Chapter Seven
America bought some weapons and armor from Germany, who was staying behind. As he said, Italy and Romano didn't want to go to the forest, so he was staying to watch them.
Prussia was also staying behind. ''Protecting Feliciano, Romano and West is my duty, right? So, I'm staying too!'' he said. America teased him about it. Prussia frowned. ''Lemme alone,'' he muttered.
After that, America went into the foyer of Germany's house, where the rest of the Allies were waiting.
''I wonder what the imposter wants to accomplish? Why didn't Ivan attack us when he was supposed to be infected? ...Well, it's no use thinking about it. First we should go pick up Kiku and listen to what he has to say,'' France said.
''Kiku... I hope he gets here soon,'' China murmured.
''Let's go and pick up Kiku in the forest,'' England said.
''We should stop wasting time. Let's hurry,'' Palori suggested.
America nodded. ''Okay, let's go!'' he said. They all nodded and followed him outside.
The overworld was easy, there were no monsters. They went past Italy's mansion and walked along the road. But just as they were about to approach the entrance of the forest, Error appeared on top of the tree!
''It's him!'' America exclaimed.
Error, with Japan's face and expression, looked furious. ''...I won't let you! I can not have you 3Ds intervene,'' he said. He flicked his wrist and three magic circles appeared. From them came three huge blue slimes that were different from the other slimes!
The Allies drew their weapons. ''Arthur! With me!'' America said. England nodded and readied his magic.
England purposely mischanted the Lightning spell as America got ready. ''THUNDAAAAASH!'' they shouted. America charged at the slimes, but it did nothing.
Error laughed. ''You can not rely on combined skills! They don't work on these creatures!'' he said. He gestured to the slimes, giving them an order.
The three slimes gathered a large ball of strange water and flung it at the Allies, drenching them.
''Eww!'' France said.
They tried to shake the water off, but it clung to them! What the...
''This isn't natural... What is this?'' England exclaimed.
Palori suddenly screamed, her blue-emerald eyes widening in pain. She convulsed and spasmed, falling to the ground. The others soon felt a stinging, burning pain inside them.
''This stuff is poisonous!'' England realized.
''If you don't destroy them soon, you'll die,'' Error said, pointing at the slimes with a smirk.
''L-Lightning!'' England called, casting the spell on the slimes. It had no effect.
France healed them and they started to attack again. But the poisonous stuff coating them would send random jolts of pain through them. And worse, they couldn't kill the slimes.
With their HP and SP running low as well as Potions and Ethers, the fight seemed futile. They collapsed, unable to get up.
England staggered to his feet. Error was amused that he was trying to do something even though it was hopeless.
England took out a wand. ''HOATA!'' he shouted hoarsely. His body started glow and he was lifted into the air. When the light faded, England was flying! He was wearing a white toga like garment and two white wings were coming from his back. His Britannia Angel form.
''Take this!'' England said and easily destroyed the slimes. He flew up to Error on the tree.
''Uhg... So it had come to this...'' Error said. A magic circle appeared around him and he vanished.
''Wow! Thanks, Arthur,'' America said.
''Arthur... You're an angel... Ohonhonhon...'' France said.
''Quiet, Frog!'' England huffed, landing on the ground.
''We can't waste any more time,'' America said.
''Let's hurry to the slate!'' England agreed.
.~.~.~.~.~.
They went through the forest until they got to the area with all of the ancient columns. They walked up to the slate.
''Is everyone here? Wait, what about Feliciano-kun and the others?'' Japan asked, his voice coming from the slate.
''They're at Ludwig's house!'' America replied.
''...I see...'' Japan said.
''Anyway, why this forest?'' England asked.
''Ah, yes. You see, for some mysterious reason, the system is only stable in this forest. I planned on using the slate as a gate between the two worlds; that way, it is possible to make a dive through a legitimate route,'' Japan explained.
''Does that mean we can go home through that slate, too!?'' England asked.
''No, unfortunately, that is not possible. You were brought to the 2D world against your will by the Error, so you can't pass through a legitimate route,'' Japan said.
China sighed. ''So it's impossible...'' he said.
''Yes... But do not worry! I, the creator, have made some specially strong weapons, and I'm sure they can defeat the Error! Well, now, I'm coming down there!'' Japan said.
''Hey! Don't forget the corrective patch!'' England reminded Japan.
Light appeared as well as a magic circle. When it cleared, Japan was standing there.
The Allies stared, not knowing how to react to Japan's clothes. He was dressed like someone from the Fire Emblem video game series. Either Roy or Marth... No, it was Marth.
''Wow! That's a freaking cool costume, Kiku!'' America said, admiring Japan's clothes.
''Wha- What the heck is up with that outfit!?'' China exclaimed.
''Well, I thought it was only appropriate for a two dimensional world...'' Japan said, adjusting his Marth crown.
''It's clearly a cosplay!'' England said.
''Hmph! That's rich coming from you!'' Japan said, looking at England's angel toga like garment. ''This is the outfit of an ancient warrior-'' he added and was interrupted.
''Kiku... You're being unusually frivolous,'' China commented.
''Hey, don't you have anything like that for me?'' France asked, wanting a costume.
Japan surrounded himself with light. When it cleared, he was wearing a plain black and gray kimono. ''Well, how about this, then?'' he asked.
''Yeah, it's good. If you'd have changed into your regular clothes, we wouldn't be able to tell you apart from the imposter,'' America said.
''So, did you bring the corrective patch?'' China asked.
''Yes, of course. I've also brought the weapons,'' Japan said. Then he frowned.
''What's wrong?'' America asked.
''How odd. I was sure they were around here somewhere...'' Japan said.
''Are they just going to pop up?'' England asked.
''Yes, they're going to drop around,'' Japan replied calmly.
''Hey! That's dangerous!'' China exclaimed.
''How odd... They should have passed through the gate, but... Maybe they were dropped somewhere else,'' Japan said.
''We'll have to go and search for them...'' England said.
''Well, we can do that later. First, let's go back to Ludwig-san's house,'' Japan replied.
Japan joined the Party! the game announced.
''Oh, yes. I made the party system infinite!'' Japan said.
''Yes! This means Alarise doesn't have to be her own party anymore!'' America said.
Palori joined the Party! the game announced.
''Cool! Now we can see what skills she has,'' America said.
''Her stats and Class too,'' China said.
''Yes! I'm not the only Mage anymore!'' England shouted, looking at Palori's Class.
''What about me? I have healing magic,'' France said.
''You're the Healer,'' England said.
They looked at Japan's stats. And gasped. He was level 30 and had different skills than the Error. Then they started leaving the forest.
.~.~.~.~.~.
Japan was having fun fighting the enemies in the overworld. He could destroy them all in one hit! Everyone was glad to have the real Kiku with them, no sinister look on his kind face.
England waited until the others were up ahead. ''Hey, Kiku...'' he asked.
''Yes?'' Japan replied.
''It's not the Kraut bastard, but... Is it possible that Feliciano and his brother Romano have been infected?'' England asked.
''Well, I've tried analyzing their data thoroughly, but there had been nothing particularly odd about their behavior or abilities,'' Japan said.
''According to the Kraut and Gilbert, Ivan materialized out of thin air,'' England said.
''Yes, but that ability hasn't been confirmed so far. Though maybe it's just that it hasn't been used yet,'' Japan replied.
''If we don't act now, we'll never know,'' England said.
''...Once we start doubting, we can't stop. ...Besides, even if Feliciano-kun and Romano-kun were infected, they probably wouldn't be much of a threat. We also have the corrective patch, so if worse comes to worst, we should be able to deal with it quickly,'' Japan added soothingly.
''I guess you're right,'' England said.
They went to catch up to the others.
.~.~.~.~.~.
When the Allies and Japan entered Germany's house, they were greeted by an eerie silence.
''What the heck? It's awfully quiet here, isn't it?'' America said.
''I have a bad feeling about this... Shall we go further inside?'' Japan said.
The Allies nodded. They looked around the house, but didn't see any signs of life anywhere. That was, until they went into the kitchen. The Italy brothers were cowering in a corner.
''Feliciano-kun! Romano-kun!'' Japan said.
The two brothers looked up. Italy started crying. ''Ki-Kiku... Just- Just now, the imposter showed up and- Ludwig and the others-'' he said.
''Oi! Our brother Antonio is in trouble!'' Romano added.
''Calm down. What happened?'' Japan asked gently.
''That Error guy appeared out of nowhere and took our fratello Antonio and the Potato bastards with him,'' Romano explained.
''What!? But you two seem to be all right...'' France said, relieved that his younger siblings were okay.
''He said he didn't need us because we're weak...'' Italy explained.
''So, where were they taken to?'' America asked.
''Well...'' Romano began but was interrupted.
A magic circle appeared and out stepped Error. ''Yes, thank you. Sorry for bothering you,'' he said.
Japan stepped up, hand on the hilt of his katana. ''So you've finally showed your face, Error. Now it is time for my Blade of Justice...'' he said.
''Kiku! You're getting carried away!'' China said.
''Huhu, it looks like my 3D self is enjoying himself. I am so glad. As a reward I suppose I'll tell you what happened to those who were here,'' Error said.
''You- What have you done to them!?'' France demanded.
''I haven't done anything; I've merely confined them in Ivan's castle,'' Error said casually.
''Ivan's castle!?'' England exclaimed.
''...What do you want?'' America demanded.
''...All I want is for you to enjoy the RPG world. Please make sure you train and raise your levels. Goodbye,'' Error said. Then he vanished.
''What the hell!?'' America asked.
''...However, the fact that they're being held in Ivan's castle is worrisome. If by any chance we are taken as hostages...'' Japan said.
''Can't we just remove the infection in Ivan beforehand?'' England inquired.
''If he resists, we won't have time to apply the corrective patch. We have to exhaust him to some extent first,'' Japan replied.
''Either way, we're going to have to fight him...'' China said grimly.
''...Well, as long as I'm there, it'll be all right! After all, saving my friends and fighting evil is exactly what a Hero is supposed to do!'' America said cheerfully.
''Yeah, we have no choice but to go...'' France said.
''Oh, well. We'll have to try,'' Japan said.
''Er, shouldn't we join forces with Vash?'' England suggested.
''That's right! Vash!'' France exclaimed.
''I'd completely forgotten about him because he was making that 'I am neutral' face, but now that you mention it, he's also an interested party that got dragged into this!'' China said.
''You called?'' a voice said. Switzerland and his adopted sister were standing in the doorway.
''Vash!'' America said.
''Hello, everyone...'' Liechtenstein greeted.
''I went out to look for good weapons and I found some interesting stuff,'' Switzerland said, holding out a bag.
''Those are the weapons I brought! Where did you find them?'' Japan asked.
''They were all stuck in the ground in the swamp in the southwest,'' Switzerland replied.
''In that place!? Thank you, now we've got some of the weapons!'' Japan said.
''Hmph. These are my goods, so you'll have to pay me,'' Switzerland said.
''Haha, greedy as ever!'' America commented.
BANG.
''What the hell!? Stop shooting without warning!'' England snapped.
''You see, Vash, the thing is...'' Japan said. And he proceeded to tell them what was going on.
''What!? So that's what happened!?'' Switzerland exclaimed.
''We've been working for money all this time, thinking it was just a game...'' Liechtenstein said.
''Yes. That is why we need you cooperation,'' Japan said.
''No, wait! Aren't you the cause of all this in the first place!?'' Switzerland demanded.
''Uhg...'' Japan said, bowing his head. He hadn't wanted this to happen, now he had to fix it.
''I'll remember this later,'' Switzerland warned.
''I'll see what I can do about it...'' Japan assured him.
''But if that's the case, I'll do all I can to cooperate. You can take the weapons. I'll go and get the rest of them,'' Switzerland added, more gently this time.
''Vash, I'm coming too,'' Liechtenstein said.
''Thank you. In that case, please take this PHS so we can keep contact,'' Japan said gratefully.
''P-PHS?'' Switzerland asked.
''Yes, PHS. It's a means of communication in this RPG world,'' Japan explained.
''Okay,'' Switzerland said and took the PHS from Japan. He gave Japan the weapons. Then he and his adopted sister walked out.
A/N: Here's the second one of the day! Phew, these are getting longer!
Oh, by the way... Whenever I use ''Emerald sky'', ''blue-emerald'' etc. I am describing my OC's eye color. She has blue-green eyes but they are not aqua or teal...they are a mix of sky blue and emerald green, hence ''Emerald sky''.
