Chapter 3 (Explanations)

18 hours after the titan spotting

Hanje was holding in her hand the crystal fragment from Annie's titan body. "Hey wakey wakey mister you was asleep for several hours." Levi shooked the hero and woke him up. "Awwww OK I'm awake. What is that little thingy you holding?" Saitama asked Hanje "I'll let you know but first tell us everything about you just like Levi want to know so badly." "Tch" Levi shook his head and looked away. "And I know everyone right here tonight dying from curiosity about you Saitama."

He sighed "From where to start. All the way back or literally what I'm was doing before you 4 found me?" The single riders that was close enough to see him. They was talking about that bald guy. "Are you seeing this guy how is dressed?" A member told to the other. "Don't mind him,im sure he's nuts and probably even lost it. Now forget about a nobody. Focus on our mission!"

The other one nodded and took his sights off Saitama. "Tell us everything about your previous life and your world Saitama we all want to know." Hanje said with an excited face.

"I'm was living a boring life into city Z and I'm was trying to have a bit of fun with my hero hobby but all the time I'm was facing a monster. It was going down with one punch and when I say monster I totally mean how you thinking of a monster. With crazy superpowers,Big claws or sharp teeth,the ability to fly or even dig under the surface. And they could talk too."

Everyone was now had widen eyes. All of them was stuck on the hero with awe. "I have a disciple too. His name is Genos and he's a cyborg. He is not as fast as me but if he was here against those titans he would incinerate them all with his cannons. Im starting to miss him. Hope his fixed by that doctor who was repairing him all the time." Eren ask "What is a cyborg?"

Saitama shifted his head to him. "Cyborg is a person that have robot and human parts on his body. Genos is more like a robot and breaks all the time when he facing an opponent stronger than him."

Saitama lifted his finger. Letting them notice he remembered something.

"We also have the hero association from where I come from. It's like an organization that fighting monsters. There are different classes and ranks in between the heroes. For example the top class is the S class heroes after that the A Class which i am now. B class and last one the C class."

"Amazing...Y-You live in peace to your world Saitama Sir?" Eren hadn't seen anyone like that before he indeed was from another dimension.

"Let me finish my boring backstory so i don't have to tell it to you again and stop calling me sir dude I'm only 25 years old." Eren nodded his head in embarrassment.

"Anyway the heroes getting promoted if they defeat a monster. The monsters had their own association but I dealed with them too and I defeated their boss. In one punch again."

"Recently me and Genos was fighting a dude named God. He was the second opponent I faced and didn't died from my punches. The first one died after a few punches but not him."

"After some time I'm was starting to getting hyped about this battle but he did something with a ball and pulled me inside it. When I fell from the sky and landed I faced the 2 titans I already told you about. After that I saw the Wall."

Everyone was now dripping drops of sweat around their heads. Even Levi a little "And that is my boring story." He put his head resting on his hand. "Fell from the sky?!" Armin asked with particular interest. "I though humans was beyond the ocean but I had NO IDEA about the sky!"

Saitama retorded "Oi don't take it to seriously I highly doubt you will see any other human falling from the sky like me. About your fact with the ocean I don't know if there are other humans but probably there are."

He said those words without hasitation. "How can you be sure about that you barely know about our world." Levi questioned back to the hero. "It's just my thought cause there's no way you are the only humans existing on the entire planet." Everyone was on a huge thinking after the hero finished his theory. "It's too early to know that. Let's just focus on the mission." Levi ended the conversation with the hero. "Hanje" no response "Hey,four eyes."

She didn't respond again. She was firstly took some minutes to process Saitama's story and after that she was staring the fragment. Levi didn't gave up. "Are your hobbies so boring that playing with rocks is somehow fun for you?" He retorded.

"Yeah. That's right" She showed everyone the piece of crystal. "But this is no ordinary rock." Saitama raised his eyebrows. Finally he will find out what it was.

"It's a hardened fragment of skin left behind by the Female titan." Armin responded "It didn't disappeared?" "Right! Annie reverted from a titan,but it's still intact even though it broke off her body." Hanje continued with a serious expression. "It didn't evaporate. It didn't disappear.

So I though, 'What if?'." She had a flashback "When i compared it to a piece of the Wall,its pattern and composition were practically identical. In other words, the Wall is a barricade of humongous titans. And if I'm right,the surface is constructed with hardened titan skin.

"That's exactly what Armin was saying..." Mikasa joined the conversation. "Th-Then-" Hanje put her hand on Armin's face to prevent him from saying anything. "Let me finish Armin" Hanje was now sweating even more.

"As it stands,we'll be hard pressed to fill the hole in Wall Rose. That is, unless we can find the perfect Boulder to plug it. But if... But if Eren in his transformed state could use the titan's hardening ability to seal the hole in the Wall..." Eren was shocked even more now. "Use me,to seal the Wall?"

"It should be made of the same material. And seeing how the hardened section won't evaporate. Even after you revert from a titan... It's possib-" Saitama came in their chat to give his own answer.

"I heared enough, next time keep it to 20 words or less. And about the plan to seal a hole you want so bad I can simply put a huge rock and stuck it inside." Now everyone was staring at him like they saw a ghost. "No one can lift such a big rock... Even in my titan form it was hard for me to carry the giant Boulder in the Wall."

Saitama didn't gave attention to Eren cause to him it was child's play to do it. They was just still had their doubts about him. Armin replied "If you are surely so powerful then we could quickly make our way to Shiganshina."

"What if we carried out the plan with them (Eren and Saitama) at night? Hanje asked the same. "At night?" "Yes" Armin said and continued "During the night,when the titans can't move" Saitama found his plan pointless and said.

"I can just kill all those titans if you having a hard time at day." "We doing it at night so we won't have anyone eaten Saitama." "Oh...Okay" He turned towards Hanje while she was speaking. "If the group was small enough. You could sneak all the way to Wall Maria."

She gave a look back to the fragment. "The current situation is bad as it gets. But... We still have two glimmers of hope." She smiled to Eren and Saitama. "That basement" Eren remembered "My dad's basement..." He took out and look the key he had around his neck. "If what my dad said was true. We'll find the answers to everything there." Mikasa was looking at Eren for a mere seconds. "Hey can i have a closer look with that thingy?" Saitama ask Hanje with blank expression "Of course you can here" She hand it over to the Caped hero.

After a minute they hear a crack sound. "What was th-" Hanje paralyzed her limbs like everyone else in pure shock when she noticed what was done. Saitama had smashed the crystal inside his palm when he clenched it into a fist. "Oops i broke it..." She screamed so loud the riders who were in 30 meters radius heared her very clearly. "AAAAAAAAHHHHH! HE JU- YOU-Y-...HO-" Her doubts about him was starting to disappear little by little. "Saitama how you did this!?" Armin was as shocked as everyone.

"What? It was way too fragile you know." The Caped baldy answer them honestly." Hanje smiled like a bad scientist again and turned to Levi. "You thinking the SAME Levi!?" "What is it four eyes" His eyes widen a little bit more and he exhaled. "You want to use him and try to see if he destroys the crystal around the brat Annie down you?" Hanje nod her head 3 times while she was drooling and her stare was on Saitama. "I completly doubt if he is able to do that..."

Mikasa spoke "He is indeed strong and fast but no human can reach such state to break Annie's crystal." She hate to admit it front of Eren but she totally knew he was about to surprice them EVEN MORE! "Eowen told me about this Annie and i forgot to ask you about her." Saitama said and shift his head to Levi. "His name is Erwin and yes im was going to have a talk with you for that brat. But Hanje came first with her rock."

"Untill we test this experiment we have a long way,for now we must focus on our current goal." The section Commander replied and ended the chat."

After the conversation about the Female titan was over they hear Hanje say. "The Ehrmich District" After their arrival,they separate ways. Levi took pastor Nick with him and Saitama stayed with Eren and Hanje. "Once we leave Ehrmich,we'll be in titan territory. And Saitama make a good impression,i know you have great potential in you from what you have shown to us so far." Moblit met with the three of them. "Eren can you ride a horse?" He asked the titan shifter worried.

"Yes I feel fully recovered now." Moblit was about to continue but Saitama grabbed his attention. "Section Commander is he?" Hanje nodded her head. And she was blushing a little too. "His with me and trust me he is way more than just a show-off." She smiled to Saitama.

"Alright then,Eren your horse is ready at the west lift. Let's hurry" After tooking some steps forward they spot Levi and Nick had returned. "Section Commander we must hurry" Hanje replied back to Moblit "Give me a minute Moblit." She run to speak with Nick.

After he told them about Christa

A girl with a survey corps uniform and a brown ponytail entered the wooden door with a piece of paper in her palm. "Excuse me!" She was a bit serious and funny,Saitama was taking a nice look to her style and thought in his mind.

'Oh her hairstyle looks exactly like one of Fubuki's group member.' She saw him taking good looks on her but she ignored him cause of her recent objective. "104th cadet corps! Sasha Braus!"

"Her?" Eren sayed "Who's that?" Hanje ask him. Then Sasha walk near. And she was behind Eren,Saitama,Mikasa and Armin. "Um This is for you. Section Commander"

Pastor Nick spoke "You must find her at once." "Only she... She may know the truths which even we cannot perceive." "That's all the information i can share." "The rest i leave it to you." Hanje spoke back "If she's in the 104th then she's deep in the front lines right now."

Eren shouted to Mikasa,Armin and the Caped hero. "Let's go!" "We need to hurry!" He accidentally ran on Sasha that was behind him. "Wait!" Before she fall down Saitama catch her with an inhuman speed and now she was feeling thankful to this bald man that just helped her.

"Are you alright?" Saitama gave her a question and he look down to confirm she's all good. Sasha was now staring Saitama just like she was always doing with food on the table... With pure joy. "I'm a lot better nooooow" She touched his cheeks,winked at him and she was blushing too. "Here you go."

He said leaving Sasha back on her feet. "Sasha... What are you doing here?" Mikasa asks her and then she immediately remembered why she was there and stood up. "Upon my arrival, I gave my report to the Commander! Afterwards i was entrusted to deliver this message to the section Commander!" Sasha took a gentle bow and gave the paper to Hanje. "Message? Thank you. Good work!"

The section Commander took the message from Sasha's hands and trade it with a cooked potato which Sasha that was blushed now. Almost ate it all,but she hold the half piece of the potato and ask Saitama. "Do y-you want this?" Saitama with his expression turned into a happy one from seeing nice food didn't deny and ate the other half. "Thank you ponytail girl."

She put her hands behind her belly. "Call me Sasha" He nodded again to her and then his vision shifted towards the others. "So who is this girl in the 104th?" Hanje ask Eren.

"She's the smallest one of us." Armin gave her more details about Christa. "She's got long golden hair. Um and...She's cute." She's always hanging aroung Ymir." Mikasa said making Hanje think of it while Levi was standing behind. "Ymir?"

They got prepared to head at Christa's location. "Everyone understand?" Hanje reply to all of them and taking a synchronized answer. "Yes!" Eren was getting even more worried about the situation. "We've got to go!" Levi stop Eren telling him to calm down. "You all listen too." The Captain took the attention of Saitama,Mikasa,Eren and Armin. "We're going our own ways now. The rest is up to you 4. Erwin may have thrown together your squad but everything's riding on you. Got it Armin? Work with Hanje and combine your knowledge." "Y-Yes sir!" Levi shifted to Mikasa "Mikasa. I don't know why you're so attached to Eren but... Use your utmost of your ability to protect Eren at all costs."

"Yes sir! Of course!" Eren came up next to speak with him. "Eren... Learn how to restrain yourself. Don't succumb to rage and lose sight of the goal. We can't afford another mistake." Levi was staring them all with a very serious face. "Yes, sir!" Finally the attention of the team was now on the Caped baldy who was cleaning his eyes. "And finally...

Saitama" They all immediately thought in their heads 'it's the first time Captain Levi calling him with his name.' "This is the first time you will be in public action,so please do make a good show for the audience. And i mean use your real potential and don't hold back. Keep your eyes peeled,protect whoever you can but most importantly Eren just like Mikasa." Saitama raised his left eyebrow in surprice and retord back to the short Captain.

"You want me not to hold back? You seriously asking me this?" The hero's innocent face took confirmation after Levi nodded. "Nah i think a normal punch is more than enough and you will see why." Saitama shifted to the teenagers. "Yes! i want to see you finally fighting titans with your bare hands Saitama. Let us witness your true power!" Armin said to him and the hero gave him back a word as an answer. "Ok"

They all ride on their horses except for Saitama who was able to keep up with their speed on foot,the soldiers around him excluding Mikasa,Eren,Armin who they witnessed it before. Got shocked and some of them almost fall from their horse by seeing this. The Caped hero reach next to Hanje and Moblit who was staring Saitama with huge awe.

"Saitama. I never doubted about your unbelievable powers!" Yes she did when she first met him. But she would never admit it. "There's a tower nearby where we can assess the Wall. It's in an abandoned castle to the southwest. We'll ride to Utgard castle." She said to the hero with a calm expression. The 3 teenagers who was a little further behind of them. Was seeing this godly like human. "Mikasa this is not a dream... I cannot wait to see what he can do against titans!" Eren said but she was looking frustrated for that. "Hey what is it Mikasa?" Armin join in the conversation.

"No...It's nothing..." They was all heading to the Utgard castle to rescue Christa and the others.

When the rescuers arrived

A titan was extending his hand to grab Christa while she thought 'Wait... I still...' Then it was a fist of a red glove that punched the titan's face and made him literally explode! Leaving Christa with wide open eyes and with an inner paralized shock. Her savior stood on a small boulder of the tower and turned back to face her. "You did well on your own..." It was the Caped Baldy with a serious expression. Then Mikasa landed next to him,shifting her head to Christa and replying. "Leave the rest to us."

Christa shouted while she was staring at the badass duo. "Mikasa! And who is..." "I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun." The little girl wasn't able to believe what she just witnessed. All the survey corps members came flying with their maneuver gears and start slaughtering the titans.

"Have the others to disperse and cover the area! The rest of us will attack where the titans are gathering!" Hanje gave the order and a guard next to her said back. "Got it!" Eren took off to kill his first titan with the swords but that took Hanje's attention.

"Hey! We don't need you to be a part of the attack!" Eren ignored her and launch himself behind the titan,cutting off his nape. "I did it! My first kill!" He was happy but the hooks of his gear tied up with each other and made him fall down. Saitama prevented Eren's fall and grabbed his back,leaving him on the ground. "Fewwww thanks Saitama! And You Moron! I told you to stay back Eren!" Eren stood up and retord to them. "Right! i'm sorry and Saitama. Thank you!" Saitama nodded to him with his serious face. "Hey!" "Eren!" It was Connie,Reiner and Bertholdt with him. They was running close to the titan shifter and the hero.

"You guys!" Eren replied with surprice while Mikasa and the others was killing titans at the background. "Thank god you made it!" Connie said in relief but now the one that was on the spotlight was Saitama that instantly took everyone's attention (Connie,Reiner,Bertholdt and even members that was fighting) from the start when he killed the titan and saved Christa. "Who is he Eren?" Reiner ask with shock while Connie and Bertholdt had the same planted expressions cause of Saitama's infinite strength.

"Right... Here is humanity's second glitter of hope and his name is Saitama. He said to us when we first met him that he is a hero for fun,he fell from the sky and ended up in our world. And his abilities are OUT OF THIS WORLD! His probably ten times stronger than my titan form. Cause i just can't imagine myself fist clashing with him. I mean you saw what he just did and saved Christa!?" Reiner and Bertholdt start sweating for some unknown reason.

'This is bad... really bad... We had to deal with Eren and now this!? Who the hell is this Saitama now. That pops out of nowhere and punch titans to oblivion!?' Reiner thought inside his mind 'We must inform it to Zeke immediately! Or else...'

"Get to cover i can handle this alone" The Caped baldy walk towards another titan grabbing his attention. When he jump all the way down to eat and swallow the hero Eren,Connie,Reiner, and Bertholdt heared three words coming out of Saitama's mouth before turning the titan into ashes and vaporizing blood. With only his right hand and a killing look on his face. "Consecutive Normal Punches." After the fight was done everyone's attention was on the hero and Christa who was holding Ymir in her hands. It seems she was a titan shifter like Eren.

"It can't be true... Saitama is indeed a..." Armin was about to say something but Eren finish for him. "A living God..." Armin stared back to Christa and Ymir. "And that... Ymir is..." Hanje was next to Ymir and Christa. Then the little blonde spoke to the injured Ymir who was missing her right hand.

"Ymir..." Ymir opened her eyes slowly and her stare was into Christa's eyes. Christa smiled to her and showed tears of relief. "My real name... Is Historia." Ymir gave her a slight smile and closed her eyes. Everyone went silence for a couple of seconds before Saitama said to Hanje with his now neutral expression planted on his face.

"Where i can find the bathroom?" Hanje now start to understand why Levi was smacking his head back then.
