At first, everyone that wasn't there to witness the cannons going off rushed over to see what was being fired at. Titan vapor filled the air and there was extreme heat coming from the vicinity where the cannons were fired.

"What the hell?" Shauna said.

After a few more seconds, the rest of the vapor cleared, and a horrible monstrosity appeared. What's going on here? Cyrus thought to himself. The thing that stood, well it wasn't standing it was just the torso of Titan, had no skin, it was just muscle and bone. There was a hollow, cave like area were the ribcage of the Titan was supposed to be. Cyrus saw two figures huddled inside of the ribs. The head of Titan only had one eye, but it was moving, it's still alive.

At the moment when the lone eye was moving, a third figure came out of the neck.

"What's going on here?" Marcus asked. Everyone one in this area seemed to be horrified at the site.

"I get it." This came from Alicia, who had uncovered he face revealing a horribly scarred face. Cyrus inferred that she had once been beautiful, but something happened to her and that is why she covered here face.

"What do you get?" Cyrus asked.

"Well, I think that boy that fell out of the carcass, has the ability to turn into a Titan." Alicia said this in such a calm manor, that it was a bit creepy. Cyrus was shocked by this news, he wondered if it was even possible for a human to transform into a Titan. No one replied to Alicia because Titan corpse completely disintegrating and the tree people were visible.

The first person was a blonde haired boy, he looked horrified. Then there was a girl with black hair, Cyrus had heard of her because she graduated at the top of the 104th trainee division. Her name was Mikasa Ackerman. She was hailed as being very skilled at using a 3D Maneuver Gear. Cyrus wished he could have saw her in action. Then the last boy must have been the one who could turn into a Titan, he looked paler then the other two, and he had a shocked look on his face also.

Vapor still lined the ground, and then the blonde boy came running forward, toward Verman. This obviously made him overreact because he started screaming for the boy to stop.

"I don't like this guy, Verman, he's scared, but we are all scared." Shauna said. That had to be the understatement of the century, they weren't just scared, they were a "I'm about to crap my pants and go huddle in a corner, shaking scared."

The boy halted and said angrily, "He isn't an enemy sir. We are willing to give you all the information on Eren, and also regarding the Titans." For such a timid boy, he sure did have a powerful voice.

Then Verman replied with "Quit pleading for your life, we won't hear it!" Verman's voice was shaky. Cyrus wasn't sure how he felt, he thought if Eren could control his Titan form, then he would be a great asset to humanity. But it was also a pretty big if.

Verman continued his rant. "IF you're trying to say that he is not a Titan, then show us the proof."

"Who needs proof? There were plenty of witness's that saw Eren fighting the Titans, and the Titans would also swarm him. So they view Eren as an enemy." The blonde boy replied, his voice was just as strong as the previous time he spoke. Cyrus was shocked at this statement. The crowd was starting to sway towards the boy's side, Cyrus was now completely on his side.

"This is a great tool we got!" Cyrus whispered to his squad. They all thought that Verman would have changed his mind at this news.

"I don't care, we will still attack, and if he can turn into a Titan then he is our enemy." Verman responded and he raised his had, the cannons were ready to fire. The boy looked lost, because he knew he failed to save him and his friend's life. Then a sudden change, he saluted Verman.
"I am on humanity's side and I will continue to fight for the restoration of humanity!" He said. Cyrus was certain that he was not traitor of something, why couldn't Verman see it.

Verman still had his hand raised, he looked as though he was about to signal for the cannons to fire, but a hand grabbed his arm. It was Commander Pixis. Pixis was in charge of everything in this, including Trost; he was bald and had a mustache. He had a small smile on his face. He started talking to Verman and the boy, Cyrus could not hear what they were saying. Then Pixis walked off with all three of them.

"I wonder what's happening?" Heather asked.

"Heather, that's like the second time I have ever heard you speak." Vladimir replied with a bit of a laugh. It was one of those really awkward laughs that made everyone feel uncomfortable. There weren't that much soldiers left, there must have been a lot of causalities.

"Guys, I'm going to go look for people." Cyrus said. He wanted to go see if Walter, Alice, and Jane were here. An ominous cloud seemed to be hanging over the crowd of soldiers. Sweat started running down Cyrus's face. Gaunt faces were all Cyrus saw while walking down the cobblestone street. There was a man sitting on a box, Cyrus noticed this man more because of the way he was mumbling to himself. He watched him for a second and then Cyrus saw the man pull out a knife and point the blade toward himself.

"NO!" Cyrus screamed and ran toward the man. It was too late though because the man had already stabbed himself. The man fell off his box and he lied down, very little others noticed because the rest were engulfed in their own sorrows. Cyrus looked down at the dying man.

"I've escaped the cage." He muttered to himself, a steady stream of scarlet started running out of his mouth. Cyrus felt tears forming and then he felt an arm around his shoulder.

"Cyrus let's get out of here." It was Walter who said this.

To be continued.
