Chapter 3

Place: Stockholm, Sweden

Berwald was on his way home from the meeting that was held at Denmark's place. When he arrived home, he saw Tino making supper.

"Welcome back, Su-san!" Tino said, greeting him cheerfully, "did you buy the things that I needed?"

Berwald nodded and set down a bag of groceries on the table. "..." He walked back outside and looked at the gray covered sky.

"Looks l'ke 't w'll snow ton'ght" He said to himself and sighed. "Hope the All'es d'n't st'rt 'ttack'ng r'ght 'way..."

Place: Border Checkpoint of Russia and Finland

Ivan was walking through the white field of snow, carrying his pipe in his right hand. He walked all the way until he reached the border checkpoint area. He stopped and called Arthur from his phone. By two rings, he picked up.

"Are you ready, Arthur?" Ivan asked, with a faint smile on his face.

"All are set" He replied, "If you need me, just call me. You don't need to say anything, just call"

Ivan chuckled. "I'm not weak, I can handle him myself, just like during that war"

"If you say so" He said, sighing "still, we're allies, I'm supposed to be at your aid"

"I know, I know" He replied, getting a bit annoyed and bored. "Anyway, go for it"

"Alright, watch yourself out there, Russia" he hung up the phone.

Place: Stockholm, Sweden

Berwald and Tino were having dinner like normal. They watched T.V. as they ate. Berwald finished eating first and waited for Tino to finish. Then, his phone rang. He stood up and picked up the phone.

"Be r'ght back" He said and answered the phone as he walked out of the house. "Halla?*"

"Sweden!" said a voice, it was Norway.

"Ja?**"

"Go to the border checkpoint of Finland and Russia! No time to explain, hurry!" Norway hung up the phone.

Berwald had a very bad feeling about this, he immediately ran back inside the house and grabbed his coat, hat, and sword. Tino was worried seeing him run all of a sudden.

"What happened?!" He said, getting up.

"Stay h're!" he said before he ran outside.

Place: Border Checkpoint of Finland and Russia

Russia was waiting for Sweden to come. He stood there, silently and started to tap his foot. Looking up, he notices the clouds forming.

"Hmm...it looks like it will snow soon" he said and heard loud footsteps in the distance. "He's here"

Sweden was running through the forest, his heavy breathing could be heard clearly through the silence. He never thought that this war would start immediately. When he reached the checkpoint area, he saw a tall figure standing there. He slowed down his pace and stood before the checkpoint, standing on Finland soil.

"Privet***, Sweden" Russia greeted him with a smile on his face. "Good to see you again, hm?~"

Sweden didn't reply. He observed for any signs of traps or surprise attacks. Russia seemed to notice his behavior.

"Don't worry, Sweden" he said, "there is nothing to be worried about, it's just you and me"

He didn't want to believe the Russian's words, but he didn't find anything suspicious around the area. He started to walk, but stopped. He realized that getting out of Finland soil means no turning back.

"Hm?" said Russia, almost teasing, "What's wrong? running away?"

Running away is the last thing Sweden would want to and think about. That would make him a laughing stock, especially Denmark. Calling for backup would create more bloodshed, so that's out of question. Last thing left to choose, and it wasn't the greatest choice, especially when dealt with Russia.

"Russland****" He said and drew out his sword.

"Hmm...reminds me of the good old days, huh Sweden?" He said with a creepy sadistic smile. "I wonder how this will end~"

Sweden was about to snap. Bringing up the Russo-Swedish War***** made him shiver. He couldn't protect Finland at that time, Russia took him away. Now this would be the chance to get what he deserved those years ago.

They charged at each other

-World War III begins

-Russia and Sweden at war

*Halla - Hello in Swedish

**Ja - Yes in Swedish(in this situation)

***Privet - Hello in Russian

****Russland - Another name for the country Russia, also the original name before renamed to Russia

*****Russo-Swedish War - War between Russia and Sweden. Sweden won the war. In this case though, Sweden and Russia are mostly focused on the Finnish War that was part of the Russo-Swedish War.
