Chapter 3: Angel versus God

A deviant Titan was walking through the forest looking for flesh until a black blade flew into its neck and with three beeps, the titan blew up. A blonde man with orange eyes the smoke and landed on a tree.

"Alright Airavata, you carry this one home." He said with a triumph smile.

"Naw Luke, you do it." Said a brown haired man with blue eyes.

"Tch, idiots." A man with black hair and yellow eyes said as he put the bits and pieces of the titan into a bag.

"You blew it up and we have to hurry if we want to eat this." He said

"Oh…right." Said Airavata scratching his head as he began to help

"Sorry James." Said Luke.

Eren rode alongside the Levi squad looking around his surroundings.

"Are you okay Eren?" Mikasa asked

"I'm fine, stop treating me like I'm a kid!" Eren angrily answered annoyed by the way Mikasa treats him

"She just asked you if you were okay." Shikishima said with his smug smile

"Shut up!" Eren yelled back

"Everyone shut the fuck up and focus." Ordered Levi

"Yes sir!" replied everyone

Two soldiers rode across the plain.

"See any?" asked one

"No." answered the other "Where are they?"

Suddenly, two grey hands with three fingers and black nails grabbed bother of them carrying them up in the air.

Haiden sniffed the air

"Titan shifter heading towards Eren." He said as he spun around a tree and headed northwest of his position.

Eren and his squad were heading towards the forest, then the two soldiers from earlier crashed down in front of them from the sky, exploding into blood and guts.

"What the –"exclaimed Jean as another thing crashed a yard from them. As the smoke cleared and white skinned slender figure looked at the squad. It had a grey beak with sharp pointed teeth, big white sharp teeth, and six yellow eyes. It was clear to see, this was a titan, a 30 meter titan.

"Okay, that's definitely a titan shifter." Connie pointed out

"Yeah no shit." Said Jean

The titan let out a high pitched screech causing everyone to put their hands on their ears. The titan then charged at the Levi squad.

"Oh shit!" yelled out Connie

"Aaaa I'm sorry birdie!" exclaimed Sasha

"Everyone shut the fuck up and get out of its path!" ordered Levi

Everyone did as they were told, but the creature was fast enough to grab Eren.

"Eren!" Armin said as Mikasa shot a grapple hook at the titan.

"Let him go!" she yelled as she propelled herself to the titan for an attack but the titan just swatted her away.

"Mikasa!" Eren screamed trying to get his right arm free.

"Enough of this shit."

Out of nowhere, Levi cut the head off of the titan, nape and all. Shangai caught Eren when he was dropped by the titan. They thought it just ended right there until the titan grabbed it's head and put it back on.

"What the fuck!" Shangai said

"H-how's it still alive?" questioned Hiana

Eren bit his right hand in anger.

"Eren no!" begged Mikasa but it was too late Eren formed into the Rogue titan.

"Do guys smell that?" Natasha, a 12- year old girl, asked her teammates Jonathan and Hank.

"Yeah, it's a titan shifter." Jonathan answered

"Oi mates, don't worry about that." Hank said with a smirk "I'm sure our powerful leader is already on the hunt for it."

"Yeah, Haiden forms into the strongest thing in the world, what do we got to worry about." Ensured Jonathan

Natasha nodded

"Yeah sensei will destroy him."

Eren was getting badly beaten by the titan no matter what he did, and his squad mates were running out of gas. Shikishima looked at Mikasa with her worried face and got an idea, a terrible idea.

"Mikasa, darling I got an idea." Shikishima said to her

"What is it?" Mikasa asked worried about Eren.

"Why don't you get the titan's attention and run to the forests giving us the chance to attack." Shikishima said

Mikasa thought about it

"Do you what him to die." He said

Mikasa immediately got on the nearest horse and shot a flare at the titan getting its attention as it punched Eren yards away. Mikasa ran with the titan chasing her as the others watched. They wanted to get to her but couldn't due the lack of horses and Levi pulled Eren of his titan body. Mikasa realized what was going on, no one was coming for her like Shikishima said they would.

"Damn you Shikishima." Mikasa thought as she was getting closer to the forest.

Then the ground shook, a sound could be heard, birds flew away from the forest. Everyone, even the titan stopped at the sound.

"What in the world is going on?" Hiana said.

Trees in the forest began to fall as a huge shadow was seen.

"What is that?" Armin asked pointing at the shadow.

It came closer and was revealed to be no titan, but something else entirely. This new creature was black, 35 meters tall, has a smooth narrow head, and has six blood red eyes and more on its neck, a scorpion like tail, gills, sharp teeth and claws. But what was really unusual about the huge translucent jagged spike on its back.

"You'll try to kill me. You'll try to take my freedom away."

"But."

"I'm the hunter, and you're my prey."

The new monster roared at the titan for a challenge, the titan roared back accepting it. A fight between the titan and the new creature is about to begin, there's just one problem…

Mikasa is in the middle of it.

The two charged at each other with their feet barely hitting Mikasa as she dodged their footing. The new creature bit on the titan's shoulder and threw it away, but it quickly got back up and ran at the monster, raising its fist to punch the monster. The creature's red eyes glew blue as it shot lightning bolts from its eyes at the titan knocking it back to the ground. The humans witnessing the battle were surprised by the attack.

Eren's eyes awoke to the sight of the battle and Mikasa caught in between.

"What's going on? What is that thing? And why is Mikasa there almost getting killed?!" Eren angrily and confusedly asked.

As the others try to calm Eren down, Armin realized the creature was trying to attack the titan's chest.

"Is the titan shifter in the chest? And if so, does this new monster intelligent?" Armin asked himself

The monster has had enough of this titan and reared its head back, shooting out a purple fire from its mouth. The fire melted the grass below it and the titan's feet but luckily brought no harm to Mikasa. Though the fire was hot, the titan dodged the attack and decided for a new game plan.

Instead of attacking the monster, the titan grabbed Mikasa instead.

"Mikasa!" Yelled Eren seeing his sister in the titan's grasp

The monster moved its scorpion tail to the titan, stabbing it in the arm thus letting Mikasa go. The creature caught Mikasa and back handed the titan away.

"Great, now the lizard has her." Jean said

"No, look." Armin pointed at the battle

The titan tried its best to get to Mikasa but the creature defended her in his grasp

"It's protecting her!" Shangai said

"So it's on our side?" asked Connie

"I guess it is." Sasha said with a smile

Shikishima's long grin (which he held since the monster and the titan were fighting) was gone

"I should've know you'll show up and ruin my fun." Shikishima thought glaring at the monster

The titan flew a couple feet in the air and looked at its opponent.

It had another idea.

The titan flew down and blasted a white energy in the creature's face, blinding it. The titan then bit on the hand the monster held Mikasa in and swallowed her.

"MIKASA!" yelled Eren as he tried to run at the tiatn but Shangai, Connie, and Armin held him down.

Shikishima just smiled at this and Jean fell to his knees. The titan flew off but the monster then shedded black leathery wings and flew after it.

"Just stay in there Mikasa, I won't let you die."

Will the monster save Mikasa? Is it even on our side? Who are James, Airavata, Luke, Hank, Natasha, Jonathan, and Haiden? What's up with Shikishima? Who is this titan shifter?

Some of these questions will be answered in…
