Chapter 16: Searching

'They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, "Search for Paradise." '

-Kiba,

Wolf's Rain.

"Two pieces of the 'Heart'." Lavi read out loud. "Wow, I've never thought something so important could be written here. What do you think, Old Panda?"

Everyone in the room looked over at the old Bookman. "I think we should mount a rescue mission right away. If the information is true, then if the 'Clown and Dragon' aren't together soon, time itself could possibly overwrite our memories."

"Overwrite our memories?" Erza asked.

"Meaning...all your past memories will be altered, if that happens even your personality could change, and you won't be the same person you were before."

"No..." Wendy became suddenly worried.

"Of course that is just a theory, but a very possible theory." Bookman stated, before everyone started talking amongst themselves.

"Allen-kun?" Allen turned to see a smiling Lenalee. "Are you okay?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

A arm suddenly wrapped around his shoulders surprising him. "Moyashi-chan~..."

"It's Allen." Came the quick reply.

Lavi just grinned. "Who's going on the rescue mission?"

All eyes were on him expectantly. "Well...to infiltrate the Noah's place is going to be hard. There will probably be a lot of akuma around and Noahs could pop up anywhere. I think taking the strongest and fittest to fight, would be best. So...Erza, Laxus, Gray...um...well we shouldn't take too many people...I think that should do it."

"Huh? What about me, Allen?" Lavi asked, looking hurt.

Allen sighed. "Lavi, you'll be working with Levy and Bookman on finding out more about this prophecy."

"Allen-kun, Why didn't you ask Kanda to go with you? Isn't he strong?" Lenalee asked curiously.

"No way am I going with BaKanda!" Allen yelled out, pointing to the long haired exorcist.

A tick mark appeared on Kanda's forehead. "Why did you say, Moyashi?" Kanda began to unsheathe Mugen.

"It's Allen!" Crown Clown appeared around Allen. Everyone watched, sweatdropping, as fire seem to erupt between them.

"Oi idiot apprentice..." Allen's glare was now directed to a not caring liquor welding Master. "Why don't all the ugly guys leave and all the beautiful women stay?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying!" Guildarts said, standing right to Cross.

"Guildarts!" All the fairy tail members yelled out, surprised at the appearance of one of their most powerful S class mages. But one member in particular yelled out in rage.

A barrel slammed into Guildarts, sending him into the ground. "Shut up, old man!" Guildarts sat up, rubbing his head, looking over at his daughter, Cana.

"Well we do need people who know the Noahs well enough." Lavi stated, ignoring General Cross's suggestion. A grin lit up his face. "I think Yuu-chan, Moyashi-chan, Erza, and Gray should go."

"Baka Usagi!" Two voices growled out.

"What's that?!" He put his hand up to his ear, then put it down. "Sorry guys, looks like the old Panda wants me. See ya later!" Lavi then left as fast as a rabbit.

Kanda and Allen were just about to chase after him if Lenalee didn't hold them back. Once the boys had calmed down, Lenalee had let them go. "You know, I think Lavi is right for once. Kanda, Allen-kun, Erza-san, Gray-san, and Laxus-san is going and there will be no complaints."

As the rescue members got in a group to discuss their plan, Lenalee ran off to see if she could help with some of the research.

Some time later...

"Okay, so this door should lead to the Noahs base." Allen stated. "...I think..."

"You think? Beansprout, is the door or not?" Kanda replied.

"It's Allen! And of course it is!"

The other three members watched them, remembering times of when Gray and Natsu always fought.

"Gray-sama! Don't leave me!" Juvia clinging onto Gray's leg, crying. "Take me with you!"

"This a dangerous mission, I can't take you with us."

In Juvia's Imagination

"Juvia, it's too dangerous for a fragile women such as yourself to go. But be strong for me. It hurts me too, just to leave you to go on such a dangerous mission. Please bear with it, till I return, my love." A sparkling Gray said.

Out of Juvia's Imagination

"Oh, Gray-sama. Yes! I will wait till you return!" Juvia said with hearts in her eyes.

Gray sweatdropped. "But, I didn't say anything like that..."

Kanda grimaced at the lecture Lenalee was throwing at him and Allen. "...You both are comrades...stop fighting at every little thing..."

Allen's thoughts began to stray at the middle of the lecture. '...I wonder if I'll be able to see Road...'

"Allen-kun!"

"Eh? Wh-What?!" Coming out of his thoughts, he found everyone to be staring at him.

Lenalee just sighed. "It's time, Allen-kun."

He nodded. "Right...Well you later, Lenalee." Giving her a last friendly 'see you soon' hug, Allen and the rescue team headed off to the Noahs base.

"You think they'll be alright?" Lenalee asked, with a worried expression.

A hand was placed on her shoulder to comfort her. "Of course they'll be fine, Lenalee. They will be back before you know it." Lavi grinned, making her feel more relaxed.

Some time later inside the Noah's base...

"Oi Moyashi, we've already been down this hallway." Kanda stated.

"It's Allen!" He snapped. "And I'm pretty sure we're going the right way."

Gray stopped and sighed. "I know it's fun going around circles all day but, this is going to get us nowhere."

"Gray is right. We should split up." Erza suggested.

"Well I'm not going with the Moyashi." Kanda distanced himself from Allen.

"Looks like for once we think alike, BaKanda."

Erza walked toward Allen. "Well then I'll be with Allen. Gray, you'll be with us too."

"Eh? Why-" A very demon-like aura coming from the redhead shut him up. "...Coming.." Gray walked towards the group.

"Well I guess that leaves us." Laxus stated joining Kanda.

Kanda started to walk off in the opposite direction. "Che, I rather work alone."

Laxus didn't say anything as they walked along the eerie corridors, where enemies could pop out at them.

"Something has been bothering me." Erza stated quietly.

The group stopped. "What is it, Erza-san?" Allen asked.

"Even though we are in enemy territory." She looked around, everyone following her gaze. "There has been no alerts, signals, not one sign of enemies, not even a feeling of someone watching your every move."

"Your right..." Gray looked down at Allen. "...Are you sure this is the right place?"

"I'm...positive. At least this is the place Neah had gone before." Allen muttered the last part making it hard to hear it.

"Neah? Who's that?" Erza asked curiously.

Allen then became nervous, like he was trying to hide something. "Um...N-Nothing..."

'I wonder why they haven't appeared yet? Wouldn't they try to turn me to their side, since they know I'm the '14th'? And usually by this time Road would clinging to me, asking me to 'play' with her...Road, I wonder how she is...'

"See ya later, Allen-kun~! I'll be looking forward to that date after everything is done."

Allen clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, feeling the pain in his heart and remembering how she had ...betrayed...and protected him.

"Allen..." A petite girl whispered, watching the group from the slightly open door.

Another figure watched her silently. "...Road, you know the plan was to capture the 14th in the first place, right?"

Road lowered her head, her slightly long purple hair covering her expression. "Yes, Tyki. I know. But...I just couldn't, he is too special to me."

Tyki sighed. "Nothing good will come from it. He is a exorcist and the 14th Noah, you the Noah of Dreams, it is forbidden."

"...I know...Tyki, but don't you think it's kinda of romantic?" She smiled sweetly up to her Uncle.

"The Earl won't like this, Road." Tyki warned.

But all she did was direct her gaze back to Allen. "...That never stopped 'us' in the past..." Road whispered under her breath, never letting Tyki hear the words, that lead her beating heart onto her fated path.

A/N: Hoped you enjoyed! I hope I hadn't lost my touch with writing the rest of this chapter. Sorry it took so long to complete it. I'm hoping to at least finish this by the start of summer vacation. But, I do have three important state tests coming up in...two weeks I think and final exams right after I have three days off of school...joy. And I'm not doing so well in Geometry right now... Well good news, who is excited for the anime of Karneval?! Well I am anyway...I love that manga! (Well got to have something to do while waiting for the next chapter of D. Gray Man...which hasn't come out in 3 months...)

P.S.

I have uploaded a lot of oneshots recently, go to my profile and check them out if you like

And here is one I just uploaded about two days ago-

Lavi's April Fools Day-

It all started as a misunderstanding and now April 1st aka. April Fools Day, was the most feared day in the Black Order. "Lenalee..." "Y-Yes...Allen-kun?" "Why are you holding something behind your back? And why is Lavi's door all nailed down with wooden planks?" "Silly, Allen-kun! Th-This isn't Lavi's door." How could Lavi fool her like that? Lavi x Lenalee

Yes I know another Lavi x Lenalee fic. I wasn't trying to write a paring fanfic and well...it just happened.
