Hetavania

Chapter 5

England was fasinated how fast they could get from one location to another using a warp room. Italy's stomach rumbled and Japan looked up.

"Soma-san, may we stop to eat something?" Japan asked.

"I don't see why not, lets go the the room with the angel statue." Soma said.

They went to the healing room and sat down. Soma reached into his bag and pulled out food, he fixed four plates of curry and handed a plate to Italy, Japan, and England. He had one for himself too.

"Ve~ Is'a there any pasta?" Italy asked.

"Sorry Feli, some monsters here do drop food as prizes for beating them, but not all of them do." Soma said. "This is the best I can do."

Italy pouted a little but ate the curry.

"Soma-san, this is rearry good." Japan said.

"Thanks Kiku." Soma said.

"Well if you think that's good, try one of my scones Soma." England said holding up a bag holding what looked like black hockey pucks.

Italy and Japan froze.

"That's a scone? Is it supposed to be black?" Soma said.

"They always turn out that way, but they are really good." England said.

Soma took one out of the bag and took a bite before Italy or Japan could stop him. A moment of silence passed but it was apparent how bad the scone was as the upper part of Soma's face turned a shade of blue. Soma threw his hand to his mouth rushing out of the room. Soon he came back in with his hand over his stomach.

"Arthur...These things could count as...urp...weapons." Soma said. "Really wish I had a monster's soul that would allow me to eat these without being affected."

England was sulking now while Italy and Japan helped Soma. When they visited Yoko, she wondered if Soma was okay and England offered her a scone. She was going to accept when Soma pulled her to the side.

"If you value your health, don't eat it." he said.

"Uh...Okay, anyway, what can I do for you?" Yoko asked.

They looked to see if there was any upgrades they could make on their weapons. Unfortunately, there wasn't much they could do at the moment so they left and went to Hammer's shop and bought some supplies. When they had what they needed, they warped to the Dark Chapel and headed downward. They faced a monster called The Creature and defeated it moving on to an area that was still part of the Dark Chapel but it looked more like a bloody dungeon.

"Where'a are we at?" Italy asked shivering a bit.

"The Dark Chapel." Soma replied. "Though it doesn't look like it."

"Are you serious?! This place looks like a bloody dungeon!" England said. "Literally."

"I know, but there's no name for this area. From here we have to head, downward to the area called Subterranean Hell." Soma said. "Probably means its a cavern with a lot of water."

"A cavern in this prace? Werr, I guess it rearry isn't much of a surprise after arr that we've seen so far." Japan said.

They had to follow Soma, being unaware just of what monsters were down there. But considering it was a cavern, the possibilities are endless. One things for sure, it must mostly consist of aquatic monsters. Passing past many monsters, they reached another boss door after battling against and Une, a Cave Troll, and a Dead Pirate.

"You guys ready?" Soma asked.

"Si~" Italy said.

"Hai, but I wonder what kind of monster it is we wirr be facing." Japan said.

"Lets just go in, we still haven't found Lukas." England said.

They all nodded and went inside only to fall in water, Italy looked down at something swiming under them. Its the monster of the sea known as Rahab. It jumped over them, and ice spikes formed in the air above them making them swim away from that area.

"Its hard to move in this area! How are we going to fight?!" England asked.

"We can still fight and hit it with weapons when it swims close to us!" Soma yelled.

"Hai, but be carefur not to ret go of your weapons!" Japan yelled.

Italy looked around the water as it swam under us. He kept moving away as it tried to freeze them with an icy shot. Soma used it to his advantage to gain footing on somewhat solid ground. Japan did the same thing and they both used a team slash to cut up Rahab and England used his magic to keep Rahab from moving. Italy only watched, but he felt more and more like a burden wishing there was more he could do to help than just heal and protect with a barrier. Soma and Japan finished off the monster and Soma gained Rahab's soul. England used a spell and with Soma's permission, they could share the ability of Rahab for as long as it was needed. They could also breathe under water without an issue, as they were about to move on, Soma noticed Italy was upset.

"Feli? You okay?" Soma asked.

"Huh? Ve, si, I'ma okay. Italy said lying.

Soma didn't buy it but also didn't pry, and they got going.

Meanwhile, a few of the countries were still sitting by the mirror waiting for any sign of Italy, Japan, Norway, and England. America, Denmark, and Romano were looking around the library for any sign of that mysterious figure they saw lurking about.

"Denmark? Romano? Did either of you find any clue?" America asked.

"No stupido! I'a haven't found a thing yet!"

Denmark was looking at a shelf with a big gap were two books were supposed to be and he picked up a book. It had a similar symbol to the book torn in half. However, the word on this said Judgement. Denmark didn't dare open the book after what happened to Norway, he put it back on the shelf and walked over hearing Romano and America arguing and he surprisingly got annoyed. So he pulled out a beer and then yelled.

"Kæft!" Denmark yelled making them both look up. "Right now we have more important things to do than argue!"

"Wow Denmark, you sound totally annoyed." America said.

"That'sa because he is annoyed stupido." Romano grumbled.

"Now then, it looks like our mysterious figure was after another one of those books. Why is the question." Denmark said.

They went and told Romania and he tapped his chin in frustration.

"But why go after the books, what's to gain from using them?" Romania asked.

They began to ponder on the questions no matter how tedious.

Down in the Subterranean Hell, Italy was staring at an Alura Une, a monster flower but out of the flower was the body of a woman with pink hair. Japan covered his eyes saying how indecent she was considering from the waist up, the Alura Une is naked. Not that she would care because well she's a plant monster.

"An Alura Une, a plant monster that has fattened off of copius pools of blood. You could say this is an Une that's really gained strength." Soma said.

"Ciao bella." Italy said taking both of her hands. "You'a must be freezing, want'a my jacket, it'sa very warm?"

Not only did Soma facepalm himself but the monster stared at him like he was crazy. The Alura Une made a row of five white roses appear and one struck Italy in the chest. It caused him to fall back as the white petals started to turn red. Soma attacked the Alura Une and killed it gaining its soul, now he could summon an Alura Une as a guardian.

"Feliciano! Are you okay?" Soma said helping him up.

The flower had died since the one who threw it was dead.

"Si, sorry." Italy said.

"Feri-san, this is why Soma tord you to be carefur because of the enemies. Rooks can be deceiving." Japan said.

"That's right chap. You must not forget that when facing monsters. Even if they are female monsters." England said.

Italy noddedand Soma sighed ruffling Italy's hair.

"You're naturally curious. Its funny but try not to make us worry." Soma said.

Italy, who had his eyes closed most of the time, actually blinked and then he smiled and nodded at Soma understanding. Now they left as there was nothing left they could do in the Subterranean Hell and the area after the Subterranean Hell was blocked by two pillars. But when a cannon ball was fired from a cannon at the pillars time stopped around them keeping the pillars from being destroyed. So, now they had to go up once again through the Dark Chapel to go to the Condemned Tower.
