(And thus, this is the final chapter. Yes, there are two more parts to this, but that's the epilogue and conclusion! I am really happy with the changes I've made to this, as well as editing this story. I am also surprised with how many views this has. Comparing this to my other site, this is so much better. I honestly want to leave it, but I'll just wait. Enjoy!)

           Feliciana, Germany, Japan, America, Canada, England, France, Russia, China, Korea, and Vietnam made their way to the throne room of the palace.

"Are you sure the darkness is in here?" England asked in a skeptical tone as he used his magic to scan for it, "I do not sense anything amiss here"

"Hai, it was here" Japan said with a serious expression as he looked at the damaged throne room, "This is where Vietnam used her powers to purge the darkness out of my heart and give it no form. It should've remained here"

Everyone was tense as they searched the throne room for any sign of Chaos and the darkness. They knew it couldn't be far and decided to search for it in the room. Little did they know it was hiding in their shadows, ready to strike them!

Lunging from the shadows, Chaos grabbed France's, America's, and Russia's shadows to suspend them before declaring a threat, "Did you believe your foolish attempt to stop me would be enough?! Pathetic! This is what happens when you dare threaten me!"

Everyone froze as Canada lunged to grab America's hand only for him to pull his hand away from her while struggling in the shadow's grasp. Germany cracked his whip and used it to tie around Russia's leg and tried to pull him away only for the shadows to snap the whip in half!

"No! Let them go!" Feliciana screeched as she lunged to help only for Germany to grab her arm and stop her from getting close to them.

They weren't sure how to help them, but England knew exactly what to do. He would not let this darkness take away his precious partner! He stood up and gathered lighting to his hand with the Lighting Tome of Europa only giving him more power.

"You will let them go right now!" England declared as he cast the lightning to strike the shadows holding all three of them!

The lightning was bright enough to scare Chaos and destroy the shadows, releasing Russia, France, and America!

"It doesn't like light!" Korea shouted as his dragon appeared behind him and covered everyone in a protective light.

England, Canada, and China rushed to France, America, and Russia to see how they were fairing until they heard Chaos laugh.

"If that was enough to make you change your plans to a defensive one, then there will be no hope for you to ever truly stop a formless being" Chaos commented in an amused tone, "Ah, that will not matter since I will be the one to create this world in my imagine anyway"

Darkness covered the area around them except for Korea's dragon glowing over them. They could not see through the darkness and remained close to each other, trying to find a way to stop the darkness and find a way out.

"Do not give up!" Feliciana encouraged before taking her arrows to aim ahead, "We will find a way out of this! Brilleremo luminosi come la luce!"

She released a few arrows through the darkness. The arrows pierced through it to give them some light. She grinned at the sight of the light as France drew his rapier to catch the light along the blade before reflecting it towards the surrounding darkness! Chaos hissed in pain as Russia noticed it tried to retreat.

"I do not think so!" Russia declared as he stomped his feet on the ground to have ice completely cover the ground and freeze the darkness in place!

France and Russia stood back-to-back as neither were willing to let the darkness and Chaos forget that dirty trick it used earlier.

"Pust' idet sneg!" Russia declared before raising his hands to unleash a powerful blizzard outside of their protective field and striking the darkness!

France gathered the light to the rapier before twirling in place with his hand back as he announced, "Laisse la lumière briller!"

Holding the rapier of light, France then struck the ground with the blade to unleash a powerful wave of light to wash over the darkness! Chaos cried out in pain before forcefully breaking itself free from the darkness and cold to escape from the light!

Seeing the slithering Chaos attempting to flee, Germany cracked his whip again before vowing, "Nein, you have used my friends and family for your own selfish needs. I will forgive you for that. Nein, Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass du heute stirbst!"

Cracking his whip, Germany swung it with all his might to pull Chaos back to them! Canada could see Chaos attempting to break free and wouldn't let it escape! She formed a plan and turned to America who was thinking the same thing!

"Follow me, Canada!" America shouted as he ran to help Germany, "Sorry that I wore you out. I know you definitely have the strength to do this but trust me on this! My sis and I got this! You are so going down after everything you've done!"

Germany gave his whip to America as Canada ran to fire four arrows above Chaos. The arrows struck Chaos as it fell with America grabbing the whip with full force to pull Chaos down to the ground with a loud yell and thud!

Chaos yelled in pain as it struggled to break free from the arrows.

Japan drew his katana with China holding his fists up. Both motioned for Korea to wait as they charged at Chaos.

"I vow to never have anyone be used in such a horrifying manner again" Japan vowed strongly as he held the katana close, "Anata wa nidoto hokanohito ni yami o motarasu koto wa arimasen!"

He jumped with the katana above his head, holding the blade close, before releasing and swinging it to deliver a powerful cut to create an open wound! Japan moved away to stand between Feliciana and Germany as China took a running start.

"As long as I live, I will dedicate my life to ensure that your darkness never spreads and inflicts onto others!" China vowed before he jumped his fist covered in a golden light, "Wǒmen de guāng jiāng wèi nǐ dài lái duòluò!"

He delivered a powerful punch to the open wound as the golden light covered it! China jumped and landed beside Russia and England. Everyone watched as Chaos let out a horrifying screech with the golden light covering it. They were tense and waiting to see what it would do.

Once it stopped screeching, Chaos recovered to snap violently, "So much pain! How could she create and protect such beings that bring nothing but pain to everything they touch?! This is why I wish to strip them of everything they have! This is why I should be in charge!"

Seeing Chaos building up energy and power, America, China, and France pushed Vietnam, Korea, and Canada away as the darkness was unleashed and grabbed the rest of them! Canada wanted to run and grab her twin only for Vietnam to stop her while wondering how she was supposed to help them, but she didn't know how!

"Finally, those who have dared to stand in my way are in my grasp" Chaos commented in wicked delight, "Die! Wither! Cease to live!"

The darkness gripped them tightly as they whimpered and cried out in pain! Canada, Vietnam, and Korea were tense as they were struggling to think of a way to save them. Seychelles rushed to stand in front of them with the shield in her hands!

"Stay behind me!" Seychelles shouted urgently as she raised the shield to protect them.

Australia let out a battle cry as he held the Oceanic Axe in his hands to the deliver a powerful strike to cut Chaos in the back! Chaos cried out as the artifact struck it and forced it release them!

"Take that, you emu!" Australia cheered as France rushed to catch England before hitting the ground.

Canada rushed to help her twin brother while Korea and Vietnam went to care for China and Japan. Romana helped Feliciana while also scolding her for being reckless.

"See, this is why you should listen to me! But do you, no!" Romana snapped at her twin sister while the darkness was in a panic before seeing Chaos roaring in frustration.

Spain placed Mexico on the ground with Romania and Norway only staring at the being of darkness.

"What is it doing?" Norway asked seriously as she clutched her hands tightly.

England answered, "It must be reforming and trying to find another way to kill us. It is a persistent little creature. I will give it that much"

"I think we need the to use the Artifacts of the World to stop it" China reasoned before standing up, "Leave the Dragons of Asiand for last. Everyone else needs to use their powers first"

Everyone agreed as they stood around the darkness and Chaos who was not going to back down so easily. Not when it was close. It was ready to finally have the ending it wanted. It would not give up so easily!

"Do you truly believe that her gifts will be enough to stop me again?!" Chaos roared before unleashing another wave of darkness.

Seychelles reacted first and rushed in front of everyone. She knew the darkness could not spread again otherwise it would try and capture them again. Realizing this, she held the shield up and gathered light and energy to it. She would not let the darkness and Chaos bring any more harm to those she cared about if she has the power to do something.

"Everyone! Stand behind me!" she shouted with the shield up and ready to unleash its power as she faced Chaos and the darkness, "Je trouverai un moyen de protéger tout le monde!"

Raising the shield, it glowed a golden light that protected everyone from the onslaught of endless darkness! She was grateful she could do something, but she wondered how they were going to counter it from here. Spain tried to wake up Mexico, but he was still exhausted from using the daggers' powers.

"We need to find a way to hold it down!" Canada shouted as she helped America sit up.

Australia spun the Oceanic Axe in his hands with a knowing expression as Romania, Norway, and England shared a nod.

"Then, we should be able to deliver maximum damage to it" Romania encouraged with a grin, "Let's get going!"

With that, they took off, but France followed England, Prussia ran with Norway, and Spain entrusted the unconscious Mexico to the Italy sisters before running with Romania. Australia ran to the other side as Russia followed him.

Korea was frustrated with waiting, but he trusted China's idea to wait with the rest. Vietnam wondered why her powers were not activating at all and stared at her hands. What was she missing in all of this?

"I would not worry as much as you are right now" Japan reassured her, "Your powers activated, because you needed to do something and knew you could. You will have that moment again; I am sure of it"

She waited and stayed with the North America Twins as she had a nagging feeling something was missing in their group.

Russia and Australia rushed to the opposite side of Chaos as Russia gathered as much ice as he could.

"Have you skated on ice before?" Russia asked as he could feel the cold flowing through him before taking out his pickaxe.

Australia only laughed as Russia realized his answer before motioning to follow his lead. Gathering the ice to his pickaxe, Australia jumped forward before Russia slammed it on the ground! Ice spread around the floor as Australia landed on the ice before gliding and doing his best to not slip!

Readjusting himself, Australia held the Oceanic Axe in front of himself before making a vow, "This is it. You're done, right here and now! I will not let you hurt anyone I can about when I have the power to bring your end!"

He jumped, raised the axe above his head, and slammed it downward to deliver a powerful strike to bring Chaos and the darkness down to be trapped in the ground! Chaos cried out in pain before turning to see Russia and Australia as the culprits. It lunged its darkness towards them with Russia grabbing Australia's hand and running away from the darkness!

"We've got to help them!" Prussia shouted as Norway let the Ice Tome of Europa following her.

She cast a wave of ice over the approaching darkness which completely froze it over! Prussia drew his blade to swing and break the ice, destroying the darkness! He let out a cheer as he and Norway repeated the process again while another wave of darkness was heading towards Italy sisters and the unconscious Mexico!

"No! Not them!" Spain yelled in a panic as Romania gathered the fire burning from the Fire Tome of Europa.

He waved his hand to unleash a wave of fire between the sisters and Mexico and the darkness! Spain was relieved before jumping with his own axe spinning behind him. He let the head of axe catch fire before swinging it to strike the darkness! Spain was delighted to deliver both painful strikes and burns to the darkness. Catching on to Romania's idea, Spain and Romania repeated the process with Mexico waking up to the warmth of the fire.

The third wave of darkness flew towards the North America twins and Vietnam, but England and France would not let anything happen to them.

"Get away from our kids!" they shouted as France held the rapier with England gripping the Lightning Tome of North America in his hands tightly.

England grabbed the rapier as well to pour the lightning of the tome into it. Both let out a yell before lunging to strike the darkness in a powerful bolt! England let go of France's hand to cast a powerful burst of it towards the darkness that cried out in pain.

With that, England, Romania, and Norway were standing in three different points that surrounded the darkness. Each raised a hand as lightning, fire, and ice gathered to it.

"Å bringe fred til familien min" Norway promised as ice sparkled around her.

"Un viitor pentru cei pe care îi prețuiesc" Romania whispered with the fire blazing from him.

"To create a world for everyone to live as friends and family in" England declared with lighting sparking from him.

All three cast their respective magics with the tomes bursting with their respective element to shout, "For a world where we can all live together in without your darkness!"

Ice, fire, and lightning struck the darkness and Chaos without remorse nor hesitation. However, it tried to escape from them by melting through the cracks and breaking through the ground.

"We need to keep it from escaping!" Canada shouted as Mexico struggled to stand up.

Romana and Feliciana helped him stand up as he held a thankful smile to them before holding the daggers in his hands.

"I can do it, but can you make sure it doesn't break through?" he asked of the sisters who shared a nod.

Feliciana held her bow and arrows while Romana had his pistol. Both ran in opposite directions as Mexico held the daggers in front of his face. He would not let the darkness and Chaos escape so easily from him.

"Non ti lascerò sfuggire al tuo destino!" Romana stated with a yell before taking a stance in front of Spain with her pistol in hand before pulling the trigger to get Chaos's attention.

"Questa volta, la tua oscurità non farà del male a nessuno che amo!" Feliciana admitted before standing in front fo Germany with her bow in her hands before releasing her arrows.

Mexico only smiled before taking a running start and holding the glowing daggers in his hands.

"El mundo es nuestro y seguirá brillando a nuestra imagen" Mexico whispered with a gri non his features before holding the daggers that glowed a red, green, and white light.

Sliding across the ground, Mexico struck the ground with the Daggrs of Latin America to pin Chaos and the darkness in place before joining the North American twins and Vietnam. It cried out and struggled to break free from their attacks and holds.

"No!" it yelled as it unleashed a powerful wave of darkness, "I refuse for this to be my end! Not now! I have come so far! This is not supposed to be my ending! I will take your lives before I fall!"

Suddenly, the group felt exhausted as the wave of darkness began to drain their energy and life away! They were sitting down, on their knees, or barely standing up against the darkness and Chaos. All of them wondered how they were going to free themselves from its hold.

Everyone outside of the palace saw the darkness swirling around the palace and wondered how they were fairing in all of this. The darkness was growing stronger, and some wondered if they needed help.

"Come on!" New Zealand shouted as he faced the palace, "I know you can do it! Australia, you are too thick headed to do anything reasonable! Why start now?!"

The rest of the U.K crew stared at him with a surprised expression until Uncle Scotland let out a laugh.

"Aye! He's right! You lot will never give up! Why do this now?! England, you are the most stubborn little brother that we raised! Yer not giving up here!" Scotland shouted with a laugh.

Monaco only shook her head before commenting, "Thank goodness my older brother is there to help them make sure that they do come back alive even if the odds are very low at this point"

Ireland remarked, "Hey! It is not just them! America is there as well! He's not going to let this end so easily if you ask me!"

"Ah, but Canada is also there! She'll make sure they are not in too much trouble either" Wales added in a reassuring tone.

Norn only sighed in relief before adding, "And we are together. I can see us making it through this without any issue at all! We just need to hang in there!"

Portugal laughed at them before staring at the palace with a knowing tone, "Spain isn't going to do nothing either. I can imagine him swinging his axe and fighting with everything he has"

Cuba scoffed before pointing out, "Si, si, but they better not give up. We've come this far! I will be so annoyed with them if they lost right here and now"

"I am sure they will win. We were there to help them! They will help us!" Ecuador reassured with a grin as he took off his hat and grinned.

Soon enough, others began to join in with their own words of encouragement as a power began to build up around them and to the palace.

"Ah, Russia has this. I have no doubt about that!" Ukraine cheered as he sat down and held a smile.

Belarus crossed her arms before snapping, "Of course, he can! He is our brother! We will not lose here!"

Moldova cheered as he jumped up and down, "Romania can do it! Romania can do it!"

Bulgaria picked him as he cheered along, "You better believe that your big brother can do this!"

Hong Kong crossed his arms while meditating to comment, "Like, we only have to wait for them to win. I trust them to win this. China and England got this"

"Wow, I didn't expect that from you, Hong Kong, but it is wonderful to know that you care about China and our family" Macau said in relief as he looked at the palace.

Taiwan was only cheering, "You can do it! China! Japan! Korea! Vietnam!"

Chosǒn held his hands tightly as he looked at the palace, "Yes, my older twin brother can do this. I know he, China, and Japan can do this. We have nothing to fear"

Mongolia was looking at the palace with a sigh, "I just wish they wouldn't take so long Seriously, what is taking them so long?"

Tibet reminded him as he meditated, "Ah, but patience is important. Since we know we will win, there is no reason for us to worry"

"And once we are done, we can have a wonderful feast to enjoy! I am sure this will be over in not time" India said in an excited tone.

"Norway! You can win!" Denmark shouted in delight as he cupped his hands around his mouth.

Sweden picked him up before saying, "Must you be so loud? We know Norway and the others will be fine. There is no reason to shout"

"Aw, but that is not so bad! It is good to cheer on Norway and our friends, Sweden" Finland reassured with a grin.

Iceland remarked, "But since we know Norway and the others are going to win, why do we have to wair?"

"Well, it will be over soon. We know they can do this" Greenland answered with a grin as he sat with Iceland.

Liechtenstein sang softly before whispering in a prayer, "I know Germany will come back to us with Feliciana and the others. We have no reason to fear"

"I am grateful that one of us believes this" Switzerland commented in an annoyed tone, "I just wish those jerks would hurry up already"

Hungary reminded him, "There is no reason to rush things. Germany, Feliciana, and Romana are going to handle it. We just need to wait and observe, right Austria? Austria?"

She turned to see her husband holding his violin and tuning it.

"I hear a melody forming" he informed her before beginning to play, "I intend for it to reach Germany and Feliciana"

A beautiful melody did resound around them with Austria continuing to play and have it reach them and everyone surrounding the palace.

"Ha! I didn't think the melody was real!" Turkey commented as he was sitting on the ground, "Well, you better get to playing, Cyprus! Everyone needs it!"

Cyprus held his tambourine and joined in to comment, "But will this work? Will this reach everyone?"

Greece acknowledged as he was laying on the ground, "While it may seem hopeless, it is worth mentioning that even miracles can happen. I do not see why not"

"Welp! I should probably get to singing!" Malaysia commented as he took a microphone and prepared to sing out to them and everyone.

"Will your voice even reach them? I know they are close to winning, but do they need your voice?" Singapore asked with a snicker as Malaysia glared at his brother.

Indonesia remarked as he stood between them, "We do not need another fight to happen. Just cheer them on and let this be over with soon"

"Aw! You even made Indonesia annoyed! What an achievement!" Philippines remarked with a snicker as he reassured, "Yeah, they've got this! We have nothing to worry about!"

Thailand added in a joyful tone, "I am grateful that we are aware of this. Now, we should only hope they can finish this before it gets out of hand"

Egypt closed his eyes as he heard the melody surrounding them to whisper, "A tune to bring everyone together. It makes you wonder if peace can truly be achieved like this"

"I do not see why not" Cameroon stated with a grin, "After all, we are talking to each other now. What more is there for us to do? I would say that would be meetings and being there!"

Kenya reminded, "And having the shield and Seychelles there is proof enough of it as well. I suppose there is nothing to worry with them since they did look after her"

"Aw! She was worried!" Botswana teased before reassuring, "At least we are here and together. That means something! That I am sure of!"

South Africa shouted, "So, what are we waiting for?! If this how we are going to help them, then we should be shouting to our hearts content!"

"Not too loud! We want to make sure we are helping them!" Zimbabwe reminded him as she hummed to herself.

Ghana laughed before adding, "And that it is a melody! Though, everyone shouting the same ideas and hopes is a step in the right direction!"

"I couldn't agree more" Uganda said in relief, "We are working together to a common goal. What more could anyone else want?"

"Spain! Everyone! Please do not give up!" Belgium cheered as she waved her hands.

Netherlands remained quiet as Luxembourg shouted, "Romania! Everyone! Hang in there! A little more to go!"

His two younger siblings turned to look at him as he sighed before shaking his head.

"Hey, Canada, Spain, Romania, don't lose. It would look bad for me if you started to lose here" Netherlands stated firmly with a rare smile on his features with his siblings cheering.

Poland cupped her hands around her mouth to shout, "Hey! I know I totally kicked your butts, but that doesn't mean you give up here! Got that?!"

"I must agree! We may have beaten you a couple of times, but there is no reason to back down now!" Lithuania added warmly.

"By my calculations, they will win, so we have no real reason to fear at all" Estonia commented as he pushed his glasses up on his face.

"R-really?! Oh, what a relief! We will win! They will win!" Latvia said before sitting down and finally relaxing.

Czechia puffed her cheeks before shouting, "Hey! If we are stronger and smarter, than win this already! What is taken you so long?!"

"Ah, just relax, Czech. I am sure they know what they are doing" Slovakia reassured her with a grin, "We just need to hang in there a little bit, ok?"

Croatia finished, "And be there for the finale as well. We have nothing to worry about now"

Austria continued to play his violin as the voices turned into a wonderful chorus to echo around them. They could hear everyone's cheers, hopes, dreams, loves, and cares for them and their world.

"No! What is the cursed song?!" Chaos snarled as it was getting weaker from it, "How is it here?! How are you able to do this to me?!"

"Don't hold back!" China shouted as he noticed how weak it was becoming, "We can finish this!"

With that, they rushed to fight Chaos and the darkness one last time. They worked together to fight, protect, and cover each other from Chaos and the darkness before turning away from each other.

Vietnam stared at the twins of North America who were ready for a fight and realized that was it. This was the moment that she needed! They wanted to do something and knew that they could! She knew that feeling and was ready to give it to them!

"America! Canada! Are you ready?" Vietnam asked as both turned to her, "I will awaken your powers and have you strike Chaos!"

Her powers were glowing from her hands as she felt the warmth and power coming from it. The North American twins were stunned by it as China and Japan stared at her.

"That light!" Japan remarked in relief as China said in a hopeful tone, "It is time!"

"Wake it up! Release your powers as the Twins of North America!" Vietnam ordered as she clutched her hands tightly into a fist before slamming it to the ground to release a powerful wave of green energy throughout the field!

"Hehe, we got it, Vietnam!" America shouted in a determined tone before running forward.

"We won't let you down either!" Canada agreed as she followed her twin and charged ahead.

Together, they grabbed each other's hands and standing before Chaos and the darkness as a powerful white light shined over them and everyone, uniting their hopes, dreams, ambitions, and thoughts for a better world for everyone to live in peace and haramony in! The white light engulfed Chaos and the darkness as everyone watched in anticipation.

"Korea! Japan! Now!" China shouted with a knowing smile as they nodded to him and charged towards Chaos and the darkness.

Three dragons burst from them as they charged towards the back of the darkness and Chaos. Japan let the red and white dragon coil around it as Korea's red and blue dragon held it in place. This left China's golden dragon to fly above and roar before unleashing a final golden beam to pierce through the darkness and Chaos once and for all! A white light engulfed them and soon, they found themselves standing in an area of light and nothingness.

"What is this place?" France asked as he held onto England.

Only a voice replied, "This is a place where nothing existed. It was where Chaos and I resided before I began to create your world"

Everyone remained quiet and waited as the voice then focused on the North American twins.

"As for you two" the voice said in an interested tone, "Are you truly satisfied with the result that you have created? Although Chaos and the darkness have been purged from this area of the world, it could return. Are you truly fine with this choice of yours?"

"No doubt!/ Of course!" America and Canada answered without hesitation and smiles of their own.

America finished his thought to answer, "Yes, the world may fall into Chaos and darkness again, but that doesn't we and others along the line won't be there to stop it. You've got nothing to worry about it!"

The voice only laughed before admitting, "I had an inkling that would be your answer. Well, I suppose that this is the end then. Thank you for saving this world and wishing for it to continue. Until we meet again"

The voice was pleased with their answer before returning them to the ruined palace to reunite with those they cared and loved. Everyone waited at the entrance of the palace, hoping that they light that had consumed it did not consume them.

"There they are!" Norn shouted as they finally emerged from the ruined palace and reunited with everyone again.

Cheers and shouts were exclaimed from everyone as they were embraced, held, and kissed in relief at being reunited with each other. Tears of joy, laughter of delight, and sighs of relief were shared between everyone as they were pleased to be in the company of each other.

Japan smiled at his siblings before coming an important conclusion to then bowing to them, "I am going to Europa. I need to understand the people of this world more. If it is alright with my friends, Germany and Feliciana, I would like to travel with them."

China was apprehensive of the idea, but Germany stood behind Japan with Feliciana wrapping her arms around them in a hug and held a smile.

Feliciana said confidently, "You don't have to worry! We will make sure Japan is safe with us when he's at Europa!"

"We will also make sure his trip is educational and beneficial to you and everyone else" Germany added with a smile of his own.

China thanked them as he then brought up an important question, "What shall we do about the Artifacts of the World? It would be dangerous to keep it one place"

Romania held his tome close to him as he answered with a grin as Moldova hugged his leg and Bulgaria stood with him, "I'm keeping the tome with me. It has been with my family for ages, so you don't need to worry about it falling into the wrong hands"

"The same goes for me as well" England answered in a calm tone as he sat next to France, "My mother gave this tome to me. I will be traveling with my family, so it will not be in anyone else's hands"

Norway finished as she was happily standing with her family, "I also plan to keep this tome with me too. I plan to learn more about this magic"

With that, the Three Tomes of Europa would remain in the hands and families of Romania, Norway, and England to be used in times of darkness and chaos.

Mexico stood up before marching up to Cuba and placed the Daggers of Latin America in his hands!

"Well, take care of them! I know you are good at hiding things and making sure no finds it either!" Mexico stated with a grin, "Of course, we can take turns watching over it too! We are staying together!"

Cuba stared at daggers as Ecuador sat between them and pulled both into a hug as they laughed and agreed to do just that. The Daggers of Latin America remained with the trio and were used in dire situations.

Seychelles stared at the Shield of Afri before gazing at England and France and the Afri Traders.

Kenya asked in a knowing tone, "Still deciding on where to go?"

"Actually, I already made my choice. The shield only adds to it. I know that the Shield of Afri could not remain in Europa. I know it will be safe in Afri, where I plan to go next with the Traders"

She turned to England and France who proud of her for making this choice and fully supported her on this. Both shared a warm embrace with her before she went to stand with the Afri Traders. The Shield of Afri would be called again to defend the continent for outsiders who dared tries to harm it.

Australia swung the Oceanic Axe around without a care until Scotland picked up Australia to hold him in place.

New Zealand took the axe to reassure everyone, "Do not worry. We will make sure the axe is hidden away for safe keeping Oceanic. You have nothing to fear"

The Oceanic Axe would remain in Oceanic for a time and used to ensure of the safety of the islands in the vast ocean would be safeguarded for years to come.

America asked loudly in a realized tone with a hint of curiousity, "What about Canada and me? What about Vietnam and her brothers? Will our powers be gone forever?"

China shook his head calmly as he answered, "No. The powers of North America will have their powers passed on through your families. As for our powers, we have that ability to pass the power on."

The Three Dragons of Asiand would be seen in more places than Asiand, helping others, giving protection, and fighting against all odds.

The Twins of North America did pass on through their families, but it mostly remained in North America. It was there to protect the people's speech, rights, and hopes for the world.

As for the Unity power that dwelled inside of Vietnam, her powers were rarely seen throughout the world. Historians speculate that her powers were not needed unless the world truly desired it. For now, it remained the most hidden out of every Artifact of the World.

With that matter settled, they got to work making a wonderful feast for everyone to enjoy! Everyone cheered in delight as they began to cook for each other as the others cleaned up the palace a bit. The feast was loud and hearty, but Vietnam took a glass of water and left the dining room. She was outside as she calmly drank the water in a quiet place.

"Hey, are you ok" America asked as he walked up to her from behind with a drink of his own and smile to match to stand next to her.

"I'm doing fine. I'm just thinking," she admitted.

America nodded as silence fell over them.

"So, what are you going to do?" he asked curiously.

She honestly wasn't sure. She knew China was going to continue to rule Asiand. Macau and Thailand were going to research more about the Artifact of the World with the rest of the Southeast Knights and Monaco's assistance to Macau. Hong Kong was going to go with Seychelles for a bit and then travel to the Western Europa. Japan already made plans with his friends to go to Europa. Taiwan was going to help their people with the transportation of material and to strengthen the relationship between the people and their kingdoms. North and South were going to travel around Asiand and help their people.

She answered, "I am not sure. What about you?"

America was caught off guard with her question. He actually did not think about it, because his sister was going back to North America to continue their business. Mexico had decided to sail back to Latina. America wasn't sure what he was going to do. He did want to confess to her how he felt, but he also knew he wasn't royalty. If anyone deserved Vietnam, it was someone of royalty and who could get her anything she desired. He did not want to not tell her about how he felt.

He took in a calm breath as he was about to ask her his question when China shouted, "Are you two doing ok?!"

He walked towards them as America took a step away from Vietnam. He was grateful it was night. The night prevented her from seeing his blushing face. He already knew China knew about his crush on his sister.

"We are ok. How is everyone else?" Vietnam asked as she turned away from America.

China answered with a laugh, "Everyone is drunk or eating. How are you two doing?"

Vietnam gave a straight face as she said she was fine while America mumble, "Fine."

China smiled at the two of them in a knowing tone and waited for their response.

America wanted to leave Vietnam to talk with her older brother, but a familiar voice said warmly, "Ah! America! There you are!"

America could not believe his luck. It was Mongolia. America quickly went up to him while Vietnam looked at him confused.

China simply smiled as he asked, "So, everyone knows what they are going to do after today. What will you do?"

Vietnam was not sure. She had to think about this. What did she want to do? What would make her happy? Mongolia had led America away from China and Vietnam. The two chatted as they shared a few drinks together.

"So, what's next for you?" Mongolia asked curiously.

America glanced at Vietnam and then returned his attention to Mongolia as he said, "I have to make sure our home is ok. I'll have to manage the store on my own as my twin sister handles the other half of it"

Mongolia listened attentively as he saw America look at Vietnam a few times.

"I plan to leave tomorrow morning with Canada and the Latin America group on our plan," America finished in a rare serious tone.

This surprised Mongolia. He did not think America would leave so soon and with them so quickly.

"What about Vietnam?" Mongolia asked concerned.

America answered sadly, "She would be better off without me. She's a smart, beautiful, brave, and strong lady. I can't make her happy. Not with this simple life I have. It would be better for both of us if I leave her alone."

Mongolia knew China was not wrong about America. America loved and cared about Vietnam.

"You should at least tell her before you leave. If you tell her, then she'll know and you'll know," Mongolia advised.

Meanwhile, China said, "Well, you don't have to stay here. You can go wherever you want. What would you like to do?"

Vietnam knew her brother was right. She noticed America eyeing her lately.

"You know, I do owe America my life. He did help me. He even protected you from all harm. He's quite the gentleman. What do you think of him?" China asked in an honest and knowing tone to her.

Vietnam was surprised by his question. He did notice how protective America was with her. He was looking out for her. She realized she felt something for him. As she turned around to face, he had already left. She was a bit disappointed as China stood next to her.

"If you're curious, he loves you too," China said as he walked back to the party with Mongolia.

Vietnam knew what she had to do tomorrow morning.

The next morning, America had gathered his belongings and was on the plane. He was waiting for Mexico to come on board the ship and depart for North America with Canada making sure the plane was ready to go. America turned to the beautiful scenery of Asiand with a small, sad smile. He turned to prepare the plane to leave only to stop when he heard someone calling his name.

"America!" Vietnam shouted as she ran towards him with her bag and paddled!

He was very surprised to see her here with her belongings and wondered what she was doing here.

"I'm coming with you! You can't change my mind!" Vietnam said seriously before throwing her stuff in the plane.

America was filled so much that he picked up Vietnam, twirled her around, and shared a kiss. Both shared a laugh and cheer before boarding the plane and waiting for the rest of the Latin America group to arrive, but they were not worried at all. For they knew that their world would be filled with love, adventure, dangers, peace, and joy that both were missing in their own world.
