Ok, I know that all of you are probably mad at me for making you wait 8 months for my last chapter and you know what you should be mad at me. I'm fully taking all the blame here so if you would like to write me hate mail that's fine. I would love it fr you to comment because reading your guy's comments are so much fun! Anyway I wanted to tell you why I was so late with this chapter...I have been SO UNBELIEVABLY BUSY that sometimes I'm shocked I get anything done. I got to college and have 6-7 classes a semester but on every other weekend I work at a campsite for disabled people. During the summer I work almost ever week. It's very hard to get anything done. I have a hard time sometimes just getting my homework done and homework comes before fanfiction sadly. Believe me I have thought about this ending for months saying to myself "I need to post this. My viewers will be pissed if I don't" and I hate to make you mad...So I just wanted to say I AM SOOOOOOOO SORRY for making you wait so damn long for me...I do hope you enjoy this chapter it's extra long for you guys and I made endings for everyone. :) :D I have tried to write this fanfiction ending multiple times and the first time I was like halfway done and I erased it all because I wanted to take a different path. So, I do hope you like it and comment. Thanks for staying with me this long. It really means a lot.
LAST CHAPTER!
About an hour passed and people were now starting to file in the lounge. Kiku, as well as others, were really starting to worry as to what will happen to them next. Japan sadly sipped at his tea and warmed up to the slowly burning fireplace. Gilbert and Ludwig just woke up from their nap and were both sitting next to each other on the couch trying to stretch out. Gilbert was just kind of lounging trying not to hurt his bad arm, and Ludwig was stretching towards the sky with a slight yawn. Ivan and Matthew were sitting on the couch opposite of the German brothers; Russia's hand was around the sad Canadians' shoulder trying to comfort him, while Kumajiro was in the kitchen eating a stray bag of potato chips. Iceland, Denmark, and Norway were standing by the front door, all three whispering back and forth to each other. Berwald leaned up against the hallway opening looking worried as England came into the room with glazed-over, red eyes. Honestly, it was probably the saddest anyone has ever seen England. And last was Feliciano, who left moments before to go check up on Romano.
"Ok, we should probably figure out what we're going to do for now…" Germany spoke up as everyone around the room slowly got quiet.
"Shouldn't we wait for Italy and the others?" Japan piped, looking up from drinking his tea.
"Well I don't think Feliciano will be back soon. He went to go check up on his brother…and who knows how long that'll take. I think we should just start, and when Feli gets back we'll just fill him in." Ludwig stated as everyone nodded and agreed.
0000000000000
Romano was asleep when Feliciano entered. He still looked sickly pale, but Feliciano had faith in his strong hearted brother. Italy came into the room and walked over towards a small bucket with a stray rag hanging down the side. He moved over, put the rag in the coldish water, and rung it out a little. He then proceeded in taking the old washcloth from Romano's forehead and replacing it with the new one. As the wash cloth made contact, Romano shivered slightly. Italy then pulled up a chair and sat down to talk to his brother.
"I heard you were a hero, fratello. Is this true? Japan told me that you saved big brother Spain. That you dragged him all the way here! That was very noble and brave on your part…still though, I wonder how you two came into the situation you are in now… I mean how did Antonio's body get like that? And his leg… " Italy shivered. "And how did you become so frail? Ve…I hope that soon you'll be better and be able to tell me all your heroic stories! Mine weren't as heroic as yours unfortunately…Mine were just…sad…and full of death. I also heard that you found China's body. Japan informed me…I-it's sad how one event can change everyone's lives. I'm sorry you had to see that but fratello…please…just-" Feliciano stated, dabbing his face for tears that started to form in his eyes. "-whatever you do, don't die on me. I-I wouldn't know what to do if you were gone. America's gone and so is France. Poor England has nobody left to comfort him…he's all alone now. A-and I know I have Germany and even Prussia and Japan. I have everybody that I most care about still with me, but if you leave me…I just won't be the same. It's selfish of me to say this but even though I still have many people that I care about okay and alive…I have no idea what I would ever do if I lost you! You're my brother, and as much as you hate me and I hate you sometimes, we're still brothers. We will always have each other and I-I just…please, wake up soon and feel better ok? T-That is all I wanted to say…" Italy wiped his sleeve across his eyes in an attempt of getting rid of the water streaming down them. He slowly kicked back his chair and stood up to leave when Feli felt a weak grab ahold of his wrist. He was momentarily shocked as he looked down and noticed his brother.
"Roma-" Italy started but was interjected by his older brother.
"Grazie, Feli…thank you for your comfort... I know I'm not in the best shape right now…" Romano started but a slight fit of coughs interrupted his sentence. "Not many of us are, but it makes me happy that you took the time to come sit and talk to me." Romano returned, soft-spoken and weak, but still alive and with a small smile tugging at his lips. As Feliciano turned to speak to his brother, Romano looked away from him, a lonely tear daring to fall. Feli got the point, and he got up to leave the room, stopping at the doorway as he looked back to his fratello.
"Anytime, Romano, anytime..." And with that, Italy left him a quick smile and quietly shut the door and headed back down the hall to the lounge where some commotion was being heard.
0000000000000
"Ok, now that everyone's here that is able to be, I have an announcement" Norway stated as he noticed Feliciano walking down the hallway and with that he cleared his throat as everyone perked up to listen.
"Ok, so I've been talking to Denmark lately and I think that it might be possible to un-paralyze Finland and possibly help others with broken bones. The only downside to this argument is the fact that I do not think it is possible to bring back the dead since that is considered dark magic." Norway said as he looked around the room and stopped at England.
"England, I know you've been through a lot, and I know you even study in the dark arts occasionally, but even you know deep down that there is no way to bring back America or anyone for that matter. You know probably better than me what's at stake when you do that." Lukas commented.
"You see" Norway focused his attention back to the whole room, "I told Mathais this already, but when I was younger I tried once to bring back my dead cat and nothing worked…I really don't think it's possible to bring back the dead…Also, if we mess up the transmutation, terrible things could happen. We could accidently bring back the 'wrong thing' and chimeras could appear. And we don't want that! What I brought back was indeed not my cat that I loved so much but some sort of monster and I had to kill it…If I tried to bring back America, or any of the others, then I would have to go into the spirit realm and try to find their lost soul and that could take days or even years! I know that you're all sad by the unfortunate deaths that have happened, and truly I am sorry and I wish, just as much as all of you that this didn't have to happen." Norway told the gang with a slight sadness in his eyes. "But the reason I told you about healing others is because I did try and heal a broken arm one time and that worked so that's why I brought up the point about healing broken bones and such. People like Tino, Gilbert, even Antonio and Romano…all of these people are alive you see, and because of what these people are, either broken bones or are sick, we might be able to save them!" Norway finished his speech as curious eyes glanced all around the room.
"You keep saying 'us' and 'we', why is that?" England questioned suddenly.
"Well, I said 'us' because I honestly don't think that my power alone will be enough, Arthur…plus I have never un-paralyzed someone before so it might take more energy than I'm used to."
"Who ever said that I would help you? Don't you get it? I don't really care anymore…now that Alfred's dead what hope do I have to hold onto. And let's just say that France can get on my nerves someti-" England stopped mid-sentence when he just then realized that Francis wasn't in the room.
"Oi, where is that French bastard anyway? Is he one of the ones hurt?" England questioned genuinely. But soon felt his stomach turn even more when he noticed the faces on all of the people in the room.
Something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Where is he?!" England muttered growing increasingly angry that not one person would talk.
"He's gone Arthur. We tried to save him, but he didn't last…he froze to death in a lake…we're really sorry for yet another loss." Ludwig sadly stated, knowing how hurt the British man must already be. For a while, nobody talked… everyone just sat there letting that last statement sink in.
"Oh…" England muttered after moments of silence. "I see, so Francis is dead? He was quite annoying, but as much as we fought, I never wanted him to die. And now you're saying that he is? Well, who do I have left to turn to? All my closest friends are dead…So tell me, Lukas, what reason could I possibly have for helping you!" Arthur suddenly spilled out angrily.
"Well like I said I can't do this alone and I- no…everyone here needs your help. I know that you lost two of the closest people to you! I know this…but help us and we can make sure that nobody else has to be lost ever again!" Norway described trying to bargain with the Brit. Everyone else around the room just stared at the two shouting back and forth.
"England, you're not the only one who has lost someone they care about! Kiku lost Yao and Matthew lost his brother! Antonio almost lost Romano, and Romano almost lost Antonio! This is not all about you! So please help us save those who are already here! What would Alfred say?!" The Norwegian man shouted as he pleaded with the British man. England sat in silence for a few minutes, all eyes on him and Lukas. The silence was heavy as everyone waited for England's answer of whether or not he would help heal the ones in need. Suddenly, Arthur stood and turned towards Lukas.
"…Fine, I'll help. I don't know what use I'll be since I used up a lot of magic helping Spain earlier…but I'll try my best. After all, it's what America would want." England said looking down to try to hide a few stray tears. Everyone in the room all seemed to take a sigh of relief at the sound of those words. Lukas smiled and said with great confidence:
"Any help at all would be great. Even if it is just a little bit. Thanks, Arthur."
00000000000000
When the two of them entered Finland's room, the memories of the last hour came back to Arthur as he skimmed across the room and focused on America lying on the couch. He stopped in the doorway and stared across the room as if he was suddenly in a trance. Was he doing the right thing? Would Alfred really want this? There were so many questions piling up as he walked over to the bed that he thought his head might explode. When Arthur got to the bed, he and Lukas saw Tino fast asleep with Hanatamago cuddled gently on his lap; Tino's hand lying on top of the little white dog. He looked more peaceful now, than he did an hour ago. The blood had been cleaned off and his face was washed. He just looked all-around better. Lukas walked around to the other side of the bed and cleared his throat.
"Arthur you know the healing spell right?"
Arthur blew out some breath that he was holding and nodded.
"Yeah, I know it, but it's going to take more than that to-" England stated but was cut off when Lukas handed him something…a book? Norway flipped it open to a marked page and pointed to the spell.
"Yes, I know…here, this is for you. It's a spell I've been working on. I brought some of my magic books with me to read in case I got bored and it's a good thing I did! I mean this spell isn't exactly for healing paralysis but it is a more advanced healing technique. It's a little more powerful than the spell you've been using. This spell takes a great deal of power, though, so you need a lot of energy." Norway looked at him from across the bed.
"Ok, I get it." The Englishman nodded as he took the book out of Lukas's hand and set it in between them. "Let's get this over with." He concurred.
"Ok, what we're going to be doing is, we need to focus as hard as we can on Tino's spine. Just picture a spine in your head and think about it snapped in half. What I need you to do is to picture putting the two bones back together and imagine a glue like substance oozing around the two bones back together fixing it. We need to think about this as we put both our hands out over Tino's stomach, bring them down, put the palms of our hands on his sides, and envision yourself pushing your power out into him. Does this make sense to you?" Lukas voiced out as he stared in England's direction.
"Yeah…I think so. I'll try my best." Arthur said and Norway looked relieved.
"Are you ready then? We may only get one chance…I'm not sure yet how this spell works." Lukas asked.
"Yes. Let's go." England declared and Lukas nodded.
"Alright, one, two, three, NOW!" Lukas shouted as both he and England raised their arms in an outstretched position over Finland's body and thought as hard as they could about what Norway described earlier. Both of them moved their hands from their sides and put them over atop of Finland, said the quick efficient lines out loud, and a yellowish orange glow emitted out of the fingertips of both men. The glow was warm and soft, it kind of felt like a cotton cloud surrounding their fingertips, but it also felt strangely harmful…like as if you failed a thundercloud would come and zap your fingers. It was an odd sensation to have…let's just hope it works.
After the first few minutes, the both of them lowered their hands to his sides and did what the book Norway had said. There was a strong force that seemed to be pulling their hands away from Finland, but they just had to try harder. England forced his hands down to Finland's sides as Lukas did the same. Finland and Hana shuffled a little in their sleep, every now and then quick little shocks would come across their faces, but other than that the healing seemed to be working!
00000000000000
Back in the lobby there was much commotion coming from all the chatting countries. Some were trying to lighten the mood while others looked deep in thought.
"They sure have been in there for a while" Italy said sitting on the couch next to Germany.
"Just give them some time and be patient Italy. It's only been about an hour." Germany said back.
Just then, Lukas and Arthur walked out of the door to Tino's room causing everyone to become instantly silent.
After a few moments of silence, and Berwald starting to sweat nervously…Gilbert was the first to speak up.
"Well…did it work?" Gilbert asked, knowing that, that was the same question going through everyone's mind.
"We won't know for sure until Tino wakes up." Lukas started "Though, I think it did work." He along with everyone else heaved a sigh of relief.
"You could work on my arm. You'll know for sure, and I'm awake so I could tell you if it worked?" Prussia asked wanting to get rid of this pain in his arm as Lukas looked at him sincerely.
"Actually that could work…but I don't know…we are both pretty tired and drained out of energy right now…but how about it, Arthur? Do you need a break, or do you want to see if your magic could help me with this too?" England listened as he sat in an armchair and huffed.
"Actually…I need a quick rest, maybe in a few minutes?" Arthur said with slight bags under his eyes from being so tired.
"Alright, I understand. Thanks for the offer, Prussia, but we are going to take a break. We'll let you know when were ready." Norway said as he took a seat across the room next to Denmark on one of the couches. Sweden came over to the couch just as Lukas sat down and asked "am I allowed in the room now?" to which Norway's stated that "yeah you are allowed in. Just try not to wake him, he needs rest." And with that Sweden went back over to Finland's room, opened the door and disappeared inside.
"Hey, you sure you are ok? You look a little tired. Why don't you go take a nap in your bedroom? I can come and wake you up in about a half hour to hour or so?" Mathias leaned over and asked his Norwegian friend.
"Naw, its ok I think I might just take a nap here. The commotion doesn't bother me much and I want to be here if anything happens where someone might need me.
"Ok, I'll move so you can lie down." Denmark said as he moved to get up.
"What? Oh, um, ok thanks I guess, but you know…your leg makes a really good pillow." Norway smiled as he made a quick yawn.
"Oh? Well, I guess I'll stay here then." Denmark smiled and Norway laid down and closed his eyes for a quick nap.
But after about 20 minutes or so naps weren't looking to be in his or England's favor, when Sweden came running into the lounge huffing.
"It's Tino…he's awake and stirring!" Berwald shouted as England and Norway looked up a tad drowsy. The three of them rushed back into Finland's room to await the news.
The three of them entered the room and quietly approached the bed where the Finnish man laid.
"H-hey Tino. How do you feel?" Lukas asked with a glint of hope in his eyes.
"Hey Lukas, Berwald, Arthur…I still feel a little stiff at the moment…but I also feel a tad different somehow." Finland replied as his gaze went down to his legs and he tried to prop up on his elbows.
"Whoa, don't move so fast. We tried to help your legs so you might be feeling a little dizzy or weird for a while." England cautioned and Finland just nodded.
"Wow that's neat. Thank you so much for trying to heal me!" Tino smiled and everyone just felt happiness spread through them.
"Can you feel your legs, Tino?" Berwald asked in the softest tone. Finland tried to wiggle his toes but nothing…he felt a tad sad as he tried again with a little more strength but still nothing…something did feel different about him, but what was it? He tried one last time with a lot more might and this time prevailed! He got a few of his toes to wiggle! Oh man, was he excited, as a wide smile grew across his face and he giggled happily!
"I feel it! I can feel my toes!" Everyone in the room just cried out in happy tears, so relieved to see something good come out of this mess. Tino tried to swing his legs across the bed and get up, but he wasn't ready for that yet and ended up making himself a tad dizzy.
"Calm down there, tiger. You will feel pretty weak for the next couple hours…maybe even days. Just don't strain yourself too hard, okay?" England warned almost out of breath.
"Mh" Finland smiled as he grew fascinated with wiggling his toes around like a little child.
"We are going to head back into the lobby to tell everyone the good news!" Lukas eagerly said as he then looked over towards Sweden "you can stay here all you like, just make sure he doesn't try anything too strenuous." Norway smiled and winked as Berwald quickly blushed. "Wha-?" but before he could say anything else Lukas and Arthur left the room.
Not long after Lukas and Arthur went into the room them came out, everyone's hair was on edge.
"Well…?" Italy started but cut himself off when he saw both men smiling.
"We did it! Finland is healed!" Lukas announced and everyone cheered that finally something good happened. Everyone seemed to be cheering and all happy that they almost didn't realize the noise coming from a back room. Everyone stopped cheering for a second to listen to the noise that was coming from one of the back rooms.
"What's that sound?..." Feliciano asked looking towards Ludwig and the others.
"It kind of sounds like music? And iPod maybe? Or a phone?" Gilbert said and suddenly Arthur burst out saying "I know that tune!...That's America's stupid ringtone on his phone!" The Brit excited yelled out.
"But I thought the service was down...?" Italy questioned to himself. "But then again I was using the old cord phone by the kitchen when I tried to call that taxi a few days ago. Did they fix the lines already or is this some sort of miracle?" Feli and everyone else all looked at each other in shock for a few seconds until Gilbert blurted out,
"WELL SOMEONE GO GET THE DAMN PHONE BEFORE WHOEVER THAT IS HANGS UP AND WE'RE STUCK HERE FOR GOOD!"
Nobody thought of that until Gilbert shouted, and at that moment, England ran down the hall to his and Alfred's room, and he dove across the bed and grabbed America's phone on the nightstand.
"Hello! Is anyone there?" Arthur said practically out of breath. At first, there was nothing and England started to walk back down the hall. He kept repeating asking "Who's there" or "Hello, can you help me?!" but no one answered…Just when he was about to hang up though, he heard a small voice…
"E…ngl..and?" it sounded kind of like America? But how…?
"Hello America? Are you there?!" Arthur yelled once again now returning back to the room where everyone stood anxiously waiting. Britain put the phone on speaker and began fumbling around with the electronic.
"I swear, I hear America's voice…but now I know for sure that I'm going crazy…" England said listening to the phone.
"Many people always think they're going crazy after a loved one dies…it's as if they come back to haunt you sometimes. I was in the kitchen earlier and I thought I heard Yao…but when I turned around, no one was there." Japan explained.
"…" there was the dial tone again? No one was there…Then again, the phone burst out loud with that same stupid ringtone and this time England clicked answer faster than anyone in the room.
"Hello?" the Brit said into the speaker.
"FUCKING…fuck, fucking, fuck…Bitch" The unknown voice spoke!
"HEY, I KNOW THAT VOICE!" Canada called out from the other side of the room. "That's Tony, America's alien friend!"
"Fucking, bitch…" Tony signaled from the other side of the phone.
"Tony, please its Matthew, can you please help us out!? Were all trapped in a cabin in Switzerland at a Ski resort and Alfred's dead…We need a doctor. Some of us are in bad shape, and we need one soon! I know you don't know us very well, but America needs your help. Please save us!" Canada yelled across the room to the phone. Everyone in the room just sat in silence as a weird clicking noise came and then nothing. There were angry sighs and groans forming around the phone.
"I knew he was good for nothing" England sighed disappointedly. "Won't even help out his master's friends…" But as soon as he finished saying this statement the clicking noise came back and what happened next shocked nearly every single person in the room. As everyone huddled around the phone, a voice suddenly appeared from the other end of the line.
"112 what's your emergency?" a voice called out, and as they all heard this voice almost everyone wanted to just break down and cry. They were finally going to be saved! Italy and Japan started crying as England handed the phone to Germany since he wasn't so good on the accent, he talked to the emergency people telling them all about their situation that they're in, how many people they had, and the fact that they were all at the Ski resort in Switzerland. They needed an ambulance right away, and they needed doctors. The lady on the other end sent out a signal for where the phone was at, got the coordinates to a GPS, and told the men behind her that they needed to fly a couple helicopters out to this residence, since the roads are caved in. The lady came back, told the group that they should be there shortly, and ended the call.
Germany looked around the room after the called ended and was glad to see that he wasn't the only one sheading at least a few tears. They were getting saved…saved…finally they could get out of there. No more casualties…home.
Russia then turned to Canada and smiled.
"Thank you, Matvey…without you talking some sense into Tony we might have never got out of here." And with that everyone agreed and Canada thought his heart might explode with bliss. "Oh, I-it was nothing," ^.^ Mattie smiled and then noticed the camera on the floor by the couch and picked it up. "Oh the camera…" Canada said as he picked it up and opened up the case. The tape was still in it… "I wonder if it still works?" Mattie thought as he took the tape out and opened up the cabinet that the T.V. was sitting on. Sure enough inside the cabinet were the VCR tapes that help Video Camera recorders. "How did these get here?" Matthew asked and Gilbert just smiled.
"Well you see when I let you borrow my camera I grabbed a few blank tapes from home and brought them here knowing that I'd want to watch these home videos later." Prussia described and Matthew just slid the tape into the VCR and rewinded it to the beginning. At first the video camera was tilted down and looking all around the room at peoples blurry faces until finally Prussia's voice spoke up and the camera slowly got more in focus. "I mean someone needs to record this. I need a video of everyone falling over later in in life." And then more blurs came until Romano spoke up and his voice was heard. "So what you mean you want an hour long video of you failing at life?" Then a hoard of laughter was heard on the video and in real life too. People all around were crying. Gilbert looked around astonished that so many people thought that was funny…the next part was a screen looking at Matthew's feet, and all you could hear in the background was Ivan talking. Eventually Mattie turned the camera around and asked "Is this even on?" and everyone in the room laughed.
"Can't even record right can you, Matthew? Kesesese" Gilbert said as Canada looked over to him and replied "My camera skills were better than your snowboarding" and Mathias suddenly yelled out "OHHHH BURN!" and everyone began laughing again. It was a bittersweet moment. There were parts with America on it and others where Japan and China were talking. There was even a moment where Canada went over to Kiku and Yao and said "Smile and wave," and both Asian men smiled and waved at the camera. There were happy moments and sad but by the end of the tape everything started shaking after many loud noises were heard and the camera's screen stopped being in color and the screen kept going from black to white and eventually the tape stopped. After the tape was over everyone seemed to be crying. Italy was the first to get up.
"I'm going to go tell Romano the good news! We can finally get out of here" and after that he left and everyone went back to their rooms and started packing their things.
0000000000
Feliciano walked into his brother's room to see Romano tossing and turning slightly in his sleep. Italy walked over to feel his brother's forehead only to be taken aback by how hot it was.
"Hold in there Romano the ambulance is coming soon and then you'll have plenty of medicine and will feel much better!" the Italian said soothingly to his older brother. '
"I'll stay her with you till the end. Don't worry fratello."
0000000000
About 45 minutes later a loud rumbling noise was heard outside and Ludwig, Gilbert, Matthew, Kiku, Mathais, and Lukas all ran out to the lounge to see three emergency helicopters on the lawn right in front of them. Matthew knew that they were finally going to be saved, and before he forgot took the VCR tape and camera with him and put it in his bag. It's something very dear to him and also his last memories of his brother Alfred.
The others hurriedly opened the door to the three medics with stretchers that were running inside and Mathais led one to Tino's room while Kiku and Ludwig both led one to Romano's room and the other to Antonio's room. One other co-pilot stayed back got all the other people who weren't hurt or badly injured into the second and third helicopters and the others that were injured into the first helicopter.
0000000000
As Ludwig led the doctor into the first room with Antonio in it, the doctor sighed and asked Ludwig to help pick him up and put him on the stretcher.
"What happened here?" the doctor asked while looking down at Spain.
"Long story…I'll tell you later." Germany responded back as the two of them carried Spain out into the first helicopter.
"I wonder how you made it this far. Your friends must be very strong, especially this one," the medic said looking down for a brief second.
"I'm not sure how we've survived either…we've gone through a lot. We are all just tired and want to go home…" Ludwig stated as he help Spain up onto the helicopter.
0000000000
Kiku led the medic down the hall to the room across from the one the other medic just came out of, and when the door opened Italy just sat up and stared.
"The medic is here, your brother will be fine now, Feli," Japan said.
"Great!" Italy sighed in relief. I want to ride with him in the helicopter. I want to be there for him when he wakes up. Please sir." Italy argued as the doctor just brought the stretcher over to the bed.
"You can help, but you'll be more of assistance if you were to help me lift him onto the stretcher. I don't know how much room we'll have on our helicopter though-"
"PLEASE! Let me ride with him to the hospital…please, he's my brother sir…" Feli pleaded and the doctor just gave up.
"Fine, you can tag along if there's enough space." That was more than enough to make the young Italian happy.
"Oh thank you so much! I'll tell you as much as I can about what happened to him," Italy said as he helped grab Romano and set him on the stretcher. Romano winced and breathed out heavily.
"He has a very bad cough and his temperature is too high. I did all I could to bring it down, but we need more medicine that we just don't have here," Japan stated to the doctor now walking out of the doorway.
"Okay, thanks for the info. We'll see to it that he gets help."
000000000000
The last doctor walked into Tino's room, and Sweden was a little confused.
"Who are you?" the Swedish man inquired.
"I'm the doctor that's going to be helping this young man here." The medic said and walked all the way in with a stretcher, but stopped halfway noticing a man sitting on a couch with another man lying down.
"Does he need medical treatment too?" The doctor asked, but England just shrugged.
"Heh, I wish…but no sir…he's dead. I want to take him back home to his family in America." England said while a tear fell down his cheek.
"I see, I will make sure the body stays in pristine condition, and as for you," the doctor said looking over at the Finnish man, "I need you to get on this stretcher, please," Finland nodded. Berwald helped him up onto the stretcher, and off they went.
A few minutes later the same doctor came back in with another stretcher and asked Arthur to help him get this man onto the stretcher. Then off they went to the hospital.
00000000000
In helicopter one was Spain, Romano, Italy, Finland, and Sweden. In helicopter two was Germany, Prussia, Iceland, England, and America, and in helicopter three was Canada, Russia, Japan, Norway, and Denmark.
During the helicopter ride Germany leaned over to talk to one of the flight officers.
"Just so you know there is a convicted Turkish criminal in a police station not too far from here."
"What?" a man answered back.
"Somewhere not too far from here is some sort of police station?" Germany hinted and the officer looked as though he was thinking.
"A police Station you say? Hmmm the closest one I know closed down about 8 years ago."
"That's the one! There is a man there named Sadiq and he's a runaway Turkish criminal. Catch him and bring him to the station. He was the one who hurt that Spanish man I helped carry out earlier and he's also behind one of the many reasons the other Italian brother is sick. He's hurt too many people to be kept running free." Germany said with all certainty.
"Ok sir thank you for your information. I will notify the others immediately" the police officer said and proceeded to turn on his radio and call another member and tell him all the details that Germany just told him.
0000000000
It was now time to finally say goodbye to the Ski resort and on to the Hospital. It was kind of sad to leave but still even though it wasn't how America planned everyone still bonded more during this trip than ever before and that's defiantly something to be thankful for!

Spain and Romano's Epilogue
Spain fluttered his eyes open to a smallish room with white walls. He tried his hardest to sit up and succeeded for once. He then saw a window in the corner that was letting sunlight making the room feel oddly warm. He looked down at his body and saw all the bandages wrapped around him and that his leg was up in some sort of brace. Pain was still surrounding his body but he felt much better than he did the last time he was awake. When was that? He wondered how may days he's been in this room and if Romano was ok? Suddenly the door opened a crack and a beautiful young nurse walked in. She looked happy to see that he was awake then walked over closer to the bed.
"I'm glad to see you're awake. she said happily, but her accent was still thick and hard to understand.
"Where am I? How long have I been here? Where are my friends at? Wheres Romano?!" The nurse just chuckled and said to "calm down"
"This is your fourth day in the hospital. Most of your friends already went back home, though some of them came up and check on you every day. One of which is very persistent." She smiled with a wink.
"You can come in now" she voiced over to the door. The door then opened all the way reviling Romano standing in the door way, sunlight hitting him.
"Hey" Lovino said as he walked over towards the bed. He then turned to the nurse and asked "can I have some privacy with him for a few minutes?"
"Sure thing I'll be back in a few minutes" and with that she left.
"You sure know how to scare me don't you Antonio…" but before Lovi could even go on Spain started crying.
"Oi bastardo why are you crying I'm fine now. See?" Romano insisted as he gestured to himself.
"Romano…I was so scared that I would lose you…when did you start feeling better?" Spain spoke softly with a muffled voice.
"I got out yesterday, these antibiotics really work. But for a while there I could have been a goner. I was scared too but then I thought to myself that without me, you would just become a useless bum and I needed to survive if you or Feli were going to go anywhere in life. Haha" Romano laughed and Toni had a huge smile plastered on his face.
"So I hear you've come to check on my quiet a lot? I just want to go home…do you know when they can let me out?" Spain asked and Romano just shrugged.
"Not sure. Your leg is pretty bad and they say that you'll either have to be on crutches or sit in a wheel chair for at least a month, possibly two. Looks like I'll have to take care of you." Romano smiled and pulled out a wheelchair from the corner of the room. One of which Spain didn't even notice was there.
"Come on Toni, let's go home" Lovino smiled a bright and warm smile, and then reached his hand out.
"Yes, I would like that very much Lovi, let's go home together!~" and with that Spain reached out one of his hands and grabbed hold of Romano's outstretched one.

Finland ran around the backyard with Hana playfully in the snow as Berwald cooked lunch in their kitchen. He watched his adorable wife whose so full of life jump around excitedly with their dog and just then the doorbell rand and Sweden opened the door to Denmark, Norway's and Iceland's face, all of which had gifts. It was time for their Scandinavian Christmas party.
Berwald yelled out the door for Tino to come in and the small Finnish country came running.
"Ah hi guys how have you been? Ice how's your hand?" Finland asked a tad out of breath as he reached the door.
"Hi Tino! We've just been busy like crazy with holiday things." Denmark complained "but it's still good"
"My hands almost all better it seems, so that's good." Iceland said
"How about you?" Lukas asked
"I've been so happy with my legs lately~ now that I can walk again that is. It's so strange though…it's like as if the last couple days never happened…I really wonder about the others. Anyone want to get in my Santa Sleigh and check up on them? Haha" Finland chucked as Mathais excitedly yelled out. "COME ON LETS GO! I've always wanted to ride in your sleigh" and with that all the Nordics climbed in Finland's sleigh and Hanatamago jumped up too for the ride, then off they went into the sky for a little cruise around the world.

England's Epilouge
"Today is cold…Just like the last couple days before…why does my heart ache so much without you here America?" England sighed as he sat next to America's Grave, and set another flower down atop it. Alfred's grave was by far the most decorated in the cemetery. Each day for the last week England has come and sat down in the same spot and just talked to the headstone as if America would just jump right out saying "hey dude why are you crying that's sooooo lame Arthur." England sighed again as he got up from his spot. "Goodbye America" he sadly said as he left.
The next day he walked through a cemetery in France, looking for Francis's tombstone. Finally he found it but much to his dismay it was bare and cold.
"This is not how Francis's grave should look…where's all the sex toys and flowers, where his personality…it's as if he's wiped off the planet Earth and no one cares…" England sadly said as he set down a bouquet of France's favorite flower, the red rose. "Goodbye friend. I will miss you as well." Arthur said walking out of the cemetery with tears in his eyes.

Japans Epilogue
Japan sat through another countless boring meeting with his government and China's. Things were not looking too well for the poor Japanese man…all he wanted was to scream internally and get the hell out of that room before another thing reminded him of Yao. He was sad…so sad, Kiku got up from the meeting and Walked to the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked one of the Workers for the Japanese government.
"I just need some fresh air" replied the Japanese man.
"Well the meetings not over so get back here" the Japanese man grumbled then apologized to the Chinese officials for Kiku being so rude.
"No. I don't care for this meeting therefore I am leaving." And so Kiku left and did not return but instead packed up some things and headed over to China to pay some respects to his dearly beloved friend who departed too soon…Japan arrived in China hours later and held out a map of the town that Yao was supposed to be buried in. Finally after what seemed like forever, he found it and went to pay his respects to Yao. He sat down next to his lovers grave and set down a bouquet of flowers and prayed.

Prussia's Epilogue
"Ahh much better" Gilbert said as he rolled his shoulder blade in a circle. "My shoulders almost fully healed, now I can go drive to Toni's house to see how he's doing." Prussia packed a few things then took off from his house and drove down to Spain. Once there he knocked on Antonio's door and he heard Spain call cheerfully from somewhere in the house to "come in". He opened the door to see Antonio on the couch watching a movie and Lovino asleep next to him, head leaning on his lap.
"Hey man, how are you doing?" Prussia asked coming into the house and setting his bag down by the front door and shutting it.
"Oh, the same as the last few days…not much different. I still hurt but I think-well hope-that it's getting better."
"Well that's good. At least you are not hurting as bad as before. How's Romano been feeling?" Prussia asked sitting in an arm chair.
"He's had a few coughs here and there but he's doing much better than he was last week. Wow can you believe it? It's already been a two weeks since we were saved…almost three...and I can still feel the pain of those days." Spain identified.
"Yeah I know. My arm just healed this morning. I finally don't feel much pain anymore." Prussia grinned and Spain just smiled
"Well don't push yourself Gil. Why don't you just stay here for a few days. I'm sure Lovi will be fine with it if I talk to him." Antonio asked and Gilbert just shrugged.
"I don't know man. I don't want to intrude…"
"It's fine. I insist it." Spain smiled, and well who could say no to that smile?

Italy and Germany's Epilogue
"So" Italy began "Gilbert told me that you had feelings for me?" Feli started a conversation as Italy and Germany ate breakfast together.
"Wha- oh ummmm yeah I-uh" Germany started jumbling over his words.
"If you liked me so much then why did you say so many mean things about me?" Italy asked, curious yet still a tad angry.
"I well…you see me and Japan were comparing you and we talked about how bad you are at so many things but even though your bad at all these things, we still love you. I mean yes Italy you make me angry as all get out but somehow I find it oddly charming. I feel oddly warm around you. It confuses me, I always though love wasn't for me and that all I needed was a notepad and a pencil. I've always been one for rules, to do what I must to survive. I never would have thought love was one of those necessities. But then I realized that without you my life is boring."
Italy stopped eating and just stared at Germany.
"D-do you really mean that Ludwig?"
"I do Feliciano. I love you, and I always have."
"You do…?" Feli pauses to sniffle and continue on "I have always loved you too! Why do you think I'm always over here…I love being with you!"
At that moment Italy stood up and ran over to Germany taking him into a hug.
"I love you too Ludwig. Please don't ever leave me?"
"Ja, I won't. But breakfast is over and you know what that means Italy."
Italy gulped
"It's time for training!" Germany announced

Canada and Russia's Epilogue
It's been a few days since Matthew has returned home and he still couldn't believe everything that has happened. Suddenly though, there was a knock on Matthews front door. The Canadian man slowly stood up from the couch he was relaxing in and opened the door.
"Ivan!? What are you doing all the way over here?"
"I just wanted to know if you would like some company. I am not doing much and I knew that you'd be sad after everything you've been through so I was thinking that I could stop by and cheer you up." Russia smiled as he showed Matthew a bag with a few comedy movies.
"Wanna watch some movies with me?" Ivan asked as Canada opened the door wider and let in the Russian man.
"I'll go make some popcorn. Would you like anything to drink?" Mattie asked as Russia yelled out "Got any vodka?" and Matthew laughed. You know I actually do have one bottle…I've never tried it before though. Maybe today's a good day to try something new. We'll split one." And with that Mattie walking into the kitchen and began preparing meals.
