''Why are you making me do this Hange?'' Jean asks looking down at the section commander of the scouts who looked up from her note pad with a wide smile on her face. ''I need to know everything when it comes to titans and you're a perfect specimen to learn that!'' Hange says loudly to Jean who nods slowly. ''I guess…but why did I need to stand on a single leg and hold my arms out for?'' Jean asks flatly getting Hange's attention from her note book. ''I was mostly testing how well balanced your body is due to its height and weight, unlike most titans you have a more feminine body compared to the rest of titans that have a masculine body usually riddled with deformities ranging from smaller or bigger heads to misshaped limbs.'' Hange explains to Jean who nods understanding where she was coming from having seen plenty of titans in her time and confirming they all had very masculine bodies.

''How come I'm not like the rest of my kind? I don't have any deformities and unlike all titans I can speak and have intelligence.'' Jean asks making Hange pause and adapt a thinking pose for a moment. ''I honestly don't know Jean, from what we can tell you just happened to be an extremely lucky abnormal titan.'' Hange says looking up at Jean whose face falls into a frown. ''I see…'' Jean sighs out sadly before getting back into the routine of hange's tests. ''The next test is to see how your intelligence is.'' Hange explains to Jean as a cart is pulled by horses loaded with logs of wood and rope making Jean raise a brow. ''For this test Jean I want you to construct the foundations of a cabin.'' Hange explains to Jean who hums for a moment, the sound coming out like she was gargling, before grabbing the wood and rope and getting to work.

''She works fast.'' Hange comments aloud writing down her observations a she watched Jean construct the cabin foundation carefully with her unarmored hand, even tying the rope to hold the building together with only the unarmored hand. ''I assume you can't do tasks like these due to your armored hand being too bulky?'' Hange asks stopping Jean mid her construction. '' Correct, I can't, my armored hand is stronger than my normal one due to the extra weight and it's hard to hold small objects in it because it's too bulky like you said.'' Jean explains to Hange who nods with a hum and writes what Jean had said down. ''Alright, continue.'' Hange says prompting Jean to continue constructing the cabin foundation.

''Hm, this thing's structurally sound, it'd put most of our builders to shame, have you ever done this before Jean?'' Hange asks prompting Jean to nod. ''When did you start?'' Hange asks curiously while looking up at Jean. ''Before I was a titan.'' Jean says causing the world around them to stand still at the shocking news. ''B-before…?'' Hange asks in shock prompting Jean to nod oblivious that the scouts and Garrison corp watching were in shock at the news. ''W-when was this?'' Hange asks making Jean pause for a moment and tap her since a few times with an unarmored finger. ''When I was eighteen, ten years ago is when I started to learn about construction, so nine years before I became a titan I believe.'' Jean explains to Hange who frantically writes down the information. ''Where did you come from Jean?'' Hange asks hesitantly getting a raised brow from Jean. ''I'd prefer not to say…'' Jean says causing Hange to frown before nodding seeing the look of sadness in Jean's eye and knowing instinctively Jean's home was no more.

''I believe this proves a theory I've been brewing up inside my mind!'' Hange says snapping Jean from her depressed throughs. ''You have a theory about me?'' Jean asks in uncertainty and watches as Hange nods several times causing her glasses to come out of place. ''I do! I believe that you are just like Eren Yeager, a human that can control a titan body and if I'm correct you'll be residing somewhere inside your nape!'' Hange says getting another hum from Jean thinking it over for several seconds in her head. ''What does it mean if I am a human that can control a titan body?'' Jean asks Hange curiously. ''It means that you have a chance of not being dissected and experimented on by the Military police when your and Eren's trial rolls around in two days.'' Hange explains to Jean who nods slowly. ''I see, if I'm discovered a human that can control a titan body I'd be more trustworthy than just being a titan due to our kinds long history.'' Jean summarizes prompting Hange to nod. ''Correct!'' Hange says confirming Jean's thoughts.

''What do you need to do to confirm this?'' Jean asks causing Hange to chuckle nervously and start to scratch the back of her head nervously getting a suspicious look from Jean. ''To see if you have a human body I'd need to cut open your nape and pull you out, if I'm wrong this could possibly kill you.'' Hange says before 'laughing' nervously getting a flat look from Jean who could tell it was a fake laugh easily. ''If I don't do it I'll just be handed over to the military police anyways so I may as well.'' Jean says causing Hange to jump into the air in join and fist pump. ''I'll need you to tear off the armor around your nape for me.'' Hange says prompting Jean to hum and use her armored hand to pull off at the armored plates and snapping them off while Hange runs around Jean before using her gear to attach to Jean's nape and reach the weak spot in moments.

''You best be right Hange or I'll hunt you for the rest of your existence.'' Jean says to the woman who chuckles nervously. ''Ha-ha…I know.'' Hange says as she draws her flesh cutting blades from there holsters while reattaching the hook on either side of Jean's nape for better stability. ''I'm going to cut now!'' Hange warns Jean who hums again and nods prompting Hange to drive her blades into Jean's nape causing her eyes to widen feeling one blade go through something extremely painful. ''Fuuuuuuuuuuuu…'' Jean groans out painfully as the pain jolts through her body causing her to flinch and twitch several times. ''Oops…'' Hange says nervously while swallowing a looking at Jean who had turned her head and began to glare at Hange. ''S-sorry I didn't mean to stab…what I hit!'' Hange frantically apologizes to Jean who lets out a low growl before turning her head back around.

''Right stabbing directly down is a bad idea…'' Hange mutters aloud to herself while pulling out her blades causing Jean to get out a sigh feeling the pain subside. ''I'll just do a shallow titan kill cut and see if I can spot anything and slowly make my way forward.'' Hange says while looking at the back of Jean's head who nods. ''As long as it doesn't cause pain like that again It's fine.'' Jean says allowing Hange to continue. ''Right this is probably going to hurt.'' Hange says raising her blade before driving them down and cutting off a chunk of Jean's nape making her hiss in pain. ''Nothing so far I need to go deeper.'' Hange says getting a hum from Jean as a form of approval prompting Hange to cut off another chunk exposing the spine. ''Looks like I was wrong…sorry Jean but you're defiantly a titan.'' Hange says making Jean sigh. ''What if I'm not in the nape?'' Jean asks making Hange raise a brow. ''It's…a possibility but if that was the case we'd need to completely dissect you.'' Hange says making Jean frown at the possibility.

''I might have an idea of where I am.'' Jean says looking at Hange who'd made her way back to the ground. ''Where would that be?'' Hange asks curiously and raises a brow as Jean points to her heart. ''I believe I'm located within the heart.'' Jean explains to Hange who mauls if over in her mind for several seconds thinking of the possibility. ''It's worth a shot, even if you're not in the heart you won't be at risk like when we were cutting open the nape.'' Hange explains to Jean who nods lifting her unarmored arm and driving it into her chest, breaking through the bone with ease and letting out an uncomfortable groan of pain as she slithered her hand further in trying to grab at her heart. ''Maybe we should have done this in private…'' Hange says looking bac at the Garrison and Scouts of which most were ether vomiting their guts out or trying to hold it in.

''Cut open the heart when I pull it out.'' Jean says painfully as she wraps her hand around her large heart and pulling with all her strength pulling the heart out of her chest causing her body to instantly go limp and fall forwards and hitting the ground sending a shockwave through the ground and then dropping the heart on the ground. ''Well I think that answers the question…'' Hange says watching as Jean's titan body began to steam and decay. ''Oi Mike where did that heart land?!'' Hange shouts having been stuck on the side where she couldn't see the heart. ''It landed in front of her.'' Mike's voice replies getting a smirk from Hange who runs around Jean's decaying body to find the Garrison and scouts surrounding Jean's heart. ''Don't touch that thing unless you want 3rd degree burns.'' Hange says pulling a curious scouts hand away from touching the heart. ''Why isn't it evaporating...?'' Mike asks turning to Hange making her eyes widen as she inspects the heart to see nothing was happening to it.

''Everyone step back I'm going to open it!'' Hange shouts prompting the crowd of corpsmen to move away allowing Hange to pull a blade from her reserves and use it to slice open the heart and jump back as gallons of blood pore from the still active organ. ''Nasty…'' Mike mutters covering his sensitive nose due to the smell. ''Don't worry Mike it'll evaporate!'' Hange calls back with a goofy smile on her face. ''It better.'' Mike grumbles walking forwards and looking into the heart trying to spot anything. ''I can't see anything…'' Mike says looking from the heart to Hange who was peering in as well. ''Maybe she's deeper in?'' Hange wonders aloud cupping her chin in thought. ''Or she just isn-'' Mike attempts to speak but is interrupted as a hand bursts out of the heart stopping a few inches from Mike's face causing him to jump back. ''Well she's in there alright!'' Hange says in an excited voice as she grabs onto the arm and starts to pull at it.

''Give me a hand!'' Hange shouts through gritted teeth as she struggles to pull out Jean, so far she'd made no progress on her own, hearing the section commander asking for help a handful of scouts including Mike step forwards and begin to help Hange pull at the arm and start cheering as the arm begins to come out. ''Just a little more!'' Hange shouts as Jean is pulled from the organ and with a few more sicken sounds of flesh being torn open the group find themselves on the ground with Jean laying on top of Mike. ''Why the hell is she so heavy?!'' Mike asks no one in particular as he pushes Jean off him and onto her back on the ground exposing her face to the group. ''Why…are those lines running across her skin?'' Hange mutters to herself as she squats beside Jean and runs her finger over Jean's skin causing her eyes to widen. ''Her skins fake…'' Hange mutters with a confused look on her face as she ran her fingers over the fake skin again just to be sure.

''What's going on out here?!'' Hange freezes up hearing a less than pleased commander Dot Pixis shouting prompting her and the other soldiers to stand up and salute as he walked through the gap the crowd had made for him allowing him to see Jean's titan heart and Jean laying on the floor making his brow raise as he looks at Jean's decaying titan body. ''What happened here?'' Pixis asks locking his eyes onto Hange who swallows a lump in her throat. ''S-sir! We have successfully extracted Jean Miles D'Arc from her titan body!'' Hange says stiffly prompting Pixis to look down at Jean again with a look of surprise on his face. ''So she was human?'' Pixis mutters aloud before walking over to Jean and kneeling beside her and placing his fingers to her neck to get a pulse. ''Well she's alive at least, breathing as well, excellent work section commander.'' Pixis says looking up at Hange who blushes slightly at the praise but fights it back down and nods. ''Thank you sir.'' Hange says prompting Pixis to look down at Jean.

''We should get her inside before to many people see this.'' Pixis says before using his arms to scoop up Jean and lift her and make his way towards the medical tents set up by the Garrison followed by Hange and Mike. ''So what give you the hint she was a human inside a titan body?'' Pixis asks looking back at Hange. ''Well, I didn't think of it sir, it was the cadet called Armin who said it was a possibility, and during today's tests Jean mentioned she'd only been a titan a year giving me enough proof to conduct the experiment and it worked.'' Hange explains to Pixis who hums while nodding. ''Although you put one of the hopes of humanity at risk on a hunch you've given her a chance now against the MP's.'' Pixis says laying Jean onto a makeshift bed.

''Sir who are they sending to conduct the trial?'' Hange asks breaking the silence that had begun to linger in the air. ''It's only rumors but from what I've heard its commander and chief Darius Zackly.'' Pixis says causing Mike and Hange to look at one another with worried looks. ''The commander and chief sir? Why would he want to conduct the trial?'' Mike asks curiously making Pixis take his eyes off Jean. ''This is a matter that could ether be the future of humanity or destruction of it, if I was in Darius' position I'd do the same.'' Pixis explains to the two scouts. ''Where is commander Erwin?'' Pixis asks suddenly making Hange jump slightly. ''He's with Eren Yeager with Levi Ackerman conducting their investigation and left me and Mike in charge of Jean sir.'' Hange explains to Pixis who hums taking a seat beside Jean's bed and sighs.

''I have a bad feeling about the future, first Jean here appears as a twenty-five-meter titan and has the ability to climb over the wall and then Eren Yeager appears as a cadet who can turn into a fifteen-meter titan that has little control over himself.'' Pixis thinks aloud with a tired look on his face as he looks down at Jean. ''I doubt this is coincidence, two people with the ability to turn into titans appearing within days of one another, it can't just be coincidence that this happened.'' Mike says getting the attention of Pixis and Hange on him. ''Think about it for a second, a few days ago Jean was spotted inside the wall by a scout and then by several cadets and the instructor one of these cadets was Eren Yeager and then during the battle of Trost Eren Yeager turns into a titan, both Eren Yeager and Jean then proceed to fight against titans and help plug up the hole in Trost. I think it's possible that Jean and Eren Yeager are connected somehow.'' Mike explains to Hange and Pixis who both nod seeing where Mike was coming from.

''It's possible and Darius will most likely see it that way, it'll be hard to convince him to let Eren leave alive, it'll be even harder to let Jean live due to her lack of allegiance with the king.'' Pixis sighs out pinching the bridge of his nose. ''It may even be possible that Darius lets neither of them leave alive due to Jean here.'' Pixis adds on looking back down at Jean making his eyes widen seeing Jean's glowing Azure eyes looking back up at him. ''Ah so you're awake, you gave me a scare there.'' Pixis chuckles out getting a small smile from Jean as she sits up on the bed. ''So I was right that I was in my titan bodies heart.'' Jean says before yawning and stretching her limbs causing them to crack getting a pleased sigh from her. ''Jean mind if I ask something very quickly?'' Hange says her voice a tad bit timid making jean raise a brow. ''Sure go ahead…'' Jean says getting a nod from Hange. ''Why is your skin fake?'' Hange asks getting a sad smile from Jean.

''You have sharp eyes Hange.'' Jean sighs leaning her back against the wall before speaking again. ''My skin and a lot of my body needed replaced after I overloaded my body using my semblance, I overworked myself and it tore my body apart and when all was said and done I was a skinless torso and head with limbs that refused to work.'' Jean explains pulling her coat's sleeve up exposing her arm and holding it out to Hange to feel. ''Come on don't be shy.'' Jean teases making Hange huff out of her nose before running her fingers across the synthetic skin her face contorting into awe. ''It's not perfect as you can see the small seems from place to place, hell this arms completely metal along with my legs from the knee down.'' Jean says getting a raised brow from the group prompting her to lean forwards and roll up her trousers on the right leg showing and spinning the leg a full one hundred and eighty degrees making the groups eyes widen.

''Fascinating…'' Hange mutters grabbing the leg and looking it over with a critical eye getting Jean to chuckle at Hange's childish curiosity. ''a lot of my organs were replaced by synthetic ones as well, such as my right lung and kidney's being manmade.'' Jean explains further. ''You've been through a lot haven't you miss Arc?'' Pixis asks getting another sigh from Jean. ''I've been forced to do a lot of things I didn't want to, that's all I can say, if at my trial they ask me the same thing I'll tell them the truth then, telling lies in that environment won't get me anywhere.'' Jean explains to Pixis who nods respecting her decision. ''How could such things be made, limbs, organs, new skin? it all seems like fantasy!'' Hange thinks aloud still looking at Jean's leg with fascination in her eyes. ''Everything we don't understand could be considered fantasy.'' Mike chimes in only to be ignored by Hange making him huff through his nose. ''You do release now that Jean here is in a human form she'll need be shipped off to the inner wall like Eren Yeager to be put on trial as well.'' Mike says causing Hange and Pixis to frown looking at Jean sympathetically. ''It's fine, wouldn't be the first time I've been behind bars.'' Jean says waving it off with a bright smile on her face.

-=Day of the trial=-

''Prisoner wake up! Your escort will be arriving soon.'' Jean hears a voice waking her from her peaceful sleep causing her to let out a low groan as she sat up and glared at the soldiers while fixing her case of bed head. ''Thanks for the warning.'' Jean mutters tiredly while brushing her hair down with her fingers, careful not to get any hair caught in the exposed joints of the mechanical fingers. ''Oi pipsqueak get up.'' Jean says looking down at Eren who was still sleeping, the MP thought it'd be a good idea to throw the 'monsters' into a cell together and hoped that they'd just kill one another, in the end it was just Jean endlessly teasing Eren and then sleeping together and chatting to one another to pass the time and in one case Eren watched as Jean cursed out the guards for trying to silence them, let's just say that's the last they'd ever try that again. ''One second.'' Eren mutters still half asleep getting a flat look from Jean who grabs onto Eren's ear and pulls making his eyes snap open. ''Ow, Ow, Ow!'' Eren shouts getting up and grabbing into Jean's arm trying to pry her hand from his ear. ''I told you to get up.'' Jean says flatly letting go of Eren's ear prompting him to cup the ear while hissing in pain. ''You didn't need to be an asshole about it!'' Eren says angrily while glaring at Jean who just sticks her tongue out at him childishly.

''Oh don't be a baby about it, you're a soldier no a child.'' Jean says with an amused look on her face as Eren huffs and crosses his arms still angry with Jean. ''Well our trials soon, we'll know if we live or die within the hour.'' Jean says making Eren gulp nervously at the news. ''Don't get to worked up about it, it's just death.'' Jean jokes patting Eren's back unintentionally making the situation worse for the boy. ''J-just death…yeah…'' Eren says silently looking anywhere but Jean. ''I'm serious Eren, don't worry about it, the scouts'll get us out of here.'' Jean says her voice becoming serious causing Eren's eyes to widen for a moment. ''Yeah…you're right, the scouts have this.'' Eren says calming himself down.

''HI!'' Hange shouts slamming into the cells bars causing Jean and Eren to jump in fright. ''LIGHT GOD WOMAN!'' Jean shouts looking over at Hange who was chuckling at Jean's outburst. ''Hello to you as well Jean and you as well Eren, we'll have plenty of time to catch up in the future but right now I need to bring you to your trial.'' Hange says apologetically with two sets of huffs in her hands getting Jean to roll her eyes. ''No making me stand on one leg shit again, it was ridicules and painful.'' Jean says flatly getting up from the bed and grabbing the two sets of iron cuffs from Hange and tossing one set to Eren who clumsily catches them. ''Put 'em on.'' Jeans says as she starts to put on the cuffs prompting Eren to follow her lead. ''So what's the guy like who's conducting the trial?'' Jean asks looking back at Hange as the MP's open the gate. ''He's the commander in chief of the military, Darius Zackly.'' Hange says getting an annoyed hum from Jean knowing well that this was going to be a tough one while Eren looked on in confusion.

''Well let's go!'' Hange says grabbing onto Jean's cuffs and pulling her making the girl yelp in surprise at the sudden action. ''Come on kid.'' Mike says placing a hand on Eren's shoulder and leading him after Hange and Jean. ''Mike don't go sniffing the kid or I'll kick you in the nuts again!'' Jean calls back causing Mike to pause moving closer to Eren and move back winching slightly remembering when Jean had kicked him in his family jewels. ''Don't mind him Eren, he smells people to get to know them, has a really sharp sense of smell.'' Hange explains to the confused Eren Yeager who nods slowly while looking at Mike with a raised brow. ''that's…weird…'' Eren mutters aloud making Jean snort holding in a laugh as Mike's left eye twitches in annoyance. ''Oh dear, looks like I managed to pass all the time by talking, silly me! Sadly, this is where we part ways, just don't do anything irrational, stay quiet and let Erwin do the talking, we've put our trust in your two, best of luck.'' Hange says as they reach a door that Hange then pushes Jean and Eren through leaving them into the court house with dozens of people of different status watching.

Jean's eyes move up to the podium at the back of the building to see an elder man with grayed hair that was combed back, he had a full beard that was neatly shaven and wore a pair of spectacles over his eyes dull hazel eyes, he wore a simple white dress shirt with the two top buttons undone, his military coat was discarded to the side, to most he would be an elder man that held power but Jean could tell he was stronger than he looked.

''Move towards the center of the open area.'' Darius instructs leaving no room for any form of debate prompting Jean and Eren to move through the walkway into the open area. ''Both of you kneel in front of the two soldiers.'' Darius instructs prompting Jean and Eren to walk in front of the two soldiers and kneel prompting them to place down the metal objects over the chain links of their cuffs effectively restraining them. ''My name is Darius Zackly, current commander and chief of the military, meaning that my decision is final, today I decide if you live or die.'' Darius says bluntly to Jean and Eren causing the latter to gulp nervously while Jean simply looked up at him with a straight face. ''Now then with that out of the way you are Eren Yeager, currently a graduate of the 104th Cadet corp and Jean Miles D'Arc. Correct?'' Darius asks already knowing the answer. ''Yes sir.'' Jean and Eren say at the same time getting a brief nod from Darius.

''Good, Eren Yeager, you are a soldier and you are ready to give your life for the king and the people when called to, is that correct?'' Darius asks looking at a piece of paper in his hands before directing his gaze onto Eren. ''Yes…'' Eren replies nervously allowing Darius to continue. ''Jean Miles D'Arc, although you are not a listed soldier of any military corp you have engaged in military activates and thus fall under my jurisdiction, any objections?'' Darius asks focusing his gaze onto Jean. ''None sir.'' Jean replies getting another nod from Darius. ''Good, we shall proceed, as expected covering up the existence of both of you has proven pointless, and if a decision is not disclosed to the public soon we risk civil unrest and at worst a small scale civil war, thus today your trial is being held and depending on what regiment takes you in will determine your fate, the Military police or the scout regiment, we will start with the military police's case.'' Darius explains to the crowd watching before looking down at the military police branch present.

''Thank you, my name is Nile Duck, following a thorough examination of both subject Yeager and D'Arc's physiology they should be disposed of immediately, although both subject's titan abilities did play a large part in retaking Trost there mere existence is creating a swell of rebellious activity and for the greater good both should be named fallen soldiers of humanity.'' Nile explains calmly looking from his paper to Eren and Jean during his explanation, missing Jean letting out a very quiet laugh at Niles second name. ''UNACCEPTABLE! Those veil beings have defiled the sacred wall Rose! Given to humanity as a gift from god! They should be disposed of immediately!'' A man wearing what looked to be a priest uniform in Jean's mind shouts while pointing at Jean and Eren. ''Pastor Nick I will have to ask you to calm down.'' Darius says making Nick frown while casting his glare downwards.

''Now let us hear the scouts side of the argument.'' Darius says turning his gaze to Erwin who stood with a stone face. ''Yes sir, as the commander of the survey core I Erwin smith propose the following, let Eren and Jean join our ranks, reinstate Eren as a member of the survey corp and conscript Jean into the military, we will utilize their titan abilities to retake wall Maria, that is all.'' Erwin explains causing a wave of whispers of the crowd to sound. ''Hm? Is that it?'' Darius asks curiously prompting Erwin to nod. ''It is sir, with Jean and Eren's powers I'm confidant that we can retake wall Maria.'' Erwin says getting a hum from Darius. ''Quite bold, assuming you were given clearance where do you assume you can launch this operation from?'' Darius asks with a raised brow before looking at Pixis. ''Commander Pixis, the wall at Trost district is sealed correct?'' Darius asks getting a nod from Pixis. ''Indeed sir, I'm afraid those gates will never open again.'' Pixis says looking up at Darius with a straight face.

''We'll depart from Calaneth district to the east and make out way to Shinanshina, a new route can be established sir.'' Erwin explains to Darius who nods at the proposal. ''But that's ridicules! We'd be better of sealing off the gates! That's the only part of the wall the colossal titan can break, right? We'd be saving time, money and lives doing this! We should reinforce the blasted things and wash our hands of the entire afar!'' A man Jean assumed was a merchant chimes in prompting another to speak up. ''Shut your mouth merchant dog! With titans on our aside we can finally reclaim wall Maria!'' A scout argues getting the rooms attention on the merchant. ''We can't afford any more of these childish antics or more of your delusions of a happy ending!'' The merchant shouts back prompting Levi to speak up. ''Squealing louder won't help your case pig, while we bluster out defenses do you think the titans are going to stand idlily by and when you say can't afford do you mean anyone other than your fat merchant friends?'' Levi says getting a low whistle from Jean at the roast. ''Do you realize how many people struggle to get by every day on the little land we have left?'' Levi adds on getting the attention back onto the merchant.

''I'm simply saying sealing those gates is our only guaranteed protection! With those gates sealed off we never have to worry about another titan attack again!'' The merchant says getting Nick to speak up. ''Hold your tongue you vile bilateral heretic! Are you suggesting we, mere humans, meddle with wall rose?! A gift to us from god, the walls transcend human understanding! We cannot meddle in such matters!'' Nick shouts angrily getting a raised brow from Jean. ''A gift from god?'' Jean asks curiously getting the court's attention on her. ''That's funny, a god that instead of defeating human's greatest enemy decides to give us a wall with gates that can be destroyed? That's an odd gift, almost like your 'god' wanted it to happen aye?'' Jean says looking at Nick who's face becomes dark. ''Y-YOU DARE MOCK NOT ONLY THE WALLS BUT GOD THEMSELF?!'' Nick shouts in rage prompting Darius to hit his desk several times quieting the courthouse. ''Order! I ask that you keep religious matters out of the military court.'' Darius says harshly looking at Nick who lets out an angry huff but quiets down non-the less.

''Now then I have a question for you mister Yeager, as a soldier you have made a solemn pledge to answer humanities call, can you still serve using your titan abilities?'' Darius asks Eren. ''Yes! I will sir!'' Eren says with determination on his face. ''Oh? Is that so? But this report from the battle for Trost contradicts that statement.'' Darius says before lifting a sheet of paper and begins to read from it. ''After transforming it seems you made an attempt to crush and kill Mikasa Ackerman.'' Darius reads causing Eren to let out a short gasp and look over at Mikasa and Armin with a look of shock. ''Who is this Mikasa Ackerman?'' Darius asks prompting Mikasa to speak up. ''Me, that would be me sir.'' Mikasa says looking up at Darius who looks back down at her. ''Alright the, is it true that Eren Yeager assaulted and attempted to kill you while in titan form?'' Darius asks prompting Mikasa to look at Eren with a frown on her face. After a small pause Mikasa looks up at Darius. ''Yes…all of that's true…'' Mikasa says slowly causing the occupants of the courthouse to start whispering to one another.

''However, he saved my life twice before and in both situations he was in his titan form, first shortly after Trost had fallen, I was about to be killed by a titan and then Eren came, he stepped in and protected me, the second time he transformed into a titan to shield me and Armin from cannon fire, I plead that you take these instances into account sir.'' Mikasa says causing the occupants of the courthouse to quiet down. ''Objection!'' Nile says getting the attention of the courthouse on him. ''I believe that feelings have a large part to play in her testimony. Let it be known that Mikasa was orphaned at a young age and was taken in by the Yeager family, and once more out internal investigation into the situation discovered something truly shocking, at the tender age of nine Mikasa Ackerman and Eren Yeager stabbed and killed three kidnappers to death, although this was in self-defense one cannot help but question the violent nature of the act! Knowing all of this should we really invest money, man power and perhaps even the fate of human kind into Eren Yeager?!'' Nile explains to the court house getting surprised gasps and looks from the occupants.

''M-maybe she'd one too!'' The merchant from earlier says pointing at Misaka. ''Yeah! Dissect her too just to be safe!'' Another man chimes in getting Eren to speak up. ''HOLD ON A SECOND! MAYBE I'M A MONSTER THAT YOU WANT DEAD BUT LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!'' Eren shouts angrily at the merchants only causing more uproar. ''QUIET!'' Eren shouts moving to get up causing his restraints to let out a deafening metallic clang silencing the courthouse. ''You're wrong…about it all…but your so intent on pushing selfish agendas you're blind to what's in front of you!'' Eren says trembling with anger. ''What do you mean?'' Neil asks with a look of shock on his face. ''Why does it even matter? none of you have even seen a titan so what the hell are you so afraid!? There's no sense in having power if you don't use it to fight! If you're to scared to fight for your lives fine! Let me do it instead! You…YOU'RE ALL COWARDS! Just shut up and put your fucking faith in me!'' Eren shouts angrily at the MP's and merchants leaving the room in a shocked silence.

''Take aim damn it!'' Nile says breaking out of his shocked state causing a brown-haired soldier to draw his musket up and cock it causing Eren's eyes to widen followed by Levi jumping over the stand and kicking Eren in the face knocking his tooth out followed by Levi giving a violent beat down on Eren while the people looked on in shock and fear. ''Now hold on Levi…'' Nile says pausing Levi's beating on Eren. ''What is it?'' Levi asks looking over at Neil with a slight amount of impatience in his tone. ''It's dangerous… what if he gets angry turns into a titan?'' Nile asks as Levi looks back down at Eren who'd stupidly looked back up at him causing Levi to kick him again. ''Don't be stupid. You guys just want to dissect him don't you?'' Levi asks flatly looking at the shocked MP with a handful of Eren's hair in his hand to hold him up. ''He won't kill you Levi but you can count on me caving your skull in.'' Jean says 'sweetly' causing Levi to look over at Jean with a raised brow while dropping Eren.

''What makes you think you could kill me?'' Levi asks walking in front of Jean with a curious look on his face. ''Unlike him I'm a trained soldier and in a one on one fight I'm positive I could have you on the floor before you take several steps.'' Jean says looking up at Levi with a grin on her face. ''Oh really? Like I was going to say when it comes down to it Eren here only needs some discipline and to be kept in line, I can easily kill him if needed but I doubt anyone else here could but you, you're an unknown, and unknowns are far more dangerous than Eren over there.'' Levi says looking from Eren to Jean with a dark look in his eyes. ''Sir, I have a new proposal.'' Erwin says getting the attention of the court house, besides Jean and Levi who were locked in a glaring contest, on him. ''Proceed.'' Darius says prompting Erwin to continue. ''There's still too much we don't know and no doubt his danger will be ever present and thus I suggest that Eren Yeager be placed under captain Levi's supervision and we'll conduct a recon mission outside of the wall.'' Erwin explains. ''And Yeager will be taking part in his mission I assume?'' Darius asks getting a nod from Erwin. ''Yes sir, and you can look upon the missions results yourself, if he successfully controls his ability Eren will have proven his value to mankind.'' Erwin adds.

''And Eren Yeager will be closely supervised and if he should fail to control his power?'' Darius asks looking to Levi for an answer. ''I could defiantly kill him if it comes to it, the only downside is there's no middle ground.'' Levi explains turning to the commander and chief breaking eye contact with Jean. ''So be it, Eren Yeager is to be placed under the supervision of the scout regiment.'' Darius says getting a sigh of relief from Mikasa and Armin. ''Now miss D'Arc you on the other hand are still not free.'' Darius says looking down at Jean who smirked up at him. ''Jean Miles D'Arc I have some questions to ask you, do you swear to answer these questions honestly?'' Darius asks getting a nod from Jean. ''Yes sir, I swear to answer all questions truthfully.'' Jean says getting a hum from Darius as he picks up several pieces of paper and reads them off.

''How old are you miss D'Arc?'' Darius asks looking up from the papers in his hands getting a raised brow from Jean. ''Thirty-four years old sir.'' Says getting an odd look from Darius. ''Is it true that you originated outside of the walls?'' Darius asks getting a nod from Jean. ''Yes sir, I originated from outside the walls.'' Jean answers truthfully getting some mummers from the crowd. ''Where did you come from? You may have been born outside the walls but you were not born a titan and from reports you have only had your titan powers for a year.'' Darius asks looking to another paper and to Jean. ''I was a former huntress of the kingdom of Atlas before it was destroyed sir.'' Jean says getting even Erwin to look at her in shock. ''Kingdom of Atlas?'' Darius asks suspiciously with his eyes narrowed. ''Yes sir, the kingdom of Atlas was a walled city similar to this one, it fell to the enemy of humanity ten years ago.'' Jean explains grimly.

''What are huntresses miss D'arc?'' Darius asks looking at Jean with his eyes still narrowed. ''We're an elite force of fighters trained to combat the enemy of humanity effectively, we are graded on out combat power from E to X sir.'' Jean explains causing Darius' look to turn to interest. ''What grade where you given Miss D'Arc?'' Darius asks curiously. ''I was graded as an X class hunter sir.'' Jean answers getting loud mummers from the crowd. ''I assume that is very powerful Miss D'arc?'' Darius asks getting a nod from Jean. ''A single X class hunter had the combat power to destroy over fifty present of Atlas' military power.'' Jean explains causing Darius' eyes to widen at the news. ''LIES! NO ONE COULD BE THAT STRONG!'' Nile shouts angrily getting Jean's attention on him. ''Are you sure about that? Do you want to see me do such a thing?'' Jean asks standing up causing her restraints to snap causing the armed MP's to ready their weapons. ''How did you…'' Nile says in shock taking a step back as Jean moved a foot forwards. ''Miss D'Arc I must ask you to stop in your advance.'' Darius says making Jean pause mid step.

''I apologize sir, I was out of line.'' Jean says turning to Darius who'd stood up and begun to put his coat back on. ''Good, now then I have made my decision.'' Darius says leaving the room in an uneasy silence. ''Miss D'Arc will be handed over to the scout regiment.'' Darius says getting a smirk from Erwin. ''However Jean Miles D'Arc falls directly under my command, all orders given to her outside of active combat situations must be approved by me.'' Darius adds on getting shocked looks from Nile, Pixis and Erwin. ''But sir…'' Erwin attempts to speak but is silenced by Darius raising a hand. ''As of this moment Jean Miles D'Arc you have hereby been conscripted into active military service, you will be placed within the ranks of the scout regiment but will fall under my command, do I make myself clear?'' Darius asks looking down at Jean who straightens up and Salutes. ''Yes sir.'' Jean says getting a nod from Darius who ignores the incorrect salute. ''You are all dismissed.'' Darius says prompting the occupants of the court room. ''Miss D'Arc come with me.'' Darius says prompting Jean to nod and follow after the commander in chief.

''Miss D'Arc is what you said in that room true?'' Darius asks turning to Jean who nods at the question. ''Just Jean sir and yes, X class hunters are extremely powerful but there was only three in active duty.'' Jean explains to Darius who frowns. ''Then how did Atlas fall with such powerful warriors defending it?'' Darius asks curiously getting a frown from Jean. ''A coup sir, the nobles managed to bribe the two active X class hunters to take part and when the dust settled only small fraction of the military was left and the walls had been breached leaving the city to fall due to its lack of defenses, sir.'' Jean explains morbidly remembering the day the coup had happened. ''I see so in the end the kingdom was destroyed by greed…'' Darius mutters scratching his beard with a frown on his face.

''I assume you know why I let the scout's take you then?'' Darius asks breaking the linger silence between the two. ''Yes sir, you knew that if I was handed over to the MP I would just escape and go on the run.'' Jean says getting a nod from Darius. ''Indeed and it would be a waste of such a valuable resource, as I said Jean you answer to me and only me and if the king calls you before him, you tell him half-truths.'' Darius says getting another nod from Jean. ''I understand sir, it's nothing new.'' Jean says getting a light chuckle from Darius.

''Sir seeing as I'm to answer to you I believe you should know about my current state of health.'' Jean says getting a raised brow from Darius. ''My body is eighty percent artificial, my right arm and leg and prosthetic replacements, my skin is a synthetic replacement after it was burned off during combat, my eyes are also artificial and much more.'' Jean explains to Darius who lets out a hum looking at Jean's face and hair very carefully and seeing that the material was defiantly not skin or hair. ''Impressive, a group of people with the ability to replace not only limbs but also a majority of someone's body is awe inspiring.'' Darius says as he begins to walk towards his cart. ''For now we'll have a uniform made up for you and you can explain more about yourself and the kingdom of Atlas to me in a more…secure location.'' Darius explains as he and Jean get into his cart that heads towards the military headquarters.
