CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia primarily with mentions/small appearances by other nations.
RATING: G
NOTES: I don't know what this to be honest. I'm hoping it was at least a little funny.
SUMMARY: All the nations have been captured by an evil corporation, the only ones that managed to evade capture were the three Baltic nations. Now it's up to them to save everyone else. Will our unlikely heroes be successful? 

The World Is Not Enough ( But All Its Nations Shall Suffice )

“Is it just me, or is something strange going on right now?”

“N-no, it's not just you! Earlier I went to go visit Sealand and he wasn't there! S-so I went and checked all the places he could have been like England's house, and Sweden's house too! The s-strange part was that neither Sweden or England were there either. It's like everyone's gone missing!”

“Well according to the rumours going around on the net here, there's an evil organisation that's currently working on collecting all the nations and disposing of them. Of course, this is all internet speculation, but it would explain a lot.”

The three Baltic nations were gathered in a small room in Lithuania's house. Latvia, was standing, shaking in the doorway, his coat still on, Lithuania was standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed, deep in thought, and Estonia was at the computer, madly typing, clicking and reading away.

After a few moments of silence, Lithuania finally spoke up. “Well I guess, we should go and check everyone's houses first just to make sure that, all the other countries have in fact, gone missing as well.”

The other two nodded in agreement.

“If we split up the work among the three of us, the task will be done quicker.”

“S-should we meet back here at the same time tomorrow then?”

Everyone looked at each other in the room, gave a collective nod, before grabbing a coat if they needed, and headed out the door. Little did they know that the fate of the world would rest solely on their hands...

~*~*~

When the three nations met up again the next day, there worst fears had been confirmed. It was just as the internet had told them. Or rather, what Estonia had told them, based on information he gathered from the internet. All the other nations had in fact disappeared, they couldn't be certain that there was an evil corporation behind it, but it was looking more likely as the seconds passed.

“S-so what are we going to d-do?” Latvia asked.

“Well, I think we should try and help them, don't you? We're the only nations that haven't been captured and I don't know about you, but some of my friends have been caught. Who knows what'll happen to them? I don't want them to be harmed!” Lithuania reasoned. He looked determined to help. Countries like America, and more often than not, Poland, had been good to him. Now it was time to return the favour.

Estonia nodded, adjusting his glasses before heading to the computer. “I'm sure with some research we can figure something out. I'll look through some forums.”

Latvia blinked. “There are forums for these kind of situations?”

“Evil masterminds have a tendency to brag a lot. They like to share their exploits on forums, and compare their evil deeds with on another. It helps them to determine which among them is the most evil. I'm sure that whoever's behind on this would certainly love to share what he's managed to do. And at the very least, I might be able to get into contact with someone who has more information.” Estonia explained, as he began quickly typing into the computer, already on the forum, trying to find out what he could.

“Yes, that sounds like a good place to start. Good thinking Estonia.” Lithuania added, pleased that they at least looked like they were getting somewhere.

“B-but, why are you a member of this forum, Estonia?” Latvia asked, voicing the question he had been thinking, aloud while he listened and watched Estonia log in.

Estonia gave an awkward cough, before adjusting his glasses again. “I try to have an account for everything. You never know when the situation arises and you need to have one. Like with our current predicament for example.”

Now that Latvia had mentioned it, Lithuania got to wondering that as well. “So you've predicted that all the other nations would be needing our help one day?”

“Well no, not exactly! Can't you just be grateful that I have an account?”

“B-but what if you're the evil mastermind behind this plot?”

“Latvia's right. You do have an account for being an evil mastermind.. And we're the only three that haven't been caught. It does seem a little suspicious...” Lithuania explained.

Estonia sighed. “Alright, alright, fine. I used the forums to get hacking tips for when I first tried hacking into Russia's system, okay? I just didn't want to admit it. And you can't tell anybody, either. Besides, if I were going to capture all the nations, except for the ones I got along with, Finland would be here as well. I am not behind this, okay?”

Lithuania and Latvia nodded, understanding.

It was silent for a few moments while Estonia continued going through the forum, before Latvia piped up. “Well seeing as it was your first hacking attempt it's okay to ask for help. I- I'm sure everyone would understand. I mean especially since you're so much better at it now! You don't need help anymore, right?”

Estonia gave a grin. “You're right, I'm much better than all those other hackers now. And you should be glad because I've just found some information about this corporation that has taken all the other nations. And you're going to need my superior hacking skills to get into the corporation's system.”

Lithuania gave Estonia a pat on the back. “Excellent job. How long do you think it'll be before you can get into the system?”

Estonia studied the screen in front of him. “Two minutes.”

Latvia and Lithuania went wide-eyed. “R-really?”

Estonia rolled his eyes. Clearly they know nothing about hacking into a foreign system. “No, maybe two hours, if the security is poor. But it'll possibly take longer. Much longer. I'm good, but not that good.”

The other two sighed.

“Perhaps we should just have some cake while we wait, Latvia.” Lithuania suggested.

Latvia's eyes brightened. “Could we have some cider with that too?”

“Of course.” Lithuania agreed. “...Without alcohol of course.” He added and smiled ever so slightly as he watched Latvia's expression fall. The poor boy was too young to be drinking so much. “Besides, if we're going to be saving the world, our minds need to be sober for the next little while.”

Latvia grumbled. “You're right.” The sooner Estonia figured out what was going on, the better.

~*~*~

Several hours later a triumphant shout could be heard from the living room of Lithuania's house.

“Th-that sounded a lot like Estonia.”

“Do you think he finally got into the servers?”

Both Lithuania and Latvia looked at each other before quickly standing up and heading to the room with the computer in it.

As soon as Estonia heard the two enter, he turned in his chair, a gleeful expression on his face.

“I managed to hack into the corporation's surveillance system. Look here, this is a view from the camera that's watching the room that has all the nations locked inside.”

The other two nations peered at the computer screen, and saw a large warehouse room, housing all the nations in it. They seemed alright, and nobody was hurt. If England and America could still manage to argue with each other like that, the three Baltic nations assumed that everything was fine for the time being.

“Okay, so it looks like everyone's okay and no one is panicking. I've managed to find a blueprint of the building and I've also managed to access the building's controls.” Estonia explained, while clicking through various windows and tabs open on his screen.

Lithuania nodded as he tried to pay attention to what Estonia was saying. “Excellent work Estonia. So it seems here that the storeroom for the nations is located in the basement of the building. And if I'm reading this blueprint correctly, it cannot be opened once it's shut? It was designed to hold the nations and keep them there...”

“Um.. What's this clock thing in the room with them?”

Estonia and Lithuania's attention diverted from the blueprints, to the surveillance screen. On one of the walls, there was a large digital timer that appeared to be counting down.

“It looks like a timer. Perhaps how long the nations have before something happens to them? I'm assuming that since the room cannot be opened, the room also has designs to destroy the nations as well. Maybe a poisonous gas will be emitted?” Estonia hypothesized.

“Well if that's the case, we have less than 48 hours to save them!” Lithuania exclaimed. “Alright, so here's the plan. Estonia, I want you to get the GPS location of this building holding our friends hostage. We're going to send Latvia in.” Lithuania began to plan.

But Latvia chose that moment to butt in. After all, Lithuania was planning to send him in, without even asking him if he was okay with that. “W-why am I being sent in?”

“Because,” Estonia explained, catching onto Lithuania's plans. “You're smaller than either of us. You can fit through the air ducts. Which is probably the best way in, I'm guessing. It's a basement room, it needs airflow to get into it somehow. I also have access to the buildings utilities so I can cut off the power when you're inside. Don't worry, you won't be caught.”

“B-but how will I know my way around? And what do I do once I'm inside with all the other nations? You said the door can't be open!” Latvia didn't like the idea of being the only one breaking into the building on his own.

“Estonia and I will direct you. We have maps here so getting in and around won't be a problem.”

“As for the issue with getting everyone out.. Well the power's down, so I'm assuming the door will be in a weaker state so I'm sure I can create a device that could trigger the door's locking mechanism. I'll disguise it as a cell phone.”

“W-wow. Can you really do that?”

“Well if Q can do it in James Bond, I don't see why I can't.”

“But isn't Q fictional?”

“Stop trying to crush my dreams!”

~*~*~

Several hours later Latvia found himself stuck in an air duct in a strange building in Siberia.

“Why on earth would anyone build a hideout in Siberia,” he mumbled to himself. “Oh right, because no one ever goes to Siberia willingly.”

“Latvia! Latvia! Can you hear us?” A crackling came through an old walkie talkie that Estonia had found and reprogrammed for communication purposes. Latvia kept it in his pocket ignoring them, because they had been checking up on him every thirty seconds and he was certain that if were to get caught, they'd be the reason for it.

“Latvia! Latvia? LATVIAAAAAA!”

Latvia sighed pulling the old walkie talkie out of his pocket. “If you two don't stop shouting, I'm going to get caught!”

“But we're-” Crackle. “-ied about you.” Crackle, crackle, crackle. Useless is what those two are. Tossing the walkie talkie aside, Latvia continued crawl through the air duct deciding he'd probably be better off on his own. Only a minute later, his backpack started to ring. At first Latvia panicked thinking the door detonator that Estonia had created was going off early and he chucked the backpack as far as he could in the duct, which really wasn't that far at all, but after several rings he realized it was something else ringing. Carefully checking the backpack, he found a cellphone. Rolling his eyes he answered.

“Hello?”

“Latvia! Thank goodness you're okay! When you stopped answering the walkie talkie we thought something happened to you!” Latvia heard Lithuania's voice through the phone, before Estonia interrupted.

“But it's alright because we thought to give you an extra cellphone just in case. Though we did have to turn on the grid to contact you...”

“Y-you did what? So doesn't that mean, someone could potentially find me now?”

“Well... Yes...”

Latvia quickly shut off the phone and chucked it. He didn't care where it landed at this point. For all he knew their entire operation was ruined. For two seemingly intelligent people, why did it feel like they kept fumbling up at the most crucial part?

If Latvia remembered correctly from when he was at Lithuania's house, and the blueprints he looked at, he could probably remember the way to the room that was storing the nations. But he was suddenly distracted by voices.

“There was a 5 second blip on our cameras, coming from this room. We think there might be someone tampering with the room's security.”

Oh no, oh no, oh no. He was going to get caught. He knew it. His automatic reaction was to start trembling, but then he remembered that Estonia gave him a device that was supposed to help him in case he got into trouble. It was a laser pointer. If he shone it in someone's eyes, he'd blind them. Quickly peering out the air duct, he could see the two guards. Pressing on the button of the laser pointer, he pointed it right at their eyes.

Unfortunately it didn't blind them, only catching their attention towards him. Crap.

“Hey look! Over there!”

So much for being super sneaky.

Using what he could find around him, he picked up the cell phone and walkie talkie and chucked them as hard as he could at the guards' heads. He must've been lucky because both objects hit their intended target hard enough to knock them unconscious for the time being. Well, who would've thought.

More carefully now, Latvia continued his way to the warehouse. But stopped when he felt a vibration coming from his trouser pocket. Pulling out the offending object he saw that they had slipped him a pager as well. He wondered how he didn't notice?

TURN LEFT AT THE END OF THE HALL.

Latvia nodded, grateful they were only sending him directions this time. He did as he was instructed. Completely unaware of the panic that Estonia and Lithuania were going through back at the house. Wondering if he was okay or not. With the pager they could only send directions because it wasn't like he could respond or anything.

“Alright, he should almost be at the room now.” Estonia deduced.

“Okay, tell him to unlock the door, and get the nations out of there as fast as possible.” Lithuania ordered.

Estonia nodded once, doing as he was told.

~*~*~

Once Latvia made it into the warehouse, it now felt like no time had passed by since he saw all the nations on the computer screen at Lithuania's house. America and England were still arguing, France was busy trying to convince the female nations that for their last living hours, they should all spend it naked, and as Latvia was almost at the door, nearly going unnoticed, Latvia got tackled by a rather spry force.

“LATVIA!!!”

Latvia examined the mass clinging to his midsection. “Sealand?”

“Yes! Have you been here all this time? How come you never came to say hi to me?”

Latvia tried to muffle the kid's loud voice while trying to explain, “I just got here, and I'm trying to rescue you all.”

Sealand blinked, wide-eyed. “You mean like, let us all out of this room?”

Latvia nodded, causing Sealand to start wailing.

“Nooooo! Don't do that! It's so much fun in here! People actually have time to play with me now, and listen to me! It's like a huge sleepover! I'm having a lot of fun!” Sealand continued to cling to Latvia.

But Latvia was determined. He had a job to finish. Setting his backpack down, he pulled a rather large looking device. Estonia didn't quite manage to make it small enough to fit into a cellphone, rather it was a large black box that could only fit into a backpack. Latvia placed the black box by the door and pushed the button on it. Estonia had said something about magnets and mechanisms, but Latvia chose not to pay attention deciding it was either going to work or it wasn't. About a minute later, a loud 'CLICK', was emitted throughout the room as the door slid open.

“See! I told you I could do it! The hero always saves the day! Ahahahahaha!”

“Don't be a git. It was probably just faulty technology on the door's part.”

Latvia didn't even care at this point that he wasn't going to get recognition for all his hard work, just grateful that it was all over and done with.

~*~*~

The next day the three Baltic nations were exhausted, and weren't pleased when Russia said he was going to be paying them a visit.

“I am in a very sad mood today, it is nice to be visiting some other people.” Russia stated, when he arrived.

“Why might that be?” Estonia enquired? If Russia was in a bad mood, it might not turn out too well for the three of them.

“My big plan to become one with the world did not turn out so well...”

“Y-your b-big plan?” Latvia asked.

“Da. My big plan. I was taking all the nations who refused to become one with Russia and put them all into a room. If they weren't willing to become one with me, they couldn't stick around. It is not good if I want to become one with world.”

Then it all clicked in Lithuania's head. “So you were the one behind all the nations being trapped?”

“Da. Who else would it be? Did you not wonder why you weren't put into room with everyone else? It's because I know, you three will become one with the great Russia. But someone had foiled my plans and now I am not very happy today. So I came to visit, in hopes that I will get Latvia to serve me tea and cake.”

Latvia nodded quickly dashing off the the kitchen with Russia. While Estonia turned sharply towards Lithuania.

“I thought you checked Russia's house, and he wasn't there?” He hissed.

“W-well.. I checked Belarus' and Ukraine's house and assumed that Russia wouldn't be around. I didn't really want to go to his house if I didn't need to!” Lithuania explained.

Estonia sighed. If he had known from the start that Russia was behind it all, he would have been able to hack in much easier, and probably would have even been able to open the door by pressing a couple buttons.
