China woke up in a dark and empty room. He was surrounded by some of his fellow countries. America, England, France, Italy, Romano, Germany, Japan, and Prussia. Standing at the corner of the room was Russia.

Except he wore a strange rabbit mask. Pale lilac, with a big childlike smile, slicked back ears, and tiny pupils. Basically, the mask looked insane.

"I'm sorry." Russia whispered. "I didn't want to, but he-"

"Schizo." A voice called. Cascading down the stairs was the same rabbit masked man with a bright, shiny, starry purple vest, pink gloves that went up past his elbows, and pink boots. 

The masked man glared around at the countries, his purple gaze setting on Prussia. 

"Good news, Schizo!" he finally announced.

"Y-yes, Glitch?" Russia -Schizo- whimpered. 

"I won't kill your dear friends." The man sneered. "I'll make them join me."

Schizo's eyes widened. "Sir, are you...serious?"

"I might even free the others." The man, Glitch, decided. "It depends on whether he is one of the ones to join me."

Schizo's creepy stare went from Glitch to the countries. "W-which one, sir?"

Glitch gave a malicious smile and pointed to Prussia.

"Nein!" Prussia snapped. "I refuse!"

Glitch laughed, an eerie sound resonating in China's very bones. "Aw, did you forget me?"

He tilted his head forward and slid the mask off.

Time seemed to stop.

"Like you always do?" Canada hissed, clinging on to the mask of the most feared gangster in the world.
