Disclaimer: Uh. No own. Bye.

It's hard getting on my brother's computer he's hardly ever off!

Anyway, I actually had this written before I even posted Chapter One… But I wanted to post them spaced so that I don't post them faster than I write otherwise you'll have to watch the grass grow while waiting for the next chappie. I'm actually up to Chapter five now.

Chapter Two: Freed and the Missing.

Here's the new chapter! XD

Alan's shoulders shook as he tried to suppress his rage. "Are you planning to trap him there for eternity?!"

The youth laughed, closing his amber eyes as he shook his head. "Unless he's immortal, I doubt it." He smiled wickedly. "The Gate Seal is practically impossible to destroy." He tapped his finger against his temple as he laughed at the dark look the man sent his way. "There's also a downside." He added, affectionately rubbing the ärm. "You age inside there!"

Alan froze in horror. A-Age?! The youth laughed at the look the elder man had on his face. "So you better hurry up, before he withers away."

Holding out his finger, the violet haired teen whispered "Andarta" before he vanished in a flash of blue.

Alan clenched his fist as he released his control over the Training Gate. Sure enough, it remained there, bound in the lock and vines.

"Air Hammer!" The brown haired man shouted before sending the blasts towards the door in hopes to break it open, despite what the bishop had said. His eyes widened as a rose vine reared up, its midsection still wrapped around the handle, before smacking the glowing balls away, high into the sky.

"And it's a homerun!"

Alan blinked. Did the vines… Just talk?

"Good one Rosie! You batted it away."

"Why thank you Rose. I agree, it was a good hit. What do you think Rosey, Rosei and Roses?"

"Good." The other vines chorused before letting out a giggle because of their simultaneous reply.

What a weird ärm… Alan thought before he realized he was wasting time. Maybe if I get the rest of MÄR, we can combine our powers and maybe that is enough to break it open! Alan could only hope; for his sake, Ginta's sake and the rest of MÄR-Heaven.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GINTA IS TRAPPED?!" Dorothy demanded incredulously as she was interrupted from her spa. Snow's mouth dropped.

"Ginta's in trouble?" She asked disbelievingly as she pulled herself out of the spa with the witch and quickly dressed.

"Where are Nanashi and Jack?" Alan asked, trying to collect everyone as quickly as he could. He wanted to save Ginta before the blond haired boy aged too much.

"They should both be around the castle." Snow replied as she chased after Alan, keeping in pace with Dorothy.

"And Alviss?"

"Bell said that he was resting." Dorothy answered before Snow. She narrowed her eyes. "But I can't be sure; I had dropped by to check on him and he wasn't there."

Alan furrowed his brows in thought. "Since Alviss doesn't really do a variety of things and that he's not in his room, I'll bet that he's gone for a walk."

"Without Bell?"

He didn't reply.

"ALAN!" The older man blinked as the previously mentioned fairy came flying towards them. "Have you seen Alviss?" She looked worried. "It's been five hours and I haven't seen him. He's not in his room and I've been looking all over for him."

Alan sighed though kept on running. "We'll look for him later, but right now, Ginta needs our help!"

"EH?!" Bell said surprised. "WHAT FOR?!"

The man sighed again as he picked up his pace. He was getting tired of explaining this. "He's trapped inside the Training Gate and ages as the years in there pass!"

"AGES?! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!" Dorothy yelled, speeding past him and disappeared from sight.

Oh no, Snow thought as she ran, her fist pressed against her lip in worry. We won't be the same age anymore if he gets older! A vein throbbed on her forehead. What happens if he becomes Dorothy's age?! He may like a girl his age more than a fourteen year old. The brown eyed girl also picked up her pace, speeding past Alan as well. Not if I can help it!

Alviss sat in the corner of the room, his face hidden by his knees as the youth shivered. Tears leaked from his eyes as he struggled to hold the sob in.

"Still being stubborn, are we Alviss?" A voice purred as Phantom stepped out of the shadows, eyeing the black haired boy like a piece of meat. Alviss shook his head at the question though kept his head bowed and hidden.

He gasped as he felt a hand roughly grab his chin and lift his head, making him gazing into lifeless purple eyes. The Knight rubbed his thumb over the wet trail of salty tears before smiling darkly.

"Are you scared?"

Alviss' eyes widened as he attempted to shake his head from Phantom's grasp. The man tightened his grip around the youth's jaw, causing the youth to freeze. It hurts, let go.

"Are you scared?" Phantom repeated lowly, his icy tone never warming. Alviss yelped when the Knight threw him across the room, making him skid on the ground, sprawled.

"Yes." Alviss croaked, finally finding his voice. "I'm scared, frightened, terrified…" He took a shaky breath. "Which ever you prefer." He didn't move from his position on the floor.

Phantom smiled diabolically at the submissive response as he approached the youth and straddled the younger boy's hips, causing the youth to stiffen and his breathing to become ragged.

Leaning forward, he wrapped his hand around Alviss' neck, pinning his head down so he couldn't escape. The youth choked out a sob, clenching his eyes shut as tears slid down his face. "Please… Be gentle…"

Phantom smirked. So Alviss has already accepted his fate. Chuckling, he leant forward, his mouth close to the youth's ear. "Now… Why would I do that?"

As days past, things seemed to grow more hopeless for the rest of Team MÄR. Not only was Ginta trapped, but it turned out that Alviss had vanished as well. Alan had organized search parties, but all had turned up with nothing.

Currently, they were sitting under a tree that was several metres from the bound Training Gate and exhausted from the energy they tried to put through to break it open. Nothing seemed to work at all!

"WAAAAAH! ALLLLVISSSS!" Bell cried, burying her face in her hands. "Was it something I did? Maybe he didn't want me to remind him it was his birthday!"

Nanashi blinked. "It was?"

Bell nodded, blowing her nose. "On the day he disappeared and Ginta trapped."

Rubbing his chin, Nanashi raised his head towards the sky. "Maybe that has something to do with why they disappeared?"

Bell shook her head. "It was just a day that the Chess Pieces had urgent business." Her eyes widened as she let off a wail. "DON'T TELL ME IT'S SO THEY COULD STAGE AN ALVISS-NAPPING SCHEME!!!"

Nanashi unblocked his ears when the little fairy calmed down. "Are you do-"

The blond haired man was interrupted as the ground begun to shake, snapping everyone out of their thoughts as they rose to their feet. They shielded their eyes as a large beam of magical power pieced through the door from the inside. "… Ginta?"

The beam of magical power faded as the thorny vines and roses around the door withered away and the lock shattered like glass. The doors flung open, slamming against the ground with a thud before a naked form leapt out of the Training Gate; Babbo clenched tightly in his right hand.

As the man landed, all the ladies jaws dropped and while Snow turned away, a blush staining her cheeks; Nanashi helped Dorothy close her jaw before spinning her around. The only guy girls should ogle is him.

The man before them looked different. Sure, he had long spiky blond hair tied in a pony tail and had the same aquamarine eyes, but he was much taller, better built with broader shoulders and evenly toned without an ounce of baby fat. Another difference was that he wasn't wearing his happy carefree smile. Instead, his mouth was firmly clenched in a thin line.

"Why the Seven Hells did you abandon me in that Shit-hole, Old Man?" The man asked; his voice low and deadly. "FOR THREE BLOODY YEARS?!"

A/N: A pissed off seventeen year old Ginta… Not good.

YAY! Ginta's older! … Hope no one minds… But oh well, I needed a plot somehow. I'm low on ideas -.- and I find it hard to fit a new plot in MÄR for some strange reason. I guess its because you can't change too much otherwise you may ruin it T.T

Poor Allie-chan. -.- Torturing him satisfies my inner sadism… Not that I mind humour (-.- Microsoft Word tells me I spelt it wrong… BUT I'M AUSTRALIAN AND WE SQUEEZE U's IN RANDOM PLACES!!)… Where was I? Oh yes. Humour I would only do with a one-shot really, because if it isn't, I'm just not satisfied with it and find it too boring to post.

I thought older Ginta would be good for Ginta x Alviss, and then Allie-chan could be the usual smaller uke.

Anyway, I watched Episode 54 on Youtube. Alviss was cute when he went in denial . I wish someone would sub ep 55! I can't understand hardly anything, except for bishonen which I agree very much on and their cheering. You practically hear it on every episode so it's very hard not to understand it!

Speaking of Alviss… I NEEDED A PLOT SO I JUST HAD TO HAVE HIM TORTURED! And it also feels weird making Phantom the extreme bad guy of the story -.-0 Phantom x Alviss is bad for you… BUT IN A GOOOOOD WAY!!! But of course, that depends if you like the pairing or not…

I just realized I was rambling. Oops.
