Well, this is the official chapter two! I really don't have to say anything right now, but when chapter four comes out, I'll be rambling to no end!

-THE REVELATION-
'Where- Where am I?'
Earth groaned as he picked himself off the cold stone floor. His new olive green jacket and red scarf were in tatters. His normally bright blue eyes were dulled as he looked around the room he was being kept in. It was a prison cell, complete with spider webs and metal bars. The stones were hazardously cemented together to make a wall and the metal bars were quivering with what Earth guessed was electricity.
Earth scratched his head as he tried to remember what had happened to him. He had been at home, going through old boxes with a lot of old stuff in them. He had knocked a box down and saw-
Earth's eyes drooped when he remembered what had happened. What he had tried to forget but was never able to.

Earth carefully pulled out a vase that had come from the 16th century and awed at the sight.
"Ah, I forgot about this! I had gotten it as a gift from one of the British lords!" he chirped to himself.
He pulled out something else from the box, which was a copy of the Constitution of the United States. He smiled at it.
"One of the presidents gave this to me. I don't remember why, though."
He continued to rummage through the box before sitting up straight from leaning over to take out everything and arranging them. In the process, one of his elbows accidentally knocked down a box that was stacked a top another. He gasped in shock before leaning over to see what had dropped. Earth's eyes widened.
"Maman, play with me!"
"Okaa- san, sushi?"
"Mummy!"
Earth leaned over and picked up a picture that had fallen down. The box he knocked over was a box full of pictures, pictures of all of his children. Some looked extremely ancient looking and others just black and white. Only some were colored pictures.
The picture was one with his eldest son, the personification of China, Wang Yao. Yao was only a little toddler at that time and this picture was made by Saturn. It was a real- life picture with Earth and Yao on his lap. The little brunette looked so happy, his brown- black hair tied into a ponytail while his amber brown eyes sparkled with happiness. His outfit looked was too big for him so his hands went into the red sleeves.
Yao was Mercury's favorite, both of them acted so alike. Yao loved to spend his time with Mercury as much as with his own mother and Mercury returned the affection. Yao was the one Earth spent most of his time with, since that time he didn't know he had to give up the countries.
All the planets had their favorites, heck even Sol had a favorite. Mercury's was Yao, Venus loved Arthur, Mars's was Alfred, the American personification, and Jupiter's was Ivan, the personification of Russia. The others weren't so open to affection but Earth could tell they had favorites. Saturn's was Kiku, the quiet boy that represented Japan. Uranus liked staying around Lukas, the Norwegian representation. Neptune mostly took care of Emil, Lukas's little Icelandic brother. Little Pluto loved Matthew, Alfred's little Canadian brother. Sol sincerely cared for Francis, the personification of France.
When all of them had to leave, they were devastated.
Earth cringed. He was traveling through memories again and he would never finish cleaning out his closet. He wasn't aware of the footsteps that were approaching him.
"You're diving through your memories again Earth. Bad little boy."
A figure said. Earth snapped his head up but before he could register who it was, an object hit him square on the head and he fell unconscious. The last voices he heard was the shouts and screams of his star and moon.

Along with the rush of memories came with a rush of tears. Earth cried, he cried for anyone and he cried for the ones he had lost.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry I had to leave you! Wish I could have watched all of you grow up, into strog men and women but I couldn't! I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
And Earth fell to the ground, wallowing in his tears.

Wang Yao heard something.
A very familiar voice was crying into the sky. He raised an eyebrow and his memories shook. The sound of his mother's voice echo through his brain. Yao thought he was the only who remembered who their mother was. He was the oldest, even with the burden of being the one who lived the longest, he still remembered the tone of his mother's voice. When he heard the crying, he immediately be alarmed and stalked to out to find the person he knew, the person he knew that knew his mother.
His home continent, Asia.

Arthur was at a loss of words. The woman in front of him claimed that she was the Milky Way. Being the magic fueled country that he was, he should have believed right from the get go, but he logic was getting the better of him.
"How? That isn't possible! No one can be the Milky Way!" he shouted in a spout of rage.
The woman raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"Then how are you possible, dear? You had said it yourself, you didn't accept the theory of magically appearing from the air." the woman retorted.
Arthur realized that she had a point and his face burned red. He sputtered incoherently as his face became redder. The woman chuckled.
"You just have to believe, my grandson. If you really want to be proven, ask your familiar." she said.
As Arthur turned back to his natural skin color, he raised an eyebrow.
"My familiar? Do you mean Flying Mint Bunny?" he asked.
As if on cue, Mint Bunny appeared in a shower of sparkles.
"It's terrible! Earth-kun has been kidnapped!" he shouted, his wings fluttering around worriedly.
The woman, which Arthur will have to accept it as the Milky Way, gasped and her eyes widened.
"What? I didn't think he would have made his move so soon!" she exclaimed.
Mint Bunny squeaked in agreement.
"My thoughts exactly, Mistress! I brought Sol and Luna but I don't know where-"
Again, like it was pre- planned, Sol and Luna appeared in a flurry of sparkles. Unfortunately, Arthur was in the middle of this mess.
Arthur was surprised when Sol appeared. It was like staring at a slightly younger but taller version of Francis. They would look exactly the same if the man had sapphire eyes instead of golden topaz and longer, more smooth hair. And a stubble, he couldn't forget that.
The Brit found it odd to look at Luna, since her hair was a shimmering blue. A crescent moon clip was lazily clipped against her bangs.
The Milky Way looked at both of her children, a hurt look in her eyes. Luna looked up at her her mother (or grandmother) with puffy red eyes.
"They took him, Lady Milky Way! They took him from us! Sol and I were just visiting when he took Earth! We couldn't stop him! There was something that wasn't letting us!" Luna exclaimed.
Luna opened her palm and showed Lady Milky Way the small pink flower petal. The elder woman picked it up delicately and carefully placed it in a small oxygen filled ball. She then gave it to Sol instead of Luna. Sol looked at his mother with interest.
"Luna may be closer to Earth than you, but you've known him longer. He is your planet, afterall. Take good care of it." she said.
Sol nodded and placed inside one of his pockets.
"I wasn't able to protect my little brother. What a good star I am," Sol muttered softly, "But, when I find Earth, I will wring the neck of the person who took him."
The last part was muttered darkly and Arthur immediately noted to never trifle with the guy's siblings. He then realized, he didn't even know they were.
"Er, I'm sorry to interrupt, but who are you?" he asked.
Sol and Luna finally acknowledged his presence and almost sent Luna into another wave of tears.
"Is... Is that...?" she asked, not being able to get her words through.
Sol nodded and chuckled.
"He would look like a male Venus, except without the eyebrows and green eyes. Maybe that's why she loved him so much." he said.
To Arthur's confusion, Sol walked up to him and hugged him.
"It's been a long time, Arthur. Your aunt Venus would love to see you now."
After Sol let go and back away, Arthur raised an eyebrow. Sol smiled.
"Oh yeah, you probably don't remember either of us. We're two of your aunts and uncles. I'm the Sun and she's the Moon. We prefer Sol and Luna, though." Sol informed.
Arthur frowned deeply. His logic was getting the better of him again and he really didn't think they were telling the truth. But who knows? Maybe they were; it's not everyday a look alike like Francis and a blue haired girl popped from a shower of sparkles. Then again, they would have to have been thousands of years old but no proper life could have formed during the Big Bang.
The three celestial personifications sensed Arthur's disbelief and began to try to convince him that they were indeed real. Arthur, however, was ignoring them.
To his confusion, Arthur's mind began to think about the things these, so called 'celestial objects' had mentioned. The girl named Luna (Luna could easily be a human name) had said that there was something prevented them from saving this 'Earth'. His mind immediately pointed towards magic. Why? Why was he thinking about this? He didn't know, he just felt the need to help them.
Unbeknownst to him, the other countries did as well.
Francis had stopped making his crepes, Alfred and Kiku had stopped playing Black Ops, Feliciano and Ludwig had stopped training, Lovino and Antonio had stopped picking tomatoes and the list went on. It was as if, all at the same time, they responded to that faint crying from the sky. It was like a cry only the countries could hear.
"To all my children, whom I had abandoned... I'm sorry..."
"Stop."
The Milky Way, Luna, and Sol stopped talking. Arthur looked at them with determined green eyes.
"Although I don't fully trust your story, I am willing to help you." he said.
Luna cried in joy then and pounced on her nephew/ brother.
"Thank you, Arthur!" she exclaimed while she let him go.
Arthur really didn't know why he was doing this, but there was a nagging feeling in the back of his head that convinced him to do it. It was like his duty to do it.
"Yes, I will help you, and-"
He was cut off when his iPhone suddenly started ringing. He pulled it out and saw that it was a text message from Alfred.
-EMERGENCY MEETING 7:00pm ET WEDNESDAY. DON'T BE LATE.-
Arthur snorted when he saw the message since Alfred was always late for meetings, but for Alfred to actually arrange a meeting was once in a blue moon. Alfred had tampered with his iPhone so it always blinked English time then American Eastern time. That day, it was Monday, so there were two days until the meeting. A smug grin crept up on his face as he showed the text to his grandmother, uncle and aunt.
"And, it seems as if I'm not the only one."
