So...You might be a little confused by the end of the last chapter, but It'll become clear in this chapter or the next. I don't know, I don't predict the future. Also, I actually realized that I had rushed Chapter 1 a little, so I might edit it again soon, after I publish this chapter, so don't be surprised if Chapter 5 is going to take the longest to be published. So, enjoy. ;)
"Let's begin the trial..."
Those were the first words Michael heard in the courtroom. All he knew, was that he passed out from a lot of blood loss. He couldn't believe that they would still do it. He only had one last option. To abandon everything, and everyone for as long as he could. His face was extremely emotionless, even more as normal, and he just stared forward. He was so calm, that it was ridiculous in a situation like this, especially being the one who's getting hate.
"So," Darius Zackly said, "Let's hear the two opinions on this case." The Military Police were first, saying that Eren and Michael were dangerous to be alive, and that they should be executed. Then, the Scouting Legion said that they would take them both on an Expedition outside the walls, and achieve something new. When they said that, Michael tilted his head at Commander Erwin and Captain Levi, and then looked back in front of himself. He started to quietly chuckle. Darius picked this up in an instant. "Michael," Darius said, "What's so funny? You are being chosen between life and death." Michael started laughing madly, then he suddenly stopped.
"You don't see the point, do you?" Michael asked, "There is no proof of me controlling, or even touching the titan. Just because it looks like me, it doesn't mean I controlled it." There was dead silence in the court. "My fucking legs had been clipped on the side of the building, so I couldn't move, and they haven't healed like Eren." Then Darius got annoyed, and decided to move onto him.
"So," Darius said, "Your life before the fall of Wall Maria. What was it like?" Michael's face was still. "I said, what was it like?" Michael's mouth opened slightly, then closed. He started sweating. "How about we start with something else. There are people suspecting that you are Bloody Michael, a repeated assassin. Are you?" Michael showed a smile.
"Yes," He replied, "I was the assassin, until I got bored of it. But I made a lot of money." He let a small grin escape. Everyone noticed. There were small gasps that erupted around the room, and Darius lowered his glasses. Michael slowly narrowed his eyes. He looked at Eren on his left, for the first time, and Eren was shocked. Michael looked at him, and frowned. Then he whipped his hair back, and looked back in front of him. He had a dead expression on his face. He knew the last resort, and he was going to do it when the time was right.
"So," Darius said, "It's true you killed over two hundred people in two years?" Michael nodded. He quickly glanced at Levi, and he was staring at him, like he was someone he knew. He knew that the opportunity was close. He was ready to lift his hands, but words from the Commander-in-chief stopped him in his tracks. "On hunting one of your targets, an anonymous person has heard, that you killed Akira Hisakawa. She was your partner, and helped you with your kills. True or false?" Michael sighed.
"Y-Yes," He replied, looked down, "I did...Kill her." Silence erupted. The silence was deafening to Michael. He got back to his senses, as Levi came, and was about to kick him straight in the face like a bullet. Michael's legs instantly appeared. Then he lifted his hands with the steel pole, bent over, and launched it over his back. It hit a shocked Levi straight in the stomach, and winded him. The cuffs broke, and he ran for the door. He tripped a guard that was running towards him down the hall, and he blasted through the exit doors. He breathed in fresh air, and sprinted for the wall, passing a crowd of confused and cautious people...
Okay, I am truly sorry about the GIANT wait for this one. I'm blaming school for being a bitch this time. I think next chapter MIGHT clear the smoke on the things about Michael. I hope I don't get a lot of hate for this chapter, because it's actually really shorter than usual. Well, I think that this is one of those chapters that are rich in info. Probably second in the four chapters with info, maybe ('-'). Next chapter will possibly be an actiony chapter. I'm also thinking of doing a Tokyo Ghoul fanfic when I finish this story, and when I'm waiting for Season 2 to come out, in late 2017. If tehy delay it again...I'm going to kill all of the animators. I don't know (o-o). Well, hope you enjoyed. Also, just a note, if the next chapter is taking long, it's because I have too much going on.
Thank You For Your Understanding,
