Author's Note: Hi, everyone, Hokuto here! Uh, this chapter's going to be another trip backwards in time, back to the time Gilbo, Lui, and their family were hijacked to Cuba.

Oh, and some other APH characters are going to appear in this chapter: England, America, Canada, Taiwan, Seychelles, and Belgium!

Enjoy.

Chapter 12: Escape from Cuba

'Great,' Roderich thought as he leaned his head back on his seat. 'How can things get any worse?'

Hours later, Flight 382 landed in Cuba, and the frightened and confused passengers were forced out of the plane.

"Alright!" shouted one of the hijackers. "Everybody get over there!" He pointed to a warehouse and herded everyone inside.

"Hey, there's two missing," said another guy. "The kid with the weird eyes and his brother." He meant Gilbert and Ludwig, of course; unknown to anyone else, the kids had quietly run away from the group.

"I'll go get 'em," said the third hijacker, and left the warehouse after the boys.

"C'mon, West, hurry up!" Gilbert shouted as he and Ludwig ran behind buildings, careful not to let anyone see them.

"I'm trying, Gilbo," Ludwig whined. "Wait for meeee!"

Just then, the brothers stopped in front of a fence.

"Fuck," Gilbert said under his breath.

"Waaahhhhhh!" Ludwig cried. "We're gonna get caught!"

"Don't worry; maybe we can climb up this thing and…" Gilbert said, but was cut off when the third hijacker caught up to them.

"There you are," the man said. He then picked up Gilbert and Ludwig and walked back to the warehouse.

"Put us down!" Gilbert yelled.

"Let us go, you meanie!" Ludwig said.

"Thank God Gilbo and Lui escaped," Claus said with relief.

Roderich pulled a record player and a classical music record out of nowhere and started to listen to it, when the first hijacker walked over to him and picked the record player up.

"No listening to music in here!" the man said irritably and threw the record player down on the floor, smashing both it and the record on it.

"Hey!" Roderich said in a whiny voice like one character on "Johnny Bravo." "I was listening to that, you…you bad person!"

"Oh yeah, that'll make him feel bad," another passenger said sarcastically.

"Maybe the boys can-" Germania said, but was interrupted when the door to the warehouse opened and the third hijacker walked in, carrying Gilbert and Ludwig with him.

'Shit, they got caught,' Germania thought.

"My babies!" Elise said as the man threw her sons on the floor and they ran over to her and the rest of the family.

"Mommy, I'm scared," Ludwig said to his mother.

"It's okay, Lui," said Elise. "I won't let those guys hurt you."

"I wanna go home!" Gilbert said and cried.

"Alright, everybody shut up!" the first hijacker shouted as the other two men set up a video camera and put it on a tripod, pointing it at the scared passengers.

"The camera's ready," said one of the other two hijackers.

"Good," said the first hijacker. He then said to the group, "Now, everybody put your hands behind your heads! Now!"

Everyone complied and put their hands behind their heads. Well, everyone except for Gilbert, of course.

"Gilbert, get back here!" Claus said.

"Hey, kid," said one of the men, "do as we say and put your hands behind your head!"

"No way, meanies!" Gilbert said, and kicked the man who yelled at him in the shin.

"You little-" the man who Gilbert kicked said angrily. He picked Gilbert up by the front of his shirt and said, "Get back over there and do as we say!" He then threw the boy back into the crowd. Gilbert ran back to the rest of the family and finally complied.

One of the hijackers then turned on the camera and got out of the way, revealing the hostages sitting against a wall with their hands behind their heads.

Another of the hijackers then got in front of the camera and started talking.

"Attention, United States government!" said the man in front of the camera. "We are the gang Shadowlaw!"

"Oh no, not these guys again," Elise spoke up.

"Yes, it's us again, Ellie," said the man speaking to the camera.

"Shit," said Elise.

Elizabeta was sitting at home, watching TV while she babysat her 9-year-old younger brother, Jacob, when her brother's favorite program was interrupted by the news.

"Aw, Lizzie, I wanna watch Dragonball Z, not the boring news," Jacob whined, looking up at his big sister.

"Be quiet, Jake," said Elizabeta.

"Breaking news," said the announcer. "Flight 382, which was headed from New York to Munich, was hijacked to Cuba."

'Flight…382...?' Elizabeta thought.

"Hey, Lizzie," Jacob said, "isn't Flight 382 your lame boyfriend's flight?"

"Jake, shut up," said Elizabeta as she listened intently to the news report.

"The hijackers are making their demands now," the reporter announced.

The station then switched from the announcer to the hijackers' video.

"Our demands are simple," said the man in front of the camera. "All we ask is for our leader, Bison, to be released from prison."

'Please be okay, Roddykins, please be okay,' Elizabeta thought, crossing her fingers.

"Those guys scare me, Lizzie," Jacob said, turning to his sister with big, sad eyes.

"Don't worry, Jake, they can't hurt you," said Elizabeta.

"Wait!" said Claus. "You said that the government screwed you guys over! You-" He was interrupted by the man in front of the camera.

"Hey, that's your boyfriend's uncle," said Jacob.

Elizabeta was nervously taking a sip of her MUG root beer as she looked at the footage.

"Shut the hell up!" said one of the other hijackers.

The man in front of the camera moved slightly, revealing more of the passengers, including the rest of the Beilschmidt family.

"Hey, Lizzie, I see your boyfriend there," Jacob said and pointed at the TV.

Elizabeta saw where Jacob was pointing and nearly choked on her soda.

"We'll give the government 24 hours to comply," said the man at the camera. "If Bison is not released by tomorrow, then we'll kill all these people, one by one, starting with the kids."

The other two hijackers then went over to the crowd, picked Gilbert, Ludwig, and six other kids (three boys and three girls) up off the floor, and brought them closer to the camera.

"Oh, fuck!" Elizabeta cried. "Not the kids!"

"Put me down!" one of the kids yelled. "I'll beat you up, 'cause I'm the hero!" The boy had blond hair with one strand sticking out and blue eyes, and wore a T-shirt with the American flag on the front.

"Hey, shut up, hero boy," said the man holding him; he was also holding another boy identical to the one with the hero complex, only this one had purple eyes, wore a red hoodie, and was holding a polar bear cub.

"You bloody wankers!" said a teenage boy who had bushy eyebrows, blond hair, and green eyes, and was wearing a Harry Potter shirt. "Leave Alfred and Matthew alone."

"Arthur, this guy's a meanie," said the boy named Alfred.

"Hey, maybe we should shave this one's eyebrows," said the third hijacker.

"No, not my eyebrows!" said Arthur, who was now covering his eyebrows.

After making the demands, the hijackers turned the camera off and spoke to the now scared and angry crowd.

"Stay where you are, or else these kids are gonna die," said one of the men, and pulled a gun on a little girl with black hair in pigtails and brown eyes and was wearing a blue dress.

"Put me down!" the girl in the blue dress said.

"You meanie!" said another one of the kids, an 11-year-old girl with blond hair in a headband, who wore jeans and a T-shirt.

Another girl with long, brown hair with a wild strand sticking out and brown eyes, who was wearing a jumper and white T-shirt, ran up to the men and tried using various styles of martial arts on them, but was picked up by one of them and thrown right at Roderich, knocking the poor guy's glasses off.

"My glasses!" Roderich said.

"Sorry," said the girl, and got off him while Roderich searched for the glasses.

"Let the kids go!" Claus yelled and punched one of the hijackers in the face.

"Ow!" said the man. "You-!" He then punched Claus back, and the two got into a fist fight.

The two other hijackers were busy holding Arthur down, trying to shave his eyebrows.

"Get off our big brother!" Alfred and Matthew said at the same time as the polar bear cub roared angrily.

"Shut up, little brats," said one of the hijackers, advancing towards the twins.

"I don't care about my eyebrows anymore!" Arthur shouted. "Just leave my baby brothers alone, you wankers!"

"Hey!" Gilbert shouted and got the hijackers' attention. "Leave them alone!"

"Yeah, you meanies!" Ludwig said. He then ran over to the men and kicked them both continuously, while Gilbert tackled one of them from behind.

"Hey, get off!" the man whom Gilbert tackled said.

"West, help me here!" Gilbert said.

"Coming, big brother!" said Ludwig, and ran over and helped Gilbert hold the man down.

Alfred, Matthew, and the three girls (named Isabelle, Mei, and Angelique), along with Matthew's bear, then tackled the man holding Arthur down. Arthur was able to get up and help hold the man down on the floor.

"Quick, everyone!" Alfred shouted. "Get outta here, I'm the hero!"

Everyone, except for the rest of the Beilschmidt family and the other kids' parents, ran out of the warehouse.

"Dammit!" yelled one of the men on the ground. "We got thwarted by a bunch of kids!"

"Come on, let's go!" Claus shouted as he and Elise picked up Gilbert and Ludwig and, along with Germania and Roderich, rushed everyone who remained out of the building and back onto the plane.

On the plane, Alfred climbed into the pilot's seat (the pilot was passed out from all the excitement) and was about to fly the plane, when his father took him out of the seat.

"Aw, Daddy, I wanna fly the plane," Alfred whined as his father took him back to the passengers' seats.

Germania got into the pilot seat, started the plane, and flew it back to the United States.

"Well," said Elise, "so much for our trip to Munich this month, huh?"

"Yeah," Claus said, a little disappointed.

"Aw, I wanted to go," Gilbert whined as Ludwig fell asleep on top of him as if he was a pillow.

"Why does this always happen whenever we fly?" Roderich asked no one in particular.

"Probably because you're such a priss," Gilbert said and laughed right after.

"That was a rhetorical question, you moron!" Roderich said and tried to strangle Gilbert. Gilbert leaped out of the way, which woke poor Ludwig up out of his sleep.

"You meanies!" Ludwig yelled at his brother and cousin.

"Boys, stop it, please," said Elise as she tried, but failed, to catch Gilbert.

"Guys, cut it out right now," Claus said in a stern voice.

The plane rocked back and forth in the sky as Roderich and Gilbert fought.

Germania came out of the cockpit and said, "Will you guys cut it out? We're gonna crash if you keep doing that."

"Grandpa, who's flying the plane?" Ludwig asked.

"Scheiße!" Germania said, and got back to flying the plane.

Author's Note: Scheiße is pronounced "scheisse".

Oh, and I got Shadowlaw from Street Fighter just for the chapter.

P.S.: Isabelle=Seychelles; Angelique=Belgium; Mei=Taiwan.
