Chapter 1:The Return of the Titans

"Years ago, mysterious beings known as the Titans appeared out of nowhere and nearly consumed all of humanity. The remaining survivors felt that they have lost to them, but hope had arrived. They were saved by another unknown being that was ten times their size and used some sort of energy that came running up the back. Before long, the gigantic creature had scared the Titans away and the humans were able to live. When the creature went away, never to be seen again, the humans built three massive walls to protect themselves from the Titans; just in case the creature doesn't come back to help them. They had a whole century of peace and were very sure that they are safe from harm. That is until one day when everything changed."

"Eren", Mikasa said. Eren woke up, laying on the side of a tree on top of a hill.

Mikasa smiled and held Eren's hand, but Eren started to stand and asked, "Uh Mikasa...How long was I out ?"

Mikasa was not really sure how long he was out for because she had found him already sleeping next to the tree. "I'm not sure, but we probably have to get back soon. Your parents might be worried," said Mikasa.

They both ran away from the hill and into the village until they saw their best friend, Armin.

"Hey guys !" shouted Armin. They all ran up to each other and greeted as always.

Armin said,"Did you two hear that the Scout Regiment has returned from their search ?"

Eren replied, "No way ! They have ?!"

It was not long until soldiers riding on horses came through the streets of the village. The three friends head towards the crowd that were gazing upon the soldiers. Only a few of them were wounded and most of the others...were dead. The crowd became shocked that some of their loved ones had been killed during the recent battle, but some people talked disrespectfully about the dead. This had made Eren angry, so he went and pushed them around, but they beat him and pushed him away.

"Those damn bastards don't even know how hard the Scout Regiment tried to find new land, so why would they talked trash about them anyway ?!" said Eren. Mikasa came up to him and said, "Let's just go home Eren, I don't need you to keep losing your temper all the time."

So Eren and Mikasa said goodbye to Armin and left. When they got home and ate dinner, Eren told his parents that he wants to be part of the Scout Regiment.

Surprised by his decision, his mother said, "Eren, why would you want to join that ? You know how dangerous it is, you could get killed."

Eren replied, "It doesn't matter, I want to see the outside world and explore with Mikasa and Armin."

"You want both of them to go outside the wall ?! Are you crazy, Eren ?!" shouted his mom. "You are not going to join that regiment or go outside the wall, do you understand me ?!", his mother stand up from the table and started washing the dishes.

Eren's father stood up from the table and took his things with him, but before he got his chance to leave the house, he said to Eren, "My son, when I come back, I want to show you a little something in the basement."

He took a key out of his pocket and showed Eren. Afterwards Eren's dad had left to work, but Eren was angry and left the house with Mikasa. They met up with Armin at a bridge and stared at the wall, imagining what it was like out there. While they hanged on the bridge, they shared stories about the outside world.

Armin said, "I once heard that there was water bigger than ponds and lakes called an ocean, but I never believed it." Mikasa replied, "Well, I learned that a giant creature bigger than the Titans lived in an ocean, but they couldn't find out what it looks like though." "Well that could be bullshit, there wouldn't be anything that big anyways. Plus, if there were something that big, it could have destroyed the walls already," said Eren.

Armin disagreed with Eren and said, "It is true Eren, I have heard that this creature actually help humanity attack the Titans. After the Titans were defeated by him, many people say that he disappeared somewhere. Then, they build these walls because they weren't sure if he ever returns."

Eren didn't really believed it, but the story was very convincing. Just as the friends were chatting, a sudden lightning struck near the walls. Smoke suddenly started appearing and a giant hand was placed on the wall. A face of a skinless person rose above the wall and looked down at the village. The gigantic being lifted up its leg and kicked the wall, which then made a giant explosion and a hole in the wall. After the Colossal Titan mysteriously disappeared, Titans started going through the wall and attacked the village. Afraid, the three friends went searching for their parents until Eren and Mikasa saw their house in rubble by a boulder. Eren and Mikasa found Eren's mom stuck under some debris.

"MOM !", yelled Eren. He ran towards her and tried to lift the debris up.

Mikasa came up to help Eren, but it was useless. A soldier with a 3DMG came to them and said,"You kids, you need to get out of here !"

Eren recognizes the soldier and said, "Mr. Hannes, you have to help Mikasa and I lift the debris from our mom."

Before they continued the conversation, a Titan was walking towards them. Eren's mother told Hannes to take the children away and he listened. He grabbed the children and ran away, but the Titan already got to them and grabbed Eren's mother. Eren screamed and Mikasa looked as they watched the Titan eat her. Before she got eaten, a boulder landed on the Titan and crushed it. Unexpectedly, they all became surprised and heard a roar. They all looked up and saw a bigger hole on the wall and a giant creature next to it. The creature had large spike-like structures on its back, which glowed a bright blue color. It started going into the village and took a bite out of the Titans. Losing focus on the humans, the Titans ran to the creature and attacked him. The creature took a deep breath and let out an amazing energy beam that vaporized the Titans completely. Eren, Mikasa, Mr. Hannes, and Eren's mother saw the creature in amazement as they watched it kill the Titans.

While the creature kills the Titans, Eren, Mikasa, and Mr. Hannes went back to get Carla and carried her towards the entrance of Wall Maria. However, a huge crowd was blocking the entrance and they were unable to get through them. With the creature giving the humans time to evacuate, Eren and the others were able to get through the entrance and into Wall Maria. Armin found his friends and lead them to riverboats where they were able to escape.

Once they were on the boat, Mr. Hannes said, "Now take care of your mother Eren, you have to protect your mother now. I need to go assist the other soldiers and make sure the Titans won't get through Wall Maria."

As he was about to leave, Carla stopped him and said, "Thank you Hannes for bringing us to safety."

Hannes felt happy and took off. Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Carla were now safe from the Titans and took a long trip towards the inner walls. Suddenly, an armored Titan was running towards the gates and the soldiers tried to fire cannonballs at it, but they had no effect. The Armored Titan burst through the gates of Wall Maria and had shocked everybody. Eren and the others looked at the Titan and realized that the creature did not help this time. However, the Armored Titan was about to make a move until a giant hand went through the hole of the wall and grabbed him. The Armored Titan was pulled away and tried to struggle free. After the creature lets go of the Armored Titan, it lifts its feet and tries to squish the Armored Titan. Although the attack missed, the Armored Titan grabbed hold of the creatures tail and climbed up its back. The creature was unable to reach the Titan, but the Titan already got on top of its head. The Armored Titan jumped as high as he can and slammed his fists on the creature's head.

While the creature and the Armored Titan were fighting, Eren thought to himself, "Who is that giant and why is he on our side ?"

Confused, Eren kept thinking to himself about the creature and it had concerned Mikasa. She laid her head on his shoulder and slept. Eren felt strange when Mikasa slept next to him, but he got tired and slept. The mystery of the creature was still unknown and the people were glad that it had helped them survived.
