Good day, reader! Welcome to this book. I'm not going to update much, so... sorry about that!
A.C.H island was were the British Isles grew up. A.C.H stood for Association of CountryHumans. From childhood all the way until adulthood, countries would be trained to become agents. If the particular country was very, very, very unlucky then they would be conquered by a heartless person, who was apparently their guardian. So now you know all these key information. Let's get into the actual story, now.
CRASH!
The window shattered. The 'humans' had realised what was going on earlier than predicted. Chaos filled the air. You might be wondering who these humans were. As you are one yourself. These were not humans, they were a species related to ghosts and humans. They could disguise as humans, but if you looked a little closer you could see that they were star beings. (A species that lives on a star.) Star beings are the remains of a dead star, put together to make a human like shape. They usually have skin in a washed out colour (blue, purple, etc.) and only a nose on the face, that is if you see one in it's truest form. "Let's get out of here!", Scotland mumbled, before breaking another window. CRASH! Hastily, they all got out of the window. But, before any of them could move a muscle, a Star being pinned England to the ground. Wales looked around for anything he could find, that could help the situation. The being was now taking off the poor British boy's mask of deception*. As speedily as he possibly could, Wales grabbed a flashlight and turned it on to scare it away. A piece of the mask was broken off, but as soon as it saw the light, the being leapt up and ran away as quickly as his legs would allow him too. "That was a close call, wasn't it?", North muttered. "Now is not the time." Wales added. "Quick, get to a cave. There are lots around." They all ran at the speed of light*.
(* No, not really. If that happened science would come in and make some major adjustments. Like nuclear bombs exploding on them. What the author means is they ran really quickly.) (*A mask of deception is used to disguise others and if broken the pieces can lead someone to the other parts of the mask.)
In the deep, deep forest, as the Isles stopped to gasp for air, a cold air hit their faces. "That's not a good sign.", Northern Ireland mumbled. "Well, let's stick to the shadows.", Scotland hissed urgently. He pulled everyone towards the shadows sharply. Nobody dared to breath. The monsters had excellent hearing, so any cough, sneeze or even breath would lead them to their victims. Nobody moved a muscle, the snow would crunch underneath them and rat them out. There were only two options left. Either stay still and hope that the beings go away or they could risk it by climbing up trees and leaping from tree to tree, which is where the star beings are most likely to be. England chose the risky option and made a run for it. This was a mistake. A big one. This stunned everyone else and Wales managed to trip over. CRUNCH! The almost magical atmosphere of the night was replaced with an eerie and cold one. It wasn't a nice feeling. One of the star creatures touched them, which would paralyse them for at least an hour. It laughed silently, if you can even call it that. It was more like a silent cackle that was filled to the brim with evil and humiliation. That's absolutely horrible and all, but I bet you are asking, "Where has England gone?", well he is currently high above. In the skies, to be exact.
England floated to a cliff to rest. All of the sudden... BEEP! Switzerland appeared on his watch. He tumbled over instantly. "Did you really just do that?", Switzerland muttered, unimpressed. "I know what you're thinking. I had to do it!", England protested. "Whenever you betray your team, you always have a plan in mind.", Swiss commented. "So.. spill it." "Nun-uh!", England said. "Anyways, where's Belgium?" "Getting me some chocolate.", Swiss replied. England got out his climbing tools and prepared. After a while, he started climbing, while talking to him (Switzerland). All of a sudden, England heard a some loud noises. Quick as a flash, he looked up and down, he's too far down to swing up and too high up to jump off without breaking a few bones. Then.. SLAM! This surprised England so much that he let go of the stone and fell. Straight down. The rope that was holding him up, snapped and within seconds he was falling faster and faster. If England didn't survive, who would save his friends? There was no stopping a collision between his body and the ground. He closed his eyes and hoped that some miracle would happen and save him. BOING, BOING, BOING! The ground underneath bounced. This was a definite sign that one of the Star Bases are close by. England looked at his watch, but it was broken. And then he looked up and saw a big building lit up brightly with a huge star in the front. This was definitely the base. England still had the mask of deception, a daring plan was made right there.
So.. what are the other British Isles doing? Well, they are currently locked up in a cage. "We need to figure out a way to get out of here!", Scotland mumbled. "Yeah, yeah. England will come.", North said. "Chill out!" "I mean, Scot is correct. We can't just rely on her for the rest of our lives.", Wales pointed out. Northern Ireland just facepalmed. He had heard enough. "You do realise that we are cuffed, right?" Both boys nodded. "So how are we going get out of these cuffs, if you wanna rescue yourselves?!" "We could lock pick.", Scotland suggested. "Behind our backs?", Wales commented.
Just then a Star Being stood in front of the cage, unlocking it. Without a word, it led them out. There was no telling where they would go. Maybe a torture chamber? Or a room with a guillotine? Or a room full of sharks? There were endless possibilities. But out of those endless possibilities, they were led to a tunnel. The most boring one. Slowly, the being freed them and smiled. The Isles were confused. The shock of that was replaced with more shock, when the tunnel filled with water. Wales stood there, unable to move because of the shock. North held on to his wrist and ran for it. First the gap between the water and then were quite far apart. Then it started to get smaller and smaller and smaller. That Star Being stood there and let the water swallow it. Just as the door to freedom was about to shut, North and Wales managed to reach it. "So..what are we going to do now..?", Scot gasped for air. "Well, we should try find Eng-." Before Wales could even finish saying her name, England appeared out of nowhere. "You've finished step 1! Now all we have to do now is get back to base - step 2!" Then England looked up. Everyone else soon followed. They were under a starry night sky.
