1 The Hooded Figure

Eren's POV

I was walking through Trost district with my fellow 104th cadets. We were were going to Trost to have a chance to fight titans. Not real titans obviously, but rather dummies. I really wanted to have the chance to get out there and fight the titans. It was my dream to join the survey corps and we were nearly there to graduating.

"Hey Jean aren't from Trost?" asked Connie.

"Yea, why you ask?" askedJean.

"Aren't you going to visit your mom?" replied Connie.

"To hell, I'm not going to do that." replied Jean

(Idk how the dialogue but I know how the story went so just bear with me)

"Why not?" asked Connie surprised by the fact that all of them didn't get to see any of their parents during training.

Instead of answering Jean just walked faster, leaving Connie alone.

"What the hell" sighed Connie.

I chuckled a bit knowing that Jean was always a jerk. And the fact that he wasn't changing was decreasing his chance in actually dating Mikasa which I knew that she didn't like him that way.

As we continued down the road, I saw something move at the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw a hooded figure in an alleyway looking towards us. I couldn't tell what he was wearing because it was being covered by a cloak.

The hooded figure seem to notice me so he turned around and walked deeper into the alleyway.

We were being escorted by a group of Military Police and one of them noticed me looking at something and decided to look at the direction I was looking at.

"Hey stop right there!" he yelled.

Everyone stopped and looked into the alleyway and saw the hooded figure stop. He turned around but not entirely, he just turned his head and looked over his solder.

"Why would someone be spying on us? We don't have anything valuable." said Armin.

"Beats me man." I replied.

"Come out here right now!" yelled one of the MPs.

Instead of coming out, he immediately broke off into a sprint running out of the alley.

"Shit follow him!" yelled one of the MPs.

All the MPs broke off into a sprint chasing after whoever that was.

"All of you trainees change into your ODM gear and chase after him! Whoever captures him will be rewarded and even have a better chance in getting into the interior!" yelled an officer.

Once Jean heard that, he quickly changed into his gear. Once we were one with it, we swung towards the direction the figure ran through. I saw him running through the crowds with ease. He was jumping over crates and even people.

"What the how is he able to do flips? Is that even possible?" asked Reiner.

The hooded figure was running with great speed but not as fast as us. I saw Jean, Connie and Sasha coming straight towards him in the front. Jean hooked both his hooks onto the ground right next to the hooded figure and moved towards him.

But the hooded figure grabbed both of Jean's hooks and pulled him in, making him lose balance. As Jean was about to crash onto him, the hooded man did some kind of spinning kick sending Jean a few feet back.

"What the hell? Who is that guy." I yelled

The hooded figure ran towards Jean who was currently unconscious.

"Shit he's going to kill him!" I yelled.

But instead of killing him. He used his gear to get on top of the wall.

"Huh, he's going on top of the wall? He's an idiot isn't he?" laughed Reiner as we all made their way to the top.

As we landed on top of the wall we saw the hooded man gently put down Jean's body onto the floor. The rest of the MPs were on the other side of him including a few Garrisons.

"You're surrounded and have no where else to go. Surrender now or we will attack." yelled a soldier

The hooded figure looked at both of his sides. He was now at the edge of the wall, if he took another step he could fall backwards.

"You really don't know what's going on do you?" said the hooded figure.

"All of this, do you really think this is how the whole world looks like? You really think that you guys are the only humans living?"

I was so confused, what he said made no sense to me.

"I'm sorry for the harsh lives you are all living." continued the hooded figure.

He then jumped backwards with his arms stretched out.

"What the hell!" yelled a soldier.

But to our surprise something came out of his back allowing him to glide through the air and land safely. We all looked at him as he continued to walk further away from the walls.

"Who was that guy and what did he mean by "only humans living". Not only that what was that thing that came out of his back?" asked Armin.

"Well whoever he is, we're probably not going to see him cause he's in titan territory." said Annie.

Everyone started to get off the wall and go back to their regular business. Jean woke a few minutes after the man jumped.

"What happened?" asked Jean.

"Well... he escaped." I said

Jean groaned as he rubbed his chest, where he was hit.

"But did you see that kick, he was like nothing I've ever seen. It was probably better than Annie's kick." I said.

Annie glared at me and I immediately backed away from her. But she sighed and just went expressionless again.

"I have to admit, that kick was amazing." said Annie.

"Did you guys also see his face?" asked Armin.

We all shook our heads.

"He had some kind of mask on with some kind of painting on it." continued Armin.

"Like.... a ghost."
