Thanks anon for the advice, but I'm almost finished so the parts won't be shoved to the side. I love 'nations against a common enemy' stories and writing this was really fun. Sorry about the long wait everyone, this chapter was horrible to write. Only two more chapters after this though! The next morning dawned as sunny as the past few days and cast a strange green light on the forest floor. Those keeping watch, America and Austria, failed to register the beauty of this sight because all their attention was focused on the house that rose out of the jungle. The house seemed no different to any other house in a different part of the world, and the people who travelled in and out seemed relaxed and normal. The only things that set it apart were the traps they had to disarm to get this close to the house and the curls of barbed wire, complete with dried blood, that they could see dotted around the grounds. The servants seemed to be aware of each and every one, giving them a wide berth, even ones that were not visible to Austria and

"Now," France hissed and as one, they sped towards the house as silent as an owl in flight. Austria ducked down with America and France as the two Italian nations and Spain slipped into the kitchen. There were sounds of surprise which quickly fell silent as Spain, with the Italy brothers, smothered the servants and either forced them unconscious or tied them up securely. The three nations waited underneath the kitchen window, very aware of how vulnerable they were out in the open, and wishing that they could peer over the sill to see what was happening. Soon after, even though it felt like hours, Veneziano stuck his head out of the door

"Clear!" Belarus suddenly barked and America felt himself shoved back from England with surprising strength. He gaped up at England, who, moments later, involuntarily curled up into a foetal position. Out of the corner of his eye, America saw Hungary curl up as well and knew that Belarus was doing the same thing. He scrambled to his feet

America wondered how they were going to get the three nations onto the ground floor, England and Belarus barely being able to stand on their own, let alone climb downstairs

"America," England gasped frantically, his hand prodding at the wound and causing America to groan in pain.
"Leave off," America muttered as he sank down so he could lie on the floor. It was much more comfortable that way.
"I'm going to take the bullet out, America," England warned and America nodded. Or, he nodded an approximate version of a nod. The fingers were painful but quick and America sighed in relief when it was out of him. No need for his body to heal over the bullet, dying and coming back were painful enough.
"It's very unfortunate. He was such talented prey." America could hear the General speak before everything faded out. Hopefully the situation would be improved when he woke up.
Blame character limits for this stupid little bit. Also captcha is really starting to annoy me. And I have a strange desire to write Romano/Hungary and Romano/Belarus

Makes perfect sense that America's the first one down. Now, they play room to room stalking rather than the old-fashioned hunt the General wanted. Looking forward to it!

All of your guys are amazing. I love your comments and we're almost finished! I hope everyone enjoys this update. After America went limp, either falling unconscious or his heart had stopped beating, everything seemed to happen very quickly. England was just laying America's head down on the floor (no point in him being uncomfortable when he woke up) when another gun shot brought his head up sharply. He looked around to see the General bent over in pain and both bodyguards on the ground with a smiling Russia and a fierce-looking Canada standing over them

"I guess now would be a good time to say that our bosses are now aware of our situation and are sending a plane for us now?" France said smoothly as he and Spain came into view through an open doorway. He seemed to be speaking to everyone but his eyes remained fixed on Canada, who flushed brilliantly

"Can we get downstairs? I would like to leave this island as soon as possible and I think the General is starting to wake up." Romano tried to make his voice sound demanding and tough but the nervous look he sent to the General made it obvious what he was feeling. The other nations agreed with this assessment and the group slowly moved downstairs. Russia moved the General, taking no care to avoid bumping his head on the stairs. He remarked to France that it was a shame that the stairs were carpeted, it was less likely to cause brain damage that way. They decided to wait outside on the garden, scaring away the remaining servants with the guns they had taken off the General and his bodyguards

Woo! This has been such a great fill. So much plot. I just wish you'd used Austria's point of view when he shot the General. I would have loved to know what was going through his mind.
I'm really surprised they haven't killed the General. He's already proved he's capable of kidnapping them and incapacitating them. Now that he's seen their capabilities in action, he'll know how to hunt them even better. And knowing that he can kill them over and over again means he'd never have to find new prey.

The effects of their time on 'The Island' were small, but still present. Quite a few of the nations were gentler with England, Hungary and Belarus, until the three of them showed them exactly how recovered they were, and all of them looked out for each other a little more. Romano curbed his insults around his brother and Spain, America took every opportunity to make England blush and France had been spotted approaching Canada more than once. They talked about it sometimes, but none more often than Hungary and Austria

"It definitely isn't when you are captured by a delusional ex-military man." Austria agreed with part of Hungary's point, he still remembered how his heart had seemed to freeze in place when he heard that she had been captured. That was one part of the experience that he wished had not happened.
Hungary smiled at him, affection obvious in her eyes and Austria returned the smile. They went back to drinking, this time in a comfortable silence. Neither one of them let go of the other's hand.
As usual, my next couple of weeks is over a month and I still hate character limits. But it's all finished now even though it took a while! Thank you to everyone that has commented and anon that commented on the last part, I hope Austria's POV makes up for the lack of it last chapter. The nations didn't kill the General because they decided it was up to his nations (Scotland and Sweden) to deal with him. They didn't feel it was their place, which is a sort of headcanon for me.

this has been an idea I've been waiting on a fic for, since it seems obvious to have a Most Dangerous Game with the nations after humans, and you didn't disappoint. Thanks for the fic, and deanon sooon so I can befriend you!
