S2 E7: An Adversarial Recurrence [Part 2/2]

"Are you sure this is the place, dudette?" America queried to Eleanor later on.

"I'm positive of it." She turned her head in his direction and nodded. "I tailed him like Italy said and this is definitely where he went." The frizzy-haired Briton then looked back in the same direction she'd been gazing a moment ago, at the derelict, on-the-verge-of-being-closed-down council building.

"Somewhere in the belly of that beast is our friends." China spoke, not expecting an answer to this as such, hiding in the undergrowth of a small woodland perimeter encircling the building along with all the others currently gathered there.

"We need to formulate ein plan for how to get in and out, the latter of which being with Starfire und Jenny in tow, without any of us getting caught." Said Germany.

"And also managing to apprehend both Peugot and Keates would be a bonus." Japan added to this.

"Ja, you're right." The muscular blonde acknowledged before addressing everyone who was with him right now, "Any ideas?"

Over the course of the last few minutes, after Feliciano had witnessed the capture of the 2 girls, he had frantically given Ludwig a phone call, and after that the word of what'd happened spread across to other 6 main Hetalia nations and then Sandra and Ells, as well as a few other countries like Prussia and Canada, like a contagion. As soon as Eleanor had found out, she'd asked Italy to tell her the location of where he'd seen the event, and she'd soon leapt at the opportunity to covertly follow Keates in her armoured Zensairan form, until she finally arrived at this place, where he and Peugot's base of operations obviously was. Then the others grouped up and used an app which America had on his phone to track the location of Eleanor's own phone, and here we are, my reader.

At the present moment, whilst everyone was occupied as they began to share possible schemes for accomplishing their mission, a small figure poked its head out of the thick bushes behind them without being noticed in the slightest. The figure, letting a grin spread across his face and forgetting on the spur of the moment to use his inside voice, shouted out,

"Alright! If I can come up with a brilliant enough idea that'll help rescue Jen and Starry from the 2 wackos then I'll surely become a full-fledged country at last!"

Everyone instantly ceased their discussion, flinching out of startlement from how sudden what they'd just heard was, and Britain swiftly turned around to confirm with his own eyes who was behind them; he knew only one person whose voice sounded so childlike and who always came out with exclamations like that.

"Wait, Sealand?" He yelled in surprise. "What the bloody hell are you doing here?!"

"Isn't it obvious? I came to help! Then maybe I'll finally be recognised as a famous country!" The young principality replied.

"How did you even find out where we were?!"

"That's for me and the Internet to know and for you to find out, big brother." Peter smiled again, looking very pleased with himself.

"Just go back to our own dimension before you get us caught! I swear you're the most reckless person I know and I'm saying that when America's right here!" Arthur tried to push his younger sibling's head back into the bush where it had been a few seconds ago, to which Sealand tried to resist and shouted things back.

"Hey! I've still got feelings, Iggy dude!" Alfred said in response.

"Maybe you guys should keep it down...?" Suggested Canada, not really managing to catch the brothers' attention over all the yelling they were doing. "If we're too loud we might get caught like England said..." A single, solitary anime sweat drop materialised on the side of his head in awkwardness, and Germany didn't stop himself from letting out a sigh.
