Exiakaiser: Welcome back. Actually kinda figured this story would peak interests. Annoyed, mostly, but it seems to do well. Chapter 2 will focus on Eren and his 2 friends learning about the 100-year period in which they were asleep. However, at the same time, we introduce the first new OC for this story, and the Martial Drill Instructor of the BEAST Knights.

Beast Knight

Name: Arusa Stahlmann

Gender: Male

Age: 39

Occupation: BEAST Knight Vanguard Captain/instructor for self defense combat

Appearance: Fire tattoo on the whole face, wears the black hood of a fallen friend, three-day beard

Hair color: Dark blue

Hair style: Almost bald

Eye color: Black

Physical build: Very beefy due to his training with a great sword to the point that a punch with his fists can make bird wyverns like the Great Jaggi flinch.

Attire: Alternating, but always with the black hood

Armor: Lagiacrus armor

Weapon: Great Sword

Personality: Determined to protect those he leads and beyond, very observant against monsters, writes books about strategies against certain monsters to help the rookies, both sharp eye and mind in battle

Hobbies: Chess

Beast

Name: Nani

Species: Nerscylla

Gender: Female

Personality: Sarcastic, often resulting in a mock battle between Arusa and her. Very sharp minded and predictive. Fully trusts Arusa to the point of obeying without a second thought, probably a result of many hard-fought battles.

Their fighting style: First they observe the monster in his motions and weaknesses. During the observation, Arusa usually sends Nani away to prepare a net trap. After the observation, he punishes every move of the enemy and uses every momentum to carry victory. If that is not enough, Asura retreats to the net trap, where he and Nani attack relentlessly from two different sides if the enemy gets trapped. The mixture of raw power and dangerous poison is usually enough to defeat the enemy. Their defensive capabilities are the block from the greatsword and Nanis spider web.

This character is added, knowing that Monster Hunter Generations is just around the corner. However, we are still gonna focus on monsters from 4 Ultimate, seeing as this is focusing on the Mystery of the Frenzy Virus.

Also, the way a BEAST and Knight are bonded is gonna be revealed in this chapter. It may seem a little weird, but the process requires a small amount of blood, and a lot of willpower.

So, without further delay, let's get this show going already!

DISCLAIMER: Same as before!

"Where am I," thought, Eren, still dreaming. He stood in Shinganshima, as wind and ice flew around him. He looked to his left, and saw Armin covered in ice. He looked to his right, seeing Mikasa reaching out to him, while ice covered her body. He then looked forward, and saw a giant dragon, looking like it was covered in steel. It looked directly at hm, and fired a blast o ice right at him. "No," he thought, "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Eren woke up. He then sat up and looked around him. He was sitting in an infirmary, fully stocked. Eren then got up and took a step forward. He winced in pain at the same time, and realized he has not moved for a while. He then took 10 minutes to get used to moving around. When he was ready, he opened the door.

"Finally," said Armin, "You're up."

"What is this place," asked Eren, "It's immense." He then saw a group of mechanical creatures running past. They looked, for all intents and purposes, like robotic Jaggi.

Mikasa said nothing, but stood looking around.

"Welcome," said Rekka, "It would appear you guys are readjusted to moving around. Shall we get to the explanations, or would you like a bite to eat first?"

Episode 2

Reawakening!

The Three Scouts revived!

"This is so good," said Armin, taking another bite into the sandwich.

"Glad you like it," said Rekka, "Because I am sure you wish to know everything that has happened while you were asleep."

"By the way," said Eren, "How long were we asleep?"

"Well," said Melonia, walking into the barracks, "We better tell it to them straight. You were asleep for 1 day over 100 years."

Eren, who was sipping some seeped tea, suddenly spat it right back out in surprise. "WHAT? How did that happen?"

"We think it had something to do with your unique abilities," said Marcus, "You may have been able to protect your friends while in the ice by creating a strange membrane that protected the three of you from the ice in such a way that it lead to your body only being in a suspended hibernation. However, and I am speculating much of this as I go, it was a flawed activation, leading to your body being frozen to the point of not aging."

It took the trio a few minutes to understand that they had just outlived every last one of their friends and comrades. "So, what happened to the rest of the Scout Regiment," asked Eren.

"We only know that the Scout Regiment was disbanded almost 50 years ago," said Shin, "Most of them were able to live normal lives, except those that decided to stay in and join the Beast Knight's founding leaders. Levi, Jean, and Sasha, as well as 5 others, were responsible for the formation of our organization."

"Zoe Hange," said Mira, "Formed a tandem research group called the Hange Foundation, which spent most of its time creating our armor, weapons and BEASTs."

"BEASTs," asked Mikasa, "What are BEASTs?"

"Bio-mechanical Entity Anti-Titan/Monster Sybernetic Technology," said Melonia, "Imagine, a cybernetic Mount that could team up with you while you kill both Titans and Monsters. Wouldn't you like to have one as well?"

"I like that idea," said Armin, "Sign me up!"

"Where Eren Goes," said Mikasa, "I go."

Eren thought on it for a little bit and then said, "I originally wanted to kill all Titans. But now that I think about it, Both Monsters and Titans are Humanity's enemy. Sing me up."

"Excellent," said Melonia, "However, you will have to go through training. But don't go thinking that our training is anything like what you were used to. Get some rest. Tomorrow, you will be sent to the Armory."

-Next Morning-

The Armory was a facility that created Weapons and Armor for the BEAST Knight Corp. Formed by the Hange Foundation in the early days of the Battle with the Monsters, it was created to develop new weapons to give to cadets to train with.

Eren adjusted the Elite Switch Axe, as it was not really sitting well on his shoulders just yet. He would get used to it. He liked the feel of the Hunter's Armor he was wearing. It felt almost comfortable.

"Eren," said Armin, wearing Bnahabra armor, and carrying a Cross Bowgun, "They got everything here. They even gave me this 'Light Bowgun', and some free ammo. It's incredible, really. Now I can support you and Mikasa from a distance."

"That's so cool," said Eren, looking at the bullets.

Mikasa then walked out from the changing room, wearing Derring Armor, and wielding a Bone Staff on her back. On her right arm, hugging it like it would a tree, was a giant bug.

"W-W-W-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT," asked Armin, freaked out by how large the bug was.

"Oh," said the guy in charge of the Armory's recruit gear checkout desk, "That's a Kinsect. We first found them in the wood outside Wall Maria not long after you 3 disappeared. Don't worry, they won't harm ya. In fact, you use them in tandem with all Insect Glaives. They grant you am nice little ability boost by gathering juices from monsters."

"Good to know," said Mikasa, as the Kinsect buzzed, happily nestled on her arm.

"And now," said the Armory guy, "You now just have one last piece of prep…Bonding with a BEAST."

"Bonding," asked Armin.

-That afternoon-

Bonding- In the BEAST Knights, it means 'forming a direct link between a BEAST Knight and his chosen BEAST. The process is simple enough- A BEAST Knight recruit offers up a few drops of his blood, and concentrates on creating a telepathic link. In doing so a bond is formed between BEAST and Knight. However, this is a double-edged sword, for if the Knight dies, the BEAST goes into a rage, killing anything in the vicinity. If the BEAST dies, the Knight must wait till they find a worthy replacement.

The Ceremony for Bonding takes place in the BEAST Knight HQ, located within Wall Rose. Eren, Mikasa, and Armin all wore a specially designed Ceremonial Garb which represented Mankind.

"Here," said the Guy in charge of the BEASTs, "We first must have you pick out a BEAST. Choose wisely, as it will be your partner for the rest f your time with us."

Armin was amazed at the different species they saw, and chose a Gigginox.

Gigginox- a Flying Wyvern that emits both a Poison, and an Egg Sac capable of releasing dozens of hatchlings called Giggi. It is also able to flip itself upside down and hang from the ceiling of any caven/cave, and is able to stretch its neck a good distance, and throw poison volleys.

Mikasa chose a Tigrex. She liked that is was fast, and the fact that it looked like it could do some damage.

Tigrex- WARNING- do not approach in the wild, as these Flying Wyverns are extremely dangerous. The will fling rocks, which knock down targets, and can even run up walls. In a frenzied state, they will sometimes unleash a roar that does damage itself, causing internal bleeding, especially in the ears.

Eren watched as Armin and Mikasa went to perform their bonding. However, he had a hard time deciding which monster to pick. However, as he was about to give up, he heard a loud crashing noise. It came from behind him…in a closed-off paddock. He took a look inside.

All of a sudden, a slime-covered fist struck the gate. Eren looked at the slime and wondered what it was. However, over time, it changed color from green to orange to red. Then, for some reason, the slime exploded, sending Eren flying about 2 feet. "What the hell," asked Eren, looking at the sign, "This is a Brachydios."

Brachydios- a Brute Wyvern with a unique look to it. Its head, and arms, end in stubs and are covered in a strange slime. If this slime comes into contact with anything else, it goes off like a bomb. When Enraged, it goes off almost instantly the moment the slime touches the ground.

"Be careful," said the Guy responsible for the BEASTs, "That Brachydios is still unstable. We are trying to figure out what's wrong with it."

"I can tell you what's wrong," said Eren, approaching it, "It wants to get out. It seeks to move freely on its own, without restraints. It seeks a way to live freely in the world."

"I take it that you seek to bond with it," asked the BEAST Knight Commander, Vanguard Captain Arusa Stahlmann. He was here to oversee the new recruits, and to ell them, after the bonding process, to head over to the training barracks. "Brachdiyos' make great partners for almost anyone. They are strong, and can do tons of damage, but at the same time, they are hard to control. Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a Flying Wyvern?"

"No, I'm sure," said Eren, approaching the Brachydios. However, something amazing occurred when he got close. It seemed to calm down almost immediately.

-10 minutes later-

Eren and the Brachydios became bonded and 10 minutes later, stepped out of the Bonding chamber, with Eren on its back. "So," said Eren, anyone wanna take on some Monsters and Titans?"

"Not so fast," said Arusa, approaching on his BEAST, a Nerscylla.

Nerscylla- a Neopteon that looks like a giant spider. It spins its webs so that it can catch its prey, and then stings with a sedative agent, before biting into them with a pair of toxin-carrying pair of jaws. It's spines carry the same toxic agent, and can drip them when the Nerscylla hangs upside down.

"You now need to train, and to do that, You will come with me," said Arusa.

-Next Day-

"Being a BEAST Knight is no easy task," said Arusa, who was not only the Vanguuard Captain of the BEAST Knight 1st Division's 2nd Squad, but also the acting Self-defense combat Instructor, "There will be many times when you have to fight your way out of a situation. You have your weapon for several situations like that, but you also need to hone your own proverbial edges. To that end, you will be training here for about 1 year straight. I want you and your BEAST to become familiar with the basics."

For the next week, Eren and the rest of the 63rd Recruitment Class trained not only in self defense, but in several other areas, from proper BEAST Riding, to the basic mechanics of using their specific weapons. Eren became adept at using the Switch Axe, both in axe form, and in Sword form. His movements seemed almost inhuman, and his strikes seemed to be too well-honed. By the end of the first month, Eren could not only have full mastery of how a Switch axe worked, but be able to even stagger a Titan the size of the Colossal Titan with a well-placed swing.

Mikasa learned how to look for Nectars to upgrade and enhance the Kinsect, leading the Insect Glaive to get upgraded along the way. By the end of the first month, she was able to strike both Monsters and Titans from impossible angles, creating wounds hat no other weapon could create, or in some cases, multiple wounds.

Armin learned how to hit targets from a distance with the Light Bowgun, as well as how to combine and created health items and additional ammunition out in the wild. By the end of the first month, Armin was not only adept at the usage of his weapon, but also able to support any teammates on the field with a well-placed healing shot, a demon round, or an armor round.

-1 month later-

"Nice to see you recruits have learned how to use your weapons well," said the head instructor, "But now comes the next step, learning how to work alongside your BEAST. To that end, you all will be split up and sent to hunt different monsters inside Wall Maria. You and your BEAST will be working alone for the majority of this mission. Be careful. We still don't know much about these monsters. There might end up being a Game changer and a more dangerous Monster could show up. If that happens, tag both monsters and get the hell out of there."

The recruits then received a paper, detailing where they are supposed to go, and which monster to hunt. Armin got an easy one- hunt 5 Velociprey, while Mikasa got the task of hunting a Pack of Jaggi, Jagia, and a Great Jaggi. Eren on the other hand…

"The Yian Kut-ku that is causing trouble just outside of Wall Rose," said Mikasa, surprised he got the more difficult one. It was dinnertime, and the meal was burgers, cooked from a fire generated by a Rathalos, fries made with same heat, and using vegetable oil harvested with help from a Nibblesnarf.

"You sure you can handle it, Eren," asked Armin. "That thing is pretty tough."

"Me and Sledgehammer can handle it," said Eren. Sledgehammer was the nickname of the Brachydios.

Outside the Barracks, Arusa and Nani, his Nerscylla were listening on the recruits. "Stupid boy," said Nani, "As if he will have an easy time with the Kut-ku."

"Never doubt their tenacity," said Arusa, smiling, "Those two might be able to turn the tide, and bring the thing down even easier than we expect."

-Next Day-

The Recruits went to their requested positions and took to the hunt. Armin was the first to complete his task, taking down each Velociprey in less than a minute. He even got enough parts to craft a second bowgun, the Easy Shot.

Mikasa took longer, but was able to get enough parts to upgrade the Bone Staff by a single level. Her understanding of the Insect Glaive and her Kinsect was top notch, and her use of the Tigrex, named Spinner, proved almost inhumanly tactful.

Eren, on the other hand, was having a hard time finding his target. It seemed to switch between attacking the wall with its huge beak, and just flying around. It was acting weird.

However, Eren was being patient, camping out in front of the Wall. However, after 3 days, his wait was over…

All of a sudden, the Kut-ku landed. Eren was hidden, and Sledgehammer was waiting for the signal to attack. However, the Kut-ku then walked differently, which set Eren off. That was when he noticed a strange dark dragon appear nearby. "What the," thought Eren. However, he made no move to strike, and waited a little while. Suddenly, the strange black dragon left, and the Kut-ku suddenly looked right at Eren. "Dammit," he thought, and rushed right at the Kut-ku.

However, Eren suddenly felt really sick. "What is this stuff," he asked, looking around him. As if the Kut-ku wasn't bad enough, he was noticing a mass of black scales where he was standing. "It's as if I am getting angry…"

"Calm yourself, Eren," said Sledgehammer, "It's the Frenzy Virus. Get a nullberry out of your pack and eat it. Once you do, you will have enough time to become immune."

Eren obeyed, taking a nullberry from out of his pouch, and ate it. He felt a little better, and then turned to face the Frenzied Kut-ku.

-To be Continued-

Next Time:

Eren struggles to defeat the Yian Kut-Ku before he becomes fully infected. After he returns, the next step of his training begins. Will the Advanced training regimen be overcome by the 3 new recruits? Find out next time:

Frenzy Discovered!

Training Completed!

Hange Society Monster Compendium!

Neopterons!

This is Zoe Hange with the Monster Compendium! Today we look at those bugs called Neopterons! These monsters are usually a general classification of all arthropods in this world. They can be small, like a Vespoid or Bnahabra, or massive like the Seltas Queen or Nerscylla. However, just because the y come in all shapes and sizes, do not underestimate them! The smaller ones can sting you, leaving you paralyzed. This can be a pain if you are dealing with other monsters, or even collecting gear for stronger weapons or armor.

Exiakaiser: Well, that one is done. That's 2 down. We now have to deal with the Frenzied monsters in this story more often, and the mysterious dragon will be revealed not too long from now.

So, yeah, let's al enjoy this series. Also, if you are an Attack on Titan and/or Monster Hunter Fan, you can design an OC that will add to the story, scope, and even the ways of this world. To that end, I will now reveal the OC Template for this story:
