Chapter 3: The Philippines, Nerissa, and Nina, Party Time!
(Philippines's POV)
So, I heard from my boss that a party is happening in city hall! I can't wait to see all the smiling faces, hear the music, and see the dancing! We can have a lot of food to taste and take a lot of pictures too!
"This is going to be so much fun!" I exclaimed in delight as I held my phone and snapped a photo of myself standing outside the party room.
I stepped into the building as I looked through the green hallways. People were starting to enter the building, but I saw two little girls running into the building with two DS in their hands. Huh. There is something about them. I want to follow them!
"Hello!" I called after them as I held my phone.
However, one of the girls looked up at me with a cautious smile.
"Who are you?" she shouted as she stood in front of her little sister.,
Huh. They have America's accent. I wonder....
"I am Philip! Who are you?" I greeted as I kneeled down at their level.
"Nina and this is Nerissa, my little sister" she answered.
They were both wearing white dresses made of local materials from here! So, they must have family here! I wonder who they are! Do I know them?
"So, why are you here?" I asked them with a grin.
"It is our grandmother's birthday. Actually, why are you here? Do you know our grandmother?" Nina asked curiously.
"I believe so. I know everyone! I'm popular!" I boasted as I finally understood.
This party was for her, the friend of the mayors. Huh. Not bad. But I wonder why they know America. How did that happen?
"So, you're not from here?" I asked curiously.
"No. We are from America. Why?" Nina asked seriously as she looked at me.
Interesting. Wait! Are these the kids America wanted me to watch over?! But why? What is so important about these kids? Hm... I need to figure this out.
"So! Uh, do you know someone named Alfred by chance? Or, someone named America?" I asked curiously.
Before anyone jumps on my case for this, they are kids. Kids believe in anything they are told! So, this shouldn't be a weird question to ask them!
"No, I don't think so. How about you, Nerissa?" Nina asked curiously.
"No" she answered as the two sisters then looked up at me.
Then, they heard their mother call out their names. The two sisters waved goodbye to me as they went into the party room. The party room was vast and held a lot of tables and chairs. There were two long tables holding a bunch of food and drinks for everyone here! I can't wait! However, we don't have stages, we just have a wooden floor among the green carpet. That is where the performers perform! I wonder who is going to perform today!
"Hello Philip! Do you want some food?" Nina asked as she gained my attention and held a plate to me.
"Oh! Thanks! I can't wait to have some rice and chicken! Oh, are you going to have some?" I asked as I noticed she didn't have a plate.
Her sister sat at the table and was eating some rice and fish with the DS open. There was pretty Notebook beside her too.
"A little later" she confessed as she looked at the floor.
"Oh! Are you going to perform?! I can't wait to see it!" I said excitedly as Nina shook her head.
"I'm not that good at it. I just have to do it, because it is my grandmother's birthday" Nina answered with a shake of her head.
I tilted my head at her. I wonder what she means by that. Dancing doesn't need to be judged. Who judges dancing? That sounds horrible!
"Well, I shall cheer for your dancing regardless! You'll do great!" I said with a smile.
Nina finally smiled at me as she nodded her head. Then, the orchestra arrived! They began to play their instruments as everyone listened and ate their food together. The music sounded very nice and pleasant.
"What a wonderful melody. It sounds like a powerful melody that can help everyone" I said with a grin as I closed my eyes to listen to the powerful song.
However, when I opened my eyes, I gasped in shock.
"What happened?!" I shouted as I looked to see everyone else had fallen asleep!
Suddenly, I saw a blue beam appear in front of me as the two sisters looked around for a moment.
"What is happening?" I asked in a whisper as the sisters rushed out of the room.
"We have to do something about this!" Nerissa shouted as she ran ahead of her big sister with the Notebook in her hands.
"I know! Wait for me!" Nina shouted as she summoned a key shaped sword and followed her.
I ran after them and bumped into Nina as she stumbled forward. I helped her regain her balance as she gasped in awe!
"It didn't affect you?! Really?!" she asked amazed as she looked up at me.
"What doesn't affect me? What is happening?!" I asked as I shook her shoulders violently.
Nina let out a wail as her sister returned to see me shaking her. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. She then created a green sphere in her hands as I released her sister who then fell back on the ground.
"What are you doing here?! How are you here?!" she demanded until a wave of darkness waved over us!
Then, Nina turned to the doors of the room as she pointed the blade to lock it!
"Everyone inside should be safe! Let's get rid of this darkness!" she informed me as she then rushed out of the building.
"Wait! I insist on going with you! I have to do something!" I shouted as I ran after them.
However, they continued to run away from me while I chased after them. I want to know what is going on! What did America make me do?! I didn't know these kids were something like this! I thought they were just good at an art! They stopped outside on the steps of the building as they looked ready for a fight.
"Is someone coming?" I asked nervously as both girls jumped up in shock.
"What are you doing here?!" Nerissa shouted as Nina looked panicked.
Should I have not been here? What is going to happen?
"What did you two do?" I asked worriedly.
"Nothing to concern you. I am just here for them" a very sweet voice asked I felt an oddly calm wind blowing pass us!
The two sisters stood still as they waited for a moment. As flowers fell around us, the two sisters pulled me towards them. Nerissa created a powerful green shield around us as the flowers struck the shield! I screamed as I fell down and saw the flowers strike the shield. Cracks began to form as I held my breath. Just what is this?
"Ah, nice to see you again, Dreamers. How do you do?" a young man with flowing pink hair greeted.
He had green eyes and wore a black coat with a flower scythe in his hands. Who is this guy?! Why does he know these kids?!
"Marluxia! Why are you here?!" Nerissa shouted angrily.
"Does that matter? I was tasked to get rid of the two of you. You seem to always cause some kind of trouble for us. We can't have that anymore" he said as he swung his scythe to the ground.
I was expecting the ground to shake. Well, the ground did shake, but vines grew and started to smack the shield!
"What do we do?!" I shouted to them as Nina pondered on this for a moment.
"I've got an idea. We need to get him to open the dark corridor. Once we do that, we'll be able to push him back and lock it" Nina whispered to us.
Wait, am I going to help them with this?! Well, I better take some pictures of this! I have to show this to America! Assuming he wants to see it, of course. As the shield began to shatter, Nerissa grips my hand while Nina looked ready to charge forward. The shield did shatter as Nina lunged forward and slammed her blade against his scythe!
"You do realize you are nowhere near my strength to fight me, right? You aren't that foolish" he mocked as I felt the need to suddenly whack him with my camera.
"Oh, I know that! I also know how to use Grass type Pokémon really well. You like flowers, don't you? Well, I also love casting fire magic!" she shouted as her blade caught fire!
He gasped as he pushed her upwards to avoid being burnt. However, she cast her blade downward to burn away all the vines around us! It was so pretty and destructive! She then landed before us as she panted. Her sister ran pass her with that same green sphere in her hands.
"Ha!" she shouted as she threw the sphere at him.
However, he easily cut it in half with just a single swipe! How strong is he?! Wait, they just need him to summon something dark, right? Ok! Then, I have an idea! I ran towards him with my camera in my hands. I held it in front of me as he looked perplexed. I snapped a photo of him with the flash on. He gasped as he covered his eyes to hide from the flash! I knew it would work!
"Thank you, Philip!" Nina shouted in relief as Nerissa got an idea.
She created a sphere before herself and made it shine bright around him! He raised his scythe to block the shine coming from it as he used his other hand to create a dark corridor to flee. Nina rushed towards him and swung her blade to push him back into the dark corridor! She then pointed her the blade at it. A beam of light struck the corridor as a lock sound could be heard. The corridor vanished as both girls fell down in relief.
"Seriously, how does this keep happening to us?" Nerissa asked tiredly.
"I don't know. I'll tell Ben and Jiwon about this when we get back. For now, we should expect to get attacked from any part of the world. Also, we should probably wake everyone up. Even though I am both nervous and dreading this dance, I have to perform it for her" she said as she stood up and patted her dress to get rid of any dirt.
"Right, but what about Philip?" Nerissa asked worriedly as she stood up and faced me with the blue beam disappearing, "He shouldn't have known about this..."
I think I understand now. They were just trying to keep the peace, but that didn't last long. It also appears that they are trying to keep their abilities a secret from the world which is something I can understand completely. Not all of us countries are going to be happy they are back. I stood up and nodded at them.
"Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret. I won't tell anyone about you" I reassured them with a calm smile as I kneeled before them.
The two of them were surprised for a moment before they smiled brightly.
"Thank you, Philip!" they shouted in delight as they then rushed back to the building and took my hands in theirs.
We arrived back at the party venue as Nina raised her blade in the sky with Nerissa placing her hand on it. Pink and emerald lights engulfed the entire party room as the guests began to wake up! Nina made her blade disappear as she then took her part on the stage. She and her mother began to dance with grace and awe as they took a few steps away from each other and waved their hands around. Everyone burst into a wonderful chorus of applause together! Nina was blushing as she took her bow and then rejoined her sister to have a nice warm meal together. I sat with them to chat about their time here at my place as I listened to them talk about video games and shows they enjoy watching. It was so nice to hear from them again. It feels like I am talking with an old friend again...
"And that's what happened! Crazy, right America?!" I exclaimed to him over a video call.
"I'll say. Those two are something else" he said with a grin on his face.
"Wow, you're not as excited as I thought you would be, America. How come?" I asked as I titled my head to the side.
"I am, but I also have to keep my cool. I am the hero after all!" he said as he flashed a grin at me, "But, you didn't post those pictures of them fighting, did you?"
"No, I promised them I wouldn't post any pictures of them fighting, but I did post pictures of them at their grandmother's party" I answered with a proud nod of the head.
"That's a relief! Can't let my plans be spoiled so soon! Thanks, Philippines! Oh, look at the time, I have to go. I've got another meeting today! See ya buddy!" America said in relief as he left.
I stopped for a moment as I pondered on his words. "Can't let my plans be spoiled so soon" ... What are you up too now, America? Is something going on with those kids?! If so, what?! I hope they'll be ok. Don't do anything reckless, anak ko.
