Chapter 2.

"Get up."

"I don't want to..."

"I said get up!" Eren struggled to stand up and looked at the annoyed corporal.

"You're going to knock me down again so what's the point?" Eren complained and got knocked down again. "Why are we even doing this?"

The corporal looked at Eren and sighed. "You need training."

"But I thought you were supposed to put my titan power to full use... yet I'm not in my titan form..."

"Listen up, brat. You may be able to use your titan power but can you control it? You need to learn how to protect yourself from other titan as well as know how to fight with them. This training is to teach you how to simply dodge attacks. Tch... You can't even do that." Rivaille glared at the boy that just stood again before aiming another kick at his legs.

"You're wrong corporal! I can do that!" The boy shouted and jumped up, avoiding the kicked aimed at his legs. He smirked and quickly kicked his corporal in the legs causing him to fall. "I can learn and I will learn!"

Rivaille sat up and rubbed the back of his head. He looked up at Eren as he got closer. Eren smiled and reached his hand out to Rivaille to help him up. "Oi. Eren. Don't let your guard down." Rivaille grabbed Eren's hand and swung him around to hit the ground. "Take a break." Rivaille commanded as he made his way back to the Head Quarters.

Eren watched the corporal walk back to the HQ with a smile. "Did he just call me by my name..?" After the figure of a short man disappeared Eren got up and brushed the dust from his jeans with his hands.

"Eren! We need to talk!" A voice from behind Eren shouted and when he turned around, he saw a running Hanji.

"Hanji?" Eren tilted his head to the side as the brunette approached him.

"We have an assembly today! We need to see who will join the Scouting legion! We need to get you ready! Hurry!" Before Eren could say anything he was already being dragged towards the HQ.

~2 HOURS LATER~

Irvin stood in the middle of the stage, staring at 108 trainees. Well, 107. Eren, Rivaille and Hanji were standing behind a blue curtain. The trainees were whispered among themselves before Irvin cleared his throat. "I'm the commander of the Scouting Legion Irvin Smith. The Scouting Legion has an important objective behind its activities, entrusted to us by the king. The purpose of my speech to you on this day when you are to choose the division you will join is none other than inviting you to join the scouting legion. However, because of the titan's attack the other day, all of you here already had a taste of what scouting outside the walls may be like. Despite the fact that all of you are still trainees, you have already suffered victims in your ranks, and that in itself is unprecedented. And also, you have already experienced the dread that titans instigate in humans as well as limit of your own power..."

"Isn't he supposed to encourage people to join?" Eren looked at Rivaille while whispering to only get a 'shh'.

"But still... We suffered many victims in that attack, yes, but at the same time we've made progress, unseen before, towards mankind's victory. As you all have already guessed, I'm talking about Eren Yaegar." With those words being said Rivaille put handcuffs around Eren's wrists and dragged him onto the stage.

"Corporal! What are yo-..." Eren looked at the 107 trainees and saw the sad looks on his friends' faces.

"Shut up brat." Rivaille pushed Eren down so that he was kneeling down beside Irvin and Rivaille, facing the trainees.

"Uhm. Sir! How should we know that Eren is safe?"

"Yes! What if he attacks us?"

"We can't trust him!"

Eren gasped at the words and Irvin sighed. "Rivaille, Begin." Rivaille closed his eyes and nodded his head.

"yessir!" He quickly replied and aimed a kick at Eren. Eren gasped and spat out blood onto the stage and tried to touch his kicked cheek but Rivaille stopped him with another kick. Another. And another. Different places each time.

"Enough." Rivaille immediately stopped and moved back once he heard Irvin's order. "As you can see, he didn't transfo-"

"YOU BASTARD!" A girl's voice shouted from the crowd. "YOU HURT HIM JUST TO PROVE SOMETHING?!" Rivaille looked around and noticed and girl with short black hair.

"Oi! Shut up! You're giving me a headache. I don't agree with this either bu-"

"Then why did you do it?"

"I had no other choice. Irvin, may I say something?" Irvin chuckled and nodded his head. 'Why does he laugh and chuckle whenever I talk to him? I'll wipe that smile off his face next time!' He glared at him then looked at the crowd. "As you can see, Eren Yaegar didn't turn into a titan. You're all safe. However, if you still doubt that... You may leave. We now ask you to join us. We need you to defeat all the titans and to get Shiganshina district. This is your only chance. Leave or stay. It's up to you." Rivaille frowned and walked over to Eren. He helped the beat up boy up and took the handcuffs off him.

After a few minutes only 12 trainees were left. Rivaille has already taken Eren away and Irvin slightly smiled at all of the trainees. "All of you, what are your names?"

"Armin Arlert,"

"Mikasa Ackerman,"

"Sasha Braus,"

"Connie Springer,"

"Reiner Braun and-"

"-And Bertholdt Fubar."

"Annie Leonhradt,"

"Jean Kirschtein,"

"Marco Bodt,"

"Ch-Christa Renz,"

"Ymir.."

"And Thomas Wagner!"

"Everyone, welcome to the Scouting Legion. You will find your new uniform in your room. Ple-"

"Irvin! Something happened at the HQ! Hurry!" Hanji grabbed Irvin's hand and they both ran towards the HQ with the confused trainees, I mean Scouting Legion members, following.

Meanwhile..

"Yaegar! Snap out of i! Petra, get my blades! Quick! Everyone else put your blades away!" The short man with black hair stood in font of a familiar 15 meter class titan. The titan was stepping closer to the short man. "Yaegar!" Rivaille shouted and moved back as the titan attempted to hit him with his fist. "Snap out of it!"

"Rivaille! Here are your blades!"Petra quickly threw the sharp silver blades towards Rivaille. He caught them and started running towards the titan, avoiding the punches aimed at him.

"Oi, brat! Snap out of it! It's an order!" Everyone watched as Rivaille got closer. "I sa-" He gasped as the titan caught him, tightly holding him in place. "Yaegar! Let go!" He tried to move his hands but the beast's grasp was too tight.

'Wh-What am I doing? Why can't I control my actions?!'

Everyone was frozen, they couldn't move. Corporal was now in front of the beast's face, it's mouth open.

"Rivaille! No!" Petra shouted.

"Everyone clam down!" A familiar voice shouted from behind her.

"Irvin! Hanji!" Petra cried as Irvin, Hanji and the 12 new members joined them.

"We'll save them both. Don't worry!" Irvin ran towards the titan, his blades ready and his 3D maneuver gear lifting him and pulling him towards the titan.

Everyone stood still and no one said a word. Everyone was too shocked to even be able to do anything. Blood covered parts of their faces. The grass and the air were stained with the scent of blood. Steam was surrounding everyone so they appeared to be only dark figures. A few seconds later Hanji dared to moe towards the blood covered bodies of 3 male figures.

Were they alive? or did someone die?
