R- "There's nothing I want to say. It's just that...we're lost."

A- "We're lost."

R- "Who has the map?"

A- "Me."

R- "Readers! You hear that? Alzeid's got the map! Alzeid got lost!"

A- "Shut up! We're all lost together!"

B- "That's right! We're all lost together because of you, little boy Al."

Chapter 31: After Flowers Bloom part 1: Reaching the Gloom, pg. 2.

"I see..." Koumi said as he nervously looked over at the Dragon slayer. "Well I was gonna send Allen on a mission with Kanda and Lavi. Looks like I'll have to send you with them Natsu. Lavi can show you how missions are done."

"I'll catch on quickly I've been on lots of jobs before."

"The only difference is you don't get money or stuff for rewards." Lavi said.

"Well come back in a hour and I'll give you the briefing for the mission. Dismiss." Koumi said as he tried to wrap his head around the situation.

"Come on Natsu-kun I'll show you to the cafeteria." Lenalee grabbed Natsu's arm and dragged him off.

"Follow them Lavi! Do not let that kind of boy close to my Lenalee."

"Aye Aye sir." Lavi then ran off after them. "Hey wait up!"

At the cafeteria

"So you are Natsu-kun. You are such a cutie!" Jerry the cook said. "What would like to eat?"

Natsu thought he acted too much like the Guild Master of Blue Pegasus. "Uh...a lot of spicy meat and fire would be good."

"Fire? You can eat fire?" Lavi asked surprised.

"Yeah I'm a dragon slayer after all."

"Okay I'll have it out it a sec." Jerry went off to cook. He brought out the food. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Natsu said grinning he took it to a empty table. Lenalee and Lavi joined him shortly. As Natsu ate at a fast rate almost about how fasy Allen would eat, he noticed people kept staring at him. "What's wrong with them?" Natsu asked.

"Well I guess their just wondering who you are. Not many people have heard about the new Exorcist yet." Lavi said.

Suddenly a golden flying bird thing flew into his face. "Whoa what's this?"

"Oh that's Timcampy he's Allen's Master's Golem." The golden golem landed in his hair. Obviously sad about his master's disappearance. Natsu was reminded of when Happy was just a baby.

"Oi stalker why are you following me?" Natsu asked Link who sat beside him eating cakes.

"Because since Walker disappeared and your connected to it, I have to watch you."

"Right..."

As they went back to eating Natsu couldn't help but feel someone was sneaking up on him. "Hello Natsu." Natsu turned to see a man with brown hair in a ponytail wearing weird swirly glasses.

"Woah! Cool glasses!"

"Um...yeah well I'm Johnny and I design all the uniforms here. I just want to get your measurements and your perfence on the uniform."

"Well I want it similar to what I'm wearing now." Natsu said after Johnny had gotten his measurements. "I'll have done before your mission." Johnny then ran off.

"Does that guy always sparkle like that?" Natsu asked finishing his food.

"Well it's normal around here. Speaking of normal..." Lenalee looked at Lavi who was acting weird. She then rolled her eyes. "Three...two...one."

"Baka Usgai!" A yelled echoed thorough out the whole building.

Lavi stood up quickly. "Oops gotta run and hide now." He then ran off.

A second later Kanda appeared very angry in the cafeteria. "Where did he go?"

"Kanda what's wrong? What did Lavi do this time...?" Lenalee looked up at the top of Kanda's head and just couldn't believe what was there.

"Hahahaha." Natsu laughter rang out through the whole now silent cafeteria. For everyone knew not to mess with Kanda when he's mad.

"What are you laughing at? You Fire Freak!" Kanda yelled about to snap.

"I'm laughing at you." Natsu grinned trying to get on his nerves. Which worked. Kanda brought out mugen while Natsu fired up. "Bring it on girly."

"Stop it!" Lenalee hit them both in the head with her Dark Boots. She looked sternly at Kanda. "Just because your hair is purple and you have black cat ears and a tail. Doesn't mean you have to get so mad. And Natsu stop laughing."

"Okay..." Natsu said as he was reminded of a certain blonde haired girl back in his time. Actually Lenalee acted more like Lisanna then anything.

"Now why don't you two go to the mission briefing while I try to find Lavi." Lenalee pushed them towards the direction of the office and left to go find the rabbit.

Natsu and Kanda glared at each other the whole way down to Koumi's office. When they got down there they found Lavi in there already. When Lavi caught sight of Kanda he quickly hid.

"Idiot rabbit I'm not gonna do anything...yet." Lavi got up from his hiding place and was shaking a little due to Kanda's demon aura. Maybe now he would learn not to put one of Koumi's potions in Kanda's shampoo.

Meanwhile Koumi and Reever were trying not to laugh at Kanda's cat ears and tail. "Okay...since everyone's here...sorry but I need to get this out. Hahahaha!" Koumi kept laughing while Kanda scowled and Lavi went to stand on the other side of Natsu away from him.

Reever cleared his throat. "I'm sorry about the supervisor. I'll be taking over the briefing then." He shot a glare over to Koumi, who was still laughing his head off. He handed out folders to them. "The mission is about a train." Natsu looked sick at the thought of him on a train. "A ghost train. The story goes that a few years ago the train had crashed leaving no survivors. But ever since then there have been rumors about the train. That whenever someone gets on the train all the people who died on there are acting like they did that night of the accident. And even though they never had made it to there detestation, the alive passenger makes it to it's destination. But when they get off and look back it's gone. We think it may be the cause of innocence."

Natsu who was dreading the thought of even getting on a mode of transportation. "You sure it's not just one of those residual hauntings?"

"Oh you mean when ghost are living their lives over and over again?" Lavi asked.

"Yeah something like that..."

"Well even if it is we can still investigate it. Now since this about a train. You will be going on a train toward the specific station." Reever said. "Oh and your train will be leaving in about 5 mins."

"5 mins!" Lavi shouted running off to pack.

"Idiot." Kanda said walking to grab the suitcase he prepared.

"Oh Natsu-san here's your uniform." Johnny handing him his uniform.

"Thanks." It was exactly the same as what he usually wore except for the red lining, decorations, and rose cross. "It looks great."

"Oi Fire Freak. Hurry up!" Kanda yelled at him.

On the way to the Ark Kanda and Natsu argued even all the way to the train. Which Lavi didn't help very much. Nor did Timcampy or Link.

"Well all we can do now is go to the guild." Lucy said walking down the street.

"Aye, but Lucy what are you going to tell Erza? That the strongest team is not the strongest anymore?" Happy said flying beside her.

"I know that ya stupid cat!"

"Um what are you talking about? Who's Erza?" Allen asked walking behind them.

"You'll see." Lucy said as they entered the guild. Just then someone punched Allen in the face.

"Come on Natsu! Let's finish that battle...Who are you?" Gray asked. While everyone in the guild stop brawling and wonder who the kid was. And also where Natsu was.

"Well that's what I was gonna explain to everyone...if you hadn't punched me in the face." It was obvious that Allen was trying to hold back his anger.

Lucy lead Allen over to a table. "Start talking, pipsqueak." Erza said a little aggressive since only a few minutes ago someone had destroyed her precious strawberry cheesecake.

"It's Allen." Allen said a little scared but otherwise angry for everyone thinking he was short. "Allen Walker. What's yours?"

"Erza Scarlet." Allen thought she acted a little like Kanda. But somehow Erza seemed nicer.

"I'm Gray Fullbuster." The guy who had punched me said. Allen didn't like him at all.

"Gray clothes." A girl who was drinking a whole barrel said.

"When did that happen!" Everyone ignored it like it happened often.

"Oh Gray-sama!" Another girl with blue hair said with hearts in her eyes.

A little girl with pigtails walked up to me a little shy. She remained him of Lenalee. "I'm Wendy Marvel."

Beside her was a white cat. "Charle. Now tell us why your hear?"

After Lucy, Happy, and Allen told everyone what the situation was everyone agreed to make Allen a part of the Guild. And since Natsu had disappear he was invited to take Natsu's place temporary.

"Where do you want the mark to be placed, Allen-kun?" A woman named Mira-jane asked me holding something that looked like a stamp.

"Eh? A mark?"

"It's just the guild mark everyone has to have when they enter a guild." Lucy explained.

"Aye! And you can choose which color you want too." Happy exclaimed.

"I guess I'll like a sliver one on my right hand."

"Sure thing." She pushed the stamp down on my hand and magically the sliver fairy mark appeared.

"Oi Allen, Happy, Lucy! We're going on a mission!" Ezra said with a huge cart full of luggage. Allen didn't want to know why girls carried so much stuff.

"What's the job about?" Lucy asked.

"Well Natsu picked it so we didn't really plan on not having him here." Gray said as Lucy's eyes widen at the job request.

"Are you kidding me!" Lucy yelled. "We are going to defeat a couple of bandits and the price is 84,000 Jewels! This will enough to cover my rent for a year!" She said happily.

"But Lucy-san don't you have to share it with everyone?" Allen asked confused.

"But at least I'll have some money to pay the rent. Besides with this group we never really get money or anything anymore. With all this destroying towns and stuff." Lucy said suddenly depressed as the whole group walked or flew in Happy's case toward the station.

"If it's money you want I get for you...very easily." Allen said in 'Black Allen' mode.

"How?"

"Gambling." Allen said simply.

They all looked at him shocked. "But your only a kid." Gray said.

"I'm actually 16. And I'm only good at it is because I cheat and because my Master pushed all his debts on me..." Allen then started laughing a creepy laugh. "No one has beaten me ever."

Lucy wondered how bad Allen's past really was. "Um...that's great. But I would like to work for my own rent. But since your probably going to be staying with me until we find a place for you to stay. You'll be paying half the rent too." Lucy said to him as they entered the train station.

A/N: This is amazing excluding this author note this Chapter is 2, 200 words long. Though I'm not very proud of this chapter myself. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be and I forgot most of the things I wanted to be in this chapter. But I just really wanted to get this chapter out. Mostly because I've gotten a little of a writer's block. I've ideas for the next chapter but it's just writing it down is a little hard for me. Like I had forgotten that I was gonna put Link and Timcampy in here so I had to go back and write a little conversation of them showing up.

Overall I hoped you enjoyed it. I'm not very good at humor so if it's not that funny sorry. I chose that quote from my most favorite Anime/Manga. It's so hilarious because they just say the most randomness stuff, it also has a lot of fighting and blood in it. I also love that Rahzel's voice actor is the same one that voices Allen's voice and Alzeid's is Kanda's voice. It fits the show perfectly since they fight a lot too. I would recommend reading the Manga before watching the Anime though if you ever want to see it.

I got the Ghost Train idea from all the stories I've heard about ghosts. Really I've seen a ghost once even heard them talk once too. I mean I've lived in this haunted apartment for about 8 years now. But they don't do that much, they really only bother my Mom. Anyway I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, story alerted, fav. story, etc. Next Chapter 3: Ghost Trains and Misunderstandings. R&R.
