Saudi Arabia never showed himself in person, and hid behind the curtains as the mastermind. He wouldn't show himself unless necessary. Iraq walked onto the battlefield, his scarf flowing behind him. He had a steel scimitar at his side and a gun in his hand. "Marhaba. Aistaeada lildifae ean nafsik." he said dully. (Translation: Hello. Prepare to defend yourself.)

I took out my own dagger and had brought a hand gun for backup but I did not bring it out yet. If Saudi Arabia wouldnt come out I would give him a reason to do so. I thought then circled Iraq ready for a fight.

"Don't care." Pochi said. "We've been looking for you. I was half-hoping you were dead."

"Why were you looking for me? I told you I was going." his voice suddenly went dull as he sighed, "Your wish may come sooner than expected."

Taithlon ran forward and scooped Velos up in a hug. The old red panda nuzzled her.

"Don't say that, you old fart." Pochi said, turning away. "Then who will I have to annoy?"

"I didn't quite catch her name.. Hanatamgo?"

He made a long slash at Israel, missing her by a few centimeters. "You shouldn't bring a knife to a sword fight." He said.

I lash out with a swift kick to the back of his knees while dodging to avoid a second slash if it was attempted, I didnt bother talking my actions will be sufficient enough.

"I don't want Hana to hate me!" Pochi said, turning red. "Plus, she's too nice! You're more... cynical?"

Velos tail flicked, running against Taithlons cheek, "I think you owe my family an apology, it's bad enough now more forests are getting down, they don't need stress too.." he sighed, "I'm sure there are many other animals you can taunt."

I wasnt quite quick enough as I had been expecting a slash from the sword. I felt the bullet graze my left arm and tear through skin. I growled and held back a yelp oh pain. I needed to focus. I thrust forward with my dagger aiming for his sword hand.
