ONTO THE STORY!


"Honey? Are you alright?" Viola groaned. "Am I dead?" She opened her eyes to Mom, who was looking at her with concern. "I would hope not. Honey, what happened? Feliciano said that all of a sudden you had fallen over. Did he do anything to you?" Her face hardened, and I knew she wouldn't hesitate to try and delete him. Viola guessed that if you deleted a nation it wouldn't fair well for the world. "N-n-n-no! Of course not! What makes you think that?" She stuttered nervously. "Well, Toris told me that Feli was acting strange. Are you sure he's not defective?" Viola shook her head rapidly. "Of c-c-course not! He was just acting a little funny, but I rebooted him and gave him some spaghetti, and he's all better now!"

Mom smiled at her. "Okay sweetie, just making sure. Soon I'll be heading out for sleep, so Toris will be taking care if the house. Dad will be pulling out and all-nighter, and tomorrow he'll be joining me, so take care and look after Carter. By the way, he's in his room finishing his homework. When Alfred comes I want you to keep him under control. I read some reviews about him and I'm worried." Mom frowned, and headed to her room to Head back to earth. We needed to sleep and rest, and we could only last around a week here without returning. Mom would be back in about two to three days. While small, it was important in maintaining a life outside of Marukaite.


As soon as I was sure mom had left I barged into Carters room. He was lying on his bed, throwing paper airplanes around. Viola caught one and unfolded it. "Carter, do your homework!" She grabbed one of her pens and quickly began working on the problems, glad that she was skilled in math. Soon his homework was done.

Carter stared at her as the downloading bar popped up in the center of the room. "Dude, can you get me a coke while your at it?"

"Shut up, retard. I only did that for me." She stared intently at the loading bar, willing it to move faster.

"Well jeez, no harm in trying. What are you so anxious bout anyway?" Carter began throwing a superball at the wall.

"I'll explain it later." 36%

"You can explain now." 42%

"Its complicated." 49%

"I think I can handle it." 54%

"Please. Even I didn't understand at first." 67%

"Come on? Just a little hint?" 71%

"Just one little hint?" 75%

"Promise not to tell anyone?" 83%

"Mom?" 86%

"Not even her. Can't tell dad either." 91%

"Okay." 94%

"Now just one hint." 96%

"Just spill already!" 99%

"Earth." 100%

"What? That doesn't even make sense!" Carter yelled as Alfred began forming. "Cart! Leave for just one second! I need to ask Alfred something!" She shoved her little brother out and locked the door behind her.

"W-where am I?" A confused looking man looked up at her with bright blue eyes. "Who are you? Why am I-"

"What is your name? Have you ever heard of Marukaite or the Hetagrams?"

Alfred stood up with a childish grin. "My name is America, but you may call me The Hero! And for the second one, no, I have not! Do you know where I am? I had this horrible dream..." Viola Let our a breath she didn't know she was holding. Italy wasn't lying. "A-America, please wait here while I get the others. Me and Feliciano must explain to you and the others what's going on."

"Feli? You mean Italy's here?" Viola nodded and exited the room. "Carter, do not go in yet. If you do I'm going to tell mom who really broke the window last summer." Carter cursed under his breath but stayed put.

"Ita-Feliciano! Toris! Come here for a second!" She yelled, and Toris came dashing next to her. "Yes miss?" Viola frowned. "Stay here with Carter until I come back. Do not allow him to go inside." Toris nodded and went to stand by the sulking Carter.

"Italy? Where are you?" She turned to. Find Italy sleeping like a cat on the sofa. "Italy, wake up..." He didn't move, so Viola slapped him. "Waaahh! It hurts!" He sat up and rubbed his cheek.

"I would have used cold water but it takes a bit of time. Come on. We found America." After grabbing the map she dragged the Italian up the stairs.

"Okay everyone! Let's head in! It's story time." Viola slammed the door open and sat down next to America. Carter took one look at him and nearly killed America in a death hug. "Whoa! No way! I thought you looked so cool when I was ordering you, but your even more awesome up close!"

"Dude! You have a tighter grip than Korea! Lemme go!" America pried the over excited Carter off him. Italy looked at the nation in surprise. "Veeeeee? America?" America looked up at Italy and gave a huge grin. "Italy! Long time no see! Howdya been? Hey, where are we anyway?" at the mention of their location Italy's face fell. Slowly, Italy began explaining everything to everyone, America and Viola occasionally interrupting to say something. Carter still looked overwhelmed, but Toris had simply took it all in and was sitting calmly.

"So, you are saying that I am a mere copy of this 'Lithuania'?" Both America and Italy nodded, and Toris looked thoughtful. "I can believe it. When Italy started to call me 'Lithuania', while it made me nervous, the name didn't feel odd to me. This seems like a pretty big secret. What are we going to do?"

"Duh! That's easy! We'll piece the world back together just like it was before and be heroes!" America laughed like it would be that simple.

"But America, what if people don't want to go back to the way it was before? The world we live in has no wars, no fighting, and no early deaths. Everyone is peaceful and prosperous. The world you have described sounds bloody, and harsh." Viola pointed out. Both Italy and America looked confused. "You don't... Want to bring the countries back?" Viola shook her head. "I want to get all of the nations out of the jumble of Hetagrams, but the way we live is perfectly fine. Maybe you guys can become celebs or something. Immortal nations. Get on the cover of Virtual Scoop." She rolled her eyes at the mega popular trash magazine that everyone was reading.

"I don't know... I just want to find Germany and fratello so we can be a family again." Italy sniffled a bit, "Maybe Grandpa Rome or Holy Rome are here to..."

"I wonder how Mattie's doing out there? Maybe he found his way out of the monitor to..." America looked a little lost in thoughts as he remembered his quiet brother.


"A-Achoo!" Canada sneezed, and nearly blew there cover. Russia and China glared at him while there victim whimpered in Ivan's arms. "You want to get killed, da?" Canada shook his head. "N-no mister Russia... I think I might have a cold..."

China huffed. "You can't get cold when your a string of numbers, aru. Now be quiet if you wish to live, aru." They advanced a bit more when Russia suddenly stopped. "Hold her." He handed the terrified girl to Canada, who comforted her. "Its okay, we don't mean you any harm..." The girl hiccupped, and looked up at him. "W-who are you?" Canada gave a small smile. How those words brought back memories. "I'm Canada. Who are you?"

"K-Kuma..." She whispered, and buried her face in Canada's red hoodie as Russia's pipe connected with yet another innocent servant. Some were people, who crumpled, while others were those creepy look-alikes, who dissolved on contact. Russia just killed every one that got in his way.

"Little girl..." He bent down and smiled at Kuma, his face splattered with her servants blood. "Which way to the door?" She pointed forward. "You are not lying, da? It would be a shame to see your pretty little finger broken, ufu-!" She quickly withdrew her finger and sobbed harder into Canada's jacket. Russia marched towards the door and flung it open to freezing winter air. The girl shivered and glowed a bit. A sphere of golden light encircled them and all of a sudden it was spring to them.

"China, is it set?" Russia asked the Asian nation who had just scurried back. "Yes, aru. I have already lit it, aru. It will go off any second now, aru." just as he said that a thunderous roar swept through the land, the sound of a thousand firecrackers and fireworks going off at once. Colorful rockets launched from the rubble of the mansion, bursting in midair. The little girl cried for her parents. "Mama! Papa!"

Canada stared at the rubble. "W-why?" He exclaimed, looking at the older nations. They didn't notice him. He looked down at Kuma, who kept on calling out to her parents. Russia seemed to notice her for the first time. "Why is the brat so loud?" China hushed him and bent down to the girl.

"It is okay, aru! Your parents were just sent out of this place, aru. They are fine, aru." He took Kuma out of Canada's hands and soothed her. Eventually her wails died to soft hiccups, and soon she fell asleep.


"Aiyah, she's heavy!" China moaned after a while trekking through the snow. The warm bubble had died a while ago, leaving the nations in bitter cold.

"Um, I can hold her." Canada offered, "I'm used to carrying around something her size." He shrugged away the thoughts as he wrapped his arms around Kuma. She was shivering, so Canada took off his hoodie and wrapped her tiny body in it.

"What is this?" Russia stopped, and looked over the city below them. Canada squinted at the buildings. "Oh! It looks like Ottawa!" He smiled at the familiar site. Kuma's eyes fluttered open and she looked at Canada sleepily. "W-who are you?"

"I'm Canada." Canada answered absentmindedly, when he realized that it wasn't Kumajiro that was in his arms, but Kuma. Kuma yawned. "I'm hungry."

"Well, what do you want to eat, aru?" China asked.

"Food."

"Um, what kind of food?" Kuma rolled her eyes at Canada's question. "The kind you eat, silly." Canada sighed, while laughing on the inside. She was so much like his bear that it was scary.

"Would some pancakes be good?" Kuma nodded happily.

"Hmm, the brat is hungry? Than we should go find a restaurant to eat at, da?" Russia gave a happy smile, which didn't work with his still bloodstained face. Canada shook his head. "No, we don't have any money. If Ottawa is here, than that must mean that the entire city was copied. We could just find one of my houses and stay there."

"that sounds good aru. Lead the way." China yawned, still stretching his sore arms. Canada nodded, and walked down into the city.

Kuma had soon fallen back asleep. She snored lightly, and tightened the jacket around her body like a cocoon.

"She looks a lot like you aru." China said once he noticed Canada looking at his little bundle.

"Huh?"

"It's true. She does bore a resemblance, da?" Russia gave Canada a creepy grin, and he shivered. Out of all the people to be traveling with, why him? He looked back down at Kuma with new interest, trying to find the resemblance.

"I guess her hair's a little bit like me... And her eyes... But in all honesty she reminds me of K-Kumimachi..." 'She even sleeps like him,' he noted sadly.

"You mean your bear aru? I guess..." China mumbled, and they continued to walk in silence.

"Here we are!" Canada exclaimed once they reached his house. Amazingly, it was empty. He checked a cupboard, and to his amazement, food was there. Lots and lots of food.

"Who want's pancakes?" Canada called out once the first batch was made. Kuma instantly awoke, and China and Russia stumbled into the kitchen.

Soon everyone had a giant stack of the pancakes. They all eagerly dug in, happy to have finally gotten food.

"So, Kuma," Canada asked carefully, "Can you tell us more about where we are?"

Kuma raised an eyebrow, "You don't know? Your in Marukaite! A v-vir-virtue w-word?"

"A virtual world?" Canada said.

"Yeah, that!" Kuma said happily, biting down on yet another pancake.

Russia cursed. "So why are you here little one? Aren't you a bit young to be in here?"

Kuma looked a bit sad. "Mama said I couldn't leave. You know, cause I was born here."

"Eh?" China exclaimed, "How? Who are your parents, aru?"

"Mama was a queen of a big company! She sat at her plushy wheelie throne in front of a big table all day. When she wasn't busy she would read me stories. She said that she had a dream to have a child, but her husband left before she could have one." Kuma put her fork down, concentrating. It was hard for six year olds to remember things.

"Mama said that she didn't love anyone besides Uncle, but she couldn't wait for him to have a child. So she decided to buy a Hetagram that looked like uncle to have a baby."

"W-who was the Hetagram?" Canada asked. Kuma smiled at him.

"Silly Papa. Don't you remember? You are!" She gave a happy grin at Canada, who paled. "M-me?"

"Uh-huh! Mama said you looked almost exactly like uncle, so she programmed Papa to be my father. But recently Papa began to malfunction, so she ordered a new one!" She frowned. "She also decided to buy some other Hetagrams for the household as well, but Papa and the others went haywire and now home is gone. But Mama can fix it! Mama can fix anything!"

China and Russia were still stunned at Kuma calling Canada 'Papa'.

"Matveys a daddy?" Russia pondered this, as china mumbled, "While Canada did not father the child, she does have his DNA, so it's technically his..."

Canada ignored the other two, and instead smiled at his apparent 'daughter', thinking of Kumajiro. He had passed on that day, when the nations were entombed in this computer. He had bitten one of their attackers hand, but was shot. Canada was dragged away before he could comfort his dying friend.

"zzzzzzzzz..." Canada was jerked back to reality to the sound of Kuma snoring. He brought her to one of his many rooms and tucked her in.

"Oh, ni hao, Canada-San." China said once he was back. "We were talking about Kuma, aru."

"If her father was a Hetagram," Russia continued, "Then that means that she is part computer. She can be programmed to do different things."

"We think that that warm bubble thing was a result of a programming, aru. Her mother must've done it to keep her safe in the cold aru."

"While we are technically these 'Hetagrams', we cannot be programmed. I believe we have been reduced to the average strength of a human. So Kuma here-"

"No." Canada exclaimed, his voice shaky. "I refuse to let you guys transform Kuma into a weapon! She's just a little girl!"

"Da? Your spoiling her already?" Russia snickered, "Turning her into daddy's little princess?" Canada blushed bright red at the thought. "N-no! She-she's not my child!"

"But she has your DNA aru!"

"Her father was one of those Hetagrams! Not me!"

"Ah, but those hetagrams are exact copies of you. So you technically are her father, but you arn't the one who fathered her." Russia had a creepy grin on his face, like torturing Canada was fun.

"...That doesn't make much sense." Canada sighed quietly, trying not to think about it. It really was strange, to have a child without ever... Fathering one.

"You guys are loud..." Kuma mumbled, wandering into the room, "You woke me up."

"I'm sorry Kuma. We'll be quieter now." Canada apologized, but Kuma shook her head.

"I'm okay... I'm already awake anyway... But I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?" She yawned sleepily.

"But... You just ate, aru!" China protested, but Kuma ignored him. "Those pancakes you made were really good. Could I have some of those?"

"I think we have some leftover, but their cold. Do you still want them?" She nodded, and Canada gave her a plate.

Kuma placed her hand on the pancakes, and suddenly it started sizzling. "There, it's warm now."

Not noticing the three countries staring at her, she happily began eating.

"Kuma?" She looked up at Russia, "Where did you learn that?"

"Mama taught it to me! She would often be busy, so I sometimes had to heat up my own food, so she taught me! It also can keep me warm if I'm cold."

Russia looked up, interested. "How hot can you make it?"

Kuma thought about it for a second. "When I had first learned it, I didn't know how to control it. I would normally char the food and melt the forks and spoons. I guess that's the strongest I've gotten it."

Russia looked happy at that information, and China seemed somewhat pleased. Canada looked at cheerful Kuma with unease. They had no need to program her into a human weapon. Her mother already did.


More character introduction! isn't Kuma so cute!

... I also think I have some clearing up to do. Kuma's mother did not...urm... make babies with a Matthew Hetagram. she took the coding that makes up a matthew hetagram, and the coding of her in-game appearance and kinda mashed them together, making Kuma. so, in reality, she's more like all computer. She also, as most of you might have guessed, is kinda like the reincarnation of Kumajirou. That seems to have explained everything!

Bye! Next chapter will be up as soon as possible!
