[SAM WALTER FOSS]
"America? America! Are you awake?" He shook the other nation by the shoulders.
"Alfred!"
"Nnm?" The country stirred, before starting to sit up.
"Mattie?"
He rubbed his eyes.
"What's going on? Is this your house..?"
"Yes, it's my house."
He handed America his glasses.
"It's Sunday. I broke you out."
The other was silent as he processed this.
"Great."
Canada watches as he sat up correctly and and faced him.
"Let's get this show on the road."
"What we you going to do?! He's gone, aru!" China exclaimed.
"W-well, first we need to stay calm." Britain almost stuttered. He was just as scared at this revelation.
Each of the countries actions went as followed.
France muttering a string of curses in his native language.
Russia checking the cell along with Germany.
England trying to calm China whilst forcing himself not to panic as well.
Then Japan came down.
"What's going on?"
They turned to their friend.
"America. He escaped."
Japan blinked in surprise.
"...'escaped'?"
"Or was broken out." Russia commented.
"Because if he had escaped, we probably would have heard him, and he'd have done it days ago, when he first woke up."
Silence settled over the room.
"Who would break him out without our knowing? No one knows where this place is except us seven." Ludwig started.
"Is everyone here now? We should take a headcount, aru."
Six.
"Mattieu. Mon petit Canada. Where is he?"
Then it clicked.
"Canada was working with America."
They ran up the now unconventional stairwell as fast as could manage, hoping they'd find something in the house as to the twins' whereabouts.
"So you understand now, bro?"
America stood behind the chair his brother sat on.
"Yeah, I'm good on that. But, not to be rude or anything, what's your motivation for doing this? Like, why?"
There was a moment of silence before Alfred spoke again.
"Well, I guess, to save the world."
"From what?"
"...from itself."
Matthew turned to face the American.
"Since you've got that out, tell me the real reason."
America sighed.
"Manifest destiny. Imperialism. The 'save the world' part is also kind of involved too.
"You should be happy I've included you in this, I almost wanted to do it alone. But I could never leave my brother out. We can rule over everyone else together. You, Prussia and I. My Manifest Empire."
"And Prussia?" The nation blinked.
"When was he in this?"
"Since, well, pretty close to the beginning actually. I mean, if you think about it, he's not really a nation anymore. He has no real land of his own. The only to get rid of him would be coming at him physically and killing him hands on. I don't get my hands dirty and don't hire people to do shit like that. So I went and talked to him. Told him about this, mentioned some things, and told him some perks. After a while, he agreed to join up."
"He agreed on his own, or did you bribe him?":
"All on his own. It was his idea to get Germany in an alliance, even though it'd be faked. Helped me out with that."
"Wow."
The man sat down on his bed and continued.
"And you know those not-so-secret meetings you've been going to? He's been there. A spy, basically. Tells me anything and everything from them that I'll need to know."
The two sat quietly for a while.
"You know,,,They're planning to lock you up underground after you go to Arthur's on the twentieth."
"Mmhm. How to go about that..."
"Well, you could let them, and then I could break you out. They seem to trust me for now. While you're in the cell, they'll probably go through all your stuff here. For clued and anything about this. Stuff about how to stop you." Canada explained.
"Yeah... That's good. I'll move most of my valuable and important stuff to your house, and leave certain things here for them. Like some of my video files from earlier on." The blue-eyed nation agreed and stated.
"But I say, leave me there for a few days. The twentieth's a Wednesday. How about you leave me until that Sunday or so. Show them the files during that period of time. I could incorporate that much into this plan."
"Okay, yeah. That works."
"You got it."
They shook hands, nodded, and the Canadian left.
Lets hear it for
CSAT SEQUEL
I actually meant to put this up yesterday. But they school... and stuff... so yeah. But whatever. 3/16 is just a day after 3/15. It doesn't make THAT much of a difference. ^^;;
Anyway, yeah! CSAT sequel. I wrote CHP1 and (part of?) CHP2 a LONG time ago (like, around the time I was still writing CSAT, before the 20s chapters or something.) so while typing it up I changed a few things so it flowed better. Hopefully I'll start on writing more chapters soon so I don't have all these tiny things. Sorry. ;;;
I do have school stuff- homework and all that jazz- so upd8s will probably be slow anyway.
Anything in all italics is a flashback. I think that's how I'm gonna do it from now on.
Well, enjoy the sequel from now on~
