A young male console sat planted down next to a large tree. The field of grass he sat in felt like an endless oasis, the grass blades waving in the strong winds. A cluster of forest could be seen far to the left, and to the right was a sand road that led from the field back to the city. He looked up at the sky with furrowed brows. Gray clouds mixed in with clouds translucent, all of them thick and stretching across as far as the eyes could see. This world was so beautiful, and yet so limited. There was so little to do, and so much to wonder.
"You're always dozing off, Eren." Mikasa, the young girl next to him, laughed.
"I-I'm sorry, Mikasa. I just got a bit lost. H-hey, when did your hair get so long?" Eren said, looking down at her shoulder length cut. The scarf around Mikasa's neck flew elegantly in the wind.
Mikasa was usually silent, and yet, her facial expressions were extremely telling. From her complexion alone, Eren could tell she was a bit disappointed he was here,and wouldn't even answer him. Eren got off of his bottom and looked up towards the wall. The scenery of grassland gradually changed into wooden houses with red triangle roofing. As they entered a tunnel entrance to the inside of the wall, they noticed a few soldiers sitting together at a table.
A mug of beer was planted onto a table that the local soldier, Hannes, sat at. Mr Hannes was blonde with scruffy hair, and medium sized build. Next to a tunnel leading from the courtyard, he conversed with a few other soldiers, all of whom were drunk.
"And that's when I told him, hey, why don't you mess with someone else, tough guy?! And he came up on me, ready to fight!" Hannes hyped up his friends.
"What did you do, Hannes?" A fellow soldier egged him on.
"Well I punched him once," He punched the air and nearly fell face first onto the table "And that was all it took, yeah?!" He continued to brag about his fake story.
Eren approached Hannes with a glare. Mikasa stood back in the tunnel and watched him from afar.
"What's a young little console like you doing here? Aren't you from the Steam-Jaeger family? I swear I saw you walking around once." Hannes laughed.
"And what's a soldier, sworn to fight the Nintendrones outside of the wall doing drinking on the job?" Eren asked.
"Hey kid, you've got a lot of nerve. It's been over 30 years since a Nintendrone entered the walls of compatibility. If those things… broke through the wall. I assure you we'd be on top of the situation." Hannes scowled. His angry face was a bit less intimidating with the intense blush he had from being drunk.
Eren walked through the city talking to himself- Incomprehensible swearing and muttering mixed in with empty threats. Eren made his way through an alleyway to the side with a glare on his face almost as if he was looking for trouble. Mikasa stood behind him and followed him through the alleyways. In the middle of an alleyway, down a large slant was a place you could sit down by the river and see the mills working in the distance. The two of them approached the middle of the slant, but before they could get there, they noticed a strange interaction going on.
"Hey, hey! That's my father's book!" A young blonde console yelped as a few other consoles used a heavy journal for catch. The three bullies threw it back and forth for a lengthy exchange, and they didn't seem to be growing tired at all. The journal had a symbol of a star on the front.
"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it, Armin!" The taller bully console, who sported a blue large scarf around his neck, mocked the blonde console.
The bully console with the scarf threw a wicked punch that connected directly with Armin's face. His friends laughed as he pulled back his fist for a second punch.
Eren came in with his fists up in a combat guard, preparing to block Armin from the punch. Armin looked up and stopped cowering in fear-he then got on two feet and collected his father's journal from the ground, brushing dirt off of the star on the front.
"What are you doing, Eren? Everyone knows that you aren't nothing without your sister." The bully with the scarf said with a smug laugh.
Before Eren could even throw a punch, Mikasa came charging towards the three bullies. The bullies took off screaming before she could finish approaching.
"What's your name…? You saved me, thanks." Armin asked.
Eren laughed heartily before putting his thumb up and smiling at Armin and saying ,"Eren. Eren Steamjeager! Nice to meet you!"
Mikasa looked angry in the background and said "And I'm Mikasa, the one who actually saved you." With spite. The three didn't take long to become acquainted with each other, and began to speak to one another for a long while.
They slowly made their way to the main plaza of the city, which was bustling with business and people. Vendors of all sorts sold goods, and many people stood around to chat or walk to the next place on their list.
"Well, I guess that's it Armin. It was great meeting you." Eren said, bidding his farewell.
Before the three could wave at each other, a flash of lightning appeared from outside of the walls. Giant explosions of smoke bustled up into the sky, reaching further than the clouds. Out of nowhere, a portability drone- an agent of consolekinds destruction, teleported right next to the walls.
Everyone in the plaza began to scream and shout, running in various directions and pushing each other over. A few were frozen in fear, and even fewer began to pray.
"Go...we gotta get out of here." Mikasa muttered.
They looked at each other for a moment, then Armin pushed on Eren's back.
"You heard her! Go, go go! That's a portability drone! We gotta run!" The three of them began to dash at their fastest speed. Tumbling over themselves, they made their way through the town.
Eren looked at his friends. Armin and Mikasa, running to his side. It was like they were trying to speak, but their words they tried to say were nothing more than stutters. It was as if they were choking more on their breath than the smoke around them.
"Even the biggest drones are smaller than that. For it's head to stick out. it's got to be over 50 meters tall. Maybe even bigger!" Eren said.
The joycon of the drone began to drift it's analog sticks, causing a mysterious heat source to explode out from it. A whole in the wall was created from an unknown console base. Giant boulders began flashing through the sky like meteorites.
Armin was speechless while running. The people screamed and panicked as the red embers merged from the overheating boulders with the townhouses. Smoke would shoot bit by bit into the sky, as those who could ran. Anyone too shocked stood and watched everything they love burn and smelt into goop, as the smoke piled on each other. Those frozen in fear choked and coughed on the spreading smoke.
"There's no way... that's my house!" Eren yelled as they ran back.
"Don't you understand..." Armin stopped in his tracks.
"Come on Armin!" Eren screamed.
"it's too late for this town! We can't stop there." Armin argued.
Eren shook his head.
In that split decision, he continued to run towards his house. Armin didn't have enough time to make a choice and follow them. he continued to run from the portability drone.
Under a collapsed building, Eren's mom was arm, the only part other then her head sticking out from the wooden pile, was on crooked and broken.
"E-eren? is that you... Dear. I'm so glad to see you."
"MOM?! Mom, mom! It's gonna be okay! Calm down. Me and Mikasa are here... we'll... We'll get you out of that pillar!"
Mindless Nintendrones standing 7 meters tall began to walk through the town. Any civilian they saw was picked up in their grasp. Eren watched as one picked up the pastor from earlier, who stood on his knees.
"Finally, we can atone. Take me to the promised land! Take me back to the world of Nintendo!" The pastor screamed. As the Nintendrone chomped down, the pastor was crushed into red dust. His remains were bloodied before the Nintendrone began to chew on them, and crush him even further. The Nintendrone flung his head back, and stared at the endless clouds in the sky.
The pastor was deconfirmed in that instant.
"No... No! Everyone wanted GTA 5 to be ported... to go to Nintendo! He's gone!" Eren screamed.
Mikasa was silent, but tears flooded from her eyes as she looked down at her mother.
"Don't you understand, Eren? My legs... they're twisted all up, with bones coming out of them. Just like my arm, see?" Eren's mother laughed,"Even if you could get me out... I couldn't run."
"No. No, I'll carry you!" Eren said.
Mr Hannes came running with his stylus swords unsheathed from his 3D Gyro Gear.
"Hannes! Take my children. Run! Run far from this place! That is an order, to you as a soldier!"
Hannes smirked. He pointed his stylus at the foot of the Nintendrone before him. He was ready to fight, and save everyone there. But from behind the wall, the mindless Nintendrone was actually revealed to be a portability drone.
It's head was not a normal console head. It was a gamepad. Menacingly it stared down, blood dripping from its dpad.
Mr Hannes dropped both of his stylus'. He turned around with a bubble of air in his throat gulping down. He grabbed Mikasa and Eren, and began to run.
