Hey guys! I apologize for taking so long to update. Been busy with life, politics and stuff. Anyways, it's time to continue this story and get to the more interesting part of it. There is more to come. Review please!
Luca heard a banging knock on the door. He opened it with the biggest and most welcoming grin.
"Hello! May I help you? Oh, hey Russia! Long time no see!" Luca greeted happily before the barrel of the gun was pushed onto his head. "Ah, some things never change, do they?"
"Where's Belarus?" Russia asked in a deep, yet threatening tone.
In the other room, Erika heard the voice of whom Luca called Russia, but he didn't sound like the Russia from her world. Though the Russia in her world was scary, she personally found Russia to remind her of a big teddy bear. This one did not, not even close. This one sounded more like a leader of the stereotypical Russian Mafias. Erika crouched on the ceiling, peeking from behind the wall of the hallway. This Russia definetly looked nothing like the Russia from her world. This one had brown hair and brown-black eyes. He also wore some brown military outfit she recognized from the days when Russia was part of the USSR.
"Belarus? What happened? Is she not with you or bae?" Luca asked with his optimistic and full-of-energy personality.
"No, she's not with her bae?" Another voice replied, who appeared next to Russia with an automatic rifle in his hands. He pushed himself in front of Russia, speaking boldly to his face. "You see? This asshole doesn't know squat. We're wasting our time!"
"Lithuania?" Erika muttered.
Lithuania, the one from this world, turned his head to spot the small, petite girl on the ceiling. This Lithuania had the same color hair and eyes, but his hair was short, face rough and wore a black-blue military uniform with the hat to match it. This Lithuania, compared to the one Erika knew, was shier and more fearful of Russia. This one wasn't afraid to talk back to this version of Russia, who looked more scary by comparison.
Speaking of Russia, this version pushed Lithuania aside, staring directly at Erika, who hide herself. She curled in a ball, then closed her eyes tightly in fear.
"Looks like you were wrong, once again," Russia smirked, staring at Luca with a dangerous and threatening glare. "You were hiding something from me."
A gunshot was heard as Russia instantly dropped his gun, blood spilling onto the carpet from his wrist. He began shouting curses in Russian as Erika gasped, then looked directly at where the gunshot came from. It was from the barrel of a pistol in Emma's hands as she quickly reloaded.
"I thought I told you that the next time you point a gun at my brother, you'd be shot!" Emma glared, pointing her gun directly at Russia's head. "Also, we are hiding nothing from you. Her name is Erika. She came here by mistake and has no idea how to get back. If you want to know where Belarus is, she's likely in Wonderland where Erika lives, along with everyone else that disappeared."
"So, Belarus isn't the only one?" Lithuania asked.
"No," Emma replied simply.
"Grr where is my sister?" Russia asked, his voice sounding as threatening as before. He clutched onto his bloodied wrist.
"It's as Emma said... she's probably in my world. I'm... I'm sure my big brother will find a way to bring me back," Erika said fearfully.
"You seem to know a bit about this world you say my sister was taken," Russia replied with a smirk as he got out his gun, then pointed it at Erika's head. "Why don't you tell me how to get there?"
"I-I don't know! I don't even know how I got here! Please, put the gun down!" Erika pleaded.
"Do you really think interrogating her is going to get us anywhere? Maybe you would like for some asshole to point a gun at Belarus too, while you're at it!" Lithuania snapped at Russia.
Russia proceeded to turn his head and glare at Lithuania, slowly pointing the gun at his head before showing a dark, threatening glare. He said, "I dare you to say that again."
"Just another bullet to the head," Lithuania.
"STOP THIS!" Erika cried, pushing Russia by the back of his shoulders, who easily toppled over. In a single second, he landed on the ground, turned, then proceeded to shoot Erika, who ran before he could make a clear shot.
Erika screamed, while running toward the front door. Emma ran for Erika, knowing she wasn't thinking ahead. Realizing what she was doing and trying to stop herself, Erika tripped on the top part of the door trim. Just as she began falling toward outside, Emma and Erika grabbed a hold of their hands in time. The girls began hovering over the ground, slowly taking off into the air as Erika began screaming in pure terror.
"Oh my god! OH MY GOD!" Emma screamed, looking down and watching as she watched her feet barely hovering over the ground. "ERIKA, DON'T LET GO!"
Erika heard Emma, then began panting, feeling so scared that she never dared to let go. She looked up and watched as Emma's feet were hovering above the ground. They were flying. Emma looked toward the wooden fence, then used her feet to stop herself and Erika from crashing onto it. Both girls were breathing heavily, not being sure whether to be scared or excited. It was the kind everyone got after getting off of a roller coaster. It was scary and exhilarating.
"Are you alright!?" Emma asked Erika.
"A bit. Did we just fly?" Erika asked, almost out of breath.
"I think we did."
"Emma, Erika, are you girls alright!?" Luca asked, looking as if he just recovered from a heart attack.
"What the hell was that!?" Lithuania asked, practically freaking out.
"I don't know, but I can't hang on for long!" Emma glared as Luca ran to the girls, then took Erika by the arms, pulling her down, then holding her firmly by the waist.
"That was too close," Luca said, carrying Erika back inside the house.
"How did we... I..." Emma muttered, staring at her sweating and reddened hands.
"Your weight is the same and the pull of gravity from the both of you is also the same. So... perhaps when you grab hold of each other, it's as if there is no gravity pulling you," Lithuania guessed, staring up at the sky.
Emma stared up at the sky, remembering how her and Erika took off above the ground. They would not fall into the sky, but was it possible that they would still slowly fly to the sky like a balloon? If so, was there any way to float back down? These questions both made Emma excited and terrified. A part of her wanted to try it again, but the other part feared of what would happen, if they tried. There was a good chance they would never return back to solid ground.
America had some time to think about the events that happened, since Allen came to his place. He remembered when they were hovering above the ground, then when he barely hoped, they were flying about ten feet into the air. It was scary and exhilarating, but it brought many questions into America's head. Why did they jump so high. It was like there was no gravity or barely any. He decided he needed to talk with someone about this that might be able to help him.
Getting out his mobile phone, America dialed Japan's number, hoping to hear from him.
"Kon'nichiwa, this is Japan speaking. I am not here at the moment, but if you could leave your name, number and message, I would be greatful. Thank you," America heard the voice message as he sighed. As soon as America heard the beep, he began speaking.
"Yo Japan, this is America. When you get back from whatever, could you call me? Thanks, buddy," America responded in the voice message before hanging up, then sighing.
Hopefully, when Japan got America's message, he would call back and they could figure this no gravity thing. There was just one problem, Japan had no experience in calculating in no gravity atmospheres. He needed someone that could help in that department. A smirk came upon America's face as he dialed the number of the first person America knew for sure would be able to help him in this.
"Zdravstvuyte, kto eto?" Russia asked, sounding very tired at the moment from dealing with Natalia, who still didn't trust Natasha and was making it hard for him to care for the poor girl for the time being. Being he was talking in his native language, he never bothered checking his Caller ID.
Seeking this as a perfect opertunity for a prank, America smirked, replying, "Ya, Diyavol kotoryi khochet osvobodit' tebya ot sanktsiy."
Russia's eyes widened, then blinked, then said, "kak?"
America burst into laughter, then asked, "did you just say 'cock'!?"
Russia sighed, then said, "prevyet, America."
"Oh my god, did you just- you totally said 'cock,'" America laughed, so hard that he was shedding tears.
"If you only called me to make a vulgar joke, I'm hanging up."
"No-No-No, wait, I did call you for something important!" America promised.
"Say it."
"Okay, okay, but seriously, did you really say 'cock,'?"
Russia sighed, "goodbye, America."
"Alright! Alright! I'm done. Okay, so did you know about this whole thing with a few countries from another world coming into ours with their center of gravity being upside down?"
"Da. Has England found way to send them back?"
"No, but I just discovered that if the person upside down and the person right-side up were to hold hands, then go outside, it's like there's no gravity. They can jump and fly up into the air like jumping in space. I was wondering if there's a chance this can be used as a way to help the countries having problems with falling into the sky getting around and such."
Russia's eyes began widening slightly, then thought for a while. Yes, this could be a great advantage. If one was to calculate the amount of weight placed on someone like Natasha, she could use this to travel places. In fact, if Natalia was to agree to help, with a certain amount of weight, she could help Natasha hop from place to place without falling into the sky. America was onto something.
"Da, that could work. Were you thinking of making something with me?"
"And Japan. He's good with the technical stuff, I'm good with coming up with the bright ideas and you're good with other technical stuff I tend to forget."
"And stirring up propaganda like the time we dined at Dunkin Donutes, da?"
"You gotta admit, that was hilarious."
"Da, it was. I don't plan on repeating that again, comrade."
"Oh co'mon, everyone knows that story was nothing but a big nothing burger and this isn't the 1970's anymore! It's not like you're going to be banned from Disney Land!"
"May I remind you the time my Ambassador had a meeting with-"
"Look, I totally got this! I still have Japan on call, let's all meet at your place. Somewhere secluded where we won't get in trouble with the News media. I'll bring you ice cream."
"... fine."
"Awesome dude!"
"... why am I agreeing to this again?"
"October 24, 1863."
"Really?"
"Da."
"Fine, but the time I hear propaganda coming from your country about us, I'm out."
"Got it! Totally under control! Anyways, see you dudes lata!" America said, hanging up as Russia sighed, hanging up his phone.
"1863 huh? Some things never change, da," Russia replied with a childish smile.
Zdravstvuyte, kto eto? - Hello (formal), who is this?
Ya, Diyavol kotoryi khochet osvobodit' tebya ot sanktsiy. - This is Lord Devil here to release you of your sanctions.
kak? - How?
