"Germany! Germany!" Italy yelled through his phone the next morning.

"What happened Italy?" Germany asked in a tone suggesting that this wasn't the first conversation that started that way.

"I tried calling Spain to talk to him about," Italy sniffed, "Romano. But he didn't answer! I'm worried about him."

"Ok Italy, I'm sure that he just misplaced his phone or something." Germany said reassuringly.

"But I called him ten times. Surely he would have heard the ring." Italy said desperately, "Go check on him pleeeease?"

"Nein, I'm busy."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" Italy begged.

"Fine!" Germany said.

"Yay! Thank you Germany!" Italy hung up and smiled. Things were going exactly how he wanted them to.

A couple hours later, longer than Italy had expected, Germany called him back.

"Ciao, Germany! Is everything ok with Spain?" Italy asked innocently, trying hard to hold back laughter.

Germany hesitated, "Italy... Spain is," He paused, "Dead,"

"W-What?" Italy asked softly.

"Come over, you should see it for yourself." Germany hung up and Italy went to his car, smirking the whole way.

Italy stared at Spain, many emotions displayed on his face, sorrow, fear, disbelief. All of which were concealing the laugh that Italy was holding back.

Italy let out some tears and buried his face in Germany's chest. After a while, Italy slowly pulled away. "D-Do the other nations know yet?"

"Nein, if I had called a meeting, it would have been the 4th one this week, and that would irritate some of the nations."

"B-But,"

"If you really want," Germany said, unable to bear seeing Italy shed tears "I'll call the nations here now." Italy nodded softly and fell onto the couch opposite to Spain. Germany left the room to contact the nations and left Italy alone.

He was happy that his plan worked flawlessly, but he was less than enthusiastic that he had to spend the next couple hours alone with the German.

After what felt like an eternity to both Italy and Germany, nations began to arrive. This time, Germany didn't stop them from entering the living room when they arrived. Most who saw Spain just stared and didn't say a word. Some silently swore to themselves and others immediately looked away, trying to keep their breakfast down.

Once everyone had arrived Germany stood up from his seat next to Italy, "Well, as you all have already seen, Spain has been killed, even more, in the same way as Romano was just a day before. I found him this morning when Italy called me saying that Spain wasn't picking up his phone. Concerned, Italy asked me to check on him and now here we all stand."

"T-Tell them what's on his arms," Italy said. The nations in front who could see shuddered while the ones in back tried to see what Italy was talking about.

"It says," Germany read off of Spain's left arm, "He wanted to see him again" Then he read off of Spain's right, "So I granted his wish"

"Who ever the killer is, he has a cruel, cold heart," Japan said. Italy made a mental note to thank Japan for the compliment later.

"Well, what are we supposed to do? I mean, their's obviously a killer out there but how do we avoid him?" Oliver asked.

"Well," Germany began, "It seems that both Spain and Romano were alone when they were killed so that's a start. And always be alert, you never know when the killer might attack you."

The nations nodded and, not wanting to speak, waited for someone else to.

After a moment of silence, Germany spoke up, "We should get Spain's body out of here, and if these killings persist, all of us nation may have to stick together."

Some of the nations grumbled but reluctantly agreed. They slowly filed out and Germany took Spain's body out of the house. Italy, again, was the last one left in the house.

He smiled to himself, "Japan, you have volunteered yourself." He then went home to give his plan to the rest of the 2ps.

"Japan! Ciao! Germany said he was busy today so I was hoping that we could hang out!" Italy was at Japan's front door enjoying the fact that Japan would soon join Spain and Romano.

"Konichiwa, Italy-san, we can hang out today." Japan said, letting Italy in.

"Yay!" Italy plopped down on Japan's couch.

"I am going to make tea, would you like anything to drink?" Japan asked.

"Si! Water please!" Italy said brightly.

Japan nodded and left the room. Italy looked around cautiously eyeing the katana on Japan's wall. Japan came back with a glass of water for Italy and a cup of tea for himself.

Japan took a sip of his tea and asked a question, "Italy? How are you so calm after what has just happened to you?"

Italy's happy expression turned grim. "I-I'm sorry," Japan apologize, "I shouldn't have brought it up,"

Italy took a shaky breath and put on a weak smile, "It's ok," Italy looked down, "What do you think about it?"

Japan was shock that Italy had asked his opinion on such a touchy subject. "Well, I don't know, but I have the feeling that the killer isn't just a crazy mass murderer. I think that he knows what he wants and he is smart enough to know how to get it."

Italy was genuinely surprised that Japan had gotten that out of a mere two deaths. He popped his head up, "Seriously?" He looked down again, "D-Do you think a nation is behind it?"

Japan looked at Italy curiously, "No, I didn't consider it, but I suppose it's possible." It was odd seeing Italy sad, it didn't suit his personality. Though Japan had expected it to be worse considering that his brother and his brother's best friend had just died.

"Are you sure you are ok Italy-san?" Japan asked.

"S-Si,"

There was another knock on the door and Japan popped up, "Who could that be?" He stood up to answer the door and Italy followed him, making sure to position himself in between Japan and the katana on the wall.

Japan's eyes widened when he saw who was behind the door. The one person that he had not expected to be at his door, Italy.

Japan looked at the Italy in his house, then back at the one at his door. He looked again to the Italy in his home, "Italy-san?"

Italy grinned evilly making Japan lunge for his katana. Italy easily stopped him and pushed him with enough force to knock him down.

"Cruel, cold heart you say?" Italy smirked. "Thanks for the compliment." Japan sat there in shock as the two Italys stood above him.

Luciano cracked his knuckles, "The easy way or the hard way?"

Japan thought quickly and wrapped his legs around Luciano's. He twisted his legs making Luciano fall and standing himself up at the same time. The Luciano tried to grab him but he raced out the door.

Italy rolled his eyes, annoyed by the trouble Japan was causing. He dropped a knife out of his sleeve and, before Japan even made it out of his yard, threw it with deadly accuracy at Japan's thigh, making him fall.

Luciano went to retrieve him and shoved him into the back of Italy's car.(Car this time, not van.) The two Italys got into the front of the car and began their drive to England's house.

Japan held his leg in pain, trying to stop the bleeding. "What are you doing, Italy-san?"

Italy smirked, "I'm doing exactly what you predicted, getting what I want."

"And what exactly do you want?"

Luciano and Italy laughed, "Oh, well that's simple, I want power."

(Capture Montage)

Matt swung his hockey stick hard at the back of Cuba's head, knocking him out. Al dragged him into his car and the three drove to England's place.

Francois smashed a wine bottle over little Sealand's head making him collapsed onto Oliver. The brit then carried the small boy to his basement.

Andres held the blade of his sword up against China's neck. Leo led them to them to the car(that used to be Spain's) and drove to England's home.

(End of Montage)

Luciano more or less helped Japan out of the car and into England's basement. When they got to the portal room, Japan saw that he wasn't the only captive. Cuba and Sealand were unconscious on the ground while China, who was sitting up against the wall, was being held still by sword point.

"Japan!" China exclaimed when seeing his injury.

Japan was sat down next to China, "I'm ok, China-san." Japan looked around at the 2p and was surprised when he saw Spain and Romano(Andres and Leo).

"Spain-san?" Japan was confused further when China shook his head.

"I'm Andres, not Spain," He said gruffly.

Italy looked around the room satisfied, "Good job guys,"

Japan winced when Italy pushed the flat of his blade up against his wound. He watched Italy put his blood into the portal and was surprised to see it glow. He was even more surprised to find himself climbing out of the pot.

2p Japan, Kuro, simply said "Konichiwa," and walked to the wall. Italy gave him a brief smile and nodded at Andres(Who was still holding his sword up to China). With one swift movement, Andres made a cut on China's arm. He dripped the blood into the pot and they were yet again waiting for a 2p.

2p China, Yang, appeared and like Kuro, said hi and not much else. Then Italy summoned 2p Cuba, Martino, and 2p Sealand, Paul. All the new 2ps, got a quick briefing and they all went their separate ways. (Kuro went with Yang)

Spain and Leo drove the three new captives to Italy's home while Luciano put Japan in Italy's car and they drove back to Japan's house.

The drive was completely silent as Japan tried to comprehend what had just happened. When they arrived at Japan's house Luciano(again, more or less) helped Japan into the house and onto the couch.

The moment that Japan stepped in his home, he ripped his arm away from Luciano and grabbed his katana. He pulled it from it's sheath and got it the best fighting position he could with his injured leg.

Italy sighed and locked the front door so that none of them would get out until this was over. Italy and Luciano both dropped knives out of their sleeves, holding three in each hand between their fingers.

Luciano threw three knives at Japan's good leg while Italy threw three at right arm. Japan managed to dodge or hit most of the knives but one managed to scrape his good leg and he fell to one knee, using his katana for support.

Japan got back up and had enough time to swipe away three more knives with is sword. He took slow steps closer to the Italys, dodging their knives the whole way. He made a couple swipes at them but was unable to lay a blow due to their maneuverability.

Luciano worked his way around Japan and was now facing his back. Japan didn't turn around fast enough and Luciano managed to get behind Japan and put a knife up to his throat.

Luciano smirked, "Dropped the sword Jappy," He teased. Japan gritted his teeth, angry at himself for letting Luciano get close to him. He let go of his katana and it fell to the ground with a clang. Italy smiled and threw Japan's katana across the room.

"Now that's better," Italy said. Luciano lead Japan to the couch where he sat down, knowing what would happen next.

"Addio, my old friend," Italy said.
