---HetaOni Extra (Hetalia x Reader x 2P! Hetalia)---

((A/N: Since Wattpad doesn't have blockquotes, the words that are ITALICIZED in the RECAP are flashbacks! On the other hand, in the PREVIEW, the ITALICIZED words are events to happen in the future. Seems easy enough, right? xD I don't know how to make the whole flashback and preview things less confusing, so I hope you guys understand! Also, for those who don't want spoilers, just skip the Preview part~  Thank you!))

///Third Person PoV///

A slim Japanese man wearing a pure white uniform appeared and calmly spoke, 

"Hello, everyone. It's me, Japan.

This chapter part will recap all the 11 Chapters of 'HetaOni (Hetalia x Reader x 2P! Hetalia)' that have been posted so far.

In addition to the recap, there will be some extra scenes as well as a preview of future developments.

We'll go over them quickly while (Name) and I add some commentary, so this is more like a revision and a guide for first-time readers.

Let's begin, then. First, starting with the prologue of the game."

--Prologue--

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Faint footsteps could be heard going nearer and nearer...

An Italian man wearing a blue military uniform ran through the roads and shrieked. "Eeek! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Heeelp!" 

"Ack! You? Don't run away! ITALYYYY!!!" scolded his masculine German friend, who was chasing after the said Italian.

=*=*=*=*=

After hours of running away, Italy managed to get Germany off his tail. "Okay! Now that I've run this far, even Germany won't come after me~" he said proudly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

"Training before the meeting...I was going to die! Hmm, I don't see anything familiar around here... Am I lost?" he looked around to check if he could figure out where he could possibly be. While walking around he saw a store that sold gelato, so he decided to buy some for himself. As he got out of the store,  he happened to pass by a group of students talking really loudly.

"Really?!" one of them exclaimed.

Italy was surprised and got himself curious of the students' conversation. "Hm?" he tilted his head and began listening in on the conversation from afar.

"It's just a rumour. You're not really going, are you?" asked another student.

The girl with them shook her head. "There are ghosts, right? That sounds kinda scary..."

"It's true! Lots of people went missing and got eaten by this huge monster!" said their friend, making hand gestures to describe what he knew about the said topic.

One of the students nodded. "Let's check it out! Where is it?"

"If I remember correctly, I heard it was a really big western-style house north of here." answered one of the students.

That sentence piqued Italy's interest and got him thinking. "A haunted house...Even though we're in peace nowadays, I never get to play or have fun with the others...

And here I really wanted to be friends with them..." he said in a depressed tone.

He suddenly snapped his fingers and opened his eyes, showing his amber orbs lighting up. "Oh, I know! I'll tell America about it! If he tells the others about it, maybe they'll all get interested! Ahah, I'm so clever~

All right, as soon as the meeting is over, I'll--"

"ITALYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" he suddenly heard someone shout angrily.

Italy turned to see that it was Germany, who seemed to be very frustrated. The Italian's spine shivered, as he was scared at his friend who was charging towards him. "VE!~ Eeeek! W-Why!?"

Germany grabbed Italy's arm and spoke, "So this is where you were hiding?! Stop fooling around and get back to training!"

"Eek! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! At least wait until I'm done eating my gelato!" the shaking Italian reasoned.

Germany shook his head. "You shouldn't even be eating before training! And I'm taking you back even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming!" he scolded, pulling Italy's arm in order to drag him back.

"Gack!" Italy let out, surprised at the sudden jerk of his arm.

=*=*=*=*=*=

"Wow, a haunted house? Sounds interesting! Let's go! I'll ask the others if they want to come along!" America beamed, whilst munching on a burger.

Italy nodded and smiled. "Uh-huh! I'll do the same!"

America cupped his chin and spoke,  "I don't think Japan will want to, though...Anyway, there are many others we can ask!"

"If he doesn't come, I'll try asking him! Er...There is a city nearby, you see, and from there you have to go... er... er..." Italy paused, trying to recall what he heard earlier.

Suddenly, they felt a breeze. It wasn't like it was from a window, though... it was more of something dashing past them.

Italy caught on to something at that split-second, though. A word. He heard a word.

"East"

Italy snapped his fingers and exclaimed, "East! You go east, and you'll find a big western-style house. I'm pretty sure that's it! I heard that you'll know it's it right away!"

"OK! East, right? It probably won't be in a very good condition. At least we'll have fun together!" the energetic American gave a thumbs up.

Italy smiled and spoke excitedly, "Yeah~ I think they're still in the meeting room. Let's go back, quickly!"

~*~*~*meeting room*~*~*~

"Oh... A haunted house, is it?" Japan mused.

America nodded and pat the Japanese man's shoulder enthusiastically. "Don't you think it's interesting?! The meeting is finally over and we have nothing better to do, so I thought we could all go together!"

"What are you going to do, Japan?" asked Italy.

Japan looked at the two hesitantly and spoke, "Well... I'll see what I can--"

"Aww, c'mon, let's have fun! I'm telling you, everyone is coming!"America said, trying to convince his friend to join them.

Germany placed his hands on his hips. "If so many people drop by there,it won't be a test of courage. Why don't you go first to take a look?"

"Yeah, I'll text you when I get there! Then, if you like, you can come over." China said.

Japan found it reasonable and nodded, "All right. I'll be waiting here."

"Well, then, those in the first group, let's go?" England asked, gesturing the others to depart.

Japan tilted his head as he saw his friend stare blankly at a certain place. "Italy? You keep looking at the waiting room.Do you want to talk to Romano?"

"Hm? Oh, sorry. It's... nothing." he said, shaking his head. Italy creased his forehead and muttered under his breath, "That...Did I just see...? No... That's impossible..." 

Prussia also noticed Italy and spoke, "Do you want to talk to Spain? Why don't you just go there?"

"No, it's fine. If I met them, I think I'd waver in my resolution. I'll go see them when I come back." Italy said with an uneasy smile. "Oh, I just remembered one thing. America and, er... China.And also, well... France. Can you do me a little favour?"

"Oh? Is it about the secret to my good looks? You can ask me anything~" France said playfully, flipping his hair.

Canada looked around and spoke softly, "Well, let's go, then? Just to make sure,we'll go east and then find a western-stylehouse, right?"

"What? Oh... yeah. Take care." Italy said slowly. 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

--Chapter 1--

"Thus, just like those who left first, I eventually headed to the house along with Italy, Germany, and Prussia." Japan said.

Italy nodded. "Yeah~ We soon found the house just like the rumours said. Germany was the most scared."

"Here I parted from the group, and when I came back, they were all gone. I thought they had left without me." Japan explained, hinting a sense of regret.

Prussia turned to Japan and spoke, "But the front door wouldn't open, so you kept looking around and ended up finding West first, right?"

Japan nodded. "Yes. He was in shock, so the first thing I did was continue to look around. As a result, I ran into that dreadful monster and somehow managed to get away."

~*~*~*~

(Name) stepped forward and spoke, "Well on my side, I was going to enjoy my

semestral break by playing the game 'HetaOni' the whole day. That was the plan--ah, but...I forgot that my parents planned a trip for us, so I had to scratch that one out. That day, though, I found something strange and interesting.

I found a cupcake.

Thinking that one of my parents left it for me, I ate the dessert. It was heavenly!

...Ah, but the problem was--my parents told me that neither of them knew of the cupcake, so it led me to become uneasy and suspicious about it. I was told to not mind it that much, so I tried to keep it off my system. With one last look at the splendid isolation hub of mine known as my room...I left the house with my parents.

....Little did I know that I was being watched."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

--Chapter 2--

Japan sighed and spoke, "He who fights and runs away may live to fight another day, as the saying goes.

After battling the monster, I met (Name)-chan. She had mistaken the mansion to be her aunt's residence and went through the front door. How that was possible, we do not know. What we do know, is that she is also trapped here in the mansion with us. So, we had her join us for her safety.

"Yup. During our trip, I fell asleep in our car. When I woke up, I was alone. Taking a look outside, I saw the mansion and thought my parents were inside...but it seems I was wrong. 

Even if I was very confused as to why I was in a place that was supposed to be pure fiction... I ended up accepting my fate and joined Japan in search of the other countries." (Name) explained.

Japan gave a small smile. "We were able to meet up with Prussia, Germany...and a mochi!"

--Chapter 3--

Japan continued, "Moreover, (Name) and I searched around. I was able to reunite with Prussia and then with Italy, as well."

Italy smiled. "We were finally together again, but we were really tired and left one of us to keep watch while the rest of us slept."

"We really appreciated that, Watcher." Japan teased.

Prussia pouted. "You'll pay for that, you bastards... --ah! Except you, frau!" he said, his tone changing halfway. "You know, I kept waiting for someone to say, 'I'll relieve you, Prussia, sir,' but not a single one of the guys woke up."

Germany crossed his arms. "Rules are rules. Don't you think it's better to recover all at once than relieve one another and remain tired?"

"Italyyy! West is so cold!" Prussia whined.

Italy couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Ahaha! But when we woke up in the morning, Prussia and (Name) were gone. We were really surprised!"

"Prussia was with France, right?" Japan asked.

The albino nodded. "Yeah, he was trying to open the door, and I thought it was that monster again."

-=-=-=-=-

=*=*=*=*=*

"Victory goes to the one who makes the first move!! Go to hell!!" Prussia shouted as he swung the door opened and charged outside.

//outside the hall//

"Aaargh! You cut my clothes and my arm!" a man shrieked in pain as Prussia attacked, causing the albino to stop.

Prussia squinted his eyes and looked again. "France...? Wh-what the hell, man? You scared the shit out of me..."

"Oh? You were here? Hey, there, what's the matter? Do you want to sit down?" France asked. He was a bit injured, but he finds his friend's distress more alarming.

//back inside the fireplace room//

"What am I going to do with this?!" France said, wincing in pain a little.

Prussia's eyes widened. "Oh, I-I'm sorry! Hold on, I think there's a cloth over there..." he said, looking around. There was a cloth in the corner of the room, so he took it and handed it to his friend.

"Really, that isn't like you, now is it? Getting scared like that and attacking people~" France joked.

Prussia raised an eyebrow. "Now, wait a minute. How come you're just fine?

I mean, we got the message saying you were here and came after you. How can you be all right?"

"What? But we just got here! America, Russia, and Canada are exploring the first floor right now, and China and England are checking out the third floor." France told him.

Prussia's eyes widened in confusion. "Huh?! You gotta be fucking kidding me!We've been here the whole day! I'm at the limit of my strength, too."

"Well... you look like it, too. And even after all this commotion, these three still won't wake up." France said, looking over the three men sleeping soundly.

The albino turned his head towards the bed. "Hold on--three....what the?!" he exclaimed and looked around the room frantically. "Where's the frau?!"

"Hmm? A girl, you say? Ohohohohon. What were you guys up to here, exactly?~" France joked.

Prussia punched his friend's shoulder lightly. "Sh-Shut up! It's not like that! There was also a girl who went inside this haunted house. All of us have been in battle and we're nearing our limit."

"But do you see now? I just got here, so I'm as good as new!" France spun around, showing off his condition.

Prussia nodded. "Definitely... You don't have a single injury. Aside from your arm, that is. What the hell? Did we change places in time? That isn't even possible...

The frau with us has disappeared, too! Where on earth did she go?"

"Maybe she wanted to go to the bathroom?" France suggested.

Prussia creased his forehead. "Hmm. I didn't think of that." he said, still unconvinced. "...Then again, a lot of strange things have been going on in this house.

How come we didn't run into any of you, even though you were here first? Time itself is...all screwed up."

"Speaking of time, my watch is broken. Look. The hands keep going round and round." said the Frenchman as he studied his watch.

Prussia also lifted his wrist to inspect his watch, as well. "All our watches are broken, too. Maybe something screwed around with them... Why don't we join the others and try working over a counter-plan?"

"Well, then, let's go out for a moment." France told him.

Suddenly, they heard someone or something banging on the door.

Prussia's eyes darted at the door, noticing the presence of whatever was outside.

France raised an eyebrow. "Hm? What's that noise?"

"... Tsk! So it really was around here? Let's take care of it first and then join the others, okay?" Prussia told him tensely.

France gave him a confused look, his hands drifting to his side where he had a sword in its sheathe. "I don't really understand what's going on, but do I sense a fight? Why do I feel I should draw my sword?" 

"Yeah. It's as fast as it's big, so be careful." Prussia warned.

France smiled. "Okay~"

As they cautiously got outside of the room, they saw a huge, grey, alien-like creature.

"......!! Aargh!! What is that?! It's huge!" France shrieked.

Prussia positioned his sword in front of him to attack. "Victory goes to the one who makes the first move (take two)! Let's go!!" he shouted as he charged towards the monster. He was able to hit the creature, causing it to recoil a little.

"Oh! You blew it off!" France exclaimed. Hey, this is kind of bad. Spain! Go call Spain!" France panicked.

Prussia facepalmed. "Shit, I should have invited him. I fail."

"Well, what are we going to do now? We can't go back into the room, and we're not fit to fight..." France asked, feeling deeply troubled.

Prussia snapped his fingers. "I know! Let's run! Retreat, retreat!"

"Wait, are you serious? We have nowhere to run." France told him.

Prussia thought for a moment. "Oh, yeah! We have to put it off the track and go back to wake up West and the others!"

France raised an eyebrow and gave him a look of disbelief. "And you think the two of us can put it to rout?"

"Okay! Let's fight with all our might!" Prussia urged.

~*~*~//first floor//~*~*~

"Phew, that was dangerous. But we still shook it off somehow, huh? I really am amazing." Prussia said proudly, panting a little. As he was walking down the stairs to the first floor, he spotted someone. "H-Hey, isn't that Russia passed out over there?" he pointed at a tall Russian man who seemed all bruised.

France took a better look at what his friend was referring to. "What? O-Oh? What--what happened?"

"Shit! I'm sorry, you two. I failed to be the hero..." America said in a low voice, frowning.

France eyes widened as he saw another monster attacking his fellow countries. "What?! What's that monster doing there?!"

"It couldn't possibly have got here ahead of us! But if it knocked out Russia... this time the odds are really against us." Prussia said in a hopeless tone.

France edged a little closer to observe the situation. "Looking closely, it looks like America is fighting it for the first time. Which means he should be the strongest... Will we have to count on him?"

"Yeah, we're worn-out, and even America will have to see what's going on and take over, saying something like, 'Leave it to the hero!'.." Prussia told him.

France nodded. "All right, then let's slowly pass behind the monster and hide."

Prussia and France slowly crept behind the monster quietly, so as to not alarm the creature of their presence.

Unfortunately, America noticed them from afar and muttered, "That's--"

Prussia pressed a finger to his lips and whispered, "America, you handle this!We're going to recover for a while..."

America didn't seem to read the situation and instead rushed over towards Prussia and France and exclaimed, "Hey!! Over here! What the hell? You guys sure are slow!"

"Stay away from me, you idiot! How can you be so stupid?!" France scolded.

America tilted his head, "What?"

Just then, the grey monster turned around to face them, getting ready to attack.

Prussia noticed this and he suddenly panicked. "R---RUN!!!" he shouted at them as the three of them ran away. 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Japan nodded at the previous explanation. "I see. And then you three left Russia and Canada behind and ran to the basement."

"When I came to, I was surprised to see that America was nowhere to be found, and Canada had disappeared, too.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"S-so, America is alive... right?" Canada asked in a worried tone. 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Canada's eyes widened. "What?! B-But I was there all along!"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Russia nodded, adjusting his bloodied scarf. "Yeah, definitely. If he weren't, even you would be troubled, wouldn't you?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Russia chuckled. "Oh, really? Sorry~ So, what were you and the others doing in the meantime, Japan?" he asked, turning to the Japanese man.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"... Haha, well, I'm his brother..." the meek Canadian laughed lightly.

Russia nodded knowingly. "I understand. I'm a little brother and an older brother, too... Even though it can be pretty tough~"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"We had no idea that such a thing had happened. When the three of us woke up, my brother and the frau was nowhere to be found, so we got very agitated." Germany explained.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

The three were discussing in the fireplace room. Japan looked at Germany and spoke, "Of course not. Your brother can take care of himself, right? And as for (Name)-chan, she's probably with Prussia. So...it's safe to assume that they're...both alright."

"Prussia? (Name)? They're definitely all right. I... wouldn't let something like that--" Italy spoke, but quickly covered his mouth.

Germany raised an eyebrow. "Italy..." 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"It was amazing! Japan moved like a ninja and vanished into thin air~He was looking for Prussia and (Name). Germany and I just stood by and waited." Italy said enthusiastically.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Italy looked down with a tinge of regret. "I should have relieved him...but this isn't the time to talk! Let's look for them!" 

"Indeed. Let me handle it, then. I'm in good shape, so I'll do everything in my power to find him. You two can stand by and wait." Japan said.  

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

--Ch4--

(Name) ran her fingers through her hair and spoke, "That part really confused me because it was like time was becoming messed up as we speak. When I tried to check what happened to Prussia, I met England and China instead.

"That's right, aru! We got really worried because (1) there was a girl stuck in this haunted mansion with us and (2) she fainted after seeing us!" China exclaimed.

(Name) scratched the back of her head. "Ehehe. Yeah. But hey, you're the one always cutting off my sentence--"

"--We also found out that she was previously with the Axis, and that she was looking for Prussia. But they were no where to be found, so we had her join us instead!" China interrupted.

(Name) couldn't help but squint at the Chinese man. "Aw c'mon! Really? Really? You always cut me off! Ugh." she muttered under her breath.

"When China, (Name) and I came back to the second floor, France was gone, and Russia and Canada were in the middle of a fight with the monster on the first floor." England explained further.

China smiled. "But at least we finally found Japan! He really helped us!"

"I'm glad I got there in time. I had no idea that America and the others had run to the basement, so it was very difficult for us all to assemble." Japan stated.

--Ch5--

"Yeah, and just like Prussia and France, we also realised that there was something wrong with the flow of time.

We split up into three groups and continued our search. On the way, we got a phone call from someone unknown." England elaborated.

(Name) looked down and clenched her fists. "Yeah...and during that time, I had an encounter with a certain strawberry-blonde haired, blue-eyed Brit...that offered me a cupcake."

"Aww, c'mon poppet! It was a delicious cuppy-cake, too!" Oliver defended.

The (h/c) haired girl turned around as she heard the voice. "Ollie, wh--?" she paused when she saw that no one was there.

Japan tilted his head, but brushed it off. "Anyways, all of us gathered to talk about the situation of one another, but we got really confused because we've got different memories of how we all arrived at the mansion. Later on, we decided to just consider the puzzle on the piano as a more pressing matter." 

--Ch6--

Germany crossed his arms and nodded in agreement. "We succeeded in solving the puzzle. And then, at the same time, we collected one thing."

"Yes. There is a clock somewhere in every room, and as we break them, the time axis goes back to normal little by little." Canada explained in a soft voice.

Italy raised hand. "Yep, but there's one drawback."

"Yes. Whenever we break a clock, strange memories flow into our minds.

We would only figure this out later on, but we have been coming to this house several times in a loop. The memories we got were from those times.

We figured they were just meant to confuse us and decided to ignore them.

Actually, after seeing those strange memories, we couldn't tell which ones were real and ended up suffering from symptoms similar to a mild memory loss." Japan said, looking a little troubled at the thought.

Italy sighed and gave a bittersweet smile. "I thought you'd cut me loose for being useless, so I ended up guiding you."

--Ch7--

"We were shown a few different patterns in our past actions, but it was different for Japan." China said, his gaze landing on the island nation.

Russia cupped his chin. "Japan was the only one who could see what would happen in the future."

"Indeed. I realised that I could save my friends' lives if I could see the future instead of the past and use it to our advantage." Japan told them.

America placed an arm over Japan's shoulder and gave a thumbs up. "Hey! Don't forget you finally found us!" he said, laughing.

"Oh, well. We took refuge in the cell in the basement, but we couldn't open it from the inside." France explained.

Prussia grinned. "We were confined there until Japan and the others showed up. But! We were finally all assembled!"

--Ch8--

"Yeah, but... well, I was a little late to make my appearance, but I finally got to act as the hero!" America beamed.

Japan gave a sigh of relief. "I'm glad we were able to save Italy from danger."

"In reality, I was supposed to sacrifice my own life so that everyone else could escape. To tell the truth, I considered doing yet another loop. I thought I'd failed.

After all... I'm the only one who can go back in time."  Italy said sullenly.

Canada hugged Kumajiro tighly. "We fought a lot. We were very weary afterwards, so we were very grateful for the base that Germany had prepared for us."

"I could finally provide a place to rest, and I also felt a strange sense of security...

We slept one night, and then, when we thought that Italy would finally tell us what he was thinking..." Germany said slowly.

Italy stuck out his tongue and scratched the back of his head. "Ah~ Sorry about that. I locked everyone up in the cell to come up with a plan to get them to escape, but I really hadn't expected my brother and Spain to come."

"Ah, but it wasn't everyone--wasn't it?" Russia asked.

(Name) looked down. "Yeah...unlike the others, I wasn't locked up in the cell.

I was actually...sort of kidnapped by the Second Players at that time. Well, I was sort of hesitant to come along with them because I knew they were up to no good...but they threatened to hurt my parents--which they said, were taken by them as hostages. I was even able to meet all of the 2Ps, who revealed that they were the ones responsible for having us in the haunted mansion!"

--Ch9--

"We had never come here or taken part in the fighting in the previous loops." Spain said, shaking his head.

Romano pouted. "I was just going to knock some sense in to my stupid little brother, but now he had amnesia. He was completely lost in time..." he said, his eyes softening in the end.

"All the memories from all the loops were packed into his head. This is the guy who's usually just, 'Ve, ve~!' so it was too much for him." China concluded.

Italy gave a half-smile. "It was like right after we broke the clocks. After some time passed and I calmed down, some of my memories came back! Not completely, though."

"In my case, I was still trapped in the room the 2Ps based. At first, I was sort of unsure of them and didn't want anything to do with them, even talking. But I had to understand. So, I ended up finding out their side. What their reasons were behind their so called revenge plan." (Name) explained.

Allen suddenly popped up behind the girl and spoke, "Yep. We had to get the dollface out of the picture that time if we wanted to succeed in our plans."

(Name) turned to see the person behind her, but saw no one. "What the heck?! Where are you guys?!"

"The poppet was left under my care, and wasn't allowed to leave the room--but well, I followed my heart and helped her instead~" Oliver said in a low, but seemingly cheerful voice.

The (e/c) eyed girl turned to her other side to find the source of the voice, but again, saw no one. "Okay, Ollie. I gotta thank you a whole lot for that one--but where are you?! How come you guys aren't showing up??!"

England tilted his head. "Love, who are you talking to?" 

"N-Nothing!" (Name) said nervously.

--Ch10--

"It took a long while... Okay, so Italy was still missing a lot of memories, but he finally told us how this whole thing started!" Prussia smiled.

Canada nodded but frowned. "But there's a catch. We understood the story about the first time, but there's a gap in the events experienced in the second time loop."

"Yes, we had questions answered, but still a number of questions remained. We were quite worried over the disappearance of (Name)-chan, too!" Japan said.

(Name) spoke, "By that time, I had a one-on-one talk with Ollie and even became friends with him! I realised that maybe the rest of the 2Ps could change like how Oliver did.  I managed to leave the room with his help and ended up on the first floor. 

I almost bumped into 2P Russia and 2P China, but I caught myself and waited til the coast was clear. When I thought it was already safe to cautiously go to where the First Players were...."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"Ciao, ragazza" 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"....I got caught by Luciano. The two of us had a very long talk about...something. After a few events, it seemed I got too fatigued and ended up falling asleep....only to dream about very strange things." the girl finished.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

--Ch11--

Japan nodded. "Ah, indeed. America and I saw that the only one who lost his life in the second time loop was Italy."

"But as far as I can remember, I never died...I wonder which one is the right memory?" Italy wondered, creasing his forehead.

-=-=-=-=-=--

"Me? What do you mean?" Italy asked.

England shook his head. "Sorry, we don't have much time.You're going to die very soon. Just listen to what I have to tell you."

"What? Wait... I don't understand..." Italy said in a confused tone, taking a few steps back.

The Brit looked at him and spoke in a serious tone. "Just listen to me! That's all you've got to do! Don't go to the second floor. That's all."

-=-=-=-=-=-

"That's what we should start figuring out from now on. Without losing focus, we're all going to escape together." Japan encouraged.

-=-=-=-=-=-

"But..." Italy looked at England, unsure of what he was saying.

England gave a frustrated sigh and spoke, "I'll put it simply. The second time was actually--"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"We were all about to get a good rest...when suddenly...the Second Players appeared before us." (Name) said.

France nodded. "Oui. All of us were dumbfounded when we were face to face with...the other us..."

"What made us a lot more surprised was that the frau actually knew these 'Second Player' guys, too!" Prussia exclaimed.

(Name) twiddled her thumbs. "....Yeah...I'm really sorry about that. I didn't have much choice...they...had my parents with them hostage..." she looked down and clenched her fists tightly. "......or so I thought they did."

"It turns out that my parents never entered the mansion, after all. And that the Second Players lied to me about having them hostage. I felt really hurt and betrayed by that." (Name) continued.

Germany pat (Name)'s shoulder. "We finally understand. Sorry we acted quite coldly at you, frau. We didn't know that you had a reason like that. If we knew about your parents..."

"...It's okay, Germany. Though, I wonder how my parents are doing outside? I hope they're alright." (Name) said, looking away.

-=-=-=-=-=-

Spain turned to the girl and spoke, "Don't worry, chica! There are even reinforcements standing by outside the house! Austria and the others will protect them. Though the first thing he might probably do when I get out of this house is get mad at me."

"It's your own damn fault..." Romano told him.

"When we got those things sorted out, we decided to get the good night's sleep that we deserved. When we were all rested, we all agreed to form an alliance!" America said cheerfully.

(Name) smiled. "That's right. It feels so unbelievable...but it really happened! Me! I got to form an alliance with all these Hetalia characters. I could fangirl so hard right now." she laughed.

-=-=-=-=-=-

"All right, then, shall we call it a day and go to sleep now? Starting from tomorrow, we'll be doing a lot more running and fighting in order to escape from here." Japan told them.

Italy nodded. "Yeah! Oh, hey, Japan, can you make tomorrow's breakfast with me?"

"I'd be happy to." Japan replied.

Italy smiled. "Ehehe! Thanks!"

Japan smiled back. "I'm glad to be of help." Japan suddenly faced forward. "Oh, by the way! From this point on in the chapter ,there will be a 'preview'.

Also, I'll say this one more time, HetaOni was largely based off  'Aooni' by noprops.

Please refrain from claiming that HetaOni has any connection with the makers of Aooni so as not to inconvenience them.

HetaOni was created by Tomoyoshi.

The English conversations we have in this fanfic are from the English version  of HetaOni by Pianodream and Neokyno.

This Reader Insert was largely based off that. The concept of the 2Ps involved in HetaOni, as well as the reader insert plot are by flamehazelollipop. Also, the story will incorporate her theories about the game's plot and possible endings.

Well, now, see you in Chapter 12. 

I hope you, Reader-chan, will be watching over us and reading Author-chan's HetaOni (Hetalia x Reader x 2P!Hetalia)  fanfic until we can escape from here together."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

They were certain that they were on the right path to escape, but...

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Oh, I remember that. You're talking about the one we hid, right? I saw it when we broke the clock." America said.

Italy's eyes lit up. "R-really?! Let's go get it right away!" 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

A time limit made them disperse once more...

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Wh-what was that tremor?!" Japan asked frantically.

Russia darted his gaze towards the door. "... It came from the corridor."

"You guys! Come back now!" China shouted.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

HETAONI

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Prussia explains the situation to his two friends, who felt something was amiss, but...

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Prussia looked down with a vexed expression. "It's just... it has a really nostalgic feeling. Like something that I felt a long time ago and forgot about..."

"What could it be? Maybe it has something to do with the voice that only you can hear?" Spain suggested.

France tilted his head. "Is that voice different every time you hear it?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

It was completely useless...

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Prussia cupped his chin. "Well..."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Canada frowned and spoke in a voice louder than his usual. "I'll take America's place.We look alike; anyone would be fooled."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

A new mystery and a new device.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Go home, Belarus!" Russia ordered.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Prussia looked at Japan in the eye and clicked his tongue. "Hey, aren't you forgetting something? I never said I gave you passing marks."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Hang on, Germany!!" Italy pleaded his German friend who was covered in a pool of blood.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

China looked at the Italian and yelled. "It's your call, Italy!!" 

"No! I can't!" Italy exclaimed, his hands trembling in front of a large grandfather clock.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Is he going to break the clock? 

Is he going back in time? 

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Romano punched the wall beside him. "That asshole! He got himself killed!"

Japan's eyes widened. "Oh, no! England and the others!"

"Italy, you have to decide now!" China urged.

Italy looked at them with a tear-stained face. "I..."

"You can't, non? Oh, bon, I guess I'll have to go and give them a hand..." France called over as he began walking down the stairs.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Everywhere. There were monsters left and right. And with those monsters, are countries fighting with all that they can against all odds.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Italy..." Germany said, creasing his forehead.

Japan thought for a moment. "The time when there is no moon? That's difficult."

Germany shrugged. "It varies quite a bit depending on the season?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Japan ran through the hallways of the fifth floor and up to sixth floor. It has already been damaged. The mansion is almost falling apart. He needs to make it in time.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

No matter what, they all disappear...

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

America smiled at them with hopeful eyes. "Guys! Don't forget about midnight! We'll all live and meet again!"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"I know this person..." (Name) whispered.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Belarus gave a nervous smile. "Th-thank you..."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Wh-What?! What happened?!" Prussia asked, panicking.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

America's eyes started to water. "Stop---Please stop, England!! Don't actually do it, please!!" he pleaded, not wanting the Brit to fall into his cruel fate.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"I never thought I would ever point my blade at you once again. Unfortunately for you, there is no way you can defeat me." Japan said to a certain Chinese man in front of him.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"But... who, then? Prussia?" Italy asked.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Italy looked at the little girl wearing a red, frilly dress and asked her, "Are you the one who got lost in the mansion?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from America.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"In other words, the potato eater and Veneziano are the same way?" Romano asked, raising an eyebrow.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Magenta coloured orbs stared down at the girl as the Italian man spoke. "Miraculously we all actually agreed on something...and that's for you to leave."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Germany gave him a rare smile. "I'll be fine. I'll definitely catch up with you. Aren't we all going to escape together? I promise you." he said before closing his eyes.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Prussia.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Get out of my way! I have to go and get Germany..." Italy ordered angrily.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Romano.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

YOU....

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Russia clicked his tongue and placed his cellphone back to his pocket. "It's none of your business who I'm talking to on the phone, is it? I really wish you'd leave me alone."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

England's eyes widened as he understood what the American was trying to say. "You mean--"

"--maybe...it's not too late for me to be a hero." America said, giving a weak smile.

The Brit softened his gaze. "......you git..."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from France.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Japan inspected the damaged floor. "I can't get across like this.I have to find a plank or something."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Spain.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"This....is a picture of me? I-I don't understand!" (Name) exclaimed, completely confused by what she was seeing.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Russia looked at all the grey monsters surrounding him and spoke, "So, all of you against me alone...I just need to be careful not to get my scarf dirty."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"No, please, do show me... the soap operas from your house. I want to watch them with you..." Japan told South Korea sincerely.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Germany.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

(Name) took a step back and looked at the person in front of her. "No way...you're...but I thought...I was real."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Please, I want you to show me the way." America asked the AmeriMochi.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Russia.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

The redheaded American tightened his grip on his nail-covered bat. "Say all you want, but we are never going to forgive you."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Even though everyone else is fighting so hard, we just sit and wait...Even our bodies end up weakening.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from China.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"I have to get out... quickly, quickly. I have to... get Germany...This isn't the time to sprain my ankle!!" Italy cried.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Canada.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"... The past?" Italy wondered.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Spain gave her a look of disbelief. "What? Shouldn't that be America's job?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from Japan.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"I....I want to be with you guys...even just for a little longer...! I...I want to live..." the girl croaked out, tears streaming down her cheeks.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Parted from (Name).

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Tell America when he wakes up that no one said there should be only one hero." England said angrily.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Why should I? You do understand that something like that is completely impossible, right?" she told me.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Austria took a look of their surroundings. "On the contrary, perhaps we should wipe them out. Greece and Turkey are taking care of the west right now, and the Nordics are in the north. We could go to the east..."

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

She looked at him with a sad expression. "He is no more...but you won't accept that, won't you?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Playing the villain, huh... Well, this time I'll keep mum about it." China promised.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

His eyes showed swirls of pink, but his sanity is still there with him. "I'll protect you, poppet." he said.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"And you just couldn't tell me about that? You think I can't help?" Canada scolded.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

(Name) ran her fingers through her hair. Having a hard time believing what she just found out. "After all this time...this was the answer...all along?"

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

"Italy's... heart... has... stopped..." Germany choked out.

**Italy has gone into cardiac arrest...**

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Italy woke up to find himself lying on the flower beds. He stood up and looked around. "Wh-what am I doing here?I have to go back now! Everyone will get worried--"

"Italy!!" he heard a voice say.

The Italian turned around to find the source of the voice he heard just then....but what he saw made him feel like his blood drained down. "You're..."

A man of a familiar face stood before him and spoke, "I was looking for you, Italy."

Ho....

"Holy Roman Empire."
