Hetavania
Chapter 11
The small group warped to the Garden of Madness and were heading out. Italy stood still and grabbed Soma's coat sleeve.
"You okay Feli?" Soma asked.
"Soma...I'ma scared of'a what she might do to'a you." he said. "I'a don't want to'a lose my'a new friend."
Soma put his hand on Italy's head and smiled slightly.
"As long as you guys are with me, I'll fight against her tricks." Soma said.
"Ve~ Promise?" Italy said with a smile.
"I promise." Soma said smiling.
The curl on Italy's head formed into a heart again catching Soma's attention and he thought, must be normal. They went through the garden and had to kill the enemies in the way including a giant slug monster. Soma used the magic seal to unlock the door. They all ran in and stopped, Soma looked slightly surprised but it turned to shock.
"Mina!" he yelled.
"Soma!" the girl yelled back.
"It certainly wasn't easy spiriting the girl away, Arikado had her well guarded." Celia said.
"Ret her go!" Japan said drawing out his sword.
"Only a vile person would hurt an innocent young lady." England said.
"Stop'a it!" Italy yelled.
"Soma, say good bye to your loved one." she said pointing her hand up.
"Stop!" He yelled as she fired a thin beam of light that shot through Mina's heart.
"So...ma..." she said before dying.
Soma clenched his fist becoming very angry at Celia.
"You...You heartless Wench!" he yelled.
Italy stared at him becoming slightly shocked as Soma became as pale as a ghost, his skin an unnatural white. Dark magic began to flow into Soma.
"I was right, the power of chaos is gather. Continue to hate me, and when you have enough hate, the new dark lord will emerge." she said with a smirk.
"If it means revenge for Mina then I'll do it." Soma said with a smirk.
Italy, Japan, and England grew concerned as Soma seemed to be losing himself. Norway finally spoke up having confirming his suspicions that this was a trick.
"I'm afraid not." Norway said. "Clever using a Doppelganger to copy this friend of Soma's."
Soma unclenched his fist staring at Norway when he said that. Celia glared at Norway and fired another beam but this time at Norway. Japan shoved Norway getting grazed across the arm.
"He's right, Mina is still safe." Arikado said.
"You are ruining everything!" Celia proclaimed.
"Urgh..."Soma fell to his knees and the dark energy was coming off of him as though it was smoke.
"Soma?" Italy said with concern.
The dark energy shot out of Soma making him stand up and the energy went into the Doppelganger. The Doppelganger floated off the tree and became Dmitrii much to the shock of Italy, Japan, Soma, and Arikado. When the dark energy was out of Soma, he fell back onto his knees. Italy caught him before he almost collapsed.
"My, what luck that this body was here to replace my other body." Dmitrii said.
"Dmitrii!?" Celia said in surprise.
"What did you do to Soma-san?" Japan said glaring at him.
"Simple, do you remember what my power is?" Dmitrii said smirking.
"You didn't..."Arikado said.
"It was a gamble but when his emotions shifted I was able to get loose and I touched the boy's soul. I have copied his power." Dmitrii said.
"You copied the power of Dominance?" Celia said.
"Yes, now, let us go, I must gain dominance over countless monsters in order to complete it." he said.
"I won't allow it!" Arikado said with a frightful glare.
"I'd be careful if I were you, I have also seen this boy's memories, very interesting really." Dmitrii said. "Unless you want the boy to die you'll back off."
"I was wrong about you Soma Cruz, I only see death in your future." Celia said.
She and Dmitrii disappeared and Arikado walked forward a bit.
"Soma, leave this to Julius and I. Especially after what you have just been through." Arikado said.
"I can't, he copied my power and this could put my friends in harms way. I can't allow that." Soma said.
"Very well, come to the Condemned Tower when you are ready." he said before walking away.
Norway used his magic to heal Japan's arm, Italy and England helped Soma stand up.
"Are you okay?" England asked.
"Yeah." Soma replied as Italy suddenly hugged him.
"I'a was so scared when'a you'a started to become someone else!" Italy said.
"Sorry I worried you." Soma said.
"This Mina-san must be very important to you if you were wirring to become the dark rord to avenge her." Japan said.
"Yeah...Are you okay Kiku?" he asked.
"Hai, its just a smarr wound." Japan replied.
Soma looked around the room and found something.
"Norway, is this the book you're looking for?" Soma asked.
Norway took the book half and looked at it.
"Ja, this is the other half. We can summon Romania here and fix the book." Norway said.
"What are we waiting for chaps? Lets get to a mirror." England said.
They walked to the warp room because Soma was still slightly weakened from what had just happened barely even a while ago. They warped back to the Lost Village and walked to the mirror that he showed them earlier and it sparked to life as Italy helped Soma sit down.
"Romania, we found the book half." England said. "Well, Soma actually found it."
"Good, Norway can read the spell that will bring Germany, Denmark, and I there and we can help you until the book is fixed." Romania said. "After the book is fixed, we will leave."
Italy didn't like the idea of abandoning Soma to face the rest of the bad guys alone. Norway read the portal spell which opened a portal but it would only allow three to enter. Germany, Denmark, and Romania walked through. Germany walked over to Italy and Japan asking them if they were okay, Denmark went to see if Norway was okay only to get his tie pulled. Romania walked over to Soma and England.
"E drăguț să te cunosc Soma. I am Romania."
"Nice to meet you." Soma said shaking his hand.
"Vhat happened to Japan's sleeve?"
"You must be Germany, its kind of a long story." Soma said.
Soma explained what happened and Germany didn't look too happy but he didn't say much since Italy and Japan were safe.
"Getting straight to the point, what are your human names?" Soma asked.
"You can call me Matthius."
"Stupid Dane." Norway said yanking on Denmark's tie again.
"Gak!"
Soma blink and then looked at Germany.
"Ludvig is my human name."
"Nice to know, and your name Romania?"
"Vladimir."
"Oh, why don't you ask Yoko to help you three repair the book? She knows magic too and we're about to go upgrade our weapons and buy supplies." Soma said.
"An excellent idea. Germany and Denmark can take England and Norway's place to help you fight." Romania said. "But if you need use we will be there in a flash."
They went to Yoko's place and she upgraded their weapons and agreed to help Romania, Norway, and England restore the spell book but it would take some time. Norway looked at Soma.
"If this dumb Dane annoys you a lot, just yank on his tie." Norway said.
"Got it." Soma replied.
Once the weapons were upgraded, Soma's sword was at its highest level possible. They bought Germany a gun but Soma told him that it would be better to have a different weapon.
"Nein, I vill choose the gun." Germany said.
"But'a Germany, Soma can'ta upgrade a gun with'a monster souls."
"This vill do just fine." Germany said.
Deciding not to argue, they headed to a warp room to get to the Dark Chapel. Soma had opened a path to the tower from the Dark Chapel. Its a straight shot there. With that, they warped away.
