Disclaimer: I don't own anything in relation to Guilty Crown or anything else.
Hello Readers, this was me deciding to do a guilty crown fanfic after reading a couple fanfic on the site but a few stand out to me which were Guilty Melody by Mae Bleu, my favorite so far, The tale of Adam by kira31 which had an interesting AU and finally Take it, Shu by Td03 my predecessor who followed in Mae Bleu's footsteps but unfortunately hasn't continue his story at this time so best wishes to him.
Notes: I may or may not pull out things from different fanfics so all idea goes to their original authors
Quick Summary: what happens when Adam did not reject Eve but embraces her and his new role as king of coming New world, and what if Daath was not completely the same as it originally was…This is the Story of Shu Ouma, Adam and The White Guilty King.

'There's something I need to tell you about Mana…..' Ouma Shu was currently heading to the Church to meet up with his friend, Triton after he asked to meet him about something concern his sister
Now Ouma Shu was not by any means a normal kid, after all being born from Father that was an Expert scientist and a mother renowned for her accomplishments as a Medical student would logical make him a smart kid and yeah for a kid his age he was quite smarter than most, but unfortunately for him like his father, he isn't good at interacting with others, Hell when he first meet Triton his First and only friend, he was not sure what to do around him but after getting to know him Triton quickly became his friend. Anyway back to what is currently happening.
Shu was trying to figure out what Triton wanted to tell him about Mana because in the end he hated keeping things from Mana after all, she was his loving sister.
Shu was also trying to figure out what the hell is up with Mana's recent behavior, her personality has been getting odder and odder as things carry on which kind of make him nervous, like for example she had asked him to marry her.
On one hand, Shu loved his sister with all his heart and would be more than happy to marry her but on the other, he was well aware that sibling relationships were considered Taboo. And then she kissed him, he was at the time too shocked to do anything other than blush and stare at her confused as even he knows that kissing on the lips between sibling were not normal and even considered wrong in the views of sociality.
He quickly shakes himself out of his thoughts as he decided to try and figure things out later as he saw the church within his sight, he hoped that whatever triton had to say that it wouldn't take long after all Haruka had brought all of them including dad here to Tokyo so that they can spent their first Christmas together like one big family.
When he had reached the double doors, he had relieved that the doors were already open.
"I loved you, you know?" a voice within the church said as Shu widen his eyes
'Onee-san?' Shu thought as he heard a giggle
"Just kidding…"
As he enter the church, the first thing that caught him attention was Triton on the floor, in a pool of his own blood near a gun.
"Triton!" He shouted as he rushes to his best friend, disregarding his sister near by
"Triton! Hang in there! What happened!?" He went to his friend's side, as if hovering over him anxiously. The blond boy didn't respond as if he didn't hear Shu, Shu didn't know what to do in this situation, should he call his mom, ask mana to help or-
His thoughts were cut off as he hears his sister's voice.
"Shu…."
Mana was there behind him, smiling with her lips red with something that didn't seem like lipstick, smeared on her lip
She was calm, unnatural so for the situation as in her hands was a purple string twined in a shape of what looks like a double helix, she then move forwards to Shu as she offers him the 'Cat's Cradle' to him with a look of excitement.
Take this, Shu…let's use our genes to make a new world, Shu….a better one, for me and you." Mana said so causally as Shu was taken aback as his brain tried to rationalize the situation to avail
Mana saw his startled look as she scoots closer, her voice soft, comforting and innocent
"It's okay don't be scared, Shu….Let's have fun together…Shu…" Mana said with a smile as Shu quickly realizing that he could feel an almost sinister feeling from his sister and that the blood flowing from his best friend was the same on her lip
"Mana-neesan! What happened to Triton?!" Shu said as triton started coughing, Shu is distraught as he doesn't know what to do, that was until it all clicked
Something is extremely wrong with his sister, Shu then turns to face Mana once more with fear setting in as he started to see something crystalline and purple seem to able around here before shattering…what was she, some kind of monster ?
No, no matter what she becomes or what she does, Mana Ouma is still his beloved sister…but she was definitely acting strange….there something wrong with his sister.
Shu stand up and face his sister with what courage he has as he attempts to hide the nervousness in his voice.
"Sis what's wrong with you!? What's happening to you!?" He shout as Mana looks confused before replying
"What are you telling about, Shu? I'm perfectly fine." She spoke with a smile as she leans forward toward Shu, their lips just barely an inch away but Shu places his hands on her shoulders and tries to push her away to get more space, granted he didn't mean to push her that hard but to him it was a spur of the moment kind of thing
"Onee-san! You're not fine! You're acting really strange, it's scaring me!" Shu shouted looking down having just raised his voice against his sister for the first time in his life as he looks up to see a blank slightly surprised look on his sister's face as Shu grows increasingly more worried by the second as she started to blink slowly
"Shu….you're scared of me?" she spoke softly, hurt in her voice as Shu started to sweat, he wasn't sure what to do as he never been in this kind of situation before, he had maybe seen something like this on those TV dramas that Haruka and his sister liked to watch but compere to real life? Nothing is so simply and there is rarely a happy ever after
"Shu….I'm sorry…..I'm so sorry…." Shu widen his eyes as Mana, the sister he adores is apologizing to him in tears while hugging herself as she hangs her head and continues the mantra of apologizes
Mana then slowly but surely looks at herself in fear as if only now realizing what she had done as the crystals started to form around her as if trying to consume her.
Shu deciding there was nothing still to do to comfort his sister, he started to walk towards her.
"Onee-san…it's okay…." He said trying to fight off the instinctive reaction to move away from his sister
"No it's not Shu….I'm scared…..I'm becoming a monster….stay back!" Mana said trying her best to move away from her brother that was still moving towards her even though he could feel the danger from the crystals
"….M-Mana-neesan….It's alrig-" Shu tried to say out as Mana shouts in response
"STAY AWAY!" as if in responds the crystal around her and the area started to darken causing the beautiful purple to turn to icy cool dark blue
Shu felt weird as he could feel a weird, burning sensation around his chest region as he looks down, but what was…causing the sensation was something he couldn't comprehend.
There was quite a large crystal in the shape of spear lounged into the middle of his chest as his blood was slowly sipping out as he could feel his body getting heavier and heavier by the second as Mana and Triton widen their eyes.
"…..W-W-What have I done…..N-No….Shu….NOOOO!" Mana screamed as a blinding light glowed from her chest as if resonating while a massive shockwave shook the building, Triton tried to shield his eyes as it became too bright for him to see anything while Shu….he just stared at the Light as if in a trance as he could hear voices, of who? He did not know
"…..It seems we have found the prefect Adam and Eve…"
"…..Will they be the one to finally complete our tasks…"
"…..Or Will he fail like all the others…."
"….only time will tell…."
"….inform the Black king, he will know what to do…."
"….After all….like the others, he is merely a chosen pawn commanding other lesser pawns…."
"….a pawn with purpose…."
"…..Now let us see how this era's Adam and Eve acts…."
"….this will be most interesting…."
"…Let the fourth apocalypse commence…."
The next moment, Shu slowly realized that he could move again and that the crystal spear in his chest was no longer there while the entire building was on fire.
Mana, his beloved sister…His Eve, was standing there among the flames petrified at what she has done as tears kept on flowing.
Triton was as well petrified unable to do anything to stop this unforeseen able chain of events.
Unbeknown to the two Shu started walking towards his sister as if it was instinct governing him to do so.
"What have I done…what hand I done….God…..Shu I'm so sorry….please forgive me…" Mana whisper softly continuing to tears with closed eyes as the cancer spread all over her body almost complete covering her in crystals
"It's okay…Mana…." Shu whispered to her as he hugs her tightly never letting go as Mana widen her eyes before she hugs him back lovingly
"…Shu…I'm scared….Help me…." Mana spoke weakly as drops to her knees as Shu supports her, completely ignoring the crystal as if they weren't even there
"It's alright Mana….I'm here for you…I'll always be here for you…and besides I'm scared too." Shu said squeezing her tightly as he could feel a sensation in him as, like Mana crystal started to form around them
Shu didn't quite know what had happened but he knew that whatever was in his sister, the power had finally had enough as bright light glowed so bright that it was as if the world could see it in the sky.
He hear his sister screaming in pain as he should have done too but he had to stay strong if not for anyone else, for her as she turned to look at her…the one who he cared for most…the one who he loved with all his heart…..the one who fulfill the role with him….
He stared into her eyes once more as he could hear her crying.
"Shu….Forgive me…." She mutter as Shu smile warmly as he proceed to cup her cheek, and proceed to kiss her like she did to her
"It's alright Mana….I love you." Her face filled with torment, give her a warmly smile as if nothing had happened as her body crystallized complete before his eyes
"I love you too, Shu." She replied still holding his hand as the crystal covers her completely
After that it was as if the world shattered, together with his queen.

Triton grunts as he pushes the chucks of what looks like a support column off him, his stomach was throbbing in pain while he wrapped his arm his still bleeding wound as he tries to stem the blood flow.
In his mind, he could only think about what he had done in the end all of this was him fault after all, he had did this and now he didn't even know if the two people who even given a damn about him were still alive.
He shivered at what had transpire in the church, Mana changing, the crystals, her expression and Shu's worry, the bravery he showed to even help his insane sister and bear the pain with her, hell he even had a spear through his chest for god sakes!
Could he have done that? He wanted to definitely but could he?
He looked out at the now destroyed and still burning church, the city in the distance looks like it isn't much better as he could hear screaming and sirens in the distance as if this was judgement day itself.
It was then while he was thinking, he saw the figure of his best friend still standing at where he was earlier as broken crystals were scattered around him.
"Shu!" Triton shouted as he rushed to his side while Shu turn to look at him as he was horrified as he had gotten a closer look at his friend, he was completely covered in the cancer with only his face still clean but was slowly being consumed by the crystals
Shu's eyes were almost lifeless as he looked at Triton, he slowly raises his crystals hand as he spoke.
"Triton….Here….it's from both of us….Take it Tri…ton" Shu said slowly as Triton takes the gift as he unknowingly start crying as he open his last gift from the two siblings, it was a simple silver cross with small silver chains
"You know Triton….you're our first friend you know?….for but me and Mana…" Shu said as his hand started to crack
"N-No please Shu….don't go…..I-" Triton said gripping his gift tightly as Shu just smiles as he continues
"You're like a brother to us you know…..we love you so much…..and we'll never forget you….alright…"
"Shu! You're not going to die, okay! Please I can't lose you too!" Triton shouted to no avail as Shu's hand started to disintegrate with the rest of his body
"Don't cry…Triton…You're not weak….you're kind, so please don't ever lose that kindness, okay triton?" Shu said as Triton unwillingly harden his resolve
"Yes…I'll get stronger for both you and Mana!" He wouldn't be weak anymore, he had to strong so that he won't lose anyone precious to him anymore
"Promise..?" Shu ask with a shaky voice as the crystal start to cover his face leaving only his right eye
"I Promise!" Triton shouted as Shu smiles as the crystal start to cover him completely
"Goodbye, Shu…." Triton said trembling as Shu, even though faint manages to say his Farwell
"See you around, Triton."
It was then the crystal along with Ouma Shu, like Ouma Mana shattered leaving behind a broken Triton as he screams in frustration as he let the floodgates of tears go, in the end all of this, all of this destruction, death was all his fault and he knew.
But he had made a promise to them that he would get stronger and he had made a promise to himself that when he does he will made the people responsible pay for taking away everything from him.
That day, Triton harden his heart as he wear his gift with pride as he leaves everything he has come to know behind.

"Ah….what a perfect day for the fourth apocalypse….wouldn't you agree Yuu?" A tall figure with complete black body suit said to a blonde boy next to him as they stare into the chaos that was this era's apocalypse
"…Of course my Lord….it would seem both Adam and Eve has been absorbed by the cancer…tsk….this may set our plans back a few years…" Yuu said displeased at the outcome
"…It's of no matter to us Yuu be it a day, a month, a year or be it several thousand millennium….after all it has been Da'ath's mission for so long….what's a few years to us." The tall figure as he turn to the people behind him
"So….Kurosu Ouma, Haruka Ouma….what are your answers?" the figure said to the two parent with an unconscious Shuichiro Keido beside them with a couple of what looks like soldiers bearing the mark of Da'ath, which resembles a spear with thorns around it
"….What choice do we really have now?...both of my children are gone…taken by the virus…" Kurosu said as he tighten his fist, first his best friend tried to kill him only to be saved by the Leader of Da'ath himself and now his children are gone with just about everyone else caught in radius of the virus
"…It's very simply Kurosu Ouma…..you're children aren't gone per say…they merely need to be brought back…." The figure now identify as the Leader of the mysterious organization known as Da'ath spoke as he extend his hand
"….Please Mr. Ouma join us….and help us bring back your children…for the sake of everyone has died today…." The Leader said with a commanding voice fitting for being the leader of Da'ath
Kurosu closes his eyes in anger before he signs
"So be it then…" Kurosu said stubbornly as he shakes hands with the imposing figure
"Excellent…Yuu take our new guest to research labs so that they can begin the revival of Adam and Eve." The man said as Yuu as well as the soldier bow respectively to him
"Of Course my Lord." Yuu said as he and the others started to leave the area
"Hmm….i wonders if this time will be different or is fate really so hell-bent on making sure the evolution never starts…" the Man said solemnly as he signs
"…ah…Guinevere…it wouldn't be long now….soon I'll see you again…and this heavy burden will finally be lifted from my shoulders…." The man mutter softly as he looks to the skies
"I wonder will you Ouma Shu finally accomplish what we had failed….will you become the True king…hmph only time will see then…" The Man said as he turns over dramatically as he cape flaps in the wind as Black Crystal wings emerge from his back as he takes flight
"…Fufufu….Now….let evolution begin."
