Chapter 1: The Massive Creature from Beyond the Walls
A group of soldiers stood on a large wall, surveying a herd of gigantic humanoids known as Titans trying to climb the wall towards them. One of the soldiers held a telescope, looking into the distance for incoming Titans and reported to his superior that an abundance of Titans are closing in on the walls.
"Yeah, that definitely is a lot of Titans," the superior stated, "I wouldn't be surprised since they know that we humans are all here inside the walls."
The soldier continued looking towards the distance until he came across a large, dark figure in the horizon.
"Uh...Sir ? There's something big over there towards the South," the soldier reported, "And it doesn't look like a Titan whatsoever."
The superior raised an eyebrow and requested the telescope in order to see the figure better. He widened his eyes in shock as the figure was heading towards the wall at a fast pace.
The superior said to the soldier, "Get the cannons ready, but don't fire until we're sure that 'thing' has any intentions on breaching the wall."
The soldier nodded and went to alert the others about the situation. The superior kept his eye on the figure, standing guard on what was about to come. For all he knows, there has never been anything like this in the history of the Walls.
"Eren," Mikasa said as he woke up while laying on the side of a tree sitting on top of a hill.
Mikasa smiled and helped Eren up on his feet. Eren asked her, "Hmm..how long was I out, Mikasa ?"
"I wasn't really sure, but we should hurry and get the firewood home before your parents start to worry. It's starting to get late," Mikasa answered as she and Eren began walking away from the hill.
As they walked, Mikasa notes that Eren was crying for no reason at all, despite him denying it. As they returned to the village, the two children came across a local police member by the name of Hannes.
"Hey, whatcha crying about, Eren ?" Hannes said to them as he placed his hand on Eren's shoulder, "Is Mikasa angry about you or something ?"
Eren backed away from Hannes. "No ! I wasn't crying. You just smell like alcohol."
Eren turns to see Hannes' comrades drinking while working rather than keeping an eye out for Titans trying to breach the Walls. He got angry that they were not doing their jobs, but Hannes reassures the child and watches as the two kids went back home.
Eren and Mikasa came upon the arrival of the Survey Corps as they returned home from one of their expeditions beyond the Walls. However, it was discovered that their expedition had ended up a failure as all the other times, which caused dismay and frustration among the audience. When Eren reacted angrily to the crowd's thoughts on the Scouts, Mikasa drags him away and tries to convince him to avoid joining the Scouts.
The two children return home, with Eren's mother, Carla, washing dishes and his father, Grisha, reading a book. Before Grisha left to conduct examinations for his patients, Mikasa blurted out that Eren wanted to join the Survey Corps.
"WHAT ?!" Carla shouted, "Why would you join that ? Don't you know how dangerous it is, you could get killed !"
Eren replied, "O-of course I want to join !"
Curious at his son's answer, Grisha questions Eren's desire to go outside, in which Eren states that he wants to see the outside world and not live his life in ignorance.
"I see," Grisha said to him, "Well, I must be going. The ship will arrive soon."
Carla was surprised at her husband's nonchalant attitude towards Eren and said, "Wait ! Can't you talk some sense into your son ?"
Grisha calmly replied, "With a desire like that, it's impossible to convince them to change their minds."
He turned to Eren while pulling out a key hanging from his neck. "When I return home, Eren, I'll show you that secret room in the basement."
Grisha leaves for work, with Eren, Mikasa, and Carla watching him go. Once he left, Carla continues her attempt to talk Eren out of joining the Scouts. This angers him to the point where he leaves home in frustration, which forces Carla to put his safety in Mikasa's hands for the time being.
Later on, Eren and Mikasa find their friend, Armin, being bullied by a couple of boys. Before the bullies got to Eren, they fled at the sight of Mikasa approaching them. Armin explains to the duo about how he got into that incident when he mentioned humans needing to leave the walls some time in the future.
"That's pretty stupid. To get beat up for simply talking about stuff like that," Eren explains.
Armin argued, "It does make some sense since it's been 100 years since a Titan attack. People are afraid of getting in trouble by the government for wanting to leave the walls."
"I ain't afraid of getting into trouble, but I do find it annoying that some people would often snitch on you when given the chance," Eren said as he turned to Mikasa, who denied giving him her cooperation.
Armin could see that Eren's parents did not react very well to him wanting to leave the Walls, but understands that it was dangerous regardless. Despite the fact that the Walls have been protecting them for a whole century, Armin believed that there was a possible chance that the Titans could breach them at any time. It was until moments later that an earthquake shook nearly the whole city of Shiganshina, which had startled many of its citizens including Eren, Mikasa, and Armin.
The people of Shiganshina gathered outside to witness the cause of the earthquake while Eren, Mikasa, and Armin ran towards the disturbance at the Wall. Upon looking at the top of the fifty meter wall, an abundance of steam gathered in front of the entrance and caused confusion among the people. A massive hand was seen resting on the Wall, shocking nearly the entire population of Shiganshina. What followed the hand was a large skinless head of possibly the biggest Titan in human history. As the people stood in fear of what was going to happen next, the Colossal Titan raised its foot and kicked with enough force to break a hole at the base of Wall Maria.
The soldiers at the top of Wall Maria didn't know what to expect. At first, they prepared for the large figure coming towards them with unknown intentions until a large Titan appeared out of thin air and busted through the Wall with little effort. They watched as rubble flew through the air and scattered all around Shiganshina, destroying several houses in the process. Just as they prepared to fight the Colossal Titan, the soldiers turned and saw absolutely nothing. The Titan was gone, and all that's left was the mysterious figure continuing its way towards the Wall.
Eren, Mikasa, and Armin ran alongside with the rest of the terrified crowd, who kept on screaming about the Titans entering the walls. Eren and Mikasa hurried back to Carla after realizing that the scattered bits of Wall Maria landed near their home. As they made their way home, Eren and Mikasa saw numerous people either dead or running for their lives. It was a bloody mess that the two children had not seen in a while, but they were too focused on getting back to their house. They both hoped for the best that Carla manages to still be alive, but that hope was crushed as they witnessed Carla stuck under debris.
"Mikasa ! Hold onto that pillar and get ready to lift," ordered Eren as he desperately tries to save Carla. "Now, LIFT !"
Eren and Mikasa lifted the debris as hard as they could, but the sounds of loud footsteps distracted the two children as they turned to see a group of Titans near their area. They began to lift harder, but Carla knew that she couldn't make it.
Carla cried out, "Get Mikasa out of here, Eren !"
"No !" Eren replied. "I'm gonna bring you along with us !"
"My legs are broken. Don't you understand that I'll just hold you both back, even if I'm free ?"
"Then I'll hold you on my shoulders !" Eren argued as he kept on lifting the debris on his mother.
Carla couldn't hold back her tears at this point. No matter what she said, Eren and Mikasa ignored her pleas in order to save her. Carla had only wished that Grisha was here to talk some sense into them, but even some part of her had doubts about that. Just as things seemed hopeless, it got even worse as a Titan began making its way towards them. This prompted Eren and Mikasa to speed things up, but Carla feared for the worst. It wasn't until Hannes arrived in time that Carla had some of her hope back.
She cried out to him, "Hannnes ! Please take the children out of here !"
"No way in hell ! I'm gonna save all three of you once I'm done with this Titan !" Hannes declared as he begins charging towards the Titan.
As he headed straight towards the upcoming Titan, Hannes thought to himself, "Damn ! Should I just take the chance to rescue the children, or risk that chance saving all three of them ? I want to repay Grisha, but…."
Hannes immediately sheathed his swords and quickly grabbed Eren and Mikasa. As he ran away with the children, despite Eren's protest, Carla felt grateful and wished for them to survive. Her life flashed before her eyes, to peaceful times when she was with Grisha and the children. It was at that moment, Carla wanted that life back and wanted to be with Grisha, Eren, and Mikasa one last time. Just as the Titan was lifting some of the debris off of Carla, a series of earthquakes began increasing every few seconds until it suddenly stopped. The Titan seized its actions, turning its attention towards the wall. Hannes, Eren, and Mikasa also turned to the Wall, wondering what attracted the Titan. A few moments had passed and the Wall suddenly broke, sustaining more damage than the Colossal Titan had caused. Nearly everyone in Shiganshina, even the Titans, looked to see a much larger figure beyond Wall Maria.
The figure looked reptilian with a dark gray bulky appearance and spikes on its back that appeared sharp and jagged. It easily broke through the Wall as if it was brittle and gained the attention of all the Titans in the area, who proceeded to head towards the giant creature. With each step, the creature effortlessly crushed each Titan that came its way. No one knew what to do at the moment as they stood and watched the creature walk through Shiganshina, with only a few noticing that it was intentionally avoiding structures and houses by following the river.
Hannes, Eren, and Mikasa, did not hesitate to return to Carla when the Titan had ignored her and left for the creature. The three of them began lifting the debris, but it was still not enough despite the Titan removing most of it.
"Dammit !" Hannes shouted, trying to lift a pillar, "If only we had more help !"
"We can do it, Hannes !" Eren said.
"This is useless, kid. If we don't get more people to help, your mother's gonna stay stuck."
Carla looked behind the three of them and cried out, "T-th-that giant beast ! It's heading towards us !"
Hannes, Eren, and Mikasa turned around to see the large reptilian leaning over them with its shadow covering over the area. At first glance, the creature had a curious look and it caused bewilderment among the four humans. The creature moved its eyes towards Carla and let out a sad groan as if it felt pity for her. It reached its hand out to Carla and began lifting the debris off of her in a slow manner so as to not cause any further damage to her. Once it finished its task, the creature let out a low roar to showcase its successful attempt of helping Carla. Hannes, Eren, and Mikasa then resumed rescuing Carla and managed to help her from the debris. Hannes carried Carla on his back and all four of them turned to see the creature wandering around Shiganshina, helping other humans in distress.
With no Titans nearby, Hannes quickly ripped pieces of his clothes to bandage Carla's crushed legs, which was bleeding profusely.
"We need to get you to a hospital quickly. Luckily for us, the Titans are following that monster," Hannes said as finished wrapping Carla's legs.
Hannes lifted Carla on his back and ran to the evacuation area with Eren and Mikasa running by their side. With the creature constantly moving around the city, most of the Titans were too distracted with attacking it. This allowed the humans to evacuate in time and most of them, including Eren, Mikasa, and Carla, managed to escape on the river boats.
Once they were on the boat, Hannes said to Eren, "Hey, kid. Look after your mother and make sure she gets to a hospital, okay ? I need to assist the other soldiers in evacuating the rest of the citizens."
"I will, Mr. Hannes. And thanks for helping us escape," Eren replied as Hannes tapped his shoulder and began to leave.
Carla grabs Hannes' sleeve and tells him, "Before you go, I'd like to know if you could find Grisha for me."
"Of course, Carla. Once I find him, I'll make sure he gets to you all as quickly as possible."
Hannes leaves with the other soldiers as the boat carrying Eren, Mikasa, and Carla begins departure to the inner walls. The creature's roars were heard from within Shiganshina and was rumored to have fled with the Titans still following its trail. Eren, along with Mikasa and his mom, wondered why the creature had helped them and why were the Titans more attracted to it rather than the humans. He figured that the Titans had some history with the creature, but wasn't sure what it was. However, Eren was mostly glad that his mother was alright, despite losing her legs, and stayed close to her during the remainder of the trip. Carla noticed this and smiled, nearly crying at the sight of her son. Even though they argued from time to time on various things, Eren and Carla still loved each other no matter the situation. Mikasa also saw this familial love between the two and was happy to have been with people like them. Eren and Mikasa rested their heads on Carla, who wrapped her arms around the two children, and they all slept during the trip to the inner walls.
Meanwhile, two blond figures stood waiting in an alley within Shiganshina. Both of them were male and female with a muscular build, but the female was slightly shorter. Another figure comes along, a tall man with dark hair, and walks up to the others.
"Dammit, Reiner ! Why didn't you break down the wall ?" the tall man said aggressively.
"It was risky, Bertholdt," Reiner argued, "That big lizard came out of nowhere and would have intervened. Right, Annie ?"
The girl nodded, "Yeah, I totally agree that you chickened out on our mission, Reiner."
"W-what ?! I didn't do anything like that. I was merely taking a precaution since that huge creature unexpectedly showed up."
"Of course you were," Annie said as she rolled her eyes.
Bertholdt sighed and said to them, "Since most of the Titans are long gone, I don't know how we're going to proceed with the mission anymore."
Reiner placed his hand on Bertholdt's shoulder and replied, "It's alright. The people are still being evacuated, which means that the soldiers are too distracted with helping with the refugees. I can still break the wall down now that the lizard's gone."
"Fine, but make it quick. Once you're done, change back and meet me and Annie with the crowd near the riverboats."
Reiner nodded and walked out of the alley while Bertholdt and Annie made their way to the evacuation area past the wall. Once they made it through, Reiner took out a knife and slashed his hand, summoning a lightning bolt out of thin air.
The lizard creature, now outside of Shiganshina, led the Titans out of the district to prevent them from eating any more humans. Just as it was far enough to herd the Titans away from the Walls, the creature sensed something unexpected. It looked back at the Wall just in time to see lightning strike down from the sky. Realizing that it is a bad sign, the creature quickly made its way back to the Wall, leaving behind the Titans that weren't able to catch up with it. Once the creature made it back to the Wall, it noticed that the inner wall had a hole in it. The creature growled in disappointment and let out a massive roar, hoping that whoever took down the wall would hear it.
High above the sky, a mechanical plane with a camera lens flew over the Shiganshina District. It has been recording videos and images of the situation and sent the information wirelessly to a mysterious room filled with computer screens. Several people wearing modern clothing were monitoring the plane's activity feed and typed down notes on what events were transpiring. While some were curious about the structure and history of the Walls, a few of them were surprised at the reveal of the mysterious creature. A muscular man with a bold mustache stood in the back of the room, holding a cane in one hand.
He thought to himself, "Looks like he's back. Or rather…another one of his kind emerged."
A person with a lab coat and an eyepatch walks into the room, standing next to the man with the cane. He looks at the screen displaying the creature and widened his eyes as he realizes who the creature is.
"Isn't that….Godzilla ?" the man with the eyepatch asked.
"Yep, it definitely is," the man with the cane responded. "But that ain't the same Godzilla we knew back then. Probably another one of his kind."
"He does look different than the previous one. A bit bigger, I suppose."
"And he's helping humans, which means that he is undeniably on our side. That makes things easier for us."
They both continued watching the live feed and saw how "Godzilla" followed the Shiganshina refugees to the other districts, but kept his distance so as to not provoke the humans. However, herds of Titans had followed the kaiju into the Walls and caused great annoyance to him. Since Godzilla was unable to locate the people responsible for the destruction of the Walls, he remained in one spot away from the humans and waited for the right time when his targets would reveal themselves again.
It's been quite a long time. Most of you may not care a whole lot, but that's alright. When I heard Attack on Titan is reaching its end, I thought back to "Attack on Godzilla" and how I left it on a cliffhanger. Honestly, the story was not as good as I remembered and I do find some parts to be a bit...bad. I thought to myself about whether I should keep updating it, but I figured that it was a better idea to rewrite the whole story. You know, make it longer, cut some parts out and add more in, etc. I really want the plot to make sense and to include more stuff to make the rewrite a bit longer than the original. I don't know if it'll be good, but I would definitely like to try. I'll still keep the original around and see how you all think it compares to the rewrite.
Other than that, I would like to apologize for all of those who requested specific crossovers in the past, such as Frankenstein/Sinbad, Code Lyoko/Ninjago, etc. I definitely felt that I failed you all and that's understandable since it seemed like I was making empty promises. That's all I have on my mind that I wanted to share with you all. I just hope that this rewrite makes up for my absence all these years.
