Oliver awoke startled. He sat up, finding himself in quite a large room. The walls were painted white and the floors made of wood. A large window allowed light into the room.
He looked around, noticing that he wasn't the only one in the room.
Beside him lay Matt and Allen, both propped against the wall. Luciano was laying on his side, Flávio next to him, the Italian's not being too far from him. Gillen, Francois and Andrés were on the opposite side of the room, sprawled awkwardly next to each other. Lutz had his back to the wall and Kuro was slumped beside him. Viktor lay completely flat against the wall, Xiao using him as a pillow.
"How did this happen?" the Brit asked, not expecting a reply as everyone else was still unconscious.
He stood up and approached Matt and Allen.
"Matty~ Al~" Oliver called, trying to rouse them.
"Hmm... Oliver?" Matt yawned and sat up completely, taking a chance to look around the room.
"Where are we?" Allen asked, gaining both Matt and Oliver's attention.
"I just woke here myself." the Brit hummed, helping the brother's to their feet.
"It's strange, this place feels familiar." Matt contemplated as the trio approached the next two 2p's closest to them, Flávio and Luciano.
Flávio stretched and yawned loudly, looking up at the three who neared them.
"Oh ciao! Wait... where are we?" the Italian greeted smiling before his expression changed into a puzzled one.
"Hello Flávio~ I don't really know, we just woke up here." Oliver explained quite happily.
"Oh ok. Luci~" Flávio called his brother, going to give him a hug. But before he could do so, the younger Italian woke up and glared at him.
"Sorry fratello." Flavio whined, getting to his feet.
Luciano only giving him a half-hearted glare before examining the room.
"Where the hell are we?"
"We don't know either." Matt shrugged.
As everyone started to wake up, they discussed what had happened and where they were.
"I heard this voice in my head, over and over again." Viktor stated, the other 2p's agreeing with it.
"It got louder until I stood in front of a mirror. There, it just stopped." Lutz added, quite confused with what had happened.
"I was pulled through the mirror and then everything went dark." Flávio explained to the others.
"And we end up here. Where exactly is here though?" Allen asked, no one actually having the answer.
The twelve 2p's, Oliver, Allen, Matt, Flávio, Luciano, Kuro, Lutz, Francois, Gillen, Andrés, Viktor and Xiao, were seated in a rough circle.
"You must bridge the gap between the two worlds. That's what the voice said." Luciano muttered gaining the attention of the room. "Maybe we are in another world?" the short Italian's suggestion made the whole room freeze.
Oliver remembered what he had red from the book... the book that he somehow still had with him.
"I remember something." the Brit hummed, as the room's attention was on him. He placed the book down and rapidly flipped through it, searching for the certain page.
"I found it. I had been feeling quite off, so I found this book and red this page. It explains something about two worlds colliding if the balance between the two is made uneven. It also states that, 'You must bridge the gap between the two worlds.' After reading this the voices appeared in my head." Oliver finished explaining, passing the old book around so the other 2p's could view it.
"So what your saying is that it's your fault we heard voices in our heads and were pulled through a mirror." Kuro asked, his tone slightly sarcastic.
"We should most likely presume we are in a different dimension." Viktor spoke up, his face serious.
"Yes-" Oliver had started but was cut off by a loud voice echoing a short distance from the room they sat in.
"I'm the hero! Hahahaha hahahaha!"
"What was that?" The 2p's sat upright, some even jumping up into defensive positions.
"Can you ever be quiet for once?" a voice sighed. The voices grew louder until it sounded like they were just outside of the room the 2p's were in.
"I'm going to get a cup of tea before I end up punching you." a voice stated with a sneer and footsteps could heard walking away.
"Alright then I'll get set up!" was yelled by the louder male before the door to the room came flying open, slamming into the wall.
The 2p's were horrified at the appearance of the male. Alfred took one look at the occupants of the room before his face scrunched up.
"Who the hell are you dudes?!" Alfred exclaimed, noticing a certain red head that looked very similar to himself.
"More like who the hell are you and why do you look like me?!" Allen yelled jumping up.
"I heard yelling what's going-?" Arthur was mid sentence before taking note of the room and the 2p's.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" the Brit asked, his eyes narrowed.
Oliver gulped, it was like looking at a reflection of himself, except duller.
"We don't know where we are, we just woke up here!" the Brit answered his look alike.
"You don't know where you are? That's a load and I know it." Arthur stated smugly, crossing his arms.
The 2p's exchanged uncertain glances before Luciano stomped forward.
"Listen here idioti! We don't know where we are or how we got here!" the Italian spat, glaring up at the American and British man.
Alfred gave Luciano a puzzled glance before bursting out laughing.
"Oh god you look like Feliciano! Except angrier!" the American couldn't stop laughing, the other occupants of the room didn't see the funny side to it.
"How is that even funny you git?!" Arthur exclaimed nearly ready to strangle the idiot American.
"I don't see what's funny either? Can someone explain?" Oliver asked quite confused. The other 2p's shrugged, as lost as the Brit.
"Do you want me to punch you?" Luciano asked more than irritated by the American's behaviour. Before the feisty Italian could do such a thing though, Matt grabbed his wrist and dragged him back to the other side of the room.
"We don't want that." the tall Canadian replied and Luciano huffed.
"Hahahaha! ... So where were we?" Alfred got over his laughing fit and straightened up. Arthur's face looked as if he were about to loose it. He went to say something but was interrupted.
"Ve~ Alfred, Arthur we found you!" A small male exclaimed happily as he and another strolled into the room.
"Honhonhon Angleterre~ I found you!" the Frenchman called smirking, reaching for Arthur's waist.
"Oh?." Feliciano noticed the others in the room, who were staring at him quite strangely.
The 2p's looked astounded at the sight of Luciano and Francois's look alikes. They might have looked like the two, but their personalities were a complete 180 degree switch.
"Okay I'm getting kinda annoyed now. You better start explaining the truth!" Alfred's loud voice and slightly annoyed tone quietened the room in seconds.
"We told you we don't know!" Luciano spat once more.
Feliciano wasn't really focused on the others in the room, well not until the one that looked exactly like him shouted at Alfred.
He was confused until he remembered something that had been told to him thousands of years ago.
Now that he looked over the stranger's, he noticed similarities. They resembled every one of his friends and family. There was one that looked like Arthur, Francis, Alfred, Matt, Lovino, Kiku, Ludwig, Ivan, Yao, Antonio, Gilbert and even himself.
"I remember something!" Feli exclaimed happily gaining the attention of the room.
Arthur sniggered. "This'll be good."
"Go ahead Feli." Alfred returned the wide smile.
"Well I noticed that these guys all resembled us and then I remembered something grandpa Rome told me. He told me a story about the different worlds out there, how there was one that was very like our own, but different at the same time. I remember something about there being personified countries, just like us, they looked like us too, but acted completely different. I was told that we could contact the other world through mirrors. And... there was something else... something about a balance of worlds." Feliciano finished leaving everyone in the room speechless, the 1p versions of the nations more so.
"So are you saying these guys could be like our opposites?" Alfred asked, believing the 2p's story now.
Arthur looked astounded, he hadn't been expecting Feliciano to say such a reasonable answer. It actually made sense.
the blonde Brit sighed before stepping closer. "Were you by any chance pulled through a mirror?"
Oliver, seeing as his look alike was speaking, answered. "Yes, we all were. We heard the same voice in our heads and then we were pulled through the mirror." his explanation went unanswered for a few moments.
Arthur furrowed his eyebrows. Knowing magic, he understood to some extent what had happened.
"I think I know what happened, and none of us are going to like the answer. But first I think we should discuss this... to the others." Arthur explained, gesturing to the 2p's.
"You know what happened. Can't you tell us now?" Matt tried to reason, all of them wanting the answer.
"No reason to explain it twice. Once we are all together I will explain. Now, we have a meeting to get to." the Brit continued.
The 2p's were a little uncertain and restless. They felt out of place, especially when compared to their look alikes.
"We shall go Angleterre~" Francis flirted, reaching down past the British man's waist.
"Oh piss off frog!" Arthur punched Francis in the face and strolled out the door, Alfred and Feli not far behind.
Oliver winced as he watched the other world Frenchman get punched, that would've hurt.
After Alfred, Feliciano, Arthur and Francis had left the room the 2p's slumped down once more.
"So those look alikes are actually our counterparts?" Flávio asked, a little confused about the process.
"Yes. Did you not listen to Luci's look alike's story? He practically saved our asses." Allen explained. His tone started off as sarcastic but ending on a slightly grateful note.
"Don't call me Luci!" said Italian snapped and was ignored.
"I guess we just have to wait until they return. Until then, what?" Oliver explained, the room going quiet after that.
Okay so the second chapter is finished, I hope it was a good as you all expected.
