England continued to summon more thunders and other elements to fight against Russia and America.
This time, America bravely tried to shoot England. But he also tried not to deal a great damage to England, because it's also a hero's duty to assure the safety of people who needed his help.
However, no matter how much America shot England, the latter always had a magic barrier surrounded him, blocking all the bullets.
During that fight, Russia felt something was off. Then he stopped attacking England.
America noticed that, however, he didn't bother to stop attacking.
Something's weird... Why did England take his sword out of the sheath, but didn't use it? He kept attacking us with his black magic.
America continued on shooting England, even though it's useless since the latter created magic barrier that protected him. After attacking from every side and evading at the same time, America landed on the ground.
"C'mon! He's just keeping on using that barrier!"
"England... Why did you keep using magic? Why don't you use your sword?" Russia asked England quite coldly.
"...! Ugh..." England's face suddenly went bitter and looked away.
...
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
...
Seeing this chance, America quickly saw an opening and dashed towards England. The latter wasn't able to response well due to Russia's doing.
The glass-wearing nation used his arm to deal a damage towards England. The latter managed to defend himself using the magic barrier.
However, America kept adding power towards his attack. Because of his superhuman strength, he managed to break through England's magic barrier.
The eyebrow nation was pushed backwards because of the impact, and America landed on the floor, while breathing hard, since he had to use up all his powers to break through the barrier.
Even though England was pretty much cornered, he still didn't use his sword. Then, out of nowhere, Russia smiled a bit. "Hey, England~. Could it be that something happen to you when you used that sword beforehand?"
Hearing this, England couldn't help but to reminisce about what happened.
America got back on his feet, and he too, heard what Russia said. Then, his face showed that he realized something.
"England... Don't tell me that the reason that you don't want to use the sword is because of that last battle..."
England only looked away.
"This sword has seen too much blood already. I don't intend to stain it with more blood." He tried to regain his composure. He tried to conceal his expression,
You don't want to use that sword again because what happened to me... Huh... That's like you, I guess.
America knew that England didn't want to hurt him anymore than what happened when he stabbed his stomach and almost brought him to his death.
Huh... Then, you're still the same England after all!
Suddenly, America put up a happy face, and started to battle England again. This time, Russia followed him behind.
...

...
Sebastian and Jack continued to fight against each other. However, it's the same as their last battle. Both of them didn't deal any single damage, and they kept blocking each attacks.
The butler took out dining knives from his chest pocket and quickly threw them out towards Jack. The latter was able to block them all. However, when he was busy blocking them, Sebastian was nowhere near him, as if he disappeared into thin air.
He landed from the aerial battle and looked around. However, he only saw Ciel in front of him and the other people who were fighting too.
"Looking for me?"
When Jack heard that, he quickly turned back, and suddenly, Sebastian kicked him to the ground, and locked his movements.
"So, give up yet?"
"Hmph. I only came here to do what I came to do."
Jack stretched his right arm and opened his palm. Sebastian and Ciel noticed it, but they had no idea what he's trying to do.
Then, he clenched his fist tightly. A few seconds later, there was a creaking noise. That noise attracted the people in the room.
Suddenly, the grand altar that was in the middle end of the building, crushed and destroyed to pieces.
Everyone in there was surprised. What is Jack's plan?
The remains of the destruction slowly vanished and disappeared into small, shining particles and dissolved into the darkness of the night.
After a silence for a while, suddenly Jack laughed hysterically.
At that time, no one knew why he laughed like that.
Then, he used his legs to kick off Sebastian, even though the latter was able to evade it and land safely on the ground.
Jack stood up slowly while still holding his face. He showed an eerie expression as he laughed with a soft voice.
"Alright. I finished what I came here to do."
"What? You came here to destroy that altar?" Ciel demanded an explanation to Jack.
"Yup. That's all."
"What are you planning?"
"Hmm... I don't see a reason to tell you. You'll know eventually anyway. It's just that... that altar has finished its job, and I no longer needed it."
"No longer needed it?"
"Well, I'm outta here. See you guys later!"
...
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
...
Then, Jack disappeared into thin air. The fake Japan also disappeared as well. England sheathed his sword, and he too, disappeared as well.
The rest of the people who were still left there, couldn't really comprehend what just happened.
"Well, they got away." Russia calmly stated his point.
Japan sheathed his sword too, which had some blood in it. It seemed he was injured in a few places.
"Now, Ciel. What should we do now?"
"It's almost midnight. Let's go back. We'll discuss our next move at the morning. I'm pretty tired today."
Everyone went to leave the building. With the altar destroyed, there's no meaning to continue investigating that place. They also weren't sure about England's attitude.
America was the last one to leave the building. He stuffed his hands into his leather jacket's pocket.
When he walked outside, he noticed something inside his pocket. He took it out, and it turned out to be a piece of paper. He was interested, and thus opened that paper. When he read the contents, he showed a confused face.
...
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
...
The next day's afternoon...
Around 2 p.m
...
"So, you came after all..."
"Yeah. You were the one who called me here, right? England?"
"Sorry to call you here so soon, America. But I don't have much time. Jack might take control of me anytime soon."
"Hahaha! I knew it! You don't betray us after all!"
"Duh! If I did, then the Queen will have my head by tomorrow!"
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"It's this..."
England told America what happened to him. The 'Link' he had with Jack, which enabled England to be mind-controlled by Jack.
"Hmm... This is getting a little bit complicated... Can you summarize them?"
"I knew I shouldn't call you."
...
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Let's go back a few hours, when it's still morning.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
...
"A message?"
"Yeah! I bet England gave this to me when I was breaking through the magic barrier he had!"
Japan was quite confused on what America was saying. Well, he was fighting with his doppelganger at that time, so maybe he didn't know.
"Hmm~ From England, huh?" Russia said in a playful tone.
Ciel took the paper from America and he read the contents. It's said:
Meet me at London, at the place where we first met.
"'When we first met'? What does that mean?"
"It might be the place where we met each other the first time in London! I'm sure of it!"
"Oh, when you were captured by Sebastian because you acted suspiciously?"
"Hey, don't say suspicious! A hero has to be unpredictable! Hahaha!"
"Though, if England gave you this, then it must be important." Ciel commented. "He went through the trouble to write this, despite the risks he had."
"Hmm... I don't know. Maybe this is a trap?" Japan was not convinced.
"Then, America. You go to this place when we monitored you from somewhere far away." Ciel stated his decision.
"Ehh!? Why does it have to be me!?"
"You're the one who received the letter. If it's me or any other ones, then England won't be convinced."
"Well, there's a point to that..."
"C'mon, Mr. America. This is a hero's job too, right? I mean you're the one who really did the negotiations."
"Hmm... That's one point! Alright! I'm up for it!"
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Present time...
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
...
"I have another information to give you."
"Oh! What is that!?"
"Stop being so surprised. I'm done for if Jack knew."
"Oh, okay."
"Anyway. It seemed that he destroyed that altar because the souls that he used to create it, interrupted his connection with mine."
"Hmm? How's that?"
"After I investigate for a little while, it looks like Jack used some kind of a radio wave or sound wave in order to do 'Link' with me, or any other."
"So?"
"Those souls in the altar interrupted the waves, so he destroyed it. He only needed it for first-time only."
"Hmm, I see... Then, do you know his master plan?"
"I hate to admit it, but I still don't know. One thing I knew though; it must have something to do of why he chose to Link my mind, and not yours. Physical wise, you're a lot better than me with that superhuman strength, and nation wise, you're the one with much more influence in the world than me."
"So, the question is; why did he choose you instead?"
"That's the main point."
Then, suddenly another impact came to England's mind. He clutched his head a little.
"Bloody hell... He's here already! America! Get away from here and tell all that information to the others!"
"You better be okay!"
America ran to the others, however, suddenly someone landed in front of him and it's the fake Japan. He turned back, and what he saw, was Jack standing behind England.
"Now then, I guess you have been bad, huh? England?"
England looked bitterly towards Jack, who showed his sinister face.
"I'm not in a fighting mood today. I guess I'll just leave you alone. Let's go, shall we?"
Before America could shoot with his handguns, the three people disappeared already and left him alone.
...
"Anyway, I need to let everyone know about this."

Author's note:
Alright, finally chapter 17 is done! *stretched body and doing squats*. What a work. The actual chapter is actually even MORE longer than this, but I decided to divide it into more chapters. I hope I manage to continue with the plot. Do you like it? Well, me too.
Oh, I forget to tell you this: From now on, I might be able to update new chapters at Saturdays on Sundays (in my time) only. For people in US, it should be around Fridays or so. Lately, I'm full with tests and stuffs. However, during holidays (in my country) I might be able to update it during Monday till Fridays too.
Keep on supporting till the end, please! *went to check the reviews.*.
