"QUIET EVERYONE!" The loud German's voice roared around the conference room, effectively shutting the squabbling nations up. England had his hands around France's throat while America held the Frenchman still, China was attempting to fight off Russia who was trying to pull the Chinese into his lap. Italy was clinging to Germany with his face pressed into the German's back and Japan was staring blankly into space, for once ignoring the bickering Greece and Turkey.
As silence fell, England and America released France, and Russia sat on Canada with China on his lap, despite the smaller man's protests. Germany sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and looking irritated.
"Right. Now I'm sure that we all want to get home before the apocalypse comes, so lets try to keep this short, important issues only! Now, first issue one again, global warming," Groans chorused around the table and a few heads slammed into it.
After several ridiculous suggestions (mostly from America) half of the countries were idly chatting to each other and Germany was getting annoyed again.
"Ugh... ENOUGH! Can NOBODY think of a good tactic?" He roared over the table, shutting everyone up again.
"Look, I think what we really need is an efficient way of reducing greenhouse gases and saving energy. Japan, what do you think?" All eyes turned on the small Asian country, who was still staring blankly into space. He stayed silent.
"... Japan?" Greece removed his hands from Turkey's throat for the second time, concerned for his small friend.
"Error has been found. File 279 requesting backu-u-u-u-u" Japan started stuttering in an odd mechanical voice, the air around him seemingly pixellating. The other countries watched in stunned silence as Japan repeated the same sentence until-
"Error diagnosed as virus. Programme will now be temporarily terminated. All files will be restarted. Programme will now be term-" The brown eyes turned white, then the small nation's body faded to scrolling letters and numbers, then- he disappeared. Several seconds of silence followed this, then-
"WHAT THE HELL?" The table subsided into uproar as the many countries jumped out of their seats. The sudden disappearance of the nation of Japan had freaked everyone out- as it would if anyone else had disappeared in that manner. How on earth had Japan vanished like... like... like a computer programme?
"EVERYONE SHUT IT!" All heads turned as the two most unlikely countries to shout jumped up. Greece was standing with a hissing cat on his shoulder and another on the table in front of him. Italy was standing next to him, looking angry and... determined?
"Okay... everyone, I know this is... weird, but we need... to go and look for Kiku!" Everyone nodded, in shock at the Grecian's sudden shout.
"Right. Italy, China and I will... go to his house. Everyone else, split into groups and... search anywhere else he might... be!" Greece barked at the other nations before setting off to find his small friend.
