The plane was ready to land, and all the Countries got a good view of Japan.
"Bloody hell... What happened to this place?" England said to himself , looking out the window.
"Kinda looks like crap down there." America added on, followed by the 'yeahs' of almost everyone else on the plane.
"I right, then. It was Country." China stated. Germany furrowed his eyebrows.
"Zis means... ve'll have to fix this in order to help Japan." Everyone stared at him, knowing what he said was most likely true.
The plane landed slowly, and once it came to a complete stop, everyone got up from their seats and headed out.
As soon as everyone was out of the plane, they started walking. They had landed in a city that didn't seem as bad as the others. There were buildings, and people walking around... that didn't mean it was good, though. Everything still seemed dark, and rubble could be seen here and there. The ground was dusty, and most places looked unclean.
Everyone's attention was drawn when they heard the sound of a fight breaking out. They walked towards it to see what was going on. There was a crowd around to individuals, who were in the middle of a fist fight. The crowd cheered and booed, making a ton of ruckus.
One of the guys punched the other straight in the face, making him fall to the ground. He kicked him in the stomach to make sure he didn't get up. The guy rose his arms in victory. "Win!"
All the Countries looked stunned. Street fights?
"Are you guys new to Bl ster?" A voice from behind them suddenly asked. They turned to look at the person who was talking to them.
It was just a random thug, but he wore a friendly grin. Now that they thought about it, most of the people around these parts looked like outcasts, so he didn't really stand out.
"Bl ster?" Asked Prussia. "Vhat's zat?"
"You don't know? It's a fight game. It's were two people fist fight, and whoever ends up on the ground first loses. The goal is to get higher up in ranks, you also get money for participating. It's how most people now-a-days make a living around here." The guy answered. "The former champion, who's known by the Bl ster nickname Lost, isn't in Bl ster anymore though, I heard. So I think it's going to start getting more rowdy than usual, since people will be fighting for the top spot."
"Why would he suddenly quit if he was on top, though? Wouldn't that mean that he made plenty of money? I don't get it." England asked curiously.
"I heard that he joined Igura... Must've gotten bored." The thug chuckled.
"What Igura?" China asked.
The thug whistled with what seemed to almost be amazement. "You guys seriously are newbies. Here, follow me. I'll tell you." And with that, he turned and began to walk. All the Countries followed him, until he came to a stop at a trashed park. The guy sat at a bench, and the Countries sat around him, almost as if they were a class of children and the thug were their teacher.
"Alright," The thug began. "Igura is a game played in the district Toshima. It's similiar to Bl ster, but a lot more dangerous. In Igura, contestants wear dog tags around their neck, each engraved with standard card symbols. It's based around poker, and to win the opprotunity of going up against the champion, Il re, you have to collect a royal flush. The way you collect a royal flush, of course, is by collecting other people's tags. Igura matches end when the oppenent's back is touching the ground, though, it doesn't usually end with just that..." The guy explained. "It usually ends with death. Murder is legal in Toshima."
The Countries looked at eachother.
"That's not all. Most of the people in Igura are druggies. Vischio is the company that took over Toshima to start Igura, and they're the ones who sell out the drugs. They'd do anything for profit. Il Re is with them, and I hear Il Re has the option to take control of Vischio."
Germany interupted. "If someone were to defeat Il Re... vould that mean that zey could take over Vischio and stop all zat?"
The thug scratched his cheek. "Well, yeah... But you see... Il Re is extremely strong. He's been undefeated for longer than I can remember."
Germany stood. "Zank you." He turned and walked off, ushering the rest of the Countries to follow him. Most of them looked confused, but they stood, said goodbye to the guy, and followed Germany. They stopped under a tree, and Germany looked at everyone.
"I zink that Igura is ze main problem here in Japan. If we could eliminate zat, and all ze drug use, I zink that maybe we could help this place get rid of it's voilence and go back to it's normal self." Germany said, and all the Countries listened close.
"Ve'll have to enter Igura... and defeat Il Re." He finished, a serious look in his eyes.
