To Prove Them Wrong Chapter Two
{Another Time Loop}
It was only Italy and England alive, the others had been killed.
France and Canada had gone first, being ambushed when searching the mansion.
Then it was Germany and Prussia, both had been protecting Italy.
Then Russia, the monsters attack and his wounds would not heal.
Japan and China had been separated from Italy, America and England. The three had found their bodies later.
Then America. He had been reckless.
Italy saw how it killed England to not be able to protect the ones he cared for. Italy could understand that feeling. He had gone through it so much himself.
Then the monsters came for Italy and England lost it.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Is England's enraged scream, dark magic crackling in the air surrounding him. As this Italy could see why England should be feared. When pushed to his limits he was not scared to go farther than he should.
The attacks he used were effective, the monster fell, and so did England.
"E-England?" Italy asked as he knelt by the downed nation. England's breaths were coming in pant and he simply smiled at Italy and blinked tired and empty green eyes, glossy from the tears he would not let fall.
"I-Italy... S-s-sorry... I-I'm not m-much h-help... forgive me." England rasped, blood trickling down his chin.
"Sorry? For... what?" Italy asked hesitantly. He sat so England's head was laying in his lap.
"F-f-for... l-leav...ing." Was the almost silent reply and with that the Brit's body shuddered from the effort of breathing. Feliciano's eyes widen as the meaning behind the words became clear.
"England?" Feliciano asked as he gently shook the other nation's shoulders. "A-Arthur!" Feliciano shouted, trying to wake the other, yet his words fell on deaf ears. Glassy green eyes stared unblinking at the ceiling.
England had taken his last breath.
{Another Time Loop}
They had made it! They were leaving the mansion! Feliciano was overjoyed the nightmare was over at last.
Ludwig, Gilbert, Kiku, Yao, Francis, Alfred, Matthew, and Ivan were out the door, Feliciano and Arthur were running down the steps to the ground floor as fast as they could. They could taste freedom. Arthur however noticed something Feliciano didn't. He stopped running turning, but Feliciano was unaware and Arthur did nothing to alert him.
Arthur waited until Feliciano was out the front door when he did it. A spell that sealed the front door with an invisible force field. He knew the monster would chase the others if the door was not sealed, but he also knew if he left and sealed the door, the spell would fade over time.
The spell he used was special. Something the Secret Grimoire could cook up. Upon his death, if he was in the place he wished to seal, it would be sealed forever.
He didn't want to do this, but the others had been so bent on leaving that they did not think about what the monsters might do to get to them.
Walking down the stairs slowly Arthur approached the seal, which the other nations had noticed and were also gathered on the other side.
"Arthur! What happened!" Alfred yelled as he bashed on the seal, trying in vain to break it. Arthur just smiled sadly at Alfred, placing both his hand to the seal, as if trying to touch them, dropping the magic book to the floor. He no longer needed it. Slowly Arthur slid to the ground, kneeling, his forehead touching the seal, his shoulders shaking. "A-Arthur?"
"I'm sorry." Is all Arthur says in reply and then it comes into view. The horrid grey monster looming in the background. "But I had no choice."
"Arthur behind you!" Italy screams in fear. They were so close! Not now!
"I'm sorry Feliciano... I... I don't want you to witness this anymore... Which is why this is the best outcome... Is it not?" Arthur asks as he raises his face so the others could see it. Tears trailed down the nations face. "You had to watch us all die over and over again... I... Don't, please don't, go through this again just to save me."
The monster is advancing and all the other nations can do is watch in horror. "Angleterre, fight, run, do something!" Francis yells.
"B-but you don't get it. If we leave they'll follow us... The spell I used will permanently seal the mansion to all, whether something wants to leave or enter, upon my death." Arthur explains. "I... Forgive me... I guess this is goodbye."
"NO!" Is Alfred's cry as he hits the seal with all he's got.
"I'm sorry Italy I could not think of a better solution." The monster was right behind Arthur now. "A-Alfred, I want you to know that I am proud of you and-" a large grey hand grasps Arthur's forehead "you will always be the most precious to me." The monster suddenly increases the pressure it was putting on Arthur head and with a sickening crack Arthur's skull starts to give.
A look of pain crossed Arthur's face, but he quickly replaced it with a look that was oddly content. The only sign of his pain was his clenched fists and the trickles of blood traveling from the indents of the fingers.
"I'm happy that you will get to l-" What ever Arthur was about to sat was lost to the horrid sound of crushing bone and a stomach turning squelch. The doors the slam shut, the magic seal shining through the wood.
{Hours later}
None of the nations had moved. All mourning in one way or another. Alfred was sobbing curled into Francis' shoulder, while Matthew did much the same with the other. Francis was doing his best not to cry along with the younger nations, and was failing as tears trickled down his cheeks, giving them as much comfort as he could.
Kiku and Yao sat side by side, Yao crying silently while Kiku stared into the distance looking almost unemotional if you ignored the redness around his eyes.
Ivan sat on his own, staring at the mansion, his face could not be seen, as his scarf was covering it mostly, the shadows covering the rest. Ivan seemed oddly solem, his childishness gone.
Gilbert, Ludwig and Feliciano sat together. Feliciano had been cry and had his head rested on Ludwig's shoulder. Gilbert had a hand rubbing soothing circles into Feliciano's back, yet it was doing little good.
Everyone was silent. Then Feliciano broke the silence that had been going on for much too long.
"We have to go back." His voice is hindered by hiccups, he rubbed at his eyes and looked as his words got everyones attention.
"Go back?" Ivan asked, his face finally becoming visible. He hadn't been crying but the way his eyes shined told of the unshed tears. "You mean in time, da?" Feliciano nodded.
"Arthur told us not to go back." Kiku voiced, Yao nodding sadly.
"B-b-but w-we c-can't l-let h-him die!" Alfred sobbed, trying to regain some of his hero persona, but it was no good. The nightmare had worn them all. Arthur it seemed to past the point of rational thinking, he should have told the others. They would have found a way.
"I agree!" Is Gilbert exclaim. "We either all get out or none, right? So we'll try again!"
Yao frowned. "Arthur was right though wasn't he? That this has been the best out of them all... Wasn't he Italy?"
Feliciano sadly nodded.
ludwig stood then. "But it is not the best outcome, ja?"
The others nod.
Feliciano frowned, then stood and looked at the other with determination. "I'm not letting us leave unless we have everyone!" He states, and there is no room for any arguments. "Arthur may have told us not to go back, but that is because he is the one that has died the most."
"What? Really?" Matthew asked quietly.
Feliciano nodded. "Everytime he was protecting us. One time it was just me and him and he looked so... dead inside watching you guys die and he could do nothing. It drove him to protect me with dark magic more powerful than he needed to and lead to his death." He paused to sigh realising why the other nation had such a protective side. "He saw all of us as either precious to him, that he had something he needed to repay us for or he felt he needed to prove our views of him wrong..."
"Our views?" Alfred asked meekly.
"That he was selfish, proud, power hungry, short tempered, distant, a failure." Feliciano recites many words the others had thrown at the English man in fights and heated arguments. The others looked so ashamed as they recognised some of the words they had used.
Kiku and Yao both stand as well. "We go." They both say in time.
Alfred practically springs to his feet. "I'm gonna save Iggy this time!"
Matthew stands quietly.
Francis also stands. "I would be no fun without Angleterre was not around."
"да. Let us save Англия." Ivan agrees as he stands.
Gilbert also stands and grins. "No one left behind!"
With that it's decided.
