Chapter 9 Unknown Power … Intruders?


How easy it was for Dark Japan to not only have America and his brother Canada under his control, but for Russia, a powerful nation, to join his side. However, Dark Japan was still not content. America's guardian Alexander had used his power to transport himself from the void to help England and the other nations to find and save America. To make things worse, Prussia had awakened the last guardian Mew, and that, made Dark Japan really furious. He must find a way to prevent the nations from finding the "real" America who is locked inside, but how can he do that so that they'll never be able reach to him? How can he make England's life so miserable for his younger brother?

Am I doing something wrong? Dark Japan thought walking to the deepest chambers of the castle. What kind of special power other than his guardian that America is hiding from me? Why can't I sense it?

"My lord Dark Japan," the bat creature said bowing to his master. "Alexander has escape from the void. However, I was able to put this 'America' to sleep as soon as-"

The creature wasn't able to continue as Dark Japan unsheathed his dark katana and pinned the bat creature through the cellar door. Letting out a sickly grin, he watched the dark blood pouring out of the bat's chest and through his blade.

"I wanted both America AND Alexander contained behind that door! Why can't you follow simple orders? "

The bat creature screeched in agonizing pain as Dark Japan twisted his katana deeply into its wound.

"OKAY! OKAY! Forgive me my lord! I'll capture Alexander once again! I'll do it! Please make it stop!"

"Do not fail me again," Dark Japan demanded pulling his katana from the creature. "If I don't see you return WITH Alexander, you'll know what I do with servants that don't follow my orders." The creature watched in horror as Dark Japan licked the dark blood off of his sword.

"Of course my lord. I'll bring him back to you. But, what are you going to do with this America?"

Ignoring the question, Dark Japan opened a large cellar door to meet with the 'sleeping' nation. Once he entered to the void, countless memories of America were scattered all over the void. He listened to the cries of pain and agony from the nation's memories which was music to his ears. He finally located the sleeping nation bounded in dark chains which contained ERROR. At least he did SOMETHING to prevent the nation from escaping, he thought walking towards the 'sleeping' nation. Carefully, Dark Japan placed his hand gently on America's chest. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on finding out what kind of power that America has inside. Suddenly, he found himself in an unknown area and front of him lies a huge gate already locked.

Dark Japan chuckled with delight. "Well, Well. What do you have hiding in there America?" Curious, Dark Japan walked through the bars of the gate and to his surprise, he found a beast, resembling of a blue phoenix, bounded with thick and sturdy chains. My, what enormous power that beast has inside of him. Why would Alexander seal a monster inside of this "weak" and "pathetic" nation?

Suddenly, it hit him. A most devious and evil plan. A plan that would not only torture America, but his people from the real world as well. It was perfect. He opened his eyes again and he returned from the void.

"Oh dear! My lord! You're back," the bat creature said, trembling with fear.

Dark Japan walked to the creature and handed it a dark blue dagger. "Change of plans for Dark Alexander. I want you to give this dagger to one of the nations or even Prussia's guardian. Once they use this dagger, Dark Alexander will be sealed inside of this weapon and transformed to ERROR. His real soul will return to his body."

"Master! Have you gone mad? You're letting this nation get his body back?"

"Keep your mouth shut! I went inside of America's heart and an unknown beast is chained inside of a huge gate. If I released him from the void, then both the beast and America will disappear. I need his real body so I control the beast. Now, GO!"

Quickly, the bat creature grabbed the dagger from Dark Japan and flew away from his presence.

Soon. Everything will be in place.


Fervency Town

"Lord Aadan! We have intruders in our mist!" one of the town's guard exclaimed, running up to him.

"Intruders?" Aadan asked. "How many?"

"Two my lord. Shall we lock them away in the dungeon?"

"That won't be necessary. I'll take a look at those intruders."

Italy watched as Aadan and his guardian Raven follow one of the town's guard. He already had enough of Germany's nagging and torture trainings from him so he decided to follow the trio. To his surprise, the villagers were already at the town gate while the guards already captured the intruders. Curious, Italy squeezed through a large crowd and to his surprise, he figured out right away, even if their clothes are different, that they're not intruders.

Italy pounced right at the intruders for a big hug. "ROMANO! BIG BROTHER SPAIN! I can't believe it!"

"Get off me you stupid brother!" Romano exclaimed.

"Italy! I'm glad you're okay!" Spain said with excitement.

Aadan walked up to Italy confused. "Um … do you know these people?"

"I know them. This is my big brother Romano and big brother Spain. They're not intruders and they don't mean any harm."

Italy watched as the villagers went back to repair their homes while Aadan walked up to Romano and extend his hand.

"The name's Aadan. Germany's guardian. Welcom-"

"Are you serious?" Romano interrupted. "That potato freak is here as well"?

"Of course. Would you like to meet him?"

Romano started to shake in fear after hearing that Germany was already here. "Um … no thanks, but hey Italy. I hope you don't mind introducing me to your 'girlfriend' behind you."

Startled, Italy turned around to find Raven suddenly behind him.

"Name's Raven. Nice to meet you Romano. Oh, you must be Spain as well."

Spain couldn't reply while he was staring at her. "Don't mind him for some strange reason," Romano said extending his hand to Raven. " I am HONORED to meet a cute girl like you."

Just when Raven touched Romano's hand, the same unknown force from before pulled Raven to another dimension.

It's happening again!

Suddenly, everything started to burn and decay. To her horror, Raven could no longer hear the songs sung from the birds, but screams of terror from the villagers. Children crying for their parents while trying to get away from the burning flames. Houses, inns, and other buildings that Raven saw before were burning as well followed by a loud howl and roar.

What's happening? This is a nightmare! Who could've done this? OH NO! The gate!

Filled with fear, Raven ran to the huge gate, but instead the beautiful designs from before, the gate was torn and ripped apart. Suddenly, Raven felt hot air blowing behind her. When she turned around, she was face to face with a wolf monster.

Who are you?

"My name is Raven."

That is not your name. Who are you?

"What are you talking about you monster? That is my name! Answer me! Why are you destroying my home?"

Your home? You can't do anything about it. This is your memory. I'll ask you again … who are you? What is your real name?

"I ... I don't know."

Then, why are you wasting my time?


A/N- I am so sorry for the HUGE delay. I was finished with college and just as soon as I was going to type chapter 9 … my mind went blank (curse you college).

*ahem* anyways, I post a new fanfic call "Time is Irrelevant" (a Kingdom Hearts fanfic). So if anyone is a kingdom hearts fan, feel free to read the prologue.
