Bushfires... Why?!
I just wanna study and finish all of your lovely requests in peace... I'm sorry, I'm just a tad peeved off at the massive out of control bush fire that is really close to my place ... and waiting for the call to evac if it all goes to hell. But enough of me rambling you're here for the one-shots so I shall continue :D
Ayumi Kudou - Aww! Thanks! and you don't have to wait any longer, my dear comrade for it is finally here!
Random Person - Yes! The FLUFF POWA! XD I'm really happy to hear that you liked them! and that's fair enough :D Everyone has their opinions! It's what makes everyone unique :D (I would hate for the world to be so mundane if unique people didn't exist) and when I meant Damsel, I meant it like as in, sure she's captured but at the same time she'll take advantage of the situation and cause hell for the antagonist/s but that's how I view a damsel in distress (weak physically but makes up for it by being really smart :P) and yeah XD Germany would be extremely pissed if he had to handle not only Italy but the damsel (The one as you have stereotyped)... you know that would make an interesting parody one-shot hmm...
Mystery Fan - Thanks! I've added the extra stuff in :D this is my longest one-shot yet! YAY!
Green Eyes- Hi there! :D I'm happy to see another awesome reader :D You need not to wait any longer! For it is here! :D

Thank you, now as I was saying, This second part of The Island goes to you, Mystery Fan!
Enjoy!

China's POV
Aiyah! so disrespectful! Don't they know how old I am! Respect your elders as my people always says, aru! But these westerners! He shook his head, continuing to stride alone in the darkness. I shouldn't have shouted at _, she had done nothing to provoke me, aru. I will apologise to her when I get back.
He turned at the sound of a snapping stick.
'_?'
Scanning the dark bushes, he shook his head. Forest creatures. Dwelling further into the forest he started to question his motives at his actions, mirroring the same solution he had done in the past when he decided to help you when you were a newly established country in need of help.
He could have tried to conquer you but he didn't. You were like his sister… yet there was those other times. The times where he wished it was more. He shook his head. Clearly she did not feel the same way, aru.
He stopped. There was someone behind him. _?
'I must apologise for my disrespectful behavior earlier on, aru,' he turned around and froze.
It wasn't _.
Germany smirked. 'That is very thoughtful of you,' Before China could respond in any form of way, he doubled over from the punch. He gasped for air as he received another blow to the head.
He barely had time to look at his attacker putting his gun away when his stomach erupted in reoccurring pain. Why you … He gritted his teeth against the pain.
Germany stopped kicking him. Grasping his limp body, he clasped a cloth from his pocket before tying it around his mouth. China could taste and smell its fresh laundry detergent as he threw China over his shoulder and headed back to camp.
'Ve~! You're-a back!' Italy cried happily, Japan placed his weapon away.
'Guess who I found on the vay back,' He dropped China to the ground. Can't let them keep me here..
Japan seized a rope. 'Excerrent, we have ourserves a prisoner,' China attempted to struggle. Aiyah! Why did I let my guard down! I was already warned about the Axis!
'tsk, you know better than that,' Japan said as he finished tying him up.
Italy frown, 'We're-a not going-a to hurt him right?'
Germany and Japan stared at him, 'But-a they never-a torture me!' Germany shook his head, 'Remember your training, Italy.'
Italy sadly nodded and responded, 'Ve~'
They all looked at the rustling bushes above them, 'The Arries,'
Germany nodded before yelling, 'Allies! Come down here!'
China looked up in panic. No! They mustn't see me like this! … Especially _, I cannot stand to see _ see me like this! Aru!
He watched as they all came down from the cliff side. They all looked puzzled at him, before Germany remarked, 'Ve have been vaiting for you,'
China didn't hear England's reply against his head throbbing, he looked over at _. She returned his gaze.
He inhaled in pain as Japan grasped his hair. Something sharp and cold touched his neck.
_ looked at him in horror before yelling out his name, 'Just leave me here, aru!' He tried to yell.
China waited.
…
Italy flinched. You wanted to throw up. Roughly seized by his torturer, he was not looking too good.
Those sights.
The kind of sights that will forever be etched into your mind.
Tied. Gagged. Roped. China stared back at them.
Dried blood caked the left side of his face.
He pleaded something but the cloth that prevents his speech didn't give heed to what he said.
How could they… composing yourself, you glared at Japan.
Japan watched as Germany spoke.
'I found him voundering around, all alone, isn't that sad? Vhere vas his allies? so ve decided to help him out a little,'
'Let him go!' England spat.
Germany looked at his two companions and shrugged. 'I don't think so, he is our prisoner, and ve can do vhat ve vant…'
You clenched your fists and gritted your teeth. The bastards.
'I suggest you leave… you can't attack us vithout hurting poor China can you?,'
France and the others stared at their adversaries. 'You may win today but we will prevail!' England shouted before leaving.
'Yeah! What he said, the Hero says too!'
'Let's go ma Cherie,' France took your hand. I can't leave him. Looking away from China's sad yet relieved brown eyes, you left with France.
'This isn't over, da?' was all Russia said before following the others.
We will save you.
Just hold on…
…
England paced back and forth, Russia watched the dwindling flames, not even bothering to relight it.
'_?'
France sat next to you as you continued to stare intensely at the starless night. I could have stopped him, why didn't I?
France placed his hand on your shoulder, 'How are you faring, ma Cherie?' you looked at him before smiling, 'I've been better… I'm really worried, we should have attacked them just then,'
He frown, 'But that would put China in more danger, you saw how close that blade was,' you gulped drily. It was true, maybe all these raw and uncontrolled emotions are starting to affect your judgment. You just wanted China back. Badly.
Patting your back he continued, 'we are all worried … come join uz when you are ready, '
You watch him leave your side and join the rest at the campfire.
Turning back to the skies, you sighed.
'Time for operation SAVE CHINA!' America declared.
'You're naming the operation already?!' England cried.
'Ha! You're just jealous that the hero came up with it before you did!'
England rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. 'As if!'
You faintly smile at America, he may be annoying but he sure does have his strong points. Being obnoxiously positive is one of them.
'Any ideas?' you asked, joining them around the fire.
France grinned. 'We could alwayz kill them with rozez,'
'Pah! Like that's going to do any good! Russia?'
They all looked at him. Russia smiled sweetly as his purple aura ascended from him, 'I can think of many things, da?'
You couldn't help but suppress a shudder. France moved closer to England. His aura had that kind of effect on everyone.
'Why don't we surprise them? Ninja style!' you frown.
'Uh… America, you forgot that Ninjas came from Japan,' America slapped you on the back, laughing, 'Oh yeah! Totally forgot about that!'
England sighed, 'Well a surprise attack is a good idea,' America, surprised looked at him, 'but this nonsense about ninja 'style' is bloody ridiculous!'
America pouted, 'But… but Iggy-'
England winced, 'How many times have I told you NOT to call me that! Git!'
'But itz zuch an adorable-'
'You too! FROG!' France flicked his hair and crossed his arms.
Russia smiled to himself as his purple aura was still emitting from him.
You huffed with irritation, 'Are we going to continue to fight each other or save China?'
'Save him of course duh! A hero never says no to a rescue!'
'You're right, we need to get our act together…' England taking a stick started to draw up a plan in the sands.
'Are you sure this would work?' you asked.
'Are you questioning my capabilities?' he retorted, you sigh. I have no time for this, 'No.'
'Good,' He turned to the others, 'Right then …'
...
Germany threw another bunch of sticks into the fire. 'Vell that vas too easy,'
Japan nodded, saying nothing. China would be still glaring at them if Japan hadn't knock him unconscious, 'I cannot arrow him to hear our prans,' he had claimed.
The sound of a massive splash caught their attention. Turning to look at the dark ocean, they approached it cautiously.
The large shape slowly approached them.
'You will become one with Mother Russia, da?' Germany dived out of the way as Russia swung his pipe across the chilly waters. Russia frowned.
Swimming from behind, German jumped onto his back. Russia smiled, 'Ah! There you are! I am sorry but I cannot give you a free piggy ride today,'
Germany's face planted the sand. Cursing in German, he turned to face Russia.
Russia flew back into the water as Germany cracked his neck.
'That is not nice, I just wanted to play with you,' Russia said as he got back up.
'Vell then let us play more!' Germany yelled as his fist flew towards Russia.
…
Italy woke with a start, was that-a Germany yelling?
Looking around, he froze. The Allies were here.
…
You neared China, glancing over at the distracted Axis, she shook China. It was no use he was out cold.
Instantly you flew into the sand. 'Oof!' you glared at him.
Katana in hand, he stared down at you. 'Leave now,'
You swiped at his legs before proceeding to stand up, He'll pay for that. Blade clasping with stick, you deflected each blow before ducking. Just missing the katana.
Bastard is going to pay for what he did to China. You viciously slashed at him as he in turn swiftly strike forwards, leading you back into the sea.
'_!'
You dropped. Grasping your neck, you cursed at your assailant. Damn! I shouldn't have let anger cloud my judgment!
France whipped his rose at Japan's face, surprised he moved back from you.
'The Hero is here for a rematch!' America shot at Japan, katana deflecting the bullets, he advanced towards them.
'We need to leave. Now.' England said as he joined America in the gun and sword fight.
'But China-' England stared at you.
'No arguments!'
France helped you up as Russia came to join you, 'We are retreating, da?'
You swore but let them led you away, America covered their backs, returning Germany's fire.
…
Italy sighed. Sure they were the enemy and he wanted his friends to win this war! But it just didn't seem right to him. He couldn't stand seeing how they had treated China. Looking at his white flag, he sighed.
He could only think of one solution in saving their friend.
But was it a good solution?
'I-a hope they-a have pasta!' he said to himself.
Italy squeaked as a gun was pointed at his direction.
'Explain yourself!'
…
'Did you hear something?' you said.
They stopped. There it was again, the echoing sounds of snapping sticks.
'I-a hope they-a have pasta!' the voice softly proclaimed. Grabbing America's gun you pointed it at Italy.
'Explain yourself!'
Italy was quick to answer, 'Pleasedon't-akillmeIhave-arelativesatyourplaceI-a onlywanttohelpyou!'
'What on earth is he saying?' England muttered, slightly confused.
'Hey! Who said you can take the hero's gun!?'
You frown, 'How can you help?'
That's-a easy! I will-a be your bargaining chip!'
'Hmm… and what do you get in return for this?' England questioned.
'Nothing!' he beamed.
'Then why are you doing this?' France asked.
'I still want my gun back, dude!' America cried despite anyone paying no heed to him.
'Because I-a want to be nice!' Italy replied.
You looked at him, well he has always been a nice guy despite this war going south. I suppose we can trust this guy since he did volunteer.
'Alright,' you handed the gun back to America, 'Let's go back and get China… Russia? Is something wrong?'
They all looked at Russia, who had been quiet the whole time, 'We will have a vodka party after, comrades!'
You smiled, 'That would be nice,' turning to the others you nodded at Italy. 'Lead the way,'
They all walked off as the purple aura emitted from Russia, '… A vodka party where everyone will become one with me, da?'
…
'Japan… isn't it too quiet for you?' Germany said as he cleaned the blood from his jaw.
Japan nodded, 'too quiet…'
They looked at each other. 'Where is Italy?!' 'Vhere's Italy?!'
China tried not to laugh. He recalled Italy telling him his plan before he was knocked out by Japan.
'Ve~!' Italy called.
'ITALY!' Germany yelled. Italy surfaced with the rest of the Allies.
'The Hero and his back up are back!' America announced.
'Looks like we are even,' you said, 'You have our ally and we have yours,'
You smiled as he frowned.
'I suppose a trade vould be appropriate?' Germany stated.
'Why, I was about to say the same thing,'
You couldn't help but enjoy his flinch, 'Italy for China,'
Germany stared at them. Italy waited.
'… Deal,' signaling to Japan, he untied China.
'Oh! My back!' China complained as he walked towards the Allies.
'GERMANY!' Italy cried as he happily clutched onto Germany who sighed in turn.
You smiled as China joined you, 'you alright?'
China nodded, 'Feeling better now, aru.'
The two enemy groups continued to stare at each other, 'What now?' America said.
'Vodka Party,' Russia happily suggested.
'Vodka Party? What have I been missing, aru?!'
Looking back you watched Italy taking up most of Germany's and Japan's attention, 'Let's just leave, we can fight another day.'
The walk into the jungle grew quiet, 'So uh…' You watched America rubbed the back of his neck, 'Sorry for what happen dude… but you'll still make burgers right?' you mentally face palmed, well at least it was sincere.
'Yeah, what he said, I should apologise too… being ungentlemanly and all,'
'Oui! My deepest apologises for our silly charade!'
'I will buy you vodka to make up for it, da?'
China smiled, 'Thank you, Perhaps I should apologise too for my behavior, and also to you too _ for yelling needlessly at you,'
You smiled, 'well I'm sorry too for not interfering sooner,'
Everyone stopped and looked at the rustling bush. An animal?
A young girl with two red ribbons in her pigtails appeared. 'Uh… Hi!'
They let her approach. 'Who are you?' you asked.
'I'm Seychelles and you are on my island,' everyone stared at her.
'You mean to say this place is inhibited?!' England cried.
She nodded before noticing China. 'You look like you could use some help, follow me!'
Shrugging at one another they proceeded after her.
'Stop touching me you Frog!'
'I did not touch you, you prude!'
'Prude?! Why you!'
'Dudes! You're not listening to my plans!'
'You will become one with me, da?'
'Aiyah!'
Looking at them, you smiled a little. Idiots.
I hoped I did the reader and this story justice! let me know what you think!
I have no idea what personality Seychelles has :L also forgive me for having The Axis (Germany and Japan in particular) as the bad guys :P I actually like them equally which is the same story for the rest of the Hetalia cast (yes even the creepy yet beautiful Belarus)
