As the Reiss Family kept staring at the unconscious Nineteen year-old Eren Yeager, whom was retrained on top of the platform, Rod Reiss thought that it was time to begin the ritual. He stood in front of his family and raised his hands by his sides.
"At last. The Reiss Family will once again gain the power of the Founding Titan. And not only that, we will gain the Attack Titan and the Warhammer Titan, as well." Rod said, then thought of something.
Frieda Reiss stared at his backside, speaking no words at all.
"Rod, who's going to eat that man, up there? I'm concerned." Rod's wife asked in a worried tone, as she placed her hand on her youngest daughter's shoulders.
Rod Reiss let out a quiet sigh. "I've thought long and hard of who will be the one to devour that devil-ever since Frieda had left. And so..."
Urklyn Reiss suddenly took a step forward and approached Rod. "Father."
Rod turned to see his eldest son, Urklyn reach out to him.
"Apologies for interrupting, but allow me to be the one to put an end to that devil." Urklyn boldly told Rod, as he pointed upwards at the platform.
"Urklyn..." Rod's Wife muttered.
"Big brother... Dirk chanted.
Frieda stared with a calm look on her face, as her eyes shined a bright blue color.
"Are you sure that you want to obtain that immense power?" Rod asked Urklyn as he looked his eldest son in the eye.
"Yes. I am." Urklyn answered.
"Once you eat Eren Yeager, you will not only possess the Power of the Founder-like your sister... but you will also possess the Powers of the Attack and Warhammer Titans." Rod had reminded his son, Urklyn.
Urklyn slowly nodded. "I know. And I am prepared for that responsibility. No matter what it takes." Urklyn gripped his fists."
Rod looked towards his children. "Abel. Dirk. Florian." he called upon his youngest children. "Do you all agree that your older brother should possess the Power of the Founder-besides your older sister?"
"Yes!" Dirk quickly answered.
"This is the time to rebuild our heaven!" Abel jumped with optimism.
"And plus, two Founders are better than one, right?" Dirk said.
A young and timid Florian Reiss slowly nodded her head towards her father, as she gripped onto her mother's white robe.
After hearing his youngest Rod then looked at his eldest daughter, Frieda. "Frieda. I want to here your honest answer. Are you comfortable with your brother also wielding the Power of the Founder?"
Frieda had locked eyes with her father, briefly. Then looked at her brother, Urklyn, who looked serious, momentarily. She then glanced back at Rod, then blinked after five seconds. "I will go with what you believe is right."
Rod slowly closed his eyes, after hearing Frieda's answer. "Very well." He then walked over to and placed his right hand on Urklyn's left shoulder. "Okay, Urklyn. You have everyone's vote."
"Thank you, dad." Urklin chuckled.
"Please, be careful, Urklyn." Rod's Wife said in a concerned tone.
Urklyn quickly turned towards his mother and smiled. "Don't worry, mom. When I turn into a Titan, Frieda will make sure that I eat Eren." Urklyn said, referring Frieda's Founding Titan power. "And also, mom. I won't let the Power of the Titans corrupt me."
As Urklyn said it, Rod Reiss, himself couldn't help but think back of what a fifteen year-old Frieda said to him, three years prior.
Small Flashback
"Don't worry, father. I won't let the ghosts of our ancestors get the better of me."
Those words echoed within Rod Reiss' head. He remembered a tearful Frieda injecting herself with the Titan injection, then transforming. After devouring his brother, Uri Reiss, Frieda had transformed back into her human state. She was no longer a normal human, but... a Titan-Shifter. Rod had saw that the "Vow of Pacifism" had completely taken over her, by looking into her shining blue eyes.
End Small Flashback
Back in reality, Rod Reiss had pulled out a a small rectangular box from a white bag and brought it over to his family.
Rod's Wife gasped as she recognized the box. "Rod, is that the-"
Rod nodded to his wife. "This is the injection that will turn Urklyn into a Pure Titan." He opened the box, revealing the Titan Injection to everyone.
Frieda gained a small flashback of when she was fifteen and how she became a Titan Shifter.
Rod then focused his attention on Urklyn, as he somewhat knew it was time. "It's time."
"Okay." Rod then took the injection from the box the Rod held and begun taking his time walking in front of the tall platform. He held it carefully so he wouldn't drop it.
'Once Urklyn devours that devil, we'll use the Founding Titan to erase everyone's memories. Just as Karl Fritz did in the past. Then, we'll seek out and collect the other Titans on this island.' Rod Reiss thought of the Colossus, Armored and Female Titan.
After Urklyn took a few steps away from his family, he looked upwards at the platform and stared at the Nineteen year-old Eren Yeager still unconscious and a hundred feet above him. He stared, briefly. 'I'm going to do it. I'm going eat Eren Yeager... and I'm going to take back the Founding Titan...'
Meanwhile, Kenny Ackerman and a dozen people that Rod Reiss hired to protect his family had stood guard of the front entrance of the shiny blue crystal cave. Most of them stood on top of small platforms on blue crystal pillars. Kenny was the only one who didn't stand on a pillar platform as he stood on the ground. He dug into his left hear, trying to get something out.
Suddenly, the front door which led to the crystal caves had opened. And the person who entered the cave was Grisha Yeager. Kenny and the bodyguards Rod Reiss hired were alerted by Grisha's appearance. They watched him walk down the stairs.
"Hold ya horses, right there!" Kenny told Grisha, as he and his men had drawn his guns.
Grisha stopped as he saw a man with a hat, pointing a gun towards him.
"Sorry. But, this ain't no field trip, old man. I suggest that ya turn around and walk ya tail back where ya came." Kenny said to Grisha.
Grisha showed no fear as he saw that a number of bodyguards aimed their guns at him. His glasses flashed a white light, then begun to open his mouth.
Meanwhile, as Grisha had confronted Kenny Ackerman, Urklyn continued staring at Eren Yeager from below. He had the Titan Injection in his hand and was supposed to transform into a Titan.
"Urklyn!"
"Turn into a Titan, quick! Before he wakes up!" Dirk yelled to get his attention.
"You have to hurry, Urklyn." Rod's Wife said.
"R-right!" Urklyn pushed a bit of serum out from the injection to see if it was good. Then, he rolled up his right sleeve, revealing his right arm and pointed the needle towards it. Urklyn felt a bit nervous when he thought about becoming a Titan for a moment. A few orbs of sweat had formed on his face as his upper body had shaken a bit. Deep down in his soul, he was scared to become a Titan, because he knew that he would be shortening his own lifespan, if he did.
From a few yards away, Frieda Reiss could easily see that her brother, Urklyn was struggling to inject himself with the Titan serum. She would understand the hesitation as she remembered when she hesitated to inject herself with the serum, once she became a Titan.
Within the next second, as Urklyn continued to struggle with sticking a needle in his right arm... Frieda suddenly gasped as she sensed something, miles from behind her family. She swiftly turned her body around and stred in the direction of the front entrance of the Underground Chapel.
"What's wrong, Frieda?" Rod Reiss asked as he noticed Frieda turned her body around.
'No way. He's actually-'
A bright yellow light had illuminated the front entrance of the Underground Chapel, which caught the attention of the entire Reiss Family. The entire Reiss Family, including Urklyn had stared at the bright yellow light. Most of them were frozen in shock and in fear.
"What's happening?" Rod's Wife questioned as she embraced her daughter, Florian.
The entire Reiss Family then all heard a loud roar coming from the front entrance, miles away.
Meanwhile, Kenny Ackerman and his men were currently maneuvering around with their gear, attempting to dodge Grisha's swings and shooting their guns at the same time. Moments prior, Grisha Yeager had transformed into a Fourteen meter Titan. His main focus was on Kenny Ackerman.
"Hold em' off, til I get back!" Kenny yelled as he fled deeper within Underground Chapel, maneuvering pass multiple pillars.
"Sir!" A few of the soldiers replied, as they continued to stall Grisha Yeager in his Titan form, by maneuvering around pillar-to-pillar and shooting guns towards him.
Kenny grunted. 'Dammit! I underestimated this guy! I knew he had a death wish against me... but I didn't think the bastard could transform into a Titan!' He thought as he attempted to flee from Grisha in his Attack Titan form.
Grisha Yeager's focus was on Kenny Ackerman. His green eyes were filled with rage, as he ran passed many pillars and chased Kenny. Inside the the Fourteen Meter Titan's nape, Grisha gave a a glare towards Kenny's direction. He knew that Kenny was maneuvering towards the Reiss Family. 'You're not getting away. Not after everything you've done!' Grisha thought as he ran towards the Kenny's direction and attempted to swat away Rod Reiss' guards like flies.
Two Minutes Later
Kenny Ackerman maneuvered close towards the Reiss Family and landed on a nearby pillar.
"Hey! Are y'all done, yet? Because, we got a situation, here!" Kenny yelled, catching the attention Reiss Family.
"Kenny! What is happening?" Rod asked Kenny.
"There's a strange guy with glasses came out of nowhere and found this place!"
"A strange guy with glasses?" Rod Reiss muttered.
"The guy was standing in front of me, one moment. Before I knew, he just transformed into a Titan!" Kenny quickly explained.
"Turn into a Titan?" Rod had thought for a moment, then gasped. 'Could he mean...' Rod suddenly gained a small flashback of when Eren had confronted the Reiss Family. He remembered telling Frieda that a man by the name of "Grisha" will discover the Underground Chapel and slaughter the Reiss Family. Rod's mouth was seen open as he now put all the pieces together.
"Right now, my men are dealing with him as we tal-" Before Kenny could finish explaining, he found himself caught within a giant hand wrapped around his upper body. Grisha Yeager in his Attack Titan had caught up with Kenny and killed his allies. Kenny grunted and yelled as he attempted to break free from Grisha's grasp. The grip around his body was too tight and his arms could not loosen.
Grisha let out a raging roar after catching Kenny Ackerman.
From below Grisha's Attack Titan, members of the Reiss Family-such as Rod's Wife, Abel and Florian had started screaming in horror. Their eyes were teary as Dirk and his father, Rod Reiss had frozen in place and their eyes grew big. The sight of Grisha's Titan caused Urklyn's body to tremble.
Frieda was the most stable of the family, as she stared at Grisha's Titan form. She wasn't afraid, but worried that something bad would happen at the current situation.
While this is happening, a Nineteen year-old Eren Yeager's closed eyes begun to flutter.
Guess what happens next.
