With Eren's arrival at the Survey Corps under Levi's watch, investigations on his Titan form start.
Meanwhile, Chaldea makes a strange discovery outside Wall Maria.
Hange Zoe.
Truly someone peculiar under the eyes of anyone, and not even the Chaldeans were an exception.
This was someone obsessed with Titans to the degree of having captured 2 of them in order to perform trials on all of them. Not even some 'ordinary trials' either, as Hange approached both of them without any type of fear. Any sane person would never do that, but for Hange, it was all worth it if it helped the investigation to understand the Titans better.
Right now, Ritsuka and his Servants were waiting in the headquarters, as they didn't had anything to do.
"That woman is weird" - Enkidu said. He was now dressed in the clothes of the Survey Corps, which were provided to him by Levi.
Ritsuka had explained him that, if one of his companions got too tired or couldn't continue, he could ask Chaldea to send someone else while the wounded one returned to heal, and such had been the case with the new arrival. His purpose however was the thing that had Levi interested.
/A few hours ago, Levi's room/
"This new one, Enkidu, you called him?" - Levi asked Fujimaru.
"Yes, is there something wrong with him?" -
"Nothing at first sight, but just by looking at you I can tell there's a reason why you brought him especially, and I need you to tell me that" -
"Well, it has to do with Eren, his Titan form especially" -
"What do you mean by that?" -
"After what happened when he went berserk while trying to seal the Wall, there needed to be some kind of contingency, that's where Enkidu comes in" -
"And how exactly is he going to help us?" -
"Enkidu has a very special ability that's useful when restraining opponents, and it can come very in handy if Eren loses control again and tries to take everything out. Let's just hope we never actually need that plan" -
"This days have been really boring, not a single intersting thing has happened since the Wall was sealed" - Ritsuka said. He had gotten so used to the adrenaline that he felt somewhat empty without it.
"Maybe you can go help Hange with the Titans that she has captured" - Muramasa suggested, with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"No thanks. I know I like the danger but even I'm not getting close to one of those things, I rather keep all of my body parts" - the Master answered.
"I wonder what's the point of waiting for so long. There are more Titans out there, why aren't they fighting?" - Enkidu asked with curiosity.
"I'll talk with Levi later, I hope there's something planned" - Ritsuka said.
Before they could continue talking, a blood curling scream filled the place, confusing all of them.
They ran outside the headquarters, finding that the two Titans Hange had been reseraching on were dead, only their steaming skeletons under the sun.
"Sonny! Bean! Who did this to you two!?" - Hange screamed in terror once more.
"I know people here wouldn't like Titans, but they were restrained and didn't showed signs of escaping, why kill them?" - Reines asked herself, thinking about the reasons as to why someone would want them dead.
While Hange was screaming, the Chaldeans were wondering about what had happened.
One thing was clear: This was an inside job, the place was very well guarded for someone from outside to do it, but who? That was the main question.
"The only ones capable of killing Titans like this are the Survey Corps thanks to their blades, so there's a traitor amongst them, or someone who just really dislikes Titans" - Mash said.
"The trainees as well, and we do know that they're stationed nearby" - Shiki added.
"There were some members of the Survey Corps stationed outside of Wall Maria, they're not here, that's suspicious. The trainees shouldn't be far away from here" - Fujino remarked.
"Well then, divide and conquer: Mash, Shiki, Muramasa, Enkidu, you're coming with me to talk with the members of the Survey Corps, the rest will go interrogate the trainees" .
"Understood Master!" -
As such, Ritsuka and his team went outside Wall Rose searching for the members of the Survey Corps.
"Do you think they could be the ones they killed them?" - Mash asked refering to the Corps.
"Some of the members are extremely against Titans and they could've attacked in rage" - Ritsuka said. In his time with Levi, he managed to see different people in the Corps, and he also met a lot of them that hated Titans with an incredible passion.
"Besides, as much as the trainees are also suspicious, I believe only a Survey Corps member could pull a kill like that" - Shiki stated while toying with her sword.
"I don't know, bloodthirst can lead to something unexpected" - Muramasa said.
"Well, whatever the case, I hope we can find any sort of information from them, or at least know that they're not culprits" - Enkidu said
As soon as they approached however, a foul smell caught their noses, it was the smell of dead bodies. As soon as they smelled that, they realized something bad had happened.
They ran to the place of the smell, finding all of the members of the Survey Corps dead and mutilated. Their blood covered the ground around them.
"What... Happened here?" - Ritsuka asked as he got close to one of them.
The Servants looked at the bodies for any signs of what could kill them, but the cause of their dead became ceirtain soon enough.
"A Titan did this" - Shiki said.
"No doubt, but something so big couldn't have gone far" - Muramasa stated, and he was right.
"I think I know where the Titan went" - Mash noticed a bit of steam not so far away from them.
Getting closet to the smoke, they found a giant skeleton with bits of flesh that was hot enough that you could burn your hand if you touched it.
"Did it... Died after killing the Survey Corps?" - Mash asked.
"No it didn't. Everyone, be on your guard, there's energy of a Grail coming from this body" - Da Vinci warned everyone.
"Then this..." -
"Another shifter killed them" -
