Chapter 18! Awesome!

Man, writing the last chapter was about as much fun as this one all of you will read. For the rest of the story, the fights between the good guys and bad guys will be broken down into 7 chapters and then a resolution chapter. The first one, right here, is the battle between the Baltics and Ukraine versus Russia.

Here's my Christmas gift for everyone, but I'm Jewish so how does that work? XD, Well you can also treat it as a Chanukah gift too. Hope everyone has a wonderful new year and hope all of enjoy this chapter. ^_^

Why does every time I touch my hands on something, I can't do anything to repair it? I'm in the middle of a battlefield and I'm already showing my weakness to the enemy. I'm useless and I'm only a tiny country who should be insignificant to the world.

Those thoughts clouded Latvia's mind as he continued to hold Liechtenstein's lifeless head. Her blood tainted his tiny hands and her hair blew against the harsh, cold, bitter wind. Nothing could break his thoughts, except one person.

"Latvia! Snap out of it! Lithuania, Ukraine, and I need you, you're important to us. Don't worry about Lili, Vasch will take care of her I promise." Estonia's glasses continuously fogged up in the wind and constantly cleaned them, "Sitt, I can't fight like this," He turned his head downwards, "Latvia I need you to put my glasses into your coat pocket. I'm ready to take Russia down no matter what, even if I can't wear my glasses." The tall Russian stood not too far from them with a malicious smirk that contradicted his baby-like face. His eyes were cold and filled with a dark fire that snow could not put out.

Estonia's spirit brimmed with valor and honor. He knew what was at stake and did not let a moment slip. "Ukraine! I need you to flank him. Latvia and Lithuania, get him on the sides; I'll deal with him head on." Under his coat, he secretly hid a Russian model of a Smith & Wesson. However as he tried to grab he couldn't with the thought of Russia's face scared him. "Russia, as much as I'm terrified right now I know that all of us can win."

In a sarcastic tone, "Enough chit chat then, fight me Baltics and my own dear older sister if you have the chutzpah to do so."

Every ounce of energy within Estonia drove his legs forward. The snow blocked his vision partly. In the meanwhile, Switzerland ran quickly and kneeled by his sister. "Latvia, you need to go now Estonia's moving, I'll look over her. Don't worry." He nodded and ran off with his pistol in toll. Little sister, I know Latvia and the others will avenge for you.

Switzerland in the meanwhile kept his K31 right over her chest and kept his finger right on the trigger, "Kick that bastard to the ground!"

Estonia continued to run and the sweat from his face froze. His index finger was ready to pull the trigger as he went in for a low, swiping kick at Russia's ankle as Ukraine grabbed her brother's chest tightly to hold him back. Just as her hands made contact, Russia flipped forward, causing Ukraine to flip off as well and he elbow-dropped on Estonia's bare head. The gun flew away and gave Russia the perfect opportunity to grab it. However, as Estonia rolled off to the side to recover, Lithuania's hair blocked Russia's face as he locked Russia's right arm in a ninety degree position, "You think you can knock us down that easily you drunken fool? Latvia, now, go for it."

The familiar Korovin pistol gave Latvia the confidence as he fired immediately. In a sudden turn of events, as the bullet flew, Russia ever so carefully leaned sideways to dodge it, and kneed Lithuania in the chest and clocked him with a left hook in the face. The impact forced Lithuania to collide with Estonia and Latvia onto the ground.

"Honestly, you fools think you can take me on? My hunger for blood continues to grow as this fire inside of me rages on."

Latvia struggled to get off the snow and to run away, however something bellowed within him, "Russia, you sick monster, I will destroy you!" His rage drove him mad as all of his force was put into one punch.

Green eyes barely saw the tiny nation, "Latvia, stop! You can't do it on your own." Mere words meant nothing to him as he continued on. Latvia's punch was easily intercepted and a sound broke the dense air. A snap. "Gagh!" Raw bone pierced through delicate skin and the pain seared through Latvia's entire body. As Russia was about to inflict further damage, Estonia fired one round right into Russia's thigh and it successfully landed, "Get the hell out of there. Lithuania can you continue fighting on?"

"I think so, Ukraine you ready?" She nodded and both of them ran forward to save their comrade.

When both of them ran, Russia couldn't help but think of their next move. I clearly see what they're trying to do. Overwhelm me with numbers and hope that will the cause of my fall. His eyes quickly gazed over Lithuania's and Ukraine's tactics, while keeping his foot on Latvia's back despite the bullet wound as the blood seeped downwards and covering the little one's face as he continued to whimper. Fluffy blonde hair turned red and damp, and he tightly closed his eyes to block out the noise over his lifeless arm.

"Latvia, don't give up." Ukraine's booming words reached Latvia's ears. Her hands were over her chest as she ran diagonally to ram her shoulder into Russia's hip. The unforeseen shift of weight gave Latvia the chance to run away. The sight of the bone sent shivers down Estonia's spine.

"Latvia, I want you to go to Belgium now. She'll take care of your arm. If you fight anymore, it could get worse and put you in a horrible disposition."

"I'd rather fight until all of my bones are broken. I don't care," He carefully touched his arm without causing any further pain, "I promised to Liechtenstein I would avenge for her and I will keep that promise." Latvia's promise struck Estonia like never before and without notice he ran off for the last time with his arm dangling.

Whatever energy Latvia kept in reserves, pushed him forward for his one last chance. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Latvia kept a small stiletto dagger hidden under his gauntlet. As he ran he pulled it out with one, final breath.

"I promised Lili that I will no longer be a weakling to someone like you Russia! A monster who feeds on other people's misery and pain. I will show you that I'm strong." Tiny legs gave Latvia the impossible ability to jump, for quite a distance, right at Russia's chest as the dagger was thrusted forward. However, as Latvia wished for one attack to stick, he failed.

Russia took his black scarf as weapon and wrapped it tightly around Latvia's other wrist. The tight wrap left him dangling in the air and the purple aura surrounded both of them. In the heat of the moment, Russia shot out his left hand and clenched onto Latvia's neck. All air escaped from the little body and Russia quickly snapped it. The second snap was heard everywhere, but the snap resonated deeply within Estonia's soul.

No, he just didn't kill him? He couldn't have? No. It can't be. Anger and wrath put Estonia into a different state. Russia carelessly threw the lifeless body onto a snow-covered rock and the sound of that collision angered Estonia further.

"You think you can treat people like that!" Estonia clenched his fists and dropped his gun. Blue eyes stared straight into purple ones as his own aura appeared, an luminescent cobalt blue.

"England told everyone that each nation has their own power in their own form. My power rises from my loyalty to my true comrades." He raised up his right arm and, magically, his glasses transported right into his hand. As he put them back on, his aura intensified, "Russia, you believe by consuming people you will be able to go back to your old ways? Not while I have the strength of justice."

Estonia's aura was so bright, it cut through the dense wind and England smiled. I know Estonia can do it. He has to.

Russia's purple aura appeared as well and he couldn't help but laugh at Estonia's weak attempt, "This is quite exhilarating wouldn't you think Estonia? I broke Latvia's neck like a twig and you snap too, this is hilarious." Out of the blue, a part of Russia's aura transformed into an 1827 Cavalry Sabre, with the aura continuously swirling around it. "Estonia, your life and everyone else's end today with you as the first one to die."

Glasses shined white as his gun was also surrounded by his aura in his hand. I'm giving it my all into this one bullet. My last shot. He stood perfectly still and saw Russia running in for the strike. As Russia's yelling came closer and closer, Estonia closed his eyes.

Lithuania's hair partly blocked his vision and saw Russia barreling. He was scared and knew it would end horribly, "Estonia, you mad man, get of there now. You're leaving yourself as a wide target for his sword."

As Russia raised his sword, right at Estonia's head, and prepared for the final strike Lithuania screamed, "No! Estonia!"

The scream opened Estonia's eyes widely and, with a cold stare, precisely fired the bullet right into Russia's heart and fainted afterwards. Ukraine ran over to him along with Lithuania and held his body, "Estonia?! Can you hear me? Wake up!"

Russia's body was completely lifeless as he gazed up into the white sky, "My heart, it's so cold. Colder than ever." His chest barely rose up as the irises in his eyes faded and he stopped breathing.

Coughing sounds escaped Estonia's throat and relieved Ukraine and Lithuania greatly. "Did I shoot him?" Both nodded as Ukraine went to go pick up Latvia and lied him right next to his closest friend, and Lithuania took off Estonia's glasses.

Estonia turned his head right next to Latvia and couldn't help but smile, "You see Latvia, we did it. I hope you can either see or hear our victory. You contributed more than you could ever think of and I think Lili would appreciate it the most." He continued to smile and he fell asleep from the exhaustion as the other battles raged on.

Man, I really made Estonia badass in this chapter. I know a certain someone will really appreciate it.

A few A/N:

Sitt: Estonian for shit.

The weapon Russia has was in my cool weapons book which I'll be using from now on if I want to reference any weapon of any choice.
