Ughh 'What happened…' these were the pained and confused thoughts of Optimus Primal who was suddenly ripped from time and space.
The behemoth gorilla made up of metal and fur blinks his two optics. He scans his surroundings and sees he is in a forest with tall trees. His optics widen "This cannot be…"
A few seconds before, Primal was with the other Maximals, and now he's in a whole new different area. "That wormhole took me somewhere unknown." He observed. "I have to get to higher ground."
The behemoth gorilla slowly gets up into fours, still getting his bearings after being dropped. However, he notices that his size felt more twice as large. He might just be imagining it, so he shakes the thought off.
Primal then goes to the nearest tree and climbs it.
In a matter of seconds, he reaches the top. One hand holding on to a branch, two feet steadying on a lower branch, and one hand clearing the leaves to see the view.
What he saw was… undeniably… out of this world.
Large versions of humans without garments were making their way, to which Primal speculated, an approximately 100 feet tall wall that had looked to be compromised by something bigger.
The roaming giants were varying in sizes, some were at least 50 feet tall, others were 32 feet tall, and the majority were 16 feet tall.
"What the hell is this…?" Primal asked, greatly horrified. "What kind of twisted world did I get sent to?" The behemoth gorilla contemplates for a few seconds, until…
He notices smoke coming from within the walls, and normal sized humans were running frantically to evacuate.
It was at this moment, that Primal knew, he has stop the titans from wreaking havoc. It doesn't matter where he is. Threats are visible, and innocent lives are at stake.
With a fearsome roar, the Maximal Leader launches from the tree and lands on the ground with an impact, leaving a crater size of him.
He starts making his way to the wall where the giants are, knuckles dragging on earth while moving wildly.
…
…
…
Meanwhile within the walls…
Two kids are trying to get a woman out from a rubble due to a boulder landing on the house.
"Eren, please! You can't keep doing this!" the woman pleaded to the boy. She turned to the girl beside the boy, "Mikasa, talk some sense into him!"
"We won't leave you." The girl presumed to be Mikasa said defiantly. "We'll get you out of here."
"That's right!" the boy named Eren agreed. "So stop acting like it's all over for you!"
Sigh "My legs are crushed." The woman says to Eren. "Even if you do get me out. How long before a titan comes and eats all of us?" She gravely asks.
The boy, Eren, stood determined, "That won't happen. As long as we have time, then we're good." He said confidently.
However, the moment was short lived, as a 15 meter titan with a creepy smile came in view to the three humans.
"Hey! Looks like you got a titan problem there! I'll handle this!" A voice cut through the dreaded situation. They turned to see a blonde man with a confident grin, wearing some sort of military uniform, which had a rose emblem on the left breast pocket and on the side of each shoulders.
"Hannes!" the woman pleaded to the man. "Please take the children and get them as far away as you can!"
"Ah, come on Carla!" the man identified as Hannes said. "I think I know when the situation seems dire. This is just one titan." Hannes dismisses the woman's concern.
The blonde man then pulls out his two swords, designed specifically to cut the nape of a titan. His manoeuvring gear, produced to make a person a light target to titans.
Although, Hannes stops and looks terrified of the titan. He quickly sheathes his swords and starts carrying the two children over to safety. This makes Eren shocked and starts protesting against Hannes' shoulder.
"What are you doing!?" the boy asks, outraged. "We can't leave her there! I thought you were a soldier!" He punches the man's back over and over.
"Listen to me, Eren!" Carla's yell gets Eren's attention. "You must run! There was no time to get me out of here! So please, get to safety." The woman breaks the truth to her son and lets out tears.
"Not without you!" Eren stubbornly says. "Let us help!" He lets out a few tears.
"I'm sorry Eren. I wish we could've talk after what happened." The woman accepts her fate as the smiling titan grabs her from the rubble. While Hannes carrying the two children further away, watched it unfold on what might be Carla Yeager's death.
That was until… a miracle happened…
A massive form punches the Titan's head off and grabs the woman out of its hands. Its appearance looked to be animalistic. A mammal resembling a primate and knuckles dragged on to the ground. Its skin was made up of metal and fur. And it stood 10 meters tall.
This was Optimus Primal, who arrived just in time to save the woman from being devoured. Of course, this was a shock to the humans who were gobsmacked by the mysterious primate.
Hannes and the children had no words, while Carla stared fearfully at the massive goliath that's holding her.
The primate moves towards Hannes and the children, its weight thumping the ground. The blonde man thought that the creature was going to try to eat them.
"Stay back!" He yells while holding Eren and Mikasa in his arms. "Don't come any closer!"
To their surprise, it sets Carla down in front of them. The woman looked petrified, and quickly goes to the three.
"Hey! Your legs are fine!" Eren pointed out in anger. "You lied to us!"
"I was trying to save your life!" Carla retorts to her son in frustration. "Why don't you listen to me!?"
Hannes, on the other hand, is curious about something "Hey… Uh… I don't want to disturb your argument but… That thing is staring at us." He points to the large behemoth that was looking down at them.
Its facial expression mirrored, what the humans could describe, relief and concern. If they weren't surprised the first time, they're about to be surprised even more.
"I'm not the one to fear, humans."… … … It goddamn spoke. This mysterious primate spoke! "More titans are coming. You need to leave now." its voice is deep and has a commanding tone.
This makes the four humans do a double take, and made sure they weren't hearing things.
"Did that thing just spe-ak?" Eren asked, stuttering. "You heard that right?"
Hannes shuddered "I wish I didn't." the blonde man was finding it hard to believe that the creature spoke. "This feels like a dream."
"I assure you it is not a dream." The behemoth spoke again. "A horde is on its way here. Leave while you can before it is too late."
Mikasa gains the courage to ask "Who are you…?" as she looks up at the mysterious saviour.
…
…
For a moment, the massive primate was contemplating. And then… "I am Optimus Primal. And I've come to stop the titans from bringing harm to this world." He spoke with conviction.
The behemoth gorilla lets out a roar, and leaps into action against the oncoming swarm of giant monstrosities.
When he was nearing them, he jumps in the air to change into his bipedal form. Waist rotating as his legs become longer, armoured chest revealing his Maximal symbol, battle mask encasing his face, and finally... pulling out his dual swords, connecting them to make a sword staff.
Primal lands on the ground with a thump and makes contact with the first titan.
