Feliciano/N. Italy= Ziggy; Lovino/S. Italy= Zero; Augustus "Gust"/Ancient Rome= Soul Master; (for the moment) Eduard/Estonia= Full House (one that's not properly proportioned) ; Ivan/Russia= Number 42 (the one I described with blond hair). Her Majesty is a character from Song Summoner, and is not portrayed by a Hetalia character. The characters portraying Number 42 and his minions shall be named as the Song Summoner role they're playing.

Warnings: OOC characters- the Italy brothers, to be specific. Also, human names used. I put the country name next to the human name when writing who takes who's role above.

Prologue

Feliciano had always been good at running away. He'd have to run around sometimes when his older brother Lovino got really mad at him, or when they'd play tag.

He'd never had to run with his life actually in danger.

"Lovi! Hurry up!" He cried out as his brother narrowly avoided tripping. He was scared, truly scared. They were being chased, and they had barely managed to run away from their captors. Feliciano didn't want to be captured again- they had done tests on them, and even though neither of the brothers knew what they meant, they didn't want to be caught.

"Feli!" He heard his brother cry out, and when he turned around, his brother was on the ground. He seemed to have been hit with something to make him loose his balance, and he was struggling to stand. Feliciano began to run back to grab his brother, but he froze at the sight of the robot standing several yards away from Lovino.

"BZZT! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. SURRENDER YOURSELF." The mechanical voice ordered. That voice both annoyed and angered Feliciano- and that itself was a feat, seeing that Feliciano rarely got angered. As the robot repeated its message, Feliciano glanced at his brother, who was still trying to stand. He could grab him before the robot could attack if he acted now, he decided, and was about to step forward to do so before another figure appeared.

He was a large figure, a machine for sure- there was no way a human could support the attire it was wearing, more or less be able to move in it. He was a slightly lopsided machine, with large canons in place of arms, falling past its knees, narrow arms and legs, as well as overly broad shoulders, causing his head to look small in comparison. On its back were pieces of metal placed to appear like a set of wings that would never be able to carry the weight of the machine, and what appeared to be a couple of spikes on his back. He wore a tattered green cape, as well as a red sash loosely wrapped around its waist. Save for the pieces of cloth, the entire machine was colored a deep blue-purple, with glowing yellow lines going up and around his body. His eyes were a glowing violet, and they seemed to be trying to stare right into their souls.

That was one of Them- one of the people that hurt him and his brother! Feliciano felt another burst of anger swell up inside him as the machine decided to speak, even though he didn't appear to even have a mouth.

"Everlasting life, boundless knowledge- come with us, and these will be yours!" He said, trying to change the brothers' minds about running away. Feliciano would have spoke about how there was no way they'd join them on his brother's behalf, seeing how the latter didn't seem to even realize they weren't alone, but another came.

It was the leader, the one who had captured them in the first place. A tall giant who seemed far more human looking than the previous, with a face that scared many, including strong men, alone. His face was a metallic white, with horns that were sharp in place of ears. Platinum blond hair flew back messily and stayed like that despite the lack of wind, and his eyes glowed fiercely, slowly changing between a dark violet and a blood red shade and back as he stared at the brothers. He appeared to be wearing what would have been a vest, and had metal curved around his shoulders with spikes pointing downward instead of a cape. The "vest" appeared to be attached to the black sash and lower body cape, and Feliciano knew that those curved blades were not for show. He had gauntlets on his forearms, connected to him by several wires that ran up and down his body, including the back of his head. His over all color was a dark purple as well, several lines of a light purple glowed on his body. Over all, he was scary, especially because even though Feliciano knew it wasn't human, it looked so eerily so, that Feliciano and his brother often called the machine a "he," as well as the machine that had appeared before.

"Why do you run?" He asked as he stepped closer. "Do you not see the beauty of my vision? Join us! Become one with my Network and one day, you will become one with all humanity!" He stopped when he was the same distance away as the previous machine, eyes glaring straight at Feliciano.

"V-Ve," Dammit, why did he have to make that sound now, of all times? "Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass," He replied as he saw that his brother had been standing, just unable to find the courage to run- the same courage Feliciano was lacking at the moment- when the two larger machines had appeared. "Lovi, come on, let's leave," Feliciano said to his brother. He was about to run again when he heard what sounded like a gunshot and his brother call out his name, causing him to turn once again.

"BZZT! THERE IS NO ESCAPE." The smaller robot stated, and Feliciano's eyes opened wide at the sight of the smoke coming out of the gun that he didn't even know the robot was holding.

"The elder one scored exceedingly high in our tests," The disproportioned robot told the other. "Once we've removed the music from him, he will serve us well." Feliciano's eyes shot to the robot- music? What did he mean? What was he talking about?

The humanoid looking on hummed slightly. "Intriguing… The numbers never lie. We'll only need the older one, in that case. Seize him at once." He ordered. The other muttered an "aye," and made its way over to Lovino. Feliciano barely had time to comprehend the order and block the robot's way to his brother.

"You think I'll let you get away with this?" Feliciano screamed at the robot as he pulled out the dagger that he had never used in an offensive way from his waist, attacking it as well. "I won't let you hurt my brother!" Feliciano gritted his teeth as the robot blocked his attack; he continued to try to push the blade into the metal either way.

If robots could feel, Feliciano would be certain that the robot's eyes looked almost apologetic. "I think you have no choice." He said, and before he knew it, Feliciano was tossed away from his brother. He let out an alarmed yell as he hit the ground, his dagger several feet away, stuck in the ground. Through half closed eyes, Feliciano saw his brother stand up suddenly, worry etched onto his face. He barely heard what the robot behind his brother had said, but silently cheered his brother on as he pulled out his own dagger and yelled for them to leave them alone. Feliciano's face fell as he saw that the effort was in vain as the robot managed to capture Lovino before he could even attack, disappearing in a red light before reappearing closer to the leader. Feliciano could barely see two more of the smaller robots pass by the larger two and join the two that were already there.

"Lovi!" Feliciano cried as he struggled to stand. His body felt so heavy… He needed to stand and help his older brother- then they'd run, and when they finally got away, they'd fall down and laugh, maybe take the first siesta in days, or eat pasta…

Before he knew it, there was a thud, followed by the telltale sound of a machine's wires frying and a small explosion. Alarmed, Feliciano lifted his head, to find that one of the Militiamen had been destroyed and what stood nearby was a man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties. His hair was a dark brown and seemed to have never seen a brush in his life, but was at least cut short; his dark brown eyes were calm, and he held a hand to his chin, stroking the few hairs on it as if he had an actual beard. His clothing wasn't very flashy, simply a white dress shirt and brown slacks under a black vest that reached his knees, a red cape pinned to his vest while a white piece of cloth pinned around his neck made a makeshift tie despite being on the outside of his shirt's collar. He laughed as he looked up from the ground where the Militiaman had been.

"Oww!" He exclaimed, but from what Feliciano could tell, it wasn't in pain. "Not one for fightin', I see." He laughed heartily, and Feliciano was tempted to yell at him to save his brother instead of standing there.

"What- who are you?" He made himself ask instead. He wasn't the one to be rude- that was his brother who did that. He just had to hope that he could save Lovino…

Laughing once again, the man spoke. "I'm the one who's gonna show you how it's done. Her Majesty, turn it loose!" Feliciano flinched, silent as a blue light appeared next to the man, a blond haired woman rising from her squatting position as the light disappeared. She wore black jeans and a pink sleeveless shirt, black arm guards on her forearms and dark purple strips of cloth on both her upper arms. She unsheathed a large sword from its wooden sheath around her waist that had been partially hidden under a white cloth attached to a black leather belt, making sure not to slice up her pink cowgirl hat on her back. She glanced back at Feliciano with her blue eyes before smiling and turning back to the machines, seeming to be waiting for an order from the man next to her.

"Can it be? A summoner- a Conductor?" The violet-eyed robot wondered. He looked towards his superior.

The blond robot frowned. "Conductor indeed. This is quite unexpected." He glanced at the former, clarifying that Lovino was still secure, before sending a silent order to the remaining Militiamen.

The man frowned. "Hey, man, I just want the kid back and get back to what I was doing with Her Majesty. I don't want to fight." He even held up his hands to show he had no weapons on him.

The blond woman scoffed. "We weren't doing anything. Now fight or I'll use my sword on you next!" The man flinched, but laughed despite the threat.

"BZZT! REQUEST DENIED." One of the Militiamen called out. The man immediately stopped laughing and sighed.

"Very well. I suppose that we'll have to do this the hard way. Her Majesty, glad to fight with you once again." He said as he pulled out a rod from inside his vest, unclasping a buckle on it and, with a shake, it became a full sized staff.

"Wish I could say the same." The woman, apparently named Her Majesty unless it was the man sucking up to her, muttered as she swung her sword in a large arc. Before the man could say anything in response, she ran towards the closest Militiaman and sliced the robot in half, narrowly avoiding several bullets aimed towards her from the other two who ran over. The man followed suit, laughing again as he deflected a bullet with his staff.

Feliciano flinched once again alarmed as the battle was finished as soon as it had started, with Her Majesty slicing one of the remaining two Militiamen's head off, the man slamming his staff right through the other's torso. They had both gone off with small explosions. Her Majesty was about to dash towards the taller of the two robots, but found herself stopped by the man's outstretched arm. She scowled, but placed her sword back in its sheath.

"Now, how about the kid?" The man held his hands in front of him once again after placing his staff on the ground.

"Unwelcome nuisance. We have what we came for. Full House, withdraw!" The blond haired one said, and after an "aye" from the other, now known as Full House, they disappeared in a red light.

"H-hey! Hold it! I said HOLD IT NOW!" The man called after them, rushing over to the spot where the two robots and Lovino had been standing just seconds before. He cursed as Her Majesty squatted down in front of Feliciano.

"Are you all right, kid? Hey," She snapped in front of Feliciano's closing eyes. "Hey, Gust, I think he's passing out!"

A rush of footsteps. "Get up, boy! Get on up!"

Even with their yelling, Feliciano could only think of his brother…

I'm sorry, Lovi… I was too weak…
