What a World
There's a lot of things in this world that I've come to hate. The lack of modern comforts is a big one, I think right now I miss my car the most. Horseback is just not my thing and the cart isn't much better! A steaming hot shower too, I'd just about slaughter my squad if I could have a hot shower.
That's another thing I noticed about this world, you either are too soft and are taken advantage of or you harden yourself. I hardly recognize myself anymore. I use to be a pretty outgoing person willing to make friends with anyone, now I'd rather watched them burn. People in this world are such cowards, sure they talk a big game but first sign of being in over their heads and they run. Cowards the lot of them. I despise cowards just as much as these godforsaken Titans. Sure Titans were cool when they were just in manga and anime but living with them is a pain.
So when Captain Levi comes back from the Forest of Giant Trees with a different Titan than the Female Titan that is definitely not Eren's Titan form I knew there was a problem with the storyline. Captain Hange was having a fucking orgasm over that thing while the rest of my squad mates pretty much piss themselves in fear. Commander Erwin gives the order and we were off following this thing. This thing is going to get us killed before we even get to that old decrepit base! Its footsteps shake the ground and Captain Hange is louder than necessary. We are pretty much a moving Titan buffet with a giant neon sign over us reading, "Dig In!"
In a few hours we reach an old training outpost that was abandoned during the fall of Shiganshina with only a few Titan encounters. A few more that I didn't want to happen in this first place. We are ordered to take care of our horses and only unpack the necessities for a quick rest while we wait for nightfall. They really expect us to haul that Thing all night and get it through the Walls without detection? Not only am I surrounded by cowards, I'm also surrounded by the insane! This will cause massive panic lugging this thing through Main Street! My commanding office interrupts my inner monologue to announce that I'm on first watch with two others from my squad.
I use my 3DMG to get myself a good vantage point on the top wall of the post. My squad mates give me the "pleasure" of Titan duty. There's a commotion below, I peer over the edge and freeze. There on the ground in fuck ENGLISH is the sentence, "Freeing but boring". This THING knows a language that doesn't exist in this world! More than that it knows a language that I know all too well! Is this Thing like me? I'm I going to turn into one of those monster too?
My mind is still reeling as the sun sets, only to be jolt from my internal panic when Hange is dragged away like a child throwing a tantrum. It only take a moment for my mind to be made up, I use my 3DMG and send a hook to the nap of the abominations neck. I'm soaring, the distance isn't long so I hit hard and fast. Shiiiink! There's blood anywhere, and I hear Hange's scream of rage. I make a perfect landing only to be tackled from the side. Hange's over me yelling and yelling but I find that I don't really care. I can only laugh and laugh and laugh.
Like I said there are only cowards and the insane in the Scouting Legion. Looks like I've finally official joined the ranks.
End.
I really thought I was done with this fic but then I had this idea to do the point of view from a really jaded scouting legion SI. I kind of left the first chapter at a good point for interpretation and tried to keep the same spirit in mind while writing this. Pretty much this is the story of an SI that just snapped in the SNK/AOT world and couldn't handle what was on the other side of the screen. I hope you guys like this short one compared to the first. This will probably be the last for this story but who knows? Thanks for reading!~
