( number 1 is I will be changing the ending in the game.) (number 2 is that someone that died in the series will be saved in this story. it's some one I really liked both in the anime and the game that died a needless death.) also I don't own any thing attack on Titan. I do however own my oc but not his name or any reference he makes. also just to let ya know I am not really going to describe characters that much mainly cause I'm terrible at it now Let's ROLLOUT!
taking
thinking
yelling
no pov
we see come a tall imtemedating that had taken skin, was bald but sported a goatee and had deep sunken eyes adding to his intimidation wearing a long training corps coay
(A/N Keith sadies) as he walks through a platoon of young teens in training cadet uniforms ( you guys know the look right it's the uniform withe the swords on it) stopping in front of a young boy with blond hair and blue eyes."you little...!" he yelled as the young man performed the salute.
"What do they call you?!" shadis asked. "Armin Artlert from Shiganshina District!" the young now identified as arimin answered. "I see! That's a ridiculous name! Did your parents give it to you? shadis asked" " my grandfather did, sir!"the answered. "Artlert! why you here?!" To help humanity achive victory!" arimin said.
" That's wonderful to hear! we can feed you to the titans! Third row! about face!" sadies yelled as grabed armin's head and turned him around as those next to him did an about face. as shadis walked in between the third row. and walked up to a tall young light brown headed Teen. " what do they call you?!"he said. as the young performed the salute." Jean kirschtien,from the Trost
district! jean answered." and
why are you here?!" sadies asked. ...to join the military police regiment and live in the interior!" jean said.
" oh... you wanna live in the interior, do you?" sadies asked. " Yes sir!" jean said.
before all of a sudden sadies headbutted him send the poor lade to the ground." Who said you could sit?! if you can't handle this, than forget about the military police!" sadies said as walked further down the row Tworards a average tall young man with sharp features with with light green eyes, dark brown hair that was neatly kept but and had a hair or two hanging on his forehead. on his right cheek was a star shaped scar that was obvious going to be permanent no matter he did. as shadis stood in front and bent down slightly
to look the cadet straight in the eyes." what do they call you?!"sadies yelled.
zoro's pov...
Crap! he's coming this way. I thought to myself as I turned my head forward. as the commander stood in front me and bent down slightly to look me in the eye." what do they call you?!
he yelled as he stood back up straight. as I performed the salute " Zoro Roronoa from shiganshina District Sir!" I responded."Roronoa,
is it? Another good-for-nothing, pathetic-sounding name! What are you doing here, squirt?" he asked me.
I've come to recapture shiganshina and take out the armoured Titan Sir!
" oh aiming hight are we I admire your commitment!
We'll post you right at the front. you can be a light snack for the Titans before they start the main meal make sure to mark your body so they have some way to identify your corpse!
(A/N I'm gonna skip the rest because the rest happened just like in the anime) he yelled as he walked away countuing the right of passage of grilling up the cadets. as mentaly let out a sigh of relief. glad he was walking away. though I found it funny when sometime later he found some girl named Sasha braus eating a potato in formation.but the funny part is when she she said she give him half but didn't instead she barely broke any of it off and gave him the smaller piece. when she did that I almost busted out laughing now she is someone I wouldn't mind getting to know. and the fact that she was pretty cute only helped in the matter.
no pov..
" Okay, 104th cadets, listen up!" he yelled out. Right now, all you're good for is feeding to the titans to slow them down! But we're gonna you how to fight them! so If you don't wanna end Iona's Titan fodder, I suggest you learn, and you learn fast! Today we'll be drilling you in proper use of ODM gear! if any of you dopes are feeling clumsy, pick up your gear right now and go back to the interior!
...Okay, let's see some action! he yelled as they all saluted. " Yes Sir" they all yelled.
a couple days later Zoro's pov...
" when the gun goes off take off running reach the check for the next phase of training" yes sir all of us yelled. BOOM! as the gun went off we all took off running with me slightly ahead activating my gear I shot anchors at the rocks boosting my self with a controlled burst of gas. swinging from the left as I came upon a corner detaching the once again using a small burst of gas. I swung myself up as high as I could but it wasn't very smooth unleashing another burst of gear's gas came turning my hips a certain way using the area to propel my self into the second part of the area. after wards I could see a lot of people coming up behind
I could tell they could use their gear pretty well but none of that mattered if didn't know "how" to use it
sorry guys but I'm coming in first. I thought to myself.
as I aimed for the highest part of the wall anchored on to it going up as high as I could I deanchored my gear
aimed it downwards as my anchors shot to the ground as I used my gas supply to boost myself down letting gravity , inertia and a secondary boost do All the work as I landed on the ground with a bit of a smirk on my face at my little victory as all the others landed next me.
" roronoa you ranked first in movement you'd make a great decoy! commander" sadis said." now we're gonna learn the basics of titan slaying attach your anchors to neck to cut the nape of attack the ankels.
small the skip.
the second part was pretty easy everyone was done pretty fast as we made our way to the woods for the finale drill of the day. the goal was to destroy as many targets that we could
" if I got a target in my sights don't you guy dare try to steal it " jean told Sasha and Connie as that had decided to follow him.
"don't be lame jean a girl with average height and a slender figure. with light gold eyes and brown hair kept in a ponytail that reached the base of her neck her bangs
are slightly parted to the left cascading down each side of her face and stopping around the middle of her neck. there's no rules. when it comes to stealing kills " she said with a smile.
"yea it's your fault for letting someone else steal your kills" Connie said he was a pretty short guy. He has a slim build, with gray eyes, and his brown hair is distinctively shaved. they finished talking as i came out of nowhere and took out the nape of the target they where going for. as they stared up at me in supries I mearly smirked at them.
"sorry guys but you should really be more focused" I said to them as took off to my next target as a guy I recognize as Bertholdt who is a rather tall, slender young man. He has short, dark hair, pale green eyes, thin eyebrows and a elongated face. as he looked at me then back at the target "your movements are great but keep this up and you'll be out shined by the others" he said not looking at me. i mearly smirked and increased my speed taking out the nape before he could. " heh challenge accepted bub! let's see if you can keep up" I said leaving him in the dust as I went about taking out 4 more targets.
all of suddenly a whistle blew "traing is over the in first place is Reiner Braun."commander shadis yelled. I recognized the guy among the crowd he had short blond hair, hazel eyes, and a defined facial structure. His large height, broad shoulders, and serious expression on his face. "anyone who wants to can stay for a bit of more training he yelled.
small scene change..
as others desperced into other areas I was going for a target how ever my anchors failed and I began falling. Are you okay?! reiner asked as he came out of nowhere and stoped me from falling. as he turned and past "hurry haul him up! he yelled as as bertholdt came from my right and helped. as we landed on a giant tree branch. " geez that was reckless! way to lose position!"reined said as all three of us took deep breaths them from being tired and me from shock.
"but everything worked out were fine. let's head back. bertholdt said. as we both took off each in our own direction. but I couldn't shake the feeling that me and reined had met before.
back at the barracks
" hey there " someone behind me said. as I turned around I noticed it was some one around my height
with jet black mop hair and blue eyes. I recognized him as eren jaeger he was a passion it solder that wanted to join the scouts l to kill all the Titans he could the two of us got along pretty well . "Tough training again, to day huh? But at this rate It won't be long before we've totally mastered the ODM gear. eren said. but if it helps me become a better soldier so that I can kill more Titians, then I'll do training like this twenty-four seven. he said with as much passion and hatred that it reminded me of the armored Titan. as my clenched at the memory." yeah you got that right if this keeps up we'll be soldiers in no time" I said with a grin plastered on my cheeks. "...oh, that reminds me. Sadies was looking for you. You can probably still catch him at the training grounds if you go now."he told me. "thanks for the info him told as I made my way to the training grounds
scene change
as I walked down the path to the training field I noticed three figures up ahead one I recognized as commander sadies and two other people who I recognized from the 104th cadets one had blond hair with pronounced sideburns,
wearing the standard trainee uniform. the other was a young girl with light, fair skin. She had a slender figure and was of average height. In addition, she had gray eyes and thick black hair that extended past her shoulders. Her hair was parted in the middle and tied in loose pigtails with light-blue hair ties. she wore the standard cadet uniform and wore a white polo shirt underneath her jacket. " isn't that Thomas and Mina?" I thought to myself as I began zeroing in on their conversation
" Okay, you maggots! if your not in it to win it, you can pack your bags and ship out to the interior right now!"Sadies yelled at them.
as he turned to Thomas.
" Thomas Wander! Even a waste of space like you could make it in the the interior! They're low on numbers, son." he told him.
as he turned his attention to Mina."And you Mina Carolina! Born in a pigsty, weren't you? Then go back and live with the swine, kiddo! Titans don't eat pork!" he yelled at her. ...Although I dunno if the pigs would take a runt like you in! he yelled. as he walked away and I walked up to them. as they turned around and watched. "He didn't have to be so harsh. I'm doing my best." Thomas said.
" I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take... Maybe the life of a pig is better" she said with a down caste expression
" hey now don't let him get to you. you just gotta work hard and make him eat his words!" I said with a grin on my face pumped my fist I. air. " I AM working hard." Thomas said with the same expression. " But if I'm honest I really don't see how I'm going to improve my training results." he said
" I know! I'm trying my hardest already, and look where it's gotten me. What do you think we should do,
Roronoa? she asked me.
" you guys just need to to watch and learn from the high-flyers" I told them.
" watch and learn...?" mina asked with a confused look on her face. as realizationstruck her as she brought her hand up to her chin and started tapping it.
"well there are certainly a lot of really talented people among our peers. I guess if we studied their strong points, it could help us improve." she said scratching her head a bit.
" study their strong point Huh? Yeah, if we mad a conscious effort to do that,
it could make a real difference actually.Okay, why don't we each do that and then get together again later to compare results? You can join in too,Roronoa. I mean it was your idea, right?" he said." alright but please call me Zoro " I told them. as i began walking back to the barracks.
however in front of the entrance to the training grounds. commander Sadies was there waiting for me." You need to push yourself to increase your skills. Andlearn from your peers. Some of them are really talented. Rookies like you need to spend a lot of time with other soldiers identifying their strengths and try to copy them. We're done here get back to the barracks. he ordered as I nodded and ran off.
back at the barracks...
when I got back to the barracks I found eren waiting for me. "hey there" I said walking up to him.
"you found Sadies then, huh?" he asked me.
" you got that right"
answered him remembering the the above commander Sadies gave me. " We've got night-time
training later, don't we? Man, my mind's willing, but my body's kinda had enough!" Yeah me too" i said. honestly that training was just down right back braking" I thought to myself.
"It's tough Huh? But we've gotta push through, Maybe we should go get some rest now while we can " Training's tough, that's for sure, but we've gotta learn how to fight and we've gotta learn fast!"he said.
around 5 minutes later
as I was walking around trying to good memorizes where every thing was when I heard some one call out to me. " Hey, you there!
...Yeah, you ." I heard a voice call out as I turned around I realized the person talking to. me was a tall, well-built man with short blond hair, a thin dark mustache. He wore the typical uniform of thegarrison regiment along with a v-neck shirt underneath. " here you dropped this." he said said as he handed it to me. " what is it a journal" he asked? " yeah actualy thank for returning this it means a lot to me" I said. " Right, take care not to drop anything else, won't you?
so...you're one of the new 104th Corps cadets, huh?"
" indeed I am names Zoro Roronoa pleasure to meet you" i answered. " but if I may ask who are you?" I asked him. " ah I forget to introduce myself I'm Haynes. I'm a captain in the Garrison. and I'm guessing that if your from the 104th, you probably know Eren jaeger, do you? " he asked.
"you'd be correct I practically stood not that far from eren when I was on a boat escapeing shiganshina
his words of revenge against the Titans are. the reason I decided to join the military"I told him.
" is that so? You were in shiganshina, too,huh? Like Eren, me and the others." he said with a sad frown on his face as of he was remembering that day. but stopped after a subtle but deep breath. "well, in that case, you probably know Mikasa and Armin too I guess. They're 104th cadets from shiganshina as well.
They've all lost their parents, so... well, I'm kind of like a father to them now. or something like that, anyway. But seeing as you're from our district as well, feel free to to come to me if you ever got a problem okay?" he asked.
" I appreciate it thanks" I told him and I genuinely meant it I had been all alone after my parents died in shiganshina like a lot of others . it was nice to know there were others like me close by. "okay, well, next time maybe bring eren and the others along with you, huh? anyway, see you around. and, um... Sorry, but I did take a peek inside that journal of yours before. he told as I looked him in the eye. And I've gotta say, I'm
impressed with your attention to detail! That's a
quality we need in our troops. I bet that journal will come in handy for you someday. Keep up the good work, soldier " he told me. as he walked away." he seemed like a nice guy"I thought to myself.
about an hour later
as I was walking around the plaza I saw Arimin up ahead he seemed like he was thinking about something. " hey Arimin how you look like you got some on your mind"I asked him? " I'm fine zoro that training this afternoon . I was really struggling to keep up. But I was impressed with how well though-out it was. it really brought the stuff we've been studying in class to life." he said. " yeah but I gotta personally I'm more of action physical training kinda guy. but even I could see how well they thought that out." I said to him.
" That reminds me didn't Reiner help to day in training this afternoon? You should go say thanks, don't you think? Arimin asked.
" good point I'll go see if I can find him. see you later Arimin." I waved as I went to find Reiner and Bethdolt.
time skip...
" there they are. I thought to myself as I saw them just up ahead. "Hey there!" I yelled walking up to them. as Bethdolt looks my
"oh, Zoro it's you don't tell me you've sought us out out just to thanks" he said.
"you'd be right you guys really saved my ass to day I owe you one." said with a greatful smile on my face.
" we help each other out, right? That's what soldiers do. You don't have to make a big deal of it every time." Reiner said with a serious look on his face.
" Reiner! Bertholdt! you guys here?" Erens asked out of nowhere. as he and Armin walked up to us.
" You guys too? What's the deal? Reiner asked confused on why everyone was seeking them out.
" You two are both experts with ODM gear, right? Gimme some pointers! Please?" Eren half begged half asked.
back at the cadet Qauters
"...Sorry, there's not much I can I can tell you." Reiner said " No... " eren said with a down caste expression.
" You three are from shiganshina aren't you so why in the did you sign up for this job when you know how terrible the Titans can be. bertholdt asked. " For me, i just couldn't stand by and watch after I lost my family to this regime's ridiculous territory reclaiming strategy. " Arimin said with a sorrow look on his face. " So... where are you two from originally?"Arimin asked.
"Me and Reiner come from a little village in the mountains southeast of wall maria" bertholdt answered. " so..." eren droned on understanding what had happened. "There
was no time to get word to the village when the Titans showed up that day. I don't really remember much about what happened after that. I signed up hoping to join the MPs and serve behind wall Sina, but if that's no good, maybe I'll just jack it all in... it's not like I can decide." bertholdt said looking sad with small frown on his face. it's a good thing to see the value of your own life, you know. Armin told him.
"I just want to get back to my hometown. That's all I'm interested in. How about you, Eren?" Reiner asked
" I vowed to slay them all. to kill every last Titan with my bare hands if have to." he said with determination and hatred shining clear in his eyes. "how about you Zoro?
What made you want to join up?" Reiner asked. as. my mind flashedback to that day. " when wall Maria fell my parents and I tried to evacuate but when the armored Titan came bursting through the inner gate deberi came flying out of nowhere. when I turned around I saw a huge bolder about to crush me but my parents pushede out of the way. But they were killed in my place. when the deberi land on them tiny pieces got sent flying all over the place. one of them hit my cheek" I said as put touched my scar. " After that I swore that I'd kill the armored Titan and reclaim my home." told them. "so you were there too, were you? My Mother was killed that day..." he said with great amounts of understanding as knew were I was coming from." it's no surprise that you wanted to become a cadet after that. For vengeance..." Arimin said understanding my motivation. " Yeah I can see that. bertholdt said said looking down as if he was remembering a bad memory. " Well' it sounds like I'm not the only one who wants to reclaim the place they're from. And for that, we've got to train. Reiner said as his eyes shined with determination.
" I wonder if that day will ever come... " Armin asked.
" Who knows? But one thing Is fore sure, if we don't try, nothing ever going to to change. The first step is joining the corps." Reiner said " yeah that's it!" Eren said raising his voice a bit.
A/N so what do you guy's think did I do good. I'm not sure if we got to see. zoro's thoughts that much butbut you understand what kind of person he is. I'm going to avoid a gary-stue fic If I can. But what did or guys think of the ODM gear traing good or what. any way please, please review this story or flames till n3xt time I'm bulklock the grimhead now let's ROLLOUT !
