Ch.5 The B.O.T. Trost in Twilight & the Chosen Hero's Awakening

"Talking"
'Thinking'
"Dream Talking"
'Dream Thinking'
"Light Spirit Talking"
"Midna Talking"

Inside of the OMD gas storage three trainees tries to stop Captain Weilman and his three Garrison officers from leaving "Please wait, Captain! Should the Titans attack, we supply soldiers won't be able to hold this position on our own!" The first male Trainee stated while the only female of the three also steps in begging and pleading for Weilman to listen to reason. "Please, Sir! You have to stay here!" Captain Weilman didn't listen at to what they have to say at all "Step aside. I must reorganize the reinforcements now." The second boy knew what the Captain meant and it made him feel outrages "Behind the safety of the inner gate, you mean?" He was going to leave them here to die! Weilman didn't like what he heard "What the hell are you trying to say? I'll have you know I'm following regulations! Obeying established regulations is a soldier's duty!" The girl soldier cries "B-But, Sir! If we lose this position!" "Enough of your talk!" Weilman barked at her as he pointed his blade at the girl threatening to kill her "Open your mouth again and I'll be forced to punish you for treason where you stand!"

(Back to Mikasa)

As Mikasa swings from one building to another, she start to notice that none of her fellow trainees were moving they were only standing around on the rooftops. Talking to one another or looking out for any Titans near by. 'Why isn't anyone going over the wall? I'm sure they heard the bell signaling us to withdraw.' Looking all around her she saw something horrible, up on the hill where the ODM gas supply equipment's are held at. Are overrun by Titans and some kind of black horrid monsters. And the cherry on top, the skies are turning dark and not the night time kind of dark. A shadow likeness of darkness.

(At the Supply House)

A girl peeks over the makeshift barricade looking out the window and a Titan peers into the same window with a wide eyes at her. "It's all over. We're done for..." an exploding sound erupted down on ground leave making everyone even more terrified "There!" a female trainer was curious at what her comrade has in mind "What good is that going to do?" He didn't reply, how can he when he has the barrel of the buckshot rifle in his mouth. He pulls the trigger BANG! blood, brain particles and pieces of his skull went flying through the air, some landed on the walls of the barricade while most landed on the faces of his comrades. With everyone screaming no one saw the sky turning dark.

(With Armin, Jean, Connie, Marco, Sasha, Annie, Berthold and Reiner)

Some of the Trainees that where with Armin and the others were the only people besides Mikasa who saw the change in the sky. "What's going on?!" "Why's the sky turning dark?" Connie turns to Jean for any helpful encouraging thoughts or advise any ideas at all "C'mon, Jean! What are we gonna do?!" "Ain't anything we can do." Jean sat on the rooftop edge with his hand resting against his head in distress "They finally gave the order to withdraw, but we don't have enough gas to scale the wall. We're all gonna die now. All 'cause of those cowards."

Connie then question and yelled "You mean the supply soldiers?! What's happened to them?! Were they wiped out?!" "Apparently they lost the will to fight." Jean stated what he believed has happened, as he continues to think of what the supply team is going though at the moment "I can understand the feeling, but abandoning their duty to supply us so they can barricade themselves inside Headquarters? And sure enough, Titans have swarmed the place along with those black monster things, meaning we can't even get gas for ourselves."

"In that case, it's sink or swim! We'll just have to take out those Black things and the Titans there! Hanging around here's no different! The Titans and the Black things will just gather here too! We'll only use up what little gas we have left if we keep running aimlessly! Once we lose our mobility, we're really done for!" Connie stated the knowledge facts to everyone which really bomb bonkers them to hear that coming from one of the most nonintelligent person in their academy year. "You're actually using your head for once, Conny."

"But do you really think we have the manpower to pull that off? Most of the veteran members of the vanguard have been wiped out." Jean's words really struck every cadet down as if they were lumber being chopped down by loggers "We're just cadets; who can possibly take charge of a suicide mission like that? Even if someone could, it's not like we'd stand a chance against the Titans anyway or those black things. And the supply room's probably got some that are three or four meters high. There's no way we could get anything done in there." Connie manages to mutter out the words in helplessness "It's hopeless?" "What a dull life this was." Jean cradle his head in sheer hopelessness "If I'd known this would happen, I would've said something sooner."

Sasha tries to stay positive "Come on, guys! Let's do it! Get up! If we all work together, we're sure to succeed! I'll take the lead! Armin! Let's go!" Armin was still in shock at how fast everything is moving, seeing no reply from the smartest person in the group Sasha sighs in defeat. Annie turns her attention to Reiner and whispers "Reiner. What now?" The situation has changed drastically for everyone. With day turning into night so fast and new monsters appearing nothing is making any sense. "Not yet. We have to let them gather first." Even the positive Marco fell into depression of defeat "It's no use However you look at it, we're not getting out of this city. We're all dead. I mean, I'm ready to die and everything. It's just, what am I dying for?"

That's when everyone heard the wire swings from an ODM gear, turning their heads to see the number one cadet in the top 10 104th training academy "Mikasa!" Sasha cry out in surprise while another trainee cries out "Weren't you with the rearguard?!" Mikasa only just ignore them and the intensity around the area as she made her way to Leonhart "Annie! I understand the gist of the situation. So I'm sorry for letting my personal matters interfere but have you seen Eren's squad?" Annie replies calmly as if Mikasa's obsession didn't bother her, While the other cadets whispers to themselves in the back "I thought it was called Dusk's squad?" "Be quiet! or she'll haunt us!" Annie also ignore them as she said to Mikasa "I haven't, but some squads did make it over the wall." Reiner though cuts in as jabs his thumb back at the 'Soul survivor' in Dusk/Link's squad. "Actually, we did find Armin over there." "Armin!" The said boy jolted in fright and start panicking for the incident with his squad 'Mikasa No! I can't bring myself to face her! All I did was survive for no good reason If I'd known this would happen I would rather have died with him then instead!' Mikasa made her way to her friend and ask the most important questions of her life "Armin. You're not hurt, are you? Are you all right? Where's Eren? Armin?"

Armin grinds his teeth as he cries out "We The cadets of Squad 34 Thomas Wagner Nack Tierce Milieus Zeremski Mina Carolina Eren Jaeger Dusk Faron. These six members fulfilled their duties and died valiantly on the field of battle!"... Silence... Nothing but silence from the 104th cadets the only sound that can be heard is from the Titan's and the Black monster's foot steps. "You can't be serious." Sasha breathes out "So Squad 34 is basically gone." One of the Cadets in the back said "The same thing will happen to us if we try to take the Black monsters and the Titans on." Said the other Trainee "I'm sorry, Mikasa It should've been me, not Eren. I wasn't able to do anything! I'm sorry." Mikasa was about to calm Armin down, when a voice stops her. "I'm not buying it." Everyone turns over to Jean in surprise this is clearly out of his character "Jean?" Marco question, but Jean continues "I know Dusk couldn't go off dying that easy, Armin are you really sure that you saw Dusk and Eren die?" Armin tries to recall the event but was cut off by a couple of solders standing by "Hey wait, what about Dawn?" Everyone else quickly recalls that Dawn was also with Mikasa group "That's right, wasn't she with your squad?" "Yeah, what happened to her?"

Mikasa just quickly answer the questions "She went over to where that explosion went off." She said it as if it wasn't a big deal about it and just brush it off for not being important. Many of the cadets want to yell at her and say "What the hell is your problem!?" or "What's with you!?" but none of them wants to feel her wrath, so they wisely say something else. "What! By herself!?" Connie yelled "That's completely Insane!" Berthold cries out "She can't just go right into danger explosions!" Sasha also yells out, then Marco said "I just had a thought, if Eren and Dusk did survived they most likely went to that explosion as well and met up with Dawn."

Everyone seem to calm down a bit, it's possible that Armin just went into shock and didn't fully grasp what actually happened during the attack. While Mikasa gets Armin back up on his feet, she addresses her attention to Marco "Marco. If we eliminate the Titans and the Black monsters swarming around HQ, we can replenish our gas supplies and get over the wall. Correct?" Taken back at her question he replies "Well, yeah. But even with your help, there's just too many" She didn't need to hear how large numbers of Titans and Black monsters are, it was just a simple yes or no question. "I can handle them." Everyone just look at her as if she's gone mad, which could be possibly true, "I'm strong. Stronger than all of you. I'm very strong. As such, I am capable of annihilating the Titans there! Even if I have to go it for all of you, you're not only unskilled, you're also cowards and wimps. You're a real disappointment. You can just stay here and twiddle your thumbs. Twiddle and watch."

This isn't the Mikasa everyone knew, this is entirely different Mikasa "Whoa, Mikasa! What's gotten into you?!" "You're seriously gonna take on all those Titans by yourself?! There's no way you can beat them!" Mikasa only reply was "If I can't, then I'll die. It's that simple. But If I win, I'll live. And the only way to win is to fight!" As she went off killing any Titans and monsters that where in her way "Hey! Your way with words is the real disappointment. You actually considered that motivational?!" Jean gets his blades ready as he cries out into the sky "I blame you for this, Eren!" at the same time a wolf howled in the distance "What? A wolf howl?" Connie asked "How can their be a wolf out here!?" Sasha didn't seem to be bothered about it, because it didn't sound like it was out hunting, it sounded more like... a battle cry or something?

Jean whorls around and face his fellow cadet graduates with a glare, "Hey! Since when were we taught to let our comrades fight alone?! Or do you guys want to end up as actual cowards?!" as he yells at them before taking off, "Never thought I'd hear him say that." Reiner commented before he, Berthold and Annie fallow after him with Marco in towed. "Come on, you cowards, weaklings, and morons!" Sasha yells as she and Armin goes after them "Those guys... Damn it. All right, let's do it!" Soon the other straggling cadets and Connie went after them, as they tried to keep up with Mikasa who was cutting down 15 meter Titans ahead. Jean cries out an order to his comrades "Hurry! Follow Mikasa! Fight as little as possible! Get to HQ before you run out of gas!" Connie couldn't help but to be impress at Mikasa's skills "Man, Mikasa's incredible How can she move so fast?!"

Armin look up at Mikasa and see that she's blinded by her emotions and is not thinking straight. 'No! She's using up too much gas! She's going to run out right away! Regardless of our skill, once we lose our mobility we're completely helpless! She's not her usual, composed self at all! She's trying to distract herself from her anguish! It's only a matter of time until she!' It was too late she ran out of gas.

"Mikasa!" Armin went after her "Damn! Jean! You take the lead! I'll help Armin!" Connie said to Jean didn't want Armin and Connie to be left behind "No, I will too!" Connie wouldn't let that happen "Don't be stupid! There are still Titans everywhere! Your skills are needed!"

Jean and everyone else continues to move forward towards headquarters 'It's no use. We can't even get near Headquarters. Unless we're prepared to die.' As Jean train of thoughts ran, he notice alone cadet on the streets surrounded by three Black monsters "Crap! He's out of gas!" "Stay back!" The young man cried out. "Tom! I'll save you!" The girl cried out as she and another boy ran towards their friend Tom. "No! It's too late! Stop!" Jean calls out to them, but as the two friends got closer they don't see three Black monsters, but FOUR Black monsters. Jean, Sasha, Annie, Reiner, Berthold and the rest of the group look down at the Black monsters in shock. These things are nothing like the Titans at all 'Why couldn't I stop them? Why didn't I stop them? If I'd made them stop, this wouldn't have happened. Am I really cut out for this? Am I really fit to have a position of responsibility?!' The now four Black monsters made their way to Tom's two friends as they cry for their lives "No!" "I don't want to die!"

As if there was a god or an angel has heard their prayers, The Black monsters snap upward then fell down on the ground and exploded into multiple black shards that went straight up into the sky. Creating some kind of flat black squared diamond with a light blue-ish green color spiral. Leaving everyone dumbfound "Ugh, what the heck just happened?" The girl and the boy looked around them "Were we... saved by someone?" This day is just getting more weirder and creepier with each passing second.

(Back to Mikasa)

As Mikasa fell she started to recall everything that has happened in her life, with two Titans closing in on her. The lost of her first family and the second family, believing that she has to live like this in this cruel and beautiful world. With the 15 meter Titan on her right tries to get her, Mikasa suddenly moves away. She wants to die, but what's stopping her? Of course! The answer was Eren. If she dies now then she'll never have her memories of him, that's the answer! 'So I'll do whatever it takes to win! Whatever it takes to live!'

Just as Mikasa ready herself to fight back the monsters before her, the ground suddenly shakes and she felt a strong gush of wind pushing her off the ground then skidded on the land down. Looking up at who was the cause of it was a 15 meter Titan with brown blond hair, green eyes and a mid-well strong mussel body. But what caught her attention was it's long pointed ears.

The number one top best cadet just stood there processing on what just happened, with a look of fright on her face. The Titan then let out a huge roar making the girl wince in pain for her sensitive ears. Looking up again, Mikasa saw something that made her stare in utter confusion and awe. The Titan that she was going to fight off was down and the long pointed ear Titan... was stomping on it's neck where the weak point is!

'A Titan is killing another Titan!?' A familiar voice snaps her back to the present "Mikasa!" and is swept off of her feet by Armin as they landed safely on the roofs "Mikasa! Are you all right?!" Connie then joins up with them "You two okay?!" Armin quickly replies "Yeah!" "We gotta get out of here!" Said Connie, but then notice the two monsters in their way. "Crap! Two 15-meter ones!" But Mikasa stops them "No, that Titan is..." and what happened next left the three cadets stunned. The Titan Mikasa was referring to got into a offence stance it's arms blocking it's chest protectively as the other 15 meter Titan charges at it, only to be smash in the face by a left hook "Huh?!" It's head went flying into the air until it crashes into a tower window, as the remains of the Titan tries to get back up the Rouge Titan slammed it's foot down on it's weak point. "I-It finished it off?! It was actually aware of its weak spot?!"

Connie "We gotta get out of here! Before it comes this way!" Armin then notice something that he did not saw it before "No, it's not reacting to us. Any other one would attack us for sure." Mikasa also notice something as well "It seemed to grasp the concept of hand-to-hand combat too." Connie couldn't take much more of this, this entire day has just been crazy and he just want's it to be over. "Just what is it? All we can do is chalk it up as an Abnormal! We barely know anything about 'em, after all. Now let's just hurry to HQ!" Armin stops him though "Wait! Mikasa's completely out of gas!" Connie whip over at Mikasa "Huh?! Whoa, are you serious?! Now what are we gonna do?! We need you!"

Armin knew what he had to do "The answer's obvious!" he then remove his gear off of him and hands them over to Mikasa "I don't have much left but hurry and switch yours with mine!" Mikasa was appalled at her friend's idea "Armin!" The said boy agues back "This is our only option! It'll amount to nothing if I keep it. Just Use it carefully this time. Everyone's lives are riding on it." Mikasa was grinding her teeth, she massed up once and look at what happened she nearly got herself killed and most likely everyone else that was with them too. Armin then finishes the repairs "I'm There! Your mobility gear still works, and I've given you all my blades. All I ask is that you leave me with this one I'd rather not get eaten alive, if I can help it." Mikasa then did something that was either very loyal or just plain stupid when Armin handed her his swords, she through them away. Leaving him and Connie gapping at her action "No way Armin. I'm not leaving you here." "B-But the place is swarming with Titans; you can't possibly carry someone while jumping." Connie grab him by the arm "Let's go!"

Armin rapidly thought of a wild idea. "Wait! Listen! I have a suggestion!" "A suggestion?" "Only you two can do it, so I leave the choice to you I know it sounds crazy, but could we use that Titan to our advantage?" The bald one in the group pointed towards the strange Titan "That Titan?!" "It attacks other Titans and doesn't show any interest in us. So I'm wondering if we could lead it to the supply building If it takes out the other Titans for us, we just might all survive!" "Lead it?! How do you hope to lead that thing?!" Armin quickly explains his theory "My guess is it's fighting on instinct. If you two take out the Titans around it, it'll go and look for other Titans. That'll naturally lead it toward Headquarters." The idea was completely skeptical to Connie "W-We can't risk our necks for some hopeful guess!" but Armin added "But if it works, we could eliminate all the Titans attacking HQ in one fell swoop!" Mikasa thought it's a good strategy "It seems worth trying."

"Are you serious?!" Connie couldn't believe Mikasa right now, "It's better to take a gamble than wait for our inevitable deaths." Mikasa agrees with Armin "Let's go with Armin's suggestion." Connie just looks at the two as if they had lost their minds "You want us to fight Titans with a Titan?!" Armin holds his ground "Yes. I do." Connie "If we fail, we'll be laughingstocks." But if we succeed, everyone survives. It all comes down to resolve." Connie finally gives in "All right! Fine!" And they took off with the Rouge Titan fallowing close behind them while killing any Titan in it's way Unknown to any of them, The Rouge Titan's roars sounded as if he was trying to communicate with them. Only in a different tongue.

(Back with Jean and the Rest of the stragglers)

'Am I really cut out for this? Am I really fit to have a position of responsibility? No! No now is the time.' Jean thought long and hard, after getting the two people off the streets and seeing that their were less Black monsters around. Jean gave out his next order "Now is our chance, while the Titans are preoccupied over there! Now! Make for HQ while we have the chance! Now is our only chance! If we run out of gas, it's all over anyway! Everyone, charge!" He, Marco and Sasha where the first to make a break for it fallowed by Annie, Berthold and Reiner.

"Jean!" His best friend yells out to him "Huh?" Marco gives him his gratitude "Thanks! You helped us get away!" "Huh?!" That comment took him by surprise "It's all thanks to you! It's like I said before! You make a good leader!" Jean slightly grins and replies "I'm not so sure about that!" The supply tower was just only a few more feet away they need to make this long jump into the windows and they'll be safe, for the time being. A fellow cadet wasn't lucking when a Titan snagged him like a piece of candy. "Damn!"Angling their bodies to protect themselves on the impact, the windows shattered into millions of pieces. Jean looks around seeing who has made it, and who hasn't. 'How many made it? How many comrades' deaths did I use?! How many people died because of my orders?' The very thought nearly traumatizes him if he hadn't notice a cadet crouch down in hiding underneath the desk. "You're with the supply team, aren't you?" The young trainee replies "Yeah." only to be pulled out by Jean who then punches him onto the floor "Stop, Jean!" Marco tries to stop him, but Jean glares back at him "These are the ones who abandoned us! People are dead because of you guys!" The Female who was with the man Jean punched cries as she tries to explain "The Titans overran the supply room! There was nothing we could do!" That's a pitiful excuse and it only pisses off Jean even more "It's your job to deal with it anyway!" many of the supply team were tearing up and letting out sobs, everything seems so quiet. Until a soft whistling sound rang through the air, and it was getting louder. "Hit the deck!" Reiner yells.

A chunk of the Tower castle went flying across the room reveling a face of a Titan smiling at them in a creepy 'I found you~.' kind of way. "Crap! There are too many people!" Jean curse this situation, as every supply team member and everyone who was with Jean starts running away in fear. They were yelling and shouting "Hurry!" "Get further inside!" "Stop!" "We can't all go at once!" "Where'd Mikasa go?!" "She ran out of gas!" "She's long gone by now!" "What about Dusk!? Or Dawn?!" "They've gone MIA!?" Jean just only stand still staring at the now two Titans peering through the hole. 'This is normal This must be what the real world is like Was I trying to delude myself up until now? Surely I knew what the real world was like It's so obvious when you think about it There's no way we stand a chance against these monstrosities' Hope was leaving them, so making their way here through all of the titans... It was all for nothing. It really is the end, two Titans eyeing him, one looking happy and the other was looking like it's face getting punch by a giant fist... wait "What?!"

Jean felt the wind from that punch as the two Titans fell down, fallowed by a roaring growling sound. Blinking once then twice, Jean saw who was their savior is... A 15-meter brown-blond hair, green eyes, long pointed eared mid-mussel body Titan. *Crash!* "What the hell?" another window was shattered, right in front of him Jean sees that it was Mikasa, Connie and Armin who made it back. "Mikasa!"

Connie knock on his canister grinning happily, couldn't believe their luck. "Man, that was close. It's completely empty. We did it! We managed to make it!" Jean who is lost for words, was gapping like a fish. "Wh-Whoa, you're alive!" Connie turns to Armin "We did it, Armin!" and slaps him a bit hard and close to his shoulders "O-Ouch!" "Your plan worked!" Connie gets up and points to the long eared Titan fighting other Titans "Guys! That Titan's an Abnormal! It's killin' all the other Titans! And it has no interest in us! We can use it to our advantage to escape from here!"

The supply team in the back thought outload from "Use a Titan?!" to "A Titan, helping us?!" Jean however thinks that this is just a dream "What kind of nonsensical dream-" Then Mikasa breaks that dream "It's no dream. Whether it's an Abnormal or not, I don't care. We're going to let it rampage here for as long as possible. Because, realistically, that's our best strategy for survival now."

They continue to watch the Titan's attack on the other Titans, throwing a 16 or 17 meter Titan onto the smaller ones and kicking them out of it's way. "It's okay. That Titan's tougher than ordinary ones. I doubt they'll take down this building while that one's rampaging like crazy." Connie reassures everyone who wasn't with him, Armin and Mikasa when they first saw the Titan. As if it prove Connie's point the Rouge Titan turn it's head at the ground and growled at it's foes. If they stayed even longer they would see the Rouge Titan killed one of the Black Monsters while the remaining two drop dead like before, and that the Rouge Titan was calling them away from headquarters.

Everyone made their way to the lift planning a strategy to take back the gas supplies. Reiner then ask Connie "How much do you know about that Titan?" The shave headed teen looks down and said "We can worry about that after we're safe." Reiner understands what he meant "Yeah. Let's survive first." Jean calls out "We found something!" He and four other trainees were carrying long creates "They belong to the Military Police! Damn things are all covered in dust." Opening the creates to see there were three to four Buckshot guns still in good use that can take up three bullets in just one trigger, Jean turns to Armin "Are you sure buckshot is what we want to use?! I mean, seriously Will guns even work against Titans?" who then replies "They're far better than nothing."

He then explains the lay out of his plan "If there are still seven Titans in the supply room that are three or four meters tall, this much firepower should be capable of blinding them all simultaneously. First, we'll use the lift to lower a group of people from the center ceiling. They'll then simultaneously fire at the faces of each of the seven Titans, thereby blinding them. Then comes the moment of truth Seven people hiding up top will strike the Titans' vitals just after the guns fire. In other words, this plan will put everything on the line everyone's lives on the line for a single attack. Seven people will have to slay seven Titans at the same time in a single blow. It'll be up to the seven most physically fit and adept soldiers we have here."

Armin cast his eyes down in sorrow and shame "So, umm, I'm sorry for placing everyone's lives on your shoulders." Reiner though doesn't mind what would happen saying that "It's no problem." Annie throws in on what she has to say "If we fail, we die. The risk's the same regardless of who goes." Armin still wasn't confident with his idea and that'll backfired on them. "Still, is this shabby idea of mine really our best strategy?" Marco gives him his best optimistic choice of words "We got no other choice. We're out of time and options. All we can do now is give it our all!" and Mikasa reassures him believing that everything will go according to plan "It'll be fine. Be confident. You have a knack for figuring out correct solutions." Armin looks up at Mikasa "Huh?" She continues "You even used it to save my life and Eren's life before." That only just left him confused "It did? When?"

Jean took the opportunity to interrupt the two friends "The lift's ready!" The guns too! They're all loaded!" Mikasa gets up and starts walking to her position "You just don't realize it. We can talk about it later." Armin just nodded his head "Yeah." Connie "Still, can we really take out all the Titans and those Black Creatures without our ODM gear?" Reiner "Of course we can! These Titans are only three or four meters tall. Targeting their vitals will be a cinch." Jean "Yeah. Regardless of size, their vitals go from the head to the nape of the neck." Sasha "One meter high and ten centimeters across!" Reiner being a dickhead that he is said "You can also shove one of these up their asses! Those are their only two weak spots!" Connie and Sasha actually believed him and said "I never knew about that one!" "This is the first I've heard of it, too." Jean just couldn't believe how the brotherly person of the group can be such an ass. "Reiner. Those could end up being your last words, you know."

Everyone is in place, the guns are loaded, the lift was only a couple feet off from the ground. Marco examines the room "Good. Their numbers haven't increased. Proceeding with operation!" he orders one of the Titans turn it's attention to them, as one of the Supply team member freaks out almost ruining the plain. "Stay clam! We need to lure them all the way in!"

Armin who was next to Marco looks around and notice that none of those black monsters never made inside 'This doesn't make any sense, shouldn't those black creatures be in here as well?' He wasn't the only one think that, Mikasa, Reiner, Berthold, Annie, Sasha, Connie and Jean where thinking along the same lines also. 'Avoid a disadvantageous fight.' 'If you don't want anyone to die.' 'Then make this attack count!' Reiner, Bertholt and Jean thought as they began to ready themselves.

"Steady." They were only ten feet away "Ready." it was now a foot away "Fire!" shoots rang throughout the room the Titans now blinded, as the seven cadets takes on their foes, and ending their existence. Only to find two of the seven Titans are still standing, Sasha panickily mutters in a quiet voice and then yells out a cry of an apology "U-Umm - I'm sorry for suddenly sneaking up and I'm very sorry!" Connie was back into a corner, literally. "C-Crap!"

Jean widen his eyes in shock "Sasha and Connie missed!" Berthold yells out "Hurry! Lend them backup!" Sasha tries to apologies again "I'm umm I'm very sorry!" Just as the Titan launched forward towards Sasha, Mikasa cut down the Titan before it could ever take a bite out of her, same goes for Connie for it was Annie that saved him "Mikasa! You saved me!" Sasha praise her in overwhelming joy on her knees "Are you all right?" Mikasa asked Sasha who replies with tears "Thanks to you!" but Mikasa cuts her off in a cold blunted tone "Then get up."

"I owe you one." Connie thanks Annie for saving his life, as she replies "No problem." Reiner comes up to her relieving that she wasn't injured "Oh, man. That was a close call, Annie. I'm really glad you didn't end up hurt." Jean yells up to the team on the lift "They've all been slain! Switch to resupply work!" Armin sighed with overwhelming joy "We did it!" While a few of the members nearly fainted one of those members was Marco. Everyone cheered "All right!" "We're gonna survive!" "And no more Titans are coming inside!" "All thanks to that berserk Titan out there!" Sasha was the only one wallowing in self-pity "I caved in to that Titan I'm too ashamed to face the others!" Connie steps in and shouts at her "There's plenty of time to sneer at you later! For now, we gotta escape!"

Marco and Jean sat next to each other refilling their canisters, without taking his eyes off jean said "I can't see myself as much of a leader." but Marco disagrees "Don't talk like that anymore. I don't mean any offense by this, but I think the fact you aren't strong really lets you understand how the weak feel. And your skill at recognizing a situation as it unfolds gives you a clear grasp of what needs to be done now, you know? You made the right call. It's what got me moving. It's why I'm alive now."

"Everyone ready?! It's time to scram!" "Let's move!" "Scale the wall!" "Rendezvous with the main forces!" Mikasa?! Mikasa! We have to get out of here!" Mikasa points at their savior "That Titan!" What Armin saw before him have left him almost speechless. There pinned against the buildings by three Titans was the Rouge Titan being eaten alive "They're cannibalizing it?!" The Rouge Titan gave a low rumbling sound, sounding like it's in pain or a call for help.

"I guess it can't regenerate its body?" Armin thought "I thought that if we could somehow figure out what's up with that Titan, it could've helped us break free from this hopeless situation." Said Mikasa"I agree." Said Reiner who walks over to them along with Berthold, Annie and Jean "We'll learn nothing at all if it ends up getting eaten! For now, we have to get rid of the ones clinging to it and help keep it alive!" Jean look at Reiner as if he's lost it, "Are you insane, Reiner?! We can finally get our asses out of here!" but Annie stated "And what if there's a chance that Titan could become our ally? It'd be a more powerful weapon than any cannon, wouldn't you agree?" Now Annie too! what's with them! Jean wasn't believing any of this "Ally? Are you actually serious?!" Armin then saw a way too familiar Abnormal Titan walking over to the Rouge Titan "That one! That's the Abnormal that ate Thomas!"

As if those were the magic words, the Rouge Titan pushes itself away from the Titan's grasp even though it caused it's arms to be suppurated from it's body, but that's not going to slow it down. Using it's teeth, the Rouge Titan snag the Abnormal by the back of it's neck and swing it over to the three titans. Instantly killing them, for the time being. The Rouge Titan looks over at one of the buildings and the underground spring before collapsing from exhaustion.

"What was it you wanted to save again?" Jean question them as they see the Rouge Titan collapsed on the ground "Looks like it's finished for good." Jean straightens his back and started to leave "All right, that's enough! Let's get going! As if-" His words were cut off when the Shadowing clouds and black rectangular squares floating around the area started to disappear, bringing in the natural sun light of day back in it's rightful glowing place in the sky. "What the hell just happened?" That was when they FINALLY notice the giant hole filled with pools of water in the ground "How the heck did we not see that!?" "Is this the result of the explosion?" Armin and Mikasa moves in closer to the trench "Hey! Wait!" Jean cries as he, Reiner, Annie and Berthold fallowed after them. As they got closer they could hear a soft yet strong prideful voice. "The Vessel of Light is full of tears, and light has returned to this area!" fallowed by another strange voice "The Twilight was so nice, why couldn't it stay out longer? Eee hee eee! See you later!"

Upon farther inspection at the giant hole in the ground where the underground Spring lay hidden for who knows how long, The Rouge Titan's nape shifted as a body emerged out of the Titan's body. Fallowed by the spring's water shining so brightly, a sound of a water drop, a huge orb of light and one huge majestic stag floating above the pool of water. Berthold pointed at the Light Spirit in fright "What is that thing!" Mikasa draw out her blades again "Whatever it is, I'll kill it." Thankfully Armin stop her "Mikasa!" Sensing the distress of fear, the Spirit of Light spoke, "Do not be afraid, for I am a Spirit of Light to this Spring. My name is *Hoffe. I am one of few Light Spirits that dwells in this forgotten land. By orders from the Gods, I am to protect this land." Armin, Jean, Mikasa, Annie, Reiner and Berthold were in shock and awe at this being before them. "A... Light Spirit?" Jean asked.

The Spirit of Light, Hoffe, nodded his head towards Jean's question."Yes, young soldier." The Spirit turns it's attention to the person in front of the remains of the Rouge Titan "O brave youth... In the land covered in twilight, where people roam as spirits, you were transform into a green-eyed beast... That was a sign..." A sign? who is he/her/it, ugh. The deer thing talking to?! And what did it mean 'People roam as spirits'!?"It was a sign that the powers of the chosen one rest within you... and that they are awakening. Look at your awakened form."

When the light died down, the six cadets saw who was the one Hoffe was addressing to, "It's Eren! But He was swallowed by a Titan back then. Back then." 'Could he not have been eaten?' Armin thought "How is this possible?" Jean asked Annie then said "I guess it's possible that he didn't get eaten?" Jean then replies with another question "Does this mean Eren did all this?" The said boy appears to look like Eren but most of his appearance is different. His boots and pants seems normal, his OMD gear was missing, but what stood out the most was the green tunic he has on. Along with protected arm brace, brown fingerless gloves, matching green colored long cap, a shield with wings of Freedom and three triangles stack on top like card houses and what looks like a double handed sword both strapped behind his back, and a few pouches and bags hanging off his right and left side of his belt.
(Think of the tunic as a combination of Twilight Princess tunic and Hero's Champion blue tunic in a green color.) Even seeing Eren's new getup wasn't the only thing that stood out the most to shock everyone, it was his hair and ears. Eren's hair has always been brown, but now his brown hair has a bit of blond showing through. And his ears they look exactly like the Rouge Titan's, long and pointed!

Mikasa felt devastated. How could she let her beloved one go under such changed. She was about to charge at the Spirit again for cursing her Eren when she felt a hand stopping her, turning to face who ever was holding her back was none other than Dawn with Dusk at her side. "Wait." She said "Do not attack, you'll only cause more tension." Needless to say that everyone was surprise to see them, before Mikasa barks at Dawn for stopping her attack. The Spirit of Light continues where he left off. "The Green Tunic that is you garb once belong to the ancient heroes chosen by the gods... Their power is now yours. Theirs is the true power that slept within you." What Hoffe said next really surprised everyone, Even though Dusk/Link and Dawn/Zelda already heard it before, it is still shockingly astounding.

(Flashback)

"So this King of Evil, Ganondorf, he's the one responsible for sending those black monsters attacking us?" Eren asked "Yes." Link/Dusk replies "We know that he is still in control of some twilight magic, the only problem was is how much he has gain over the past years." Eren put the pieces together, "That's why you and Dawn join the academy, so that you two can build up more strength to fight Ganondorf again." Link/Dusk nodded his head "That's correct." That seems to ease Eren's emotions a bit, but there was one more thing he has to make sure of "All though I want to know, is you name really Link?"

Link/Dusk slightly raise his eyebrow in questionable look, "Yes, it is. Why do you ask?" Eren hesitated for a moment before saying "Because 'Eren' isn't my first name, it's actually my middle name." Link/Dusk was surprise at this information, Eren's been using his middle name instead of his real first name. "I asked that question because... It was a secret that my parents wanted me to keep hidden for my own protection, I didn't understand it at first, but now I'm beginning to know why." Link/Dusk soon to understand as well, "The MPs don't take kindly to anything that is new and unfamiliar to their laws, and could considered them a threat even if it wasn't in the first place." Eren looks Directly into Link's/Dusk's eyes "Dusk, what I'm about to tell you is what my real first is. Not even Armin or Mikasa knows about it, my full name is..."

(Flashback Over)

"Your name is Link Eren Yeager. You are the Hero Chosen by the Gods."

So Jaeger's real name is Link and not Eren. Crazy, huh? oh don't worry your heads off, the truth will come out sooner or later. Sorry that it took so long to update, been looking for work over this summer and was organizing the chapters around.

*Hoffe is German for Hope

I was looking up on native European animals to use as Light Spirits and they were hard to pick which one was suited to be a spirit and can be related to the Attack on Titan series. Deer is the most commend one so I pick that one to be use in the story. All of the Light Spirits will be shown in here. p.s. I do not own Legend of Zelda or Attack on Titan.

Well, see you later. ~Ja ne.
