Chapter 1

The 100 army of light

What if things had been different and Clarke rather than Lexa died or seemed to die. It has been six months since Ontari's attack on Polic and Clarke's apparent death, now sky crew are back as part of the coalition and Bellamy is now working with Lexa to keep the peace. But there's a new threat the city of light and its army of light led by their queen of light Alie who has taken the body of someone Lexa and Bellamy both love.

I took an attempt at writing this idea out a while ago but it didn't feel like many people were interested in it, so I decided to put it on hold and try developing other ideas. Since then I've gotten I feel a lot better at writing plus there have recently been people asking for me to continue it. So I'm going to take another stab at it, I'll be starting from the beginning reworking chapters to make them better but I imagine that won't take as long as it did to write them the first time.

Please review I'd like to know what people think of how I change things.

Five months ago

'Everything is going to be alright Bellamy,' Kane said quickly concern evident in his voice as Bellamy was ushered past him towards Lexa's throne room and his sentencing hearing.

'You really think that Kane,' Bellamy smirked walking forward freely; he had no intention resisting the guards he was ready to meet his fate welcomed it even.

'Yes,' Kane said nodding 'they know you helped us to bring them Pike I told them myself'.

'Thank you Kane,' Bellamy said smiling at him as the door opened 'but I still took part in that massacre I don't think they're going to forget that.' As he said this one of the guards pushed him inside, instinctively he looked back and the last glimpse he caught of Kane was of him frowning regret written on his face. This actually made Bellamy chuckle, he doesn't think I'm making it out of this any more than I do he thought. Turning back around he saw apart from the guards there were only the various representatives from the twelve other coalition members in the room his was exempt from this for obvious reasons, plus of course Lexa who was sitting on her throne with Titus standing next to her.

'Nice to see you Lexa,' he said sarcastically as one of the guards forced him on to his knees, Lexa just scowled looking away clearly not wanting to meet his eyes. Looking around as he did so Bellamy pulled himself to his feet as he did so he caught a glimpse of Roan standing with there with the representatives. 'What is he doing here,' Bellamy yelled at Lexa pointing at Roan 'he has no right to be part of this.'

'I have every right Bellamy,' Roan spat back. Bellamy tried to lunge at Roan but one of the guards grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him back.

'Stop it,' Lexa shouted getting to her feet 'we're all here to do a job and I'm sorry Bellamy but ice gada is part of the coalition so they're entitled to be part of your trial if they wish'. Gritting his teeth Bellamy backed away from Roan glaring at Lexa as he did so, ignoring him Lexa walked forward in order to address the room.

'We are here to vote on the fate of Bellamy Blake,' she began 'Bellamy was involved with the individuals amongst his people who attacked this coalition and he engaged in their attacks himself. But he was also a major part of these people being brought to justice, and in Ontari of ice nations attempted coup being defeated,' she said this looking directly at Roan. 'These facts have been proven,' Lexa continued turning to face Bellamy 'do you deny any off them,' she asked looking him in the eye now.

'No,' Bellamy said frowning slightly 'I wish I could.' There was something added about the way Lexa was looking at him, she didn't often portray emotion but he could see the slightest indication of something there that almost looked like concern.

'I think you do,' Lexa said nodding turning away quickly. 'So,' she said louder addressing the rest of the room again 'now you vote on Bellamy's fate, should Bellamy be put to death with the others responsible for the attacks on this coalition or considering the good he has done should Bellamy be set free.' With that Lexa walked back to her throne and sat down as Titus walked forward her face stone.

Bellamy stared at her for a moment trying to figure out what was going on with her but Titus soon drew his attention away from Lexa 'All voting for the death of Bellamy Blake,' he called out loudly to Bellamy's surprise neither Roan or Indra raised their hand only six of the representatives did. 'All voting for him to be set free,' Titus shouted and then the remaining six raised their hands including Indra and Roan splitting the vote, Bellamy didn't know what to say he had not been expecting this. 'In the event of a tie in matters of justice,' Titus said looking at Lexa visibly gritting his teeth 'the commander shall mediate.'

'Go on Lexa,' Bellamy said smiling in that moment confident of his fate again 'have me killed you know you want to, if I'm lucky enough to be with her I'll tell Clarke you said hello.'

The mention of Clarke made Lexa flinch slightly as she rose from her throne but she tried not to let it show 'that's not how this works Bellamy,' she said stepping forward 'and also for the record it isn't what I want'. This made Bellamy go silent clearly shocked by what she had said, 'Bellamy Blake has committed crimes against our people,' Lexa said turning away from him addressing the room. 'But we have also committed crimes against his,' she continued turning back to face Bellamy breathily 'both sides here have hurt the other but when we have worked together we have achieved great things'.

'We remember Wanheda,' Lexa said louder razing her voice now turning as she spoke looking at each representative 'but we forget Bellamy Blake was the inside man on his own against the mountain men he set the stage for our attack. He was the one who handed us Pike the true man responsible for those attacks, unlike many here' she said with a touch of accusation in her voice 'he helped me defeat Ontari.' Lexa paused here to give this time to sink in, turning back to Bellamy she saw confusion in his eyes he hadn't been expecting this she could tell, she should have known a big part of him wanted to die. It would be interesting to see how he reacted to what she had planned, 'however,' Lexa said turning back around 'I understand there remains a debt that Bellamy owes, so it is my decision that as punishment for his crimes he will serve this coalition as a warrior until such time his debt is deemed repaid.'

'What,' Bellamy said breathlessly shocked as several of the representatives shouted things he didn't understand, why on earth was Lexa doing this.

'Quit,' Lexa screamed 'I am commander and my word in regards to mediation here is that Bellamy Blake will serve this coalition as punishment for his crimes.' The room went silent now as Lexa's decision was begrudgingly accepted, as this happened Lexa and Bellamy's eyes met for a moment both wondering what Clarke would have thought about this.

Present day

Shouts and sounds of things breaking echoed around a grounder village consisting of a selection of wooden buildings coming from the inside of the larger building at the centre of the village, that served as bar and meeting places for the local chief and his men. The sounds coming from inside the building were suddenly drowned out by the sound of guns being fired and a moment later several people ran out the building running away from the fight going on inside.

'I'm not going to ask you again,' Bellamy shouted inside brandishing his rifle at the chief who was still seated on the small throne like chair in one corner of the room they were in, while Murphy pointed his rifle at the few of the chiefs men who had stayed. They were both wearing guard uniforms but with the mark of the coalition now sown on to the jackets.

'I'm going to skin and gut you,' the chief snarled.

'You were late with your tax,' Bellamy said bluntly ignoring this threat 'and we deal with that kind of stuff appropriately,' he added grinning looking over at Murphy who gave a sarcastic smile in return. After he had been given service to the coalition as punishment for his crimes by Lexa she had offered a similar deal to several others Murphy included, serve the coalition and ovoid execution unsurprisingly most had taken the deal.

'Been doing this for what five months now,' Bellamy said frowning 'wow,' he continued looking back at the chief 'that's the longest I've had a job since the ark.'

'Technically this is my first job,' Murphy added smiling.

'The point here is,' Bellamy said gesturing for Murphy to be quite 'the commander depends on us to deliver,' he paused here surprised at himself 'there's a sentence I never thought I would say. But for us to deliver,' Bellamy continued 'you need to deliver,' as he said this he deliberately brandished his rifle in the chiefs face 'you got that' he almost shouted 'you got that. 317, I'm told that's what you owe and I'm also told it will be behind there,' he said pointing behind that bar 'unless of course you want to,' he added moving his rifle so it made contact with the chief's head.

'Ok fine,' the chief said quickly in a gruff voice, Bellamy gestured and both him and Murphy lowered their guns and then the chief rose from his seat but then as if on cue several new men rushed in armed with bows and arrows. Bellamy and Murphy were quickly rushed and had to drop their rifles 'see,' the chief said stepping forward 'this is what happens when you let munchacows be warriors,' Bellamy couldn't tell what he had just called him and Murphy but it was obviously an insult.

'I am not paying tax to Lexa,' the chief said punching Bellamy in the stomach making him fall to the floor 'she is weak like you,' he continued kicking Bellamy in the stomach 'you know there are a lot of people out there that would pay for your head.' He kicked him again 'believe me when I say if I was the one to kill Bellamy Blake the inside man a lot of people would take note of that.' The chief moved to kick him again but Bellamy pulled a hidden gun from his ankle turned over and shot one of the chiefs men Murphy took advantage of the commotion, drawing his own concealed weapon. Within a few seconds all of the chiefs men were down 'don't even think about it,' Bellamy shouted brandishing his gun as the chief went for a sword 'fine,' he said through gritted teeth.

'Wow,' Murphy said a few minutes later from behind the bar after he had forced the chest open and taken the small bag of diamonds out of it examining them as he did so.

'Why couldn't you just have payed,' Bellamy said exasperated looking from the diamonds to the chief 'save everyone all this trouble?'

'I'm not going to stand for this,' the chief sneered.

'Whatever you say,' Bellamy snarled 'this is how things work you knew that when you signed up with the coalition and one of the rules is that you pay your taxes so Lexa can afford stuff like army's to help protect you.'

'My people's leaders did that! Not me,' the chief said frowning sitting down on his thrown 'as I understand it your leaders didn't ask your people whether they wanted the coalition either.'

'Well,' Bellamy shrugged signing 'we all have to do things we don't want to do don't we that's how the world works.'

'What if I told you the world was about to change,' the chief said giving him a strange mysterious smile.

'Alright what's about to change,' Bellamy smiled amused but also curious but just then Murphy called his name distracting him. 'What,' he said in a gruff voice looking behind him.

'Bellamy come on,' Murphy called again already walking out 'let's get out of here.'

'Yea,' Bellamy called backing away 'I'm coming,' the chief was probably just trying to mess with him anyway.

Once they left there was a moment of stillness but then there was movement in one of the room's doorways seeing it the chief stood up just as Jaha entered the room smiling. 'They have no idea what's coming do they,' the chief said smiling him self.

'They will,' Jaha replied his smile widening.

On the outskirts of Polic a guard stood with a rifle slung over one shoulder outside a large crumbling building that was as old as the tower its self. It was difficult to see through the nights darkness but soon the head lights of the rover began to shine through the darkness seeing this the guard pulled out a radio 'there back,' he said in to it.

Bellamy who was driving pulled the rover up to the buildings new shiny metal door and stopped as it began to open upwards once it had risen enough he drove inside in to the buildings brightly light interior. Getting out carrying the bag full of all the tax he and Murphy had spent the day collecting Bellamy saw that everyone looked to still be up. All the lights that Monty had put in were on and everyone was walking about shifting boxes and cleaning the refuge as they had all decided to call the building Lexa had given them to use as a base while they had to live at Polise, it had been a few months now and they still hadn't manged to get the places fit for human habitation.

'How'd it go,' Monty asked walking towards them with Harper, Miller and Brian following behind him. Monty and Brian had been given the same deal Bellamy had by Lexa so they had to be at the refuge a fair few of those deemed to have played a role in Pike's attacks had taken Lexa's deep once it was offered so there were a lot of people living at the refuge now. Harper and Miller had both chosen to come here with their significant others, a few people had asked to do that to Bellamy's surprise a fair few of the remaining hundred had asked to come as well. Octavia hadn't though which was something he was still sad about he had no idea where she was after Lincoln had died helping them take out Ontary she had run off and he had no idea where she had gone. Grounders were living at the refuge to Lexa had insisted on it Bellamy suspected they were there to keep an eye on them ever that or because they were in Lexa's bad books.

'This guy almost got us killed,' Murphy said snidely pulling Bellamy away from his thoughts.

'What,' Bellamy said exasperated 'you were the one who,' but before he could complete his sentence he saw the rest of groups shared expression of unease 'what,' he asked worried now 'what's up with you lot,' more insistently when no one answered.

'It's Lexa and Titus there here', Harper said quickly looking worried.

'Where is she' Bellamy asked sighing.

'In yours and Murphy's office,' she said quickly still looking worried.

'Fine' he said looking in the direction of the office, they were probably thinking if he was in a bad mood he shouldn't be talking to Lexa, which was true but even if Bellamy were which he didn't think he was he wouldn't have a choice on whether or not to deal with Lexa. 'Wait here,' he said looking Murphy 'I'll go see what's up,' in spite of his better instincts he was actually letting Murphy help him run things, hence them sharing his office. He had no idea why but Lexa had insisted he head up the group of sky people working for the coalition.

'Hi,' he said frowning as he walked into the office seeing Lexa staring at the safe Murphy had put in to keep the stuff he got his hands on 'why are you here Lexa'.

'Bow before the commander' Titus said tersely from where he was standing.

'That's, not happening,' Bellamy said smiling closing the door behind him 'now again what do you want Lexa.'

'You've been doing a lot of good work Bellamy these past months,' Lexa said turning around 'you've proven yourself to a lot of people so I think it would be good if you start working with the initiates, I want then to learn how to use guns and I thought you could teach them.'

'Fine Lexa' Bellamy said impassively 'I'll teach them to shoot'.

'Being asked to help train the initiates is a great honour,' Titus snapped clearly offended by Bellamy's reaction.

'Not to me,' he said sarcastically looking in to man scowling face.

'Look at what you've built Bellamy,' Lexa began imploringly 'are you really not the littlest bit proud of what you have accomplished.'

'Built Lexa,' Bellamy scoffed 'I'm here as a punishment, remember I'm not here because I want to be. I'm here because I have to be and as for all that,' he said pointing out the door 'that is built on bad blood and' he said shaking his head now 'the body of a dead girl.'

'So were going to go there again,' Lexa said frowning 'I didn't kill Clarke Ontary did.'

'Yea but she killed her to get to you,' Bellamy said through gritted teeth 'Clarke wouldn't have been in that bastion if not for you Lexa.'

'You as well Bellamy,' Lexa said in a cutting voice 'the only reason Ontary thought she could even try attacking me was because of the attack you helped carry out.'

Bellamy glared at Lexa murderously now 'get out,' he said barely able to speak through his rage but Lexa and Titus stayed still 'get out,' he yelled now pointing at the door 'get out.' Without a word or even showing emotion Lexa turned and walked out the door followed by a still scowling Titus.

'Why do you allow insults like that from him heada,' Titus said as they walked out of the refuge and started heading back to the tower.

'I shouldn't have said what I did' Lexa said frowning ignoring the question shaking her head speaking more to herself that Titus. 'He loved her as well, he already hates himself for what happened to Clarke I should have just let him talk.'

'That's not what you're here for,' Titus said sternly 'you are his commander, Lexa and he should show you respect and gratitude for that matter you could have easily had him executed, you still could.'

'I don't mind,' Lexa said shrugging 'he does everything I ask him to do very well in fact I don't need him to respect or even like me.'

Titus paused for a minute thinking reading Lexa's expression 'you don't want him to do you, you like that he blames you for Clarke's death, don't you he's only saying things you think yourself.'

'I should have been there to protect her,' she said quietly in the same impassive tone she always used but with a hint of pain.

'Clarkes death wasn't your fault any more than it was Bellamy's,' Titus said firmly 'Ontary was the one who killed her and both of you saw that she was punished for that,' Lexa smiled slightly now remembering the night Ontary had been executed.

'I just wish,' she began stopping mid-sentence 'I wish a lot of things I guess,' she said looking at Titus 'I wish Bellamy had been able to trust me, I wish I had seen the danger Ontary would pose, I wish Clarke hadn't died, I wish I had been able to find her body.' She paused here remembering how she had tried to find Clarke's body after she had taken the tower back and how Ontary and claimed to know nothing about where it was.

'I know it's hard for you heada,' Titus said softly 'but I think Clarke would be pleased by the things her death helped achieve.'

'I know,' Lexa said quietly smiling as they continued walking.

There we are the first new and improved chapter I hope you enjoyed it. If you're reading this for the first time moving forward I will be including flashbacks so you will be able to see how things played out differently in my story. Also please review I'm trying to treat Lexa and Bellamy equally so I would be curious what people think.
