chapter 6

<3 years later - BootCamp>

All the new recruits are all lined up in multiple rows getting yelled at by the Instructor, Keith Shadis. The guy who used to be friends with Eren's father, Grisha Yeager. As he's asking names from each person he finally spots Sasha Braus, eating a baked potato. Keith looks over and is dumbfounded while asking here why she's eating it here of all places.

"Are you.... do you not know why people eat potatos sir?" Sasha asked completely confused. She then rips it in two and gives him the tiny piece she claimed as "half".

Keith is genuinely surprised for a second before remembering why he's in front of her.

"START RUNNING!! DONT STOP UNTIL THE SUN SETS!! IF YOU STOP BEFORE THEN YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MEAL PRIVILEGES MAGGIT!!"

<The next morning>

<POV REX>

'I wonder how hard these aptitude tests are, like the balance test for the ODM gear.' One by one every trainee goes up and tries and most have a little difficulty but managed, unlike Eren who instantly face-plants and everyone but Armin and Mikasa laugh. Heck even I almost couldn't stop myself from laughing his absolutely stupefied expression almost got me.

Next is my turn and being completely honest I'm nervous to make a fool of myself like Eren. As I'm slowly lifted off the ground I bump my elbow on the cable almost making me lose balance but after a few seconds get myself under control and balance not nearly as good as Mikasa but probably top ten worthy.

<2 years later>

Today we're finally doing titan training. It's pretty simple you use the ODM to move through the forest like Tarzan while the do you best to get a kill shot on every fake titan with razor like swords. I can honestly say there is nothing more exciting than to feel the wind on your face when you're swinging at probably close to twenty to thirty mile per hour. Well, as long as you don't count the two giant mechs in my inventory that is.

After that we "trained" hand to hand combat but Eren was the only one actually trying to take down his opponents, not realizing that he is the only one trying. That is until both him and Reiner gets completely dominated by Annie. And just like this more time passes, out of all of the recruits only two hundred, eighteen graduated and we're all in front of a stage once again lined up in rows. Though this time there are ten people separated and lined up in front of them, which surprisingly enough I'm apart of. I seem to have replaced Marco's spot of being the seventh best. During the choosing process I chose the scouts, and after we all are done choosing which squads we want to join we all head to the mess hall for dinner. And like cannon Eren has is half-assed speech, after he runs outside i look around and noticed a surprising amount of people doubting who their going to join. I then hear the bell announcing to go to bed.

<The next day>

As we're on the wall directly about Trost districts gate and talking about people switching who their going to join, Sasha come over slightly hunched covering something. "Hey guys can you keep a secret? I totally just helped myself to the pantry." She says as she pulls out a football size piece of meat. As everyone is asking for pieces of it, I walk over to the edge and look down off the wall and can see a cloaked person, obviously Bertholdt who is below the wall about to turn into the Colossal titan. I turn around and slowly start to walk away from the edge while saying: "Yo guys I want some of the meat too don't just forget about me."

After everyone starts to get back to what their supposed to be doing and while Eren is doing his inner monolog there's suddenly a massive lightning bolt and rumble next to the wall. The next thing anyone seen was a giant head peering over the wall just like what happened at wall Maria. As a massive steam blast knocks everyone off the wall the Colossal titan also kicks a hole through the gate. Everyone but one managed to grapple to the wall except the one guy who got knocked out only a few seconds later ends up with Sasha's grapple through his calf muscles keeping him front splating on the ground.

Eren of course sees this as a chance to finally kill it and rushes up the wall screaming: "THIS IS OUR CHANCE, WE CAN FINALLY KILL THIS BASTARD!!"

Which of course fail miserably. As soon as he got around to its back and had a grapple in its head ready to swing in and go for the kill shot he gets blasted again by steam and the titan just disappeared into thin air. Well it was really just the fact of what just happened that stunned everyone long enough they didn't notice Bertholdt stealthily leaving the scene. We then start the cannon bombardment to stop/slow the incoming titans to at the very least give the citizens time to evac to city.

'I could bring back out the Tyrantor to help out but the first wave of normal titans is kinda small. But there will also be a full assault in a few hours. Hmm? Screw it let's go.'

I then make my way down the wall off to the side when everyone was focused on the Titans. I find a secluded area around the wall out of view and call out Tyrantor but this time with the heavy mace instead of the war hammer. I wait for about an hour or so the city is overrun then head over to the gate. 'I'm not going to completely stop Eren's time for growth so I'll let some through as I kill the rest.'

As I make it to the outside of the gate I notice about ten titans shoving their way through the gate. I then for the first time since stealing the Tyrantor, charge up the magic weapon on the back, aim it at the gate and fire.

*BOOOM*

The attack take out about half of them, I look over at my mana tank realizing that one shot took about 20% of my reserves. 'Shit ,that's ridiculous! At least the engine converts the ether into mana for power constantly, otherwise this would end shortly. At least in this world i should restrain from using that too much since the recharge seems to be a lot slower'

(author note: correct me if I'm wrong but ether or however its spelled is basically air itself, right? Then converted to mana by the engine of the silhouette knight for power)

I bash my way through the gate to start the titan hunt. As I completely get through the hole I see a blast of lightning indicating Eren's transmission. I make my way in that direction as an irregular titan jumps over a building directly at me, though with the sensors I immediately notice it and swing the mace connecting with the base of its neck ripping clean through its neck and nape, thus killing and launching its head a few blocks away knocking over another Titan.

*Boom* *thud*

I continue my path as I hear a beastly scream off in the distance and shortly after seen a small group of people a bit closer staring down in between some buildings. I walk around the corner to see a group of five small three and four meter titans eating some corpses. I step back out of veiw of the people on the roof to switch back to the war hammer, then step back around and take a running stance with the hammer on my back, and after a second I charge full speed. As I get closer the people noticed me and as I'm about twelve meters tall and twice as big as the ones in front of them, they start running, but only after they leave Annie, Reiner, and Bertholdt look at me and question who I as I'm definitely not an actual titan.

I didn't answer their question and just stated "Leave" without slowing down leap into the air as I bring down my hammer in the middle of the titans crushing three of the five titan's heads and from the shockwave completely destroyed the four surrounding buildings.

*BOOOM*

The attack also crippled one of the two surviving titan, while the other rushes me to which I respond with a backhand that purges evil, blowing its head off.... I missed the nape damn, I bring down the hammer finally killing it.

I walk over and stomp through the neck of the second titan before It can fully regenerate thus finishing my domination. Afterwards I look over to see the same three a bit further away and staring at me with wide eyes and mouths open.

"I thought I said to leave" I say into my microphone while from the speakers a deeper sounding voice booms over them.

Their shocked a third time as the fact I can talk just registered to them. I don't wait for a response and continue my path to the military headquarters to finish the Titans with Eren.
