So well, here's the second translated chapter.
Iggy'ssecretadmirer: Thank you for your nice comment, I was really worried before that my fic sounded so unnatural because I used google translator a lot. xD
AmazingCreativeUsername: Thanks for correcting the mistakes. I edited them (in my word document, lol). But actually I meant "Notizblock" in my original text. I just don't know how to translate that. (Google translator neither, lol)
Chap II / The hero, the magician and the Yaoifreak
Stunned, Yao and I stared at the girl who was standing in the middle of the room, Gilbird on her shoulder.
"There's more than one of you, aru?" China groaned and face palmed. "This keeps getting better and better!" I ignored his exasperated exclamations and rushed over to Alex.
"What are you doing here?" I shouted, shocked, and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her back and forth. "How did you get here?"
"Aiya~ Sit down first, I'll get you some red tea and you tell us what happened to you, okay?" Yao proposed and I nodded. Alex, too, seemed to be okay with it. When China left the room to prepare the tea, we looked at each other for some time before both of us burst into laughter.
"Oh God, you startled me!" I said and let myself fall onto the sofa again, Alex sitting down next to me. "But it sure feels great to be here, right?" She just looked at me, perplexed, before she answered:
"Well, the start of this day was anything but great, but now I have grown accustomed to madness everywhere I go." She sighed. "Want to know what happened to me until now?" I grinned at her.
"Sure thing."
"Oh well" She took a deep breath and began to tell me her story.
~Flashback~
After entering the apartment, I slammed the door shut and sent my sports bag flying into the next corner. I had just returned from playing football with the boys, it was late and I was tired. I took a deep breath and wiped my forehead with the back of my hand. I really forgot about the time while playing, so I was really lucky my mom had to work today and wasn't home yet. It really would have gotten stressed if she was here…
I shuffled into my room, closed the door and put on my pyjamas. Tomorrow I had school with my unbearably perverted classmates again… The only good thing tomorrow was German class because my neighbour had jokes on his IPhone that were just too hilarious. I grinned before getting under my blanket. Tomorrow we also had Geography where we now were learning facts about the European countries. I never could hold back my laughter when our teacher started to talk about the international relationship between Germany and France. I was proud of me to be the one to discover Hetalia and to infect my best friend Elena with it. And when I finally came to Germany, I could cosplay countries with Elli… At this thought I fell asleep.
In my dream I floated down a dark hallway which was decorated with violet lights on both sides who suddenly blazed up and became yellow, raging flames. From one side to the other, several thin strings were hanging in the air, almost like a spider's net, but when I reached out for them, I couldn't feel their touch. In the end, the hallway burst into tiny black shards that wrapped around my body, restricting my movements…
"Ngh… no!" I squirmed, trying to get rid of the imaginary ropes…
And woke up. But the first thing I saw was a huge window from which I could see a green garden with tall trees. Alright, I was definitely not at home anymore.
"What the…" I began but stopped when I felt a pressure against my back. And what the hell was up with my voice? "Uhh… Lora?" I called my dog but earned only a sleepy grunt which was clearly not hers. "Alright, what the hell is happening here?" I tried to get up but two arms that were wrapped around me prevented me from doing so. "Whoever you are, let go of me!" The grunting got louder and finally I was freed from the arms. I fell forward and almost hit the floor with my face but those two arms from before wrapped themselves around me again and didn't let me fall. I noticed how something was being pressed against my back again and my now woken-up mind realized in shock that it was a pair of breasts. "What is this? Let go- WHATAREYOUDOING?" I cried partially in shock, partially pained when something – or someone nipped at my neck.
"Gilbert, don't be so stiff today," a female voice chuckled, "although I do want a region of yours stiff now." A soft laugh came from behind and I felt a hand wandering to my waist. My eyes widened in shock when I finally understood the intentions of the person.
"No, damn it! I'm not a lesbian!" I shouted in panic and spun around to look the person in the face. Instead, I gasped in surprise and fell from the bed, landing on my back. I felt sharp pain race through my body when my body landed on the floor but I ignored them. The shock from seeing the woman on the bed was replaced by the shock from seeing my own body. For an unknown reason, I wore only a pair of dark blue boxers and a grey undershirt and… WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY BREASTS? Looking down on my body, I didn't even recognize it. It seemed like I had turned into a man! And then that woman from before appeared on the edge of the bed. She was young, well-built and had long, light brown hair and big emerald green eyes. Oh my god… "Hungary…!" I uttered before she let herself fall down on me again, pinning me to the floor.
"Yes, Gil?" She asked with a seductive voice and bowed down slowly to bring our lips together in a kiss. Please don't! The thought rushed through my head but her grip was way too strong for me, so I couldn't escape from her. And suddenly I heard a grumpy "Gilbird" from above and a yellow blob hushed through my field of vision. One moment later, I felt a soft touch on my shoulder. Hungary's lips stopped not far away from mine, judging from her expression she was clueless. "Who… are you?" Her grip loosened and I shook it off hastily, sliding back a few meters after that.
"You noticed only now?" I ranted, with my normal voice again, thank goodness, and had to notice contently that she didn't want to rape me anymore. Only now I noticed she was wearing sexy lingerie. Eww, sexy lingerie.
"A few moments ago you were still Gilbert" She stuttered, stunned, and looked at me intensively. "Who are you?"
"Alexandra." I sighed. "When I woke up today, I was in this room and you wanted to harass me."
"S-sorry for that." I could see she was embarrassed. "But you looked exactly like Gilbert and…" Her expression brightened. "Wait a sec, I have an idea!" With these words she jumped up and ran out of the room, only to come back a few seconds later with a big mirror in her hands. "Look at this." She pointed at the mirror. There I saw myself, sitting on the floor, still wearing those dark blue boxer shorts and a grey undershirt but my figure got more female again, what I noticed, delighted. On my shoulder sat the little yellow bird and only repeated "Gilbird, Gilbird" with a deep voice. "Now let me try something." Her voice was calm so I didn't suspect anything dangerous or shocking. "Gilbird, come here." The bird left my shoulder again and I felt a soft scratch on it, not quite registering it because all my attention was focusing on the mirror. As soon as Gilbird had stopped touching my body, it started transforming itself: The dark brown of my hairs faded and now was only a grayish white, the color of my pupils changed to a bloody red and my whole body grew and became more muscular. In front of the mirror, Prussia was sitting on the floor!
"What the…" I started and interrupted myself when I realized that the Prussia in the mirror mimicked my every move. "That has to be a bad joke, right?" Hungary just moved the mirror away and shook her head with a sad expression on her face.
"I'm afraid not, Alexandra." She spoke quietly and looked up again. "I'm sorry for flirting so… intensively with you." She started to blush and quickly looked away.
"Don't worry, it's alright." I assured her although I felt the exact opposite of my words. I was really traumatized by the earlier events but right now I found it more important to find a way to get me back than to occupy ourselves with Hungary's sexual harassment. "I propose that we put on some clothes before continuing our conversation." Hungary nodded and made me a sign to follow her to the closet.
A bit later we sat at the dining table, facing each other. Elizaveta asked me about the things that happened to me and I answered her questions. Told her who I was and how I got here. Told her about the Anime, what she didn't believe at first but was convinced in the end.
"So, what are we going to do now?" I asked, desperate, and let my head sink between my arms. I was sure that for Awesome Prussia this looked quite unmanly but he had to live with it.
"We can't tell the other countries about you if we don't want to cause a big chaos." Elizaveta continued thinking. "It would be better for you if you stayed here and I will try to get a grasp of this situation." She stood up and turned around. "The meeting will be starting soon. Just wait here for me, okay?" I nodded and murmured a goodbye to her before I heard the door being closed. Now I was all by myself in this huge apartment and had plenty of time on my hands. Still a bit unsure, I stood up and crossed the rooms, hoping to find something I could entertain myself with while Hungary was away. In the tall bookshelves were only Yaoi albums with plenty of photos with men (not that I had looked through those notebooks, no) which didn't interest me much. I didn't find anything else and returned to the room where I had been sitting with Elizaveta. As soon as I arrived there, Gilbird greeted me and entertained me while Hungary was at the meeting, much to my pleasure. Finally I heard the sound of the door and a bit later an exhausted Elizaveta stumbled into the room.
"A huge kindergarten." She sighed and ruffled her hair. "And I'm not even allowed to use my frying pan anymore…! Oh, Alexandra!" She jumped up from the chair she just sat down on. "Kiku told me that you should bring this letter to Yao!" She gave me a crisp white envelope on which "Wang Yao" was written in beautiful handwriting. "Just go down the hallway and turn left at the first opportunity. He is in room 1337. Can you do that?" I sighed.
"Surely. See you later then." I took the letter and left the suite. While I was going to the room, I dealt with my thoughts. "It's actually quite cool to be in the Hetalia world." I grinned. "When I arrive at the room, I should behave how Prussia would…" As soon as I had ended that thought, I already stood in front of the door with the golden number plate with the "1337" written on it. It wasn't locked, so I just tore it open and shouted into the room: "Hey China, I gotta tell ya something from Japan! I'm awesome, so don't let the awesome Me wait!" But what I saw in this room surpassed everything I had seen so far: The person sitting on the couch was none other that Elli – clothed in Russia's coat!
~Flashback end~
"So I came here like this." Alex finished talking and took a sip of her tee that Yao had brought into the room.
"That's just… unbelievable, aru." Yao agreed and drank from his tea as well. I just nodded, overwhelmed by all the facts I had received so far.
"Actually, why are you wearing Russia's coat, Elli?" Alex asked curiously and looked at the scarf that I had taken from the floor. "And where is the real Russia?" I sighed tiredly.
"That's what I want to know." With these words, I put the scarf around my neck again and watched Alex paling with triumph.
"Oh god.. no…" She sputtered and the teacup almost fell from her hands. "You, too…?"
"Oh yeah," I agreed. "And now we have an appointment with America to find out if he knows something about this whole disaster…" Yao nodded in agreement before putting his tea back onto the table.
"It's time we get going, aru." He said and all of us stood up, ready to go. "Come with us for now, Alexandra." Alex nodded eagerly, put a white envelope on the table which Yao took immediately and followed us out of the room. Before exiting our suite, she chased Gilbird away from her shoulder successfully.
"We've arrived, aru." China told us a few floors higher when we stopped in front of the room with a "4070" on the golden number plate. He knocked hesitatingly and when we heard a cheerful "Come in!" from inside, he opened the door. Alex and I followed him, not quite sure what to do in such a situation.
"Hi China, hello… Prussia and… hello, Russia." America seemed to be less enthusiastic with every new greeting. Then Alfred turned back to China. "What does this mean? You said you needed my help and then you come here with… this!" He shouted angrily and made gestures with his hands, forgetting about the burger he had been eating.
"But she needs help, aru!" China tried to defend me. America stopped talking but his expression was still the same – incredulous.
"She? Come on China, you should know best that Russia is male!" He said sceptically and looked at me. "I'm sure that's one of his tricks to get us all to become one with him." He shook his head. Yao looked at me too, desperation written all over his face and I pointed at the scarf. First he declined but then understood there was no other option. I grabbed the scarf and took it off. To my right, I could see how the small yellow blob, also known as Gilbird, got himself down on Prussia's shoulder. When the white and soft fabric finally landed on the floor, America had already strained his jaw and stared at me in utter shock. At this moment ten hamburgers could easily have fitted in his mouth.
"What the…" He still looked at me. "What have you done to him, China?" Latter only shrugged.
"Yesterday we were at the bar, he drank some vodka, then I brought us both to our suite and when I woke up this morning, she was here instead of Russia."
"I understand…" America seemed to think but his expression brightened almost immediately. "I know! We just have to give her vodka and Russia will be the same again!" Behind me I heard Alex burst out in laughter, but I only stared at America, stunned.
"You don't mean it, do you, America?" I sputtered. Now that was just madness! The United States of America wanted to make me drink vodka! And I was only fourteen! "Th-that can't be right, because… because… her!" I pushed Alex forward, ignoring her protests. "Prussia didn't drink any alcohol yesterday and she is still here!" Alright, it was highly unlikely that Prussia was sober but this was my only hope to avoid the high alcohol level in my blood.
"Hmm…" Alfred seemed to consider my argument. "Alright. Let's sit down first and then search for a solution." Suddenly he didn't seem like America anymore but like a rationally thinking adult. I stood there for a moment, dumbstruck, before sitting down on one of the red armchairs in the middle of the room. "Tell me about you, like, your name, what happened to you and so on." His cerulean eyes looked at me curiously and nervously, I began my speech, trying to avoid forgetting any detail of my "adventure".
"My name is Elena and I'm actually fourteen years old. Yesterday I went to bed, as usual, saw a strange dream and then woke up here as Ivan." When I mentioned the dream, China's head jerked up.
"Tell us more about the dream." He asked and I obeyed.
"First, there were violet lights, then yellow flames and in the end there were thin glowing threads who formed a star."
"A star! That's it!" America shouted and jumped up from the chair. "That's Iggy's doing!"
"Iggy?" Alex asked blankly.
"Arthur?" I was as perplexed as she was.
"Aiya~ England?" China seemed to be the most shocked.
"Iggy is England?" Alex realized but I only rolled my eyes, annoyed at her obliviousness.
"So what are we going to do now?" I asked America, ignoring Alex' question.
"Easy. We get him here." America grinned, full of anticipation and I had a feeling something funny would happen soon.
"And how? As far as I'm informed, he will decline our offer, all grumpy." China sighed. "I'm afraid we have to pay him a visit…"
"We don't." America's grin widened, then he grabbed the phone. "I know a way to get him here and if I'm the one asking," his eyes brightened, "he won't be able to turn down the request. Just be quiet while I'm talking, please." With a giggle he dealt England's number. In the whole room it got so quiet that we all could hear England clearly.
"America? What do you want?" I recognized England's bored voice at once. It was obvious that he was going to say something like that. But America's reaction made my heart skip a beat.
"Britannia Angel" America breathed into the micro and moaned slightly. "I need you… here and now…" He moaned again and panted.
"Alfred? Alfred?" England's voice sounded worried. "Listen, I'm going to change and come over to you, okay?"
"Hurry up, Arthur" America uttered before he hung up and turned to us again with a grin on his lips. "You're going to see something spectacular now." He laughed and winked at us. "Iggy deserves this for getting you here against your will. Oh and could you change back to Russia and Prussia again? That will be funnier." He giggled again and I grinned back at him. That was the old America that I used to know and like. "Oh and China," Alfred turned to Yao, "please don't tell anyone about what you are going to see now." Latter just nodded and wanted to add something but he remained silent when the door was torn open and England appeared in the doorframe.
"Alfred! What happened? Are you alright?" He shouted but none of us were listening to him; we all stared at his clothing: He wore a strange white toga, had put big angel wings on his back and above his head was a halo. Furthermore, he held a tube with an unknown content in his hands.
"Alfred, awesome, just awesome!" I squealed and almost choked on my laughter. The fact that I was Russia just now was forgotten as soon as I saw England.
"Now I get why Elli fancies America so much." Alex and China lay on the floor laughing.
"America! What the hell is this, you wanker?" England recovered from the first shock and made his way over to America while I still gasped for air.
"Iggy, I think you should explain this to those two over there." America grinned and pointed in Alex' and my direction.
"Why should I explain something to them?" Arthur turned to us, glaring, his cheeks crimson red. "You didn't see any of this, damn it!" Unfortunately, we were too busy laughing than we could have heard him.
"Alright, you can go back to your normal self again." Alfred ordered, still giggling and Alex and I stood up, wiping the tears from our eyes. We were still a bit dizzy from the whole laughter. For the second time within a short time span Gilbird flew up and my scarf down. For the second time I saw an open mouth where ten burgers would have fit in.
"What the…" England murmured incredulously, "… the magic worked out…?"
"I told you it was him!" America shouted in triumph and made a thumb-up.
"What have you done, exactly?" I asked the English who still stood in the middle of the room, motionless. Latter let himself fall on an armchair and looked at me with dull eyes.
"Russia pissed me off again and I thought that I should take my revenge and turn him into a girl." Arthur spoke slowly, choosing every word carefully. "But Russia wasn't transformed but replaced by a girl, Prussia because of an unknown reason as well." He continued with his monologue before jumping up again. "That's it! I will be back soon!" He shouted and rushed over to the door.
"Iggy, wait!" America's voice reached Arthur when he had grabbed the doorknob and he turned to the American. "It would be best if you changed into something less provocative and remove the wings and the halo." While he laughed, Arthur blushed even more (was that even possible anymore…?) and slammed the door shut, leaving the room.
"Poor Arthur." I sighed and looked over to America. "That was quite mean, don't you think?" Alfred shook his head in response, still grinning.
"He deserved it, since last night, he wanted to be Seme so badly." He snorted and I burst out in laughter again. America intended to explain further but was interrupted:
"I don't want to know it that detailed!" Alex shouted and made wild gestures with her hands, brushing Gilbert off her shoulder. I wanted to reply but England walked into the room again, with normal clothes on and a thick violet book in his hands.
"So, here is it." He sighed, exhausted, and took place on the armchair he sat on earlier. "I have good and bad news." He continued when nobody objected. "First the good one: While you are in this world, the time on earth will stop so no one will notice you're missing. However, the time here will continue to go on. When you return, it will be like you haven't been here at all. Furthermore, there really is a way to get you back." When he said that, Alex' and my eyes brightened but England hadn't finished yet. "Well and the bad news is that the spell had a little side effect…" Arthur ignored America's sarcastic "How surprising" and continued to talk. "I didn't turn only you two into countries but five people in total… and you have to find them, either you can't travel back!" We looked at each other unsurely, not sure of what to say…
"Well, at least we have two of us now and from three countries we know for sure that they are real." I looked around and saw the approval in everyone's eyes.
"Elena is right! We have to stay positive!" America shouted and took a sip from his Cola. "You can leave the whole thing to me since I'm the hero!" Oh no, that again…
"If you overwork yourself, you will surely break under this pressure and won't be able to be a hero for us all." I smiled and looked at Alfred whose enthusiasm had vanished and who looked at me in surprise.
"You're right!" He called out and put an arm around my shoulders. "With this, I make you my apprentice so later you can be a hero like myself and help me!" I sighed. It seemed like this was a hopeless case.
"Well, my idea would be that-" I started talking but was interrupted when the door was broken open. A really angry Hungary appeared in the doorframe, her beloved frying pan in her hands.
"What have you done to Prussia?" She yelled at us. "I know you keep him in here!"
"Calm down, Hungary." Alex stood up and made calming gestures with her hands. "This is my best friend Elli, we are currently discussing with China, England and America how to clear up this whole mess!"
"Ah, alright." Elizaveta said calmly and shrugged. She sunk the hand with the pan in it and closed the door. Then she came to us and sat down on the last armchair that was still free. "The more people, the better, right?" She grinned. "Plus, this pan would help us if we have to deal with less cooperative people." She looked down at her pan, satisfied, before watching us again. "Well, what is the plan like?"
"I have an idea." I said quickly before Alfred could start talking about heroes again. Honestly, that was the only annoying thing about him. "We form teams with two people in each and the teams search countries whose behaviour is suspicious. Then we can get those people back here and examine them further. Okay?" I looked at everyone expectantly.
"Super idea!" America shouted happily. "As expected from my understudy!" I had to grin. "But Iggy will be in my team!" With those words Alfred let himself fall on Arthur's lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. The other blushed again and started to rant that America better get off him now or something bad will happen. I giggled at the whole action, regretting that I didn't take my camera with me while Alex made puking sounds. I would have watched this spectacle longer if we didn't have any important mission to do.
"Well, I suggest China and I and Hungary and you make a team, alright? Like this both of us can investigate with an experienced country." I turned to Alex who only nodded in agreement. At this moment, a memory popped up in my mind – Feliciano's strange transformation. I lowered my head, thinking about Italy. Perhaps he should become our next target…
