New Mysteries
It has been nearly 2days since Shockwave has come to this world. Currently, he was inspecting the dead remains of a titan.
All this time, he was trying to discover the different abilities of the Titans.
First, he discovered the pain resistance. No matter how many times he cut them up. They seemed to not care. But when a fellow titan hurts them, they start a complete bloodbath. Weird behaviour.
Next, was the hyper regeneration. He first scratched their bodies with the blade on his right hand. It formed a light wound which healed quickly. When they heal, smoke gets formed in the wounded region. Next he completely removed their limbs but even they regenerated with time. He wanted to research about them a lot more but he didn't have his research equipment.
Then was the anatomy of the Titans. They didn't have anykind of organs, just a large pocket where the food gets stored. They don't have an excretory system. When something is ingested(Titans in this case during observation) it is vomited right up after some time. This time can range from anywhere between 80minutes to almost 5hours.
Next was the nape of the Titans. If removed(Conditions apply. Conditions include: deep enough to cut the spinal cord. Fast enough to prevent itself from regenerating the damage done to it.) then it can lead to the death of the Titan. The Titan then decomposes extremely fast, but instead of forming organic material to supply nutrients to the ground, the corpse heats up and the mass gets dissipated into large amounts of heat energy. Any kind of impact, both slashing(by blades), penetrating(by bullets) or exploding(by cannon rounds) if attacked at the nape and is able to sever or destroy the spinal cord can lead to the death of the Titan.
Then was the weight of the Titans. They were unnaturally light. Then where was the mass coming from to regenerate their body? An infinite regeneration ability, but where is the energy coming from? Possible answer: The heat energy from the sun can be used by the Titans. Similar, to the process of photosynthesis used by plants.
.
7 days later. Shockwave was trying to manipulate the Honkai Energy in his body to revolve faster. A few metres away from him two Titans were fighting among themselves over a corpse of a human they found in the forest.
Suddenly, Shockwave found a different source of energy outside his body currently going inside one of the Titan's body to generate an arm which it had lost during the skirmish.
The energy looked like a stream of water in the shape of a tree branch. The moment the Titan regenerated completely the stream of energy disapperead.
In his shock, Shockwave didn't even notice the message from the system indicating his Proficiency in using Honkai Energy infusion had increased.
He hurriedly grabbed the Titan and started cutting it down while still circulating the Honkai energy through his body.
He again saw that same stream of energy entering the Titan.
For sustenance, the Titan uses the energy obtained from the Sun. For regeneration, additional energy gets supplied to the Titan from unknown sources.
'A huge mystery. And I have to find the answers.'

??? POV
We've kept on running for nearly half an hour. I still couldn't belief that Marcel is dead. I looked ahead of me and saw Reiner running ahead of me.
Looks like he was traumatised the most. But. But if he didn't run at that moment, we could have gotten back the jaw titan.
Now we don't even have the jaw titan. Even returning home to Liberio is impossible, the Marleyans will kill us just to give new people the ability of the Titans shifters.
We were currently, running through some plains which was surrounded by a few forests.
All of a sudden, I notice something strange inside the forest on our left. I stop running and Bertholdt followed me by stopping beside me.
"*pant* What... is happened*pant* Annie?" Bertholdt asked me between his breathing.
"Do you see *pant* anything there*pant*?" I also asked between my breaths while pointing towards the forest on our left.
Bertholdt stared at the forests for a few seconds before denying."No, I don't see anythi-"
But Bertholdt was not able to complete his sentence because suddenly red light was visible from the forest, followed by the thuds produced by steps. Then, from the forest came out a metal Titan with a single red eye.
After that, I don't remember much, just that me and Bertholdt were both running from whatever abberant Titan that was till we both crosses Reiner and only stopped running after the forest was not visible anymore.

'Humans...' Shockwave said to himself while looking towards the human children.
He then marked the children in his radar and started following them from behind, because he always wanted to see the inhabitants of this island and how does the humans affect the ecosystem of the island considering the presence of Titans.
He slowly started following them from behind. He saw them rest a few times and also started fighting among themselves.
After following them for nearly 4 hours, all of them stopped. Shockwave thought that they were about to rest again but discarded that idea when he saw all of them standing together while only the female child was giving away her equipment to the other two males, while they were standing a few feet away from the female. Shockwave was watching this nearly a kilometer away from them.
Suddenly, the female bit her hand and lightning started emitting from her body. Immediately, Shockwave started overclocking his mental units. Instantly, everything started slowing down. By overclocking his mind, he can speed up his mind by nearly 4times. So everything felt 4times slower to him.
In this state, Shockwave saw the whole process from when lightning started coming out of the female to when an actual ray of lightning struck the female. Then the female levitated a few metres off of the ground followed by flesh and bones growing out of the body of the female. Shockwave realised that he should have started circulating the Honkai energy before he overclocked his mind to see where that lightning strike was coming from.
The next moment, in the place of the female was a 15 meter tall Titan which looked like female.
'Are all Titans former humans? No. Or else with the amount of Titans I've observed, I would have already found out about it. I saw the female controlling the Titan from right at its nape. Is that the reason why it is weak spot for the Titans? More observation required.'
Shockwave then watched as the female Titan picked up the two males and started running. All of a sudden, the female Titan released a loud shout hearing which hundreds of Titans came out of the forest and started following the Female Titan.
Shockwave started running after the female Titan. Now he seriously wished for the driller, because he didn't need to run before. Beside him he saw a Titan crawling on the ground but was going at high speeds. Shockwave then jumped and landed on top of the Titan's back and stood up. He went the rest of the way travelling on top of the Titan.
After a few hours, the female Titan was starting to slow down but she still desperately started running. But within a few moments she saw a tall wall and started slowing down. Seeing that, Shockwave also got down from the Titan and observed what the female Titan was about to do.
Suddenly, the nape of the Titan inflated and out of it came the female who was originally piloting the Titan. Then the male with the blond hair transformed into a Titan and starting running. Shockwave noticed that unlike the Female Titan from before, the Titan right now was armored.
Shockwave then looked at the wall and his eyes again glowed a little. For the first time in quite some time, Shockwave was feeling excited and adventurous for discovering what secrets this world holds behind the walls.
(AN: Can anyone actually tell me what the real height of Shockwave is? Some websites it says 40ft which looks correct but there is also 35feet which is ok-ish and then there is 26feet which is absolutely wrong. So which one should I do? On another note I noticed something, Titans are a lot taller than Transformers! Anyways thanks for reading~)
