"...cursed?" Sweden stared at his leg that was cracked beyond repair, afraid of what might happen to him.

"For what I know when adventuring with Philippines, there would be strange yet exoticing relics that will curse you when you touch it." Slovenia closed one eye, observing the space around him more.

"Have you ever come across something like this?" He showed a picture from a few days back that was taken by Philippines.

"I can't really remember.. my leg was like this since I was a child, but I'm pretty sure I did." Sweden's eyes never left his leg. His eyes and body quivering were not left unnoticed by Denmark.

"Hey..." Denmark tried to calm him down. They tried to inch closer but stopped when their eyes met with the nervous eyes of Sweden. It was the first time in a long time they had ever seen him like this.

"I don't really get it... his symptoms are slowing slower than the rest.." Tongo whispered, twirling her hair out of consciousness.

"Don't tell me that you're gonna do an experiment on him.."

"That's Kazakhstan's job, not mine -"

A portal suddenly opened behind Tonga. It was no other than Belgium herself, getting jumped at by an unknown.
Denmark stepped in front of Sweden out of instincts, preparing to take any blow from the two rowdy intruders.

The two fought over the hard floor, with Belgium twirling the figure over, hoping that she could reveal who she was fighting with to the crowd.

Unfortunately, the country grabbed her hand before she could fully show their face. Slovenia widened their eyes, seeing that familiar eyes, hair, and most importantly, the aura.

The unknown gave a grin, showing their sharp teeth before descending into the portal they created, dragging Belgium along too.

"You mother fucker! How dare you use my powers?!" Belgium screeched as they both got sucked into the portal.

"What the fuck."

...

"So..let me get this straight..." America rubbed zer nose temple, sitting directly in front of Russia. "You want us to send Y/N to a private school? You know they might get bullied?..."

Russia tore out a note paper from the stack and scribbling words down.

"Not just any private school? Do you mean England's school?" America sighed as ze tried to decipher the messy and small handwriting. "You're aware that Y/N is a grown adult, right?"

The country points at the basically confused adult playing with zer stars on the couch. They tickled a star from the 50, seeing whether it would react to the tickle.

'Do you care about their social life or their future?' Russia pasted the note on America's precious table with a hard slap.

"Treat my table with care!" America glared at the country directly in front of zem. Ze plucked out the note and stacked it up with the others, preparing to put it in the shredder.

"Woah, Twinky just emitted a small beam! Does the rest do that?" Y/N looked at the alien beside them, they looked at the star that they named 'Twinky' with amaze.

Alex tiredly clicked it's tongue, resting on Y/N's lap. The viking grabbed a star that was meant to represent the state of Florida and tickled it.

The star blew up, igniting a beam of a deadly laser at Y/N. With their quick reflexes, the young adult dodged the beam, letting it sink into the celling of the house.

"That's so cool! I'm naming you Sunny!" Y/N cooed, squishing the state of Florida. The other stars circled around them as Sunny let out another beam into the celling.

"MY FLOOR!?!?!" America's upstairs neighbour screeched, alerting everyone in the room. "Ow! It's burning hot too?!"

"Ah! Sorry Sire!!" America saluted the neighbour ontop, knowing that he had served the country as a soldier.

"It's always the damn countries..." The neighbour grumbled, walking off. Maybe to call the landlord? I dunno.

"Ugh.. is he trying to pick a fight?" America pulled up zer sleeves, preparing to call zer gang to meet up at car park at 7pm.

'That's why we should stay at a home where it's close to nature.' Russia wrote the note with a smug grin on her face.

"We're not staying close to nature, you're gonna bring home some unidentified animals back home." America huffed, causing Russia to grumble lowly.
"Right.. how do I explain to Y/N that we're going to enroll them to a school?"

(Philippines point of view)

I stopped at the sight of the beautiful scenery, my hand slowly and unconsciously reached for the camera hanging on my neck.

'No Philippines! Remember your mission! Find any clues!' I closed my eyes, trying to control the urge to take a picture. 'Just a snap!'

Succumbing to my needy self, I sat on the tree brach, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

"..." Yeah, having second thoughts now.

'A bird? Sweet!' I held my breath for the moment.

*click!*

I squealed, taking the photo out of the camera out only for it to set on fire by my hand. "..."
I stared blankly at the burning photo of the scenery.

Took me awhile to realise that the forest around me is burning too.

"How do I even find the clues now..?" I sighed, rubbing my burning hand on my forehead. I sat on the same spot til the branch give up supporting my weight.

"Philippines! How many times must I stop the burning of forests for you?" I looked up to see a baby version of ASEAN, the tiny organisation pouted, flapping their wings.

They flew up into the air with their teddy bear and activated the sprinkler in it.
The water that managed to land on me sizzled and turned into vapour.

"Why are you in your kid form?"

"It's easier to squeeze through spots." ASEAN smiled, "hol' on, I'm gonna bring something to cool you down!" They hopped into a portal with their teddy bear.

I looked at the camera, it melted halfway before ASEAN came and cooled everything down.

○ ○ ○ ☹

Cubes of ice dropped on my head.

"Geez... you have to control your emotions better you know?" ASEAN said worriedly, going for another round of pouring ice bucket on me.

"Having too much emotions isn't wrong but for your case, you have to remain calm every second, if not things will flare up." ASEAN nagged like a parent, throwing the empty bucket and grabbing another one.

I frowned, hugging my knees close to my chest. Guilt pipping up my stomach.

"Goodness! There's black smudges on your skin!" ASEAN gently grabbed ahold of my arm, I looked at it with curiosity too. "It won't come off?"

"Forget about that, I got clues to find!" I hastily stood up with my halfway melted camera.

"Can we get ice cream after this?" ASEAN followed behind me as I walked around the destroyed area.

"We can get those ice cream sandwiches from the streets." I hummed, exploring the area. "Huh... there's nothing out of the ordinary here though."

"Let's get ice cream now then!"

"Alright, alright..."

...

I watched in terror as people around me collapsed and die in a painful way.

"Freak! Stop poisoning us!" An angry person threw a rock at me, mourning over their loved one.

"H-huh? But I did nothing?" I yelped in pain as rocks pelted all over my body.

"Liar! We saw you touch it!" Another angry yell, the whole village was against me. All of the villagers cornered around me with rage.

I cried, hoping father would hear me.
