S1 E11: Embracing a Miracle (Season Finale) [Part 1/2]

"Russia?" Exclaimed England in surprise. "How did you get into this world?" 

"Well, after Germany and Italy went missing, Prussia and Japan said at a world meeting that according to Ludwig himself, they had both fallen through a portal into another universe, and then when you went missing a few days ago as well, I thought it probably had something to do with these same portals. So I decided to take matters into my own hands earlier today and have a look around for one so that I could get into the alternate dimension, too, and find all 3 of you." Answered Russia while still smiling serenely, with the Magic Metal Pipe of Pain in his hand shimmering and sparkling on the edges in the bright light of the room.
"It took a while, but I found one and I fell through it, landing very close by to here. Then a minute ago, a short time after I arrived just now, I saw you through the windows of these front doors behind me, so I snuck inside and watched what was happening from around a corner, and when I found out that this man was giving you trouble, I chose that moment to step in." He held up the metal object which had meant the difference between life and death for Sandra only a few seconds ago. 

"Well, I must say, thank you." This brunette herself began in gratitude, but before Russia could respond, the sound of Dr. Peugot cocking his gun once again caught everyone's attention.

"I can still kill you ALL!" Jason yelled out, both of his eyes twitching at the interruption that had stopped him from being able to put a bullet in the head of the young woman who he'd been so obsessive about, so fixated on kidnapping and making her his object for research. "Don't think that the sudden appearance of another cartoon character is going to stop me!"

"For god's sake, it's not a cartoon, Hetalia is ANIME! There is a difference!" Corrected Jenny angrily. "Do NOT blastpheme!"

And then, true to his word, he ignored this and tried to fire another bullet, but this time more abrupt to take them by surprise and this one was aimed at Sandra's chest instead of her head. Although, Ivan's reflexes were very quick, so he managed to step in front of her and hold out the Magic Metal Pipe of Pain in the way of this ball of lead, blocking it just like the previous one and making it bounce off the metal and into the wall because of how strong the pipe's material was. 

The rest of the group stared with wide orbs at how quickly he'd prevented a person's death again, armed with nothing more than a faucet pipe. 

"Wha- but how- how?! How the hell are you that fast?!" Peugot spluttered, with his hand which was holding the gun beginning to shake a little. And then, with it making everyone wish that it would all just stop immediately,and also causing a couple of them to flinch, because of the intense, deafening sounds created every time the trigger was pulled, he fired the gun again and again and again, repeatedly trying to shoot at Russia or at least frighten him into getting out of the way, but the Eastern European nation kept his reflexes super-sharp like a few seconds ago, and he swung the metal pipe this way and that in the way of the oncoming bullets, protecting everyone from harm as all of the balls of lead flying his way bounced off the metal he held in his hand and away into the walls.
The only other part of Ivan that was moving except for his right arm holding the object was his face, forming into a sweet smile once again, which in this case was the type of smile that meant he was deriving pleasure from outwitting the malicious doctor like this. 

Pretty soon, from all the times he tried to fire at the group only for Russia to block it all, the only sound the gun made was hissy clicking noises whenever the trigger was pulled due to the fact that all its bullets were now gone, rendering it completely empty of any ammunition at all.
"No no no, this can't be happening, it just can't! Not now!" Cried out Jason in equal annoyance and worry, looking down at the useless pistol in his hand and shaking it.
