Inventions

Ghost's POV

I left the district and looked for Emily until I saw her sitting on a bench all by herself while the others were working. I approached her and when she saw me she looked away.

"Did you really think you didn't matter to anyone?" she asked

"We need to talk somewhere else." I said

Without asking she got up and we left to a place where there was no one.

"Answer my question." said Emily

"Yes I did." I replied

She started tearing up, shaking her head.

"Then everything about our relationship was a lie?" she asked

"Before I answer that answer my question." I said

"What question?" she asked

"If I never changed would you still have loved me?" I asked

"Of course I would what kind of retarted question is that?!" yelled Emily

"Then why did you reject me before and then confessed after I changed?" I asked

"Why, I can't develop feelings for someone who changed?!" she continued to yell

"Then explain to me why you changed after I changed." I said

"Huh?"

"After you noticed that I changed you became a lot effectitionet to me like a different person." I replied

That seemed to catch her off guard and she nervously looked around.

"I just wanted to change." she whispered

"Then answer this question." I continued, "Did you love me because I changed into your type?"

Her eyes widened like I caught her red handed.

"I knew it." I said

"No Ajax you don't understand for fucks sake you don't fucking understand!" she began to raise her voice

"No stop lying to yourself." I snapped

"No you don't understand the whole story! Okay I loved you since we met but I doubted myself because I didn't think I would fall in love with someone like you before. But when you changed I didn't develop more feelings. My feelings were already there. I just felt sorry and wanted to help you!" she yelled

I stood there silent while watching Emily cry.

"You've only proven my point." I said

Emily looked up at me, her ready eyes widened in surprise.

"Maybe I shouldn't have given you that chance." I said

"No Ajax please don't leave me, I'm sorry I swear I loved you." she pleaded

"I never said I was going to leave you." I replied

She looks at me surprised.

"And I never said I regretted giving you a chance even though I just said I shouldn't have given you it." I said, "You were able to prove yourself that you really loved me."

I hugged her and she started crying into my chest.

"Sorry for getting you worried." I said

Eren's POV

"Every security detail has changed thanks to Armin." said Erwin

"Sir Hange and Hacker." whispered Levi

"Ah yes, Hange you have something you created?" asked Erwin

"Yes sir." said Hange

She brings a folded cloak and puts it on the hologram table.

"What's this, you've been busy stitching up clothes, four eyes?" sarcastically asked Levi

"This isn't just any kind of cloak, it's an invisibility cloak." said Hange

"Woah...." I awed

The others around the table started chattering and Hange grabbed the cloak and put it over herself and she disappeared. Sasha screamed and nearly choked on her potato.

"See this is the new invention I made." said Hange

"Nice." awed Connie

"But the problem with this is that if you move around you can see it." said Hange

She began to walk around and I noticed her figure moving around.

"Good work Hange, Hacker what do you have?" asked Erwin

He takes off the eye gear he always wears and puts it on the table.

"This was invented by Lance Corporal Tech from Ghost team 116. I wore it but I think it's time for everyone to wear this." said Hacker

"What does this do?" asked Mike

He puts it back on himself and turns it on. Words began to come out and then turned it off.

"You can see things that you can't see such as snipers in ghillie suits. You can see through cameras on drones, mission objectives, weak points of a weapon like a tank." said Hacker

"Not bad." said Erwin

"There's more." said Hacker

He pulls out a bullet and sets in on the table.

"We weren't able to properly formulate explosive bullets but here it is." said Hacker

He unloads his gun and puts the bullet inside. He aims his gun at a wall and shoots it. Once the bullet makes impact it explodes, enough firepower to kill a titan.

"Of course this bullet won't fit in our mags so I had to create a new weapon." said Hacker

He puts down a modified ACR with a grenade launcher on it. An ACR doesn't have that much of a recognition because it wasn't a good gun, looked plain and simple but something about felt better.

"This is the ACR-34. I changed everything about this gun to make it better, from the muzzle to the trigger. The average range now is 700 meters and the speed of the bullet is now 3,120 feet per second." said Hacker, "Of course I had to modify other guns for the soldiers but this is just the basic common one."

He then pulls out what looks like a rectangular bag with 4 holes on the top.

"This is a missile launcher. You attach this to your shoulder and it'll stay put. You use the eye scanner to mark your target and it'll lock on and you fire." said Hacker

"Damn we're getting the goodies." said Connie

"Is that all you've got for now?" asked Erwin

"Yes it is, we have a few more that's in progress." said Hacker

"A few more, what other things can you create?" asked Armin

"Hey Hacker." called out Javelin

She hands him some kind of watch and he seemed excited.

"This is the holographic watch. You can access maps, terrains and other things such as intel when you're hacking and other shit that I need to try." said Hacker

"Are these in productions?" asked Nanaba

Hacker nods in response.

"What are the things that are also in production?" asked Hange

"That's uhhh classified." said Hacker

Erwin and Levi looked at Hacker with their eyebrow raised.

"Not really classified but a little surprise." said Hacker

He left the group while dancing a bit with his head which we've never seen him do before.

"Technology really gives him energy." said Moblit while confused

"Anyways let's see here." said Erwin

He turned on the hologram table and a whole map of Eldia popped out.

"A lot of casualties, we lost over 50 ships while taking over 20 enemy ships. Over 500 casualties for all three countries." said Erwin

"The TMOs have highly advanced technology plus their gear is different." said Hange

She showed us their gear and of course they looked like doctors. All of them had full on gas masks on, some were white some black. The soldiers either had a spetsnaz helmet or a highly advanced police riot helmet. Their gear was a bit different too, too complex. It looks like they're wearing some thin tights that seem to be covered by some metal.

"What are those tights they're wearing?" I asked

"I'm surprised you noticed that." said Hange

She nods to Moblit and he brings a dead TMO wearing his gear.

"This metallic tights around his body is his inner layer. Seems like they could stop a bullet, anything from a 9 mm bullet to a .45 acp." said Hange, "And with this metal vest and gear around their bodies give them extra protection stopping bullets such as a 7.62."

"But with Hacker's new explosive bullet, can it penetrate?" asked Jean

"Yes it can. Oh and this bullet will be called .10 bolt." said Hange

Then I heard everyone screaming and some soldiers cocking their guns and aiming at something.

"What's going on?!" yelled Erwin

"Everyone hold you fire!" yelled Hacker

Hacker was protecting something behind him.

"It's a drone I made!" said Hacker

"Everyone lower your weapon!" shouted Erwin

Everyone slowly lowered their weapon and examined the drone. Hacker moved out of the way and a cool looking robot with 4 legs with wheels on it and a sphere as a head with multiple gadgets such as missile launchers, machine gun and a laser that detects movement.

"This is the XV-860." said Hacker

"That looks so cool." said Connie

"What does that do?" I asked

"Detects enemy movement and fires at them." said Hacker as if it was obvious, "I can control it through my eye scanner and watch."

The drone started moving while Hacker controlled it.

"Apparently Lance Corporal Lance didn't use it cause it was way too devastating and parts of it needed work." said Hacker

I saw Phantom at the corner of my eye and when she saw the drone she raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Why do you have that out?" asked Phantom

"Sorry ma'am but Colonel's orders." said Hacker

"Everyone get back to work." said another voice which belonged to Recon

Hacker shut off the drone and got back to work.

"We got something." said Recon

She approached the hologram table and plugged a USB in and a map came up with a fleet.

"The TMO fleet." said Armin

"You have their location?" asked Erwin

"Thanks to some of your Eldian Marines, they put a tracking device on one ship." said Recon

"How come I wasn't informed?" asked Erwin

"The person who put the tracking on the ship is injured and Kit's busy fixing him." replied Recon, "But I want everyone to get ready, we're going after them."

"That'll be reckless." said Levi

"We need to destroy just like how they tried to destroy us." said Recon

"No one is leaving." fought Levi, "We don't know if this is their full fleet."

"I understand that but we either make a stand and destroy them now or there will be nothing left." said Recon

"Oi don't get so reckless." said Levi

"Enough, Commander Recon I understand that you want to attack but we have to protect the civilians." said Erwin

"We won't have the time to do that." said a voice behind us.

I turned around and saw Marksman cleaning his hands with Javelin behind him.

"We just finished interrogating Ivanov and if what he's saying is true we're doomed." said Marksman

"What did he say?" asked Recon

Marksman sighed and sat down on a rock.

"He's a clone." said Marksman

Recon smirked and scoffed a bit in disbelief.

"You're joking, no one can make clones." she said

Marksman doesn't laugh and neither does Javelin which scares me.

"You're not joking." sighed Recon

"I don't think I'm the type of person to make jokes." said Marksman

"Shit." sighed Recon

"That explains Floch's statement." said Mikasa

"Report everything to the queen and let the Colonel know when he's awake." said Erwin

"He's already awake." said Recon

I thought maybe I should tell him so I approached Erwin.

"Sir permission to tell the information to Colonel Ghost."

"Permission granted." said Erwin

I left with Annie even though it was just supposed to be me and we went down towards the underground district. I passed by my kids so we quickly comforted them and gave them kisses. We got to the room where Ghost was resting and entered.

"Sir?" I called out

"Eren what bring you here?" he asked

"I'm here to inform you about Captain Ivanov." I replied

"What about him?!" said a voice behind me that scared the living hell out of me.

I jumped up a bit while Annie stood there with wide eyes and we both jerked around to see Phantom standing behind us.

"Ma'am please don't scare me like that." I pleaded

"Oh sorry sorry." apologized Phantom, "But what about Ivanov?"

"Marksman said that Ivanov said that he was a clone." said Annie

"A clone?" questioned Ghost

"They can make clones now?" asked Phantom

"No wonder they faced us head to head." said Ghost

"Sir aren't you worried?" I asked

Ghost sighed and looked at me.

"I am worried, but now isn't the time to back down." replied Ghost

"Oh right." I said

"Eren how's the queen?" asked Phantom

"She's okay sir, just a shoulder wound." I replied

"Okay, I don't have anything to tell you since everything is just chaotic so you're free to go." said Ghost

"Get some rest sir." said Annie

We left the room and I elbowed Annie.

"So, how does it feel?" I asked

"What do you mean?" she asked

"The fact that we're experiencing an apocalypse when we thought we'll have peace." I said

"It's terrible." replied Annie

"I guess Colonel Ghost was right." I said

"Yea I suppose he was right." said Annie

Eren's POV

"I don't fucking understand, why do people want the extinction of humanity?!" I yelled

"Hey I don't know why the fuck are you yelling at me like that?!" yelled Jean

"For once I thought we could have peace after the war. I thought I was able to forget the times we were stuck inside a cage, I thought I was able to avenge my mom and dad after all this!" I continued to yell

"Eren calm down." said Mikasa

I was about to yell but someone grabbed my shoulder from behind and I spun around in anger but it was Colonel Ghost.

"Sir, I-"

"I understand how you feel." said Ghost

I looked at him surprised.

"I understand how all of you feel." said Ghost

Everyone around me was sad and depressed from the fact that we are the only country left standing.

"There can never be peace in this world." said Ghost

"Sir, if there'll be no peace in this world what's the point of fighting?" asked Armin

"Let me ask you this why do you fight?" asked Ghost

"For peace." replied Armin

"We're soldiers Armin." said Ghost, "Soldiers can never find peace."

"Sir, I don't know if I can continue killing people." cried Armin

Armin started crying and the others were crying as well. I felt like crying in frustration too but I held in my tears.

"Armin, we as soldiers have to get dirty." said Ghost, "We get dirty, then the world stays clean. But not for us, but for the civilians."

Armin looks up and wipes his tears away.

"We don't fight for ourselves to find peace, we fight for others to experience peace." said Ghost

"But sir, if we kill all the bad guys there are always others who want to do bad things." said Connie

"Wherever there's light, shadows will follow." said Ghost, "There'll always be bad guys hiding in those shadows."

He leaves us still crying and frustrated from everything that's happening.

'I guess he's right.'
