I Love You... In Every Universe (AOT Alternative Universe)

29. Beast Titan (Season 2 First Chapter)

"Let... go of me!" Nick said, bluffing.

"Like this? Right now?" Hange asked.

"Yes!"

"Fine, then. Die."

"Squad Leader!" Moblit yelled.

"Kill me and learn! We will fulfill our duty, without fail! So..." Pastor Nick said and threw out his arms and screamed. "...let go of me this instant!" His body trembled. "Deliver me...O Lord..."

With an irritated, sharp exhale, Hange flung him back on the Wall.

She sat, pulling her goggles down, laughing.

"Just kidding. I wasn't serious. Tell me, Pastor Nick..." Hange said.

He was lying face down, hands clutched before him, whimpering and still shaking.

"Are all the Walls made of Titans?" Hange asked firmly.

Moblit approached her. "Squad Leader..."

"Whew, I forgot how this feels. I haven't felt this way since my first time outside the Walls." Hange said. "Talk about terrifying..."

The scout recruits and the Mike squad were in a building in the south of Wall Sina while there was a fight going on between the attacking Titan and the female titan in Stohess District.

Connie looked bored out of his skull, elbow on the table, face in hand. He let out a sigh. Sasha sat beside him in the same position, looking equally bored.

"My village isn't far south of here, you know..." Connie said in a dull voice.

"My hometown is close by, too..." Sasha spoke in the same dull voice.

At the same table, Reiner and Bert were playing chess.

"Damn. Why can't I go visit?" Connie complained. "Maybe I'll sneak out at night."

"They told me not to come back until I'm normal." Sasha said.

"They told me I was too puny to be a soldier. Was genius enough to be one, though. I was in our class's top ten." Connie said proudly. "I'm gonna go make 'em eat their words."

"Connie, if you're serious, I'll help," Reiner told him.

"What?" Connie asked, tilting his head back. "How come?"

"Doesn't it seem strange? We're on standby in our plain clothes and we're not allowed to train or wear our uniforms." Reiner said and stood and approached the window. "Even more suspicious..." Outside, two Scouts were talking. "...is that everyone else is fully armed. We're inside the Wall, not on the front line." He turned to them. "Who are we fighting?"

"Well, there are bears in the area." Connie said.

"Yeah. Bears." Sasha repeated.

"Guns are enough to handle bears." Reiner replied and returned to his seat.

Sasha lifted her face from her hands straightened in her seat and he looked at her. She let her head fall on the table, ear pressed to the surface. Sasha gasped and sat upright, looking alarmed.

"I hear thuds! They sound like footsteps!" Sasha said with panic.

"Huh?" Connie said and the others turned to her.

"Get serious, Sasha." Reiner said. "If you're suggesting there are Titans here... that'd mean Wall Rose has fallen."

In the watchtower, Mike sniffed, eyes widening. He turned to look.

"Mike?" Nanaba questioned.

"Thomas! Take three couriers and go!" Mike ordered.

"Huh?" Thomas said.
