This takes place right after the events of the season one finale of Shingeki No Kyoujin.
Back at the training barracks.
Shadis walked up to the next person. "Who the hell are you?!" The girl teared up a little but did the salute and answered. "Sir! I am Sakura Shizuru from Trost!" She quivered a bit but stood up as tall as she could. She was five feet tall and had black shoulder length cut hair and dark-brown eyes. She was half Chinese and half Japanese with an hourglass type figure. She was 16 and weighed 150 pounds, which mostly consisted of her breast size. She was also very shy and was not very good with being yelled at or being in trouble so she did the best she could at staying as composed as possible. Shadis got closer to her face and yelled some more. "Why are you here, egg role?!" A single tear dropped and she shouted her answer back. "So I can become a stronger person physically and mentally to protect the people I love and stay alive!" Shadis shouted at her yet again, "The last one of your kind that went through here made me wonder how all of you could've died off, but now I know! It's because of scrawny little shits like you that all the zipperheads went extinct!"
At that moment they all heard a loud enough thud that it echoed throughout the courtyard they were in. It was about 10 people down from where Sakura was standing and the sound was a fist hitting a chest. Shadis turned and looked with a somewhat surprised face at a boy who had started his salute. The girl on the right of the boy was looking at him with a face that, in words, would clearly say "What the fuck are you doing?!" Shadis started walking towards the boy. Sakura looked over at him with silent tears spilling down her cheeks.
Shadis stood in front of him. "Are you that eager to be fucking yelled at, boy…" The boy stood there doing the salute and spoke in a calm voice after mustering up the strength to talk and giving a deep breath out. "I figured it would've happened eventually… So why not do it now and get it over with." Shadis looked down at him and spoke normally. "What's your name, you scrawny little shit stain?" The boy looked up at him with glaring eyes. "William Geary… sir." William was five feet eight inches and weighed 135 pounds and was Caucasian. He had blue eyes, broad shoulders, and had dark brown hair that would become like an afro if it wasn't cut down to size. He was 18 years old. Shadis looked at him with eyes that were filled with equal, if not more, hatred. "Y'know, William, the last maggot that gave me a look like that wasn't able to have children the next morning… Why are you here…" William kept a stern look and simply said, "Because she is…" and pointed to Sakura.
"Is that so…" Shadis then buried his fist into William's stomach with a good hard punch as William bent over in pain. Sakura flinched but William gave her a sign not to move, and she listened. William started to stand up with a bit of a struggle, but before he completely stood up Shadis kneed him in the face and William fell to the ground holding his face as blood dripped out his nose and mouth. As Shadis started to yell at him again both the girl next to him and Sakura's eyes started going darker than usual. Shadis leaned down and yelled at William. "Stay down, you weak piece of shit! You may have been able to have gotten back up before, but out there, you don't get second chances! Once you're down, you're dead! Now, ask yourself this; how the fuck are you gonna protect her if you can't even protect yourself, you fuckin' pipsqueak!" Shadis gave him one last kick to the stomach and kept moving on down the line. Soon, the ones that needed it had their beings torn down from the inside out.
Skip ahead to dinner time
"Ow! Hey would ya take it easy Sam?" William said while looking at the girl patching him up. This was the same girl that was standing next to him in line. "Oh would you shut up. It's your own damn fault that you're hurt so quit bitching." Sam was five feet five inches tall and weighed 120 pounds. She had black hair and dark-brown eyes that would slightly change color depending on her mood. Sometimes they would get darker and sometimes they would turn a more green color. She has a hard time expressing emotion but usually does so through her facial features. "Alright," she said, "it looks like your nose is broken and you bit your cheek so hard that it started bleeding." She reached in the first aid kit and taped up his nose and gave him some cotton balls to hold against the cut on the inside of his cheek.
Sakura sat there with a sad look on her face. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault. If I wasn't so weak hearted…" She teared up as William flicked her forehead. "Don't talk like that, alright. You're not weak-hearted; you have the biggest heart out of everyone here." Sam started putting the medical kit away. "And besides," she said with a slight irritated tone, "it's his own damn fault he got hurt." She sighed and sat next to both of them. "But I can see why you did it. Just don't piss Shadis off even more, alright? You REALLY don't want him as an enemy in here." William looked at her. "I know. Oh and, thanks for bandaging up my nose." He stood up and threw the cotton balls out. I know we'll survive this training… together. Then… we'll join the Survey Corps… together." He said this with a serious face, as he knew the next three years would be some of the hardest of their lives.
