Chapter 10

'It is never easy to redraw something to suit everyone, particularly if that picture is a tainted Europe, quarrels did indeed break out and we did become rather suspicious of each other's aims. Whilst we were distracted in our arguments however Napoleon had likely seen this as an opportunity to escape from exile and re-establish an army...'

Upon hearing the news of the escape of France's former boss the other nations all reacted in fear, Prussia and Austria cried out angrily whereas a dark shadow suddenly fell over Russia's face.

'That sneak!' cried Austria 'How could it be?' he looked like he was about to faint from shock of hearing the news

'It cannot be!' snarled Prussia 'Not after all we went through to try to crush him...'

'As much as I regret to tell you Gilbert, Napoleon is back and he is probably reassembling an army as we speak...' Britain told Prussia grimly

'Well let's not sit on our backsides then!' growled Austria 'Let's get out there onto the battlefield!'

'After all Napoleon put through the nations of Europe he deserves to pay!' hissed Prussia

'You are both right...' sighed Britain 'But whatever happens, it will not be easy, Napoleon is crafty in the art of warfare, we shall have to use our cunning somehow...'

'Will we be able to trust you this time?' asked Prussia, frowning slightly

There was a moment of silence and then Britain sighed 'I am afraid I won't be able to promise anything but in these dark times I think it is only right that we step away from our quarrels and suspicions and that we start to have faith in each other again once again...'

'You can count on me then!' yelled Prussia for the other nations to hear 'France's arse will be sore in the morning after the awesomeness of Prussia defeats him!'

'Show off!' grumbled Austria

'Ah but you are just envious Roderich!' laughed Prussia mockingly pointing at his rival

'You'll get a sore arse in a minute!' spat Austria to Prussia who was still grinning smugly

'You two please give a rest!' groaned Britain 'We will never get anything sorted out if we just continue to argue like angry crows! That's exactly how Napoleon slipped out of our grasp as we were unawares!'

Austria and Prussia then abruptly fell silent, though they were still glaring at each fiercely, before Britain went on to say

'All the great powers must come together if we are to defeat Napoleon for good, we will need to show unity once again if we are to bring peace once and for all! Now who's with me?!'

There was a long pause but then the other three great powers looked at each other and nodded slowly at Britain

'Let us go forward into battle then!' announced Britain loudly 'Let us show that Francypants once and for all that the Great Powers of Europe are not meant to be tampered with!'
