Taipei, Taiwan

The group of suited men stared at the puddle of blood on the ground.

"How did she get away with that gunshot wound?" said the youngest man.

"Never mind the gunshot wound. How did walk away after falling nine stories?" said another.

"Well, she isn't human. There's no telling what she can survive through," said the third man. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "She couldn't have gotten far with those injures, human or not. Spread out and search for her! I do not want to tell the boss we lost her."

"On it sir!" said the men in unison before the broke apart to look for Taiwan.

Unknown to them a figure was watching them from a window above the alley. As soon as the men left, the figure stepped away from the window and looked behind them.

On the floor of the apartment lay the bandaged, yet unconscious Taiwan.

'Do not worry. You are safe now,' thought the figure. 'I won't let them get you.'

Minsk, Belarus

Belarus watched the commotion on the computer screen unfold with disinterest in her eyes. Although her fellow nations were in trouble, it did not concern her. As long as her dear brother and sister were fine

Suddenly, she heard distant yelling on the other side of the door. Being very careful and quiet, she rose from the computer desk and walked over to the door and peered out. The yelling got louder and Belarus walked out and looked over the railing and down below at the lobby of the internet cafe.

The yelling was coming from two men dressed in black. They were standing at the front desk and intimidating the clerk. They were showing him a picture of some sort.

"This woman! Have you seen her?" demanded one of the men.

The clerk shrugged and smirked before he said, "I may have or I may not have. I might need a little something to jog my memory, if you know what mean?"

The second man slammed down onto the counter a stack of bills. Vastly, larger than the one she gave him when she got there. The clerk picked up the stack and flipped through it.

"Is that enough?"

"Yes. Yes it is. She's upstairs in room 203," he said without looking up.

Belarus cursed and dashed back into the room just as the men were turning around. She then locked the door and put a chair under to doorknob to stall for time before going back to the computer.

"I am sorry, but I must leave now," she muttered. "Brother and Sister, don't worry. We will see each other again soon."

She heard her sister Ukraine cry out, "Sister! What's going on?! Tell me!" before she cut the connection and shut off the computer. Belarus took out a magnet and stuck it to the side of the computer. They mustn't find out who she was talking to. She then began to pack up her things and stuff them into her bag. Just as she finished, the doorknob rattled.

"Open this door! We know you are in there!" said one voice and then the door started being banged on.

"Damn," whispered Belarus as she looked around for a way to escape. The only way out was the door and the window.

"I guess that is my only exit then," she said to herself before going over to the window and opened it. Underneath the window was a small overhang she could stand on and a few feet away was a thick water drain pipe.

Belarus took a deep breath, tightened the duffel bag, and carefully went out the window and onto the overhang. She slowly stood up and began to inch her way over to the water pipe.

'I will not allow myself to be captured by these cowardly humans. I will escape and whoever sent them after me will pay,' she thought to herself as she moved over to the object of her freedom, the water pipe.

She smiled when she reached it and began to climb down it. She halfway down the pipe and was almost to freedom when she heard a shout from above. It was one of the men and he was hanging out of the window.

"You! Stop!" he said pointed a gun at her. She froze and then looked down. She wasn't too far up from the ground. She looked back up at the man with a hard glare.

"No."

And she pushed away from the pipe and the wall and fell to the ground.

She fell to the ground in the alleyway and landed into a tuck and roll. She stopped and looked back up at the window. No one was there anymore. They must be on their way downstairs to get her.

Belarus quickly opened her bag and pulled out a black wig and dark sunglasses. She put on the wig and then hurried out of the alley and to the crowds on the street. When she got there, she put on the sunglasses and tried to blend in as she walked down the street.

As she walked, the men in black walked right past her as they looked around for her. Belarus smirked and kept walking as she planned her next step.

At The Principality of Wy

Wy let out a shrill scream when her prince was hit in the head with a nightstick by a masked man in black. The Prince let out a groan and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Wy tried to run over to her boss's side but one of the other men grabbed her and yanked her back. "Prince! Prince, please speak to me!" she cried as she struggled and kicked to escape

The Prince looked up at her weakly. "L-Let her go! Let her go now!"

The man who hit him began to kick him the side until he passed out.

"There. I was getting sick of him," he spat out.

Wy let out a growl. "You won't get away with this! My friends and Australia and New Zealand will get you! You'll pay!"

"Do you really think they will notice that you have gone missing? Any of them?" asked the man. "You aren't a major nation and Australia and New Zealand are missing. No one will know that you are gone until it is far too late. And your so called 'friends'? You'll be seeing them real soon, you brat."

Wy stopped her struggling looked at him shocked. "W-What do you mean?"

The man didn't answer her. He then looked up at her captor. "Knock her out as well. I don't want to listen to her crying as we fly back."

"Roger."

Wy renewed her struggling. "No! Let me go! Someone help!"

She soon felt a sharp pain in her neck and then saw nothing but darkness.

In the Australian Outback

A shiver ran down Australia's back and a feeling of dread overcame him as he packed up the computer equipment.

"What is the feeling?" he said to no one. 'Did something happen to the others?' he thought. 'Or is someone out here?'

Australia stood up and looked around his camp. There was no one there except his koala. He shook his head.

"It's probably just nothing. I'm probably just paranoid about what I just saw on the computer. I just hope everyone made it out okay."

The feeling and shiver passed and Australia continued to put his things away, oblivious to what was happening on his own continent.
