anymore.
"... No, aru. That is not it." China said sadly.
Everyone looked toward the small Chinese man as he stared at the vacant chair.
"Vhat do you mean, China? Vhat has happened to Japan then?" Germany asked, worried once again. Why is China so sad? What does he know?
"It's... complicated, aru. But this is no prank, aru... This is the real thing, aru."
"Th-Then where is he, you wanker! You know more than you're telling us!" England stood up again, having been one of the first ones to sit down once he thought Japan was alright.
"That's... difficult to say, aru... I'm not really sure, aru..." China muttered, looking away. "For now, you should check his house, aru."
Germany bent down to look China in the eye. "Vhill it help us find him?" He asked softly. China nodded grimly. Germany stared at the smaller man until he came to a decision.
"Right, then. Vhe vhill split up. China, England, Russland, America, and myselvh vhill go to Japan's home. The rest of you should stay here and conduct the meeting PROPERLY. If not, zhen Italy vhill tell me and I vhill get very angry. Agreed?"
Everyone else nodded, and those specified got up from their chairs to follow Germany. Italy, however, hugged Germany tightly. "Ve~! Germany, bring back Japan safe, yeah~? You're my bestest friend, so I know you can do it~!"
Germany's eyes widened and he blushed a bit at being called a friend. "J-Ja. I vhill bring him back."
"Ve~! I believe you, Germany~! Good luck~! I'll make us all pasta when you come back with Japan~!"
Germany nodded, and with his search party behind him, left the meeting room to begin the journey to Japan's home.
