HetaliaxNyotalia: Two Worlds Collide Chapter IX
Consequence

In Zurich, Austria, a magnificent yet old castle owned by a former mentor of Ludwig stands beautifully on top of the mountain. Its architecture is Romanesque design and it matches the mood in the afternoon. The castle looks down at the rural town nearby and the sound of the piano was heard, playing a classical tune accompanied by a violin, echoing through the mountain.

Inside of the castle, a gentleman, in an age of no less than forty years old, wears glasses and a Victorian styled outfit, plays the grand piano with a woman, perhaps the same age as the gentleman and wears the same style as he, playing the violin.

"You've played 'The Double Violin Concerto' by Bach quite excellently" Rodereich remarked, his voice has a rich German accent. "It appears that you, Herrin Annaliese Leonskaja (Austria), have a good taste in music."

Rodereich Edelstein is a former mentor and friend of Ludwig Beilshmidt, and often a target of humiliation of his elder brother Gilbert. He has an air of nobility and is very careful in his surroundings. He possesses a musical talent and often plays the grand piano in his spare time.

Annaliese bowed in gratitude. "You too are the same Meister Edelstein," she said, her voice too is soft and swift. "You synchronized your piano skill with my violin perfectly."

Then, the double doors smashed open, revealing an overly hyper Gilbert and Julia, followed by Ludwig and Monika.

"Hello Meister Edelstein" Ludwig responded politely. He wears a deep brown suit with a matching tie and a white dress shirt, which he usual wears during every summit he attends.

"Herrin Leonskaja" Monika greeted. She wears a brown coat with a white long sleeved blouse and a black skirt. She still wears green headphones and a beret.

"Wazzup Ricky!" Gilbert greeted like a gangster. "It looks like you are playing your lame piano with a sexy hot chick over there."

"That's the nerdy Annaliese I was talking about" Julia added teasingly. "She may be beautiful but she is such a smart ass."

"Ok enough you two" Rodereich commanded. "I am here to speak with your brother and his counterpart privately if you please."

"Never!" they responded in unison.

"Julia" Monika warned.

All of the sudden, something hit Gilbert directly to the face; the force was so strong that he flew straight outside of Rodereich's castle and fell down to the forest. Julia's jaw was open and looked directly at the attacker.

The attacker wears a white long sleeved frilled blouse with a black vest, red long dress with a ribbon on the back and boots. She has long flowing brown hair with a yellow flower hairpin and kind emerald eyes. She clenches an iron pan on her hand and a terrifying aura appeared, scaring the wits of Julia and Ludwig flinch in surprise

"Err… Frau Héderváry" Ludwig called, trying to calm down the attacker. "I think you let Gilbert flew down to the nearest village."

Elizabeta blinked. "I'm sorry Ludwig" she apologized. "It's just that Gil insulted Rodereich as usual."

Elizabeta Héderváry is a former wife of Rodereich and a rival of Gilbert. She has a flare for gossip and has a tendency to show up whenever something involves anything yaoi. Even though she and Rodereich were divorced, Elizabeta tries her best to reunite with him.

"Now if you don't mind" Rodereich interrupted, clearly impatient (and intimidated by Elizabeta's frying pan). "Me, Ludwig, and our counterparts, plus Daniel Houdini (Hungary), will discuss some important matters regarding business."

Elizabeta pouted. "Why Daniel?" she questioned. "Why not me? Am I not that important to you?"

"Enough Elizabeta" he said finally. "This is a private discussion. Now, if you please guide Fraulein Jaspers outside before Gilbert starts to burst into the double doors and cause much havoc in the music room."

Elizabeta took one last look and walks away, pulling Julia outside the music room. She glanced at Rodereich before closing the door.


"It looks like we have some sort of a problem here," Rodereich stated gravely.

"What sort of a problem?" Ludwig asked. "Is it the reason why you called me here to Zurich?"

Annaliese nodded. "Yes Herr Beilshmidt. Meister Edelstein requests your presence in Zurich."

"As you can see Ludwig" Rodereich explained. "There is some sort of ominous feeling around us and it greatly disturbs me."

"Oh?" Monika muttered. "Is it that ominous?"

"It seems so" a voice said, the tone is very calm and cool.

Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw a handsome young man sitting at the windowsill. He wears a white long sleeve shirt with a brown vest and a large loose bowtie, green pants and loafers. He has long light brown hair tied into a ponytail and his irresistible green eyes looks back at the group, especially Annaliese.

"Daniel" Annaliese said rather sternly. "I did not expect you to be here. I thought you went to the village to pick up some groceries."

Daniel chuckled. "Of course I did" he answered, showing a plastic bag filled with goods. "I also happen to see a white haired man grumbling all over the street, something about being beaten by a girl."

Ludwig sighed. "Gilbert."

Rodereich cleared his throat. "This is a serious matter," he said. "I know it may be ridiculous but it is true. From what I heard, you told Herr Kirkland to come up a solution to solve this. It is said he is well versed in the arts of magic."

"Yes indeed Meister" Ludwig replied. "He is indeed well versed in magic and I instructed him to find a probable answer to this predicament but I doubt that the Englishman will cooperate because of his 'tsunadere' nature."

Monika bit her lip. "I'm sure Herr Kirkland will come up something," she said. "I don't like this 'ominous' feeling Meister Edelstein is talking."

Annaliese patted her shoulder. "Do not worry Fraulein Monika," she said reassuringly.

"I forgot to mention something," Ludwig said. "How did this problem happen?"

Daniel stood up from the windowsill. "It happened just two weeks ago…"


2 weeks ago, nothing has change in the Edelstein Castle, except the forest around the mountain. The leaves of the trees turned into bright orange and fell towards the ground. Squirrels began to grab acorns and ran to their homes for the upcoming winter. A group of deer ran across the mountains majestically. Autumn then was near.

As usual, Rodereich is playing Beethoven's Fur Elise on his grand piano. His fingers tapped every single black and white key on the piano, producing a melodic resonance across the room. Accompanying him was Annaliese, who was playing the violin. The sound of her violin, every string she strung, made a beautiful sound, synchronizing with Rodereich's piano.

At the sidelines, Elizabeta, then wearing a maid green dress with a white apron and a headscarf, listened the pleasing sound of the two playing while Daniel closes his eyes and leans on the wall; he too hears the gentle melody.

Suddenly, Elizabeta black out and fell from the floor and at the same time, Annaliese drops her violin and fainted. Immediately, Rodereich and Daniel came towards them. Their eyes were closed shut and their expression was painful.

Rodereich held Elizabeta in the arms, shaking her to wake up. "Elizabeta!' he called desperately.

Daniel ran towards Annaliese and holds her by the arm. "Annaliese!" he cried.

Her eyes opened instantly. "Rodereich!" she sobbed, tears fell from her eyes and hugs Rodereich's jacket.

Annaliese woke up with a start.

"What happened?" Rodereich demanded in a worried tone.

"Perhaps we should let them rest for a while Meister Edelstein" Daniel said. "Before we ask them questions."

Rodereich looked at Daniel for a moment and nodded. "Agreed" he said.


Rodereich's bedroom is like a king's quarters: his bed can fit for a king, its pillows are soft and the blankets are made out of fine silk. The wallpapers are red and its design have small golden spades in it. His desk is made out of mahogany and has only a few papers in it, perhaps he was working on something.

Rodereich and Daniel placed Annaliese and Elizabeta on the bed to let them rest.

"Now tell me Elizabeta" Rodereich said. "What made you black out all of the sudden?"

"I do not know" Elizabeta responded, breathing hardly. "But I felt that I was going to die..." A tear fell from her eyes and Rodereich gave her a piece of tissue paper. "Am I going to die Rodereich?"

He shook his head. "No you are not."

"How about you Annaliese?" Daniel asked anxiously.

Annaliese's face darken. "I don't know the answer of your question Daniel" she replied. "I do know is that I felt that I was disappearing in front of you..."

There was silence in the bedroom and Rodereich and Daniel looked at each other in concern. "This is not good" Rodereich. "I'll better call Ludwig from Germany."

"Why?"

"Because he knows when the gender versions of ourselves appeared. I should also call Herr Kirkland because he is the one responsible for bringing you lot into this world."


Back to the present...

"I tried to call Herr Kirkland but it seems he won't answer" Rodereich said.

"I don't see why we won't allow Frau Héderváry to join the discussion though," Ludwig said, realizing that Elizabeta did not join the discussion. "She could elaborate this ominous feeling she felt quite clearly."

"I should apologize to her," Rodereich said in a sad voice. "I should not send her out. I was worried about her. I'm scared that she'll die in front of me."

He took of his eyeglasses and covered his face with his hand. Ludwig approaches him and pats him on the shoulder.

"As Herrin Leonskaja said," Ludwig said. "Do not worry."

Rodereich looked at Ludwig, a hopeful expression appeared in his face. "Thank you friend."

"I'm pretty sure Herr Kirkland has a solution for this" Monika said.

The after effects of the spell are starting! Will after effects be the same to the rest of the Hetalia and Nyotalia cast? Find out at the next chapter of HetaliaxNyotalia: Two Worlds Collide!

*I had the opportunity to correct my mistakes from the previous chapters of the story thanks to the eyes (and comments) of KimchiTangerine. I really appreciate the reviews given to me. If there are any mistakes, I'll gladly fix it anytime.

I also added two last names of famous people I used for Annaliese and Daniel:

- Leonskaja (Elisabeth Leonskaja, Russian pianist who moved to Austria)
