The Hero

15: Lazer Tag

Ryter's P.O.V.

  After the boring world meeting everyone was taken down stairs to the laser tag lobby. I had a big box or ribbons under my right arm. Natrista was standing on my left and America was on my right. Since the vests only came in red or blue we were going to use the ribbons to identify our different teams.

  "Alright everyone, we are going to do this in groups of three. Once you have your group of three come to me with your team to get your ribbons. That way we can have more teams then just two." I said and they all nodded.

  They all started to discuss who they wanted on their teams and I turned to Natrista. She nodded once and went over to where The former axis were standing. She seemed to talk to them for a minute before Italy hugged Germany. My heart dropped and then lifted when Italy ran over to me. Seems like Natrista had talked him into joining our team, just like it was planned.

  "Ve~ what colour are we going to be?" He asked as Natrista came over to us.

  I smiled. "We can be yellow since it's the colour of pasta." I suggested and a big grin grew on Italy's face.

  "PASTA!" He yelled and pulled out the yellow ribbon. Natrista then reached into the box and pulled out the last two yellow ribbons for the two of us. I smiled at he and put the box down on the table to I could tie the ribbon around my head. I didn't have to worry about hair getting in the way since it was already braided down my back.

  Then America, Denmark and Prussia came up and asked for the back ribbons. I dug into the box and gave them the black ribbons. Then Finland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein came up. I was a bit taken aback, they were going to be a hard team to beat.

So this was how the teams worked out;

Natrista, Italy, and I = yellow.
America, Denmark and Prussia = black.
Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Finland = purple.
Japan, Germany and China = red.
Canada, France and England = green.
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus = white.
Sweden, Norway and Iceland = orange.
Austria, Hungary and Holy Rome = brown.
Poland, Lithuania and Romania = pink.
Australia, Belgium and Netherlands = maroon.
Spain, Romano and Roman Empire = turquoise.
South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong = grey.
Ireland, Scotland and Wales = electric blue.
Sealand, Estonia and Latvia = lime green.
Turkey, Greece and Egypt = gold.
Thailand, Vietnam and Cuba = silver.

  Once we were ready we all headed into the play area. We had about five minutes before the buzzer went off marking the start of the game. Natrista, Italy and I made our way to one of the two castles. Surprisingly there was no one there and we took our place on one of the turrets. From here the only way you could get us was if you climbed up the stairs, which we made sure was guarded.

  "What's the plan?" Italy asked. Natrista and I looked at each other and nodded once. Then Natrista started to explain.

  "Well for right now we're going to stake out here, since the only way you can get close enough to us is to come up the stairs and its not that hard to keep them covered." Natrista told Italy.

  The buzzer went off marking the start of the game. Italy and I watched for people approaching as Natrista watched the stairs in case Italy and I happened to miss the person coming towards the entrance. All was quiet until I noticed two people arguing. I looked over and saw it was the gold team, Greece, Turkey and Egypt.

  Greece and Turkey were the ones fighting. Egypt looked really bored and as if he was starting to get annoyed. He looked at the two and smiled evilly. I couldn't keep in my laugh as I watched him shoot them both.

  "Egypt just killed his team." I told my own team. Natrista smirked and Italy giggled. Then he looked down and his face grew serious.

  "Doitsu's down there." Italy whispered and I knew he was resisting the urge to yell down to my bruder.
