*Inside of Illuminated Dreams*
(Prussia P.O.V)
I saw Arthur just got shot and I ran over to my friend to help him up. But that's when I heard a knife thrown over to my sleeve and got me stuck on the wall. Arthur tried to get up, but he was pushed back by the black coated Russian guy!
"Now, now, Victor," That redhead said, "Let's not hurt them, too hard."
"All we want is your information and who you both work for. Lie to us and Victor here will beat the living out of you. But tell us the truth, we will show you some mercy," The Chinese man said. I look over at Arthur for some help, but his eyes looked tired. I have two options. One, I would tell them the truth, though they would not believe us or...
...Stop... Stop dreaming... Was that Ludwig? "Stop dreaming", what does he mean by that? Wait... This is a test in here. I look at the room to see any points I can use to my advantage and look at weak points on the trio. Judging by the looks of the three, the Chinese man seems to have his likings on sharp things. I could do something with that and find weak points on his body to put him down. The Alfred-looking-dude, He seems to have a head problem by the looks from a hidden shade of the bruise where it was the last hit. I could hit his head a couple of times and he would be knocked out. As for the Russian dude... he would appear to be tall and strong, but slow him down enough he would be tired out. Which I could do my moves. Wait?! Was this- ah save it for later!
"Well?" The guy asked.
"First off," I said in my awesomeness voice,"What is your name?"
"Allan. Allan Jones, my friends would call me Al for short. As for this two, Victor and Wang,"
"Nice to meet you," I said, "And now you're going to get fucked up," I kicked up and Wang was sent flying across from the room. It would appear to be that Wang is kinda weak in not a stances. I saw Victor swing his pipe at me and I ducked down. Shit, just like Ivan, he carries a metal pipe of pain with him too! He swings again as Allan fired. I jump to Arthur and pulled him up. Gott, he seems light but he's really not! I had to place him somewhere safe from the two. I found a small table that was next to the wall and place him behind it.
"Stay here," I told Arthur. He groans out as Allan fired again. I peaked up and pulled out my gun. I know I should do this in 20 feet but this is necessary! I fired at Allan twice and he dropped down. Victor came over with Wang but that Chinese man had a dagger ribbon! He took my gun out of my hands as I was about to pull the other one out. But that wouldn't be a good idea because he has a weapon and I need to use something against him!
"Problem there?" Wang asked.
"Nien," I said, "Just getting started,"
(England P.O.V)
I watch Gilbert getting attack by the two. I don't know how he gains the strength to fight, and I feel so powerless right now. I saw the man that goes by Allan trying to get up and reach for the gun. Pulling out my gun, I fired at Allan as he drops dead again. Hopefully for good. I looked over at Gilbert which he's doughing the long ribbon-blade from Wang. Where did I see a weapon like that? I better ask Yao when I get back. But enough of that part, Victor spin his pipe around and swung it at Gilbert. But using my gun again, I fired twice at Victor's hand and he drops down to hold it. He glares at me and I felt like I shit myself.
"Ah bloody hell," I said.
"Little Englishman should know better than attack with a coward weapon, Da?" He said. He cracks his neck and walks over to me. I held my wound and saw more of my blood coming out. I feel too weak to handle-
"Oi! Russian bastard!" Yelled none other than the Albion Prussian himself, "How about you pick someone your own size." I saw Gilbert over to him and Wang used his ribbon-blade over Gilbert. But it hit Victor instead and Wang yanked it out of Victor's body. He said something and spin his weapon with a grin. Still speaking in his language as Gilbert picked me up. I held onto the Prussian and felt a lot of pain coming through my body.

(Norway P.O.V)
I groan in pain as I felt the baby kicked. He or she has been kicking a lot lately because... It's almost my ninth month. I panic that Arthur wouldn't come back. I started to cry as I hug the pillow. Stupid hormones. A knock came to the door and I didn't reply.
"Lukas," Said Berwald. He walks in and sat next to me. I just cry as I held on the pillow.
"He's not coming back," I whisper softly. Berwald rubs my back and comforts me. I continue to cry as Berwald finally spoke after a long moment of silence.
"He will," He spoke, "Arthur will come back and by here with you, I know that," I just kept crying as he rubs my back. I wipe my eyes as I heard two more people coming.
"What happen?" I turn and saw Kiku and Matthias walking in. Matthias came over to my side and told me sweet Danish words. Kiku told me to stop crying because it might hurt the baby. I stop and the three hugged me. I could still feel the tears. When this pregnancy is over, I'm not going bottom again! Hell, Arthur could use magic to impregnate himself! ...Okay, maybe one last- fucken hormones!

(Third Person View)
Gilbert got Arthur on his back after taking down Wang and Victor. Gilbert carried both gallons of fuel and the wounded Englishman. Arthur is barely breathing as Gilbert pour about 1/4 of a cup over the wound. Gilbert rips off a piece of cloth that was on his shirt and places it on Arthurs side. Going into his bag, he saw some medical stuff in there. He has to remember to thank Kyan, Markell, and Alejandro for the help if he sees them again. He pulled out a gaze and disinfected. Slowly he pours it on the clean part of the cloth and presses it on Arthur's. Arthur groans as he looks up at Gilbert. He never thought that he... would see Gilbert like this. Caring, kind, helpful, sexy... Yeah, Lukas is going to kill him when he comes back.
"... I'm sorry," Arthur spoke.
"Don't be," Gilbert said as he applies the gaze over Arthur.
"No I mean it," Arthur said. Gilbert look at Arthur as they lean in and-
"Hey! Earth to drunk Englishman!" Gilbert slaps his face. Arthur woke up. What- what just happen?!
"What just happen?!" Arthur asked as he looked around. Gilbert growls as he places his hands on his head.
"This must be some sort of illusion that's messing with us. Kinda like what you always do to both Matthias, Alfred, and me." Arthur was quiet it for a moment.
"What was in that disinfect bottle?" Arthur asked. Gilbert pulled it out and put it back in the bag.
"Nothing," Arthur glares at him.
"Gilbert," Arthur said, "What was in there?" Gilbert sigh as he pulls it out. He passes it over to Arthur read it. It was something Arthur never thought he would see. It was added with Honey Leaves. Arthur groans, they were very well known to the magic world. Think of it like this, it's like taking a shroom moister plus some opium and add it in a love potion from Harry Potters. It would leave an illusion in the person body to make them feel in love with the said person but... well really it's just a thing for masturbating yourself... It's supposed to heal you better if you added it in distinctive stuff!
Arthur felt ashame as he places his hands on his head. Yeah, Lukas would start to wonder what he has been doing to himself when they were gone for... what two days? Gilbert lay back on the bike as he mumbled to himself on what they were doing. For all they know, it could've been a week or two. Arthur lay his head on the ground as he looks up at the somewhat darken sky. But he didn't seem to keep an eye out for Gilbert because he came over and pulled out the bullet from Arthur's body.
Screaming in pain, Gilbert had to stick a cloth in Arthur's mouth as he started to tie Arthur's hands to a post. Which he did that when Arthur was about to... I think you would know. Gilbert started to stitch up Arthur as the English man was screaming in the cloth. He does not know what could be worse. Have a needle going into your side like a thousand times or perhaps have a burning knife press on your skin... He rather has the needle than the knife.
It was over as Gilbert started to wash his bloody hands and Arthur passed out. The Prussian look up at the sky as he saw no stars. He wonders how Kiku was doing. His fiancée must be taking care of Lukas while he misses him. Gilbert smiled as he looks up at the moon.
"Kiku..." He spoke quietly, "...Ich liebe dich ... von ganzem Herzen*," Gilbert closed his eyes and fell asleep. Thinking about his fiancée while he sleeps.

(America P.O.V)
Dude, I woke up what felt like days or years. Never again will I stay up late and play- wait what just happen!? Iggy got shot! Running to his side... ah... what the hell happen?!
"Finally," Said a soft voice, "You're awake," I look up at the view was blurry. But I know I see Matthew standing next to me.
"Here," Said a ruff voice, "Drink this," I took a sip of the water that has been given to me. Leaning up slowly, I put on my glasses and saw both Matthew and old man Scot. Allistor had his cigar between his fingers and pat my shoulders.
"What happen?" I asked.
"Ludwig injected you a shot and passed out. I came in and took you in here," Matthew spoke. I growl as Allistor pushes me down gently.
"Calm down lad," He spoke, "Eyebrows is alright along with Red Eyed," I lean back and look at the ceiling. I was reaved that Arthur will be alright but Ludwig didn't need to do that to me! I heard the door open and Cian- that long red-haired Irish man- came walking in with a bowl of something. Please tell me that isn't what I think it is.
"Ah finally the lad woke up before I give him this in sleep," Cian said. I know we are somewhat related and I did ask him if he could give me a hand to make some railroad tracks for me. But that smell... I can smell Hagfish in that bowl. I reach over to find a buck and Matthew gave it to me. I mumble out thanks to him as Cian set the bowl off to the side.
"Anyways," He started, "We should inform you something,"
"What is it?" I asked.
"Since Lukas pregnancy is almost over from the past two weeks, he wanted to be here. So he doesn't have to wait until Arthur for coming home and stuff," Cian mention.
"He isn't in the building right?" I asked. The three were silent when I asked them that. I cussed and got out of bed and slam the doors open. I started to run over to the lab. I slam the doors open and saw not only Lukas and Ludwig but Kiku as well. Ludwig turn as he held a clipboard and nod at me.
"Alfred," He said.
"Cut the crap," I said, "You know that outsiders can't be in this room. We agree to that! And not to forget, what the hell were you thinking back then?!" my voice raises as Ludwig glares coldly at me. Kinda like Berwald's glare.
"Look, I can tell your mad," He said but Lukas cut in.
"What got you so uptight?" The pregnant male asked, "Can't you tell your brother- MY husband- is coping well now?" I look over at the glass chamber room. Arthur seems to be in a good stable and in good health so far. I sigh in relief as I glare back at Ludwig. But Lukas went back talking to me.
"Also, be glad that Ludwig found a way for him to at least get some communication over to them! If it wasn't for him, I bet you both Gilbert and Arthur would be dead!" Kiku came up behind him and place a hand on his shoulders. Tell him to calm down but he snapped and said that I should be the one to calm down. Ludwig got in the middle and he said he was sorry that he had to do that to me, but it was the only way to make sure I don't run in there. I gave in on that part, but not why both Kiku and Lukas should be in here. Kiku explains that they just wanted to know how well were they doing and make sure both males are alright. I gave them an excuse this time but not to Ludwig. Besides, we can't have them in here otherwise who knows what could happen. Broken hearted and a miscarriage.

(Third Person View)
The duo woke up and went for a ride to somewhere in the abandoned state. Arthur was slowly recovering as he started to take things a little slower and Gilbert was becoming more serious than ever. Arthur doesn't remember the last time when Gilbert was like this. Okay, maybe whenever Matthias would ask them if they want to go out for a drink and next thing you know they would be drunk as hell. Poor Lukas sent Arthur downstairs on the couch and made him sleep on the floor later on when Arthur keeps trying to go in their room. So, Lukas, had his Troll knock him out hard.
After their bike has died down on fuel once more, they went walking through the streets. They soon found a building to camp out for the night. Gilbert looked around as he saw a flag marked and cussed.
"This building is marked too," Gilbert said.
"How many buildings do they have?" Arthur asked. Gilbert scuff as he looks around the building. Every building they been into, there was a Creston moon in the middle and a plus sign on the moon.
"Judging by the looks, almost every building here," Gilbert said.
"Then we should respect them and leave somewhere else. It would be both smarter and better." Arthur said as he walks away. Gilbert nod as they leave the building, unaware that a man with a deep black mask was looking down at them. He held his scoop and ready himself to fire but heard footsteps coming behind.
"There has been a change of plans," Said a Greek accent.
"What now," The other male spoke with a Turkish accent.
"Boss said the plan has changed," The Turkish man look over as he sees his dark brown-haired friend as he glares at him. The latter got up and place his rifle on his back. They both walk over to where their boss is. Standing over the edge of the building with his bright red eyes glaring down at the duo who are leaving the city. He would need to send a message to a friend saying that they would be coming to their direction with no vehicle.
"Boss," Said the two.
"Meet me at the gate of the town," The raven black-haired Japanese man said, "We'll do it from there."
Arthur places his hands on his knees as the sun was beating them down. It was the afternoon and it was getting very hot. Almost hot as the both Arthur and Gilbert could remove their shirts and take a tan. But they were tired. Too tired to move anywhere. Arthur drops to the ground and lays up to see the sky. He could feel the hot beating sun. Before anything could happen Gilbert dropped to the ground. Arthur tries to look up but all he saw was two men who came over and picked them up.
-Time Skip-
Arthur was woken by water splash on his face as he felt the coldness hit. Gilbert woke up after as they both see three men. One had a black mask covered his face and black hair. The second one had a darker brown hair and he wore glasses on his face. The last one was sharping his sword as he didn't look up at the two.
"The two of you... both didn't take anything from our buildings, did you?" He asked with the Japanese accent. Gilbert had looked to deep into the man red eyes. Why... why is he... No. This isn't...
"Gil?" Arthur asked as Gilbert had no idea what is happening.
"... Kike?" He asked in shock.
"Who the hell is he?" The Greek asked the Turkish male. The short male got up and trace his sword around the duo who are tied up.
"I use to have a lover..." He said, "A lover who was with me all the time. A lover who would give me both care and loved. Until a war came by my brother's boyfriend. Forcing me to go agents my love and I have suffered from seeing him again." Gilbert listen to how this male is explained his story about his version of his war, "That son of a bitch wasn't happy to see me again and told me to go back home! I try to explain everything but he then said that he was no longer interest me! I found out he was with that cupcake whore. So what did I do? I killed that bastard and made sure that I wouldn't be like that,"
Arthur looks over at Gilbert as the German was looking down at the ground. Gilbert felt his heart has dropped and shattered into a million of pieces if this was what Kiku would say to him. Arthur knows this isn't real yet Gilbert thinks it is!
"Gilbert!" Arthur said to him, which the German didn't respond back, "Knock it off lad!"
"Face it," The Japanese man said as he places his sword over his shoulders, "Your friend here thinks this would be real. You, on the other hand, would be worried about your wife and child. Even though it could have been a year or-"
"THAT IS NOT TRUE!" Arthur yelled, "IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A YEAR OR SO BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS ALL BASE OFF OF AN ILLUSION! YOUR WORDS WON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!" The Japanese man smirked as he looks over at his Turkish friend.
"Sadakat," He started, "Let Markell know that we found his old friends here. Depends if they can survive in the desert," Gilbert started to fucken hate Markell now. Though he may be on a traders mark, he has no right to sell them out like a goat!
"We didn't do anything to you!" Arthur yelled once more.
"And how can we trust you didn't steal anything from us?" The Greek asked. Before Arthur could answer, the Turk- Sadakat- pulled something out and pass it to the Greek and the Japanese. They looked at it and the Japanese man chuckled as he showed it to the duo.
"Explain this," He said. What he showed them a small box. The same black box that Gilbert had used to propose to Kiku! How... Gilbert sigh as Arthur glares at him.
"You stole it!" He raises his voice at the German.
"It's not what you think!" Gilbert said.
"Oh, I'm sorry but did you seem to forget what happens when we thought about taking the fuel for our bike?!" Now Arthur was yelling at the poor German. Gilbert stays quiet as the Japanese man walk over to Gilbert and grab his throat. Gilbert held no residence to him.
"Did you know what Glean had told me before he died?" The raven-haired man said to Gilbert, "He said when he comes back from the war, we would be together for our lives and no one can stop that... but he went with that cupcake bastard instead so-"
"You wonder if you do the right thing?" Gilbert spoke out. The man was quiet as Gilbert red eyes look into the latter ones, "Where I'm from, I had to kill him out of love! And yet he still loves me, so I wonder why can he? Is it because he doesn't want to face and see what could happen to me? Or is it because he was in so much of pain to see me again when he's on the other side of the war?"
*Outside of Illuminated Dream*
(Kiku P.O.V)
I could not believe what I'm hearing... Gilbert words have struck into my heart so deep that I think it broke. He wonders why I still love right when I told him to do to me? I feel like I'm going to cry as I hear him talking to this other latter on the screen.
"For all I know, he was worried about me. As if he doesn't know if I'm surviving or not. Next thing leads up, he wanted to kill me," Stop talking Gilbert, "I don't even know why but I somehow always think he wanted to die so he doesn't need to have his brother to hear that he's cowering away to join on our side of the war!" Please, Gilbert... "And I hid this almost since he came back. I have some secrets that I'm too scared to share with to Kiky... But if I have to say it to him one last time if I'm not going to make through this hell hole-"
"Prussia," I spoke softly as I felt my tears swell up and try not to cry.
"-I want him to know that I've loved him from the bottom of my heart... since the day I've held him close to my arms whenever he needs someone to talk to," Goddamnit, Gil... I started to cry and wipe the tears off of my eyes. I felt someone hugging me close as I see Alfred pulling my hair back gently and shushes me softly. Damn that so call awesomeness of Prussia. Damn him! Why is this happening right now?! If I had a wish, it would be for this has never happened. Gilbert not getting so sick and Arthur would have dreams about death. We would be married by now and enjoy our newlywedded life. Arthur and Lukas would be having their final moment before their baby comes... everything would be different if this never happened.
I stop as I heard a gun bang on the screen. It would seem that someone was in the area and shot the Greek down without being noticed. I started to panic as Alfred held me close.
"They're going to be fine," He told me. How can he be so calm about this right now?! Doesn't he know that both of his friends are going to be killed?!
"Let go of me!" I yelled at him. Trying to escape his strong grasped.
"Kiku!" Alfred said as he held me tighter. The door open as Ludwig speed walk in and pull up his glasses on his face.
"I'm planning to send a team in there," He said.
"Who's the team?" I asked.
"Let's say a drunk Soct, a shy boy Icelander, and a quiet Canadian,"
"... You seriously didn't force my brother to do this?!" Alfred yelled. I feel like this is going to fall downhill from there.
"Just incase if something goes wrong. I have full faith on both Bruder and Arthur to survie this. They'll only go in there if they're failing,"

(England P.O.V)
Shit! Who was that?!
"Kuro, you son of a bitch!" Yelled... Feliciano? Okay, how many time do I need to remind myself in this?! This isn't REAL! It's all an illusion! Even I know that! Maybe not Gilbert, because he isn't in the use of the magic realm as Vladimir, Lukas and I... I wonder how those lads are doing right now... But in the main point, Kuro, the Japanese male, pull out his katana and started to shot things at Sadakat. I believe that's the latter's name? Sadakat went over to us and cut off our bonds. I kicked him in his face as Kuro grab my throat and held it tight.
"Do you want to live so you don't have to re-see Allan again or his other friends?!" He asked darkly.
"Piss off!" I said to him and kneed him to his lower region. He groans in pain and I punched him hard in the face. Kuro got a bloody nose as he glare at me. I am pretty good at bar fights- only if I'm still sober for a moment. But when I'm drunk as hell, I can simply break someone's teeth out of their mouth. If I know what I'm doing thou.
"You-" Before Kuro finished, Gilbert stabbed him with his own katana and glare at him coldly. I'm not even sure what to say... other than that he seemed to lost his mind already I think.
"If you were Kiku, I wouldn't do that to you," He said as Kuro fallen down and Gilbert knee down to that latter body, "But you're not... and doesn't mean that you would be off from the hook so easily." Kuro coughed as he glare at us. The gunshots were still being heard as Kuro pulled something out of his pockets. He gave it to Gilbert.
"If you were Glean, I wouldn't give you this," He said, "Take this to Lutz. He may look shit, but he's someone you don't fuck with. Tell him that the cure is for your problems is this," Gilbert took it as the gunfire was stopped. We all heard someone spoke in Finnish. By the sound of it, he's coming to get us. I see Sadakat is lying dead on the ground as Kuro grabbed my leg.
"But... there will be some considerations," He said in the gaps of breath. I nod and he told us that behind the rocks should have a full fuel gas in the jeep. So we left Kuro there as he told us and we drove. I drove and looked behind that I saw Allan, a man wearing a bright red uniform, and the other wore a tan-ish one. I looked away and drove away. I could see Gilbert is already crying. Poor lad.
