Chapter 9

3rd Person's POV

The North Pole

"It's Tahquitz" America said.

"Who?" Denmark asked.

"Tahquitz a less known Native American spirit it's the evil God of San Jacinto Peak who stole souls and caused misfortune, disease, and death." Canada explained while everyone listened (For once…)

"That doesn't sound good." Iceland said crossing his arms.

"Ah! I believe I've heard of that spirit before Tahquitz is on naughty list." North exclaimed.

"We shouldn't underestimate Tahquitz, we should be prepared for anything." Norway said looking at everyone with his blank stare.

"I agree with Norway, one should never underestimate the enemy." Japan agreed.

"We don't know when our powers will start to give out, what with the children not believing anymore. So far, it seems like we haven't been affected, but it's only a matter of time." Tooth said.

"We're going to have to fight." Bunny said. The nations all looked at each other and seemed to silently communicate.

"We want to help." France said stepping forward.

"No, it's too dangerous." Jack said standing in front of the nations.

"It sounds like you'll need all the help you can get, amigo." Spain said crossing his arms. Jack looked at each nation hoping that one of them would protest, but they all stood their ground.

"Fine." Jack sighed in defeat. Sandy raised his hand and everyone looked over to him, when he saw that he had all of their attention he made a series of images. The nations just stared at him in confusion while the guardians nodded in agreement.

"Sandy is right, you have no powers how do you expect to fight against Tahquitz?" North asked looking at the nations. The nations all looked at each other than back at the guardians.

"North's right, the only ones here who have magic are Norway and England, but that's not even very powerful, and we have no idea what pitch meant about England having the aura of a spirit." Jack said, the nations all just shrugged, but before anyone could say anything else a window blew open.

Meanwhile outside

"This is awesome!" Prussia shouted laughing as he and the two girls flew through the air towards Santa's workshop.

"Yeah, that's how I feel every time I fly." May said laughing. A huge gust of wind suddenly came, knocking Gilbert into May and he instinctually wrapped his arms around her waist. April laughed and let go of Gilbert's hand instead flying in front of them. Gilbert blushed a bright red and tried to let go, almost falling.

"Don't let go, that's a long drop." May said as she grabbed Gilbert's arm Gilbert grabbed her arm in return and they both flew smoothly afterwards, well mostly, April was laughing her head off.

"There it is!" April shouted pointing, in the distance the workshop was coming into view. They all sped up, when they got to the workshop they landed on the roof.

"Where do you think they are?" May asked helping Gilbert land on the roof.

"I don't know." April admitted and May face palmed.

"How do we figure out where they are then? There is no way we're looking through every window, and it's freezing out here." Prussia said rubbing his arms. Suddenly a window blew open and April grinned.

"I say that they're over there." She said pointing.

"That's convenient." May said. Then she grabbed Gilbert's hand again and flew just above the window.

"How are we doing this? I'm supposed to be dead after all." Prussia said. April and May shared a glance and smirked.

Inside

"What the h*ll?" Romano jumped startled when the window blew open.

"Wind! What was that for?" Jack asked floating back down from when he shot into the air. Everyone stared at the window not knowing what to do now. There question was answered when they heard a shout from outside.

"No!" The voice shouted.

"Yes!" Two other voices shouted and something flew in through the open window followed by laughter.

The voice groaned and got up from the floor rubbing his head.

"What the h*ll was that for!" Prussia shouted opening his eyes.

"We thought you needed an entrance." April said flying through the window with May following her.

"The awesome me always has an entrance planned." Prussia shouted walking over to April and hitting her on the head.

"Ow!" She yelled rubbing her head.

"Now you know how I feel!" Gilbert shouted back

"You're going to pay for that Gil." April said her hands folding into fists.

"I'd like to see you try." Prussia countered his hands turning into fists as well.

"Guys calm down." May said getting between them. They both glared at each other for a moment before looking away and crossing their arms with a huff. "Good. Now, I think we have some explaining to do." She continued pointing at the others who were staring at Prussia in shock.

"See? This is why you don't throw people through windows. Do you honestly expect people not to be shocked?" Prussia gestured to everyone in the room.

"Well, it's better then what you had in mind! You were just going to waltz in and say 'Oh, hey guys. Guess what? I'm not dead, I haven't seen you in forever, for like two years.' Yeah that would totally work!" April shouted at Prussia and the two almost got into a fight again.

"Everybody shut up! We came to the workshop to be reunited! Not to constantly fight! Now shut up or do I have to make you?!" May shouted surprising everyone, suddenly Gilbert started laughing and slung an arm over May's shoulders.

"You sounded like a female version of West, May. That was awesome!" He said, May blushed a crimson red and looked away.

"Th-thank you." She said.

"Yeah, Gil. May acts like Canada most of the time, but get her pissed and she turns into Germany." April commented.

"You're not any better! You act like Russia when you're pissed." May retorted blushing so much that her face looked like a tomato.

"Thank you." April said then turned towards the others in the room. "Hello, my name is April Shower, this is my sister May Flower, and I assume you already know Prussia." April introduced as Prussia and May stood next to her.

"What the h*ll is going on here?" Germany shouted voicing the question everyone else was thinking. Germany was staring at Prussia in disbelief, as was everyone else in the room, except April and May.

"Why are you all staring at me?" Prussia asked cocking his head a little to the side. "Is my awesomeness so much that you have to stare?" He continued grinning.

"P-Prussia?" Spain asked stepping forward then hesitating.

"The one and only." Prussia exclaimed.

"H-how? I thought." Jack said, "How are you still alive?" he asked. "I thought you were dead."

"I was." Prussia said dropping his smile.

"What happened?" England asked.

"Ask April." Prussia pointed at said spirit, everyone turned to look at her and she waved shyly.

"Hi, um… So, yeah Prussia was dead for, like, two hours. Then I found him, and, I don't know how I did it, exactly, but I brought him back alive. He wouldn't wake up, and I didn't really know what to do, so I took him with me. I found May and, together we took care of him. He only woke up today actually, but he's still really weak." April explained. The others looked over at Prussia.

"Where was he?" China asked, none of them actually knew where he died.

"I met Gilbert in a forest." Jack answered China's question.

"A forest?" Germany questioned.

"Yeah, that's where I found him." April nodded. Germany turned to Prussia.

"Why were you in a forest? The only thing I know is that you ran off into the snow without warning." Germany asked.

"I don't know, I don't even know how I ended up there, as far as I know there are no forests near the meeting place we were at." Prussia said in deep thought.

"Prussia, the forest I found you in, is the one we were just at." April said in realization. Prussia's eyes widened as he realized what she was trying to say. The others seemed confused, except for May, she seemed to understand where this was going.

"Almost like you were meant to find me." Prussia whispered to himself.

"But, how does that work?" April said, "How did you end up in the exact same place I was?" April asked starting to freak out a bit.

"That wasn't even close to where the meeting was being held." Prussia said

"Jack was there too." May said crossing her arms.

"You weren't too far away either." April said agreeing with May.

"How were you all in the same place at the same time, especially since Prussia was so far away?" England asked.

"I don't know. I was there to make it snow." Jack said.

"I got a message from April telling me to meet her there." May said.

"What? I never sent you a message." April said looking at May in confusion. "I was there because Man in Moon told me there was something important there." April said.

"So, Man in Moon has something to do with this?" Hungary asked. The other nations tensed with suspicion.

"I think Man in Moon knew there was going to be trouble, like with Pitch, he got Jack." North said.

"Now he thinks we all need to work together?" Finland asked and Sweden nodded in agreement.

"Apparently." America nodded.

"Wait!" Gilbert said in sudden realization.

"What?" April asked.

"Didn't you say I wasn't able to help, because I'm still recovering?" Prussia said turning to April.

"Well, yeah. I guess I did," April said scratching the back of her head guiltily.

"Then, what exactly am I doing here?" He asked

"You've actually recovered a lot quicker than I thought you would. Besides, I thought you wanted to see the others." She said.

"Well, yeah I did, but, I thought-" Gilbert started.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not going to let you fight, unless absolutely necessary. You're just going to help more than you would have originally." April interrupted.

"Then what will I be doing?" Gilbert questioned her.

"Helping May." She said simply. "She'll be helping to heal anyone who gets hurt."

What!?" May shrieked. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean, you're not going to fight." April said turning on her twin.

"You know bloody damn well that I'm fighting, April! You have no right to say whether I can fight or not!" May said furious.

"You know that, out of the two of us, you know more about healing then I ever will! You're the one who took care of Prussia the most! All I did was heal his cuts and bruises, you are the one who took care of his broken ribs and coma! Sure, I may have been the one who brought him back, but I don't even know how I did that!" April said as the others stared on speechless, though some with more understanding than others.

"If I want to fight, then I'll fight! You can't stop me in my decision, there is no way I'm going to just sit back and watch everyone else risk themselves while all I'm doing is healing wounds! I'll bet you're going to be directly on the front lines!" May shouted standing directly in front of April, despite their differences in height (April is taller than May.) May still seemed more threatening than April currently.

"I don't want you getting hurt! There's less of a risk if you stay back!" April argued.

"And what? Watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so! I will not stay back when you are all risking yourselves!" May countered.

"You know damn well you're better at healing then fighting, May! You should stay back." April shouted, both girls were getting pissed.

"It's not your decision to make! I'm the oldest, if anyone should be making the decision of one of us staying back it should be me! Why the hell would I be staying back if you're not going to?" May said clearly trying to rein in her temper. "How can I defend any of you if I'm not even fighting beside you?" She said clenching her fists at her sides.

"You're not fighting, May. That's final." April said looking down at the other. May clenched her fists tighter and swung.
