The new information sunk in. No one moved.
That is until Aida kicked them all in the shins. The nations yelped as The two halves of italy giggled. Romano was the first to recover.
"Come on Bastards! We need to get to the hospital. If Austria gets there first it'll be the end of mio fratello without his soul." He growled angrily. He started towards the jeep with Alceo and Aida flanking him on his left and right, respectively. He took his seat in the Passengers side as Canada jumped in the drivers seat, having already been an unfortunate passenger with the Italian just before the war had started. The two halves of a nations soul clambered into the back seats and buckled up.
America, France and England were quick to follow. America's jeep took the lead with Canada's close behind. The land scape remained unchanged until they reached the the Hospital. The front door gaurds lay sprawled on the floor ,bullets had penetrated straight through the heart. Both had been only recently shot. The nations hurried through the door, Alceo clinging to Aida.
The reception staff lay slumped at the desk, blood dripping off the desk and onto the floor. The nations grimanced. They moved silently towards the main doors and found doctors, nurses and medical interns slumped and sprawled across the floor. Blood was splattered everywhere.
"I'll call Vash. We'll need some backup to sre the floor"Canada said gently.
Canada spotted a hospital phone and moved towards it. Lifting it he called Vash's home. He picked up the phone almost instantaneously and mathew explained the situation to him. He heard the Swiss nation drop the phone and run out the door, before Lichenstien lifted the phone and told him Vash was on the way. She hung up and soon Switzerland was at the door panting and catching his breath from his sprint. His rifle was slung across his shoulders and he was out of Uniform. He met up with the group and they moved towards the wards.
The first nation they found up and moving was Poland. He was on the floor in his room, attempting to hide, but his casts were causeing him problems. He gave a startled scream before calming down. His voice was still hoarse and he was still heavily bruised. Canada helped him back into bed and stayed with him as the other nations headed back into the hallway and continued down the hallway.
As they rounded the Corner, a bullet rang out piercing the wall behind them. They took refuge behind an overturned gurney table and peeked over.
Germany and Japan stood at the ready, Japan gripping his Katana and Germany in a standard unarmed wrestling position. Their backs were turned to the newly arrived nations and it looked as though they were tired already. Ludwig had changed into a pair of hospital pajamas, probably to be more modest for Japan. Both of the nations looked tired already and were barely awake to dodge the incoming bullets. China was slumped against the wall and looked like he hand been knocked out from a blow to the back of the head.
Past the above mentioned nations was Austria... and tucked under his arm... was North Italy. The boys arms were covered in blood from where the IV dripps and pipes had been torn out in a hurry. His hair was billowed over his face and the infamous hair curl had grown back.
"If you can get him to stop firing i can get a shot to his chest. It'll knock him out because ive dipped them in a tranquilising substance." Vash whispered to America. Alfred nodded.
"Austria! Roderich, Drop Feliciano! Or we will fire on you!" The American yelled over the gurney. The Nation looked startled before gripping the Italian tighter and pulling him around in front of him to use him as a human/nation shield.
"Just try I dare you" he said, his voice laced with acid as he raised his pistol the Italian's head. The other nations held their breaths. Switzerland lined up a shot that would penetrate the Austrian's side just below the rib and knock him out within seconds.
"Hey where's Aida?" England whispered. Alceo was with them trembling in fear but the mafia member was no where to be seen. Romano just tapped the side of his nose. The Southern Italian peeked over the gurney table.
"Is that Romano? You little ungrateful brat, come out here and join your little brother. Itll be a happy reunion. It'll be like killing two birds with one stone!" Austria giggled at them. The giggle was full of menace and sounded more like a cackle.
Romano paled when Roderich shifted and cocked the gun at his brothers head. The Austrians fingers tightened on the trigger and as he went to pull.. he fell to the ground.
Behind him was Aida , shards of glass hanging from her clothes. In her hands was a small dagger, which she had pulled from her boot. Her face betrayed no emotion as she knelt beside Austria and pulled Feliciano towards herself, lifting him against her chest, bridal style, as she took him back to the ward. Alceo moved from his hiding place and approached China before lightly tapping the side of his face. Yao woke up ,suddenly alert and stood up. Alceo took a step back and pulled him towards Italy's room, stepping over Austia's body.
Whilst this was happening, the other nations stood frozen. America moved first catching the suprised and exhausted Japan as England and France did the same to Germany. After helping the two nations back into the room, Vash took his chains, from out of nowhere and sequred the Austrian nations hands and legs and dragged him along to his jeep.
China had sucessfully managed to get the Iv drips into Italy's arms with the help of the sides of his soul. Once they had finished, China spoke to them.
"So you two are Feliciano's soul halves,aru? You must hurry and join with him again."China said guesturing towards the unconcious Italian. Aida looked towards Feliciano passively as she spoke.
"Unfortunately, Alceo and me are unable to do that. As Feliciano's body was too badly damaged , that body will eventually fade and a new body will be born. Then we will return to him. I dont know where the body will be reborn or when.. But we will feel it and alert you. If you request it we will stay with you until that time." Aida said gently. Yao looked at her ,shocked beyond boundaries. This Nation soul couldnt return to the body. It was unheard of.
"If you do not require our assistance, we will go into a state of suspended animation in The Italians Capital. We will telepathically tell you when the nation has been reborn. But it will be up to you to find him. The body should be reborn in the next 10 years." She continued. China looked towards Alceo, who was chatting to England about something. The Englishmans face was as pale as the Chinaman felt.
" I think its better if we go into suspended animation. That way we will be out of the way of the alive nations." Aida concluded. Alceo must have also concluded with the same thing. Englands eyes went wide.
Alceo wandered over to Aida and took her hand. The both of them. The two halves of a nation soul, looked at them. Then turned towards each other. Put their palms up. Joined their hands together and were enveloped in a bright light. When the nations opened their eyes, Aida and Alceo stood there in priest robes and had one wing each ; Alceo's robe was bright yellow with bright colours splashed on the tips of the fabric. Aida's robe was a deep blue colour with red and moody colours splashed on the tips of the fabric. Aida's wing was black, Alceo's was white. The light and Dark met each other's gaze and nodded.
Ice began to climb up Aida's leg, and along Alceo's wing tip. Neither other nations stood frozen in shock . After what seemed like and age both soul halves were frozen in time, forever together until they awoke...
