This battle scene was based on listening to 'When They Cry on SoundCloud' I don't own either SoundCloud or Hetalia
"What?" "Ξίφος του θανάτου!" The voices exploded. A huge gush of darkness surrounded my body. My hair was no longer the loveable blond like my big brother. No, it was a charcoal black that lit into flames! Actual flames that to my surprise didn't burn my skin. My beautiful alluring tan skin was shattered into remains of my big brother's skin and replaced with normal pale tissue. My eyes became a raging black instead of big brother's blood struck ones. A dark cloak covered my body and a long sword came into my grasp. My innocent body was long gone and replaced with a presence I feared. Icaria, the power of the crashed god, has finally awaken.
The sky turns a frightening heavy black and strong gust of winds strike the citizens of Great Britain to panic and run screaming as piles of debris falls and injuries most. The earth shakes and rain violently attacks the surface of the land. The one calm birds flying quickly squawk in fear and dive into nearby trees. Italy and Kugelmugel cover their eyes as the high gust blow their bodies into the trees, a terrifying flash hits the center of where Icaria stands.
Opening my eyes, I see the world around my body begin to shatter. I can't control myself. "Is this who I really am?" I thought. I suddenly see nothing but darkness. "What…. What the hell are you!?" The leader panicked. He trembled to the ground in fear. "Why have I awakened in this place?" She asked. "…. You're a human right? Why have I been summoned here?" She demanded. "…. I am Ikarus, the goddess who flew too close to the sun when escaping from Crete. After failing my father, I was trapped in the sea as punishment for being disobedient to the other gods and goddess." "I am known as the goddess of pain and suffering, unfortunately, I was reawakened by a trigger that I am not familiar with." Ikarus glazes at the sky. Ikarus glances at Italy and Kugelmugel, a sudden rage filled her eyes. "Oh, I see, I was summoned here because of these children, I remember now." Ikarus snarled. "Attacking mere helpless children, and attempting to rape a young innocence girl, such humans like yourself will face the ultimate punishment!" Ikarus scolded.
"Icaria…." Italy whimpered. Kugelmugel held him closely to keep him safe, he had no idea what to do. "Let the devil be your savior! Hell is where I send you!" Ikarus bellowed. The ground began to shake violently. "I call upon the blade of mighty Zeus and Athena! Awaken to the command of Ikarus, for you were once a gift of betrayal and bravery to others! Blood Sanctuary! awaken to my arms!" Ikarus shouted. Kugelmugel shielded Italy from the harsh winds and water. A hurricane rapidly attacks the ports of England and a huge blade of flames fell into the center of town. "Icaria!" Kugelmugel shouted. A tree fell in the center scaring Kugelmugel, he jumped as others followed it crashing down. "This is getting out of hand…." Kugelmugel thought. The long katana blade fell into her finger tips, Ikarus snapped open the blade from the flames and aimed it at the three humans, Ikarus slammed the blade down. A huge blast of white blinded everyone in the center of town.
England's POV
Francis had to leave to pick up my little girl, I wish I could have come with him. This whole 'phase' was bothering everyone and England was worried about Icaria. Arthur had invited the Magic Trio over to his home and said trio panicked when sensing the magic on the child. Norway was shaking when he barely gazed her skin to shake her hand. "Is she a demon?" Arthur thought. I was in the middle of washing the dishes since the staff was out on holiday. Francis insisted we have a servant staff, however, I just feel weird having to be waited on like this. True, his 'lover' wanted him to have so much free time with all of his children, but, his mother would be disappointed in his lazy attitude with cleaning and the cooking. I know I suck bullocks at cooking and Francis tries his best to teach me, but, I have a better teacher. China comes over weekly and thoroughly explains how to properly cook and what temperatures to set the oven to. Arthur loved Francis with all of his heart, but, Francis would go overboard and speak in French. The boys were taking their afternoon nap and Alfred had his play time revoked for hitting his brother. Right now, Arthur felt harmony with China, they had their fighting and hardships over with, and now Arthur was making more and more friends every day!
China dried the dishes as I washed them, making sure all the grim was properly scrubbed off. Taking another plate into my hand, I suddenly felt a pain in my chest knocking me flat to the floor. I saw China flinch before grabbing me, rapidly asking me if I was alright. Darkness filled my eyes….
China's POV
I had agreed to help England learn to improve his 'cooking skills' and make them more of a delight rather than gruesome pit of hell. Coughing to stiffen my laughter as Ottoman burnt another pot of noodles, I was smiling happily as he kept trying to make an effort, it made me think of my kids when they tried to learn a 'subject' in secret, yeah leaving your notebooks in the living room is totally hidden. As I was drying another dish after dismissing today's lesson, I suddenly hear a loud 'crash' and turn to see Ottoman lying on the hard kitchen floor panting for breath, I swiftly grab him and ask if he's alright. I don't get a reply. The worst outcome fills my mind. England's is suffering.
Kugelmugel and Italy's POV
I held Italy close to my chest as the rapid winds were blowing us away. I couldn't see and Italy was whimpering in my arms. Everything around us was rapidly breaking apart, I decided to let a huge gust of wind take both of us to the farthest tree I could see. In the impact, I hit my knee on a lamp post and cried out in agony at the pain, the only thought on my mind was to keep Italy safe. I'm a micro nation, if I die it would be a while till I was a personification of Kugelmugel again, However, for a mere chibi nation like Italy, the outcome was impossible to tell. Chibi nations required a lot of protection and growing, if Italy were to be killed or worse, be taken away by a bigger, powerful nation, like Russia, the images that filled my head were enough to make me grimaced. I had to protect Italy at all cost. Every nation has an ability to protect themselves and mine wasn't strong in attack, but, it can be enough to prevent anymore damage to us both. Chanting my barrier spell, I covered both of us from the swift winds. I thought it could spare us some time. How wrong I was. A huge branch hit my barrier, shattering it, as fast as I could, I covered Italy and let the branch slash through my shirt. Tears filled my eyes as it slashed open my skin. It was so painful! A sudden light knocked me out.
I was so a scared! Kugelmugel held me a tightly to his a chest. What happened to my a friend Catherine!? Everything was a fine earlier! I felt a Kugelmugel run out from our a bench and we were thrown to a far away tree, I noticed Kugelmugel was a hurt when he screamed. I didn't know a why he suddenly decided to act a sudden? I was so a very confused as to his actions. I wouldn't open my a eyes! I was a crying in Kugelmugel's arms as the big scary blast filled my a ears. Why was Icaria doing this!? Mr. England would a be in so much pain from his land being a torn up. All I could a hear was the pain and a screaming from the people running or a diving to cover from some harsh blows of wind. I want Mr. Austria and Mrs. Hungary! Mr. Austria would always comfort me when I was a scared and Mr. Hungary would cradle me to a sleep when I had a bad dream! I noticed the harsh a winds stopped and as I looked up to Kugelmugel, I saw his a beautiful barrier he used when Mr. Austria was a scolding him. I loved how a Kugelmugel was strong enough to summon such a beautiful aqua ring of a protection. Apparently, all a nations have a strong power dwelling inside their a bodies, unfortunately, for a me, I have yet to discover a mine. I closed my eyes as a huge branch hit the barrier protecting us, I wanted this to all a stop! Kugelmugel's barrier broke at the size of the a branch and he shielded me from it with his a back. I saw tears fall of his face and I a knew it must have a hurt! I wiped his face trying to ease the pain. Catherine, please a stop a this! A bright flash blinded a me and I passed out.
Two days later…...
Their still passed out. What have I done? All I can remember is…. "Icaria, listen closely to what I am about to tell you." "You are a weapon, you are not anything to this world except destruction and chaos, remember that well." She tells me. I'm scared of what I'm becoming, I could have gotten two of the people I care about killed or worse, raped. Those men, those humans, they were bad people. I want to forget any of this ever happened! I want my big brothers! I hear someone stiffen and turn to see Kugelmugel waking up. His back was badly beaten and he was covered in scratches and bruises, I cleaned them as best as I could. I was happy that he was up and walking about, he came towards me and gentle took my hands into his. "What happened?" Kugelmugel asked. I didn't know what to say, I had no idea what had happened. "I…. I don't know…... I just went ballistic when those humans…." Icaria shut her mouth. "I won't ask anymore." Kugelmugel said. "Catherine, every nation has powers, maybe not the same powers as you, but, you're not the only one who can use such amazing magic or whatever it is you possess." Kugelmugel admitted. "Really?" Icaria asked. "Yes, let me show you mine." Kugelmugel smiled. He chanted his aqua barrier and Icaria stood in amazement at the beautiful rings of water swimming into perfect rhyme with each other.
"It's beautiful." I said astonished. The barrier vanished and he held my hand looking into my eyes. "Catherine, I promise you, Italy and I will keep your power a secret." Kugelmugel promised. I felt tears well up and fall down my cheeks, Kugelmugel held me closely to his chest as I loudly sobbed in fear and sadness. Later that day, once night started to fall, Kugelmugel carried Italy on his back as the both of us continued for my big brother's house.
Prussia's POV
I was panicking! I searched all over the German woods for my daughter and she was no where to be found! I was told in town that a shopkeeper had saw a little girl with a big duffel bag hitchhike in a shipping wagon to Austria. The shopkeeper tried to tell the owner of the wagon about the little girl but his guards wouldn't even let him speak to the owner. I felt bad because this poor man had a gun pointed to his face when he had tried to collect his child. I paid the man for his trouble and left to catch a wagon to Austria. Francis was watching Ludwig for me, I was never as mad as I am right now.
England's POV
I woke up in my bed to see China bringing me hot tea on a tray. The smell was comforting to me, I felt the Asian man gentle brush my bangs back and place a cold compress on my forehead. China explained to me that there was hurricane in one of the ports that caused some harsh damage to the center of town, some of my people were killed in the process, that explains why I felt like shit. "Take some time to rest Ottoman, I will come back later to check up on you." China took his leave. Could a hurricane really cause my body to react this badly? The hundred years war was much worse then this and I didn't even react this way! I only coughed out blood and had mild pain? Something doesn't feel right about this.
The Next Day….
"Catherine look." Kugelmugel whispered, trying not to wake the sleeping chibi nation from his nap. Catherine looked up and saw the huge mansion that her younger brothers lived in. Kugelmugel nudged Italy awake and we carefully climbed the back steps to the back door. Shit. I grabbed Kugelmugel braids and yanked him to the ground under the stairway closet. "Ow! What the hell!?" Kugelmugel yelped rubbing his head. "I'm sorry but that really old nation is here, I think his name is China, you know the guy who raised Hong Kong, he's my uncle kind of I don't often see him here." Catherine admitted. Kugelmugel understood and waited till China left the room. Kugelmugel gave me the signal and we headed to the third floor to Alfred and Mathew's room. All of us hid in a closet when England started suddenly scolding the two boys. "ALFRED FREDRICK KIRKLAND AND MATHEW JAMES BONNOFOY! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO ACT UP WHEN I HAVE COMPANY OVER! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BOTH GAVE THE MAIDS SUCH A HARD TIME WHILE I WAS ILL! PANTS AND BOXERS DOWN AND LEAN OVER THE DESK!" England bellowed. "No! only papa can spank me! I hate you!" Mathew hissed. "Your papa isn't here young man and you live in my house and you will follow my rules! NOW COME HERE!" England scolded. "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Alfred yelped angrily. A loud CRASH filled the little study room followed by screams of protest and insults. "ALFRED FREDRICK KIRKLAND! YOU PUT THAT DESK DOWN RIGHT THIS SECOND OR I WILL USE MY CANE!" Arthur warned. Silence filled the study. CRASH! "ALFRED!" Arthur yelled. After what seemed like hours, nothing but yelps and smacks were heard in the small room.
Arthur came out of the study holding the twins to his chest. Alfred look absolutely pissed and Mathew was sobbing angrily. "Really that's enough both of you! Stop it!" Arthur pleaded. The struggling was too much so Arthur had to sit down and trapped the twins in his lap using his legs to cross over their waist and his hands to hold their own together. The twins kept moving and trying to thrash about but eventually stopped and calmed down. "Both of you have been so anger lately and moody, maybe your going through your terrible two's late." Arthur thought. "Alright, come on you two, I think it's time for an early night." Arthur said. He rocked the two boys in his arms and gentle tucked them in their beds, gently kissing their foreheads and heading out of the room. We waited till it was safe to come out and headed to their room. Alfred was up and kicking his toys over in anger and Mathew was screaming in his pillow. "Stupid Fucker!" Alfred snapped. It was very rare to see Alfred this pissed off and usually the only person who could calm him down was Arthur. Opening the door, Alfred flinched and hid under his bed. "I'M SORRY DADDY I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" Alfred whimpered. "Hey Alfred it's Catherine." I said. Kugelmugel closes the door and Italy hugs both of the twins. "What are you guys doing here?" Mathew asked surprised. "Well we hitchhiked in shipping wagons to get here, you see we got tired of the way we were treated and decided to play a game with our older bro's or parents, were going to gather all the micro nations we like and chibi nations and create our own place of freedom." Catherine explained. "You guys get treated badly?" Mathew asked shocked. "Mr. Austria spanked me for a vase I a knocked a over!" Italy cried. "Austria also took all my painting stuff after I painted a beautiful Austrian flag on his piano and scolded me to the point I cried." Kugelmugel confessed. "Gilbert yelled at me for breaking his sword from the war times and beat my ass with a crop, then he complained to Francis and Antonio about me, and Gilbert said and I quote "I'm sick of dealing with her!" Catherine admitted hurt.
"Dad spanked us for disobeying his servants, we hate them their rude to us and they always lock us up in our room!" Mathew confessed angrily. "Yeah! The only one we like is Sebastian! He's been firing them almost everyday for the way they treat us!" Alfred admitted. "One time, these older women locked us in our room all day and Papa and Dad was beyond pissed and sewed them!" Mathew snarled. "Then father spanked us with the cane and slipper because we dumped flour all over their heads for making us stay in our room all day! I HATE THIS ROOM!" Alfred snapped. "I don't blame any of you two, I mean my big brother has his ups and downs but that's just cruel and usual punishment, even Austria would come to my chapel and comfort me after a scolding." Kugelmugel said. "Wait, didn't papa travel on boat to pick you up Catherine? He told all of us he was leaving to bring you here?" Mathew asked confused. "I must have left before he got there." Catherine said.
"Catherine are you sure this is a good idea? You have the scariest parents in the world and they eventually will track you down?" Kugelmugel asked. "I'm never going back to Gilbert, after what he said to Francis and Antonio why should I?" I asked enraged. Kugelmugel held his hands up in defense. "Hey chill, I was only asking to make sure you really wanted to do this." Kugelmugel said calmly. He gently whispered into my ear. "Don't get too mad, we don't really know what triggers your power yet and I don't want you to get worked up again." Catherine nodded understanding his point. "Look Arthur will probably be back to check on you both soon. Do you guys want to come with us?" Kugelmugel asked. After thinking about it they both nodded yes. Catherine told them what to pack and they headed out in secret down the back steps.

I have to switch the 'I's' to 'she' because it sounds like I'm speaking
