Chapter10 This is War

1917, Icelandic waters

Iceland was currently ferrying two very important people in his waters today in his ship. The Prince of Brazil Pedro the third and President Wilson's daughter Margret Wilson. The two were currently dating and were a big hit in both of their countries.

America was currently with Brazil, the two seemed to get along real well. Both of their bosses signed non-aggression pacts and agreed to cooperate with each other in the Western Hemisphere.

"Iceland those auroras were beautiful," said Margret who was holding Pedro's arm

"Thank you mam," said Iceland.

The ship had both American and Brazilian soldiers on board and there were plenty of warships from both nations stationed at his house in case German submarines attacked. Ever since the war his ships had been sank by German ships.

"Mr. Iceland sir a German ship is requesting to board," said a American Soldier.

Iceland was not about to let a bunch of Germans aboard his ship "Tell them we are in American waters and they have no right to demand a boarding."

"Yes sir," replied the soldier.

"What was that about?" asked Pedro

Iceland told them what the sailor said and reassured them that they will be ok

That was until the ship on the right sank and mortar shells blew onto the side of the ships; "Sir the Germans demand a boarding or they will fire again," the soldier said

"Ok bring them hear and call the captain," said Iceland " Also get life boats ready for the soldiers on the ship that sunk." He was really upset that someone dare demand a boarding and shoot at his ship in his waters.

"Yes sir," said the soldier

"I'll come with you," said Pedro "This is clearly a violation and I will speak my mind to them."

"Be safe dear," said Margret who kissed him on the cheek

Iceland and Pedro met with the captain on the side of the ship while the German ship came to its side. A German captain and two soldiers came on board the ship, "We have reason to believe that there are ammunition and war material on this ship and demand that you surrender it," the captain said.

"This is Icelandic waters you Germans have no right to raid in our waters, we are neutral in your war," said the captain of Iceland's ship

"Actually this is Norwegian waters," said a voice that made Iceland's heart stop. Norway came walking onto the ship wearing his traditional sailors outfit.

Iceland new that Norway was in the Central Powers but he never would have thought he would come and attack his waters because America would respond with war.

"N-Norway what are you talking about this is my water," said Iceland

"No these waters belong to me now, you will surrender the ship or I will take it by force," Norway said without any emotion on his face

"These are American waters you have no right to take this ship. Leave now or-" Pedro did not get to finish his sentence because before Iceland knew it Norway pulled out a gun and shot him dead.

"PEDRO!" exclaimed Iceland "WHAT WAS THAT FOR HE IS THE PRINCE OF BRAZIL AND AMERICA TRUSTED ME WITH HIM," roared Iceland.

"Really, seize the ship and bring me him alive," said Norway pointing at Iceland. Norway then left the ship while about two dozen Germans boarded the ship.

"Surrender peacefully and we will take no lives," the German captain said

"Never," said the Iceland's captain "Iceland send a message to the other ships," he said

Iceland ran to the flare station on the ship, all the other American and Brazilian ships were in a flares range. Iceland fired a flare, then another until they were all gone. When he arrived on the deck it was a madhouse.

There were bodies everywhere German, American, and Brazilian. Iceland grabbed a rifle and a saber and started to fight. He didn't remember how many he fought or killed all he knew was that he fought through German after German. He didn't remember when the American and Brazilian ships came but soon all the Germans lay dead or surrendered. Norway and the ship he came on got away and Margret was devastated over the loss of Pedro.

A few days later Iceland arrived in D.C., the news of the attack on the ship outraged both Brazil and America. Iceland was brought before the President of his country along with the Queen or Doma of Brazil. America and Brazil were also in the room.

"Now Iceland please tell us what happened," said America calmly

Iceland told the group the story of what happened and in the end the queen of Brazil was in tears.

"This is clearly an attack on our country," said President Wilson "This is worst then that note they sent to the Mexicans, I am afraid we have no choice but to go to war. You did the right thing son."

"We will go to war to and avenge my son," sobbed the queen

Iceland wasn't really paying attention to all of this he was just stunned by the way Norway acted it was like he hated him.

Iceland was in the kitchen eating ice cream while Mr. Puffin was eating fish on the table "I knew that snarky guy would snap it was just a matter of time," said Mr. Puffin

Iceland didn't want to hear it he was just too tired from all of the events that happened.

He didn't notice America enter and sit next to him "Ice are you ok?" he asked with concern

"A little," he lied "I just wonder why Norway was being so mean, I have never seen him like that before."

America put a arm around his shoulder and said "I wish I knew, but you did the right thing there was nothing else you could do, the Germans have been hiring his people to do their dirty work it was only a matter of time before we got involved. Listen we will have to go to war with him, you don't have to fight him if you don't want to."

"No I'll go I want a answer," said Iceland. His people were furious he could feel their rage inside of him erupting like his volcanoes over the death of their sons and husbands. He could feel their rage at the piracy that was happening in their waters at the hands of Norway and Germany.

"That's the spirit," said America with a smile just then Brazil entered. He was the same height as America but with dark brown skin and black hair. He reminded Iceland of Spain a little.

"Iceland I would like to thank you for what you did trying to protect my prince, I do not blame you for his death," he said extending his hand which Iceland accepted.

When Iceland went to sleep he had a bad dream. He was in the middle of a tempest at sea and he was in a Viking ship alone. There was a flash of lightning and Iceland noticed someone else at the front of the ship, it was Norway. He ran up to Norway and called "Brother" only for Norway to look at Iceland with a look of pure hatred and then he shot him. Iceland fell to the ground screaming.
