Hello!~ Guess who's got the next Instaaallment!?~ Moi. Last we left off, everyone was sleeping soundly in Canada's car after rescuing America and England. So far, they have Romano, Kuma, America and England. They seem to be in a comatose state, and our three heroes are trying to find a cure as well as a way to eliminate the aliens. I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter, also...Actually, no I think that's it xD Enjoy!~

It was pitch black and there was no one around. Italy turned in a full circle and cupped his hands around his mouth. "Hello? Anyone?" How did I even get here? Wasn't I just sleeping? Italy wasn't sure what to do and after a few minutes of standing around, he began walking forward. It was deathly silent and he couldn't even hear his own footsteps.

Italy paused. "I-Is someone there?" He listened closely and looked around, even though he couldn't really see anything. "I thought I heard..."

Why did you leave us? Why did you let this happen? This is your fault.

Coward...

Idiot...

"J-Japan!? What is this?!"

you courd have saved us...

"No, I couldn't have!"

You didn't want to. You didn't even try. You just ran. Again...You arways run away...arways.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want this to happen, really!"

Is that the truth? What did we ever do wrong to you? We were arways there for you and you pay us back by leaving us!

"No! Stop this please!" Italy frowned and began running in a random direction. "Where the heck am I?"

This is your faurt...If you had not been so weak, so pathetic...No wonder your brother is never around to be with you, your embarrassing.

"That's not true! You're not Japan! Wake up, Italy...wake up!" Italy began rolling up his sleeve. He rubbed his arm and took a deep breath before pinching his arm really hard.

The darkness started to become more, and before long Italy couldn't see his arm. An ear shattering screech filled the darkness and everything was shaking.

The next thing he knew, he was in the car again and someone was shaking him violently and yelling something. "W-What?! What's going on?" "Italy, wake up! We got like three of them! Around the car!" Italy looked around and sure enough there were three aliens running around the car and pounding on the windows and side of the car. "Damn it! The windows breaking, guys!" Canada pulled out his gun and rolled down the window. He aimed his gun and shot the alien in its big, bald head.

The alien fell and twitched on the ground. Green-ish grey goop dribbled from its wound and it made sort of a gurgling noise. "Got one, Italy are you alright? We could really use your help!" Italy blinked and turned around in the car. "Sealand...I need my flag. I left it in the back." Sealand reached up and grabbed around for the flag. Once he got it, he handed it to Italy and Italy turned back around. "I'll take out the last two, watch my back, okay?"

Canada was ready to argue but Italy had already opened the door and kicked back the alien by the door. He swung at the first one and sliced right into its head. The third alien ran around the car towards him and Canada readied his gun. Italy pulled his blade free and spun around just in time to stab the other alien in the head. Canada slowly lowered his gun and watched Italy. Was he...shaking?

Canada climbed out and walked around to Italy. "That was...pretty fast. Um, good job, I guess." Italy flung some goop off the blade and nodded. "Yea...Let's just get out of here." Canada grabbed Italy's hand gently. "Are you okay? You seemed kind of...off. If something's wrong, we can rest for a bit more or something." "No. I wanna get rid of these things, and I want everyone to go back to being normal." Canada nodded and they both headed back to the car.

"Hey, Italy, you said Japan was in England's place right? I didn't see him." Italy sighed and looked out the window. "Are we sure we checked the entire house?" "As far as I know. We can take one last look but I don't think we'll find anything." Italy nodded and began to get out the car. "Sealand, come on. I don't wanna leave you here alone." Sealand followed and frowned. "Do I have to go back...?" Canada took his hand and in they went.

They searched around the house again. This time they started upstairs. They checked America's room first, then the guest room and lastly England's room. "Alright, let's see..." Italy searched the dresser and Sealand rummaged through papers and books on the shelf and floor in front of the shelf. Canada checked a trunk located at the end of the bed for anything. "You guys find anything?" Italy jumped up and spun around. "I found a key! It looks pretty rusted and gross." Canada tilted his head in confusion and crossed his arms. "But we checked all the rooms already. Unless this unlocks like...another dresser or closet or something." "Well, let's find out."

They decided to check England's closet first since they were in his room already. They opened the closet and it seemed to be pretty normal. Sealand stepped into the closet and pressed his hands against the back of the closet. Something clicked and the back gave way. Sealand slipped forward a bit but was able to balance himself before he fell down the long flight of stairs. "Well, I'll be damned..."

Canada and Italy stepped forward and peered down with Sealand. "Down we go!"

The three of them went down the stairs slowly. "Man, these must be a pain to climb back up." Sealand muttered to himself. When they finally reached the bottom of the steps, there was a huge room with many bookshelves and tables with other books and papers scattered around. "This is going to take a while...I'll take the bookshelves over there, and you and Italy can search there. I wanna cover as much ground as possible but I don't want you to be by yourself, just in case." Sealand nodded. "I wasn't much help in the car, sorry. I kind of...freaked out. But the next time I really will beat the crap out of them, I won't let them get the jump on me like before!" Canada smiled and nodded. "Good, we need all the strength we can get."

The three of them searched the large room as best they could. It took about two hours to get a quarter of the room done. They were pooped and so far, have found nothing on these creatures. The three of them sat in the back, near a table with papers scattered everywhere. "I'm exhausted now...All that reading made my brain hurt. And still...NOTHING!" Sealand groaned and tossed a book he was previously holding. " Oi, don't toss the books. And I'm sure we'll find something eventually. We just have to keep looking, for our friends sake." Italy stood up and walked to a nearby table. "There are all these books about fairies, goblins, different magical wards and spells...But I don't see anything on aliens or anything..." Canada got up and started helping Italy. "I don't understand why he has nothing on aliens or any type of...creature like that, y'know?" They continued searching the books for anything they might have missed. "I'm gonna go check over there. I don't think I checked there yet." Canada left Italy and Sealand and began searching another table with what looked like crystal shards and vials of...blood.

He didn't see anything at first. There was a locked drawer, but Canada didn't have a key. "Damn it, with all the keys and the locked crap!" "Need help?" Canada jumped a mile high at the sudden voice behind him. "God, Sealand, don't DO that! And yes, I do need some help. Do you have a key of some sort? Or can you help me find one?" Sealand smirked. "And how do you think I get into the meeting hall all the time, desu yo?" Sealand stepped forward and pulled a pin of some sort from his pocket. He began picking at the lock and soon got it open, giving a happy fist pump. Canada raised an eyebrow and smiled.

They checked the drawer which didn't have much. It had a dusty book, a few papers that weren't of importance, and some other miscellaneous stuff. "Alright, let's see what's in here..." Canada lifted up the book and began flipping through it.

April 23rd, Tuesday

I decided to do some research. And I don't mean magical research or any of the sort. I researched things like aliens and...Tony. I didn't get much but what I did get was (and I made sure it was factual from America) this:

1) Aliens age but they can live for very long periods of time. Some species, as told by Tony, do not live long.

2) Aliens, like Tony, use their venom as sort of a...what's the word for it, as a sort of sleeping tonic. Once the venom is in their system, eventually alien like cells will begin to grow and mutate in the person and a parasite will grow in them. I'm not sure what happens when the parasite is...well ready to come out of the host. I'm not sure I want to know.

3) anyway, lastly, Tony told me, well told America who told me, that his species does have sort of a queen. And the queen can lay up to thousands of eggs at a time. Very interesting.

I, of course, need more information on this and I will talk to America again. Right now, he's playing video games and when he starts playing those video games, he doesn't listen to anything around him...

Canada nodded and flipped the page. "I don't know if this helps. I mean, the aliens we've run in to have done that venom thing but if this is talking about the alien we're dealing with, then that would mean...They have some sort of parasite in them. Ugh..." Sealand made a disgusted face. "Keep reading, maybe there's more. Maybe he wrote of a way to get the venom out or something." Canada nodded and continued reading.

April 29, Monday

Finally. I was able to talk to Tony himself. He seemed pretty annoyed that I wanted to talk to him about his home land and such. He said he'd talk though, thankfully.

Now, the information I got from him was that his species was very strong, and they can use a gooey substance to create barriers, or protective shields of some sort. They also use this to store their food. They keep it alive and when they are ready to eat their prey, they tear it out of its little shell and well...eat it. These species don't digest food like we do, through feces and urine. They vomit back out their food. It's really gross...

What really caught my interest though was the queen thing. Now, I said before the queen can lay thousands of eggs, which Tony told me was true. The queen as well as the rest of the species like dark places.

This is really interesting! I hope I never meet such creatures...but I doubt there will be a time when I will actually need this...Still, the more you know, I guess.

Uhm, I think that was it. If I can gather any more info I'll jot it down. As I said before, this info is interesting but I don't think I'll need it at any point in time...

Well then...

Canada flipped some more pages but they were blank. "Okay...So...I'm gonna hold onto this. So, basically, they are...creating little nests in our houses? For their food? And they vomit out their food...and apparently there's a queen so...we have to find and kill the queen...I..." Sealand looked up at Canada wide eyed. "They were going to eat me! I was left alive, not in that-that weird coma state! They have parasites in them! What are we supposed to do!? They're gonna become the next Aliens movie!" Canada placed his hands on Sealand's shoulders. "It's gonna be okay. W-We'll figure this out...Don't worry." Italy came over and sighed. "You guys find anything? You look kinda freaked out...what happened?"

They explained their situation to Italy. Canada kind of predicted his reaction. "THEY HAVE PARASITES IN THEM!? What are we gonna do!? What they like c-come out and we can't stop it and then they take over the world and we have to watch our friends die and then we die and then-" "ITALY! It's gonna be okay. We just...have to find a way to cure them...fast. We can do it. We're strong countries and we're smart. We'll find the cure and we'll rescue our friends. Okay?" Italy nodded, his lower lip quivering.

They went back to check on their fellow nations. "They're the same as before. We still should hurry though. Okay...so England wrote they like dark places...So we need to find a dark place that...they would go to hide out." Italy sat up where he was sitting, in the passenger seat. "That would explain why after it grabbed Romano, it just left and didn't come after me. It would have to leave the shade...So...Can they not handle light?" Sealand then shot up and grinned. "I got it! Flashlights! We can turn flashlights on in their eyes and maybe it'll stop them." Canada nodded. "Alright, but where are we going next? We have to find somewhere dark, I guess." Italy and Sealand were quiet in thought. Now what?

They sat there for about thirty minutes thinking about where to go next. Canada sighed and turned to Sealand. "Any ideas? I can't think of a place..." Italy groaned. "No, I can't. And we're losing time..." Sealand sat up and opened his mouth as if to say something but then closed his mouth. "What is it, Sealand?" "Uhm...I think I might know a place. It's kind of dark there. And creepy..." Italy turned towards Sealand, as did Canada, and both of them asked at the same time; "What is it?" Sealand took a deep breath and spoke. "The basement. In the U.N Building."

Both Canada and Italy both looked at each other. "What basement? I've never heard of a basement in that place..." Italy just shrugged. "I've gone in there a couple of times. It's really dusty and creepy in there. Last time I went in there, there were some candles and I lit them but they would be burnt out by now. We're gonna need flashlights, depending on how dark it is. Also, I dunno if this thing is airborne or anything...but we might wanna take gas masks too. Just in case this is some 'Last of Us' crap." Italy sighed. "I think I know where we can get flashlights but the gas masks...I dunno." Canada sighed next and turned to face forward. "Alright, let's worry about the flashlights first. Then we worry about gas masks..."

Italy directed Canada back to Germany's house. They were able to find some flashlights and they looked around for gas masks but were unable to find any. "That's kinda weird...Germany normally has tons of stuff!" Italy sighed and looked around Germany's office. Sealand looked around the other rooms. The place was relatively empty. They made sure all the lights were on when they left, in case any aliens decided to come back. And if they didn't come back afterwards, it would be really dark in the house and they didn't need two nests, assuming there was already one.

Now, they need gas masks. Where were they gonna find those? Day was slowly ending. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon now. Where the hell does the time go...?

What is time? If you really want the answer, watch Don't hug me I'm scared. I think it's number two...
