-Alright quick note...I don't really know how pregnancy tests work and all so no judgement...please. I tried my hardest but the past few chapters have been kind of hard. It's all just building up to the climax . Please forgive me. Also, don't forget this is a different world so they've got different technology and stuff. :L
"Now there's just one problem." Franҫoise pinched the rim of her nose and squeezed her eyes. "How are we supposed to find this "queen", and what are we going to do when we actually find it? Something that's causing this much destruction must be humongous."
Julchen frowned and thought for a second. "I'll send a group via air with my best soldiers; it'll be a mixture of ranger core, air force, navy seals. It'll be an infiltration mission if you want to think about it that way." She cocked her head and gave a frustrated expression.
"That's a suicide mission!" Alice shouted at Julchen who was in the middle of thinking the same thing. "Even if it's the highest trained people out there they wouldn't have a chance, recon or not!"
"Well then what else are you going to do? We've just come up with an idea, but you aren't leaving me with a ton of options here." Julchen muttered as she stared back at Alice who was giving out a pout.
"I'll go." Feliciana turned to the two, her face solemn.
"You're crazy. What makes you think you can do anything?" Julchen spat back.
"I've been training and fighting for this day ever since this war started, so if information like this comes by I'm not passing it up."
"If she goes then I go too!" Everybody looked at Feliciano who took a step by his double, or as he'd rather see it, his sister. "I know I'm usually the coward who waves his white flag, but I don't want to see my new friends have to suffer anymore, especially my sister."
"F-feli?" Ludwig was amazed.
Actually, everybody was amazed. Through this entire fight, Feliciano had hidden or cried. Now here he was, ready to fight alongside his sister in what could be the last fight ever.
"If he's going, I go!" Ludwig took a step next to the Italians.
"Don't you realize what you're saying?" Julchen remarked.
"Why?" Alice asked as she turned to the voice. "We know what we're doing." Feliciana smiled and put her hand on Alice's shoulder.
"Grazie Alice."
"If Alice is going, then count me in too!" Francis took a step next to her and gave a confident face. "I said I'd be an ally to the end, and I'm not taking that back any time soon!"
"I'm sticking with this till the very end; there's nothing to stop me." Franҫoise looked at Julchen with determination. "Even if nobody listens or cares, I'm going."
"Oy, I'm not letting these gits out of my sight, so count me in." Arthur sounded valiant.
"As the hero it's my duty to serve those in danger, even if it means danger like this." Amelia gave a salute and a loud "hmph!"
"Hai! I go wherever Amelia goes." Kiku gave a little nod and nudged closer to the group.
"I'm not letting you people go!"
"Well I don't think you have a choice now Julchen. We've got to go." Feliciana stated.
Julchen stared at them and finally gave a sigh. "Fine, but if anything I hope you all come back with at least one limb left." She leaned against the wall and pulled a phone out of her pocket. "Set up Datum 12. We're going on a recon mission. Also, are their clothes done yet?" Julchen asked.
"You mean you've still got our clothes?!" Francis bawled as he furiously shook his fists. "Why the hell didn't you tell me I wouldn't be stuck looking like this?!"
"It ain't a big deal." Julchen shrugged as she kept herself from laughing at the fuming Frenchie. "Well then you guys are going to have to leave pretty soon. I'll have them print up the coordinates that those telepathic waves travel too. Just follow that till the trail ends; hopefully you're theory's correct Feli~."
"It's worth a shot." Feliciana huffed.
"So…do we get our clothes back?" Francis asked.
Julchen rolled her eyes then called again asking. Then, after just a few moments, a man in a soldier's uniform came in with a rack of their clothing, all of it sewed and pressed as if they had just been bought. Also, the bottom part of the rack had their shoes which were shined and cleaned to look nearly new.
"Wow Julchen, you're freaking awesome!" Franҫoise looked at her old clothing and smiled.
"I thought that was obvious Franny." Julchen joked. "Anyways get dressed you freaks. You're gonna have a looooooong day ahead of you."
They all grabbed their clothes, Francis the most excited of them all. They walked to their separate bathrooms. Amelia walked in and saw one of those "female necessities" machines and saw that it gave pregnancy tests. "Freaky…." She thought to herself, but it made her nervous. She felt into the pants that had been taken from the lost and found and, out of all odds, found a quarter in the back pocket. She put it in and took the wrapped stick.
"Jeez these are cheap…." She thought to herself as she took the test; the other girls were dressing in the other stalls.
Amelia kept thinking to herself "you're overreacting; countries don't get pregnant." . "Oh….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed at the top of her lungs when the results came a few moments later.
Franҫoise smashed down the door thinking that she was being attacked. "Amelia, what's…oh my." She shut the door back and let her get changed as Alice and Feliciana stared horrified.
Amelia came back out in her old clothes, only she was pale and ghostly. "It's…not possible. I'm a country. This doesn't happen. God…no."
"Oh darling come here." Franҫoise hugged the mortified girl as the other two tried to figure out what was going on.
Feliciana spotted the test stick, her eyes widening in horror. "Please don't tell me it's true. Not now!" She cried.
"What's going on?!" Alice demanded to know."
"Alice, can countries get pregnant?" Amelia asked.
"They shouldn't be, except in some special cases. Oh lord, don't tell me…."
"Alice…I'm pregnant."
They all stood in silence after she had said that, the only sound coming from water dripping down the faucet. Amelia stood there with fear in her eyes; the thought of a human being growing inside her was insane, but it was true.
"Maybe it was just a bad stick. It's cheap after all!" Alice tried to find a reason not to believe, but she couldn't.
"Whose child is it?" Feliciana asked.
"K-Kiku's…what's he going to do when he finds out?!" Amelia got on her knees and buried her face in them. "We're about to find the beast of all beasts, and I'm pregnant."
"I'm not letting you go." Feliciana told Amelia, but was quickly attacked back.
"NO! I'm going no matter what."
"Then you're not only endangering yourself, but you child." She answered back.
"I won't get hurt."
"But what if you do?"
"I WON'T." Amelia was frustrated with …everything.
"Do you really think it's a good idea to go Amelia? This is a serious matter." Alice sounded afraid for her.
"So is the one we're in now. I'd rather fight for a better world than give birth to a child in a Hell."
They gravely stood there, but they all knew she wouldn't back down.
"Fine, but if you die, I'm going to kill you." Feliciana gave a small smile of hope.
They all walked out of the restroom to find the guys already sitting there; Francis was stroking his beautiful clothing as if it were a cat.
After that they were led to a loading dock where Julchen stood in front of them all and began pacing. "This is a serious mission that will take everything you've got. If you die, then this planet dies. Understood?" They all gave a nod.
"I trust you with everything here, so don't fuck this up. You've got one chance." Julchen continued.
Franҫoise put a hand on Julchen's shaking shoulder and turned her so that they faced each other. "Don't worry; we've got stakes even higher now, so we aren't going to fail you."
Julchen gave her one last hug and then told her "just bring back my sister, got it?"
"Of course."
After that they all loaded the jet and set up the best coordinates that Julchen could muster up (which most likely meant they were spot on), and with one last good bye, they were gone; they were off to find the demon of all demon's. Though, only God knew what truly awaited them.
