Spicer's Wish Part 2

It was almost as if Allen was magic. Suddenly, he's behind Wuya, kicking her through a tree and yelling at Jack to find the Wu. Nodding slightly, the albino who's once again hiding his hair scrambles away to find what had drawn everyone there with most still shocked by the new ghost. He quickly grabs the necklace and retreats before anyone really notices in time to see Wuya land a blow on Allen.

"Allen!" he shouts, terror running through him at the fact that the ghost seems a little fazed by the hit.

"I'm fine," the teen says, roundhouse kicking the bitch once for fun. "Got it?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They're gone before anyone realizes what just happened.

Allen collapses on and into Jack's couch when they get back, laughing loudly. "Did you see their faces?!"

"I know!" the genius cackles and falls next to him. "It was brilliant! I've never seen them so dumbfounded!" Their laughter crescendos and fills the room, making it light and airy, even as company comes ever closer. They don't notice though, too wrapped up in each other, and when Allen says,

"I love you..." Jack's too delighted to care about anything else. That is until his doorbell's pushed.

Slowly, they get up, and Jack trudges over to the door, opening it to find the Xiaolin monks. "What?"

The annoyance dripping off of that one word surprises the monks, but Kimiko powers through it and asks, "who came with you today?"

"Allen," he answers plainly. "Come inside."

The moment they step through, their eyes are drawn to the ghost that's sitting on the couch once more, peaking up at them. "Hi," he greets, prompting ones from them as well. "What are you doing here?"

Dojo answers, moving into the ground from Omi's shoulder. "We were curious about you."

"Curious? Why?"

"We've never seen you before. How long have you been here?"

"Since I got the wishing stone," Jack says, grabbing a quick snack while his enemies are distracting Allen.

Dojo's surprised. "You were brought here by the wishing stone?" Allen nods. "Th-that never happens! The wishing stone only works for someone who is in desperate need for what they wish." He turns his attention back to the albino with his hood pulled up. "What did you wish for?"

"A friend."

Allen smiles. "I'll always be your friend."

"I know."

After the monks leave, the two albinos lie together on the living one's bed and sleep, both dreaming of similar futures in which Allen is alive again, and their lives are complete. As they sleep, the wishing stone glows.

A few streets away, Katnappé and Wuya plot, never knowing what exactly they would be getting themselves into.

In the morning, read: ten o'clock, Jack leaves to get some parts, promising to be home before one in the afternoon, and when he doesn't, Allen behind to freak out, fearing the worst. Those fears aren't completely unfounded for an hour later a genetically modified cat brings a note stating that if he wants Jack back, he'll bring the stone to the next showdown. So Allen sits by the scanner, and when it goes off, he's gone.

The ex-exorcist lands in a place that is all to familiar, the ruins of a castle that he recognizes as the first place he could call home, the original headquarters of the Black Order. Sorrow fills him along with nostalgia, so he stoops among the rubble and gently grasps a piece of it tenderly; this is the sight the heylins and monks see when they arrive, Jack's bound form in the teeth of one of Katnappé's cats. "What's wrong, ghosty?"

"We shouldn't fight here... Too much innocent blood was spilt here..."

"What are you talking about?"

He ignores her but not Raimundo who asks, "what is this place?"

"The original Headquarters... The Vatican's Black Order Headquarters. It was my home. This was where I was instated officially as an exorcist... I was here when a Noah, Lulubell brought Skulls and akuma to wipe us out. I was lucky to survive, lucky to help kill the level four that decimated our forces... We weren't that many anyways... Especially in the end..." A bitter laugh comes from his mouth, chilling enemy and 'friend?' alike. "I was fifteen when I was formally inducted, eleven when I began my training, sixteen when I died. And they said that I must be truly loved by God... I lived for months on borrowed time and died once my purpose was fulfilled. Yet, before that, many thought me to be a monster, especially when they found out one of our enemies was inside of me. Uncle Neah Walker..." Allen stands up, head still dropped and says, "they said that he was what made me exhibit Noah behavior..." He shakes his head. "Give me Jack."

"The stone," Ashley whispers.

Allen grasps said stone in his hands, reluctant to give it up because there's something about it that calls to his spirit, but he has to save Jack. "I wish I was real again… Let me protect him..."

He tosses it into the air, and Jack's pushed to him as Katnappé catches the Wu. "Thanks, Allen." Her crooked, vile grin falls when the wishing stone glows once more and the ghost falls to ground, glowing as well. "What the hell?"

Silver eyes snap open, and he pushes himself off of the ground, real… alive again. "Looks like it worked..." Silver becomes gold and his skin greys just slightly. "To finish my final statement, I think they were wrong... Noahs are viscous. Noahs have a fierce hatred for most humans; for some, only a few. Noahs know how to get what they want... Noahs are possessive... And you took something that is mine. For giving him back, I won't kill you... Be grateful."

"Allen!" Jack grabs him tightly. "Please, calm down. Don't give into it! Remember your conviction!"

"My left hand is for akuma... My right for humans."

"Yes... Not to kill but to help. You're a good person!" Slowly, Allen relaxes, becoming more of the teen that the monks had talked to. "Thank you."

Allen nods. "Let's go home. I don't wan-" A sudden pain in his left eye had him grasping at it as the curse activates, alerting him to the level four that's approaching quickly. "Run!" he shouts and pushes his love back. "If we don't, we'll be killed."

Yet, before anyone can get away, it appears, mocking angels with it's very being. "Will you play with me?"

Allen, terror welling up inside of him because Crown Clown isn't with him, sends out a prayer before answering. "You like playing games, don't you, akuma?"

It giggles evilly. "I do! I like tag! Do you like tag?"

"I do, but only when I have a special friend with me."

"Oh!" it exclaims. "You're an exorcist, aren't you?"

"I used to be."

Its dark grin grows as it croons, "once an exorcist, always an exorcist. And exorcists are supposed to die!"

Allen leaps back, trying to keep its attention on him, but it's hard with the monks wanting to help. So it's no surprise to him when a blow lands and slams his newly acquired body into a tree. Seeing that his plaything might not get back up, the level four moves to strike at Jack only to be stopped a white-cloaked figure...

It flings the monstrosity away before hurrying over to Allen and hauling him out of the tree. Metallic eyes flutter open, and he murmurs, "you came back..." The figure wraps its right hand around said one of Allen's, starting to meld to it. "I've missed you, Crown Clown."

Allen pushes himself out of the hole as the innocence envelopes him, sinking itself back into the into his left arm, the place where it had always called home, and takes his position as warrior in front of the machine that just appears. "Exorcist?" It cocks its head cutely. "You're an actual exorcist again?"

"Yes, I am," he growls. "Now you need to stay still and let me release you from your bonds to this world. Let me give you salvation."

"Never!"

Allen merely smirks at its cry. "Don't be so sure." His left hand that had been hidden by the snowy cowl comes out, revealing a black and silver claw, and then it turns back to a black hand. "Let's get this over with." The normal hand grabs the innocence one around the wrist and pulls, the entire arm becoming a giant sword. "Let's go."

He leaps at the akuma who in turn attacks him, both becoming a jumbled mass of fighters in mere moments. Suddenly, Allen's got it pinned beneath the end of his blade and pushes down, jumping up to put all of his weight on top of it. It splits in half with a loud shriek, the chains around its soul busting as it dies again.

"May your soul rest in peace..."

She smiles softly and whispers, "thank you..." Then she's gone.

After deactivating his innocence and marveling at how good it feels to have that oddly comforting presence back, he turns to look at the fighters and Jack. "Are you all okay?" he inquires.

"Yeah," Kimiko replies. "You protected us."

"It's what I do."

"What was that ghostly thing over its shoulder?" Raimundo asks after a moment.

Allen brings his hand up to his now-deactivated eye. "That was its power source, the soul that's trapped inside. When akuma are made, it takes a machine: the skeletons of all akuma, a tragedy: someone must die and cause someone else to unconsciously call the Maker, and a sacrifice: in order for them to be created someone must die... the one who called the soul back to earth. I'm cursed to see them from back when I tried to turn Mana, my adoptive father into one... I was eleven at the time." For some reason, he's smiling, freaking Katnappé and Wuya out.

"Then why could we see it?"

Allen looks over at Chase with surprise for it's the first time he's spoken. "My curse evolved to allow those around me to see it too. When it first happened, Lavi, one of my friends, was with me, and he was kind of freaked out. He wrote in the official report that 'my world of black and white is more like looking into Hell.'" A sigh passes his petal lips and he looks down at the glowing cross on the back of his hand. "Are you going to stay?" It glows brightly to say yes. "Good. I have a feeling that there's a lot more akuma that need exorcizing."

"Well, if you're going, I'm going too." He looks over at Jack with surprise. "Anywhere you go, I'm going too."

Allen smiles. "I'd like that..." He grabs his albino and hugs him tight, whispering, "I love you."

"I love you too..."

Tada! I hope you liked.
