CHILL I AIN'T DEAD YET!
After being 'swallowed' by Timmy over here, 'yes, this big boy's name is Timmy, but enough of that.' I teleported myself outside the walls, in a nearby forest so I could transform without being noticed. I knew only the Colossal and the female titan could cause an explosive transformation but better be safe than sorry, and I knew everyone will be too busy saving their asses to notice a yellow flash in a random forest outside wall Ro— anyway!
You may be asking: "Why didn't you just use a clone so you could enter the walls without being sus?" Honestly? I forgot I could do that. I remembered it only halfway in Timmy's mouth which was disgustang, ew. When the poor fella saw who he had in his mouth, he almost spat me out which urged me to use [Titan control] to make him act like a normal..? abnormal? titan in time. But that aside, I was now in my titan form, heading to the entrance or, well, what was left of it.
When I got in, I immediately headed to where I felt Eren's presence. Boi had already turned into a titan and was now wreacking havoc in the district. I knew that killing the titans here was crucial to gain an advantage for the upcoming trial and It pained me whenever I stumbled upon one because they would just stand and smile at me, probably happy that i was the one free them.
Seriously, I had no idea how to reverse the curse. Sure removing part of it was...easy but all of it?
'Maybe if I pull out a Eren at the end of the manga it could work- yeah nope, not happening.'
I don't even have the founding titan's power for that. Maybe there are other solutions...reading fanfictions was maybe a good idea since some of them succeeded in turning pure titans into humans, using tricks pulled outta nowhere. Hmm, guess I'll think about it later.
Sighing, I moved toward my favorite titan, stopping from time to time to save people from being eaten.
"WA-WHAT THE HELL?!"
"HOLY SHI-"
"Damn that titan got a nice ass~."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, BOB."
And their reactions to my presence were hilarious. Despite their failed attempts to kill me, since I reinforced my entire being so I won't be pierced by their ODM gears, making sure they can't hold on to me. Bwhahaha! the face they made when one dude's blades shattered on my nape like glass! Almost burst out laughing at the terrified scream he released after that not gonna lie.
I continued my walk toward Eren, that is until I saw a giant head being yeeted at full speed in a tower, encasing itself in it.
'DAYUM, EREN GOT NO CHILL'
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" The titan roared in rage. 'Ight, let's do this..'
3rd POV
.
.
On a nearby roof, three cadets watched in amazement a titan, for the first time in history, attack its kind. The blond of the group who had some doubts about his idea's success suggested a plan to his friends.
"I've got an idea!"
"What is it then?" Connie interrogated, both he and Mikasa turned around to look at Armin.
"Only you two will be able of pulling this off, so it's really your choice! This may sound crazy, but I think he might be useful!", he declared to the two's surprise.
"Wait, You mean the titan?" Connie gaped in disbelief.
"He only attacks his own kind, he seems to have no interest in us. What if, we guide him to HQ and let him loose on the other titans?", Connie was about to speak but the blond went on, "Look, we know he's taken one out already, we could use him as a weapon."
"Did you hit your head? How the hell are we supposed to do that?!", the bald boy inquired in worry. Armin turned to look at the still raging titan.
"It seems like he's fighting on instinct. I'm almost sure if we take down his preys he'll go look for others. That will lead him straight to HQ, it's more like luring him there actually...I think it'll work, I really do!—"
"'THINK?!' YOU WANT US TO RISK OUR LIVES ON A STUPID GUT FEELING?!"
"If I'm right about this, we could put down the siege on HQ in one swoop!", this made Connie back off a bit while the Asian who kept silent from the beginning spoke.
"It's better than waiting around to be slaughtered. If there's a decent shot, why not take it." Armin smiled at her, thankful for her support.
"SO BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA RECRUIT A TITAN.", poor Connie was on his way to cry at their crazy idea when—
"That's the idea, yes."
The three cadets jumped out of their skins when a fourth voice sounded right behind them. Thinking about it, a shadow was looming over them for a while. Slowly turning around, the blond and the bald boy's eyes widened at the sight of the new guest. Reflex immediately kicking, Mikasa shot off, blades ready to end this...this abnormal...? But the titan quickly caught the girl in its hand to the horror of the two boys.
"MIKASAAAA!!!" Armin and Connie screeched in horror.
"Wait, I won't do anything to her—", the three cadets froze in shock, 'IT CAN SPEAK?!!', while the Female?? titan put the shaken girl, who quickly put some distance between them, down.
"Y-Y-you c-an t-alk..k..." The blond who was shaking like a leaf asked the 18-meters who hastily nodded.
"Yes, but now is not the time for questions, I have come to aid you with your plans, we must hurry!", snapping her fingers, their gears automatically filled themselves and new blades appeared out of nowhere to their surprise, "Now you three are good to go, be careful!", she said before going after the wild titan who was attacking another one. The three stood bewildered, still shaken by what just happened.
"Did that just happen...?" Connie's face was so pale that he could rival Mikasa's at this point. Armin blinked, still shocked by what just happened while Mikasa touched her back and waist, not feeling any pain from her earlier fall. 'What the hell was that...?'
"I...I don't know what to think anymore...", Armin weakly stated. A titan attacking its kind was already enough for him, BUT ONE THAT COULD SPEAK? He pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. 'what the hell...' He was brought out of his thought when he saw the horned titan near the raging one.
'is he going to attack her...?'
Walking toward the attack titan, the grey-skinned one watched as he turned to look at her, glaring in her direction. She tilted her head in question when he went to give a punch to her, before halting his movements. The three cadets gasped in shock when the one who killed every titan it crossed path with, stopped his punch mere inches away from the taller one's chest and watched in a stupor as the female titan patted his head in...
'Fondness?!' the three screeched in their minds.
"Good Boy...no need to be wary, I am on your side. I'm here to help you in your task." she smiled when the titan LITERALLY purred in delight to the bewilderment of the three cadets.
"IT'S PURRING?!" Connie yelled out while shaking the shoulders of a flabbergasted Mikasa, "IT'S FREAKING PURRING!! MIKASA, ARMIN! I DIDN'T KNOW TITANS COULD PURR!!", he looked down and noticed the new blades. "I HAVE BLADES?! WHAT THE FU—"
"A-as unbelievable as it sounds...w-we should...continue with the p-plan..", Armin quickly shook his head, 'with a snap of her fingers she filled our gears and added more blades to them...how the hell did she do that...?', He threw an uncertain look to Mikasa who responded with a confused glance.
"R-right! God if I get out of this, I'll tell my family about what just happened.heh, sure they won't believe me!" Connie muttered before they hesitantly neared the two beasts.
"Come on, we should get going.", She flickered the titan's nose who grunted, gladly following after the comforting aura she was emanating.
The thing was completely acting on instinct swaying himself into following Mother's orders without fail. They quickly eliminated any titans getting on their way to HQ, while the grey-skinned one caught a lot of soldiers attention since she was a unique one, the three cadets helped clear the way for them most of the time, which made them quickly near the base who was actively being surrounded by titans.
The brown-haired titan looked excitedly toward the taller one who gave him an amused look before nodding, allowing him to jump in the swarm of unaware titans who were more interested in the humans hidden in the building. Once the attack titan jumped to literally yeet two titans peeking in, the three cadets quickly crashed inside by the windows, startling Jean who almost thought his time had finally come.
"M-Mikasa you're-"
"Holy shit that was close! I thought I would die if it wasn't for— HOLY SHIT!!" Connie shouts in disbelief startling the poor horseface whose heart was already beating fast, "SHE SAVED MY ASS BACK THERE!!", the bald boy screeched while shaking poor Armin to the confusion of Jean.
"What is he talking about...?" he asks Mikasa who had regained her blank features. She stood up about to answer before Connie interrupted her with wide eyes open.
"YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME BUT WE FOUND TWO ABNORMALS THAT ARE BEATING UP THEIR KIND!", he then pointed toward the female titan who was standing in the corner, watching the other slaughter a bunch of titans with a hand on her hip, "AND THIS ONE CAN TALK!! SHE LITERALLY SAVED MY ASS BACK THERE!!", This rose various kinds of reaction from the cadets in the room while Armin and Mikasa exchanged a glance.
"Oi Oi, what the hell are you saying—"
"He-he's saying the truth Jean...as crazy as it sounds," the blond backs up Connie's claim as he turns to look at the horned titan in wonder, "That one seems to be intelligent...which is slightly worrying, but she helped us get here, so I'm not sure...", the blond trailed off while they all watched the horned one. In their panic, they hadn't taken the time to watch her closely, and now could see how beautiful she actually was.
Jean frowned as he watches the three look at the 18-meters, while there is literally another one maiming the others. The cadets started muttering among them while the three shifters paid close attention to this new titan. 'Where the hell did it come from?', was the thought lingering in their heads. Another female titan..? This wasn't possible...was she the one they were looking for? The founding titan?
'What the hell is the meaning of this...?', Jean asked himself when he saw the aggressive one shoot a 3-meter, sending it soar in the air like a ball, landing in a building 200 meters away.
"While those two are out there, we should go replenish our gears." The Asian stoically said, pulling some of the cadets back to reality. "We don't know when we'll have an occasion like this, we should go for it right now." as if on cue, the green-eyed titan roared attracting the other titans to his position.
It seemed like they all dismissed the 18-meters one, all focusing their attention on the one attacking them. Hesitantly nodding, the cadets started going down for the supply room, still wary of their saviors? They quickly followed after Mikasa, leaving Armin behind who was looking at the grey-skinned one. His eyes widened when he saw her gold sclera stare right at him before freezing as she threw him a small...warm smile.
'C-Colith...?'
No that wasn't possible, he saw her die...like Eren. He saw them both die and he couldn't—
"Armin, you comin?" Connie popped his head out of the door, successfully snapping the blond out of his mourning.
"Y-Yeah I'm coming!" He quickly followed after the bald boy.
The cadets of the 104th division had successfully eliminated the roaming titans in the supply room and were now filling their tanks and equipping themselves. This was a first in history, freshly promoted cadets who survived the impossible and probably got two powerful allies in their ranks. How many soldiers could say that they survived this when they were freshly promoted cadets? Not much.
Armin received thanks from cadets who were impressed that his plan worked without casualties, however the blond was still stuck on one thing, this abnormal who smiled at him earlier. She reminded him of his now-dead sister. Was it just grief that made him see the black girl's ghost on a titan...? or was he losing it—
"Armin." A hand landed on his back which brought him back to reality. A worried Mikasa was looking at him, "Are you alright?", she softly asked. The boy blinked before throwing her an unsure smile.
"I don't know if I can say yes, after everything that happened today, but...this 18-meters one...", He trailed off as the raven-haired girl understood where he was getting at.
"We don't know what their motives are...but those two helped us save Iur lives...", she adjusted her scarf while rubbing her right wrist were a bandage rested, "I don't know what will happen after that, but we should go to safety first, and see what will happen..", she gave him a small smile which relieved him a bit.
"Yeah...you're right..", with that, she went out first, leaving Armin behind who had paused his preparation earlier to think. Once done, he went along the others who were shouting in delight for being able to get the hell out of here. Finally out, his gaze landed on the Asian who was standing on the roof, looking at something. Curious, he shot off toward her.
"What the hell are you doing? We have to leave now!"
"Look at this..", He followed Mikasa's gaze, catching sight of a surreal scene. While the brown-haired titan appeared exhausted and unable to regenerate anymore, the grey-skinned one was killing the ones who tried to get near the 15-meters one by literally slashing their heads off with her hands. The display made Armin and Mikasa tremble in fright. 'she...she's dangerous!!', they both thought at the same time.
"Do you think...We should help..?", the blond asked, when he saw the horned titan support the other one with furrowed eyebrows, with what looked like concern on her face. 'she's worried for him..?'
"I don't think they need it...", Jean utters in disbelief at Armin's statement. He, Reiner Annie, and Bertholdt were on the roof observing the scene as well. "Us? helping titans?! Are you out of your mind?!", He screeched.
"Think about it, We could use them to get rid of the others titans. This could save us a lot of sacrifices with their strength." Mikasa stated, confident at her reasoning. Jean's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"She's right. They're too valuable to let them die. There's too much we could learn from them. I think it's perfectly clear our priority should be to help them, there's no good to let a chance like this slip out." Reiner added his opinion which made Jean pale.
'Are they for real right now...?'
"We just got a path out of this nightmare and you want us to stay for two abnormals?!", He exclaimed desperately trying to convince them to leave it. Poor boy just wanted to get the hell out of here and quick.
"Think about it, having two abnormals as allies would be an incredible advantage, right? A cannon's got nothing on a titan who likes to rip his own kind." Annie said keeping a blank face. Bertholdt stayed silent, choosing to watch the beasts in curiosity. If they were what they came for, it would make their mission easier and they'd be able to return home soon.
Jean backed away a bit, shocked and baffled that his friends really thought of helping two titans with unknown motives. He turned to the two who were once cornered by others before seeing that there were fewer and fewer approaching both. However, heavy footsteps alerted the Arlert (haha lol) when he recognized the new titan who was dangerously closing the two.
"Oh no... This is the one...who ate C-Colith...", this immediately caught everyone's attention since they gasped in shock before anger bubbled in their chests. Mikasa and Annie were about to zoom and end this titan's whole career when an enraged roar coming from the teal-eyed titan made them all jolt in fright. Even the 18-meters backed away a bit, surprised by the intensity of his rage.
'Why is he reacting like this?', Armin thought frantically.
They watched in morbid awe as the titan literally rushed to the unaware titan that had eaten the person they cared for the most and proceeded to relentlessly attack it by smashing his fist in pure rage on its face.
"What the hell...", Jean muttered in awed horror while the others watched the titan pour his wrath on the smashed potato-like titan. After a last powerful roar, he toppled to forward and he would've met the ground if the horned one didn't catch him midfall. "huh.. looks like this one is out of the picture now..."
They watched in awe as the grey-skinned titan gently put the exhausted one on his stomach like a mother would do to a child, before standing up and bolting toward the places with titans to the shock of the teenagers who mistook this as her running away, resulting in them shouting in disbelief.
"WHAT?! SHE'S RUNNING AWAY, JUST LIKE THAT?!" Armin and Mikasa were frowning at this sudden turn of events as Jean shouted.
"WE NEED TO GO AFT-" Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt were about to go after her when all their attention was brought by the sound of flesh being ripped coming from the steaming corpse of the titan, especially its nape.
"What the-"
And how surprised were they when they saw someone come out of the titan's nape? Mikasa's eyes lit up when she recognized the figure and quickly jumped to the person she loved the most in this cruel world thinking she would never see him again...
"Eren...!"
Colith: smooth escape pouloulou~
