This story is a first, so it wouldn't be surprising to see you all hating me already. Anyway, please try to give this a chance.

"Well fuck me…" a young man said as he stared blinkingly.

He's a man no older than twenty years of age. Adorned with a mess of black scruffy hair, and a pair of exotic brown eyes. His height is slightly above average, taller than most his age. He sported a brown hoodie jacket with a red t-shirt underneath it. He also has a belt to keep his tight baggy jeans from falling, and a closer look would identify that the belt is made from leather. He is blessed with a charming look, something that the fairer gender would love to appreciate.

"This must be… a lake. A huge ass lake…" the man muttered to himself, scratching his chin. "Hm? The mist is quite thick, surely, I'm screwed all over if I'm not doing something sooner or later." He said as he walked around trying to figure out where he is. He's standing on a patch of land. Why a patch? Because it really is a patch of a couple meters long and a few meters wide. There's a tree growing on it so he's not sure if he should be happy about having shelter or not.

"Alright, if this is what I get for decking that guy in the face I'm very sorry." His statement was unanswered. "Oh come on, I didn't know that that girl is married!" shouting exasperatedly, he later sighed to calm his being down. "Alright Al, you know when mom told you not to get piss ass drunk? This would be a good time, so, don't ever think of drinking water from a lake that is surrounded by mist that could hide whatever danger it is out there." Then he sulked. "Great, talking to myself… and to think that I needed time to learn about my powers…"

Something clicked inside the man's brain. "Aha, that's it! I shall use my probably awesome power and figure out where the hell am I right now!" he sprung back to his feet, dusting his pants. He took in a deep breath, spreading his legs apart and bending them in a stance like manner. He slowly brought his arms to the air, clasping them together. "I release the power!"

…

…

…

"I release the power!"

"Power!"

"Hetalia!"

"Screw this!" he threw himself to the ground, laying on the cool grass of the small land he's on. He gazed upwards meeting nothing but a screen of white mist. "Now I know why that fucker gave off something like this off so easily." He spread apart his right hand's fingers, where at the back of his palm is a mark. The closest way to describe the mark is to say that it resembles a cross. Like the one Jesus was using back in the in black ink, nothing less, nothing more. Just a drawing of a cross given by someone he doesn't want to recall.

"Guh… if only I could see in this mist…" the cross begun to shine a white color after hearing his unintended request. He was shocked by this and got up immediately, looking intently at his hand if not nervous. "What in Sam's blueballs…" his vision was blinded by the image of white nothingness, then he regained his vision once more but this time, he's able to see through the mist with ease. "Whoah… awesome! So this is my power? The ability to ask for any power I want?" he grinned like an idiot. "Then… I wish I have the power to shoot rainbows out of my pits!"

…

Dammit, he was raising his hands too… "Aw… well, this one is useful as it is." He looked around, surveying the parts of the lake that he can now see. Actually, he's still on the same spot where he was before. There's nothing but water around him, the mist. It's morning too, the sun's up high in the sky and that's the only thing he could see even with this strange x ray thing that he has. "Merda… this is a problem."

When he said It's morning, he really meant it. But something is happening, not up there, but down, down on somewhere very private…

"Whoops! Forgot the zip the willy, hehehe…"

He'd somehow found a way out of that piece of land, but in doing so, now he's wetter than a hooker in uncle Ben's car. And the fact that he has to walk through a damp and humid forest is no helping either.

He loosened his jacket. "Ugh… this place is fucking hot… why did no one tell me it's hot? It was freezing when I was on that damned lake…" he whined. This place could be the dead of him. Out of the many things that he hate in this world, one of them would have to be the heat from the sun. He's thankful that someone up there created the giant orb of fire, but can a guy like him not get affected by the heat? It's bothering him inside and out, it's getting late too, damn. He's got a pretty useless power here. First it did nothing aside from giving him x ray vision, and second it can't do anything about this damned heat.

All sorts of creepy noises could be coming from within the forest floor and the tree tops above. He knew that those are the least of his worries right now. He's thinking about shelter and even food or water. He can't contemplate like this any longer, the forest is starting to get a lot nosier than comfort. But then, he was surprised.

"Hey Dai-chan, let me handle this fella!"

"C-Cirno-chan, we can't face this many… attacks!"

"To heck with that, Eye can do anything, cuz Eye'm the strongest!"

"Cirno-chan!"

He blinked owlishly. "Well what do you know… people are here after all." He stretched his neck to the side, emitting an audible popping sound. He did the same with his hands and fist, smiling, he went after the source of the sound. He ran fast, planning to get there in time before anything happen to the two female voices that he heard.

"Cirno-chan watch out!"

"Yah! Take this, Perfect Freeze!" the ice fairy's froze all the bullets that she had shot. The Incoming attack from the mysterious attacker was frozen by the fairy's powers, she launched a barrage of her own shot. The shots missed when she saw the figure jumping unto a tree. "Tch, take this! Diamond Blizzard!"Cirno's attack went for the attacker on the tree, but to the fairy's annoyance, the figure leapt back evading the bullets that are sent its way. Cirno dashed after the fleeing attacker, not planning to let someone who attacked her run off like that.

The male stepped out of the thorny shrub, gasping in relief. "Puwah! Made it, phew I don't think that I can last there any longer BWAH!-" he was blasted by a shard of ice making him crash to the ground. "Urk… what… the… fuck?"

"Aha, I caught you, you meanie!" a high pitched female voice shouted out. He looked up and came to face with a little girl with aqua blue hair, dressed in a deep blue outfit with a white shirt underneath her blue skirt. She has a giant grin on her, a grin that one would show when they've got something they wanted. "Dai-chan, Eye got'm Eye got'm!"

"Ack! Ah Hey! Stop I'm not who you think I am!"

The ice fairy gripped the owner of the voice's body frame, hugging him tightly to prevent him from escaping. "Dai-chan! Eye got the guy who attacked us! See?... eh?" realization soon dawned on the fairy. "Wah! It's a handsome big brother!" she jumped back, letting her grip on the downed man go.

Said man got up, rubbing his head and back in pain. He opened his eyes groggily to meet face to face with a little girl who appears no older than twelve. "Hey, what's wrong?" he questioned the girl when he saw the gleam in her blue eyes. Her face sporting an awestricken expression, and she seems rather happy. He waved his hands in front of her. "Eh, hey, kid? You okay?"

"Dai-chan, we got a handsome big brother!"

He leaned back reactively from her sudden outburst. And 'handsome big brother?' he had more people calling him better things instead of big brother. "Uh, yeah, you see… I came here when I heard you screaming? And who is Dai-chan?" he asked.

"Uh… Cirno-chan, don't wander off like that… eh, who's that?" the green haired fairy asked as she appears.

Instead of receiving an answer, she had Cirno beaming at her face. "Dai-chan, Dai-chan! Look, we have a really handsome big brother here! You know what that means right?"

"What?" that came from both the other fairy and the 'big brother' himself. The man had a seriously confused expression on his face, not really getting what's going on here. And he can tell that the other girl is also having similar thoughts as him. "Whoah, hold on kids… or fairies, I suppose…" the wings on their back at least proves that much. "Can you tell me what happened first, like when I heard the two of you shouting?"

"Ah! Oh, um… there wa-" Dai-chan was cut off by Cirno.

"There was this fella you tried to shoot us, Eye teached him a couple of lessons and the guy ran away!" Cirno boasted with a smug look on her face. She dismissed her thoughts, asking the man. "Anyway, you're a handsome big brother right?"

Now he's feeling uneasy. "Uh… well, it's hard to say if I'm handsome or not. But if you think that I am handsome, then I guess I am." Now he's getting a major ego boost, which is really shameful considering that the one who said it looks like a twelve year old little girl. He saw her rocketing to the air, screaming a huge 'alright' before landing down again.

The ice fairy launched herself at the man, looking straight at his eyes. "Then you must be strong! I read it in those books, handsome big brothers are strong! They can use awesome powers, they beat the bad guys and, and they get the girl!" she expressed cheerfully.

"Uh, okay… what kind of book are you reading?" he asked the ice fairy who backed away from him. She pulled out something from her pocket, a rather large pocket. His eyes rose significantly, seeing something familiar. "This is…"

"Yup! This book shows that handsome big brothers are cool and awesome!" she threw her arms up in the air. "And I get to see one here, this is the bestest day ever!" she laughed to herself, feeling incredibly happy in her life.

While Cirno is having her alone time enjoying her not so major accomplishment, he took the so called book. He saw the picture in the cover page and only to figure out that it's a manga, it comes from Japan if he's not mistaken. He read a few of these, but only few of those that he had read contained a story that he liked. Most tends to have a cliché plot or even twist. He looked at the other fairy, questioning her with a look.

The green haired fairy answered him with a sheepish smile. "Ah, how rude of us." She bowed her head, similar to a standard eastern greeting. "My name is Daiyousei, a fairy of the misty lake." She then gestured towards the aqua haired fairy with the ice wings. "That is Cirno-chan, she's an ice fairy and also lives near the misty lake. Thank you for your effort on trying to rescue us… eh, b-big brother…" she blushed.

He grinned, spreading his arms out. "Welp, that's a fine little missy. Big brothers always look out after their youngers, right?" he asked, still having that large grin on his face. He felt a pair of arms wrapping him from the back of his neck.

"That's right! The big brother in the book is also like that, he'd protect his little sister and loves her very much!" she then made a thinking expression. "Then, does that makes us your little sisters? And you love us?!" she asked excitedly.

Dai-chan made a troubled expression, blushing madly while at that. "C-C-Cirno-chan! Wha- he just met us, he can't be-" but a palm on top of her head made her stop stumbling on her words. She looked up to see the man's face and smile. Her cheeks heated up more than before.

"Hey, love doesn't have to be the same as the 'love' that a coupe would use. A big brother loves his sister right? That doesn't make them a couple." He patted her head. "You love Cirno too, right? Then it's fine!" he spreads apart his hand sideways.

"I-I see… then, I guess it's fine…" Dai-chan said out lowly, hiding her embarrassed face.

He grinned wider, remembering a certain memory on his head. It's about a girl as tall as the green haired fairy, but she has a long black hair and brown eyes. Dressed only in a simple clothing, maybe even lower than simple. Her dress all burnt and ugly… but her face makes up for that. He sighed, smiling softer than before.

"Then, 'little sisters', I am Al, you may call me big brother." He placed a hand on his chest.

Of course, he's not really their big brother… he's playing as their big brother. Three days passed with such speed, ending his time with his two so called sisters. It's fun playing with those who acted younger than him, because he knew that this might be the last time… after all, he had his first chance and now he's not going to fuck his second one. He's now resuming his journey, walking out of the forest but only to wander into another forest.

Unlike before, this forest is more uncomfortable. Where the heat bothers him the previous forest, it's the energy that is radiating from this forest that bothers him. He's sensing all kinds of movements from the forest floor, the trees, the bushes and even the ground below. The cross on the back of his palm grew white, something that he noticed. A bitter expression crossed his face, he's clearly not liking what'll come up later on.

"Al~"

Al turned around, hearing the voice of a little girl. Seeing nothing, he turned back again, continuing on his path.

"Al~"

He ignores the voice that is slowly calling out to him. The cross is glowing repeatedly unknown to him, sensing something. He needs to escape from this forest fast, it's driving him mad.

"Alihoo~"

"Okay. Whoever you are, get out." He glared at the space behind him. As expected, no one is there and the voice is gone. He paused for a couple of seconds, making sure if he's not tripping.

"Creepy ass forest…" he muttered under his breath.

"Well, it's the forest of magic after all."

Max turned around to where he's hearing a female voice, he spots a short and petite girl.

"Who is she…" he thought to himself.

The girl appeared out of thin air, appearing in a dust of gold. She's wearing a large black hat with a yellow ribbon. Her apparel consists of a yellow shirt with diamond-like blue buttons and dark green collar. The skirt is also green with a faint flowery pattern, but a lot lighter. Her hair's a wavy grey color, with emerald green eyes. She has another thing, and said thing looked like another 'eye'. It's colored a dark purple color, positioned over her heart and has cords attaching it the girl. She also has a pretty smile.

"Cute…" he can't help but thought.

She smiled even more. The girl is simply standing there, looking at him with eyes that show interest and curiosity. "I am seeing things from you, boy-san. Bad things." She said cheerfully. Suddenly, she disappears. That caused him to go on full alert. His hands slightly raised to prepare himself in case if this girl is trying anything. The girl reappeared again, this time behind him. He reacted by doing a roundhouse kick but it didn't connect. The girl simply stood again on the opposite direction with her same smile. "I am Koishi Komeiji. Please to meet you."

Al jumped back. "I'm Al and screw you troia." He dodged barrages of incoming bullets aimed at him. Some managed to hit him but they did only some minor damages. Not too serious, but his jacket is paying for the price. Koishi launched yet another barrage of colorful projectiles at him, but the man is dodging them skillfully for them to be hitting him.

"What the hell is this shit? This ain't hurt…" Al asked.

"Oh trust me, I'm not trying to hurt you." That's what she said, but the bullet projectile keeps on coming.

Koishi aimed a human sized bullet at Al. without thinking, Al swung his fist at the bullet. When his fist connects, the orb exploded. Another orb was launched at the man, this time, it's large. Al was still recovering from the shock he's getting at so he didn't have the time to dodge the incoming attack, it exploded similar to the one before. More orbs are shot towards him, exploding over and over again. Al fell to the ground, panting hard with his jacket torn to shreds. Blue rose patterned orbs materialized before him, he can see Koishi smiling behind them.

"Ah, so handsome but weak… I wonder, but what is this that I'm sensing from you… It's got to be dangerous, no? After all, this happens when I came close to you." She showed him her neck, where a design of thorns circling the circumference of her neck. "Hehehe… boy-san, what is this? And why am I strangely shaking when the fact that you are losing?" indeed she is. She's shaking, her knees are shaking. It's like she's terrified about something but her expression is different.

Al, after getting his bearings up, got back to his feet. The energy that Koishi sensed from him is growing even stronger than before, it's doubling, no tripling. This can get dangerous, but Koishis is more focused on trying to find out why she's like this. This is after all an interesting thing to do, interesting and dangerous.

"Ah, so you're going to answer me with your brutish side. Very well, I'll gladly accept." Koishi giggled.

Al shook his head then said. "Look. I am not planning on causing disputes with people. Now, can you tell me why are you attacking me?" Al gave Koishi a glare.

Koishi smiled, causing an orb to launch itself at the man. Al had enough of this, he clenched his fist where the mark is, then white armor plating covered his hands. It extends shaping the form of a gauntlet, he used his covered hand to swat away the incoming barrage as if it was a fly. Glaring even harder at Koishi, he crossed his arms. "Attack me again and I'll ask you with my fist." Instead of a reply, he got more orbs coming at him. He warned her.

Extending his covered arm, he shot out white energy in a form of crucifix. The incoming projectiles are fast, it hit the incoming attack from Koishi, making it explode before it can reach him. Koishi acts fast, she launched the remaining four orbs, planning to defeat him. Al did not take kindly to the fact that this girl is toying with him. He clenched his armored hand, letting a white aura covering it. With a cry, he released the energy that he had charged up, launching a cross that is as tall as a human at the girl.

Koishi clicked her tongue, barely managing to dodge the attack. More cross are coming for her, but she has little problem on dodging them. Al charged forward, hand ready to pummel the girl. Koishi wouldn't let this, so she pulled out a card. "Symbol: Danmaku Paranoia." Al's eyes widened when all this many orbs flew at him in patterns. He covered himself with his arms, not planning to get blown off. But it's getting harder and harder to protect himself even more. He clicked his tongue, annoyed that he can't do anything.

Then he remembered his power. The power to ask for any power he can. He groggily raised his other hand to the air, opening his palm as if to grab something. "Fuck off!" the burst of energy coming from Al was so great that it actually dismissed Koishi's spell card. The girl was thrown back meters away from her original position, she crashed to a tree causing blood to spit out from her mouth. Koishi got up, when she had regain control of her breathing, but was blown back by incoming cross.

Al released the energy on his right hand, feeling lighter. He panted, that was exhausting as hell. Al's instincts reacted causing him to dodge more attacks from the girl. Koishi glared at the male, feeling angry in so many years. She's shooting more orbs at him, but he's doing a good job on dodging those. Still, he's getting exhausted. Anymore and he'll fall. He countered with a shot of his own attacks, they're doing great on thinning out Koishi's incoming barrage of doom.

"Instinct: Release of the Id!"

Before blue orbs of doom and now pink hearts of hurting? What next, exploding roses? Al groaned out when he's forced to dodge again, again and again. It came to the point where he decided that it's enough. "You made a mistake on fucking with me, puttana!" he spat out. Al dived towards Koishi. Koishi jumped out of the way not planning to get caught by the man but Al's fist was too fast for her, it connects to her gut, digging in deep making her stomach churn. She choked out blood and spit, feeling incredible pain coursing her body.

"What raw strength…" Koishi thought as she handles the pain.

"Not finished you whore!" he grabbed her by the neck, gripping down hard. He lifted her up, glaring at her with eyes that could kill. "Now… care to speak?" his answer was her disappearing from his grip, he turned back for any incoming attack and he's glad he did that. He dodged an incoming heart aimed at him, this time faster than before. He looked at Koishi, she's lost her hat and a furious expression stayed on her face. Without other words, he zoomed forward aiming to do the same thing he did to the girl. Koishi disappeared again, appearing behind Al. with her Youkai strength, she decked him right on the back of his head, sending him tumbling.

Al quickly spun around with his palm outstretched, shooting Koishi right in the face in point blank distance. Koishi screamed her lungs out as the burning sensation burned her skin. She was blown back and due to the pain she's suffering, she can't catch herself in mid-air. Al wasn't done. Al dashed, appearing behind the launching Koishi. He kicked her right on the back of her neck, it was so hard that it actually emits a loud cracking sound. Koishi bit her lip, trying to ignore the surge of pain she's feeling. But it was too painful for her to do so. Her foe is combining close range combat with long range, the latter she's good at but the before is where she's having problems.

So she'll just have to keep him away from her. Koishi disappeared again as she crashed to the ground, this time she released another card from her sleeves. Al stared, planning to see what she's going to do with that card.

"Subconcsious: Rorschach in Danmaku!"

Al looked upwards, where Koishi has just flown to. His eyes drastically widen when he's seeing the form of attack Koishi is launching at him. This time is no joke, this girl is really going to kill him for good. Al didn't waver. He bursts in form of energy surrounding him, launching and rocketing his way towards the girl who's shooting at him. Now a dogfight has started. He's the one being chased with Koishi behind him trying to shoot him down. They made the sky their battlefield. Al did a counter maneuver, now the one in the offensive. He shoot cross shaped projectiles towards the girl he's chasing, she's also trying to gain the upper hand but he's not letting her.

Every maneuver she tried to do will always be intercepted by the man's bullet. She's not going too close to him, Koishi knows better than to get within his grabbing range. Al's power has increased drastically, he took back all the things he said about this power being useless. It's helpful when needed. Koishi shoots off heart shaped bullets towards her pursuer, he dodged them with ease but the alarms inside him are ringing. He looked back to see the bullets coming back. He cursed under his breath, dodging them for the second time. His gauntlet glowed white, almost silver, then the armor plating extends just above his elbow. This did not go unnoticed by the man.

"Had enough yet whore?!" he shouted, cashing the girl. Firepower began to appear on the sky, explosions, danmakus, energy surge and even giant crosses. Surely, their battle will not go unnoticed by the other youkais, but he doesn't care. All he wanted to do is to show this puttana her place, ask why did she attack him and where does she lives. Soon later, Koishi spun back, shooting all sorts of bullets at him. Al plowed through the barrage ignoring the damage, he dived in straight for the kill but Koishi disappeared. He felt a kick connecting to the side of his face, throwing him off balance. It's a good thing that he managed to regain flight, or else he might've crashed to the ground.

"His attacks are getting even stronger, and so does his maneuver… I'm getting restless, and this is bad…" Koishi thought to herself. "It's a good thing that sister didn't follow me here at all…" she dived out of the way to dodge Al's soaring form, she nearly lose her head there. "His power… it's making me weaker, what is it… it's…" she clenched her fists. "Strong."

Al knows that he needs to end this once and for all. He's got the power, the speed and the strength… he can do this. Four orbs hit him in the back, exploding. He was so caught by surprise that he didn't even see that one coming. A few more orbs hit him from the front. He cannot stabilize any longer in the air, so he crashed down to the ground. Hard. Koishi did not stop, she flew down closer to the fallen man. She continues shooting at him, hearts, orbs… she pulled out a card.

"Subterranean Rose!"

The world around her bloomed beautifully. Roses of orange and blue appeared, launching straight for Al who is vulnerable on the ground. Koishi's onslaught began endlessly, not ceasing, continuing on creating dust of the ground. The power of an EX level boss is not to be underestimated with. She's giving it her all, her trump card. Her attacks are furious instead of beautiful, it no longer held the concept of danmaku. Instead it shows her fear, the fear of knowing that something strong is facing her, something dangerous. She needs to destroy it, by any means necessary.

He was drowned in danmaku, now it's starting to hurt. He's sure that his clothes are no longer there anymore, and what of his pants?

Koishi's onslaught stopped, she then fall for the ground, exhausted. She dragged herself to a nearby tree. "This boy is giving me trouble… I never knew that he had this much control…" Koishi began to think to herself. "I should've brought my other cards, that'll end this battle quicker." She leaned her back up the tree bark to rest her tired self. "This power of his… it's not vile, but what is it… it's making me tired and weak, almost as if I'm going to faint. It's not danmaku nor is it magic. I need to tell the shrine maiden about this."

The power coming from Al died down, Koishi feels this then sighed in relief. She struggled to her feet, feeling massive aches all around her body. Her stomach's still hurting and he broke her spine…

"He won't do harm now… but still, I need to make sure." Koishi spoke to herself.

She made her way, towards the man. She waved the dust and smoke. As the smoke cleared, she spotted the man on the ground, clutching his shoulder. She smiled. "So you live. My, I thought that you were dead. I'm quite sur-" Koishi didn't get to finish her statement. The presence of his power reappeared again, this time, it's nothing like the ones she felt before. Even coming near him has become much of a problem for her. she backed away quickly, feeling an alien feeling inside of her. "What is this… to make a youkai like me shiver…" she pressed her back on a tree, voice full of frustration and lingering fear.

The smokescreen was cleared, so does the dusts and other rubles, by the wind that came from Al's direction. He is no longer wearing any apparel, sans for his jeans and shoes. His shirt and jacket is no longer there, showing Koishi his toned and Spartan built body. The image did not get into Koishi's head, she's struggling to keep herself from crying at what she's seeing.

Al stood up, the visage around him has changed. He is surrounded in a blue white aura, shaping a form of a cloak. On his head, a half crown appeared. His eyes changed from brown to deep blue, seemingly to see straight through Koishi's soul. His aura is… absolute. It makes her not worthy to be seeing him. Koishi covered her eyes, she started to feel all kinds of things. From embarrassment to fear. The gauntlet, glowed repeatedly in a steady rhythm. As it pulsates, the earth itself shook. Koishi's body flinched when he took a step towards her, looking at her direction.

She continued to cover herself, feeling unworthy to look at his general direction. "Kneel." Al spoke out. Koishi found herself kneeling for no reason. Her body only obeys his voice, not even her own. Tears are dripping down her face, feeling humiliated but a part of her is enjoying this.

Al stared down, looking at the girl who is kneeling at his feet. So… this is his power? The ability to make anything submit? It's fucked up, but fucked up things can still be used for good. He bend down, gripping Koishi in the hair. He forced her to look him straight in the eye, despite her protest. "Stay still." Two words is all it took for Koishi to freeze like a statue. "I am not to be fucked with. You will not seek for me anymore. You will run, return home and never speak about this incident to anyone. Should you speak…" he glared sharply. "I will end you myself and you will enjoy it."

He dropped the girl down. Koishi scurried to her feet, flying away crashing through some trees in the process. Al stared at the girl's fleeing form, his eyes returning to their usual brown color and aura disappearing from his body. The gauntlet armor breaks into millions of pieces, leaving him unclothe and unarmed. He felt tired, so tired. He needs to rest… but night is approaching.
