Author Introduction: I'm (I think) the newest member here, maybe also the youngest. I'm a big Hetalia fan and other animes like Gurren Lagann; Katekyo Hitman Reborn, etc. I've posted a fanfic here, which I deleted, and made this one to replace the other one. I hope you like it. And...I don't know how to use 'cuts' in LJ! Someone please help me!
I advice you to watch: this

The wind rustles the grass beneath his feet. The dark sky grumbles and thunders. Torches of fire lit up the dark rocky path. Muffled squeaks and curses echoed in the dark silent night.
Juan de La Cruz stood behind the new leader of the Katipunan, Emilio Aguinaldo, who, like him, is hesitating. Is this what the Katipunan's covenant with each other made of?
He and his brother's knelt down on the ground, blood oozing from their wounds, face filled with disgust and anger. Juan confronted them and tore the white piece of cloth that was in their mouths.
One of his brother's spat on his hand
"Anong kalokohan to? Juan! Sabihin mo sa kanila na wala kaming ginawang mali! Walang kaming pagtakaang sirain ang kasamahan na ito!" He shouted. Juan bit his lower lip.
Freedom or Betrayal? The truth or the lie? Andres or Emilio? Who is right?
He thinks of the answer. Its true that without Andres Bonifacio, his people won't have the courage to rebel against the unjust foreign oppressors; his people would be too afraid to fight for independence; that his people wouldn't have founded the Katipunan. His skills and strategic thinking led them many victories, and maybe sparked the hope of the Filipinos out there that one day, they will have independence.
On the other hand, as time passes by, as they won many battles, freedom has yet to obtained. He thinks of his sister.
Maria De La Cruz. His main reason why he endures so many battles and hardships. She might still be in Spain, being one of the servants of Antonio Fernandez Carriedo, her Papa and at the same time, her master.
He knows that Mindanao, Jose de La Cruz, is also fighting the foreign oppressor, but, has troubles supporting his men in battle -Their islands are very far away. But, he also knows, that he's thinking about Maria, the main representation of Philippines; Luzon -their little sister.
Now, he thinks of his decision. Of all the years passing by, Andres' leadership have gone down -The Katipunan started loosing battles; More men from this secret society have been captured and persecuted, and many more of his people have been abused. He couldn't stand it anymore.
But, what did started the revolts of his people, Oh, right. The GOMBURZA persecution. Even at this day, he couldn't forgive Antonio for doing that.
He stares at the dark skies above, and sighs. His gaze returned to Bonifacio and his brothers, who gave him a solemn look.
"Kayo ay inaarestado namin dahil sa pagtangkang patayin si Emilio Aguinaldo at pagtangkang traydorin ang samahan ng Katipunan. Ang katumbas ng mga kasalanan ninyo ay..." His breath began to get hoarse. Tears started swelling.
"Kamatayan, hindi ba?" Andres Bonifacio continued. He flashed a gentle smile at Juan
"Vivir mucho tiempo, sé que un día, nuestro amado país logrará independencia; El racismo y la opresión ya no será más" he said.
Rain lightly poured down on them. Blood oozing at from the flesh wound. Altogether, their bodies slumped on the ground. Juan looks at the reflection of his blade.
Traitor. He says to himself; the blood kept running down his bolo and into the muddy ground where, it was all washed away.
Bonifacio and his brothers were persecuted. Emilio Aguinaldo is the leader of the Katipunan.
His struggles for freedom will continue. He looks at the sky once more. Rain drops rolled down his cheeks, with the tears leaking from his brown eyes.
'Vivir mucho tiempo, sé que un día, nuestro amado país logrará independencia; El racismo y la opresión ya no será más'

Maria De La Cruz pauses sweeping the marbled floor of the Spain's estate, and looks up at the sky. Cloudy and Gray.
Lovino Vargas already left his home to unite with his younger brother, while, thanks to her, Mexico gained his independence. But what about her? All alone.
She pleaded Antonio for her brother to be sent home, to Philippines, while, she would replace him here in Spain. She later regrets her decision, but, realizes it was the best choice.
She wanted to be with her siblings, at home where she belongs. But, she couldn't help but, stay with Antonio, the lonely emperor, who had lost two of his colonies. And he was going to loose one more -The colony that gave him endless wealth. He wouldn't approve of that, would he?
She looks at her arm. A deep cut. Something had happened to her people.
She wipes the blood off her tan arm and wraps it with a piece of white cloth she found in the kitchen.
Crimson red blood. As red as the Red Flag of the Katipunan. Realization struck her like lightning.
Was the secret society of her people tainted by the blood of one of her own?
Maria de La Cruz prays silently... That everything would be okay. Suddenly, a very familiar voice echoes in her mind
'Vivir mucho tiempo, sé que un día, nuestro amado país logrará independencia; El racismo y la opresión ya no será más'
She realizes that it was from Andres Bonifacio.
"Vivir mucho tiempo, sé que un día, nuestro amado país logrará independencia; El racismo y la opresión ya no será más" she repeats
"Live long, I know that one day, our beloved country will achieve independence; racism and oppression will no longer be" After those words that escape her mouth, she cries.
She cries silently as the rain started pouring down outside.
