Chapter Six: Joining together

Both ships crews meet up again after hours of searching. "I can't find him anywhere!" Gilbert exclaims, freaking out with Alfred. "What if he's dead!" The American asks and gets comforted by Arthur. "It'll be alright, Alfred…he will be fine." Gilbert frowns at no one in particular. "Aren't any of you going to try to console me…?" Lovino raises a brow. "Why? None of us are in love with you. Francis might if you let him in your pants…" Francis smirks and Gilbert cringes.

"You can both go fuck yourselves." Antonio frowns and goes over to Gilbert, patting him on the back. "Don't worry. I'm sure he's ok. We haven't seen Ivan around so at least we know he isn't with him!" "Wrong as usual, Antonio!" A sickeningly happy voice calls out and they all look over to see Ivan with an unconscious Matthew over his shoulder.

"IVAN! LET GO OF MATTHEW!" Antonio commands, pulling out his sword. "That's right Ivan! Unhand the boy or you'll have to face both of our crews!"Arthur exclaims, drawing his sword as well. "Ohhhh? Your crews? I could take down both of your crews in a matter of minutes." Ivan says coldly as his crew appears behind him.

Aside from his cruelty and strength, his crew is what makes him very well known. The crew is made mostly of women, the only men being him and, a man from the Netherlands a boy from Korea. The first woman is a scary and violent one that sometimes can bring fear to Ivan himself, this is the woman from Belarus named Ekaterina. The second woman is older and is known for her ridiculously large rack and push over attitude, she is from Ukraine and is named Katyusha. The third is a woman who is relatively unknown, she isn't as strong or as well-endowed as the other two but she is still deadly. This woman is from Belgium and her name is Bella.

While the women are the main talk of the crew, the men are to be feared as well. Ivan is a ridiculously cold and cruel man, hell bent on his goal and uncaring of what he must do to achieve it. The next man from Netherlands, Nate, is ridiculously strong and uncaring as well. Then there is the last member, the teenage boy from Korea named Im Yong Soo. He is known for his strength as well on the battlefield, but what he is most well-known for is his sexual harassment of everyone he meets.

At the sight of the crew, Antonio moves to hide Lovino and Feliciano, only to get stopped by Ivan charging at him. "Focus, Carriedo! Our men will be fine!" Arthur exclaims, having blocked the Russian's sword from hitting the Spaniard. "R-right! Take care of the Vargas boys!" He yells out to the men. "We'll be fine, fuck off!" Lovino yells and Antonio frowns. "Carriedo, damnit! Help me out here!" Arthur yells, pulling the man's attention back to him.

Antonio quickly runs over and attacks the Russian from the side, only to get blocked by a pipe. Arthur shares a look with him and lunges at Ivan as Antonio snatches Matthew away and brings him to Feliciano to take care of. "Be careful and watch over him, Feliciano." Antonio says before heading back to assist Arthur with Ivan.

Francis is quickly dragged into a battle with the furious girl from Belarus, making him unable to protect the Italian brothers, not that Lovino would let him anyways. Kiku and Yao are also pulled into a battle with the other tall man from Netherlands, although Lovino doubted they would really protect them anyways. And Alfred, after checking on his brother, goes to fight the woman from Ukraine. Lovino sits down next to his brother and friend, who is now awake. He and Gilbert stare helplessly at the fights going on in front of them.

Antonio had moved from Ivan and is now battling with the girl from Belgium, Ludwig is fighting the Korean boy Im Yong Soo and Francis is trying to simultaneously hurt and molest Natalia. "Ever feel…useless?" Lovino asks blandly and Gilbert sighs. "That won't be the case for long, Lovino. Whenever people battle this crew at least two people will be hurt and down for the count." Feliciano frowns and looks over to Ludwig in fear as Lovino feels his eyes move to Antonio's fight.

"They won't…die, right?" He asks as he sees Antonio evenly matched with the feisty female. "No, neither of our crews is that weak. Don't worry, Antonio will survive." Gilbert says, a small smirk coming to his lips as he notices the Italian's eyes following their Spanish captain. "…Shut up potato bastard." "You two play nice." Matthew scolds, sitting up from Feliciano's lap.

They both turn and look at the blonde with a relieved smile. "You're ok…" They say in unison before shooting a glare at one another. "Yes, I'm fine…he caught me and drugged me to knock me out, but I'm completely better now." Matthew says as his eyes scan over the fights taking place. "This is all my fault…I'm so sorry, you guys…" He mutters under his breath.

"It's not your fault. It's these retarded men's faults." Lovino says, motioning to the men of Arthur and Antonio's crews. "If they weren't such retards it would be fine. Don't blame yourself." The Italian glares over at Gilbert to agree with him, and the Prussian does. "Yes…it's true…it isn't your fault, it's ours. I'm sorry, Mattie." The albino leans forward and kisses his boyfriend on the forehead, making Lovino glare at him darkly.

Antonio jumps away from Bella and lands next to Lovino. "Lovi, go grab my battle axe. Now." Lovino nods and runs to the ship before quickly returning with the long axe. "H-here!" He throws it awkwardly and Antonio catches it perfectly. The Spaniard spins the axe and points it at Bella. "What a show off! Trying to look cool before you get killed by a woman….?" Bella scoffs and Antonio smirks silently.

He lifts up the axe and slashes it at her, breaking her sword. "Y-you bastard!" She exclaims before Nate throws her another one. "Don't screw it up this time, Bella!" Antonio smirks at her. "That's right, Bella. Don't screw it up." The woman scowls and charges at him, steel colliding with steel once again. "What a shame….that beautiful face of yours will be covered in blood soon, Antonio." Bella hisses before a rock comes out of nowhere and hits her. "What the fuck was that?" She looks around quickly before Antonio lunges at her again.

Gilbert looks over to Lovino with a smirk as the boy wipes dirt off of his and. "Hm…how childish, Lovino." Lovino scowls at him. "I don't know what you're talking about, albino bastard." The Italian looks away from the fight and his eyes land on Francis' battle with Natalia. "…Your buddy is losing, Gilbert." Gilbert looks over and sees Francis covered in blood and barely standing. "Shit! Take care of Birdie!" He gives the blonde a quick kiss before running over to take Francis' place on the battlefield.

Francis limps over to the boys and falls into Lovino's arms. "Ah…hello Lovino~!" Lovino twitches and lays the man on the floor and begins to bandage him with some first aide materials he got while grabbing Antonio's axe. "Ah! Alfred!" Matthew exclaims as his brother falls to the ground in exhaustion. "Feliciano, Lovino, I'm going out there!" The blonde exclaims and runs out before the brothers can protest. He grabs his brother and runs him over to the Italians, taking his sword and running off.

"These people are really good…aren't they?" Lovino mutters as Feliciano helps Alfred. "Oui, Lovino. They are the best…but so aren't our crews. Especially our captains, as you can see. Neither man is tired or even scratched..." Francis points out and Lovino looks over to Arthur who is still fighting Ivan. "…I guess…in battle at least…you guys are impressive." He mumbles and Francis smiles up at him. "How sweet of you, mon Ami." Lovino looks to his left and, to his shock, sees the Korean boy Im Yong Soo charging toward them. "WH-?" He instinctively jumps up and pulls Feliciano into his arms to keep him safe. "DIE!" Im Yong Soo yells as he unsheathes his sword.

"LOVI!" Antonio yells and tries to run over, only to have Bella block him. Francis and Alfred try to pulls out their swords before quickly remembering Gilbert and Matthew took them. Im Yong Soo's blade is soon hovering above Lovino and the Korean teen brings it down to stab the boy's back, hoping to get him and his brother. His plans are cut short when Ludwig comes out of nowhere and blocks the blade. Ludwig kicks Im Yong Soo away and stands up, a pool of blood forming under where he stands.

"L-Ludwig! You're hurt!" Feliciano exclaims and Ludwig looks over at him apologetically. "I apologize, Lovino, Feliciano, I could not keep him away…" Lovino frowns and lets go of Feliciano before walking over to Ludwig. "Don't be stupid." He reaches over and takes the sword out of the man's hands, awkwardly raising it up to point at Im Yong Soo. "You're useless to us against him injured. Go with Feliciano."

Ludwig goes to protest but Feliciano runs up and pulls him over to their area, resting his head on his lap. Lovino twitches a little at this before looking back to Im Yong Soo. "I get the captain's toy next? Lucky me~!" The Korean coos and Lovino twitches. "WH-? CAPTAIN'S TOY?" Lovino fumes for a minute before Im Yong Soo charges at him. He lifts his blade to block, wishing he had his gun. "STOP!" Antonio yells and everyone, to Lovino's shock, actually stops.

He runs over to Lovino and grabs his wrist tightly. "This boy can't fight! I-!" Lovino pushes Antonio away and glares at him. "Stop being so fucking stubborn! I will be fine, now quit being stupid!" Ivan smiles at Antonio. "There you have it, Antonio. He wants to fight. Now let us continue." Arthur looks at Ivan confused. "Why did you even listen to him?" Ivan smiles at the Brit. "I wanted to see the looks on his face when he realized he couldn't stop the inevitable death of his little friend~!" Arthur twitches. "You really are a bastard." "You're so kind."

Lovino glares at Antonio and the man, to his surprise, glares back before going back to fight Bella. The battle goes on for hours, no group clearly winning. Granted, Ivan's team didn't have anyone in desperate need of medical attention like their teams had, but they weren't fairing well in the battles. Bella is close to her limit against Antonio, Nate has taken out Kiku but is now losing miserably to the enraged Yao, and Katyusha is actually doing horribly against Matthew, turns out the boy is very lethal when he has to be. The only ones not clearly winning are Lovino and Arthur. In fact, Arthur looks close to collapsing.

Antonio notices this and decides to make quick work of the injured girl in front of him. He runs up to her and stabs her in the gut. As she falls to the ground he runs over to Arthur and Ivan's battle. He grabs Arthur and pushes him to Feliciano, who pulls the reluctant injured man back to their 'medical ward'. "I am your next opponent, Ivan." Antonio says and Ivan smiles at him. "How wonderful, I get to take out both captains from my two worst enemies…"

The two men lift up their weapons and charge at one another. As they fight, Gilbert finally finds an in to get Natalia. The girl is watching Ivan fight, noticing one of his arms is extremely injured, and Gilbert takes the opportunity to knock her unconscious. "Gilbert! What the hell? Kill her!" Arthur yells weakly and Gilbert looks over to Ivan, ignoring the British man.

Ivan is still fighting Antonio, but his attention is on Natalia. "I see…" Gilbert mutters and raises his blade to her throat. "Say good bye, psycho!" He yells and lifts his blade up to chop her head off. Ivan tries to run over to stop them and Antonio, knowing what Gilbert is doing, takes this opportunity to stab the man in the back. "We're leaving now, Ivan." He hisses into the man's ear before pulling his blade out and gathering his and Arthur's men to leave.

Nate and Katyusha immediately go over to the injured ones. But Im Yong Soo stays with Lovino. "DAMN YOUR CAPTAIN!" The Korean yells before stabbing going to stab the boy in the stomach. Lovino blocks, but sadly not well enough and he's stabbed in the shoulder. "Merda!" He hisses and goes to stab the boy before Antonio comes out of nowhere and hits the Korean with the flat end of his axe, knocking the boy to the ground. "Come here, Lovino!" Antonio demands and Lovino nods, going to the man.

The Spaniard drops his axe to the ground and rips a large piece of his shirt off, wrapping Lovino's shoulder with it. He then picks his axe back up and captures the Italian's chin with his free hand, jerking his head up so they are looking each other in the eyes. "If you ever do something so stupid again, you will be punished. Injured or not. Understand?" Lovino glares at Antonio. "You guys needed me to-!" "Do you understand, Lovino?" Antonio yells and Lovino looks away, nodding. "Good…" The Spaniard lets go of his chin and points to the others. "Now go over there with everyone else." Lovino whispers something in Italian before going to the others.

Later:

"LETS HAVE A TOAST TO GIL!" Francis exclaims, holding up hiss glass of wine. "If it wasn't for his idea to distract Ivan, we might be dead now!" Everyone but Lovino and Antonio cheer enthusiastically. Antonio raises his glass half-heartedly and Lovino just sits on a barrel behind everyone's table at the bar. "Come on, Carriedo! This is the first time either of our crews has won against Ivan's! You even managed to kill one! Your new member Lovino was right. We should form a truce. Our father's grievances are theirs and theirs alone. What do you say?" Arthur asks and Antonio nods. "Sounds good."

Gilbert looks over to Matthew. "Antonio and Lovino are acting weird…" Matthew laughs a little. "They are both to stubborn and prideful. Give them some time and they'll make up. One will fold…probably." Feliciano frowns at Matthew. "It will have to be Antonio, you know. Fratello doesn't see anything wrong with what he did." Ludwig sighs. "I don't really see anything wrong with what Lovino did. We needed him and he bravely helped." Francis and Matthew sigh in unison. "They just don't understand matters of the heart…" They say in unison and Gilbert twitches. "Yes we do! We are all with someone you know!" The other two shrug. "Doesn't mean you have to know all the matters of the heart. Only yours." They says in unison again and Gilbert cringes. "OK….cut that out…it's weird…" "What's weird?" Francis and Matthew ask and Gilbert screams in aggravation as they smirk to each other. "It's so fun to get him going." The French man whispers and Matthew laughs. "He's so cute when he's aggravated~!"

Outside:

Lovino wanders around the outside of the bar and stumbles upon Antonio standing alone and staring at the ocean beneath down the hill they are on. He tenses up a little and turns to go back inside. "Lovino, wait." Antonio calls and Lovino freezes in mid step to look back at him. "H…huh? I know, I know. I'm not allowed to do anything dangerous or reckless because apparently I'm too fragile and USELESS to you!" Lovino says bitterly and stomps away.

Antonio remains silent as he watches the boy leave towards the bar.
