3rd POV

"When did you last replace your shaft?" A man asked a certain potato girl.

"After the mop-up, sir, that was six days ago." Sasha answered solumly.

Another lady checked the list and nodded. "Right. She's clear." The man nodded.

"Okay, you're good," turning to the crowd of soldiers, the man shouted, "who's next?!"

"I'm with squad 42. Krista Lens, sir." The blonde said boldly as she took her turn.

"Well let's take a look." Angered whispers spread through the crowd of tired soldiers.

"So now we actually get in trouble for killing titans?"

"Yeah, it's crazy. But they were valuable test subjects."

"I know that! What I don't understand is why they're trying to find the killer among the cadets. They're worn out enough as it is from cleaning up the battlefield. I wouldn't have the energy."

Connie stops listening in on two soldiers' conversation and addresses Armin. "I guess someone hated looking at those things more than I did." He says.

Armin sadly looks at his friend. "The sad thing is, they might've actually helped the titans more than anything. All that knowledge lost, and for what? Someone's personal revenge? It just doesn't make any sense!" Armin quietly ranted.

"It might sound dumb, but i'm glad they did it." Connie continues to look forward as he speaks.

"Before I had actually seen a titan, I was convinced I wanted to become a scout and take them all on. Now I never want to lie eyes on one again. And today, we have to pick which regiment to join." Connie finished, his eyes looking slightly haunted.

Noel's POV

"After that whole inspection, they didn't turn up one person who used their ODM gear without permission?" I asked, slightly skeptical.

The higher up men ignored me and continued on with their conversation. Huffing, I started to walk away. "Hey Noel, Eren! Do you guys know if anyone in your class is thinking of joining us?" I turned around and faced the two men while skipping backwards towards Eren.

"Yeah, there's a few." I hummed in agreement.

"Yeah! I know Mikasa and Armin are joining, I think that Connie, Sasha, Ymire, and Krista may be joining." Eren looked at me in shock.

"How do you know?" I tapped my twin's nose.

"Despite what it might seem at times, I listen." Eren batted my hand away.

"Well that was beforw the Trost incident. We don't know if they'll actually join." Eren said dramatically.

I just as dramatically sighed. "Lighten up Eren! Have faith!" I said, stretching the faith part.

The sound of a horse quiets the conversation. "Fall in!" Everyone immediately drops what they're doing any stands in a line where Captin Levi arrives.

"Make ready people, we're going on patrol." Each of us salute.

"Yes sir!" Eren steps forward and salutes again.

"Good morning Captin! Reporting for duty!" It takes all my will power to not face palm at Eren's actions.

"Eren you will stay within ten meters of me at all times. That includes you as well, Noel." I pull on a lose lock of my white hair.

"B-but, I won't be able to explore!" Levi deadpans.

"That's the point. Don't argue. The only reason you two are out of your cell is because I'm keeping an eye on you, understood." This time both of us salute.

"Yes sir!" We say.

Levi nods. "Let's ride!"

Timeskip (I'll be doing this a lot in case you haven't noticed.)

My green cape billows out behind me as I spur my horse to keep pace with Eren's. Nothing is said as we ride across the green land.

3rd POV

The main cadets of the 104th training cadets lean against a brick wall. Jean walks in front of them. Armin quickly pushes himself off the wall.

"Jean! You're really set on the Scouting Regiment?" Jean nods grimly.

"Yeah." Sasha seems concerned.

"Whoa, are you serious? I mean, aren't you terrified?" Sasha looks conflicted.

"Huh? Of course I'm scared, I'm not an idiot here." Connie looks up.

"Then why are you-"

"Because I am scared of the titans and I sat to do something about it."

"Huh?"

"Bur listen, I underatand that joining the scouts isn't for everybody. I won't guilt trip you, unlike a certain suicidal maniac." Connie's eyes light up in recognition as he stood up.

"Eren. I guess he's already been a scout for a while now hasn't he? Noel too. They both are fighting." Jean doesn't get a chance to reply.

"Cadets! Solid! Head to the platform! Time to make you choice! Move it!" While everyone is being herded to the platform, Jean stares at Connie.

"At the end of the day, there's nothing anyone can say to pursuade you to risking your life. Same goes for me. So believe me when i say this deciaion is all mine." Jean then turns around to walk with everyone else.

Mikasa, who had been quiet the whiole time, along with the others watched Jean's receding figure.

[I'm seven minutes in and already my thumbs are cramping. I'm gonna end this fast.]

"Good evening. I am Erwin Smith, Commander of the Scouting Regiment, also known as the Survey Corps. Today is the day you will choose your regiment. Let's cut to the chase here, the scouts need you, we nees all the warm bodies we can get. After the recent titan attack, you now know firsthand the horrors the titans are capable of as well as the limits of your own skill. However, this battle's aftermath gave humanity a new chance for victory. Two in fact. I'm referring to Noel and Eren Jaeger. After selflessly risking life and limb, they have proven beyond a doubt, their unwavering loyalty to our cause. Hope lives in those twins. Eren and Noel didn't just help deter the titan invasion, they've offered us a means to discern the truth of the titans' origin. Intel suggests the the celler of Jaegers' home in Shiganshina holds a vital secrer reguarding our enemy. We will form an expedition to find this secret. Find it, and use it to break free from the titans' tyrannical hundred year reign once and for all." Whispers soread like wild fire as Erwin pauses.

"If we can figure out what makes titans tick, we can hit em where it hurts!" Someone declares.

(Watch the video because I'm so freaking lazy. I don't own this, whoever does, does.)

I IS DONE! Now, I sincerely apologize for not updating. I'm not sure if it posted, but I'm intensely studying for a foreign exchange program. This may change over a course of time, but so far I'm completely serious and involved in it. Though I do realise that I have been neglecting my stories, I'm working on balancing everything out. My other story 'this curse this blessing' will be put up for adoption. If it is not claimed, adopted, or I have been notified that someone has shown interest in adopting it, I will be deleting it as it does not flow the way I wished. I may rewrite it in the future but that has a slim chance of happening. But, since I'm on spring break new things will be happening. Hopefully, I will get an invitation to post my works on AO3, this will include new stories on other fandoms such as Avengers, My hero academia, Fairy Tail, Percy Jackson, Snow White With the red hair, and others. I will be posting my stories on Wattpad, but they will be posted on AO3. I will soon post my profile name.

I thank you all for following me, it means so much to me as a aspiring writer! Don't worry, I'm not leaving. But check in with AO3 for any of my stories once I have an account. Sorry for not updating!
