A/N The story is almost finished! But I won't be posting for a week after this update because Romans (credits for 'Because Romans' goes to roserycus77) XD.

The nations were gathered at the World Meeting Place in London, arguing about why England, France, and America were missing.

"Well where could they possibly be, aru?" China asked.

"They haven't been seen since the meeting last week," Japan said. "Do you think something happened to them?"

"I don't believe so," Germany answered. "All three of them not present? They are most likely with each other."

"B-but what if something did happen to them?" Veneziano cried. "They could be in trouble! Or hurt! Or without food!"

Before Germany could try to calm him down, Romano stepped in front of his brother and said, "My fratello is right, you potato head! Don't you fucking touch him!"

Spain piped up, "I agree with Lovi!"

"That's just because it's me, you bastard," Romano protested, but his face turned as red as a tomato.

"What if-?" Canada tried to voice his opinion.

"I don't know what happened, but it's totally un-awesome!" Prussia pouted.

"Don't worry," Russia smiled. "I will find the problem and stab it with my pickaxe."

"Excuse me?" It was a girl's voice. They all quit talking and looked to the door, which they hadn't realized had been opened. Standing in the doorway was a young woman with long, white har and a similar complexion. She wore a short, black dress with leggings and a leather jacket. The nations froze and wondered both what she had heard and why she was here.

"I-." She couldn't speak. They were all staring at her. God damnit, Maria, this has to happen now?! she cursed herself.

"Hello, I am Kiku Honda." The nations were surprised to see Japan had arisen from his chair and was walking over to the girl. "How may we help you?" he kindly asked.

Maria knew he seemed familiar. So did his last name...that was it! The girl Maria and the others had seen in that file, Sakura, must be his sister!

"Oh, I am Maria Beilschmidt." The nations tensed as they heard her last name, especially Germany and Prussia. Japan concealed his feelings, just like he always did. "Anyway," she said, now facing the rest of the room, "I need everyone's help. Alf-, I mean, America, England, and France are all in trouble.

"How do you know them?" Germany demanded.

"It's a long story, but you need to come. All their memories are about to be wiped, and I don't know what they'll do to everyone, and-." she stopped when she saw the looks on their faces. They didn't believe her.

She quickly regained her composure. "Look, England gave me this address!" She held out her hand for them to see, hoping they would recognise his handwriting.

"This could be a trap," Spain said.

China nodded in agreement.

"N-no, please!" She was beginning to panic. "It's not a trick, I swear!" Her eyes then focused on to someone far in the back of the room. Their eyes locked. The other nations looked back and forth between the two, just now noticing how similar the they looked.

Prussia soon blinked and hesitantly asked, "Do I know you?"

"Ja, you do," Maria said, tears brimming at her eyes. She tore her eyes off her brother to address the others. "This is what I meant when I was talking about them losing their memories."

"How do I know you then?" Prussia asked.

She was about to tell him, but decided sadly that now was not the time for a reunion. "I will tell you later. But right now, we need to help those who are in serious danger,"

"I believe you." The words were out of Prussia's mouth before he could register what he was saying. When everyone looked at him, he swallowed and confirmed, "We should trust her."

They all agreed.

"What now?" Romano asked.

Maria said, "Follow me!" She led them downstairs and into the little parking lot. She said, "Okay, I'll try to give you a quick summary. Basically, this secret organization known as the USC decided it would be a great idea to take personifications and make them lose certain memories. A girl named Alice Kirkland came to London last week right after the World Meeting and saw England. They both knew they had forgotten something important and tried to figure it out the next day but couldn't. They met a girl named Emily F. Jones and they came to rescue me the next morning. Then we went to get help from France but the USC found us and we got a helicopter lift out from America. We looked through the files we had stolen and found out that each country was represented by two personifications, but only one sibling knew this. The other sibling was living a normal human life because their memories of being a nation had been taken away. Then the USC knocked down the door and captured us for a few days. Today, Alice and Arthur teleported me out and I drove here in a little blue car."

The nations tried to process what she had said. Prussia broke the silence by saying," Then, you're my sister?"

She smiled and said, "I am."

He took her into a big hug. When they seperated, he said, "Let's go kick some ass."

They took two cars, one of them being Germany's car, the other being Maria's "rental". They sped away from the city and toward the building which held the missing nations.

"Everyone up!"

Alice, Arthur, Francis, Alfred, and Emily stirred when they heard that recognisable overly-cheery voice. When they blinked open their eyes, they saw Patricia standing before them in front of several guards. "Are you ready?" she chirped.

They said nothing, but simply stared at her with pure malice.

"Alrighty then!" she continued anyway. "I believe that the boys are first up." The guards opened the doors to Francis', Arthur's, and Alfred's cell.

"You're taking them all at once?" Alice asked, trying to hide her panic.

"Why, yes. We decided it would speed things up if we gave them their treatments all at once in one room." Thankfully for the nations, she didn't notice the girls' frightened faces or the empty cell on the end.

She snapped her fingers and led the others out. Arthur looked at Emily and gave her a reassuring smile, trying to make her feel better. She smiled sadly back at him, and then he was gone, along with the light, as the door slammed shut.

"Do you know what this means?" Alice said, her voice trembling. She felt like she was about to hyperventilate. Before Emily could say anything, she answered herself. "They'll bring us in early and notice Maria is gone. Then they'll go looking for her and maybe capture the other personifications as well!"

"Hey, don't worry bro," Emily tried to calm her down. "Maria's got this. And she has a bunch of kick-ass immortal beings with her."

Alice sighed. "I suppose."

Emily glanced at the clock. It was 9:30.

Come quickly Maria.

Arthur, Francis, and Alfred were herded through the obscenely white hallways filled with bright lights and into a large room nearly as dark as the cells they had been kept in. There were a few chairs that looked like they had been stolen from a dentist's office, though equipped with straps to hold down patients.

Or victims.

Alfred knew Maria needed more time, so as he was being forced into the room, he quickly nodded at Arthur and dropped to the floor as he feigned unconsciousness. Arthur caught on almost immediately and dropped like a rock seconds later. Francis followed pursuit. Doctors and nurses rushed in as they tried to figure out what was happening. The guards dragged the bodies into the chairs and the nations "woke" ten minutes later, when they heard someone suggest injecting them with a dangerously high level of caffeine even though that mixed with the memory drug could be catastrophic.

As they jerked "awake", the doctors rushed to their side to make sure they weren't going to suddenly die, and gave the 'okay' to commence. Soon, a large man walked in through the doors. He was dressed in a suit, was bald, and had thick black sunglasses covering his eyes. He grinned slightly and muttered, "Gotten into some trouble now, have we?"

He looked at them each in turn. "Are you all ready to go back to working like normal?"

They said nothing. Francis narrowed his eyes at him.

"Well this is a quiet group. Let's get this over and done with." He held out his hand and a nurse they recognised as Madison placed a syringe filled with blue liquid in his palm.

"Oh, Hell no!" Alfred struggled in his restraints as the man walked slowly over to him.

"Who are you?" Arthur called, trying to distract him for the moment at least.

Without looking away from Alfred, the man smoothly replied, "What the nurses and doctors have been referring to as 'the Boss', that is me. I am the head of this corporation.

The Boss, without warning, plunged the needle into Alfred's forehead.

"Alfred!" Arthur shouted. He fought the straps holding his arms, legs, and head, but it was no use; even America, with his super strength hadn't been able to break through the heavy metal clasps.

Alfred grimaced and blinked rapidly for a few seconds before slumping against the chair, truly unconcsious.

Patricia giggled as she watched from the wall near the door.

"Now," the Boss said after he had been given two more syringes, "Who's next?"

A/N I know that's an annoying place to end a chapter but I can't stay up later writing, and I'm leaving tomorrow at 5:30, so yeah :p see you all next week, and please review and follow! :D
