My cosmic friend
Krista looked towards the sound of the savage roar as a swarm of titans came charging towards them. Never before had she felt so vulnerable and without the reassurance of her friend.
"We just had to keep them out of the forest correct?" Krista asked. Ymir who was nearby, nodded. Reiner unsheathed his blades "Your friend could be useful about now."
Krista nodded "But that veteran scout stopped any potential assistance at this point. It took me months too even get him to help me through training. He didn't do much all he did was be that voice in my ear to keep me going just a little bit more."
The new scouts nodded "So he's like family to you?"
Krista nodded "Yeah, through me letting him out he can remain longer and longer in this world but it comes at a price."
The scout commander of their unit looked at her, eyes hard "What is the price?"
Krista smirked "Anything and everything. Harry calls it Cause and Effect, Action and Reaction, Something of Value for Something of Value…But we settle on stories, information and just now a deal."
"What is the deal?" Growled the scout and as he went to grab Krista, the stone glowed a bright white. A bone white, ethereal and spectral hand erupted out of Krista's chest and effortlessly picked the Scout up by the front of his uniform.
Harry appeared surrounding Krista like an ethereal body armour "Take your hand away from her otherwise you'll become Titan bait. Believe me it'll be remarkably easy for us to crack a branch and make it look like you sacrificed yourself for the new recruits."
The scout gulped "Okay." He backed away and found himself phasing through the arm. Harry moved and to everyone's surprise he vanished. Suddenly a skeleton appeared, then it was coated in muscle. Sasha, Krista and Mikasa couldn't help but watch as bits of male anatomy materialised into existence as the muscle and cartilage appeared in the body and wrapped around it. Then came the blood vessels from the capillaries, arteries and veins and finally finishing it off was the emergence of the skin, eyes and hair.
Harry joined them in existence and popped his neck "Sorry about that. Hey, Krista. Brainbox, Shithouse, Horse."
Jean cracked his knuckles "What do you mean by the others?" Asked Armin as he stepped in front of Reiner.
Harry grinned "Armin, you're a genius and use your mind a lot thus Brainbox. Reiner on the other hand; look at him! 6ft, muscled and broad. Thus built like a brick shithouse. Only one that thinks. Believe me I've me shithouses that are nothing but shit. Oh and Horse, Jean no offence your face looks like one. You're probably the most decent guy in the world but you're going to get the piss taken out of you for your face. Now hi. I'm Harry. Currently I'm an out of body guy who knows how to assist you."
The scout nodded "So how are you able to materialise like? Shouldn't a veteran scout like myself have to control you?"
Harry's eyes flashed dark green "Fuck you. Anyway I'm looking for an Eren Yeager and a Mikasa Ackerman?"
Mikasa stood up and unsheathed her blades "What do you want from me and Eren?"
"You, blood. Eren a hand and Armin, I'm going to need a brain sample." Harry replied nonchalantly.
Mikasa felt disgust rollinh through her "Why do you need those things?"
Harry sighed "Krista has agreed to make me my body. I have the soul of the body already. Now I just need suitable parts from people that suit my temperament…"
"You look a lot like Eren. Wiry, muscled and pretty quick." Harry grinned at Jean.
"That's why I need Eren's hand. Separate the blood, muscle and flesh. Bone will give me the body, the muscle will garb it. Mikasa's blood is that of a warrior or berzerker suiting my warrior heart and Jean, you've seen what I can do."
"And Armin?" Asked Bertolt. He got the first two but didn't get Armin.
"There has to be a brain to control the other two…Now aren't we supposed to be stopping those Titans?"
The group looked and they saw the Titans slowly make their way up the tree. Krista gave Harry pleading look, he strode over and he looked at the Titan climbing the tree "I was wrong…They hit every ugly branch on the way down…FULMINATA!"
The Titan fried. Harry kicked off the tree going upwards. Krista concentrated as did Harry and the spectral being became what could almost be considered flesh and blood and he etched some weird symbols in the air.
Krista's eyes widened she understood that configuration it basically read 'Raijin's dismissal'. "Everyone brace yourself!" She shouted firing off her gear and attached herself to a pair of branches shortly followed by the others as a set of lightning bolts pulverised the Titans into ash.
Harry floated up, sweat coating his body which was rapidly turning incorporeal "If you have no need of me Krista…I'll see you…" Suddenly they were caught off by the sound of rolling thunder.
(Forest)
Hanji smirked as she descended onto the pathway. A mad glint in her eye as she rattled off all the things she was going to do to the Female Titan. Hanji cackled as the Titan's pupil dilated in horror. Suddenly the Titan let out a titanic roar.
(Squad Levi)
Eren and the Elite members of the Scout Division. Typically known as Levi Squad were waiting a ways down for Levi to return. Oluo took the time to berate Eren on his lack of well…everything. "Oluo…Pack it in. Quit berating Eren. He's done well so far, if anything the only thing he should not have done is listen to you." Snapped Gunther.
Eren nodded to Gunther in thanks. "If the Commander was about luring that thing into a trap why didn't inform you?"
Petra who thought Eren as her little brother. Her volatile, titan shifting little brother narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you implying the Commander and Captain Levi don't trust us."
"Rip the little shits teeth out Petra! He can grow them back." Snarled Oluo losing his cool.
"Oluo, I'll knock yours out and YOU CAN'T regrow them. Eren's making some sense." Growled Eld Jinn from his position of leaning against the tree.
"Eld Jinn tell us what the hell is going on." Said Gunther, not taking his eyes off Oluo. He hated it when Oluo got all paranoid, it made him less unpleasant than his normal lack of pleasantness. Gunther respected Oluo and even like him, but put up with him for any prolonged period of time…Even Petra got tired of him.
"I'm guessing that after Hanji's experiments were killed the Commander thought a spy was apparent in the Scouts…He also suspects that if Eren, the Colossal and Armoured Titans are shifter then that female Titan is one."
Gunther gulped "Is that true?"
Jinn shrugged "Could be. I'd imagine the only ones involved were those have managed to stay alive for the past five years."
That statement calmed everything even Oluo. "Eren you understand now? Commander's assuming that when the first wall fell, someone infiltrated the us or the military and he's narrowing it down."
Eren nodded "I get it…When did you guys join?"
Petra smirked "Bit forward…Kidding. Oluo joined scouts two years before Gunther and Eld. Those two were in their third year of training before I started training and I finished training just before you started."
Eren nodded "Woah didn't realise that in training classes we were quite close, that experience definitely proves that. Sorry for sounding whiney."
Gunther snorted "Don't worry about it. In all honesty you shouldn't be with us. You should have joined with your friends and we didn't expect to be saddled with a kid like you. I swear you've got different personalities. Calm, Whiney, Blood Thirsty."
Eren snorted at that "Yeah…I'll work on it."
(Krista)
Nanaba looked at the stone Krista was holding and the floating Harry "You control him?"
"Less control love. More assist in return for getting a body back. Being disembodied and having a body both have ups and downs. Disembodiment very much obvious strengths and weaknesses as are the strengths and weaknesses of being in flesh." Harry turned to Krista.
"Krista, I know I said I'd never make you write those runes…I need you to. Something's about to happen and if I can prevent or even minimalise casualties then it'd be awesome." Krista gulped.
"It won't break will it?"
"No…It'll give me close to 25% of my raw power, 35% theoretical knowledge and 18% practical power." Krista nodded and unsheathed her blade.
(Levi Squad)
"You'll understand why Erwin is entrusted with humanity's hope." Explained Jinn.
"Only if you live long enough." Said Oluo darkly.
(Levi)
"Your limbs…your human limbs will grow back won't they? I mean we need you alive." Levi said sadistically. Just then the female Titan screamed.
(Krista)
Harry landed on the branch with a groan. "Damn that's going to leave a mark…Krista I'll see you later. If it's Green I'm still kicking. Yellow is trouble and Red, I've been eaten and White, I'm back."
(Harry)
Harry quickly pulled out a pair of wings and took flight. He closed his eyes and he began to scan for magic similar to that of the Titans. He then heard it a roar of a trapped creature with nothing to lose.
(Levi)
Levi shredded through three titans in one spiral of death. But a midget Titan probably about three metres began to munch on their prey's knee. Then he saw something zoom in.
(Harry)
Harry looked down and sighed, he pulled his wand out and murmured 'confringo ordinal maxima'. The scouts halted as pillar of red light split into four and slammed into the ground vaporising some Titans and propelling Scouts towards their targets.
Harry landed on the female Titan's head and began blasting away. Levi and a few scouts were going to comment but withheld it as the lights took the heads and weak spots apart like a knife through butter.
Suddenly the Titans got to close, Harry spun and reappeared with a crack next to Erwin as he ordered the retreat. "Who are you? What do you want? What was that?"
Harry snorted "A friend, a physical body, magic…Now I'm looking for one Eren Yeager."
Levi was next to them in a flash "You're not going to have him."
"Either you tell me where he is or you lose your Elite Squad AND Eren runt. Now where is Eren Yeager? I swear on my life that your squad and Eren will not die during or after my meeting with them."
Levi nodded "North. Five minutes flight."
Harry nodded and took off.
(Levi Squad)
They saw the smoke and as they departed they began to joke with each other "ELD! I DID NOT PISS MYSELF!" Screeched Petra indignantly and Oluo brought up his kill count.
They heard the beating of wings and halted as Harry came clattering down on them.
