Kapitel 1: Interval
As with the disappearance of the Humanity along with the Titans, the sole survivors of this tragedy set foot on a new journey of nowhere with new dangers & enemies awaits them. Encounters the organization called the "Black Order" and the purifiers called "Exorcists", fighting the creatures called "Akuma" created by the Millennium Earl to destroy the world and the rest of humanity. This circumstances changed their lives, believing that humanity still exists and may have a chance to fight for the glory to live in this new world with freedom and hope.
Present Day
"Damn it!, if only I'm strong enough to defeat the Titans, I can save humanity. No one needs to die! No one needs to be sacrificed!" Eren reprimands himself as he punches his fists on a dead ground kneeling in desperation.
"Eren, no ones to be blamed of it!. Not you, or anybody, this is all because of the Titans and it's origin." Mikasa comforted him.
"Look at your surroundings, empty, ruined and nobody else is here! Not a single trace of them left like they vanished into thin air with no explanation too!" angered Eren
"How am I supposed not to blamed myself from what happened? Tell me Mikasa! No, this is all my fault! It's my fault that this things happened!" Eren continues to blame himself from the incident.
"Shut up brat, I know things became fucked up in a blink of an eye. But don't, don't selfishly accused yourself and claimed all the blame that it's your fault to begin with."Levi interrupted the conversation between the two.
"B-but, if only I'm strong enough to defend the walls none of this will ever happened, nobody is needed to become a livestock and sacrifice their lives!"explained by Eren.
"I know, and I always know you feel responsible about what happened and I understand it myself, but it's not too late for you to feel regretful. This experiences will make you much stronger to face the reality.", "We need to move forward and fight! This is how life is meant to be, this is their fate! this is our fate! Accept the reality Eren. For us soldiers, for us humans putting their lives on the line to be the strength of humanity." Levi insisted to Eren who is lost of thought about the tragedy.
"Put into consideration all the efforts of the people who gave their lives defeating the titans, instead of making self pity to yourself because of it. It's mortifying, they know what's best so they decided to do it in our stead. This is the proof that humanity still prevails and never give up no matter what dangers may occur to them! You should be aware of that Eren, you are their hope, our hope, don't let their death be in vain because of your ignorance. We are here to support you! this is also our mission, our sole purpose as your guide and as a fellow survey corpsman. Continue! spread your wings like a bird and bring freedom on the future mankind!" even Levi is not sure of himself why he became so talkative now and preached to Eren. But maybe it is his way of encouraging him to enlightened his lost spirit to continue his mission to fight and find remaining existence of humanity in the edge of the world.
"Yes, Sir!"Eren responded to Levi who is contented on the determination of his words. "Good! I like the look you are making now."Levi compliment.
As the remaining troops put theirselves back into order, suddenly a flash of light from the sky descended to them and at the same time, Eren's key that Grisha gave glows incredibly bright nearly blind them. And the next thing happens became blurred on each and everyone of them.
Armin's POV
*where are we? ouch! my head still aches from what happened earlier. Eeeeh?! where's everybody? oh! There they are! oh no! they're all unconscious! What am I gonna do? Wait! I'll wake up Mikasa and Eren first!*
"Mikasa! Eren! wake up! do you hear me?"Mikasa is the first to be conscious of the two, hazy at first but instantly became aggressive when it's Eren where talking to.
"Calm down! Calm down first Mikasa. Are you all right?"I asked her.
"Armin, where's Eren? Is he alright?"worried Mikasa.
"Yeah, he's alright though, unconscious. He's been there behind us."I explained to her.
"I'll wake him and assure he's alright. I'm worried about him!"Mikasa stated as she approached Eren's side to wake him.
"Mikasa! I'll wake the rest, take care of Eren for me!"as I asked for Mikasa's assistance.
" Ok Armin, leave Eren to me, wake up the others then."Mikasa responded as she continuously tapping Eren's shoulder.
I first approached from where Jean, Connie and Sasha are been lying to and try to wake them up. "Jean! Connie! Sasha! wake up! wake up you guys! Do you here me? It's me, Armin"as I called to them.
"...Armin?ugh! my head hurts! what happened? where are we? Oi, Connie! Potato Girl! wake up you bastards!"Jean is the first to wake up before the two does.
"I don't know, even I have no idea what happened or where are we now."I answered him with a confused look crept on my face.
"Anyway, are you alright?"I asked him. "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks."Jean responded as he wakes the two from being unconscious.
"Oi, Connie!Potato Girl! ya hear me?! wake up bastards nap time is over!"Jean literally slapping the two to wake up.
"Ngah?! what is it? is it time for dinner?"Sasha suggested as she wakes up completely.
"Moron! how is it supposed to be dinner when we don't know where we are now? you Potato Girl!"annoyed Jean because of Sasha's stupidity.
"Ugh! so noisy! my head hurts like hell! eeeh!?Jean?Sasha? and you too,Armin? what happened? where are the others? where are we? From what I remembered, there's a flash of light from the sky, then Eren's key glows extremely bright it blinds my eyes. And after that, I can't remember what happened. So, where are we now?"Connie asked the two in the midst of confusion.
"Beats me, I also have no idea where we are now. This is the first time is see a place like this, no walls confining to it, it's weird."Jean who is also confused about this, explained the details about the situation their also into.
"Guys! I'll leave the rest up to you, I will check Eren and the others condition if their fine. See you later!"as I take my leave to go back again on Eren's side.
"Gotcha Armin! leave it to us three! go check up on the others and also that Suicidal Bastard side!"Jean retorted.
"Uhmmm..Jean? that was too harsh to comment Eren that way when he is unaware of it. I'm sure if Mikasa hears that,she will kill you for sure."Sasha and Connie added.
"Shut up both of you! I know what I'm doing."Scared but confident Jean.
*Sweatdrops...*
Normal POV
As Armin leaves Jean, Connie and Sasha's side to go back again to Eren and Mikasa, he checks his surroundings at the same time to locate where they landed to. From what he can see, they've landed on a very high place or a valley-like secluded area considering the air pressure of the place and it's stiff edges that can't see the bottom ground. Armin concluded that this place is beyond the world they belonged to. No walls, no Titans, to be restricted of. As he continues his investigation of the place, something peek his interest not far away from the woods he been walking through.
"What was that?"curious Armin.
From his interpretation, the tall-black looking thing ahead the woods must be a tower or something based on it's construction and on Armin's opinion to it.
"Oh! It's must be a tower or something else, good thing it's not that faraway from here. Maybe we can take a shelter there for a while. But before that, I must go and check upon the others first!"an excited Armin rushing over to his comrades.
"Hmmmm?..are there any living beings around here? It's so quiet, come to think of it."stopped halfway. "What was I'm thinking? We're in the middle of nowhere! And now I'm thinking of it?!never mind! I must hurry, maybe some of them are awake by now."continuously rushing over to his destination.
Eren's POV
*n...en...ren...Eren! Eren!*
Huh? Who's calling me? Mikasa? Ugh! my vision are blurring and my head is spinning. From what I remember, we are preparing for our journey after the disappearance of the people and the titans together with the walls. And after that, something bright came from above the sky and at the same time the key that father gave me glows extremely bright and nearly blinds us. And then, I don't know what's next happened afterwards, it became all pitch black.
"Eren! Eren! wake up! please if you can hear me! please say something!"Mikasa pleaded.
*huh? I hear it again, this time it's vivid and clear. It's Mikasa's voice whose been calling me, I thought I'm just dreaming*.
From the state of dreamy, I gradually begin to open my eyes. To my surprise, instead of an emotionless and nagging Mikasa, is a teary and crying one who's very worried about me. Suddenly hugged me very tightly from the shock and happiness.
"*sniff, sniff,sob*Eren! Eren! I'm so glad you're awake now! I thought you will never gained your consciousness! I'm so happy!"Mikasa hugged me even tightly that I can't breathe.
"Ugh! Mi-mikasa, I can't b-breathe!"the only words I can come up to.
"Oh! oh my! I'm so sorry Eren! I don't know. I'm just so happy that I forgot, sorry!"Mikasa blushed while apologizing to me.
"It's okay, I know that your only worry about my wellbeing and I'm happy for it. By the way, where's Armin? do you know where is he? where's everybody? Even Capt-"before I can utter another word, I was cutoff by an angry and expressionless face Mikasa.
"Armin's been checking on the others and if your looking for that shorty,"pointing opposite meters away from us. "He's over there."she stated as she looked across to the unconscious bodies lying on the ground. "Also Commander Erwin and Squad Leader Hanji."
"O-okay, I must wake them up. Mikasa, tell Armin when he arrives, you two go ahead and find the others before the sun goes down."I insisted to Mikasa.
"*tch* Okay I understand, I'll tell Armin when he arrives."said by the annoyed and expressionless Mikasa.
*did she just clicked her tongue because I mentioned Captain Levi?*
hmmmm..never mind about that, the important thing is, I must hurry to wake them up before the night time comes. After Mikasa and I part ways, I begin to rushed the Captain's side to wake them up. Oh no! This is the first time in my life that I'm seeing Captain Levi unconscious and I'm the one who needs to wake him up!good grief! Surely he'll be all grumpy and beat me up half dead when he wakes up. As I shivered imagining the things the Captain might do to me, that's the time he regained his consciousness.
*Be strong Eren! you can do it! your a man, a titan, the humanity's hope! There's nothing you should be afraid of! P-probably only applies to Captain Levi.*
*Sigh*
Being overly stupid and silly, I sighed heavily and continue to walk as I reached the three of them and begin to wake them up. First, I start waking up Captain Levi gently, because who knows, I don't want to end up half dead again like the last time he beat me up and also from waking him now.
As I begin to wake him up, I noticed an expression beyond my expectation. A peaceful expression crept in on the Captain's usual grumpy face.
"Well, you can say it's kinda cute for a scary man like himself to calm for a while"I chuckled softly and begin to wake him up.
"A-ano? Captain Levi? P-please wake up if you can hear me." *no response*
"Captain? can you hear me? please wake up!"now much louder as I continuously calling him while shaking him up.
"Captain? Captain Levi? Capt-"..."tch, Shut up you damn brat! I can hear you the first time! Ugh! my head hurts like shit! so noisy!"I was cut off by the usual rude and grumpy faced Captain glaring at me.
*Eeek! so scary! He's so peaceful when unconscious, but now...it's the same Captain again. I thought he's gonna beat me or something. Thank goodness it isn't*.
(On my own thoughts.)
"Oi, Eren! can you tell me where the hell are we now? Shit! my head is still ringing!"Captain Levi asked me while glaring at me hotly.
"U-umm...s-sir, I also don't know what kind of place is this. Maybe Armin can help us figured it out."I answered him half frightened.
*tch! useless...* "never mind...help me to wake up Erwin and four-eyed shit. Maybe if their awake they'll piss their pants the hell out of excitement. Especially four-eyed shit."Captain Levi stated while beginning to wake up Commander Erwin.
I also begin to wake up Hanji-San whose by now are drooling. Eeek!...
"Oi, Erwin! wake up! time to rise and shit and get the hell out of here!."Captain Levi's voice echoes to our distance while waking Commander Erwin.
"Hanji-san! Hanji-san! wake up! It's me, Eren, can you hear me?"as I call to Hanji-san whose only response is her breathing.
"Hanji-san! wake up! there's a Titan nearby! Quick!"the only thing came up on my mind to wake her up completely.
And then suddenly... "Titans!...where?...hah..hah..hehehe!..I'm coming for you! Wait for me!"Hanji-san suddenly bolted up in her state of unconsciousness and attacked me.
"Ugh!..c-can't breathe! Hanji-san! Hanji-san! It's Eren!"I pleaded her to let me go. "Oh? Eren? Oh! sorry! sorry! I was just surprised when I hear the word "Titan"hehehe..my bad!"Hanji-san apologized for her earlier actions.
*cough! cough!*"It's okay, it's also partially my fault for shouting unnecessary things to you."as I reprimanded to my earlier actions.
"Ne, Eren? do you know where is this place? where's Levi and Erwin? Oh! I almost forgot about Moblit!"asked by an amused Hanji-san.
"Beats me, Hanji-san, I don't know also this place. Maybe Armin can investigate the place for us so we can figured it out. Oh! if your looking for the Captain, he's right over there."I smiled and pointing at the opposite direction to ours.
"Pffft!Hehehe...he's surely is very rough on handling Erwin, even on waking him up, he's ruthless. Ne, Eren?"Hanji-san commented while being amused on watching the two men.
"Ahahaha?...I guess?"the only thing I can respond to her.
Normal POV
As Eren and the rest of the gang we're all settled, they proceed their way on meeting up with the others on the opposite side of the woods.
"Eren! thank goodness your awake! Mikasa is with Reiner and the others as well with Jean, Connie and Sasha."Armin happily approached Eren and the remaining higher-ups.
"Yeah, safe and sound. So Armin, do you have any idea where we are now?"Eren asked.
"That's what I've been telling you now based on my observation on the place. Oh! *salute* it's good to see you all sir's!"Armin explained while giving courtesy to Captain Levi, Commander Erwin and Squad Leader Hanji.
"Thanks for the concern Armin. By the way, what's with this talk all about? I'm curious, can you tell us more about that?"insisted by a curious Erwin.
"Oi, Armin, get all the brats in here so we can settle with that shitty plan of yours."Levi commanded.
"Y-yes, sir!"the only word Armin can response before he exited to fetch the others.
When the group is all completed, Armin explained the details of the plan he came up with. He also tell them about the tower he recently discovered not too far from the woods where they came through. Although curious, it scares them at the same time thinking about the upcoming dangers ahead they might encounter in this unfamiliar world. Where maybe a single humanity may even existed in here. Hope and at the same time despair came through them, as they set for a new goal in this another journey of nowhere finding new life with a choice of no regrets. All settled from the plan, the troops continued their expedition on the place to reach the so-called tower Armin stated in his investigation to see if they can find a single trace of living beings and take shelter for the time being before dark.
Unknown to them, that their moves been read and followed by a mysterious beings of the place they've set foot. Will this mysterious beings are a friend or a new foe? What will happened to them? Will they reach their goal and find new hope in this parallel world? Or is there a chance that the history and tragedy repeat itself? Now, it's up to them to decide their fate on this interval of time they've been caged in.
*like it?...please R&R so that I will know if it's interesting or boring..and so I can start Chapter 2..ja-ne!..:-)
