A/N: I can't help writing this story! I got tired of waiting for DGM's next chapter! I was dying to read the next chapter! But, rumors said that the next update would be in April. Then I though… What if Allen works together with Neah? How will the Holy War be affected? The moment I thought that, a plot bunny was born. So the idea here is Allen siding with Neah creating another side of the war. So, enough of my ramblings. Pairing still undecided!

Warning: May have some TYPOS. I'm still a beginner so… please take it easy. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own DGM. Never in a thousand years

Chapter 1

(_+~0~+_)

After I left the Black Order, I was branded as a traitor; A Noah. With no home to return to, I resided in the ark. I closed all the ark gates in the Black Order, all except for a single locked door, hidden at Hevlaska's chamber that can only be accessed by me.

Currently, I was somewhere in England, resting inside an inn. I've got no choice but to take shelter there because of the pouring rain that fell down relentlessly; I was too tired to open a gate to the ark. The room was dark with the curtains drawn and the lights turned off. No light filtered through the dark thick curtains. I'm not scared of the darkness, in fact, I like it. Darkness gave me solace and peace from this cold, cold world. A perfect environment to think and relax. I laid my head on the bed and pulled the blankets over me.

'Sometimes, even without the light. There can still be warmth' I thought.

The night was peaceful; the only thing I can hear is the light taps of rain on the roof and window. I wish moments like this would last. Unfortunately, it didn't.

A wave of pain seared through my body and my head feels like somebody was cleaving it open. My breathing became ragged as I struggled to breathe; it felt like something was strangling me. Am I…? Am I turning to a Noah…? I coughed as I tried to touch my forehead; and when I did, I felt something wet and sticky. Blood…? Another wave pain shook my body, this time, much more painful and the next thing I knew, everything went black.

I woke up on a place where the 14th resides. I was chained on a white marble chair with the fourteenth sitting on the arm rest with a big grin.

"Ah… It's time, eh?" He said as he crossed his arms on his chest "It's faster than I thought"

Even in this realm, I could still feel the pain.

"So… what now?" I struggled to say, it's so hard to breathe "Y-You're… going to… take over… my body?"

"Hmm… Maybe" Neah brought his hand up and snapped his fingers. The moment he did that the pain and the strangling feeling faded away. That time, I gasped for air.

"I just momentarily delayed the transformation. I didn't stop it" He clasped his hands together "I'm here to strike up a deal, nephew."

I looked at him, shocked "What?" From all the things I expected to hear from him THAT was the last thing I expected.

"I said I want to make a deal with you." Neah sighed "I won't take over your body completely or erase every bit of you, only if you help me defeat the Earl."

I fell silent, should I agree?

"What is your decision?" He asked again, he looked up and closed his eyes

After the silence I finally broke it "Just answer a couple of questions, first" Neah turned his head and looked at me with his golden eyes

"Shoot."

"Did Mana ever love me?"

Neah smiled "He did. He always did. Not just because you are my host. Because you were like a son he will never have." He said his tone slow and gentle, as if he wanted me to remember each words "So, don't doubt him, okay?"

When I heard that, I felt relieved. At least, those doubts have been removed. Now, I know what the lies were and what the truth is.

"Next question!" he said with grin, when will he stop grinning?

"Why did you betray the Earl?" I said in a serious tone

"Oh, that" he rested his crossed his legs and rested his chin on his hands, conveying a pretty clear message; He was bored "I found out what the Earl was really planning."

"And, what's that?"

"He was intending to use us Noahs as a sacrificial lamb to bring, not the Flood, but The Apocalypse; The wrathful ending of the world. I won't let my family be used like that. Head or not, one must destroy the pest that threatens to destroy the pack. Even if it means to betray them." For an instance, I thought I saw sadness in his eyes only to hidden again.

I was looking at Neah intently. I was feeling sorry for him. He was not bad, he was only misunderstood.

"Anything else?"

I shook my head "None."

"So, what's your decision?"

I bowed my head and thought for a moment. We strive for the same goal. We both, are hiding from each side. Both wanting to oppose them. One was the Earl, to stop him for bringing the apocalypse. Second, the Black Order, to stop their devilish ways on trying to defeat the Earl by creating Bioweapons that caused each of them pain.

I looked up, it's decided then. "I will, Uncle. It's a deal, then."

Neah grinned "Great!" he cried happily "I won't take over your body completely nor erase you. You will still be Allen. But, for one condition, I will use your body if I desire to use it."

"Now, I will continue the transformation." He said "Only a little more and it'll be done."

I knew what was to come and I braced myself for the pain. "Ready?" I nodded and closed my eyes

I heard him snap his fingers and the pain continued. The chains that bound me slowly loosened. My body became weak and I fell forward, only to be caught by two firm yet gentle arms and be lifted up; one arm supporting my back, the other holding up my knees.*

"You have endured lots of pain, nephew, Ever since my brother passed away. Now it's my turn to take care of you. I will do my best to protect you from the harsh world. I will be like your father from now on." I heard him whisper. I smiled and a tear fell from my eye. Not from the pain but from happiness. I'm happy that someone alive actually cared for me.

*Means bridal style. It kinda sounded wrong if I wrote 'bridal style' so…. I just described it

A/N: Thanks for those who took their time read this! I appreciate it. But I will love it if you review. Flames are accepted as long as you'll be very gentle. Critiques are good. But normal one is great! I might probably updTED next week. If not, in summer. You see, I'm grounded. But, my parents are out so… I think you get the point.
