Hey guys, Slade here bringing you the 4th chapter of "Fight to Survive!", and to my surprise I got four reviews, three by the same person, a friend from school and one from a person I don't know! Now some people think "That's not a big deal" yeah for you it might not be, but when I first started this I didn't think anyone would notice me but people have :O, I don't care if it was one person I would still write just for them. Anyways enough with me getting all titanic mode ONTO THE STORY. I own nothing in this story except my OC's, my laptop and a juice box...I love that juice box...

I sat there in silence, that's when I heard the door open again, but this time two other boys came in chatting to each other, the boys who were meant to come in and not this dam girl. Luckily they didn't turn any candles on, knowing/thinking me and Kline were asleep, well he was anyways.

I had put my hand over the girls mouth to stop her from even breathing to hard before letting go when the boys go into bed. I sat there in silence fore about two hours before nodding my head, knowing all three of the other boys had to be asleep by now. I sat up and stared at the girl, who to my half surprise was still wide awake and staring at me. Now that I had a good look, this girl wasn't half bad either, she had long blue, that turned into a shade of green at the bottom, hair, her brown chestnut eyes shined in the moonlight. I couldn't see the rest of her body but I bet she looked-. I nearly slapped myself at the mere thought. "GODAMIT MARK, now is not the time to be thinking about those things, just get the girl out of here and into her own dam dorm so you can get some sleep!" I was kind of frightened that I was yelling at myself in my head, maybe this was the start of insanity?

I just stared at the girl, she was staring right back at me with a huge smile on her face, that just made me sigh in anger and tiredness and whispered to her "What is your dorm number, cause your going there, right now..." The girl only looked slightly confused at the order and tilted her head "But I want to stay here and sleep with you Slade-kun." she made sure I heard the "Kun" part she added in my nickname, only my mother had ever called me "kun" before so it was a bit awkward.

I just grabbed her arm and slowly, but quietly, pulled her down with me until we opened the dorm and entered the corridor (And before you ask, yes mark is wearing clothes now, he put on a hoodie and shorts before he left XD) I looked up the corridor to the see 6 sets of girl dorm doors, same as the boys. "Go, now..." I could speak louder now that I wasn't in my dorm. "But Slade-kun..." she looked at me with puppy eyes. "Will you stop calling me that, I don't like having "Kun" on the end of my nickname, makes me sound...weak."

"Fine...but I won't let the other girls have you" She had a huge smile on her face before walking down the corridor and walking into the second on door to the left. I just stood there shaking myself and managed a mutter "What other girls...?" at that I went back into my dorm, undressed and got back into bed, finally getting some sleep.

=======================2 months into training=====================

I finally realized what she meant by "other girls", it was only two months and about all the girls (exception of Mei and Alice) had been asking me out on dates. Of course I declined them all but they kept coming back. I hated this. I missed the times where I could walk off and no one would be watching my every move.

I slumped down against a tree, taking a gulp off my water before wiping my mouth, that's when Kline slumped down beside me exhausted from the 30 laps and pushups. "How is doing 30 laps and sit ups meant to help against titans, it's not like we can punch them to death, and running isn't an option when they spot you" he groaned and gulped down nearly all of his water. "I don't know how you do it mark, we've been through all this and I haven't even heard you MUTTER about how bullshit this all is.

"Because it's not..." was all I could mutter, I didn't want to admit it, but two months of doing 30 laps and about 100 pushups did take the wind out of him. "If a titan spots you, you need to gain enough speed to use your 3DMG, without speed your just going to fall back down and be dead meat, and for getting our strength up..." He glared at Kline, making him flinch a little. "Not everyone is as nice as you think..." remembering my father."

Kline didn't push any further, he knew if Mark ever wanted to tell him, he would tell him, trying to ask for him to spill wouldn't do anything, hell, even if titans could talk and were chewing on mark, asking him for information I bet mark would just glare them in the eyes and tell them to fuck off. Kline just chuckled at that thought, knowing that there was one man here who wasn't afraid to die.

==========================4 Months into training======================

We had finally been aloud to use the real 3DMG, we were led into a small training ground, similar to the titan forest out in the Titans territory. It had large wooden figures scattered around, meant to resemble titans, the figures had a soft part in the nape area, which of course was our job to cut a good slice into. Everyone went five at a time, I was the 4th group to go, along with Kline, Mei and three other kids I didn't know.

When I first used the 3DMG, it felt a lot lighter than I expected, not that was a bad thing, I was able to swing round trees in an instant, that's where I saw my first wooden titan. I pumped more gas into the 3DMG, increasing my speed, dodging any trees in my way. *SLICE*, I landed on top of a large branch above the figure. I looked down to see the damage, the soft part of the nape was completely destroyed, fluff was falling to the ground slowly. I grinned that it was a direct hit and continued on to find more and to destroy as many as I could before time was up.

An old man was watching the group of five slicing their way through the wooden figures napes. He looked at the red head who was doing pretty good, the old man expected him to not even be able to hit the nape but he was getting some pretty good cuts into them, some wouldn't kill a titan but would definitely confuse it.

He then watched the girl with long black hair, he was interested in this girl, he knew her father, a very good solider in the recon corps indeed, it was no wonder why she was wanting to be here. She had already destroyed 5 wooden figures in the first 15 minutes, which was better than most of the people training here, she would definitely make a good solider one day.

Then his eyes landed on the one he was most interested in, the boy named Mark, of course he had knew of his past, his father had murdered his mother and he single handily killed his father using his own knife. He also knew the man who brought him into his care. Corporal Samuel. A very good man, and a great loss when death finally caught up with him. But something was off about the boy, he didn't have the slightest hint of revenge in his eyes, not the slightest bit of anger, the thing that scared the old man the most was that he was enjoying every second of killing the wooden figures of titans.

==========================6 Months into training=====================

"Four more months and it's all over, I just have to last four more months in this dam training camp..." Marked was sitting against the same tree he always went to when he had something on his mind. It became like a habit after the very first day, it was a nice play anyways, the leaves blocked out the blazing sun, it also had a very nice smell and the ground around it was smooth with grass. It was quite peaceful today, the instructor let us have a day off because of all the extra training we had been doing, so I wasn't going to waste it by being indoors like the rest of them. I just stared at the clear blue sky's, I always asked myself the same thing but I never could get a true answer. "Why do I wane kill the titans, I know they killed uncle Sam, but many people have lost their loved ones to them but still aren't brave enough to risk their own to kill the titans, am I just brave, stupid, naive...I just don't know..." My train of thought broke with the instructor was telling everyone to go out and do something for about two hours, so I got up and walked off only to hear footsteps behind me.

I turned around to see Mei behind me so as the gentleman as I ham (Ha, yeah right) I asked "Where might you be going Mei?" Her head shot up, I kind of guessed she didn't even know it was me in front of her. "Oh, I didn't notice you there Mark, anyways for your question I'm heading off to the market to buy some food for my family, may I ask where you are you going, as I remember your apartment is the other way so I'm guessing not there?" she folded her arms and looked at me, does she think I'm following her or something? "I don't have anything better to do so I was heading to the market to get some food, I didn't really get breakfast today so...yeah." That seemed to satisfy because she let out a large sigh hand she grabbed my arm and started pulling me. "Hey, what the hell are you doing!?" I questioned, trying to break my arm free to no prevail. "Since your going to I guess you could help me pick out the best food for my family today, they want type of stew. "Great, guess I'm not getting lunch either..."

On the other side of the street was a man watching the two teenagers head towards the market, he growled at the boy before heading off towards his house.

=============================10 months later========================

I felt a grab on my shoulder to see Kline there with a bigger smile than usual on his face. "What's got you so happy, finally found the right girl?" I asked, knowing that Kline would just growl a me which he did before answering my question "To my luck sadly no, but the reason I'm smiling is because this is our last month of training, soon we'll be official titan killing machines!" He jumped into the air, punching his fist up. I chuckled at the sight, I wasn't going to say it but I was also happy that the last month of training was over.

When we walked into the dining room everyone else seemed to be thinking the same thing, glasses were full, people were smiling, everyone just seemed to be in the best form today, it was kind of nice to see, of course I didn't even let a grin form on my mouth, I just sat down on the usual corner table and Kline followed.

That's when the instructor game in, even she seemed to be in a good mood, probably knowing that in a month she would be free of all these pests and could relax for a good long while. "I know your all happy to know this is your last month of training, but don't even think about slacking off, remember, we are giving people scores on who will be on the top ten, even if your number one right now, slack off and you might go off that list!" she had a bit of tease in her voice so everyone just chuckled and nodded. That said she walked out and everyone went back to talking, it was a fine day.

========================A few weeks later===========================

It was around 9:00 pm at night, all of us were led into a large open area with a stage in front of it, a man with blonde hair and a beard was standing there. Ten of us were lined up at the very front while the rest were lined at the back, a few meters away. So this had to be the top ten, I didn't expect to be the very first, neither did I expect Kline to get 5th, even he looked shocked, Mei on the other hand, I knew she would be very high her, so her being second was no surprise. There were a few others I noticed, like that blonde girl Annie that was very cold and a bit of a loner, the way I used to be, she was 4th. the others I didn't know the names of.

The man at the front explained to us that we had all graduated and were now given the choices of what we wanted to pick, we could pick the Garrison, where we fortified the walls and checked the cannons, or we could pick the Recon corps, where you ventured out into Titan territory and tried to reclaim our homeland, and last but not least the Military police, where you served directly under the king, but this option could only be picked by the top ten.

When the choices were made, I picked the recon corps, even If I could pick the Military police that wouldn't be doing anything to stop the titans from advancing to our homes. This was this prick called Jean in our class who of course made it in the top ten, he kept bragging about now that he was in the top ten he was going to join the Military police and not get eaten by titans. Everyone else just thought of it as a joke, to me, it was an insult, I wanted to go over there and knock some sense into him, and you know what, I WILL.

I felt like something inside of me had just awoken and was now interested, but I shrugged off the feeling and walked over to the snobby kid of a landlord. When he saw me coming I could see a hint of fear in his eyes, good, I wanted him to fear me. He continued to say how while he was safe beside the king you would have to risk your lives...then I heard him say it, I snapped. Under his breath I heard him mumble that anyone who joined the Recon corps was a full. I wasn't angry because I had joined it, it was because my uncle died saving the asses of brats like these.

At that moment I grabbed Jean by his shirt collar and slammed him against one of the wooden pillars in the room. Everyone was shocked to such a fight come out and a joyful event. "W-w-what the hell do you think your doing!?" now he was even more afraid, I grinned. "You mocked, the recon corps, that's what, my Uncle lost his life to those dam titans so little stuck up pricks like you could live, so if you ever even mutter something against them it'll be the last thing you say you little snobby bastard!" At that I Punched him against the Jaw, not hard enough to break it, but he still felt pain. No one seemed to want to help Jean up for two reasons, one, they thought he was a snobby prick two, and they hated him mocking the recon corps, two, if they helped him up, Mark would most likely declare them an enemy as well.

Of course a few hours later I was called in by the instructor to be asked what exactly happened, when I told her I snapped at what he said, she just grinned, and said "Just what I expected of you, you won't let anyone put themselves in front of others because of money and power, even though I like girls better, you're the kind of men I'm into."

At that I walked out of the office, it was nearly Midnight, time to hit the dorms. Of course when I got there people were all asking me why I did it, how cool I was, how they would never get on my bad side. I just ignored it all and went to bed, tomorrow we had to help clean the cannons before taking on our new roles, I didn't really care...I just wanted to shed some titan blood.

========================The very next morning======================

Five of us were at our section of cannons, we started cleaning up rubbish that the guards left behind, bird crap, and cleaned the cannons. "Man, I can't believe we have to do this right before we finally get to go into our new sections..." I didn't know the boys name but he seemed alright. I just ignored everyone and did my own job, quicker this is done the quicker and I can get out of these walls.

*PHHHZT*

A large flash of yellow light appeared right in front of where we were standing, and there he was standing, in the flesh...The colossal Titan...

At that moment no one moved an inch, we were all frozen in place by the red giant staring directly at us. "SHI-" was all I could shout before steaming hot steam pushed off the edge of the wall, we all used our 3DMG to attach ourselves to the side of the wall, before we heard a large crash from the front gate.

We looked over to see a hole, just like the one made in Wall Maria, was formed, and titans were starting to pour in, one by one.

"The t-t-tians, they've broke in again..." A girl with long brown hair muttered, her name was Sasha I believed. I couldn't just sit there and watch this happen, so I barked an order "You four, meet up with the rest of the squads and help defend against the titans!" I screamed releasing my grip on the wall, slinging myself upwards. "And you!?" I heard Sasha scream behind me. "I'll deal with "him"!" I sprung upwards from the steam, directly facing the colossal titan, who seemed to be waiting on me, staring in my direction.

"Hey there, we didn't meet the first time, how about I introduce myself...?" was all I could mutter before a giant red arm slung my way, I was easily able to doge it and attached myself to the colossal titan while freefalling, as I slung myself up I saw that he had destroyed all the cannons. That's when it hit me, the two holes, the cannons being broken, this wasn't pure luck, this thing had intelligence!?" I looked up to see a hand rise from the mist to try to squash me like a bug, I narrowly escaped by attaching onto his elbow and releasing a large amount of my gas to sling myself forward. When I had flung myself far to the right I attached myself onto the nape of his neck. "Your not as stupid as you look!" I slung forward screaming the last of the sentence "YOUR EVEN STUPIDER CAUSE YOUR FIGHTING ME!" I screamed my lungs out and just before I hit the nape of his neck, large amounts of that hot steam came out, pushing me away. I released more gas to push me forwards, and to my lucky I was and I sliced as hard as I could. To my surprise, I slashed at her, the colossal titan was no longer there, it had just vanished, just like the story's from 5 years ago.

I attached myself to the outside of the wall, staring at the giant footprints in the ground in disbelief. "How did something that big just...vanish?" I was interrupted by a worried Sasha who was looking down to me, "Mark, are you alright!?" I couldn't answer, I couldn't even speak...what the hell are we up against?

As we got to HQ, people were already flooding out of the city, the vice commander was in the middle, screaming/barking commands at us, telling us if we have to, lay down our lives for the civilians at hand. Everyone nodded and yelled "Yes sir!" and with that, everyone got prepared for the biggest fight of their lives.

========================A few hours later============================

I was staring at the distance, fully prepared with a new gas tanks and a fresh set of blades, I looked at some of the larger titans, breaking houses down like they were toys. The rage flooded back into me, I wanted them all to die, every single one of them.

As my squad flew through the air, they were barking at each other, telling them that no matter what, stay with the group, were better in numbers, " yeah right..." that's all I could think before a scream came from behind us, we landed on a roof and turned around, what we saw was...disgusting...

A blonde haired titan had one of our teammates in his mouth, an abnormal it seems, a normal titan wouldn't have jumped up to get him, but he wasn't just eating him, he was chewing on him little by little in front of us, like he was mocking us for not being able to save our friend. It wasn't long until he swallowed the young boy down in one gulp, I flinched at the disgusting crunch.

When the titan just started walking away, rage filled up beside me, how dare he just walk away, he ate our teammate right in front of us and expects to live...oh that titan is dead...and he's mine...

My 3DMG launched to a nearby roof and I started running towards the blonde haired titan, I could hear the yells of my teammates behind me but I ignored them and kept on going, as I jumped a roof I saw a titan jumping up between the gap to get me, I quickly launched myself forward, dodging the attack and continued running that's when another scream perked my ears, and I knew who it was, that blue haired girl from that night, I found out her name was silica, she was now being held by a titan, about to be dropped into its mouth. I couldn't just leave her, even though I badly wanted that titan who killed my teammate I've got to make sure more live than die, so I changed my course and quickly turned left towards the grey bearded titan. I saw the blue girl get dropped into the titans mouth, but I wasn't about to let another one die, not again!

I quickly attacked myself onto the titans mouth and stuck my blades in-between the mouth of the titan, it wouldn't hold for long but it meant the titan couldn't close it's mouth until they snapped, I grabbed silica's hand, who was now falling down the neck of the titan and slowly pulled her up. I heard the blades starting to crack behind me. "SHIT" I knew I had to act fast, so I grabbed silica with both hands and tossed her outside the titans mouth, it wasn't a graceful landing but she survived. I could that Silica looked up in horror as both blades snapped in half as I was about to get out. She sat there in horror as she watched the titan take a giant gulp. She heard a female voice call her, It was Mei. How could she tell Mei that Mark just died, saving her. Mei grabbed and fell with Silica, barely dodging the titans hand. Mei tried to use her 3DMG to kill the titan but to her surprise, it was out of gas

. She looked at silica who looked to be still in shock. Mei shook silica and kept asking her what was wrong. Silica finally started talking. "The titan grabbed me...it dropped me into it's mouth...I thought I was going to die...then Mark showed up out of nowhere and jammed the titans mouth open with his blades...he pulled me out but the blades snapped before he could get out..." after she had said it, silica broke down crying, Mei couldn't believe it, the top of the class, the boy who saved her when she was young, had just been killed by that titan, yet again saving another girl..."He was a ladies man wasn't he..." was all Mei could mutter. Mei turned round to face the titan, while silica was getting up to help, that's when something happened, the titan mouth was going side to side, up and down, and that's when it happened, two spinning blades cut the whole titans head in half, and out came a blood covered Mark, only he was missing his right leg. Before anything else mark jumped behind the titan and sliced it's nape, killing it.

(What happened inside the titans mouth)

I sat there in Pain, when the blades snapped my leg got trapped in between the titans mouth, but I had an idea to get out before I became this titans breakfast. he grabbed the handles of my blades and refreshed them with new blades, I took one last look at my crumbled leg before swinging my left blade at it, the pain was unbearable, that's why I held my second blade in my mouth, to crunch down on the pain. I keep swinging and swinging and until my leg untied itself my from my body. I had to act fast, I stood up on one leg, using the titans mouth to balance myself. I held by two blades by my side and looked for a soft spot in the mouth, I spotted one and started swinging at it, it healed faster then I could hit it, that's when I had an idea, I saw captain Levi do some sort of spin in one of the training exercises, if I could just do that. And without thinking twice I jumped up and started spinning my blades, and it worked. I sliced through the skin like it was nothing and ripped the titans head in half, but I had to finish it before it regenerated, so I quickly swooped down and sliced its nape, killing it.

I fell to the ground, the blood loss finally catching up to me, I could see two girls running up to me, Mei and Silica, their still here, I thought they would have left by now...? They helped me up and started to walk along the path, which hopefully led to the HQ. That's when it came, another 15 meter class titan walked round the corner, of and boy was it familiar, long blonde hair, a creepy smile, "It's him" That's all I could mutter. The Titan spotted us instantly and started walking towards us, I only had some gas left, and I was badly injured, silica and Mei had no gas left, what the hell do we do!?

That's when my hand slowly raised to my mouth, it was like my body wasn't listening to me anymore, I pushed Silica and Mei away from and bit down onto my thumb, the huge flash of yellow light come down and a lot of smoke filled the area. When the smoke cleared, there standing was a 15 meter class titan, with black eyes and long black hair. It started to Roar at the blonde titan before running towards it and punching it right in the face, the titans head came flying off and the second 15 meter class started stamping on the nape of the neck, making sure it was dead.

Mei and Silica couldn't believe their eyes, it couldn't be possible, Mark was standing there just a moment ago, then he's gone and a titans in his place, could it be that that titans, no it couldn't be, that's impossible.

After a long screech of the titan, it fell down on it's knees, then on it's chest, start to burn. Out of the nape though was something shocking, there he was, standing there, both legs, no blood, no scars, it's like it had never happened, but how was this even possible?

Holy crap that was a long one, 100 words off 5000 words, but I had a blast writing this chapter, has to be my favorite so far and I just wanted to say a big thanks for the people reading this, just knowing that people take the time to sit and read something you made and enjoy it is a really great feeling, anyways I hope you all have good time and stay swaggy my friends.
