Mother's dark love
Allen and Female Mana

xxxxxxxxxxxx
Floating through the space that seemed to stretch on and on, is where a soul well loved by Allen went with other spirits that were ready to spend paradise or enter damnation. To some it's purgatory to others it's the void, but for Mana Walker, it was darkness incarnate. As with all spirits that are stuck here, ever day is the same as they died, so as to purify their souls for the next stage of existence. But on this day, everything was about to change...forever.
"Damn it! This place is never ending!" The spirit yelled in frustration. He crossed his arms while looking all around at the same scenario, unaware of the dark portal opening up below him before a hand reached out and grabbed the back of his clothes.
"Found you Mana Walker!" The voice said as the hand dragged him through the portal as it closed behind him.
-The Ark-
The portal reopened in a factory like room covered in black skeletons with upside down pentagrams on the foreheads as Mana fell right onto a conveyer belt. He rubbed his head before chains came out and wrapped around him, managing to touch his translucent form.
"Get off me!" He yelled tugging the chains before a large hammer hit his head. "Aaa...pretty stars…"
"Easy now Mana, this is a great celebration!" chimed in a familiar voice as the Millennium Earl walked over with his ever present smiled.
"No! Not you!" He paled before getting smacked by another hammer, on the legs. "AAAHHH!"
"Now now, smile! It was tricky finding your spirit, but now that you're here, I think Allen will be happy to see you again. Who knows, this time you two can bond while you're killing him this time." he chuckled.
"Y-You sick fuAAAGH!" Mana yelled before feeling his arms breaking apart from some hook like chains.
"Try to relax, this new method is more painful on the soul, but it's faster to make new Akuma. Hope you like your new body~" he sang tipping his hat as the conveyer belt started moving.
Mana panicked as the belt started moving towards a demonic mouth with fire coming out of it. "When I get out of this-"
"Oh you won't, in fact, I might even make sure to bring you back more and more just to see how much Allen can take before breaking." chuckled the earl.
Mana was about to yell in anger before getting pushed into the machine where he screamed in pain and fear, mostly pain. He felt his body get sucked into another black skeleton with terrible force as his soul found itself trapped inside it.
"Happy birthday Mana or should I say," he grinned like a demon. "Maria."
The large machine poured out steam before a loud wail could be heard as the skeleton started evolving with large amounts of dark matter begin forcefully poured into it. As it inserted dark matter into the physical body, the mind was slowly corroding and reassembling itself, with curious results that no one would have anticipated.
"...a...all...Allen…." The form said as it moved the new body. The Akuma's feet touched down on the ground and staggered as the Earl watched on with glee. Well only for the new Akuma to run at fast speeds at the Earl and bite his hand so tight it drawed blood. "Not...Allen...must...kill…"
The Earl laughed before kicking the Akuma back and shook his hand. "Good! Now it's time for a family reunion~!"
The Akuma growled before looking at the Earl with anticipation. "Allen…"
"Oh you'll get to meet Allen again, very soon." laughed the Earl with a dark glint.
-With Allen and Lenalee-
"Allen?" Lenalee asked while walking through town. "What do you think is the cause of this phenomenon?"
"Well it doesn't seem like something the earl would do, so it might be the Innocence. We just need to find it before any Akuma can and see if it changes everything."
"Even your stomach?" She teased lightly.
"Funny." he sweatdropped before stopping as his left eye started tingling.
"Allen?" Lenalee asked before an explosion occurred in a nearby building. "Akuma?!"
"Yeah, but I can see only one." he spoke as his eye honed in on the source while noticing it seemed different than others.
"...Allen….Walker…." A voice said from the building.
"It knows me." he spoke in surprise as he saw the Akuma move closer to the road and they both were looking at a tall bipedal figure in medieval looking armor that was standing around 8 feet. It was also wearing lipstick and was more feminine than other Akuma's. Both its hands looked like his own Innocence, but was black and had pentagrams in the center.
"That's an Akuma? It looks different than the others." spoke Lenalee as her boots let out a green stream as a show of her Innocence activating.
The figure looked at her. "...not...Allen...must kill…" It then ran at them.
Lenalee jumped out of the way while Allen's own Innocence activated and he tried swinging his claw at it from the side.
Only to get caught by one of its claws. "...Allen...you….DID THIS TO ME!" It yelled before creating a black matter cross and sent it at him.
His eyes widened and groaned as the attack pushed him and made him crashing in the side of a building.
"I CURSE YOU!" It yelled as Allen's eye started shaking, like it knew this Akuma. "I CURSE YOU!"
"No...it can't be…." he muttered before Lenalee jumped and slammed her foot against the Akuma's face.
"Allen! Snap out of it." She called before the Akuma started to break her leg.
"ALLEN I CURSE YOU FOR MAKING ME THE EARL'S SLAVE!" It yelled as Lenalee's bones cracked.
"AHHH!" cried Lenalee in pain before the Akuma dropped her on the ground and started walking towards Allen in the building.
"...Allen…" It said while its arms turned into cannons and aimed them at Allen. "I love you…"
Allen went a placed his right arm over his face waiting for the bullets, which never came. "What?" he looked up at the Akuma who had moved the cannons away and twitched before its arms returned to the claws and it gripped it shead.
'No! Allen…..is not at fault! Can't….hurt….him!' cried the spirit inside as it tried moving the body away from their son.
'You must! It is your duty to the Earl!' The demon self spoke as it wrestled for control.
'No…..must…..gain control…..must...protect….my…...SON!'
"What the?" Allen said as the pentagram on its head faded and was replaced with a cross.
"ALLEN!" it cried out while roaring into the room before stumbling back out of the building before falling to the ground while gripping and clawing at the ground.
Allen ran out to see what's happening and looked at confusion at the Akuma as it looked like it was fighting the Earl's control. He saw the spirit inside it squirming from its binds and started seeing the binds break away, but the soul seemed to slowly spread out into the machine.
"ALLEN!" The Akuma yelled as it started to change from a black rusty red to a light red and white color with the pentagrams disappearing and changing into gold crosses. The Akuma stopped squirming and started getting up. "...son?"
"M...M...Mana?" he spoke with hope as he hesitantly walked closer.
"Son." The Akuma cried as it came closer to Allen and hugged him. "I missed you."
He was stunned and slowly began to bring his arms up before noticing Lenalee. "Lenalee! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." She sarcastically said. "My legs are always broken and in pain."
Before Allen could hug the Akuma, he ran over to check on Lenalee as the machine watched through the helmet.
"Allen...did I...do that?" The machine asked in horror.
The white haired teen didn't want to say the truth, but just nodded once before he pulled out some gauze and let Lenalee pull her pants leg up before he started to carefully wrap up the broke parr.
"Allen...who is that soul?" Lenalee asked with a little fear while hissing at the pain, but bit her lip to keep from crying out.
"That." Allen said somberly. "Is my father."
The girl's eyes widened and looked at the Akuma who seemed to look away at the ground with shame.
"What have I done?" The Akuma said while looking at its claws. "I….I just harmed another human…"
"Allen, even if that's your father, it's not possible for the soul to have any other influence besides powering the body. Are you sure he's in control?" asked Lenalee.
"Lenalee, I saw his soul break free and started occupying the body, if that's not proof, then look at him. His form is now changed." Allen frowned while pointing to his father.
"Well Allen." Mana said. "The Earl destroyed some of my soul and remade it...into a woman's."
"Wait, what?" spoke both teens in confusion.
"I'm a woman. And the names Maria now." she walked over and crouched down next to Lenalee. "I apologize for what I've done. I'd rather stay in purgatory for eternity than harm anyone like this."
"It's fine. But purgatory? Weren't you supposed to enter heaven?" Lenalee asked confused.
"As it turns out, after Allen freed me from the first body, I entered that endless void with countless others. I don't know if I was condemned to stay there for cursing my son, or it wasn't my time yet, but the Earl took the chance to take me from it and forced me into this hunk of dark matter." she frowned.
Allen looked confused. "But how is it you're so different from the other Akuma?"
"Apparently, this body is the first of level three Akuma. And believe me, when he made me fight several level two's, I didn't get a scratch. Meaning they can keep evolving to the point not even a group of exorcists could stop one."
Both looked shocked at the information.
"But how did you get out of purgatory? It's another realm." Lenalee asked a little spooked.
"That bastard took me from the void, but brought me to some dark factory filled with more skeletons. I was put into a machine that pushed me into this body. So it wasn't me that managed to leave, but that fat son of a bitch managed to pull me out of there like it was no big deal."
Allen frowned before hugging Maria. "The good thing is that you're back and...semi safe."
"No, I won't be staying long. Allen, I want you to destroy me and this cursed body."
"W-WHAT!" Allen yelled. "But your back! I can't do it, not again!"
"Look at me Allen! I've hurt your friend, I nearly killed you, I gave you that damn curse! I'm nothing but a walking monster! I could hurt someone else, or worse."
"Yet I saved more with this eye then without it, Lenalee is ok and still alive, and you're not a monster! You're my father...I mean mother, and I don't want to hurt you, not ever again!" Allen said while hugging tighter.
Maria hesitantly hugged her son and started relaxing while both her and Lenalee heard the teen sob a little.
"Allen." Lenalee said with tears from the pain and from the heart warming scene started pouring down. "I wish...my mother was also here too."
"I might not know you very well, but I do remember seeing someone in purgatory with your hair color and similar face." spoke Maria.
"R-Really?" She said with hope. "Please tell me!"
"I didn't catch her name, but when we passed each other, I saw her praying and muttering to herself about how she wished her children were alright. She mentioned a boy and a girl, but all I got regarding names was for the boy who was called Komui."
"Brother…" She grumbled. "Always the favorite…"
Both sweatdropped at Lenalee's jealousy.
"I might not have heard the girl's name, but if your brother is in fact called Komui, then that was definitely your mother. And all I saw in her eyes were worry and sadness for you two."
"...mother…" She sniffled while hugging Maria who blushed from the hug.
"Um Allen….a little help?" Maria asked. "I don't know what to do with this."
"Oh! Lenalee, don't take this as a bad sign. It shows your mom's alright. And I don't think she'd want you to be mad at your brother."
Lenalee looked at Allen with a smile. "True, but still," she sniffled a little. "I wish she was here."
Maria patted her back while Allen finished up wrapping her leg.
"Is it too tight?" Allen asked. "If it is I can loosen it for you."
"No, it's fine." she nodded after pulling back from Maria.
"Do you want me to carry you?" Maria asked. "To make up for breaking your leg."
"Well it's going to be hard to walk by myself, so I wouldn't mind some help."
Maria nodded before lowering her legs to the ground. "Allen, put Lenalee on my back, just be careful of the leg."
Allen nodded as he pick the female exorcist up, carefully, and placed her on Maria's back.
"Thanks." spoke Lenalee as she held onto Maria's neck while being careful with her leg.
"Anytime." Allen grinned while Maria started walking...two steps before panting.
"So...heavy." She teased. "Like a house!"
"Hey!" frowned Lenalee.
"Don't worry, I'm just kidding." she chuckled. "But on a serious note, I take it you two came here to find the Innocence?"
"Yes." Both said curiously.
"Why do you ask?" Allen said.
"Well because I saw something that looked like Innocence in the hands of a woman named Miranda." Maria said. "And well, a Noah is also in this town as well."
"A Noah? Like in the bible?" asked Lenalee.
"No. They are the first 'humans' on the ark with powers stemming from dark matter, they control other Akuma and the Earl is the leader."
"You're kidding." spoke Allen with wide eyes.
"I'm not." Maria said with stern eyes. "And they can also change their forms by reincarnating into different humans, but they also have one way to distinguish them. They have dark skin, of black coal, yellow eyes and a stigma on their heads." She pointed to her forehead. "So just be careful, they can kill experienced men and women in just seconds."
Both exorcists looked at each other before turning back with determination.
"Awww, looks like the new toy is broken." spoke a young voice from a top a building before jumping down and landing next to the exorcists and Akuma. "Hey~"
The three turned with Maria frowning and standing in front of Lenalee and Allen.
"Oh? What wrong?" Said a girl with spiky purple hair, a schoolgirl outfit,and pale skin. "Did these exorcists break you Mana?"
"Allen, you and your friend run." growled Maria.
"Why?" Allen asked.
"Oh?" The girl grinned as her skin turned coal black and her eyes turned dark yellow as stigmas appeared across her forehead. "You don't know, I'm a Noah, the true apostles of God." She then looked at Allen. "Mmmm….you're kind of cute for an exorcist."
Allen blushed hearing that before Maria let out a loud shriek and flew at Road with her claws raised.
She dodged before materializing candles with extremely pointed ends and sent them flying at Maria.
Said Akuma turned and swiped them away. And just in time too since the girl started to….summon a huge ass candle right at her.
"If you won't do what you are programmed to do," she grinned. "I'll just have to break you and rebuild you again." before she could send the candle, she had to duck from another swipe that came from Allen's Innocence. "Oh? You want to join, well maybe after this I can just ask Milleni to turn you into an Akuma so I can kiss you everyday~"
"Don't even think about touching my son!" roared Maria as she ran and climbed across the side of the candle with her eyes glaring at the Noah.
"Really? I just said kissing." She chuckled before opening a heart shaped door. "Well I need to go, but the next time we meet, I'm taking Allen and kissing him till he dies." She then turned to Allen. "Names Road by the way Allen~" she then jumped into the door and vanished along with said door.
"Damn it!" cursed Maria.
"Um miss Maria?" Lenalee asked while still confused at the whole 'battle'. "Can we head to HQ now? I think my arm is getting worse."
"Oh, right." she nodded. "But you two will have to lead the way, I have no idea where it's at."
"Sure….mother." Allen said before realizing something. "Do you have a 'skin' like other Akuma's? Because if we walked straight to the order, they might attack you."
Maria tapped her chin. "Hmm, the Earl did say something like that, but I never tried it before."
"Can you try?" Lenalee asked.
"Sure." Maria spoke before concentration on her 'human skin' as a cloud of smoke enveloped her. "...I think it worked."
"It did." nodded Lenalee with slightly wide eyes.
Allen looked at her in shock since Maria was now a young woman with an inverted Black order like uniform, long red hair, blue eyes, and E cup sizes mounds that made the uniform seem like it would burst at a whim. Oh and she looked like an older female version of himself. "W….Wow."
"What? Is it too small?" she asked while noticing Allen starring.
"No," Allen blushed. "It's a surprise that I'm looking at well me as a….woman." 'Don't stare...GAH I just stared!'
"Do we really look alike?" she asked turning to Lenalee.
"Well….kind of." She nodded. "But with a different hair color."
"Well in that case, let's go."
-Black Order HQ entrance-
"HALT!" Yelled the mechanical gatekeeper/face thing as Allen, Lenalee and Maria walked towards it. "...oh great the Akuma marked boy. Can't you leave me in peace?"
"We just need entrance." sweatdropped Allen.
"Only AFTER I scan you." It said before getting WAY too close to them as a bright light scanned them. Well, luck for them, Maria's change from a Dark Matter being to an Innocence being helped to hide her true form. "Enter and don't touch my nose marked one!"
The three were allowed entry as Maria was in awe at the inside design.
"By God! It's bigger and grander than any church I have ever seen….except for the vatican."
"And now you can meet my brother to get registered." spoke Lenalee.
"Ok…." She sweated nervously as they made it to Kamui's office. "But please don't let him experiment on me. I went through enough with the Earl."
"Just act natural and you'll be fine." reassured Allen.
Maria nodded before noticing the huge piles of books and papers scattered across the room. "...is it always this messy?"
"Yes." both of them replied at once.
She then saw a man sleeping on his desk with a mug with a pink bunny on it next to him. "Is that….a dead body?"
"No, that's him." replied Lenalee walking over and trying to shake the man's shoulder. Which didn't work at all.
"Let me try." Allen grinned before walking towards him and whispering in his ear. "Lenalee is marrying Miranda. And you're not invited."
"NOO! LENALEE!" cried out the man in horror bolting up in his chair.
"Got you." Allen laughed. "And mission….somewhat successful."
The man blinked before taking notice of the other woman in the room.
"Um….hi?" Maria said nervously. "I'm Maria and I kind of want to join the Black Order…" 'Calm down it's just a man...with a sister complex.'
"Oh! Well what position are you applying for?" he asked in interest.
"...combat?" She said. "And, um…..I'm kind of...unique."
"How so? To fight means you need to use Innocence or help track down any sources of Innocence."
"Well," Maria sighed before reassuming her Akuma form. "I can fight like this, right?"
Komui's eyes widened before he rushed towards the emergency button for the alarm. Only to get Black Booted by Lenalee.
"Knock it off brother. She's on our side now." Said exorcist glared.
"But Lenalee!"
"No buts!" She glared as she kicked Komui in the face. "And this is Allen's….father...mother…"
"Mother." clarified Maria before resuming her human form.
"Right. Sorry."
"Anyway," Allen cut in. "Please keep this a secret," he then leaned in closer to Komui's ear. "Or I might tell Miranda about your crush on her."
Komui turned pale hearing that.
"Now about that position." Allen grinned as horns popped out of his head.
"W-W-Well, I'm not sure what would suit her." he spoke with a nervous sweat.
Allen frowned before seeing Miranda coming in. "Miranda! Komui has a massive crush on-."
"NO!" cried Komui covering Allen's mouth.
"What?"
"N-Nothing! Allen's just delirious!" laughed Komui nervously.
"Oh…" She said before placing the stack of papers on the table and walked out of the room.
"Ok…." Maria sweatdropped. "That's just strange."
"Alright, but what position could I put her in?" whispered Komui to Allen.
"Battle nurse." Allen suggested before turning to Marie. "Can you heal others?"
"Not sure? Like my skin, I never tried it."
"Oh um….what position do you want?"
"Exorcist."
"Sounds fair." Allen said before whispering into Komui's ear. "Right?"
"Well that depends, can she use Innocence?"
"...no idea, but I don't feel the Dark Matter inside me." Maria said before walking up to Allen. "Could you let him go? I think he still has paper work to do."
"Good point. Have fun." waved Allen as he and Maria walked out of the office.
"Allen." Maria said as they walked through the halls. "I want to do something when we get to your room."
"Sure." Allen said before making it to a dark hallway, where an opened door with his name on it came into view. He walked inside with Maria following with a grin on her face.
"Allen." She grinned before locking the door behind her. "I wanted to show my thanks my cute son."
He looked at her as she resumed her Akuma form and picked him up by the shoulders.
"And now I'm going to kiss you all night long~" She said before kissing Allen's lips.
His eyes widened as his legs swung while he was stunned at how soft they felt before she pulled back and she started kissing all over his face.
"I." *Smooch* "Love." *Smooch* "You." *Smooch* "Allen!" *SMOOOOOCH!*
Allen was beet red as she pulled back with lipstick marks all over his face. "And remember, this is to make up for all that time, so we can't miss a second~"
Allen blushed even more as Maria continued to kiss him as the screen went black. 'This is gonna be a long night.'
