(3rd POV)

                Nina and Nerissa traveled to Belgium and the Netherlands for Spring Break. They went to Belgium first to meet with the Netherlands and Belgium. However, Luxembourg was with his two older siblings. He seemed excited and walked up to the sisters.

"I am Luxembourg. Thank you so much for help us when Ruined attacked us" he said with a kind smile.

"No worries. We were grateful to help!" Nina said with a smile.

"Well! Now that you are at my home! Let me treat you to my waffles!" Belgium said excitedly as she skipped to a shop.

They followed into a small bakery. The smell of sugar, chocolate, and bread filled the room. Nina and Nerissa were eager to try Belgium's famous waffles. The group was soon sitting outside of the shop at a table. Nina was so happy.

"I cannot wait to try this..." she said excitedly as she looked at her waffle.

Her waffle was fluffy and had chocolate covering it. Nerissa already ate hers and everyone was waiting for Nina to try hers. Nina took a giant bite out of it and smiled happily.

"It's so good..." she whispered.

Nina then ate her waffle as everyone laughed. The group walked to the square of the city in Belgium. There was a festival, and everyone was running around. Nerissa let out a loud gasp and ran to the Godiva store. Nina laughed as Luxembourg joined her little sister.

"Does your sister like my chocolate that much?" Belgium asked with a giggle.

"Yeah! There's a store in Detroit, Michigan. My sister would buy chocolate from that store" Nina explained/

Belgium laughed a bit, but the Netherlands just nodded. Nina wondered if he was ok. Nerissa and Luxembourg returned with two bags of chocolate.

"Uh, how are you going to compete?" Nina asked her sister.

"I will lose weight as I walk" Nerissa stated as they walked around the square.

Luxembourg laughed as he followed her. Nina just sighed, and they continued to walk around the small city. The saw a clock tower and Nerissa smiled at it.

"Thinking about Xion?" Nina asked.

"Yeah! Maybe we can have ice cream here!" Nerissa said as she walked to the clock tower.

Belgium and Luxembourg joined them, and the Netherlands walked.

"Oh, you want to climb the Belfry of Bruges?" Belgium asked excitedly.

"Yes!" Nerissa shouted joyfully.

"No" Nina said annoyed.

Belgium looked at her two brothers as she said, "I'll climb the tower with Nerissa! You two can wait at the bottom with Nina"

The brothers nodded, and Belgium and Nerissa climb the tower. Nina sat on a bench with the two brothers. Nina looked up at the tower curiously.

"Hey" Netherlands said loudly.

"Yes?" Nina asked.

"If you see any darkness, what does it look like?" he asked.

"Big brother, have you seen darkness here?" Luxembourg asked worriedly.

"What does this darkness look like?" Nina asked concerned.

"That" Netherlands said as an Unversed appeared!

Nina created the blue beam and summoned Wonder Light and quickly shot an ice spell at it. The ice spell froze the Unversed, but Luxembourg looked at the tower.

"Big sister!" Luxembourg shouted in a panic.

Nina looked at the tower and gasped! It was Braig and Larxene!

"Do you see her?" Braig asked as he positioned his sniper on a roof!

"How long has this been going on?" Nina asked worriedly.

"I thought I saw some dark creatures. I wasn't sure, so I made sure one of the Dreamers came here" Netherlands said seriously.

Nina began to think as she tapped her commlink. Nerissa and Belgium made it to the bell and Nerissa was amazed at the view!

"Wow! Xion will love this!" Nerissa declared as she looked out.

"You should bring her next time!" Belgium said as she looked out with her.

"Do you mind if I come along? It could be a girls' night!" Larxene shouted in excitement as she threw one of her knives at Belgium.

Nerissa quickly shot an energy beam at it and grab Belgium hand. They quickly ran down the tower. Nina used her keyblade to create her own sniper.

"If neither of you have a weapon, I suggest you get back" Nina said as she aimed the gun carefully.

The Netherlands and Luxembourg took cover under the clock tower and watched Nina. Nina shot a water bullet then an ice bullet. The water bullet hit the ground underneath Braig and the ice bullet frozen Braig's knees and feet to the ground!

"Clever! I should've know you kids were here!" Braig said amused.

Nina made her sniper back to a keyblade and ran up the wall. She landed in front of Braig.

"What do you want?" she asked him seriously.

"I figured there was some kind of power here. I wouldn't mind using it" Braig said excitedly.

Nina glared at him and then she heard an explosion. She turned around and saw Larxene throwing more knives at the tower!

"Well, this is a problem!" Braig laughed.

Nina created two pistols from her keyblade and aimed one at Braig. She aimed the other at Larxene. Nina quickly shot a fire ball at Larxene's back! She crashed into the tower and then Nerissa and Belgium escaped the tower. Nerissa directed Belgium to her brothers and Nerissa joined her sister.

"Well, this is not what I expected" Larxene stated annoyed.

"Yeah, me neither. I am out" Braig said as he disappeared in a dark corridor.

Larxene scowled and vanished. Nina and Nerissa were confused.

"Those two usually want to fight us..." Nerissa said confused.

"Maybe they are nightmares. After all, we did defeat them back at the graveyard" Nina said.

Nerissa nodded, and they walked to the siblings.

"Is everything ok?" Belgium asked worriedly.

"We are honestly not sure" Nina said.

"Those two clearly know you. Do they want something?" Luxembourg asked.

Nerissa shrugged. The group left the tower and Nina looked at the Netherlands. He was being unusually quiet. The group took a bus back to Amsterdam. Everyone fell asleep, but the Netherlands. He walked to the bathroom and waited outside. Braig soon appeared and smiled at him.

"Haha! I didn't think Nina would be that smart!" he said with a laugh.

The Netherlands growled, but he didn't do anything. Nerissa heard a laugh and woke up. She knew that laugh sounded familiar to her.

"So, you know what you have to do. I just want Nina" Braig said simply.

Nerissa was now angry. No one was allowed to hurt her sister! She pretended to be asleep and waited.

"Once I get her, the nightmares will go away" Braig said.

The Netherlands just nodded and Braig vanished. Nerissa was surprised. The Netherlands was trying to protect something. He was walking back to his seat and Nerissa pretended to be asleep.

"Don't worry you two, I won't let him hurt you" the Netherlands said as he patted his two siblings' head.

Nerissa understood. Her big sister had tried to protect her from harm. Nerissa decided to help the Netherlands somehow. Once the bus reached Amsterdam, the group woke up and got off. Nina looked up and smiled at De Gooyer Windmill. It towered over the city as the fans speed around.

"It surprises me at how our species can actually build something like that" Nina said amazed.

"Well, big brother is always super strong" Belgium stated simply.

Everyone walked to the hotel to rest for a while. Luxembourg ordered some cake and Nina had some chips. However, Nerissa kept looking at the Netherlands and got an idea.

"Hey! Netherlands! Can you show me where Van Go's museum is?" Nerissa shouted.

Nina, Belgium, and Luxembourg were surprised to hear Nerissa's outburst.

"Oh! Yes! Big brother can take you! We can wait for you here!" Belgium said excitedly.

Nerissa looked at the Netherlands and he nodded as he sighed. Nina, Belgium, and Luxembourg rested for a few minutes.

"Hey! Nina, do you want to see the Chinatown?" Belgium asked excitedly.

"Yes!" Nina said as she bolted from her seat.

The trio set off to the Chinatown. As Nerissa and Netherlands made their way to the museum, Nerissa stood in front of him.

"What's going on?" she demanded from him.

"What do you mean?" the Netherlands asked.

"You were talking to Braig" Nerissa said angrily.

Netherlands was surprised while Nerissa held an angry expression.

"I ran into a problem. He wants my heart or yours. If he doesn't get that, he'll hurt my siblings" Netherlands said with a sigh.

"Why didn't you call us sooner?!" Nerissa shouted.

"I tried my best, but it wasn't easy. A lot of people want your help. I did what I could" Netherlands said seriously.

"Wait a minute, why does Braig want your heart?" Nerissa asked curiously.

"I am not sure either" Netherlands admitted.

Nerissa just nodded while Nina, Luxembourg, and Belgium were walking to the Chinatown as Laxrene spotted them.

"I'll handle them. You got the other two?" Larxene asked eagerly.

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't be reckless" Braig said.

Braig left while Larxene laughed. She quickly went away from the trio and then she flew at them quickly. She then knocked them into the river, but the trio landed on a boat.

"Ow..." Belgium said as she rubbed her head.

Nina quickly activated the blue beam and drew Wonder Light.

"Is everyone ok?" Nina asked worriedly.

"I think so" Luxembourg said as he helped his sister up.

"Larxene! What do you want?!" Nina shouted.

"Your precious heart!" she declared as she shot a lightning bolt at them!

Nina acted fast and then raised the water from the river! She created a water shield around them.

"Oh! That won't do!" Larxene shouted as she threw more knives at them.

Nina tried her best to block her attacks. She glanced at Luxembourg.

"Luxembourg! Can you please grab my commlink?" Nina asked.

He nodded and took the commlink off of her wrist.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked her.

"Call my sister! We need to make sure she and your brother are ok!" Nina said.

Luxembourg nodded and began to look for Nerissa's number. As Nerissa and Netherlands were heading back to the hotel, but Nerissa noticed a blue beam.

"That's not a good sign" Netherlands said.

"No, not really. However, maybe I can get the heart of a nation" Braig said as he stepped out of a dark corridor.

Nerissa stood in front of Netherlands protectively as Braig aimed his sniper at Nerissa.

"Deal's a deal" Braig said as he shot at Nerissa.

Nerissa quickly dodge his attacks and shot energy beams at him. She dropped her commlink and tried to defeat Braig. The Netherlands quickly picked up her commlink and he looked at it. Nerissa was receiving a call from her big sister.

"Hello?" Netherlands asked.

"Big brother? Is Nerissa there?" Luxembourg asked worriedly.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Netherlands asked.

"We are being attacked here! Nina's doing her best, but we do need some help!" Luxembourg said urgently.

Netherlands was furious. Braig had lied to him! Netherlands grabs a nearby paddle and runs towards Nerissa and Braig.

"Stay with Nina. Don't worry, Nerissa and I will come for you" Netherlands shouted.

Netherlands ran behind Braig and smacked Braig in the back! Nerissa was surprised, but she created another energy sphere.

"What are you doing?! I could still get your siblings!" Braig shouted annoyed.

"You're trying that right now! You sent someone who is currently attacking my siblings and her big sister! Deal's off! You're done!" Netherlands stated.

Nerissa smiled as she aimed one energy sphere at Braig.

"Looks like we win!" Nerissa said determinedly.

"I don't think so. Your sister can't handle Larxene's power for too long!" Braig said.

Nerissa was worried. Netherlands smacked Braig's head with the paddle. Braig was knocked out.

"Come on, we need to save our siblings" Netherlands said urgently.

Nerissa nodded, and they ran to help them. Netherlands lead Nerissa to the Chinatown. Three people were walking around the Chinatown.

"Ayah! Netherlands always messes up my cooking!" the man walking in front said.

"Like, don't worry teacher. You just need to wait" the second man said in a nonchalant manner.

"Indeed. Netherlands will have to learn from you soon" the third man added.

The Netherlands and Nerissa quickly ran past them and the three men stopped in their tracks.

"Was that?" the third man asked.

"I think it was" the second man said amazed.

"It is them! Let's see if they need help!" the first man said determinedly.

They ran to help them. Braig shot a bullet in front of the Netherlands and Nerissa and appeared before them.

"Sorry, but that's as far as you go" Braig said with a chuckle as he aimed his sniper at Nerissa.

"As if!" the second man shouted as he threw chopsticks at Braig's shoulder.

The chopsticks struck Braig's coat and he fell down.

"Who was that?" Nerissa asked curiously.

"China" the second man said happily.

Nerissa and the Netherlands turned around to see China, Hong Kong, and Macau! Nerissa ran to Hong Kong and hugged him.

"What brings you here?" Netherlands asked curiously.

"Japan is here for the Van Go exhibit, so we decided to come too" Macau explained.

"Is your big sister here?" China asked excitedly.

"Yes, but we have a problem" Nerissa said as she looked at Braig.

Hong Kong glared at him and China stood in front of his siblings. Braig pulled the chopsticks out of the ground and stood up.

"Well, this is not what I had in mind" Braig said.

"So, like, what's going on?" Hong Kong asked.

"Braig tricked the Netherlands and right now, my sister is fighting Larxene and trying to protect Luxembourg and Belgium" Nerissa explained.

"What?!" China said angrily.

Braig aimed his two snipers at the group before him. Hong Kong took some meatballs from a stand and threw it at Braig. Macau threw his fan at Braig! Braig shot the fan, but the meatballs hit his eyes!

"Like, go!" Hong Kong shouted as he charged at Braig.

"Nerissa, Macau and I can help your sister. Can you fight this man with Hong Kong and Netherlands?" China asked.

"Yes, we can handle him" Nerissa said determinedly.

China and Macau ran to help Nina. Nina was losing control of the water shield.

"You two are going to have help me fight. Can you help me please?" Nina asked.

Luxembourg pulled out a rapier and Belgium took out a waffle pan. Nina smiled at them.

"Ok, ready?" Nina asked them as she raised her Wonder Light into the air.

"Yes!" the siblings said as Nina let the water shield down.

Larxene smiled, but Nina shot a fireball at her. Luxembourg and Belgium got away from the boat and Nina jumped at Larxene. Larxene blocked Nina's attacks using her knives. Larxene easily pushed Nina down to the ground. Nina hit the ground hard and Belgium and Luxembourg rushed to Nina's aid.

"Are you ok?" Belgium asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine. Look out!" Nina shouted in a panic.

Luxembourg turned around and saw Larxene charging up a powerful lightning bolt! Luxembourg prepared to block it using his rapier, but someone threw a fan and knocked the knife out of her hand!

"What?! Who is it this time?!" Larxene roared.

China and Macau landed in front of the trio.

"I believe that is what the Americans call meddling" Macau said coolly.

China turned and looked at Nina worriedly.

"Are you ok aru?!" China asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine" Nina reassured China.

Larxene growled loudly and began to unleash a powerful electrical energy! Nina was worried.

"We've got to stop her! Anyone have any ideas?" China asked seriously.

"I need to open a keyhole. If I can open one, then we can send her back" Nina explained, but she was too weak to stand up.

"Got it. Luxembourg, can you please assist China and me? Belgium, please look after Nina until we wear her down" Macau said as he held his fan.

"Of course, Macau" Luxembourg said as he pointed his rapier at her.

China ran towards Larxene and launched a flurry of punches at her. Larxene quickly dodged his punches, but she saw Luxembourg charging at her. He swung his rapier at her, but she blocked it with her knife. Macau threw his fan at her hand and knocked the knife out of her hand!

"Belgium, please help me up. I've got to unlock the keyhole" Nina asked of her.

Belgium nodded and helped Nina up. They slowly walked around and then Nina recalled something.

"Wait, this isn't the Larxene I know. She's a nightmare!" Nina exclaimed, "Belgium, please get me close to her!"

Belgium nodded, and they slowly walked towards them. China grab one of Larxene's arms and Macau held the other.

Luxembourg jumped away as he shouted "Nina! Now!"

Nina aimed her Wonder Light at Larxene and shot a light beam at her! Larxene screamed and the light consumed Larxene! Once she was gone, China and Macau let go. Nina smiled at them and then realized something.

"My little sister doesn't know that Braig is a nightmare! I've got to get to her! Ow!" Nina said, but her wrist hurts.

"No, let me take care of you. Macau, please her sister. We will get Nina back to the hotel" China ordered.

Macau bowed and ran to help her. China carried Nina back to the hotel with Belgium and Luxembourg.

"Thank you, China" Nina said embarrassed.

"No worries- aru!" China said happily.

Macau ran to the Chinatown and saw his little brother dodging the bullets. Netherlands blocked the bullets using his paddle and Nerissa ran around the Chinatown. Macau quickly ran to Nerissa's side and held her back.

"Nerissa, your sister wanted to let me tell you something. That man isn't the same man you know. It is a nightmare of a man" Macau said calmly as he held his fan.

Nerissa's expression lightened, and she summoned Oathkeeper.

"Guys! Give it your all! He's not a person!" Nerissa shouted.

Netherlands was confused while Hong Kong laughed.

"Great! We don't have to hold back!" he said as he threw chopsticks at Braig.

Hong Kong knocked one of the snipers out of Braig's hand and Netherlands swung his paddle at Braig's other hand. Netherlands was able to knock the other sniper away.

"Oh, shoot. Not now" Braig said with a sigh.

Nerissa aimed Oathkeeper at Braig and a light beam shot out. The beam struck down Braig and he was destroyed by the light. Netherlands and Hong Kong high fived.

"Hey! What happened to my sister?!" she asked panicked.

"Don't worry, teacher promised to watch her" Macau said.

The group went to the hotel and saw their siblings resting at the lobby. The blue beam vanished once Nerissa entered the room. Nina was on the couch with a bandage on her wrist and one around her head.

"Nina! What happened to you?!" Hong Kong asked as Nerissa rushed to her sister's side.

"Larxene was strong. I'm ok. China healed me" Nina said with a laugh.

Nerissa pouted a bit, but she nodded.

"Thank you. I don't know how to repay any of you" Netherlands said embarrassed.

"You don't have too, but next time, please call when trouble arises" Nina said with a smile.

Netherlands nodded while Belgium and Luxembourg teased their older brother. China, Hong Kong, and Macau left them.

"How come we are leaving, teacher?" Macau asked.

"Well, this is the sisters' vacation with them. They can visit us" China said calmly.

The three Asian brothers left the hotel room while the group began to chat. The group enjoyed their time together and looked around the wonderful Van Go exhibit together. Of course, the Netherlands gave the sisters a bunch of chocolate as a thank you for helping protect his siblings.
