Spread My Wings (countryhumans)

Part 38: Spread My Wings

My eyes widened at the mention of my twins name... the eagle I freed from that tree branch...the eagle that attacked Poland... the eagle that gave us the scepter...

Confederate flew up to Reich and tried to grab Reichs scepter. Reich tried to swat him away, but ended up getting slashed across the arm by Confederates talons.

"Imperial! Turn him back!" Reich ordered as Confederate flew up towards the ceiling. Imperial did as he was told. Confederate fell to the ground and landed on his feet. Confederate glared up at Reich. "What are you doing out of your cage, little bird?" Reich cooed wickedly.

"Don't treat me like a damn child! I brought your sorry a**es back from the grave, just for you to betray me! You two would have never gotten this far without me!" Confederate exclaimed. Reich let out a wicked laugh.

"You really think you're all that? You were just a petty little spirit creature. You're lucky I even let you pretend that you were in charge!" Reich exclaimed. Reich lifted his scepter, when suddenly he let out a pained gasp. Poland had stabbed him in the side. Blood dripped out of Reichs mouth as he let out a pained cough, but suddenly, he smiled in amusement. "Poland, it's been so long," Reich said coolly. Reich pulled the sword out of his hip and lifted Poland with telekinesis. I look around to see possessed guards rushing into the room. Those who gained back their powers and freed themselves began to fight against the guards. I begin to panic.

This is war.

I quickly unsheathe my sword and begin joining the fight. Mexico was able to distract Reich enough to make him let go of Poland. Poland picked up his sword and joined the fighting. Imperial and Reich lifted their scepters, not accepting defeat.

"Ame, we have to get the scepters from them! That's the only way to put an end to this!" Germany exclaimed. I nodded. I try to fight my way towards Imperial, the closest person to me with a scepter, when suddenly a guard pushes me to the ground. I look up in horror as he raises his sword over me. However, someone stabs him in the back before he can swing at me. I'm helped up by the person who saved me, England.

"America, are you ok?" England asked.

"I'm fine, we need to get the scepters!" I exclaimed. England nodded and pushed me along, fighting others away from me with his sword. I rush through the raging crowd as fast as I can until I'm finally facing him. Imperial. I panic, not knowing what to do. He smiled down at me, sensing my fear, and forming a ball of energy in his hand. However, his conjurings stop as he cried out in pain. He dropped the scepter onto the ground, which broke upon impact. I saw that Imperial had been attacked by a hindering alligator. I stare wide eyed at the jeweled beast. It looked obediently back up at me.

"Ey Meri! Pretty cool huh?" I hear Australia exclaim. I turn around to see Japan carrying Australia on his back.

"Australia! Why are you here? You're hurt!" I exclaimed. Australia and Japan both looked pained, as if there was a longer story behind what happened.

"Just had to make that bastard pay for what he did," Australia said. I noticed Japan carrying a small cat in his arms. A small cat whose white fur was stained red from her blood.

"Nekomi...," I say in disbelief. I turn around to look at Imperial struggling on the floor. "He.... he...," I struggle to say. I look back at Nekomi's lifeless body.

"Ame, we have all our lives to mourn... right now, we must fight," Japan said. I take a deep breath and nod.

"Japan, keep Aussie safe. We need to get Reichs scepter," I say. Japan nods. I make my way back into the crowd. There is a small clearing in the center, where I see Reich fighting against various countries who were taking their chances. However, with his scepter, he had the upper hand. I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I look behind me to see Confederate.
