Disclaimer: You know this.
Chapter 13
"All spirits have some form of power, that's what makes us spirits. Now, all of you are nations, which makes you relatively similar to us I would imagine." April said.
"Your powers will probably be closer to magic than ours are and will probably take on different forms depending on the person." Tooth agreed.
"They will also probably take on some form of your countries." Jack nodded.
"The problem we are having, is that we don't know how to unlock them, correct?" Austria asked.
"Well, you've all, already unlocked your powers to some extent." May answered.
"That's the reason some of you have magic, or some control over the weather. As well as making music beautifully and naturally, or building things quickly." April said.
"So, all of our powers will explain the strange ability's we all have?" England questioned.
"As well as our unnatural healing ability's I would imagine." Finland supplied.
"I believe so," North said. "Though, the healing ability's probably come from just being a nation. While your powers are most likely a result of the spiritual contents of your countries."
"Also, before I forget." April said looking completely serious. Seeing that she gained everyone's attention she continued, making her point clear. "All of you must keep these powers a secret, and you must never use them in wars. If we find out that you did, in fact, use your powers in war. There will be severe consequences. You are allowed to use your powers, but stay safe, and never use them to hurt fellow nations or the people of Earth." Slowly and somewhat fearfully the nations all agreed.
"As if we would ever do that, you idiotic bitch." Romano scoffed crossing his arms.
"Good." April smiled cheerfully somewhat freaking the others out.
Austria then suggested that they all move elsewhere with more room to try things. So, with the help of North, everyone moved into a forest. After a moment's pause everyone began to spout ideas on what could, possibly, unlock their powers.
"What if we started with one nation and tried multiple things that come from their culture to see if it does anything?" Spain asked.
"If that doesn't work, we can always try magic." Norway agreed.
"That could work." Tooth said deep in thought.
"Alright, we'll try that." North agreed.
"Let's start with the most obvious." April started.
(America)
"That would be America. He has that unnatural strength." England said.
April nodded and gestured for America to come over.
"It will probably be unlocked through some sort of Native American thing." Prussia supplied.
"Alright, America." May said, "I'd say you know the culture best, what do you suggest?" America thought for a moment then answered.
"Well, Native Americans connect to Nature." America suggested, though it sounded more like a question.
"Try doing things that come naturally to you." Canada said.
America nodded in agreement then proceeded to sit on the forest floor. Everyone watched with bated breath waiting for America to do something. After a moment America moved, as if in a trance, towards a boulder and proceeded to place his hand on it. For a moment, nothing happened, Then America cried out in alarm and pulled his hand back.
"What the hell?!" He shouted stumbling backwards. The spirits gestured for everyone to stay back and not say anything watching America.
Slowly America moved back towards the rock placing his hands on it and closing his eyes. He flinched, but stayed on the rock this time, after a while he nodded and pulled away from the rock. As if he had been taught what to do, America moved naturally. Looking at May he held his fist out to her, keeping it out of the view of the others. Gasping lightly May looked down at America's fist, then back up at said nation.
"My power is nature, I can understand it, and turn parts of my body into the elements. Stone seems to come more naturally than the other elements, though." America said. Turning around he showed everyone else what he had shone May.
Everyone stared in surprise, instead of skin, America's fist was replaced with stone. Making it look like it had been carved, the stone going on and disappearing into his Jacket.
"Dude, if this was so easy. Why the hell didn't we do this sooner?" America questioned, turning his hand back to normal.
"Well, not entirely. Use of your powers will tire you out. You need to train them, just like you would train your body." April answered.
"The reason it's so easy right now is because we are in a very magical place, allowing your powers to naturally form. Another reason that you couldn't do it before is because you didn't believe, or didn't know about your powers." Jack answered.
"How do you all know so much about this?" Denmark asked. The spirits just shrugged.
"Comes with the job." Jack said simply.
"Next!" North shouted.
(Russia)
Russia stepped up before anyone else could.
"I would like to know my power, da." He said simply.
"Right, I think I have a hunch on what your power is. Jack!" May said switching spots with said spirit.
"Your power is most likely the cold. For me I use my staff to channel my power. With you we will need to find a way to channel yours. Just do what comes naturally to you." Jack instructed.
Nodding Russia stood silently thinking about what he should do.
"Don't think, just do." Tooth said.
Russia took a deep breath and cleared his mind only thinking of his home, Russia. Moving naturally Russia formed his left hand into a fist moving it down to his right hip, forming his right hand into a fist as well. Nothing happened for a moment, then the temperature started to decrease, all of the cold air going to Russia's fists, steadily a form began to take shape until Russia stood holding a large ice pipe. Switching to holding the weapon with just his right hand Russia stared at the ice in awe. Of course, the other nations were slightly unnerved by this new power, but they didn't react too badly.
"My power is the cold, I take the cold air around me and use it to my purposes."
"Right, so, from what I gathered your powers are more blocky and icy. Unlike mine, which focus more with frost, obviously." Jack informed Russia, both going back to their spots.
"Alright, England! You're up." April said.
(England)
"You, obviously, already have magic. Even if it is good, it's not the only power you have. We'll be focusing on finding this power and what it does." April said switching with Jack. "It's going to have something to do with your country, so think of all the common things in your home and we should be able to find it out soon."
England sat down on the boulder thinking of what could, possibly be his power. He had quite a lot of magic in his country, but he already had that, so it must be something else.
"Horrible cooking." France announced in a stage whisper.
"Shove it up your arse, bloody frog. My cooking is delicious." England shouted in reply.
"England does have a lot of rain." Japan suggested, trying to stop the oncoming fight.
"Good thinking Japan!" China said. "Try that Opium."
"That is not my name." England mumbled, but complied anyways.
Crossing his legs England sat on the boulder trying to think what to do.
"Try focusing on the water in the pond and aiming your focus on something." April suggested.
Smirking England focused and suddenly there was a raincloud above France's head, complete with miniature thunder and lightning. Succeeding in completely drenching the Frenchman. Cackling at the others misfortune England got down from the rock while France wailed about his ruined hair.
"Mon dieu my hair! It's going to be all frizzy when it dries now." France wailed. "England." He growled.
"My power is rain, such as rain clouds and other such things." England said completely ignoring France.
"If we can find you an object to channel your powers through, you will have more control over it instead of just making rainclouds." Jack said.
"For now, use your sword to help you channel your powers. The channel will result in you being able to shoot rain out of it. Your power is a little like mine, but while I can pull water from the atmosphere, you need some thing to channel your energy instead of just using your body as a channel and yours take less shape mainly creating mists, fogs, and floods." April explained. "You will also be able to coat your sword in a barrier making it sharper and more lethal."
England nodded and was about to head back to his spot when he noticed his back was aching. England rolled his shoulders back and reached to rub the sore spots.
"Bloody hell, my back hurts." England groaned.
"Are your muscles aching, old man?" America teased.
"No! You sodding git." England shouted, only half focusing on America as he tried to rub between his shoulders.
"Here, Arthur, let me." April said going over to the struggling brit, who's back was facing her, preventing the others from seeing his back.
"Thank you, luv." England said, letting his arms fall to his sides. April touched England's back studying it.
"Could you please take off your jacket and shirt, Arthur?" April asked ignoring the strange looks from the others and the questioning one from the Englishman.
"…Alright…" England said unbuttoning his jacket and pulling of his shirt.
As soon as he did two snowy white wings unfurled to their full length behind the brit, causing everyone to gasp.
"Dude, Iggy! You're an angel!" America shouted, unsure whether to move back or step closer.
England craned his neck to look behind him, unconsciously moving his wings closer to him so he could see. Gasping when he saw them, causing his wings to jump slightly. Carefully England tried to move his wings so they were hugging his figure.
"This is so weird." England whispered in awe as he stroked his newly found appendages.
"Let the awesome me feel!" Prussia shouted not even waiting for a response before he ran over and started petting a wing. "So soft." Prussia cooed.
England chuckled lightly wrapping his wings around Prussia finding it strangely easy to move them. Prussia snuggled into the wings grinning like a child on Christmas. Jack flew up to the pair and nudged his way into the bundle cuddling one wing as Prussia continued petting the other. England was full blown laughing now finding the two boys' (yes boys, they're acting like children.) wonder amusing.
"West! Get over here now and feel Brows' wings." Prussia demanded looking over to his brother.
"Bloody hell, I'll let all of you feel them, but we should see everyone else's powers first." England rolled his eyes walking back over to his spot, the two albinos following like puppies. America and Italy also heading over to the Englishman to feel his wings, while Japan handed England clothes more suitable for his wings. (When he did that, no one knows.)
"Why does England have wings? His country isn't exactly the most holy." May asked her sister.
"I don't know. Honestly, I thought the Italy's were going to be angels." April answered. "There was that stage in his history with the holy land, and stuff… maybe that's it."
"Dude, is Iggy always gonna be an angel now?" America asked from his place beside England.
"Use proper grammar, you git." England snarled.
"I highly doubt it, he'll probably be able to change at will, but the wing growing most likely won't be the most comfortable thing in the world." Tooth answered.
"We'll find all that out later. Now, won't we?" England stated impatiently. "Let someone else go, now."
"Alright, who wants to go?" April asked.
(Spain)
"Me next amiga." Spain bounced up to the center of the clearing smiling.
"Any ideas on your power?" Tooth asked.
"The bastard is always attracting fucking turtles." Romano scoffed.
"There we go, your power is probably animals." North said.
"And that means…?" Denmark prompted.
"Animals have a natural attraction to him and he can understand them." Bunny answered.
"Like a Disney princess!" France supplied with a flourish, seeming to have gotten over his little break down. The comment making everyone laugh.
"It makes sense amigo." Spain said turning to face the others. On his head was a rabbit, on his shoulder was a bird, he was holding a turtle in one hand and munching on a tomato with the other, he was also surrounded by other animals. He, literally, looked like he came straight out of a Disney princess film.
Prussia made a weird noise in the back of his throat and America turned red from not being able to breathe. Even Japan giggled a bit, while Austria just snorted.
"What the hell bastard?!" Romano shouted, "Give me a tomato!"
(Hungary)
"I am curious to know my power." Hungary stepped forward.
"Probably something stupid, like making pretty flowers." Prussia said sarcastically. Resulting in him getting hit on the head with a frying pan.
"I highly doubt that, Prussia." May giggled at the albino.
"My money's on something awesome." April said.
"Why's that?" Jack questioned April.
"She's a girl, it's inevitable." April shrugged. This resulted in a snort from Austria.
"What? You don't believe me?" April asked innocently, though there was an unsaid challenge in her words.
"I live(d?) with Hungary, how could I not believe you? It just amused me." Austria answered.
"Good." April nodded.
"Does anyone have any ideas? At all?" China asked, slightly frustrated with trying to come up with what the nations powers could be.
Everyone sat in a frustrated silence, trying to think of the Hungarian's power.
"I have a suggestion." Japan said quietly.
"Yes, Japan?" Finland asked.
"Well, there is this anime, called Fairy Tail..." Those words caused some of the others to perk up in recognition.
"Dude!" America shouted.
"Mein gott! Are you kidding me?!" Prussia shouted. "Why the hell does she have to have that power?! I am so dead!" Prussia groaned dramatically.
"I told you! I told you it'd be something awesome!" April shouted excitedly.
"Could you share with the rest of the fucking class?!" Romano questioned sarcastically.
"I'm confused amigos." Spain said.
"She's just like Erza!" America shouted excitedly practically bouncing with how happy he was.
"Who?" Denmark asked, cocking his head to the side in a questioning manner.
"Erza's a character in Fairy Tail, she has magic. Her magic is weapons summoning, and she is awesome." Prussia explained. "Unlike some people." He added under his breath.
"I heard that." Hungary said her eyebrow twitching in annoyance. Prussia looked at Hungary with his best innocent look (which is quite good, mind you.) and gestured for her to continue. "So, my power is weapons summoning? How do I do that?" April opened her mouth to answer, but quickly shut it again when she drew a blank. Everyone stared at each other, but no one seemed to be able to think of anything.
"Concentrate on something, and think about what kinds of weapons you want. You can either make it appear in your hand or at your object of concentration." Norway supplied.
Doing as she was told Hungary focused on the object of her annoyance. Not a few seconds later, did Prussia find himself face to face with a sword. It took him a moment to process that there was a sword pointed at him, but when he did his reaction was hilarious. He fell off of the rock he was sitting on, next to England, and onto his butt then proceeded to crab crawl backwards.
"What the hell!" He shouted.
From the other side of England Jack had fallen off his perch from laughing so hard. Hungary smirked in triumph and walked haughtily back to her place next to Austria.
(France)
"France, get your ass over here." April said gesturing for the Frenchman to come over.
"Yes, mon ami?" He asked pulling a rose seemingly out of nowhere and handing it to April, who merely took it with a roll of her eyes.
"Your turn." She said, tucking the rose into her hair and gesturing for May to take her place.
"Right, you power's a lot like mine." She started.
'Ironic' April and May thought at the same time.
"So I can use plants?" He asked.
"How else do you think you make roses appear out of nowhere?" May asked, gesturing to April for emphases, who was now having her hair messed with by; the Italy's, Spain, and Hungary.
"Oh… right." France said sheepishly.
"Right, let's start." May said holding up a seed. "What you're going to do is picture your energy flowing through you. Then focus on channeling it through your palm and into the seed."
"This is what all of you are doing with your powers, in some way." April said. "Hungary focuses her energy into a weapons inventory, which is like a small dimension outside of our own. England focuses his energy in the water around him, in order to fly, and move the water. All of you are doing it, both consciously and instinctually."
"So France is the one who can summon pretty flowers." Prussia snickered climbing back onto the rock. France shot his friend a withering glare, a second later a vine whipped out and hit the Prussian.
"Damn it! Why the hell is everyone hitting me?!" Prussia asked as he, once again, climbed onto the rock.
"Because you deserve it." Everyone deadpanned. Prussia opened his mouth to retort, but quickly shut it when he could think of nothing to say. Instead opting to cross his arms with a huff.
"Careful with your emotions. Your powers will lash out with what you feel." May warned.
"Then, how come Hungary's powers didn't lash out at me before?" Prussia challenged.
"Well, she didn't exactly know how to use her powers then. Did she? Plus, she already hit you with her frying pan, anyways." April answered.
"Look!" France announced, his voice filled with pride. In his hand he was holding a whip made of woven vines and one rose vine giving it thorns.
"That looks painful." China winced, Finland humming his agreement.
"Let's take a break for a bit, then get back to this." North said plopping down onto the ground.
"Yeah." Everyone agreed.
