"Aiyaaa!" China cries out, swinging his wok at the creatures nearest him. Letting the backlash from the gun move you backward, you duck China's swinging wok, putting your gun away. You weren't going to need it now that the fighting had started. Your shovel would be enough. You roll to the left, swinging your shovel out wide, bringing several creatures to the ground. You leap to your feet and swiftly smack them over the head. With a snort and a grunt, you swing your shovel again, letting it smack into another creature.
"We've got to get back to the ring!" Britain calls out, ducking a tentacle from one of the creatures. He sends the creature backward with a punch in the stomach. "We can't hold these creatures off forever!"
You nod, wondering just which way was out. As if in answer to your unspoken question, China grabs your arm. "This way," he says to you, starting to move in the direction you were facing. You nod and try to keep up with him while trying to avoid the reaching tentacles of the mutant creatures.
"China! Stormfire" America calls out suddenly. You look up to see a huge monster in front of you. Your eyes go wide as you recognize the creature who had taken you in the first place. The creature snarls at you, lashing out one of its huge, slimy, tentacles towards you. With a swiftness you didn't know anyone could possess, China leaps upward and backward, away from the tentacle. He drops into a crouch his wok at the ready. You move to your left, reading your shovel.
"You'll never esssscape from me," the beast hisses, spitting and foaming at the mouth. "I will keep you, no matter what!"
As the beast is speaking, you notice China jerk his head at the other countries. Quickly moving your eyes back to the beast, you narrow your eyes and growl. "No one takes away my freedom," you say, your voice low. You crouch down, readying your shovel before springing up into the air. You smack the beast over the head, backflipping to land on your feet next to China. The beast roars in fury, lashing out at you. You jump, trying to avoid the swinging tentacle, but fail and get pinned against the wall.
"Stormfire!" Canada calls out upon seeing his friend smacked against the wall.
"No Canada!" Finland cries out, trying to restrain Canada as he rushes to your aid. You sigh, pushing against the tentacle. Nothing was going to keep Canada still, you could tell that. You didn't know why, but Canada didn't like to see anything happen to you.
"You will never essscape me!" the beast cries suddenly, rearing up to its full height, lashing out at Canada and Finland. Your eyes go wide as it picks up you, Canada, Finland, and China. "Now you ssshall never find them!" it screeches, diving headlong into the flames.
"No! Stormfire! Canada" you hear America cry out in anger...fear? "Wow, is the all mighty hero actually worried about us?" you think, a hint of sarcasm in your thoughts. Well, whatever you had heard, you weren't going to find out any time soon, you realize. At the speed you were traveling the other countries would never catch up.
"Hey! You there! Put them down!" a new voice calls out in a stern tone. You look up in shock to see someone in what appeared to be a military uniform. With this person, you assumed it was a he, was a young girl, another guy who had what appeared to be a cat on his head, and a girl who holding what appeared to be a frying pan. You quickly glance over at Canada and saw recognition in his eyes.
"Pleassssantly," the beast says, unceremoniously dropping you and your companions. As you got to your feet, you feel a hand grip your upper arm and look up to see the older girl above you. You smile a thanks at her as she helps you to your feet. "Now we ssshall sssee if you can essscape!" the beast hisses before sliding out the way it came, a heavy door slamming behind it.
