AN: We find out who Allen's mother is and how he came to be!
Chapter 8
Wisely couldn't deny that he respected Allen since he came back, but it was obvious that Allen had some inner mentality issues involving his inner Noah. She wanted to take control for a bit, in order to stretch her legs so to say. 'Have I done anything to make you not trust me?' she asked. 'You let Crown Clown take control and look at what she's done.' why was she saying this now with three days left?
"She has a point, not to mention Crown Clown is kind of, very much insane." Wisely stated. "Letting out your inner Noah isn't something the rest of us can do without being consumed by it." Being unique wasn't helping at all. "We don't even know her name yet."
"You never did tell me, your name." Allen stated. "What is it?"
'Give me control and I'll tell you; along with what happened to your parents.' This grabbed Allen's attention even more. 'I told you that I've been with you since the day of your birth, but I was with you longer than that.' Allen looked to Wisely who shrugged.
"She isn't lying, I would know if she was." The white haired Noah said.
'Please, Allen, I know you still want to know the truth.' He wouldn't deny that he still wanted to know who his parents were and why they abandoned him. Standing up, he stepped away from Wisely.
"I—I give you control." Dark Matter violently flowed from his body and began to take a familiar form behind him. "It's a mouth isn't it?"
"This one has sharper teeth." He stated, he noticed something else. "And a…eye." Allen groaned just as the mouth chomped down on him and then swallowed him whole. The transformation was similar to Crown Clown's own, but without as much violet twitching. As it finally took full form, Wisely saw that he was right on the money; Allen's inner Noah was a woman. The woman wore a skin-tight red gown with a plunging neckline that exposes her neck, chest, stomach and abdomen, and only partially obscures her breasts. A black collar extends down the neckline to her waist; the collar rests over her shoulders and covers the junction of her black feathered wings. Her skin is tattooed with lined patterns. She wears a gold necklace, earrings and hair jewelry among a headdress designed to pull her hair up to resemble horns; silver bangs are left to frame her face. Her eyes are yellow surrounded by purple eye shadow and she wears deep red lipstick. She has no eyebrows, instead having tattoos. She doesn't wear shoes, walking or what looked to be flying barefoot, and she has a human appearance, her toenails resemble a beast's claws. There was however something Wisely noticed, her left pupil was shaped like a stigmata that all Noah had. "Well, you're very" he couldn't help but blush a little bit. "interesting to look at." He was losing his composure, Crown Clown was very attractive and he wouldn't deny that, but this woman was more than beautiful.
"Finally." She stretched her body a bit. Wisely may not seem like it, but he still had a certain weakness when it came to women; then there was the fact that she wore no bra. The Noah of Wisdom hated how much restraint he was dealing with. "Now, as I promised, I'll give you two my name." she smiled sweetly. "My name is Ultimecia." The now revealed to be Ultimecia stated. "I have no official representation in your family, but if I had to guess I would be the Noah of Time." She picked up a cup. "My individual Noah power is based on my dark matter abilities, but…" she threw the plate into the wall; the second it broke against the wall she casted a spell. "Stop." The pieces of the plate instantly froze in the air. "When I had my own body, my specialty was time-space magic, Allen I believe that your master told you about such magic."
'Yeah but we hadn't covered it yet, we were supposed to but then I came here—how do you know about this specifically?' he questioned.
"My magic comes from the same place of your birth."
'The magic I use isn't from this world, it—'
"Your home, is where you originally came from." Wisely said. "It would explain why you felt so at home there." Allen didn't know if Wisely was trying to be funny or not.
"That's right, I gave birth to you there but there were some…complications and you ended up here in this world." she stated, but nobody said anything so she continued to speak. "It would seem that when you ended up here, you were…gifted with innocence, but I ended up losing my physical body."
"That doesn't explain why you're inside Allen as his…inner Noah; I'm more disturbed about the fact that you aren't lying." Wisely said.
"Well before I 'died', I simply transferred my consciousness in to my son and became his inner Noah when he came back here; I've watched but I could never communicate until now." She explained.
'Who's father?' Allen asked
"You don't have one." Ultimecia stated. "I made you using what little magic I had left after a little fight I had with some rather unsavory people, you were supposed to become my heir of sorts and carry on my legacy, but as you can see that didn't happen; to be honest I'm happy that it didn't go the way I planned." She explained. "Out of everything sending us both into the future was the most difficult part, turns out being pregnant and using extremely complex time magic is much harder than it sounds." Allen was silent while Wisely did his best to try and understand what was going on.
"Question."
"Yes?"
"From your world or this one?"
"From mine and the spell worked, but it sent me to both world's futures; but we ended up in this world first."
"So were you the reason the Ark malfunctioned?"
"That's right, I was only awake for a few minutes but I did what I could and sent my son to where he belongs…yet he comes back here for closure and then look what happens." She was now obviously upset. "I insisted on us going home, but you allowed this whole thing to escalate up to this." she sat down, she'd been standing this entire time. "Fighting in self-defense is something I can understand, sex with a girl who was once your enemy is more odd than anything, allowing Crown Clown to wipe out an entire city is more than irresponsible, taking that girl's virginity…well that's kind of my fault I did tell you to go with a more peaceful route, and while I'm pleased that Neah is finally dead; we have to see this through now and kill the Heart." She held the bridge of her nose. "Crown Clown is getting exactly what she wants, but at least now you know why I'm obsessed with your safety and happiness."
'It's the only way you can show your love as a mother…I guess that I can understand.'
"You can?" Ultimecia and Wisely asked in unison.
'There are a six young adults back home who can say that they were raised by me; before time stopped for my world of course.' This was true, he wasn't a fan of seeing a kid growing up without a parent or anyone to take care of them; now five of them were in the same position as everyone else. The sixth was the one he couldn't save during the war. 'Any parent would do anything to protect and keep their children, I did everything I could for them.' on the inside he was crying, but it was showing on his mother's face as tears streamed down her face. He gave out a small chuckle. 'Tell Sheril that when he's raised that many kids then he'll have my respect as a fellow parent.' It was actually pretty funny considering the fact that Road was older than her adopted father. 'But there's something else you want to say isn't there?' his mother frowned. 'It's really bad?' she nodded 'yes'. 'What is it?'
"When I made you, I purposely left out a certain feature." She stated, they didn't like where this was going. "I gave you male parts but I left out your ability to reproduce, in other words, I made you sterile on purpose." Wisely had seen and heard some bad stuff in his life, and while everything that's happened since Allen came back was hard to wrap his head around; this was what counted as one of the worst things. Forget Crown Clown's murderous nature, this what he just heard was the worst thing for Allen to find out; from his own mother no less.
'Why? Why would you do that to me?!' Allen exclaimed as he didn't truly understand why Ultimecia purposely left out his ability to have children the normal way. Sure children weren't being born back home, but if they were then it wouldn't matter to him; he couldn't impregnate a woman anyway.
"Wait, Road said that you—"
"Please don't say while I'm listening." Ultimecia said with a look of disgust. "I really don't want you to finish that sentence, but yes, neither Road nor that exorcist girl have to worry about the possibility of being pregnant."
'You made sure of that, I'm going to sleep.'
"Allen please don't act like this!" all she received was silence.
"He'll come around, it's not like he can hold a grudge forever."
"He held one for a hundred years before finally forgiving the person who he was angry at." She stated with a sad sigh. "I replaced his ability to reproduce with an everlasting and very advanced time spell that activated when he was seventeen; it would stop time on his body."
"You made him immortal."
"That's right, but looks like immortality is just something that everyone has these days so now it looks like what I did was extremely cruel; had I known that he would become a Noah beforehand the I would've just…damnit!" the plate fell to the floor at long last. "But this is what I get for trying to become 'a living god', I suffer by gaining the hate of my only child." by all means she'd been the villain at one point, and now she was paying the price for her many sins. Wisely wasn't used to a situation like this and he ever imagined that he would ever be in one, not to mention he couldn't read her mind so he couldn't tell what she was thinking; in short he was socially awkward right now.
Germany
With his apprentice gone, Bookman was forced to record all of this history on his own. All of those deaths, it was getting worse by the day and when word of Allen being found, what remained of them had been happy to hear it but he was still a traitor and killed some of their own. "Could it be possible that he had something to do with the destruction of the Vatican City?" it was possible as it happened days after he was found. The old man could feel it in his gut and he could see it on the faces on the innocence wielders, it was coming fast. The end of the war, and probably the world if the Earl won. "Recording this will be pointless if we all die, but even so, I must do so just in case." He looked to those he'd been traveling with; they weren't in good shape after a recent Akuma attack. The only one who could really fight was Kanda, and he was getting weak after every battle; they all were. Lenalee was MIA and her brother was dead so that hit the European Branch hard. Putting down his scroll, he closed his eyes.
Kanda sat down, his wounds were healing but he couldn't hold on much longer; his usual demeanor was being crushed every day and with every fight. The toll was hitting him hard and he didn't know how much he could take it. They were getting crushed with every fight and every loss. Dropping mugen onto the floor, he held his face. "We lost three more today." He stated. "How is it all falling apart so fast?" Allen disappeared and then the Fourteenth came in and killed a few Noah, along with a bunch of them. At this point, he just wanted this whole thing to end, but something in his gut told him that it was going to end soon; but not in the way they wanted.
Two Days Later – Italy – Inn
A knife stabbed into the globe, Crown Clown and the Earl smiled. "There it is, that's where the Heart is." Crown Clown stated. "It moved itself for the final battle, it knows that we know where it is." The Heart knew how this is all going to end. "It's going to put up a fight, but it won't be enough, with some cover, you and Allen can get in and end It." she said. "Where the Vatican once stood, to go there and likely expect to win; it'll be a shame when Allen leaves we won't see each other again, I rather enjoy your company you're a good friend."
"Why thank you! Never in my life did I think that I'd hear that from innocence, ahh, things have been so interesting since Allen came back; so much progress and revenge for our fallen brethren." He leaned back into his chair. "When Allen goes home, what will he do?"
"Well, he is a part-timer at the Academy, and he guards the city from monster attacks so he'll simply go into his normal routine, like he's been doing for years, but after this, he'll likely be trying a bunch of new stuff; when you're immortal you've got to find something to occupy yourself." She leaned back in her chair. "In the, the chaos will swallow this world and I will laugh." The Earl couldn't deny that she was scary and much more evil; with a simple purpose granted but she wiped out an entire city without hesitation or even giving a damn; Crown Clown truly was a scary woman.
