I would do anything for him. It didn't matter how heinous the deed, I'd do it for him.

And that is the truth.

Amidst the trees of Deutschland, there stood a large mansion of wood and brick. It looked quite old fashioned on the outside, but the inside was modern and advanced. In a large quiet room on the second floor, a young woman gazed at her computer screen.

"To think they've been around for so long." She muttered. "And no one's noticed them. Until now, of course. Hmm…. Maybe I could use this. Yes. This would be the perfect time to start."

Sitting back in her chair, she picked up one of her many books on her idol: Adolf Hitler. Though many saw him as mad, she believed he was onto something. And what he couldn't fulfill, she thought, she could. All she needed were two men to do so. The first was a German: Ludwig, and the second an Italian: Feliciano Vargas.

Nadine Klein was this young woman's name. And she believed that with those two men, she'd be able to conquer the world.

As their secret was being discovered and their lives unknowingly headed for disaster, Ludwig and Feliciano were just arriving home from a G8 meeting. Ludwig had a horrible headache and had to (against his will) threaten Feliciano in order for the Italian to stop talking. Once in the house, Ludwig headed straight to bed for a short power nap before dinner. He told Feliciano that he could only wake him up if it were an emergency, and the Italian nodded in recognition with an added salute. They shared a quick kiss before Ludwig headed for his room.

Feliciano immediately headed for the phone once Ludwig was out of sight. He dialed his good friend Elizaveta to tell her how the meeting went. As they spoke, a strange black car pulled up into the driveway.

"I'm in the drive." The man in the driver's seat spoke into his cell phone. "Proceed as ordered?"

"Yes." Nadine's voice sounded from the speaker. "I will be there shortly, so make sure you don't fail me, or you know what will happen."

"I will not fail you madam." The man said, bringing out his Walther P-88 and making sure it was loaded.

"Make it quick." Nadine said. "I'm on my way right now."

The man and two others then exited the car. At the door, they found it unlocked; how careless. They moved quietly once inside and quickly found one of the intended targets: Feliciano. He was still talking on the phone when a black gloved hand clamped over his mouth. With a muffled scream, he dropped the phone, Elizaveta asking what was wrong on the other end. Pressing the gun's cold barrel to Feliciano's temple, the man spoke through a mask.

"Where is Ludwig?" he asked, loosening his hand over the Italian's mouth.

"H-He's taking a nap." Italy shivered.

"Lead the way then." The man said. "And quickly, we don't want to waste time."

Feliciano gulped down his fear and led the three men down the hall to Ludwig's room. Not bothering to knock, the four entered the room and stood before a sleeping Ludwig curled up in the blankets of his bed. Feliciano shook his shoulder a few times before Ludwig groaned.

"I told you not to wake me up unless it was an emergency." He said.

"B-But it is an emergency." Italy said. "Just look."

Ludwig turned over sleepily and glanced up at the captive Italy. He immediately jolted up and grabbed his own Walther P-88 from under his pillow. Before he could fire though, the other two men pointed their guns at him.

"Better come quietly." The man holding Feliciano said, jamming the barrel into the Italian's temple. "Or I'll blow his brains out."

Ludwig had no other choice but to throw his gun across the room to ensure them he wouldn't try anything. The men then had the German dress and be led outside as another black car pulled into the driveway. A black suited man climbed out of the driver's seat and opened the backseat door to allow a young woman out of the car: Nadine Klein. Her size wasn't intimidating but her icy glare made up for it. She strolled up to the men and smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Germany and Italy." She said. "I am Nadine Klein. You're probably wondering just why I've had you both captured like this."

Germany said nothing in response but nodded in recognition. Italy was trembling in fear but kept his mouth shut as well.

"It is my knowledge that you both are personified countries." Nadine said. "How I have come to know this is my own personal secret, and I don't have time to explain my full plan so I'll put it bluntly. You both will be used in my Project: Vollstyndig Machtergreifung, which I'm sure you know what that means, don't you Ludwig?"

Germany stared down at the small woman, his gaze attempting to call her bluff. Was she serious? No one would have the audacity to attempt such a thing. They would need a massive military force and of course power in government. There was no way such a small woman would be able to-

"Do you think I'm not serious?" Nadine smiled darkly. "Tell us, Ludwig, what does Vollstyndig Machtergreifung mean?"

Ludwig stared at the ground. He had absolutely no idea how this was going to go, but he knew things weren't going to well for him, Italy and all the other countries. He translated those two words with grim expectations in his mind.

"Vollstyndig Machtergreifung means… Complete Takeover."
