Nero walked the streets of Fortuna in the middle of the day. It had been eleven months since the Savior incident, and some of the townspeople were frightened of him. "Who could blame them?", he said to himself, "They should be lucky though, I helped Dante save their sorry asses" He remembered how Dante allowed him to keep his brother's sword Yamato after everything and wanting it back. "That's the only kind of gift worth giving", he remembered the half-devil say, "I want to entrust it to you, so I am" 'But why?', Nero thought, 'Why me?' "Hey kid", that unmistakable voice said, causing Nero to look up and see the red clad half-devil in front of him with a friendly smile on his face before giving the young devil a man-hug.

"What are you doing here, old man?", Nero asked. "I'd figured I would check up on you and my brother's sword", Dane responded. He pointed to Red Queen on Nero's back and said, "Looks like you're out hunting again" "Yeah", Nero said with annoyance, "The Order's been keeping me busy after everything here. We've rebuilt everything even the damage from our first fight" Dante chuckled at the memory, both knowing Dante let Nero win that fight. They soon began to walk back to his and Kyrie's apartment as Dante asked Nero how things had been between them.

Nero told him that he told her about Credo's death, which still stung Nero's heart. When he saw Credo get stabbed by Sanctus, he had never felt so helpless in his life watching the man he considered a brother fall as he was dying. Dante could see the pain in the young devil's eyes and sighed knowing the pain of a brother's death when Nero's right arm, his Devil Bringer, began to glow, signaling a demon close by. Both men nodded their heads and readied their guns as they hurried to find the demon. They found nothing as they soon turned into an alleyway, making Dante say, "They're around here somewhere. Keep your guard up" Nero nodded his head and kept his eyes open when a hissing sound from above him while feeling Dante shove him causing the young devil to stumble a bit and he turned to see the demon.

He never saw the demon as a bright light shined into his eyes, calling out for Dante who said, "Keep your eyes shut, kid! It won't take effect!" Nero tried to keep his eyes closed but a voice he doesn't recognize could be heard, causing him to open his eyes. "Kid!", Dante yelled, "Keep your eyes shut!" "There's someone in there!", Nero replied as he opened his eyes and he saw the light get brighter and brighter until suddenly his world went black with Dante yelling out his name.


Eren Jeager stood with his team on a rooftop in Trost, anger filling his eyes. It was like five years ago all over again, but this time he could do something; he wasn't a young child anymore, no, he was a solider fighting against the Titans. He stood with his best friend, Armin, and their teammates, Mina, Thomas, Mylius, and Nic. He saw a light illuminate in the distance and so did the others. "Eren", Armin said, "that light-" "I saw it too", Eren replied, "Let's check it out" Using their 3D Maneuver Gear, they headed to the source of the light only to find nothing. 'I know I saw that light', Eren thought.

Eren dismissed it and ordered his group to keep going. Eren knew something caused that light, but it wasn't there when his team got there. Did it get up and leave, whatever it was? Who caused the light and why? His questions couldn't be answered when an Abnormal out of nowhere attacked, causing everyone to scatter. The Titan moved its head to reveal Thomas in its mouth. Everyone saw this and were in shock except Eren, who felt his blood begin to boil as he watched the Titan walk away after swallowing Thomas whole. Eren chased off after the Titan with Armin following to stop Eren and the rest of the team ran after.


Nero opened his eyes with a groan. His head pounding as he remembered what happened, but as he looked around, Dante and the light were gone. 'Where the hell did Dante go?', Nero thought as he stood up. He could hear the sounds of loud thumping like a footstep walking like a zombie. He reached for Red Queen which thankfully was still on his back when he saw a gigantic creature. It looked human but from what he could tell it didn't have any reproductive body parts as it looked at him with this creepy smile on it's face. Nero saw it reach out to him but he quickly dodged it's hand and began to climb onto the rooftops. The Titan wasn't going to let Nero get away easily as get continued to reach out for him, causing the young devil to use Red Queen and cut it's hand. The Titan just looked at Nero and suddenly lunged at him, making Nero use his Devil Bringer on the Titan.

The Titan let out a pained scream as Nero saw his arm was causing the creature pain and as he let go, he noticed the Titan was slowly being eaten away when Nero used his Devil Bringer on it. Eventually, the Titan was nothing but a gigantic skeleton, making Nero think as he looked at his right arm, 'Where the hell am I?'
