Battle for escape
WARNING!!! CONTAINS SWEARING!!! Also, THIS IS A LONG CHAPTER!!!
Ula's P.o.V

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a dark room. I sat up in complete confusion and looked around.
- What the hell's going on?- I ask myself as I stand up. There was a candle and a box of matches on a table. Next to it was some paper, a marker, a wristwatch and a note. I take the note and read it. All it said was "Complete the Hosting Game". The Hosting game? I think Beata mentioned it. So, I have to take the candle, light it up, go to the furthest point from the "hosting room", walk into every room and say "I will be ready. Soon." I lit up the candle and saw something on the other side of the note. I turn it around and see a continuation. It read " Don't bother with the beggining. It's all done. Just invite the guests." Okay, so, I take the marker and the watch. I wrote "You are invited to a gathering hosted by Ūla! It takes place between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. Bring your friends!" I let out a shaky breath as I put down the piece of paper on the floor with shaky hands. I walk to the doorway and face the room.
- I am ready. You may....... come in.- I hesitate to say. Once the final words were said, I blow out my candle and quickly turn around, but not before grabbing the matches. I take out the first match. I count to 10 out loud. Once I reached ten I striked the candle. It didn't light up. Okay..... I immediately drop it and proceed to light the next match. It didn't light on the first strike. I drop it. Okay, I'm getting a bit freaked out, but I try to remain calm. I shakily take out the third and final match. If this match doesn't light up, I am completely screwed. I gulp and with a lot of hesitance I strike the third match.

It.
Did.
Not.
Light.
Up.

I drop the final match with complete horror. I have three uninvited guests behind me. All of them are evil spirits or even demons!
- Wait, WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN NONE OF THEM LIGHT UP?!- I yell in my brain. If all of them light up, you have to say something. But what do you do when they don't?! Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap! Then I remembered! Light the nearest light next to you. I remember that there was a light switch from the room! I quickly reach my hand into the room behind me and flick it. A flickering light appeared in the room. Then I looked into the room. Three children were sitting in a circle in fromnt of me. A girl and two boys. The girl had auburn hair tied back into twintails, lightly tanned skin and a red, puffed out dress along with black knee high socks. The boy across from her had short, reddish-black hair, pale skin and he wore a black uniform. The other boy behind them had really pale blond hair, pale skin and he wore a brown cap. He also wore black leather gloves, a white dress shirt, black pants and dress shoes. All of their heads turned to me. The girl had amber eyes, the boy across from her had dark red eyes and the boy between them had lavender eyes. Once they saw me, they grinned. They all stood up and turned towards me. Then they grinned and all said at the same time:
- We've been expecting you, Ula. Now you'll be ours.....- They all reached behind their backs and pulled out seperane knives. I slowly start to back away.
- FOREVER!!!- They all yelled as they started to chase me. I ran as fast as I could. I could hear all of them giggleing behind me. I tried my best to flap my wings. If I did, I would trip and they would catch up. If that happened, I quickly stood up and ran. I then saw an open door and ran into it. Once the door closed, I heard banging from the other side and even scratches from the knives that they had. I just shook in the corner listening to the voices outside.
- You can't-a hide forever~!- The girl sang.
- We wirr make you exit the room~!- The uniform boy said.
- Und* ve vill make you cry~!- The other boy said with a clear german accent. I just kept shaking and rocking back and forth in the corner, crying.
- Please make this stop, please make this stop, please make this stop, please make this stop!- I kept thinking. SOMEONE, HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!!!

England's P.o.V

My eyes snapped open and I saw no one next to me, which was very odd. I remember Ula being in my arms last night. Speaking of things out of place, I felt a weird..... wind in the room. It was there before dissapearing two seconds later. I look to my window, but notice that it's closed. Very odd indead. A weird smell entered my nostrils.
- Bloody hell, it smells like rotten eggs in here.- I say as I pinch my nose. Wait, rotten eggs? I look around and see a bit of yellow powder leading from Ula's side of the bed to the window behind me. I stand up and follow the trail. I did notice that the window was opened, but only barely. Sulfur leading towards the window? My heart dropped once I figured it out. ULA WAS KIDNAPPED BY A DEMON!!! I quickly ran out of the room and I ran outside. Once I was outside I bumped into Beatrice, knocking her over. As she fell, her glasses flew off her face. I kneel down to her, seeing if she was alright.
- Are you alright, love?- I ask, helping her up. Her eyes open and they were all blurry. I then saw Beatrice's face pale and her hand starts to stretch out and wave around.
- E-England...?! What's going on?!- She said with worry and distress in her voice. She then stopped when she spoke. She made a weird clicking noise with her tongue and she started to look around. She kept making the clicking sound and looked around. After a few moments, she looked down and saw her glasses at her feet.
- Ah, there they are.- She said right before putting them on.- There. Much better.
- What... was that, love?- I ask her.
- Oh, right. When my glasses fell off everything went black, until I talked, that is. Then a weird blue wave was sent out whenever I spoke, and I saw everything around be illuminate before returning back to black. Then I clicked my tongue, and the light reappeared again and the same thing happened. So I used it to my advantage.- Beatrice explained. - Looks like I'm the element of Sound. Great, I'm the blind one.

What in the world did that mean? "The blind one"? Okay, weird.
- Anyway, we should probably go to the deck. Let's see where the others are held at.- She said before walking off. After a minute we enter the deck to see everyone there. Well, except Ula that is. I could feel my heart going 100 kilometers per hour every second she's gone.
- Looks like everyone's here.- Germany said.
- So, acording to Lydia, the others are here.- Grace said as she pointed to a red dot on the screen.- Sadly, she won't be able to help because she's severely injured.
- Well, that's wonderful.- I say with sarcasm. Beatrice elbows me in the stomach.
- Ow!
- Hmph.
- So, vhat's our plan?- Prussia asks.
- Vell...- Germany says before explaining the plan. After Beatrice gave the OK, we headed to the location. I just hope that it works...

Liepa's P.o.V

I helped Audra drag in two new prisoners. One of them was a ninja that escaped. Surprisingly, she was half dragon! So, because of it, we have to keep her in the part of the castle for the "special" prisoners. Like the Fauchereve! He was kept there!
- Okay, Liepa. I'm going to put this little dragon whore in her cell. You go put the other one in one of the ordinary cells.- Audra said before picking up the ninja girl and ran (really fast) to the other side of the castle.
- Alright!- I say. I use my powers to make it so that some plants could carry the girl for me. While I walked to the cells, I got a good look at the girl. She was a mistake, to be honest. She got accidentally teleported here from a world where these things called "inklings" exist. Besically, they're half human half squid. Only they get injured if they touch water, which is quite weird. But, the CAN swim in their own ink. Instead of hair she had two tenticles, which were blonde. Last time I saw her with her eyes, they were blue. She also had pale skin and she had only three fangs for teeth. After a while I finally reached the cells. When I opened the door to the cell room, the only counsious' person's head slowly rose.
- G-great.... you're here...- She said with a hoarse voice. I pout.
- Well, at least I'm better than Audra.- I point it out with my thick English accent. True, Audra is my dearest and closest friend, but she can be really cruel when she's in the mood. Yukkiko's eyes narrowed at me, her eyes shaking. The reason why everyone else was out is because the Queen took all of their powers, which left them really weak, barely even alive. Surprisingly, Yuki isn't completely dependant on her powers. She moved her eyes downward and I smiled.
- Hey, deary, don't be so down~! At least, not until we're done with you, that is~!- I say with a cheery voice as I put the inkling next to Yukkiko.
- Even Lord Garmadon wasn't as cruel as all of you... Especially with taking my niece as a vessel...- Her hoarse voice rang again. I frowned and stood up, dusting my dress in the process.
- Well, not all of us are cruel. Like Siegmund*. He's silent 24/7 and he doesn't dare hurt anyone. He's just too into depression to. Though, some aren't as innocent. As you've seen, Luciana can be.... well, cruel. But I've heard that that's because she's afraid of being vulnerable. She lost her first love as a child, poor thing...- I explain and look down in pity. Suddenly my eyes lit up and I gave a bright smile to Yukkiko. Her amber red eyes widened a bit in fright.
- Don't worry though. I'll ask her to go easy on you.- I say before leaving and locking the cell door. I pulled and pushed it, just to make sure that it wouldn't budge, and it did. I then smile and wave to Yukkiko.
- Bye, deary~!- I say. When I was outside I bumped into Siegfried. I look up for my cyan blue eyes to meet his lavender ones. I smiled brightly at him.
- 'Ello there, Siegfried!- I say. I see a miniature smile grace his lips.
- Hallo, Liepa.- He responds. I look under his left eye and see ,what looked like, a smudge. I took my handkerchief and cleaned the dirt away. Immediately, I felt Siegfried stiffen and look at me with wide and scared eyes like a child that's been caught stealing from the cookie jar. Once the smudge faded my eyes widened. That wasn't dirt on his face. It was dried blood. Under it was a fresh scar.
- Siegfried! What in the world happened to you?!- I ask, shocked, as I cupped his cheek and started inspecting it. I could tell Siegfried was scared of something. What, though?! Suddenly I see Luciana walking over to us with an angry glare in her eyes.
- What the FUCK are you two doing?!- She asks in her Italian accent. I move my hand away from Siegfried's face (which I could tell he was glad for) and instead put both of my hands on my hips.
- Sorry for being a FRIEND, Luciana! You DO know that Siegfried has a scar now, right?!- I retort. I saw Luciana grind her teeth.
- Duh! I was the one who gave it to-a him!- She says just as angerly. My eyes widened then narrowed. I could feel my eyes darken and I started to give off a dangerous aura.
- You BITCH!!! - I yell as I sent poisonous and dangerous plants her way. She 'tch'ed and cut them with her knife, which automatically had poison on them. Tch, smartass. I then sent out power draining plants and they wrapped around Luciana's frame. She struggled, but they didn't budge. Two spiky flowers appeared and one latched onto her nape while the other one latched onto where her heart was. Once they did, Luciana squeezed her eyes shut and grinded her teeth, letting out a small groan of pain. A sick smile formed on my lips. My hands slowly formed into fists and as that happened, the flowers started to glow a sickly purple.
- Gah!- Luciana exclaimed as the flowers started to drain her ability to use poison, which was her element. Looks like nature can overpower it~! The more sounds of pain came out of that italian bitch's mouth, the wider my smile became. I could feel how my hair deflated and became straight and my eyes started to swirl with pink.
- Liepa!- I could feel a voice beside me before being thrown against the wall and lose my concentration. I fell to the ground and I barely saw how the flowers detached from Luciana's body and she fell as well. I could see a dark blur move over to me and grip my shoulders.
- Liepa! Ar tau viskas gerai*?!- I barely hear Audra's voice from the ringing in my ears.
- She'll be fine. The blast wasn't that strong.- I hear the Queen's voice. Fuck. I messed up big time. I could weakly see Siegfried's form go over to the bitch. How can he still care for her when she scarred him?! I could see my vision darken and me becoming weaker.
- Liepa! Stay with me....!- I could hear Audra's voice echoing in my ears before everything went black.

???'s P.o.V

I was surrounded by black and emptyness. After a bit, I started to regain my senses and I could feel that I was on a cold, stone floor and I heard something similair to a voice.
- Wah~! Please be alright, friend~!- I hear it say. After a while, I slowly open my blue eyes and look around.
- Ah! You're awake~! Thank god~!- It says again. I look to my left and saw a man around the age of 19 above me. He had slightly wavy brown hair with a weird curl at the top. His eyes were almost unnaturally bright blue, with pale skin and freckles adorning his cheeks. I slowly sit up, grabbing my head because it hurt a lot.
- Please don't push yourself, friend~!- I hear the man say as he helped me lean on a wall.
- My name is the Fauchereve, but you can just call me Reve! All my friends do!- He says.
- My name's Mirayo. Mirayo Yamazaki.- I say before I extend my hand out to shake. Reve looks at it with a confused face before shaking it.
- So why's someone like you here?- I ask him.
- Well, that's because I'm a dream creature.- He explains.- What about you?
- I'm the master of wind.- I say as I look down on my hands. Recently, I've gotten the ability to transform into a dragon, but when I turn back into a human, I still have a few golden scales on my face and body.
- Are you a dragon, by any chance?- Reve asks me. I look at him with slightly wide eyes.
- Yea, I am. It was the scales, weren't they?- I asks him and he nodds. I look around us and right across from us was a dragon with a woman next to him, caring for his wounds. That's Chihiro and Haku!
- Chihiro!- I yell and I see the brunette's head turn to me. Once she saw me, her eyes lit up.
- Mirayo! You're alive! We thought you were a goner!- She says quietly, but loud enough for me to hear her from right across me. I look at Haku and see that he had multiple injuries and had a silver muzzle.
- What hapened?- I ask. Chihiro's eyes traveled down to her husband, a worried and sad emotion visible in her eyes.
- I.... don't know.- She responded.- Haku usualy recovers by now. I don't know why he's still out...
I look at her with pity. I then ask:
- Is Ayame safe?
I see Chihiro's eyes water up at the name of her daughter. My own eyes widened and my heart started to beat faster.
- She's anything BUT safe... It's all my fault...- Chihiro said while hiding her face in her palms.
- Whatever happened to her is deffinantly not your fault.- I say. The brunette just shook her head.
- She's the Shadow Queen's vessel!- Chihiro told me. I felt like something knocked he wind out of me. No..... That can't be right... Suddenly I see a woman comming out of the window. She had honey blonde hair and cristalite blue eyes. She looked around and made a signal for someone to come. She then jumped down and I saw Grace jump down next to her.
- Grace!- I say.
- Beatrice!- Reve said at the same time. The girl (which I think her name is Beatrice) made a shushing motion. Our mouths immediately closed. Beatrice looked around and went over to my cell. While she was going over to it, I could see more people coming from the (now broken) window. By now, I was quite suspicious. Reve noticed this because he smiled at me and said:
- Don't worry! They're my friends and they're here to help, right?
- Yup.- Beatrice resonded and looked at Reve with slight pity. Reve was confused, but Beatrice said that she would explain later. Then a man with messy blonde hair, emerald eyes and EXTREMELY bushy eyebrows walked over to her.
- Ah, this enchantment. It's quite powerful, but it has it's weakness.- He says with a weird accent. Then he walked back a bit and a weird green blast shoots from his hands, which breaks the lock. That blast.... No, it can't be... Beatrice looks at the man with a shocked/confused face. The man looked at the blonde with confusion.
- What was that?- He asked. Beatrice just shook her head and opened the door.
- Nevermind that. For now, let's focus on getting them out of here.- She said as she helped me to my feet. One my left leg touched the ground, I flinched. Great, a twisted ankle.
- Tch, bastard 2P's.- She said under her breath.- Reve! Could you help me with her, please?
- Of course!- Reve said before he hooked my free and around his shoulders. With their help, they got me out of there. Beatrice then helped me lean against the wall and when she did, she left to the other cell. Because of that blast, it appeared like the other lock was innefective as well. She walked in and made a very low sound. To someone, it sounded like she was doing nothing, but she was making an extremely low sound. After a bit, a good part of the muzzle broke and she easily slipped it off of Haku. When it was finally removed, Haku's eyes slowly opened.
- Haku! You're alright!- Chihiro said with joy as she hugged her lover. I saw Beatrice smile before looking at one of the other men that came. He had black hair with brown eyes.
- Japan! Can you give me the medicine, please?- She asked. The man nodded and gave her a pouch of something. She reached in and took out a weird ball. Chihiro looked at it with nostalgia.
- Remember this? Don't worry, it's not as horrible-tasting and the healing properties are much more powerful and faster. Open up.- Beatrice explained before Haku opened his mouth and she blonde female tossed it in there. Haku swallowed it with a bit of disgust, and soon enough started to transform back into his human form. Once he did, Beatrice stood up and helped Haku to his feet and lead both him and Chihiro out of the cell. While all of that was going on, the man from earlier healed my ankle and I could walk properly. Beatrice stood and said:
- Alright, we got them out. Now we need to sneak past the 2P's and the Queen and release the ninja's. Grace, do you remember where they're kept?
- Yes. They should be down the hall from here.- Grace responded.
- Good. Germany, alert us if you feel anyone comming towards us or near the cells.- Beatrice ordered a tall man with slicked blonde hair and he nodded.
- Understood.- He said in a low, accented voice. Beatrice nodded.
- Japan, please lead out the captors to safety. And before you protest, you were heavily injured and you're not prepared to fight. Please, get to safety. Ninjago and other nations need you, so please, for all of our sakes, be safe.- Beatrice asked. Me, Chihiro and Haku nodded as we were leaded out by the black haired male. I hope everything will be okay and that the others will be saved...

Beatrice's P.o.V

My heart beat so fast. It was weird to be a leader, but it felt amazing at the same time! I guess this is how Erwin feels like during expeditions..... Huh... Anyways, I saw Japan leading out the others to safety. Once I saw them out of eyeshot, I turned to Veneciano.
- Veneciano, if anything happens and me, Germany, England, Grace and/or Prussia can't unlock the cells and let the others out, we're counting on you, understood?- I ask with a serious voice. The brunette's eyes widen and she starts to shake a bit.
- M-m-me?- She asks nervously. I nod my head with certainty.
- Yes, you. You're our last hope, Veneciano. Your our make it or brake it member.- I say. I see Veneciano gulp and nod nervously.
- Understood.- She said with the strongest voice that she could muster up. I nod and turn back to everyone else.
- Now that that's settled, let's go!- I say before quietly leaving the "special" area, hearing the others following behind me. I look around and once I see no one and hear no aditional noises, I give a signal to move. I could already see the door, but I heard something moving around and I saw a black blob with hands crawl over to us.
- Shadow incoming!- I say as I see it open a jagged mouth and it forming into something. Out of the corner of my eye, I see four more shadows aproaching. I turn my head to Veneciano. I put my hand into the pouch Japan gave me and take out a key (Which looked oodly enough like Eren's celler key...).
- Veneciano! Take the key and go save the others! We'll take care of the shadows!- I say before throwing the key her direction. She barely caught it, but she nodded once she did.
- Yes, Beatrice!- She said before running into the cells. Just as Veneciano left, more and more shadows appeared. I backed up until I felt the others against my back. I grind my teeth and prepare my body.
- Everyone, fight with all you've got! Never give up!- I encourage. I feel the others nod and go attack the shadows. The shadow in front of me shifts and becomes a black and blue swirled ball with a mouth and a long ass tongue. Ah, these ones. Lightning is powerful against them, but since Veneciano is out at the moment, it looks like sound will have to do. I put my palms at the side of my mouth and screetch as loud as I could. I could see sound waves traveling through the air and towards the shadow. I could see in shake and back up a bit. While it was distracted, I stopped screetching and ran towards it with my hands at my sides. I jump off a pillair and hit the shadow at it's weak spot, a mask on it's back. Once the mask broke, the shadow turned into black smoke and dissolved into the air. I turn around and see another shadow form into a Dancing Hand. God, that part of the game... Why...? I shudder, but I stand strong and look it in the face. The Dancing Hand looks like a hand with a pink glove, a ring and a shadow mask at the top. It's fingers are used as legs. I tch. These are pretty fast. It might be a problem to take them down. I take a spear that was hanging from the wall and travel as quickly and as silently as I could. I stand at a wall with a few swords slightly poking my back.
- Hey! I'm over here, idjit!- I yell to the shadow. It's "head" turns to me and it starts to run at me. Once I see the shadow being within two meters from me, I jump into the air, flip around so I could face the shadow and stab it through the mask with the spear. Again, the shadow dissolves into black smoke and vanishes. I look back at the others. They were busy with other shadows, Grace using light to kill shadows, the others doing similair actions. Suddenly I heard the sound of something zipping through the air and I deflected it with my spear. Turns out, it was a knife. There's only one person that I know who could throw knifes. I look up and it looks like I was right.
- What's-a wrong? Can't fight a woman?- Luciana says with sly tone in her voice. I grit my teeth and stand straight. I could barely see how she was slightly limping. Looks like she's down a bit. I hold my spear in front of me and I see Luciana grin and walk over to me. She then reached behind her and took a blade and ran full speed at me. I reacted quickly and deflated her blows with my spear. Once she hit it, the poison from it burned through the wood, making it useless. My jaw tightened as I threw it away. Every time she slashed at me, I would jump back. After a bit, I saw Luciana growing tired. She slashed at me one more time before taking a second to catch her breath. I used this to my advantage. I jumped over her and kicked her in the back. For a girl like me, I have one hell of a nasty kick. So ,with that, she fell to the ground. I dusted my hands and stood above her panting form.
- Looks like you're the weak one, Luciana.- I say, coldly. I could see her fists slightly tighten, but I payed her no mind. I looked at the 1P's and my eyes widened. One by one they fell to the floor, injured. I could then see Luciana trying to get up, and I heard her laughing. My gaze went down to her. She stood up and wobbled a bit on her feet, while clutching her left shoulder.
- You fell-a right into our-a trap!- She says and I grit my teeth. I could see the others slowly stand up with a purple aura around them and they all had golden eyes. Damn it! They became shadows! I quickly kick Luciana in the side and in her jaw, making her fall to the ground unconsious. Now I have another problem, the others. How di I get the shadows out of them without killing them?! I gulped and grabbed another spear from the wall and charged at them. Unlike actual shadows, they didn't have shadow masks, so it's not as easy. I gulp again as I saw Prussia charging at me. My grip tightens on my spear as I deflect white fire being thrown at me by Prussia himself. Said albino threw another fireball at me, but I (somehow) kicked it back at him, and that made the shadow in him evaporate. One down, three to go. Germany, England and Grace are left. I look at said entities and bite my lower lip. Grace opened her tessens and went straight for me. For a 13 year old, she is STRONG. I try to avoid her attacks, but I fail sometimes. I was sent flying to the wall, which resulted in me losing my spear. I saw Grace smiling at me and walking over to me. I took a deep breath and let out a melodic sound, something similair to a lullaby. I see Grace stop and sway to the music a bit. After a while her eyelids slowly drop and the shadow escapes from her and dissapears. After that, her body fell unconsious. I stood up and grabbed my spear. Two left. This time, they're the strongest. I see Germany making the ground under my feet rise, but that was quite a foolish move. I could hear Guren no Yumiya ringing in my ears and I could feel adrenaline pumping through my veins. I could simply see myself wearing the Wings of Freedom on my back as I jump off the small pillair of earth and go for Germany. Once I land I saw England shooting green energy towards me and Germany throwing punches. I really didn't want to hurt my friends, but I have no other choice. I avoided their attempts to hurt me and I stab the spear through the ground and ,with it's help, I kicked both nations in the jaw, leaving them on the ground unconsious. I could see the shadows leave their bodies and dissolve into nothing. I quickly walk over to the room with the cells to check up on them. Sure enough, everyone regained consiouseness and Veneciano helped an...... inkling (?) out of one of the cells. Veneciano looked up at me with her closed eyes and she smiles.
- Beatrice! You're safe, ve~!- She said with a happy tone. I gave her a tired smile and see something at the end of the hall. I look at it and it looks like a big ball of black smoke. I walk over to it and I saw Ula in it. My eyes widen and I bang at it, earning no response from her.
- Ula! Wake up! Please!- I beg her. Then I do the only thing I could think of.

Seid ihr das Essen?
Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

I could clearly hear the instrumental begin. My eyes burn with a passion for Ula to get out of her state.

Our names won't be remembered

If we die like trampled flowers
I refuse to be forgotten
Written off as less than worthless

Scream and cry
But none will hear you
Plead and beg
But none will help you
You no longer live as cattle
Will you rise and join the battle?

There are beings that live off of fears
And their words are like knives
As they play with our lives

They'll try to control you
As if they own you
Will you let them steal your freedom?

Channel the anger swelling inside you
Fighting the boundary 'till you break through
Deep in your soul there's no hesitation
So make yourself the one they all fear!

There is a wild fire inside you
Burning desire you can't extinguish
Your crimson arrow
Rips through the twilight
This is the moment for war!

I could see Ula's eyebrows scrunch up as the smoke cracked like glass and dissolved. I caught Ula's body before she hit her head on the cold stone floor. I slowly see her turqoise eyes crack open and relief went through my body like waves.
- You're awake! Finally!- I say gently. She looks at me with tired, but happy eyes.
- Beatrice....? I'm awake?- She asks with a fragile voice. I nod my head.
- Yea, and I'm glad for it.- I tell her as I help her to her feet. She wobbles a bit, but I catch her before she falls.
- Easy there, Ula.- I tell her gently. I lead her out and when I did, I saw that everyone regained consiouseness and I mentally sighed in relief. I saw Japan comming from the special area to look around in confusion. I look back at the weakend Ula next to me.
- You're not fighting this battle.- I tell her bluntly. Her eyes widen with shock.
- What?! No! I want to-NEED to- fight!- She says. I just shake my head.
- No, you're not.- I repeat.
- But-
- No but's. You're not fighting and that's final.- I tell her, a slight hint of anger and annoyance in my voice. I see Ula pout and look down in defeat. I really don't like seeing her pout or be unhappy, but I won't let her throw herself into battle when she's still weak. She could die! And I'm not gonna let that happen. I give her to Japan and instructed him to lead the others to safety too. Of course, some refused to leave, but with a bit of persuasion on my part (kolkolkol~!), they listened. Hey, I'm not letting them fight when they're weak and especially without their powers. Once they all dissapeared I turned my gaze towards the others. I picked up my spear from the ground and raised it high into the air.
- To battle!- I cry.
- To battle!- The others repeated that same sentince before we all ran to the throne room, not noticing that Luciana's body was gone.

Shadow Queen's P.o.V

I was listening to Wealth Hand telling all about the people inside my castle. According to him, he saw an Angel of Death, killing shadows in a brutal fashion by breaking the shadow masks. It seems like this "angel" is well versed in their knowledge of shadows. Then I see Luciana come in with an injured shoulder. Immediately, Siegfried came to her to help her and asked her what happened.
- 1P's happened, that's what.- She answered. I could see Kuro looking around in random directions. For the past half hour he was nervous of something. I knew that Kuro isn't the kind of person to get nervous or even scred easily, so what got him on edge? But enough of that. We had a bigger problem on our hands. I saw Wealth Hand jump into the air and run over to the map of the castle and point to a sertain spot. I looked at it and realised that that's where the intruders were spotted at. The dungeons. The hand shadow explained, that the prisoners escaped and were lead out, and thet they were long gone by now. The hand could tell that the intruders were coming this way. I let the shadow escape and get to safety while I could feel the intruders comming this way. Sadly, Speed and Form are in the infirmary watching over Nature. So we only had Poison (who was injured, quite badly I might add), Shadow and Metal. I stood up and looked at the door. Soon enough, the intruders broke through. In the front was a woman with long, honey hair and the most determined and burning icy blue eyes I've ever seen. She weilded a spear, but she wasn't alone. Three men and two women acompanied her. I could tell that they were 1P's.
- This is our battle, and we're not about to lose!- Beatrice yelled, being the leader in the situation.
- Well, you're-a going to-a lose one way or another!- Luciana responded, standing tall. I raised my hand and summoned shadows as the 1P's and the 2P's charged into battle. When the shadows noticed Beatrice, I could feel fear radiating off of them. So she was the supposed "Angel of Death". By the way she was fighting, I could tell that she had determination of no other leader that I've seen in my years of existence. She kept encouraging her teammates and their fighting spirit never ceased. But due to their fighting spirit, our side was losing. Even with shadow at our side, they would distroy them. Because of their determination ( A/NHehe, Undertale ) it was difficult to even make any sort of damage to them. After a while, Kuro fell. Then Siegfried, and finally Luciana. I was left alone. I let out a 'tch' sound. I can't trust anyone with anything, can I? And si with those words in my mind, I descend down the steps to my throne. I stood in front of them with a cold face. I looked straight into those determined blue eyes of Audra's 1P. She stood tall and brave.
- You are quite the leader, Beatrice. You truly are a worthy opponent.- I say with honesty. I then summoned shadows to my side.
- But, you are not skilled enough.- I continue, and with those words, I let the shadows loose. They attacked their group, leaving a large ammount of them injured or on the ground. But even with gaining a large injury to her side, Beatrice still stood. Stubborn little goat, isn't she? She charged at me with her spear pointing towards me. As she charged, she let out a loud, high pitched noise that would make your eardrums burst. I clutched my ears to try and dampen the sound, but to no avail. I looked at her and she was right next to me. I quickly sent a shadowy shield over myself to deflect the blow. So I did. I could hear the spear snap in half and her willingly dropping her ,now useless, weapon. I remove the shield, but I didn't notice how she was ready for it. And because of that, I was left vulnerable and she kicked me in the side. That move made me go flying against the wall. Once I fell to the floor, I tried to use magic, but a green light stopped me, literally. I looked up and saw one of Beatrice's teammates, England, using magic that I was all to familiar with to hold me down. It was green energy, the kind that Lloyd uses. I see Beatrice holding three golden triangle pendants. Those represented Courage, Knowledge and Power. I frown.
- Well, it looks like this is goodbye. Farewell, 1P's. Especially you, Beatrice. You're an excelent leader.- I say before leaving my vessel and escaping. (A/N It kinda looks like when a demon leaves a body from SPN)

Beatrice's P.o.V

I watch as the Shadow Queen left Ayame's body, leaving the poor girl unconsious. I walk over and pick her little body up. I turn back to England.
- Japan got the rest of the 2P's. Gather them all up and send them back to their universe. I'm going to get her to safety.- I say. England nodded and went over to the others. I left to the safe point, which was on a hill a good distance from the castle the Queen was residing in. Once I got there, I was almost tackled to the ground by Ula.
- You're alive! Thank the Walls, you're alive!- She said, using an Attack on Titan refferance. I smile, but don't return the hug, since I can't.
- Ula, you're about to suffocate Ayame.- I point out. She immediately detaches herself from me and looks at me sheepishly.
- Sorry.- She apologizes.
- It's ok.- I reply. I see Chihiro and Haku look up at the mention of their daughter's name and I could see their eyes light up at the sight of Ayame. I could see relief when they saw that Ayame was breathing. I gladly gave their daughter back and looked at them with a glad smile.
- Ok, I have fought in a LOT ov battles, but I can deffinantly say, zhat zhat vas zhe most avesome battle EVER!- I could hear Prussia's loud and raspy voice from behind me. I turn around with a smile on my face. I see the others right behind him. I could see that Veneciano was oddly far from Germany. Of course, this caught my attention, but I decided to discuss it with her later.
- Well, it looks like everyone's here.- I hear Yukkiko say from behind me. Since the Queen left, the ninja's regained their powers. I looked around and didn't see an inkling Dimitra anywhere.
- Where's the inkling?- I ask.
- She's back in her own world.- Jordan replies, curtly. Suddenly, I hear light snoring. I look at the tree and see Spain sleeping next to it. My eyes lightnen up and I smile. So in the end, Spain was here all along.
- Ve~! Big brother Spain is here~!- I hear Veneciano behind me before she happily skipped over to said nation. The tomato loving nation's eyes cracked open and they lit up at the sight of Veneciano.
- Ita-chan! You're safe!- He said as he embraced her. Veneciano gladly hugged back with a glad smile on her beautiful features. Jordan went from the tree and stood in the middle of the hill. Then she stretched out her hands and green and purple smoke came from them. Soon enough, a portal opened up at her feet.
- Time to go home now.- Germany said and we all nod. Just before walking near it, I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. I turn around and see Haku, Chihiro and Ayame standing with thankful looks.
- Arigato gozaimasu, Beatrice.- Chihiro said, slightly bowing. Ayame and Haku did the same thing. Then, Ayame went into her pocket and took out two bracelets, both with differentlly colored scales. One had a pure white scale, while the other one had a jade scale. She walked towards me and I bent down to her eye level. She took my hand and up both of the bracelets on my right wrist. She then bowed and said:
- These are enchanted scales. They protect you from harm.
- Arigato, Ayame-san.- I thank and stand up.
- But, you shouldn't thank me. Thank them.- I say before showing them the others with an open hand.- Without them, Ayame-san would've still been a vessel.
- But they wouldn't have done it without you, Beata.- Ula said. - So yea, you are the one to thank.
I blush, since I don't get compliments like that. I look back at the family in front of me and bow.
- Arigato gozaimasu. I apprciate your graditude.- I thank.
- Hey, Germany, if you or your friends have a problem, tell us, ok?- I hear Cole say before shaking hands with said nation.
- Jou too.- Germany responds.
- It was a preasure to meet you, Zane-san.- I hear Nihhon-san say before bowing to Zane. Zane repeats the motion.
- It was a pleasure meeting you too.- He says, before Mirayo hooked her arm into his. Jeez, Yandere~!
- It's nice to know that there's someone who has a similair power to you. If you need help, ask us.- Lloyd says to England, his arm around Yukkiko's waist. He stretched out his free hand and he shook it with England.
- You too, lad. Good luck being a father.- The gentlemanly nation says right after shaking hands with the Green Ninja.
- See ya, Veneciano. Good luck back at home.- Jay says before high-fiving the jumpy nation.
- You-a too, Jay! It was a lot of fun being with-a you~!- She says. Little by little, everyone left through the portal back home. Before I went through it I turned back to the others and perform the salute of SNK with a glad smile dancing on my lips. I then open my mouth and say a good part of a song I've heard a long time ago:

Finally we march in victory

This is out first GloriaOh my friend, let's toast to victoryWhen we meet again

And, with those words being said, I went through the portal. Once I went through it, I felt My head banging on a cold, wooden floor. Already, I could hear Romano's angry voice. I look up and sure enough, Romano was yelling and Spain and Veneciano. But, she was yelling while hugging them and.... Crying? That's just... That's just sweet. As sweet as maple syrup! I stand up and look at Ula, who was right next to me, and smile at her.
- Isn't that just adorable?- I ask her. She nodds and looks at Romano.
- Well, it's getting a bit late and we're about to go home. Do you want me to drive you over to Lithuania's place?- England offers. I simply shake my hand.
- No, I'm fine. His place shouldn't be too far, so I'll just walk there.- I respond.
- Well, then, see ya later.- Ula says before hugging me and walking out. The others followed so I did. I was right back in Ninjago about different times. It's in the middle of December! I shake and rub my forearms. I look around and see no life, just white snow. My breath came out in white puffs of smoke. After a bit, the sun already set and I already saw Lithuania's house.
- Home... - I think. My eyes light up as I opened the door and went through it. Little did I know...

That was the last time I ever willingly opened that door....
