"I...can't...do this..." I whined slinking off the boat and lying on the ground. For now, we're just restocking on food and other supplies, but I really needed to stand on solid ground.
"Hurry up!" I heard one of Anita's men yell at Al, Lavi, and Krory so I decided to go cheer the poor slaves up
"I can't believe this. They're treating us like slaves." Lavi cried
"Yeah..." Al agreed
"You poor slaves." I snickered
"Allen, can I see your arm for a second?" Lenalee asked, but never bothering for a reply when she pulled up his sleeve to reveal his arm
"Your arms flaking!" Lavi yelled
"Yeah, well we've been fighting a lot of akuma lately, so it must've gotten tired." Al said scratching the back of his head with it
"I've never heard of an anti-akuma weapon getting tired." Lavi said
"Well, maybe it's because it's a parasitic type?" Al laughed nervously
"You're grasping at straws now!" Lavi said
"Certainly, that eye of yours forces you to fight twice as much as any of us. The same goes for your sister. I wouldn't be surprised if her neck started flaking too." Bookman said trying to look under my scarf
"I've been thinking... Your arm's fragile, isn't it, Allen?" Lenalee asked starting to get a pained look on her face
"Allen made her cry!" Lavi yelled
"Yeah, he did." Bookman agreed
"Yes, it's his fault." Krory said
"You're so mean, Al." I teased
"No I'm not! I didn't do anything!" Al yelled right before the boat started to move again
"No! I'm not ready yet!" I cried before being pinned down to the deck of the ship by a bunch of akuma's screams
"What's the matter with you?" Lavi mouthed, but I couldn't hear him and just cringed
"A...ku...ma" I mouthed and watched him turn to look at the front of the boat and activate his innocence with everyone else as well as myself. They were all ready to fight, but the akuma just flew right past us making the noise louder the closer they got. I screamed to the top of my lungs in pain hoping that I could at least do something. The more I screamed, the more I got the feeling in my throat from when we were fighting Lulu-Bell until finally spikes came flying out of my mouth like homing missiles. Even with the missiles an akuma picked me up from the deck of the ship and flew off with me kicking and screaming next to one holding Al.
"Put me down!" I screamed blowing the akuma up and falling to the ground far below and falling into a bush
"Ali!" Al mouthed leaning over me
"I'm...o...kay" I mouthed sitting up before being picked up by another akuma with Al
'I can't keep doing this...Too much blood...' I thought to myself as my eyes fluttered before once again getting thrown by the akuma almost falling over a cliff, but getting grabbed by Al who was grabbed by Lenalee
"What's that?" Al mouthed, so I followed his gaze over to what looked like a ghost white giant with a halo in place of his head and a patched hole where his heart would be with no arms or legs
"What is that thing...?" I mouthed before Lenalee brought us to the ground
'I've seen it before, but where...? It's...It's a fallen one!' I screamed internally remembering when grandpa had taught me about it when I was little.
~Flashback~
"Ali. You have a gift. Your innocence has not yet awakened, but it is a pure gift given to people it sees as befitting. You mustn't upset it by making a wrong choice. The second it deems you unworthy, you will become a Fallen One." Grandpa warned a young Ali
"A Fallen One? What's that grandpa?" I asked with a slight tilt of my head, not quite understanding his serious tone
"A Fallen One is what results when an accommodator betrays his/her innocence's will. It's a monstrous form of what is left of the accommodator with their innocence. If they aren't separated from their innocence, they'll die within 24 hours. If they are, they're no longer living as themselves, but as an empty shell." Grandpa explained
"Am I gonna become a Fallen One?" I sniffled
"Of course not. You're a good girl, but remember. If you see one of your friends as a Fallen One, run. Once someone becomes a Fallen One, they aren't who they were before. They will kill you." Grandpa warned
"Okay." I nodded slowly
~End of Flashback~
'He'll kill us...' I gasped before tugging on Lenalee and Al's sleeves in an attempt to get their attention
"What is it?" Al said
"We...have...to...get...out...of...here." I mouthed pulling harder on them
