Kenya showed Russia and Germany around the caravan. There was Saudi Arabia, the leader of the group, Cyprus, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, and of course as Kenya had mentioned, Turkey. Russia and Turkey talked for a while with Kenya excitedly pushing into the conversation.
But Germany hung back, watching cautiously, when the world had been normal, Germany had been banned from hanging out with his parents allies and there children. However Japan still visited him every now and then. But did any of that matter now that the countries lived in the apocalyptic outlands? rules no-longer mattered? But Germany had to stay away to protect everyone. And he knew that now.
"Hello Germany" Turkey started talking to him, inviting him to the Conversation.
"Hi Turkey." Germany Stammered in response "I'm afraid I'm not allowed to talk to you... I'm sorry"
"Why not?" Russia growled "who told you that?"
"The Allies! It's to protect everyone! I don't want to lose control again..." Germany added quickly "I don't want to hurt you to".
"They were lying! That's like saying that if I see Finland, I'd think he was talking snow!" Russia answered, "you shouldn't avoid cats because of your past."
Germany didn't here him, he looked at the ground, the shadows swirling at the edges of his vision, a voice echoed in his head.
He's right about the fact you shouldn't ignore those form your past...
Don't ignore Turkey, don't ignore ME.
I'll give you everything a country could ever want...
Power, bravery, land, loyal followers...
All you've got to do it let me in...
"Germany? GERMANY? Why isn't he responding?" Russia turned towards Turkey urgently. Germany's eyes had glazed over but he was still breathing, rapidly.
A murmur came from behind Russia.
"Germany! You can speak! Are you alright?, what happened?"
Germany didn't respond, all he murmured was "I'll let you in, I want to be powerful again..."
"STOP HIM!" Turkey yowled. "You don't want him to let that thing back into his head... its unpredictable, it could kill us in SECONDS!"
"Your to late" Germany laughed in a different, older voice, his eyes where black the pupils were slits of light "Germany's mine"
"Reichtangle!" Russia screeched "get away from him, I mean, out of him!"
"I can't do that" Reichtangle laughed as darkness surrounded him, and then vanished revealing his true self "but its SO good to be back"
Russia gulped "l-leave him alone! I'll fight you! I'll KILL you!"
"So, Germany's been travelling with you I presume? That's rather strange, considering your dad and uncle killed me and Germany's Uncle..." Reichtangle ignored Russia's threats.
Russia leapt at Reichtangle, letting all his rage and furry out. The two collided and landed with a thump onto the sandy floor.
"Rus- S-stop" Germany coughed.
Russia's claws dug into Germany's neck, but at least Germany was back to normal.
"Sorry" Russia mewed, letting go of Germany. "I should've listened to you".
Germany was shaking uncontrollably; his fur was even more ruffled than before.
"Why'd you let him in Germany? You didn't have to did you?" Russia asked, Turkey and Kenya had left them be and were waiting in the main area of the caravan.
Germany looked up at Russia, his eyes were still distant and scared, but he looked slightly more normal. "He offerers you what a country would want most in there life, and he's shown me he can do it. So, I don't doubt what Reichtangle says".
"But you know he's going to take control and that you'll have no power to stop him".
"That's what makes it even more tempting" Germany finished with a flick of his tail; he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
