"Follow me."

"We're trying!"

"Ow, dude!"

"Shh!"

"Don't shush the awesome me!"

"I wasn't doing it to you!"

"Oh."

"Wait a tick, what's that way?"

"What way?"

"That way, you bloody idiot!"

"You're mean."

"Ugh."

"Aiya! Will everyone just not talk?"

"Ve?"

"No!"

"Hey!"

"Guys.."

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!"

"..."

"..."

"Okay. Just keep going, and be quiet."

"Does this always happen in your dimension?"

"...pretty much."

Kurai stood in front of the mirror. He bent his head forward and lightly brushed the pink scar on the back of his neck.

Hakari followed the sounds of yelling. It sounded an awful lot like Germany, but he hoped they weren't foolish enough to make their presence known. He found the air vent, which was below him. He removed a tile to see where they were.

Hakari swallowed. They were right above Not-Italy. Oh dear. He slowly crawled forward. Suddenly there was a crack and several tiles broke, falling to the floor. Hakari along with them. Not-Italy looked at him. "Hmm. Seems my efforts were futile. You were here the whole time." Hakari coughed. Not-Italy called for the other nations. Not-France, Not-Prussia, Not-Sweden, Not-Iceland, and Kurai.

Hakari gripped his katana.

Iceland had no idea where he was. He woke up in a locked room and so far no one had come to see him or anything. Several alarms and such had gone off and he had seen the double of several countries, including himself.

He sighed and sat in the corner. He would just have to keep waiting.

Everyone froze when they heard the crack. They heard Italy's voice except it wasn't light or bubbly. "Hmm. Seems my efforts were futile. You were here the whole time." China mentally kicked himself. Not-Belarus had everyone go forward. Then someone banged the side of the vent with their foot.

"Oops."

"America!"

Then there were shots fired and the entire vent fell to the ground. The nations groaned and coughed out the dust. The Not-nations pulled them out, pointing guns and knives in their faces.

Not-Prussia looked at Prussia. "You like your brother?" Prussia nodded/shrugged. Not-Prussia snorted. "You don't?" Prussia asked. Not-Prussia looked at him. "Are you kidding me? I hate my brother. Or I did. He's dead, anyway. I killed him." Prussia gave him the jeez-you-ain't-awesome-you're-crazy look.

Not-Finland looked his double up and down. Then cupped Finland jaw roughly. "You are so weak. Pathetic." He pushed Finland away in disgust. Finland rubbed his jaw. Ow.

Not-Sweden and Sweden just looked at each other. That's it.

Not-Canada strolled in. Then stopped, seeing the scene. "Oh! Well, then." He looked at all of them. "Our work is done." Not-Canada looked at Not-America. "Hey, bro. How's the life of a lab rat treating you?" Not-America looked at him, his eyes betraying his emotions. Fear, sadness, hatred. "Oh, don't be that way, brother," Not-Canada whined.

Not-America looked away. Not-Canada rolled his eyes and looked at America. "Well, well, well. You're the replacement." He looked America in the eye. "So, how are you in your dimension?" America shrugged. "Clumsy, stupid, insanely strong, hero, ready to knock you on your ass.." Not-Canada punched him in the stomach.

"Don't ever think you're better than me."

America looked up at him. "Why? 'Cause I am?" he asked weakly.

Not-Canada kicked him in the gut. America doubled over. "Stop!" Canada yelled. Not-Canada whirled on him. He snorted at the sight of him. "I'm just not even going to acknowledge your existence."

Not-Italy looked at all of them. "Enough."

Like I said before, thank you all! :P Ugh, I'm in health class and I've missed several vocab days in order to write my books. *sigh* Yeah, I know...I'm obsessed. But hey, why not enjoy it while it lasts? :)
