Attack on Power: The Return
Bonus Chapter 1: The First Arrival
Here's a little something I plan on doing throughout the story; after every main chapter I complete it will be followed up by a bonus chapter. What will the bonus chapter be about? Well, the bonus chapters will mostly be flashbacks from "Attack on Junior" only the grammar will be better and it won't be complete garbage.
I got the idea from Attack on Titan 2 when throughout the season they would flashback to past events, whether if it had been shown in the first season or not. So these will kind of be like that.
I was considering to just redo Attack on Junior (or Attack on Power as I am now calling it) as a whole but thought that it'd be too much work for me. So, I'm just gonna try doing this instead.
This first couple bonus chapters will be about how Junior came to the The Land of Titans (or not exactly how he got there, but why he got there. Could be both, I dunno.) While arriving to the new world he meets Levi and the rest of his squad when they were alive and… Well, not brutally killed by the Female Titan.
Anyways, please enjoy and review!

"Junior..."
"..."
"Junior..."
Junior, the Ima Bearer, opens his eyes after hearing a mysterious but familiar voice call him name. Upon opening his eyes, he finds himself in a room with nothing around him. At least aside from the strange blue aura the filled the empty room.
Being in this strange place wasn't new to Junior at all, however, he's been here plenty of times. But why was Junior here? Did he come here willingly? Or did someone summon him? What purpose did he have to come here?
Right on cue, the same voice speaks up once more.
"Greetings, Junior Lockridge..." the voice spoke calmly. "I see you've returned from the last world. And have completed your mission along the way as well."
Then a void, showing an image of blue creature, is shown in the void, running through a desolate city.
"I must say, I was rather impressed by the way you two worked together. Of course, you weren't very calm about meeting others different from your own species."
"Y-yeah, I guess you could say that." Junior says in embarrassment while scratching the back of his head.
"But to be fair, it was your very first mission and the very first time you experienced with traveling through different worlds. So, I cannot blame you for being scared and confused."
"I mean, I wouldn't say I was scared..."
The voice laughs lightly. "It's alright. I was the same way when I was your age as well. Traveling through other worlds and meeting their inhabitants is definitely mind blowing, even terrifying at times. But, once you overcome those issues you'll start to enjoy your adventure."
"Anyways, side conversations aside… I've noticed how you seem to lack the physical requirements to battle your enemies, or even maneuver around them. Which is why we will be taking you to a place where people use their surroundings as both their means to get around, and as there weapon."
"So, the guys are like magical or something?"
"Not exactly. These people use these special tools as grapples to move around. It will make more sense once you see for yourself."
"Okay then. So, this world will be a little more calmed down then the last one and I pretty much have to train."
"Actually… No." The voice answers in a grim tone. "The world, unlike the previous worlds you been to is more harsh than the rest."
"What does that mean?"
"Junior… In this world, people die."
Junior stands there. His facial changes from a neutral look, to a more disapproval look. "I'm sorry. WHAT?" Junior grins sheepishly while letting out a few chuckles. "You mean just faint right?"
"I wish that were the case. But no. Once you enter this new world: 'The Land of Titans' you will most likely see others die..."
"You're not joking… But, wait! Die to wait? The Soul Nabbers…?"
"Yes, you will encounter those white menaces in the Land of Titans. Hence why you're going there in the first place. However, the Soul Nabbers aren't the ones you cause the horrible deaths."
"Then what is?"
"I'm afraid time is up. It's time for you to wake up."
"No wait! Die to what!?"

=+Residence of Junior Lockridge+=
In a matter of seconds, Junior slowly opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling in his dark room. He turns his head to look out the window, showing a cloudy night hiding away the moon.
Junior then turns towards his clock to find that is was a little past midnight. Junior assumed that he didn't sleep for that long at all, but was for whatever reason wide awake. But why was he wide awake?
Well, maybe it was because he was literally told that HE WOULD SEE PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIE. I'm sure that would make pretty much everyone stay up all night.
Well since Junior was piratically petrified and wide awake, he decides to head down to the kitchen to grab himself a drink.
Junior sat at the only table in the kitchen, slowly drinking a mud filled with hot apple cider. Normally his favorite drink would cheer him up. But not this time. He takes another sip while staring deeply at the table, thinking about what the voice said to him.
"You will most likely see others die..." The voice echoed in his head.
Junior… Was not ready for this. Sure, he had seen other people, and even his friends and allies get seriously injured… But death!? Seriously!? This put Junior in a shocked state. But he was curious as to what would cause those deaths. Monsters? Robots? Viruses? Other people? To Junior, the possibilities were just endless.
Even so, these guesses only stressed Junior out even more. So much he couldn't help but shake his cup nervously.
Junior takes a deep breathe. "I think I'm just taking this too seriously. Maybe the Land of Titans won't be so bad?" Junior manages to calm himself down just a bit, before clenching his mug in his hands. "But… Just in case… Maybe I should go by myself and not bring any of my friends with me."
Junior sits there in silence after finishing his drink. He then stands up and his petrified look quickly changes to a look of determination.
"You know what! Screw it!" He shouts, crossing his arms. "I'm not gonna let one sentence scare me and turn me into an average pants-pissing teen! I'm gonna head into the Land of the Titans and kick some ass!" He shouts in glee before smirking. "But first!" Junior says in a more serious tone, raising his index finger. "I must train..."
Finally, morning arrives and we find ourselves looking at Junior front door. The door suddenly opens as another male figure walks inside.
He wore a white lab coat with a black t-short shown from underneath it, black jeans, brown and white shoes and wore goggles on his head, as his eyes were dark blue. His hair was also a short and brown-colored.
Meet: Dr. Sylvester Cyan.
"Junior?" Sylvester called out. "Are you home?"
Sylvester gives off an annoyed look on his face, closing the door behind him, and locking it.
"I'm asking because you left your door unlocked. Which is a serious safety hazard by the way. You could've had some thief walk right in here in steal your belongings or even-"
"Hiya, Sylvester!" Greeted a familiar voice.
Sylvester spots Junior laying on his couch, watching movies in the living room. Sylvester just stares at Junior for a moment.
"Oh, there you are… What are you doing?" Sylvester asks raising an eyebrow.
"What's it look like? I'm training."Junior answers with his eyes glue to the television.
"… Training?" Sylvester deadpans towards the Ima Bearer. "It looks more like your just sitting on your ass watching television."
"For your information; I'm watching HORROR MOVIES!" Junior says while waggling his fingers, trying to be spooky. "Oooooo!"
"Okay… How is this considered training?"
"Well," Junior begins, looking up at Sylvester with a slightly serious tone. "I had one of those 'Ima Dreams' again. And the same voice I told you about told me that the next world I was going to visit that… I would actually see people die."
"I see..."
Junior sets his now balled up fist to his chest. "So I figured I decided to train all night!"
"By watching horror movies?" Sylvester asked bluntly.
"Pretty much." Junior grinned.
"I know I'm probably going to regret asking," Sylvester begins before crossing his arms, "but again, how is this considered training?"
"That's easy to answer! See, if I watch a bunch of movies where a bunch of characters die in different ways, then maybe I'll be used to seeing death left in right!" Junior laughs. "It makes so much sense!"
"… Your logic is flawed, Junior."
"How so?"
"First of all;" Sylvester begins, raising a finger, "watching or reading fictional stories won't make you brave or strong. If anything they'll probably just make you cowardly, weak and possibly even a complete idiot."
"Huh. That would explain why most of the characters die instantly..."
"Secondly..." Sylvester groans setting his palm onto his face. "This is not a horror movie of any kind."
"What makes you say that!?" Junior frowns at the Doctor.
"Junior, this is The Iron Giant." Sylvester answers in a blunt and harsh tone while pointing at the screen. "This is animated family friendly movie. This is as far away from any kind of horror film as you can get."
Junior sheepishly taps his fingers together "… Well yeah, but-"
"Please tell me you're not afraid of this movie."
"No but… Giant things freak me out." Junior says, hanging his head.
Sylvester groans once more. "We don't have time for this. You had an Ima Dream, so that means we have to get going." Sylvester grabs Junior's arm and pulls him off the couch. "Let's go."
"Agh! Wait! I didn't get to have my morning cider… For the third time!"

=+Dr. Sylvester Cyan's Laboratory+=
Sylvester stares at a large screen above both him and Junior. The screen appears to be showing a bunch of random codes and other science-related subjects. To Junior; it just looked like a bunch of numbers bunched up together. To Sylvester, however, it was a completely other language he could understand perfectly.
"Now then, the voice in the dream told you to go to 'The Land of Titans' correct?"
Junior nods in response.
"Well the name certainly does sounds familiar..." Sylvester states while lightly stroking his chin.
With a press of a button on Sylvester control panel, a large metal tray arrives from the panel. On the large tray were five items:
A Golden Ring...
A Shining Stone…
A Peculiar Key Chain…
A Blue Bracelet…
And a Broken Blade…
Underneath each item were symbols as well.
The Golden Ring had an emerald symbol underneath it. The Shining Stone had a come of some kind of ball underneath. The Peculiar Key Chain had three circles mushed together. The Blue Bracelet had another bracelet symbol. And the Broken Blade had a symbol of two wings.
Sylvester picks up the Broken Plate. "Let's see if this is the right world."
Sylvester then sets down the Broken Blade on a metal plate which then glowed a cyan color.
Sylvester looks back towards the large screen. "Computer, analyze item then locate the worldfiles this item shares with said files.
"Yes, Cyan."
The screen then shows a loading screen labeled "Analyzing..."
"Analyzing… Analyzing… Analyzing…" A soft 'ping' was then heard and the loading screen disappeared off the screen. Analyzing complete. Locating world file… Land of Titans Files located."
Sylvester clasps his hands together. "Perfect! Show us the files now."
"Opening Land of Titans Files..."
Next. both Sylvester and Junior were shown several photos of various landscapes. A few of them were normal, grass plains.
A few other were small towns with no people to be found in each photo.
More pictures showed a gigantic wall with a symbol of some type of 'goddess' on it.
And a few selection of photos seemed to catch both character's eyes. These photos were blurred so they couldn't really tell what they were. But to them the photos looked kind of like faces. LARGE faces. These "faces" intrigue Sylvester a bit while Junior was just creeped out.
"Here it is: the Land of Titans." Sylvester turns to face Junior. "Any thoughts?"
"It looks more boring than terrifying to be honest." Junior shakes his head with his arms crossed. "Can't believe I wasted my time watching that horror movie..."
"The Iron Giant is not a-" Sylvester shakes his head before getting into an argument before facing towards the screen. "Anyway, I'm quite curious to know about that wall. What sort of secrets lies from within that wall… I wonder..."
"So, your grandpa took all these photos right?" Junior asks.
"Apparently."
"Heh. Well you'd thing he'd leave some notes about these things, right?" Junior laughs.
"Yes, that would've been useful. But for now, we're going to have to find out for ourselves." Sylvester turns back towards Junior once more. "Are you ready to go…?"
{{Land of Titans}}
=+Abandoned Town+=
We now see the familiar Survey Corps, resting at this Abandoned Town. A good amount were either resting there sore bodies and having a short snack break. While a few other felt the need to at least look around for supplies or just looking for the sake of it.
However, we spot one particular soldier standing by his lonesome, staring down at his now bloodied blades as steam emitted from the blood.
This man had short black hair, wore the exact same uniform as everybody else in the area, had dull blue eyes. He was also slightly shorter than others.
Meet the Lieutenant of the Special Operations Squad: Levi.
"Ugh. Of course those monsters ruined my blades and outfit." Levi says in a dull tone. "Fucking filthy..."
Despite Levi taking a break from his job, he still was on his guard. As would be expected from the Captain of his own squad.
But of course, this didn't stop him from keeping himself and his weapons clean. After cleaning himself up he looks far into the horizon, still keeping up his guard.
After a few moments of staring, he noticed a bright, glimmering blue light in the far distance. Levi squints his eyes and leans forward to get a better look, but he still couldn't see much. Just a light. Seconds later the light just disappeared.
Levi re positions himself. 'What the hell was that?' He thought to himself. 'Was that some type of signal of sorts...' He slowly shakes his head. 'No, couldn't have been. We don't carrying any lights that that...'
"Levi." A familiar voice called out.
Levi turns around and sees Commander Erwin Smith, riding on top of a horse, staring down at the Captain.
"You saw that light too, didn't you?"
Levi nods. "Yes. It seemed to be coming from north from here."
"And you don't recognize it?"
"No. We don't carry those kinds of signals." Levi looks back towards the horizon. "However, I feel like I've seen something like that before."
"Hmm. Well either way, we're heading out there. Get your squad and follow my lead."
"Understood."
{{Land of Titans}}
=+Forest Area+=
Levi and Erwin, accompanied by the rest of the Special Operations Squad arrive near a forest, where both Erwin and Levi saw the light.
Let's introduce you all to the members of the Special Operations Squad, shall we?
One of these member was a girl with light-ginger hair, orange eyes and was surprisingly slightly shorter than Levi himself. Who knew, right?
Meet: Petra Ral.
Another was a man who looked a bit older then the rest of his squad. His hair was light-brown colored and was in an undercut hair style, while his eyes were hazel colored.
Meet: Oluo Bozad.
Next was a man whose skin was slightly dark. He had dark-brown hair which was kept slightly point upwards and had brown eyes.
Meet: Gunther Shiltz.
Final member was another man. This man had blonde hair tied up from the back, a small blonde beard, and brown eyes.
Meet: Eldo Shiltz.
Both Erwin and Levi observe the area, searching for the light. But alas, couldn't find shit.
"Nothing." Levi says while shaking his head.
"Er, Captain," Petra asks, "what exactly are we looking for?"
"To be honest… We're not sure. We've gotten word that a blue light was seen within this area."
"A blue light?" Petra asks slightly surprised. "Are you sure?"
Levi nods in response. "Though, it looks like nothing's here. At least not anymore."
Erwin shakes his head. "Hpmh. Maybe we're just losing it. It has been a long day."
"Where do we go from here, Commander?" Gunther asks, looking towards Erwin.
"I suppose we'll call it a day, head back home." Erwin answers promptly before turning back. "Maybe next time we're out here we can find something he-"
"OH, JESUS!" Screeched another familiar voice.
Right then and there, Junior runs out of the forest while looking behind him, not looking where he was going. Before Junior could actually see where he was going, he runs into Erwin's body and fall down on his ass. However, the impact barely phased Erwin.
Junior groans rubbing his behind. "Agh..." Junior looks up at the soldier before shaking his head vigorously. He quickly jumps up at his feet.
"A child?" Eldo asks while raising a brow.
Junior, who was currently breathing heavily, looks behind him. "Did… Did I lose them?"
Everyone aside from this newcomer look at each other with a variety of confused looks. Levi, however, stares straight at the newcomer.
"Oi, brat." Levi called out.
"Hm?" Junior turns around to see Levi. "Me?"
"Are you okay there?" Petra asks.
"No. I actually became mentally scarred since I came here." Junior answers in a nonchalant tone of voice.
"'Came from?'" Oluo asks stepping in front of Junior. "'Come from where?'"
"I'm from… Er… Classified?" Junior asks with a sheepish smile and shrug.
Gunther glares at Junior suspiciously, clearing not falling for any lies and tricks. "What do you mean 'classified?'"
Junior stares back at Gunther, not sure what to say. 'Dammit. Sylvester always tells me that whenever I enter a new world I should always keep things a secret. Well, how am I suppose to do that while these assholes are questioning me like this."
Junior stands there for a moment in silence, thinking about what to say or do. What could he possibly say to these people? Does he tell them the truth that he's from another world? Does he lie and try to claim he's from this world? Or will he just tell them to fuck right off.
Junior shakes his head. 'No, I don't want to start anything with these people. I'm sure they're just trying to help. But still, what to I-'
Junior then quickly snaps out of his own thoughts to see a sword pointing at his throat.
Junior jumps in surprise, holding his hands high in the air. "HOLY SHIT!"
Levi held his blade against Junior throat. Levi didn't even bother to show any emotion as well.
"Captain!" Petra blurted out.
Levi silently stares at the Ima Bearer, still holding the blade in his hand. And all Junior could do was stare back.
'What is wrong with these people!? I didn't do anything wrong, why am I being treated like this?'
"… That light."
"What?"
"That light. You had something to do with it didn't you?"
Junior stands there with a brow raised.
"A few moments ago, we saw a light in the distance around this area. It was nothing we've ever seen before. And after we come to the same place the light had appeared, you just so happen to show up."
Levi then takes a long good look at Junior appearance. He realizes that his outfit was far different that any other person's clothing. To Levi, his outfit seemed… Outlandish.
"And judging from the clothes you wear, I can tell you're definitely not from around here."
Junior stands there in silence. "..."
"Well, anything?" Levi asks with a groan, clearly growing impatient.
Junior chuckles while scratching the back of his head. "Sorry, I blacked out for a second! What were you saying?"
Levi glares at Junior, groaning in irritation. Levi was ready to reach his hand out and strangle the kid. Luckily, Petra was there to step in before things could escalate.
"Captain! We've been out in the open for far too long. Don't you think we should finally head back now?"
"..." Levi gives Junior one last intimidating glare before walking away. "We'll interrogate you later, brat." He growled.
"What did he say?" Junior asks with a concerned look on his face.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about the Captain." Petra says with a smile. "Captain Levi's actually a very nice guy once you get to know him."
"Levi?"
"Oh, right. You know the Captain's name, so I guess I might as well introduce myself. My name is Petra Ral."
"I'm Junior Lockridge."
"That's uh… Peculiar-"
Junior holds out his hands in protest. "Before you say anything! Junior's not my actual name… At least I think it's not." Junior turns away. "Oh god, I sure hope it isn't."
Petra laughs lightly. "Anyways, we should probably get you back to the city."
"There's a city?"
Petra stares at Junior with a questionable look, thinking that Junior wasn't very knowledgeable about the city or anything about this world. Seemed a little suspicious.
Junior quickly realizes his mistake. "I mean, right! Yeah, the city! Of course! The lovely city of… Of..."
Petra gives Junior a hardened look of suspicion.
"… I'll follow you."
Petra sighs while turning away. "Maybe Levi will have to interrogate you once we get back to Head Quarters..." She says under her breathe.
"What was that?"
"Commander!" Shouted a random soldier, who flew in the scene using his 3DMG.
"..." Junior sets a hand on Petra's shoulder while using his other hand to point at the soldier. "Was that man flying just now?"
"Commander Erwin! Titans are attacking are men in the Abandoned Town! They're out numbering us and taking us out too quickly! We need you over there!"
"Understood! Levi! Head over to the Abandoned Town to aid our men."
Levi nods in response. "Right."
"Captain, what about the boy?" Eldo asks.
"Petra and Oluo will look after the kid in the meantime while you and Gunther come with me."
"Wait! You want to babysit this brat! You're joking!" Oluo protested before looking back at Junior who was currently giving him the middle finger.
"Fuck you too, old man."
{{Land of Titans}}
=+Abandoned Town+=
Junior, along with Petra and Oluo, stood there and watch the horrific battle that was taking place in the town. Various bloodied bodies could be found across the town. On the dirt road and the rooftops, at lease one body could be found.
"No! NO! PLEASE LET ME GO! PLEA-" Shrieked another soldier's voice before it was suddenly silenced.
Junior looks up to see what was causing all the pain, bloodshed, and death. The enemy looked to be a gigantic creature with human-like feature only these beings were more frightful and creepily evil looking.
Junior was now staring at this world's threat: The Titans…
Junior looks in horror as tears flowed from his eyes. "H-he was right… I-I would see people die..."
Junior stood there paralyzed in shock and fear. He could barely keep himself standing a his legs quickly gave up on him, causing him to fall to his knees. He felt onto his stomach tightly as he felt his stomach twist and turn.
"I think I'm gonna throw up..."
"Junior! Junior!" Petra called out to Junior, shaking his body, trying to bring him back to reality.
Junior, however, felt like he was going to pass out. His vision grew slightly dark and blurry, he could barely see or even hear Petra calling his name. But he could all see blurred glimpse of another Titan walking behind Petra, reaching its lengthy hands towards the both of them.
Everything then goes dark…
Why is this world so cruel…?
To be continued…
That's all for the first bonus chapter of Attack on Power: the Return! Now I apologize if this was a bit too short, but you gotta understand: that's kind of the point. Sure, these bonus chapters are indeed important… But they're not the main focus. Which is why they're short.
However, if you want next bonus chapter's to be a bit longer and slightly more detailed then maybe I can try some stuff or whatever. I'm not making any promises though.
And again, like I said in the last chapter! If I made a mistake regarding the personalities of the AOT character then please tell me. Just do not be rude about it… Please? With a cherry on top?
That's all for now! Don't forget to review and leave me your thoughts about the fic! …Please? With two cherries on top?
Alright I'm done. Goodbye, folks!
