Authors Notes: So which side do you support? Capitals vs Countries? I felt bad for the capitals when i wrote this but the countries have to fight back right? now Chapter 4

America groaned "Man I have a headache" he reached out for his alarm and his hand hit cement. He quickly sat up and gasped to see he was in a big jail along with the other countries. "ENGLAND GET UP! WE'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!" he shoved the English country who awoke "Bloody hell, my head hurts" he looked around "What the devil is going on?"

Soon the other countries woke up and started freaking out. America tried pulling the bars apart; using his strength but the bars wouldn't budge. Russia looked around "I know this place"

"Of course you do, I mean it in your country" Washington said coming out of the shadows to the front of their cage. "WASHINGTON! WHAT'S GOING ON?" Washington smiled widely "What's going on? Why you guys are being locked up so we capitals can take our rightful place"

The other capitals came out standing behind him. "Moscow!" Russia gasped. Moscow smiled "This place is cold da?" he chuckled evilly. Rome blew a raspberry at Italy "Take that you scaredy cat!" she exclaimed loudly. Italy backed up behind Germany

"Berlin! Let me out!"

"No can do General, you have a new commander in charge" he cracked his knuckles. France stared at Paris "Why Paris?" Paris smiled "Because I am the designer not you!" she said angrily. Japan looked upset at Tokyo "This isn't right Tokyo!" China nodded "Beijing you should also known better"

Beijing flipped his hair over his shoulder "You're teaching must suck then if I didn't listen" Tokyo high fived him. England was steamed "LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU BLOODY BASTARD BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS!" London smirked "Bring it on Limey!" England yelled as he tried to pry the bars away.

Canada looked upset at Ottawa "Why would you do this to me?" she inhaled and screamed "BECAUSE I'M NOT INVISIBLE! I EXIST AND YOU DON'T!" Washington and the others uncovered their ears "I'm sorry" she said softly. Canada looked down ashamed.

America glared at Washington "And you?" Washington smiled "I'm sick of following a clown. We are capitals-"

"And nothing more!" Russia inserted "You have no right to keep us locked up. You are nothing but a state" America said finishing for Russia. Moscow clinched his fists. "You are a state Washington! Nothing more! You have no power over me!" Washington inhaled to steady his nerves "You are not meant to rule!"

"Shut the fuck up you fat bastard and let him talk!" the capitals yelled stunning the countries. Washington smiled at the capitals words "I'm sick and tired of you being in charge and ordering me around like a slave! I deserve better and so do the rest of us!" America shook his head "You guys are states! How many times do we have to go through this? Do I need to put you in your place again Ethan?" Washington glared and looked away angrily. "You tried this once before, do they know it?" the capitals looked at Washington. "Did you tell them you failed? That I beat you?...That you cried" Washington clinched his fists fighting back the tears.

"You need to learn your place Washington and if I have to remind you again I will. I don't like it but you can't be in charge. you-are-a-state"

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he cried angrily. Paris glared at America "He may not be a country but he's a damn better man than you!" she yelled as she held Washington's arm. Washington started trembling with rage "I hate you so much!" he glared at America through teary eyes. He went up to the bars with Paris by his side "I want to kill you right now!"

"Go ahead Ethan but it won't work. You can't handle anybody. You are weak and you know it! Without me, without us countries, you guys wouldn't even exist!"

The capitals flinched, minus Washington, at those words. Japan stood up "You guys should know your place and deal with it" Tokyo looked down and Washington felt them losing faith in themselves, especially Paris cause he felt her trembling.

"He's right! You won't be here without us and if we go so do you!" Canada said. Berlin looked worriedly at Rome. Italy stood up "Si that is true! You guys need to let us out so you guys can exist"

"You guys are bloody useless without us!" London looked at Washington fear in his eyes. Washington knew that they were getting to them.

France nodded "Oui, Paris I happen to choose the clothes you design so I am the designer!" she started crying and Washington growled. "You guys are weak without us! You need us!" Germany exclaimed angrily.

"So get us out now because you obey us" China commanded. Beijing went to the gate to unlock it but Washington stopped him. "No" he smiled kindly at Beijing and faced the countries. "WE ARE CAPITALS AND WE REPRESENT YOU GUYS!"

The countries looked at each other. Washington felt a speech coming and he let them have it. "We are capitals yes but we represent you guys! We own you guys! So no, we won't be gone if you guys leave. WE WILL STILL EXIST! We, states, as you put it America make up what you guys are! Without us your just countries with nothing in them!"

"We states have power over you guys! We can start a war within each other and you guys would supply us!" the countries couldn't think of anything to say and the capitals felt hope returning to them. "Without the people in our states, you guys would have nobody, no economy, no money, no power as you put it! And we're not just states, We're Capitals, the most important states! We represent all the other states. We have more power over them than you guys! We capitals can turn a whole city against you! If Moscow talks to other Russian cities to convince them to leave your country, you lose power Russia!"

Russia glared "And the same for all of you stupid countries! WE are the capitals and we own YOU!" he finished panting hard. America opened his mouth but quickly closed it. "You guys deserve to stay here for making my friends doubt themselves!" he growled angrily "MY FRIENDS, THESE GUYS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE AND YOU MADE THEM DOUBT THEMSELVES!…YOU GUYS ARE WORSE THAN SCUM!" Washington faced his capitals. "Listen to my words friends! These guys talk a big game but they are weak without us! Please don't ever doubt yourself again!" he turned his head to the countries

"Enjoy the cold. Let's go guys" he walked away and the capitals followed him but Tokyo turned back to them "Wareware wa ima chikara o hoji suru" he smiled and then followed the others out of the jail.
