Author's Note: I'm not entirely sure if such a war would be plausible, but some of the countries that could have been attacked are not in Hetalia, or are really minor characters, so just assume that they were randomly spared.

Chapter 5:

Even a white lily can cast a black shadow

Austria dragged her, kicking and screaming, into the meeting room. Or at least he tried to. She was too strong, so Switzerland had to come help. But even his guns were not enough to frighten her into submission. It took him and Germany both just to pin her to the ground. But they were finally able to get her secured in the meeting room.

Her eyes blazed at them all. She glared at Austria, then Germany, then Switzerland.

The first would not meet her eyes, gazing solemnly at the floor. The second regarded her with his normal cool expression. However, Switzerland's calm facade had broken ages ago. The neutral country's expression was furious.

Well, she supposed he had every right to be furious. They all did. First, Switzerland had lost his beloved sister and was forced to be alone. Then the recession hit, putting them all in a tight situation. And to top it all off, she had mercilessly, thoughtlessly invaded, annexing Austria and attacking Switzerland, Germany, and Ukraine.

And look how that had turned out. Here she was, tied to a chair, helpless in the proceedings that would determine her fate.

Hungary had made a lot of mistakes. And now she would have to pay.

Germany sighed. They had gotten nowhere with this meeting. All of them wanted different things, and none of them would compromise. It had been over 3 hours, and even Hungary was exasperated.

Ukraine wanted Hungary to pay war fines and, seeing that their countries were adjacent, sign over some land.

Switzerland just wanted to be compensated for all he had lost defending himself.

Germany wanted Hungary to be divided into many smaller areas, much as he himself had once been divided, to weaken her so she could not cause trouble again.

But Austria was the worst. He pushed mercilessly for Hungary to become his, for her to become a servant, no, a slave to him. He had been treated horribly, and was out for revenge. He wanted Hungary to feel the pain that he felt, to experience the betrayal he had experienced, to flounder in the despair that was so often his companion in those last few years.

The arguments against him were fierce. They wanted Hungary to pay, but were not going to force her to be a slave for Austria.

Finally, Germany could not stand it anymore.

"Everybody SHUT UP! We all agree that Hungary must be punished, ja?"

The nations all nodded.

"Then... the most merciful thing to do would be to dissolve her country, ja?"

No one moved. Germany took a deep breath and continued. "If we left her to Austria, she would suffer a lot. But if we just dissolved her, Austria could have most of her land, Ukraine would get the rest, and Switzerland and I could get our money for the war. And Hungary would not suffer."

Switzerland nodded. "It would be the most peaceful way to solve this problem. Not to mention the quickest."

Ukraine agreed. "I would not want to lose Hungary, but we cannot afford to argue over this much longer, or another war would start."

They all turned to Austria.

Austria muttered under his breath for a moment, then reluctantly agreed. "Ja, that is the best option."

They quickly drew up some papers and signed them.

"Hungary, as of this moment, you are officially dissolved."

Hungary felt pain rip through her body, and she cried out. Her people, her land, she could feel it all transferred to Austria and Ukraine, the latter of which rushed over to support her as she sagged against her bonds.

"Elizaveta? Oh, I'm so sorry, I would not have agreed to this had I known it would hurt you so..."

Hungary gave a pained smile. "It's OK, I deserve it... Keep Austria from getting too snobby for me, please?"

Ukraine nodded, tears on her face as she watched the friend she had condemned die.

Hungary gave a last little sigh of relief, and was gone.

Hungary - dissolved - gone

Author's Note: That was rather fast, wasn't it...

Anywho, if you haven't figured it out yet, all the chapter titles come from the character songs. Chapters 1 and 2 both came from Prussia's "My awesome song that was written by me, for me", Chapter 3 came from Romano's "Delicious Tomato Song", Chapter 4 came from Liechtenstein's version of "Marukaite Chikyuu", and this one came from Hungary's version of "Hattafutte Parade".
