The loud bang of the gun echoed through the forest, the ringing interrupting all the squads ears even though they covered them.
"An autistic shell?" Eren questioned Levi who simple glared back at the squad
"Tell me what is your job again? Is it simply to give in to your emotions or the
Moment" Levi questioned them with a glare "No it's not, this squads mission is to do everything possible to keep this brat unharmed, whatever the cost, don't forget it!" Levi finished glaring at his squad before he turned back to the front
"We keep going forward on horseback" Levi states once again while all the looking towards him nodding though Eren only continued to look confused
"Yes sir" Petra shouts along with the rest of soldiers expect Eren who simple gasped
"Push ahead how long! She right on top of us now- no! More reinforcements! There all going to die" Eren shouted as he looked back at the female titan watching as more and more solider came to stop them.
"We have to help!" Eren shouted facing the titan, face full of fear as he watched the scene.
"Eren!" Izumi shouted causing the boy to turn towards her "face forward" she simple glared at the boy who eyes grew wide.
"Seriously?!" He asked looking around at the squad in shock though they all glared.
"Don't fall out of step go top speed!" Eld shouted at him while the man continued to look forwards, anguish written on their faces.
"Eld please help them" Eren pleaded "those men need us" The teenager continued but his muth went wide as he looked back to see those men been slaughtered by the female titan
"We could've saved him" Eren shouted face consumed in furry and loss and he looked at the squad in disbelief
"Eren! Focus ahead and keep moving forward!" Petra shouted back at him as she looked at the boy glaring at him
"How can you all ignore what's going on?!" Eren shouted and looking all around the squad but soon his eyes fell on Yui who was shaking in fear and face full on regret as she struggled to stay still and not help.
"Yui?! Help me" Eren pleased looking into the women brown sorrowful eyes as she also looked at him. Her lip trembled
"I'm sorry Eren" Yui mumbled looking away from the boy as she tried to hold back a cry, tears brimming the women's eyes.
"Are you asking me to abandon my comrades?!" Eren asked eyes wide looking towards the squad in furry.
"Yes! I am! Do as the captain says!" Petra shouted returning the glared Eren has given her
"I don't understand! Why are we letting them die! Would captain Aya want this?!" He asked eyes wide as his attention focused onto the captain in front.
Eren soon looked towards his hand, before raising as he debated in his head whether he should turn or not to fight the female titan.
"What do you think your doing Eren!" Petra screamed at him while the boy only continued to look at his hand, The scream caught the attention of the rest of the squad.
"You only change, when you are giving permission" Ban shouted eyes wide looking at the boy while Eren simple ignored the man and tried to bite once again.
"Eren!" Petra screamed at him causing the boy only to glare though stopped once he heard the cold voice.
"Your not in the wrong, if you wanna do it, do it" Levi states causing everyone to turn to the captain at the front. "But Eren your not evil, just because of your ability doesn't make you a monster" Levi continued while the boy still held his hand near his mouth.
"Look Eren, the difference in our experience, is why we don't see eye-to-eye, but don't rely on that, you can ever trust yourself! Or the people willing to die for you" Levi said still looking forward while Eren's eyes only grew to widen.
"I don't know the answer to that. I never have, there no good guarantee, so just do the best you can and if you regret, good for you" Levi states looking back at the boy while Eren grew back to remember what happened during the week.
"Good news there might be a way of stopping you but not killing you" Levi stated while they all stood in a brick room, table surrounding the area while while Levi stood in front of the black boards.
"Huh?" Eren questioned looking around as his face became confused.
"Before, we said the only way to stop you in Titan form is to kill you " a voice interrupted as the teenager boy turned to see Aya sitting on a desk, one leg draped over the over.
"But this method will only leave you mutilated it depends entirely on individual skill, though" Levi stated while he drew on the blackboard, Eren watching intensely."We cut you from the nape and everywhere else, the ends of your limbs will get severed in the process but you will survive if they grow back that is" Levi continued before he looked back at the boy.
"But what if they don't, I don't want to risk-" Eren didn't get to finish before he top was pulled forward, Him meeting the killing eyes of captain Aya who held his top.
"What your saying is you will only do it without the risk " Aya glared as the boy looked down gulping loudly
"No-no" Eren shuttered nervously as he still continued to look down at the girl.
"Then prepare for the worse" Aya said her green eyes sparkling while a evil smirk appeared on her face before she let go of the boy's shirt pushing him away.
"We're in the same boat. You could kill us so we're even" Levi sternly states as the nervous teenager look towards him gulping but nodded nether the less.
"Yes sir...I understand" Eren stuttered a nervously chatter of his lip echoed through the room.
"S-so, I cant start experimenting, right?" Hanji asked as she sat on the desk away from the rest but still her rested her head on her hands, her eyes shining with craziness.
"It's risky, but we can't risk not testing him either." Levi simple states looking at the women unfazed by her expression
"I'll take care of the planning then" Hanji smirked before she made her way towards the teenager who gulped as the women came closer "Eren.. if your unsure about anything then just learn as you go along" Hanji smiled towards him
"You ready Eren?" hanji shouted down towards the well that the teenage boy stood in "when we're ready I will fire a smoke signal!" Hanji smiled down towards the well while Levi and Aya stood beside it
"Understood" Eren shouted looking up nervously. Levi looked down towards the well before his attention turned towards the blonde Captain
"Hey are you okay?" Squinting his eyes at the women, Her skin paler then usual and a red flush on her cheeks as the Women looked up
"Yeah just have a bit of headache that's all" Aya smiled nervously towards the dark haired man who still looked towards her unsure noticing the sweat bedded on her forehead.
"Stay back then" Levi instructed glaring towards the women, Who simple nodded before she made her way toward her horse.
Aya watched intensely, though she gripped her head in pain bit nether the less watched as the green flare signal coursed through the air. Aya watched and waited though nothing happened
"Umm he's taking a while isn't he?" Aya asked turning towards the other who's face also wore confusion. Aya rode her horse close to the well and running towards it
"Eren we're done for today!" Levi shouted following the blonde, but eh grew concerned as he watched the blondes eyes widened. He looked down to see Eren's hand covered in blood and some falling from his mouth.
"I'm sorry I can't do it now" Eren mumbled looking up towards them eyes wide with fear and pain. Aya gulped at seeing the fear evident in his green eyes.
Everyone sat at a table that was resided outside. While Aya sat next to Eren as she continued to hold her head in pain while the squad either sat down or stood up and looked towards the boy concerned.
"So the bite wounds aren't healing" Levi questioned standing away from the table a cup gripped from above in his eyes as she glanced at the table but his eyes fell on the Pale blonde.
"No sir" Eren mumbled looking down nervously gripping his bandages hand tightly.
"No offence but you aren't any good to us in this form, our plans for sealing wall Maria go up In spoke" Levi glared down towards the boy while Eren only continued to look away.
"Are you sure your alright captain Aya?" Yui voice interrupted as she leaned against the table looking at her captain in concern.
"Yeah just headache" Aya slightly smiled back waving the girl off though she felt her whole Squad as well as Levi's squad looking at her
"I don't think it is ,you look rather pale" Ban mumbled looking towards the captains as the dark hair man sat opposite her.
"Well you better figure it out, and that an order!" Levi suddenly glared causing all their attention to fall on the captain before he walked away. Aya watching.
"Don't worry kid" Eld smiled towards the teenager as he looked towards the squad. Yui smiled towards the boy on the end.
"Look on the bright side your more human than we thought" Yui smiled trying to reassure the boy who wore a slight tint on his cheeks.
"You'll get it soon kid-Ah!" Aya tried to say but stopped as she quickly gripped her head in pain. Everyone head turned towards the blonde, concern washing on their faces.
"Are you sure your okay captain Aya?" Eren asked turning to look at her as she resided in the middle next to him.
"Fine" Aya replied back while Eren nodded and turning though this caused him to drop his spoon, Eren reached down to get it but as his did lightning sparked causing a puff of wind.
BANG. A large cloud of steam appeared, as well as sparks of lightning sending the solider back more especially the blonde captain who sat beside him
"Captain Aya!" a voice shouted as the blonde soared through the air and landing of the ground with a large bang, as she rolled across the floor,.
"Captain!" Yui shouted running towards her as the steam began to settle. Yui stood in front of the blonde as she tried to get up, Sword out at the ready.
"Now I need you to calm down all of you" A stern voice shouted as Aya looked up to see Levi stood in front of their squads, a calm expression on his face as he protected Eren.
"Weapons down" Aya mumbled as she began to stand up slowly.
"We can't captain!" Ban shouted not even glancing at the blonde as he glared towards Eren "We need to be safe" He finished as Yui nodded along nervously.
"Besides Your in no condition to give orders" Gaku inputted as he looked towards the captain, a stern expression on his face while the blonde looked to see her arm all scratched, drawing a small amount of blood.
"Izumi?" Aya had questioned after she looked around to see she is the only squad member not to have her sword out as she simple stood to the side laughing and drinking.
"I need you to step away captain Levi" Petra screamed fear and anger laced in her eyes as she looked at the scene.
"None have you permission to change!" Gunther shouted wearing the same angered expression on his face
"Why would you change" eld shouted while Eren's head shot to look at them all, Sweat bedded on his face from nerves
"Answer him Eren!" Gaku shouted suddenly causing Aya head to snap at the boy before she looked toward Levi.
"Calm down everyone" Levi Stated glaring towards all the cadet with their swords out.
"Explanations can come last prove to us your not a threat" Ban suddenly shouted anger evidence in his voice as he grew closer with his sword
"Ban!" Aya shouted as she began to grow closer but the blonde eyes widened see Yui blocking her way.
"Captain stay there. You are in no condition to fight" Yui states sternly still standing in front or the blonde while the captain looked towards her eyes wide.
"I told you to calm down!" Levi glaring down at his scouts while they all still wore a worried expression. Levi looked to see Aya eyes looking at him
"You need to get away captain" Petra shouted at Levi while the captain head snapped towards her signing loudly as he still stood in front of Eren
"No your the one that need to get away" Levi glared causing the women eyes to widen
"Why on earth-" Petra began but stopped once she was met with the cold glare of the captain who looked towards her frowning
"Gut feeling" Levi simple stated, Aya looked towards though her attention soon snapped else where.
"Say something Eren!" "Say something""Prove it" Everyone kept shouting at the boy as his eyes widened even further at all the word while Aya eyes looked towards him concerned as she tightened her fist.
"SHUT THE HELL UP ALL OF YOU!!!" Aya suddenly shouted causing everyone to jumped as Yui looked back eyes wide moving away from the blonde captain who exhaled loudly before she glared at them all.
"Can't you see the kid is scared and doesn't know what to do, he obviously is just as shocked as you so leave him alone, all of you, that's an ord-" Aya tried to reason but her words came slower as she wobbled a bit.
"Aya?" Levi looked towards her concerned on see her whole boy womble though he was to late as her body tumbled to the floor while everyone's eyes were wide.
"Captain!" Yui shouted eyes wide as she rushed towards the fallen blonde, dropping her sword in the process while Levi followed picking up the girl so she lean on him
"She has a temperature" Levi states as his hand rested on the blondes head who was breathing heavily "Get her to bed" Levi order while Yui nodded picking her up with the help of Izumi as she had ran over
"Eren!!!" Hanji shouted a wide grin on her face as she ran over "I want to touch the arm! I want to touch the arm" Though as she touch her skin her retreated screaming in agony
"Ahh! That hot when there is no skin" Hanji shouted backing away "What a glorious day! Wonderful science!" Hanji had shouted raising her arm happily.
"Your a maniac!" Moblit shouted his blonde hair covering his face as he looked at his commander eyes wide
"How is it connect to your arm" Hanji shouted eyes wide ass he shot up and ran towards the arm, As she asked Eren unattached his arm causing it to start dissolving "No! No!" Hanji scream in furry .
"You feeling okay or what?" Levi asked looking down towards the boy who had fallen. Eren looked up to meet his silver eyes before he looked away
"Not.....Exactly" Eren has trailed off panting loudly as all the solider looked towards him, the titan spoke consuming the air.
" I never realized how little they trust me" Eren mumbled as he sat on one of the steps near the bottom while the cold Captain stood leaning against the wall. Though both's attention soon fell onto the blonde as she made her way down
"It's understandable, you are a Titan after all" Aya simple stated as she sat beside Eren patting reassuringly on his shoulder "But they will in time but you also have to trust them as well" she finished of looking at Eren then Levi
"Shouldn't you be in bed" Levi glared towards her as Aya turned to look at the dark haired captain meeting his cold silver eyes
"No, I feel better now" Aya smiled towards him though Levi still continued to look at her before his attention fell onto Eren.
"Their not heartless or cold, there just scared and want to stay alive" Levi simple stated before he looked away from the boy, Aya nodded agreeing with Levi. Though the clapping of heels alerted the three
"Captain Levi and Aya, section Commander Hanji would like a word" a soldier shouted as he stood on top of the stairs looking down towards the two.
"What crap did you find this time" Levi glared as he walked into the room, Eren closing the door on the way into the room.
"Feast your eyes on this" Hanji exclaimed loudly as she brought a cloth out and unraveled it to reveal a silver spoon.
"That's the spoon right?" Eren asked eyes wide as he looked at the spoon as did everyone else.
"Yep, that Titan hand you have created was holding this, The spoon wasn't melted due to the heat, Any thoughts on the matter?" Hanji questioned looking towards the boy eyes simple furrowed
"All I know is I went to pick it up, when I did the arm cam out of nowhere" Eren stuttered nervously as he could feel everyone looking at him.
"Ah, this might explain why you couldn't change in the well" Hanji mumbled as she looked towards the spoon, Eren eyes were wide looking at it. "In each instance, you had a clear goal, prior to transforming, I believe self harm isn't the only trigger to it" Hanji began to explain while Eren gasped
"It's true that this latest transformation is similar to when I stopped that cannon shot, but I transformed into a titan to pick up a spoon...that's crazy " Eren states eye wide as well as his mouth as he looked towards his hand.
"Don't worry kid, I do weird stuff when I'm drunk" Izumi laughed as she made her way towards the young boy and placed his arm around the boy who looked towards the strangely.
"What you saying is you didn't break the rules. it was on accident?" Eld questioned while both the boy and Izumi turned to the man as Eren wore a nervous expression.
"That's right" Eren simple states but then all the squad members except form Izumi looked at each other before they bit deeply into their hands
"Eww, that's disgusting" Aya cringed her face tense up looking towards it disgusted at the action.
"Wait...! What are you doing?" Eren asked stuttered eyes wide as he look at all the adults shocked.
"Ah!" Gaku whine shaking his hand in pain, While Izumi simple pointed as laughed at the man in pain
"This really hurts" Eld Groaned in pain, holding his hand just like the rest "I'm impressed you can bite so Deeply" Eld finished looking towards the boy bewildered.
"We're deeply sorry, Eren" Yui mumbled as she bowed towards him respectfully while Eren face lighten up with a blush.
"Umm.. don't do that's it's alright" Eren stuttered waving his hand in embarrassment while Yui smiled towards him.
"Consider this our way of apologizing" Gunther mumbled a small smile appearing on his face while Eren eyes grew wide.
"We're doomed if we cant trust each other like you to rely on us, and trust us like we will trust you" Petra smiled while the rest of the squad nodded along with her, Eren looked at them all bewildered
"Trust us Eren!" Petra shouted pleading as she looked at him as they rode their horse, Intensity written on their faces as they looked at the teenage boy
"Hurry and decide already!!" Levi shouted rather angrily glaring at the boy as the clapping of the horse grew faster and faster.
"I'm with you!!" Eren shouted placing his hand back onto the reign while their eyes were wide looking at the boy before they continued to ride.
"S-She's getting faster!" Yui shouted panicking as she looked back towards the the female titan after she had killed the last of the soldiers.
"Just keep moving! We will out run the bitch!" Levi shouted while Eren eye grew wide looking all around at the different solider. Yui expression was panic but nether the less kept moving forwards.
They all continued to ride their horse, the female titan growing faster and faster till she was right at their trail. Eye filled with fear, scared that death is awaiting them but soon the female titan has stopped.
"FIRE!" A loud shout came out as the fire went off towards the female titan, while a blonde captain stood in the tree's smirking widely as she watched the female titan be held by wire.
"We have you now"
