First off thank you to all who read and favourite and followed my story I never expect it to take off like this I'm so very flattered, also I'd like to give a shout out to my good friend theangelCas. Please read their story it's absolutely brilliant it's titled imaginary friends.
Eren and Armin were in shock, they had never seen a creature like Jack; Eren acted on instinct and jumped in front of Armin to protect him, he thrusted his swords into Jack's chest. He let go of his weapons in surprise when he realised that not only was he unsuccessful in killing the monster, but his swords had turn red hot and were dripping melted metal.
"Ah gee kid, now these things aren't useful to anyone," said Jack.
He pulled the two swords from his chest, they were much shorter now since most of their length melted away inside him, and let them fall to the ground.
"Here you might as well have one of mine," Jack said.
He reached inside of his duffel bag and pulled out his machete and one of his pistols. He handed the blade to Eren, who accepted it cautiously, and pulled back on the slide of his pistol to make sure it was loaded.
"Now maybe you can answer one of those questions I mentioned, mainly what on the good Lord's earth is that?!" Jack said, as he pointed to a giant that had walked up to the building they were standing on.
The monster tried to brush Jack away with its arm, as if the Rider was just a fly ruining it's picnic. Jack stopped the colossal arm with his free hand while taking a couple shots at the giant's head with the other one that was holding his gun; which he enhanced with hellfire. All the rider's bullets did was blow away half the giants' head, but it quickly started to grow back.
"They regenerate!" Jack shouted in surprise.
He holstered his pistol just in time to stop the giant's other arm that came rushing at him with a great force. Jack held on effortlessly to the giant's arms, as the ugly beast struggled with much effort to break free from the rider's grasp.
"You boys wouldn't happen to have any tips on how to kill these things would you?" asked Jack.
Eren and Armin just stared in complete amazement at the show of power before them, until Armin was able to shake off the stun of the Rider's battle.
"There's a weak spot on the back of their neck, if you destroy it they'll die and their called titans!" Armin shouted to Jack.
"Thanks,"
Jack then tore off both of the titan's arms he then used one to knock off the beast's head, he then used both arms to beat the top of the neck repeatedly and when he was absolutely sure the monster was dead he let both the arms and body drop to the street below. He watched as the body and dismembered limbs start to steam and disintegrate before he walked back to the boys.
"Thanks for the help kid. Look I think we got off on the wrong foot, let's start over. My name is Jack," he said as he stretched out his hand for the boys to shake.
Eren walked up to Jack, grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously.
"Nice to meet you Jack. My Name is Eren, thank you for saving us and I'm really sorry about stabbing you earlier."
"Don't mention it Eren all water under the bridge,"
'My my this kid's special better keep an eye on him' Jack thought to himself.
"What about you blondie?" Jack asked the other boy standing behind Eren.
The other boy walked up to Jack and shook his hand, even though he was a little more skittish than his friend.
"My name is Armin, can I ask you a question Mr. Jack?" Armin asked timidly.
Jack chuckled a bit.
"Shoot, Armin," Jack answered.
"Are you a God?"
Jack curled over in hardy laughter as he had both met the real God and beings that considered themselves as such. He's even bested such beings in battle before. The two boys stared at him wondering what was so funny.
"No Armin I'm not a God in fact in the words of a man I consider a father there's only one God, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like this," Jack answered.
"Look fellas I'll explain more on what I am later. But right now we better make sure these titans don't make a snack out of everyone,"
Before the two boys could respond a large titan sprinted past the building they were standing on and turned a corner.
"Oh that can't be good," Jack said out loud.
"That's a deviant type, they're a lot smarter than the others and it must have the scent of a large group of people. That's why it ignored us," Armin explained.
"Well boys looks like duty calls. Can you still zip around on those doohickies of yours?" Jack asked.
"Yeah mine still works," Eren answered.
"Mine doesn't though," said Armin, slightly embarrassed.
"Then I guess you're with me let's go we've got to hurry," said Jack
Armin joined Jack who had walked to the edge of the roof, Jack whistled for Ayla who heeded her Rider's call, Armin was shocked at what he saw. The sight of a horse made of bones and fire was a bit overwhelming for him.
"What is that?" the boy asked.
Jack just chuckled and said. "My horse, ain't she a beaut? Look kid I promised I'd explain but we don't have time now,"
The Rider said as he grabbed Armin and leapt off the roof. The young boy screamed as they fell to the ground, but was relieved to see the fall had not harmed them, Jack lifted him onto Ayla and pulled out his katana. He strapped it onto his belt before saddling up himself.
"Hold on Armin this is goanna be one hell of a ride! HA! HA! HA!" Jack laughed loudly, as Ayla reared up on her hind legs and took off like a shot.
Armin was amazed at the speed they were going; he had never gone this fast before, not even on his 3DM gear. He watched as they quickly gained ground on the sprinting titan, soon they were hot on its heels. But before Jack could lasso it with one of his chains it suddenly turned a corner, there the Rider and his passenger saw what the hungry beast was after.
Up ahead there were a large group of people, all of who were in a panic on seeing the charging titan, that were trying to escape through a tunnel that was clogged with a large white bundle. The people tried desperately to push the bundle through in order to escape, all their efforts were in vain.
"We'll never cut it off in time!" Armin said.
"We don't have to," Jack answered.
The Rider stretched out his hand and instantly an enormous wall of hellfire erupted a few feet in front of the titan causing the beast to run full force into the barrier. The monster was thrown to the ground by the force of rebounding off the flames, it rolled on the street and bellowed in agony as its skin burned from the fires of the Rider, until Jack dismounted and yelled at the titan.
"Hey! Tall pale and ugly, I didn't hear anyone ring the dinner bell, Where you off to in such a hurry?" Jack mocked.
The titan picked itself up and grinned at what it thought was its next meal, it charged towards Jack and lunged at the Rider, one hand outstretched in order to grab Jack.
"Bring it," Jack challenged.
He smacked away the large hand grabbing for him, and then delivered a powerful right jab to the monster's jaw, causing it to shut its mouth with such force that its teeth shattered. The monster was slammed into a row of buildings left of the Rider, and rolled onto the street in a heap.
"Get up you ugly son of a bitch! I'm not finished with you yet!" Jack yelled.
The titan got on all fours and charged at the Rider. Jack unsheathed his katana and sliced through the rampaging monster's arms, causing it to fly past him and crash into the street as Jack sheathed his weapon and turn to face the beast. The titan sat on its knees and roared in pain from losing its limbs even though they started to grow back.
"Shut up!" Jack screamed as he shot out a chain that wrapped around the monster's head.
Jack then pulled on the chain forcing the beast to the ground flat on its stomach. Jack walked up to the titan, but before it could lash out the Rider grabbed onto its chin and upper lip, forcing its mouth shut.
"I don't see what you and your ugly pals see in eating people, but if you're so hungry? Have a snack on me!" he said.
He then took a large breath as he opened the titan's mouth; he then breathed a huge ball of hellfire down the beast's throat. The fire melted the monster's teeth, and shot through its eye sockets. Jack kept the flames flowing until he smelt the neck burning and the seeced his oral flamethrower, he let the head fall to the ground, it's eyes burnt out and teeth melted away the carcass quickly began to disintegrate.
Jack walked back to Ayla and Armin, and discovered Eren had joined them, by the excited look on his face he witnessed most of the battle and was flabbergasted at the power of his new supernatural friend.
"You kids enjoy the show?" Jack asked.
"WOW!" the boys said in unison.
"That was amazing I've never seen anything...MIKASA NO!" Eren shouted.
"What?" Jack questioned.
Suddenly a girl, who shared the same uniform as Eren and Armin, along with an added red scarf, sliced the Rider's head off with her swords.
The girl moved so fast she flew past the decapitated body and stopped in front of Eren and Armin. Eren just stared with rage at her.
"Mikasa he was our friend! Why did you do that?" he shouted.
"Guys…" Armim quietly said.
"Friend?! What do you mean that thing wasn't even human? It was probably some new titan!" the girl identified as Mikasa argued back.
"Uh Guys..." Armin said again.
"WHAT! Have you ever seen a titan human size?! I haven't, beside it he was killing titans like they were nothing; he could have helped!"
"Guys..." Armin tried a third time.
"How was I supposed to know that Eren?! I just saw a demon approach my friends, I was just trying to protect you two!"
"GUYS!" Armin finally shouted.
"WHAT?!" the two arguing teens shot back.
Armin just pointed behind them, they both turned and their eyes went wide at what they saw. The now headless Rider's body was still standing, but now his arms were across his chest, and his foot was tapping in an irritated fashion. The three teens just stared in bewilderment until they heard.
"YOUNG LADY!"
They all three quickly looked down to see Jack's skull still flaming and now yelling in an annoyed voice.
"Is that how your parents taught you how to greet strangers?! You know what considering most strangers, that's not a bad way to say hi, but in this case it's a bit much, don't you think? I mean I'm already dead, technically,"
They heard a loud thud and turned to see Armin had fainted.
"Oh dear." Jack said. "Well we'll get to him in a minute. Miss do you mind giving my body back my skull?"
Mikasa just stared in shock at the talking flaming skull unable to process what was happening.
"Very well then, Eren would you do the honours please?" Jack asked.
Eren walked up to the skull picked it up and placed it into Jack's awaiting hands.
"Thank you." Jack said.
He then placed his skull back on top of his body and shifted it into place with a few light cracking sounds, he then picked up his fedora that had fallen off as well, and placed it back on his head. He walked over to the unconscious Armin. He knelt down and gave the boy a few gentle pats to his cheeks in order to bring him around; Armin's eyes fluttered open and he slightly jumped back at the sight of Jack.
"It's ok Armin. I know I'm not the most pleasant sight to wake up to, let me help you up." Jack offered.
He gently lifted the boy by the arm back to his feet. When he was sure he was steady he walked back to Mikasa and Eren.
"Now then who is this Eren?" the Rider asked.
"Jack, this is my sister Mikasa," Eren answered. "Mikasa this is Jack...I'm not sure what he is but he saved Armin's and mine lives,"
Jack took Mikasa's hand and gently lifted it to his teeth as if to kiss it, she was surprise to see the flames did not burn her. Jack released her hand, and then held his fedora over his heart and gave a slight bow.
"Please to meet you Mikasa, Jack Claymore, at your service," he said.
"I-it's nice to meet you, is it true did you save them?"Mikasa asked.
"Well I'm sure they could of handled it themselves but I helped..umph!"
Jack was cut short as Mikasa wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug, tears streaming down her face at the thought of losing the two people she cared so much about, her only family in this hell of a world.
"Thank you," she quietly said as she sobbed.
"Hey now, it's ok they're fine," Jack said, as he pried Mikasa off him and wiped her tears from her eyes with a handkerchief he pulled from his pocket.
"Now if you excuse me I have to deal with this mess," Jack said.
He turned towards the wall of flames that he left up during his fight with the titan, and with a snap of his finger it died away. He walked towards the crowd of people all of which stared in shock at the Rider before them.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! You all could have been eaten what is this crap blocking your way!?" Jack asked angrily.
"That's not crap they are my possessions!" an angry voice said from the crowd.
A short fat man walked up to Jack and though there was much fear in his eyes he was determined to give the Rider a piece of his mind.
"Listen here I don't know what you are but that is my merchandise and I demand it goes first." the fat man argued.
"Let me get this straight you put all these people's lives at risk just to move your junk. Well sir since this useless stuff is very important to you let me take care of it personally," Jack said.
He then lifted the horseman with one arm and pointed at the large bundle of the man's merchandise, and fired a shot that sent a huge fire ball towards it; the fire quickly spread over the man's possessions and as quickly as it started it ended leaving nothing but ash. The man just stared a gasped at the loss of his goods, but quickly turned to address the Rider.
"Do you have any idea who I am and what you just did!"
Jack said not a word but like a flash clamped his hand tightly around the man's throat and lifted him off the ground as he struggled and kick against the Rider's hold.
"You listen well mortal, I don't care if you're Abraham Lincoln's grandmother, you put all these people at risk of being eaten, and you are very lucky that none of them died because if they had their blood would be on your soul, and then you'd be mine. If I ever hear of you doing something like this again I will hunt you down and make you wish a titan had gotten to you first. Do I make myself clear?!" Jack said.
"Yes." the man gaged.
"Good now crawl away like the worm you are before I change my mind," Jack dropped the man who coughed and gasped for air as he ran off.
"FREEZE!" an authoritive voice came from behind Jack he turned to see that several other soldiers had surrounded him and had all their weapons pointed threateningly towards him.
"Crap" Jack said.
