Disclaimer: I haven't really read any story that involves future wars so I decided to write my own piece of history. Of course none of it is real, I just felt imaginative. I don't own Hetalia...I just wrote it m'kay.

Enjoy ^3^

~*~Hetalia!~*~

Shooting the last bullet straight through a soldier's skull the battle was over. The losing nation crumbled to the ground in agony at all the injured civilians and soldiers.

The flag of the United States, a symbol of freedom, waved proudly as it was struck on another conquered land. Dead bodies lay scattered around with blood sipping into the land. Next to it stood the proud nation America with his blue eyes shining with domination.

How disgusting.

Ever since the attack towards the White House of the States, the war erupted. Not just any war but the war that caused America to become one of the deadliest menace on earth and go on full rampage. The war, World War III the bloodiest of all wars, is composed of five superpowers leading their own groups in the war. As like America, those superpowers have been expanding its territories to conquer all others in a race to the top.

If it meant to kill, these nations were ready to do so to conquer.

Those nations long forgotten what peace was were drunk with lust and power. Yet even with all the lands conquered or in battle for control, there is but one that has return to its isolation age. That nation is the one that all other are craving to take under their empire.

"I want Japan aru."

"We have discussed this several times, we cannot take Japan."

Seated on the table sat the second powerhouse, China. He sat on the end of the table with his hands intertwined with each other. In his cabinet sat most of the eastern Asian countries excluding Japan and Hong Kong.

"But he is my little brother; I should have more rights on him than that filthy American bastard aru!" It was true, even with Japan in isolation he was under the power of America. In this war there was no neutrality of any kind all except for Japan, not even Switzerland was able to claim to be neutral. Japan was not only in isolation but he was also considered to be neutral in this war making him even more desirable to take.

Japan was only under America's empire to be granted those two special agreements. Nobody messed with Japan with America hovering over him. Everybody knew Japan was America's little pet.

That left for the most part Japan out of the war. Many knew Japan had the power to become a big force to be reckoned with but wonder why he didn't use it. Instead it seemed like he was trying to hide in his Second Isolation.

In another place the third powerhouse was planning his next attack. Standing in the open field of snow, Russia looked at the map calculating his upcoming move. His group consisted of all who were under the Soviet Union before.

Belarus and Ukraine walked towards Russia with updates of the battle at Romania for resources.

Russia smiled at the news, everyone slowly will be one with mother Russia. Before dismissing his sisters, he asked about the pending alliance between his group and China's.

"China said that he will considered the alliance only if he can keep Japan." Belarus said as she checked off some papers given to her by some soldiers.

"Hmmm so little Japan is what China's looking for. I'll have to focus on Japan sooner than I thought." Russia licked his lips in anticipation.

"But what about America?" asked Ukraine knowing that America would not let anybody near Japan.

"I'll handle him, let's make preparations for Japan." Russia said smiling at the thought of having the little nation under his power, he wasn't worry about the American he will get what he deserves.

In Europe, several countries were in some heated argument with the newest occurrence of the Middle East. The fourth powerhouse was Europe. They were the only group that had worked together to try and fend off the other four superpowers groups from conquering them. They were the closest to being the good of the war.

"We need to stop this war; this has caused too much damage." Spain said trying to stop the arguments and get to the point.

"We have tried but there just not stopping the rest from continuing what they pleased. This world is going under hell with the atomic battles occurring in the Middle East." Germany informed.

"If they keep that up an atomic bomb might land in our territory. We need to find a way to end this now before it is too late." Australia said who has been in close contact with those monster bombs. He was also part of Europe only so he wouldn't join the other bloody psycho nations.

In back of the room, England a former empire knew that conquering others wouldn't stop until something big happens, or a stronger nation steps in. He knew of only one who could stop this war but it seems that his dear friend was in isolation and it will be very difficult to contact him. How he missed him.

The last powerhouse was held by Turkey who has taken under his control the Middle East and most of the northern Africa. Greece, Romania and Bulgaria were also under his empire too.

"Greece I need your troops to back up Romania, it looks like there some trouble with the New Soviet Union forces." Turkey spoke to Greece who was lazily sleeping on the couch even in times of war.

Greece looked up sleepily. "Ten more minutes." He was too busy sleeping.

Back with America he was looking out the airplane window towards the blue ocean that separated him and Japan.

Ever since the war started, the only nation he could trust besides Canada, who he sometimes still forgot, was his old buddy Japan. Under the chaos of world domination he hasn't forgotten about his small friend that always welcomed him to his home.

Sliding the front door of Japan's house, he was the Great America so he could come in as he pleased, walked were his friend will probably be located at.

"You still don't know how to knock do you." Brown eyes meet baby blue with a scowl.

"Hong Kong don't you have some chores that you're supposed to be doing." America told the former Asian nation.

Hong Kong lived with Japan.

It was more like Japan took him under his wing just before the war erupted several decades ago. Japan had sensed something big was about to happen so he tried to voice his concerns with the other Asia countries. None of them paid much attention, most were concerned with the economy crisis that was affecting all of them at the time. All except for Hong Kong.

After the meeting Hong Kong walked towards Japan who was packing his notes.

"I want to be annexed by your country."

The sudden statement surprised Japan and left him speechless by such request. It took some explanation from Hong Kong that he believed what Japan was saying. The other reason was that his nation was small so he wouldn't stand a chance against whatever was coming.

Japan was glad that at least somebody heard his concerns.

It took some time to form the contract from both countries which caused some concerns with the rest of the eastern Asian nations. It was so out of the ordinary to ask to be annexed without any real problems. Yet that contract saved Hong Kong in the end from the upcoming war.

Because Japan was granted isolation and neutrality, Hong Kong was also given the same right.

"Maybe I should wipe the dirt and blood that you left trailing all over our floor with your boots on." Hong Kong said with disapproving eyes as he messily wiped the mop over America's combat boots.

"You little…" America was about to smack the mop away when he heard light footsteps.

"America-san?"

America turned around to see Japan bringing tea. "Hey Japan, I came to visit!" America said changing the atmosphere he was in just a few seconds ago with Hong Kong with a much happier feel. He went and hugged the shorter nation. "I've missed you!"

Japan gave the tea set to Hong Kong and looked up at America. "You look tired will you like me to prepare you something to eat?"

America grinned and latched himself on Japan. "Yes that sounds fantastic!" Looking at Hong Kong over Japan's shoulder he said "But it looks like there is no food, Hong Kong should go grocery shopping so we can have dinner."

Of course there was plenty of food for dinner but America wanted Japan alone for the afternoon. It was always the same. Always when America came to visit he gave a terrible excuse for Hong Kong to leave the house which both Japan and Hong Kong knew it was a command that meant scram.

Hong Kong did what he was so nicely asked knowing that if he didn't it might cause America to blow a fuse and literally shoot his head off. It isn't like it hadn't happened before.

Leaving, Hong Kong waved goodbye to Japan and flipped off America as he walked out the door.

"Stupid kid…" America murmured as he tightened his hold on Japan. Kissing Japan's ear tenderly, he whispered to him to take him to the backyard onsen. Japan shuddered at the touch and lead America to where there was going to be a lot of cleaning to do after some questionable activities will be held.

It was still early afternoon and the onsen looked welcoming to the senses of the tired America.

Quickly taking his dirty clothes, leaving himself bare, he wash off before entering the hot waters. Just before he did so he took Japan's face between his hands and asked him to join him while leaving sloppy kisses on his forehead.

Japan left without any other choice did the same. With both nations in the waters, America was able to finally relax with Japan at his side.

After a couple of minutes Japan looked at America with concern. No physical contact? There was something bugging the America. Usually America will start touching Japan leading to more heated activities. Almost like reading his concerns America reached to Japan to bury his head on his chest

"They don't understand me, they all hate me."

Ohh, now Japan understood. It was one of those guilty days. In such days America will complain on how everybody else in the world hated him because of his power and that only Japan was by his side. America sounded more like he was drunk in this kind of days.

America has become one of the most dominate powers in the world all by himself. Canada was there too but like always he was usually forgotten.

The war spares no nations from feeling it just there some nations that can hide it better than others, he should know. America was only still a child compare to the rest of the world.

Kissing his cheek softly he wiped the tears that were forming in America's eyes. The war might be evil but the nations are never, they are just misleaded. No matter who is right in this war, Japan knew he had to support America because if he didn't there will be problems he didn't want to face. Problems that almost got him killed during the last war when he faced the war monster of America during the end of War World II.

So now he let America do what he pleased with him, if only to stay safe but a greater reason was to ease America's loneliness in this war. Was it out of love? Japan wasn't sure anymore but he knew what were his priorities stood as a nation.

America linked his fingers with Japan as they soaked in the onsen.

If only the world wasn't burning in this cruel war, were its future is yet to be determine. The events that build this war are slowly shaping who will be victorious in the end.

Only one nation could help stop this madness, but by the looks of it wants nothing with the burning world. He wanted to stay in his isolation even if it meant ignoring the rest of the world. Nobody wanted his former imperial self to show up in this mess anyways, and that how it will stay.
