Duct tape: A mistake to fix from last chapter, Texas was personified before becoming a state. The Republic of Texas was it's own nation for 9 years.

Also, to those people that reviewed but weren't logged in, my replies are at the end.

To everyone else, review.

Part 5: Engaging the Enemy (Electricity and German Shepherds)

"Who do they think they are?" California mumbled.

"Powerful Nations of the world that can crush little states like us, I guess" Ohio answered.

"That was a hypothetical question."

"Well, you shouldn't ask if you don't want to hear the answer," Minnesota teased.

"Guys don't fight. Besides I can understand why you're annoyed Cali. They're walking all over the place like they own it. They're not even paying any attention to the 'Don't Step on the Grass' signs," New Jersey remarked.

Washington glanced over, "Does it even matter if they step on the grass. We're about to do much worse to it."

"That's not the point," New Jersey huffed.

"Can one of you just push the button so we can get on with the next phase?" Delaware growled. He was met with a five point glare before they all spun back to their keyboards. Delaware sighed, his little siblings were crazy.

One of the states must have pushed the button because in the ears of the States a bing noise announced that Team Dihydrogen Monoxide was good to go.

Mississippi flipped one switch from inside the mansion and went to a small window with her binoculars. "This is Agent River, reporting. All's fair over here, love and luck to Carolina, over"

Down closer to the Nations two strawberry blondes of opposite genders were messing with wires, being extra craeful despite their thick rubber gloves and boots. "We love you too River," they echoed, "but now it's time for war. " In unison they dropped the wires into the water.

Italy screamed in surprise. "Mein Gott, Italy it's just a little water," Germany scolded as the sprinklers turned on. "Where are you going?"

The Italian nation was running to the path. He turned around once he was firmly in it's center. "Ve, I'm sorry Germany but I don't want to get wet. My clothes would get dirty and Romano would yell at me," he whined.

France eyed the Italians spot and looked like he wanted to go join him but England had a hold of his sleeve. "Angelttere, you don't have to hold me so tightly. I won't be leaving you," France raised his eyebrows and smiled suggestively.

"Shove off France. I just don't want you retreating because you're getting a bit wet, wanker." England released France knowing he wouldn't back away now and began to curse America's staff. "Juveniles, really like a little water will make me leave. I'm the United Bloody Kingdom and I won't be washed away with the AHHHHH!"

From the path Italy gaped at the other Nations who had volts running through their bodies.

Intermission:

About North and South Carolina; North is a girl while South is a boy. North has lighter hair and eyes than South, South's eyes are indigo.

Facts:

According to Forbes list of 10 Up and Coming Tech cities Columbus, Ohio is number 1. (This was a June 2008 list)

The Science and Engineering Readiness Index (SERI), which measures math and science scores, says that New Jersey primary education system is really good as of 2011. This is one the Huffington Post website.

Dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name that's used on the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Didvision website (), it's a website dedicated to alerting the public to the dangers of water. The DMRD doesn't actually exist and the whole website is a joke and I'm not saying that to be mean it's literally a joke.

Mississippi being called Agent River is a salute to the Mississippi River, which is the largest river system in the US.

They also referenced the saying "All's fair in love and war." They're cheesy like that.

Indigo is a plant which produces indigo dye. Early South Carolina made a lot of money on indigo and rice.

AN:

I couldn't do it. I couldn't shock Italy. He's just too cute.

I also couldn't end a chapter 300 words short. (ALthough it turned out being more like two small chapters put into one.)

Also,I want to point out that I said in Part 2 the control room had 6 people in it and now they've all been included. I'm so happy. (Both Connecticut and Massachusetts were offered a place in the control room, they're both home to Ivy League schools, but they wanted a piece of the action)

End Intermission:

The Nations, with the exception of Italy, were bent over their knees panting.

"I...can't...believe they did that to me," France gasped pressing a hand over his heart.

"I have no such trouble," Japan stated.

Italy had dashed over as soon as he saw it was safe and was hovering around the others. "Germany, are you alright?"

"Ja, I will be," he grunted in reply.

England took a deep breath, "we need to get out of here. Any ideas?"

The other nations stared at England. Maybe he was used to having electricity run through his body but they weren't and needed a little time to brace themselves.

China was the first to recover, "the only safe way is to go back."

"They might have come up with something else," Germany commented.

England's eyes were already narrowed with determination. "We'll have to risk it."

The Nations looked at each other before simultaneously taking off toward the exit.

Meanwhile, the States knew that letting them escape would be a mistake. The Nations could have come back with reinforcements. It was much better that they didn't have a chance to escape. However, the States weren't able to make traps and defenses pop out of nowhere and they couldn't put anything new down with the Nations right there. But they all ways had a back up plan, even if some of them didn't exactly like said backup plan.

"Are you sure about this? I don't want any of them to be hurt," Illinois warily asked Virginia.

"Don't worry it's all part of the plan," she replied.

Illinois frowned and reached down to scratch the ears of the German Shepherd at his feet. Nevada charged up to him and glomped the shocked Land of Lincoln. "Yeah and if they do shoot them, we can hang them!"

He tried to look at the excited state that was clinging to his back."What?"

Nevada slid down his back so she could flick her white hair over her shoulder. "It's one of my rules. If someone shoots your dog on your property, you can hang them. Do you think they have any guns on them?"

"You're crazy, don't you care if they shoot Chewy?"

"Of course I care," she huffed. "Why do you think I suggested we hang them?"

"I have rope," Texas offered with a happy go lucky smile.

Seeing Illinois's face getting rapidly paler Virginia decided to step in. "The dogs won't be hurt Illinois. They'll only be out there for a short amount of time and if there's any sign that the Nations would hurt them our siblings in the trees will open fire." That being said she turned back around to watch the Nations.

Illinois was still not convinced that this task was safe but there was nothing he could do but hope for the best now. He knelt down beside the 26 inch tall dog and pulled it into his arms. "It'll be alright Chewy I believe in you,"he whispered in it's ear.

"You sure love that dog don't ya,"Texas stated with a grin. "I'm sure he'll make us proud today."

Illinois smiled slightly and pulled away from the dog who took the space as a means to lick the states face. Nevada cooed at the site.

Stone faced Virginia turned back to her team mates, "Release the hounds."

Facts:

Treatments in early mental hospitals amounted to torture today. Being shocked to the point of near death was one such "treatment". (The nations were implying that England has gone through his for seeing his imaginary friends and that's why he recovers quickly.) One English hospital that was famous for it's brutal treatment was Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as Bedlam. Treatment for the mentally ill has greatly improvedsince then.

No seriously it's a state law in Nevada that you could be hanged for shooting someone's dog on their property. This according to .

Chicago Illinois was the top dog friendly dog city in 2005, says .

Illinois's official state nickname is the Land of Lincoln.

German Shepherds, also known as Alsatians, make good guard dogs and according to the American Kennel Club website they were the number 2 most popular dog in the US in both 2010 and 09 that's why the states had them and not some other dog.

Dogs are measured at the top of their shoulder blades. 24-26 inches is the desired height for male German Shepherds.

Head Cannon:

Chewy the German Shepard is named after Chewbacca from Star Wars.

Nevada did take off her helmet, against orders, because she prefers her mountain air and thought the helmet was too stuffy.

AN:

Illinois is a lot closer to Chewy than I had originally planned... I don't like how this chapter turned out.

Replies: (Thank you to everyone who reviewed.)

IDK: Seriously? Thank you. Also, I'm an insane evil genus. :)

Flyingmintbunny: (Shouldn't you be with England?) Since you pointed that out it keeps coming up everywhere but thanks. There's a note above addressing that.

The Midnight Shadow Star: I'm glad you like it and I did yesterday. Did you see?
