Attack on Titan: Bonds of Destiny

Chapter 1

Stohess is in disarray and discord. Civilians are fleeing for their lives. The Military Police are trying to keep them calm. Members if the Scouting Legion are moving toward the battle, As they moved closer to the battle, they saw buildings get destroyed by two Titans fighting one another. And these are not ordinary Titans that are fighting, they are Titan Shifters. Their names are Eren Jaeger and Annie Leonhardt.

It was a moment ago when Eren, Armin, and Mikasa found out Annie is the Female Titan. Eren and Armin didn't want to believe that Annie is the Female Titan. They didn't want to believe she is the reason so many of their teammates and friends were killed during the last scouting mission. Mikasa, on the other hand, didn't need any more reason to believe Annie is the Female Titan. She drew her blades ready to capture Annie. Annie attempted to shift, but Armin gave a signal shot. Multiple soldiers moved in and restricted her.

Eren made to go up there, but Mikasa stopped him. Annie glared her, and managed to lift her hand. Using her thumb, she flicked down a mini blade from the ring. Mikasa knew what was going to happen. She grabbed Eren and Armin by their collar and pulled them further down the underground tunnel. Annie flicked her thumb over the blade cutting it. A bolt of lightning shot down as Annie shifted explosively destroying the surrounding area and killing those who held her.

As Titan Annie made to escape, Mikasa and Armin are trying to free Eren. It seems he got impaled by a large wooden pole. After they couldn't get it to budge, Eren told them to go after Annie. They didn't want to, but they had no choice. They left to stop Annie from escaping, promising Eren that they will be back.

As they caught up, they saw other soldiers battling Annie. They saw a lot of bodies meaning they died fighting Annie. Mikasa moved forward to fight Annie as Armin saw Jean arrive. Back to Eren, he couldn't do much. The wooden pole prevents any kind of movement. Eren then began thinking of everything that happened up to that point. Once reflected on it all, he came to a decision. He will be the one to kill Annie. He slowly and painfully sat up which forces the wooden pole deeper, but it didn't matter. For at that moment, he shifted into his Titan form.

Annie is now making her way to the Walls. She managed to knock out Mikasa, though she tried to kill her. She then heard something in the distance. She didn't know what it was, but it was coming closer and louder. The suddenly, the wall beside her head broke apart as a fist appeared. Surprised, she moved back in time to avoid it. The next second, Titan Eren appeared.

Eren attacked again only for Annie to block. She then began to run from Eren to find more open space. More to stop the Scouting Legion from joining in. She knew she couldn't fight Eren and the Scouting Legion at the same time. She has to get to an open area so the Scouting Legion can't use their 3DM gear. Eren chased after Annie. He tries to attack Annie, who avoids him. Annie then arrives to an open area. She stops and turns to face Eren.

The fight began as the Scouting Legion lands on the roof to watch. Annie had the advantage due to her advance defenses. She landed a few critical blows to Eren, but due to his rage, he is able to still fight. Eren then struck Annie into a building. If Annie didn't crystallize her body, Eren would've done more damage. Soon Annie chose to try and escape over the Wall. Eren gave chase to her again. He managed to catch up to her again. Annie crystallized her left leg and kicked Eren's right leg, taking it clean off. This caused Eren to fall into the building. She then kicked him, but he caught her leg with his teeth.

As Annie remembers her father, she deals critical blows to Eren's head. After multiple blows, Eren's teeth slacken. Annie removes her leg and continues to the wall. She reaches to another area and sees the base of the Wall. She began to move toward it till she heard something. She looks up and saw Eren coming toward her fast. His body is burning from excessive regeneration.

Shocked that he is still able to move, Annie made to get to the wall. Eren caught her and dragged her to the ground. After a moment, Eren gripped her face and crushed it. Annie screamed out in pain. Before Eren could do more damage, she kicked him back. She then got to the Wall. Crystallizing her fingers, she began to climb it. Eren soon jumped and grabbed Annie, attempting to pull her down. However, Annie kicks him off and climbs again.

Halfway up, however, Mikasa came up and slices Annie's fingers off. Mikasa then landed on Annie and told her to fall. Annie fell down as Mikasa used her 3DM gear to catch herself. Annie hit the ground hard which dazed her. Eren then pounces on her. Swiftly, Eren bit off the part that covers Annie and then-he stops. The reason he stopped was he saw Annie crying. Then suddenly, a flash of light occurred, much to Eren's surprise. He and Annie began to fuse; however, Levi came and cut Eren from his Titan form. This allowed Annie to encase herself in crystal as Eren fell unconscious.

Eren slowly woke up and saw Mikasa looking at him, worried. He sat up, which Mikasa helped him. He had strange markings around his eyes. Maybe it's from being in his Titan form for so long. He looked around and asks where Annie was. Mikasa looks down, then over toward the one in question. Eren looked and saw a group of people around a large crystal. And from closer inspection, he saw Annie inside. Jean tried to break the crystal open to no avail. Eren stood and walks over along with Mikasa.

They arrived and looked at the encased Annie. Eren looked at her and remembered that she had cried. It's for that reason that he stopped. It was that reason he didn't devour her. Now, more than anything-he want to be with her, to hold her, to comfort her. He leaned down and placed his hand on the crystal. Then he began to slowly go into the crystal much to everyone's shock and surprise. They tried to get Eren away from the crystal to no avail. Eren became fully engulf in the crystal. The others tried to do the same, but they couldn't go through the crystal like Eren did. Knowing there is nothing they can do, Hanji ordered the soldiers to get a net to take the crystallized Annie and Eren to the Survey Corps headquarters.

Three years has passed since that day. Life moves on as they still trying to break the crystal, though they are closer than they were before. Battling the Titans are becoming easier and easier. But they didn't expect this to happen. In the underground chambers where they are holding Eren and Annie, the crystal surrounding them began to crack and break open. Then suddenly, it all broke at once freeing the two inside. Both fell to the ground as the crystal fell around them. They was motionless for a few moments. Then Eren's eyes twitched lightly as he slowly woke. The markings around his eyes are gone, though it is unknown how since he was in a crystallized state. He looked over toward Annie who was still sleep.

If Eren had to be honest with himself, he believed Annie looks cute when she sleeps. If Eren didn't know her like he did, he wouldn't have believed that she was a trained warrior who is also a Titan Shifter. He and Annie had been through a lot. And yes, they both fought as Titans, but that didn't stop the feelings he has for her. No, his feelings for her are stronger than ever. With that thought, he leaned down toward her and pressed his lips to hers. It was soft and gentle, yet it held a lot of love. This caused Annie to slowly wake up. She briefly kissed back believing it's the guy she is dreaming about. When she opened her eyes, it really was the guy she was dreaming about. Eren pulled back quickly when he felt her kissed back. Annie sat up slowly and looked at Eren, who put up his arms.

"It wasn't what it looked like!" Eren states.

"…" Annie responds. Eren prepared to be attack, meaning he is getting prepared to be dropped on the back of his head. But Annie asks:

"…Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why you stop?"

"Uh…you want me to kiss you?" Annie blushed and nodded. Eren swallowed and crawled back over to Annie. Both of them are nervous though not sure how nervous the other was. Eren stood in front of Annie on his knees as she looks up at him. Eren moved part of her hair back as he held her cheek. They leaned toward one another as they looked one another's eyes. Their lips met which sent fireworks throughout their bodies. The kiss started out soft and gentle, and then it became intense and passionate. Annie held onto Eren tightly. Eren licked her lips asking for permission. Annie parted her lips as Eren entered her mouth with his tongue. He explored he mouth, and came to enjoy it. It tastes like winter fire. Eren's hand rose up into Annie's hair, deepening the kiss. Annie moans into the kiss as her grip on Eren tightens. The two pulls back for air.

"…I love you, Annie." Eren breathes. It's been a long time since she heard those words. She always heard them from her father. She never expected to hear them from another person. She looked into Eren's eyes and replied:

"…I love you, too, Eren." Eren smiles warmly which she warmly returns. They resumed the kiss passionately. Annie then removes Eren's shirt, much to his surprise. But as he looks into her eyes, he knows what she wants. He lowers her jacket down as they kiss once again, only more lustfully. They removed each other clothes and made hot, intense passionate love to one another. An hour later, they were in each other's arms covered with a white sheet they found in the room.

"That was amazing…" Annie breathes.

"Yeah…though it's only because it's with you." Eren replies. Annie smiles as she snuggles into Eren who held her closer.

"How much do you think changed?"

"Dunno…guess we'll find out tomorrow." Annie nodded as she closed her eyes.

"Good night, my fiery prince." Eren smiles and said:

"Good night, my icy princess." The two then fell asleep, waiting for tomorrow to come.
