Hey guys! Here's part two! If you guys are wondering, yes Jao Lan is practically going to scream his way through the entire Paint it white chapter. Ha ha! Let's see how the ambassadors cope with this mess!
Chapter 15: Paint it, White (p2)
How did it end up like this?
We were now in America, in a remote part of New York city where there is just plain dirt, inside some secret hide out that's super colourful among the white buildings. We were all wearing colourful clothes to, to show our rebellion. This is our temporary headquarters, well, our UNtemporary headquarters. I was wearing a bright red shirt with bright green pants and a yellow hoodie. I know it's not fashionable but everyone except Russia, Steve, Germany, Alyan and France were hardly wearing anything fashionable. Mainly because our clothes were in a hurry to pack our things while escaping.
Italy was was wearing a light blue hoodie with matching pants and a red shirt. Germany was still wearing his uniform, lucky. Brandon had ditched his plain yellow shirt and black shorts with a green shirt that has a smiley face and long pale yellow pants. Don't ask, it came from Jao Lan so it looks too big on him. But in my opinion, the smiley face was an irony since Brandon is pokerface most of the time.
Japan was wearing a pale grey military uniform. Ariel wore a huge green t-shirt that went all the way to halfway down her tights and tight neon leggings. Don't ask where she got those clothes. China was wearing an orange jump suit and had his panda on his back. I think the panda's name is Xiao Ai which means ' small cutie' literally in chinese. Syrian was wearing a light purple shirt with black skinny jeans. I know how much Syrian hates skinny jeans but she has no choice, Alyan only had that pair left.
Britain somehow got stuck wearing a red jumpsuit and Riana wore her school blazer with baggy orange shorts with her weirdly patterned shirt inside. It looked like some animal painting. She brought Rani along and now Rani and Ruby were playing with each other. America and Jao Lan were still wearing their everyday clothes. Jao Lan's everyday clothes was a blue collared shirt with black pants… but for now Jao Lan was wearing a green neon shirt that says ' twerk it off!'. Russia was the only one who hasn't changed other than America and I guess Germany. Steve was wearing his sully baggy shorts but wore a long sleeved brown jacket with a zip.
I had no idea what France was wearing though. He wore a collared long-sleeve pink shirt with pink pants with black boots. But the weird part was this long white cloth hanging from this collar like a tie. Alyan wore a loose dark red shirt with pink shorts and slippers. She had to rush out of the house the last minute unlike France, who clearly took time to get the outfit.
I was sitting at the balcony, looking at the cartoon like city. How did it get so bad. Ruby sat beside me and I stroked her. I wonder how many people are left…
" Looks like turning into a pictonian is a fate we all share now." Germany said with a sigh.
" But I don't want to be turned into a pictonian!" Jao Lan freaked.
" We don't want to so stop freaking out!" Syrian said. Jao Lan stayed quiet.
" I refuse to be come as ugly as the rest of you." France said.
" Well I don't want to lose my face." Alyan said.
" Look on the bright side at least you won't smell like drunk cheese anymore." England said.
" England, not time to argue." Riana said.
" Hey guys, are you not hungry at all?" Italy asked, panicking. He was trying to stop them from arguing.
" I got some biscuits." I said
" Shut up guys, we are not letting his get us down." America said as he stepped forward.
" What do you suggest we would do in this desperate situation?" Steve asked.
" Dude we are going to stand together whether we like it or not." America said then smiled. " I don't."
" I agree." Russia said. " I don't like it."
" That's right, we should fight together even if we hate it. I hate it." China said with a smile.
" I hate it more." England said.
" Oui, je desteste." France said.
" Me I don't likey, but we might as well listen to each other's opinions." Japan said.
" That's what we ambassadors were trying to do all along!" Riana and I exclaimed.
" Why didn't you tell us then?!" England exclaimed.
" Because you guys were too busying arguing to listen to us." Brandon said. England kept quiet. Germany stood up and then said " Alright, put your hand up if you want to work together now."
Germany raised his hand, all the ambassadors raised their hands. All the other countries reluctantly put their hands up. Italy was little late, looked around, raised his hand and said " Pasta!"
" Meow!" Ruby said as she raise her paw. Rani looked at Ruby and did the same.
" Check this out a douse of originality!" America announced suddenly. " We get a huge hero who deflects the beam with his super awesome shield and beats the hell out of those aliens!"
" Um… do we even have that?" Jao Lan asked.
" It's unrealistic." Steve said.
" In that case I think Japan should do it." Italy said. " I mean he's got even ******* right? And that ***** right"
( A/N, the sensored words are actually TV programs. They were censored in the movie for copyright purposes. Sorry about this )
" Um those are actually-" Ariel said before China cut her off by saying " If you are talking anime I can totally handle that." Then he mentions about his TV show.
" You know what I think I heard that before but better." Italy said.
" Yeah, I do too." Everyone else said.
" They were copied from Japan." Syrian revealed.
" It is pure chinese idea!" China said angrily and glared at Syrian. Syrian held her hands up and said " Hey… I was just saying the truth…"
" You guys." Germany said " Why don't we all try coming up with something realistic!"
" I wondered where that went." Riana said.
" I was thinking the same thing my idea is perfectly realistic." England said.
" Which is…?" Alyan asked.
" Riana, help me set it up!" England said.
" Are you sure they will believe us?" Riana asked.
" Of course, come help me." England said. We were staring at the two of them as they did somethings on the ground, suddenly, a glowing symbol in a circle surrounded by thin candles lighten up. " Tada!" England said.
" Yeah, we need something realistic." We all said.
" You wankers don't ignore me!" England said. Rani meowed.
" I told you they won't believe us." Riana said.
" I don't trust your magic ether. The last time you used your magic was to send me back home. You did the same thing but instead of sending me home to brought Scotland to appear behind me." I said.
" He used black magic on you?" Brandon asked.
" Yeah, but I didn't get hurt." I said.
" How many attempts did it take to bring you back home anyway?" Jao Lan asked.
" I can list down several ridiculous attempts to send me back home…" I said and shivered at the memory. I was just glad I wasn't flung out of a catapult to send me back home.
Suddenly a sound came from America' computer saying in a computer like voice " Moking, Moking." We all heard it. We all looked at his computer, it was a video call. It came from Tony in his own UFO.
" Oh, what a charming alien." France said sarcastically
" Eek! What is that!" Alyan exclaimed as she hugged Syrian out of fear. Syrian said " You're… strangling me…"
" He's no alien, Tony is my best friend." America said.
" He's a pretty cool dude too!" Jao Lan added.
" That doesn't mean he's not an alien!" England corrected America.
" Dude Tony." America said, ignoring England " What's the scoop bro?" Tony stopped his weird beeping and looked at us. Tony made some noises then ate the hamburger he was holding.
" That's a trap!" America exclaimed " Here's the deal. Tony said he got a top secret deal from Euro space development."
We all blinked. How in the world did he understand Tony? All I hear is gibberish. Tony must have been around America for a loooooooong time for him to understand. Even Jao Lan still looks confused.
Tony then took a long sip of his soda, then he pressed a button to show us a photoshopped picture. It was obviously photoshopped because it was so badly done. It was suppose to be a picture of two pictonians posing with two guys in front of the camera.
" Oh come on that is obviously photoshopped." England said.
" You just read my mind." I said.
" I think he read all our minds." Germany stated as a sarcastic statement.
" Ha ha ha! That's just Tony's style." America laughed Jao Lan and China took a closer look. Then Jao Lan said " Ha ha! That's funny, weird but funny!"
" Dude, quit busting our balls here we're trying to be serious here." America said putting his fists to his hips. Tony continued to eat another burger whole and sip his soda. I wonder if Tony has a huge appetite like America and Jao Lan? Then Tony said something in his language. America slammed his hands on the table and said " Seriously? You better be telling me the truth dude." Tony gave a thumbs up.
" Rock out thanks a bunch load Tony!" America exclaimed.
" What did he say?" Riana asked.
" What is it? What did your weird friend say?" Japan asked nearly at the same time.
" He's not weird." Jao Lan corrected.
" Technically an alien is weird for the definition of weird is something supernatural or unearthly." Steve said.
" I know what weird means Steve." Jao Lan said.
" Well luckily he wasted a lot of his time on the most popular porn and intergalactic message board so he able to track down the pictonian's research sight. Then he hacked into it. Apparently their password is just password." America said.
" Well, that is sort of a good idea if you think about it." Ariel said.
" I tried that once and Jao Lan hacked into my computer." Alyan said.
" I could have done something if Alyan didn't come in." Jao Lan said.
" Oh, bravo for him for being an alien then." England concluded.
" Hey, he's my friend!" America said.
" We know, we are just telling you he is an alien." All the ambassadors said, emphasising on the 'is'.
Then Tony sent us the website. It had a green background and there was the picture of the pictonians. It was in some weird alien language. Then Germany said " I can't read what it says at all."
" Any translation?" I asked.
" Calm down. Tony, start the translation software thingy." America said, Tony gave a positive reply and the page was translated into english. I could now read the title of the website ' The World of Picto Planet'. America scrolled down and there was a video. America played it.
The voice in the video shows tells about the planet Picto, which is basically a giant ball of light. They think their planet is ' perfection' and decided to turn other being into something like themselves by using light. " That's terrible aru!" China exclaimed
" Talk about having a big ego." Alyan said.
Then the video went on. It talks about the rumours, that it first aims for earth because of our so called 'high' technology and 'intellectual advancements'. Otherwise, they thought it would be easy on conquer. The voice says how bad we are because we have so many problems. Then the pictonians want to ' correct' us.
" Apparently our planet is per say…" France said. We were all silent at first.
" Considering the wars and problems we have, it's no wonder they think this way." Steve said.
" I agree, we have way too many wars and this period is the closest time we have to peace yet it's still in a huge mess." Brandon said.
" What have we done?" Japan asked.
" A lot as they say." Syrian said.
" But we have a lot of good things too." I said.
" Like what compared to them?" Italy asked.
" We have personalities, families, emotions and so much more pictonians cannot have! They all act like weird clones, no offence. There are so many happy things I can list down: friendship, love, family, kindness. We may have a lot of faults but we also have a lot of good stuff too." I explained.
Then Tony said something. " What does he say now?" Japan asked.
" The more their species, the more they become nobera-like." America translated.
" Oh, I have a collection of evolving faces I like to show them." Russia said, with a creepy aura around him. Steve then joined him. " Stop with the freaky aura!" Syrian exclaimed in fear.
" Where are they weak, they have got to have weaknesses." Germany demanded.
" They do." A voice from the computer said. It was from Tony! Everyone including America and Jao Lan freaked out. " Why haven't you been speaking like this this whole time!" France demanded.
" Because I don't do dubs." Tony said in his childish like voice. Really Tony, really? Jao Lan and America seem betrayed. Tony… all this time I thought you can't speak. Then Tony looked at America and said " I could tell you what Vietnam said about you when you passed out."
" Really?! I mean why are you bringing this up now?" America said first excitedly then calmed down.
" Oh, I'll tell you later. So it is true that you like Vietnam." Tony said. America freaked out, blushing and said " Dude… from all the times it had to be now."
" Nah, I just like to annoy you." Tony said. Jao Lan seemed excited. My eyes widen and my my hands over my mouth. America likes Vietnam?! Should I tell her?! Then America saw me, then he told me " Don't tell Viet!"
" Aw… come on!" I exclaimed.
" Do you want me to die?" America asked. I kept quiet. " That includes the rest of you."
" Damn!" Jao Lan and Alyan said at the same time.
" Vietnam…" Japan, China and France said at the same time, I bet they feel disturbed.
" Back to the weaknesses, can you tell us what it is?" Brandon asked.
" Okay, their weaknesses are…" Tony said as he did somethings on his mobile phone. It took a really long time. We waited for some time, it was agony. It was so silent. Tension and impatience came over us. He often told us to wait while he searched. Come on Tony… tell us. Please tell us. But… something was to happen, I swear. Something to prevent us from knowing. Then I remembered.
" Tony! Leave the UFO! Leave the UFO!" I exclaimed. Tony looked up at me through the camera in confusion. But it was too late… Tony turned into a pictonian right in front of our eyes. Then the video connection broke apart. We all gasped.
" Tony!" America said in alarm.
" I forgot… I remember this scene. We were going to get the answer when another UFO turns him and his UFO into pictonian stuff or whatever you call it." I said, my eyes wide. We were all silent for a moment. Then I felt something warm from my left. We all looked at the green glow. We all quickly went in front of the UNtemporary headquarters. We all gasped. There was a bunch of UFOs in the air, about a hundred or so, maybe more. Are they here to get us?
Slowly, the UFOS started to merge together, then merging with other UFOs and so on. This went on until they have made on huge, gargantuan, glowing UFO. We were awed by this scene, also troubled.
" What on earth…?" England whispered.
" What…?" Riana said.
" It's not on earth." China told England.
" It's out of this world." Syrian said. Italy was waving his white flag desperately. I quickly took his white flag and said " No time to surrender!"
" But it's after us isn't it?" Italy asked.
" Maybe… but from what I remember they aren't aiming for us." I said.
" They aren't?" Germany asked.
" They are here for the pictonians." I said. Germany seemed confused. But I knew they were here for the human pictonians. Something real bad. The great big UFO light started to land.
" Man, the light's enormous!" England said as he ran forward, Alyan and France did the same. " I think it's the mother's ship!" France said.
"Aaah! Run!" Alyan and Syrian exclaimed as they hid behind Riana and China. Riana just patted their heads but I know she herself was struck with fear. Then suddenly, a huge gust of wind and dust blew towards us. The ship is landing! A booming sound pierced my ears. We covered our eyes with our arms trying not to get hurt in anyway possible. Some of us were nearly blew off. I nearly lost my footing by Japan grabbed me just in time.
" Thanks Japan." I said.
" Don't thank me yet." Japan said, blushing, then coughed out the dust.
" Aah! This is why I carry white flag! Aaah!" Italy said as he was nearly blown off, if Steve didn't catch him time. Alyan and Syrian nearly got blown away if China and Riana weren't there to save them. Japan told me to squat down. I obeyed, I saw that Alyan and Syrian did the same. Japan covered me until the strong wind stopped. I grabbed unto Japan's clothes, trying not to be blown off. Alyan and Syrian were doing the same with Riana and China respectively. Italy just held unto Germany.
When the loud noise finally stopped and the dust blown away, I let go of Japan. I blushed a deep red, what the heck did I just do. I murmured an apology.
" It's okay." Japan said as he helped me get up. Syrian and Alyan got up too. Rani and Ruby ran out of the Untemporary Headquarters, looking at us with worry. Riana said to the two cats " It's okay, we're fine." Then Riana picked up Rani while Ruby ran to me and I caught her with my arms.
I took a good look at the mothership. It was huge. Probably enough to fit millions of people. Oh no… I know what they are doing.
" Well, I guess I was right." France said.
" Yes, that has to be their mothership." England said.
" What is it here for anyway?" Ariel asked.
" I'm not sure." Brandon said. Then suddenly, America laughed and said " Those space dorks are so predictable!"
" Then what is going to happen?" Jao Lan asked.
" Don't look at me, ask Kristina." America said pointing at me. They all looked at me and England asked " Well, you do know a brief plot of this adventure, despite the ambassadors interference. What is going to happen."
Before I could say anything, China called us " Guys! Take a look!" We all looked at where China was looking. It was a huge crowd of pictonians. Can it even be a crowd? Looks more like a sea of them. They were all limping towards the mother ship. The doors of the mother ship at the bottom open and a conveyer belt came out and landed on the ground in front of the pictonians. We all knew they were the human pictonians. Then the human pictonains stepped unto the huge converter belt as it started to move. In small crowds, they all went unto the mothership. It looked like a horror to me, seeing all those human controlled by who knows what, hypnotised or mind-controlled, going unto a spaceship that will bring them to who knows where?
" So they all are going inside the ship." Brandon said.
" Of course captain obvious." Jao Lan said " But why?"
" Well that sort of making the sense." Russia said " I would fly nobera humans back to Picto for slave labour if I were them."
" Yes, it does." Steve said.
" Unacceptable! We shall not allow such atrocities!" Germany said in a loud voice, almost growling. " Let's torch our battle!"
Japan got into Germany's way and said " Germany, I'm sorry I touched you but if we fight politically we will only end up defeated."
" Must kill-" Germany shouted before America interrupted " Hey dudes! I have an idea, we could infiltrate their ship and fine their weaknesses."
" That's a good idea!" Jao Lan said.
" Yeah for once America came up with a real good idea." Brandon said.
" Yes! I like the way you're thinking!" China approved.
" Right, you can leave the spying to me then." England said.
" Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say." Japan quoted.
" Exactly who are they?" France asked.
" GO in there? With several pictonians that could attack us? We wouldn't last a second in there if our kind of… appearance." Syrian said.
" Yeah, we need to able to sneak in without getting caught." Ariel said. Then Italy called out " Hey guys! I know a way we can all get inside."
We all looked at Italy. He was wearing something of white jumpsuit with a white hoddie with a string thing hanging from he top. No offence to Italy but it looks ridiculous. What is he wearing anyway?
" Tada!" Italy cheered.
" What the hell! What is that!" Germany shouted.
" It's my pictonian costume! Don't you like it? I made it with all the white flag material I have." Italy explained. " Woohoo good news I made one for everybody." Then we saw a box filled with this kind of costume. We were all silent at first. Then Riana asked " Where did you find the time to make all this?"
" Oh when you guys were all sulking and upset about the chances we could become pictonains." Italy said. We just stood there looking at the costumes. I thought for awhile… that's actually a pretty good idea. Italy actually did something useful for once! I smiled, then we all grabbed our costume and put it on. It was stuffy wearing the suit. Then I grabbed my backpack. Ruby meowed at me. Then I said to Ruby " Sorry Ruby, you have to stay here. Who knows what might happen to you on that spaceship. Take care of Rani too okay?"
Ruby snuggled herself against me and then walked off. I smiled and then I saw Germany run off with his pictonain costume " Attack!" Brandon followed after him, not saying anything about the costume. America exclaimed laughing " Hail the conquering hero!" As he ran.
" This is just stupid!" Jao Lan exclaimed.
" But it works!" Riana said, " Though this white suit is sort of disturbing."
" Double O ninja." England said launching his ' spy' mood.
" Wait for me!" Syrian exclaimed.
" I can't believe I look amazing!" France exclaimed as he ran.
" No you don't, we all are weird pictonians!" Alyan exclaimed after Syrian.
" I go sprint aru!" China exclaimed
" Relax guys, it's not leaving so soon." Steve said as he walked quickly.
" I'll be right there." Russia said, in the same fas-walking pace as Steve. Japan ran past him and said " I'm learning to battle."
" I can't believe I'm doing this!" I exclaimed then ran towards the gang in my weird pictonain suit.
" You're telling me!" Ariel said as she tried to catch up with me. I blinked, she was running fast than expected.
" Hey! You improved! You are running faster now." I said.
" Really? That's great! Where's Italy?" Ariel said looking around. I looked behind me to see Italy said, waving his white flag " I'll wait for you guys here." I sighed and ran back, Germany did the same almost instantly.
" Italy! You're coming inside with us." Germany commanded. Italy started to sweat and become scared. " What? But I would rather not. I mean walking into the enemy's spaceship is kind of reckless to me. Besides I don't want to get my costume all dirty!" I sighed, Italy…
" Fine, then stay here alone." Germany said and ran off. I blinked and then said " Germany!"
" Kristina, you will stay here with me right?" Italy asked.
" No, I didn't wear this costume for nothing. Come on." I said, offering my hand. Italy nodded, took it and I pulled him towards the converter belt where everyone was. I let go of Italy's hand and said " Italy's got to guts to come along."
" I was sort of forced to do it…" Italy murmured.
" Hey Kristina, what happens after we get inside the UFO? It did happen in the movie right?" Ariel asked.
" Yeah, this is part of the story so all of us would end up in the UFO ether way." I said as we travelled up the conveyer belt. " When we get in we are suppose to divide into different groups to find the weaknesses. But we have to be careful, we don't want to get caught. Even if we do something will prevent us from doing so."
" Really? What is that?" Germany asked. But we were already at the end of the conveyer belt and got unto the UFO. The UFO closed the door behind us. Syrian freaked out and exclaimed " Wait! How are we going to get back out?!"
" I wanna go home!" Alyan exclaimed,
" Is this scary…" Ariel said.
" Relax, I'm sure we can find a way out." Japan said.
" Woah, we do need to split into groups." Jao Lan said, awed. We looked around. The UFO's huge! It was like a donut, but completely white. Seeing so much white actually gives me a headache. Then the UFO started to rumble and most of us stumble unto the ground, except Russia, Steve and Germany. We must have taken off.
" Come on, let's get moving. Follow the hero!" America said then he walked towards a tunnel. We had no other choice but to follow him. We all kept close to the wall like what America did, soon we came to another donut shaped room. When America entered the room, nothing happened. He looked at us and ordered " Okay now do exactly as I say. Russia and Steve you should back me up. China and Syrian should back me up too, you too Jao Lan. And Germany-"
Then Germany pulled out 16 sticks. America stopped talking when he saw the sticks " I will take Kristina's advice since it is how the story is suppose to go. And it is a good tactic. Pick a lot, find your group and start searching. Red is information to find on the ship, Blue is to shut down the machine which turns everything into nobera blob and green saves the human pictonans."
" Don't ignore me!" America exclaimed. We all picked our sticks. They were painted in three colours: Red, Blue and Green. I got the Green stick. " Yay Kristina! You are with us!" Italy cheered, I looked at my group… I was with the Axis. Well that was sort of predicted. England and France was cursing at their sticks… they were in the same group. Riana and Alyan were also in the same group but they didn't mind each other. The rest was paired off into groups. Syrian was upset she had to travel with Jao Lan.
" Okay, we'll go in different directions. We'll meet here again once we've found something. Move out." Germany commanded and we all split into various directions.
Unknown P.O.V
England and France were just staring at their red sticks, Alyan and Riana slowly walked behind them. " Damn it, the last person I want to pair up with is with you." England murmured.
" "Excuse moi? Stop stealing my light!" France said.
" Stop arguing you two, we're in enemy territory!" Riana said.
" Yeah, what she said." Alyan said.
" Shh!" England shushed. " Quickly, follow me." England grabbed Riana and pulled her away. France grabbed Alyan and pulled her after England and Riana. They went into a room which automatically opened for them and they hid behind the door.
" What was-" Alyan was about to talk when England shushed her again. Alyan stayed quiet. Riana looked through the window. She kept quiet as she saw the pictonians in the hallway walk by. It was pure silence among them. After they left, the door opened and they peeked out.
" Phew, that was a close one." France said.
" Yeah… that was scary." Riana said.
" True, but we won't allow them to capture us so easily. Now let's go and find some information shall we?" England said then ran off. Riana and Alyan followed after him.
" Hey, don't tell me what to do you bossy pants." France said but went after them.
In another part of the ship, Russia, Steve, Syrian, China, Jao Lan and America were walking in a certain direction. America spoke up " Okay dudes, the ship's crackpot like grotto yo."
" We can distort the switch to the pictonain's light beam." China said.
" But where is the switch?" Syrian asked.
" Looks like we are about to find out." Jao Lan said. Then, at the end of the hallway, three pictonians were walking towards their direction. America, China, Jao Lan and Syrian freaked out. Jao Lan nearly screamed if America didn't cover his mouth.
" Camouflage!" Syrian said. The four smacked themselves unto the wall, their face smacking the wall. Xiao Ai hid in China's basket. Yes, China brought Xiao Ai along. Yes, Xiao Ai itself was wearing a pictonian suit. They trembled in fear. Russia and Steve on the other hand walked pasted the four. " Never show the enemy the fear." Russia told them. Steve just walked silently. America, Jao Lan, China and Syrian watched the two in fear.
As Russia and Steve walk past the pictonians, the pictonains never recognise them. They just went on limping past them. America, China and Syrian were surprised. Jao Lan was too scared of the pictonians to bother. America, China, Syrian and even Xiao Ai who looked out of it's basket, watched as the pictonians passed them. The four sighed… Jao Lan didn't relax. He was still facing the wall.
" So I guess, they can't tell we're different?" America said.
" Must be, oi! Jao Lan!" Syrian said then exclaimed.
" Are they gone?" Jao Lan asked. America pried Jao Lan off the wall and said " Yes, they can't recognise us with these suits. Russia and Steve proved that to us."
" Hey, aren't we suppose to catch up with them aru?" China asked. The looked around the hallway, Steve and Russia were far ahead. The four ran after them to catch up.
Kristina's P.O.V
We were running quickly. Germany saw a huge crowd of pictonians going through this tunnel, they could have been the human pictonains. Italy, who was confused, asked " Hey guys, what are we doing?"
" We are going to rescue the humans that have been turned into pictonians. I said it before when we were choosing our groups." Germany told Italy.
" Oh, so that's what we were doing. I didn't quite catch that before." Ariel said.
" We're looking for housing facilities they must be in here somewhere." Japan said.
" But what will we do when we find them? How will we find a cure?" I asked.
" We'll just have to figure that out when we get there." Brandon said.
" But won't they attack us anyhow?" I asked.
" We'll capture one first and then fine a cure." Germany said " We are not going to get all of them at once though I prefer it that way."
We were about to turn around the corner when we saw a large group of pictonians in our way. We stopped in our tracks. Italy looked over our shoulders to get a closer look. Ariel squeaked and said " Whoops, wrong direction!"
" Go go go!" I whispered loudly. We all hid behind the hall. Damn… what are we going to do. Japan looked up and said " Germany, over there." Then he pointed up to the ceiling to a grill. Some tunnel above? That's our way of escape!
" Who's the smallest?" I asked.
" Brandon, you go up first." Germany said.
" Why do I have to be among tall people…" Brandon grumbled. But he stepped on Germany's shoulder who pushed him up with ease. Brandon quickly pushed away the grill and somehow jumped into it. Germany looked like he was hurt be didn't flinch much. Ariel was next. She got unto Germany's back then shoulders. It was hard for her to stand on his shoulders.
" Hurry!" I whispered. Brandon reached out his hand and Ariel took it. It took some time for Ariel to get up but she did it. Thanks to Germany's training, I could get up into the dark vent easily, but not fast enough. I had to be pulled by Brandon and Ariel into the dark and dusty vent. Italy went next, even though he was taller than Japan who I thought was next. Japan got up and then with our help, Germany got up and closed the vent. It wasn't very big to fit all of us.
" What do we do now?" I asked.
" Ve~ it's so dark! I'm scared!" Italy exclaimed.
" Shh! It's okay Italy… it's okay." I said, trying to calm Italy down.
" Do you think we can get to the living quarters this way?" Brandon asked.
" We should, I think we should go this way." Germany said, pointing behind him.
" Can we start crawling? I'm getting cramped in here…" Ariel said in her uncomfortable position.
" Maybe I should take back on my comment of not being so tall." Brandon said.
" Let's get going." Germany said then he crawled. We all crawled after him
Unknown P.O.V
France, England, Riana and Alyan watched in a hidden as three pictonian with files under their arms leave a room and walk away. " They are files." France said " Is that the information room."
" Yeah, come on." England said. The four ran to the door and the door automatically opened for them. They walked into the room. The room was nearly empty. The walls were filed up with various cabinets, containing much information But in the centre of the room was a hologram of the earth, floating in a anti-clockwise motion. Alyan and Riana were awed by this scene. France and England gasped along with the two girls.
" Well it's just a poor swollen blue ball." France said.
" It's not a ball, it's a hologram of the earth." Alyan corrected France.
" They are probably using it for their battle plans." England said.
" So the white ones are the ones they have already attacked and the red dots are where they are currently attacking." France inferenced. Riana walked closer for a closer look. She saw all of south east asia taken over. Riana frowned… her homeland has been conquered by pictonians. Then Riana focused on europe. Oh no… Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and so many countries have been conquered. That must mean most of the countries have been turned into pictonians… so have the other ambassadors. Riana then looked at Alyan sadly. Alyan's face was starting to frown.
" Malaysia and all of south east asia is taken over. Most of the european countries too. That means most of the ambassadors have been turned into pictonians most likely. Including Alisha." Riana said. Alyan then looked like she was about to cry. France hugged her lightly and said " There there, I'm sure we can turn them all back into humans…"
" I know… it's just hard to know that Alisha, Bryan, Aria, Penny… all have been turned into pictonians…" Alyan said wiping her tears.
" Well at least we can do something about it." England said. Then he walked closer to the hologram globe. Then he touched the mainland of his own country. the globe stopped and a message came out. It was in a foreign alien language.
" I can't read it." England said.
" Obviously. It's in an alien language." Riana said, France and Alyan went closer to the globe.
" It's not human remember?" France said, letting go of Alyan.
" No worries, I've got a translator app." Engalnd said as he took out his phone and let it scan the message. Then the translation came up on his phone:
Britain
Used to be a pirate but now he rather a feminine and gentlemanly empire with a plethora of rain. France is a long time acquaintance. He often found bickering with for bickering sake. However in their hearts of hearts they love each other, sexually.
Britain has an ambassador named Riana. An animal loving girl who likes to write but knows Dojo. She's fat and often hangs out with her boyfriend Amir, the ambassador of a non-existing country.
The four were silent. They could not believe what they just read. Then England and France said at the same time " Um, where the hell did they get that?"
" What?! Amir's not my boyfriend?! He's just a friend of mine?! And is it really necessary to call me fat!?" Riana exclaimed.
" I didn't know you two guys were gay." Alyan said, slightly excited " I mean I know France could be but not you Britain."
Then France and Britain started accusing each other and strangling each other. Alyan and Riana freaked out and tried to pull their countries apart. " Guys! Stop this!" Riana yelled " Nether of you are actually gay! Now stop this before the pictonians-"
Too late. The door opened to reveal the pictonian. Alyan squeaked in fear and hid behind France. Riana stood frozen, letting go of England. Then England said " Perhaps this is not the time for bickering for bickering sake shall we?"
" I agree." France whispered. England let go of France and then " No fear my friends, in cases like this there is always a hidden door somewhere nearby."
" There is no such thing." Alyan said.
" Well, it's hetalia. You will never know." Riana said. Then a rope fell down between France and England from the ceiling. England looked at it and said " See, like that." France and Alyan got a little surprised.
" Yoink." England said as he pulled the rope. The floor gave way below the four of them, with the hole leading into a metal tunnel… or slide.
" Uh oh." Alyan said as they looked down. Then they all fell into the hole. The last words the pictonian heard from the four was France's voice " Idiot! We're falling!" The metal floor closed behind them into darkness.
Meanwhile, the control room door opened to let America, Jao Lan, China, Syrian, Russia and Steve in. The six walked into the room, their footsteps making loud sounds in the large room. There were several buttons all around the room, screens on the walls shinning bright colours. There was a huge glowing dome with several streaks of colours and flowers inside the glowing ball in the middle of them room. It seems like it could control something big, like the spaceship.
" It's so empty." Syrian said.
" No one's in here." China said.
" Maybe it's their lunch break." Russia suggested.
" Hm… they ether have big ego to think this place is safe or there's a trap here." Jao Lan said.
" True, we must be careful." Steve said.
" Perfect, now let's fine that big ball thing shooting lever." America said as he went to the machine, The other five did the same. They went to the small machines and look at the several tiny buttons.
" I don't know, there are so many levers anyone of them could be it." China said.
" Wild guess?" Syrian suggested.
" Best not, who knows what these buttons might do." Jao Lan said.
" Dude, seriously right?" America said.
" I think it must be this one here." Russia said. Jao Lan, America, China and Syrian looked at Russia and Steve. They were underneath the glowing ball, looking at this one big lever that had a red ball to grip. The both of them were staring at it.
" Well… it does make sense, since it looks crucial." Steve said.
" Yeah… it looks like it could be the one but…" America said as he went for a closer look. China went forward and said " Too easy, it has to be trap."
" Oh no, don't even think about it! Remember the last time that happened? Italy pressed the big button and look at us now!" Syrian warned as she went near.
" True, but it was him touching all the buttons and rain which cause the machine to be broken. The button Italy was going to touch would have turned on the machine." Jao Lan said as he went to the crowd.
" Oh relax, it's not like the floor's going to spontaneously fall if we do it." America said. Speaking of that, the english-french group is still falling through the tunnel.
" It might!" Syrian said. " It is hetalia."
" Well, what are we to do then?" Steve asked. Russia immediately pulled down the switch. Everyone except Steve went into shock. A long beep sound came and then the ball started glowing red. Red lights blinked around them as the low pitched alarms started to sound. then they heard a rumbling of feet.
" That's loud!" America said.
" I told you not to pull the switch! And did you listen to me? No you just had to do it!" Syrian exclaimed.
" Let's go!" China said and started to run. The other five followed him out of the control room and into the white corridor. They turned right and kept running. Huge crowds of pictonians were chasing after the six. The moment Jao Lan and Syrian, the two slowest runner among the six, saw the pictonians, they got scared, screamed and run. Especially Jao Lan who suddenly become a master sprinter.
" Wow, Jao Lan's surprisingly fast." Steve said.
" Must be adrenaline!" Syrian shouted beside Steve.
" Why won't these dudes let us get away?" America said.
" Now they could tell we are different!" China replied.
" I'm starting to feel to forget that side crap!" Russia said.
" No sh*t." Syrian said.
They turned around the sharp corner, getting tired, but suddenly France, Alyan, Britain and Riana fell out of the wall (finally) and the six ran into them. They all rolled down the hallway, tumbling and getting hurt by the cold floor. Finally their big rolling ball ( yes they were literally rolling like a ball) hit into a wall and they flew apart, hitting the wall before landing on the ground. Quickly the united allies with their ambassadors sat up and looked at the sea of pictonians. They were all paralysed with fear. They were also completely surrounded.
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Jao Lan screamed as he moved back, only to hit his head on the wall again. Alyan swore out loud.
" We're trapped!" Riana exclaimed.
" Wow guys. We almost lost them until you guys came out of nowhere and ruin everything so thanks a lot for getting us all cornered." America said.
" Oh shut up. You can't make this whole thing our fault!" England said. America looked at him.
" He's right, and I hate to put myself in this position to say that." France said.
" I guess it's our fault too." Steve said.
" I think we have different position of worry about." Russia said. They all looked at the incoming pictonians. Their green light started to grow brighter and brighter by the moment. Jao Lan was hiding behind America, grabbing unit his shoulder tightly. He was really scared of the pictonians.
" What do we do now?!" Syrian said.
" I don't know, anyone got ideas?" Alyan asked.
" Those green light are getting brighter aren't they?" England said.
" We're going to be turned into pictonians!" Jao Lan shouted loudly.
" Don't worry know, I'm sure those axis power guys will be here any second now." Russia said.
" But when?" Riana asked.
" Soon hopefully." Steve said. The glowing seem to be one glowing light now. It seems like any moment will be their last moment. Suddenly, they heard a cat's meow. The allies looked up at the ceiling. Now even the pictonians stopped their thing and looked up.
Kristina's P.O.V
We heard a loud beeping sound. We all looked around although there was nothing much to see other than metal walls and each other. " Damn it, the others must have tricked the alarm." Germany said.
" Shoot! At least we're up here right?" I said.
" That's a bad thing Kristina." Brandon said at the end of our long line.
" Sounds that way." Japan said " Let's hope everyone is still safe."
" Or still human." Ariel added. Suddenly we heard a cat meow. We all looked at Italy. It was Ruby! She was rubbing Italy's face with her face. Ruby seems happy. What in the world was she doing here?! Italy was smiling and said " That's nice."
" Italy!" Germany hissed " You ningcappoop! Why did you did you bring a cat with you?!"
" What? Ruby helps me to relax!" Italy said.
" Relax?!" Germany growled.
" Ruby! I told you to stay behind!" I said.
" Meow!" Ruby protested. I could understand, she didn't want to stay behind like Rani. She wants to help. I sighed and said " Oh Ruby…"
" Italy, give me the cat." Germany said. Italy and I became alerted and I said " Hey! Ruby's my cat!"
" Whatever, just pass me… Ruby. We can't let her distract us." Germany said. Ruby then got mad. Soon she got off Italy, ran past Japan and started to attack Germany.
" Ruby! Get down!" I exclaimed.
" What is going on?" Brandon asked.
" I'm not sure…" Ariel said.
" Damn the stupid cat! Get off me!" Germany exclaimed and moved around. Ruby was continuously scratching Germany's face.
" RUBY! STOP!" I commanded.
" Ruby! Ruby!" Ariel called out.
" Please! Stop struggling." Japan said to Ruby, but then Ruby started to attack Japan! There was so much chaos! Ariel and Brandon tried to climb past me to stop Ruby, Germany was struggling in the tunnel to get Ruby off him after Ruby was done with Japan. Italy tired to hide at the side but he got bruises from all this. Japan was trying to stay out of it too. I was yelling at Ruby to stop but she didn't listen.
" Stop! It's going to-" Japan said but it was too late. All our struggling and yelling cause the metal floor beneath us to give way. We all fell unto the ground below, I hit my head and body hard on the ground. Ouch! That hurt! It really hurts! I slowly got up and looked around.
Germany, Japan, Italy, Ariel and Brandon sat up, they seem fine. Ruby was now snuggling in Germany's arms. Looks like Ruby forgave Germany… after scratching his face so many times. I saw the rest of the group, all staring at us in shock. Jao Lan was hiding behind America, gripping his shoulders in fear. I then saw the sea of pictonians. All of them staring at us. I then knew… we were surrounded. Italy and Ariel trembled in fear. Even I was struck with fear. Calm down… calm down Kris… I'm scared…
" Welcome to the party." England greeted us, but not cheerfully. " Thanks for nothing."
" Meow…" Ruby meowed, as if to say she's sorry. Then the ran into my arms I held her tight. Ruby looked up at me with worry.
" You couldn't think of anyplace to fall at moment." China said.
" Good timing…" Alyan said.
America laughed out loud then said " At least they stopped them for a sec, now we can all die together!"
" Don't make it sound so cheerful…" Brandon said.
Unknown P.O.V
Meanwhile, in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Kyanna and Sam were having a picnic. Liechtenstein had made sandwiches for the picnic. Sam was gobbling down a lot of, making Kyanna tell him to slow down and leave some for the rest of them. There were also fruits and a bunch of other things.
" Big brother, what do you think?" Liechtenstein asked.
" I think… it taste like sandwich." Switzerland said.
" It's good!" Sam replied, taking another sandwich. " Don't let Switz neutrality judge you."
" Hey! Leave some for us!" Kyanna said. Then Sam started to choke on his sandwich, making Kyanna freak out. Liechtenstein, not noticing, said " Thank you, I'm glad you like it."
After a few moments of silence, Switzerland finally realised Sam's chocking and Kyanna clueless on what to do. He had to swoop in and save Sam then. The audience reading the story are set wondering when the four would realise the pictonian attacks.
Haha! Sorry for the cliffhanger, I really can't put a straight every time Jao Lan gets scared. Poor Germany, his face getting scratched. Yes, Brandon isn't that tall so imagine how he feels around the axis powers! I will post p3 and p4 soon! See ya later! :)
