My cosmic friend
Harry and Hanji re-joined the rest of the scouts for lunch. Hanji managed to pass off her look as being relatively more dishevelled than normal. Levi, shrugged but didn't comment. What his colleagues did was their business as long as it didn't jeopardise them in the field.
"Physical go all right?" He asked, noticing a similar look.
Harry shrugged "As well as it could, before the needles and various other things. Rather hands on."
Those in on double speak gagged and choked on their food. Krista, stood up on her seat and clipped Harry around the back of his head "How could you…" She hissed. She would have been more upset but she knew he had just gotten his body back, this sought of thing was going to happen.
"Annoyed because it wasn't you His? Ow! Ow! Not the ear. Should never have taught you the cripple ear."
Reiner shook his head "What did Hanji need you to do?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? Tests and stuff…She mainly needed me to decrypt her books."
"On?"
"Titans, Eren, Titans, myself, sorcery…Because Krista helped restore me to a body, what else can I bring to the table and what else can I provide the Scouts." Harry replied.
"What do you bring to the table?" Asked Eren curiously.
"Glowing personality, 100% recklessness and utter disregard for laws of physics and nature if need be."
There was stone silence, the only sound was terse breathing and the sound of beating hearts "What do you mean disregard for Laws of Physics and Nature?" Asked Erwin.
"What goes up comes down right. Your flight time is completely dependent on the amount of gas you have in your tanks right?"
"I make what goes up stay up if I wish. I can double, treble or even quadruple the amount of gas in your tanks, meaning much longer flight time. I can slow the dulling of your blades, double edge them, meaning, wear out one side, turn the blades around and wear out the other…If push comes to shove, I can always raise the dead."
"Coming from the fact you were raised from the dead…" Began Reiner.
"I had a RESTORATION. My soul had not passed on. I was trapped in a stone which kept me alive. When you made my body, you dropped the stone into it. That dissolved my home, and bound me to this body. There are two forms of restoration: physical and spiritual. The most common is spiritual."
Oluo spoke "How do you mean more common?"
Harry sighed and grabbed Mikasa "You're going to have to trust me…Levi, I need your help."
Levi nodded, Harry looked at the scouts "Bewege diesen, raum in geistiges reich!" The room darkened and the walls became slightly more transparent.
"Welcome to the spiritual realm. It's a mirror realm of earth…one of three. But it'll suit my purpose for now."
With that Harry turned back to Mikasa "I know we haven't got to know each other."
Mikasa shook her head "That doesn't sound right considering what else you've been saying."
Harry shrugged and grinned "Touché, anyway…do you trust me? If not, I can always use someone else…For this experiment."
Mikasa nodded "You can. What are you going to do?"
"Pull your spirit and soul out of your body, parade it around and then shove it back into you…It's going to feel like shit."
Mikasa nodded "Understood…How long for?"
"Two minutes max."
Mikasa stood with her back to Levi, "Befreien sie den geist, lassen sie die seele, Machen sie sichtbar!" (Free the spirit, release the soul, make them visible). Harry punched Mikasa with an open hand, with the fingers bent making it look like claw straight into the stomach.
Mikasa's eyes widened and she went to bend double but found herself paralysed. The second strike caught her in the chest just below her heart. Mikasa's body took on greyish tinge and slowly began to fall.
"As you see, I have in my right hand Mikasa's spirit and in my left her soul…No touching…I feel shite even handling hers."
They nodded "Oluo, a spiritual restoration or restitution as it may also be called is simply the returning of the soul…" Left hand strike to the faint mark and they watched as Harry's hand entered Mikasa and left empty handed. "…To the body and rebinding of the spirit." The spirit was then shoved back in.
Mikasa convulsed, Levi caught her. Mikasa went to her knees, trying to vomit. Harry dropped in front of her and placed his hands on her shoulders "Mikasa, look at me. Look at me, Mikasa."
Blearily she did so "Feeling like shit? Vision blurry? Feel like you've been drinking spirits? Body feels heavy and like someone has been taking body shots off you? Don't try and talk, you're gonna sound like drunken sailor and move like one."
"Can you get us out of here?"
"Ruckkehr!" Incanted Naruto and the room shifted back to normal.
"Any more examples?"
Erwin nodded "A few but first the Military Police are coming."
No-one liked the look on his face. But many were looking forward to seeing the Military Police get a lashing from their latest muse.
Meanwhile, Reiner and Bertolt panicked; Harry knew something but they didn't know what. They needed to ensure that he wouldn't blow their cover. In Bertolt's case it didn't help that Reiner was suffering from Schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Harry sighed "What do they want?"
"Measure are supplies, try and take some of our best…I think they'll have an eye on Mikasa." Said Levi.
Harry nodded "Aren't the Police the smallest unit?"
"No. Scouts are. But Military Police are the most inept."
Harry grinned "So I could accident one or two of them."
Krista's hand shot out, Harry dodged. But Mikasa's hand caught him at the base of the neck and sent him into the table "No killing colleagues."
"Military Police are not colleagues! They're waste of space and flesh…They're corrupt as hell." Protested Eren.
Harry grinned "Sounds like the cops from home. They lock you up on some fucked charge that sounds like it came from their shit?"
Eren shook his head "The garrison did…Well Weilman did."
Harry looked at him "Eren, I see a lot me in you. What did you do?"
"He emerged from a Titan. We thought he was dead, then he became a Titan and then went on a rampage. We were almost killed. Stuff happened and Levi beat the shit out of him in the court room."
Harry turned to Levi, who nodded "I respect you for that…Now, I suggest that I go a walkabout with Krista during the their visit."
Just then a member of the Scouts under Hanji's direct command came rushing in "Military Police are here. They just let themselves in."
Harry ignited a fireball in his hand "Let's say hi to the colleagues with the amoral newcomer."
"Are you completely insane? Do you have any concern about letting people live?" Exclaimed Jaune.
Harry turned on him "I accidentally killed a dog that was trying to bite me when I was nine. I killed my first human when I was eleven, I killed a snake about the size of this Colossal Titan you mention, which had skin like the armoured titan; that same day I killed its controller. Over the next five to six years I must have killed at least thirty to forty people, through combat, murder and self-defence. I must have indirectly caused at least double that. I was born and bred for war and to be a martyr, some martyr. So Jaune Egmont Kirstein, yes I am insane, you could probably say I'm a psycho sociopath and if they are hindering my job…keeping you miserable bastards alive then yes, I will kill MPs. My only concern is, who will help me dispose of the bodies."
