Hey, I'm back everybody! Sorry that it's been a few days. I was thinking up specifics that I want to do for this story later down the line and also about how I want to start off some other crossovers. Also, I was really happy to get some reviews! Now, I'm not going to respond to every review as that would be a bit much and I'd be repeating myself a lot but just know that I greatly appreciate each of your reviews and I hope to continue gaining this much support from you all! Anyways, on to some of the reviews!

OmniPlanckInstant: You are right there! The story would be way too short if I killed him off. Especially right after the first chapter! Also, thank you for being my first review of the story!

Trusty McGoodGuy: Thank you for the review! I really wasn't expecting a review from you but thank you for the advice! That's actually what I plan on trying to do. I think I'm going to try to diverge more from the original as time goes on and as Gohan makes more and more of an impact on the world and the cast but I'm not sure how much. He just hasn't gotten much chance to make a difference yet. Anyways, I hope to have your continued support as time goes on!

Goku Black: Yeah, I noticed that the day after I posted it. That's what I get for writing and posting at 5 in the morning! I guess I was just too tired to notice some of my mistakes when I was proofreading but I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again haha

Chapter 2: The Fallout


With Gohan

As Hannes ran off with Carla, Mikasa, and Eren, the young demi saiyan laid there among the rubble of the fallen house waiting for his death as the titan began to reach ever so slowly for him.

"I can't believe it's going to end this way. I'm sorry dad. At least now I'll get to see you again in Otherworld" Gohan said weakly to himself as the titan picked him up and prepared to eat him.

However, as it brought him closer and closer to its gigantic mouth, it stopped, and began to stare at him. After looking at him for ten long seconds, it turned its head as it saw another person running away about a block away. In response to this, the titan released its grip and dropped Gohan, causing him to fall unceremoniously to the hard ground as it began to walk towards the other person.

'What was that all about? I thought these things killed people? So why didn't that one kill me? Maybe it's not like the rest?' The boy thought to himself as he lay there in pain and exhaustion.

So, seeing as how he couldn't move, he decided to sense his surroundings to get a better idea of what was going on.


With Hannes, Carla, Eren, and Mikasa

Hannes just kept running. He didn't even realize how far he had been running. All he knew was that he had to get himself and the others out of there. He, at least, had owed that much to the boy he just saw. That is, until Eren managed to squirm around to the point that he was able to bend himself enough to punch him in the jaw.

"Hey! Stop!" Shouted Hannes with heavy breaths as he began to feel the fatigue of running so far with so much extra weight.

"You jerk! We could've saved him! He saved her and you just left him there to die!" Eren cried out as he was devastated from being unable to help anyone. He wasn't able to help save his mother and he was not the boy that supposedly gave his life to save not only them but his mother. He was weak.

"I told you to stop!" Hannes exclaimed as he dropped Eren onto the ground.

"Eren!" Shouted both Mikasa and his mother as Mikasa squirmed out of Hannes' other arm.

"Look. There's nothin' you nor I could've done for him you understand? We saw him lift up part of a fallen house on his own. I don't know how he did it, but compared to that, we're weak." Hannes said in a sad voice as he sat Carla down on the ground to give them all a few seconds of rest.

As he did this, the harshness of reality was crashing down on Eren. And as tears were beginning to fill his eyes, he decided to let it out on the one breaking this to him. So, he tightened his fist and swung it at Hannes' face.

"But I'm worse." Continued Hannes as he caught Eren's fist with ease. "When push came to shove, I was too frightened to hold my ground. Your mother almost died because of me! Im nothing but a coward! And to top it off, I let some random kid save her while I ran! And how did I repay him? I let him die!" Hannes said as tears once again flowed down his face in pure anguish.

This in turn, caused both Eren and his mother to tear up as they also felt guilty for not being able to help the boy that put everything on the line for them.

"I'm sorry." Hannes said quietly as he once again picked Carla up and began to walk forward as Mikasa and Eren followed closely behind with sad expressions on their faces.

As they walked though, Mikasa couldn't help but to think of her deceased family and how close she came today to losing her new family.

After walking for a while longer though, they came across some large ships that were filled to the brim with passengers heading to the inner walls so they could be safe from the titans. So, seeing that they were now safe on a ship, Hannes made a decision.

"Eren. Mikasa. I'm going to leave your mother here with you while I go meet up with others from the Garrison Regiment to see what we're gonna do about all this." Said Hannes as he handed Carla over to the two kids.

"Just don't do anything stupid out there Hannes." Carla said quietly as she accepted she couldn't stop him.

"I will. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Hannes simply replied as he ran off to find other members of the Garrison.

But things began to get even more chaotic as the titans began to close in on the area. And in response to this, Garrison Regiment on the ships began to prepare to leave by removing the walking platforms that connected the ships to the land.

This caused an uproar among the crowd waiting the board the ships as they knew they would soon perish if they didn't get on board.

As such, people began to panic and some even jumped into the water or onto the sides of the ships as they set sail in a last-ditch effort to survive.

However, sounds of cannon fire were soon heard by those on the ships as members from the Garrison were attempting to hold back the titans with no luck.

And then the unexpected happened. The inner gates started to close.

This caused everyone to panic as they knew that if they didn't make it through the gates in time, they would all die at the hands of the titans.


With Hannes

"Wait, are you out of your mind!? Don't shut it yet! We've still got people out there! Give them a chance!" Hannes shouted out in anger at his commander as his fellow Garrison Regiment members started to close the gates.

"We can't let the titans get through the inner gate! If that happens, the handful of lives out there will be the least of our problems! There aren't enough resources for the whole human race to retreat behind the next wall if they break through!" Shouted another member of the Garrison.

"Listen to yourself! We're soldiers! We don't get to decide who lives and dies!" Responded Hannes as his anger continued to rise.

As soon as he said that, two more Garrison members came running up to them to inform them to close the gate as the titans were closing in on them.

Hearing this, the commander had no other choice. So, he immediately told some workers to close the gate right that instant.

"No!" Shouted Hannes as he went to stop them but was held back. "Let go of me!"

And then everybody heard it. A large titan of 15 meters in height (49-foot-tall) appeared in the middle of the city leaving it with a straight shot between it and the gate. However, this titan looked slightly different from most other titans as it had white hair on its head and it had hardened plates of armor-like skin covering its body in patches.

It then got in a runner's stance, and made a mad dash towards the gate.


With Gohan

He hated this. All he could do was lay there doing nothing but listening and sensing his surroundings. Why did he always have to be so useless when it mattered the most? The only time he ever actually came through for anybody was in his final battle with Cell.

Cell. He still couldn't believe how he got so overconfident with himself that he allowed Cell the chance to come up with a plan to destroy them all. A plan that his father sacrificed himself to prevent.

And now, he couldn't even help these people. Granted, he was completely out of energy and was in immense pain, but that didn't help him feel any better. Not when people were dying.

"I wish I had enough strength to help." Gohan muttered out as he continued to sense his surroundings.

He could feel not only a bunch of people dying but a bunch of people gathered in one place. He only hoped they would be alright.

As he focused on that area for a moment, he finally sensed the energies of that family he helped earlier. As well as the energy of that man that carried them all to safety.

"They're alive!" Shouted Gohan in a brief moment of happiness. However, when he focused more on their energies, he couldn't help but feel how distressed they were. In fact, everyone there was distressed and it was only getting worse.

Then he felt it. Another titan was approaching the crowd. But the weird thing was that it wasn't heading for them like the other titans were. And all of a sudden, it raised its energy like it was going to attack someone or something. Then it moved quickly right towards a group of energies only for them all to be wiped out.

As he felt that, he heard the sounds of a massive crash and could only conclude that the titan he felt had smashed into something. And although the young demi saiyan didn't know what, he had a growing feeling it wasn't something good.

So, with that and the fact that he now knew those he saved were safe for now, he decided to stop focusing on his senses and try to get some rest despite the fact he knew others were dying because he knew there was nothing more he could do at this time. Even though he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep because of everything that has transpired in the last 24 hours, he knew he needed to regain some strength if he wanted to survive and help anybody else. So, he just laid there trying to figure out what was going on.


A few hours later in Trost District on the south side of Wall Rose

"What do you think we're meant to make of these reports of Shiganshina falling to the titans? Are they verified? That outcropping has held for a century. It makes no sense." inquired an overweight middle-aged man with thinning brown hair and a goatee.

"Whether or not they're verified, the refugees are certainly flooding in like plague rats. There's been at least 500 accounted for in the boats." Stated an older man with a gray beard and gray hair that was on the sides and back of his head while the top of his head was bald.

"The question is, how prepared are we if Shiganshina is in ruins?" Questions a young man with short blond hair and a beard as he held his forehead out of stress.

"Come now, surely Wall Maria is enough on its own to hold the titans at bay, don't you think?" Asked another middle-aged man with short dark brown hair that parted on the right side of his head and a bushy mustache.

"In any case, the situation in untenable. Our hands are tied. I say we make appeals to the central government for help." Replied another blond man in a gruff voice as he tried to come up with a solution to the problem at hand causing the overweight man to nod in agreement.

Then a soldier suddenly barged in on the meeting between the men. "Excuse me my lords! You'll really want to hear this! Wall Maria's been broken through! The titans are... They're in!" Shouted the soldier with his voice laced with urgency causing panic to spread throughout the room.


On the ship

"It's gone. Our house. It's all gone. Forever." Eren said quietly to himself as he remembered the peaceful times he had with his family while tears began to roll down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry mom. I'm sorry I was always such a brat. I love you. And I'm sorry that I was too weak to save you. I'm weak. I'm not strong like that boy that saved you." Eren sobbed as he huddled up against his mom as she sat between Eren and Mikasa.

"I love you too, Eren. And you're not weak. You're just a boy. You'll get stronger someday." Carla said with tears rolling down her face as she hugged her son.

"Eren." Said Mikasa sadly as she hated seeing Eren this down.

"Every last one of us are weak cowards!" Eren exclaimed quietly to himself as he stood up from his mother's embrace and started to walk towards the edge of the boat. "No. This is over."

"What's wrong? You see something?" Armin asked as he walked up to Eren from another part on the boat and put his hand on Eren's shoulder only for it to be shrugged off.

"I'm going to put a stop to this! I'll get stronger and kill them all! Every last one!" Cried out Eren as tears of frustration flowed down his face.


With Gohan

Although he had initially planned on staying awake to think about where he was, why he couldn't sense his friends and family, and try to figure out where he was and why, he wasn't able to and fell asleep shortly after he stopped focusing on the energies around him due to pure exhaustion.

"Did I fall asleep? I must've. It looks like it's getting dark out now." Gohan said to himself as he slowly opened his eyes.

So, he tried to see if he could sit up and he was able to. He certainly felt better than he did earlier but still didn't feel good. At least he could move again so that was a plus.

However, he felt absolutely terrible for being able to fall asleep while so many people were suffering. He certainly tried to stay awake but eventually the fatigue just caught up to him and he passed out.

As he stood up, he went to inspect his arm because it was still in pain from his battle with Cell only to realize it had finally stopped bleeding and the blood had dried. Well, at least he didn't have to worry about it bleeding for the moment so that was a small plus.

'I wonder where everyone went?' Thought Gohan as he looked at all the devastation around him. It really made him sad to see it. So many people lost not only their homes but their lives. So, he stretched out his senses. He could still feel the energies of those things around the area and now inside the wall. He could also feel those people he met earlier and hundreds more people inside that wall too as they all seemed to be traveling further and further away.

'Maybe I should go that way too. Maybe somebody might be able to help me find a way home or at least answer some of my questions about where I am and what those things are.' Gohan thought to himself.

However, then he looked down only to see his newly regrown tail swaying back and forth. His tail. It may have been the last thing from his home he had left other than the clothes on his back and something that he had in common with his deceased father

'Actually, maybe I better stay away from them for now. I wouldn't want to cause them any problems. Besides, I should probably train my tail some before anything else.' Thought Gohan with a sad smile on his face.

So, that's what he decided to do. He began to slowly walk throughout the city for a while until he eventually found a giant hole in the wall. And on the other side, he really didn't feel people out there save for maybe one or two people, those things, and animals.

As such, he then started to walk down a small dirt path that went off towards one of the many isolated forests he could see in the distance so that he wouldn't be able to bother anybody.

Though, after walking for a while, he began to see a small silhouette in the distance further down the road. But as the time continued to pass, he eventually was able to make out what it was. He could see that it was a small red carriage with a man in the front seat steering the horses.

The man seemed so deep in thought though that he didn't even notice Gohan as he sped by.

'He must've lived in that city I just came from.' Gohan concluded in his mind as he felt bad for the man. He only hoped the man's family survived the awful attack that transpired just hours ago.

And with a heavy sigh, Gohan once again concluded his lonely trek into the wilderness.


Well that's it for this chapter! I'm sorry that it wasn't as long or as intense as the last chapter. I know I could've continued it a little more but I decided this was a good ending point for this chapter. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed it and see you all again next time!
