A/N - I decided to give you guys another titan book to look at, this time through the eyes of some of the villains. Enjoy.
Gabriela, a rather small girl only standing at 5'2 she had a light skin complexion and she was on of Marley's warriors. The warriors included, Thomas, a tall man who was 5'7 and about 120 pounds. That was pretty solid considering that they were only children. He would smile a lot around his friends like Gabriela, Thomas would always care for Gabriela and he would never take his eyes off her. The other warriors were Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover, Annie Leonhardt, Zeke Yeager, Pieck, Marcel Galliard, and other people. Right now Zeke was in line to get the beast titan ability, Reiner was getting the armored titan, Bertholdt was getting colossal, Annie female, Pieck cart, and Marcel claw.
Gabriela and Thomas were in line to get some of the new titan powers, Zeke had a plan to get them what they wanted. Gabriela was in line to get the female titan just like Annie, he had other plans for Thomas, Zeke handed Thomas his spinal fluid. "Thomas, you are going to be able to use this once, you will have to use this fluid to get titan powers. If you eat a titan shifter you will become a titan, is that understood?" Zeke stated looking at Thomas seriously.
Thomas understood what he had to do, although it was in the form of a big syringe and Thomas was afraid of using needles on himself, so he never planned to use it but Zeke handed it to him in a safe case so he would never accidentally stab himself with the syringe. "Yes, sir…" Thomas said as he exited the office of Zeke Yeager standing outside of the office was his friend Gabriela giving Thomas a sharp punch to the shoulder. Thomas grunted looking at Gabriela.
"What he give you?" Gabriela said leaning on the arm of Thomas, she had to stand on her tiptoes just to be able to grab his shoulder. Thomas just grunted at her, "Oh you're not going to tell me now?" Gabriela teased as she tried to grab the case but Thomas just took it back forcefully.
"Gabriela, this stuff is not to be played with, if I were to use it on you. You would turn into a titan.." Thomas said remembering that Gabriela is the female titan along with Annie. "I may use this how I please…" Thomas said smiling at her and showing her the case, "This has Zeke's spinal fluid and I have to inject that into me, so I turn into a titan. I will be able to get any titan I want but don't tell the others they might get jealous…" Thomas said smirking. "Why were you outside the office waiting for me by the way…"
Gabriela blushed at that, because she honestly wanted to see Thomas but she didn't want to say that because she didn't want to say so. "I was just walking by and then I saw you…" Gabriela said lying hoping that he would believe that lie, he seemed to not believe that lie.
"Okay…." Thomas said with suspicion, he continued to walk with Gabriela and hid the case. "You going to be happy with the titan power right? It's a new one…"
"I guess so… only I can't really control it." Gabriela said looking down, "So that's going to be a big problem in the long run…"
"I can help you control it." Thomas said looking down at Gabriela.
"No you can't… you can't even transform!" Gabriela laughed at that comment. Thomas seemed offended by that laughter but he shrugged it off.
"Excuse me for trying to help…" Thomas said slightly chuckling.
"I didn't mean to offend you, you big baby…" Gabriela teased him pushing him slightly. Thomas stumbled slightly and just chuckled at that teasing comment.
Soon Gabriela, and Thomas were in town and they saw Annie looking rather down. Thomas seemed to notice that first and then elbowed Gabriela, "Hey… Annie seems down. Maybe you can talk to her, I gotta put this case away." Thomas said walking away from Gabriela, Gabriela looked at Annie and then decided to sit next to her. Annie seemed slightly shocked by this and looked at Gabriela.
"Hey Annie!" Gabriela gave her a friendly smile. "Are you okay?"
"Oh hi Gabriela, yeah I guess I'm okay, I'm just slightly nervous that's it." Annie said fiddling with her hands, "What about you, you don't seem nervous…"
Gabriela sighed at this. "I am…" Gabriela said running her hands through her black hair, "But I got the power of the female titan to! Somehow, I don't dare ask how Zeke gets all this power…" Gabriela said. "Problem is, I can't really control it, like I can't really transform."
"Well, we could use someone like you and Thomas spying on them. Who cares if you guys can't turn into titans…" Annie said smiling at Gabriela, Gabriela was the only person hat could make her smile she liked Thomas to but he wasn't as social as Gabriela was.
"Thomas..." She remembered what Thomas told her, keep the secret about the spinal fluid. But she couldn't help it Annie was her friend, "Don't tell him I said this, he has spinal fluid. So he can transform into any titan he wants to, well he has to eat someone first and then he gets the power…"
"What did I say…" Gabriela's body shook as she heard the rather booming voice of Thomas, which was surprising since he was still very young and not over 14. She just slowly turned around and saw Thomas standing right there. "Gabriela…." He didn't seem angry, and he sure as hell wasn't happy. He seemed more disappointed then anything, "I told you not to tell anyone for a reason."
"I'm… I'm sorry Thomas." Gabriela said refusing to make eye contact with the man.
"Thomas, I was talking about how you shouldn't use it. Because, you guys could be real useful as spies and who knows you guys could kill all of them without anyone even knowing…" Annie said looking at Thomas with a blank face, Thomas didn't know why but Annie scared him for some reason, like she was hiding something much deeper.
"That's what I figured, plus I'm not trying to change into a titan…" Thomas said looking at Annie, "Anyways, what were you guys talking about?"
"Just… being nervous." Gabriela said rubbing her arm, still feeling guilty that she told Annie about the case. Thomas would probably never trust her again, which was the thought that really hurt Gabriela.
"I wouldn't, these Eldian's don't know what's coming to them. We will just hit them hard and get out, they are inside walls they are living in fear. And when we strike…" Thomas said.
"I think she is more nervous about the travel there, remember there are still titans over there Thomas. They will kill us, they probably actually will aim for us and eat us, and that's when they turn back into humans." Annie stated, Thomas was surprised how much she knew about this and just raised his eyebrows at this statement, Annie saw this. "It's true."
"Thomas." Thomas turned his head and saw Reiner and Bertholdt standing right there, "You ready for this mission? Marcel is resting right now…" Reiner said.
"Yeah… guys we should get to bed…" Thomas said.
Year 845…
Gabriela, Thomas, Annie, Marcel, and Reiner had been walking for months now. They had encountered some titans along the way, and they were able to escape them with the help of Bertholdt's quick thinking. Everyone noticed something different about everyone, they were all getting taller, except Gabriela she was laughed at for staying so small. Thomas was actually growing now, which is strange considering that he was still smaller than Reiner, they were still only children.
Annie looked around and saw that it was getting to be dark, and she decided now was a better time than ever to set up the camp. They brought out canteens and Thomas had brought most of the boxes along with Reiner and Bertholdt considering they were the strongest in the group. They set up the camp and then started eating the rations they were given, "Hey guys…" Gabriela started to say something as everyone looked over at her.
"Mhm?" Annie asked looking at Gabriela.
"I just wanted to say, whatever happens. I love you guys…" Gabriela said, they saw the water canteen slightly shaking in her hands she was really nervous about this mission. Thomas didn't seem nervous at all even though he was the only one of the group who couldn't transform.
"We love you to Gabriela." Thomas said eating his ration, "We are warriors, we will get through this together…"
"Yeah, Gabriela we are all in this together." Reiner said as he took a huge gulp of his water, "Alright, we should get to bed soon. We don't want titans sneaking up on us…"
"Alright…" Gabriela said finishing up her food.
In the morning, everyone was cleaning up the place and Gabriela could've sworn that she felt something move in the ground. The ground felt slightly uneven, even when they came there Gabriela tripped on a rock like substance but didn't try to figure out what it was. Gabriela sensed that something was wrong, "Something on your mind?" Thomas asked looking at Gabriela, as he picked up wood.
"Nothing, it's just that I feel that something is near. It's weird, I guess I'm just being paranoid though…" Gabriela said looking at Thomas, she smiled. "Thanks for your concern…"
"No problem, that's what friends are for…" His voice cracked, Thomas covered his mouth dropping the sticks embarrassed of his voice crack as Gabriela smiled and giggled at this. "You heard nothing…" Thomas said reverting back to his old voice.
"Okay, big baby…" Gabriela said smirking and then helping him with the sticks, Gabriela's suspicions would be proved right though. As she heard dirt moving, her heart stopped along with Thomas's they both looked back seeing a titan come out of the ground. "Holy shit! Titan!" She shouted.
It was going after Reiner, the titan stretched out his arm and then attempted to grab him, but Marcel threw his body onto Reiner pushing him out of the way. The titan grabbed Marcel and they could only watch as Marcel was eaten, Thomas, Annie, Bertholdt, and Gabriela started running away from the titan. Reiner was still there and Bertholdt turned around and shouted for his friend, "Reiner! Come on!" Bertholdt shouted as Reiner stood there watching the titan bite into the head of Marcel. Reiner turned around and then started running, the titan didn't seem to chase them though they weren't taking any chances. They kept on running for hat seemed like hours, but adrenaline kept them going. The fact that they knew a titan was only yards away from them kept them running, stomping nearby only increased the adrenaline as they were extremely paranoid.
A titan coming out of the ground? That is ridiculous, a titan could come out of anywhere, it was especially crazy since they were near a forest and at any time a titan could come out. Thomas felt his legs burning and his shins almost breaking under the pressure, but he kept on running and so did Gabriela. Thomas was last and kept on hearing sounds, as he whimpered and kept on running. Gabriela saw something in the distance though, that's where all the stomping came from. Titans, a whole bunch of them coming down a hill far away, how the hell did they see them? More importantly, here the hell did they come from!
"Annie!" Reiner said looking at Annie, the titans were walking thankfully they weren't running but they were sure terrifying. "Time to transform!" Reiner said looking at her.
"No! They are far away!" Annie shouted as she stopped near a tree and breathed hard, "Now isn't the time especially since the wall isn't in sight!"
"No! Now! Is the god damn time!" Thomas shouted at Annie desperate and breathing extremely hard, Gabriela came to his care hitting his back but it didn't work.
"Marcel is gone! Even if I could transform it would do nothing…" Annie said, looking at Reiner. Reiner just pushed past Annie and then started running, "Reiner!" Annie shouted at him as she was out of breath and wondering how Reiner was getting all this adrenaline.
"Damn…" Bertholdt said putting his hands on his knees, "Reiner!" Reiner kept on running through and it seemed like his stamina was endless, it seemed like nothing was hurting on his body and Reiner just kept on running. Annie and Bertholdt kept on shouting at them as Thomas sat down against the tree with Gabriela regaining their breath.
"Oh god… my lungs are burning…" Thomas heaved as he laid on Gabriela, Gabriela didn't mind it for now Thomas was getting heavier and there was a lot of weight on her shoulders.
"My legs are dying…" Gabriela said looking at Thomas slightly, "I guess we are even…" Gabriela said raising a fist trying to fist bump Thomas, he saw it and then fist bumped Gabriela as he continued to heave, Thomas then started to close his eyes but was quickly slapped by Annie.
"Wake the hell up…" Annie said looking at Thomas, Thomas breathed hard at her. "We just slept, and we ran for about an hour that's it…" Annie looked at him with piercing eyes and Thomas got up and pushed Annie away which kind of shocked her making her stumble into Bertholdt.
"Reiner, he's gone." Thomas said looking out, "And the titans… are coming…" Thomas stated as he helped up Gabriela and then started walking with her, "He's going to run out of energy soon come on let's go."
Bertholdt and Annie just looked at them, Annie looked like she wanted to kill Thomas but Bertholdt saw that look in her eye. Annie tried to attack Thomas but Bertholdt held her arms and Annie looked back in shock, "Bertholdt…"
"Let it go…" Bertholdt said as he looked at Annie, Annie sighed and then started walking with them.
Soon they found Reiner, breathing hard. This time Bertholdt couldn't hold Annie back, Annie hit a swift kick to the side of Reiner as he was catching his breath. Reiner shouted and whimpered as he held his side, Reiner looked at them realizing who it was and he breathed hard. Annie had a look of anger in her eyes, Thomas looked to step in but this time Gabriela held his hand. "Don't…" Gabriela whispered.
"How could you leave us!" Annie shouted as she kept on kicking him in the jaw, Reiner held his jaw looking at Annie as she kept on coming with the knees to the dome and punches to. Reiner couldn't hit back because of how drained and tired he was after the other hour of running, Annie then kneed his gut multiple times and that's when Bertholdt looked to step in. But Reiner felt a huge surge of anger, he grabbed Annie by the neck and then put her in a rear naked choke. Annie grunted as she was slightly drained from the running.
"Reiner…" Thomas started to say as Reiner looked at Annie with rage. "That's… enough…"
They saw Annie fading but for some reason they were afraid, they were afraid to attack Reiner. Those were eyes and intentions that they have never seen before, Bertholdt cam over and then tore them apart, Annie skittered away as she started coughing hard on the ground spitting up some saliva in the process. Gabriela and Thomas came to the aid of Reiner and Bertholdt helped Annie, "Annie… come on…" Bertholdt said as he looked at Annie who was continuously coughing. "Breathe.."
Gabriela touched the hand of Reiner and then helped him up as he still looked extremely angry, Gabriela looked around and realized Thomas was looking at something. "Annie come on… we have to transform… we can't let them on top of us…" Thomas said, he was right the titans were coming closer. Even if they were running the titans long strides would catch up with them real quick.
"Okay…" Annie said feeling defeated and then walking away, Annie then looked at them as she bit herself. They looked away as they still felt the lightning strike down onto the earth causing it to shake slightly, they turned around and saw Annie in her titan form. They ran over to her and then put rope around her neck, so they could hold onto it while she ran. The titans saw her, and then some of them started running.
"Oh shit…" Reiner said looking back, "They run…"
Annie looked back and then started sprinting, they were all surprised and then grabbed the rope tighter. Thomas grabbed the rope with two hands slightly afraid that he might be thrown off, Gabriela looked to b the most afraid though because of the fact that she squeezed her eyes shut and grabbed the rope tight. Bertholdt saw that Gabriela was slightly crying, "Gabriela. It's going to be fine!" Bertholdt reassured her.
Gabriela didn't care, she kept on closing her eyes. Thomas felt the same way but he didn't want to close his eyes, after about 50 minutes Annie seemed to be running out of stamina. Marcel was actually supposed to run half of the way, but since he was dead Annie as running all of it. "I see the wall!" Gabriela shouted looking at it, it was approaching rather quickly, "Oh my goodness, it is much bigger than I thought…"
"Of course…" Reiner said as Annie picked up the pace, but they saw her face she was visibly tired. It looked like she was going to collapse as soon as she got out of the titan, Annie kept on sprinting to the wall for the final stretch and then collapsed onto the ground. The titans were gaining on them though. "Bertholdt now!"
Bertholdt ran to the wall and then bit himself, they all saw the lightning this time and felt the whole world shake as Bertholdt then changed into the colossal titan. His body turned red all over, Bertholdt looked over the wall and saw everyone look at his red head as it looked over. Bertholdt then raised his foot, and then kicked the wall, the wall broke so quickly and the intensity was so grave, rocks fell everywhere and then pierced people even the small pebbles pierced multiple people and the rocks destroyed the houses.
"Wait for Bertholdt…" Annie said as Thomas helped her out of her titan, he walked with her to Reiner who looked to bite himself already. The titans were gaining on them quickly, and then Bertholdt came out of his huge titan form. Crap… they didn't see the titan that walked up to them, it was a smiling titan and it was unbelievably eerie. Bertholdt just looked at the titan as he was getting out of the form, Bertholdt quickly ripped the flesh that was attached to him and he looked at the titan. Bertholdt then felt a titans hand on him, Bertholdt shouted but Annie calmed him down. "Bertholdt! It's us!"
Bertholdt saw the armored titan and his friends as Reiner started to climb the wall, Reiner kept on scaling the wall hardening his fingers so he is able to grip onto the wall. Thomas kept on grabbing onto the armor plates of the titan, finally they made it to the top of the roof. "Finally…" Gabriela whispered as they all hopped off of Reiner. "Alright Reiner, you know what to do next!" Gabriela said putting a thumb up.
Reiner in his titan form nodded at Gabriela and then went down the wall, they all heard the people screaming as the titans started coming in. Gabriela thought it was quite disturbing to hear the screaming, Annie looked disturbed but Bertholdt seemed more focused on the fact that he was extremely tired. Thomas looked over at them and he seemed completely lifeless in the face, it's like he didn't hear any of the screams down below. Or maybe he didn't care…. Which is even more disturbing.
They looked at Reiner down below, the cadets looked terrified of the titan. Reiner then got into a sprinting like position and the cadets started panicking as he got into that form, it actually was mostly because of confusion. "What the hell is he doing!" One of the cadets shouted.
"I don't know! And I don't care! Come on! Fire the cannons!" The cadets saw the armored titan charging at them, and then the cadets fired the cannons at them, the titan keeps on charging at them though as the cannons just hit the armor of the titan. Reiner charges past the other titans which were getting struck down easily, Reiner continues running and then stomps on the cannons and then burst through the wall of wall Maria. The titans poured into Shiganshina, and then Thomas just widens his eyes as he hears the cries.
"Come on, let's go… Thomas." Annie said looking at Thomas, they started walking across the wall and Gabriela felt herself fading, all she saw was smoke and blood. The overwhelming amount of blood made the smoke look red, and Gabriela fainted.
The next thing she remembers is waking up next to Thomas. Thomas was sleeping and Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie were awake. "Don't wake him…" Reiner said, "Were inside wall Maria, don't worry…"
"Oh…." Gabriela said as she still felt slightly groggy, they saw that they were in a rather nice place with children around them. "I guess…"
Bertholdt signaled for her to hush knowing what she would say. Gabriela just looked at Thomas and then felt his pockets, she felt the case in his pocket and was relived. Gabriela then laid back down and then decided now was a good time to sleep.
A few years later…
"Alright line up maggots!" A tall commander who was bald, and very intimidating. He was the scariest thing within the walls, maybe even outside the walls Gabriela looked at him and she yawned like she was bored. He introduced himself as Commander Shadis, he looked over at Thomas and all of us, realized Thomas had changed. He was now about 17 and he had a slight beard which was weird for his age, he stood over most people at 6'1 and his hair was long and black. Gabriela was still 5'2… Bertholdt stood over most people at 6'3, Gabriela thought Reiner was 6'0 considering that he was a bit smaller than Thomas. But she had no idea how tall Annie was, all she knew is that she was taller than her. Gabriela was ready for the insults as Shadis came over to all of them, but he didn't he just walked past them.
'Why the hell did he pass us?' She thought as she saw Shadis yell at a girl who was eating a potato. Thomas was confused as he looked over at Shadis, Thomas looked down at Gabriela who was also looking at Shadis. They both shrugged at each other and slightly smiled as the girl who's name was Sasha was continuing to eat the potato. Turns out she had to run…
"Alright… guys…" Reiner caught up with them and put his arms around all of his friends. "Our new life starts now, but always… remember what our goal is…."
"Yes sir…" Gabriela said as she felt Reiner's big hands on her shoulder, Annie looked pissed off and Bertholdt looked shocked. Thomas was also pissed off by this.
It was time, this was the beginning of the end.
