After Tino and Berwald had carefully devised a plan, they stepped out of their small separate room to join the others. Tino gathered everyone into a circle on the floor, and began to speak.

"Okay. The plan is that I will lure one or more 2ps back to this room. Then, you guys will ambush and capture them. We will hold them here until the others give us Peter back, and then we will make our retreat." Tino explained quietly, as though the 2ps would hear.

Mathias raised his hand.

"Yes, Mat?" Tino asked, wondering what the Dane could possibly need to say.

"Yeah, I get that this is a good plan... but isn't it hella risky? I mean, someone could get hurt... and with you as bait-" Mathias started, but Tino cut him off.

"I'm not changing my mind! This is the only way! I don't care if something happens to me, as long as you guys and Peter get back safely!" The Finn ranted, getting worked up by everyone questioning him.

Berwald saw how distressed the other nation was, and pulled him onto his lap. "Calm down. Don't say things like that." He stated, and wrapped his arms around him comfortingly.

The others kept silent, as Tino calmed down while being held. Soon he was back to his normal self, and could talk again.

"Sorry about that. These past few days have been...rough. I just- anyway. Berwald will be following along with me at a distance just in case anything goes wrong. Don't worry about me." Tino said quietly, feeling mentally drained from everything that had been going on.

"it's fine, Tino. We're all on edge." Lukas replied.

"Yeah, we get it. This has been a particularly trying misadventure." Emil chimed in, wanting to be a part of the conversation.

Tino sighed, and spoke once more. "Okay. So I think that we should go through with the plan right now."

"Right now?!?" Mathias asked incredulously, obviously not ready.

"Yeah. Right now." Tino stated, before getting up and going over to grab something from the bag. A few moments later, he pulled out a pistol, and concealed it in his coat. He then pulled out a pair of glasses, and put them on Berwald. Next came two swords, which he tossed to his lover, who caught them expertly. "Let's go." The Finn said seriously, before pushing the barricade away from the door. He stepped outside, and beckoned Berwald over.

"Get ready." Tino called back into the room, before closing the door. Just as he was about to take off down the hall, Berwald grabbed ahold of his wrist.

"You don't have to do this." The Swede whispered, pulling Tino to his chest. He looked down at the smaller nation sadly, before pulling him into another kiss. Their lips moved together in sync for minutes on end, before Tino broke away.

"I'll be fine. Don't worry." The Finnish nation responded with a smile, before turning, and running down the hall into the unknown.

"but I want to kill him!"

"No, Thurston. Not right now."

"Why can't I, hmm? Is it because you're attracted to him?"

"..."

"It is, isn't it?! Well, that's it! I'm so fed up with this, Bernard! You shamelessly flirt with everyone you can find, even the enemy! And now you like him?! I'm tired of this! I WILL KILL HIM WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

Thurston stormed out of the room, holding two knives in his hands. He was bent on destroying his 1p, and no one was going to stop him. 'I'll make Bernard see... i'll make him see that i'm the only one he needs.' the 2p thought, sprinting down the hallway.

"Thurston, wait!" Bernard called after the other 2p, but he was ignored. "COME BACK! I DON'T LIKE HIM, I LOVE YOU!" The ruby-eyed guy slid onto the floor, and started thinking. He knew that it was possible for 2ps to develop feelings for anyone their 1p fancied.... so he would just have to kill off his own 1p. It would work perfectly. With Berwald out of the way, there was no chance that Thurston would even try to leave.

Smiling evilly, the 2p rubbed his hands together, and stood up. He pulled a sword from his belt, and went the way Thurston had gone. Determined to kill anyone who got in his way.

Berwald followed Tino at a distance, as he waited for one of the 2ps to show up. He melted into the shadows, and watched to make sure Tino was safe. The smaller nation acted as though he was lost and afraid in the mansion. That was all part of the plan, and acting scared would attract more attention as they wanted.

Berwald tensed as he heard the noise of footsteps growing closer. And just like that, Tino's 2p walked out of a darkened room. He laughed creepily, and made his way slowly over to his prey, oblivious to Berwald's presence.

"I'm sorry, but i'm going to have to kill you. Actually, i'm not so sorry, but who cares?!" Thurston stated smugly, holding up a throwing knife. Before Berwald could react, the 2p had launched it into the air, aiming directly for Tino's heart.

Time seemed to slow down, everything waiting for the inevitable.

"Tino! Watch out!" Berwald shouted, running over to try and intercept the flying object.

However, he didn't make it in time.
