Thanks to lovebxb for setting this on alert! And thanks for all the reviews too!

evemiliana: Yep! Have to have some Nekotalia in here too. XD But no worries! I have an awesome plan for him soon~. ;)
Lady-Pyrien: I knows! Poor Toni! But he's not really turned against him..it's..nevermind. I have no clue how to explain it. =_=; But yep! I'll probably have the prediction thing soon. ^_^
Living In Surreality: Thanks! Glad you like it and that the characters sound like how their supposed to! And I really wanna see that poster! XD
kirin-saga: Well, I didn't say how Ivan caught him…because I don't know that either. ^_^; But the reason why he left Toni and how he's finding everybody is going to be explained in the chapter after this one! I didn't really plan out how they met Toni…maybe I can make a chapter about that later… But maybe his fur type could be like a Ragdoll too! They're cute. ^_^ And I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those fairies! XD
Don't own Hetalia. I tried to get it Boss Boxer told me I'm not allowed to because it's too much money to buy and I'm supposed to buy her hamburgers.
OH! And this chapter's more in Antonio's POV since Lovino's…well…yeah…
Antonio still didn't know what to do..Actually all he was able to do at that moment was just sitting there clinging to Gilbert's shirt sobbing.
"Toni! Man up and find him already! All this crying is really unawesome!" Gilbert told him gently forcing him to look up at all of them.
But Antonio only looked back down at the ground and mumbled, "B-But…Lovi….he's…."
This time it was Feliciano who spoke up as he got right in front of Antonio and forced him to look back up again. "I-I know that fratello leaving really hurts you…" He started off shakily but then his voice picked up strength, "But from how I saw fratello acting around you he really does care about you. You seem to be just as important to fratello as I am to him, he seems really happy here now even if he doesn't want to show it to anyone, so I don't think he would ever choose to leave you. Something..didn't feel right when I saw him walking away. I don't know what it is but I really don't like it…" When Feliciano finished talking he just stood there looking Antonio in the eye with a strong, proud glint that showed that Lovino wasn't the only dragon around them. "Fratello needs you right now. He needs us."
Then a sound of clapping sounded from behind them. "Very impressive speech. Now that the blasted fairy is feeling better can we decide what we need to do?"
Antonio was the first one to speak up. "Arthur..? What are you doing here?"
"Trying to fix this whole bloody mess." Arthur replied with a scoff. Then he looked over to his side and yelled, "Alfred! Get your arse over here right now!"
Then there was a loud whine that came out of the creek near the house and, "AWW! But Iggy! I wanted to rest for a while! Almost be charbroiled really takes it out of a guy!"
"I don't care! Now get over here right this instant young man!"
"fine…" Alfred pouted as he stood up and stepped out of the creek. "Slave driver.." He muttered under his breath as he walked over to the group.
"What was that…?" Arthur asked with a glare as Alfred let out a slight squeak and said, "N-Nothing Iggy!"
"Much better." Arthur said with a slight nod then he turned back and looked at Antonio. "But Alfred just had something very interesting happen that I think you all will want to hear about. You can start at anytime Alfred."
"Okay Iggy!" Alfred said with a chirp and ignoring Arthur's yell about calling him Iggy. "Well I was getting our store ready for the new work day by painting it and making it look all heroic and awesome. And of course I used red, white, and blue because those are the best colors ever! Every hero should use those-" "ALFRED! GET TO THE POINT!" "Fine…anyway. What Iggy wants me to tell you guys around is the 'guests' I had come in when I done painting. But you probably already know…"
"L-Lovi..It was Lovi wasn't it!" Antonio blurted out as he stared at Alfred with wide eyes. "What happened! Is he okay! Is that stupid Russian still with him?"
"Dude chill!" Alfred said as he held up his hands in a mock surrender. "I'm getting there! ANYWAY, Lovino was acting really weird, like he was that guy's puppet or something, doing every single thing he wanted. That Russian freak told him to go after me which he started trying to do all crazy-like. But I got away since I snuck around to the back of the store and jumped into the canal and swam away. Iggy found me and told me to swim all the way here and meet up with all of you."
They all sat in silence until Arthur perked up and said, "Now you have it. From what Alfred told me about how Lovino looked and acted I believe that there is one extremely old and rare spell that might be the cause...but-"
"Elizabeta! Where are you! Elizabeta!"
"Whoa! What the heck Specs! What are you going on about now?" Gilbert asked in shock when Rodriech ran up to all of them looking scared and stressed.
"I-It's Elizabeta! S-She's gone!" He panted and almost fell before Ludwig caught him and held him up.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Ludwig asked as he shifted Rodriech around so he could hold onto him comfortably.
Rodriech nodded then said, "I don't know exactly what happened. But when I got back to the restaurant I saw her unconscious with two men carrying her off. One of them was just walking next to the other one, but he was tall and wearing a scarf. The man who was carrying Elizabeta had on a black coat with the hood up so I couldn't see the back of his head, but I did see part of a hair curl sticking up on the right side."
When Rodriech had said that they all froze. "A hair curl..on the…right side?"
!~!~!~!~!
"Ugh…" Elizabeta groaned as she sat up. But as she tried to move her leg she felt a heavy weight on it, looking down she saw that there was a large chain tying her to the bed she was on.
"So you're awake da?" She heard as she whipped her head up to look at her kidnapper. "What does it matter to you? And why did you take me?" She spat at Ivan who looked down at her with a large smile and Lovino standing by his side, still with a blank expression.
Ivan only laughed and said, "I thought that an oracle would know that. But I guess even if your predictions aren't one hundred percent correct you'll be useful in your own way da?"
H-He knows I'm an oracle! She thought as she glared at Ivan trying to not panic. Then she looked over at Lovino and gasped, "Why is he here? What did you do to him?"
Ivan laughed again and laid his hand on Lovino's shoulder. "All I did was do some behavior modifications. Dragons are such a unruly and stubborn bunch that it's refreshing to have one be so calm and obedient. And he did such a nice job capturing you…but it's a shame that annoying merman had to escape my grasp…"
"calm…obedient…" Elizabeta muttered as she tried to piece it together, then her eyes widened and she yelled, "You're controlling him you bastard! Probably with that glove you're wearing right now! Let him go this instant!"
"Hmm…." Ivan muttered as he stood there with a thoughtful look for a second. "Nyet. I don't think I will. I like him so much better like this. He's so much more enjoyable when he's not yelling or trying to set me on fire. With him I'll be able to rebuild my zoo and make it much more bigger and better than it was before. So what does it matter if I'm in control of one little dragon? Dragons are hated anyway so this is better for him. If he could show emotion right now I'm sure he would be very happy about this~."
"You deserve to be set on fire…" Elizabeta growled and glared at Ivan. "Just you watch, all this is going to backfire on you. I don't need to be an oracle to know that. And when it does all I'm going to do is laugh at your failure."
"That's the spirit da? But I won't lose anytime soon~." Then Ivan turned to leave but stopped and looked at Lovino. "Keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn't try to leave or do anything, if she does subdue her." Then he smiled at Lovino's quick nod and left the room.
Elizabeta kept glaring at Ivan as he left but when he was gone she let out a sigh. Then she threw a quick glance at Lovino who was leaning against the wall next to the door watching her with his glazed eyes. "I'm sorry this happened to you…I should have foreseen it…" She murmured looking down at the quilt on the bed. "I just hope that something or someone can fix this soon…" Then small tears pricked her eyes. "And I'm sorry that I can't see you Rodriech..please be safe…"
!~!~!~!~!
"Well..judging from what Rodriech said. We can assume that it was Lovino who carried Elizabeta off. But the question is where did Ivan take both him and Elizabeta."
"Wow, what gave that away Iggy?" Alfred cut in with a laugh.
"BELT UP!" Arthur screeched at him. Then he took out a pad of paper and quickly started writing something down.
"Ve~ what are you doing?" Feliciano asked looked confused.
"I'm writing a letter to Kiku and Yao warning them about what Ivan's doing and probably planning." Arthur simply replied before he put the letter in an envelope and held it up. Then it flew up into the air by itself for a second before disappearing. "My familiar Flying Mint Bunny is delivering it for me. But only I can see her since I'm her master." Arthur explained after seeing the confused/freaked out looks he just got.
"Oh..but…what were you saying before? The thing about the rare spell?" Antonio asked.
Arthur stared back puzzled for a second before he remembered. "Ah! That! Well, I supposed it will be better if we all go and sit down. Explaining it will take a while."
When they all had settled down in some way on the front porch Arthur continued, "It start with this spell is so ancient that a majority of magic users don't even know it even existed much less how to perform it. I wouldn't have known about it either unless my grandfather had taught me, but he didn't teach me so I could do it, he taught me so I can know NOT to use it." Then he stopped for a second to take a quick sip of water. "Although it's frowned upon now but at one time when humankind and magic were very new and young a small group called potentia scrutatores [power searchers] set out to discover a way to control one of the most ancient and powerful creatures found in the natural world. I assume you all know what I'm referring to right?" He asked looking around.
"Si..dragons. They wanted to find a way to control dragons." Feliciano said softly as he held onto Ludwig's arm for comfort.
"Exactly." Arthur nodded. "The spell worked at first but dragon magic is wild and untamable so it fought against the potentia scrutatores' magic every step of the way. Most of them soon gave up on trying to control dragons except for a select few who worked over and over again to perfect their spell. Seeing how Lovino hasn't broken through Ivan's control means that Ivan's most likely a descendent of one of those few who remained…"
"So..can we bring Lovi back…?" Antonio tentatively asked, not sure what he would do if Arthur told him they couldn't.
"Maybe…" Arthur said as he started thinking. "But it will be impossible to free him while he's in his human form. The spell was made to control dragons in their true form and a human is just too weak to fight it off. And Ivan probably already knows this so he will refrain from allowing Lovino to return to his true form unless he absolutely has to."
"si…" Feliciano mumbled as he and Antonio looked down at the ground. "I understand." Then Ludwig put his arm around Feliciano and said, "Feliciano, Arthur said that it's impossible with your bruder in his human form, but he never said it was completely impossible."
"Yeah! All we need to do is come up with a kickass awesome plan to get Toni's Lovi back!" Gilbert announced as he jumped up with a fist pump and the bird on his head gave a loud chirp. "Just you watch us! We'll kick that Russian guy's ass so much he'll be begging for mercy!"
"Ve~ grazie!" Feliciano chirped as he tightly hugged Ludwig.
"Si! Gracias!" Antonio chirped smiling brightly. "So..how do we get Lovi back?"
YEAH! GO GUYS GO! Kick that mean Ivan's butt! XD
Review please! Tell me what ya think!
