Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia OR Maximum Ride. Sadly…Oh, and by the way, Maddie(Canada) appears to be 16 or so.
No POV, Vancouver
Canada-also known as Madeline Williams-ran down the streets of Vancouver, dodging countless people who couldn't see her. She desperately wanted to have Kumajirou with her, but a polar bear in the middle of Vancouver would not end well. And apparently, neither would going alone. Earlier, some old dude with a lab coat spotted her and grabbed her wrist to pull her along, but she managed to escape. He must of called someone though, as a black car with tinted windows started chased her, essentially herding her towards the less populated portion of town. She took a right, then realized her mistake too late, she was in an alley. The black car pulled up and the passenger window rolled down, and a dart was shot into Maddie's arm. She passed out cold, and a boy, no older than eighteen reluctantly put her in the backseat of the car.
Canada's POV, Sometime later, the School, California
"Huh? W-where am I?" I sat up and hit my head on the top of the….dog crate? What in the name of Maple am I doing in a dog crate?! I scoot up to the bars and peer through them. I'm in a white room, filled with rows and rows of dog crates. Worse, they were filled with almost-not-quite-people. There was a kid to the right of me whose body had patches of scales and webbing all over his body. Ugh. To make it worse, the kid was dead. I had just finished assessing the horrors when two large wolfy-men dragged me out of my crate.
I was pulled down a hall, my strugglings doing nothing to deter them, even though as a nation, my strength was slightly above average. Not much, but they should have at least had a small issue. Apparently super-strength is a side affect to losing your humanity-wait, what? This place looks like a lab, the experiments, they all lead up to one thing:They're going to experiment on me. And I may not survive it, despite being a nation. And if I do, I'm never going to be the same again. I struggled harder, in a desperate attempt to escape. The things open the door and drag me in. The force me onto a table, and the same creepy old dude straps me to the table with metal restraints. If only Alfred was here, he could break the cuffs, but he probably doesn't even know I'm gone. I started to sob, both from the anticipation and from the thought that no one is going to come to save me. The scientist plunges a needle into my arm and I scream, both physically and mentally, as loud as I can. "ALFRED! HELP ME!" Then the world goes black as I passed out.
Alfred's POV, Minutes before, Alfred's house, Somewhere in the US
I yawned and walked over towards the kitchen, only to be stopped by the sound of something scratching my front door. What? I opened the door, and seeing no one, I go to close it when a growl emits from the ground. I looked down and see Kuma-what-its-name, standing there. Alone. Which was strange because he almost never goes anywhere without- "Canada! Crap, what happened?!" I'll admit I felt a bit crazy talking to a bear, but ignore that. Kuma-I decided I'd just call him that, it was much easier to remember-looked at me and tilted his head.
"She went to Vancouver, leaving me in the woods. She never came back." I stood there, stunned, half from the fact that my sister is in trouble, and half because the bear can talk. All of a sudden, I hear Maddie's mental scream.
"ALFRED! HELP ME!" I try to reach out to her, but she's gone unconscious. I look down at Kuma.
"We need help. Can you call-" I pull a piece of paper and a pencil out. "-England, France, Russia, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Romano, Prussia, Hungary, and Switzerland. You call the first six, I'll call the last five?" Kuma nodded, and we got to work.
Sometime Later, Alfred's House. No POV
"What did you call us for you bloody git?" Arthur asked, glaring at Alfred, whose eyes were red. He growled a little before answering, in the most rage filled voice they had ever heard him use, "Madeline-Canada-My sister, has disappeared, and earlier she sent out a yell for help. She must of been in great pain or in trouble, because she passed out directly afterwards." He looked at the people in the room, who squirmed a little in fear. There were a total of twenty-four people in the room, including Alfred, due to some others requesting more people to come along. "We will split up into groups of four. The groups are:
-Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Estonia
-France, England, Prussia, and Hungary
-Denmark, Norway, Belarus, and Russia
-Japan, Germany, Italy, and Romano
-Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Spain
And finally,
-Finland, Sweden, China, and I. Kuma-the bear-will come with us.
Now, lets go save my sister!" Alfred looked at everyone's stunned faces. "Why do you all look so surprised?" Prussia raised his hand. "Yes Prussia?"
"Where is she?" Alfred rubbed his forehead.
"I'm not exactly sure. She's somewhere on the West coast, probably California. Each group will be searching one of the six sections. You guys never answered my question though." Hungary piped up from where she was gripping her frying pan so hard her knuckles were white.
"We were just surprised your plan didn't involve us just being the back-up, or you being the hero." Alfred grinned.
"Well I am." His expression sobered. "Don't go anywhere alone, I don't want anyone to get hurt, well, except for the people who took Canada. Call me if you find her. Then we can get payback." Everyone nodded solemnly. "Well then, to the plane we go!"
Meanwhile, with Canada, the School, California. 3rd Person, Canada's (Kinda) POV
Maddie groggily awoke from her pain-induced slumber. She looked through the bars of her dog-crate and saw an unfamiliar room, filled with six crates like her own. Inside each was a grungy, blood-stained, child. The youngest looked to be eight, the eldest sixteen, Maddie's physical age. Canada was filled with anger at the stupid labcoat wearing people who did this! Before she could do something she would most likely not regret, a voice resounded in her head. 'Who are you?' Startled, Maddie jumped then looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. 'Sorry. I forget people aren't used to it. I'm Angel by the way.' Seeing Canada still looking around, Angel mentally sighed. 'Cage across from you, to the right, two over.' Maddie looked at the cage in question to see a little eight year old girl. Her anger soared again, and her hands grew cold as the temperature suddenly dropped. She looked at her hands in fear, then noticed the large red feathers in her crate. "Huh? Why are there feathers in my crate?" She wondered aloud. A sharp intake of breath came from the cage on her left, the only other cage on her side of the room. A boy's voice came from it, sounding urgent and scared.
"Check your back. Don't ask me why, just do it. Now." Canada compiled, and gently searched her aching back and found two small feathery….wings? What were they doing on her back? "Was anything there?" His voice had taken on a tone of worry and hope.
"Um..Yeah...It feels like I have wings." A stream of very creative and colorful curses rolled off the boy's tongue. Maddie thought that it could put Romano's cursing to shame. A female voice from the cage on Angel's left, interrupting Maddie's musing.
"Iggy! There are li-young children here! Watch your mouth!" The voice was a leader voice, it sounded so much like Alfred that Canada sniffled. The arguing stopped, and a quiet voice-rather like Canada's own voice-came from the crate on the other side of Angel.
"Hey, you okay?" The speaker was male, but it wasn't Iggy. Maddie blushed, she didn't think they could hear her.
"Yeah, I just thought of my brother-" A voice piped up from the crate across the room and to the left of Max's.
"You have a brother?! That's cool! Is he here? Is he, like, hot? What's he like? What's his name? Did you know Gazzy and Angel are siblings too! Isn't that cool?! And-" The girl was cut off by Max.
"Nudge. Let, uh…..What's your name?" Canada blushed.
"Sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I'm Madeline Williams, you can call me Maddie." Nudge piped up again.
"OMG! Are you Canadian?! That's so cool! Did you know Justin Beiber is from Canada too!" Maddie shuddered. That boy-man-child-thing was from her country? Ew!
"Nudge, let Maddie talk, okay sweetie?" Nudge nodded.
"Nudge? Interesting name...Anyways, to answer your questions, my brother isn't here, he is not hot-at least to me-He's really annoying and immature, and his name is Alfred. Also, who's Gazzy?" A voice piped up from the cage next to Nudge's.
"That would be moi." The boy's voice had a French accent, though he was most definitely not French. Canada shuddered.
"Please don't do that."
"What? Talk in French?" The boy asked, the French accent gone.
"No, the language is fine. The accent. I know a French guy with that accent, and he...uh...well….let's just say he was a pervert. End of story." Max nodded, shooting a look at Iggy's crate. Almost like he knew she was looking at him, Iggy piped up.
"Sooo...Wings? How long have you been here?!" Maddie flushed.
"Somewhere between a few hours, a day, or two days."
"And you already have wings?! Girl, you must have a super-healing mutation to heal and grow wings that fast! How big are they?"
"Mutation?"
"Like Max's super speed or Angel's mind reading power."
"Ah."
"Anyways, how big are they?"
"Umm…" Maddie felt her back and her wings. "It's hard to tell. I think they're about one and a half feet*."
"Tha-" Whatever Iggy was going to say was interrupted when two of those hairy-man-things threw another dog crate in. It bumped into Maddie's cage on the right. After the door slammed shut, an electronic clicking sounded, and everyone climbed out of their crates. Canada looked surprised and mildly suspicious. Angel-who Maddie could now see was a blonde hair blue eyed girl with white wings-giggled. Maddie simply raised an eyebrow and tried to match faces to names and voices.
When she was done, Canada meandered over to the new crate. Inside, an unconscious girl laid, crumpled, her curly dark red-brown hair matted with blood from a gash on her head. Maddie gently lifted the girl out of the crate and propped her up against the wall, thankful that she knew first aid, and that the cut wasn't too deep. She tore a strip off the girl's already torn shirt and bandaged the wound. The girl's eyes fluttered open, revealing grey-blue-green irises. "Who are you?" Canada asked softly, she didn't want to scare the girl. The girl frantically looked around for a little before she saw Maddie.
"Woah! Where did you come from? What are you? Who are you? I'm Delta!" The girl grinned, though the hyperness seemed to be drug induced and was wearing off. Canada smiled a little before answering.
"I was here the whole time. The name's Maddie." By then, the rest of the flock noticed Delta was awake and went to talk to her. Instead of joining them, Maddie walked over to Iggy and touched his shoulder. "Hey Iggy, will you measure my wings?"
"Sure." Canada turned around and felt his thin fingers run over the new wings.
"Hey Iggy?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you blind?" Iggy froze.
"H-how'd you know?" He stuttered.
"One, your eyes are an unnatural color-"
"So are yours! They're purple! Angel told me."
"Other people have purple eyes too. Your eyes also are slightly fogged."
"Fine. Continue."
"Two, in order not to stumble, you reach out in front of you a little. Most people wouldn't notice." Iggy grumpily said nothing, and Canada laughed.
"That's weird." Iggy's brow furrowed.
"What is?" Maddie craned her neck to try to see what was weird, and felt Iggy run his fingers along the top and bottom of her wing.
"Well, one, they're each about two feet each, six inches longer than you thought, which is about 4'4" foot wingspan. Two, they seem to be a darkish red with some brown and white areas, a strange coloration, though most of the white seems to be near the tips."
"So they're cardinal wings-which is odd, since only males are mostly red."
"Maybe, but I would say there is another bird in the mix."
"Hey, Iggy?" Delta piped up. "How can you tell what color Maddie's wings are if you're blind?" A blush stained Iggy's pale cheeks.
"I can, uh, feel colors?" Delta nodded like it made perfect sense. Maddie looked at her curiously.
"What are you? Apparently this is where they usually put bird-mutants, but you don't have wings, and they don't put normal humans here." Delta sighed and tugged on a lock of her hair.
"I'm an enhanced human. They enhanced our strength, speed, etc. They said that that the IQ of an enhanced human is higher than normal, but I doubt that. And as far as I know, we're completely human, except our DNA has been altered and-" Max held up a hand.
"Wait, we're? They're more of you?" Delta blushed.
"Yeah...There used to be Alpha through Omega." She gazed into space dreamily before snapping back to reality. "They started tossing us out though, we aren't good enough, no one is, except Omega. So they're tossing the rest of us. The only one that I know is still alive and in this branch of the school is Epsilon, or Eva, but she's getting her DNA-" A piercing scream erupted from a nearby room. Delta winced. "Mixed with a bird's. And Omega-" Her eyes grew huge. "They arranged a fight for you Max, you against Omega. It's a fight to the death, I think. But he doesn't want to do it!" Delta was obviously trying to convince everyone, including herself. "He has a microchip implanted in his neck that forces him to do what they want. If someone removes it, he'll help us." A shrill whistle set off, and everyone climbed back into the crates, which immediately locked.
After every cage was locked, a whitecoat entered the room, flanked by two Erasers. He started to speak in a condescending voice, which gave Maddie the impression that he thought they were idiots. "From now on, you will not have anymore freetime." He shot a look at Delta's crate warily. Maddie gasped. They were taking what little time they had to stretch away? The whitecoat ignored the little gasps of protest from around the room. "Another experiment will be moved in soon, and experiment Cf3g2b6A-" Eraser number one picked up Maddie's cage. "and experiment Delta-" Eraser two picked up Delta's cage. "-Are to be taken in for testing." The whitecoat and Erasers left the room. Iggy felt a knot of worry grow in his stomach for Maddie; who knew what they would do to her? And who knew if she'd come out alive?
Duh, Duh, Duh! I think this is the longest thing I've EVER written. EVER. What do you think? Good, Bad, Confusing?
