So this is the big explanation episode, hope you understand and enjoy it!

It felt like forever until they found themselves at the meeting hall. Rizal looked up and realized that it looked more majestic now then the last time he came here at the same time. He figured that it must've been because the spell had affected the landscape as well as the people in it.

"So this is HQ, then?" Charice laughed. "Majestic!"

"Indeed it is!" Alfred laughed as well. "We usually stay here for operations and stuff."

"You make it sound like this has been happening for years…" Rizal shivered.

"Eh? Oh, sorry about that! That was the 'other me' talking!" He sighed, waving his hand. "Unlike the others, I stayed partially intact. I usually act like my costume sometimes, so you have to mind me."

"Well, as long as you're not trying to kill anyone I can tolerate." Charice pointed out. "Besides-"

"Ah~! You got him here!"

Rizal was about to say something when a figure jumped out of the shadows, immediately identifying it to be Ivan. Charice screamed as the Russian stood up, wearing what looked like tight spandex (…the fuuuu-?) before he proceed to…chew…on Rizal's…arm…

OK, what?

"Owwwwww! Ivan, what the hell is wrong with you?

"WHAT THE HELL HE'S EATING KUYA'S ARM!"

"Ivan, stop that! He doesn't know yet!" Alfred shook his sword around. "Look, you're scaring him!"

"…oh, sorry."

Ivan let go, revealing a rather deep flesh wound where Ivan ate him. He pushed the Filipino in the building where they saw (with surprise) that the building started to glow around the wound and fixed it to near perfection. Rizal moved his arm with the same motion as before as he turned to Alfred with shock.

"It's a weird thing with this building…it seems to reverse any damage done by the people inside it." He stated. "Iggy must've made it into a safe haven after what he did."

"…at least he did something right…" Rizal muttered.

"Especially this is totally his fault." Charice stated.

"Completely his fault." Alfred added.

"Most likely his fault." Ivan laughed.

"…yeah, most definitely."

"I can hear you from where I am. Don't think I'm not listening."

"…oh, it's Iggy."

"Don't call me that. I can't tolerate you saying that even if I'm not the same Arthur that you know."

"There's…" Rizal turned his head. "There's a voice coming out of the walls."

"…that's creepy." Charice blinked. "That is most definitely creepy- OH DEAR GOD IT'S A SNAKE!"

Rizal blinked as he heard a thud and a huge snake dropped out of the rooftop and right in front of them. But instead of actually trying to kill him, the snake instead slithered toward the Filipino and stared deep into his eyes. He decided it was best to do so, for like Alfred said, he wasn't going to get killed here. Not in this building, of course.

"What do you want?"

"We need to talk, that's what. You're going to find me further in the building. Follow my assistant. He knows the way."

Rizal blinked before seeing the snake slither down to a man who didn't look too happy, wearing punk clothes and what seemed to be an awesome (yet strangely temporary) tattoo. What shocked him more was the realization that it was Magnus talking to them. He turned around.

"All right, follow me."

The two siblings kept close to each other as they headed further down into the building. A few people were there and were staring at the Filipinos as they passed by, but only Rizal got the true shivers out of them. There was a good chance that many of them still kept their national powers, and if any of them decided to jump then Rizal was as good as gone…

"None of them will attack. All the people here are on our side. They at least remember their real selves and as such act accordingly." Alfred pointed out. "You'll be fine, Rizal~!"

"…sure…"

"Actually, I've been meaning to ask you that." Charice turned to him, walking backwards. "What do you mean by 'real selves' and 'other me' and words like that?"

"Well, I'm not really sure myself…but from what I can gather-"

"Which isn't much…"

"Shut up Rizal…anyway, from what I can gather our real personalities had been suppressed by Iggy's spells and replaced by new ones…ones that seem to fit whatever the heck we were wearing at the time." Alfred stretched out his clothing. "For me, it's this rather cool superhero with two swords!"

"Does that superhero involve having a different voice and threatening to stab people's eyes out?"

"Oh, that part…yeah, I don't know what that is. I figured it was a side effect to keeping myself intact!"

Great, I'm with a dumbass…who's dumber than before. Charice wanted to cry.

"Are there anyone else like you?" Rizal asked.

"Not that I know of…well, except you two, but that's probably because you weren't in the building." Alfred shrugged. "After everyone turned, whoever was completely suppressed fled the building in confusion...how they ended up with what they are now is beyond what I can comprehend."

Then…why in the world did they start targeting me? What did I do?

"Hey, guys." Magnus looked up. "We're here."

Russia's Japanese VA is Yasuhiro Takato. None of the roles I read sounded like any I knew (god forbid I decide that he becomes a Digimon or that white cat from Sailor Moon O-O) except for Gluttony in Fullmetal Alchemist. He only did the first adaptation, so don't get any ideas that he came back or anything.

Denmark's (Magnus) Japanese VA is Hiroshi Shimozaki. Again, he was one of the VAs who did many supporting roles but never a major role, so I almost opted to cut him out. The only major role he had played was this guy named Kobayashi in The Asylum Session. So here's your Denmark cameo. If I find out anything else, I'll give him a bigger role.

Iggy-kun comes in the next chappie~!
