Eren's POV
The surrounding trees were nearly impossible to dodge, yet no one had crashed yet. I turned to face Corporal Levi and shouted, "Why do these Titans matter so much? They aren't anywhere near Wall Rose." He ignored me and continued on through the forest. "So what if they look like wolves? If anything, we should stay away from them so that they can't track us."
Armin responded for our leader. "If they look like wolves, then they could potentially be tamed. If we can tame even one, then we could have another Titan as a weapon. But you are right, Eren. Their fur will provide extra protection from our blades if they attack. That's why we brought Annie with us." He turned to the Female Titan and smiled. Yeah, thats why, I thought sarcastically.
Suddenly, a massive, furry hand swatted at us, hitting Mikasa out of the air with a glancing blow. "Mikasa!" Sasha shrieked. I swooped down and caught my friend. I joined everyone on a tree branch and let Mikasa back onto her feet. Below us stood our prize: a Wolf Titan. The Aberrant looked up at us with glowing green eyes, then howled. Within second we were surrounded by at least ten of the bastards
"Dammit!" I shouted. Levi sped off toward one and hacked at it's neck. The Titan reached up to grab him, but he got to its neck just in time and killed it. The others immediately lost interest in us, then walked over to the fallen Titan and seemed to be mourning. "What the hell?"
Everyone stared in amazement as the Titans carried their fallen kin to the shade of a tree and covered it with leaves. Then their eyes turned red and they turned their attention back to us, snarling with more anger than before. "They're more like wolves than we thought," Armin breathed. "Wolves treat members of their pack as family, and never forgive anyone who harms one of them unless the leader does."
Connie jumped back as one of the Titans jumped and almost grabbed the branch. "In other words, they'll be pissed unless we befriend the leader," Historia said. "We just have to find it."
"Done," Zoe said hestitantly. She pointed to what at first seemed to be a big rock, but with our new view pont was revealed to be a massive skelatal muzzle. An eight meter Titan was knawing on it. "It must have fallen asleep because it couldn't see any light, so it hasn't regenerated what the other Titans have eaten." The Titan removed its jaws from the skull, then rushed at the Aberrants. To our suprise, one of the Wolves picked it up and sank its teeth into the smaller Titan's neck, severing the head and breaking through the weak spot. The body was then hurled at us, forcing us to climb to a higher branch.
"You guys seem to be in some deep shit," a familiar voice called. I turned to see Reiner and Bertolt, along with a hooded figure, standing in a nearby tree. The hooded figure then revealed a knife and plunged it into his hand. He exploded in orange lightning, creating a large, skinless Titan with black hair and bone-like blades replacing its hands. "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce my big brother, Jake. Like me, he doesn't mind eating humans, so he plans on taking the Coordinate's powers for himself." Jake roared, but was cut off by a loud rumbling. We looked up the mountain, but didn't see any sign of a rockslide.
Suddenly, the ground exploded and the previously sleeping pack leader erupted from the ground and pounced on the Shifter. This Titan had two significant differences from the rest of the pack: he was a twenty meter class and he had two horns perched on top of his head that curved forward, perfect for stabbing into a larger or even slightly smaller opponent. The two thrashed on the ground, but the pack leader quickly gained the upper hand. Jake eventually threw it off and took off running, but the twenty meter was stopped by a human landing on its muzzle. Reiner shouted at the person. "Ymir! What the hell do you think your doing?"
Our old friend threw herself in front of one of the Titan's eyes, then strangely began to shout at it. "Damian, is that you?" The Titan stopped and stared at her. "Damian, it's me, Ymir. Don't you remember? You helped me steal the Titan power." It growled, then flicked Ymir off and continued after Jake. Reiner and Bertolt followed after it.
Historia jumped off and caught Ymir, then returned. Zoe was the first to start questioning her. "Why were you trying to talk to it? And why did you call it Damian?"
Ymir explained how the Titan we had just seen could be a friend of hers that had helped her steal the Titan power. "We got separated while we were breaking in and I got captured, so I tried transforming, but lost control. Damian was better at stuff like this, so he probably at least made it out before he had to transform. I could be wrong, but I have to at least try to save him."
Sasha interjected. "But I thought that Titans could only become Shifters if they ate another one?" Silence followed.
"Let's hope that Bertolt isn't too attatched to his brother then," Levi said coldly. We followed after the Behemoth Titan, as Armin decided to call it, but found that it didn't need any help. It had already torn off Jake's arms and was trying to bite into his neck. Bertolt yelled in anger and used his Maneuver Gear to try and get at "Damian's" neck to kill it, but Levi flung one of his blades, severing the wire and sending the boy crashing into the ground. Reiner caught him and retreated.
The Behemoth Titan finally caught Jake's neck in his jaws, then bit the entire thing off and swollowed it. The Blade Titan's corpse fell to the ground and began to evaporate, then the Behemoth followed suit. We all made our way down to the fading Titan and found a raven haired boy about my age sliding out of a gash under the fur. Me and Levi each grabbed an arm and pulled him out, causing Historia and Sasha to shriek and all of the girls to cover their eyes. His clothes hadn't survived the sixty years.
