So without further ado, I DON'T OWN HETALIA OR THE CHARACTERS. ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL ONLY THING I OWN ARE THE THINGS I CREATE. (the continents) Please Enjoy!
(Country POV)
Italy was walking, well more like running like his life depended on it, to his brother Romano's house.
"Romano! Ve~ It's me Italy! Open the door!"
"What do you want?" Romano said opening the door. Before he could stop him, Italy was already in the house behind the sofa," What are you doing?"
"Romano! Close the door before they come!"
"Wait someone's following you?!" Romano said actually concerned.
"No, but someone from those scary guys might come in and attack. I have white flags if you want any," Italy said as he took about 30 white flags out of nowhere.
"You pasta loving bastard," Romano said as he closed the door," Only do that in a real emergency, not a moment like this."
"So is that a no on the white flags?"
"Yes, that's a no! Was this the only reason you came over to my house?"
"No," Italy said," I thought that if I was with someone I won't be attacked."
"So why didn't you go to that bastard Germany?"
"He's with Japan planning some defensive training for us," Italy said.
"So you just left?"
"No, they let me leave if I wanted to so I came here," Italy said spinning around.
"You three confuse me so much…." Romano was forced to basically babysit Italy for the day. It was around 12 when the door bell rang.
"Oh great," Romano said as he got up and went to the door," Another visitor, just what I needed." He opened the door," Oh it's you."
"Hey Romano, It's me. Uh, can I come in?"
"Big brother Spain!" Italy came running to the door.
"Hola mi hermono," Spain said.
"Uh, what?"
"Oh, it's hi my brother in Spanish," Spain explained.
"Enough on the Spanish lessons, why are you here?" Romano said impatient.
"Oh yeah, can I come in? I'll explain it." Romano let Spain in the house and all three of them went to sit at the table.
"This better be important," Romano said.
"It is," Spain assured him," I asked around about information regarding those Red Eyes guys. People kept saying that they heard about them in history class for some reason, but there was one person who said there was a rumored secret passage in the Western Alps in South Italy! I did some research and it was rumored to be the Red Eyes' secret base. I found this book on the Western Alps and they do mention a secret base may or may not be in the southern most mountains. I was hoping you would like to come with me and look, Romano, and since Italy's here too he can come as well."
"So it's like a treasure map?" Italy asked.
"In a nutshell, yes. The treasure would be the secret base," Spain said.
"I don't know…" said Romano.
"Come on, it's going to be awesome! Please!" Italy was begging him to come.
"Fine, but if anything happens to me your paying for the medical bill," Romano said to Spain.
"Deal," Spain said and they shook hands on it.
"Ok then, let's go!" Italy said as he practically skipped out the house. Spain and Romano soon followed him. Spain had brought a bag full of supplies for the journey to the secret base that may or may not be real. They arrived at their destination at 2 and started looking.
"Where did they say this stupid thing was?" Romano asked Spain.
"The southernmost mountains," Spain responded," The book said probably the outermost ones." They continued searching in the outermost mountains until….
"This is stupid," Romano complained," I give up!"
"Come on now," Spain said," If you give up no-"He was interrupted by Italy.
"Ve~ Guys I found it!" Italy screamed over to them.
"What?!" Romano said as he and Spain ran over to Italy. Sure enough, Italy had found a door in the mountains with the words The Red Eyes carved into the mountain above the door.
"Let's open it!" Spain said as he opened the door and walked inside," Hey! Toss me a flashlight!" Italy got a flashlight out of the bag and gave it to Spain. He got one for himself and gave one to a shocked looking Romano," Guys come in here!" Italy and Romano walked into the room. They turned on the flash lights to see that the inside of the room was all stone. They walked around inspecting everything. They found torn pieces of cloth, dusty furniture, spider webs, dust bunnies, and most importantly of all…
"Uh guys," Spain said gesturing the others to come in a room with him. They entered and saw a gigantic computer screen on the wall and a keyboard and mouse under it on a large table.
"There's a power switch on the wall!" Romano said going up to the switch on the wall and flipped it. Amazingly, the computer screen turned on.
"Wow!" Italy said in amazement. He wasn't the only one with that expression. Spain quickly went to the keyboard and mouse and searched the computer for files and anything that can give answers. The only thing he found was a file named Oceans. He clicked on it and found a journal entry.
December 18, 1578
They're gone, all of them… I'm the only one here, they can't figure out. They mustn't die. If they do and they are killed, we're done for. If someone finds this, I may or may not be alive, but no matter what protect the
That's when it ends.
"They must have not been able to finish it," Spain suggested.
"Do you think they were killed?" Romano asked.
"Well, let's see," Spain said. He looked for something," Here it is," Spain had managed to find a video of something dating the same day of the journal entry. It only lasted a few seconds," Here we go." He clicked on the video and it started playing. In the video they saw a man running in the building and starting up the computer. He was wearing the Red Eyes cloak. He started typing looking behind him every moment or two. Then an explosion went off behind him. He turned startled and turned back to the computer and saved the file and turned it off. They heard a cold voice say," You're lucky they got away…." Then the video stopped. All three of them were looking at the screen lost for words. Then Romano broke the silence.
"We should probably tell someone about this."
"Yeah," agreed Spain and Italy.
"We can go see Germany! He'll know what to do!" Italy suggested.
"Well call him them," Romano said.
"We can't," Spain told him," We have to cell phone bars out in the mountains. Also it will be easier to tell him in person…"
"Guys let's go. I'm starting to get spooked," Italy said almost trembling. They then left to see the sky starting to cloud.
"We need to hurry before the snow comes," Romano said," We won't be able to tell that bastard the story today, all the flights will be canceled."
"He's right, we'll tell him tomorrow," Spain said," Hey, I guess we'll be sleeping over!"
"Oh great…" Romano said sarcastically.
"Yay! A sleep over!" They then left and got to Romano's house before the snow came down. The time was 8 P.M. They spent a good amount of time at the mountains. All of them were too tired to do anything else so they ate dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow will be the day when they tell about their discovery and will later find out who the journal entry said someone needed to protect.
(Continent POV)
It was the middle of the night at North America's place. Antarctic decided to sleep over and was sleeping in the guest bedroom while North America slept in his room which was right next to it. It was around 2 when he was awoken to a startling noise. CRASH
"What the!?" North America woke up and nearly fell out of his bed. He thought it was his imagination and was about to go to bed again until… CRASH. He put on his glasses and got up. He walked to the door of the guest room.
"Antarctica… uh, you o-"He was stopped by a rouge flying light bulb that came straight to his face. He dodged it barely.
"Antarctica wha-"he dodged the same light bulb that did a 180 and tried to hit him again. He ran into the room seeing Antarctica in her bed like nothing was wrong but she was somehow making the objects in the room fly all over the place," Antarctica! Wake up!" North America fought his way to her and tried to shake her awake. Her eyes shot open and as soon as they did all the objects fell to the floor. She shot up.
"W-what? Where are w-we?" She asked out of breath.
"We're at my house. You kind of somehow did this…" He looked at the damage to the room. Pillows were everywhere light bulbs were shattered, and cloth from the curtains was everywhere.
"I-I did?"
"Uh, yeah." She looked down at her hands then said something.
"I-I'm so sorry. I-I…" she looked terrified.
"Hey don't worry, when we had to raise the two countries they made more of a mess," he suddenly realized the look on her face," What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing."
"You're not telling the truth." Antarctica thought for a moment but then realized that she couldn't lie any longer.
"Ok, the past few weeks I've been having the same dream over and over again. I guess today I was mad that it came back."
"What is it about?"
"Well I'm just sitting down and staring into the mist waiting, and then someone comes out wearing a cloak that belongs to the Red Eyes. They remove it and I just stare. I don't see their face though. It always frustrated me that I can never find out who they are or what the dream meant."
"Well it has to do something with the Red Eyes," North America said," Um, well for now we have to find a new place for you to sleep."
"Oh yeah, sorry about that again," Antarctica told him.
"It's ok, don't worry." Antarctica then decided to sleep on the sofa so of this happened again she wouldn't throw him across the room. The rest of the night went by normally. That morning North America was grateful to see that the same incident didn't happen again.
"Morning, sleepyhead," Antarctica said making North America jump. She wasn't asleep on the couch, she was already awake and dressed standing in the kitchen.
"Don't scare me like that!" North America said. She laughed a little.
"I've got something planned today for us. You better start getting dressed."
"Wait, what?" She never said anything about this to him.
"Hurry up!"
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see, now get dressed!" He did as he was told and came back fully dressed.
"Ok then Ms. Secret, where are we going and why?" he asked.
"We are going to the Statue of Liberty and because I never get to have a day with you like this on a regular basis." North America knew that the reason why was a lie.
"You really want me to get out of the house, don't you?"
"Ok you caught me, but that wasn't entirely a lie." North America barely gets out of his house. He's always attached to his TV. He's either playing video games or watching TV.
"Ok then when do we leave?"
"Now," Antarctica said dragging him out the house. They made their way to New York. It took them about an hour since North America's house is only about a mile or two from New York and they had to walk there since they have no money on them. They arrived in the city and made their way to Liberty Island. They were about to board the ferry to the island when North America asked Antarctica something.
"Hey sis, do you think this is safe? I mean I'm not afraid of drowning, but the whole thing with the," he lowered his voice to a whisper," countries. You know what Elisabeth said."
"Yeah I know, but the US is a huge country. What's the chance of us running into him here?" However when they got there they saw the blonde haired country from the meeting and sure enough there he was.
"Oh my God I hate my big fat mouth!"
"I think it'll be ok. Just don't let him see you and we should be fine. Hey get the newspaper!" he picked up a newspaper," If he gets too close then we just pretend we're reading it."
"Ok, I guess," Antarctica said looking over at them. She was wondering why they were there, especially the blonde. She knew he wasn't American or Canadian. She couldn't remember the name of the country though. So she decided to do something stupid.
"Hey," she turned to her brother," I know this is stupid but I want to know who that country is with him. I need the newspaper."
"Sis," he said," sometimes I like what you're thinking!" The two of them decided to go sit on the bench right next to the place where the two were talking. They pulled up the newspaper and pretended to read. They listened in on their quiet conversation.
"So England, dude," the one with blonde hair now known to them as England snapped back into consciousness.
"Uh, what?"
"I was saying that maybe those guys at the meeting probably got away by using their psychic power things."
"Oh yeah, I forgot."
"What were you talking to you imaginary friends? Oh wait did they see stuff that day too?" America said laughing.
"Ok shut up, and I heard from somewhere that they escaped via white magic. If I just knew where the spell was casted I could track down who did it." North America (Adam) and Antarctica (Jezebel) exchanged worried looks.
"Maybe they were in the laundry room?" America suggested.
"Possibly, we'll have to check tomorrow," England said. Adam and Jezebel looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking. They would have to tell Europe (Elisabeth) what they were going to do as soon as the ferry went back. However, now an announcer was on the intercom.
"We will now be having the history of the Statue of Liberty I front of the statue. Everyone is asked to come."
"Come on sis we'll worry about them later," Adam said. They made their way to the statue. There was a lady wearing what looked like a pilot's outfit standing on a podium.
"May I have everyone's attention," she said. The whole crowd became quiet," Good, now we can began." She then went on a long conversation on the history of the Statue of Liberty. Then in the middle of it she said," Oh, another group is arriving," she said pointing at the ferry entrance," They are early and will be returning later. No one is allowed on the ship." Jezebel thought to herself.
"Hey bro," she began," Do you want to sneak on the ferry, ride back and then teleport to Elisabeth's house?"
"Three letters, Y, E, S." They both were too concerned about the countries finding out about them to stay any longer. Well actually they were both bored. I mean they didn't mind learning about the statue, but when they go over facts they've known for years for 30 minutes they wanted to leave.
"Ok so when the captain isn't looking, we run onto the boat and hide. When we get back to New York we sneak out. Got it?" Jezebel (Who I can now call Antarctica) told North America.
"Yep," he responded.
"Three, two, one, now!" The two of them jumped into the boat when the captain wasn't looking and were now hiding where no one could see them. The ferry's engine started and the boat started to move back to New York. After what felt like 10 billion years, which was actually 10 minutes, the boat finally stopped. Then after the captain got off of the boat, the two of them snuck out and no one saw them. They then went into a dark alleyway and took out the powder. They made sure there was no way they could be linked to the white dust blob of something on the side of a building caused by the powder. Antarctica threw the powder on the ground and then the next thing they knew they were at Europe's house.
"What in the world are you here for!?" Europe said to them as they turned around to see her on the bottom step of the steps leading to the porch of her house.
"Well," Antarctica began. They then told Europe the whole story of them eavesdropping on the two countries and their plan of figuring out how they teleported away when they were spying on them.
"Well first I am surprised that you did a reckless thing like eavesdrop on them, but you did find out information that will most likely save us from a sticky situation. Now you two will come with me to clean up that mess that I left behind in the laundry room," Europe said. The "mess" she was talking about was referring to the traces of magic left behind when someone uses it. The only way to see this is if you perform a spell to do so. Europe apparated them to the window outside of the laundry room. They made sure that no one was near or in the laundry room when they entered. Luckily no one was even in the building. They went into the laundry room and watched Europe.
"Ok then, stand back," she told Antarctica and North America," Reversiousious magiciousious!" At once the whole room was enveloped by a white light. After the light went away Europe said," Showcase magic!" Like before the whole room was filled with a light. Again nothing happened," Good," Europe said," If the first spell didn't work, the second one would have shown the magic traces. Well then our job is done. Let's go."
"Uh, wait," Antarctica said," If when you cast a spell it leaves behind a magic trace, shouldn't the second and first spell give off a trace?"
"Ah," Europe said," Those two spells are the only ones that don't."
"Oh." The three of them then left the room and apparated back in Europe's house.
"Well that was an interesting day," North America said.
"Ok I want you two to know something," Europe said," I am asking you to please never eavesdrop on the countries again."
"Ok," they both said in unison.
"I guess I should get going home," Antarctica said.
"Do you want me to apparate you home?" Europe asked.
"No thank you," Antarctica said," I've already booked a flight home."
"Ok then, bye sweetheart," Europe and North America waved goodbye to Antarctica as she walked out the door. Little did they know that when she got home, the Red Eyes' plan will go into action. This will be the beginning of the meeting between the countries, continents, and the… well… you'll see next chapter.
Yep, that just happened, whatever it was. So I should probably say what's going to happen next chapter. Chapter 8 is going to follow the Red Eyes. It is going to reveal something big about them. That's really all I can say. Just stay tuned and it will make sense when it happens. Ok guys see you for Chapter 8, it's going to be interesting. Also I am planning on updating 2 times a week. I have, at this point, chapters 9 through 14 already typed so I might as well.
