The next day, all the countries went to go visit Monika even though the tension between the girls and the guys hadn't lighten up any. They all arrived and Feliciana raced up to Monika's room as fast as possible, leaving a trail of dust in her path. She barged into the room but was quickly heartbroken when she saw Monika, patched up once again and on a respirator and a heart monitor along with a bunch of other tubes. Earlier on one of the nurses told her that Monika was in a comatose state but she didn't want to believe it. Feliciana walked up to her, hoping that what she was looking at was just a dream, but when she touched Monika's limp arm she knew how real it truly was. The others came in, hoping to see Monika awake and up, but they knew that was too much to ask for. It was silent in the room, the only sound being from the beeping heart monitor.
"Feli," François walked up and put her hand on Feliciana's shoulder, but she quickly pushed it away. "I'm fine, just a little shaken up."
England looked over at Alice, wondering if she had remembered anything from the previous night, but she didn't show any signs that she did. Then she spoke up.
"We need to have a private meeting, so I'm going to have to ask all the male counterparts to leave the room."
Without much arguing, the guys left the girls to discuss whatever they needed, but that didn't stop them from eaves dropping. Though when they tried, Amelia opened the door and gave them a fiery look that said "F*** off or I will kill you with my bare hands." The all quickly went down to the lobby and waited for them there.
"What is it Alice?" François asked.
Alice turned to everyone, her face as serious as it could ever be. "After my spell was interrupted yesterday, the universal waves I was controlling fell out of my control and spread through the entirety of this world, colliding together and creating a new rift."
Chun's eyes widened. "Aiya, does that mean we've found a way to get back home?"
Alice turned to her, still as serious as ever. "Perhaps, but that's not the issue right now."
"What do you mean by that?" Sakura asked suspiciously.
"Well, remember how a swarm came through the dimension last time after I lost control?"
"Yes, and?" Amelia could already tell where she was going with this.
"Well now that there's an unprotected rift open, the Kaydoms can invade at any time. I calculated the wave burst and found that the rift won't go through to the other dimension fully for about a month, but it will remain open until someone closes it.
"So what do we do exactry?"
Alice took in a deep breath. "We find it and shut it."
"Sounds easy enough," Anya picked up her shovel menacingly.
"Wait, if we close it does that mean we'd be closing our one chance to get back aru?"
Alice looked at Chun and answered. "It may be if we don't go through it when we find it."
"Then what's the big issue? We'll just do that." Amelia perked up but was immediately shot down when Feliciana spoke up.
"What about Monika? We can't just leave her here."
Everyone sat silently, thinking of what to say next. "Well…we could always come back for her? Right?" François asked uncertainly.
"I-I don't know, but if we don't find the rift soon it could mean disaster for us all."
After ten minutes of discussion and argument they came to their final decision. They would leave for the dimension rift and destroy it, then stay in the other dimension until Monika hopefully woke up.
"How do we find it though?" Sakura asked.
"It sends off massive EMP waves. We just need to look at a giant radar to find it."
"And how exactly are we supposed to find something like that?" Amelia grumbled.
"Uh, well…" Alice started.
"Why do we need to use only one radar?" Anya smiled as everyone caught on.
François was first to come to the realization. "That's right, we're with the major countries of this world aside from Germany. They must have at least one massive one each, right? We did."
"Hai, but I don't feer comfortabre retting the men know of our pran. I don't want to put them in risk of anything again. Arso, they may try to stop us from going, and how do we get to the radars?"
Feliciana who was still sitting by Monika spoke up. "We sneak in while communicating with each other and set them all off at the same time so that once we've pin pointed a direct area, we can all meet up and leave for the coordinate."
"That could work, but how do we get back to each other aru?"
Feliciana was quick to answer. "Alice, do you think you could find a spell to teleport us all back together?"
"Well yes, but we would have to do a couple things, and even then we would just end up in the United Kingdom."
"We'll worry about that later, what would we have to do?" Everyone was surprised at Feliciana's sudden taking of charge.
"Um well, let me think. First you would have to draw the pentagram in white chalk on the floor and chant something like "emov em ot eht teppup restam, or move to the puppet master backwards. Then we would have to step on the pentagrams with whoever was in charge of the entire spell in mind. Also, I won't be able to get us to the actual destination we need so we'll have to get passports and tickets to the place if it's outside one of our host countries."
"I have a thought, but…no it's ridiculous."
"What is it François?" Amelia looked over to her, wondering what the French woman was thinking.
"Well, since we are all so determined to keep the men out of our activities, why don't we just…leave?"
"That's what we're trying to do you idiot. Weren't you listening?" Alice snapped.
"There's no need to insult me! What I meant was, after we all arrive in the United Kingdom, we can get jobs, earn money, and hideout in a cheap hotel or a boarding home. Then we can plan all we want and not have to deal with putting the countries here in danger."
"That's ridiculous!" Alice retorted.
"It's not a bad idea. We can get new clothes and all to protect our identities." Anya brought up.
"Plus we won't have to invorve the countries here."
"Ya, we don't need any more people in the hospital." Amelia rolled her eyes and was hit in the shoulder by Alice.
"I say we give it a shot, for Monika." Feliciana put her hand in the middle of them all.
"Hai, I go where ever Feri decides to go." Sakura put her hand on Feliciana's hand.
"Da, you all would die without me around." Anya put her hand on top.
"What's a team without a heroine?" Amelia put her hand on the pile.
"You guys wouldn't last without me." Chun added her hand.
"Hopefully we know what we're doing." François lightly put her hand on top of Chun's.
Everyone turned to Alice who had her hands crossed in refusal, but the looks everyone gave her broke her. "Oh what the hell, you guys would be useless without my magic." She put her hand in the middle.
"For Monika," Feliciana hailed.
Then all at once the others chimed in. "For Monika!"
During the entirety of this, the guys were arguing on how they were going to make up for their HUGE blunder, but little did they know that they weren't going to see their guests for much longer.
-Yaaaaa, just bare with me guys.
-Fun Fact: Originally I was going to kill Monika but I couldn't find it in myself to do it because I like her so much. :P Go figure.
-Thanks so much for all the support you guys have been giving me guys. :D.
-Also, probably should have said this like 19 chapters ago but I do NOT own Hetalia.
