. . .two months before the beginning of World War III. . .

It had been Canada's idea to go and establish allies. I was seriously hurt now and there was talk of war at every country meeting. We headed to Europe to make allies with some of the stronger countries.

A long time ago Canada and I weren't very close at all but over the years we had grown on each other and acted more and more like the identical twins we were. My land was gradually being destroyed and I was getting weaker and weaker with each coming day. My brother was really concerned for me and offered to establish allies for me while I rested and attempted to regain my health. I insisted on coming with him because I wasn't the kind of person to let someone else do something for me that I was capable of doing.

We arrived in Europe undetected and camped out in a thick jungle to keep it that way. Canada wouldn't let me keep watch because of my condition so I sent a few of my men and his men to do it for me.

I laid down to rest in my tent and dozed off. A few hours later I awoke and immediately sensed something was wrong. Summing up the energy I needed I exited the tent and stood up straight to see what was happening. It was at that moment that I noticed that there was a pistol pointed directly at my head.

I looked up to see the cold, silvery blue eyes of the man that many described as violent and terrifying. I glared at him with rage, angry at him for invading my camp.

"Where is my brother?" I growled through gritted teeth. It wasn't above him to take countries hostage in order to get what he wanted. At first he seemed to be a pretty cool guy but he eventually turned into something sinister.

"Ah, your brother, what was his name again? Canada? I will let him go if you get lost. You two have no business being in Europe" He smiled slyly. "Und if you come back here I will personally make sure that you never see the light of day again."

"Screw off, Germany. Let us go, we just wanted to make allies." He looked at me strangely.

"Und for what exactly may I ask?"

"World War III is gonna happen soon, I can feel it. We need allies to fight our enemies." Germany stared at me for a second and then motioned toward a nearby group of soldiers. Two emerged that I recognized instantly. The axis powers were back together again. They approached us and I noticed that Japan seemed to be trying to comfort Italy, whose usually cheerful face looked as if he had been crying recently.

"In that case we and our other allies will join you, for Italy." Germany replied. He lowered the gun and turned to one of his soldiers that was standing by him. "Release the country and notify Russia, France, and England that they are now officially allied with America and Canada." Wow, that was too easy. Six allies in one trip was almost too good to be true.

All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my side and collapsed, writhing around on the ground. I groaned as Canada came seemingly out of nowhere and rushed to my aid. It was getting hard to breath because I was in so much pain.

"Wha-what is it?" he sputtered. I groaned again. The pain in my side was getting worse.

"Feels. . .like. . .another. . .missile." I replied, barely able to talk. I blacked out. The last thing I saw was my twin's eyes, producing tears at a very fast rate.
