I know I've been churning out these chapters, but I was really excited about writing this chapter because this is the chapter where things begin to get interesting (In my humble opinion). This is probably the most enjoyable chapter to write so far. I hope you have as much fun reading as I had writing it. I know the story's gone at a quite slow pace but please don't give up on it and of course, Leave a review; I've yet to receive one so, reviewers where you at? Enjoy the Akhito fuelled fun :D

We both stood there like statues. My stomach ached like hell. As the colossal beast stood before us only one though raced through my mind; it's over. We're done for.

"You bastards killed my Uncle, you destroyed my home, my city. My life," Suddenly out of the depths of my fear, I managed to summon up the will to fight.

"I will rip your fu**ing head off!" I screamed before charging head on at it. I had no plan and no weapons, but I was completely sure I wanted to do it.

I ran at it full speed, arms flailing and screaming like a mad man. I knew from the start I had no chance against it. It's gigantic human-like hand wrapped around my frail young body. I kicked and punched but it was no use.

"If you gonna kill, do it now you coward," I shouted spitting at it as I did.

The Titan's smile swiftly turned to an aggrevated frown. It opened it's massive mouth, dangling me above it. I began to cry, knowing that this was the end for me. Knowing that I never fulfilled my promise to my Uncle. I could feel it's grip loosening and then, it let go. My lifeless body slowly began to plummet down the slimey, warm tube that was it's throat. I hand reached out and grabbed my collar, pulling me out. I believed it was an angel, or possibly God.

"Akhito, Akhito?" Everything was blurry, either I was dead or I passed out in fear. Whoever it was began to calmly shake me,

"Wh-what? Where am I?" My mind was in tatters, I was completely unsure about what was going on.

Wait I recognise that. The Wings of Freedom. Could it be, could the legend be true? Was I just rescued by the Scout Corps?

"Can you stand?" An emotionless voice spoke. His eyes were dark and uncaring and his black wavy hair looked in no way welcoming,

"Y-yes, I can," slowly I got up from the ground, "thank you, sir," My gratitude was followed by a slightly forced smile,

"Did you really think you could take on a Titan on your own, you little shit," I was shocked, one second I felt he was helping me the next he was throwing insults at me. Who was the guy.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked with conviction,

"Now is not the time for questions, there are a shit ton of Titans sorrounding the area. We're not safe here," the shady looking guy spoke, "You, wimp. Get on my horse, you're with me," he ordered, pointing in the direction he wanted me to go,

I approached the horse with caution, I had never seen or risen a horse before. Nerves shot through my veins.

"Just get on the back of the horse, wimp!" The horse shook as I pulled myself onto it's shiny, hairy back. The shaday guy preficiently mounted the horse briefly after. Whipping it to get it going.

For the first time ever I had reached high speeds I had never reached before. The air felt somewhat cooler as it blew my mahogony brown hair out of my face. I grabbed the shady guy's body tightly, feeling unsafe due to the sheer speed we were travelling at. I felt I was about to fly off the back. The smooth journey was short lived however. A Titan appeared seemingly out of nowhere, chasing us down like dogs.

The shady guy began to slow down, "What are you doing, we'all die," I yelled. We were riding alongside the Titan,

"Shut up and take the reins, wimp," A thick wire shot out of his belt, leaching onto the Titan's shoulder. The Titan roared in pain, aggressively swinging for the unidentable blur. The shady guy sliced at the Titans Achilles, it fell to the ground with a crash, panicking as it tried to help itself up using a nearby building. But it wasn't finished, the Titan wasn't safe yet. The shady guy attachef his sharp hooks onto the Titans back, bringing himself closer to the Titan. He drew his swords and began to rotate like a dreidal before slicing a deep chunk out of the back of the helpless Titan's neck. It immediately stopped moving, it was dead. The obviously pleased man whistled for his horse, taking me with it.

"Move up, wimp," I said nothing, I was completely baffled and amazed.

We began to ride toward the legendary city. We were on our way to safety.

"What about Chihiru and Eiri?" I desperately hoped for the safety of my friends,

"All the survivors of Mirai will be taken within the walls. But don't expect open arms, we're low on food and water as it is,"

The rest of the journey was relatively silent. All I could think about was how he destroyed that Titan, how easily he did it. I wanted to be like him and I was excited as my dream was to become a reality.
