Ch.3 The Colossal Titan & The Twili Beast are Here

"Pick up the pace! Run, you lead-footed laggards!" Keith shouts as he pulls back a bit to the one lagging behind Armin "What's your problem, Arlelt?! You're dragging your feet! Too heavy for you?! Maybe you'd prefer I let you drop your gear?! If this were a real mission, you'd be Titan food by now!" Keith spat out at Armin, not wanting for his colleague to be dropped out, Reiner reach over and grabbed Armin's pack to carry it for him "Damn Give it here! You're gonna fail out at this rate! We're being graded today!"

But then, Armin pointed out "But you'll get points marked off too if you do that." Reiner bark back "Then make the grade without getting found out! Before I change my mind!" Keith Shadis starts his monologuing 'Reiner Braun Stalwart in both mind and body, and well-respected by his comrades.' making up his mind, Armin moves fast and grabs his pack back from Reiner then said "I refuse to be a burden! Even if it costs me my life!" and keeps on pushing his limits even farther 'Armin Arlelt. Although lacking in physical strength, his aptitude in the classroom is extraordinary.'

Time skip

In the forest training ground, a huge fake dummy Titan spins towards three cadets, those three cadets then slash the fake Titan's nape 'Annie Leonhart. Her slice attacks are absolutely flawless, but her reclusive tendencies make her a poor fit for coordinated efforts.' 'Bertolt Hoover. He possesses remarkable potential, but lacks aggressiveness.'

Then horse face comes into the picture 'Jean Kirschtein. Top-class omni-directional mobility. But his volatile personality tends to cause friction with others.' Then he starts to monologuing his idea plans out loud or in his head "I can't slice as good as those two! I'll just have to find the Titans before them! If anyone gets into the Military Police it'll be me!"But then... "Thanks for the help, Jean! Following you was a good idea!" Connie came in from behind to take the shot or in this case, the slash. Only to find it already slashed in a blur by-"Hooray!" "Gak! Sasha!?"

'Sasha Braus. She has unconventionally good intuition, but also demonstrates poor teamwork as a result. Connie Springer. He excels at executing quick turns, but is also a bit dim-witted.' "Here they come." said one of the soldiers staff as they see four cadets heading towards them. Setting the dummy Titans in place, Eren and Mikasa made their cuts only for Eren to curse himself 'Damn! Shallower than Mikasa again!' 'Mikasa Ackerman. Completely proficient in every area. It's apt to say she's an unmatched, unprecedented genius.' "Eren Jaeger. He has no real specialties, but he's improved his grades with his unparalleled effort. And he possesses twice the sense of purpose than anyone else.'

In a blink of an eye, the fake Titan's nape was cut in deep twice by none other than "Eren, angle your swords a little high before you make contact to the nape." she gives him wisdom advice, changing his direction towards the another Titan dummy Eren took Dawn's advice and it made a deeper cut than his last one. "Thanks a lot Dawn! Your advises are always helpful." 'Dawn Lanayru. She good with handling Omni-directional mobility, but when it comes to every topic about planning she's the wisest person to turn to.' Link gives a smirk in 'Good job' send off ' Dusk Faron. He proves his strength into everything that is thrown at him, his actions speaks louder than words, and is no stranger to swordsmanship. He is the very definition of courage.'

Time Skip

"Oww!" cried the beefy Reiner as he was slammed to the ground by Eren "Sorry. I'm not good at holding back." After apologizing to Reiner, Eren offer his hand to help him to get back up again "Now it's your turn to be the rogue." Reiner handed the wooden knife for Eren to take it, but he only stared at it almost in a mesmerizing daze. "What's the matter?" Reiner asked "I don't get this training. Why would soldiers fight other people? Only an idiot would take on a target barehanded." Said Eren after he grabbed the fake weapon from Reiner, as he was remembering a time when he did used a REAL knife, and not in a pretty way of using it either. "That's irresponsible thinking. We're soldiers. There are times we can't run away, no matter how bad the situation is. No matter what the enemy is, we have to be ready for it, whether it means using cannons or combat techniques. I believe that's the responsibility of a strong soldier. Anyway, look there." Eren alter his gaze to wherever he was pointing at, three cadets one was walking through the crowd the another two were standing around and watching how everyone else is doing in their training "Oh, that's Annie, Dawn and Dusk." "They're slacking off without the commandant noticing again." Reiner speaks in a arrogant scoffing tone, then said "All right, Eren. Those slouches needs a 's teach them how a soldier's supposed to act." Not really sure what he means or what he is planning, Eren just let out a confusing "Huh?" At Reiner's crazy idea plan.

Reiner was now standing right in front of them and said in a commanding tone "Not fond of the commandant's head-butts? If either of you don't wanna end up any shorter, think back to when you guys first came here and start taking things seriously." Unbelievable. Eren could not believe Reiner's actions "Hey, why are you being so rude?" It was the best moment to stop talking, because the look on Annie's face screams 'I'm gonna kill you where you stand!' and Dusk and Dawn's expressions were also saying 'You dare to challenge me!?' Eren made a strongly note to NEVER under any circumstances to get on their bad side 'Man, They're mad. I thought Annie looked scary enough as it is, but that's nothing compared to when she's pissed. And I thought Dusk and Dawn couldn't look even more scarier.'

Reiner came up from behind Eren and then push him towards the three, as he claims them to be, 'Slackers' and said "All right! Get started, Eren!" Eren looks over his shoulder to Reiner in shock "What!? Me?!" The two opponents got into their stance only though Annie's battle ready stance was different then everyone else in this camp "You know the drill, right, Annie? Here I come!" In one swift move Annie disarmed Eren with a simple strong kick 'Wh-What the?! She kicked my leg?!' Eren thought in surprise, even Dusk and Dawn also shared a shock expression 'Something about her seems off, better to keep an eye out on her.' Annie then turns to Reiner and said "Can I go now?" Reiner then barked out "No! The drill's not over until you take the dagger!" Both Dawn and Dusk thought 'Man Reiner, what are you trying to get out of all of this?' picking up the fake dagger knife from the ground Annie went ahead and attack Eren while he tried call out a time out "Wait, Annie! You're supposed to do this a certain way!" She didn't listen and at the end, Eren was laying on the ground with his legs over his head. Seeing that Eren was done Annie went to Reiner and handed him the fake knife "There. Now it's your turn to attack me." Reiner tries to back out, but Eren stops him from doing so. "Do it, Reiner. I thought you wanted to teach her about a soldier's responsibility?"

"Yeah. Sometimes a soldier can't back down. This is one of those times!" Only to be in the same posishion as Eren witch was over in only seconds. Eren was amazed at Annie's skills in hand-to-hand combat and asked where she had learned it from? She only replied that it was from her father. Eren then asked "Your dad came up with that move?" and then Annie said "What does it matter? There's no point to any of this." That caught the three off guard, it would seem that Dusk and Dawn weren't the only ones thinking that this could be a waste of time. Just to be clear on what Annie was saying Eren ask "You mean this training?" Annie then made it easy to understand what she means "We aren't graded on our hand-to-hand combat skills. Most people brush it off, like them. Because only the top ten cadets are allowed to join the Military Police and serve in the interior. The only ones who take it seriously are naive idiots like you or just ordinary idiots." Seeing that Connie and Sasha were goofing off Commander Keith grabbed Connie by the head hoisted him off the ground just like in the beginning of cadet training roll call "For some reason, in this world, the better you are at fighting Titans the further you can get from them. How do you think this farce came about?"

"I don't know that's a good question!" Eren says as he tries to attack Annie again only to be pinned by her with the fake knife being press close to his neck, if this was real he'll be dead given any moment "Maybe because it's human nature? Anyway, I refuse to be stupid enough to play "Soldier" in this insane world." Reiner then said "Looks like you're not much of a warrior at all." He then turns his attention to Dusk and Dawn "And I bet you too are not even worthy of being a soldier or a warrior!" with that said, Reiner took the dagger and charged at them, thinking 'This is going to be easier than Annie.' Oh how wrong he was, Reiner is laying back on the ground before he could even blink what just happened. Eren and Annie witness Zelda's spin move of defense in awe, Seeing nothing better to do Annie left the scene which left Eren to think 'I was so caught up in getting stronger that I never realized it. It's such a clear contradiction They're honing their Titan-killing skills just to get away from the Titans!' Lost in thought Eren then notices Dusk's hand in offer for him to get back up. Reiner, thinking like an idiot his is, thought it was a good idea to get Dusk from behind when his back is turned. Only to find that Dusk is not in front of him anymore and neither is Eren. Turning around Reiner just had enough time to see Dusk knocked him down in one stroke.

It took a moment for Eren to realize what just happened, when Reiner was charging at Dusk when he was helping him to get up only to find an arm around his waist and he was somehow looking down at Reiner from the air? Then it hit him, Dusk did a huge backflip while keeping a firm grip on him! If that wasn't enough, Dusk send a round house kick to Reiner once they were landed safely. Eren wasn't the only one who was in awe at the fantastic move everyone else was enchanted by the silent man's display, "That was a cheep trick, Mute." Mute. That's the nickname Dusk was given for he never spoke a single word ever sense the start of training, at least not to anyone but Dawn which no one else knows about. The said silent man gave Reiner a glare that clearly states 'Don't attack a man from behind.' "Tsk. Still quiet as ever." "He maybe silent, but his actions speaks louder volumes." says Dawn in defending her most dear friend from this young man who seems to remind Dawn of the two evil men that she and Dusk have faceted in their realm.

Time Skip Night Time at the Mess Hall

Everyone was gossiping over Dusk's back flipping skill hoping that he would or will teach them how to fight like him, or to be way better than him. Only Armin was focusing on a battle strategy while a few guys across from them throw in some of their comments and their ideas for the future to one another. "It can't be helped. Before Wall Maria fell, only the Scouts needed omni-directional mobility, and they're a small regiment. That put ODM expertise at risk" Jean then said "Give it a strong blast for just a second." Armin still continues "so this was a way to prevent its decline." Jean "Relying on inertia will save you gas." Samuel commented "Easier said than done." Then Jean arrogantly said "Yeah, maybe not everyone can pull it off but there's no harm in knowing about it, if you wanna join the Military Police." Marco then added "Yeah! I'd love to get in! Working near the king There's no greater honor than that!" Jean said something set both Eren, Dusk and Dawn off "Hold on, Marco! Quit talkin' like a goody-two-shoes and say what you really think! You wanna join the Military Police 'cause it means a safe, comfy life in the interior!" Marco whines "No! I really do want to."

Eren "It's comfy in the interior?" Everyone how was in their own little world stop to see what Eren's got to say and to see if this get's into a brawl "Until five years ago, this used to be the interior too." Jean arched an eyebrow and said "What's your point, Eren?" Both Dusk and Dawn thought 'Just how thick is you skull Kristin?' Then Eren added more to his saying "Jean. You don't need to go to the interior. I'd say your head is nice and spacious enough as it is." Jean is starting to get mad "You little" But that didn't stop Eren from speaking his mind and heart out "Honing your Titan-killing skills to get away from the Titans Doesn't that seem like a weird system to you?" Jean then barks out at Eren exactly what he thinks is good, and give him a piece of his mind "You only say that now? I want that stupid system to stay in place, for my sake." Eren Growled "You piece of scum!" The two Hylians knew that this is only going to get ugly soon, the two rivals needs to stop now "Shut up! This is the real world!" Armin tries to stop his best friend from the fight "Eren! Quit it!" Mikasa gets up to break up the fight "Stop that." but she only made it worst when she grabs Eren's hand which made Jean even more pissed off.

So pissed off that he grabbed Eren by his shirt ready to punch him in the face "Screw you!" Eren shouts "Huh?! Let go! You're gonna rip it!" Jean shouts back "I don't give a damn about your clothes! I'm jealous!" As funny as this is they really need to understand the situations of life, and what's really important "Huh?! What are you talking about?!" And then, everything started to freeze as if time started to move in slow-motion 'I see now He always has to take his feelings out on others Just like I always do. But not this time! I'm going to use that move to take control of the situation!' What Eren did next surprised not only Annie, but Dusk as well. Eren somehow knock Jean off of him, did a front flip over Jean while slamming his hand onto the horse-face's shoulder, and an under kick to the legs. Recovering from the unexpected attack Jean demanded answers "What the hell was that?!" Eren didn't know how he did it, but a part of him felt like he did. All he did was copy both of Annie's and Dusk's combat skills, and merge them together. So then Eren just said "A combat technique I learned the hard way while you were screwing around. A carefree, capricious life is your idea of the real world? And you honestly call yourself a soldier?!" The whole room went silent, waiting to see what'll happen next. Dusk, no. Link couldn't be anymore prouder at Eren's unique courage and for combining two different combat skills into one special move.

That's when the main door open just a crack showing half of Commander Keith's body in the doorway "I heard a loud sound just now Would anyone care to explain?" No one said anything, as Keith walks in to see if anyone would crack under the pressure of suspense. Before Mikasa could say 'It was Sasha. She passed gas.' Dusk stud up to leave the room, but Keith stopped him "And just where do you think you're going, Faron?" He was expecting his girl friend to answer for him. Keith did get his answer, but not from Dawn "Away from those who are wasting there skills and saving the lives for the innocence, only to get their own ease of security for themselves."

The room gotten even more quieter, so quiet that you can hear a needle drop. Dusk. Dusk Faron. The only cadet who never spoken anything for the past 2 and a half years. Has now just spoken! "Well spoken words, Dusk. Though some of it seemed a little harsh." Dusk turn towards the speaker, it was Dawn as she made her way to Dusk, who then replied "We live in a harsh world, people need to know the truth. No matter how bad it is." Dawn then says "That is also true. One day you could make a great leader." After giving Dawn his famous grunt nods in affection, Dusk turns to Eren and said "Eren. You and me, the training grounds next morning. Prepared yourself." It took a full half a minute for Eren to realize that Dusk was waiting for him to answer to his request of a challenge "Ah! Right yes sir!" What Dusk did next surprised him even more, Dusk patted him on the shoulder as if he was Dusk's younger brother.

With that said and done, both Dawn and Dusk left the mess hall while everyone else was trying to grasp at what just happen.

Time Skip to Graduation Night

"Give your hearts!" Keith commanded, as everyone gave him their salute "Yes, Sir!" He then continues "You have three options after you graduate from the Cadets today! The Garrison Regiment, which reinforces the walls and protects each city! The Scout Regiment, which risks life and limb to venture into Titan territory outside the walls! And the Military Police Regiment, which serves under the king by policing the people and preserving order! Of course, the only ones allowed to join the Military Police are the top ten cadets who were previously named!"

Mikasa 1st, Reiner 2nd, Berthold 3rd, Annie 4th, Eren 5th, Jean 6th, Marco 7th, Connie 8th, Sasha 9th and Krista 10th. What shock everyone is that Neither Dusk Faron or Dawn Lanayru even made it on the list, because none of them wanted to be in the Military Police and live a life of luxury. 'It's been three years sense we've came to this realm, and sometime soon Ganondorf will make his attack on us.' Just even thinking about Ganon's return sends chills down Dusk's and Dawn's spines. It was later that same night at a local pub where everyone was celebrating their graduation from boot camp training.

'We've finally made it here Now it's our turn to devour the Titans!' "Yes! Now I'm gonna be in the Military Police!" Connie cheered "No more worrying about food!" No one needs to know who said that, while Horse-face is throwing a temper tantrum at what rank he got, the little whiner. "How'd I get ranked under Eren?! Damn!" In the corner by the staircase, Samuel let out a giant dramatic gasp "Are you seriously not gonna join the Military Police Regiment, Eren?!" Thomas pick up where Samuel left off "Even after you got into the top ten and all?!" Eren confirms Samuel and Thomas of his ideal "My mind was set from the very start. I didn't train all this time to live in the interior. I did it to fight the Titans." Thomas cries out in terror "We can't beat them!" Everyone stopped what they were doing to turn their attention at Thomas, "You know how many tens of thousands of people have been eaten so far The answer was clear after we lost 20% of our population. Humanity can't beat the Titans."

Eren can clearly see the fear in his companion's eyes, 'What cowardliness.' Thoughts ran though the heroes heads "So? You're gonna give up because you think we can't win?!" Thomas sadly admits "Well Yes, humanity has lost so far." But that's not stopping Eren from speaking his heart out for what he believes "That's because we were clueless about the Titans! Material warfare is useless against them. We lost, but the information we gained in battle will lead to further hope! Are we just going to throw away all the advances in fighting techniques that cost us tens of thousands of lives so we can be Titan fodder?! The hell with that! I'm going to drive out every last Titan and leave these cramped walls! That's my dream! Humanity hasn't truly been defeated yet!" His speech was full of courageous hope that it left a lot of the 104th graduating cadets speechless, not wanting to stay any longer Eren left the party bar hall with Armin and Mikasa right behind him "Wait, Eren!" Jean scoff at Eren's speech 'If you wanna go outside the walls, be my guest! I'm gonna join the Military Police!'

Deciding to change the subject, Marco ask what area Dawn and Dusk are thinking to go to. His answer from Dawn was "I will not sit by in hiding to watch others sacrifice themselves for the king who hardly never lend any aid to those who truly in need it the most." And as for Dusk "I will only fight for the light to shine down on this land once again." It was clear to see where they're planning to go. As soon as everyone got their answers, the two Hylians also took their leave. with Connie speaking out the one thing that was still on everyone's mind "I still can't believe he can talk!" Someone in the back "Give it a rest Connie."

Armin manages to join his friend outside sitting on the walkway steps fallowed by Mikasa who fallows her 'Brother' where ever he goes like a love sick puppy "Eren. That stuff about your dream just now." Eren pardons for interrupting his best friend speech "Yeah, I borrowed those ideas of yours about going outside instead of staying inside." Armin gave Eren is full determination "I'm going to join the Scout Regiment!" This info really startled Eren " Are you serious, Armin?! You were the top in classroom studies! You should put that to use!" But Armin reinsures him "I won't be a burden. Even if it costs me my life." then Mikasa says bluntly "I'll join the Scouts too." Eren tries to get Mikasa to rethink her idea by joining the Military Police, but her reply was pretty straight forward "If you join the Military Police, then I will too. If you join the Garrison Regiment, then I will too. Because you'll die an early death unless I'm around." Eren grunts at her "I never asked for your help." Then she said "I don't want to lose any more of my family." 'Guess I can't argue about that logic.' Eren thought as he looked up at the night's sky and claims that he's heading to bed for the night.

Time skip Eren's P.O.V.

As I made my why to bed I couldn't shake this feeling that something is going to change, something big. It's been three years sense I had that bizarre dream, and they just keep coming back in many different ways. It could be with the two wolves running through a foggy forest and fallow them as a wolf too, or I get to see that fish head man attacks on the ruler's guards over and over again. But recently in the dreams can hear someone or something talking about some dark evil approaching, along with the most horrible cackle I had ever heard. I haven't told Armin about these dreams or Mikasa, if either of them knew about it they'll probably tell me to forget about it or go see someone if they could help me.

Not only that but the two wolves that both me, Armin, Reiner and Berthold saw the night after my bizarre dream and fail ODM balance test were watching me from time to time. I sometimes hear their howls at night, their howls have the most majestic sounds I ever head. It almost makes me want to howl along with them. Everyone made sure to stay clear from those wolves if they're ever near us or in the area, even Sasha believes to be weary of them, but I can't help but to think that they're here for a reason. After finding comfort in my bed, I drifted into sleep and into another interesting dream.

(Eren's Dream)

This dream is different than the others. I'm inside what looks like a throne room from all of my other past dreams, but this one... it's filled with darkness. There are derbies scattered all over the hall from both the pillars and the statues above the throne.

And sitting on that throne was a green skinned man with fiery colored hair all over his whole face and head pulled back into some sort of binding spikey headband crown thing with a gem attached to it, his outfit looks like it's mostly made with some armor metal woven into the fabric, but what really stood out what the glowing white mark on his stomach. The same white light he has at his side in a form of a very long sword.

The green man clutched his left hand it then glowed forming three triangles stacked in a bigger triangle form, but only the top was shining more brightly then the other two that form the base "At last, my strength has fully returned. It's been three years sense I banish the Hero of Twilight and his little princess friend into another realm, and now the time has come to take what is rightfully mine. Once I have all pieces of the Triforce, I will be unstoppable to rule all. And perhaps I might as well take over that realm too, those pathetic humans and their fear for giant humans will be so easy to take control." He then let out an evil laugh. This man's laugh... is the same one I heard! wait. he said 'giant humans' does he mean 'Titans'?! what does he mean realms? and what is a Triforce!?

I wish I could hear what else that man was saying but I feel worm, like a bright light shining at me. The only thing I heard left is a gentle voice saying ever so quiet "You are not alone in this battle young cho... on... by ... Goddesses. Let ... H r...o of Twilight h..p guide you on your journey. For both your destinies are intertwine with others. To bring peace and light for both realms."

(Dream Ends)

I woke up to the sunlight shining it's rays into the room and on my skin, 'Whatever that dream was about it felt too real to be ignore. Something is going to happen today, I just hope we'll be prepared for the worst.' I just wish I knew what all of it means. I better get ready todays the day we get field test in each regiments.

In The Morning

Every resident of Trost was out in the streets cheering for the Scout Regiment to take back their land and to fight the titans, with the cries of "It's here!" "The main unit of the Scout Regiment!" "Commander Erwin!" Dusk and Dawn manage to get a good look at who the Commander is, he has blond hair slightly undercut, blue eyes and has a long noes not big like much as Annie's but close. "Give those Titans a real thrashing!" One men near Eren shouted and pointed towards a short looking man with Black undercut raven hair, greyish blue eyes and has a scowl printed on his face. "Look! It's Captain Levi!" Another person said "They say he's as mighty as an entire brigade!" Levi couldn't take this praising from them "Ugh. Talk about annoying." Thankfully no one in the crowd or anyone in the group near him didn't hear him say that, little he know that two Hylians did, Dusk commentated "Well, he's energetic." Dawn said "He's probably grown tried of being treated like a god." Dusk turns to Zelda and ask in a whisper "Do you feel that way too, princess?" Dawn looks up to Link's eyes and answers quietly "Sometimes."

Eren said to his friends and anyone near him "This is nothing like five years ago! People actually feel hopeful about the Scout members!" Hanna agrees with Eren and said "Yeah, everyone's cheered up since then. Nothing's happened in five years." Franz added "They've upgraded the mounted cannons too." Cannons. It may keep them at bay, but not for long if they ever come in. The thought left the Hylians when Hanna confidently says "I doubt the Colossal Titan will show up anymore." Franz fully agrees with her "Yeah!" Eren snaps at the two idiots "That's a load of crap, you idiotic couple!" Both Franz and Hanna blush in embarrassment "Wh-What? Us, a married couple?" "You're getting ahead of yourself, Eren!"

Ignoring the blushing pair Eren, Armin and Mikasa heard a familiar voice calling out to them. "Hey, guys!" Turning to see who was calling to be surprise to see an old friend from their home town, and the trio weren't the only ones who were surprise to see him again. "Mr. Hannes!" Hannes great the kids to congratulate them "Heard you graduated yesterday. Man, you brats have really matured." Eren replies "You too, ! You used to be a drunk, but now you're chief of the Corps of Engineers." Seeing this as a teasing joke in a serious statement, Hannes joke back at the boy he considers as his nephew "Oh, you!" Then he notice Dusk and Dawn "Hey, don't I get a greeting from you two as well?" Dawn gave Hannes a greeting smile "It's good to see you again Hannes, though I have to ask. Were you really a drunk?" Eren and Armin chuckled at both Dawn's question and at Hannes's spouting red face. Eren did his best to answer Dawn's question without laughing so much "He was, Hannes drinks nearly every day why he's on parole." Then Dusk asked in protective big brother manner "How did you know this or him for that matter?"

Armin felt a little uncertain to give him the answer, but it's mostly just a command question and it's probably that Dusk is just curious about how they know Hannes and said "Mr. Hannes was station at Shiganshina walls before the Colossal Titan broke through." Eren also added "He's kind of a friend of the family." That word 'family' made Hannes suck down with regret "I'm sorry I couldn't save your mom." Dawn couldn't help herself to take pity on Eren, for loosing his mother when he was only a child. She too knows the feeling of loosing a mother, and so does Dusk, but not in the same why as Eren's mom did. Not by a titan. Eren cuts him off "It wasn't your fault. We're not ignorant anymore. We won't let another tragedy like that happen. We will defeat the Titans!" He gave his word to Hannes. Full of determination and courage. "I don't know if I should be happy that you've grown up or not Don't go dyin', now." Hannes replied, Dusk came up behind Eren and gives Hannes a smirk and said "Don't worry I'll make sure he wont."

Hannes lets out a good hearty laugh at the expression Eren was making, as he was mumbling about 'not needing another person to look after him.' Mikasa then finally ask, or demanded, that was on their minds "How do you know Dawn and Dusk, Mr. Hannes?" "I met them three years ago when a man name Christ and his gang was trying to steal Dusk's horse, not only that but he tried to take Dawn as a hostage." The Shiganshina Trio's eyes were wide in shock, they heard that man was dangerous and sometimes deadly. Yet Dawn and Dusk manage to get out alive, and help get him into jail. As much as they want to learn more about their encounter with the criminal, they all still have jobs to do.

Up on the Top of the Wall

Eren, Dusk, Connie, Mina, Samuel, Thomas and Sasha were in charge of cleaning the cannons making sure that they don't break during an attack. While smoothing the cannon wooden beams, Connie said something that surprises Eren "Huh?! You're joining the Scouts?! Connie! You were so set on the Military Police!" Mina came up from behind Eren conforming his speech last night "Yeah, I was! But Sounds like your speech yesterday won him over!" Connie turns around and snap at Mina with a small hint of blush on his cheeks "Huh?! M-Mind your own business! I decided it on my own!" Thomas walked over to the little group "Don't be so embarrassed. You're not the only one." He said this as he scratch his cheek in a shy embarrassment gestor, Eren couldn't believe how many of his fellow friends in the academy changed their minds after his ideal speech "Thomas You don't mean?" Dusk then clamped his Triforce hand on Eren's right shoulder.

Just at that moment, Eren felt a twinge of some unspecified feeling surging through his entered body. 'What the heck is this?! What the hell is this feeling? It feels... so warm.' That feeling move to his right hand and fast as it happened it disappeared. "You have away of bringing hope to people's hearts, Eren. There are a lot of those who needs to know that there is more than one way to fight back what is lost, but It takes a whole lot more action to back up those courageous words to get people into believing again." Dusk looks directly into Eren's green eyes "I am certain that you can do that." Eren was in awe at Dusk, he never new his words of fighting for freedom from the titans can do so much. It gives him confidence that he can do something great for the Scout Regiment.

And at that moment, Sasha came up looking... well, happy in a weird satisfying way "Umm, everyone? I brought some meat from the officers' storehouse!" Everyone was in shock at Sasha's bold actions, everyone knows that the meat is at a very hefty price, and Potato Girl just stolen some meat. Thomas decided right then and there to scold Sasha for her actions "Sasha! Do you want to end up in solitary confinement?!" Samuel only declared what everyone is thinking "You're really are crazy!" Connie mutters between either in terror or in awe "So much it's scary" Sasha wasn't hearing anything they were saying to her, she was lost in her own little dreamy world with hint of blushing cheeks and drool coming out of her mouth. "We can all share it later All sliced up, and between some bread" She then let out a weird shudder of pleasuring joyous moan "Go put it back!" Samuel cries out "Yeah! After we lost all that land, meat's become really valuable." Mina gave Sasha a sister scolding, But Sasha ways it off as she puts it in a supply chest near the cannons and said "It'll be fine! We can just raise more cattle and sheep once we retake our land!"

The idea of taking back the land and to have more meat was enough to make Samuel to suck up his hunger and cry out "I'll have some of the meat too!" Connie quickly fallowed "M-Me too! Save me some!" Mina made sure that she wants in on the meat too "I'll have some too, of course!" Eren mutters at their antecs "Guys..." Samuel called out to Eren "Why are you just standing there, Eren? We'll get found out if we don't get back to work!" Mina reminds everyone that Lunch isn't for a while, as she went to back to her post. Before Eren went back to work he look over the town and thought 'Five years have passed since then Humanity is finally regaining its dignity.' He clenched his fists and smirk with confidence with the wind blowing around him 'We can win! Humanity's fight back is just beginning!' Dusk didn't need to guess what was going through the young fighter's mind, he already knows. He just hope that Eren is ready to face the dangerous threat soon.

Crash-BOOM!

Green and yellow lighting flashes behind Eren and Dusk. No one moved or breath, Dusk turned to see what made that explosion only to hind a skinless giant staring down at them. It was right there that Dusk knew that this monstrous being is what the people called 'the Colossal Titan', yet there was something about this monster that seems so familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

By the time everyone regain their sense of awareness, the Colossal Titan blow everyone off the wall with a powerful hot steam burst and to add more to the damaged he kick the wall for extra measure. "Gah! It's Hot!" Eren cries as he hooks himself onto the wall stopping from falling. "Wh-What the?!" Dusk tries to recall what just happen and make a head count, everyone manage to grab hold onto the wall. Everyone except... "Samuel!" hearing a garbling hook being dismissed from the wall and Mina's cries "Sasha!" Everyone watches the girl races towards the falling comrade and in just one fast shot, Sasha gotten Samuel from making a stain on the ground "Samuel! Stay still!" He didn't reply Dusk hope that he was only unconscious, and nowhere near death "That was close!" Eren breaths out in relief, though it wasn't the best time to be relieved. Everyone turns to see a horrible sight. "The wall It's broken!" Thomas pointed out "They're gonna get in! They're gonna get in! THEY'RE GONNA GET IN!" Connie panics

With the situation starting to get out of hand Dusk knew that he and everyone else needs to do something, before he could give out an order, Eren draw out his blades and launch himself back up on the wall while shouting out an order "Mounted Cannon Maintenance Squad 4! Prepare for battle! The target is the Colossal Titan dead ahead! This is our chance! Don't let it get away!" Not wanting Eren to face the Colossal Titan by himself Dusk made his way up and landed next to the fifteen year old boy who is glaring at the skinless giant like a wolf waiting to the kill it's prey "Hey, there. It's been five years." But then, something caught Dusk eye. Just about a couple of hills away Dusk- no Link saw something moving towards the wall, something black. Something he thought he hoped to never see again.

And they're looking for the spirits of light in this Realm.

Sorry for cutting this chapter when the battle just started, but I promise to make the battle scenes a bit longer than normal.
Also, I'll be making a side story related to this one, giving off more details of their training camp.
