No not really but Thanks for asking!
I own nothing except Athoris, Alex and the story at this point!
Ya'll better appreciate me for this...
The Titans surrounded the grounds of the dark castle below them. Pushing, pulling off ears and yelling their way in like hungry children before dinner. Leering up at them moonlight shining in their huge eyes their tiny limbs flailing as they went some even attempting to climb the walls or break it down as they watched from the top of the tower as more and more approached unvalued by the moons silver light.
"H-how is this possible?!" cried Gerger a look of total disbelief on his face as he watched them causing the titans to peer up at them their teeth bared and gnawing at nothing but thin air.
"Guys..." Connie whispered looking to the right. "Look over there!"
There stomping past the castle was a gigantic, hairy long armed beast titan like a monkey and one of its eyes was closed and swollen and looked rather bloody it walking purposely forward... to the wall...
"The titans shouldn't be able to move at night!"
But they were and moving very quickly despite the outburst and their strength seem to have survived as well because one titan body slammed the turret they were currently situated on in an attempt to get a free meal without much effort causing the tower to rock but not break and everyone to lose their balance,
"Ah... guys?" Nora said as he looked down. "Titans are some trying to break the door down.."
"What?!" Gargar shouted a look of pure undisguised rage on his face his hand gripping his sword as he watched the scene below him as the door seemed to slowly gave way to the blows of the titans desperate punches.
"HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!" he shouted now springing up on the ledge his gear in his hands looking quite murderous. "Don't screw with me!" he shouted his teeth bare. "I didn't even get to drink that vine. And its all thanks to you damned freaks!" he shouted bearing his sword which glinted in the moonlight.
"You rookies... step back," Nanaba said softly. "You guys... see what you can do to stop them from coming in. But from the grounds. Its the 3d maneuver gear's turn." he said his body half hidden in the night as he leaped off towards the battle field their battle cry carrying in the wind that it caught the attention of the ape after it had reached the top of the wall. It looked back as if deciding what to do.
From the tower they watched them watched the titans scramble around below watched as titans were knock to the ground crushing other under its immense body weight and lay limp in a pool of its own 'blood'.
Rena frowned as she saw one trying to crawl out from beneath its body and slashed the nape of its neck instantly. She landed gracefully on the ground and what she saw made her eyes widen in shock.
"Kazuma!" Nora shouted suddenly from the tower causing everyone to look back. "Say it now!"
"No." he said flatly. "There's too many people..." he said glancing down as the people below him zipped through the air. For people with limited resources this is actually very impressive... he thought.
Rei... frowned searching for something in her pocket and smiled as she pulled out a slip of paper with a kanji marking on it and was about to throw it when Rene stepped on the edge of the tower a message of waring in her eyes.
"The titans got through the door?" Kazuma said, stepping forward a bit.
She nodded looking grave.
"Go deeper inside the castle. Set up a barricade to defend against them! she instructed sweat on her face. "Hurry! As you know out 3d maneuver gear doesn't work indoors. If your defenses were to be breached at the moment we're not there... if worst comes to worst come back here. she stepped off the ledge and looked down at the bloodbath below. We might not be able to save you in time though... we don't know if we'll be alive that long as well." she said looking towards the forest where a large number of titans could be clearly seen towering over the trees. I'n not even sure about our gas supply can last long enough... her voice seemed to trail off but soon enough it returned with vigor and confidence. "But... nothing will change! not matter what keep fighting! Even to your last breath!" and that was the only thing they needed.
"GOT THAT?!" she shouted, readying herself to join the fight again as everyone hurried back to the castle. Once inside Reiner picked up one of the torch's that lined the walls.
"I'll go check how far the titans have penetrated into the castle." He said holding the torch in front of him at the head of the group. "You guys go find planks, stick, anything and bring it to me!" he said and hurried down the stairs oblivious to the cries of his fellows. Reiner panted trying to get the upper hands on the titans as he raced down the hallway coming to the other door and when he opened it all he saw were even more staircases hidden in the darkness leading to another door blocked by a large piece of wood half rotten and worn. Not seeing what else to do he removed the wood and opened the door opened it and held the torch up. What he saw emerging from the darkness illuminated by the light of his torch was a titan half starved and leering at him with rows and rows of sharp teeth. Its smile grew as it saw his eyes wide with sick delight.
Quickly he slammed the door shut and blocked it.
"There's a titan down here!" he called as the titans attempted to break the door down. "Hurry and bring me anything to barricade it!"
Suddenly a hand shot through the door and out of the corner of his eyes he saw it reaching for him.
No... this can't be where I'm going to die... he thought bitterly memories of his first titan encounter flooding his mind the death of his friend.
No! he thought his resolve coming back to him as its hand reached for him. Not here... not now. Berthold and I are not there yet! Come on Carlos... you can probably...
"Reiner... right..." Kazuma said calmly, as he was stepping down the stairs ripping some bandages off his hand Nora beside him.
"Open the door..."
"Are you kidding?" he shouted as the pounding on the door continued.
"Open it..." he said calmly the bandaged falling away revealing that his hand was bleeding a little bit and seemed to cover a strange mark as Nora stepped in front of him.
Reiner grimaced but quickly removed the wood and opened the door getting out of the way as a few titans appeared again in the darkness.
Nora smirked and stepped off the staircase holding his arm out his eyes dark.
"I declare Igunisu Scorching Cyclone!" he shouted his hand in the direction of the approaching titans.
Calmly and without hesitation Kazuma held out his hand palm up towards Nora.
"I approve..."
The very air in the room seemed to become a gale as power seemed to shoot through Nora's body and emitted a light so bright it was nearly blinding and all they could hear was
"HA HA!" Nora shouted as the smoke slowly vanished smirking bearing long teeth and pointing to the smoldered remains of where the titans had been. "How do you like that! Ya ugly fat ass?!"
"Wo- whoa..." Jonouchi said looking at the scene as Christa, Ymir and Connie appeared with a cannon behind him.
"Huh... I must say... that's interesting!" Ymir said, serving the scene before her as Berthold walked down the stairs carrying a rather sharp look rake.
"Now what?" Connie said holding a small dagger in his hands. "All I found was this should we see if its alive and try to cut the nape of its neck off..."
"No need..." Kazuma sighed, going back up the stairs. "The dogs powers are pretty powerful. You don't have to worry."
Nora blinked:
"Was that some sort of complement?" he asked smirking, and then found himself clutching his collar on the ground.
"Hey Nora," Reiner said, standing next to him. "T-thanks for that." he said holding his hand out to Nora.
"Yeah. You would have prob..." Nora paused, eyes wide his nose twitching slightly as he took the hand.
"What?" Reiner asked as Nora looked up at him suspicion in his eyes.
"LOOK OUT!"
There... right behind them coming out of the broken doorway behind Connie was a five meter tall titan. He didn't have enough time to react but before it could eat him Reiner pushed it away. It opened its mouth reaching for him and bit heavily into his arm braking layers of skin drawing blood from the wound.
"Reiner!" Berhtold shouted holding the rake out in his trembling hands.
We promised each-other, didn't we? We would go back to our home town... without thinking without even hesitating he ran forward with his weapon aiming for its stomach. And I refuse to go back without you!
As he was about to throw it something white flashed past him and connected to the titans flesh where it seemed to burn up to black ash freeing Reiner's arm while the paper silently fell to the ground.
"Sorry about that! I didn't get you did I?" said a voice from the stairs. Looking up they saw Rei standing at the top of the stairs in a holding more white pieces of paper in his/her fingers.
Reiner shock his head clutching his arm.
"What was that?" Ymir asked looking at the paper slips.
"These are ofuda. They're sort of like prayer slips. See... I'm what's called a minko, that's what a priestess is called in my language." she said holding more of them up between his/her fingers. "They are a type of charm we use in my country and they are very powerful when combined with my magic. I use them to attack sometimes..."
"Are you saying that prayer stuff really works?" Kazuma sighed, looking back at her.
Rei glared at him as the titan's fingers twitched and its eyes moved. She looked back eyes narrowing. It shouldn't be able to do that...
"You'll find that the power of the gods and goddess hold more truth to it then you realize..." came Atem voice, as he walked down the stairs. "However I doubt your world has any..." he said coming to a halt on the ground below.
"Is that right?" Kazuma asked him. "And I guess your gods saved your land when it was being over run by the outsiders then."
Atem's eyes flashed with cold fire and Malik stiffened.
Nora looked at him his eyes wide.
"Oi!" he shouted, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Shut your mouth up or you'll regret it!"
"Why is that?" Kazuma said glancing at him.
Nora sighed and whispered something in his ear.
"Because you're going to answer to them..." he hissed.
"At any rate..." Atem said looking at the door. "We should concentrate on barricading ourselves in case more of those monsters get in here..."
It took a long time but they managed to find poles and sturdy blocks that, if worse came to worse, would hopefully hold up against the titans. tires but too uneasy to sleep they retreated back to the inner chamber. Christa picked up the bottle of vine looked at Reiner's wound and carefully pored it on his injured arm very apologetic to his wincing as the substance stung at the open flesh of his arm.
"The bone looks like its fractured a bit." she said holding his hand gently in her inspecting the raw red chewed up flesh with just a hint of white pocking through. She picked up a small sturdy piece of wood and then thinking quickly ripped the fabric of her skirt a little placed the wood inside and wrapped it around Reiner's arm.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled looking embarrassed. "But dirty clothes will have to do for now..."
Reiner glanced at her hardly knowing what to think.
"Don't be." he finally said looking away.
Just marry me already... he thought as Christa tied it around his arm.
"Hey Christa..." Ymir said slowly holding a finger up. "There's a cut on my finger as well..."
"Your barley scratched, spit on it and I'll go away..." Connie muttered receiving a hard glare from Ymir.
"Reiner..." Connie said as Ymir continued to glare. "One of these days man... you're going to get killed if you rush off like that I mean you saved me from Annie that one time remember? One of these days I gotta return the favor..."
Reiner looked at him eyes glazed over with memory shook his head and said calmly:
"Forget it... I'm a soldier... I do what I have to..."
"Well... I guess you always put your life on the line... I doubt my never could stand it. he shrugged. "Say Berthold... he continued. Was Riener always like this?"
Berthold glanced at him.
"No." he said a strange look in his eyes. Let's just say that... in the past he was a completely different person. He was a warrior..."
"What are you talking about?" Reiner called. "Don't much up stupid things like that!"
"Whatever..." Ymir sighed walking over to the window. For the time being we should all of us scrape together anything that might be of use so none of us will regret it if we die... Actually..." she said looking out the window. Half of our survival depends on on the strength of the commanding officer... ooh..." she said as she looked down at the bodies of the smocking titans littered around the castle.
"Well what can I expect?" she shrugged. "The scouting legion is after all on a whole different level then the rest of them..."
Things were looking up for them. They had a promising environment to attack quickly form and as a result the titans big and small were falling left and right all around and no more seemed to be coming they weren't low on anything and they had hardly broken a sweat through it all and daylight had barley broken the sky. They were almost done Rene was ready to check on them when out of nowhere something howled through the night sky the cry of a beast and then the sound of something smashing into wood and the cries of horses. They didn't have long to brood over that because the next second out of the darkness illuminated by the moon a rock the size of the wall came hurtling towards Rene and Henning as they reached the top sending them flying killing them instantly And if that wasn't enough titans came running out of the trees attracted there by the call of the beast now watching from atop the broken wall as if laughing at them watching as the two remaining met their death despite the attempts of the others before it lowered itself to the unsuspecting humans below still hearing the titans as they swarmed ready to eat.
"No good..." Rei said, "I'm out of ofuda... can't use my power either..." Rei grimaced angrily.
"Can't summon the red eyes..." Jonouchi said darkly. They looked at Atem but the look on his face said everything...
They watched at the titans swarmed the turret barely holding up as the sun began to rise...
"Well... at least... we got to the dawn of our last blood red sun rise." Connie said dully, his eyes dull. Ymir looked at the titans and then to Connie.
"Connie," she said in a voice that called for no revoke. "Give me your knife..."
"Thanks." she said taking it and placing her hand on his head as if pattering it.
"But... what will you even need it for? It's hardly a butter knife!"
"Well..." she said turning away form him and towards the ledge. "Fighting."
Wh-what are you even going to do? Reiner asked eyes wide in shock.
"I have no god damned idea..." she shrugged before turning to Christa looking at her golden hair illuminated by the sin making her look so much more pretty in her opinion but strengthened her resolve none the less.
"Christa..." she said slowly, fingering the knife. "For me to tell you how to live your life is something I can't do. So please hear my wish to live your life with your head held high..." and she ran and jumped off the edge to the awaiting titans hearing Christas sweet voice calling after her.
Christa watched horror in her gentle blue eyes as the titans reached for her. Watched as she cut the back of her hand with the knife and became a titan...
She was small but looked very fast. claw like fingers and long unruly hair clung around it and dark black eyes like tunnels. Her teeth as sharp as sabers bit into the neck of the nearest titan and pulled the skin away kicking it into the wall as she moved to another target. Titans ran titans scampered they fled... still smiling from the dancing titan. On the tower they watched not believing it they couldn't believe it.
Reiner and Berhhold looked on eyes wide in horror.
"If she was in fact a titan she should have contributed to the cause of the scouting legion, just like Eren..." Reiner said.
"But Eren didn't know either! But Ymir certainly looked like she knew what she was doing..."
"Is she even on our side?"
They watched eyes wide as Ymir was grabbed and thrown off the side of the tower and flung into an onslaught of hungry teeth pulled apart.
"YMIR!" Christa blood curling voice cried through the air.
She fought her had out, she kicked she pulled, she killed but it didn't seem like she was getting out any time soon. They watched as she let go of the tower and fell again.
"But... why?" Connie asked. "Does she not want the tower to fall?"
"Yes!" Christa whispered, "If she wanted she could have escaped already. Her form right now isn't strong enough to kill all of them. But... she's fighting with her life hanging by a thread... for our sake... She's protecting us."
And it made her mad as hell...
"YMIR!" the girl shouted, stepping on top of the tower. "DON'T YOU DARE DIE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!"
Ymir stopped and looked up at her.
"DON'T PUT THIS SISSY GOOD GIRL ACT ON YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ME! YOU COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THAT! YOU'RE YMIR THE PERSON WITH THE MOST PISS POOR PERSONALITY IMAGINABLE! DON'T YOU FORGET THAT! Christa was nearly losing it now having to have Connie keep her from falling. TO HELL WITH THIS DAMNED TOWER! BREAK IT DOWN FOR ALL I CARE! LIVE FOR YOURSELF! DAMNIT!"
It seemed to do the trick she managed to grab hold of a hole in the wall and break free sending the titans flying and making the tower wobble dangerously.
"WAY TO GO YMIR!" Christa triumphantly shouted, as a shadow fell over them.
"Wanna live... grab on..." came the gravely voice with just a hint of the human Ymir in it.
And as the tower collapsed around them they climbed into her hair holding on tightly as she jumped to the ground crushing the remaining titans underneath it. However suddenly a titans hand shot through the rubble and grabbed onto Ymir's hair and as they watched more of them appeared. They could do little but watch as Ymir was tossed around like a rag doll limbs ripped off teeth gnawing ripping out the eyes...
"No..." Christa breathed, and in a dream like state began to run towards Ymir's fallen for a titan leering at her out of the rubble. "Wait... no." Christa said, as the titans wrapped its hand around her small frame. "No not yet! I still haven't told Ymir my name!"
The titans finger wrapped themselves around its meal but before it could feast here was the sound of a sword slicing through skin and the titan seemed to be completely frozen for a few seconds its eyes wide in shock before something flew off of the back of its neck and it fell to the ground over its killer standing on the rock the wings of freedom printed on the back of the jacket flowing in the breeze.
"Mikasa!?"
And as they watched just like the dawning of the new sun hope arrived in the form of the scouting legion heading by Hanji directing the troops one however broke away leaping off its horse and flung itself toward the nearest titan killing it instantly.
"YES!" Eren shouted, a look of triumph on his face. "I did it... my first kill as a scout!"
EREN! Connie called, his eyes wide in delight.
"Eren you moron!" Hanji called, halting her horse and dropping to the ground, "You were exempt from the attack!"
"Ah! sorry..." he said as Hanji turned to the person next to her horse riding up next to her. She took off the hood and looked at them.
"Hey... guys..." she said waving sheepishly as Christa cradled Ymir's broken one armed one legged smoking body to hers.
"Ymir?" Christa said softly. The skin around Ymir's eyes looked red and it looked like it was peeling away but all the same she managed to open her eyes and look at her.
"My name... it Historia..."
Ymir held her gaze for an instant and smiled, a peaceful smile.
"So... Ymir was a titan as well..."
