Hetaoni Clocks of Warped Time
Prologue: Beginning
Nationkind… since the dawn of civilization, has watched over and protected humanity. However this wasn't without benefits to them. Conditional immortality, super strength and healing and affinity for the supernatural that most humans didn't possess in the modern world. While for many years they ruled their own lands they handed over the reins to the humans they ruled over for many years after.
However after the second world war Germany's personification Ludwig Beilschmidt had enough of the world wars and many agreed. Germany knew he couldn't afford another Adolf Hitler or another world war and neither could the rest of the world. So he sought out allies that understood where he his point of view and the need for things to change. The first he found wouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knew him. It was his lover Feliciana Vargas understood and agreed with what Ludwig was saying. It was true the world couldn't afford another world war and feared that if nation kind didn't intervene another would come. Afterall if human's greed for power led to both world wars then what wasn't to say that it wouldn't lead into a third? Little did he know that she had other reasons but those wouldn't be learnt until very later on.
But of course they couldn't change things on their own… They would need more allies and they easily found many. The first allies after their closest friend Japan were surprisingly Russia himself and his sisters followed by the rest of the Soviet Union. Russia hated how the people in the territories he had as a part of the Soviet Union were treated and he wasn't afraid to make that known. Soon many nations joined them and by the time six months after the fall of the berlin wall came around most nations had their personification has their leaders.
The date was 8/15/1995… The personifications were having a world meeting in Japan that day. The G8 were going to do a team building exercise by holding a sleepover a Japan's house. At least that was the plan until some people who still believed that humans should be in control of the personifications attacked his house, but luckily America found something else they could do while the NPSA or National Personification Security Agency investigated the incident. America had heard rumors that had piqued his and the other G8 member's interest. Apparently there was a haunted mansion three hours by walk outside the town.
Meanwhile, in the Second world has the few nations that were aware of them called it Luciana Vargas was sitting in her office impatiently has a woman looked into the first world. This woman's name was Marinella Macera. "Ma'am, all the 1P G8 has left for the mansion… What do you want me to do next?" she asked with a concerned tone. She wore a black dress that went down to her knees and had her dark brown hair down with green eyes. She had black dress shoes with white stockings that went to her knees and her hair done up in a high ponytail.
The woman in question just looked at her assistant with a curt nod. She was about the age of twenty-five years old and had brown hair with pink-violet eyes and Caucasian skin. There was a notable curl that sprang out from the right side of her head.
"Send the signal to Hiroshi to begin plan B phase one. It appears that Plan A failed. Oh well, it was expected to fail anyway regardless so that doesn't matter. Not to mention we have four other contingency plans ready too so it shouldn't be an issue. Be sure to tell the others about this so were on the same page Si?" Luciana replied with a smile.
"Si ma'am I'll get to that now." The young woman nodded and left the room to do has asked. She knew what her boss was talking about and knew that her boss's plan was for the best. There was a lot on the line after all having seen the aftermath of an incident involving that same place they had tried to keep the 1ps from going to.
Meanwhile Luciana looked out of her office window thinking about how this all started. About a month ago she and her friends went to an abandoned mansion to look into a reported monster sighting there. What they found was indeed a monster but much worse was the powers that the master of that house had. The power to warp time to his will and bend reality has well. They had secured that mansion and made sure that it was closed to the public, but it didn't work. It did for a time until the mansion had warped to an unknown location.
At first no one knew it was there then people in that town began to act strangely thinking that the mansion had been there for years but that wasn't the case. In fact town records even proved this but no one seemed to notice. What made it worse for them was the fact that due to the barrier that kept them separated from the First World that weren't able to do much about it. While they could communicate with his 1P Feliciana and her world Canadian personification that was it until recently.
The only benefit they've had from this whole situation was the fact that they had more time to research the barrier. Now that same research was being put to use to help save one of his boss's most important people, while most called them one and two p they called each other sisters. Everyone who worked for his family knew that if something came up and her 1p was calling for her to not get in her way or she would make you regret it.
The woman shook her head to dispel those thoughts from her mind. Now wasn't the time to think about what her boss would do when she got her hands on the man responsible for the trauma her 1P was going through. It was time to help her boss get to that point. She quickly entered her office and picked up a special phone that would allow her to contact First World.
Meanwhile in the first world at about 9:35 Am a group of high school students can be seen talking to one of them who is pacing the room. "Hiroshi calm down. Plan one is meant to fail. We have a lot of different plans to help out those people." A young girl with long black hair and gold eyes tried to calm her friend. She wore the typical female school uniform for Tsukiakari academy. It consisted of a light blue blazer over a white button with yellow buttons and a matching ribbon on the collar with a matching blue skirt with a yellow line in it. She also wore brown round glasses. Her name was Mari Kawatani, and she was a freshmen at her school.
"I know it's just that I want to make sure that they get out of this okay. If only we had been more careful about where we talked about the mansion then they wouldn't have heard about it." The young man that was pacing stated worriedly.
This young man's name was Hiroshi Inagaki. He was a young man of about fourteen years of age and attended Tsukiakari academy with Mari and the rest of their friends. He had silver hair with brown eyes which he wore a pair of blue framed round glasses. His outfit, like Mari consisted of the typical male school uniform for Tsukiakari academy. For males it consisted of a white dress shirt with a light blue blazer with yellow dress pants and a yellow tie. In addition to this he wore a sliver scarf that went down his waist.
To most of his classmates outside of his friends he was an ordinary high school student with a kind and moral soul, but his friends knew he was more than that. But they knew that Hiroshi preferred it to stay that way. They didn't blame him has they themselves preferred for it to stay that way themselves which was why when they talked about their group secret in Italian which Hiroshi taught them back in their third year of middle school.
"Yeah I know what you mean by that Hiroshi, but those guys are older than us by a long shot and have military training. Surely that will help them make it out alright." A young girl with long blue hair that went down to her waist with purple eyes replied. She too wore the Tsukiakari academy uniform. Her name was Anna Horakiawa, and she was in the same school as her friends but in a different class.
"I know it's just I wish that there was something that I could do to stop this. Maybe go back and rewind time to when we were talking about that place and make it, so he never heard us talk about it. I should have known that someone who knew Italian would hear us one day. We knew that there was a world meeting here in Japan today." Hiroshi pointed out with a frown.
"Ture, but we didn't know it would be here in Inaka you know that the personifications only tell us the country the meeting is in and nothing else. There was no way you would know that Lady North Italy would be here or that she would be passing by us. Besides it no like Italian is a common language here either." Another boy with black hair and green eyes stated he was named Kazuya Shirashi commented.
"Yeah besides even if we did know the meeting was in this town we had no way of knowing that he would be in this part of town to being with. Ture he's well known to take a walk around the town the meeting in but that doesn't mean that he was automatically going to come here." Another girl the same age has Anna and Mari agreed. She had long brown hair and light brown eyes and was also a student of Tsukiakari academy. Her name was Megumi Uzukishiro and like her friends she was a first-year high schooler.
Another boy with blue hair and eyes nodded in agreement with his friends. "The guys are right Hiroshi. Besides even all of those fact considered you know who would find a way to trick someone into going to that place regardless of what we might have tried to do to keep that place secret." The boy named Shun Akiba pointed out with a calm tone.
Hiroshi sighed and sat down next to Mari. "Your right guys… I just hate that we're in a time loop again. I- We worked so hard to get out of it before. Over one thousand loops and years of planning for a way out and many mistakes…" Hiroshi trailed of has Mari placed her hand over his. Everyone knew that Hiroshi hated thinking about that horrid place they had foolishly went to in their first year of middle school.
"Hiroshi… don't worry I'm sure that everything will turn out fine… we just have to keep faith for now. Besides that other Ryuuzu that we met made a lot of plans so one of them is bound to work eventually." Smiled Mari with a calm tone. Suddenly Hiroshi's phone went off.
"Oh sorry I have to take this one. It's Luciana's secretary, she's probably calling with the results of plan A." Hiroshi sighed has he pulled out his phone. The rest of his friends went quite so that they could hear what was said.
"Hello Hiroshi-San, this is Marinella Macera High Secretary to the second personification of Northern Italy. I'm afraid to inform you that it has failed, and plan B needs to be enacted immediately. Please proceed to perform your part of the plan immediately." The secretary told the boy with calm and sad tone.
Hiroshi shuddered and nodded with a calm tone in his voice. "I understand enacting plan B phase one now…" Hiroshi said before hanging up seeing his friends already standing up having already correctly guessed what was going on. Hiroshi nodded calmly signaling that they had indeed guessed correctly, and they made their way through the town.
They made their way through the town until they arrived at a tall building. It was wear the world meeting was meant to be held that day. Normally no one but the nations and the staff of the building knew where the world conference was going to be when one was called. It was a safety measure that was meant to keep unwelcome ears from listening in.
It wasn't far from the restaurant that they had been to moments prior. They had set up shop at that restaurant due to its close proximity to the building where the meeting was set to take place. A strategic move meant to minimize the amount of time it would take to enact plan B phase one and allow them to monitor the situation closer to the action and report any differences in the timeline to Luciana and her team yet far enough that they wouldn't catch the attention of anyone who remembered the previous timelines.
"I can't believe this the first time we were able to slightly delay them from going and we still managed to miss them this is the thousandth time we've done this." A man who Hiroshi recognized from the previous loops cried to his friend. He had dark brown hair that was cut short barring a single curl on the right side of his hair with green eyes and a Caucasian skin tone. He wore a brown military uniform and had a tired and haunted look in his eyes. Hiroshi didn't blame him for that… he himself was still haunted by what happened and it had been two years since he had been to that place.
Hiroshi didn't know the man personally or have any knowledge of him beforehand but he still knew the man from the briefings that Luciana had given them that his name was Lovino Vargas national personification of southern Italy and older brother to the currant Ryuuzu no ko. He hadn't talked to him in any of the previous loops at this time but now that would change.
Afterall they would need him for the plans to work, in order to make sure that the rest of the personification of this world knew what they were dealing with they would need to hold a meeting with them to inform everyone about what was going on and allow for the necessary support on the outside of the mansion.
Every time there was a reset the things in the mansion (Which Hiroshi and the others preferred to call Onis) got stronger. Not only that but the currant Ryuuzu had never been outside the mansion except for the beginning of the loop when entering the mansion so he didn't know about the things outside the mansion since they normally weren't visible from the window for some reason that eluded Hiroshi and his friends. That meant that once he did manage to get to that point the master of the house (who they called Takuro since they didn't know his real name) could ambush her and her group. As a result of these factors outside support had become necessary a long time ago considering the situation. However the nations of this world wouldn't just believe a stranger's word.
Hiroshi decided to wait until Romano had calmed down enough to talk about the situation. While he didn't know the man well he knew that he could be temperamental in times like these. Hiroshi found himself unable to blame him for that either. Had he a sister or brother he'd probably feel the same.
Hiroshi decided to pass the time by looking at his journal and reviewing the list of things he needed to get done before this loop ended. The list included introducing Lovino to Luciana and the other 2ps along with their allies, making and getting some resources that they would need when they entered the mansion, making sure plan c preparations were ready if needed and more.
It didn't take long for Lovino to notice the boy staring at a similar journal to the one that he had seen in the visions that he'd get from his brother. Hiroki was still looking into his journal muttering to himself about what he knew when he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Oh sorry I was busy reading can I help… You." He started before realizing that it was Lovino.
"Where did you get that journal?" He asked in a completely serious tone so that it came out more like demand then a question. It wasn't one of anger, thankfully, but rather calmness with complete focus. That told Hiroshi that the man wouldn't drop the subject until he answered. Perfect for this situation if Hiroshi was being completely honest with himself. It meant that he'd have an easier time saying what he needed to say. It was the same reason that he didn't interrupt his conversation with Spain's personification earlier. He put his journal back into his school bag and turned to the Italian with a calm tone.
"The same place that your brother is right now. I'm trying to find a way to help him get his friends and himself out of there without anyone dying. He's determined not to leave without anyone. I can relate seeing has I went through the same thing not too long ago." Hiroshi replied in an equally serious tone to Lovino's.
Lovino studied the young teen's eyes to see if he was telling the truth. While he had a slight ability to tell if one was lying by listening to them he preferred to be able to check in case he ever encountered someone with the ability to counteract it. "What's your name kid?" He asked in a serious tone that was slightly calmer than before.
"Ah pardon me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Inagaki Hiroshi, and I am a first-year student at Tsukiakari academy and former Ryuuzu No Ko. It's a pleasure to meet you Lovino-Sama." The young boy introduced himself formally. One of the rules when knowingly interacting with a national personification, especially when it was the personification of your own country was that you always spoke to them with respect and formality. They were your superiors and knew better than you from their millennia of experience in most case and it was never wise to go against their judgement.
"Former, so you escaped from that place before?" Lovino asked with a frown. The thought of a human going through what his brother was currently concerned him greatly.
"Yes and I am far from the first and I unfortunately will likely not be the last…" Hiroshi was going to say more but then a loud terrible scream ranging through the air. Hiroshi and Lovino turned out only to hear the loudest scream they had ever they had ever let out. Turning to find the sources In the distance they could see a gray monster killing a group of innocent people…
