A/N: So yeah...I'm sorry I wasn't able to update yesterday, twas with a friend who was leaving for the US. ;~; I'm very upset.

This is still a bit...shorter than norm, so please forgive me, . I'm busy with Chem and History.

I'm in a bit of a hurry so I'll keep this note short! :3

Neeky-chan: Elzbieta is in this one~ *winks* boy, you might get surprised to what happened to her ufufufufu~

Quiet Harmony: Ahaha~ Mazu is unexpected! :D Antarctica indeed doesn't have children, that's why she has the most...apprentices if you will. All of those who are allowed to enter the Antarctica base are mostly personally trained by Antarctica herself. And they do look up to Baako now, makes you wonder what Baako told them eh? *winks*

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia: Axis Powers, only the story line and some of the OC characters.

Chapter 9: Deep Within The Antarctica Base.

Magnus

I SWEAR IT WAS THE SAME GIRL!

I recognized those curls, those eyes, that figure even if she was wearing a maid outfit.

I noticed a girl walk towards my direction.

She wore a red dress that ended to her knees in a modest manner- but it hugged her figure just right.

A smirk spread on my lips I gulped down my beer and met her halfway.

I heard Norge sigh at me.

"Hi there." I said smoothly, my hands trailing down her waist.

"Hi~" she giggled.

And we proceeded to flirt the entire time.

I think it was the first time that a girl interests me so much.

All we did was flirt.

No making out, or kissing.

The only kiss I got from her was a kiss on the cheek before she was dragged away by her friends.

I had this feeling I've met her before though.

I shut my eyes, ignoring the current speaker- who was he anyways?

I don't recognize him…

I rubbed my temples…

It was one of those casual meetings between Berwald, Tino, Lukas, Emil and I.

We were meeting up at Tino's place.

My eyes snapped open and I looked at Vivaldi.

We had entered one of the cafes that Tino suggested would be the meeting place.

Tino and Berwarld were already there.

The only other person in the entire shop was a girl sitting there, muttering to herself.

She had black curls that went just a bit pass her shoulders, and her eyes were ebony green.

She was dressed in a professional manner, wearing a red shawl, black slacks, long black gloves, red boots and a single red rose in her thick hair.

She didn't look up as we passed by like what most would do.

She was entirely concentrated on her iPhone.

When we sat down we got the menu and ordered quickly.

I didn't really pay attention as Tino talked to Emil, both Berwald and Lukas were quiet.

I heard the door jingle and I turned curiously.

There was a girl with long raven hair that went past her waist to her hips, her eyes were really dark and she had a beauty mark at the corner of her left eye.

She was dressed in a brown fur trimmed jacket, she wore a black turtleneck under her jacket, she had brown laced gloves, black leggings tucked into brown stiletto boots that had gold butterfly buttons.

Resting heavily on her collarbone was a golden chain that's pendant was that of a…kraken..?

She noticed my gaze and met mine evenly before her eyes slid outside and she stared there for a few minutes as she sat in front of the girl in red who ignored her.

I followed her stare and found nothing.

"Hey…Norge." I whispered.

Norge turned to me- I could tell he was annoyed, I mean I've known him since like…FOREVER!

Never thought about it.

How long we've actually been friends.

Hm.

Are we even..friends?

"Are your…friends following us?" I asked.

Norge raised a brow, "They are…right there." He jerked his chin in the direction the girl in brown was still staring at.

"Mazu, you've come." The girl in red breathed heavily finally speaking.

The girl-Mazu- looked at the girl in red…her eyes traveling to mines so I quickly looked away.

"How are you doing..?"

"I will get my operation in a few months time, and I have found a replacement." Mazu was quick and straight to the point.

But I don't understand…

"Can she…do what you do?" I looked at them from the edge of my eye and noticed that Mazu was looking at Norge's…friends.

"She can only hear and sense them, not like me." Mazu shook her head.

"Is she coming?"

"Hukluban is bringing her…it might be best if we meet with them elsewhere." Mazu's eyes suddenly flashed to me. "We have ears here."

Then without a word the girl soundlessly stood up and gracefully exited the room.

The girl in red was still, before she stood and left some money at the table before following Mazu.

That was definitely Vivaldi.

Just younger.

My gaze lingers on her. She looked up, looking curious as to why I was staring before looking down at her hands.

?

I sneeze again.

…

I was currently walking down the hall way of one of the more secure areas in the Antarctica facility.

Why do I keep sneezing?

Anyways...

I brushed back some of my long black hair.

I wasn't used to walking again, but I eventually will.

I laughed airily.

Some of the girls were surprised when I walked back into room no longer handicapped.

I entered a particular room where one of our top interrogators stood.

She had brown hair, and hazel eyes.

Llan.

Codename: Manggagaway.

"Manggagaway." I greeted, as I took out a chocolate lollipop.

"Hello Mazu~" she smiled at me cheerfully.

"Has she spoken?" I asked lightly as I stood beside her.

Llan's eyes narrow.

"Sadly no…but eventually…she will break." A sadistic smirk appeared on her face and I shook my head. "All the more fun!~"

"I'm going in." I said softly- handing Llan a vanilla flavored lollipop.

She took it from me enthusiastically and waved for me to go in.

I entered the large and practically bare room.

On the floor were markings- most people would consider weird but for those who studied and dabbled a bit in the dark arts would identify the curse.

At the center of the room sat an obviously female figure.

She was chained to the chair and she had long stopped struggling.

She had long silvery-blonde hair and I knew if I took of her blindfold I would see her golden eyes.

Her used to be pretty Victorian like dress soiled, and dirtied by the methods Llan had used to get her to talk.

I licked my chocolate lollipop.

"My, my, my…how the mighty have fallen…" I purred quietly in her ear, I pulled back quickly as she struggled suddenly trying to lash out.

"YOU!" she seethed.

I smiled calmly and I walked behind her to untie the blindfold and walked full circle, meeting her furious golden eyes with my dark calm gaze.

She snarled at me.

"How animalistic of you~" I smiled, my chin resting on my hand, the other holding the chocolate lollipop.

"RELEASE ME AT ONCE!"

"You threatened the safety of who I vowed my entire being too, you think I'll let you go…?" I asked her calmly. "Never, not when you tried to lay a hand on the nations." I stated- the lollipop pressed against my mouth.

She narrowed her eyes to me.

"I don't understand you! How could you vow yourself…to a couple of freaks-?"

My eyes narrowed, my patience wearing thin.

I dropped the lollipop.

Then, I slapped her.

Blood dribbled down her chin.

She slowly turned to me.

Her negative feelings showing in her eyes.

Such a disgusting color.

"We could do this the easy way, or the hard way." I stared coldly. "You could give me the information we need, and we can send you to the false haven where you can enjoy the rest of your miserable life," I fluidly pulled out my Chinese butterfly sword. "Or, we'll have to use more torturous means…you've made us all quite impatient, and while I applaud you for such a feat…it's time we finished things…"

I glanced over my shoulder to the one way window, I know Llan was watching.

I waved my hand and used hand signs.

The woman in front of me looked confused.

Llan entered, smirking at her and handed me a small pouch before walking a few feet away from me.

I opened the pouch and found what I was looking for.

"Tell me…what do you think your chair is made of?"

"Metal." She answered, her brows furrowing.

"Wrong~" I sang. I pulled out a bottle filled with golden liquid.

I started to pour it around her, and on her chair.

"What the hell are you doing?" she hissed, looking warily at the liquid.

Luckily, it was scentless.

I pulled out a matchstick and lit it.

Fire danced.

Her eyes widened, and she leaned back…realizing what was on her skin, dress, chair and around her.

I laughed- letting the inner sadist out.

I dropped the stick and a circle around her burst into large flames.

She shrieked.

I could hear Llan giggle.

"What will it be now…Elz-bie-ta?" I mocked.

I lit another matchstick.

Her scream echoed throughout the base- I was sure of that.

Hazen

My head snapped towards the window.

I swear I heard someone scream…

I looked at my fellow AOS students and saw that they didn't tense.

I must have been hearing things.

I shook my head as I finished serving Canada with a smile on my face.

Poor Matthew…he needed more appreciation.

I glanced again out of the window.

I was just about to look away when a familiar figure in black and gray appeared on one of the tree branches.

She was only there for a few seconds before she disappeared.

A smirk almost made it's way to my mouth.

Paige has arrived huh…

….

…

….

As soon as I exited the meeting room for break Paige was waiting for us outside, dressed professionally.

She wore a halter top and a cream skirt that's back hem dipped back and she wore black platform heels.

On her shoulder was a cream Chanel bag, and on her right ring finger was a beautiful large cream stone.

Her long hair was brushed neatly- for once- and tied in a high ponytail.

She wore Chanel shades.

Jeez, this woman was obsessed.

With Chanel I mean.

"Paigey!" I glomped the younger but much taller girl.

I'm 5'2" and she was like, 5'8"!

She's much taller, especially when she wears heels!

"Why are you so tall?" I scowled and Paige laughed at me.

"Paige!" Ysabela ran up beside me, smiling up at the girl.

I then realize that Ysabela was like- 2 inches taller than me.

"Wait, why are you two taller than me?" I asked.

"You didn't know?" Ysabela giggled.

"Shut it Bela!" I try to slap her but she dodges.

"Joy, so your here." Vivaldi says dryly.

"Hello Vivaldi." Paige greet warmly.

"Oh, hey Paige!" Ileana walks over smiling rather brightly. Sam was with her.

If I was correct, Paige and Sam have never met.

Venetia walks over grinning.

"Hey Paige, it's been awhile hasn't it?"

Paige nods.

"How have you been?" Paige asks.

"Good, good." Venetia smiles, twirling a loose strand of her vivid red hair.

"Well, well, well~ Who is this lovely lady?" We all froze, Paige's eyes were wide.

It was Francis.

Of course it was.

Paige had a large, and unhealthy crush on this man…

Jeez.

Evangeline

I hated them.

Just because they were new, that didn't mean they get to steal the attention of the Masters.

I had been around way longer.

My hand clenched into a fist as I narrowed my eyes to the new maids.

They'll be gone soon.

And I'll have the attention again.

That's what the beautiful woman told me a few months ago.

Students of the Academy are the worst.

I turn my back on them and walk away.

They'll be gone soon.

And I can have the nations to myself again.

When the world is rid of them.

Those...those b*tches...

Kara

A scream sounded in the entire base.

Must be one of the prisoners...

I took the paper that had just printed.

Evangeline Moore huh?

Looks like you were lied too if you think that the person your siding with will let you keep the nations.

I took out a lighter and burned the image of Evangeline meeting with a woman dressed in black.
