Just wanna let you know, this story is PRE TYPED, it's an idea I've been working on for a while and happened to finish so I decided to post like some of my other completed stories! (The Dragon's Journey Home, No Matter What, All the Trouble That your Worth, are a few) This also means that my actual working stories, (Draconem Rising and the Chrysalis Academy, to name a couple) Will not be ignored!
AHHH! No one guessed right on who's gonna die! I couldn't kill off China he's my favorite character! Heck, I'm gonna cosplay as him at some point this year! *Don't judge I only picked him over Belarus because my hair was the wrong color to do her.* Ok, please don't kill me or stop reading because of this chapter I promise you you will come to understand this! Seriously, I'm, like, really scared you guys will quit because of this so please just be nice and keep reading! Alright...here we go.
"Good thing Headmaster puts a tracker in our uniforms. I can track down China and Japan this way. It'll be some tricky hacking work, though, I don't have the pass codes." Tino said as his fingers clattered across his keyboard. Emil was scrolling through a screen of possible exit routes with Lukas prepping the weapons and Mathias watching, his expertise not being of use at the moment.
"Japan!?" The twins both looked shocked, and Li looked relieved to hear that what Emil had said had been the truth.
"Well...duh." Mathias said.
"But...Kiku is with you too?"
"Do not use anyone's names right now!" Lukas ordered sharply, turing a harsh glare upon the twin who had spoken.
"Ok! Ok! Sorry..." Yong Soo exclaimed, trying not to make Lukas any more ticked than he already was.
Sweden picked up their speed as they passed by the destruction Norway had caused. The smaller side windows and back windows of the van giving view to craters in the street and unconscious members of Morgan's squad scattered about like leaves blown by the wind.
"Stop!" Emil screamed suddenly.
Sweden slammed on the brakes and everyone was thrown forward as the van lurched to a stop.
Li, Yong Soo, and Hyung Soo all stared in slack jawed shock out the small side window they shared to see something they never imagined they'd see.
Their two older brothers, missing for years, one always kind and loving, the other soft spoken and shy.
Viciously beating a squad of armed attackers into the ground.
"Duck!" Yao shouted, his brother obeyed, dropping down on one knee as the Chinese used his back as a launchpad and flew through the air, both feet connecting with the charging man's chest.
Yao flipped backwards off of his weight as he slammed to the floor.
"The van!" Yao barked.
"Hai!" Kiku sprinted suddenly towards a corner shielded by shadows, reached in, and picked up the limp form of his sister.
"MEI!" The three brothers yelled out, crowding each other to see out the window as Kiku ran for the van.
Tino threw open one of the back doors and Kiku handed Mei up into Mathias's arms. The Dane cradled her against his chest to make sure she didn't fall as he pulled back into the car.
"Go!" Kiku ordered, stepping back and slamming the door shut.
Without getting in himself.
"Japan!" Emil cried as Kiku turned and immediately was confronted by one of the attackers trying to force his way onto the van. Kiku shoulder tackled the goon, backing him up and giving the van precious room to move without hitting someone.
"Sve, give us some space!" Mathias called as he laid Mei onto Yong Soo's lap.
"Mei Mei..." Yong Soo whispered as he brushed the hair from his face, checking for bruises or blood.
"She was only knocked unconscious, it might be a light concussion but she'll be fine, I promise." Emil said as he checked Mei's head with the medical training that, naturally, was also administered at Hetalia Academy, hoping to be soothing.
Sve pulled forward down the rest of the demolished street and drove off around the corner, stopping there and getting out himself.
"Fin, take the wheel." He ordered in his deep voice as he took off to aid Yao and Kiku.
"I'm going to! I want to show these goons who they're messing with!" Iceland opened the back door, swung his legs out, and chased after Sweden.
"Idiot."
A still scraped up and slightly charred Lukas muttered while following him.
"No way you get all the fun! I'm gonna help!" Mathias was after them as well.
"Guys! Wait!" Finland called after them as they all plunged into the alleyway where the men had pinned the older students.
Tino's mind was whirling as he tried to figure out the best odds for survival of the four V.I.P's that Rome had trusted them to protect.
I can't fight, I'm not strong enough to hold off more than one of those guys. I probably couldn't even handle that. I know these three are trained in martial arts like Yao said, but they're all shell shocked from what's going on, their two missing brothers return, their home explodes, their sister gets knocked out cold by a squad of armed men sent to capture them. There's no way they can stay focused in a fight after all that. But, I need to protect them...how?
If there was to be a time when Tino's calculating mind let him down, it wasn't going to be today.
"Alright, I need you guys to listen to me, do you know where the grocery store is?"
"Store!?" Li asked, appalled that Tino was talking about grocery's at a time like this.
"Go there, get inside, and stay somewhere with a lot of people. Morgan doesn't want to expose himself as a criminal, and his men wear the company logo, so his men won't be able to follow you into a crowded area without being exposed."
"What about you?" Yong Soo asked as Hyung Soo lifted up their unconscious sister.
"I have to stay with the van and man the heavy weapons we do have. If they decide to follow you I'll shoot them into the sky. Now go!"
The four of them leapt out of the van and sprinted in the direction of the more densely crowded parts of town, instead of the empty lots and deserted homes they were currently surrounded by.
Once Tino was positive they would make it, he pressed a button that folded away part of the divider wall so he could get to the steering wheel when necessary, trying to shake the bad feeling creeping up on him like a spider ensnaring him in a web.
Inside the alleyway.
Mathias caught a final soldier of Morgan in the stomach with his shoulder and heaved him off of the ground, violently ramming him into the brick wall.
"Is...that all of...them?" Emil asked between heavy breaths, rubbing his scraped and bruised knuckles.
"Hai." Kiku said, looking around at the downed squadron sent to attack them.
"Not yet."
The seven snapped their heads up to see a man in a pristine black pinstriped suit standing up on the edge of the building that made up one side of the alley they were in. He had a waxy pale complexion. He had cold light brown hair in a tousled style, watery pale blue eyes, and he was holding a small black remote.
"You...your Rooke Morgan himself!" Emil shouted, pointing up at him.
Morgan's cruel blue eyes glinted as he straightened his black tie.
"Oh yes, that is correct, and you must be Rome's brats. From his beautiful new school that I used to attend. It should have been me you call Headmaster, not that worthless buffoon."
"Headmaster Rome was a better operative than you every were!"
Mathias shouted, confident in their superiors abilities.
Morgan sneered.
"I want to see Rome. I want to see his beloved new school crash and burn. I want to see his face crack and split with despair as all of his faithful operatives die, or are finally caught up to for their crimes."
"Your one to talk about crime!" Emil pointed up at the man.
"You only made your fortune through deceitfulness and dishonesty!" He shouted, dropping his arm to the side with his hands balling into fists.
Morgan shook his head at him.
"Your far to young to understand such things. I've got something though, something that will make Rome give me what I want. I want war, I want to prove that my army is far superior to his 'students'."
He held out his remote.
"And I have just the way to do it."
He pressed the button.
Around the corner and a couple hundred yards up the street, Tino's van erupted into a fireball. The heat was felt all the way in the alley, all of the teens crossing their arms over their faces from the sudden rippling wave.
All of the Nordic's, along with the two asian brothers, stared, eyes wide with disbelief, as Morgan dropped the remote and crushed it beneath his heel.
"Well...I'll be seeing you all soon."
With that, he turned as disappeared from the rooftop.
The moment he was out of sight, the group of operatives ran out of the alleyway and around the corner to be met with a horrifying sight.
The van was nothing but a burnt out skeleton. The roof had been blasted off and lay, bent up like nothing but a tin can, a few feet away.
"No..." Yao whispered, Kiku had put a hand over his mouth.
"No...no..."
They all stood there, frozen, when.
"Aniki!"
Yao could have cried with relief when he and Kiku's four younger siblings came tearing from the opposite direction.
"We're alright!" Li called.
Hyung Soo was still carrying Mei bridal style, his twin and Li were right behind him as the entire family swamped together in a hug. Yao took Mei instantly into his arms and clutched tightly at her prone yet breathing form.
"Thank god."
Yao caught Kiku murmuring as the Japanese was pulled into a hug by Yong Soo.
"Wait...where's Finn?"
The Nordic had all been smiling at the family reuniting when they realized a certain cheery Finnish teen hadn't been among them.
"He was in...oh my god is that the van?"
Li asked in horror as he stared at the flaming heap of metal and smoke and warped electronics.
"No...Finny, he wasn't in the van? Fin wasn't in there, right!?" Mathias demanded, his voice cracking.
Hyung Soo nodded stiffly.
"Tino!" Mathias wailed his dear friends true name as Lukas covered his eyes, Sweden clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, and Emil froze up.
"Guys..."
Emil moved forward toward the intense heat of the far from dying flames and picked up something he'd spotted a couple yards from what once had been their van.
He lifted the still warm, flat, slightly puffy hat that had almost always been perched jauntily atop their team's techie's head.
Emil held the hat with both hands, tears pricking at his eyes as he saw the dark liquid staining the inside.
"Blood..." He hissed as he felt helpless tears roll down his cheeks, shoulders shaking.
All of them were trapped, in a moment where, for the first time in history, Hetalia Academy lost an operative in the field.
Yep. Tino. Raise your hand if you didn't see that coming. I'm so sorry Finny! Again, please, I know people will stop reading because of character death but keep reading I swear you won't regret it! So, please favorite, please follow, please vent your anger in reviews! Thanks!
