40 Rumble⚡⚡

While Ace and Anna are fighting, back at the camp, everything is fine, the night's calmness is very sleep motivating, everyone is asleep at this time. Most of them are.

At the well, two boys can be seen facing each other, the moon is shining on both of their Black and green hair.

"So, Julius, you wanted me, here I am" Raven, the black haired boy said to the green boy in front of him.

"Fufufu~Don't be so cold, Raven. All I want is the best for you." Julius sat on the edge of the well

"Killing the villagers at the Truman village wasn't in the best interest for me, or us." Raven retorted, he is still angry at what Julius had done.

Julius' smile faded as he looked at Raven with cold eyes making the latter flinch " You had no family, there, none of your group's little birds is hurt. You have nothing to be angry about Raven."

"That may be it, but that was my home, our home." Raven's eyes burned with sorrow, he can still remember the scene from that day, dead bodies were everywhere.

Julius looked at Raven as if he was the most idiot person in the world " Don't make me laugh Raven. That is not our home, this is not even our world."

"Even so-"

"Enough of this." Julius cut off Raven in his words, he had enough of this, each time they face each other they go into the same topic. "This is not what I called you here for." Raven shut up and let Julius talk

"As you know, The first reincarnator is near us, there is a 90% chance that the boy named Ace Braveheart is him, but there is also a 10% chance that he may be with the survey corps." Julius got down from the well and walked to Raven.

"Where ever he is doesn't matter. We don't know him, he doesn't know us. If perhaps he realized our origins, he will kill us. You heard from those idiots who call themselves Gods, he was a former assassin and he obtained powers from a man named Barbarossa ruining this world's balance those forcing them to reincarnate people with power that can at least stop him or weaken him. If we met him w-"

"Your point is?" Raven wasn't good with long speeches so he had to cut off Julius' monologue.

Julius froze in his place for a second before remembering Raven's nature, he smiled and looked at him " The point, we should band together, he is powerful, even to me and Anna. You know the two of us are the only ones with Multiple powers. And Anna won't help me even if it meant her death. You're the only person I can trust here."

Raven looked at Julius with wide eyes, this is the first time he had acknowledged someone else's power "Anna definitely won't help you, not after you've killed her sister. But what I am worried about is..." Raven looked Julius' eyes and said with a low voice " How do I know that you're not using me?"

Julius was stunned for a moment " Me? Use you? How?" he asked with a hurt expression.

"You know, the classic, push your enemy in front of the tiger and let it kill him. Until now, we hadn't done anything to anger the first guy, if we attacked him first, wouldn't that give him a reason to kill us?" Raven's words are true in a sense but to Julius, they were just theories, as he had another understanding.

"You must be joking, right?" Julius started laughing which made Raven angry in a sense.

"Why would those gods give us these powers if we wouldn't need to use them against him. A battle between us is going to take place no matter what. That's why I had to kill Anna's little sister, that girl was too soft and kind, we couldn't count on her if our lives were on the line. Only she had the powers to stop him and now I got them. If we joined together, killing him is very easy. I think!" Julius added the last part in a low voice.

Raven didn't respond immediately, he thought about Julius' words. It is True he doesn't have a reason to hate as he too didn't lose any of his important people. He was just afraid of him. And now that he thinks about the reason to why they have these powers, it seems reasonable to assume that the first guy wouldn't necessarily be a nice guy.

Better be safe than sorry then. " You'll fight with us, when we fight, you need to be on the battlefield too, and you'll deliver the first hit," Raven stated his conditions so Julius won't get to run away and blame them for his plans.

Julis smiled at Raven as he was happy that Raven was in a sense, understanding.

"I see no reason to refuse. But, I must inform you about something, you can take this as a token of our corporation..." Julius looked at the moon and smiled, Raven is waiting for him to continue.

"I'll be leaving the training for the next 2 years and a half, I was called back to the Reiss family's manor. I had used my powers to change memory in the duke's head, right now i'm his Cousin's son. Kenny Ackerman forced him to call to work in the Special Police Squad he will be forming thus I won't be here." He said causing Raven to frown

"Didn't we just agree to work together?"

"Of course, but we will attack when the Female Titan attacks. He is probably waiting for Eren's powers to manifest and the outsiders to know about him and try to catch him. If Ace Braveheart is the first man, then his goal is Annie's attack so he can take her in with him, you saw how he tries to get close to her. But even if the first guy is in the survey squad, it's a 100% he will try to catch Annie in the next 2 years." Julius smiled as he winked at Raevn making him little disgusted " That will be our chance. when they're bust with Annie, we attack him, his guard is down and he doesn't expect us to go after him."

Raven scratched his head and asked, " And how are you going to be there if you're going to leave the training??"

Julius laughed and hit Raven in his shoulder "I'm from the Reiss family now, I have more freedom than anyone here. When the expedition starts, I'll follow you with a uniform of the survey squad, I'll be sure to join your group there. The same way Annie did."

Julius decided to stop here and leave, he passed by Raven and said: " I'll keep in touch with you, I'll make sure to join your group before even the expedition leaves the walls."

"Oh! Before I forget, in the manga, everyone on this island dies. Everyone" Julius stressed on the word 'everyone' so Raven can understand what he means clearly.

After Julius left, only Raven was standing at the well in the middle of the darkness, he was thinking about what Julius said. He looked up and saw that the moon is being covered by dark clouds.

*Rumble⚡⚡* *Rumble⚡⚡* *Rumble⚡⚡*

"A Storm?" he whispered, he wasn't good with the weather but he at least can recognize those clouds as storm clouds "Better get inside." Raven ran inside the dorm to take cover from the approaching storm and have a good night sleep.

What Raven didn't realize is that those thunderous sounds are not from a storm but from a huge cloud that covers the sky over the Canyon.

At the Canyon, the battle was still going.

Anna was looking up to see a black sky with golden thunder coming down hitting random places.

"Though Bastard." She looked at the hole in the Canyon's wall and saw Ace coming out, there is a giant hole in his clothes but his body is as good as new.

She bent down again and touched the water to launch another Ice wave, this time she put more power in it but before she could finish she was struck by thunder.

"GHAA!!!!" She screamed in pain, she felt an unimaginable amount of pain, the golden thunder had something special about it, it burned every part of her body as her shoulder fell off her body.

Anna gritted her teeth and endured the pain, she jumped back and looked at Ace who was grinning from ear to ear.

"God! I never expected Ice and Fire in this world, however, it's not impossible." He jumped to the shallow waters of the river and took off his messed up uniform revealing his naked upper body. His body has an 8 pack, all the muscles that were hidden by his uniform are now out in the open.

Anna's clothes are burned from that last attack from thunder, only her bra and under short still intact. Her body and especially her shoulder is steaming with smock as it heals itself.

She gave Ace a fearful glance.

'That Thunder is dangerous. Just my luck, more things to worry about.' She thought as her body healed up, this continues regeneration was taking a heavy amount of stamina making things hard for her. She can't keep getting her body parts cut off.

"I wonder how much can you keep regenerating your body, I wonder." Ace noticed that this time, it took a while before her limbs were back to action.

"Don't worry, I'm willing to test that myself." Ace bent down and kicked the ground as he made a shockwave in his place, he sprinted at Anna with a monstrous speed that she couldn't even evade leading her to take a direct hit to her jaw from Ace.

She was sent back to the other side of the Canyon in the same fashion as Ace earlier but she had her jaw broken and her body burned.

Ace let a deep breath out and smiled at his work with satisfaction "Damn it feels good to be powerful."
