Halloween Day Chapter 4: Meeting the Head of the First Side, a hetalia - axis powers fanfic

So this is your Iggy-chan into your chapter~!

/=+=/

When Rizal opened the meeting hall door, he saw that there was no one in there except for a dark room and the snake who decided that getting in there was a good idea. He walked in as he saw Magnus inch out of the door before hearing the door close behind him, much to Charice's shock. He ran to the door and pounded on it.

"Hey! Ate! Ate!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" She called from the other side. "The door is just locked!"

"The hell…?" Rizal turned his head. "Who's there?"

"I thought I told you…it's just me."

He turned completely and saw as Arthur came from the shadows, wearing a bright white outfit and seeing the snake slither to his side. The power radiating from him was immense, more than what he originally had before. He did look a little creepy, and he assumed that's why Charice wasn't allowed into the room. The Englishman merely let the snake slither into the darkness, where he could no longer hear it move.

"What do you want?" Rizal tensed.

"I only wanted to talk to you." He answered. "Only you."

"…all right." He folded his arms. "About what?"

"You know exactly what we're going to talk about."

"…why those people out there are trying to kill me?"

"Exactly."

"They said this all started when you were casting spells."

"Yes, that's true. However, I was only using light bombs. They were done merely to startle, not to hurt or even alter anyone's psyche. How it ended up affecting all of us is beyond me." He sighed. "Unfortunately, I lost my magic in that spell and hence I am limited to only what I have now."

"That doesn't sound promising."

"No, it's not. For some reason, they think that they have to sacrifice you to end the world." He stated. "But that's not the only problem."

"What?"

"…everyone here believes that as well."

"Are you-?" Rizal stepped forward. "Are you seriously saying that you guys are going to kill me? Here I thought it was otherwise!"

"We're not going to act upon it, baka. It's one of the things enforced on us along with the spell." Arthur answered. "For some reason, it's telling us that we were created to destroy the world and that you are the key to letting it happen."

"…why me, though?"

"From what I remember, it's because you were mentioned right before the spell was cast."

"That's it?" Rizal sighed. "From a single mention, I'm now on everyone's hit list?"

"You can blame Ludwig for that. He was the one who mentioned you. Something about you getting lost or something."

Rizal couldn't help but blush at that statement.

"Of course, those of us who stay here had their memory at least partially intact, telling us the truth of who we really are and our purpose on this world." Arthur turned to Rizal. "State your full name, and I don't mean your human title."

"Pines Luzon, ang panloob na mga isla at ang kabisera ng lungsod ng Republika ng Pilipinas. I am the Inner Islands and the Capital City of the Republic of the Philippines."

"You can still speak your language. Many of us lost that ability."

"Well, that just sucks for you."

"But you're the one that lost your national status, right? That means that you're the only one here that can actually die tonight."

"…that's a threat I've heard way too much."

"Don't pull that crap over our heads. We all know that you're scared of that realization. Back then you had the power to fend them off. However, no human can stand up against a nation and succeed."

I can name a few, thank you very much.

"Still, even if you do die nothing will happen and the spell will stop at midnight. All we here need to do now is keep you alive until everyone comes back to normal. That's going to be impossible with what you are now." Arthur stated. "Fortunately, I happen to know what form you took today."

"The hell do you mean by that?"

"The costume that you have on now is of a boy who is just as human as you are now, but with extraordinary powers centered upon one thing…which I happen to have with me." He reached into his pocket. "Granted, I stole this from Kiku when he left, so I'm sure that this is good enough to keep you through the night."

He pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to Rizal, who took it rather sheepishly. The Filipino looked down and realized that…

"…it's a deck of cards."

"Look closer."

"…it's a deck of cards for a trading card game." Rizal stared at him. "Really?"

"That's your power."

"…I'm a nerd."

"You'll understand soon enough."

Rizal took that with a rock of salt and decided that he knew enough and he should tell his sister everything. He waved quietly to the Englishman and took the doorknob, surprised that he was able to open the door (since it was locked the first time he came in). Rizal turned back to a blank faced Arthur before heading out of the door and seeing…

"Ah, you're all right, Charice. I'm so glad that I was successful in protecting you and your brother…"

"Uh…sure."

"It's all right, it's all right! Perhaps it was destiny that I was able to find you at that moment and when you needed my help, we've been seeing each other so many times-"

"DENIED!"

*Pow*

"Geez, I can't tell if I was talking to the real you or the other part! They're too damn similar!"

"That's definitely the real Francis." Rizal pointed out.

"Bull crap! I've seen his character! He acts exactly like that, but not as perverted!" Charice stood up. "And the weird thing? He wasn't even looking at my butt the entire time!"

"…wow, that's…definitely the other half then."

"God, not even you can figure out what's what! This is getting too confusing! Someone please figure this out!"

"…well, you know I can't."

"Then who can? Geez, this is more mindboggling than the time I saw Ludwig in a mini-skirt!"

"…what?"

"…long, long story."

"Oh, Charice? Thank god that they found you."

"Yeah…yeah, they found me perfectly all righ- JESUS MARY ON EARTH THERE'S A SUIT OF ARMOR TALKING TO MEEEEE!"

Rizal looked up and saw as a suit of armor started coming toward them and started moving as if it was an ordinary human being. Charice didn't seem to take it well, panicking and hiding behind her brother as if it was the craziest thing she had ever seen in her life. Meanwhile, he was able to put two and two together.

"…Erika?"

"You remember me? That's good. I was worried it would be otherwise!"

"Well, it's pretty obvious concerning that I can tell from your voice…"

"Eh? Eri-chan?" Charice glomped her. "Noooo, you've been changed too! Waaaaah!"

"I-it's fine, Charice!" She hugged her back. "I remember everything, so I'm still the same Erika you know!"

"Yeah, but…you're not soft anymore! I swear, I'm going to hurt Iggy-chan once you turn back to normal! You're supposed to be the cute Eri-chan I know and love~!"

"Ah…it's all right, it's all right. Me and my brother are both all right."

"I know…but still…"

"Hey. Erika. Are you watching people again?"

Rizal looked up and saw that Vash was heading toward them, wearing a bright red jacket and a black outfit underneath it. He didn't look mad (as he usually would be); instead he looked a little surprised of his sister (now this entire block of sculpted iron) who was being interested with his sister, especially since it was usually the other way around.

"No, I was just noticing that your sister was changed too." Charice leaned forward. "We're fine-?"

"…what?" Vash folded his arms. "What's wrong?"

"…did you shrink or something? You look smaller than usual."

…

"Are you calling me short?"

"Eh? No, I'm just saying that- GAH!"

"I AM NOT SHORT! I'm just a holder of bad genetics! Blame my damn father for this! He's was too short for his own good!"

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHH I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRRRRYYYY! I WAS JUST BEING OBSERVANT, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE AN INSULT! I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT ANY MORE, I SWEAR, I SWEAR! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRRRYYYY!"

"…uh…"

"R-Rizal…" Erika turned to him. "S-should we stop him?"

"She deserved it. Let them be."

"Oh thanks, kuya-aaaaaAAAAAAHHHHH!"

England's Japanese VA is Noriaki Sugiyama. He's basically the Yuri Lowenthal of Japan, being the voice of Uryu, Sasuke and Kento from Code Geass. I opted for an Uryu + Sasuke fusion. That just makes the tsundere a freaking badass tsundere. Ain't that awesome.

Liechtenstein's (Erika) Japanese VA is Rie Kugimiya. She's done a few roles both in the main seat and supporting roles, but the big one is being Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist. It was either that or I make her into a Celebi…and this one is just funnier that way. And besides, it makes everything more reasonable.

Switzerland's Japanese VA is Romi Park. I thought about using her role as Temari from Naruto, but instead I opted for her other important role: Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. You probably noticed why I did that XD
