Ch.2 The secret message
A/N: Hey guys. Here is a new chapter of I'll protect you. I hope you like this!
-Krystal
A man with long blonde hair was conversing with a slightly shorter blond man. It was the brim of dawn and both looked very tired. The man with the long blond hair spoke. "England I haven't seen him all day. I know you have never formally met but, we need to find him." "France it is 7:00 in the morning, Can't we search at 9 or in the afternoon." "England I haven't seen him in almost all of yesterday! Last I saw him was at 12:00 in the afternoon!" France said worried. "Why didn't you call America? It is his brother you know." England said as he looked at the French man sleepily. "Then come and help me get him then. He won't pick up his phone." France said quickly. "Fine Francy-Pants, I'll help you if it means you will leave me be for a while." England said as he took off his sleeping cap and placed it on the nearby coffee table. France grabbed England's wrist and half dragged him to America's house.
Bang Bang "AMERICA OPEN UP!" A French voice exclaimed banging his fist on a closed door. England looked at his pocket watch and closed it. He gracefully put it in his breast pocket and walked to the door head held high. He cleared his throat. "America I have brought you a truck full of hamburgers. Open the door and you can get some of th-." The previously closed door slammed open and a man wearing a white undershirt and American flag boxers opened the door. "Move France! Where are the hamburgers?!" The man exclaimed as he pushed the shocked French man. The French man fell back first onto the pavement. He looked at the British man in disbelief. The English man raised a brow and gave the French man a cocky smile and walked over to the American. "America I regret to inform you but I lied." The American turned around and faced the English man. "What!?" He exclaimed as he grabbed the English man's shoulder. "You herd me. I woke you because we can't find your brother, Canada. He has been missing since 12:00 yesterday." The American let go of England. He turned his head slightly and made direct eye contact with both the men. "That's awful. Last I saw him was when he was walking back to his house. I think he waved at me but I was so busy talking to Japan that I didn't notice him. I turned around and saw him carrying grocery bags down the street to his house. That is all that I remember." England nodded. He turned to France and gave him a look. "So. Did you even think to look in his house or did you just freak out like a little girl?" France gaze lowered to the floor. "Then it was the lather. Come on lets go to Canada's house. Let's see what we can find."
TIMESKIP 10:45 AM
France was shuffling through Canada's bedroom drawers. All the French man could see was clothes. England was searching the living room and kitchen, England had found broken plates when they first walked in. He had put them in a bag for further investigation. America searched everywhere else. He had found nothing. England opened the fridge and looked inside. Everything looked normal. Nothing out of the ordinary. He closed the door and looked in the cupboard. They searched thoroughly through every drawer and shelf. He opened the last cupboard the pushed some plastic cups back so he could see what was back there. His elbow bumped into a nearby glass and in went tumbling down onto the floor.
CRASH!
The British man heard footsteps hurry from every part of the house till France burst in the kitchen. "What happened! Are you o-" "Step back you idiot!" England exclaimed. France stepped back in surprised and bumped into America. "There's glass on the floor. Watch where you're going." England said. The other two men nodded. England knelt down and started to pick up the shards of broken glass. France also knelt down and helped the English man. America just looked off to the side and went to go check another room.
England and France stayed in total silence. "Hey Uhhh… Arthur." England's head jolted up upon hearing his real name. "Yes francy-pants?" He said quickly. "Thanks for helping me look for Matthew. It means a lot." England looked back down and continued to pick up shards of glass. "No problem. I would have done the same if it was America." France nodded. After most of the big bits of glass was picked up England went to go find a duster to pick up the ones they couldn't. France opened a small closet like cupboard in the side of the kitchen. He looked at the medium sized trashcan inside and was about to dump the glass shards in the trash when he saw something stick out to him. He gently reached and plucked a crumbled piece of paper out and dumped the glass in the can. He closed the door and walked back to the kitchen table. He sat down and examined the paper. He gently unrumpled the paper. He barely finished the content of the paper when England walked back into the kitchen with a duster. He saw the violently shaking French man and went over to him immediately. "Hey France what's wrong?" He placed a hand on France's shoulder. "E-England…" England looked at the French man. His long blonde hair blocking his eyes from view. "You said the 2P portal closed… That the spell you put won't open again, didn't you..." England nodded. The French man thrusted a paper into England's hands.
England looked confusingly at the paper. He turned it over and gasped. He read it word for word.
Dear, America
Hello, America I hope by now you have noticed you dear sweet brother is missing? Have You yet or are you to slow being a damned glutton to realize? I have got your brother captive and at my mercy. I have been thinking about having some 'fun' with him. It is wonderful at what someone can do if they find a spell isn't it Alfred. Now that the portals open we can travel freely in and out of your world. If you ever want to see your brother again I suggest you come get him. My toys don't last very long…..
Your better side. Al
England moved his hand across the paper. He looked down in the far corner and saw blood on the tip of it. He looked at France sadly and put his hand on his shoulder. France shrugged his hand off and looked at him in raw fury. "You said that it was closed for GOOD!" England flinched slightly. "I thought it was closed you bloody idiot! Maybe my 2p opened it or like the letter suggest, Alfred's 2p got a hold of the spell and did it himself! It doesn't take much to open it n-"
"But you said-"
"At the time I thought that you bloody wanker!"
"GUY'S STOP!"
Both men turned to see America standing in the door way. He walked in and stood in front of them with his hands on his hips. "How will it help Mattie if we are all just arguing! Pull yourselves together!" France and England shared a surprised look. America was acting kinda….responsible? They both nodded. "Ok. Now come on. I just called Japan. He said he going to help us." The three man walked out of the kitchen and out the door.
At Matt's House (through the 2p portal)
Canada sat next to his 2p and looked at him. "KK kid before I tell you this stuff please remember not all of us are proud of this. Well here I go…" Matt took a deep breath and hung his head. "A long time ago we didn't even know there were 1p's and 2p's. We just lived our normal lives. Then-" Matt lifted his head and stared into nothing.
-Flashback-
Matt fell to the ground as Luciano (2p Italy) ran into him. The ground was shaking and the sky was dark with clouds. The clouds roared angrily as they rained. Matt sat up as Luciano was grabbed by Lutz (2p Germany). Luciano was breathing hard and was crying. He turned his panicked gaze towards Matt. "What the hell are you standing around for!? Run you worthless piece or s**t RUN!" He twisted out of Lutz's grip and ran. Lutz pulled Matt up and followed after his partner. He turned to see Kuro (2p Japan) with hi sword in hand, facing off against Roland (2p Austria). Roland was standing in front of a door. He sneered at Kuro. "Let me in! The shelter is big enough for all of us including me!" Kuro screamed as Roland shook his head. "Why don't you go crawling back to Lutz and Luciano? Like hell I would even let you of all people in here!" Roland pushed Kuro backwards onto the sodden ground. He quickly went behind the door before Kuro could retaliate. Matt turned to his right to see Oliver and François (2p France) pulling Al into their bunker.
Oliver then motioned for Lutz, who had Kuro and Luciano under his arms to the bunker. Matt looked around. Everyone was scrambling for shelter. The world he knew was falling apart. Houses and buildings were crumbling to the ground. Even the tough countries were crying or trying to save their friends from this destruction. He felt the ground shake more violently he fell on his knees and took one last glance around before someone grabbed his shoulder and tried to haul him up. "Sweetie you could at least help me you know." He snapped out of his gaze and saw Oliver trying to help him up. He shakily stood and tries to walk. He tripped and felt someone grab his arm and pull him up. He looked up and saw Al pulling him. Finally they got to the shelter and they set Matt down. He looked around and saw Oliver, Al, François, Kuro, Viktor (2p Russia), Gillen (2p Prussia), Xiao (2p China), Andres (2p Spain), and Flavio (2p Romano). Matt sighed and sat crises cross. He knew others were out there but didn't dare to leave the safety of the bunker. He still felt the tremors of the earth. He closed his eyes and tried to block out the rest of the world around him. He fell into a troubled sleep.
-TIMESKIP- .
Matt felt someone shaking him. Out of pure reflex he elbowed them. He heard them gasp and then the person slapped him. He opened his eyes ready to make that person pay. He just looked at his brother, Al confused before he glanced around. "Hey Oliver told me to wake you up, sleeping beauty." Matt looked at him. "What happened to everyone?" Matt said to himself. Al shook his head and grabbed his shoulders. He pulled him up and led him to the Bunker door. "Matt while you were asleep something happened. We don't know what it is….We are still trying to test it." Al opened the door to revel everyone standing in front of a large glowing portal.
He looked at it in awe and fear. He saw Kuro, Lutz, and Luciano in front of it. Luciano turned around and faced all the 2p's with a serious face. "Everyone, I know that we don't know what this is or what does it mean. I say one of us goes through this portal thing to see where it leads. We need at least 1 volunteer to go through and see what is beyond. Now who ever wish to please step forward." Luciano and the rest of the Axis stepped back into the crowd. Matt looked around and saw that no one made an attempt to move. He looked at Al and then to the portal. What could lie behind that mysterious portal? What could be so bad to cause all this damage? Questions ran through Matt's head like crazy. His hands fidgeted as his thoughts went haywire. He could feel Al's stare as he continued to fidget. Finally his curiosity got the best of him. He raised his hand high and said in a clear strong voice. "I shall go through the portal!" He saw everyone turn their head to stare at him in surprise. "Matt are you out of your damn mind! Put your f'ing hand down now!" Al yelled at him. Matt ignored him and started to walk through the other 2p's to get to the front.
He turned to see Oliver's gaze at him in fear as he clenched onto François jacket. François looked at him in surprise and fear. He took a deep breath and spoke. "I shall go through this portal and see what God's wrath has brought upon us!" He then turned to the portal and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and jumped through. He fell and landed with a thump. He opened his eyes and realized he landed in front of someone. He got up frightened and went to grab his Hockey stick. All he grabbed was thin air. He panicked and stumbled backwards. "Who the hell are you?!" Said a male voice with a British accent. He looked up to see…Oliver? No. This isn't him, Oliver dresses better and brighter then this man. He glared at the stranger. "That is what I should be asking. What the hell did you do to my home!?" Matt yelled as he stood up. His new found anger overridden his fear. The strange man backed up a few steps and looked behind him. Matt looked over the small British man to see many more people. They all looked like his friends and family. They all stared at him bewildered. He stood his ground and took a step forward. "I said what the F'ing HELL DID YOU DO TO MY HOME!?" A man that looked like Luciano cowered behind a Lutz look alike. He narrowed his eyes at everyone in the crowed. Finally a man that looked like Kuro stepped forward. "Sir, we didn't mean to harm you are your home. We are just as puzzled as you are. Can you please tell us about your home?" The small black haired Japanese man said. He looked at him and then back to everyone else. He turned back to the Japanese man. "Before I give up my identity I must know yours. What is your name?" The small man looked over at the British man. The British man nodded. "My name is Japan. But, my closes friends address me as Kiku. I am part of the Axis powers. Nice to meet you, sir." The man held his hand out. Matt looked at him and shook his hand. "My name is Matt; I represent Canada from where I'm from. I am part of the Allies. I guess it is nice to see you too." He retracted his hand and looked at the Japanese man. He looked exactly like Kuro. It is incredible how they could possible never be related. In fact everyone there looks exactly like Matt's friends, family, and enemies. The man who looked like Lutz spoke up. "We have a Canada here to. Maybe could you show us your world? England might have opened a portal to an alternate dimension." Matt looked at him and debated. "I shall take some of you to my world. I must say that if you try anything funny you shall be apprehended. Understood?" Everyone nodded. "Fine any volunteers?" Matt said with a evil smirk on his face.
A Russian man stood up from where he was with a petite Chinese man and moved forward. "I shall go da?" Matt turned to the 'Axis' as they stood. Japan spoke. "We shall go too." Then what seemed like his brother stepped forward. "My name is America. I and the rest of the Allies shall go!" He saw four other men nod. Matt nodded and motioned towards the portal. "Fine let's go."
-Through the 2p portal-
Luciano screeched angrily and almost lunged at England. England took two steps away from him. Lutz reached over and grabbed Luciano and held him. Lutz glared at England while trying to drag Luciano away. "Don't you retarders see! They did this to us! They cause' this destruction! All for a stupid damn test!" Luciano screamed over and over while he swung his knife. "I wanted to test out the spell. I didn't think it would do this!" England said. "You f'ing liar!" Flavio screamed as he threw a tomato at the cornered 1p's. "Please, you got to understand we don't want to resort to violence!" Japan said. Kuro was at his side. "Guys please maybe they really didn't know! How could they!" Viktor was at his 1P's side. "Stop how could they have known, think about it!" Xiao looked up at Viktor who was in front of Russia. "You god damn traitor! How could you do this to me?!" Xiao had tears in his eyes. He wiped his eyes and stormed off. Viktor ran after him, leaving Russia to fend for himself. Italy was clinging to Germany's side. "Get out and don't come back!" "Why are you here!?" "Look at what you have DONE!?" All the 2p's were yelling at the poor 1p's. Rage swept through the crowds like forest fire.
Matt stood there not knowing what to do. He didn't see his 1p anywhere. He looked over to see Al pinning down America. Al had his hands around his neck and was constricting his wind pipe. Matt was pushed to the ground. He looked up and saw Tai Yang (2p Hong Kong). He sneered at Matt before picking him up by his shirt collar. "Do you know where he is?" "Who the hell are you t-" "CHINA! Where did he GO?" Matt looked at him and shrugged. Tai Yang dropped him and ran off. Matt rubbed his head as he heard gunshots. He looked over to see Al with François's gun aiming for his scrambling 1p. "Get back here you little worm!" Al yelled out as he shot again. "RETREAT! Back to the portal!" He heard England yell as he bolted to the portal. He saw the 2p's trying to catch the 1p's before they escaped to safety. Oliver came and hugged Matt. "Sweetie you're not hurt are you?" Matt shook his head. "OK good. Now where is your broth- AL!" Oliver screamed as he saw Al clutching his side. America was holding his chest. A large scarlet spot was on America's chest as he limped away fast. François and Oliver ran to Al's side. Matt ran to his brother's side and held his hand. "Al? AL! Are you OK!? Can you hear me sweetie?" Oliver said as tears slid down his cheek. Matt felt anger boil in him. America was going to pay. He is the only one who deserves it.
A few weeks later all the 2p's gathered at a conference. The all agreed on one thing. The 1p's are going to pay. Luciano and the rest of the Axis made a plan. They would send a letter to England. It would say that they're going to fight them and kill every single one of them. Matt didn't agree with killing everyone, except America. Oliver tried to reason with them and say that a fight would lead to worthless bloodshed. No one listened and the plan went underway. The letter was sent written by Luciano himself. But before they could pass through the portal a letter was sent to them. It said that the 1p's were going to close the portal. No 1p's go in or out of the portal. All the 2p's infuriated tried to get there before it closed. Another earthquake happened and it was closed forever.
-End of Flashback-
Matt looked at Canada. Matt felt sick to his stomach as he watched his 1p. Canada just looked at him. He sighed and shared a small smile at him. "I don't blame you. I would be mad if something like that happened to Alfred." Canada slicked his hair back. Matt felt the feeling go away slowly. He sighed as he stood up he knelt down in front of Canada. "Thanks for not getting mad." Matt made a small smile. Canada beamed back. "But, I just have one question though." "And that is?" "How did the portal open again?" Matt looked at Canada. He shook his head. "My idiot brother opened it. With a few modifications he made it to where he can open a small one. It would cause no earthquakes or tremors. All he had to do was knock you out and bring you here." Canada looked at him wide eyed. Matt saw this and raised his hands. "Hey, I didn't have anything to do with it! He just told me his plan. I tried to protest and he ignored me." "Then why don't you hate me like everyone else does with their 2p?" Matt fidgeted. He looked up at Canada. Canada put a hand on his shoulder. "You don't need to tell me if y-" "No I am." Matt took a deep breath. "So in order for Al's plan to work he had to spy on America. To see what was precious to him. And I turned out to be you. So I was forced to spy on you every night while you slept. I was actually supposed to kill you." Canada gasped and retracted his hand. Matt looked at him sadly. "But, somehow I convinced him to spare you. He said he would leave you out of it. I believed him. You just looked so innocent and calm. How could I jab a knife in your throat? I spared you kid." Canada replaced his hand on his shoulder. "Thanks for that then." Matt blushed and nodded. "Well Uhhh. You can stay here with me today. We should head back in about a week or two." Matt said as he stood up and started to walk down the hall. Canada stiffened. "Were will we go to?" Canada stood up and walk to the hall. "Oh. I know Oliver. He will help us make a small portal so we can get you home before something bad happens." Canada followed the voice. He turned right and found himself in a huge kitchen. He saw Matt flipping pancakes. Matt smiled. "So you like my kitchen?" Canada nodded. Canada sat down and watched Matt till the meal was done.
Canada and Matt turned out to have a lot in common. Right now they were watching a late night game of Hockey. They had bet on a team and watched who would win. Apparently luck was on Canada's side because he won. Matt handed him $10 and turned off the T.V. Canada yawned and stretched. Matt led Canada upstairs into a nice looking bedroom. "This is where you will sleep. I'll sleep downstairs on the couch. So if yo-" "You can't sleep downstairs! This is your house! I'll sleep on the couch." Matt shook his head. "Now you're my guest. I insist." Matt said as he turned to leave. Canada got up and grabbed his hand. That was the start of a long and beautiful debate on who should sleep where. Finally Matt gave up and put a finger to Canada's lip to hush him. "Fine I will seep here." Canada nodded in victory. He was about to walk out of the room till someone catches his arm and pulls him to the bed. "What the- Matt what are you doing?" Matt shrugged and patted a spot next to him. "If I'm sleeping here so are you." He pulled Canada onto the bed and turned the lamp off. Canada was tired and didn't want to argue anymore so he just go under the covers. He closed his eyes as he felt Matt lay down in bed with him. Even if Canada would never say it out load, he felt safe with Matt here to protect him. He didn't have to worry if Al came after him cause' Matt was right here. Canada stiffened as he felt arms wrap around him. He slowly relaxed at this and turned to face Matt who had already fallen asleep. Canada just laid there and started to drift off slowly. All he felt was safety, and that was what he needed right now… safety.
Unknown to them they were being watched. "He- he- hey looks at Matts sweet arm candy." One said. "Wahoo! Let me see!" A small man grabbed the binoculars. "Why you stupid idiot! That is the one Al told us to look for!" the small man threw the binoculars. A large man reached and grabbed them before they touched the ground. "We should probably keep quiet! What if they catch us?" The small man walked over to him and drew his knife. "Watch it I haven't took my medication kid! Also who gives a damn?" The man sighed and grabbed the knife. "Al's not even home. He said he be back in what he say? Few weeks?" The small man grabbed his knife back. He tapped his chin with it. "Yeah. Maybe we can see what really is going on. Everyone knows Matt isn't that lucky with the ladies." "That was a guy." "Shut up I knew that!" The biggest of the three men stepped forward. "Let's just set up for the night. Then we can see what we can do tomorrow. Agreed?" The other two nodded their heads.
A/N: Hey guy me finally updated this Fanfic. Sorry for the wait! So now we see some feeling and a little backstory on what happened. Poor 2p's got there towns and homes destroyed. Well it is built now. After a large age gap. Also if you know who the three men are then you should know that that's how they will act towards each other. Hope you like it.
