I am now twisting the story around a bit. I own none of the anime characters except for my OC's. Enjoy the story!

~~~~Miko's group~~~~

Just when they were making their way over to the source of the screams, they were stopped by a familiar face.

"Iraq." Iran said angrily "What are you doing here?"

Iraq didn't answer. Just when Iran was trying to figure out what was up with him; Iraq charged at her and punched her in her gut. She fell to her knees and wrapped her arms around her stomach.

Miko threw a kunai at Iraq but he got out of the way.

"Are you trying to kill him!? Even though I may not like him very much, he is still my cousin!" Iran yelled at Miko.

"Then why is he attacking us?" Miko said.

"Something's wrong. He's never gets this aggressive, well not so suddenly like this." Iran said getting up.

Then Iraq just stood in front of them for a moment. They all watched him closely. Suddenly, the shadow that he casted turned into long spears and shot out at them.

"HUH!?"

The group dogged the spears, they all stood in uncomfortable and awkward positions just o avoid being skewered. After a second or two, the spears returned to Iraq's shadow.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Malaysia said in shock.

"How did he do that?" Russia asked.

"I have no idea." Iran said.

The shadow spears formed again and shot out.

"RUN!" Miko yelled.

The group turned around and ran. Iraq ran after them.

"What are we gonna do? We can't fight shadows, we don't even have weapons!" Malaysia said in panic while running.

"It would be a great time to have Ed or one of the alchemists around!" Iran said.

"At least those shadow spears are gone for now!" Miko said as they rounded a corner.

They stopped for a moment to catch their breaths. Miko pointed the light towards the corner, then Iraq came around and the shadow spears shot out again. They leaned on the walls to avoid them and when the spears went back to the shadows, they made another run for it.

"If this keeps up, those shadows are gonna kill us." Miko said.

"AH!" Iran yelped.

Miko pointed the flashlight at her.

"Sorry, I tripped." she said as she started to get back up but something refrained her from doing so. "Something's got my ankle."

Miko pointed the flash at her ankle to see a shadowy tentacle wrapped around it. The shadowy tentacle then started to drag her towards Iraq. Miko, accidentally and unknowingly, turned off the flashlight.

Iran then stopped and she wasn't being held or dragged by the shadow anymore.

"What happened?" Iran asked as she got up and made her way back to the rest of her group.

"Sorry, I accidently turned off the light." Miko said turning it back on the flashlight.

The shadow spears came back and the group made another run for it.

"Those shadows just keep coming back!" Miko said.

"Wait, that's it!" Iran said leading the others around another corner and into a quite spacious closet and locked the door. "Quick, turn off the lights."

"Why?" Miko asked.

Then a shadow spear cut through the door, grazing Miko a bit.

"Just do it if you want to live!" Iran said.

Miko turned the flashlight off and the spear disappeared into the darkness. Then everything was quiet.

"Now I get it. How did I not see this before?" Hong Kong said.

"Huh?" Miko said in confusion.

"He can't use his shadows in complete darkness." Iran said as-a-mater-of-factually.

"That's right. Since you need light to cast shadows, if you take the light away…" Russia started.

"Then you will no longer be able to cast shadows. That's right! How could I be so stupid!?" Miko said hitting himself in the head with the flashlight.

"Well, I don't have a solution to answer that, but I do have a soulutin as in to how we can stop Iraq's shadowy rampage." Iran said as she began to explain her plan.

After she explained her plan to the others, they got ready to put it into action.

Iran stepped out of the closet with Russia and turned the flashlight on. She pointed the light down the hallway and waited for a few seconds until they could see the shadow spears and Iraq coming at them. When Iraq got close enough, Iran switched off the flashlight and Russia hit him in the back of the head with his pipe. Iraq then fell to the floor KO. Iran turned the flashlight back on and the others came out of the closet.

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Miko asked.

"No, I held back." Russia said.

"Besides, Iraq is quite hard headed enough to survive that." Iran said.

"Since shadows are nonliving things, they cant move on their own unless the owner moves. And since Iraq is out, we wont have to worry about the shadows coming at us." Malaysia said.

Suddenly, Iraq got up and a shadow spear got Iran in her left sholder. Iran dropped the flashlight and the light went out. Miko picked up the flashlight and turned it on, Iraq had ran away while he was hidden by the shadows.

"Iran, are you alright?" Russia asked helping her.

"I'm ok. Damn, there is something wrong with Iraq." Iran said.

"Is something controlling him?" Miko said.

"There's something bad happening." Hong Kong said.

"But what is the cause of it?"

~~~~~~Emi's group~~~~~~

The four countries ran down the hallways to find Emi who ran off to find her brother. A few minutes later, they heard the sound of clashing metal and hurried over to see what was happening. Once they turned a corner, they saw what was making the noise. It was Emi fighting with another person, and they were all shocked once they got a good look of the person she was fighting.

"Is that Edward?"
