New Member and Experiment

Eren's POV

I was up and ready with the rest of my friends. Right now we are waiting for Ghost team with the scout regiment team.

I was with Annie most of the time since we are now a thing.

A couple minutes later Captain Ghost arrived with a woman in a military combat shirt and a hat. She also had a bandanna over her face, but even with that I saw a scar on her left eye just like Ghost, Marksman and Recon.

"Fall in." ordered Ghost.

We immediately stood up and got in formation.

"This is Sergeant Major Phantom, I want you to show her your upmost respect." said Ghost.

"Yes sir." we all replied.

"Right now, I'm going to divide you up into your squads and they will be permanent." said Ghost as he opened up a folder.

"1st squad will be Erwin, Levi, Mike, Nanaba, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Annie, Historia and Ymir." said Ghost.

"2nd squad, Hange, Moblit, Reiner, Bertholdt, Jean, Marco, Marlowe, Hitch, Connie and Sasha."

We all grouped up into our squads and stood back in formation.

"I know that there is a lot of people for one squad, but it's the only way to keep you all alive." said Ghost. "You're team name will be Scout team 104."

Ghost put away the folder and looked at Phantom.

"Get to know them, we'll be teaming up with them a lot." said Ghost.

Phantom raised one eyebrow, looking at him with with a confused look.

"Yea I'm serious." said Ghost walking off.

Phantom sighed and turned to us.

"Good morning, as Ghost mentioned, I'm Sergeant Major Phantom. Ghost told me about you guys so just tell me your names."

After we introduced ourselves Phantom led us to the an open field, there Captain Ghost, his team, Governor Johnson and a few scientists were waiting for them.

"OOOOOO ARE WE DOING EXPERIMENTS! I LOVE EXPERIMENTS, LET ME BE PART OF IT TOO!" drooled Hange.

Ghost allowed her to work with the scientists who seemed really uncomfortable having her around.

"Eren, Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, and Ymir, I want all of you to shift over there." said Ghost.

"But sir, if I shift it's going to create a huge explosion, is it okay if I do it a bit further." said Bertholdt.

"Permission granted." said Ghost.

We all went to our respected areas and got ready to shift when the scientists give us the go. A few minutes later, they gave us the go and I bit down on my hand but I didn't shift. I tried it again but I still couldn't shift.

Annie was watching me from the distance and approached me.

"Struggling?" she asked.

"Yea, I can't seem to transform." I said.

"You got the bleeding part right, you're supposed to bleed in order to shift but you're missing out on something." said Annie backing off a bit. "Remember to have a goal in mind when you bite down to shift or whenever you're bleeding."

There was three explosions and out came the Jaw, Armored and Colossal titan.

Seeing the Armored and Colossal titan made me remember of the time when wall Maria was breached. My mother's death replayed in my head over and over again as my blood started to boil. My mind started to want to kill him making me shift.

Annie's POV

Eren's face started to show anger and I knew exactly why. But before I could calm him down he shifted throwing me off the ground sending me a few feet back.

Eren's titan roared into the sky and charged at Reiner's titan, ramming him to the ground.

I looked up and saw everyone watching either retreating or running towards me with their weapons aimed ready to fire.

"No don't!" I cried.

Ghost ran up to me with a confused and frustrated look.

"What the hell is going on?" said Ghost.

"He wants to kill Reiner and Bertholdt for what they did in the past." I replied.

"Shit. We need to take him down." said Ghost.

"No, I'll stop him sir." I said.

"Fine do whatever it takes to stop him, besides killing him." said Ghost.

I ran off towards the fray where Eren's titan was punching Reiner multiple times. Good thing Reiner had armor otherwise he would have been dead. Ymir tried stopping Eren, but Eren grabbed her and threw her away.

I used my ring and cut myself, triggering my transformation. I felt the warm flesh wrap around me as I began to grow and now see through the eyes of my titan.

I ran up to Eren and pushed him off of Reiner. Eren immediately got up and roared at me, I got into my fighting stance with Reiner and Ymir next to me.

Eren was about to charge us when two missiles came and destroyed Eren's leg. He fell down but that didn't stop him. He used his arms to boost him up and he tried to punch me. I dodged him and grabbed his nape and ripped Eren out of his titan form.

I gently put him down and exited my nape with the other shifters.

I ran to Eren to check if he was fine. He slowly began to gain conscious when the others came up to us.

"What happened?" asked Ghost.

Eren stared at the sky for a few moments before responding with

"What did I do?"

Ghost gave me a puzzled look.

"For a shifter it's hard to control their titan form when they first transform." said Reiner.

"But why did he lash out at you?" asked Marksman.

"Because of what we did." said Bertholdt.

"He probably remembered what we did to his home back then when he saw us." said Reiner.

Eren had a surprised face on his look.

"I didn't mean it." said Eren,

"Seriously you could have killed us all." said Bomber.

"It's not Eren's fault, this isn't his first time." said Mikasa. "He lashed out at me during the mission to retake Trost."

"What! You didn't tell me that!" cried Eren.

Ghost turned around and told his team and most of the 104 to rally back at base. Only Ghost, Phantom and Marksman remained with us.

"Right now we need to set up some ground rules." said Ghost.

"I'm sorry sir, I really didn't mean it." said Eren.

"I know and I understand that, but if this happens in a battle, not only will you do damage to the enemy, but you'll damage us too." said Ghost.

"So what are you suggesting?" asked Reiner.

"You'll be trained separately with these shifters. By the time you master your powers, then you'll be able to shift." said Ghost.

"What if the situation demands me to shift?" asked Eren.

"Do what you think is best, but always keep in mind, if anyone from our side dies, you're held responsible." said Ghost.

"What are the consequences?" asked Bertholdt.

"I'm going to personally execute you." said Ghost.

I got mad at what he said at the same time understand his concept. Yet it still made me angry at the fact that he'll kill his comrade.

"What about us?" asked Ymir.

"You have permission to shift." said Ghost.

"Anytime?" I asked.

"That, I'm not sure yet. We'll see about that." said Ghost.

They turned to leave but Phantom turned around and looked at us.

"Are you always that persistent or is just a power you have?" asked Phantom.

"Huh?" asked Eren.

"He's persistent, even in human form." I quickly added.

She nodded and left with the others leaving just the shifters.

"I'm sorry." said Eren.

"Don't worry about it, after all, we did deserve that beating for what we did in the past." said Reiner while patting Eren's shoulder.

"You guys are now on our side right? Doesn't that matter the most, you guys can redeem yourself during this war." said Eren.

We all nodded in response, except for Ymir of course.

"You have a lot to learn though." I said.

Eren nodded his head and we began to head back to base where everyone was waiting for us.
