SO here it is, the final chapter. Q~Q

(Also it occurred to me just now I never did a disclaimer so: I do not own Hetalia nor its characters, and I make no profit off of this work)


He snuck down the hallways, trying to make sure he didn't run into Kuro. Upon reaching his brothers room, he slipped inside, finding the albino sitting in front of a TV, playing Call of Duty with his stolen Xbox.

"Gil?"

No response.

"Gilbert!"

His brother jerked, and popped his earbuds out, pausing the game. "Whats up?"

"I need to talk to yo-" His brother cut him off.

"Is it about the mayor?"

Lucifer looked dumbstruck, making Gilbert laugh.

"Come on, I raised you, I know exactly what goes through your head."

Lucifer gave a small chuckle, and flopped down on the bed. "You're right, on both accounts. I can't hide anything from you… but yes, it's about the mayor."

Gilbert gave him a small smile and turned around fully to face him. "I could tell the moment you started to "trick" him, that you loved him. Brother, why did you let Kuro decide to kill him?"

"Because, I can't betray you guys and our plans!"

Gilbert shook his head. "That's not all. You're afraid aren't you? That something will go wrong and you will be left alone, huh?" Upon getting no response from Lucifer, he sighed and tugged him into a hug. "You know, you will always have me brother. But I want you to take this chance, and get out of here. I will be just fine, and Kuro will get over it eventually. But you need this…"

Lucifer contemplated this for a while longer before nodding, and hugging him back. "You're right Gilbert...thank you. I love you brother."

He stood up and ran out the door, Gilbert calling out a good luck. He sprinted down to the holding cell, and peered in. Luciano was curled up on a cot. He hesitated, but then entered in the numerical code into the lock pad, making the plasma bars fade. He stepped into the cell.

"Luciano," he noted how the other stiffened. "Please look at me."

He sat up and turned to face him with bloodshot eyes. "Are you here to rub what you did in my face?"

"I lied" He blurted out.

"Excuse me?"

"I lied," He started walking toward him. "Everything that happened was real. The butterflies that being around you gave me, the way you made me laugh. Everything I felt in here," He said softly, putting his hand over his heart. "Was 100% real."

Luciano looked at him with a distrustful gaze. "How can I know you aren't just lying to me again?"

" I know I hurt you, but you have to believe me. The only reason I did that, is because I felt I couldn't be selfish, and betray my brother and friend but, I want this more than I want the city. I want to step out of my comfort zone and try this, because, I think I love you… I've never felt this way before."

Luciano's gaze softened and his stance became less defensive. "If that's the truth..how are we going to get out of this?"

"I'm going to break you out, and we can leave."

They were silent for a while, before Luciano nodded, and walked over to him. "Lets do it." He reached out and took Luciano's hand, when red lights started blaring.

"Security has been breached, primary and secondary defenses have fallen."

Lucifer's eyes widened, and he picked Luciano up, running towards the main wing. By the time he ran in, Kuro and Gilbert were already there, ready.

"Brace yourselves!" Gilbert shouted, as explosions rocked the building, and the reinforced door was kicked down. Lucifer's eyes skimmed over the intruders. One, Two, Three...weren't there four? He didn't have time to think as the fight began, and he had to set Luciano down, standing in front of him defensively. Captain Marvel came at him, throwing punches and kicks that were easily avoided. He was holding up fine until his foe brought out his lasso, the strands sparking with electricity. He avoided the first few strikes, but then he faked, and managed to wrap it around his wrist. He shouted in pain and tried to tug himself free. Captain Marvel upped the voltage and he screamed, going down to his knees. He could faintly hear Luciano screaming his name. He grit his teeth and raised his free hand, casting an illusion of himself breaking free and running for the door. The Captain almost fell for it, but instead of letting his whip go and running after his hallucination, he went forward, still gripping the line tight. So Lucifer fell forward, weakly catching himself. Captain Marvel stopped when he felt the pressure and blinked, the neon blue of Lucifer's powers leaking out of his eyes, leaving only the hero's untainted sapphire blue. He grinned at Lucifer, and kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back as Luciano screamed.

"You won't take my city!" he growled, and kicked him over again. The amount of electricity that had run through him left him stunned and defenseless, his powers sputtering out on his fingertips. Marvel put his boot down on the base of his wing and put his weight on his, grinning at Lucifer's scream of pain at the pressure on his sensitive wings. Luciano had had enough, and let out a feral roar, tackling Marvel. He was about to punch the fallen hero in the face, when someone ran in. "T-minus 10 seconds, heroes, retreat!"

Lucifer foggily remembered, this was the fourth member, the Invisible Dynamite. The heroes immediately fled, as did Kuro and Gilbert, not realizing Lucifer wasn't behind them. Luciano ran to him and tugged his shoulder. "Lucifer, get up! We have to go!"

He sluggishly tried to get to his feet but fell, the extended expose to such a high voltage of electricity leaving his legs feeling like mush.

"5…..4…..3…."

"LUCIFER GET UP!"

"2...1…."

Lucifer managed to grab Luciano's wrist and pulled him down to the ground, rolling on him and tucking his wings around the others body tightly,rolling himself up into a fetal position..

"0"

The ground shook as a huge explosion erupted from the center of the building, the heroes and villains alike staring in horror as their hopes of the Mayor and the Darkling making a last second escape faded.

Gilbert's lip quivered, his hands covering his mouth. "He's gone…my baby brother is gone."

The heroes were bickering behind him.

"What are we going to do? It was our explosion that killed the mayor!"

"Come on, it's the villains fault, they kidnapped him!"

"ENOUGH!" Kuro yelled.

"Look, if they really are dead, we need to search the debris, and see if we can find their bodies."

They all nodded in agreement, and began the search. Soon, night had fallen, and Gilbert sighed. "The blast must have incinerated their bodies or something...they're gone you guys.."

A morose silence fell over the group, and they silently parted ways. Kuro paused and looked back at Gilbert, who had his back to him, staring down at his hands.

"Are you coming?"

Gilbert jerked and hastily tucked a scrap of singed paper into his pocket.

"Yeah...I'm coming" He said with a soft but sad smile, looking off towards the mountains behind the wreckage that separated them and the next city.

"You did good little brother. I'm proud of you."

He left with Kuro, a single black feather drifting to the ground behind them as they left.


So, I hope you guys liked it! And if you did, let me know if you would like to see this redone, or maybe even a sequel?
