Gone.


In a flash, she was gone.


Just like how they've wanted, right?



As soon as the girl was sent back to her world using what little magic they had left, the two Englands fell to their knees. This alerted their comrades to assist them.

"England...hang on, I'll carry you." America offered. The American squinted a bit, adjusting his eyes to help his British friend who looked obviously weakened. Given England's nature, he would usually decline; but now that he didn't have any energy left to even reply, he simply accepted the help.

Japan walked to their side and took the laptop from the two Brits' hands, so that they could be carried respectively. "I'll hold on to this first." he said, giving a concerned look not only to England, but to his friend's counterpart, as well.


Allen also took action and lifted Oliver up, carrying him behind his back. "...You're gonna need a lot of rest, old man." he murmured to the strawberry blond Brit. Oliver responded with a muffled sob, and the redheaded American knew why.


"She's...gone, Allen." Oliver managed to choke out.

Shaking his head, Allen replied, "She's not gone. She's somewhere, safely back in her world."

Oliver gave a shaky sigh and decided to rest as he was being carried behind Allen's back. He needed to breathe. He needed to get himself together. The least he can do for (Name) was to take care of himself for her sake.
He should stay well, just how the poppet wanted him to be. Even just by that.




Too bad he can't.



Because the next thing that happened, was far from it.



Madness.



The two groups looked at each other. There was something strange. There was something that they all sensed that was off. If it was like the times before, they'd suspect each other for sure. Regardless of whether or not they sensed something suspicious of their counterparts. But now, they've managed to notice something other than themselves.


"Did...you guys hear that...?" Prussia asked nervously, clutching his chest.


Lutz shook his head. "Nein...but...we sense something."


"That's right...there is something odd here..." Japan said, feeling like he should unsheathe his sword.



"Run. Run away." a voice echoed in Prussia's head, making it throb painfully at the same time. "With what you have all done, surely that person will--"


"Will what??!!" the albino exclaimed angrily, alarming the others.


France placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "P-Prussia! What's happening to you?"


Before the Prussian could even open his mouth to speak, a loud voice thundered in theroom .



"WhAt....HAvE......yOu....aLL....DONE???!!!!"



The ground shook, making the others stagger. Italy managed to keep his balance by gripping on the bar of the cell beside him. "Wh-What was that?! Who spoke just now??" Italy asked aloud, looking at his friends.


"That's not really important at the moment." Luciano told him in a low voice, swinging his knife by his side.


Germany raised an eyebrow. "Why not? I know that we resolved not to fight at the moment, but I can't help doubt."


"Because there's a more pressing matter we should be concerned about." Kuro said, pulling his katana from its sheathe. "If you haven't noticed....all of those alien-like monsters kept in the cell, have disappeared."


Russia widened his eyes. "You..don't mean..." he trailed off. He gave a look of horror at the now-empty cell, as did everyone else.


"W-We need to get away from this place, aru!" China urged, dashing for the door.



As they headed for the exit, the door burst open, revealing the large, oddly shaped alien monsters. "Aiyah!!" China shouted in surprise and fear.


"China!" Russia exclaimed, seeing that the Chinese man was merely inches from the creature. The tall Russian quickly pulled China's arm to get him away from the monsters. "Ah...Xie Xie. Thank you..." China told him in between trying to gulp some air.


"It's alright. I mean, what are fr...." Russia looked away, suddenly feeling uncertain about what he was supposed to say.


China rolled his eyes. "You can say it, you know. I already told you we are."


"....What are...friends for, right?" Russia said softly, in somehow shy manner. They've talked about it earlier, but of course, he was still a bit scared of rejection.


But all that fear of rejection faded away. "That's right, Russia. We're friends." China grinned.


They would continue the conversation, but the matter at hand was preventing them to do so. With the exit blocked by the monsters, they were to look for another way out.


"Shit. Where else can we go??" Romano asked them.


Almost at the exact same time, the Second Players looked up. The passage to their base could be the only solution. "If we're lucky, then those Things weren't able to reach our base yet..." Kuro told them.


Flavio shook his head (fabulously, though that's a given). "Pfft. Those horrid creatures can't possibly--"


Thud.


Thud.


Thud.


Their hearts pounded as loud as the ceiling did. They gathered closer together, standing back to back, to have a better sense of security. The monsters were already up in the 2Ps base? That was the only option that they had left! It can't be true.



Oh, but it can.


The loud, breaking sound of the wooden ceiling ripped through the room ; the horrible noise of all of the monsters' murmurs began ringing in their ears.



They were surrounded.



They were trapped.


And they all just looked at each other. It didn't matter, First Player or Second Player. They were just there, looking at each other with wide eyes and a look of pure fear, shock, horror, and doom.


They are different. Oh, so different. But right now, they had the same thing running in their minds:


"Is this their 'Game Over'?"

"(Name)?"


"(Name), dear, wake up."


Wake...up...? That voice...? It's....


Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open. Once I did, my eyes opened wider than they expected.


"MOM! DAD!" I practically yelled scrambled out of the car and pounced on my parents.


They looked at me quizically. "Whoa, what happened to you? Did you have some sort bad dream or something..?" my mother asked me, looking concerned.


"I--well, I...it wasn't that bad, but...just let me hug you two." I responded frantically, hugging them like my life depended on it, before I let them go to allow them to breathe. I was able to breathe, too, but it was a shaky one.


Stepping back, I looked at my parents. They didn't react the way I thought they would. More likely, they...don't remember the things that happened the way I did. They had no recollection of the mansion whatsoever.


The mansion...


I sharply turned around to look at my surroundings.


No mansion.


Our car was parked at a gas station, beside a convenience store. Hold on, that means... that means we haven't arrived there yet?


What is this? Where did they send me?


"(Name)? You're spacing out. Is it still because of your dream?" my father asked me, placing a hand on my shoulder. Shaking my head, I replied, "N-No...I'm fine..."


Dream?


Were all those things that I've been through just a dream?


I mean, my imagination can get pretty crazy at times, but....all that just felt too real to be a dream.


Or was it?


Then, I remembered something important. "My...my bag?" I asked my parents.


"Here." my mom handed me my bag. I took it and quickly zipped it open, giving a soft "Thanks" before stepping a way a bit to check.


I rummaged through my bag to find the thing behind this sentence back to a world where my HetaOni experience never happened. My laptop. Confirming my suspicions, I zipped my bag back again. No laptop to be found.


Tugging my father's sleeve, I spoke, "D-Dad, where's my laptop?"

"Huh? If you don't have it with you, you probably left it at home." he told me. He was quite busy checking if all the car doors were locked. My mom, on the other hand, was distracted by playing Candy Crush on her phone. It seems this place was a stop-over for us.


Frowning, I looked at them, "Can...can we go back to get it?"


"Sorry, dear. We're too far away to get that back, besides, you need to take a break from it every now and then." my Dad told me.


Sighing, I placed my bag straps over my shoulders. "Now, of all times, is not the time to take a break from that blasted laptop." I thought to myself.


"Well now, let's go get something to eat over at the convenience store." my mother said as she placed back her phone in her purse. "O-Okay..." I replied, following after them.


As I walked towards the entrance of the store, I began to think deeply. How on earth am I going to go back? Is it even possible to do it? If it was my laptop that brought me back here, will it also get me back there? But if it was left in that dimension, how will I do it? Will any laptop do? Argh! So many questions!


I pushed open the door and was greeted by the cold air from the convenience store. Aside from the cashier, and my parents who were deciding what to buy, the place was practically empty.


"Oh, (Name). The tables are upstairs, so just wait for us there. Is there anything in particular you'd want to eat?" my father asked me.

Shaking my head, I gave a small smile. "Nah, anything's fine. I still have a ton of snacks in my bag, to be honest."


"Alright, then." he responded, turning back to the selection of light snacks. I took that as my cue to climb up the stairs to find ourselves a table. Not like anyone else was here.


But as I reached the second floor, I realised that there was someone else there, after all.

///???'s PoV///


I heard footsteps, signalling that someone was starting to walk up the steps. Smiling to myself, I spoke, "Heh. She's finally here."


Putting on my yellow earphones, I looked back to my laptop screen. Pressing play on the media player, I continued listening to a song that's stuck to my head these past few weeks. iNSaNiTY


Opening Notepad, I began to type. "I'll be dealing with her later. For now...let's get back to the iNSaNiTY of that place, shall we?~"
