Hey guy's! If you read my profile lately(or whenever this story came up) then you know I'm doing a Attack on Titan story. Lately I've been frustrated with school so I need to get back into writing to help calm my head down and keep me from smacking some of the students upside the head because of the idiocracy that happens there. I might put some German and French into the story, but only if ya'll agree. Eren's personality will be more in the leadership department and slightly like Mikasa's as, lets face it, she's a badass.

Story name and summery shall be chosen you. Also the pairing and the rating! Edit: Poll is now up! Edit2: Based on a review, which i thought was a pretty good one, i am removing the first part.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but OCs that come from my head.

Third Person POV

In one of the storage room in the Trost (there was no info on what city it was) district, Eren was lying there, unconscious. When he came to, it was night (here is the divergence of the story) and he felt something, like a stiff piece of paper, in his pocket. When he pulled it out, he saw that it was a letter. He opened it and began to read it:

"Eren,

I know that you might have some memory loss as to what happened last night. I might can help with that. You might not like it, but trust me, it will help humanity in the long run. I have given you a gift, one that can, if you choose, be the savior or destruction of the human race. But for you to understand, i must tell you of my origins.

I was born outside the Walls. In Titan-held territory. There is a village, i was born in it. The people there were born with the ability to turn into a Titan. Because of this, i too, was born with the ability. Last night, i did something i was not proud of. I did something that you may or may not forgive me for. I killed an entire family, because of the fact that they had something that could help humanity for the past 100 years, but refused to do so. And i ate one of the family members, the one that currently had the ability to help.

Last night, i gave you a serum, one that i will explain the contents in a bit, that can turn a human into a Titan. Then i willingly got you to eat me. Doing so pasted the ability to you and turned you into a Titan-shifter. All i ask of you is to help humanity, even if you won't consider yourself human. But who knows now. Just don't tell anyone about this, not even Armin and Mikasa. If people knew about this, it could start a conflict greater than the Titans. The contents of the serum i gave you are as followed: (AN I'm changing everything about his Titan form greatly)

+ 20m Titan form

+ Crystallization (Armor)

+cAdvanced Healing Rate

+ Increased Speed and Strength

+ an ability you got from me, Telepathy

And as for the ability, i leave it to you to figure it out and make sure no one sees you transform. Just bite your hand to transform, and i would practice with your form so as to get practice before fighting with it. Control your Titan side, otherwise it will become a threat in the future. Start with a short time in the body, maybe 20 minutes at first, and slowly increase the time. As for this note, you can decide rather to burn it or mark off names of importance. Kinda like a censorship, block off important information.

Sincerely your Father, Grisha

PS I wrote this before turning you so as to help explain everything."

At some of the stuff in the letter, Eren was horrified by the stuff his father did, but slightly agreed that it might have been for the greater good. But he was also confused. Why him? Why did his father give him the ability and the responsibility of humanities freedom? Why couldn't he do it himself? Eren suddenly remembered everything that happened last night. They were at the Reiss Chapel when Eren told his dad of Carla's death. He then took him inside the Chapel and killed everyone there, but one. One that might become a threat in the future.

His dad then dragged him into the forest and knocked him out. When he came to, his dad stuffed a letter into someones hands and said some stuff and the person nodded before his dad shoved a needle into Eren's arm. Then everything went black.

Eren decided to sneak out to start his practicing. But the challenge was getting back before Armin or Mikasa woke up. He could say he went to the bathroom? That could work. He snuck out quite easily, dodging everyone that was currently out at this time of night. And when he got to the gate that leads to, the newly made, Titan-Human boundary, he snuck past the guards and outside.

He had to go out further, so as to not be seen turning. He went a couple km south before he bit his hand.

Eren's POV

The taste of warm iron filled my mouth as i bit through the skin and muscle on the area that connects my thumb to the rest of my hand. Then something weird happened. I felt electricity run through my body, and suddenly i could see that i was much tall. So this is my Titan form. Fate has a cruel sense of humor. Not even a day ago, i vowed to destroy all Titans; but thanks to my father, i partially become one.

In my peripheral vision, i saw a 15m heading towards me. I decided to try the armor thing, and as i thought of it, my hand encased itself with a clear looking rock that whitened itself. It looked a lot like concrete. I punched with all my might, and as my foot made contact the Titan burst into a shower of skin and guts. As in started healing, i crushed the nape of its neak. It died then and there.

I saw that the sun was starting to rise, so i pulled at the nape to exit. It worked and i was able to get out that way. I made my way back to the gate. No guards were there so i got back in without being seen. When i got back to the storehouse, Mikasa was trying to wake Armin up. "Mikasa..." I said to get her attention. She hurriedly looked at my direction, she looked furious. "Where were you, Eren?" She asked me. "I went to use the bathroom." I said nonchalantly, even though i was doing none of the sort. She seemed to have bought this answer, "Ok. Now, help me get Armin up." She ordered me.

I saw a bucket with a cup by it, and i walked up to it and filled the cup with some water. I then walked over to Armin and slowly poured the water on his face in a nice gentle stream. He woke up once the water hit his face. And he looked towards me with shock written on his face. "Sorry Armin, but we couldn't wake you up." I told him. He then looked at Mikasa for conformation, to which she nodded and he sighed. "Can you hand me something to dry my face then please?" I responded to this by handing him the blanket i was sleeping on when i woke up. He took it great fully and rubbed it on his face to clear it of the offending liquid.

Then, suddenly, a bell rung. "What is that for?" Armin asked. "Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that they are handing out rations today. One bread loaf to last us a day." I said, mentioning what i heard from some of the people when i was sneaking out. "Why one loaf?" Mikasa asked, but this time Armin answered "They have had a food shortage even before the fall of Wall Maria. I'm surprised that they are even giving out rations." "So do we get one bread for all of us, or more?" I asked them so we can go. I'm going to save mine up that way i won't be hungry after turning. "I guess that we can get at least two loafs today and tomorrow. We can even save up some of the food." Armin came up with. Armin's grandfather then walked up and told us he will get the loafs.

We decide to work on the field to help with the food shortage problem. Then i accidentally let slip that i was going to join the 104th trainees squad to fight the Titans. Mikasa said that she would also join if i joined, Armin said that he was not sure but that he might. "Hey, if i do join, can you guys help me keep up. As i am more brain than brawn." Armin asked us and we agreed immediately. After we agreed, Armin's grandfather walked in with the loafs on his person. "Here are your loafs." He spoke in a deep, croaky voice.

TIMESKIP

Third Person POV

As the year went on, those from Wall Maria; including Eren, Mikasa, and Armin; were sent to the fields in a plan to help with the shortages in food, but even so they only grew enough food that is the equivalent of less than a third of the original supply after the fall of Maria. It was not enough to stop the shortages. The government then summoned two hundred and fifty thousand able bodied citizens, Armin's grandfather included, to retake Wall Maria. Even so a little over one hundred survived. Armin's grandfather died saving another, forced, soldier. One that was one of the survivers, and he handed Armin his grandfather's hat.

Eren, during the year, kept sneaking out at night. He trained till he was tired, and kept adding onto the time in his Titan form. He can now be in it for nine hours with a few minutes in between sessions. He kept getting stronger and stronger. He was now able to encase his entire body in armor, or concrete if you want. He kept a log of his sessions hidden under a plank of wood, which he would need to move once he joins the trainee camp.

Not much could be said about Mikasa. She just kept Eren and Armin in check, while being the one to get them food. She also saw Eren sneaking out and, against her better judgement, she just let it go. She thought it was no big deal.

It was only three more months before they would enlist.

TIMESKIP

"Hey you! Who the hell are you!" The commandant, man namee Keith Shadez, yelled at Armin. "Armin Arlert, from Shiganshina District!" Armin yelled back, the symbol of a soldiers oath to humanity showing proudly on him. "That is a ridiculous name! Did your parents give it to you?!" He asked. "My grandfather did sir!" Armin answered back. "Arlert, why are you here?!" Shadez at him. "To help humanity achieve victory!" Armin yelled. "That's wonderful to hear! We can feed you to the Titans!" Shadez yelled back. He continued to do so to a few more people, skipping Mikasa and Eren.

"Today will be a free day, but only to set up your living quarters and dinner. Dismissed!" The commandant yelled to his new Cadet squad. They then all left, some started heading towards the wagon that takes them to the fields, saying that they quit. "Hey, why are some leaving?" Asked Connie, one of the cadets that Eren and Armin are bunking with. "Because they quit." Eren said with no emotion. "This place is for those who have the guts do fight. If you can't make it through a day her, then you are not fit to be a soldier." He added on, showing a cold persona that Armin sometimes sees at times but not to this extent. Maybe it was the soldier inside him showing itself, but Eren knew what it was. It was a probable side effect of his Titan side, the Titan is a warrior it cannot be contained. But it can be restrained.

The dinner bell rung, and they all headed to dinning hall, Connie then asked "Hey, Eren. Where are you from exactly?" "I'm from Shiganshina, just like Armin." Eren replied. "So...wait! Does that mean you saw the Colossal Titan?" Joshua, another Cadet, asked. "Yeah." Eren and Armin both replied. "What was it like?" Joshua asked of them. "Well it appeared to lack skin entirely and its jaw and facial structure seem to be heavily altered from that of a normal humans. Also he was exerting a shit ton of steam." Eren explained. "He was also at least seven times taller than the tallest Titan we saw before it." He then added on. Before any other questions could be asked, they reached the dinning hall.

Dinner was a soup with some carrots in it and half a loaf of bread. Everyone was eating quietly before Connie asked Eren a question. "So Eren, what regiment are you planning on joining?" Eren looked at him incredulously before stating, "The Survey Corps." This got a snicker out of a single cadet, Jean, while the others looked at him shocked. "Did you just say you were joining the Scout Regiment?" Jean asked. "Yeah, that's right." Eren answered without a care in the world. "Aren't you the one who wants to join the Military Police? I'm gonna guess you just want to join so you can get a nice and comfy life in the interior. Am i right? Or wrong?" Eren quired Jean, becoming cold with each word said. "Well duh. Why else would anybody join? At least i don't have a death wish." He stated. "Then you are a coward." Eren stated simply, watching as a vain appeared on Jean's head.

"What did you say?" He asked quietly. "You heard me. You are a coward." Eren then shrugged as if it was no big deal. "At least i'm not suicidal!" He retorted. "But at least i'm not hiding from the Titans. We are soldiers are we not? If so, then face the fact that all of us will face a conflict soon. We all will be in at least one battle. The sooner you learn that, the better off you are." Eren then got his empty bowl, placed his napkin that once held his bread in the bowl, and put it in the washing tray. He then left.

Eren's POV

I left as soon as i could before things turned ugly. What are these guys thinking? They joined the military, they are soldiers, and soldiers fight. That is the basic concept. To me, anyone who joins the Stationary Guard and the Military Police are cowards. They don't fight worth shit. The Survey Corpsmen are true heroes. They are risking their lives to help humanity, while the others are getting drunk and fat. That Jean guy better watch out, i will taske no crap from anyone. I snuck out of the camp after leaving a note to Armin about where i'm heading. Well, i told him that i was going to look around the camp for a bit.

As i was walking out of camp, i felt a hand on my shoulder and i looked up and saw the commandant beside me. "Mr. Jäger, i need to talk to you for a minute." He said quietly. I followed him to his place were he sat down at a desk. I sat in a chair infront of it and waited for the yelling i was likely to received.

"I know about you, Eren." He said, surprising me as he didn't yell.

"Know about what, sir?" I asked him confused as to what he means.

"Your father gave me the letter to put in your shirt pocket when you turned back." He said. It was then that i recognized him. He was the one my dad was talking to when i woke up. "How? And why are you not arresting me yet?" I asked of him. "Well, me and your father go way back. Back to when i brought him inside the Walls. And the reason i'm not arresting you, is that i witnessed it. And it was your fathers wish that i look after you while you are here." Shadis explained to me.

"So, why were you leaving the camp?" He quired me. "To practice." I said simply. "Ummm... Ok, i'll help you." He said, again surpassing me. "With what?" I was confused as what he could teach me. "Hand to hand combat. It would be useful in your Titan form. Also, i'll help you get out of the camp so you can turn peacefully without notice. But that doesn't mean you will get special treatment." He told me. I nodded and made to leave when he got up and, once again, led me through camp.

Armin's POV

I just finished my dinner and headed towards my barrack with Connie and Joshua. When i opened the door, i was met with a sight i didn't expect. Eren wasn't here but a note was let on the bed.

"Armin,

Don't worry, i'm just taking a look around the camp for a bit. Feel free to tell Connie and Joshua.

"Hey, where's Eren?" Joshua asked. "He left a note saying he is going to look around the camp for a bit." I answered him, satisfying his thirst for knowledge. "Well he better hurry up, otherwise the commandant will get on his case." Connie said. He better hurry up, or else.

Eren's POV

We reached a clearing about twenty km north of camp out of eyesight from both Wall Sina and camp. Shadis hid himself in a safe position, and i bit myself. The feeling of warm iron filling my mouth was natural as i turned. Even twenty meters tall no one can see me. "Now Eren. Get into a fighting stance." I did as he told me and put my fist in front of my face, left hand being the closest. "Ok. Now harden your fist." I did as he told me to and hardened my fist. "Now copy my movements." I nodded and he threw a long and strong right swing at the punching bag. For the next hour or so we continued doing training exercises before calling it a day. We rode our horses back to camp.

As i entered the barrack i'm staying in, the others immediately pounced on me. "Where were you Eren?!" All three yelled at me at once. "Well, i looked around camp for a bit before having a pretty long conversion with the commandant." I said nonchalantly. All three of them looked at me bug eyed. "You actually had a nice conversion with him?" Connie asked. "Yeah. He's not so bad once you get to know him." I shrugged and said "We need to get to bed. We have ODM gear training for the entire week." They all nodded and went to bed.

TIMESKIP

Third Person POV (AN so what do you all think of my OC Joshua? He will be main player in the story so expect to see more of him!)

"We'll begin by determining your aptitude. If you can't even do this you are not even fit to be bait." Shadis yelled. Eren was not being tested as once he got hooked onto the simulator, he fell backwards. Shadis noticed that the belt clip was broken, so until he can get a replacement, Eren will help hold one of the other Cadets up. Mikasa was a natural, she just stood still and let it hold her up. Armin, after some trouble, began to get the hand of it. Joshua had some trouble with the gear, and by trouble i mean he messed up putting it on. He needed help fixing it, so Eren decided to be nice and help him out.

At dinner, Eren decided to skip it to avoid problems with a certain Cadet. So he decided to talk to Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, two Cadets that immediately got the hang of the ODM gear, and asked them to give him tips so he can be ready once his new gear gets here. They said that using less gas always helps, but that it was purely skill with the gear. Where you shoot is also a chance of death.

Eren decided to seek out Shadis to get more tips about the ODM gear. He couldn't give anymore tips after Eren explained what Reiner and Bertolt said. Shadis then said that Erens gear has got here and, after an checking it for any defects, gave it to Eren.

TIMESKIP

Eren got ready to do his aptitude test. It was Joshua holding him up. And just like Mikasa, Eren was a natural at the gear. He stood completely still like her. When suddenly the line that Joshua was holding broke and Eren was finished early. Keith stated that was the oldest piece of rope they had. It was bound to break at some point.

At dinner, which Eren joined this time, everyone was quiet. Well almost everyone, as the table Jean was at were talking about the ODM training. Jean was boasting about his skill with the gear. "If i remember right, i saw you loss your balance quiet a few times." Eren said to Jean but not look at him. "Well at least i didn't fall on my face the first time." Jean retorted to the one thing, in his mind, that can ruin his chances with the Military Police. "That was for a different reason. If you remember, my first gear had a default clip. So it was inevitable that i fall." Eren replied calmly. "Well at least i don't have conversations with the commandant!" Jean yelled back, shocking everyone that he has converses with the commandant.

"So what? My father was good friends with him." Eren replied, shocking everyone that his father was a friend of the commandant. "What?!" Jean said. Who is this guys father?! "Who is your father? Are you some spoiled brat?!" Jean demanded. Everyone was looking at the conversation back and forth. "My father was a doctor. And no, if anything your the spoiled brat." Eren said in a less than friendly tone, the soldier in him coming out once more. "How am i the spoiled brat?!" Jean was pissed, how dare he talked to a future MP like that! "Simple answer, you want to live a life few can receive. A life in the interior is what you need. But, how come only the top ten can get away from the Titans? Simple, the better you are at fighting Titans, the more you can get away from them. Unlike you, along with those who plan on joining the Stationary Guard or the Military Police Brigade, if you get in my way, well it won't be pretty."

Eren then got up and left. Armin and Mikasa followed a few seconds after regaining their wits and followed suit. The caught up to him easily, as if he expected them to come. "Eren, what was that about?" Mikasa asked him while Armin catches his breath. "I'm sorry, but that kid is grating my nerves. I don't understand why he wants a comfy life. Life is never comfy, the sooner he learns that the better." Eren replied, then he looked at Armin. "We need to increase Armin's endurance that way he can keep up with the training." Eren told Mikasa, who just now saw that Armin was on his knees breathing heavily. She nodded.

"Ok, we start now. Armin, me, you, and Mikasa if she wants, are going to do a complete lap around the camp. Then we can go to bed and do so again tomorrow night." Eren finished, helped Armin up and they both started jogging, with Mikasa not far behind.

TIMESKIP

Eren's POV

After me and Armin finished our first training session, we headed to our barrack. Connie and Joshua were still up when we walked in. "Where were you guys." Connie asked, agitated that i was missing again, but this time Armin was gone to. "I was trying to strengthen Armin's endurance. Did a complete lap around camp." Eren said simply. Connie could see that Armin was ready to pass out, so he accepted the answer. "We better head off to bed." Eren ordered his barrack. They complied and went to bed.

3 YEAR TIMESKIP

Shadis' POV

At first, i thought everyone here, excluding the exceptions, were spoiled brats. Everyone was showing off, especially Jean, their prowess in a certain field. Then they all did a turn around. Everyone stopped boasting, but almost everyone stirred clear of one person; Eren. He became a leader figure to some, and somewhat like me to others. It was like he kicked them all in the ass, moved them into gear.

Eren, while not number one so far but very close, is the one who takes being a soldier more seriously than the others. He practices with his Titan form one night, then the other is solely for the purpose of tutoring Armin; like a gym instructor. Armin is a genius in the theoretical department of training, but not much in the physical department even with Eren's help. Mikasa is so far number one in rank, it is like she is the perfect soldier. But she follows Eren as if he were the leader of their group.

The ones who follow Eren practically see him in a leadership role. Even though some of them have leadership qualities also. Reiner Braun can work with anyone and can keep his head straight. The others rely on him for most of their problems. Even though he will work with Eren, Bertolt, and Annie most of the time. Joshua Colt, who bunks with and follows Eren, is highly skilled in the ODM gear and slicing the nape of Titans. Samantha Copper, a girl from Shinganshina, also follows Eren and is more proficient in healing others. Bertolt Hoover, while not as aggressive as Eren can be, can also work with others, but not as friendly as Reiner. He is also highly skilled in combat.

They are currently working on hand to hand combat. Eren, because of his sessions with me, was the one most proficient with hand to hand combat. Armin was also doing good, being trained by Eren helped out. Mikasa was not present as earlier she asked me if she can go to the bathroom. I had granted her request. Now i was watching they do the training exercise.

Eren's POV

It was me and Reiner fighting, with Reiner being the Rogue and me defending myself. Reiner rushed at me with the wooden dagger, and i knocked his legs out from under him. He then got back up with a grunt and rushed me again. This time, i used the palm of my hands. I placed my left one on his chest and threw my right hand for a punch. He stepped back, and grabbed his face. It was bleeding. "Uggg... You got me good. I'm going to wash off the blood now." He left to get some water, but i could have sworn that i saw steam. Thinking it was either a trick of the light, or he was also a Shifter, i put it out of my mind.

I saw Annie walking around unnoticed again, so i decided to see if she was a good hand to hand combatant. "Hey Annie!" I yelled to her, which got her attention. "Do you want to spar?" I asked her, offering the dagger. She looked at it for a second before grabbing it. We both got into position, my in the fighting stance i like to use, which surprised her, and her holding the knife in an icepick grip. She rushed at me and i sidestepped to the right while pushing my left elbow out at the right time. She was knocked to the left of me, or in her case to her right. She prepared to rush me again when i surprised her by rushing. Before i got to her, i dropped to the ground and swung my right leg out, knocking her to the ground. Before she could recover, i leaped at her, took the knife, and held it by her neak. "Do you yield?" I asked her. "I-I yield." I let her go and helped her up. We both nodded to each other and parted ways.

I saw Armin near by taking a drink of water. "Hey Armin, hows training?" I asked my oldest friend. "I'm good. Well if you count good as getting your ass beat two out of three times." He replied sarcastically. "No need to be rude. I'm just asking." I told him. "So how was your fight with Annie?" Armin asked me. "She's good, but relies to much on speed rather than predicting the actions of her opponent." I replied, stating the only flaw in her fighting style. "So, who did you fight?" I asked him, not knowing who he fought. "I fought Samantha. And fuck she can hit hard!" He stated, earning a devilish grin from the blond. "It's not my fault that you can't tame a hit from me." She boasted proudly. I looked at her and stated, "Watch your boasting. It could be your downfall." She looked at me before accepting my instruction.

TIMESKIP

Third Person POV

"Attention!" Keith screamed at the top of his lungs at the Cadets in front of him. "Now, those who are called up the stage are the top ten cadets. We will call them up from the tenth place to first place." Everyone waited for the top ten to be called. "Armin Arlert is rank number 10. Marco Bott is rank number 9. Jean Kirstein is rank number 8 (AN the reason Krista, Connie, and Sasha are not in the Top 10 is because it will fit in my idea for the story(PS you will soon learn more about my OC's!)) Joshua Colt is rank number 7. Samantha Copper is rank number 6. Annie Leonhart is rank number 5. Bertolt Hoover is rank number 4. Reiner Braun is rank number 3. Eren Jäger is rank number 2. And Mikasa Ackerman is rank number 1." The commandant yelled to them. The cadets that were called previously, walked up and immediately did a soldiers oath to humanity (i think that is what the right fist over your heart and left fist behind your back is called)

Eren, looked at the Cadets beside him proudly. They finally did it. They made it to the end. And now, Eren can fight. Fight the Titans. And make them pay. Make them rue the day they broke through Wall Maria. But now is not the time for such thoughts, now it is to celebrate their accomplishments. Everyone can now make good on the kaths they took. Even if he does not consider himself human anymore, i won't stop him from helping it, rather in Titan form or human form.

2 HOURS LATER

"Are you sure you three are not joining the Military Police?" Thomas Wagner asked Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. "Yeah, it was never the plan to join the MP's. Rather we were top ten or not, we are joining the Survey Corps." Mikasa explained, never missing a beat. "Ok. But... What would happen if you get killed?! We can't beat the Titans. Everytime we fight them, more of us are lost!"

Wagner was starting to panic, before Eren walked up to him and smacked him. "Get a hold of your self Cadet Wagner. We are soldiers now. It is NOT the time for panicking. So get a spine and control your self." Eren spoke in a voice a commander, stopping Wagner before he did a oath "Yes sir!" Wagner yelled. Everyone looked at the scene with slight scared looks before Reiner stepped up. "It was also my plan to join the Survey Corps. So i see why Eren would be serious most of the time. No goofing off or panicking, you have to have nerves of steel to join the Corps." He then turned to Eren. "Was it necessary to slap him though?" He pointed to Thomas when he said 'him'. "He was panicking. That is a way to stop it." Eren shrugged. Reiner looked amused, "It is also hilarious. You looked like the Commandant on the first day." Reiner then laughed.

Eren decided to talk to the Commandant so as to know what they all are doing tomorrow. Once he reached Keith's place, he knocked on the door and waited. Keith opened the door a minute later, "Eren. What do you need?" He asked one of his pupils. "Sir, what are we doing tomorrow?" He asked. "You all will be traveling to Trost District and helping mount the cannons to the Walls." He informed Eren, who nodded and left to tell everyone else.

And that is thr first chapter of whatever you want to name the story! It was so loooonnng. And how do you like the new Eren? Armin? Mikasa? My OC's? Until next time, R&R.
