Our Reckoning - Immediate Music
1. A weary looking Alto splashes water on his face. 'Today, the Scouts will pass through Stohess, and Eren Jaeger-'
'Will be handed over to the Royal Government.' Annie rubs her face with a cloth and slides on her MP uniform.
"Jesus...it's so boring out here."
"What are we protecting the convoy from? I mean, we've been at peace for one hundred years. I've never heard of anyone trying to defy the government. I mean, there are petty criminals and gangs but an actual organization is unheard of."
"What's going on here?" Annie asks as Armin pulls back his hood.
"Annie, would you assist me in helping Eren escape?"
"Our spy in the Survey Corps has positively identified it. Alto Burke has resurfaced once again, and our fear has been confirmed as well. He has the Flare Titan." Gwendal says to Rod Reiss.
"We have a problem."
"What is it?"
"Two days ago, during the 57th Expedition, the Military Police raided my office."
"Wall Rose has been breached!"
"What?!"
"Armin...Do I really look like such a good person to you?"
"I don't really like that term. After all, what is a good person? To me, it seems like you're just labelling someone who is good for you. Good. Evil. The world isn't so black and white it can fit into such simple categories." He pauses, "But if you don't help me…
...then in my eyes, you'll definitely be a bad person."
1. "This is the end...for humanity."
A giant hairy Titan roared as he threw a shower of boulders at the remains of Utgard Castle.
The Flare Titan roared as it grabbed a Titan by the head and slammed it over and over into the ground before crushing the nape.
The Jaw lept off the tower as it raked it's claws against the eyes of a 15 meter titan before springboarding and biting into the nape of a 13 meter.
"By the way, that background report on Annie Leonhart came through, and three other Cadets came from the same area as her."
"If only...I'd have never met any of you! I would've never become...such a half assed piece of shit!"
"Are we doing this?! Right here?! Now?!"
"I'm glad I met you...Ambros. But at the end of the day...all we had was a beautiful dream."
1. Three strikes of lighting struck the wall as the Warhammer, Armored, and Colossal Titans appeared on top of Wall Rose.
The Female Titan materialized as lightning flashed around it creating a massive explosion of energy and light.
"Mina...my real name...is-"
"-Hstoria Reiss."
Ambros slashed through the nape of a Titan before zipping up to the top of the tower, "Shit! I'm out of gas!"
The Beast Titan roared, and the Titans attacked Utgard with renewed vigor.
"Incoming!" Rocks showered Wall Rose.
An MP was crushed as the Female Titan fell on a building.
Mikasa charged at her former comrade and plunged a blade through his neck.
"Eren! Run away!"
Sunlight reflects off a pair of glasses. "So you've finally shown yourself..." 1x
Coming June 13th, 2021
A/N: We've finally hit that point. I've been waiting to do this Arc since...well pretty much since I began writing this story!
What makes this arc different from previous is that it is actually two-arcs combined into one. The first half of Clash of the Titans (AKA the Breach of Wall Rose to the Armored and Colossal Reveal) and the Stohess Arc (The Female Titan Reveal). Meaning that I'll be revealing EVERY shifter in this story. Including who the Warhammer is, (though if you've read the manga and/or seen S4 you probably know who it is. if you don't, you'll have to wait a few chapters!).
Another thing is that since it's Two-Arcs in one, I'm going to be switching between them. Meaning that a narrative scene from Stohess will be followed by one from Clash of The Titans.
Another thing, Traitors Arc chapters are going to be, ALOT longer. Like, each one is a 10-page google doc.
Sadly Gaujays advice came a little to late, so the first two chapters (since they're already pre-written,) are going to seem to simply be novelizations of the anime, with an original scene here and there. I'll try to diverge more and not use the anime as a safety net in later chapters.
The final thing is that this Arc and the next arc (AKA the second part of Clash of the Titans) sets up the stage for the Civil War Arc, which will be VASTLY different from the canon Uprising/Royal Government Arc. All I'm going to say, because I don't want to spoil that far.
Until next week!
