The Fall of Germany
The allies knew taking their anger and grief on Germany was wrong, but they felt justified, thinking that because had he had started two world wars and nearly exterminated an entire group of people, he had to be punished.
America though didn't see it as Ludwig doing these atrocities but rather Germany, so having Ludwig punished like this seemed wrong. The country was still in ruins but no had bothered sending aid, even Italy and Japan got help and Japan had been the last to surrender.
"Guys, I think its time we thought of rebuilding Germany. Its been almost a year and the country is still in ruins! though I bet help would have come faster if someone hadn't ordered a blockade on the country." America said looking pointedly at England who blushed and looked away.
"Look we helped the other two axis members, why are we avoiding Germany?" The American then added looking from France to England and finally to China who sat quietly next to America.
"America has a point." China said, agreeing with America. Every country had screwed up at one point, but why should the nation be punished like this? Ludwig was young, even younger than America and yet he has the most hate of any country or nation, it was unfair.
"Thanks Yao." America said and slammed his hands on the wooden conference table they all were sitting around. "You know what? I'm the hero, I'll go rebuild Germany and help Ludwig myself, if you want to help me, fine. But this needs to be done, now." And with that, America was gone.
"I'm going to, this has gone on long enough and even young America can see difference between Country and Nation, unlike you two." China said and hurried after the American.
"I'm going to call off my blockade." England said with a sigh and left the room.
"I'm going to stop my hate mail and start send roses, after all beauty is the best cure." France said to himself and exited the room.
America and China stood in the pouring rain trying to open the door to Germany's house. "Move I am soaked and panda is drenched!" China ordered and had managed to unlock the door, with little effort, hurrying in to avoid any more rain.
"It looks like no one has been in here in ages." China said looking at the dust covering the house.
"This is like a haunted house or something. I thought Luddy was like neat or OCD or something." America said letting out sneeze as dust flew up his nose.
"Is he even here?" Chiba asked walking into the living room.
"I don't-" America stopped as a string of painful sounding coughing interrupted him. America looked to China and the two followed the noise ending up in front of a locked room.
"Ludwig? You okay? It's me, America. And China's here too!" America called knocking on the door. They heard more coughing as a response. America couldn't take it anymore, he took a step back and kicked the door open.
Germany was in there on the floor, coughing up blood. America and China ran over as the nation collapsed and looked him over.
"This could be internal bleeding." China suggested while America wiped some blood off of Germany's lip.
"His country and people being sick and injured and dying doesn't help either. I'm going to take him to my country, can you start helping his people? Since most are homeless, they need warm food, and shelter. If Arty or Franny offer to help, put Franny on kitchen duty and Arty on tending to any sick or injured and try and rebuild the houses!" America shouted as he carried the sickly German away.
"Wait! If he's gone from his culture or country too long his body will start to reverse in age. take at least something from his culture or country to keep this from happening." China quickly said before America had left the country.
"He has this Iron Cross around his neck. But what's a cultural thing I can bring?" America asked walking back into the house.
At that moment Germany awoke, his eyes slightly glazed, he got out of America's arms, landing ungracefully on the ground as he stumbled around, coughing, heading to the bookshelf in the living room and pulling out a key hidden behind the books. nearly collapsing into China as he handed the man the silver key. "Basement...you'll find my bruder's library...go in, lying next to third bookshelf is a flute, my culture has music in it, take it." Germany got out before he passed out once more.
America had gotten the flute rather easily and had gotten the German out of the country, going to his own home, hoping his alien friend would help Ludwig.
"Hmm...he seems to have ruptured a lung and never had it looked at, he also has lost a lot of weight, his ribs are showing. The best I can recommend is wrapping his torso up and try keeping him bedridden until he is better, or no longer coughing blood. If he gets worse take him to a doctor." Tony the alien said after he finished analyzing Germany.
Thanks bro!" America said and gently wrapped Germany's torso up, before taking him up to his room and tucking him into the bed.
Germany woke up hours later and looked around, he was in what appeared to be a teenage boy's bedroom. The door opened and America. came in with a plate of cheeseburgers. "Yo! I have food! eat up!" America greeted and sat next to Germany on the bed, offering him a burger.
"You're staying in bed until your lung possibly heals, but if it is a ruptured lung, then I'll take you to a hospital. I mean the doctors are as good as other countries, but it beats bleeding internally. I guess I'll give you two days, we heal fast, but we can still die if we're not careful." America said before he took a bite of his food. Germany took a bite of his own food.
