Hey. Just wanted to say this is a small idea I had. I will probably edit it frequently and I do hope to continue it! I might even start other ones with different characters featured but in the same world. if you have anyone you wanna see in this apocalyptic world tell me in a review and I may just write their point of view!

If you like this story tell me what I need to improve and I'll work on it for the next chapter!

If there is anyone who knows Italian rather well I would appreciate their help in translating sentences into Italian for me.

Reviews are greatly appreciated! I do not own Hetalia. Obviously.

Imagine a deserted landscape. Things that are not yet dead are dying as we speak. Plants, Animals, Fish, So much suffering among species. Yet one manages to flourish still. I suppose flourish might not be the proper term. More like survive. The human race. One might even be able to compare them to cockroaches. After all, This world is filled with nuclear fallout. Despite it being said that only cockroaches would survive such thing here is the human species. Granted there are few now, But they are growing again. One of those survivors is named Lovino. Lovino Vargas. Born only to be doomed he had a tendency to say. He was a rather feminine man, But despite his appearance he had survived. Managing to take out a few of the mutated creatures the radioactive air managed to create.

Simply put. This is the apocalypse. All caused by a nuclear war, But that died with the many countries. The information of that fact gone with everything else. In a blink of an eye. Now Lovino left his Colony many years ago to find his own place and happiness. Of course the feisty Italian was aware this isn't the easiest thing in the current state of the world. One must try, what else is the human race going to do? They have no other point than to advance. In not only technology but in everything they do. Like it had always done and will continue to do.

We shall start at the beginning of his journey. He traveled with two friends by the names of Antonio and Gilbert. Antonio is a bit of a ditz and oblivious but strong as well as very loyal. Gilbert on the other hand was rather arrogant bastard. He was loyal though and would protect you with his life.

"Keep up you bastards. The Maeromalum will catch us at the pace you're going." Lovino yelled back to Gil and Toni who simply whined in return.

"Mi tomate Slow down. We need a break!" Antonio whined at Lovino. He only huffed in response.

"Fine you pansy. Let's set up camp and get eaten by the fucking beasts." Lovi threw his bag upon the ground in frustration. One can only take so much whining for so long.

"Loviiii. We've been traveling for 3 days straight with only minor rest stops. We need a good rest soon. Plus it's going to get dark and this is a wide open plain! Camp will be safer here!" The tired man argued against an equally tired spitfire of an Italian.

"No where is safe dumbass! Not even here! You've been traveling with me a week now. Don't make me drag you all the way back to your colony. And my name is Lovino. Not Lovi." He hissed angrily. Gilbert getting between the two before the argument took the rest of the day and all night.

"Hey now Lovi. You're as tired as us. Let's just call it a day so we can all get much needed rest." The glare Gilbert received was terrifying but he was too awesome to be scared of the shortie! He's not shaking at all. Not a bit.

"Fine. But It's a dumbass decision!"

The three still set up camp despite Lovino's arguments. Putting up a tiny amount of barbed wire around as a small amount of protection from the smaller creatures. The camp also consisted of a makeshift roof of cloth and metal poles from what perhaps use to be a tent. As well as sleeping bags they had picked up along the way after nearly freezing to death until Lovi shared his own (Hesitantly) with all of them.

Antonio would take the first watch shift with his trusty and favorite axe. He preferred weapons without ammo for it's not the easiest to obtain and it was quick and easy in a dire situation. The other two were settling down for sleep. Lovino as far from Gilbert as he could get. Seeing as Gilbert had a problem with getting verryy cuddly in his sleep. Lovino hid his gun beneath his pillow; Meanwhile, Gilbert placed his sword a bit away from himself sohe wouldn't roll on top of it. (Again)

It was pretty peaceful for the night of a full moon. Nothing to be heard but the sound of his company's breathing. Toni stared longingly at the moon as if trying to find an answer it was hiding from him. Pondering something silently to himself. He began traveling with Lovi after he had saved his and his mother's life from a hideous beast. Despite being only two years older he wasn't as nearly strong willed as him nor did he know how to fight the monsters. His Colony was one that locked itself away among tall walls. But no wall can last forever. The murder of over half his people was proof of that. They may have rebuilt the walls but the monsters will always find a way back in. This is why he chose to travel with the stubborn Lovino. He wanted to learn to fight and defend himself. He wanted to find somewhere he could help and prevent something like the massacre from happening to anyone else. He wanted to be useful.

His shift passed rather quickly. Lost in his thoughts of the future. Until about half way. When an abrupt scream not only scared the shit out of Antonio but woke his fellow travelers. Gilbert Sitting up and muttering something about 'Where's the babes?'. Lovino on the other hand already was pulling out his favored pistol and Gilbert scrambling to snatch his sword shortly after snapping out of his daze.

Now it was silent. Much too silent for Lovino's liking. It caused paranoia after something like that and hurt his ears. 10 minutes passed. Nothing. 20 minutes. Then suddenly at the 30 minute mark just as the group was starting to relax when another scream sounded. Only right next to the camp. The three jumped and aimed to the sound. Only to find a tall disfigured creature. It's head locked to the side in a broken looking way. A red substance leaked from it's eyes and broken hands and arms reached for the group. Long claws covered in what appeared to be dried blood snake their way closer. It's blank white eyes never blinked and contrasted the Dark green color of it's skin. The heavy breathing of it sounded almost like it was choking. Antonio and Gilbert could only stare at the hideous thing. Lovino taking careful aim. Gilbert thought the thing couldn't be uglier until he heard it speak. Antonio Believed the thing could be worse on the other hand. Toni liked to be optimistic. Even at times he probably shouldn't be.

"IT'S THE MAEROMALUM YOU BASTARDS." Lovino growled out just as it spoke.

"WhY dId YoU dO tHiS tO mE?!" It screamed out with an almost child like voice. Lunging at the closest person who was found the thing moved quicker than he had ever imagined. He didn't even have time to position his sword. But luckily for him it got shot directly in the eye by a poker-faced Lovino. The monster let out a blood curdling scream as the tainted green blood poured from the wounded eye

"SaVe MeEeEEE" It then lunged toward Lovino instead of the terrified albino who looked like he might have shit his pants. Antonio cried out in fear as the creature neared his friend and was about to run to his aid before another boom sounded. Stopping him in his tracks. All three had a ringing in all of their ears. Yet Lovino didn't even flinch the loud boom of the gun. Contrary to his usual act of 'crybaby'. He had dealt with many like this one creature. The other two however are a bit newer to the field. The second shot pierced the head. As well as causing a plentiful of blood to pour out from the back of his head.

"...wHy?" The creature spluttered. Lovino walked up and placed his foot harshly upon the thing's hand. Causing it to wail more in pain.

"Welcome to the new age. Motherfucker. The new age of people." And another boom silenced the beast forever.
