Hello everyone, glad to see you are enjoying the story thus far. I certainly hope to keep it that way, now there isn't a ton to say about this story yet, seeing as it's just beginning and it's still in progress. But I do have several twists and turns in store for you all that I hope you'll enjoy.
Now before I begin, I will be taking oc's just like in my other story. However this one will be a bit different, seeing as obviously in this world demons and jinchuuriki aren't exactly thing unless you count out favorite blonde. But I will be creating a ref sheet for those interested to fill out and by the time I post this is should be up on my page, I will say right now though.
IF YOU WANT A TITAN SHIFTER DO NOT EXPECT TO IMMEDIATELY BE IN THE STORY. Also, don't just throw in a titan shifter oc and expect to be tossed in either. I will only take a select few IF I even decide to take any. However, you can be a member of the scouts, the military, whatever else you'd like. But just don't get your hopes super high that you'll see your oc right away
And finally, the pole result is in. We had a few last second votes that came in and it is locked in a dead tie between Adult/The last Naruto in dbz world and Naruto being born or turned into a saiyan Hybrid. So I will begin working on an idea that will hopefully be a good balance between them both. I'll have that one up and running in no time I assure you. Now to get to what you've all been waiting for!
The Lost Titan
Chapter One
Page two
Their first mission….
Everything went to hell pretty much right off the bat, it wasn't even really supposed to be a mission. They were just doing the usual patrol and going about their business, hell some people, mainly Naruto, were even joking around and having fun. And then out of the blue it happened.
By now Eren Jaeger had graduated with his friends in the top ten of his class. He still dreamed of the day when he could fight the monsters that slaughtered his mother and so many others, but now he was beginning to see past the hate that had filled him so long ago. The hate when his mother had died and watching loved ones die left and right had lessened with time. But this is not allowed to happen. He can never grow beyond the raw, seething, burning hatred that consumed him back then.
And suddenly without warning he got his chance, a burst of light caught his attention as he turned and saw a face he thought he would never see again. The Colossal Titan had reappeared, standing there and looking at the scouts on the wall. Each of them had wide eyes and couldn't even muster up a thought of what to do now. But all of that stopped as they saw the massive leg of the Colossal Titan raise up, with it's intent very clear as it swung forward with ungodly force.
Right into Wall Maria
Just like before a shower of debris and giant rocks were sent flying from the kick that blew a hole clean through the wall, causing even more panic amongst the scouts on the wall. Though Eren was the first to snap out of his daze and jump into action.
"So there you are," Eren whispered, fixed to the inner side of Wall Rose. He activated his 3D Maneuver Gear, sending him skyrocketing up and over the top of the wall. His sights immediately went to the monster's neck and he sprinted up its arm and leaped into the air, his swords raised high.
The Colossal Titan the let out a massive burst of concentrated steam and was consumed by it before Eren even got close.
"Gahh!" He fell into the steam and vanished from view. Coils shots out of the mist and stabbed into the top of the wall, pulling Eren out. He landed heavily, steam visibly rolling off of his body, "That's hot."
"Eren!" His friends rushed to his side, staring at the vanishing fog to reveal no trace of the massive Titan anywhere, as if it just... vanished. They turned to the hole in the wall as Titans stampeded through the gap, grins on their faces.
"We have gotta do something," Jean muttered as he turned back to the group. "Let's go," he yelled and leapt over the edge. First one-by-one, then two's and three's, the others leapt after him. They split into two groups; one would head into the city and begin the evacuation and prepare the other soldiers, the other would slow down the Titans.
None of them really noticed the absence of Naruto though, as even Mikasa had been in too much of a rush and had taken off, assuming that he'd gone with the other team.
Naruto himself had taken off the minute the first titan got through the wall, not even thinking it through really as he just jumped from the wall and had begun literally running down the wall. His adrenaline coursing through his body and propelling him, not even registering that he was running down a completely vertical surface as he was subconsciously pushing chakra to his feet to allow him to stick to the wall. Drawing his blades he prepared to cut open the firs titan as soon as he drew close enough. Jumping from the wall he reared the blades back and went in for the kill shot.
And missed.
Tumbling to the ground and rolling a good ten feet before coming to a stop the teen groaned a little while getting up, seeing that the titan was now looking at him and moving in his direction. He needed to act quick, and began to move on instinct once again as he dashed forward, dodging the hand that attempted to snatch him up before jumping forward and swinging at the back of the beast's legs.
The Titan collapsed as the tendons supporting it were severed and it tumbled to the ground. Steam poured off of its foot, but its wound didn't heal with the oversized splinter in it. A second Titan walked past the downed one, even taller than the first, as it barreled toward the blue-eyed man. Without any weapons, insufficient time or space between them to get away, the man did the only logical thing anyone would do in this situation. He ran anyway.
*Scene Change*
Armin screamed as he watched his friend devoured right in front of him, mere feet away. Eren was slowly by the Titan and the blond-boy literally watched as Eren Jaeger's body travelled down the creatures throat. One of his best friends had just been eaten because he had been too careless too afraid to react, and now his friend was gone for good because of him.
He was shaken out of his horror when the Titan reached for him too and tried to get a footing. Its hand touched him and tried to grasp him, but he frantically pushed away from it and stumbled for the edge of the roof, falling down to the street.
He crashed down with a heavy thud, blood seeping out of his mouth as the vital liquid flowed into his lungs. The Titan turned to him and what was left of his mind that worked activated his Maneuver Gear and tore away at high speeds.
Mikasa on the other hand surveyed the crowds evacuating through the refortified gates, bristling with cannons crewed by nervous, trigger-happy soldiers into the interior of Wall Rose. A deceptively strong but slender hand reached up and coiled in the scarf she wore all the time, eyes closing and briefly travelling through the rather traumatic memories of her life to when she got this scarf from her adoptive brother.
Her father killed in cold blood, her mother killed resisting as slave traders schemed to kidnap and sell the two to some rich people in the capital city. She had been broken, terrified, as she just lay there doing nothing. Then, suddenly, one of the slavers collapsed in a pool of blood. A boy, no older than herself, stood in front of the man with a bloody knife in his hand. The other slaver, enraged, charged after the boy as he drifted seamlessly back out the door he came, charging in moments later with a spear embedded in the vile man's torso.
He didn't notice the third and final slaver as he reappeared from wherever he had been, catching the boy armed only with the key to Mikasa's now unlocked shackles. The man was going to suffocate him. Powerless, the boy told her to fight and live, so she did.
Upon the arrival of Dr. Jaeger, the boy's father, along with the soldiers he had brought, she stood before the two. She held the scarf Eren had just given and wrapped around her close to her face and shoulders, banishing the cold with the warmth that it still held from the boy. "What am I supposed to do now, Dr. Jaeger," she asked, looking at nothing.
The doctor looked at his son, Eren, and then back at her. He smiled kindly, "Why don't you come with us, Mikasa? Back to our home." Mikasa looked up, eyes only vaguely restored to their former luster and stared at the man. He simply tilted his head to one side, still smiling with that smile that parents learned to do when comforting an upset child.
Mikasa turned to Eren as well, eyes now brighter as they searched for something. Approval, perhaps? The young man didn't seem comfortable with it. "What are you looking at," he asked, grabbing her hand, "Let's go home." The girl's eyes were alive again as tears threatened to spill over as she was just adopted, officially or not, into the Jaeger family and her new brother tugged her along gently as they followed their father home.
Now their little family had grown even more with the addition of Armin and, Naruto. Even in the current situation her cheeks flushed just a little at the thought of the blonde ball of energy. When he'd come around he'd managed to help them both out more than even he knew about, he'd brought Eren out of his shell a bit and helped him to cope with all of his anger a bit, he still had a long ways to go though. But with Naruto there she just knew that they could accomplish anything
Mikasa was released from her memories as her eyes opened. -Please don't worry, Eren, Naruto- she thought, -I'm not gonna lose. Just hold on-
*Elsewhere*
A Titan wandered down an empty street, The same one that had taken the life of Eren. It seemed to be completely indifferent to the distant screams of people being eaten alive. Just going about its business and looking for a fresh kill.
But that all stopped as a massive hand and arm suddenly shot out through its mouth, causing it to stop walking and gag as it choked on the limb before it retracted and the Titan fell to the ground with a resounding thud.
The Titan's back then began to shift and contort as something large seemed to be growing inside of it. And then it just exploded in a shower of blood and gore, blanketing the street a steaming red. The head was the only thing remotely intact as it crashed into the ground and went rolling to the edge of the street. A massive figure, taller than the one it had replaced, was hunched over as the blood coating it sizzled. It rose to its full height and stood with its back straight. Its eyes, piercing and ferocious, opened and looked about wildly before focusing. Before the steam fully cleared though it began to move, walking away from the gorey display it had created upod it's arrival/birth.
*Scene Change*
The Titan was running like mad, arms waving about in a frenzy as it chased after the blond morsel it had been chasing for the better part of twenty minutes now, an unexpectedly difficult thing. The human was like a rubber ball on steroids straight out of hell as he shot from every angle and direction and surface he could, switching between his maneuvering gear and running across whatever surface he could. He went from on the ground to the immediate left of the Titan, to the end of the street, to the opposite end then quickly he rounded a corner as fast as he could, bouncing on one foot a few times in order to slow himself enough to make the turn. It was truly an odd display to behold as he looked almost like a cartoon character trying to outwit the larger foe with silly cartoonie logic.
Naruto on the other hand wasn't even sure how much longer he could keep this up, already feeling the strain of all that moving beginning to weigh on him.
The next thing to happen only served to make things worse as he found himself running into an ally to hopefully outsmart or outsize his pursuer with the small passageway.
Only to find himself running into a dead end ally.
"Oh, this… might not be very good" He said to himself as he looked back to see the titan trying to force its body into the tiny passage.
*Scene Change*
Razor-sharp and with deadly potency, splitting flesh like hot butter. Knees crashed, then buildings collapsed. Mikasa sailed through the air like a bolt of lightning, other soldiers trailing far behind her as she flew through the air like a bird of prey, hunting down Titans. After finding out about Eren she rushed off in a fit of rage, only seeing red after the titans had taken the only thing close to a brother she had. And now here she was, cutting down monster after monster to repay the blood they spilled.
"Mikasa's amazing," Connie shouted over the rain and wind.
"she's going so fast!" Armin spoke as his eyes focused on the girl as she went twice as fast as any one of them. 'No,' his eyes widened, 'She is using too much gas. At this rate she'll run out in minutes!' The girl's wires retracted into her gear and she spun around in the rain, twirling like a ballerina as her swords struck down another Titan before dashing away.
Mikasa flew through the air, eyes unfocused with tears, swords twirling, gas forming a mist behind her as she caught sight of another titan. But before she made it this time, the mist thinned and vanished and she fell to the rooftops, vanishing from the view of her allies.
"Mikasa!"
Her head smashed into the ground first as she came down hard. Her eyes were dull as rain beat down on her body, she couldn't seem to focus on anything other than the devastating fact. 'Eren, he's dead.' Something wet rolled down her cheek as she spotted a titan coming into the ally she was in.
The distant pounding of footsteps became rhythmic, earth-shaking, as a Titan approached. Mikasa's sword, only her fingertips touching the weapon as it rounded a corner and spotted her.
At first she was on the verge of simply giving up, of letting herself be taken by the beast and joining her brother in the next life. But then she began to remember, images and flashes.
Naruto
Eren
Armin
She saw flashes of them all, their times together and the times they were happy. The fun they had together as she looked up at the approaching monster, clenching her fist on the blade.
-No, I can't give up here. To give up and let myself be killed is to let my memories die with me. I won't let that happen, no matter what it takes I won't stop fighting! I swear it!- She told herself as she readied her blade and gave a yell, only to hear a second, much louder yell behind her and to find herself no longer on the ground as an earthshaking stomp hit behind her. The foot landed so close it literally caused her to leave the ground and be thrown a bit until she landed on her belly.
Looking up she saw the most shocking thing she ever thought she'd see, a fifteen meter titan standing over the beast it had knocked down while raising its foot before slamming it down on the kill spot at the nape of the neck, ending the titan's life before it could move again.
-Wh… what?!-
Armin and Connie had split from the group to search for Mikasa, the rest heading to the supply depot without them, while they scoured the streets. Finding a single person in a deserted city should be easy with their Maneuver Gear, but that hadn't been taking into account the fact that Trost was not a small city.
The roar of a Titan drew the blond boy's eyes and saw a street, partially annihilated by a rampaging Titan, and Mikasa on her knees in the middle of it.
Armin shot along the ground and snatched her away like a bird of prey as he took to the rooftops. They crashed down heavily and rolled with it to lessen the blow. Connie landed next to them, and asked if they were okay.
"Yeah, we're both okay from what it seems" Armin answered as Mikasa looked between them.
"Have either of you seen Naruto?" The worry was clear in her voice as the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"He has to have gone toward the depot with the others" Connie said, earning nods from the two before he looked behind Mikasa in fear "This is bad, there are two 15 meter-class Titans right there!"
Mikasa turned behind her, seeing the titan that saved her as she shook her head and tried to explain, but Armin saw the steaming corpse of a fallen Titan and was baffled.
As if on cue to help prove Mikasa's point the short haired Titan charged and was almost immediately decapitated with a single swing of the other titan's fist. This left them all shocked, though Mikasa least of all, as they watched the head sail by and crash into a tower in the distance. They then turned to see that the victor began to pulverize what was left of the Titan, stomping on the nape of its neck several times before releasing a berserker's roar as it began moving once more.
"The Titan just took out one of its own kind," Connie said in shock.
"Exactly," Mikasa said, turning to the two of them and back to her cold and stoic self, "And I have a plan where we can take advantage of that."
*Scene change*
Mikasa dodged and slashed through the Titans as little more than a blur, swooping down on the unsuspecting beasts like some bird of prey as it spotted its next meal. Metal lashed out and stabbed and bore through flesh like steel serpents, carving them to pieces and letting them fall. Armin and Connie hot on her heels as they etched out a path straight to their trapped Comrades, the Abnormal Titan crushing any of its kind that dared appear before it. Guiding it towards the Trost supply depot to save their comrades.
Mikasa paused and headed toward the depot, she and her friends just behind the Abnormal now. She looked over her shoulder briefly and she could swear for just a minute she saw him, a small flash of blonde hair before it was gone. But that couldn't really be Naruto could it, no, he had to be at the depot waiting for them, probably with one of his little jokes about them taking too long or something.
She crashed through a window and landed with her friends in front of a shocked Jean, standing up as Jean looked out the window at the titan that had saved them from becoming a snack.
"Wh..what?"
