((Keaton's POV))

All the 2ps gathered in the hall, it was time for Kentin's final performance. I sat on my throne smirking. I then stood up which caused all of them to look at me "My dear friends, the time is ticking, soon we will taste sweet victory!" all the 2ps cheered, they have been waiting a long time "the nation's so called guardian is on his way here, i want you all to make him feel welcome" i laughed, i noticed Luciano and Oliver walk in "You bastardo!" i widened my eyes, did Luciano just call me a bastard?

They walked towards the throne "what is the meaning of this treason?" i growled out "Keaton! I have had enough of your ways! This place is a mockery of what it was! Want to know something you brat? I used you!" Luciano laughed at that which caused me to step back "used me?" "that's right, i only made you leader so you'd be a pawn i could control, who told you who to send after Kentin? Me, i was controlling your actions until you took things too far!" i growled silently, this new defiance from him was irritating "you are making friend turn against friend, you only care for your own selfish desires, you've made all the girls here bend to your wishes and treated them like your own personal harem! For that i can no longer idly stand by and watch as the comrades i have led before you showed up suffer, that is the mark of a true leader!" 

I waited until he was finished with his speech "and do you agree with Luciano, Oliver?" i calmly asked "well, yes sir, i have had enough of you beating me for things i didn't do and that awful thing you made me make the other night, well i can't stand it any more" Oliver hid behind Luciano shaking "very well, James! Alan! Restrain them both!" i ordered and Alan grabbed Luciano and James grabbed Oliver. I walked down until i was in front of a very angry Italian "you won't get your leadership back, i plan on ruling the 2ps for a long time with Chloe by my side, looks like you and this cupcake freak can rot in the dungeons together and Oliver you'll see that monster of yours again you two will just be kept in separate cells" i laughed "you'll pay for this Keaton, soon you'll get what's coming to you" Luciano threatened before they were both taken away "anyone else want to be defiant today?" i asked the rest of the 2ps, the room was silent "very well the plan will continue" i went back to my throne to wait for Kentin's arrival.

((Kentin's Pov))

The realm of the 2ps was an exact mirror image to the nation's realm only darker and more twisted. The big black building i guessed was their version of the world conference hall.  I stopped the motorcycle near the steps and shut off the engine. 

Entering the building, i could tell that there have been bloodshed here due to the blackened spots on the floor and walls. A large door was opened like a evil invitation "come in boy, we havn't got all day" i heard someone hiss out from inside but it sounded Russian. I walked slowly towards the door and part of me couldn't help remembering that time Kiku insisted we take a group picture together. We had a bit of a break from traveling after finding a small lake.

((Flashback- A few days ago))

This couldn't be real,  a lake? Really? Arthur and Ludwig went to the water to test it out but Alfred already had his American flag swimming shorts on and dived right in "Yahoo!!!" i couldn't help but laugh "you wanker, that could have been poisoned or something" Arthur scolded him "lighten up! All this trip has been about is business, travel and rescue! I think it's time we all had a little fun!" Alfred told Arthur who was fuming but eventually "fine we can take a day off but after that it's back to the task at hand" Arthur left but came back 10 minutes later wearing his own swim shorts which were a dark green. 

Kiku decided to make a fire so he could boil water for tea so i went over to help him "arigato, Kentin-kun" and in the end i was served a cup of green tea. I thanked him and went over to where the German brothers were hanging out and enjoying a cold beer, they took their jackets off so that they were in tank tops and combat pants "hey Kentin!" Gilbert waved "nice day isn't it?" i asked him "ja, it is, its nice to vinally have some rest" Ludwig smiled "i agree vut it's always a nice day for a frosty beer!" i laughed at Gilbert's enthusiasm "i'll have to try some when i'm legal" i mused "why not right now?" that question earned Gilbert a smack in the head with a frying pan "he's only 17 Prussia! Give Kent a break you idiot!" i looked to see Elizaveta with her bathing suit on. It was a cute little dark blue one piece but it still looked good. 

"Are you going to swim too Kentin?" she asked me and i shook my head "nah, i uh can't swim" i hung my head "oh then it's OK" Elizaveta smiled apologetically then walked away to the lake. 

Lovino and Antonio were fighting while they were using Kiku's little fire to make some food "i said no you bastardo!" i went over to see Lovino was boiling pasta "but amigo, we need to add some spice to the sauce" Antonio pleaded with him "we don't want to have hot sauce with pasta! Get it through your thick skull!" i decided to leave them, last thing i wanted was to be in the middle of their argument.

Matthew and Emily were watching Kumarie play with amusement so i walked over "howdy Kentin!" Emily greeted "Hey" Mattie smiled "so what are your thoughts on our little break?" i asked them "well deserved eh" Mattie stretched out on the ground "yep! of course Mr. I-Have-To-Eat-Hamburgers-All-The-Time just has to show off" Emily shook her head which made me laugh "you two are always at odds and ends with the food topic aren't you?" i asked still snickering "I guess we are, being competitive is our nature i mean have you seen the Olympics? More often than not we try and have the more athletes competing than any other countries but i'm not the one who deals with the Olympics that's all Alfred's doing" Emily answered me "yeah i believe he had 216 athletes to my 206 in the 2010 Olympics that was held in the city of Vancouver, he's always trying to show off especially with the team outfits in the parade of nations but i still got more gold medals than he did in the end " Mattie grinned. Kumarie came up to me and nuzzled my leg "you're going to rescue Madeline right? you're going to save my owner?" kneeling down i patted the little polar bear's head "yes, on my great great grandmother's grave, i will save her and bring her home to the ones who care about her same with Feliciano" Kumarie looked at me and nodded in approval before going back to playing.

At Sundown, things were quieting down, the crickets started chirping and the stars were starting to show "everyone, i was thinking maybe we should have a group picture, i always bring my camera after all" Kiku suggested "keseseseseses! Dat sounds like an awesome idea!" Gilbert enthused and in the end we all got together and the picture was taken. Kiku had put a timer on the camera so he could be included.

This day would not be forgotten even as we faced the dangers ahead.

((End Flashback))

I entered the room to see every 2p looking at me with evil smirks plastered on their lips "Welcome to our domain Kentin Phillips" i followed where the voice was coming from only to be shocked. The leader of the 2p's, the one who sent them after me in order for me to be killed, the one who wanted Chloe for his own sick enjoyment was my own 2p! His eyes were a cold evil shade of red while the hair was much darker to mine and my 2p wore a black shirt with black jeans and he also wore black boots. He stood up and walked towards me "you figured it out i see, My name is Keaton, i don't even share that filthy last name of yours because the lineage that goes back to that woman Elizabeth" i shook where i stood.

"If you're looking for Italy and Miss. Canada they're right there" he pointed towards a cage with Madeline and Feliciano inside"Kentin!!!" Madeline yelled as soon as she saw me "Mr.Kentin! you're here! you've come to save us!" Feliciano exclaimed with happiness but a punch to the face by Keaton brought my attention back to him "it's a shame to destroy you, i got an idea! Join us and everything you ever wanted will be yours, no one in your world will ever mistreat you again! They will come to fear you, so what's your choice" i took a step back, this was his offer? Looking at him "what of Chloe? if i join you will you leave her alone?" the question caused him and the 2p's to laugh "leave her alone? Ha! I don't think so, she will be mine but i suppose after she's of no use to me and my men anymore you can have her" i stared at the ground in fear, my breaths coming out in gasps but gripping the gun i had on me, i slowly looked at Keaton with defiance.

"No, i will not allow you to hurt Chloe, unlike you i love her, she's my everything, Chloe  is my reason for living, my friends i have made in this world are my reason to fight" This caused Keaton to grin evily "well i thought as much, i suggest you run"  I looked behind me to see the 2ps were closing in on me so i did as i was suggested. I ran.

I got to the front doors to find they were locked, with them chasing me, it wasn't a good sign so i ran upstairs and hid in a room. The only thing i could do was see about waiting them out and the closet seemed like a good idea at the time. I felt my heartbeat quicken as the door to the room opened "come out you little bastard!" oh god it was Alan! My first encounter with him in the library wasn't pretty, what would he do to me now that was in their realm? After hearing Alan had left the room a few minutes later, i left the closet and headed back downstairs to the  grand hall, surely it would be safe to get Feliciano and Madeline out of here. If only i were that lucky. James caught me as i was going down the stairs and cornered me "James! you got him!" I heard Alan shout from above the stairs. The two 2p brothers closed in and i had the smart idea of leaping from the stairs. I fell to the ground as i felt a sharp pain in my ankle, great i sprained it! The two started chasing me down but i limped into the grand hall when i got kicked from behind.

I collided to the floor with such force i swear i heard something crack. Looking to see who had kicked me, i saw 2p China in the doorway with a stern look on his face. The gun had slid from my pocket but Keaton walked up to it and kicked it away. "My friends, have a little fun with the great guardian of Hetalia" he backed away as the 2ps gathered around me.

I was kicked in the stomach several times, the ones who had blades cut me several times and i'm sure i had a few broken bones after they had weakened me. I coughed and spat out blood when looking at Keaton who had approached me with a sword in his hand. 

I was going to die, i was beaten until i couldn't move just so Keaton would have an easy kill. "Kentin!" i looked over to see Elizaveta and the others with her, i gave her a small smile but at that moment i felt the blade pierce me "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" i heard her scream out.

As my vision was getting darker, i saw Elizaveta slump to the floor as well as hearing Keaton walk through the portal that i'm sure my blood had created. Chloe, the nations i had failed them all. In that instant, my body went cold and the last thing i saw before i slipped away was the heartbreaking expression on Elizaveta's face.
