Sorry it took so long, but... like I said in my profile, my computer no longer runs Microsoft Word... and yes, it took me WEEKS to think up the idea of typing things up on FFN itself.

New part(s) of the disclaimer: I had Kiku use Japanese honorifics, but I'm no expert so I might mess up. Some characters may be slightly OOC, cuz I'm not an expert on them either. Plus, OOC-ness may be part of the storyline.

Check the other chapters for the rest of the disclaimer.

For the next chapter or two, I may or may not put who says what on the "paper", cuz I'm getting lazy. Check speech patterns to identify the speaker.

"Fratello's missing!"

"What? Lovino's missing? What happened?" Alfred asked, voice shaking. "My god... not another attack..."

"I dunno what happened, ve. He went to answer the door, some trick-or-treaters I guess, the door slammed shut, and Lovino never came back..."

~Flashback~

"Ve~ Fratello? Will you help me with this?"

"Chigi! Be careful, dammit, before you drop that!" Lovino yelped, running over to help his brother carry a heavy pot of water. They hoisted it onto the stove and began to heat it up.

"Phew... Grazie, Fratello! Ve~"

Lovino grunted in response, returning to the tomato sauce he was preparing to go along with the pasta. Once he had finished, just as Feliciano was preparing to cook the noodles, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it, Feli. Keep cooking, okay?"

"Ve~ Okay, Fratello!"

Lovino stormed over to the front door of their home. Wrenching it open, he growled, "What the hell do you want? It's nine o'clock at night!"

In response, the three kids at the door screeched, "Trick-or-treat!"

"What the-"

Back in the kitchen, Feliciano was stirring the pasta, getting it moving a little so it wouldn't burn. Hearing the door slam shut, he decided to ask Lovino a few questions.

"Ve, who was that at the door, Fratello?" Feliciano called. He waited for an answer. Recieving none, he frowned. This was unusual, to say the least.

"Fratello?" he began, walking into the entry hall. "Who was at the..."

Lovino was not in the entry hall. He was gone, for some unexplained reason.

~End Flashback~

"... and that's what happened," Feliciano concluded.

"The attacks just keep piling up... First Mattie, then Kiku, now Romano..." Alfred grumbled. "Makes you wonder, who will be next?"

Beep beep beep...

"Doitsu's calling. I'll connect his call to this one," Italy chirped. "Hang on a sec..."

Beep beep beep... Click.

"Ve~ Hi, Ludwig! What's up?" Feli asked cheerfully. "By the way, Alfred and Kiku are on the line as well, okay?"

"Feli, have you seen Gilbert? I can't find him anywhere," Ludwig asked quickly, sounding worried.

"Wait, so now Prussia-san is missing, too?" Kiku yelped, shocked.

BAM! Betcha weren't expecting that!

Prussia has been captured! ... Or has he?

PRUSSIA TO THE RESCUE... maybe.

New Vote! I'm adding a villian from the nations to Oogie-Boogie's team. Who should I add? Should I use the alter egos of the "good guy" nations (IE CSA!America, Loyalist!America, Samuri!Japan [cuz i totally picture Kiku as more of a Ninja!Japan, hence his awesome reflexes], Nazi!Germany, etc.)? Or should I just send Russia?

Hurry, or I might use BOTH! Which could be bad, considering the fact that the CSA came close to winning the Civil War (they kicked butt in the earlier battles, doncha know)
