A Devil Among Titans Chapter 5: Titan vs Devil.
A/N: I will be referring to her as the Female Titan until she is revealed later. Because spoilers. :P Anyway let me know if I'm writing characters ooc.
Oluo watched in horror from the trees as the Female Titan ran towards his squad mate.
"Petra!"
The ginger haired woman stared in fear at the foot coming at her. 'This is it.' She thought as she closed her eyes and waited for death. She didn't feel her body being squashed but her legs were swept from under her as she was carried away at incredible speeds. She opened an eye and looked up to see her savior. A white haired man with an arrogant smirk dressed in red. "You know." He said, whether or it was to the titan, her or himself, nobody really knew. "Stepping on pretty ladies is one of the few things that really get on my nerves." The titan, Oluo and Petra all stared at the new comer with surprise.
"Wha...how was he able to move that fast!?" Oluo asked, "And without any gear too!"
Dante set the shocked Petra down onto the ground "Nice to meet ya." He said while grinning "I'm Dante we should go out for pizza someti-" He was cut off as the Female Titan smashed her fist into Dante and pushed him up against the tree. Oluo's jaw dropped and Petra could only turn slowly to see the massive arm a few inches away from her. They thought he was dead for sure but the slight shaking of the Titan's fist showed them otherwise. "I-I don't believe it..." The veteran soldier muttered "Nobody could've survived that..."
In between a fist and a hard place, Dante managed to block the blow with his massive sword and slowly began to push the fist off of him. "This one's much stronger." He noted as he managed to push the fist to the side before resting Rebellion over his shoulders.
Eren Yeager dropped in and onto a tree branch, clearly taken back by what he had just witnessed. Oluo took this opportunity to whisk Petra away from the impending battle and set her aside next to Eren.
"W-Who is this guy?" Yeager asked, looking to Oluo for an answer. The older man just shook his head "If I knew, kid. I wouldn't be standing here looking like this."
Dante pointed his sword at the Titan "I challenge you, vile beast, to a duel!" He said, mimicking the voice of a chivalrous hero. The Titan wasted no time and accepted his challenge with another swift punch, this time with a hardened crystal shell around it. Dante smirked and brought Rebellion up to deflect it, causing the fist to go sideways and up in the air. This action earned the half demon more surprised gasps and looks from the three spectators looking on by the trees.
Haichou Levi soon joined with Mikasa following right behind the short man.
"Why the hell are you shitheads just standing here like idiots when there's a goddamn titan in front of you?" The corporal asked looking very irritated. "Sir." Petra said, still looking at the fight "Look." Levi glanced down at what she was looking at and arched an eyebrow. 'He's holding his own against this Titan?' He thought to himself 'And without a 3DMG too?'
Mikasa stood next to the young Titan-shifter."Eren, are you alright?" She asked, concern lining her voice. He turned to her and nodded slowly, too speechless to comment about how he wasn't her baby brother.
Dante chuckled and dodged another punch while simultaneously jumping onto her shoulder. "Come on now. We gotta make a good show for the crowd here." He delivered a Beowulf enhanced punch at the Female Titan's face causing it to snap its head back and stumble backwards slightly.
"Did you see that?" Oluo asked everyone."That guy toppled a titan with his fist!"
The Female Titan looked quiet frustrated, still figuring out how this white haired human could outmatch her while in Titan form. She couldn't think any further as said 'human' jumped in the air and delivered a devastating roundhouse kick to the right side of her face, causing her to get launched a moderate distance before skidding on the ground and taking a few trees down with her. The titan scrambled on her feet and stood up straight. She glared angrily before charging at him again. Dante repelled her again by sending a dragon kick at her abdomen which launched the Female Type back into a tree. She scrambled onto her feet and shakily stood up. The Titan backed away slowly before turning away to run, being smart enough to know when defeat was for certain.
Dante didn't bother chasing, knowing that there was very different from the other Titans. Beowulf disappeared in wisps of white light before he looked up at the group of on lookers. "Finally! Some people!" He called out to them. They hesitated for a moment before they all jumped down infront of him.
Levi was the first to speak since the others seemed to be too shocked to talk. "Who the hell are you, and why is your hair shaped like a mop?"
Dante opened his mouth as if he was about to say something but a grumbling sound shook the area.
"The hell was that?" Oluo asked. All of them, except for Dante, began scanning the area for any more titans.
"That...would be my stomach..." Dante said, giving them a sheepish grin. The five humans gave the half demon an exasperated look.
"I don't give a Damn if you're starving. You still haven't told us who you are." The short corporal said, narrowing his eyes in distaste for the newcomer.
Dante pointed a thumb to his chest "The name's Dante and I'm..." He didn't want to give away too much. After all, he had just met the bunch and there weren't any demons in this world so he couldn't tell him he hunted those for a living. "A...I'm unemployed."
Oluo spoke "If you're lookin for work, you should join the Survey Corps. We could use someone with your skills."
Levi sent a sideways glance at his subordinate, showing his dislike at the offer given to the half demon. "We still only know very little about you" The corporal said "Come with us back to the Walls for analysis." He offered "Or stay here and starve with Titans constantly on your back."
This was probably the easiest decision Dante had ever had to make...
-Later-
The Survey Corps managed to retreat to the Karanese District within the Walls. Although there were many fallen in the carts, the load was lessened by two thanks to a certain half demon. A crowd of people, some families and friends of the Survey Corps, were there to greet them. Most of them however gave disappointed looks at what seemed to be another failure for the most dangerous branch of Military. There were a few eyes that strayed onto the white-haired newcomer.
"Who is he?" The people among the crowds eyed him in curiosity.
"Where'd they get this guy?"
"What's his name?"
"That big sword looks way too big to carry!"
Levi huffed before an elderly man approached him nervously. "Ah corporal. I was hoping I could see my daughter. Oh er...sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm , Petra's father. And I was wondering if.."
"Father!" Petra's glum mood was brightened by the sight of her father. She acted like a little girl whenever she was near her old man.
"Petra darling! I've missed you! Tell me what happened on your was it? Did you meet anyone special?"
The voices around Levi began to die down as he watched the two converse, happy that one of his best survived. His lips curved slightly into a very obscure smile. "We lucked out." A voice behind him said. A voice that belonged to Oluo "If that Dante fellow wasn't there Petra over there wouldnt be hear with her dad."
"I still don't trust him." The shorter man replied.
"Me neither. He seems like a goof on the outside but he's definitely hiding something. And the thing that scares me the most was the way he was fighting that damn female type."
The corporal raised an eyebrow at Oluo" What do you mean?" He asked.
"What I mean is that the guy didn't seem like he was trying. Like he wasn't serious when he went toe to toe with that thing."
Levi thought about his Subordinate's remarks before trailing his eye at the man dressed in red who was currently getting asked a bunch of questions by the younger members of the Corps. "I'm definitely going to keep a close eye on that mop headed bastard."
A/N: Well that's it for now. Tune in for more chapters. I also have pairings that I need to put in but I'm still thinking about who I should pair with who :P. Welp, I guess we shall see later.
