Chapter 19
Germany jerked awake once again to the sound of a gunshot, quickly opening his eyes to the sight of fuzzy carpet.
"What was that?! ...and when did I get on the floor?" Germany thought as he tried to remember back, sitting up, and then it hit him "Oh yeah I passed out right after I heard that voice in my head...what was that all about? AND WHERE is that bastard Switzerland at?! He's going to pay when I get out of here."
"That stupid schlampe locked me in this fucking room. What did I ever do wrong?" Ludwig vaulted himself at the door, pounding on it with balled fists. "VASH!" He screamed, twisting the handle violently. Of course it was still locked. Gathering his strength he slammed his shoulder into the door, repeatedly.
"No use...it won't budge...what am I going to do. No, stop talking like that I'm a country am I not? This is easy, I can break down this door in no time." Ludwig slammed his body into the hardwood surface. A little budge occurred, but not enough to help him. So, again he tried charging at the door, this time cracking it a little.
"Third time's the charm, they say." Germany huffed as he took one last final sprint toward the door finally causing it to crumble over and make a loud noise, as it hit the floor. Germany stuck his head out of the entry way and looked both ways before heading down the hall.

"LILI!" Italy and the others all screamed at once. "NOOO!"
"Why?! Perché!" Italy yelled out covering his eyes and opening them back up again just to realize that this was real. All of the others ran up towards her, shocked beyond belief as she lay on her stomach, face looking towards them with half glassy eyes, a pool of blood around her.
"Liechtenstein?..." Italy finally said tears starting to come out, as he knelt down to meet her face to face.
"G...er..man..y...is...ins.. ...W..at..ch...o..u.t...f..or...V.. -" Lili choked out, barely above a whisper, struggling to get out, coughing up blood in the process.
"Germany's in there!" Feliciano and Gilbert said in unison.
" ...Lu..d...w-..." Lili said slowly as she laid down her head.
"Ludwig what? What happened to him? Lili?..." Gilbert questioned her as he knelt down as well next to Italy.
"Is she...dead?" Francis was the first to speak up after a few seconds of silence and Russia set his big hand on her heart only to slowly shake his head before saying
"Not yet, she has a faint heartbeat but it's very weak. I don't think she'll make it.
"No!...no, there must be a way to save her Ivan!" Italy shouted and he stood up and faced the others.
"Sh-she can't die on us! She-she just can't! And plus she was about to say something about Ludwig. I need to know what it was!" Italy continued.
"I don't like the looks of this. Is there a chance we can save her at o'll?" Francis sadly stated taking his eyes of the girl. "Come on let's carry her to safety" The Frenchman said as he leaned down the grab her. But as he was leaning down, another gunshot was heard and the Frenchman yelped out in pain as he fell over.
"FRANCIS!" Prussia yelled as he turned around to see his best friend on the ground bleeding.
"Are you ok!? Oh Gott no, no no no France!" Gilbert said reality checking in as he looked over to see that France was bleeding from the side. He saw his friend grab hold of his side and curse in French.
"Francis, are you ok?!" The startled Italian said already small tears forming in his amber eyes, and scooting over "hold on we-we'll find you something to cover that up!" Feliciano rustled about.
"Come on, we have to get out of here! You guys go ahead; Ivan could you t-take Lili and run." Francis said cringing from the pain.
"No! We aren't leaving you!" Italy whined and France smiled.
"Just go Italy, Prussia will help me? Isn't that right my dear friend?" the Frenchman said as he tried to get up but winced a tad from the pain in his lower stomach.
"Yeah Italy just go we'll catch up in a second, I got this." Gilbert said as he knelt down and Francis grabbed around his neck and slowly lifted his self up.
"But Prussia you're hurt to-!" Italy countered.
"Italy just go hurry up before another shot is fired. Go and run towards the cabin. Oh, and Ivan" Prussia said facing the tall Russian man "You take kumotakki-whatever his name is and go to the guy who's shooting at up and go beat him to a pulp. Can I count on you?" Gilbert finished as France grabbed on better.
"Oh it would be my pleasure. " Russia creepily smiled.
"That's great! We'll be right behind you Feli, ok. Trust me, the Awesome me can't die!" Prussia said and Italy nodded.
Just then though another gunshot was heard echoing through the mountains, and the whole group just stopped as they heard a sickening sound.

"Ha! Let's see you deal with that!" Switzerland said in closed corridors as he watched all the little nations scuttle around.
00000000000
"What was that?" Italy asked as he looked around and saw that no one else was hurt but his question was soon answered as he looked down as saw the ice cracking!
"WAS! We were on ice this whole time!?" Gilbert screamed.
"It must be some sort of a frozen lake…didn't really realize that." Ivan corrected him.
The ice in front of Italy, Russia, and Kumijiro started cracking making huge marks all over the lake separating them from the other group.
"PRUSSIA! FRANCE!" Feliciano screeched as he saw them getting farther away.
"Just go Italy! We'll find another way around this!" Prussia yelled back as the two groups got separated and Feli, Ivan, and Kumajiro started ice hopping.

"Clear" he breathed and he walked down the hallway and looked around and searched every door he could find by slowly looking around the empty rooms.
"Where the fuck is he?!" Germany huffed as he continued walking down the hallway, and soon to an opening. He walked inside the spacious room and around the bend for looking for Vash.
"Hmm, no sight of him..." Germany thought as he scanned the
room. "Oh, wait there he is...what is he doing there?...and is-is that a gun? What's he shooting at?!" Germany thought as he crept around the
corner and looked closely at the cracked open window and the crouching man next to it.
Ludwig wondered as he inched closer to the man being as sneaky as possible. "What's going on?" Germany said just above a whisper but enough for the Swiss man to hear. Switzerland turned around a tad shocked at first but then after seeing Germany a curled smile appeared on his face.
"I see you're awake. Did my gun wake you?" Vash said as he turned to look Ludwig's way. As the nation turned towards the German, Ludwig took a closer look out the window. Panicking people were scrambling in the front yard, water splashing up between loose sheets of snow covered ice. Laying limp in a buff man's arms was Lili, surrounded by red stains and soaking the burly man's coat as well, and a young man by her side screaming something unintelligible.
"What..." Ludwig tried to put the pieces together, his head pounding from all the shouting outside. "You rotten bastard...how could you!? You shot her?! Lili was loyal to you!" Germany growled through gritted teeth.
"Oh her, no she wasn't really my type. She was weak and kind, two things I'm not too fond of. So I was thinking a while back that maybe I'd give her one last chance to prove herself, so I did. And look where it brought me. I told her I'd kill her if she ever let this information leak and she deliberately disobeyed me!" Vash stated matter-of-factly.
"You rotten coward! I may not know who you are or who she was but I'm glad I can't remember you! You're not even worth scum if that's how you treat weaker ones. You're supposed to give them time to grow and help them out when they make mistakes not kill them! That's what I di-" Germany yelled as Switzerland just laughed it off.
Wait...how do I know that? Why did I say that? Did I help out someone weaker in the past?...
"Help get stronger? Pff- weak will never get strong, good men are born strong." Vash commented back, after that was said Germany seemed to just snap, as he soon flung himself at the Swiss man and started fist fighting. Ludwig jabbed up and uppercutted Vash. Switzerland fell down and grabbed hold of his gun tighter then slammed it right into Germany's gut causing him to hurl over and gasp for air. Switzerland smirked and got up, bringing his foot back, but just before Vash was going to kick him, Germany grabbed his leg and forced him down to the floor. Causing him to lose balance and crash to the ground. Germany then wrestled him for his gun while Switzerland kept holding onto it for dear life. Both swearing in German dialects as they struggled for the gun. Switzerland kept shooting random things on the wall and Germany grunted, trying to break the man's grip on the gun after rolling on the floor for a while.
Finally, after a few minutes, Germany succeeded in taking the gun by using his other elbow and bringing it up to quickly jab Vash in the face and catch him off guard. Then Ludwig roughly ripped the gun away from the Swiss nation and in one quick movement took the gun, and thrust it across Vash's face. Then took it again and beat him with the butt of his gun until the Swiss man was unconscious.

Feliciano started panicking, the cracks spreading from the gunshot going wild, the icy water spraying from in between the ice with the frantic movements of the nations. Russia held Liechtenstein close, jumping from block of ice to block of ice, Italy crying pathetically, following close behind, Kumijiro gathered in his arms. France and Prussia were huddled close together, Francis being pulled up by the Germanic nation, Francis's arm slung over the other's shoulder, hoisting the injured nation up.
"Come on…"Gilbert urged, dragging the limping France on the shaky ice, trying to find a path amongst the maze of frozen water and open lake. They were going at a slow pace, as they inched across the ice, their feet slipping despite the layer of snow padding their footsteps.
Ivan and Feliciano were far ahead, the brunette almost falling headfirst into the water when he tripped, but the frightened nation scrambled to his feet and ran after Russia, grabbing onto the end of the man's scarf for stability and to help guide him.
France slipped, tugging Prussia down onto his knees, the ice cracking on impact, splitting the two. Panicking, Gilbert crawled forwards, attempting to drag Francis with him. the ice block broke in half, water swallowing up the French nation's lower half, the pressure dragging him down. He clawed at the ice, the blood seeping from his side, painting the glass-like ice pale red, Gilbert turned around and grabbed at his hand with his free hand, and pulled back, yelling in pain, and digging his heels for as much traction as he could get in the slippery, rapidly breaking ice. He finally managed to pull up France long enough to get him on his side of the ice block and saved his nation friend.

A few moments past where Germany stared down at the Swiss nation and wondered what he had done as he wiped some blood off his fingers. Just then though, Germany heard something, a type of ringing...coming from Switzerland. Ludwig stepped closer and listened harder, as it was he was right. It was a cell phone. Germany went over to Switzerland's pocket and pulled out a small silver cell phone and flipped it open.
"Allo?" Germany said hesitantly.
"That little bastard got away Vash! Here I had Spain just like you told me to and then out of nowhere I somehow got beaten by that stupid little prick Romano! I caught him earlier lurking around but he struggled out of my grasp when he bit my arm! I hope I don't have some sort of diseases from that annoying asshole! Then he hit me with a chair, twice! I must have fell unconscious because when I awoke next I was chained up in the exact spot I had Antonio and they were gone! AND So was my coat! I was so mad when I woke up and I had to yell at my servant to get me out. It took him ages! But at least I hurt that Spanish bastard enough where he probably died on his way back or something. You should have seen the shape he was in." Sadiq concluded, out of breath from his ranting.
"So they got away?" Germany said trying to sound as much like Vash as he could so he could get some answers finally.
"Yeah, but get this! I think Romano thinks that he actually started the Avalanche! Isn't that great!" The Turkish man laughed "and, and he doesn't even know about our plans that we were planning on doing that anyway!" He chuckled to himself. "Now everyone will think it's his fault! Those stupid Italian brothers aren't that smart so it's fun to make fun of them and use them, don't you think?" Turkey asked rhetorically.
"Yeah...I guess so. Is there any more of your plan that you're in the process of doing?" Germany said, once again trying his best to imitate the way Vash would talk. "I mean I just killed that Liechtenstein girl because she was too weak and kind, and I locked up Germany in his room."
"Oh? Is that so. So Lili's finally gone? Good, I never liked her much, she was too naive." the Turkish man commented.
"So where are you now?"
" Still at the headquarters in the police station why?" Sadiq said back.
"Good stay there. Don't leave, and don't continue any more plans, for now at least." Germany said sounding happy at how much information this man just told him.
"Ohhh, and why is that?" Turkey stated back on the other line getting a little suspicious.
"I got a plan up my sleeve. I can't tell you now, but you will know soon enough." Ludwig said as he looked out the window and saw those people from before out there having trouble!
"I got to go now. I have to prepare." Germany hurriedly stated.
"Oh, ok. I got this. Well just contact me back when you need me." Sadiq said as Germany hung up and tossed the phone on the chair and dragged Switzerland's body to the study. He grabbed the curtains from the window and tied up Vash to a chair with the pieces of curtains, surprising himself at how naturally knot tying came to him. Then he shut the door and locked it and pulled a chair over and set it up against the door, then ran back out to the front door to see what was happening.
