Chapter 13: An Unexpected Alliance
Shaun placed a map down on the back of the cart, with a pencil, he marked on all of the important locations for their mission, the location of the castle, their current location and where in the facility the convoy would arrive.
Jenkins observed the squads' equipment, checking each rifle was loaded, every blade sharpened and every piece of equipment at its' best. He slammed a rifle down on the treetrunk and stripped the weapon down, cleaning out the barrel, firing pin and reload port. Jenkins reassembled the rifle and wiped over the gun once more before putting it aside.
A loud crash shook through the camp as a titan emerged from the treeline, limbs torn off and face clawed. The group had no 3D Manuever Gear, they couldn't advance on the creatures' weak spot., leavingf them to stare up at the beast in shock.
F/N went to bite into their hand and return as the Warrior Titan, but before they could sink their teeth into their thumb, the treeline rumbled as a second monstrosoty emerged.
The Mauler Titan pounced out of the forest, onto the Titans' back, lashing and howlinmg wildly, tearing the demonic monster limb from limb. The Mauler roared up into the sky and biting down on the otherf Titans' weak spot. Blood flew as the pinned Titan died instantly.
The Mauler Titan looked up at its' surroundings; An opening of land, occupied by 7 humans and a couple of horses. The beast didn't attack them, but instead focussed on Petra and David. The monster bowed its' head to them, closing its' tiny eyes. David unsheathed a sword and pointed it at the creaure as it opened its' eyes again.
The Titan jolted its' head and knocked the blade from Davids' shaking hand. The man fell too as the beast seemed to chuckle. David stood and aimed the blade again. Howevewr, the Mauler Titan was not hostile, it couldn't directly identify itself as it couldn't speak save for a few words.
"F-F-Friend." the beast choked, to no avail as Petra raised a sword too. The Titan opened its' maw to reveal its' tongue as it remembered and old habit. The Mauler Titan suddenly slammed its' maw shut without warning, Frightening the humans.
Petra raised her sword and roared blind fury at the titan, shutting her eyes and not looking to see what it had done. She opened them to see a gruesome sight, part of the titans' tongue hung lifeless ebtween the creatures' serrated teeth as blood dripped and steam flowed. Petra and David lowered their swords as they recognised that trademark habit and the Mauler Titan grinned happily.
The Mauler Titan had been there, during the deaths of Levis' squad, It watched each of them die one by one, until he too, experienced death. The name of the Mauler Titans' past self was Aurou Bozardo. And he was back, bigger, stronger and smarter than ever before. And he was going to help them win. For The Glory Of Humanity.
Yep, The Mauler Titan s Aurou, I bet you got that when he bit down on his tongue. That was(might be) the last twist, as I strive to kick it up a notch and the story will pick up as an epic battle awaits.
Stay Awesome! :)
