Chapter 34 - Attack Titan 2

" This lift leads to the resupply area, the only thing we need to worry about now is the titans down there." (Armin)

" I suppose you have a plan for it?" asked Asriel with a smile while maintaining his gear, checking how much gas is left and if the blades were dull.

" Yes, but it will be risky," replied Armin with a grave face.

" How risky?" (Jean)

Armin turned towards Jean and said, " Very, we would be up close and personal with the titans with no ODM gear. We will ride the lift down and stop at the eye level of the titans. I'm sure they will be attracted to the noise the lift makes so, we will use the guns over there to shoot out their eyes when they get close while some of us will hide on the pillars with the ODM gear and strike when they are disoriented," said Armin in one go making him huff and puff for a while.

*swish* *Roooaaarrrr* *splash* *pshhhhh*

" Wha?! It's coming from the bas.e.m.e.nt!" (Connie)

A few moments later.....

" It's silent now," said Sasha, a little creeped out by what is happening.

" What happened? It sounded like somebody was killing the titans down there," asked a confused Armin.

" I....I....think it's the ghosts of our fallen brothers and sisters. They must have came back to get their revenge on the titans!" screamed a scared Sasha.

" He...hey, that's not funny man, wh....what are you talking about?" said a shivering Connie while sweating cold sweats.

" Ha! It's ghosts alright, they will come up soon and kill all of us," said Annie trying to scare both Sasha and Connie.

" Hiiiiiiiiiiii" screamed Sasha and hugged Connie.

" Mou~ There is no such thing as ghosts, stop trying to scare them, Annie," said Christa with a pout while stomping her leg.

" Haha, I can't believe they are more afraid of ghosts than the titans," (Marco)

" Ghosts are intangible!!! At least we could kill titans but we can't even touch ghosts!!!" screamed Sasha. Connie was feeling faint hearing what Sasha said.

*sound of lever being pulled down*

" Mikasa, what are you doing?" asked Armin confused as to why Mikasa pulled down the lever of the lift to go down.

" Fetching Eru," replied Mikasa with a monotone.

" Huh? Why would Asriel be down......don't tell me, was it him just now? The sounds?" (Armin)

" Nn" nodded Mikasa.

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Armin said. They all looked towards the lift to see if what Mikasa said was true. After a while, they heard lift coming back up so they waited with bated breath hoping it was true. Asriel stepped out of the lift when it reaches back to the top floor where the rest of the cadets were.

" Alright guys, the bas.e.m.e.nt is free of titans, let's go refill our supplies and get out of here," said Asriel, waving at the lift for the cadets to go in. Everyone was utterly astonished with their jaws nearly touching the ground, except his girls as they expected this outcome.

" What are you all doing gaping like a fish? Hurry up and go," shouted Asriel with some irritation. His girls were the first to move and gave him a small peck on his lips when they went passed him to show their gratitude and affection.

The cadets quickly regained their cool and proceeded towards the bas.e.m.e.nt, some of them taking the lift while the others taking the stairs. One thing in common was that they all had a look of respect and awe on their faces when they went pass Asriel, praising him on their way, except one. Bertholdt was fuming with rage but he still decided to wait for a better opportunity to kill Asriel. The cadets were once again astonished when they saw that there were 6 titans down in the bas.e.m.e.nt, judging by the still evaporating carcasses. They praised Asriel again in their minds for managing to defeat 6 of them with little to no light. After they had all refilled and refitted their supplies they went to the top of the castle to see what the situation was on the outside.

" Whoa, that titan is being eaten by its own kind!" (Connie)

Suddenly, it gave out a loud roar, shaking off the titans feeding on him and rushed towards one particular titan, smashing its face in and biting its head off from the nape.

" That.....that titan...it was the one that ate Thomas," (Mina)

" Yeah......but why was that titan attacking it with such brutality?" (Armin)

" Maybe it just doesn't like how it looked?" (Connie)

" I'm pretty sure that's not how they work Connie," answered Armin with a wry smile.

" Hmm...looks like this is it, get ready to move out," as soon as Asriel said that, the titan fell down and started to evaporate. From within the titan came out Eren flipping his head to the back like a woman flipping her wet hair acting s.e.xy and whatnot.

" No way....Eren!!" screamed Armin as he rushed towards Eren.

" Mikasa, Annie, keep the other titans away from Eren, I'll go check up on him," (Asriel)

" I'll come with you," (Christa)

While Mikasa and Annie took care of the titans around the castle, Asriel, Armin, and Christa helped Eren get back on the roof of the castle. [So this is what he was hiding] though Annie.

" What is going on? How could Eren just....come out of the titan??" (Jean)

" I don't know as well but we have to get back to the wall, Eren need medical assistant, fast," said Asriel as he carried Eren like a sack of potato and retreated towards the wall, followed by his girls and the others. On the way, Asriel stuffed a rag inside Eren's mouth for obvious reasons.

" His arms.....and legs......they.....are restored," murmured Armin, looking at Eren's leg and arm area.

" Huh, did you say something?" asked Connie who was beside Armin.

" No....no......its nothing" replied Armin shaking his head.

Like in the anime Asriel, Armin, Eren, and the girls were put at a gunpoint when they reached the other side of the wall. Asriel told the girls to follow the other cadets but they refused to part with him, so they were also implicated.

" YOU LOT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING??!! YOUR CURRENT BEHAVIOURS ARE HIGH TREASON!! PUT YOUR..." before Kitz could continue, Asriel interrupted him.

" Oh shut up, you coward of a commander, I'm sick of hearing your voice," said Asriel holding his blades in a carefree way. Standing next to him, on his left and right side, are Mikasa and Annie in their battle stance, ready to kill if need be. Armin and Christa were at the back looking after Eren.

" HOW DARE YOU TALK LIKE THAT TO YOUR COMMANDER!!! YOU WILL...." again Asriel interrupted him.

" Commander? Heh.....right. Abandoning your men to their death because you were too afraid, not doing your job and leaving all of us cadets and other soldiers without supplies to fend for ourselves, what a great commander you are." said Asriel with a sarcastic tone. Hearing what Asriel said, all the other soldiers looked at their commander to see what he said was true or not. Feeling the gaze of his soldiers, Kitz started to went into full denial mode.

" LIES!! TRYING TO ACCUSE ME?!! YOUR COMMANDER OF CRIMES THAT I DIDN'T DO!!??? FOR WRONGLY ACCUSING YOUR SUPERIOR WILL BE DEATH SENTENCE!!! MEN! READY YOUR GUNS!!!" screamed Kitz.

" Commander, I don't think it would be wise to kill them. They are the best humanity have against the titans, each one of them is equivalent to 100s of average soldiers. Especially Asriel, he alone could take down 400s of average soldiers. I've seen them take down titans with relative ease. It would be a huge blow to humanity if they are gone. Please reconsider commander." pleaded Ian.

" With how they are acting, even if we want to capture them and interrogate them, it won't be easy." (Rico)

During this time Eren has woken up partially with a creepy smile and said his famous line........except that his mouth was gagged with a rag.

" Mmm mm mmm mm" (Eren)

" Hmm? Oh Eren, you awake?" (Asriel)

" Eren! Can you move?" said Armin taking out the rag, he didn't know why Asriel wanted to gag Eren but was told necessary so he dismissed it.

" Eren, are you alright?" (Christa)

" *GASP* Wha.....what is going on? Armin? Christa?" asked Eren, confused and started thinking why they are acting like that towards him.

" If you guys DARE make a move, I'll show you what would happen if you cross me!" said Asriel and started releasing some of his bloodl.u.s.t, making all the soldiers weak in the knees and some directly fainted. They felt like an imaginary blade was hanging right on their necks, and if they moved they might get beheaded.
