Chapter 5 (Saitama and Eren vs Reiner and Bertholdt) {Round 2}
"You damn traitors!" Those were the last words before Eren transform into his titan form, punch Armored titan's face and collided it with the Wall all the way down to the solid ground! Who was now had both of his hands exploded from Eren's transformation and Saitama's normal punch.
Both Eren and Reiner in their titan forms hitted the ground and caused massive damage to it making ashes. And huge clouds of smoke coming out of the holes they made.
As for Saitama he didn't had a single scratch on him, only the debris and the smoke got his suit all dirty. He landed gently to the ground a little further from Reiner and Eren while he said. "Oh man... My suit got all filthy, that red monster up there better be worthy!" He was referring to the Colossal titan that was on the Wall half-top transformed.
Back on the Wall Mikasa thought in her mind while she was still in a dire situation after her close combat with the unstoppable hero. 'If only... If only I'd cut off his head! I could decapitate the others 2 too! I could got rid of all 3 of them! That was the perfect chance! I should've be able to do it, but that baldy bastard prevented me from doing it. It's obvious he was with them all along! I knew it from the start, something was awful with him and his shiny head! That motherfucker!'
She crawled near the edge, with still more drops of blood falling on the floor from her wound. And saw what was going on with Eren,Reiner and Saitama. She tryed not to lose her senses and pass out but she knew if that happend.
She was good as dead, the Colossal titan prepared to attack, Mikasa thought once more with a deadly expression on her face. 'That was it. There won't be another chance!' The Colossal begun his assault, He extended his gigantic left arm against the survey scouts.
"Everyone, jump away from the Wall!" Hanje ordered and they obeyed. "It got Ymir!" Historia shouted who stared the Colossal titan's hands, he had someone else in his grasp too. "And somebody else too!" A random scout said before the Colossal titan eat both of Ymir and the random guy that was holding in his other hand. "He ate 'em!" Historia's eyes widen in fear and despair. "Th-This can't be..." Sasha spoke and Armin followed while they was hanging from the side of the Wall. "Bertholdt..."
Hanje hissed a little and then she figured out a plan. "All soldiers. prepare to attack! We're taking down the Colossal titan! It's a threat to all humanity!" Hanje retorted and launched herself back, She did a backflip and used her maneuver gear to get back on the Wall. "Swarm the huge bastard!" All the scouts prepelled themselfs against the Colossal titan.
He attempted to punch them in a single blow but his speed was too slow. Hanje and the scouts flewed right next of the giant arms and made their way behind his nape.
Hanje shouted to the scouts "Now's our chance! Slice up his neck!" The Colossal titan suddenly opened his mouth and tons of hot steam were coming out of his entire body rapidly.
"Everyone, fall back!" Hanje shouted to everyone and they flew back like flies. "My hand!" A scout said while he were holding his hand. "Water! Bring water!" Another one shouted back. Armin had a theory and he try to launch his ODM gear to the Colossal titan but the hot steam threw it away. "We're unable to attack him with ODM gear! Wh-What do we do?!" Hanje's eyes considerably opened as she thought of something.
"We can't do anything but Saitama can!" She run to the edge and screamed as loud as she could. "SAITAMA! WE NEED YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW!" At long last the hero heared her call. "Oh they need me!" Saitama with a small smile jump all the way down where he were back on the Wall, landing on the top. "Thank GOD your not dead!"
Hanje hugged him cause she knew they were running out of options and the hero was the only card in the deck they had remained. "Jeez you missed me so much already?" She placed her hands on the Caped hero's shoulders and asked him. "You are all that we have, can you defeat the Colossal titan?" She waited his answer with anguish.
Saitama with a little bit of excitement planted on his face answered. "Sure, i really hope he won't go down with one punch too." Hanje said before she let him go. "Forget about capturing them. Kill 'em... ...and don't hesitate!"
The hero gave a big question mark expression to Hanje. "Kill 'em? Whoa whoa slow down a little, you mean this giant red monster is just like the Reiner guy? Who transformed a few minutes ago and now he is fighting Eren?" Hanje nodded to the hero and replied.
"They both are inside the napes of those titans! You must kill them Saitama! They are a huge threat to humanity!"
The hero holded his chin and asked. "So they are not monsters? They are humans inside monster napes and they controlling them?" Hanje nodded again giving him confirmation to the question.
"Then i'll simply ask them to come out of the napes, so we can talk this out right?" Some soldiers was whispering with each other and some of the words could be heared like crazy or nuts.
"How can you be so clueless about the situation we are in right now!?" A soldier shouted to the hero that had his attention on the Colossal titan. "Calm down let me handle this." Hanje told to the soldier in a menancing way.
"Try your best to stop them at least alright? If you do humanity will be most welcome to you Saitama." The hero nodded and prepared to go for it, but Mikasa stood up and screamed. "HOLD ON A SECOND!" "Oh?" "Mikasa!?" Armin looked back and saw her face, all bloody and furious. Her death stare was on the Caped baldy.
"HOW CAN WE TRUST THAT BALD BASTARD! AFTER ALL HE DID! Don't you understand!? We are in this situation because of HIM!" She put out and equipped her blades on both hands. "He is a big threat to humanity too!"
Hanje took quick glares to Mikasa and Saitama but she didn't intervene Saitama deadpanned and replied to her.
"Look black hair brat, I didn't mean to have an argue with you. And about what I did to your head I'm really sorry so what if we talk this out after I tell them both to come out of theirs napes? Will that calm you do-" The hero ducked with an inhuman speed. Mikasa attempted to decapitate him but she failed. "Ghrr!" She hissed with anger, Saitama turned around to face her with a neutral expression.
"What is the big deal? I said I'm sorry. Can't you just forget what happened?" Hanje stand front of the hero and ordered Mikasa. "Enough Mikasa! Stay away from Humanity's only hope of killing or even capturing the Colossal titan! If the subject is personal you better keep it for yourself or keep the words for the court!" Saitama was confused and scratched his left eyebrow.
"Court?" He asked Hanje that she answered in return. "Nothing important, for now go up there. And do whatever you think is right! If you don't want to kill him then capture him! Οnly just... ...can you handle the heat there?"
Saitama nodded and took some steps forwards. "Hanje turned around and replied to the scouts. "Armin... and the squad one follow me! We've got a date with the Armored titan! The others stay up here to watch the situation of the Colossal."
The scouts on the wall watched with wide open jaws Saitama. He was normally climbing the Colossal titan's body all the way up next to his neck. The hot heat and the steam pressure were unaffecting him. The scouts hadn't seen anything like this in their entire lifes.
A man dressed like an idiot and claimed to be a hero just climbed the Colossal titan with no hesitation nor fear, That Baldy is immune to high temperatures!
"HOW!?" A scout shouted grabbing their sights. "HUMANITY HAD SUCH WEAPON AND DIDN'T USE IT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION!?"
Everyone were just staring with awe the hero. Historia with now tears covering her eyes said looking at Saitama's location.
"Saitama Please... Rescue Ymir!" Connie wasn't had a clue who the titans was. And said frightened while he carryed a scout on his back. "Where are Reiner and Bertholdt?! They don't have their ODM gears either! Please, go and help those two!" The light brown hair girl didn't replied she only stared back to Saitama.
While Eren got punched from Reiner again, Saitama was on the Colossal titan's shoulder and asked Bertholdt to come out. "Can you please come out? You making things worst for you and your buddy Reiner!" No response from the giant but the hero noticed the Colossal titan's face began getting ripped off and the skull were becoming more visible.
"Oh?" Back with Eren he managed to copy Annie's technique against Reiner. He headlock him and pushed him down to the ground, breaking slowly the armor around Armored titan's body.
Reiner tryed to escape but Eren shouted inside his mind and lock Armored titan's head with his legs. Slamming his face on the ground! 'Think again!'
Eren ripped off one of Reiner's legs and got back up, keeping a little distance between them. "Eren! Can you hear me?!" It was Armin, The Attack titan shifted his head to the blond. "Run away! Get closer to the Wall! Their goal is to kidnap and take you away! We've gotta escape and prevent that from happening!" Eren followed the scouts to the Wall. "Nice, Eren! Good call!" One of them shouted to the titan shifter.
Hanje landed on top of Attack titan's right shoulder and spoke. "Listen up, Eren. If you're gonna escape, we've got to find a way to halt Reiner and buy you some time! I'm was about to ask Saitama to do this with punches, but can you break his leg with another one of those joint rocks? Our blades don't seem to work on him, so use your head and figure out the best course of action!"
The Attack titan nodded to her, making Hanje blush to him. Inside her mind she now knew she would have 2 subjects to work on at the future, Saitama plus Eren!
"Dammit! I could give them to Mikasa but her injury won't allow her to fight next with him and Eren." Armin said disappointed. Reiner begun running to Eren, he knock him down but Eren wasn't ready to give up, one of the soldiers who were flying around the scene with Hanje said. "Shit... Since when could he move so quick?" Another asked "Are we completely useless here?!"
Hanje answered them with a serious expression. "No... If his entire body was hard like stone, there's no way he could move like that. In the armor they used in wars of the past, it had sections at the joints not covered in metal to allow for movement. Like at the armpits and groin... And also... the spot behind the knee. We got a plan here, I hope the same luck for the hero against the Colossal titan.
Saitama saw all the limbs of the Colossal titan skeletical. "Oh I see the guy got out of the nape he was in." The hero jumped down of the now Colossal corpse and after some attoseconds he vanished.
Eren with the help of some scouts had now pinned down Reiner. 'I can win! Against Reiner... I can win!' They all encourage Eren even more "Keep at it! Don't let up!" Reiner crawled a little bit closer to the Wall. And then he screamed sending out an ear-deafering sound.
On the Wall everyone were watching the now torn off Colossal corpse. Connie figured out something about it. "Hey... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"
The bones of the corpse broke and cause it to lose it's balance on the Wall, a scout soldier screamed to Hanje,Armin and the others who were hanging from the side of the Wall. "Above you! Look out!"
The giant corpse fell on Eren and Reiner. Hanje's expression turned into a scared one. "Saitama couldn't fail there's no way! Then how did this happened!?" The impact raised dust and shoved them all away.
The last thing the survey scouts saw fleeing in the horizon was the Armored titan with Eren in his mouth, on the top of the titan's shoulder was Bertholdt with an ODM gear equipped while he carryed Ymir in his hands. Armin screamed in a despaired tone. "Eren!"
Some minutes passed and most of the scouts were pretty badly injured. A scout who was laying next to Section Commander Hanje lift himself up and said.
"Isn't that...? Commander Erwin!" Erwin with multiple survey corps members arrived to the scene while he was riding the horse. Armin said inside himself 'I never thought they'd ride along the Wall. That's probably the quickest route.'
He spoke to Historia next to him. "Christa..." She shifted her head to him "I'd prefer if you stayed back, but..." She cut him off "No matter what you say, I wont. I refuse to wait here when Ymir was taken away. You two should know how I feel."
Connie found the opportunity and joined the conversation. "Christa has a point, Armin. We have plenty of reasons for chasing after them. One of which I cannot believe. That Reiner and Bertholdt are our enemies. I've gotta hear it straight from their mouths." Connie had a serious expression planted on his face. Erwin dismounted from his horse. And one guard greet his arrival. "You made it, Commander Erwin!"
He changed subject and asked "Is the situation the same?" "Yes, sir!" "Good. Deploy the lifts!" Hanje grabbed Moblit's foot "Hanje?!" "Moblit... G-Gimme a map." After he accomplished the task he was given, everyone was gathered around Hanje to hear the plan to save Eren and Saitama if the hero was still breathing.
She put her fingers on the map and started pointing on it. "It might be a long shot, but there's a giant forest here. We should head straight for it. Though, it's not like they have a way to hide the Armored titan's footsteps, but... I think that's where they're headed."
Erwin raised an eyebrow to her and asked in surprise. "What about... Saitama" Hanje didn't want to discuss about that cause it was a bad timing with Mikasa around, but there wasn't a way to avoid it.
"Unknown. His probably dead or captured." Erwin turned his gaze at the horizon and said. "I highly doubt about that man's death, cause he's... Strong." Hanje continued to explain their rescure plan.
Few hours later with Reiner and Bertholdt
Bertholdt exhaled and felt relieved "We did it Reiner we got bo-" A calm voice that was coming from the other shoulder of the Armored titan spoke.
"Why you 2 left all of a sudden?" Bertholdt couldn't believe what he saw, it was Saitama who was picking his nose with a blank expression planted on his face. "REINER HE'S ON YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER KILL HIM!' The Armored titan with a swift swing grabbed Saitama in his hand and attempted to squish the hero like a bug. "You are being rude you know..."
The baldy karate chopped Armored titan's hand and it got completely smashed! Cracks of the armor was falling apart. "No... Way! His strength is crazy it's impossible!" Saitama now stand up blocking their path.
"You know my suit got all filthy here so could you do me a favor and let me test if you can handle a punch?"
Bertholdt blinked a few times and shouted again. "Reiner KILL HIM!" The Armored titan launched a punch right on Saitama, but the hero's mood turned serious and retorted in a manly tone.
'It will be okay if I won't hurt his nape right? Alright here goes' Saitama thought before he deliver the devastating hit. "Killer Move Serious Series:Serious Headbutt"
Armored titan's right arm was completely destroyed and he entirely falled down, He spitted Eren out of his mouth and grumbled in pain, Hot steam came out of the half shredded titan body.
No armor is hard enough for Saitama not be able to penetrate. Bertholdt lost his balance and hit the ground, both him and the unconscious Ymir. "I see you have 2 hostages too, in that case. Let them go now or else..."
Saitama's eyes were covered by shadows before he shift his head back to face Bertholdt.
"Get punched." Bertholdt's eyes showed an emotion he never had experienced against other enemies before, true terror.
