Chapter 31: Showdown of the Beasts
Five years ago.
After the fall of Wall Maria.
Gohan combed the entirety of the forest wishing to find a sign of his friends. He would even give Vegeta a hug should he found him. He used all the senses he had to further his search. But he found no one, no Vegeta, no Mr Piccolo , no Krillin, no Yamcha, no Tien, nor even Mr Satan and his reporters.
The Half-Saiyan frowned when he took a better look at the forest where Dr Jeager had found him. This definitely not the place where he had fought Cell. The landscapes were different from where the Cell Game had taken place. He remembered there had been plateaus where he and the Z Fighters had stood and watched his father fighting Cell and later he fighting Cell. And he saw no plateaus or at least a hill or any high ground here.
Whatever the green sludge from Cell was, it had sent him somewhere further away from the Cell Game. He came here to find an answer, only to came up with more questions. Where was this place?
He got back up on the horse the Garrison soldier gave him and strode off. He needed more clues. He needed to look elsewhere.
The horse was clopping across the field while Gohan was in a chains of thought. 'I don't recall anywhere on Earth that has man-eating Giants around. With all the media in world ,a populated place like this would be disclosed to the world in no time.' His chains of thoughts came to a pause when he saw a cottage in front of him. He slower the horse as he came nearer to the house, there must be some answers inside. As he went in , he recognized the old structure of the house, it was similar to the Jaegers' resident. The roof ,the wall , the design and the cabbage garden outside shared the same style of architecture of the houses he saw in Shiganshina. 'My house was old in design, but it is not as old as these ones.' His chains of thoughts restarted as he studied the house in detail. 'The lack of media, the antique architectures, the out-dated technologies, their history. What should I conclude about this? '
Then again ,his thought was interrupted , this time by the rumbling of his stomach. Gohan dismounted and ran straight to the cabbage garden. He plucked a cabbage and buried his teeth in it and in half a minute, he ate it whole . Unsatisfied , he grabbed another cabbage and started to gnaw on it. And another. Then another. And when he was full the entire garden was empty. He looked back to his horse who fidgeted intensely.
"Wow. Sorry. I should've left some for you." Gohan approached the horse, to which he took a good look at. He was covered in all white from head to tail, reminding him of the color of clouds . "What should I call you? I never had a horse before! Had myself pet dragon ,though, called him Icarus. Didn't know what happened to him. May I call you Icarus?"
The horse get up on his hindlegs in response , he feinted a few kicks at Gohan as he neighed angrily. Gohan looked around in terror , searching for a possible Titan that might have set the horse off. But then he didn't see nor sense any threat, not close by at least on the latter. Gohan smiled when he knew the reason why the steed became so unruly.
"So, you don't like that name!" Gohan patted on the horse when it calmed down. Then he recalled the Flying Nimbus his father used to ride. Though the cloud was yellow instead of white, Gohan knew the name would fit the horse. "Nimbus! How about Nimbus? Will that do?" Then the horse nudged his head to Gohan in agreement. "Ha-ha-ha! You like that, don't you?" Gohan stroked the creature's mane as Nimbus snorted. "Can you wait here for me,Nimbus?"
Gohan entered the house and observed the interior ,which this time it no longer shared the similarity with the Jaegers' resident. The kitchen ,the shelves ,the cupboards ,the tables and the bedrooms were positioned differently, but not unorthodox. The people who had been living here had left in a hurry, only a few cupboards, drawers ,shelves were opened. They had probably only taken the things they needed the most with them.
"Let's see what I can find here." Gohan went through the house the to search for supplies ,or clues ,or both. But he couldn't find any food ,only clothes that did not fit him and a hammer and some nails. He couldn't find any clue ,either .Gohan decided to keep the hammer and nails. We walked out of the house and approached Nimbus. He scanned the horse for a saddle bag, which it had, and put the nails and hammer in it. Gohan gazed around the yard where he had feasted on the cabbages and found an axe on a wooden block. It was when he got close to the block that he sensed and saw the Titans were closing in.
Nimbus nickered for him in distress. Gohan grabbed the axe and rushed to the horse and mounted. Without needing Gohan to rush him, Nimbus ran off to the forest afar, gaining distance from the man-eating monsters in pursue.
Okay,but what?
Gohan eyes widened like an umbrella as he went further into the forest, where he saw the size of the trees in it. He didn't recall that his world had such oversized flora. Unless, this was not his. He had a flashback of the timeline of Future Trunks . But the same thing applied to the world he was currently marooned to was way more complicated, in a sense that this was not the afternate timeline but an entire different dimension.
Gohan dismounted ,he hyperventilated , not of any physical health problem but rather a metal one.
"But….. But…. HOOOOOOOOW?"Screamed the Cell Slayer as he collapsed on his four. He covered his head while banging it on the ground. The question was brief but legit. He didn't have the Time Machine, he couldn't teleport like his father did . How could he possibly have transmitted to another dimension?
"Where? Where?Where is wall Rose?" He struggled to reach Nimbus' rein, this was not the steed's fault this time for the trouble, but Gohan's crisis. He mounted on Nimbus again, slightly annoyed the creature for his inconsistency. "North! Yeah, right, North! Where's North,now?"
He looked up to the sky to search for the sun which with it he could navigate his direction, just to see the sun it on top of his head, it was noon. Frowned that he could not navigate with the sun. He turned Nimbus around in circle as he tried to come up with another way to navigate. Then he saw Titans.
The Titans, although slow as they were, didn't show any sign of giving up on their pursue when they had their eyes on Gohan. Gohan spurred Nimbus to the opposite direction. He got his answer for his navigation math problem the moment he and Nimbus fled.
"Of course, the Titans breached from the South. We just need to go to the opposite direction and we may get to Wall !"He then patted the neck of his horse before he rush him to go faster. "We just have to keep going forward."
Gohan did not aware how long did he ride in Maria. It was until he saw the glimpse of Wall Rose that he noticed the darkness surrounding him. He stopped spurring, and Nimbus slowered it paces and gradually put itself to a stop.
Gohan turned back and saw no Titans nor sensed one nearby. The Half-Saiiyan chuckled when he knew he had cut them loose. He decided to command his steed to trot forward just to halt the attempt when he glanced at the sky. He saw on realm of Uranus, was a crescent moon,illuminated the sky with its dim light. Gohan touched the object that was wrapped around his waist. He attempted to forcefully rip it off, but it was like an invisible force compelled him to stop, to be precise he hesitated. Despite all the motivations and good reasons he mustered but there was something mentally stopped him before he could even started ripped the body part off. He was a Saiyan, half-blood or not,like Vegeta and his father, he would turned into a monster if he looked at a full moon, a greater threat compare to all of the Titans.
Couldn't bear to remove his tail ,and couldn't bear to threaten what was left of humanity with what he could become. Gohan turned his horse around,cursed his unknown reason of not removing the tail and rode away from Wall Rose.
Gohan returned to the Forest of the Giant Tree which he already assumed that this was not the only forest with the oversized vegetation. He took his time to observe the trees which he had never seen in his home world. He was then taken off his horse when Nimbus neighed and startled.
"What's wrong?" Asked Gohan, though he barely felt any pain but then he felt quite a lot of fear when he saw what Nimbus saw.
A Titan , a 10-meter ,lying on the ground in a fecal position ,it face faced Gohan,the Titan's eyes were opened wide and it gave him a smile from ear to ear. The creature saw him, but it didn't make a move ,not even a muscle. Gohan got on his feet and held his axe in combat prepare stance. But the Monkey Boy lowered his weapon when he noticed that the monster was immobilized and its diminished power level.
"You can't move?" He approached the Titan with caution and then delivered a powerful kick into the titan eyes which squished his foot into its socket. "I wonder if you are the only one?"
He sat on the saddle, the blood of the Titan vaporized when he secured his feet on the stirrups. He spurred Nimbus further into the woods, he would investigate more into his new finding, knowing he couldn't find answer to his stranding.
He found his answer almost immediately when he went further South. There were ten Titan laid motionless across the forest, sharing the same behavior as the ten-meter he saw earlier.
One question answered, another arose.
Why?
How?
"You wreaked havoc in Shiganshina during daytime, and you're all lying in the night like nothing's happened?" Gohan clutched his fist in anger ,he rode near one and screamed. "Hey, I'm right here! Come at me! You think this is a good time to rest ?"
What was lacked? What did daytime had to contribute to the Titans' activities whisl nighttime not? Gohan stared onto the sky ,what made the different between night and day. No sun, simple. Gohan wondered if the Titans fed on solar energy. That would be an irony that the unintelligent creature would discovered solar energy before humanity. If they took energy from the sun, it made senses that they couldn't move during the night. It was tragedy for humanity and the Survey Corps that they had not discovered this sooner, or just execute expedition during night, they would have avoid casualties and maybe,just maybe what happened in Shiganshina could have been avoided. Or would it? The Survey Corps must had a good reason not travel at night, the darkness would just impeded their vision.
"Don't tell me. Don't tell me that these monstrosities are diurnal." Gohan laughed in frustration. Never in his life that he was so disappointed after finding out an answer for a question. He regained his composure just as he figured out the practicableness of the finding. "Well, if our enemy is diurnal, we should be nocturnal." Gohan gazed upon the giant trees.
And the next three and a half months were like a montage of Gohan practicing a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. He studied the Titans during the day if he did not sleep. He hunted animals and foraged for fruits by evening. He even managed to catch fish by using his father's old trick, using his tail to fish for them. He took four weeks to build a tree house, acting as a lumberjack was an easy task for him, with just two swings, he would cut down a regular tree with his axe. Finding other building materials was the trick,however, he had to scavenge every abandoned houses he came across for nails,metals and even mattresses and all others. His best accomplishment was not building the treehouse ,hunting nor foraging nor fishing, but rather successfully trained his horse Nimbus to recognize his name and able to response to simple to complex voice commands, in addition , the steed grew on him. For three and a half month in his new routines ,Gohan was uninterrupted.
Until.
One night.
"God damned ,Kevil. We're lost ,aren't we?" Gohan heard a female voice below his tree house while he was having his meal.
"Quiet, Alice. The Titans can hear us." An old,male voice spoke.
"Oh ,shut the hell up about it, Alert. You know too well the Titans don't need hear us to come for us!" Barked the female voice.
"Fine, have it your way. I didn't think I'll be back with my grandson when I left anyway." Answered the old man voice.
"You two can stop know. Yes,we're lost." Gohan heard a third voice,another male. "The battle. The direction. Not that the higher-ups expected us to survive anyway."
"On the contrary, they….expect that we won't."Replied the female voice. "And me to think that blue-haired newcomer betch came to help us."
"I've thought so, too. When she brought us food and mead."Frustrated the older voice.
"And then she showed her true color as quick as my wife left me." The younger male continued. "Bitch demanded 60 talents for each person who wanted to be exempted from the operation. 60 Talents. Where the heck could we get those money?"
"Well, the Gov wants us dead. The up-start bitch wants to make profits from it. And you, the one with the ODM Gears, failed us." Bittered the female.
"Ha-Ha-ha-ha, fuck you!"Angered the young male, who Gohan assumed to the leader.
Didn't want the situation to escalate, nor did he want to leave these people in the hands of the Titans, Gohan kicked down the rope-ladder down to the trio below, startling them.
"Lord, have mercy!"
"Bloody hell?"
"Fuck me in the arse!"
The trio look up at Gohan, two of them ,the girl and the old man aimed their muskets at Gohan while a soldier in Survey Corps uniform drawn his blead in high combat readiness. They soon lowered their weapons when they identified him as human.
"Get up here! You don't want to be down there when sunrise!" Commanded Gohan.
"Age before beauty." The black-haired woman offered the oldman the ladder. The old man climbed the ladder, when he gained a necessary height ,she followed suit, then the soldier.
Gohan offered his hand to the old man when he reached the treehouse and pulled him up, it was when Gohan barely recognized him.
"You're Armin's grandfather!" The old man almost tripped when he heard Gohan. It took him five second to recognize the 11-years-old in front of him by looking at the boy's tail.
"Gohan?" The old man was mixed with surprise and happiness that he grabbed both the boy's shoulders. "Armin and his friends told me that you're dead."
"Presumed dead,sir! Please, take a seat ,sir."
"Oh, Gohan, you can call me Erikk." Said Grandfather Alert as he sat down when he entered further inside. By this time, the female soldier had arrived.
"Magnificent cratfmanship, Si…. Kid." She froze when she saw how young Gohan was. She trembly walked inside while staring at Gohan. "How old are you?"
"Eleven, ma'am!"
"Is there any adult?" The leader pulled himself up, he had heard everything. "Kevil Cartmann, Corporal, East Wing, Forth Section. Survey Corps."
"A failure!" Sneered the woman.
"That's Alice. And you must already know Alert." The curly haired corporal hid his anger to appeal to his savior. "I was only recruited for like a week ago. I was dubbed the most qualified for the ODM Gear. Albeit no basic training. And no navigation skill."
"And we lost." Added Alice, still snickering at Kevil.
"But that a cloud with a silver lining." Grandfather Alert replied, he approached Gohan and pat him on the back. "We got saved. We would've never met our savior Gohan if it wasn't for Kevil."
And then there were the tension between Alice and Kevil when Kevil smirked after Erikk's comment. Gohan quickly defused it by offering them food.
"I have some apples, berries, and some deer jerky if you're hungry." He grabbed a trunk in a corner and opened it to show the contents.
"If you're not a kid ,I'd make love to you."Alice grabbed two deer jerky from the trunk and munched on them. "Oh,meat."
"You're a life saver,Gohan."Erikk Alert took one.
"So, Gohan, isn't it?" Kevil took some berries and two deer jerky . "You built this all by yourself?"
"Yes,sir."
"Seriously?" Unconvinced Kevil. "By an eleven-years-old?"
"It was not an easy task. It took me a month." Answered Gohan.
Didn't want to press the matter any further, Kevil sat down in silence.
"Why are you here?" Asked Gohan. "Why would they send ill-equipped soldiers to fight Titans?"
"The reclamation operation. The Royal Government wants the Survey Corps and the refugees from Maria to take back Wall Maria." Answered Kevil.
"But what those bastards really want is to thin down the herd. They wish us to die to solve their food crisis." Said Alice bitterly.
"What?" Gohan could not believe such despicable action people could do something to their own kind. He rolled his eyes in despite for what happened. Fighting extracelestial threat for many years, he forgot how horrible humanity could be.
"At least a third of the refugees were drafted. Thank the gods that Carla ,Grisha and the kids were exempted." Remarked Armin's grandfather.
Gohan relieved when he heard that the Jaegers and his friends were safe. His blood still boiled of what he acknowledged of the reclaimation operation,its true intention.
"You get some sleep. The Titans don't move much during the night." Gohan sat down by the entrance. "I sleep during the day ,so I should get you back to the Wall tomorrow night."
"Back how?" Asked Alice.
"I have a horse. He must be around here somewhere." Answered Gohan.
"Wait, Gohan. You say you have a horse?"Erikk Arlert stood up. "Why didn't you just head back to Wall Rose?"
"I—have my own good reason not to return." Gohan timidly answered.
"He has a point." Said Alice when she had finished her meal. "With the lack of food and the unrest inside the Walls, one would prefer to live here once he knows how the Titans animate." She turned to Gohan. "How you manage to?"
"I hunt and gather during the night, sleep during the day."
"That's neat-o. I might have considered to stay too if it's not for the Titans." Remarked Alice.
"But,Gohan, you have only one horse, how can you carry all of us to Wall Rose?" Wondered Erikk Alert.
"Needn't worry about that. There are still carts lying about in the forest. We can hook his horse to one of 'em." Suggested Kevil. "Don't count on me to fight any titan,though. Not with my ODM is out of gas."
"Well, don't expect me to do the same,either." Alice laid on her back and closed her eye, shaking her flintlock rifle. "Tomorrow eve then."
"Well, Armin's expecting me. I even thought that I can never see him again."Yawned Armin's grandfather. "Well, the Titans don't move at night , better take advantage of that fact. Many thanks, Gohan." He lied down on his side and tried his best to sleep.
Kevil stayed awake with Gohan for a duration of two hours. He asked Gohan some trivial questions: How he built the tree house,how he fared in Titans Territory,where he from,what he liked… Gohan eventually ensured that Kevil had gone to sleep. Gohan dangled his legs down the edge of the treehouse and stared into the horizon. He sensed his horse was still in the area. The boy climbed down the tree house and begun the search for a cart he could convert into a wagon.
Grandfather Alert, Alice and Corporal Kevil woke up in the next morning to see that Gohan was asleep. They didn't want to bother him, so they took a small portion of food from his food trunk and enjoyed their brunch. And then they chatted and sight saw for a while until twilight when Gohan woke up.
"Thanks for waiting for me!" Gohan stretched his shoulders as he woke up.
"Not that we want to be In Titans land when they're all active." Said Kevil.
"Did you guys look down?" Asked Gohan.
"What?" The three asked in unison and look down below the treehouse to see a cart ,lacking a horse attached to it.
"I'll call the horse when we get down there!" Gohan started to climbed down the rope-ladder. "You guys'll help me tie him to the wagon and we'll be on the move!"
The three soldiers followed him to the ground, it took them five to seven minute to put the feet on the surface. They hurried to the cart just as one of them admired the view.
"Excellent timing Mr. Son. The moon is pretty today!" Said Erikk Arlert.
Gohan unconsciously looked at the sky in response, the action he would regret for the rest of his years. The moon was full. He mentally frustrated at the fact that he failed to calculate the days of the month or noticed the moonlight, but it was all too late.
Present time.
Wall Rose.
The scouts atop Castle Utgard had to cover their ears from Gohan's roar,which could had been the loudest thing they had ever heard in their lives. They stared Gohan with horror in their eyes, the beast before them that once their comrade and their best soldier was bigger than any Titan ,with the exception of the Colossal Titan. They glance at the Oozaru and then to the Beast Titan that was on top the Wall, they did share resemblance with a number of differences . Gohan's fur was covering his entire body, while the Beast Titan's missed out it belly and there were Gohan's size, snout and tail.
Three Titans bit the dust just before they were able to recover on their feet. Gohan crushed them with his foot, consecutively destroyed their entire upper-bodies , their bodies steamed and disintegrated, confirming their napes were destroyed in the process.
With three Titans in the horde killed, the other Titans quickly got up on their feet. Two of them charged the Oozaru and were quickly dealt with when Gohan's lowered his posture and swiped his arm , decapitated them both with one strike. Again, they disintegrated just as they collapsed to the dirt.
The earth shook every time Gohan made a step forward. A 15-meter Titan, half his size, unluckily got impaled through the face by Gohan's left hand. The said hand chopped down to its groin, cleaved the Titan in halves. The impact force was so immense that the Titan's head fell off and the corpse burst in steam, showing no sign of regeneration. Its nape was destroyed.
At Gohan's firth kill, Nanaba,Gelgar ,Connie,Krista,Ymir, Berthold and Reiner realized that Oozaru Gohan's attacks not only came with overwhelming strength, but also with precision.
"So, Gohan's …. a Titan?" Stuttered Connie as Gohan was still rampaging, tearing his way into the horde.
"I have no idea." Nanaba and Gelgar said in unison.
"Definitely not a Titan!" Said unconsciously Ymir.
"He's something different." Commented Reiner.
"Then what is he?" Asked Krista. Observing The Oozaru lifted up a small Titan and tore it apart like it was a sheet of paper.
"He's the Devil!" Berthold couldn't control the words he blurted out.
The rest of the scouts looked at him which made Berthold face paled when he realized what he just said. But then the scout switched their concentration on Gohan, who in his Oozaru form, throwing punches and kicks at the Titans, behind him was a trail of decomposing Titans, and the one that was not.
A titan which lacked its lower half,probobably, definitely a result of what Gohan did, grabbed Gohan foot and bit it to see its entire teeth shattered into pieces. The Oozaru simply grabbed the said Titan with the prehensile foot ,and crushed the thing by the nape.
As Gohan was distracted by his latest kill, the horde charged at him, attempted to pin the Oozaru down to the ground. But Oozaru Gohan stopped them all by just one hand and the Titans fell flat on their backs by the momentum.
Connie, Reiner and Berthold ,the 'veterans' of Trost recalled on the Eren's Titan fight. The Oozaru fought the Titans with more ease than what Eren had done. Eren had been able to be overwhelm by the numerical advantage of Titans, but Gohan was completely unfazed of any Titan's counterattack. None of the Titans before them could make a scratch on Gohan. To them, Gohan was no different than a big muscular man who bullied a bunch of children.
The Oozaru wrapped his tail around a titan's neck, dragged it with him when he went to stomp atleast ten of the other Titan's napes, turning them to their back with the prehensile feet before hand. As the remaining Titans recovered, he constricted his tail to the Titan that he wrapped his tail on and decapitated the creature.
There were only eight left. The Titans were just mere obstacles to the Oozaru rather than a threat. He lunged at one at buried his jaw onto its nape and tore it out like it was cotton candy and it vaporized in his mouth like one as well.
Another Titans, a 12-meters ,wrapped its arms around the Oozaru's hip,just to be picked up and bitten on the nape like the previous one. Oozaru Gohan expected a different result just to be disappointed. He roared another time in frustration.
The remaining six froze when they heard the roar for a brief moment, then they switched target. They turned to the tower where the seven scouts were and walked there. Seeing this ,Gelgar and Nanaba drew their swords and readied for combat. But they were saved the trouble when Gohan covered one Titan's head with his snout and flipped the creature right to the Wall.
The Great Ape grabbed two Titans by theirs upper jaws just before they reached the tower, a ten meters and a 15 meters. He spinned them around like a fan and knock out the other three. He ripped their upper heads off,then bit off their napes one by one.
A six-meter tried to stand up but was stomped on before it has the chance. The 30-meters Great Ape glared at the 12-meter and 14-meter titans that survived his primal rage, so far. He grabbed them both, each by their arms, ripped them off so easily that they weren't lifted to the air as he dismembered them. The two screamed in agony as he battered them with his fists until they were all reduced to puddles.
The blood on the Beast hands vaporized as he shifted into a quadrupedal pose. The Oozaru growled as he sniffed and crawled to the rubble that once was the castle's stable.
"Okay, what the hell he's doing now?" Exclaimed Gelgar when the people on the castle Utgard saw the monster dug through the rubble.
"I have no idea!" Said Ymir.
"Did Eren handle Titans this quick?" Asked Nanaba as she stared at the disintegrating corpses afar.
"I don't know ,ma'am. Ymir and I got inside Rose before everyone else." Answered Krista.
"Well, not as quick. Eren still had some trouble taking down the Titans in Trost,but what Gohan did here is something I wouldn't call a fight." Connie glanced down at the massacre before him. "An execution. A whole shit-load of executions."
The squad got their answer of what Gohan was doing at the rubble when he swallowed two dead horses with one bite. The scouts, never saw or knew that a Titan eat anything other than human, shocked at the sight of Gohan gulfed the ten dead horses, two at a time.
"Do... Is… does a Titan supposed to do that?"Trembled Krista.
"No. No Titan should feed on animals." Nanaba shook her head in disbelief.
"He needs the nutrient." Berthold fell onto his knees, shaking in fear like the rest. "He's not a Titan."
They were then then interrupted when the Oozaru made it move again, now on two legs. The seven remaining member of squad Mike froze in terror when they realized the beast that one was their ace soldier was walking toward them. When he did, the scouts looked up on him who tower the entire tower were standing on. The Wall behind him looked so small in the distance from their perspectives when the shadow of his upper body shaded the entire castle Utgard from the moonlight.
He gazed down upon them with his red ,bright eyes and growled nonstop. His eyes had no pupil, but Squad Mike could still see the hunger in them. The Oozaru grinned at them with his sharp, pointy teeth. The giant monkey had not attacked them yet, but there was nothing hiding his murderous intention.
"Guys, I think he was serious about us running!" Connie snapped out of it and warned his frozen comrades.
Then there was wheezing sound behind Gohan, the rest couldn't see what was coming because the Oozaru enormous figure had already blocked their view. But they all snapped out of their fear when a giant boulder hit the Great Ape by the back of his neck. The impact didn't seem to pain Gohan,though, but rather instead, it annoyed him. The Oozaru ceased it growled just to start it again as he slowly turned around to search for the perpetrator. The Great Ape look at what been standing on top of wall Rose for the entire time, the Beast Titan that showed few resemblance to him. Gohan stepped forward and suddenly crouched down. In all of the ones present there's surprise,Titans and humans alike, he leaped to the Wall with a tremendous speed and height.
"What the Hell?" The only ones who heard the Beast Titan words were itself and the Oozaru. It got grabbed in the head before Gohan sent them both to the otherside of the Wall where the territory of Wall Maria was.
"Captain ,I mean no disrespect but what the hell made you in such a rush." Said Oulo as he spurred his horse behind Levi, the rest of the scout also tried their best to keep up with Humanity Strongest.
"Yeah, Levi, where's the fire?" Asked Hange.
"Hange, do you remember the reclamation operation?" Answered Levi with another question. "The one that the fuckers in the Government sent people to Maria to die?"
"I do, Commander Erwin hasn't been Commander Erwin,back in the day." Confirmed Hange.
"I haven't joined the Survey Corps at that time." Levi slowed down so his fellow scouts could keep up. "But when I did, I heard stories."
"What kind of stories ,sir?" Asked Petra.
"The not good kind. Soldiers heard a scream, a roar so loud that no survivor from expedition hadn't heard it." Explained Levi in detail. "And an entire section of 820 soldiers vanished in an area where the commander at that time, Keith Shadis, speculated that little or no Titan presented there."
"Yeah, I've read that report, too. No survivor. Thought there were many from where the Titans massacred them, there were always survival. But an entire section of eight-hundred men and women? It'd never happened before." Confirmed again Hange.
"And there was no Titans?" Asked Nac.
"Not the one that lived. They'd found dozens of them laid dead when they'd gone there to investigate." This time was a soldier from Hange's squad.
"Did that all happen during full-moon?" Asked Armin, he knew that his grandfather died in that reclamation operation, so the topic was uneasy for him, but he did need answers.
"Yes." Levi's answer quenched the soul of all the scouts following him. "And what Oulo's said disturbed me the most."
"What I've said?" Pondered Oulo, never once In his life had his captain so concerned about what he had said. "Which was it."
"The soldiers there'd also found something else. Footprints. Titan size." Continued Levi.
"Oh, oh. I know this one." Added Ilse. "In the files. They estimate by the size of those footprints, the Titan must've been 20 to 25 meters in height."
"And the shape of the footprints….." Continued Levi just before he was interrupted by Hange.
"Shared the same features of the feet of an ape."
"Holy shit!"
"What the fuck?"
"You're serious?"
All the scouts in the caravan gasped at the description.
"So . . . weremonkey?" Asked Oulo, this time he didn't meet the aggression from Petra.
"Thanks gods we didn't let him look at the fullmoon when he was with us!" Exclaimed Mina, she started to regret joining the Survey Corps.
"I don't think we need to worry about this." Said Mikasa after a few moment of thinking. "He didn't turn. He didn't turn when he was with us in those two years of training, just simply by going to sleep early every full-moon."
"A very sharp observation, Mikasa Ackerman! But you seem to forget one thing, the Titans." Said Levi. And just to prove his point,Levi sensed it, Mikasa sensed it and the Survey Corps marching in Wall Rose heard it.
Now, all the Scouts of Squad Levi, Squad Hange and Squad Ilse assumed ,if not assured what they heard was what the surviving soldiers of Five Years Ago had heard. The roar was louder than the Female Titan's scream in the 58th expedition. The scouts braked they horses as they was hearing it, tension showed on their faces as they knew that Gohan had transformed. Levi and Mikasa were even more worried that what they sensed was nothing like a Titan nor human, but rather something like the Ki of 10000 Titans merged into one.
"Listen! Whatever the fuck the Monkey Boy has transformed into, avoid combat with him at all costs. What we're only need to do is extract our people." Ordered Levi.
"Yeah, Gohan is still ours! We should not attack him!" Added Eren.
"Not that!" Levi replied ,turning his horse to his followers. "Back at the expedition, Gohan's Ki was much, much higher than the Female Titan. In his Human Form. Whatever his true form is, he is at least ten times stronger now!"
" 'At least' is the operative word." Commented Mikasa. "None of us can handle it, not even together!"
"Wait, Captain. You mean even YOU can't handle him?" Asked Gunther, no one could recognize the soldier as his skintone on his face has changed color.
"Not just me, not anything or anyone we know of!" Answered Levi, he spurred his horse to the direction of the energy he sensed. "We need to get there before he finishes off the Titans around him! Get our comrades! And then haul asses out of there !"
"Double times, now!" Ordered Hange as she followed Levi ,and the remaining scouts spurred their horses after them.
Oozaru Gohan grabbed the Beast Titan by the face and sent himself and the Titan right down to the other side of the Wall. Gohan slammed the Titan down to the ground just before they landed. The Oozaru unhanded it and stepped on the Beast Titan with his left foot and let out a roar at its face.
"Just what the hell are you?" Said the Beast Titan in response.
To reply to the Beast Titan's question, Oozaru Gohan put pressure on his feet and crushed the Beast Titan's abdomen, severing the creature in half.
"Can it be?" Ignoring the pain, the Beast Titan asked Gohan again.
The Great Ape didn't answer, there was only primal hate and murderous instinct in his mind. He grabbed the upper body of the Beast Titan by the shoulders and tossed it away like it was a broken toy. He walked to the place where he threw the Titan to and look down at the motionless and mutilated monster who had killed Mike, Lynne and Henning.
"The Devil of All Earth?"Exclaimed the Titan as it stared in to the blood-red eyes of the Oozaru.
Knowing it would be futile, but the Beast Titan threw his fist at Gohan's groin which it hit. But Gohan didn't show any sign of pain or recoil,instead he grabbed the fist and the other hand of the Titan. With a roar and some growls, he ripped the arms off like they were made of tofu.
Oozaru Gohan stared down at the Beast Titan, now was only a head and torso. He lifted the creature up, turned it around to it back. At this moment ,steam burst out of the Titan body as he saw a hole in back of its neck. The Great Ape released the mold of its prey, and scanned the area for whoever escaped. He spent 10 minutes searching the area for the human who had been the Beast Titan just to find them nowhere. With no contender around, he looked back to Wall Rose where he knew there were several preys left.
Amongst the fallen members of Squad Mike, Henning's ODM Gears were still operational, so Nanaba removed it from her dead comrade. It took her quite a few minutes to unstrap all the harness attached on him. She headed toward Reiner and gave he the Gears.
"Put this on! Quickly!" Reiner hesitated for a second before accepting the ODM Gears.
"Yes, ma'am!" He started to put the straps on himself as fast as he could.
"You'll be carrying Hoover. We'll start when you done. Springer, you're with me."Instructed Nanaba, and she turned to Gelgar. "You sure you can carry the girls?"
"I have no other options! We need to get them out of here as faster than we can. Or at least, as farther from Gohan." He went on to help Reiner putting on the ODM Gears. "We'll spread out in three directions, making Gohan to choose. Fighting's not an option, we don't have enough fuel for that! Not that we would stand a chance if we do, not with how Gohan handling them like a child playing with food."
"How many time do we have?" Asked Connie,nervously look at Wall Rose.
"Depend on how quick Gohan deal with his dad!" Said Ymir, referring to the Oozaru and the Beast Titan. "He should have done by now, perhaps he wants to play with that fucker for some time."
"Did you just call that furry titan Gohan's dad?" Connie glared at her.
"Did you look at them two? They're both monkey! Though I should've said the other way around since the Titan's clearly Gohan's cub! But either way it makes more sense than your mother's a Titan!" Snickered Ymir.
"I'm gonna kill you before Gohan does!" Connie lunged at her, but Krista already stood between them.
"Stop it!It's enough! Two of us just died and Gohan turned into a mindless monster! Can you two please focus on what's at hand here?!" Krista tried her best to hold Connie back and screamed at Ymir.
"You two need to stop being children or we're going to leave you both behind!" Nanaba grinded her teeth at Connie and Ymir.
"He's ready!" Said Gelgar after Reiner finished with the ODM Gears, the information ended the conflict ensued between Connie and Ymir. "Hoover, hold tight on him!"
Berthold held on to Reiner as they both moved to the edge of the Tower. Nanaba ordered Connie to climb on her back and then she carried him to the battlement where she later stood on. Gelgar piggie backed Krista, then had Ymir wrapped her arms on his shoulders and marched to where Nanaba was standing.
"I'm quite confident that Gohan have eliminated all Titan inside Wall Rose. The only threat now is him. So, our objective is to gain distances from him until we're safe to travel on foot." Nanaba said a few words to prep the squad as they readied themselves to leave the tower. "As he is distracted, we can manage it!"
A roar diminished the scouts' hope. They turned back and saw that Gohan was landing on them,likely from the Wall.
"You just have to Jinx us!" Said Gelgar as he and the Squad used the ODM Gears to get out of the Tower before the Oozaru crushed the building with his mass. They only barely escaped but the shockwave from the impact disrupted their movement. Disoriented, the scouts lost their steering and was sent to the ground. They were all survive the fall with minor injuries by sheer lucks.
By per Gelgar instruction, the equipped soldiers ejected themselves from three different directions just before the impact. In results, they crashed in three spots on the ground,each of the teams was in a distance far enough that Gohan would not be able to sweep all seven of them in one attack.
Reiner was the first person to recover and he grabbed Berthold whose head was still ringing. He shot a line into a tree in the forest nearby and launched them both away from the deadzone.
Nanaba crawled to Connie was struggling to get up on his feet. She held the junior soldier with her arm and turned around to have a look at the situation behind her and terrified at what she saw.
Gohan immerged from the rubble that once a tourist attraction and head to Gelgar, Krista and Ymir. Gelgar and the girls stood up on their feet at the exact moment when the Oozaru got there. The scouts and Gohan looked at each other for an exact amount of five seconds before Gohan lowered his posture ,raised his right hand,curled his fingers into a fist and landed it on them.
"Oh,shit!" Gelgar turned around ,grabbed the girls and barely dodged the attack.
Nanaba petrified at the scene, hesitated between saving her squadmates or taking her chance to run. She then looked at Connie who was shaking and in tears. She remembered her mission. She swung Connie onto her back and headed toward the forest behind and shot up two wires.
"No, we have to help them!" Pled Connie as he knew Nanaba and him were fleeing.
Without a respond ,Nanaba burst up two columns of steams and propelled to the forest .
Back to Gelgar and the girls, the senior scout shot two line at the nearby forest and ejected. The Oozaru swiped his left hand at them and missed. He watched them entering the forest with Gelgar's ODM gears that he started to follow them.
Gelgar used the momentums to launch himself and his passenger to a tree. He then stopped on his track before he impacted on it ,and switched his posture to swung himself and the girls around the tree. He shot other pair of lines to the ground and retracted them, the force of the retraction helped them moved across the trees. And with the third time using similar method ,he was able to carry Krista and Ymir through the forth of the forrest. However,when he shot another line, Gelgar knew they hadn't gone far enough to escape from the Great Ape as he saw a black, gigantic figure leaped above his head and landed right infront of them.
Gohan landed right on the lines that Gelgar had shot previously, snapping them in halves before tripping Gelgar,Krista and Ymir to the ground. Three of them rolled through the ground when they landed and only stopped when Ymir landed her feet on a tree and saved the others by grabbing them.
Oozaru Gohan shook the entire forest as he slowly walked to where they landed. He was so close to them as Gelgar was almost crushed when he stopped by them, the scout's face was inches from the creature's foot. The beast looks down upon them, his sharp, shining fangs reflect their images from above.
"I expect to die the moment I joined the Survey Corps! But, I've never expected this would be how I'll go!" Said Krista in tears, she looked at Ymir and tucked her hand onto hers.
"No! Not when I'm still around!" Grunted Ymir ,she released her hand from Krista's and ran away from Krista and Gelgar. "KEEP ON KILLING TITANS, ANGEL OF TROST!" and she screamed at Gohan.
Seeing one of his preys separated from the others, and this one even dared to challenge him, the Oozaru threw his left foot to her. Ymir quickly ducked under the kick, and return on her running. The beast shuddered after seeing a prey successful dodged his attack, the beast growled and threw another kick at her. Ymir grabbed the foot that was coming at her and vaulted on it, she then jumped down to the ground and ran.
"YOU'VE BEEN KILLING ONLY TITANS THE ENTIRE DAY! YOU'RE NOT KILLING ANY HUMAN BEING!" Seeing that Krista and Gelgar were in quite a distance from her, she put one of her hands near her mouth "I'LL GIVE YOU A TITAN!"
A tower of lightning formed where Ymir was standing, causing Gohan to recoil. And from those lightning, the Oozaru faced a new contender. A 5-meter Titan with rugged hair, small black eyes, a large nose, small pointed ears, and long arms leaped onto the Oozaru's thigh and grabbed tight on it. The Titan opened its maw and bit onto Oozaru Gohan's right leg, it succeed where the other Titan had failed, burying their teeth into Gohan without their teeth broken. The Titan was able to rip off a chunk of flesh of the Great Ape's thigh in everyone's surprise.
The Oozaru growled in frustration rather than in pain, attempted to strike Ymir Titan down with his fist, only to miss when Ymir leaped onto his waist and made another bite. Gohan retaliated by slamming it other hand to her direction, and once again, missed. Ymir leaped onto every part of Oozaru's torso and bite of any chunk of his flesh as she did ,the Oozaru relatiated and missed everytime.
"Okay, cadet,that's our window! It's time to bail!" Seeing the Oozaru's growling and frailing angrily at the Titan Ymir transformed into, Gelgar grabbed Krista's hand and ran away from the fight.
Titan Ymir climbed on top of the Great Ape' shoulder and jumped onto his left arm and dangled on it. She crawled across the arm to his hand. She buried two of Gohan's fingers into her mouth, the ring finger and the little finger, and bit them off. Gohan let out a roar of pain,but he also seized the moment,Ymir had made a mistake for getting her inside his reach, he clutched his remaining fingers on her Titan's head and slammed her down into the ground. Seeing his new contender was immobilized, the Great Ape release her from his mutilated hand. He eyed her for a moment as Ymir started to regenerate, realized what his contender was, the Oozaru raised his foot and aim at the Titan's nape, and was interrupted.
A clear sound of gas bursting behind him, Levi glided behind the Oozaru's neck, the Captain sliced a clean cut with his blade throught the nape before the swords were broken in half.
"Definitely not a Titan!" Exclaimed Captain Levi when he evaded the Oozaru's backhand. He shot a line down to the spot where his horse was waiting ,soared to it and landed on the steed's back and spurred it away.
Gelgar and Krista were both running and observing the whole thing when they heard clopping nearby. Two soldiers in Survey Corps uniforms rode toward them, each picked up them on the saddles and changed their direction and ran.
Levi looked behind and saw that the Oozaru was standing still staring at the 5-meter Titan he had brought down. He urged his horse to go faster and joined the scouts that saved Krista and Gelgar.
"He's choosing between us and the 5-meter! Use that Time!" Instructed Levi.
"Sir, I thought you told us not to engage it?" The soldier carrying Krista catch up to him. "Why did you risk your life to save a Titan?"
"That Titan could buy us some times. You saw how well it managed Gohan, we need that thing to slow him down until we get to Ehrmich!" rebutted Levi.
"That Titan is Ymir! She transformed to save us!" Said Krista ,in tears.
"What?" Captain Levi and the two riders were surprised. They looked at Gelgar for confirmation which he nodded.
"Well,we did see the lightning!" Said Levi, closing his eyes to calm himself, another Titan shifter had been discovered. The scouts heard other cloppings from their right, Hange and the rest had joined them, with Nanaba, Connie ,Reiner and Berthold with them.
"So that thing is Gohan?" Asked Mina after the unit was assembled, she motioned her head to the Oozaru.
"Yeah, he looked at the moon and turned into that Giant Ape." Answered Connie, wiping away his tear as he saw Gelgar and Krista were safe, and that reinforcement had arrived.
"That's a very big weremonkey!" Comment Oulo on the Oozaro's appearance.
"We saw Titans' skeletons, did Gohan kill them all?" Asked Hange.
"Yes ,he did! Going through them like hot-knife through butter." Answered Nanaba behind Lelo.
"That means he targets everything. What he sees, he destroys!" Commented Hange.
The scouts startled when they heard a roar behind them. When they looked back, the Oozaru had started chasing after them. Despite the scout had a head-start over him, but with his long strides and velocity ,he got closer and closer to them, the distance between men and beast narrowed in minutes.
"He rather fast being that big!" Ilse gasped at the scene.
"Accelerate! Now!" Ordered Hanger, and the scouts fastened their paces on their horses.
Eren turned his head to the massive beast that once was his close friend. Like everyone else in the Survey Corp, he was shocked and his heart was sunken when he saw Gohan's true form. Another thing that terrified Gohan's comrades was that he intended to kill them in that form. The Oozaru was on the fleeing scouts' heel when he took the look.
"Oh, gods! He's inches from us!" Said Eren as Oozaru Gohan's shadow covered all of them.
"Would he recognize anyone of us?" Asked a terrified Petra as she spurred her horse as hard as she could,realizing how close her lover was to kill her.
"I wouldn't take my chances!" Answered Gunther.
Mikasa unsheathed her swords. She could sense the Oozaru's Ki, she knew all effort to try to either kill or subdue the monster would be futile. She knew none of them could out run Gohan either.
"He has to have a weakness!" Said Mikasa.
"Captain, Section Comander, may I turn?" Asked Eren when he knew how close the Oozaru had caught up to them.
"I don't know." Answered Hange. "Levi, should he?"
"Can you beat Gohan Son? Hand-to-hand,in your both human form?" Asked Levi ,he turned to Eren Jaeger who couldn't mutter a word to answer him . "So, No."
Oozaru Gohan growled from the deep of his throat and lunged his mass at the caravan of riders.
"Evasive maneuver!" ordered Hange as the convoy quickly split in two directions, narrowly escaped from being crushed by Gohan's Oozaru body.
"We can't outrun him like this!" Said a sweaty Moblit as he held his passenger, Reiner from falling off the horse.
"And even if we could, we'd only leading him to Wall Sina." Said Nanaba behind her rider.
"Can we just lead him around Wall Rose till morning?" Ask Jean then he got his answer when the Oozaru clutched his fit and landed it at the second segment of the troops. The soldiers there barely escaped death when they sped their mount suddenly.
"Our horses can't last that long!" Said Nifa who carried Berthold, she was among the soldiers who dodged Gohan's second attack. "And we can't dodge him forever!"
Seeing the Oozaru was already caught up to them, Levi sighed and unwillingly changed his plan.
"Anyone who has a passenger, keep running!" Ordered Levi, he unsheathed his swords looked at Hange, who already what he was going to say next, nodded. "Everyone else, don't attack him when he has his eyes on you!"
Had his sentences finished, Levi put his feet ontop of the saddle, turn around ,shot a wire and quickly maneuvered between Gohan's legs. The Captain shot a grapple on to the Oozaru back and successfully cut a deep wound to Gohan's buttock.
"Remind me, Monkey Boy, is this annoying or hurtful?!" Said Levi before he manage to reel himself away when the Oozaru turned around to his way.
Having the Great Ape's back facing them, the other scouts shot up lines and charge at him while six of them rode away with Berthold, Reiner, Nanaba, Gelgar ,Connie and Krista at their backs.
The scouts were able to riddle the Oozaru with several cuts when they reached him, which he retaliated by swiping his arms at them. Thankfully, none of them were injured since they had retreated before Oozaru made any reaction to their attacks. They landed on the ground 30 meters away from the Oozaru and waited for Levi to make his move.
"This simply will not do! I personally don't want to hurt him but whatever we did was pissing him off more." Said Petra as she and her comrade noticed that the cuts their made on the Oozaru were slowly healing, the only injuries that showed no sign of recovery were his two severed fingers.
Levi shot another grapple at the back of Gohan's skull and retracted the said grapple, reeling him towards it. Levi Ackerman raised his sword and make a deeper cut than last time to the Oozaru's nape. But unlike a Titan he neither died nor fell from the wound. The Captain gained a distance from the great ape, expecting him to turn to where he stand. But the Oozaru was a quick learner, he disregarded Levi entirely and turn his attention to the other scouts. He held hands together and leaped toward them and slammed to cojoined fists to the ground near them and caused them to fall off their feet from the shockwave.
Hange,Eren and their comrades struggled to get back on their feet while Oozaru Gohan strode at them. Horrors showed on the squad faces as they saw the creature face above them. Any who had recovered on their feet, immediately petrified on where they stood. The ones who couldn't recover were too scared to try to stand up.
"I give you my lunch! I will give you my lunch!" Sasha covered her face.
"I won't call you 'tailed freak' again! Please!" Pled Oulo as he and the scouts saw the Great Ape raised his good hand ,claws ready.
The Beast growled and struck his claws down to where the SOS were lying. Gunther ,Oulo, and Petra yelled in despair as the claw came down on them with great velocity, but Petra's cries were different from her squadmate.
"GOHAN, DON'T DO IT!" Petra screamed in tears. To her and everyone surprise, the claws stopped on their tracks, only a foot from the scouts' faces.
The Oozaru retracted his arm and focused his eyes to Petra. He slowly knelt down by her side and started to sniff her.
"Hey, I think he recognizes you." Said Gunther ,he steadily stood up and pulled Oulo further away from the Oozaru.
Eren, Armin, and Mikasa were the next people who slowly stepped backward from the Oozaru.
"It won't last long." Commented Armin as he counted the steps he took. 'Two,Four,Six, Eight, Ten.'
Mina and Nac and Jean crawled on their fours, following the direction Eren, Armin and Mikasa went. Hange and her squad carefully retreated from the area without provoking the Great Ape, some of Ilse's squad also followed. The only one who stay with Petra was Ilse, who was ready to extract Petra if there was a chance.
The Oozaru seemed to be calmed down after he smelled Petra scent. The beast stood straight up and started to glance around, giving Ilse a chance to catch Petra. She revived Petra on her feet and they slowly backtracked from the Oozaru, whom they had no idea how long would he be staying in his dormant state.
Abruptly, Ymir Titan appeared behind the Oozaru and latched onto Gohan's back. She started to redo what she had done to him awhile back, avoiding his arms and hands entirely this time. The scouts took this opportunity and used their ODM Gears to return to their horse.
"No!" Levi landed near Hange before she mounted on her horse. "That Titan won't last very long! We have to find a way to take him down!"
"What? How?" Asked Hange as she unconsciously look at the battle between the Titan and the Oozaru, the 5-meter was quite nimble moving around on Gohan's body and escaped every counterattacks. "You cut him in the nape and it didn't work."
"Neither does running, when he finishes whomever inside that 5-meter, he'll follow us to where we're heading!" Replied Levi.
"Sir, whomever? You mean a human is inside that Titan?" Eren couldn't help but overheard.
"It's a girl named Ymir!"
"Oh, shit! We have to help!" Said Eren.
"How? None of our attacks works!" Exclaimed Jean ,indicated at his tattered swords.
"He has to have a weakness. Try to remember ,Four Eyes, does he has one?" Asked Levi.
"A weakness? I don't think-" And then it flashed in her mind. She recalled the time she had visited the Special Operation Squad HQ, where she was alone in a room with Gohan and Eren. She had asked Gohan about his tail, he shown it and she grabbed it. "Oh gods, we've never tried to hit it!"
"Section Commander, tried to hit what?" Asked one of Ilse squadmate.
"His tail! His tail is very sensitive! Gohan was immobilize and in pain when I grabbed his tail back at the HQ!" Hange shared her knowledge to everyone.
At this very moment , the Oozaru grabbed the Ymir Titan and threw her away from him. After Ymir Titan was slammed onto the dirt , the Oozaru averted it eyes to the mounting scouts and crouched,ready to charge.
"Oh shit!" The scouts yelped as they realized what Gohan's about to do.
"Ackerman, I need you to do what you did with the Female Titan before he gets here!" Levi turned to Mikasa. "I'll take care of his tail!"
"Should've done that earlier!" Said Mikasa as she put her fingers near her forehead.
"Wait, if that works ,would he die?" Asked Eren, nervous at the plan in motion.
"Captain, hold up, should we consider-" Said Petra before the being interrupted when the Oozaru charged at them.
"Either that or we die." Levi shot a line 15 meter from the left of Gohan and propelled himself forward. "Now Ackerman!"
"Solar Flare!" A blinding white light came out from Mikasa's hand as she chanted.
With his eyes being hurt by the light, the Oozaru lost his footing a trip on his knee,one of his hand slammed the ground to prevent him from falling while the other covered his eyes. Levi shot a graaple onto the Oozaru legs and reeled himself near his tail. The Captain muster all his strength and slashed at the tail, and missed when the tail moved. Lost his momentum, the Captain barely landed on the ground nearby and grunted at his failure. Levi glanced back to see that Eren was also at the tail, the young man raise his blades in tears and land them on the Oozaru's alleged weakpoint. The Suicidal Hothead landed on the ground along the severed tail. The boy starled and darted away as the Oozaru's body stumbled and staggered before he fell flat on his back.
"I'm sorry, Gohan! We didn't have other choices!" Muttered Eren as he cried, thinking he had killed one of his friends.
Hange's unit heard clooping and neighing nearby, the seven riders with passengers had arrives to the scene. None of the scouts bothered to looked at them as all their attentions were on the unconscious Oozaru whose furs were starting to fall off and the body were shrinking.
Krista dismounted from the horse and ran at the motionless 5-meter Titan. From the nape, immerged a fatigued Ymir, who was then held in Krista's arms.
"Ymir!" Krista held Ymir in her arms, tears poured out from her eyes. "Don't do this to me! Damn it! We had a deal, remember? Hold on! I still haven't told you my name!
Only a handful of soldiers had their attention on Ymir and Krista, most of them already gathered around the deforming Oozaru. Their eyes widen in shock that the deformation was too different from Titan Shifter, some of them, Hange included, glanced at Ymir for comparison.
" Ymir. Just as promised. My real name is Historia." Ignoring her surrounding, she fulfilled her promises to Ymir.
Gohan had finally return to his human form. The boy was buck naked, all of his injuries were healed completely, with the exception of two of his fingers and his tail.
"Did anyone of you bring any spare clothes?" Asked Nanaba to her reinforcement.
