(Opening Song 1 : Season 1 Part 1)

It was late evening, everyone was still shocked and horrified after what they all experienced dealing with the Titan for the first time. We were all nothing but rookies that were sent to fight them, pretty messed up if you ask me. I was sitting next to Jean, the rest of our group was close by still relaxing, think what was to be done next. I was still wondering about Eren and the rest. "So what do you think is gonna happen with Eren, Mikasa and Armin?' asked Jean as he finished drinking from a water pouch.

"Don't know. Maybe torture or something like that in order to question them." I said. "They'd be stupid if they would want to kill him." I added. Jean passed me his water pouch. Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie were standing right in front of me. Connie and Sasha were sitting across from us on the opposite side of the street. Ymir and Krista were with them.

"Who would've thought that Eren could turn into a Titan. It's unheard of. Just what the hell is he?" wondered Jean. I shifted my eyes to him and fixed them back. Annie saw me.

". . . he's human." I told him. "With an ability to transform into a Titan but he's human." I added. "Outstanding huh. . . (if only you knew, Jean.) with his help we can turn the tides, humanity can counterattack. No need to be scared of him, what a terrible secret to have. People wouldn't understand you, they'd hate you. The world would hate you. . . " I got up, Annie looked down and walked away, I followed her. I turned around to Jean as I walked backwards. "He catch." I threw the pouch to him. "Thanks for the water."

"He's right though. With Eren's help we can turn the tide. Humanity has a ray of hope for the first time in over one hundred years. It really would be dumb if the Army killed him." said Reiner backing up what I said. Ymir and Krista were talking to Connie and Sasha.

"So what happened out there?" asked Krista. "Did you see what happened to the strange Titan? How did they all look like? How many did it kill?" she kept asking wanting to know. Both Connie and Sasha were quite, Ymir didn't care. The look on her face showed it all.

"They are. . . they looked. . . scary. Like monsters. Giant ugly humanoid creatures that love the taste of human flesh and blood. It's awful and scary especially when they are close to you." said Connie thinking back. "About your other questions. . . I don't know."

"Did they really wipe out almost all those Soldiers that went out? Was it confirmed?" asked Ymir. Connie was too grossed out to say anything. He got up ran around to another side and vomited. "I take that as a yes. That's awful huh." she said calmly. Jean went to go and check on Connie and Sasha.

"Come on Connie. Get it together. Look at Sasha over there. She's still strong and in her Soldier pride." said Jean looking at Sasha. Sasha snapped and burst out.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I MESSED UP! IF IT WASN'T FOR ANNIE AND ATALO WE WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW! I COULDN'T KILL THE TITAN!" Sasha lost it.

"Get a grip Sasha. That's all in the passed now. You messed up so what. Next time it will be different. Don't mess up!" yelled Jean.

"Easy for you to say. I missed my kill too but I don't plan on going back out there." said Connie feeling a bit better.

"Man up Connie. You did great out there." said Reiner.

While everyone was all talking and pulling themselves together, I caught up to Annie. . .

"Annie wait. Stop. . . " I told her. I reached out to grab her arm, she stopped in her tracks. "Annie." she turned around and looked at me. "Don't hate the world just because your father taught you that. I know that for a fact you never understood and agreed to his teaching." I said to her. I was getting flashbacks. "You got to let go." I told her. we looked at each other for a long time.

"Let go of me." Annie demanded me. "Now. Let go!" I held her arm tighter, I saw in her eyes the pain she was going through. This curse we have that can never be removed from us. Not being. . . Normal. "LET ME GO!" she yelled out demanding harder. Her eyes started to get a bit watery. She curled up fist on her other arm, she tightened the fist harder. She swung at me but I didn't bother to stop it. Instead I rather take it. Right before she could've knocked my ass out she stopped, her fist was right in from of my nose. ". . . . . "

". . . Annie." I pulled her towards me, wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. "It's okay. Let it all out if you want." she didn't cry but she felt like it but didn't do it. "I'm here for you." she wrapped herself around me.

"I'm so sorry. . . " said Annie. I kissed her head, I never let go.

Back with the others while I was with Annie comforting her. . .

"Hey by the way whatever happened to Mikasa and Armin?" asked Connie. Jean had a serious face when Connie asked that question. "What? What happened? What did I miss? Don't tell they died." Connie was about to lose it.

"Mikasa. . . Armin. . . they. . . rrrrrrr. . . Eren that son of a bitch, that suicidal jackass is still alive." Jean said. He still couldn't believe it but he saw it with his own two eyes. He was thinking back when he saw Eren come out from the corpse of a Titan and how he took out a bunch on his own. Connie didn't understand.

"What do you mean he's still alive? Armin said it himself that he was eaten by a Titan along with the rest of his squad. They were wiped out." Connie said all confused. Right when Jean was about to explain some random guy just freaked out.

"WE'RE ALL DOOMED! THERE'S NO STOPPING THEM! IT'S OVER! WE'RE FINISHED!" well that Soldier snapped.

"Damnit get it together man!" shout Marco. The Soldier pulled out one of his swords halfway but Marco went up and stopped him.

"I rather have this way be my death rather than those monsters eat me alive in a gruesome way. I Don't Want To Be Eaten!" he shouted. All the attention was at his direction. Marco grabbed him from behind trying to stop him from killing himself. Jean and Reiner went to assist Marco. A medic wagon came by with a load of injured Soldiers, unconscious and a few barely alive.

"I'll tell you later Connie but first help us here with Marco." said Jean as he struggled a bit.

Back to me and Annie. . .

Annie was finally calmed down, she didn't cry unlike Mikasa. She looked up and smiled. "You know Annie. I still owe you after what happened back there in HQ." I said to her, I placed my chin on her head. She smiled.

"Yes you do. Just don't let go of me, okay?" she said.

"Cross my head." I told her with a big smile.

"I hate having to keep our love secret. . . just don't let go of me." she added. I know that feeling keeping all this hidden. I nodded.

"Yeah. . . It's only a matter of time before they realize that Titans aren't their only enemies too." I said. "Now it will get harder and we'll have to be more careful" She pulled me to the shadows and hid within the dark areas. The day was almost over. I were making out, lip biting and pulling. From her mouth I slowly went down to her neck. Annie moaned, we were slowly about to lose ourselves again. Suddenly we heard canon fire followed along with it a loud blast and lightning striking, the flash covered the area.

"What was that? It sounds like it came from that direction close to everyone else." said Annie. We both looked at the same direction.

"Let's go check it out." I said, she nodded. We deployed our wires and went on the rooftops. We ran towards the direction.

Back with the rest. . .

"What the hell was that?" someone yelled out. "Did the Titan's get in already?" but there was no Titans only smoke. Everyone was very worried and about to lose their minds.

"What's going on over there?"wondered Jean. Reiner too was curious about what was going on.

"Let's go!" yelled out Reiner as he took the handle that controlled the ODM Gear. He sped out and Bertholdt followed.

"Hey wait!" called out Jean but they ignored him. "Damnit." He followed them along. Reiner was already far up ahead with Bertholdt and Jean right behind them. They were heading the same direction me and Annie went.

"Looks like we're not the only ones too." said Annie. I looked to where she was looking. Reiner, Bertholdt and Jean stopped on top of a roof looking hard at something. Me and Annie arrived too but a few meters away from them on a rooftop.

"What is going on here? That Titan is half formed." Jean said with an astonished look. "There's too much smoke and Titan steam. Is that Eren in there?" We all just kept watching and waiting.

"Look at that Commander. He seems to be losing his mind. The Soldier look like they're about to piss themselves." I said. "Hmm?" Armin walked out with his hands up in the air and lost his Gear. "Armin? He's here too huh then Mikasa is in there along with Eren." The entire Garrison Regiment are still waiting for what was to happen next. They were all scared shitless and Commander Kitz was even more afraid then all of the others combined.

"IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE YOUR TRUE FORM?! MONSTER! I DON'T BUY IT FOR ONE SECOND!" yelled out the Commander.

"You have to listen to me Eren is not an enemy!" yelled Armin. He kept his hands and arms up to show no violence.

"YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN HE SHOWED HIS TRUE FORM?! HE CAN NOT LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE! IF YOU INSIST THAT HE IS NOT THE ENEMY THEN SHOW US PROOF!" demanded Kitz. "OTHERWISE WE'LL BLAST HIM BACK TO WHATEVER NIGHTMARE HE CRAWLED OUT OF!"

"You don't need proof!" yelled Armin. He seemed to remember something and said something too under his breath. He told them all that a bunch of us saw him fight the Titan and cleared HQ from being surrounded. He was right. We all did and a strong fact too. They see him as prey like human. Everyone actually calmed down.

"The kid has a point." said a Soldier. They all lowered there weapons.

"Looks like Armin has a big brain. Very smart and quick too. . . . . that can be dangerous to us." I said then turned to Annie. She nodded without hesitation.

"Agreed. I think I know what we should do in future times." said Annie. I turned back to see what would happen next. The Commander was losing it.

"Rrrrrr. . . . . PREPARE TO ATTACK! THAT'S NOTHING BUT UNCUNNING WORDS AND LIES! A TITAN'S BEHAVIOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MYSTERY AND UNKNOWN TO US. THEY ARE BEYOND OUR COMPREHENSION! LOOK AT IT! IT WALKS AMONG US! IT SPEAKS OUR LANGUAGE! IT'S TRYING TO DECEIVE US!" Commander Kitz shouted out in fear.

"Looks like Armin's words are not going into that guy's thick skull." said Reiner with a serious look. I could hear him from a distance. He was right though but you can see the fear running through the Commander. I saw Eren and Mikasa shocked that Armin didn't get through to him but they were still confident that he can still do it, Armin stood motionless looking at his friends but turned his attention to the Commander. "Hmm?"

"What?" I wondered. Armin saluted and stood at attention to everyone with a serious look on him of determination. ". . . " Armin stated to give out a huge speech of defending Eren. That Armin is a Soldier and Eren using his ability of transformation could turn everything around. Pretty much he went the whole nine yards on his speech. "Well that was surprising and long. Coconut head actually grew a set."

"No doubt. He has always been the weak and cowardly guy. He's only good with his brain. He still proves nothing." said Annie.

"Yeah. He mustered up guts for that but he's practically pissing himself too. . . " I said. I knelt down and glared at him and the other two. I noticed Reiner did too. "(What are you thinking of, Reiner.)" Annie placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Let's go. We've seen enough of this shit." Annie told me as she gently shock me. I nodded. I got up and we were about to leave until we heard another person step in stopping Kitz talking to him. We both turned around to see. It was Commander Pixis of the Stationary Guards.

"Can't you see this young fellow her is pouring his heart out and put his life on the line and Soldier pride too. You should really try to consider that, Commander. If this young man has a plan then we should hear him out and his ideas and strategies. Gather up all the troops that can walk and fight. Plus get reinforcements. We'll take reconsideration of his idea." Pixis told Kitz. Seems like Pixis has something in mind.

". . . . . Let's go back." Reiner said. Bertholdt and Jean nodded. "Looks like everything is going to be okay with them. . . Bertholdt, let's go." Reiner saw me and Annie. "Jean go with those two over there. Me and Bertholdt have have something to do." Reiner said. Jean wonder.

"Like what?" Jean asked but both of them left without a word. "Hey wait!" he called out but they ignored him. "Those two are strange." I noticed them both take off and Jean came towards us. Me and Annie left, Jean was right behind us. "Hey. You two. Did you see everything?" he asked. I was quiet. Annie noticed.

". . . " I stayed silent and kept wondering what's our next move.

"Hey Atalo. Did you here me?" he asked but I paid no attention.

"Yes we saw you." Annie replied coldly. "He's fine. Leave him be."

"(What are you thinking of doing Reiner? What's your plan now? What's your next move?)" I kept asking and wondering to myself. ". . . let's regroup back with Connie and the others. . . we're about to go out again. . . " I said. Jean had a strange look on him nervous but knew it was gonna happen.

"A counterattack. They're actually going to try to take back Trost." Jean said.

"It appears so." Annie said calmly. We got back with the others.

"What happened? What was that light and the Cannon fire about?" asked Christ. Ymir looked like she already knew what was happening.

"Get ready. We're about to get mobilized and prepare to do a counterattack." Jean said with a serious look. "Everything else you will all be filled in later."

"You can't be serious?! They're actually going to send us back there again?!" yelled out Connie.

"That's right." I told Connie as I drank some water. About twenty minutes later every Garrison was assembled, many of them still had the same look on them of fright. I looked up at the Wall and saw Eren, Mikasa and Armin with Commander Pixis. Looks like Armin was planning something with them. I heard Commander Kitz mumbling about something. I turned my head to him, he was still steaming and doesn't agree with whatever Pixis had in mind.

"We're all going to die! There's no way I'm going back out there! I just know we're gonna have to go back! We can't kill them all! We'll be slaughtered!" yelled out a Soldier. I was getting frustrated with that guy. Annie noticed. It was the same one Marco was trying to calm down. They'll be slaughtered. . . I won't and a few others too. . .

". . . For God's sake someone shut that son of a bitch up." I said calmly. Marco heard me and went to the guy.

"Damnit get a hold of yourself already! Do we have to go through this again?" shouted Marco.

"Let go of me! I rather kill myself now then get eaten by Titans!" he yelled out. Marco struggled to calm him down. Another Commander came to help him out.

"I can tell the rest of the day is gonna be a long day. It's late evening and the sun is setting quite fast." I said to myself and shook my head. A Staff Officer came down from the Wall and looking for someone.

"Commander Pixis requests the Soldier Atalo to come with me immediately!" called out the Officer. I looked at him and walked towards him.

"Uh that's me sir. Why would Commander Pixis want me?" I asked him.

"Apparently Armin wants you to be there with them and would gladly like your help." he said. "Now let's go." he ordered me. He left and I gave out a big sigh.

"Why me? I wonder how things would be if I wasn't here or if Berik Marcel was here instead of me." I asked myself. Originally I was never to go on this Mission. It was suppose to be Annie, Reiner, Bertholt and Marcel. Marcel was another Shifter like us but unfortunately he was eaten by a Titan in order to save Reiner, Bertholdt and Diana. He sacrificed his life to save them. When he died it was just the three of them but I volunteered to join them. There was a tough decision to make but in the end I ended up coming in. I wonder how it would've been if I didn't go and it was just the three of them or Marcel with them. I started to walk off. Annie reached out and grabbed my hand and turned me around.

"Be careful." she told me. Leaned forward and kissed her smooth lips.

"You too. I'll see you real soon." I told her and I left. Me and the Officer got on top of the Wall and met up with Eren and everyone else.

"He's here sir!" said the Staff Officer. Pixis turned his attention towards me and ordered him to leave. I stayed of course.

"Hey what's up Eren, Mikasa, Armin. So what is it that you guys need help?" I asked. "I'm in on whatever it is."

"Awesome!" Eren said. "It's good to see you again, Atalo." he told me.

"Same here." I replied back. "By the way I saved your precious Mikasa here back in Trost. You're welome. It almost costed me my life but I'll tell you about it later." I told him. Mikasa was getting a little red but kept looking at me.

"Glad you're here." said Armin with a smile. "Let's fill you in on the plan." he said. I nodded.

"Right let's get down to business." said Comander Pixis.

Meanwhile back with Johnathon and Marcos far away. . .

They both kept moving and had no luck on being at a safe stop. Every once in a while a Titan was around that appeared out of nowhere from the Woods of far from the open ground. "(Hey is that?)" Marcos wondered. He got Johnathon's attention and pointed to a Cabin not too far away. They were both still in their Titan forms of course.

"Let's go. We rest. . . there for. . . tonight." Johnathon's Titan said. Marcos's Titan nodded. By the time they reached the abandoned Cabin it was safe to come of of there forms. "Perfect. It's very perfect. We just stay as quiet as possible until nightfall. Titans aren't active at night unless we make them." Johnathon said.

"Right." agreed Marcos. They both walked in. The place wasn't so bad. It was kind of nice for an abandoned Cabin. "It seems cozy. We can't really start a small fire till later."

"Yeah. So tell me. What happened when I left and you coming here although I think I already know." Johnathon said. Marcos was quiet but he finally said it.

"When you left I got mad that only you could go. So I decided to leave on my own and follow you." said Marcos. "And I feel great about it with no regrets too."

"Hehehe I figured. I understand. Friends to the end and stick to each other. So what about Diana?" he asked wondering.

"She'll follow us soon. I don't know how long but sooner then you think. She said she was gonna leave tomorrow night instead. She's gotta plan and think some stuff before she does." Marcos said. "Hmm?" they heard Titan footsteps close by, they took a peak but it didn't notice them and kept walking away.

"At least it will get dark soon. We'll be able to sleep comfy when it does." Johnathon said adjusting his glasses.

"Why do you REALLY wear those man. Are your eyes seeing blurry? You shouldn't since we are not any ordinary humans." said Marcos.

"I see fine but I wear them for the hell of it. Fashion more like it. Plus it will keep up my appearance when we get there." Johnathon said with a smile. "I wonder how our friends are doing."

"I want to get there fast too. Let's pick up the pace tomorrow. I have an idea but tomorrow instead." Marcos said as he was thinking.

"Right." Johnathon nodded. The entire time they stayed quiet and kept a look out until it got dark. Little did they know that Diana was in big trouble and now even their own lives could be in danger too.

Meanwhile back with Diana. . .

"(Where am I? Where have they taken me? What are they gonna do to me?)" Diana wondered to herself. She was in a dark underground hideout in a almost complete dark room. The sack over her head was removed and the blindfold as well. "Mmmm?!" she saw two other people a few feet away from her crying and struggling. They removed the sack from their heads and blindfold too. "(Mom? Sister?)" Diana struggled to get the rag out of her mouth that was wrapped around her. They took it off. "What the fuck are you doing?! Why the hell did you kidnap my mom and sister?! What do you want from us?! Why kidnap me?!" she shouted out.

"I want YOU Diana. Not them. If you want to save their lives you must do what I say." it was our leader hiding in the dark.

"?!" she was stunned. ". . . you want a pawn. But you can forget that. I heard what you want and I won't do it." Diana said with lots of hate. One of the henchmen held a dull rusty blade to Diana. "Do it but I won't do your dirty work." she spat to our leader's direction.

"You stupid girl." he turned his attention to her mother and sister. He took out a bag with supply read for Diana and a knife and pistol already loaded with more rounds. "You're going to those Walls and find that Coordinate. Once found you will obliterate all of man-kind. Finally you will kill your friend. . . ALL of them."

"Fuck you." she said. The knife was held close to her throat and pressed. Since it was dull and a rusty blade she wouldn't be able to transform like usual. "Ngh."

"Wait. . . not her. Them." he pointed to them. The henchmen walked to them, grabbed her sister's hair, yanked and pressed against her throat. He was going to do it.

"WAIT! STOP!" Diana blurted out. Our leader gave a smirk smile.

"That's a good girl." he said. Diana started crying slowly.

"I'll do it. I'll do whatever you want. Just don't harm them, okay." she bent her head down. Her sister managed to get the gag off her mouth.

"Don't do it Diana!" she blurted out. Her mom got it off too.

"Don't do his bidding Diana. Forget us. Don't do it." her mom said. Both of their hair was yanked back harshly.

"B-but. . . I. . . " Diana didn't know what to do or say. Images of Marcel ran through her mind. "(Marcel. . . what should I do?)"

"Untie her. She leaves right away. You'll eventually should catch up to Marcos and Johnathon if you travel over night. Yes I know Marcos left. Know this. If you fail. . . well they die. I'll make you watch as they suffer." Diana was untied, pulled to her feet and the bag was thrown to her. "Now go and full-fill your Mission. Say goodbye to your mother and sister and leave."

"I'll see you both soon. I promise I'll find a way and save you. (I hope I can think of a way to save them both without killing my friends.) Goodbye." Diana said as she ran out the room and went to the surface and left the village.

". . . . ." our leader was quiet.

"Sir. You know you sent her to her death. I don't think she can take on the Armored Trio. She'll be doomed if she tries." one of them said.

"Hehehe exactly. I want her gone too. Without her as well we can officially come closer to our goal." he said with a smile.

"What about them?" they asked.

". . . . . kill them. Leave no evidence of them. No trace. Nothing. As if they never existed." they were shocked. They didn't feel comfortable with his idea. They grabbed their hair and yanked them back harsh.

"No please! Mmmmm!" Diana's sister pleaded.

"No! No! Please No! Mmmmm!" her mother pleaded as well. They covered their mouths and began sawing their throats with a dull rusty knife and extremely sharpe. Blood gushed and oozed out as their wails were drowned in their own blood. They cut deeper and deeper. Sawing non-stop until their heads came off them. Diana's only family. . . were dead. They held their heads by the head and played with it. Opened their lifeless mouth and skull fucked them too. They were sick animals and they actually ended up having no regrets. Once they all finished they chopped up their bodies into pieces. Mutilated very awful that it was hard to recognize. They dug a large somewhat deep hole in the room and threw the parts in. They set the parts on fire and lastly threw their heads into it. They watched as they turned to ashes and bones were crisp. Whatever was left of bones were pounded to dust, scattered in the hole, swiped around and filled the hole back with dirty. Once they finished they burned Diana's home to the ground. What a horrible tragedy.

"Sir. . . it's all complete." a henchmen said.

"Perfect." he grind. ". . . that's all. Eventually we'll take care of Marcos's and Johnathon's too but in due time. I must plan that out and what else too in the future." Diana was gone from the village and didn't know what happened. She was worried but she kept moving, thinking what she was going to do.

". . . . . I'll think of something. . . . . I hope. . . . . " Diana said worried. Things didn't seem bright for us in the future. . .
