Chapter 14
This chapter will have a lot more dialogue than action. Sorry. (Goes into a closet to hide.)
After the portal closed for a second time, Italy and Romano helped Germany to get back to his feet. His slicked back blonde hair fell in front of his eyes. The only thing that the two Italian brothers heard from him was a groan. Man I hate to admit this, but that really hurt!
The two got him to sit down on a crate to recuperate. Romano patted on his back to get some encouragement out of the serious German man. "Man, talk about a knock out, literally."
Romano tried to enlighten mood, after what he went through himself, but Germany's face remained the same. Emotionless. He sighed, "What now?"
It seemed common for everyone to get down so easily. "Why are you like this Germany?" He looked at him point blank and his emotion was still the same. "I think we all should promote you as the single leader to stop Prussia. It's high time instead of lamenting that we go beyond the set of circumstances that surround us. I know it seems hard for all of us to fight against our closest comrades and friends. But that set aside, we need you."
A nearby kitty meowed on top of Greece's head. In fact, more kitties surrounded him. "I agree with England. Instead of breaking ourselves apart, we need to join our strengths together."
Germany freaked out by the shear number of cats and his body twitched with anxiety. Italy smiled, "Veh!" Of course, he played with the tiny, little kitties and America gained everyone's attention by standing on a cargo box.
"Listen up everyone! Just like in war, the war is not over until your leader rises above the conflict." He lowered his tone, "What do you need us to do?" Everyone nodded their heads in consensus.
He slicked his hair back, picked up the dagger that slashed America's hand, and stabbed it onto a crate. "Listen up everybody, whatever roles Denmark and I gave you, forget them. Latvia, I want you to protect Sealand and Liechtenstein."
All of the pressure made Latvia shook, as always, but Liechtenstein was able to calm him down by holding his hands. "No Germany. You don't need to do that. You saw how I proved myself against France and Spain."
"Fine then, you can protect Sealand. Turkey, Romano, Japan, and China, you guys can take on Spain and France." Germany grabbed a blank piece of paper and pen, and semi-drew the battle plans to come. Lines crisscrossed and circles were drawn as pinpoints. "Turkey and Japan, you two fight Francey Pants. China and Romano, you two will fight against Spain. Finally, Denmark and Netherlands, you will deal with Belarus. I do not want those blades near me, I will personally take on Prussia. Romano, I know you are just recovering from the bullet shot. Can you manage to fight?"
"Don't your worry, I'll take on anything. Especially, if it means that I get another chance to save Spain." Romano pounded his fist into his chest, but right on his wound. He wheezed for air, but was able to catch a breath of air. Talk about stupid.
The plan so far seemed to work, but China realized two parts were missing. "But what about Russia and Austria? Those two will go even more berserk if you get anywhere near Prussia."
"That is the reason why the rest of you guys will take on Russia, Canada, Hungary, and Austria. America, England, and Cuba, you three will deal with Canada. Trembling Trio and Ukraine, you four deal with Russia. I want the rest of Nordics to deal with Austria and Hungary. You guys can divide yourselves accordingly. Belgium, I need you to standby as our nurse. Greece and Switzerland, you two will be my only snipers."
England crossed his arms and nodded in disagreement. "I will have to slightly disagree with you Germany."
Netherlands stood right behind the British man to back him up. "Me too. Let me take on Belarus personally. I feel that the Nordics shouldn't be separated. I know how Denmark and Sweden are at fighting strategies."
Germany looked at both of them pleased and dissatisfied, "That's fine and in what sense?"
A hand of the magician elevated the pen and drew more circles and lines to explain his part of Germany's strategy. "America and Cuba can handle Canada. I need to help you with Prussia. One man against Prussia is guaranteed for failure. However, Netherlands with your size I'm sure you are capable of handling the batty girl. Germany, I will only help to cast a spell to hold Prussia down and let you rescue him from that point. If need be, I'll jab him a little."
The paper became a collage of scribbles and circles, and with the final approval from everyone, a check mark was drawn. Everyone's spirits were lifted. They all felt more reassured and certified that the plan wouldn't go to hell. "I really appreciate that England and I respect your decision and Netherland's. Well we all have trained somewhat, but it is high time to end it now!" Germany grabbed the dagger and held it high yelling, "Nations of the world, it is time to unite our powers together for a common cause! Raise your fists for the power that dwells inside each of us."
Each and single nation, even the younger ones, raised their fists and yelled, "For Prussia!"
With the dagger in his hand, he looked at the blade and saw his reflection. Any person would think of their reflection as normal, but his reflection showed his true feelings and thoughts. Brother, I promised that I wouldn't let you down. Whatever is possessing you, I will do whatever it takes to drive it out of you. Even if it leads to an exorcist, I don't care. His eyes were still locked on the blade and after a couple moments passed, he threw to the side.
He looked at everyone's faces and grabbed his Mauser. "Gather up your weapons everyone, let us draw out the enemy where he abides from."
In his pride and glory, America had to ruin the moment with one stupid question. "Uh dude, how are we going to do that?"
Of course, everyone's faces went blank including Germany's. He blinked for a couple of seconds and blatantly stated, "I absolutely have no idea."
He groaned from his lack of thinking ability, Japan found a way around it. "What about Prussia's bird that was turned into a raven?"
Instinctively, England had a better idea. "We can write a letter requesting the location and time, and then I'll create a portal similar to Prussia's and send it to where ever he lies."
Everyone agreed. No one argued. For once, they finally made progress.
Germany put his hand on England's shoulder, "I will write the letter."
He found a typewriter and couldn't bring himself to write it. It took him about five minutes to get the inspiration to write. Ultimately, he wrote it.
Prussia,
I am prepared to take on whatever you dare to throw at me. The location will be on my home-turf at 3 P.M. tomorrow. You are still my brother and I will do anything it takes to save you from whatever dark power possesses you. Not only will I rescue you, but rescue the others who you took advantage of.
Ludwig
"Can someone find Gilbird for me?" They looked high and low. Surprisingly, Latvia and Sealand found it up in the balcony. The short nations worked together to climb up the cargo boxes and get the raven down. Germany put the letter in a casing and tied it to the raven's leg.
"If you chaps wouldn't mind." Everyone stood back and let England cast his spell. With the spell book in front of him and raven on top, "Oh mighty dark power, allow thee to use the portal of the abyss and permit Gilbird the Raven to travel through with quick haste safely."
A bluish, black portal appeared and the bird flew off the top of his book.
How do I love Pandora Hearts references!
Well, the battle's about to come to a closure! What's going to happen Prussia and his comrades? Will Germany finally have the strength to tackle his brother head on?
Thanks so much everyone! Please R&R! ^_^
