New World
Chapter 12- Square One for the 3rd Time
Lenalee's P.O.V
I landed ontop of Gray as I hit the ground. Allen had just opened a gate under our feet when the Crow had surrounded us. The last thing I saw was Allen starting to fight the Crow. I heard Gray groan from under me and I quickly got up.
"Sorry Gray," I said and I got a groan in response.
I helped him up along with Lucy, Natsu and Erza before Iooking around. From what I could tell, we were in Germany. I turned back to Team Natsu and was about to speak before Natsu beat me to it.
"Well, what the hell do we do now?!" He exclaimed loudly and we started getting weird looks from the townsfolk.
"I suggest we just go back to Fairy Tail and let Allen finish here. There is nothing we can do here." Lucy suggested and I looked at her like she was insane
"But what about all of the people here?! I still have family here, along with my friends! I can't just leave them!" I said
"Didn't you already do that when you came to Fairy Tail?" He asked dumbly and I froze.
I faintly heard Lucy yell at him and smack him, but I wasn't really paying attention to that. Did I really just leave them all there? All alone, to fight a war that was so uneven it was barely even a percentage chance that our side would win? Just leave the people I cared about, and those who cared about me back? What about Nii-san? He only came to the Order so that he could be with me. What did he do when he figured out that I left?
"We are going back." I whispered and Team Natsu stopped their bickering
"What?" Erza asked
"We are going back. Back to the Black Order." I repeated louder and they looked at me.
"We are?" They spoke in unison and I nodded before turning around.
"Come on," I said as I started walking towards the train station.
They followed after a few seconds and soon we were on a train to the Black Order HQ.
Timeskip-Black Order
I made my way through the underground water system with Team Natsu following me closely behind. We were almost to the end and I could faintly see a finder at the docks, most likely waiting for an exorcist to come for a mission. I smiled as I recognized the finder as Toma, and I picked up the pace.
We got up to the dock and I tapped Toma on the shoulder. He turned around and stumbled backwards in shock as he saw me. I smiled at him and gave him a small wave as he continued staring.
"M-Mi-Miss L-Le-Lena-Lenalee?" He stuttered and I gave him another wave
"Hiya Toma! Nice to see you again!" I said cheerfully and I heard a gasp coming from the left and I turned in that direction
I saw Miranda and Krory in their uniforms staring at me in shock and disbelief and I gave them a wave and a smile.
"Miranda, Krory! I missed you guys!" I said as I ran over and hugged them
I could tell that Krory had been training because I could slightly feel his muscles as I hugged him. I heard Miranda whisper my name before hugging me back and start sobbing. I also felt a few tears on my shoulder from Krory as he registered that I was actually in front of him and hugging him.
He soon also hugged me back and I let go after a little while. We talked for a bit before I remembered Team Natsu. I turned to them and saw them just standing there awkwardly while looking around.
"Guys, these people are Lucy, Natsu, Erza, and Gray. They came here with me." I said while pointing to each person as I said their name.
"Hello, I'm Krory." Krory said and held out his hand, which all of Team Natsu shook
"M-M-Miranda L-Lotto. I'm sorry!" Miranda stuttered and I comforted her before she shook all of their hands
"So Lenalee, what brings you back to the Order?" Krory asked after a few minutes of silence
"I needed to see if Nii-san was alright. We also wanted to find Allen-kun. He is on the Black Ark." I replied and Krory looked at me in shock
"Allen's on the Black Ark?! Why?!" He asked
"He joined the Earl so that the Earl would stop making Akuma, or that is what Lucy told me." I said and Krory looked at me in disbelief and was about to speak before we were interrupted
"I knew it! That filthy Noah! We should have killed him!" Chaoji exclaimed in rage and I clenched my fists and grit my teeth. I was about to go punch his lights out when all of Team Natsu beat me to it.
"HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ALLEN?! HE WASN'T EVIL AT ALL! HE WAS JUST A NICE GUY WITH NO HOME LEFT!" Lucy screamed while kicking him where it hurts
"WASN'T HE YOUR COMRADE?!" Natsu yelled through grit teeth and Chaoji scowled
"That filthy Noah wasn't my comrade when he tried to save that Noah in the Ark. He deserves nothing more that death." He spat and Gray punched him in the jaw.
"What is going on here?" A familiar voice demanded and I froze
"Nii-san?" I whispered and I heard a gasp
"L-Lenalee?" He stuttered out and I turned around before tackling him into a hug
"N-Nii-san!" I sobbed and I felt him hug me back
"Welcome home, Lenalee." He whispered in my ear and I gave him a smile
"I'm home." I replied back and he let go of me
"Where on Earth have you been?! We looked everywhere for you and Allen-kun! Is he with you?!" Nii-san asked while looking around and I shook my head
"He is in the Black Ark. He is with the Earl now, and I have been in a different dimension since I left." I said and he looked at me
He didn't do anything for a few minutes, just stare. Suddenly, he sighed and nodded. I looked at him in confusion and he just shrugged.
"It is not all that different than innocence if you think about it. A different dimension doesn't sound that surprising." He said with a chuckle and I smiled at him before turning back to Team Natsu, who were still beating Chaoji senseless
"Guys?" I asked hesitantly
They stopped and looked over to me with sheepish looks on their faces. I just shrugged and they walked over to Nii-san and I. After introductions, Nii-san filled me in on what has happened at the Order.
Apparently, nothing has really changed at all, except that Leverrier had gone practically insane when he found out that Allen was gone. I shivered when I remembered the last time I saw Allen, surrounded by Crows and Leverrier.
"But other than that, everything is the same." He finished and I nodded
"Nii-san, I was wondering if the Order had the whereabouts of a gate into the Black Ark. Do you?" I asked and he had a thoughtful expression on his face before he nodded with enthusiasm
"Actually, we located on in the town a few miles from here in a clearing. We haven't entered it yet though because we are checking for traps. It shouldn't be as easy as this to get into the Ark." He replied and I smiled in relief before speaking again
"Can we go there right now? I can just fly us over to the ark gate without touching the clearing." I said and Nii-san nodded
"Just be careful, I would like to see you again." He said and I nodded while backing up
"Okay, we are going to leave now if that's okay. See ya later Nii-san!" I said with a wave as we started heading to the boats
"Good Luck Lenalee!" He replied and I sat down in a boat. Miranda and Krory had left while I was talking to Nii-san so I just sat down in a random one.
This time, we aren't going to be sent back to square one. We are going to get Allen back, and we aren't leaving without him!
That was chapter 12! I hope you liked it! Again, I apologize for the really late update. I have no excuse that would help my case at all. I might not update again for a while because there is this choir thing coming up soon and I need to practice for it. Anyways, I am sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes in the story! See ya in the next chapter!-Maigan
