Beneath the portal

8

They finally arrived by the portal, everyone getting out the car except for the two knocked out passengers. Technically the trunk counts as a seat.

East opened the trunk and dragged the imp out the car by the legs, not bothering to make sure to not cause extra injuries to the imp.

West carried Taiwan on his back.
'How far are we from our planet?'

'The portal to our planet in the US would take us 5 minutes but the Canadian one takes about 10. It's better than Mauritania's portal which takes about 2 hours.'  East replied.

'Nah clearly the portal has a preference for people.' Poland says as he enters the portal first before the others.

When they all arrived back, West took Taiwan to the hospital as soon as possible, while East followed since West somehow was desperate for the imp to be unharmed. He has a lot of explaining to do  to UN to keep that thing.

Ukraine followed Poland and Czechia since she wasn't bothered to watch and wait for Taiwan and some random imp who likely would betray them to wake up.

'I simply don't get why Germany would want a random ass imp, honestly, there are so many imps out there, they don't even matter. Imps are just random things that should be punished for their wrongs and definitely not be wandering in this planet or Earth!' Poland was chatting with Ukraine and Czechia on the way to the bus to take them to their office.

'Maybe Germany is way too empathetic but still, these creatures are our enemy and Germany does not spare people he hates... not that I see imps as people though I just don't really give a crap about them.'  Czechia replied as he put his hands in his pockets.

'You know, dark magic users can feel the energy of others if they focus on the person, sounds weird but it's the truth. West must have seen the imp as someone we can trust.' Ukraine added, Poland shrugged.
'I highly doubt an imp would be trustworthy but okay...'

Taipei was starting to wake up, being met by blurry vision.
She shot up, realizing she was in a hospital. She rubbed her eyes and ripped off the wires attached to her. Taipei looked around her surroundings to see Taiwan next to her bed.
Taipei got off the bed, almost falling since she still felt busy and rushed to her.
'Taiwan!' She exclaimed, hugging the Taiwanese.
'Taiwan?' Taiwan didn't seem to show any sign of consciousness. A new bandage was around her head and she was mainly under observation.

The door opened and Singapore entered.
'Oh! Taipei you're awake, that's good news. How are you feeling?'

'I feel dizzy but fine. How is Taiwan doing?'

'She got smacked in the head with a bat and got knocked out, no signs of brain injury luckily. I'd advise you to get back to your bed before Thailand comes here though, he would literally explode if he knew you're out of bed without permission.'

Taipei walked back to her bed and laid back down, with relief that she is back.
Singapore walked to Taiwan and injected her with some syringe.

'What's that?' Taipei pointed out.
'It's a tetanus shot, because we also found a rusty object stuck in her forearm so we just want to prevent her from getting tetanus.'

Taiwan's heart rate seemed to get faster suddenly, and her hands started moving a bit.
Singapore simply just watched, making sure it wasn't anything serious when Taiwan also started to slowly wake up.
'Where am I?'

'You're back here with us.' Singapore answered, 'You're in the hospital, we shared the room with Taipei if you don't mind. We just assumed being with your capital is better than some random imp.'
