Lavi walked along the edge of the long and gracious Nile River that was the pride and joy of all Egyptians. The stars that were crying tears of rain reflected shiningly at the river's soft surface. The mere mortal walked on, ignoring their harmonious pleas to turn around and save their sorrowful Master from his long-awaiting death. The full moon stood guard over the blessed sky, now darkened with grief and pity for the humans below its watchful eye. Finally, the heartbroken archeologist sat down to break even. He felt a deep emptiness in his heart that was supposedly filled with the love he had for Allen. All those swirling foreign thoughts taunted his clear view of reality, giving him false illusions and ill-will thoughts. If only there were no secrets between us, then that would be enough for me. Lavi just didn't have the courage to stand up, so he continued to lament on himself.

The thunder rumbled from the high heavens and Lavi watched the night clouds turned grey with the coming of their Master. Silent strikes of lightning struck in the belly of the said growing floating cottons in the sky. Then the bellowing cry of a bird-of-prey came a-thundering down the Earth. Two giant falcons that seem to be fitted with golden armor flew smoothly towards Lavi, who was now staring at the very magnificence which are the birds. The large falcons swooped down and they shined a bright light rivaled to the stars that were still crying their hearts out. Lavi gasped in awe as a man and a woman stood proudly before him. Correction: A God and a Goddess.

Khonsu was gladded in his royal armor shone gleaming in the night surroundings, granting him the name God of the Moon. In his hand held the staff in which he always carried, forever in the presence of Gods' symbol, Ankh. Lavi presumed that the Goddess beside Him went by the name Hathor, the Goddess of joy and motherhood. Instead of a staff, she held nothing, contended on just using her magic alone when the time comes for battle. The Goddess of love was also in full armor, protecting her from the dangers that were to come. Despite both Their differences, both held worry and panic in Their once-dignified faces. One more worried than the other.

"What are you doing, Lavi? Do you not care that Allen's in trouble?" Khonsu came up face to face with the solemn Lavi. The unafraid mortal only shook his heavy head in reply.

"He doesn't need my help. So what if he obtains ultimate power? It doesn't affect me at all,"

"You stupid mortal! The course to obtaining ultimate power is more than just glitter and happiness, you know! If something goes asunder, then the whole world dies!" Khonsu growled, His worrying face now turned to anger. Lavi snapped his head up when he heard those words. He looked at the beautiful Goddess for an explanation, and She readily gave him one.

"To obtain ultimate power, Allen has to undergo one condition: He has to merge body and soul with Khonsu here-"

"That time spam during the merging will leave both Allen and I totally defenseless to outside dangers. The Noahs had a secret agenda to killing Allen. Because in killing him, they would be killing me, a God," Khonsu continued.

Lavi withheld the urge to gap open his mouth. If Khonsu, the Moon God dies, it would mean catastrophic ends to the whole world! "If that's so, then You're only doing this to save Yourself, not Allen!"

A slap echoed through the Nile River. Hathor kept her silent face on as Lavi was ominously slapped on the cheek by Allen's Father in Heaven. Khonsu stared straight at the imbecile that His son had fallen in love for, His eyes fired like the deep blood that was flowing through His very veins.

"Allen is My son, my living flesh and blood. I would tear down mountains and tame seas and crush volcanoes for him if he wished it so. I love him for the bottom of my Godly heart, so watch your mouth, mortal," Khonsu said quietly.

"If You really love him, why are You here, talking to me? Shouldn't You be there saving him?" Lavi said cautiously, afraid of bringing the Dark Side of Khonsu out. Hathor shook her head in denial, her face now showed regret and pain.

"The one rule that the Gods implemented was that we do not war with the humans. We cannot get involve in their lust of blood, you see,"

Khonsu stepped back, his face also in the verge of breaking apart by that simple yet terrifying rule. Lavi reviewed the way Khonsu and Hathor clenched and unclenched their fists in silent frustration; their body language showed the meaning of straight up helplessness for them being unable to do anything to save their beloved son from death. Their deep love in their eyes didn't go undetected by Lavi, and he felt his anger leaving him.

"Allen doesn't love me... He loves Rabi, that person living in my body right now. That's the guy he loves, not me," Lavi said somberly. Khonsu and Hathor perked up and trade an unreadable glance to each other. Khonsu represented the Gods once more.

"Then do you wish Rabi to leave you?" Khonsu asked, his staff now transformed to the almighty scythe that was once held over Lavi's neck. Before Lavi could answer, Khonsu swerved His weapon at Lavi, cutting through his body as easily as slicing through butter. Lavi felt a jolt of pain inside him, as if someone has grabbed hold part of his soul and was now pulling it away from him. As quickly as it appeared, the string of pain left, leaving Lavi to pant on the ground.

"What did you do?" Lavi asked when his voice came back to normal. Khonsu released His scythe to return it back to His loyal staff.

"I sent Rabi back to the World of the Dead, where he belongs. By now, I think he's having a nice long talk with Anubis... Do you feel any different, Lavi?"

Lavi realized that Khonsu had called him 'Lavi', not idiot or mortal. He reverently denied Khonsu's question.

"I don't feel any different. Like nothing happened,"

"That's because nothing really happened. You've been in control of your own mind, body and soul from the very beginning. Rabi didn't do anything, while you did everything. I don't know what that lying tongue of a Noah said to you, but heed My words; Allen loves you and only you, Lavi,"

I love you and only you, Lavi. Allen's real confession came ringing into Lavi's calm head. He mentally hit himself for being such a stubborn fool, and now Allen's going to pay for his mistakes if he doesn't act quickly! Khonsu tilted His head upwards to the sky as if hearing some message from the stars above.

"Even now I can still hear Allen calling for you, Lavi. Can you not hear him? He's crying at the tomb where you had found him. What will you do; will you leave him and the world in jeopardy once again?"

Lavi didn't answer the question, for he was already on the way back to the tomb, where it had all began. Khonsu and Hathor bid him farewell, sending him a gift to help him on his mission. If They can't deal with the murderer directly, there are other ways to get involve indirectly.

While Lavi ran with the constant wind at his heels, Lavi felt his whole body obeying the laws of gravity. Then as the royal armor of the Gods fitted him like a glove, Lavi felt himself getting lighter. Swirls of magic and ancient language were integrated into the armor, granting Lavi a temporary shell of protection. Then a falling star came down at Lavi's side, picking up his pace with the now-armored mortal. Lavi saw a samurai with his sword unsheathed at his side, his speed now matching his.

"I'm Yu Kanda, loyal to my Master, Khonsu. I'm here to assist you," Kanda introduced himself curtly. Lavi gave a quick nod at his partner before picking up his speed. Lavi looked up at the now full moon that was threatening to blind the earth below with its ungodly brightness and slumbering power. There was not much time left till midnight, as the two warriors ran against time.

Meanwhile, Allen was struggling against the metal-cold chains that were holding him in place on the giant altar. Khonsu's unwavering statue looming behind him, Allen could not do much but try futilely to summon his waning powers. As the full moon came crawling slowly above him, Allen felt himself being drained of power and energy, his moment of weakness almost dawning before him. The full moon was sapping his last remaining energy, before completely burning him out for Khonsu to begin the merging. Tyki was pacing impatiently around the altar, his eyes darting in all directions for any signs of trouble. When he saw Allen slipping into unconsciousness, Tyki gleamed evilly. Taking his long sword out that was blood-thirsty for four centuries now; Tyki readied his sword at the peak of Allen's chest, where the heart was beating ever so slowly. The moment when Khonsu enters Allen's body will be His last moment.

Then a loud cry shot through the silent sky and Tyki found himself face to face with an angry star samurai. Time was ticking away, the moon almost to its full completion state. Allen's vision became blurry, but he didn't miss the familiar red-hair he loves so very much.

"Lavi!" Allen cried in relief, his heart beginning to beat faster now. Lavi unsheathed the singing silver sword that Khonsu gave him and sliced open one side of the chains easily. Tyki heard the clanging of broken chains and saw Allen being released from his bounds. Tyki let out an enraged cry and hurled Lavi back into the pillar behind with a surge of red energy. Then the sky was turning darker, the moon right in the place where it should be four centuries ago, at midnight on its fullest of power. Tyki sliced his sword in an uppercut, making Kanda stepped a few meters back for defense. A few meters back was enough for Tyki to run towards the struggling Allen and thrust his sword downwards, aiming true to Allen's heart. The moment of merging had begun, the moon showing its moment of defenselessness to its murderer.

"Allen!" Lavi felt his body split into two. Allen opened his eyes to Lavi's voice. And held his breath. There, lying on his hands and knees above him was a much wounded Lavi with a sword pierced straight through his heart cavity. Allen didn't feel the droplets of blood pelting his white face, sending shivers down his spine. He didn't feel the air around him turn colder as the night turn darker. He didn't feel his Father that was currently residing inside his empty soul. No, Allen didn't care about that. All he could think of was the man he loved that sacrificed his very life for him. Lavi looked at his beloved one last time with his eyes full of love and warmth, his face smiling softly at the shocked Allen.

"I love you and only you, Allen," Those were Lavi's last departing words before falling down at Allen's side. Allen's eyes turned blood-lust red as Lavi's blood seeped into his shirt like water, the metallic smell covering his sense and blinding his mind.

"LAVI!"Allen cried, embracing his Dark Side and ultimate power to the maximum. The moon turned red, showing the true spirit of Allen and Khonsu's suffering. Tyki stepped back fearfully, as he saw both Allen the Prince of Egypt and Khonsu the Moon God inside his darkened eyes. The stars cry their songs of praises and mercy, their joyous voice in one melodious harmony. The wind and seas and mountains ad everything God has made came roaring their alliance to the Perfect One. Allen's sword appeared at his side, but instead of its usual silver color, it came to him in glorious gold and red; the color of the Gods. He walked forward, every step making the Earth bow down to its feet and the sky falling to its knees at this wondrous sight. Allen and Khonsu now combined wore their emotionless mask of gold as the wielding arm stand at the ready to drink the blood of the tainted.

"Pass judgment upon the wicked, Crown Clown,"And Tyki's life ended with just a swipe of the Gods' weapon.

The moon turned back to its normal state, not having its bloodthirsty side taking over anymore. Allen was crying over Lavi's dead body, his tears falling like the rain from heaven above. For once in four centuries, Allen felt his heart break into tiny pieces and his feelings crying out in pain and remorse. All was well, the Earth was saved and he was still alive, but for what price? What use of life is to Allen if life itself was already dead, in his arms? Allen let his defenses fall as he cried out in sadness, and only the stars above followed his example. Inside him lay a quiet and lamenting Khonsu, who watched Allen hugging Lavi tightly from a distance. Even from the depths of his heart, Khonsu could feel the sadness that dwelled around him. He sent an apologetically prayer to Amun for what He's about to do.

Allen, do you really love Lavi?

Yes, Father. With all my heart and strength. Allen sniffed inwardly, failing to keep his emotions in check. Khonsu smiled at His son.

Then We will trade, My son.

Trade? Allen enquired. Khonsu was already summoning up a spell for this specific task in mind, Hathor and Isis giving Him the strength and magic needed to do so.

Your ultimate power for Lavi's soul. Osiris nodded His undead head in agreement while holding onto the sleeping soul of the deal. Allen widens his eyes and blinked back the tears.

But take in mind that if you sacrifice Our ultimate power, you will be living the life of a normal human mortal, with the absence of magic and power. Khonsu said the terms of the deal, but He already knew what would be Allen's answer.

I don't care. I would rather live a short life with the one I love then live forever without him by my side. He sacrificed his life for me; it's fitting that I will do the same, Father. Thoth laughed calmly at Allen's wise words. Khonsu joined in the lighted laughter before leaving Allen's body. Kissing his forehead, Khonsu hugged His son for what He hoped wouldn't be the last time before Osiris comes to claim His soul. By then, Khonsu would make sure that these two will spend the rest of eternity in the Field of Reeds, forever together.

I love so much, My son. I'm proud of you. Placing Lavi's soul back into his body, Khonsu left the couple alone and entered the heavens to watch the scene unfold with his family.

"L-Lavi?" Allen whispered, afraid to break the silence. His heart gave a jump as he felt Lavi's chest rise up and down to breath, telling him that Lavi was finally alive. The body has accepted its soul once more! Lavi cringed his eyebrow before opening his green eye to a worried Allen. That was a beautiful picture he didn't mind waking up to. Lavi smiled lovingly and grasped Allen's wet cheek with a shaky hand. Allen felt the warmth coming from it and kissed the palm of his hand gently. Allen closed the gap between them as he softly kissed Lavi, giving him all love that he had for the red-head.

"I love you, Lavi,"

"I love you too, Allen," Lavi finally replied, kissing Allen back feverishly. The two spent the night lavishing each other with kisses and touches, sending messages of love and loyalty towards one another. And as they made love underneath the light blue sky of the morning night, Allen and Lavi fell into each others' arms like a missing jigsaw puzzle made for each other, and the picture was finally perfect.

Ah, I hope the ending's adequate enough, I'm not realy used to writing this fluff much. I do hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing this! Well, that's the end, and again, I'd like to shout out one last time to these wonderful people who gave me motivation:
