Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or Hetalia but if I did there would be more dinosaurs.
Summary: Several Nations start to vanish starting with Austria. America calls in his old friend the Doctor to help search. Hungary is curious about The Doctor and Austria's past. Both of them have a secret they're keeping. And who is behind the missing nations? Why and where have they been taken? What fate awaits the world?
Chapter 3: Blood
Hungary watched the Doctor. Her head still spinning from the pain. Something lingered. She was certain it wasn't real just something she was imaging, but she could swear she could smell coffee,pastries and cigars. It was his smell, it was Austria scent, it was like he was right there a moment ago. The reminder was the last thing she wanted, it was a reminder that in a month she had not found him and this mad man had gotten far closer in less than a day. She couldn't shake off the feeling of a being a failure.
Italy helped her into a chairs his warm smile made her feel a little bit better of the situation. Still something in her warriors instincts told her something was off. She'd known Austria for a over a thousand years and sure she had beaten him up at first but they had become close over time. Still this man knew about his secret room and was close enough to him to use his human name. Over the years not once had Austria ever mentioned him. Something didn't feel right she was certain he was keeping a secret from all of them. The matter was put to the side when she heard that someone was hurting Austria.
The Doctor stumbled onto his feet walking around like a new born giraffe. "Still a little unsteady." He made his way to England's laptop. "Okay, if I'm right the global psychic wave had one way to be sent. I thought I told UNIT to shut off the Arch Angel Network." The Doctor quickly pulled up the UNIT website on the laptop and held his screwdriver to the screen. The password BAD WOLF flashed. "Still looking after me Rose?" The Doctor murmured to himself. "Oh, looks like something flicked on the network." His finger raced across the keyboard in a flurry. "Now it's just a matter of tracking the signal across the satellite array and detecting the source of the anomalies and there you go."
The screwdriver binged alerting the Doctor that the data that he had gathered off the computer had been received by the Tardis. "That's very odd. It says Roderich is in England. London to be exact. Why is always London?"
Something you want to tell us Bro?" America playfully asked England.
"Knock it off you bloody git. I don't know anything about this." The Englishman held his head still a little sore from what had happened.
"Well let's go fetch the Austrian pianist." the Doctor swaggered off into the Tardis. "Come along Jones and..." He turned to Hungary. "Sorry I didn't get your last name."
Hungary got up making her way to him she sighed as at his desire to call the nations by their human names, "Hedervary."
The Doctor blinked at her blankly "Hedervary?"
"Is that important?"
"Probably not." He quickly stepped inside the Tardis and the two nations followed. None of the others were any more eager to join them but they did wish them luck. Something did not sit well with them. If they were friends or not with Austria they didn't like the idea of someone putting him through that kind of pain for a whole month. They hoped that wasn't the case. They hoped that the others weren't going through that kind of pain.

"Dear Austria are you ready for the concert?" Maria Teresa asked her nation.
"Of course your majesty." Austria replied.
She was dressed with a flowing gown as she finished preparing for the orchestra. Austria was to escort her as her husband was out. That was when they heard the noise coming from the room.
"Not now!" Austria snarled as he already tried to come up with that to say.
As Maria Theresa opened the door to find a large blue box in the middle of her room. "Why is that in my room?!"
"Ah-" Austria silently prayed that the Doctor would not come out of the Tardis.
The doors swung open. A tall slender man in a blue pin striped suit with a long brown coat over it came walked out of the Tardis. His hair was a mousy brown hair that stood up. He spread out his arms as he gave him a wild smile.
"Roderich!" The Doctor wrapped his arms around Austria and hugged him. "I came for a visit."
"Austria?" The Duchess questioned. "Who is this man? And why is he hugging you?"
He pulled away from the hug, "He is an old acquaintance of mine. He is Doctor John Smith." He fidgeted trying to make the Doctor as normal as he could. "Doctor this is my Arch Duchess Maria Theresa."
"You're Maria Theresa?!" The Doctor said excited. "Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina? Queen of Hungary and Arch Duchess of Austria? Queen of Bohemia? The only female ruler of Habsburg? Empress of the Holy Roman Empire? Grand Duchess of Tuscany?"
Maria Theresa blinked, "Yes, that is me."
He took her hands and started to shake them vigorously, "It is a pleasure to meet you. You are just absolutely brilliant! I mean when you're father died he didn't give you any training to really lead a country and all he could do is convince then other leader to allow you to be charge. When he was gone Prussia attacked Austria and rallied to troops and fought back."
Austria fixed his glasses, "Yes, I remember."
"But you don't stop there." The Doctor continued, "No, you get the country into shape. You kick out all the useless leader and corrupt officials. You rebuild the entire system and this is with no formal training. You just use common sense. The entirety of Europe against you because you were a woman leader and show them just what a woman could do! Brilliant!"
"Alright you can stay." She smiled at the man.
The Doctor just grinned as Austria sighed glad she didn't order his head.
"Would you care to join as at the Orchestra tonight?" He asked him. "I would like to know more about you and Austria's friendship. I would never have believed Austria would associate himself with such an eccentric man."
"I would love to." As the Doctor smiled Austria frowned worried about how the night was heading. This Doctor seemed to be quite the talker and he might say something he shouldn't.

"Alright." The Doctor smiled as he wildly worked the controls. "I can get us near him so we shouldn't get bounced back."
The nations held on as the Tardis ripped through the vortex.
In a dark room figures gathered. A graveling voice said, "They will arrive soon. They come for the nation. The Doctor approaches. Prepare for battle."
"As your order."
The Tardis materialized outside a warehouse on the outskirts of London. As the trio stepped out of the Tardis and made their way towards the warehouse.
"Yes, he's here." The Doctor said. "I can feel the residue of the psychic wave he sent out."
"Okay, let's be careful." America said. "Scouting spy stuff. We go in and don't bring attention to ourselves. Find the nations and get them out nice and quietly. We don't know enough about the enemy to prepare an assault. So stay out of eye sight and keep to the shadows."
America might act like a silly child sometimes but he did know about military actions. Hungary gripped her frying pan tighter she seemed to be the only one with any sort of weapon. America could fall back on his incredible strength and the the Doctor seemed to be simply armed with his glowing tool.
The screwdriver whirled as it he unlocked the door.
"Can't you make that thing quieter?" Hungary questioned.
"No, it's a a sonic screwdriver. Sonic equals sound."
"Sh!" America took the rare change for him to tell others to be quiet.
They snuck inside the dark warehouse. There was no sign of anyone there. All they could make out was crated and things covered with sheets. Still everything was neat and clean so someone must have been there recently.
The Doctor's tip glowed as he held it out, "I've picked up non-terrestrial technologies. I'm willing to bet that's where Roderich is."
"I knew it. I told England that it was aliens." America quietly applauded himself.
"Stay focus." Hungary scold him.
They walked through the warehouse that looked almost abandoned without any sign of any soul. The Doctor did notice that whoever was here seemed to be moving things judging from the missing items in empty spaces. As they walked deeper into the warehouse they reached a locked room in the center of Doctor did quick work of the lock.
"Count of three we go in." The Doctor whispered. "1,2,3"
The trio rushed into the room. They all expected a number of things but not what they got. They found Austria on a table with wires sticking out his body. He didn't seem to be breathing. His clothes were in tatters and ripped. His glasses were tossed to the side without any care. He was pale, even more so than usual and for good reason there splashes of blood scattered everywhere. They all become experts in blood after seeing so much blood shed and they could tell some stains were recent while other had been around since month ago. There was all this strange equipment around him and none of it made things seems the least bit more pleasant. The Doctor waved the screwdriver over him quickly and the Doctor looked horrified by what results he got.
"Huh?Doc is everything alright?" America asked.
Hungary worried, "What's the matter? Please tell me he's alright?"
"He's dead." Doctor said.
"What?!" Hungary gasped.
"No, I mean he's mostly dead." The Doctor corrected himself. "He should be dead. Everything he's been through should have finished him."
"Well, he's a nation." America pointed out. "We can't die so easily."
"Well, he's a lot closer than he should be. Nations are creatures of thought. Living ideas formed and shaped by people. You are their spirit of community, of nationality. You're their hopes and dream and ideal. None of that is easy to kill but what ever these machines are doing are tapping into his essence." He studied the machines for a moment. "It seems like some sort of prototype and cobbled together with human technology. It's supposed to hook up to a larger system. The Arch Angel Network and Roderich managed to trick the system to send the warning."
"We should get him out of this." Hungary told him making her way to unplug the machines.
"No, we have to be careful. We have to be careful not to harm him and I'm not sure this machine does. I'll just have to ask. No matter what you do don't let break me out of it."
"Out of what?" Hungary asked.
The Doctor placed his hands besides Austria's head and said, "Contact."
"He's doing that mind meld thing." America explained. "He's going to ask Austria."
"He can do that? Just walk into his mind?"
"Yeah, I'm not sure what he can't do. I saw him do that once with one of my founding fathers Ben. If he's going to go deep into his mind it might be dangerous if something breaks the link. Dangerous for both of them."
If Hungary needed more reason to worry she got it. She watched as the Doctor stood motionless looking into Austria's eyes. Still she couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching them.
She was right though none of them had noticed there was a small camera hidden in the room whose feed was sent to another room.
"The Doctor is indisposed." He smirked as he watched the screen. " Finally my chance to get revenge on the Doctor. He has lived for far too long. Soon after the child that struck me will die soon after. There can be no mistake. I was given an soldiers and I will use them to ensure my victory." He turned around to two tall unmoving figures. "Awaken it is time to do battle. For our master. And for glory of Sontar the Doctor dies ."
Suddenly several bright red lights turned on in the shadows.
