chapter 5

Someone asked if Rex will keep the abilities of the things he turns into and my answer being honest is

"I have no idea either. I'm writing as idea's are popping up, nothing is planned ahead" So let's do a vote in the comments. YES or NO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And like that, a year passes by. Our MC, now named Rex, lives with the Yeager's and at first it was awkward between him and Eren as he thought my red hair was because I was a demon. My triangular sharp teeth don't help at all, but he slowly got use to it and we got along pretty well most of the time. Other times though I want to punch him in the face for how muscle brain stupid he is, like trying to fight 3 kids 2x bigger than him when he is almost as small as Armin. Armin is a friend of both Eren and Mikasa, he's a nice kid but he's a bit of a coward in the smallest hint of danger.

'One week frome today is the fall of wall maria and I told them that, that day is my birthday. I didn't want to have a celebration but Carla insisted throwing one since I've been 'alone' for the past 3 years. Now I have to think of a situation where I can leave the house before the attack starts before i get quashed by a boulder.' I've made my self look a bit older and a lot healthier with small but defined muscles slowly over this past year. I've also gone through a small 'growth spert' and am now about 5foot 2inches tall.

I came up with the absolutely brilliant idea of just leaving the wood out in the open and 'accidentally' forgetting it there. I guess maybe not the best idea but it is effective. If we don't want to spend an entire day drying the wood after a storm to be able to cook with, we will have to got try to find some dry wood that was at least mostly dry or was covered from rain. I walk inside where the others are and say:

"Hey Eren, Mikasa, let's go get some more firewood, everything we grabbed the other day for the party supplies got soaked in rain last night"

Eren "Let's go!"

Mikasa nods and mutters "sure"

Even those we consider each other friends, Mikasa isn't as talkative with me as the other two. 'Probably still doesn't trust easily from the accident a few years back when lost her parents'

As we are leaving the house we come across Armin who was headed here. "Hey guys we're you going?"

"To get more firewood. come on let's go!" Eren replies as he starts to run off

Mikasa and Armin run after him, after a short hesitation while yelling his name. When they turn the first corner I shift into a bird when no one is looking and fly off up to the top of the wall of the inner gate that leads towards Trost district. As we live on the other side of the Shinganshina district it take about 10 minutes to fly there. It should take about 2 hours for Eren, Mikasa and Armin to reach this gate on foot especially since today is the day that there are merchants coming into the district causing crowded areas.

(author note: everything leading up to Eren, Mikasa and Armin arriving at the evacuation boats plays out like normal. They got distracted by my absence and were talking by the Canal when it started. I also have my fights somewhat major change coming up different than the original events.)

*BOOOOOOM*

'I was starting to question if it was actually today or not by looks like I was correct'

I continue to watch until the armored titan is about halfway across to district and headed this way and most of everyone still alive is at the boats. I fly over to the nearby forest before pulling out the Tyrantor with the giant war hammer and get in. I take a second to try the controls, then have an idea. I shape-shift into the silhouette knight prodigy Ernesti Echevalier, and almost as soon as I'm don't shifting i immediately notice its almost like second nature piloting the mech.

I then make my way over to the gate ignoring the people screaming and pointing. Probably thinking I'm another Titan. 'well I guess this can also be called a titan but not a Cannibalistic massive bag of muscle titan'

As I reach the closed gate I hear a quickly approaching thudding sound. Guessing that it is the armored titan i stand just off to the side and wind up to swing the massive hammer at any moment.

*BOOOM*

As I get eyes on the Titan I swing the hammer with all the mechs might yelling: "WE'RE CLOSED, COME BACK LATER!!!"

I can't believe what I'm looking at, first a massive titan towering over the wall. Then I find my mother trap under a boulder, which she then got killed by a titan, but then as we get to the evac boats a giant twelve meter tall metal titan holding a absolutely massive hammer approaches from this side of the wall. As everyone is looking up at it or running screaming for their life, it take the hammer and get into a swinging position and then..... 'wait what? why didn't it swing the hammer yet? why's it waiting?' I soon get my answers as the closed gate is breached by a eleven meter tall armored titan. As soon as it breaks through the metal one finally decided to swing the hammer. But.... but it aims at the other titan slamming into its chest launching it back through the hole like a cannon.

*BOOOOOOM* *rumble*

And for the next few seconds everything is silent. Next thing I know the metal titan looks over at us as says in a almost demonic like booming voice. "Leave already"

*BOOOOOM* *rumble*

After launching it back through the hole and sliding for probably 30 meters i turn to the survivers and say through the microphone: "Leave already"

That seem to wake them up as they take off in the boats. Seeing that I look back through the hole to see the armored titan still on the ground, but I notice steam coming off of it which means that it'll be back up shortly. I then make my way back into the forest to re-store Tyrantor back into my inventory. Afterwards I shift into a bird again and fly over to the boats to hear Eren screaming "I'M GONNA PUT A STOP TO THIS!! I'LL KILL THEM ALL!! EVERY LAST ONE!"

(author note: what he actually says)

I then land on the very top of the boat Eren, Mikasa and Armin are on, and shift into a small lizard to get through the gaps into the food storage shifting back to my human appearance and store 4 potatoes in my inventory. I make my way up top to find the group huddled together, I approach pulling out the potatoes stealthily giving each one with out the people around noticing, and whisper to them.

"Hey guys I finally found you. Here eat these when you're hungry"

All three look over at the voice to see me crounched next to them and their all suprised to see me.

"Rex!"

"thank you"

"I don't need your help, where were you when my mother was trapped huh. You could've help at least!"

I just stare at Eren for a few seconds before replying.

"Stop assuming stuff stupid Eren. I got lost trying to catch up to you 3 because I smell some food cooking and got distracted. The next thing I know all three of you are gone and I spent the entire time before the Titans attacked trying to find you three. Speaking of titans did you see that metal one? That thing looked badass... why are you looking at me like that, I did push back another titan"

"I guess, maybe that was a little cool but its still a titan. But the real thing is can it be killed the same way as it looked made of metal"

And like that we continue our trip to trost district.
