Chapter 6: The First and Last Flight of the Steel Dragon. The Power of One?
Hero's Log,
Arrived in the land of Hawaii at the start of their day. It is a little strange that I could travel thru my country and have it be the afternoon in one part and morning in another part. Anyway I will have to wait until night time to fully see what Hawaii was talking about.
Later (America)
It turns out that he is right about the lights and that must mean the black outs are also true. I will have to report this not only to my boos but also to the other allies.
Japan has harshly thrown back into his office by the guards that had caught him during his latest attempt to escape of the island. In fact for the past few days, Japan had been trying to leave the land of his country. It was after hearing about the surprise attack plans on another nation, that Japan decide was not an honorable move and that the other nations should be warned of the pending doom. But who to warn? If Japan went to Russia there was a great chance that Russia would shoot first and ask questions later and China might not take the warning serious and think that it was a trick. So that left America. Now the question was how to get there.
A Little Later,(Still America)
After watching the lights flicking in the land of Japan, I grabbed the first flight to Europe.
Much Later, ( Still America again)
Fell asleep on the phone, which was uncomfortable for I woke up stiff as a board. After straightening the chinks out of my back, I grabbed a taxi, which was a little hard to find since it was quitting time, the next day, in England, told the drive where I was going, and headed to Arthur's house. Once there I was greeted by a surprise... (Author's note: England is eleven hours ahead of Hawaii, do when it 2 pm in Hawaii it is 1 am in England due to time zones.)
Hearing a knocking at the door, Germany bookmarked his place in the book he was reading. Right now he would have been outside walking around the house in order to strengthen his right leg muscles but with England and Italy in town, due to the British man burning dinner, he was advised to take a break. The reason Ludwig thought that Feliciano suggested the break was so he would not hurt himself while no one was around. Ludwig could not really blame the Italian for being worried.
Hearing the knocking again, Ludwig approached the front door. Seeing a silhouette of a person thru the glass in the front door, Germany glanced thru the peephole and saw that America was on the other side. Unlocking the door, the German opened it for the nation.
"Germany!" said America happily when he saw the person on the other side of the door. "It is so nice to see that you are awake. How have you been?"
Letting the nation into England's house, Germany answered. "Okay I guess. Just got the cast off my leg, so I have been working on strengthening my legs."
"Makes sense to me. Anything else?"
"I have also been talking bout what happen to me with Feliciano. This has caused me to have a few panic attacks though."
"Dude, I'm not going to pretend that I understand what happened to you, but if you want to talk to someone besides Italy, I will listen. Also if you don't mind I could join you in your training."
"I would appreciate that America. Just know that I get up pretty early."
"Don't worry about me. I maybe a little slow the fist few days due to the five hour time jump from New York but I will get use to it fast. I have to I am the hero! So where is England? I thought he would be home with you." (Author's note: New York is five hours behind England. So when it is 2 am in New York it is 7 am in England)
"He and Italy went out to pick something for dinner, so it is just me now."
"Okay, so let's talk until they get back."
Dear Journal,
No matter what Italy says I did not burn dinner on purpose.
Anyway, as for the lack of food in my place, I will say is my fault. Normally I am use to feeding only one person, me. Even when America is over, it is for only a few days and we often eat out because America enjoys the restaurants around my place. So I guess I underestimated how much food have two guest (Can I call them friends now?) over would go through. Well it didn't take long for us to pick up something and to start heading home.
What I saw when I arrived home was not only Alfred and Germany in my front yard but one of my front windows blown out...
"What the hell happen?" England asked as he shoved his bag of food into the arms of Italy. "Are both of you okay?"
"Don't worry Arthur. Beside being a little startled we are fine." Answered America. "As for the window..."
"I think it was me." Interrupted Germany. "This is not the first time glass has shattered around me and it tends to do it when I express strong emotions."
"You see. I was talking to America about some of the dreams that I been having."
"The dreams about seeing events through someone else eyes?" Asked Italy when he remember the night he had woke Ludwig from a nightmare.
"Yes. I guess my fear and anger at the actions I was seeing got the best of me and the window receive my effects of my emotions. I am sorry England. I didn't mean to destroy the window."
"It's okay, Germany. I know that it was an accident. But this means your theory Alfred was true." Said England
"Theory?" Asked Ludwig as he looked at America.
"Well you see this is not the first time you have done something like this. One time while your were unconscious, you somehow broadcasted an image of yourself. It scared us really bad. Anyway, my theory is that it has to do with all the pain that you went through. Your mind tried to cope with the pain signals by sending it to different parts of your brain. This seemed to waken some dormant parts of the brain that now give you mental abilities." Answered the North American nation.
"So if you theory is true, then how am I going to control it?"
"Well I might have something in my magic tomes that might help. I will need time to go through them though. I will get looking into tonight after dinner." answer Arthur as he opened the front door and went inside.
"Yes, dinner. I don't know about you guys but I am starving." Said America happily at the mention of food as he followed England inside.
"What about the widow?" Asked Italy as he also followed England in.
"I will have to cover it for tonight and call in the morning about getting it replaced." Answered England.
"Again I apologize for break you widow." Sid Germany.
"I said not to worry about it, Germany. Now lets eat."
Japan's Journal:
After many failed attempts to escape so I can warn the world in what my government is planning, I have decide that the only way to succeed is to make an extreme escape. I am going to hijack one of the airplanes, made for the attack and fly it to America's country ally, Hawaii. Even if I get shot down it will alert the nation that something it going on. Hopefully they will tell other nations about my plane and then the surprise attack will fail. I have already taken the fist steps to this plan and stolen a copy of the flight manual from the pilot training grounds. I am going to memorize the book from front to back before I steal a plane. I will not get a second chance so I hope knowing the manual will be enough.
Entry #1
I have finally found an empty notebook that I can use. Feliciano did it find it funny that I found an empty notebook. He said something about a memo he must not have gotten about keeping empty notebook around the house. When I question him more on it he told me that it was a personal joke.
On another note, it did not take long for England to find some information on metal abilities in his magic books. For what he was able to gather, metal abilities is similar to his magic abilities, just harder to control because one has to focus the mind in order to use them compared to magic that he cam use through chanting some words. After telling me this he has offered to teach me how to control my new powers. So far it has been two days and I have not gotten very far...
Seeing another empty can's side explode, Ludwig grind his teeth before speaking. "I can not seen to get it. What am I doing wrong?"
"To be honesty, Germany, I am not sure." said England as he picked up the can and threw it into a trash can. In away he was glad that he had switched to cans after having to pick up so many broken pieces of glass. "Maybe you are to pushing yourself to hard. You wake up early to train with America, then you have your appointments with Dr. Herbert and you also talk to Feliciano about what happen in Berlin. Plus on top of that you are exercising by yourself most of the day. Maybe you should alternate days that you exercise and days you work with me."
"It is not that simple, England."
"I know that you want to get better quickly Germany, but pushing yourself to hard can be a bad thing too."
"Know it's just that I have this feeling some bad is going to happen and that I need to be ready to face it."
"I see. Just to let you know I have men in your country looking into what might be happening but I have not heard anything. I promise to let you know when I do. As for now let's call it a day."
Later (Still Germany)
Feliciano after dinner complained to me about how he never gets to be with alone with me unless we are going to bed. I guess I can understand his feels since I have not forced him to join me in training since I have restarted it. Maybe this is why he feels lonely, especially if since I am training with America, which is not the same. In order to cheer him up I have offered to go walking with him in the evening, along as we do not go to the town, because I am still not sure how the townsfolk will act when they see me.
A Little Later (Still Germany)
Just got back from my walk with Feliciano. It was nice just to enjoy the setting sun and to talk about nothing important. I do know that I have something I need to talk to him about but that can wait until tomorrow morning.
Dear Journal,
Was woken by a phone call about an hour and a half before Alfred and Germany were to wake to do their training. When I answered it Russia was on the other side. He told me that he called to say that He had seen the 'missing' 'Germany' on a battle field and thought that I would like to know.
After hearing this, I left me room to check on Germany, which I ran into America, apparently the ringing of the phone had woken him. Once I checked the guest room and saw that Germany was still asleep with Italy, which proves my idea that he might be pushing himself to hard since he did not wake up and America did.
Once that was clear, I told Alfred what Russia had told me. Either Russia has finally lost it or he really saw another 'Germany.' Whatever is the truth we deiced to not to tell Germany for the time being.
A Little Later, (England)
Italy came down stair short after America and Germany had left for their training. After he had a quick cup of coffee, Italy help me prepare a proper breakfast for American , Germany and us once they did back inside. As he was cooking the eggs, Italy reviled a dream he has been having involving two Germanys. Does this have a tie to what Russia had told me? If it does I do hope that Italy doesn't have psychic powers also. I don't think I can handle teaching two people at the same time.
Anyway, just as Italy and I finished preparing breakfast, American and Germany came in from their training outside...
"Ludwig!" Italy shouted happily as he ran to the German and jumped into him.
"Easy there." Said Germany as he caught the Italian in his arms.
"Hug. Hug." Feliciano said as he wrapped his arms around Ludwig's chest.
"Don't do that! I am covered in sweat."
"Don't care. Besides breakfast is ready." Said Italy as he looked up at the German.
"I see." responded Ludwig as he slow pried Feliciano off of himself. "Should we get cleaned up first or just go ahead and eat?"
Smiling at the strange cuteness between the two Axis countries, England answered. "Eat first while it is still hot. You can get cleaned up afterwards."
Entry #2
For some reason when Feliciano hugs me my heart start pounding like crazy. This feeling started out weakly before my disappearance. Left when I was in captivity but returned when I woke up from my drug induced coma, and has seemed to gotten stronger as the weeks passed.
I know while I was trapped in that basement I had hallucinations of Italy. Some of these hallucinations were of Feliciano strapped down to an operation table like I was and I was unable to rescue him. Other hallucinations were of him arriving to ease my pain and slowly releases me, but when I try to sit up, I come back to reality. So why do I feel like this now?
Smiling to himself, Italy shoved a blanket into the picnic basket that he had been preparing with England's help while Ludwig was in the shower. "Are you sure that Ludwig will say yes?"
"If not, keep insisting. Dr. Herbert told me that Germany in pushing himself to hard and that a day off will do him some good."
"What about his physic training?"
"He can do that after dinner tonight."
"Okay."
Looking up from the newspaper he was reading, Alfred just shook his head. He had a feeling that Feliciano would not have to try too hard to get Germany to agree to their plans.
Just then the three nations heard the sound of Germany coming down the stairs and walking into the kitchen.
"America, I am done with the shower if you want to use it." Said Germany when enter the room.
"Thanks, I am going to use it right away." Said Alfred as he stood up from where he was reading the paper and exited the kitchen.
"Ludwig! Come have a picnic with me." Said Feliciano as he bounced around until he stood in front of the German.
"Feliciano, I have..." the German started to say but when he saw the puppy dog eyes that Feliciano was giving him, Ludwig quickly change his tune. Cursing his brother, Gilbert, for helping Italy perfect that technique, Germany answered. "Fine, but let's not spend all day okay."
"Yea!" Said Italy as he grabbed German's right arm. "Let's get going then. England has told me of this cool place in the forest behind his home."
"Wait!" Shouted Arthur as he saw Italy pull Germany out the back door. "You do not want to forget this."
Handing Feliciano the almost forgotten basket, Arthur waved to two off.
"So what brought this on?" asked Germany as the two walked down a forest trail. What surprised Germany was that Italy was carrying the basket and not complaining about it being to heavy.
"Well, the thing is Dr. Herbert Asimov said that you are pushing yourself to hard and that you need to take a break." answered Feliciano. "I thought that a hike and a picnic would be nice."
"So our hike is someplace that England suggested?"
"Yeah, he said we would know it when we see it."
"Well, I guess we have to keep our eyes open then."
"Okay, in the meantime is there anything you want to talk about Ludwig?"
Stopping in his tracks, Ludwig stood completely still as Feliciano took a few steps ahead before he stopped and looked back at the German nation.
"Ludwig is something wrong?" asked Italy as he walked back to the frozen nation.
"Not really. As you have noticed I have not been talking about the tortures since I told you about the scars on my back. The thing is I don't know how to talk about it." Answered Ludwig.
"Does it have to do with the open wound I saw on your chest?"
Placing a hand on where the chest wound once was Ludwig responded. "Yes but what you saw only part of it."
"You mean there was more to it?"
Nodding his head at the question, Ludwig started walking again with Italy at his side. "I guess in whatever the doctors found out about my spine was not enough because they were soon peeling back the skin and muscles on my chest until they had access to my ribcage. They then took a bone saw and started cutting at my ribs until they were able to lift the top of my ribcage up and revealed my heart and lungs. I am lucky that they only took samples of my heart and lungs. They might have killed if they had removed my heart."
"So your body regrew a whole ribcage?"
"No, they placed the ribs back and watched my body refused it to the parts of the ribs still inside me. Like I said the part you saw was what had not regenerated."
After hearing this, Italy did not know what to say. He knew that Ludwig only gave him a run down of what happen but that still made him sad. Sad that someone would hurt Germany like that. Sad that someone supposedly trained to help people would dissected Germany. The Germany that always come to his rescue, that never gave up on him, that stayed is ally even though everyone else said it was a bad idea, and always cared about him.
"Feliciano, are you okay?" asked Germany when he noticed that Italy had stopped walking.
Being pulled out of his thoughts by the question Italy answered. "I wish I had done more to those men then just shooting them in the head. They deserved a lot worse than what I gave them."
"Feliciano, please stop thinking about what you could have done, " Said Germany as he approached the upset nation and pulled him into a hug. "but do remember what you did for me."
"Okay." Said Italy accepted the hug.
"Good. Now lets return to our hike." said Ludwig as he pulled away from Italy.
The two continue walking until they started to hear the sound of roaring water. Heading in the direction of the sound, Ludwig and Feliciano followed a small path through the trees. What they came a pound was a large pond, with clear water, fed by waterfall, that got its water source from an underground river. The pond was surround by a large patch of green grass and a few trees, that had flowers in bloom.
"Look at this place!" Said Ludwig as he took in the view.
"I know. This place is beautiful. I wonder if this was the place that England was talking about." Said Italy.
"I don't know but I say let's eat here. I don't think we will find another place as nice."
"Sure." answered Feliciano as he set down the picnic basket on the grass near the shore of the pond.
Grabbing the blanket out of the basket, Feliciano unfolded it and spread it out on the grass. Taking out the food next, Italy revealed that he, with the help of England, had made some sandwiches with some Germany's favorites from his homeland and a few other sides.
"Looks good right? England help me make all of this. I have a feeling that he would be a better cook if he was a little more patience." Said Italy as he took a seat on the blanket.
"It does." responded Ludwig as he took a seat next to the Italian. "I guess you helped right."
"Of course! Now you got to have one of these." said Feliciano as he handed the German a plate with a sandwich, and some sides on it.
"Don't worry, I will." Responded Germany
About an hour later and much of the food gone, Italy stretched out on the blanket. "Man, I am stuffed. Did you get enough to eat?"
"Yes." Said Ludwig, who remained in a sitting position.
"Come on Ludwig. Relax and lay down with me." said Feliciano as he grab the man's hand.
Blushing from his hand, fingers intertwined with Feliciano's, Ludwig slowly lowered himself next to Italy
"Comfortable?" asked Italy.
"I guess so." Answered Ludwig.
Staying silent for a few moments, just long enough for the German to close his one good eye in relaxation, when Italy spoke. "Umm.. Ludwig I have something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Said Ludwig as he opened his one good eye to look at the Italian.
"It is about your rescue."
"What about it?" Asked Germany as he raised up on to his elbows.
"It has to deal with the coat that you saw. I would like to explain the story behind it, if you don't mind."
Rolling on to his side, so he could keep a better slight on Italy, Ludwig spoke. "I don't mind at all, so go ahead and tell me when you feel like it."
Taking a breath, Italy stated his tale. "When I found the door, I heard a scream. I think that it might have been you."
"I did scream out in pain, but I did not think anyone heard me."
"Well, I heard the scream which caused me to hit my head on the coat bar in the closet that I found the door in, and got knocked out. Somehow I got locked in the closet because of it."
"Anyway I must have been there for all of the night because when someone let me out it was daytime. That someone was Volker Edlenkrieger."
"Volker Edlenkrieger."
"Yes, Volker" Said Italy nodding his head. "At first I lied to him about my search but he must have been really smart or I am just easy to read because he figured out what I was doing. Instead of turning me in, he helped me in my quest."
"When I need to find the key that Hitler had hiding in his office, he was the one that set the fire that was the distraction so I could search Hitler's office. After I found the key, Volker helped me search the basement lab that I found you in."
"So he was the one that gave you the coat."
"Yes, It was the same coat that I wrapped you in. The coat that I carried you to England's in." answered Italy as he tried not to choke up.
"As for Volker, I don't know what happen to him. After we escaped the building, Volker went a different path so he could lead the officers off our trail. Because of this I was able to make it to England's house."
Not sure how to respond, Ludwig remained quite.
"Because of this brave man, I was able to save you." Said Feliciano, as he looked into the eyes of Germany, tears running down his face. "I wish I knew what happen so I could help him."
Scooting over to the Italian, Ludwig embraced Feliciano in a hug. Rubbing his hands up and down the Italian's back in order to calm him down, Ludwig said. "Its okay, Feliciano. I am sure he is fine. Brave men like him are not easily killed."
Later (Germany)
I was woken by England gently shaking my shoulder. It turned out that in my comforting of Italy, we had both fallen asleep. Now it was two hours before dinner and England most have gotten worried and decided to go looking for us.
Looking around to familiar myself to where I was, I saw that I was still at the pond and now Feliciano was asleep on top of me. What I really noticed was that it the first time that I had a full sleep without a nightmare and that my heart was racing. I don't know if my heart racing was because of Feliciano.
After waking Italy up, we packed up the blanket in the basket and headed back to England's house.
A Little Later (England)
After dinner, Ludwig and Alfred and I went downstairs into my basement. I would have preferred that America had stayed upstairs but he wanted to see Germany's progress. Unfortunately Germany is still the same as he was when we started...
"I do not know what I am doing wrong." said Ludwig
"Maybe you are using the wrong emotions to control it." Said Alfred.
"But if I am not angry it, does not work." Said Ludwig as he showed America what he meant.
"Maybe you just have to find something else." Said England.
Japan's Journal
It has been two weeks since I have gotten the plane manual. Since I have been quite while studying, so the guards have gotten a little relax. I hope this helps me when I try to escape tonight.
Later (Japan)
I have gather what I will be needing to escape. Armed with a gun and my katana (Author's note: More commonly referred to as a "samurai sword".), I am now ready to escape...
Knowing that the guards would be watching the window because he had used it several times before in some failed escapes, Japan opened his office door and stuck his head out. Since no one asked him if anything was wrong, Japan looked both ways before stepping out of the office.
Leaving the door unlocked, just in case he had to run back into the office, Kiku began to quietly walk down the hall. He walked to the side but tried to make it seem like he was supposed to be there.
Once he reached the emergency door, Japan disable the alarm by pulling out a few cables and open the door to a stair case. It was Germany that had shown him how to disarm devices. Shaking his head Kiku tried to dismiss the memory, he did not need it distracting him as he made his un for freedom.
Running down the stairs, Japan made it to the front yard of the office building. Knowing that crossing the yard was one of the hard parts, Japan calmly started walking down the sidewalk. He was about half way when an alarm went off.
Seeing officers run at him Japan drew his katana. Using the blade, Japan sliced one of the officer's gun in half and cut the leg of another, causing the man to fall to the ground. Japan kept using the samurai sword to clear a path to the front gate, which was closing. Drawing out his gun, he shot at a few officers that tried to stop him
Taking a leap, Japan slid past the gate just as it closed. Glancing over his shoulder Japan saw that the officers were suck behind the gate. Using this to his advantage, Japan took off in the direction of one of the plane factories.
It didn't take long for Kiku to reach the factory. Lucky for him, the government had not contacted the police, but Japan knew it would be only a matter of time before they have the factory on lock down.
Knocking out the guard by the back door, Kiku slipped into the building. He then continued to move around by use of the shadows until he was able to capture one of the workers and strip them of their uniform.
With the now nude employee locked in a closet, Kiku began to walk the factory more freely. As he search, Japan knew he had an idea in what to look for. From what he had gathered during his week of study, the planes were fueled enough so pilots could fly around the factory to get use to the planes for a few hours. So that meant he would need one of the planes outside and one hopefully near the fuel station.
Walking down a flight of metal stairs, Kiku reached the lower section of factory before heading to landing pad outside.
Jumping when he heard an alarm go off, Japan looked over his shoulder to see people moving to the building. Someone must have found either the guard or the employee that he had attacked.
Trying not to draw attention to himself, Kiku walked slowly and calmly to what looked like a fuel station. Once there the Japanese man was greeted by luck with a plane parked close to the fuel station. Look at the kanji painted on the side, 鋼竜 (Kōryū) (Author's note: the kanji means Steel Dragon in which the plane will be referred to from now on.. I got the translation from Google so please forgive me if I got it wrong.), Japan had a feeling that this plane was meant for him. Japan was almost done filling Steel Dragon, when he heard "Hey you! What are you doing?"
Looking around the plane, the Japanese nation saw a group of people running towards his location. After seeing this Japan knew he had a few minutes before he was upper handed, he opened the cockpit and jumped in. Pulling a few leavers and flicking switches, Kiku fired the engine on and the aircraft began to move forwards. Directing the plane to the runway, Japan stomped on the gas in order to pick up speed as the plane raced down the track. Holding a breath, the Japanese nation pulled back on the control stick and Steel Dragon began to rise in time to miss hitting the trees at the end of the runway.
Releasing his breath, Japan leveled out his plane as it flew over the city. That was until bullets flew past his plane. Using the control stick, Japan moved Steel Dragon to the left just in time to miss another rain of bullets. Driving his plane closer to the city, Japan hoped to lose his followers in their planes. Unfortunately this did not work because more planes, from another factory, joined in the quest to take down Steel Dragon.
Making a sharp turn dropping down, rising up Japan maneuvered his plane around the buildings and other aircraft until he was able to shoot the plane out over the ocean. The other planes gave Steel Dragon chase over the water for a few miles before they pulled back to the land of Japan. Noticing this, Japan wonder how he had lost them until he saw the black smoke coming out of the back end of the aircraft. Deciding to take a chance, Kiku sped up the machine in hopes to run across an Allies Navy craft. Sadly luck had abandon him as the plane took a nose and the ocean filled his view.
That night the land of Japan had an earthquake.
Dear A.T. Diary,
It has been two weeks since my picnic with Ludwig and of me telling him about Volker and Ludwig is ignoring me. Each time I enter a room, Germany leaves to do something or when I try to hug him, he pulls away. He even stopped going on walks with me. Did me telling him about Volker cause something? I wish he tell me instead of remaining silent...
Italy and Germany were alone at England's house. American and England had a meeting with the other Allies, so that was why the twp Axis nations were by themselves.
Look out the kitchen window, that was above the sink where Italy was washing the breakfast dishes, Feliciano saw Ludwig standing by the large oak tree in England's yard. Ever since the two ally nations told them that they had a meeting, Germany developed a strong deep thought vibe around himself.
'I guess his thinking has caused him to wonder outside.' thought Italy.
Noticing the storm clouds in the sky, the Italian nation hung up the dish towel and went out the back door to join the German before it started to rain.
"What are you thinking about?" Feliciano asked when he joined Germany under the oak tree.
"Nothing." answered the German coldly as he started to walk away.
Seeing how even now, Ludwig was trying to avoid him, Feliciano shouted out. "Stop Hiding, Ludwig!" And then it opened up and poured.
"Hiding? I am not hiding." Said Germany as it rained down on him.
"Yes you are! It has been two weeks since I talked to you about Volker and all you have done is hide from me. Even before that you were hiding from me. " Said Italy as he walked out from under the tree and into the rain to hide his tears.
"I don't understand what you mean." Said Ludwig as the rain soak him.
"Before your disappearance, I would see you only in your boxers before you put on your night top. Now you are always covered up when around me. I have only seen your back twice, once when you first got clothes and once when I caught you by surprise." Said Italy as he approached Ludwig. "Even now you are hiding from me."
Reaching up, Feliciano pulled off the blond wig, which revealed the grown back blond hair that was still to short for Germany to gel back, and removed the bandages that always covered Ludwig's left eye.
Turning quickly around because of Italy's actions, Ludwig tried to hide his face. "Feliciano, you don't fully understand."
"You're right Ludwig. I don't fully understand. I can never understand how those sick bastards could treat you like an experiment. I could never understand the pain they caused you with their treatments. I can never understand the pain you felt when your left eye was carved out. You went through you much..."
"Feliciano..."
"Right now, I want you to know that I care for you, that I will stay by your side and that I will never leave. And most important know that I ... I love you."
Hearing this, Ludwig slowly turned to face Feliciano, before cupping the crying nation's face. "Thank you, Feliciano." Said Ludwig before capturing Feliciano's lips in a kiss.
Hero's Log
I don't understand why the other nations do not like my plans. I can understand England not like them. He is smart for starters and often notices thinks that I over look. As for the nations not so much. they always stay stupid things about my plans, but when I try to ask them about their idea, they don't come up with anything or break out in an argument. I something think France argues with Arthur because he loves to see England get upset.
As for Russia, I am not to sure on what is going on with him. Once again he was brought up that he has seen 'Germany.' He keep saying that the nation has gone crazy. He even says that some one his spies has seen 'Germany' shoot unarmed people. That doesn't seem anything like Germany, so who is this look alike?
Some where in Europe., a blue eyed and black haired man looked to the west.
The two continued kissing passionately, the feeling of warmth rating from each other, in the rain until Italy noticed that he could still hear the rain but not feel it coming down on him. Slowly and reluctantly Feliciano broke the kiss to look above them.
"How is this happening?" Asked Italy as he exam the water dome that had formed around them with his eyes.
Somehow during their kissing, the rain had collected and formed a dome that was now blocking the rest of the storm. He could see light flicker in the water of the dome each time lighting struck in the distance, it made the dome very pretty. It was almost like look up at the sky from under water.
"I don't know. Maybe..." Ludwig started to answer but instead the water dome shattered, drowning the two in water.
Pushing his hair out his eyes, Feliciano heard Ludwig laughing. "What is so funny?'
"It's my wig. It looks like a drown rodent." Said the German as he picked it up off the ground and showed it to Italy. "So much for putting it back on."
"Do you really need to put it back on?"
"Nien." (No) Said Germany as he shook his head. "But I do advise we get out of these clothes. I for one don't want to catch a cold."
After returning to England's home, the two nations had entered the guest bathroom. Stripping of their wet clothes, Italy started filling up the bathtub.
"Will you join me?" asked Italy as he tested the water. He did not want it to be too hot.
"No." answer Germany with his back to Feliciano. he was trying to hide the blush that came to his face.
"Why not?"
"because men don't share baths."
"Due too." answered Feliciano as he turned off the water. "I share a both with Japan all the time."
"That is different." answered Ludwig.
"How so?"
"That was n onsen and are said to have healing properties from its mineral content. (Author's note: Onsen is a term for hot springs in Japanese language. As a volcanically active country, Japan has thousands of onsen scatted along its length and breadth.)
"So why can't a hot bath be good for health reason?"
"I guess so...But I can't. Someone has to clean up the water we tracked in."
"Don't worry about that. As long as we clean up before England gets home, it will be fine."
Seeing that Italy was not going to let him talk his way out of the bath, the German answer. "Fine."
"Yea!" shout Italy as he clapped his hands together.
Hoping into the tub, Feliciano scooted to the end, with the water sprout, so Ludwig could climb in the other end. Stepping in to the other end, Ludwig slowly lowered himself into the water, causing a little water to spill onto the floor.
"Looks like more we'll have to clean up." Said Feliciano as he looked over the edge of the tub.
"Ja." (Yes) responded the German.
"So what were you thinking so hard about?" Said Italy as he tried to start a conversation.
Looking at Feliciano, Ludwig decide to answer his question. "When American and England mentioned about the meeting they were going to, it made me think about what is going on in my government. We both know that Hitler has cut off ties to me, which now give me no power if it comes the government matters. But the things is that I can feel that something is wrong. I know it has to do with my coughing fits. I need to do something"
"But how Ludwig? We are so far away from Berlin."
"We?"
"Yes. After what happen, I really don't want to leave your side." Said Italy was he slowly slid closer to the German.
"You do realize the danger I might be facing if I should make a move."
"Of course but I will stand by what I said." Said Italy as he laid his head on Germany shoulder.
Not sure how to respond, Ludwig move his left arm and pulled Feliciano closer to himself.
In Berlin...
"Sie haben auch mit sich selbst getan." ( You have done well with yourself.) Said Hitler as he stood in front of a large widow look at the city that speared before him.
"Danke Vater." ( Thank you Father) Said a high ranking officer behind him. "Es bringt mich stolz zu hören, Sie sagen, dass." (It brings me great pride to hear you say that.)
"Und stolz du sein solltest. Sie haben das reine Blut der arischen Rasse in Sie und überlegen ist Ihr Vorgänger in jeder Hinsicht. Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis der Rest der Welt sieht die wahre Macht in Deutschland. Rechts Traugott?" (And proud you should be. You have the pure blood of the Aryan race in you and is superior to your predecessor in every way. It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world sees the true power of Germany. Right Traugott?)
"Natürlich!" (Of Course!) Said Traugott as he join Hitler by the window, revealing his blond hair and blue eyes.
