Chapter Fourteen: Preparations
David placed his hand on the face of the Mauler titan as his entire brain went into chaotic confusion. How was it Aurou? did those sick freaks in that Castle do this? Why? The beast moaned in response as he welcomed his brother.
Shaun slowly paced towards the titan as he sheathed his blades, The Mauler Titan turned and growled at him, baring his teeth. David stepped forward, blocking his brother from attacking his friend. "relax, he's a friend." He spoke softly to the giant. Shaun pointed to the Survey Corps Insignia on his back as he turned around, indicating he was an ally, Shaun turned around again and saluted the Titan. The Mauler Titan slowly nodded and stood. He folded in his secondary arms as he placed one of his main arms behind his back and the other to where his heart was. Shaun grinned, Never in his time, did he think he would see a titan salute him.
Jenkins looked at the scenario in pure confusion and panic, "what the hell? so we've got two titans on our side? " He yelled in concern as he tried to piece together all of the events which had just happened.
The Mauler Titan approached Dr Jaeger and lowered his head to the mans' level, staring at him with sharp eyes as he recognised the person who had transformed him into what he was now. The titan let off a soft growl before nodding at the scientist in appreciation for his life. Aurou had been resurrected by this man, he was glad that he was alive, but he also respected Dr Jaeger because he had served alongside his son, who he wished he had not been so harsh to.
Shaun signaled his squad in around the centre of their improvised camp, "alright, I have a plan on how we are going to take that Castle." He looked up at the Mauler Titan, "and I know you can understand me too, right?" The beast nodded, "good. anyway, we ambush one of the Military Police teams searching for us, we take their Maunuever gear and roll on our main target."
"How? We've barely got enough ammo to take the convoy, How will we kill them?" Jenkins whined. F/N stepped forward, placing the map out on the floor. "we could use Me and Aurou to chase the soldiers, leading them right into a clearing here..." Sophia grinned, "yeah, then we could be waiting here, here and here with rifles," she pointed to the three locations on the map, "then we snipe them out of the sky. without any trees for them to connect their cables to, they'll be sitting ducks!"
"seems like a good idea to me." Petra spoke up, "We'll need to get back to the city as soon as possible, so we can take the Military Police down for this. Its' all I've got left guys." Shaun took command again, looking at his squad; Petra, F/N, Sophia, Jenkins, Jaeger, David and a god-dammed Titan. "Everyone, get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day. Every morning, I thank the Walls for every day I'm in the Survey Corps, so I'm gonna be Good-God-Dammed if I'm gonna let the Military Police take that away from me. So tomorrow, The Military Police is going down for all the crap they've put us through and taken from us."
I don't know if you've noticed, but over the past few chapters, I've been putting 'Aliens' references left, right and centre. Even the character 'Jenkins' is supposed to resemble Hudson, saying similar lines and behaving the same way in combat.
Stay Awesome!
