AN: Hello everyone and welcome to Chapter 5 of Attack On Guardians. I hope you all enjoy the chapter

Chapter 5: Wait

The Guardians watched as the local garrison celebrated their first success against the titans. The Guardians smiled as they walked past following the man and the 'crazy woman' that Tom had dubbed her as over the fire-team chat. As they walked past some of the locals started to whisper "Those the guys that helped us?" "Heard they got weird powers." The guardians just kept their cool and followed along. As they reached a wooden door the man and woman entered with the Guardians behind them. a blonde man sat behind a wooden desk at the end of the room. The man and woman stepped to each side to allow the Guardians to walk forward in a line.

"So, you are the 'Guardians' I've been hearing so much about?" the blonde man asked, his eyes staring strangely towards Sarah.

"Yes sir," Jason replied as he took his gas-mask off and took his hood down. "I'm Jason. These are Tom and Sarah." He gestured towards his friends who took their helmets off. Sarah getting a bit of shock from the others and the crazy woman blurting out questions about how she became a awoken, naturlly she stayed quite, blushing every time her name was mentioned.

"Well then. Why did you help us?" The blonde man asked

"We are Guardians, we just did." Jason shrugged.

"Who do you work for?" He asked another question

"We don't work for anyone. We fight for the light against the darkness." Tom replied

"How did you get in the walls?"

"Uhh..." All three of them put a hand on the back of their head and started to rub. "We may have followed the titans inside the city..."

"You were outside the wall when the titans attacked?" The man who had escorted them in asked, his face still neutral.

"Yeah, we thought we could find some help until we saw what was happening. Then we decided the help." Jason stated.

"How many more of you are there?" The blonde man asked, getting the attention back on him.

"From what we know there's only us 6 here." Tom stated

"6!? Where are the other 3?"

The three Guardians looked at each other, all nodding, they held out their right hand in front of them, palms up to the sky. Their Ghosts appearing in their hands, making everyone jump, Levi neutral face showing signs of shock for only a few seconds before returning back to normal. "Meet our Ghosts." Tom smiled.

"Ghosts?"

"They're our companions." Sarah stated, finally talking.

"Greetings." All three Ghosts chimed in at the same time.

"What are you going to do now?" the man's question caught all the Guardians off guard. None of them really knew what they would need to do.

"Well... we'll just help you guys find the titans." Jason nodded.

The man stayed silent for a few seconds until he spoke up again. "Fine, we could use all the help. My names Commander Erwin Smith, commander of the Survey Corps." The man introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you." Tom nodded

"Titans are 2nd priority..." Everyone turned to Sarah, who was looking at the floor, her hair covering most of her face.

"What do you mean?" Erwin asked

"The Fallen are here..." She stated, Erwin and the other scouts quickly noticed that both of the other Guardians faces flushed.

"No way..." Tom said "Ho-How are they here!"

"I don't know. Bur i saw a Vandal just before Trost district was sealed." She explained "If it's here. Then its house must be close by."

"That's what you meant about seeing the Darkness." Jason nodded in realization.

"What's the Fallen." Erwin asked

"Something much, MUCH, worse than the titans you face." Tom said, anger in his voice.

"What? Nothing could be as bad as the Titans." Erwin stated

"You have no IDEA-!" Tom yelled as he slammed his fists onto his table. "If the Fallen are here. Then the Darkness is coming, and they will sweep over you quicker than the titans have." Tom stood back up straight "If they are coming they we need to hit now."

"I agree." Sarah's Ghost stated

"If you excuse us, we need to do some work." Jason bowed slightly, he turned back to his friends. "Tom, I'm going to need to borrow your ghost. I'm going to try and get a Sparrow uplink up and I'm going to need all the help i can get."

"Sure, I'm going to work on making some ammo." Tom stated

"I have a idea for some equipment, I'll get back to you on that." Sarah nodded. Jason nodded and walked up to the door and opened it, his and Tom's Ghosts following, He then turned to 'Crazy woman'.

"Hey, think you could help me out?" He asked her, instantly regretting it.


A day later and the group had just arrived at the Survey Corps headquarters, which was a castle. In that day Tom had been able to count up their ammo count and Jason was able to draw up the plans for the Sparrow uplink. Sarah on the meanwhile had been strangely quite about what her project was. The three rode on horseback, having quite a bit of trouble with the horses because of their first time.

"This place seems nice..." Tom said, slightly optimistic about their new home for the time being.

"It's either that or a dungeon." Jason replied as he walked past and towards the door where Commander Erwin and the other man, now known to the Guardians as Levi, were waiting.

"Seem's you've arrived. Late thought." Levi stated

"Sorry, had a bit of trouble with the horses." Jason pointed his thumb behind him to Sarah who was slowly backing away from her horse.

"Anyway, your rooms have been set up." Erwin stated "Petra will show you to your rooms."

"Thank you." Jason nodded as he turned to the other two Guardians who were walking over. "Time to settle in."


AN: Welcome to the end of the chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it. I would like to ask what you guys think of the main characters and the story line so far. I am enjoying writing this story but I don't really know what you guys really think about the characters. So any opinions on them?

KingArthur3: Yes, as you can see they will be having their sparrows but will not abuse them (They will ride horses. Cause horse) and i am undecided on weather or not to add their respective ships.
