Author's Note: HELLO EVERYONE! Sorry for the long wait and I'm glade for your patience.

Here we have the next chapter of this story, this time we dive a little bit into Marley and perhaps find out what has become of the two surviving Nebulans.

Chapter 2: Situation.

The top generals of Marley's army gathered around a table as Marshal Clavi took today's newspaper.

"The Recent attacks caused by creatures identified as 'Kaiju; are causing major problems around the world," Marshal Calvi read. "Not just our beloved Marley. Attacks from giant Mantises have been reported in Rolisica, resulting in numerous loss of livestock and missing persons."

"There have also been reports from the country of Selgina of attacks from underground."

Theo Magath sat calmly as he and the rest continued to listen to the Marshal.

"It's been revealed that the monsters originated from Paradis. Might as well start calling Paradis 'Monster Island'."

"Appropriate I suppose," Calvi commented as he continued. "Thankfully there's been fewer sightings in Marley so far. Despite this, all of our military forces have been ordered to return home to prepare for further attacks."

Marshal Calvi finished the article as he placed it on the table.

"This, along with the failed attack on Fort Slava, begs me to ask this question."

He clamped his hands together, calmly looking at his fellow officers.

"When is that blasted weapon going to be ready?!"

"Sir," Spoke Theo Magath. "At this moment, Lord Tybur is checking on the project. And when it's complete, we will no longer-"

"We'll no longer rely on Titans. You're becoming a broken record, Margath," said one of the officers. "Now if you ask me, I still don't trust those…abominations."

Many of them shared that opinion. Who wouldn't? Once Zeke brought them to the homeland the soldiers were close to shooting them down. But what they promised was too good to be true.

The Nebulans, as they called themselves, promised new weapons; faster aircrafts called Jets. Tanks with a new style of weapons called Masers.

Supposedly they could kill those aliens, but their technology was too advanced for any of their scientist to figure out. A deal was struck; They promised to build a weapon in three years in exchange for their lives and habitation on Marley.

And the deal is nearly up.

"With the Kaiju emerging earlier than anticipated we have no choice," Magath argued. "Especially since we only have three Titan shifters left."

"Oh yes, that reminds me," Marshal Calvi stated. "How's the Son of Miracles' assignment?"

One of the officers, a short round man, took out a folder and opened it.

"Everything's going well, there has been no signs of troubles of the inhabitants."

"Well that's good news," Calvi nodded. "What about his little experiments? What of those two?"

"Why are we still using those failures?" said the officer at Calvi's left. "The third one already betrayed us, how long before the rest do?"

The Marshal rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

"Until the weapon is ready, they're all we have left to defend ourselves from the monsters, and any other nations that might have the balls to attack us."

Magath agreed with the Marshal. "Indeed. With them on the Island (under Zeke's supervision) perhaps they will do better until all is ready."

Somewhere far from Marely, in a disclosed location, Zeke Yeager slumped over his desk.

His notebook in front of him, he sighed while turning the pages. Before he could add anything new, he had to review the important parts he already wrote. First, he looked over something from four years prior:

After a failed attempt to obtain the Founding Titan, Reiner discovered something much more extraordinary: somehow our comrade Berlot Hoover managed to find a way to combine Titan flesh with organic matter. Luckily, he was able to hand over a sample. My curiosity is hard to keep down. I'll have to put my plans on hold for now. This development needs my attention.

Zeke skipped ahead, then continued.

The cellular structure is unlike anything I've encountered in Titan studies. What's more, just as a Titan host, it produces its own sort of spinal fluid (despite the obvious lack of a spinal cord).

I created an experiment to see if this new liquid can possibly mix with a shifter. It was a success! With little effort it blends into a vial of my own spinal fluid. I've a theory that may change the entire field. Within a week's time, I will be given a test group courtesy of our "gracious" homeland's medical department.

He turned the pages to the following week's report.

My three test subjects have arrived, though I had hopped for more…stable individuals. All of them Eldian of course. All of them from an asylum back home. The first subject, Gabera, was labeled criminally insane. Clearly they didn't mind if these tests went south on this one. The second, a pair of twins; one "Gaira,"a known cannibal, and one "Sanda," whose defect was vocal in nature, but otherwise harmless.

Using the combination of fluids I injected into them, my theory has been proven correct. Whatever happened to Mr. Hoover has caused a missing link between Titans and true organisms to be formed. I've done the impossible; added three to the nine. I've created NEW shifters from my own titan serum! The twin's forms bear remarkable similarities to the Beast Titan! I must unlock the secrets of this new lifeform.

This changes everything, even the plan.

"Perhaps not for the better," Zeke said to himself, then he pulled out a pen and wrote down the latest entry to his journal, then observed it.

I soon made a shocking discovery that may cause some situations if it was let out. It would seem by making new titans it has caused-

Knock, Knock!

Zeke put his journal down and turned to the door. "Come in."

Yelena, one of his loyal followers entered as she saluted, "Sir, Gabera and Gaira are at it again."

Zeke rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Have they transformed yet?"

"No," she answered, "We have armed soldiers ready to remind them of their current situation."

"Good," Zeke said as he put his notebook away, "Any attacks?"

"No sir, as a matter of fact I have my doubts that there are any Kaijus here," Yelena answered.

Zeke grabbed a cloth and cleaned his glasses, "The reports here say otherwise. Soon all the monsters will wake up."

"Let's hope this weapon will be ready before then," Yelena remarked.

"Indeed." Zeke put his glasses back on and headed out the door. "Sir?"

Zeke paused and glanced at Yelena. "Yes?"

"Don't forget your injections."

Zeke nodded, "Thank you for reminding me." He turned around and walked back to his desk and pulled one of the drawers and he took out a syringe.

He stared at the sparkling liquid within it. One more success, courtesy of Bertholdt. For because of this, life is extended for two more years.

Zeke pulled his sleeve up and injected himself. "Now, let's correct those idiots."

"Good morning, Lord Tybur."

Willy Tybur paid no attention to the two soldiers as they opened the carriage door. As Willy stepped out of it, he observed the two squad of soldiers each one with their weapons out and ready as they stood in front of the large warehouse.

As one of the men helped his sister out, Willy motioned one of the men to come near him.

"Are their men guarding the back?"

"Yes, my lord," said the proud Marley soldier, "We keep rotating men every hour as instructed."

"Good," Willy nodded.

He took his sisters arm and the two of them walked straight towards the front of the building and stopped in front of the two guards by the metal door.

"Has anyone entered?" The Lord Tybur asked, with his sister standing by his side almost protectively.

"No sir, as was instructed," spoke the solider on the left.

"Have they come out?"

"No sir," said the solider on the right, "The…Nebulans haven't come out."

"Good," Willy nodded. "Has anything happened to the two soldiers inside?"

"No, sir," The soldiers said at once.

Lord Tybur nodded, "Are your weapons loaded?"

The soldiers both answered yes. Willy slowly walked to the door and knocked three times.

All at once, every soldier tightened their weapons and eyed the door while Willy's sister slowly raised her finger to her mouth as the door slowly opened.

A three-clawed hand slowly opened the door and out with it came a huge insectoid head. It glanced at Willy for a moment, then stood between the doorway.

"Lord Tybur," it spoke. "What do we owe the honor of your visit?"

Willy cleared his throat as he kept his composure, all the while noticing the two Marley soldiers behind the Nebulan, watching carefully at it. "Forgive me, but which one are you again?"

The Nebulan chuckled, the laugh nearly a cackle, "No need. I am Fumio. The difference between Kabuto and I is our mouths; I have a round mouth while his is pointed."

"Indeed," Willy remarked. "As for why I am here. I came to check on your progress."

"On the weapon?" Fumio asked. "The status of the weapon is nearly complete. It just requires more material, as well as few other things."

Willy raised an eye brow. "What kind of things?"

"Don't worry my Lord," said Fumio. "We will handle that. By the way, we are sorry about the loss in Fort Slava."

Willy raised his brow a little, "How did you know about that?"

"We are allies, are we not?" Fumio asked, "It is in our best interest that Marley stands tall despite the…added inconveniences."

"But you are asking me; how I know about the failed attack? Well, we Nebulans have good hearing."

"I see." Willy tried to keep his eyes on Fumio but it was a challenge to remain in eye contact with this creature. "Anyway, I came here to remind you that the deal is nearly up. So, I hope you keep your end of our bargain."

Fumio took a small step closer, causing the soldiers to ready their weapons. Willy flinched and his sister was ready to bite her hand. Instead of attacking, the Nebulan bowed before him.

"You are the lord of Marley. And we; the last of the Nebulans; are your humble servants.

We will not fail you."

Willy motioned the guards to lower their weapons, then glanced at his sister as she lowered her arm. He looked back at Fumio. "Yes well, you may resume your work then."

Fumio bowed again but before he went back in, the Nebulan glanced at the soldier at his left, slowly reached towards him. All everyone held their breath wondering what was going to happen.

Fumio reached the soldier's head straightening his helmet.

"A solider must look presentable," Fumio said as he opened the door and went back inside.

As soon as the door was closed Willy took deep breaths and placed a hand on his chest.

"Are you alright sir?" Willy didn't know which of the soldiers asked and he didn't care. He turned around and wanted to get as far away from the Nebulans as he could.

"Brother?" His sister said to him with a tone that reminded him of their mother.

"Sister," He said, "If it wasn't for the early coming of the Kaiju I would have those creatures slaughtered! But we need their technology and with their weapon, the world will be free of both Monsters. Kaiju and Eldian."

"We just have to wait a little longer."

Fumio walked away from the door, paying no mind to their guards and joined his partner up on a large Makeshift ramp.

"RRRAAAG! I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!"

Fumio sighed. Kubota was having another one of his fits. Thankfully Fumio convinced him to let his anger out only in their native language.

"Now Kubota, remember the plan-"

Kubota glared at Fumio. His Mandibles clicking in frustration. "I am tired of waiting! I am tired of having to act nice with these apes!"

"As am I, my friend," Fumio said while placing a clawed hand on his comrade's shoulder, "But let me remind you of the situation we are in. We are without our ship, we have limited technology, and are the last of our kind in this universe."

"The only thing we have that is keeping us alive is the weapon we promised." Fumio moved his head towards their machine nearly completed. "And remember, the weapon is not just for their enemies. But for ours as well."

Kubota's anger subsided as he gave a small chuckle, "I can almost see the looks on their faces when they see that not only do we still live but we have a new instrument of their doom!"

The Nebulans chuckle soon turned into laughter. The two soldiers that watched them with a mix of fear and disgust, they know that their duty was to assist these creatures if they need it but also to carefully watch for any signs of betrayal.

"Hey!" shouted the oldest guard giving out a brave face. "What are you laughing about?

That bravado left as soon as Kubota jumped off the ramp and right in front of the guard, causing him to fall on his butt and drop his riffle. The younger guard raised his and pointed it at Kubota should he attack.

Kubota looked down at the guard, then he picked up the riffle and gave it back to the man, who grabbed it quickly as he stood back up.

"If you must know," Kubota spoke in marleyan, "I'm getting hungry. And I want something different than the usual food."

"A-and what is it that you want?" the guard said, attempting to keep his calm.

Drool started leaking from Kubota's mandibles, "I want an 'Eldian' child. Bring one here so I can feast."

The two guards almost started to relax a little after that, then the old guard turned to his younger subordinate. "Well, don't just stand there, go find any devil child and-"

HAHAHWHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAAHAH!

The guards jumped at loud laughter emanating from Kubota. The Alien was even holding his sides as he continued laughing.

"Oh Fumio, did you hear that? They-hahaha-they are actually going to give me a child, one of their own kind, as food! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

The old guard glared at Kubota, "Does this mean you don't want it?" said the younger guard.

Kubota finally calmed down as he glanced at them, "Oh, you are very lucky that we our allies. Cause with the way you are now, I doubt you would survive our invasion."

Kubota then jumped up high back to the ramp, the old man continued to glare at them. "Lucky for us there is only two of you monsters."

Despite him saying it quietly the two Nebulans heard him, but they ignored the ape as they continued to work on the weapon. Not only for their allies, but for their revenge.

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long. A lot of stuff happened, plus sine it was the Holiday season, my mind has been off of GXT for a little while, but no worries! I'm back! Maybe I'll try a routine where I would do a chapter once or twice a month, who knows.

Still I hope you guys at least enjoyed this chapter. Stay tuned for more!
