Nationstates Hetalia VI: The Time of Times (IC)

[Re-nabari vampires]

"Do you know what we do to criminals? We crucify them." Reicher said.

"Who is it?" an officer asked.

"Assassin Miriyu of re- nabari vampires here"the voice behind the door said
"Go ahead and do that but you won't get anywhere" Andy replied

...

[Sauritican]

"Fetish." NC rolls her eyes, "By the meteor." She still does the sign of the cross (I believe that's what it's called)

By the hill, a priest is reciting the glories of Thunor and Tiw to the dying crucified ones.

"Very interesting nation, germanic and pagan, reminds me of studying post-roman Europe."

[The Grey Wolf]

By the hill, a priest is reciting the glories of Thunor and Tiw to the dying crucified ones.

"Very interesting nation, germanic and pagan, reminds me of studying post-roman Europe."

"There are also Celtic, Roman, and Vedic forms of paganism." the guide said, and as if on cue, a Celtic priest appeared, and like his Nordic counterpart, cited the glories of the Celtic deities, usually Irish one's such as Dagda and Lugh.

"Who is it?" an officer asked.

"Assassin Miriyu of re- nabari vampires here"the voice behind the door said
"Go ahead and do that but you won't get anywhere" Andy replied

The officer opened the door and allowed her in, out of curiosity.

Reicher decided to use a different approach. She started stroking Andy's neck.

[Monfrox]

Lidev touched her lips. "What a bitch...taking my lips in such a way as to-" Mon socked her in the gut again. "You have no room to talk, you know?" "Okay, point taken."

A Grey Wolf girl fell out of the tree. She was the personification of the 3rd Army, the one deployed to take over the isles. "What did I miss?" she asked groggily.

The trio looked at her. "I'm sorry, but this area is off-limits to Grey Wolf personnel." Lidev said.

[Sauritican]

"Very interesting, at least while I'm stuck in this God-forbidden place, I might learn about your culture." NC continues walking, "by the meteor." she again says

"You might not want to say that in public," her mentor said. NC had three personal asigned to her. The guide, the mentor, and the guard. "It is not your place to criticize the gods."

"Alright." she said. "What is gonna happen to me here?"
(Night)

[The Grey Wolf]

A Grey Wolf girl fell out of the tree. She was the personification of the 3rd Army, the one deployed to take over the isles. "What did I miss?" she asked groggily.

The trio looked at her. "I'm sorry, but this area is off-limits to Grey Wolf personnel." Lidev said.

"The invasion? Oh that's right! Did we win!?" she asked, not realizing who Lidev was.

[Monfrox]

The trio looked at her. "I'm sorry, but this area is off-limits to Grey Wolf personnel." Lidev said.

"The invasion? Oh that's right! Did we win!?" she asked, not realizing who Lidev was.

"Hardly." Lidev replied. "This territory is still under our control, as it always has been."

[The Grey Wolf]

"The invasion? Oh that's right! Did we win!?" she asked, not realizing who Lidev was.

"Hardly." Lidev replied. "This territory is still under our control, as it always has been."

"Wait. Red hair, demonic eyes, sexy voice. It's you!" Ursula exclaimec, realizing who Lidev was. She started hugging the demon's feet, begging to be spared, promising to do anything.

[Monfrox]

"Hardly." Lidev replied. "This territory is still under our control, as it always has been."

"Wait. Red hair, demonic eyes, sexy voice. It's you!" Ursula exclaimec, realizing who Lidev was. She started hugging the demon's feet, begging to be spared, promising to do anything.

Lidev felt a sweatdrop form on the back of her head like the other two of the trio. "What is this shit..."

[The Grey Wolf]

"Wait. Red hair, demonic eyes, sexy voice. It's you!" Ursula exclaimec, realizing who Lidev was. She started hugging the demon's feet, begging to be spared, promising to do anything.

Lidev felt a sweatdrop form on the back of her head like the other two of the trio. "What is this shit..."

"I'm a virgin, I won't be any fun to shoot. I'm just an average conscript trying to make a living and that damn Rome wannabe is making life hard. Okay, maybe I'm embellishing, I wasn't conscripted, I was born into it. Though please don't hurt me. I've said some racist things, made a few racist jokes about Monfroxians, but it was nothing serious. You just remind me of goths." Ursula panted for breath, tears drenching Lidev's feet. "I. Don't. Want. To. Die."

Want. To. Die."

The trio stared at Lidev's feet. They weren't sure whether to to be mad or pity the girl. Lidev pulled her feet away. "Get off me."

Ursula started kissing Lidev's hands in supplication and begging for mercy. "Oh please oh god oh please. I mean, oh Satan, oh please." she cried.

"Dude..." Ruse commented. "You must've made that army your bitch..." "You don't fuck with Monfrox." Mon said confidently.

Ursula was too busy figuratively kissing Lidev's ass, although she probably would have done it literally if she thought it meant she could live. She kept pleading until she went hoarse.

[Bezombia]

Kronos sat, once again, alone in his chambers. He had removed all of Bezutious's artifacts from the room except for that symbolic chair on which he sat upon, alone, in his chambers.
He was contemplating his next move, or even if he was going to make a next move, when his 2IC knocked on the door.

"Sir, you have a visitor. Says it's urgent."

"Send him in..."

2IC left, and Kronos, who did not scheduled a meeting with anyone, was confused as to who it might be.
He stared in horror as a man dressed in regal green robes strutted into his room and shook his hand.

"Hello!" the man said, "Name's Laos. I'm sure you've heard of me. I've certainly heard of you."

"They...they told me you were dead..." Kronos was struggling for words out of sheer shock. He'd thought he'd won.

"Yeah, I assume they've told you a lot of things."

Laos pulled up a chair and sat across from Kronos, staring at him. As with Vietnam, they were the same height, so their eyes met as equals.

Kronos was the first to break the silence.

"You...they killed you. I saw the footage. Ground down by a boulder in East Narkhadom. I saw it with my own eyes."

"No. What you say was what you needed to see. Wanna know what happened at Narkhadom? Nothing. The entire Battle of Narkhadom was made up for your cameras."

"Why? What purpose would that serve to anyone?"

"To keep me hidden, of course. We knew you were targeting me, after all I was Bez's third in command. Once we heard the news that you'd captured Vietnam we needed to make sure you thought I was dead."

"And the others? Cambodia? Myanmar?"

"Dead, sadly. Drowned out by the First Wave almost four months ago."

"So you're the only one left?"

"Seems to be."

"Then why risk it? Why come here if your life is the most valuable?"

"We'll get to that. You see, Kronos. Cambodia and Myanmar were contingencies, nothing else. The only reason Bez even kept them around is if something happened to me, Vietnam, and Bez himself. They never really held any power and they didn't, up until the end for both of them. That's part of the reason they died so early, they couldn't take the assault like me n' Vietnam could."

"Why did you come here?"

"Because I got a message."

Laos took out his cell phone, and old Nextel NX880 flip phone, and threw it to Kronos. Looking at it, Kronos found only one text message. It was from "Amoeba", and said "Ho Chi Minh is down".

"The fuck does this mean?"

"Don't tell me you don't understand. You spoke to Vietnam, we know you did. You watched Vietnam die."

"How...how did you know that?"

"Because Ho Chi Minh is down."

It was at that very moment that the whole situation seemed to dawn on Kronos. And with understanding of what he had started, also came understanding about what he was about to face.

"So, I capture Vietnam, Vietnam kills himself, someone sends out this message, and then the cavalry spurs into action? Is that what's going on here?"

"With one flaw."

"And that is?"

"Vietnam didn't kill himself."

With almost scripted punctuality, a gunshot could be heard from the other room, and Vietnam walked in. There was a large bullet hole in the side of his head, but he didn't seem particularly phased by it.
Kronos was in hysterics.

"I WATCHED YOU DIE! YOU SHOT YOURSELF IN THE FUCKING HEAD! YOU'RE DEAD!"

He turned to Laos.

"WHAT KIND OF SICK GAME ARE YOU PLAYING HERE?!"

Laos was calm, and Vietnam pulled up a chair.

"It's chess, you see."

"The fuck!?"

"It's chess. Your king took ours, but like a headless chicken we marched on. Your king took our queen, and then tried to take our bishop. However, in failing to take the bishop, you were destracted enough to let a pawn across the board...and the queen returned right under your nose."

For the first time in weeks, Vietnam spoke.

"And now, because you failed in your move, it is our turn."


Laos took reached into his back pocket and took out a machine that was significantly larger than his back pocket. It was foldable, black, and had some sort of orange gas in all sorts of vials attached to it.
Kronos didn't understand.
Laos explained:
"This machine transcends time. It was first used to turn Bezutious into a god, and later used to travel time,and then to travel between universes (and time).
This machine is older than I am. It dates back to before Bezutious was damned, and when he was he thought it was gone forever. Vietnam here had a hunch as to where it was, and when we got the message that he was sure you thought you were unchallenged...we retrieved it."

"That doesn't even make any sense! And what is that orange stuff?"

"I don't even know what it does now. The rules have changed since the last time the machine was activated. Time travel isn't real anymore. People don't become gods anymore.
I don't know what it does, but we're all about to find out."

He slammed the machine on Kronos's lap and hit the large yellow button in the center.

The Gates of Truth

There were large black gates here. Ten stories, maybe more, above the ground. They had somewhat intricate inscriptions but nothing meaningful. The gates were attached to a large black wall that stretched further then the eye could see.
And that was it. There was nothing else. No sky, no ground, no colors...just the wall, the door, and whiteness...

...and Kronos knelt in front of them.

The Gates of Lies

There were large red gates here. They went on in all directions as far as the eye could see. They had very intricate inscriptions that depicted the slaughter of millions of people.
There was ground here. Black ash, molten rock, etc. But that was it. Nothing else.

Vietnam and Laos stood before the gates, dumbfounded.

The Gates of Truth

As Kronos knelt, the gates opened just a smidge. A tiny hand popped out, about six feet up. It was not a human hand. It didn't even have any color, or texture. It was just a black outline of a hand.
A voice began to ring...a child's voice...

"Come to play with me? ...I'm impressed! Or maybe...like the others...you're here for someone else?"

The Gates of Lies

"Laos...Laos is this hell?"

"I think so, 'Nam. I think so."

The gates began to open. A hand came out. It used to be human. It was black, shriveled, burned, and covered in ash.
A voice rang out...an elder's voice...pained and strained...

"Have you come to see me? Good...we have work to do..."

The Gates of Truth

Kronos stood up. The gates began to open fully. The hand retreated. A bright, blinding light was coming from the doors, and the they opened the less Kronos could see...

The Gates of Lies

The doors began to open fully as the hand retreated. Beyond the doors, a blackest black, blacker then any other black, could be assumed. It could not be seen, as no light could enter this place...

The Gates of Truth

...Kronos ran into the light, seeking exit from this horrorful emptiness...

The Gates of Lies

...Laos and Vietnam ran into the blackness, seeking exit from this hell...



They both began to fall, through the dimensions, beyond time...and they fell into a courtroom.


The Trial

While it was certainly a courtroom, it seemed to resemble a stage. There were large amounts of cameras in the back and the whole thing looked like a television set. There were jurors, they seemed to be Benomian people. There was an audience, mostly Benomian racial minorities. Laos and Vietnam stood confused in the witness box. Where one would think the judge to be standing, there was just an oversized wig placed on the chair. In fact, the entire Judge's corner was oversized...the chair itself seemed like it was dozens of feet tall. Kronos sat in the defendant's seat.

The wide doors at the front of the hall opened, and a short, skangly man came out. He seemed to somewhat resemble Cambodia, although he wasn't Cambodia.
He sort of jumped around when he spoke. He was wearing an 18th century "gentleman's" white wig and gallons of makeup.

"Good morning your honor! The crowd will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you! He was caught red handed of the most unspeakable things! Witness, speak out!"

Laos uncontrollably blurted out:

"I always said he'd come to no good in the end your Honor, if they'd let me have my way I could have stopped him on my own! But my hands were tied, the bleeding hearts and artists let him get away with murder! Let me hammer him today..."

Next, Vietnam's mouth seemed to move without being told to.

"You little shit, you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key. Did you ever think about your actions before acting? NO! You had to have it your way, have you really purified anything at all? I hope you rot in hell..."

Kronos seemed dumbfounded, again...but also unable to speak.



The wig representing the Judge floated up into the air and a person began to materialize out of it. He was about forty five feet tall...but textureless. Just a black outline of a white silhouette of a man. He stood atop the hundred foot tall Judge's Desk and spoke with a booming voice.

"The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, there's no need for the jury to retire! In all my years of judging, I have never heard before of someone more deserving of the full penalties of law. The way you made them suffer, a billion human puppets, fills me with the urge to defecate! Since, my friend, you have submitted yourself to me, I sentence you set yourself free!"

At these words, the entire courtroom seemed to begin fading away. Eventually it faded so much that there was nothing left, just Laos, Vietnam, and Kronos in a white emptiness...falling....falling.....falling......falling.......



Bezutious's Inner Sactum

At once, Laos and Vietnam awoke exactly where they were before. They were covered in blood and on the floor, of course, but other then that they were exactly where they were before.

Sitting in the throne was not Kronos, but Bezutious himself. The other two men sprang up when they saw him, and Bez pushed them off. He ran out the door, saying "Come you two, there is work to be done!"



Laos and Vietnam silently fist bumped each other, and that chapter of Benomian history was over with.

[Jessjohnesik]

The Netherlands would like to improve relations with Eaglleia.

[Takalistan]

Taka's sewing up some clothes that were gnawed by some of the GUE members, she's right now working on Lance's Keffiyehs.

[Monfrox]

"Dude..." Ruse commented. "You must've made that army your bitch..." "You don't fuck with Monfrox." Mon said confidently.

Ursula was too busy figuratively kissing Lidev's ass, although she probably would have done it literally if she thought it meant she could live. She kept pleading until she went hoarse.

Lidev put her boot on Ursula's head and and then planted it into the ground. The girl now looked like an ostrich when it tries to hide itself. "Honestly, they come over to try and take what is not their's, claim they were hear before us even though we have CLEARLY been here longer, and then when they are beaten they beg and plead for their life. Have you no pride? No dignity? No self-respect?" Lidev was absolutely disgusted.

"I wasn't here because I wanted to," Ursula replied, somewhat indignant. "I was here because the alternative is being nailed to a block of wood and being left out to die."
