Chapter 2: Abnormal Spotted part 1.

All Attack on Titan Characters belong to the Original Owner, OC Axel Kodiak belongs to me. Enjoy chapter 2!

It's been a week since the Scouts started searching for Axel's titan form, and they were beginning to run out of ideas to look. The Scouts were currently set up a base to rest. They just killed all the surrounding titans, and no more have appeared, so they decided to rest up before heading Back out. As the Scouts were packing everything up, they all looked up when they heard a Flare. The Scouts sent out a group of veteran Scouts on horseback to survey the surrounding area for any titans nearby, just in case they didn't get them all. But what made them just a little surprised was the Color of the flare.

Black.

An Abnormal Titan is nearby.

"Move forward! Defend the Scouting party!" Erwin ordered.

Everyone climbed on their horses and started to head out to the nearby forest where the flare came from. They have only encountered regular titans for the past week, and this is the first abnormal that they have encountered. So they were having high hopes this is the Titan they have been searching for.

"Please let this be Axel, Please..." Sasha started begging quietly.

"I'm sure this will be it, Sasha, it has to be. This is the first abnormal we have encountered in the past week, so maybe we might have just found him." Christa encouraged Sasha.

"Well we will never know unless we hurry, so let's get a move on!" Eren shouted to his comrades as they all picked up the pace.

As they appeared in the forest. They saw the group of 3 veteran scouts fighting off an abnormal, and before they could get any closer, one of the Scouts got grabbed by the abnormal and was getting put closer to it's mouth. The scouts knew they weren't going to make it in time, but they still persisted, hoping to make it at the last minute. But before they could stop the Titan, all of a sudden, a gigantic hand appeared and grabbed the hand of the abnormal that was about to chomp on the soldier.

Everyone froze up when the hand of another abnormal appeared and prevented the first abnormal from devouring it's prey. They thought as the newly arrived abnormal broke the grip of the original abnormal and caught the scout before he fell to the ground, they were going to have more trouble on their side, but what shocked them is what happened with the new abnormal.

He still had a grip on the first abnormal wrist, while holding the scout in it's other hand. But the shocking thing was that the abnormal broke the wrist of the original in half with one twist. Then kicked it into a nearby tree. It then turned it's eyes onto the scout into it's hand, and brung the scout up closer to it's head. The scouts thought he was about to eat him, but the next thing they knew, this new abnormal did the one thing that filled them with hope on who they were looking for.

"...HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPP... MMMMMEEEEEEEE..."

It spoke. The abnormal spoke. But what they were wondering what it meant by "help me."

The abnormal turned it's head to the sound of horses, and everyone there saw some very familiar details of the abnormal.

Eyes the color of the finest Wine in the capital, very familiar silver hair, and the one thing that they only seen once before, but only on their friend Axel Kodiak when his eyepatch got knocked off during training.

A scar. A jagged scar running from the top left of the titan's eye diagonally towards the titan's nose. They only know one person with a scar like that, and that someone was their friend and ally-

"AXEL!" Sasha cried out hysterically. Everyone now found happiness, they found they're long lost friend.

They have found Axel Kodiak, member of the 104th Cadet Corps, and a veteran scout that they thought they lost forever.

"AXEL! WE FINALLY FOUND YOU! IT'S ME, SASHA!" Sasha flew from her horse straight towards the Titan that resembled so much of Axel.

"Sasha, wait! He might not recognise you! He might eat you!" Connie shouted to Sasha, but she didn't seem to hear him, too focused on the Titan that resembled the man that she begun to realize she fell in love with.

The Titan then plucked Sasha out of the air, and held her close to it's eyes.

Everyone held their breathe, waiting to see what would follow.

And they did not expect this to happen.

"...SAASSHHAAA... IIITTTT MEEEE... AAXXXEEELLLLL..." the Titan spoke, surprising all of them.

Hange then squealed out when she found the recruit she hand picked from the cadet corps, and begun to grow attached to, before he was snatched away from them by a sacrifice to stay alive.

"AXEL! IT'S US! WE GOT YOUR MESSAGE, WE FINALLY FOUND YOU!" Hange was absolutely elated.

But something began to change, and everyone was on guard. And then they heard a rumbling from the Titan leaning on the tree that Titan Axel kick it into, and they looked up and froze from what they saw.

The Titan Axel sat the scout and Sasha down quickly before running to the tree that the first abnormal impacted with, and grabbed the abnormal and yanked him forward, and looked at his nape. He then chomped down on the nape and ripped it out and pulled out the spine along with it, making some of the Scouts puke out their lunch.

And then another shocking thing, it then looked back at the Scouts, but it's eyes began clouding over then going back to normal, repeating the process while it seems to be shaking.

"What's wrong with Axel?" Christa asked with a worried expression and voice.

"This doesn't look good..." Levi began while looking impassively at the Titan Axel.

The Titan Axel's eyes finally stopped changing and settled on clouded over, then it gave them a creepy grin, then started crawling to them.

"TO THE TREES!" Erwin ordered everyone, and everyone flew high up into the trees.

The Titan Axel started clawing at the trees that held some of the Scouts, his eyes still clouded over.

"What happened to Axel?! He was all nice in the beginning, then started acting like he was going to devour us!" Jean shouted out in shock and surprise from his friend-turned-Titan.

"He must have been holding back." Armin spoke up, and everyone looked at him.

"What do you mean, Armin? What do you mean by 'holding back?'" Eren asked his childhood friend.

"What I mean is, he smelled the blood of humans and was holding back his titanic instincts, but it seems he lost control of them and he became the normal average Titan we're all used to." Armin had a sorrowful expression on his face.

"So that's what he meant by be careful around this Titan in his message." Connie spoke out, making them remember the message Axel wrote.

"He didn't want us to get to comfortable with his Titan when we finally found it, because he still has some titanic instincts, and he was holding them back for as long as he could. And it seems he lost the last of his control, and his instincts have finally been released." Armin explained his theory, to which everyone understood.

"That seems like the best guess we have right now, but how are we going to capture him? From what we see, he seems to be 18 meters tall, 1 meter taller than the Beast Titan!" Sasha yelled out in worry and panick, not wanting Titan Axel to end up dying on them.

"I'll handle it." Eren spoke out seriously with confidence.

"Eren, don't do anything rash! We don't want to risk you against Axel!" Mikasa said worriedly.

"Then tell me how else we can capture him, Mikasa! The best bet we got right now is me transforming, holding him off and keeping him still, while you all cut off his arms and legs!" Eren shouted out his plan.

"The brat is right, it's the best plan we've got at the moment." Levi spoke out his approval.

"Just... be careful Eren, and don't kill him!" Mikasa finally relented, and told him to be sure.

"I won't, Mikasa, I don't want to lose any more of our friends. Not now, not ever." Eren said with a mixture of confident and nervousness on his face.

"We'll save you, Axel, just HANG IN THERE!" Eren shouted as he jumped down from the tree and bit into his hand, drawing blood, and lightning appeared around Eren, and then appeared from the smoke was Eren's Titan form. Titan Eren roared before looking up a little at the Titan Axel that got blown away a few meters, and stood back up, grinning like a mad man at Titan Eren. Titan Eren got into his combat stance, while Titan Axel ran towards Eren, and aimed to grab ahold of Titan Eren's arms.
