Hey guys, Slade here bringing you the third chapter of Fight to Survive, this chapter I've not been looking forward too, well because I suck at training montages (seriously you should have saw me try to do Pokémon _) well anyways lets get started, I do not own anything in this fan fiction except the OC's. Also this one is just a short little one with their training, I didn't make it all serious because that's just BORING.

"Hello again Mark, or is Slade more fitting" The figure did jump down, but were hiding in the shadows, and by the voice I could tell it was a female, a bit young to be exact.

"And who might you be, you do know it's rude to know others name but keep your identity" I was hoping to trigger a nerve, maybe get a name out of them.

The figure slowly walked out of the shadows, a girl (As I presumed) walked out, she had crimson red her going down to her shoulders, eyes black as coal, she was wearing the Training corps uniform so I presumed she had just left like the rest of us. "Fine then, I'll introduce myself, my name is Alice Harbinger, as you know from the uniform I'm in the same class as you."

At that I started to turn around and walk away, not interested anymore, this left her mouth wide open and staring at me. "Hey, wait!" she called out to me, starting to storm up to me.

"What is it now, Alice...?" I looked at the girl with eyes of boredom and this just seemed to add fuel to the fire (Try to think of those times when anime girls get that vein in their head and get those giant white eyes ;3)

She stared me directly and then barked at me "Do you know who I am, I', the daughter of the mayor of this town, I could have you sent the jail if I wanted to, so just don't storm off like that!" She seemed to think she had power over me

I stared directly at her then spoke in a plain voice "Alice, not even the smartest person to ever exist could even begin to calculate the many fucks I do not give " at that I waved goodbye and walked off.

She must have been super pissed off because she didn't follow me after that, which I sighed relief tp, and I walked to my new apartment that I bought a few days ago.

=============================4 hours later=========================

I lay on my bed, thinking of the training ahead of me, Uncle Sam always said it was really tough, but if you but up with it it'll be easy, besides I've changed since then. I don't give up unless all my bones are broken, not to say I aren't going to break any bones.

I twisted and turned and looked at my clock on the wall, "Still to early to hit the hay" was the most I could mumble before my door slammed open wide, I stared up at the boy, around my age panting staring at me.

"Y-you got to help me man!" that's all I could hear before I heard screams down the street, oh I get it, he's one of the popular guys and now he's getting chased by fan girls.

I pulled the boy with spikey red hair into my apartment and shut the door closed, listening to the outside, I could hear the girls asking each other where he went and continued down the road.

I turned around to see the boy now smiling, now that I had a good look, I see why the girls want him, tall, six pack, okay hair (Mines better), and an okay smile, perfect for any mindless dream girl.

"Thanks man, I owe you big time, and by that I mean I'll buy you anything you want, I'll let you punch me in the face, I don't care as long as I'm away from them" the boy then sat down on the chair beside my bed, if I didn't know any better I would have tossed him out here and there, but I felt sorry for the guy and sat down back on my bed.

"So, what's your name Mr. Popular" I didn't really care, but the awkward silence was killing me. "The names Kline, Kline Winery" He gave me a smile with a thumbs up but I really didn't care. "And what's your name Mr. Dark and Gloomy" he asked, folding his arms, he's most likely heard of my past in the school, being called a loner and such.

"Names Mark, and that's all your getting out of me." It wasn't that I didn't like people knowing my name, it's that they can't, if they find out they I'm the child that murdered my father, I'm sure the rumors will spread and they'll kick me out of the training corps. "Fine, fine, if you don't want to tell me that's up to you, but again thanks for the help!" he walk towards my window and opened it.

"What are you doing..." I didn't really care, because I knew what he was doing but it just felt like a normal thing to say. "Well if I go out front they'll most likely see me so I'm going to escape round back if that's okay with you?" He asked, he was going to do it even I said no so I just shrugged and yawned "Knock yourself out".

The Red head then jumped out my window ran down the ally way, I sat back down on my bed and stared at my ceiling. "I wonder if all the people in the training corps are like this" as on cue my eyelids finally closed and I fell into a dreamless sleep.

========================First day of training========================

We were all standing outside in the training course, uniforms fully on, one hand behind your back while one on your chest. To my surprise the instructor for the 3DMG training was a women.

"Alright ladies...and women today were going to see if your capable of using the 3DMG, as most of you know the Three dimensional maneuver gear are the gas powered zip lines that you use against the titans.

The women know those as Miss Morazán pointed towards three large set of pillars with 3DMG's strapped to them. She explained the harness would launch you up then you would have to steady yourself before you land, if you land on your feet you pass, anything else you fail and have to keep trying.

Of course I wasn't first to go, I was round about 7th, not that I really cared. I put the 3DMG around my waist and looked at the two harnesses strapped to each end. "Is it really that hard, out of the six that went before me, only two have passed, and one of them was Mei?" I steamed myself as I heard snickers from the crowd of people, most likely they think I'm just some loner who acts tough.

As soon as the harnesses launched me up I felt like the wind had been taking out of me, but I remained focused, I did a backflip in mid air, not for style it was making sure my feet were directly below me. That's when the harness to my left snapped.

Everyone gasped and the shock, I was about 15 meters in the air, and with the only thing protecting me basically gone, I had to land this or it was going to hurt. The boy who I met yesterday tried to rush under me but the teacher stopped him and smirked, I didn't hear all that she said before the words I did hear were "Let's see what he can do under pressure".

At that moment I leaned to the left and placed my right foot onto the pillar, I grabbed the harness that was still attached and ripped it off, I had to move quickly, I quickly loaded it into my 3DMG and shot it at the left of the pillar in front of me, when it hit I launched myself forward and swung myself round and round the pillar until my feet touched the ground.

I leaned my back against the pillar, Even though I did it I was exhausted, I was not prepared for that. I could hear mumbling coming from the ground, then the footsteps walking up to me. I looked up to see Miss Morazán smiling down on me. "You planned that didn't you.." I looked up at the teachers smile grow more. "As you most likely know I'm not to fond of men, but I wanted to see how you worked under pressure, because unlike most men you weren't stuck and snobby, you've impressed me" she padded my back and walked off to get a new harness for the pillars.

I walked to the end of the crowd of people, all the way through people staring me down, wondering how a loner like me could have pulled that off . After everyone gad gone only 13, out of 50 had passed, the ones who didn't are still retaking it.

But being the sexist she is, the boys who did pass have to do 20 laps while the girls relax, but I was about to start running when she pulled me over to the side, it didn't matter if they got a head start, I could pass them in a few minutes.

"What is it miss Morazán?" I tried to hide the bitterness I felt towards this women for nearly breaking bones in my body . "You don't have to do the laps today mark, like I said earlier you impressed me on how you managed to save yourself against all the odds, so you can go hang out with the girls over there, but I'm warning you no kinky stuff mister!" she had a slight tease in her voice with made my face go red.

"Of course I wouldn't do that I'm not a pervert you know!? I marched past her to where the girls were sitting and chatting on the grass, I sat on a bench that wasn't too far away and closed my eyes, I was hoping not everyday was going to be like this.

I could feel the glare of the other girls staring at me, if looks could kill, the titans were the least I would have to worry about. I could hear their muttering a bit, some of them were like "Why does he get to sit of and relax" or "All he did was save himself, in a real fight he would leave his teammates to die" I tried to ignore the comments as best I could, I should be used to this stuff by now.

I felt the bench creek down a bit, someone else has sit down. I opened my left eye to see none of than Mei sitting there starring into me with those blue eyes. "How?" that's all she said, I was expecting something more, bitchy but this will do. "How...what?" I asked, Already knowing the answer. "How did you save yourself so fast, without making a single mistake, anyone else would have just either fallen on their face or tried to grab the pillar and burnt their hands" she asked, what is with this girl!?. I just shrugged "I just have good reflex's I guess" I sighed and closed my eye again, she stopped talking, knowing she wasn't going to get any information out of me, all was peaceful until...

"YOU!" I heard a bark coming from in front of me, I already knew who it was from the voice. "Shit..." was all I could mutter before I felt by jacket being pulled forward, when my eyes opened I was staring into the black eyed, crimson red haired girl from yesterday.

"Oh, It's Alice wasn't it?" I didn't even try to hide the sarcasm and dullness in my voice. "How dare you just leave me like that yesterday after saying such a rude thing!" she barked "what was I meant to say, you were stalking me..." and just like the time I said that to Mei I got a kick to the chest, and it still hurt from Meis' so this hurt like a bitch.

I held in the pain so I only flinched when she did, she dropped my coat and sighed, "this is why I was just going to send in two of my guards to get you" and now it was my time to sigh "you should be glad you didn't, if two men in suits tried to grab me, their body's would be in a bin right now" I wasn't joking either and everyone seemed to know that, I stared at Alice with a serious face that I never had put on for years.

=========================8 hours later===============================

As I walked into the dining room for the students everyone glanced at me but looked bat at their friends and continued talking, I sighed in my mind "Jesus, just because I'm better I'm the bad guy now...". I walked up to the counter and got my food, one steak, a mixture of vegetables, some water and some sauce. I didn't feel like having any pudding so I sat down at an empty table at the far corner of the room, I wasn't that hungry either I just picked at the food in front of me before a familiar voice sat down and called my name "Hey Mr. Gloom- I mean mark, been a while!" I looked up to see Kline, the guy from yesterday. "Oh hey Kline, what are you doing here?" I had a bit of interest why one of the popular boys with the girls was sitting with me, and I'm sure the girls had the same thought.

"I'm sitting with my new friend who saved my ass yesterday, what's it look like?" My hand flinched at the name "friend" and my mouth barely muttered it out, "F-f-friend?" He looked at my before realizing what I meant. "Oh, guessing you never had any friends before this, huh?" I just shook my head in agreement, my father never let me outside with the other kids because he said I would learn bad things from them.

============================Flashback=============================

"Daddy, I want to play in the snow with the other kids, they all look like their having fun!" the 5 year mark was begging his father to let him go.

"I've told you this a hundred times before Mark, they would teach you bad things so for the last time, NO." his father then pulled mark into his room and locked the door leaving a crying mark standing there, alone.

======================Flashback ended=============================

I only noticed Kline waving his hand in front of me when I stopped thinking, "Hey, Mark, you ok dude?" he seemed to have a hint of worry in his voice. "I'm fine, I just need some rest from todays training." I was slightly telling the truth, I was exhausted "I hear you, mind if I come with?" I shrugged and we both got up to leave, unknown to us, we were being followed.

After leaving are trays up we headed to the building where the two dorms are, Kline was going on about now that the girls are just down the hall it's going to be ten times harder hiding from them. I found Kline quite amusing, unlike a lot of people he listened to what you had to say and was a funny guy, I guess if I had to I would call him a friend.

When we opened our room door, we were a bit amused that we were in the same room, but their were two other bunk beds so another two boys would most likely be coming soon. We got undressed ( Well I did, Kline had some PJ's) and got into bed, Kline turned out the lights since he was bottom bunk and I lay there staring at the darkened roof. I heard the door creek open, I presumed it to be the other boys, Kline didn't flinch so I'm guessing he's asleep. I heard footsteps draw close to the middle of the room, then something that surprised me happened. I felt my bed sheets lift up to the left and someone crawl inside, whoever was grabbed me from behind and pulled me closer and I heard a soft giggle. "Shit, a girl!? What about the "No going into the opposites sex dorms or punishments!?" I was about to sit up and yell when I realized, if I'm caught in the same bed as her, I'll be punished as well, she knew this, she planned this, whoever "she is"

Hey guys there's the third chapter done and dusted, the next chapter will be full of stuff like, titans...um...badassery, titans, blood...did I mention titans? well anyways thank you for reading and stay swaggy my friends...stay very swaggy
