Chapter 3
"Britain... Britain?"
Said nation groaned as he heard a small voice call his name. His head ached and he longed to sleep more,
"Wake the hell up ya stupid limey!" the now annoyed voice yelled.
Britain moaned and slowly opened his eyes. He felt something on his chest and looked up slightly into the face of a young boy with sapphire eyes who was on all fours on top of him. He only noticed the face for a minute before noticing two small brown wings sprouting out of the boy's back. Britain's eyes widened as he screamed and tried to get up. It looked like he was in a jungle of some kind, but he didn't really have time to think about it.
He was so shaken that he fell to the ground and he backed up against a tree as the winged boy came towards him, "Away foul demon! What do you want with me?" he yelled, but the boy just smiled and started jumping excitedly,
"Don't worry Britain I'm not here to hurt you; I'm here to bond with you!" he said.
"That's exactly what I was afraid of!" Britain yelled as he managed to stand up, but the boy wasn't listening. He looked to be about three or four with dirty blonde hair and wearing a long blue shirt with a red ribbon tied at the collar.
The boy's wings flapped happily as he ran towards the Brit, "This is gonna be so GREAT Britain!" he said happily, "We're gonna go on an ADVENTURE! You and me! Britain and Amerimon!" he said and jumped into the Brit's arms.
Britain held him with his hands keeping the boy at least a half an arm's distance away, "What the bloody hell's an Amerimon?" he asked slowly.
"I'M Amerimon!" the boy said proudly and he took out a small black marble from his pocket. He pressed the top and a data screen appeared in front of the boy's face, "And I have a stat screen! Like, look at those sweet ratings!" he said.
The screen showed a small rotating picture of the boy along with his name, type, and power level (whatever that meant).
Amerimon closed the stat screen, "Do YOU have a stat screen Britain?" he asked.
Britain hesitated, "Uh…no, I don't have-"
"Nope! That's right! You don't! So shut up!" Amerimon said quickly, cutting him off.
Britain frowned, "You're a rude little brat aren't you?" he asked.
"A rude little brat with a STAT SCREEN!" Amerimon shot back, waving his marble. Britain was about to retaliate when a familiar voice called out to him,
"Britain, is that you bastard?"
Britain turned to see Romano emerging from the trees nearby. "Romano, you're here too?" he asked.
"I have a stat screen!" Amerimon said happily,
"Yes, he has a stat screen," Britain sighed hoping it would make the kid shut up.
Romano frowned at the boy, "Not another one," he groaned, "This little bastard's been following me around saying the same damn thing!" he said pointing behind him.
Another boy emerged next to Romano that looked almost the same age as Amerimon. He had brown hair that looked a lot like Romano's with a small curl, only a lighter brown color. He wore a white tunic with white puffy pants and had a white cloak draped around him. But what really scared Britain was the fact that the boy had two small cat ears on his head and a long cat tail coming from his back,
"Amerimon, I found my partner! Isn't he shizzy?" the boy asked with a very high and squeaky voice that you could almost mistake him for a girl.
Britain cried out and dropped Amerimon, "Another one? What the bloody hell are these things!" he cried.
The cat boy stepped in front of Romano, "Hi Amerimon's partner! My name is Itamon, and I'm Romano's new best friend!" he squealed and took out his own marble with his stat screen appearing from it.
Again, a rotating picture of the cat boy was shown along with his name, type, and power level.
"I have really bad feeling about this one," Romano said quietly and Britain nodded.
"So, where exactly are we?" Britain asked looking around the jungle.
"We're in the digital world!" Amerimon answered.
"Where the hell is that?" Romano asked.
"We don't know," Amerimon said shrugging.
Britain looked up at a tall tree in front of them, "Only one way to find out then." He said and started climbing the tree.
As he neared the top he heard Itamon's voice calling out, "No, come back down! You might get hurt!" he blubbered.
"Amerimon, Romano, could you kindly tell Itamon to be quiet?" The fed-up Brit called from the tree.
"Should I show him my stat screen?" Amerimon called.
Britain started to say something but decided against it, "Yes, do that." He said quickly, and all was quiet after that.
Britain pulled out a pair of binoculars and looked around, "That's strange, I don't remember the ocean being near New Mexico; and I'm pretty sure there weren't any mountains nearby." He said aloud as Amerimon climbed up next to him.
"See anything?" he asked.
"Nothing useful," Britain answered, when he heard a roar, "What was that?" he wondered and looked through the binoculars. Unfortunately, most of his vision was being blocked by what looked like a giant black beetle flying through the air,
"I can't see anything with that bloody beetle in the way," he growled. The beetle then began to near the tree, "And now he's getting closer," he sighed in annoyance, "God you wanker, what are you-"
"Look out!" Amerimon cried and yanked the Brit down so he was hanging on the branch by his legs as the beetle flew over them and cut the top of the tree clean off with its pinchers and razor sharp teeth.
Wait…TEETH?
Itamon jumped into Romano's arms and the two held each other as the beetle flew over them,
"Ahhhh! That thing's so big and scary! It's going to eat us! That's a really bad Digitalia, even in its first form!" Itamon wailed as he buried his face in Romano's chest.
Amerimon climbed back up onto the branch as Britain pulled himself up. The boy pulled out his marble and pressed the top again showing another stat screen.
"That's Goliamon! An insect Digitalia!" he announced.
"Does he have any kind of ability we should know about?" Britain asked, catching his breath.
"Killing us until we're dead." Amerimon answered simply.
Goliamon roared as it turned around and headed straight back towards the tree. Britain sat frozen in fear on the branch as the monster flew towards him. Amerimon jumped towards the monster from the branch. He lifted his small arms above his head and threw an orange orb of energy at Goliamon no bigger than an apple. The orb hit causing the beetle to shift just enough for Britain to jump off the tree at the last minute. Amerimon slammed into the beetle's head, taking the blow that was aimed at Britain, and was sent flying.
Britain slammed to the ground and Romano and Itamon ran over to him, "You alright?" Romano asked.
"I've been better," Britain answered and Amerimon fell to the ground, his wings flapping helplessly.
"Lad!" Britain said in alarm and walked over to him, "Are you alright?" he asked as he carefully picked up the winged boy.
"I'm okay," he said.
"Why didn't you fly away; you have wings…" Britain said.
"There too small for my body," Amerimon answered.
Britain smiled, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're pretty brave for your age, I'm impressed." He said.
Amerimon gave him a small smile, "It was nothing," he said.
Goliamon's roar rang out again, "Britain, that bastard's coming back for another shot!" Romano cried.
"Quickly everyone; follow me! I know a place to hide!" Itamon cried and ran off deeper into the jungle. Romano and Britain chased after him, Britain still holding onto Amerimon tightly. They ran through the trees with the beetle right on their trail until Itamon stopped at a large tree. He moved a large boulder in front of it revealing a large hole in the ground,
"Everyone in here!" Itamon cried. The two nations jumped through and Itamon soon followed after replacing the boulder. The hole led to a small cavern not that far underground,
"What is this place?" Britain asked.
"I call it Itamon's secret base'!" Itamon said proudly.
The four waited underground for what seemed like hours until it was quiet. Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but tensed up when they heard the boulder on top of the entrance move,
"You can come out now!" A familiar voice called.
They looked up to see China looking down on them from above. "How did you know we were down there?" Britain asked as China helped them out of the hole.
"I had some help," he said looking down beside him. There was a Japanese boy about the same age as Amerimon and Itamon, but the only difference was his blue and white kimono and white rabbit ears and a fluffy rabbit tail.
"Konichiwa, friends of China-san," the boy said bowing slightly, "My name is Japamon." The boy pulled out his own marble and showed his stat screen.
"So you have one of these things too?" Romano asked.
"I don't know what exactly Japamon is, but he's cute enough for me," China said happily.
"Hey everyone; we have a new friend!" Itamon called.
"What are you talking abou-" Britain started to ask, but was cut off when another little boy ran towards them, "Oh bloody hell, another one." He sighed.
This boy had silver hair and bright red eyes. He wore a white outfit with a cross on the front complete with a small white cape. He also had wings like Amerimon, only they were bright yellow,
"I am the great Prussiamon! Kneel before my awesomeness!" he declared pumping his fist into the air and showing his stat screen from his marble.
"Do you have any special ability?" Britain asked.
Prussiamon folded his arms over his chest proudly, "I have the BEST ability; the ability to be awesome!" he said.
"I actually feel sorry for the poor bastard who got settled with this one." Romano whispered to Britain and China.
"Prussiamon! I zought I told you not to run off!" A familiar voice yelled.
Everyone turned to see Germany walking towards them. Romano snickered and Germany picked up the winged Albino boy by the cape. "Hey! Let go of my awesome cape!" he cried as he flailed his arms to get away.
"Hey everyone, look at this cute dog I find, da?" A Russian voice said.
Everyone turned to see Russia with his creepy smile holding a little girl in his arms. She had long light brown hair and wore a blue dress with wolf ears on her head and a bushy wolf tail.
She scowled and clutched Russia's arm protectively, "Mess with Russia and you will feel the wrath of Belamon!" she growled holding out her stat screen causing the other nations to shudder.
"Russia, I think she's a wolf," Britain said.
"Even better," Russia said smiling.
"Well, it's about time I found you!" Another voice said as a familiar brunette with glasses appeared out of the bushes. "Austria," China said.
"Yes, and this thing won't leave me alone; it's becoming quite intrusive." Austria said frowning.
"Hey, who're you calling a thing?" A young voice asked.
A little girl with long brown hair with a brown dress jumped onto Austria's shoulder revealing two small, transparent wings on her back like a pixie, "I have a name, and its Hungamon." She said smiling and holding her stat screen for all to see.
Austria sighed and he looked at the group of strange children, "Just what exactly are these things?" he asked.
Hungamon jumped off his shoulder and Belamon jumped out of Russia's arms to join the other four children,
"We're called…Digitalia; Digital Nations!" They all said together.
"Digi…talia?" Britain repeated slowly.
The children nodded, "We may be small and young, but we can fight!" Amerimon said bravely.
"Hey, I just realized that France still isn't here." Russia said. Everyone looked around, not seeing any sign of the Frenchman.
"Relax, that frog can't be that far away," Britain huffed.
Right on cue, a familiar feminine scream echoed through the jungle. Everyone turned to see France running towards them with another boy at his side. This one looked a lot like Amerimon only his hair was slightly longer and had a curl sticking out in front. He wore a long white jacket and had what looked like white bear ears on his head. Goliamon flew out of the grove of trees behind them and dived at the nations.
"Doesn't this damn thing know how to quit?" Romano yelled as they ducked to avoid the bug. Once the bug was out of sight, China went over to France and the boy, "Are you alright?" he asked.
"I zink so," France panted.
The boy with bear ears stepped forward and pulled out his stat screen, "By the way, I'm Canamon; and I have lots of useful skills-"
"NOW IS NOT THE BLOODY TIME!" Britain yelled as Goliamon swooped back towards them.
The group ran as fast as they could with the giant monster flying after them in hot pursuit. Finally the trees and vines of the jungle disappeared and they found themselves facing the edge of a cliff.
"Now vhat?" Germany growled. Britain walked a few yards and looked over the edge of the cliff. A large ravine rushed below them,
"Don't think we want to go that way," he muttered and turned to the others, "We have to find another way down this cliff," he said.
"But where can we find-" Austria was cut off as Goliamon emerged behind them and flew into the air. Britain ducked to the ground as the monster flew over him. The beetle turned around and headed straight back towards them,
"Britain, behind you!" France yelled.
Britain got up and started to run, but Goliamon was coming in too fast; he'd never make it.
Amerimon ran up to Britain, "Hang on!" he yelled as he jumped past Britain and towards the monster.
The boy threw another orange orb at Goliamon which did nothing and slammed into the winged boy instead of the Brit. "Amerimon!" Britain cried in alarm.
He ran towards the boy as Goliamon flew towards the other nations, "Digitalia, attack!" Prussiamon yelled.
The six other children jumped towards the beetle and shot small orange orbs from their own hands like Amerimon. The attacks didn't leave a scratch and the six children were sent flying after being hit by the blow that was aimed at the six other nations. However, the attack caused Goliamon's flight to spin a bit out of control,
"Get down!" Germany yelled. The seven nations threw themselves down as Goliamon flew over them and crashed into a thicket of trees.
Everyone lifted their heads, "Is everyvun alright?" Germany asked.
"Not everyone…" China said sadly. Everyone turned to see the seven children lying on the ground, bruised and unconscious. Britain was cradling Amerimon's head in his arms,
"Amerimon; are you mental? How could you do something so reckless you git? You could've been killed!" Britain said harshly, nearly yelling. He knew that the boy was only trying to protect him, but taking that attack for him like that was just foolhardy.
Amerimon slowly opened one eye halfway, "Sorry," he said, "It's just…I wanna be your hero…so I can protect you Britain," Amerimon said softly.
Britain gritted his teeth as he felt a pang of guilt rise, "Bloody wanker," he muttered.
The other nations all knelt down by each of the children and carefully picked them up, cradling them gently, "Japamon…you poor thing," China said sadly.
"Canamon, mon ami, speak to me." France said urgently.
"Itamon…you little bastard…what were you thinking?" Romano scolded softly, his voice slightly shaking.
"Belamon; you're alright da?" Russia asked worriedly.
"C'mon Prussiamon; on your feet!" Germany ordered with a hint of concern.
"Hungamon…can you hear me?" Austria asked gently.
Goliamon's roar rang out as the beetle emerged from the thicket. But instead of flying, the beetle began to slowly stomp towards them on its legs. The nations ran towards the edge of the cliff where Britain was, clutching the small children tightly, all of whom were beginning to wake up. The nations waited as the beetle slowly walked towards them,
"Get ready to run," Britain said quietly. Everyone nodded since they were all out of options. They couldn't jump off the cliff and they couldn't fight that thing. They couldn't bear to see those poor kids get hurt or worse for their sake. Though none of them said so, the nations felt like there was something very familiar about these kids and something inside was telling them that they had to protect them.
\Amerimon turned in Britain's arms to face Goliamon, "No! We fight!" he declared.
Britain looked at the boy in horror as he turned back to him, "It's the only way; we have to fight him!" he said.
Britain frowned, "Enough with the hero rubbish!" he said frowning; did this boy have a death wish?
"No! Amerimon's right! We have to teach that thing a lesson!" Itamon agreed.
"Did that damn monster give you brain damage?" Romano asked angrily, shaking the boy a little.
"They're right; we must fight!" Japamon said.
"No way! You'll be killed!" China protested. All the kids ignored their partner's protests and began to struggle to break free causing the nations to tighten their hold on the small children.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" They all yelled over and over.
"Control yourself!" Austria yelled as he strained to hold back the struggling Hungamon.
"Non mon ami, you must stay back!" France yelled to Canamon who was quietly struggling. All the other nations gritted their teeth as they tried to keep their grip on the children who flailed and kicked in a desperate last attempt for freedom.
"Sorry Britain," Amerimon said before giving one final twist and was set free. "Let's go!" he yelled and the other children slipped out of the nations' grasp and ran towards Goliamon before the nations could stop them.
They watched, horrified as the children leaped towards the waiting monster.
"Don't do it! Japamon!" China cried.
"Dammit, get back here! Itamon!" Romano cried.
"No, wait! Belamon!" Russia cried.
"Retreat! Prussiamon!" Germany yelled.
"Come back! Hungamon!" Austria cried.
"Be careful! Canamon!" France cried.
"NO! Don't go Amerimon!" Britain yelled and started to run after the boy, but something glowing on his waist stopped him.
Everyone looked to see the strange devices from the lab begin to glow as a huge black portal opened above them. Seven beams of colorful light flew down and surrounded each child as their bodies glowed began to grow.
"Amerimon, Hetavolve to…Alfamon!"
"Japamon, Hetavolve to…Kikumon!"
"Itamon, Hetavolve to…Felimon!"
"Prussiamon, Hetavolve to…Gilbamon!"
"Belamon, Hetavolve to…Natamon!"
"Hungamon, Hetavolve to…Lizamon!"
"Canamon, Hetavolve to…Mattamon!"
The beams of light faded revealing the children who…weren't exactly children anymore. They all looked like they had gone from age four to twenty and were now the same height as the nations. The seven nations stared at the adults now standing in front of Goliamon.
"What just happened to them?" China asked.
"They're…all grown up," Britain said slowly.
Amerimon was now wearing glasses and a brown bomber jacket with a white t-shirt, black gloves, and brown pants and his wings had grown in size to make him look like an angel with brown wings.
Japamon was now wearing a white uniform with yellow and black stripes on the lining and wielded a katana.
Itamon was wearing a blue uniform and had cat-like claws on his finger-tips.
Prussiamon was wearing a black uniform and his yellow wings had grown just like Amerimon's only with extra yellow feathers protruding from his wrists.
Belamon didn't change much except for a white ribbon on her head and had claws on both her hands and feet.
Hungamon's hair had grown much longer and her pixie wings had transformed to beautiful butterfly wings and she wielded a metal club as a weapon.
Canamon grew fur on his hands and around his neck and now wore glasses like Amerimon.
All the children had changed from innocent looking children to fierce adults as now they seemed ready for anything. "Alright dudes! Let's kick some ass!" Alfamon yelled, and the seven adults jumped towards Goliamon.
The nations watched as they exhibited incredible fighting skill and strength as they took down the large beetle. Lizamon slammed Goliamon on the head with her club while Kikumon sliced off one of its limbs with his katana. Both Felimon and Natamon scratched and slashed at the beetle's armor, while Alfamon, Gilbamon, and Mattamon resorted to physical attacks like punches and kicks. They kept going until Goliamon seemed pretty exhausted, but he wasn't giving up.
All the Digitalia gathered together in front of the monster, "Alright; all together!" Alfamon yelled.
Alfamon, Gilbamon and Lizamon flew into the air as Natamon stepped forward, "Splitting Shriek!" she yelled before taking a deep breath and letting out an ear splitting scream.
The sound waves from the scream struck Goliamon as he staggered from the sudden noise.
"Razor Claws!" Felimon yelled as he jumped towards the stunned beetle. His claws grew a few inches in length and glowed slightly as he slashed Goliamon's chest leaving an open wound.
"Sakura Gale!" Kikumon yelled as he thrust his arms forwards to create a large gust of wind that surrounded and trapped Goliamon.
"Ice Breath!" Mattamon yelled softly as he blew a gust of icy winds from his mouth towards the beetle, freezing its legs and wings so it couldn't move or fly away.
Lizamon and Gilbamon flew over the beetle, "Flash Fire!" Gilbamon yelled as his wings glowed red and he shot a stream of flames from his hands.
"Rage Hammer!" Lizamon yelled as her metal club glowed and transformed into a large metal mallet. She slammed the mallet down onto Goliamon's head.
Alfamon flew over the monster, "Star Blast!" he yelled and he shot a royal blue beam of energy surrounded by stars towards the beetle.
The attack landed directly, and the monster roared in agony as his body dissolved and disappeared. The three flying Digitalia landed as large smiles grew on the others' faces.
They turned around and ran back towards the awestruck nations, "See? We told you we could do it!" Alfamon said happily as the Digitalia laughed happily at their triumph.
The nations slowly smiled as they felt a surge of happiness swirl within them. They congratulated and praised the Digitalia for saving them, even though they were still a bit shocked by the sudden changes of them growing up and all.
"I don't know why I'm saying this, but were pretty great back there uh…" Romano paused, "I guess you're not Itamon anymore are you?" he asked.
Felimon shook his head, "I'm Felimon now!" he said happily.
"Then you're not Japamon are you?" China asked.
"No, now I am Kikumon," Said Digitalia answered.
"Did you have a growth spurt or something?" Austria asked.
Alfamon shook his head, "No dudes! It's because we Hetavolved!" he said.
"I don't think that's a real word," Britain said slowly.
"We Hetavolve when our strength increases to the next level, so we can change form as well," Mattemon explained.
"All Digitalia have three different forms; Basic, Advanced, and Ultimate. We all met you in our Basic form. My Basic form was Hungamon, and my Advanced form is Lizamon, which is who I am now." Lizamon explained.
"But ve can't stay like this forever; if ve lose enough energy ve De-Hetavolve back to our previous form." Gilbamon added.
"Then how do you become your Ultimate form?" Russia asked.
"Only if our powers are pushed beyond the limits, but that usually only happens in dire situations whe our partners really need us." Natamon said.
Alfamon nodded, "Hetavolving is harder than it looks; we have to share energy with our partner." He said.
"So, now what do we do?" Romano huffed.
"We have a find a way out of here first," Britain said.
"Then we'll help you!" Alfamon declared. The other Digitalia nodded, "We're your partners so we'll stick with you until the end!" he said.
"We'll always be there to protect you!" Felimon said happily.
"And we'll do whatever it takes to get you home!" Lizamon said smiling.
The nations smiled; their new friends were defiantly not to be underestimated. But something about them still seemed so familiar, but they could put their finger on it. One thing was for sure; they had a long way to go and who knew what dangers could be lying in wait for them in this new Digital World of Digitalia.
HOLY FREAKING CRAP THIS WAS SOOOO LONG! I know, the names are very cheesy and I'm sure you get where I'm getting them from. Now to explain the Digitalia:
Goliamon: Basically a giant Goliath stag beetle (hence the name) with teeth
Amerimon: Baby America (see Hetalia episodes 'Battle for America') with tiny brown wings
Japamon: Baby Japan with bunny ears (like how he was when China first found him)
Itamon: Chibitalia with cat ears and tail and wears the outfit from the intro of Chibitalia
...Just think of the rest of them as their chibi baby form with animal features.
As for their Advanced form, It's basically what they look like normally except with their animal features.
Now, I bet you're wondering...why can't Britain and the others recognize the Digitalia who are obviously their missing friends?
Well...if you lovely people review, I'll explain it in the next chapter...you will recieve love and cake! :)
