This is for A -man writing challenge by DoctorwhoXX. The challenge is to write a story where Allen has a twin brother. And the twin is the 14th Noah and not Allen. And the only rule is no yaoi. /sob.
Oh well. Any way the name for Allen's twin brother is Ace. I was going to use Aren, but that gets used a lot.
Any who, I hope you enjoy the story ^^
Everything had been going great since Mana came into our lives. He taught us everything we needed to know for life and even some circus tricks. Allen and Ace smiled happily as they walked down the street beside Mana, holding each other's hand so they wouldn't get separated. Life felt like a series of magical moments with him.
Suddenly, the next thing we knew, Mana was lying on the ground, hurt, and we had been pushed away. Allen was the first to recover. He ran over to Mana and gently shook him.
"Mana? Mana... Mana!" Allen exclaimed, his voice trembling as he gently shook Mana.
"Mana!" His eyes filled with tears. Mana weakly grabbed onto Allen's deformed arm and spoke in a fragile voice.
"Allen... Listen, Allen..." Allen leaned closer to him, tears threatening to fall down his face.
"No matter what happens, don't ever stop..."
"No, Mana! Don't die!"
"Keep walking... always..."
"Don't leave us alone!" Allen cried as tears streamed down his face. Ace was crying now too. He didn't want Mana to die either. Even though Mana paid a little more attention to Allen than to him, he still loved Mana for taking them in when they had no one. Mana's grip started to weaken on Allen's wrist.
"Keep walking, Allen... Until you meet... your end..." Mana whispered before his grip left Allen's wrist completely.
"M...Mana?" Allen asked weakly, placing his hand on Mana's shoulder and shaking him gently.
"No... No!" Ace slowly got up and walked closer as Allen hugged their lifeless foster father.
"Don't die! Don't die!" Allen screamed. Ace reached him and had to pull him away, hugging him tightly. He quietly cried as Allen wept loudly, their sorrow echoing through the empty street.
Later that day, Mana was buried. No one really came to the funeral, if you could call it that. Allen sat in front of the tombstone, crying and slouched over. Ace's eyes widened in fear as a fat man appeared out of nowhere behind the tombstone.
"Good evening." Allen slowly looked up at the fat man with a strange top hat and an eerie grin.
"Shall I bring Mana Walker back to life for you?" the man asked. Ace had a bad feeling about this man, but he couldn't move. He was frozen by fear.
"What?" Allen asked meekly.
"But to do so, I need your help... I need you to call Mana, since you have a bond with him..." the man said, his face becoming even more unsettling.
"You'll bring back Mana?"
"That's right. Get him back from your detestable God." Allen seemed to perk up a little at hearing that.
"Mana... Mana will come back?" The fat man started to laugh and spin around, summoning a strange thing with a skeleton attached to it. Allen slowly got up.
"Now, call back the soul of the one precious to you from the other world." Allen walked over to the thing. Ace ran to try and stop Allen right as he screamed out Mana's name. The second Allen stopped, a bright purple light struck the skeleton. We watched as Mana's name appeared on the skeleton and it began to move.
"A..llen..."
"Mana!" Allen said, starting to move closer to the skeleton to hug it.
"How dare you... How dare you turn me into an Akuma!" It yelled, moving closer to the boys.
"What?" Allen asked, confused.
"I'll curse you both!" It yelled, striking us both across the same eye. Ace fell to his knees, holding his eye, and watched as Allen was wrapped up by wires and slammed into the ground.
"How dare you turn me into an Akuma!"
"Allen-kun... You're mine now." Ace forced himself up and ran at the fat man, glaring.
"Leave Allen alone!" Ace yelled. He was ignored.
"Now, Mana Walker. Kill him and wear his body!" Ace's only good eye widened in horror, then morphed into anger as he reached the fat man and began trying to hit him.
He heard the thing repeat that it would curse Allen, and suddenly, there was a bright light. He covered his eyes as he turned to look. He was shocked to see a large white claw in place of his brother's left arm as Allen screamed. The fat man behind Ace made a noise, but Ace didn't pay attention, his focus solely on his twin, Allen. Suddenly, Ace felt himself grabbed from behind by the man and struggled to get free as they disappeared, Allen vanishing from sight.
