A/N: This is rather nonsensical. Not much AxLena C Forgive me! It wasn't what I had imagined it to be, though.
My palms gripped onto the golden hilt of my sword, I was facing my danger, my greatest enemy of all time. The greatest villain: the Millennium Earl. Whatever it was, I cannot risk letting my guard down. My left side was bleeding horribly, a gaping wound ran it down. I had to ignore the pain, fight! FIGHT!
I looked up to see the poker face of him, grinning widely. That's so annoying. I swung my aching arm backward, before lunging at the Earl, applying as much momentum and force as I could into this attack. I could see him doing the same, holding the sword. As we both readied our battle-wearied bodies and minds for the final attack. Determination, one thing we both were equal at. I refused to let the thoughts of my friends drift into my mind, as they each fought their own battles.
The Earl had sustained numerous small injuries, a slight scratch on his face, and a large graze in between his eyes, when I smashed his spectacles in half. I could clearly see his eyes this way, clearly see the evil behind those small pieces of glass. My hand glowed a tinge of bright green, blazing like fire, yet calm and composed. I looked toward my enemy, whose eyes were filled with hatred, yet he was calm and rationale. His sword was glowing a strange purple, strange to the point where it was sizzling, and flowing like a wave. We stared into each other's eyes for a brief moment, before we both disappeared and appeared in front of each other. This was the desperate moment, the moment of truth. I swung my sweaty hands forward, smashing my sword against his. Innocence against dark matter, a deadly battle. I pressed on with more strength, expecting him to do the same.
It stayed that way for some time, before my arm went dumb, stinging from the vibration of the clash and impact. Suddenly, both sides gave way, as the momentum brought me and him stumbling towards each other, as my head smashed into his. Pain seared through my mind as my sword has been destroyed, so had his. We both tumbled backward, clutching our heads in pain after that mutual head butt. There was no other choice, it was down to a melee battle. My sword had broke, my left hand! This is not the time, Allen. Keep walking. You have me as your last resort.
Mana… I had to push on. Both of us gathered ourselves from the shock and continued the battle. Leaping forward, I clenched my sweaty, gloved, palm and swung it towards the Earl's face. He brought his left arm up to parry my blow, before placing a punch into my gut. I felt my stomach churn as I coughed out blood.
The excruciating pain of the blow was beyond Earthly, there must be some kind of trickery. I had flew a few metres away from him, clutching my stomach in pain. I was choking on my blood, he had an advantage: two hands. No matter what, I must fight till the end. For the world, for my home, for Lenalee. This is the wrong time, I shook my head left and right, trying to rid my mind of thoughts for a while. This is something serious.
I brought myself up, bracing myself for another encounter with pain. This time, I must try something else. Glaring at the Earl, he suddenly went out of sight and appeared beside me. I jumped by instinct, to see his fist missing my feet by inches. Swinging my foot forward, I hooked his face upwards, cracking his nose. "Arghh, bastard!" he cried out in anguish, as he brought his hand to his face and wiped the blood from his nose. "You'll pay, I promise. Hehehe!" I hate that evil laughter of his.
As he lunged towards me once again, I brought my right hand up slightly, parrying his left hand. As if he knew I was going to dodge his right punch, he feigned his right punch, before charging his purple force in his left hand. Damn it, not in time to react, my balance was lost. I could only bring my hand up and squint my eyes in dreadful expectation.
Then it came, the dark force ate through my skin and burnt my chest. I howled loudly in pain, this was getting nowhere. The electrifying shock of the attack left me temporarily paralyzed. Mana…
Allen! Do you want me to help? How could he possibly help me in this state? The Earl walked over towards me and bent down, clutching my neck and lifting me up to face him.
"Allen Walker. Now, you will finally die!" He screamed a terrible victory cry. I cried silently, guilty of letting my friends down.
I can remove his powers, Allen! I gasped in shock inside, my facial muscles were too tired to even smile at the moment.
Please do, Mana! I cried out to him. "MANA!!" I screamed right in the face of the Earl.
Your life source will mingle, though. Mingle? Does he mean I may die?
Although all the Akuma were dead, and only Road, Tyki, Gildartz, Sohaku and the Earl was left. Everyone was fighting their own battle. Even if they won the Noah… I have to do my job. It's the only way, Mana… I can't risk Lenalee getting killed. Being the strongest Exorcist besides me and Kanda, she'll be the Earl's next target if he's still alive. She may be the heart too, afterall.
So be it. I didn't even know what was going to happen. My eyeballs rushed around, searching for Lenalee. Her fight was over, Gildartz, the Noah of Guilt was destroyed, only his empty clothing remained.
"Allen-kun!" she cried. "Allen-kun!" I laughed at myself, removing the thought of her actually feeling the same as how I felt about her. Mana was going to take some time. Lenalee finished her fight, but she didn't know where him and I were fighting. It was, after all, blocked from their view. Fighting behind a hill wasn't such a bad idea after all. They couldn't see my suffering.
"Oh, it seems you have your allies!" he grinned. Damn it. I flung my arm away, trying to stop her from coming nearer. "Maybe I should kill her in front of you!" He lifted up his bloody left hand to scratch his chin, obviously trying to annoy me. "But then again… The last time I left you alive, you caused so much trouble!" I smirked at him, Mana will help me. I could feel something strange welling up inside me. It was alright, leave everything to Mana.
"Nii-san and everyone else's coming to help! Where are you?! Answer me, Allen-kun!" Lenalee screamed, the sweet voice still oblivious to my current situation. I love you, Lenalee. Then the feeling grew so big within me, I felt as if my soul was in battle. I looked at the Earl, he was clutching his chest so hard, his white knuckles turned even whiter.
Go, Mana! The feeling grew so big, I felt my body start to crumble into nothing, like the time when I got Crowned Clown. Then it happened, his howl filled the air, and his body started to morph into something weird, shrinking in size, and a bright light filled the air around him. I fell to the ground, his clutch could not hold me up.
I drooped down, and watched the Earl's downfall. After the white light started to fade away, I looked down at him again, a normal human appearance. His Noah was gone, too. The ultimate Noah, the Noah of Birth. Mana… Thank you so much, Mana…
Keep walking, Allen. I heard, before he silently drifted away to the back of my mind once again. I commanded my innocence back, as I deactivated Crowned Clown. Still lying on the floor, my left arm was severed in half, green sinews holding the arm in one piece. My left side was impaled my the sword, and my forehead was bleeding from the head butt. My neck had red, burning, finger marks, and my chest was imprinted with burnt skin. I wouldn't want Lenalee to see me like that.
"Allen-kun!" Lenalee shouted, as she rushed down from the peak of the hill, staring at me, wide-eyed. So much for not wanting her to see me like that.
"Lenalee, are you alright?" I asked, almost murmuring, I hadn't the strength to speak. She looked down at me in shock, and concern.
"I'm much better compared to you…" Her voice drifted off, interrupted by her sobs. I lifted up my hand, as it trembled slightly, and touched her cheek.
"Don't worry about me. Don't cry, Lenalee. Please?" I looked at her, feeling slightly guilty that she cried over me again. She's so pretty though, those violet irises… I felt lost in my gaze for a while, before realizing that everyone, yes, everyone, I confirmed myself, was staring at the two of us. This felt like a déjàvu. Like the time before the ark, where we both cried.
She was hugging me, the battle was won. "We won, Lenalee. Be happy." I mumbled. Not much strength left within me to speak loudly for everyone to hear. To my surprise, no one came near us, and it made me feel like it was just me and her.
"It's not won if I lost you, Allen-kun." She still continued her slight sobs, coughing in between sometimes. I blushed slightly. What did she mean? Either way…
"Lenalee… I love you, Lenalee. I've been wanting to tell you for some time…" I whispered softly, still embarrassed. I could feel her tense up slightly, it appears she didn't feel the same way about me after all.
"If you love me, don't die!" She cried out. I shook my head in slight despair, the smile still on my face. That was impossible. It took my soul to destroy the Earl. Mana did it, it wasn't me, though. She looked at me in slight anger, I saw her from the edge of my eye, clenching her fist, trying to contain her rage.
"I can't, I must die, Lenalee. Please understand." I pleaded, trying to show her how much she means to me. "If I didn't do this… The Earl will be back, and all of you will be in danger."
You may not die, Allen. Keep walking. I opened my eye wide at that. "What's wrong, Allen-kun?" Lenalee noticed, apparently.
"It's nothing." I smiled affirmatively. She didn't need to know about Mana and I. The three consciences in my mind. Although the 14th was dead.
"I hate you, Allen-kun. Don't you trust me?!" She shouted, before standing up so quickly, dropping me onto the ground with a dull thud. I could see her tears, as she ran away. Away from me. Damn it, I broke her world. Seeing Lenalee take her leave, the others started to crowd around me anxiously. Whispering words of concern and hope.
Before slipping off into unconsciousness, I hollered over for Komui-san to come. "Komui-san, please keep the others safe. Y-you're the only one," I paused, swallowing the blood in my mouth, before continuing, "Who can fix Lenalee's world." I finished off, smiling sweetly at him. Will he answer my request?
"That's wrong, Allen-kun. The only one that can fix her broken world," I hadn't expected this to come from him. "Is you. Don't die, Allen-kun." That was all I heard, before drifting off into unconsciousness. Is this death? No, death was never this happy for me. Komui-san didn't kill me for hugging Lenalee, nor did he kill me for making Lenalee cry. Was this another side of the Devil Supervisor? I felt myself being carried by Lavi and Kanda, who just gave a "Che" in response to Lavi's impatient irritancies to help carry me back home.
I'm walking, Mana. Walking towards Lenalee. Thanks Mana. I muttered towards the back of my mind.
She loves you too. I gasped slightly in shock, all the while wondering how I'm still conscious, yet unconscious. Either way, Mana was always right.
I must fix what I break.
When I wrote this... I didn't really know how to relate it to break/fix. So I just tried to.. You know, Fix it in X Sorry about that.
Review please. I know I can't write fighting scenes . Don't rub it in!
