Attack on prime

Eren gasped as he opened his eyes to find himself looking at a dark ceiling. He slowly got up and moved his arms, only to find them bound to chains.

I see you're finally awake." a voice said.

Eren looked over to see he was behind bars; however, in front of the bars were two men that Eren immediately recognized.

The one sitting down on a chair was Commander Erwin Smith. The one standing up and leaning against the wall was Captain Levi. They were both members of the Scouting Legion with astounding skills.

"Do you have any questions Eren?" Erwin asked.

"Where am I?" Eren asked as he looked around the room he was in.

"You're now in an underground cell," Erwin answered, "As of now, you're under the Military Police's custody. We were granted permission to come and see you."

"What about my friends?" Eren asked.

"They'll be fine," Erwin answered, "We're asking them anything that could be related to how you got your titan power or the metal titan. However, it probably won't be much of a change."

Eren widened his eyes as he saw Erwin pull out a key. "That's the-"

"Yes, this is your key," Erwin interrupted, "You can have it back later, but back in your old home, in Doctor Jaeger's basement in the Zhingashina District, lies the answer to the mystery of the titans. Am I correct?"

"I'm not sure, at least I believe that's what my father said," Eren answered, still unsure.

"So you have amnesia and your dad's gone missing. Isn't that convenient," Levi remarked.

"Levi, we already talked about how he has no reason to lie to us," Erwin told him, before turning back to Eren, "There are thing we need to know. I believe we should ask what is it you want. In order to investigate your home, we need to seal the breach in the wall. That is where you and the metal titan's powers come in. Like it or not, the titans have influenced our fate, including the Colossal and Armored Titan. Your will is the key: the key humanity could use to get out of this hopeless situation."

"Uh..." Eren trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"Hey, we don't have all day you piece of crap. What do you want?" Levi demanded with irritation.

Eren looked back at the two with a crazed look in his eyes and a deadly smile. "I want to join the Scouting Legion, and kill every single titan in existence."

Levi's eyes seemed to gleam with amusement. "Not bad. Erwin, tell the higher ups that I will vouch for him."

Levi walked over and gripped one of the bars while giving Eren a deadly look. "Not that I trust him or anything. I just want to be around to kill him if he ever goes on a rampage. I don't think the top brass will disagree. I'm the only one who's fit for the job."

Levi and Erwin walked through the halls of the courtroom after they finished their talk with Eren. They were going over to talk to the other prisoner.

"That metal titan is suspicious," Levi began, "I don't trust it."

"I don't know if I could say the same," Erwin admitted, "However, what matters right now is finding if he has any motives."

"Well he certainly isn't gaining my trust," Levi remarked, "That thing bothered me after it willingly came with us to Wall Sina."

The Scouting Legion had their blades out as they surrounded the metal titan. The titans were eliminated from the city streets, but now they had to deal with a new kind of titan.

Levi's squad was getting ready to attack, but the metal titan transformed its weapons into hands, before it raised its hands in surrender.

"The hell?" Eld questioned.

Levi looked at his squad to see them completely shocked and confused. He also noticed that Hanji looked like she was going to burst with excitement.

"I do not wish to harm an of you," the metal titan spoke, "I just wanted to help you eliminate the threat."

Everyone in the Scouting Legion looked in shock as some of their mouths dropped. The titan just spoke. The titan just spoke their language like it was the back of his hand.

"That's not possible," Petra gasped.

Hanji began chuckling as she gave a dark smile. She was so going to enjoy this.

"I don't really think you have much to worry about," a voice said.

Levi looked over to see Commander Pixis land on the roof next to them.

"Commander Pixis," Erwin said.

"Commander Smith," Pixis greeted, "The titan, or Optimus Prime is not a threat to humanity. He helped seal the wall along with the titan shifter, Eren Jaeger. Optimus should cooperate with you without any trouble."

Erwin looked back at Optimus. "Will you be willing to cooperate?"

Optimus nodded his head.

"Then we will need to take you to Wall Sina. The Military Police will probably want custody of you." Erwin explained.

"I am sorry to say," Optimus began, "But I do not know where Wall Sina is."

Eren looked over at Levi's squad. "Levi, take your squad and some other soldiers to the capital."

Levi glared at Optimus before scowling. "Fine."

Erwin and Levi suddenly heard a shifting noise and quickly turned around to see a red and blue machine where the metal titan was standing.

"I forgot to mention," Pixis began as he saw their stunned faces, "Optimus can shift into this. He's actually a lot faster than the horses when like this."

Levi didn't say anything as he turned to his squad. "Let's go."

He could see his squad was hesitant, but they simply complied as they used their 3D Maneuver Gear to get to the gate with Optimus following them .

Erwin heard a strangled yelp as he turned o see Hanji clenching one fist while having an arm around another soldier's neck, practically choking him.

"We need to have him!" Hanji proclaimed.

"Let go off me you crazy bitch," the soldier yelled, only for Hanji to tighten her grip around his neck, causing his face to turn blue.

"Hanji's going to have a lot of fun with him." Levi remarked.

"It depends if we get custody of him," Erwin reminded, "If we don't win in the courtroom, the metal titan, no, Optimus Prime, will be handed over to the Military Police."

"I could just kill him," Levi suggested.

"That's impossible," Erwin began, "It was reported that a trainee tried to attack him, but her blades shattered on contact."

"So he's stronger than the Armored Titan?" Levi questioned.

"There's a high chance," Erwin answered, "Right now, we need to find out his intentions."

In all his years of being alive, (and that's a long time), and being a Prime, Optimus has never been more irritated than ever. He wasn't irritated, he was tempted.

Optimus willingly cooperated to come to Wall Sina and be under the custody of the so-called "Military Police." He was currently being guarded by two of them as they were outside of some courtroom.

Why was he so irritated, you may ask? Because the Military Police were nothing more than arrogant slagheads. They were probably even worse than Knockout when he was with the Decepticons.

He knew that the two soldiers probably didn't care about guarding him, because he was in his alt mode, and the two soldiers probably didn't believe the story about what happened in the city called Trost.

But what he couldn't believe the conversation they were having. The soldiers that fought in Trost were expendable? The titans should've eaten more of their own kind? What was wrong with them?

And that's why he was so tempted to slam his doors into both of their faces, but his morals were the only thing preventing him from doing so.

"Commander Smith," one of the soldiers saluted.

Optimus quietly turned his side-view mirror to see two other soldiers walking towards them.

'Those two I met before,' Optimus thought. He knew that the tall one name's was Erwin Smith, but he was unsure about the short one's name. He believed that he was called Levi.

"We came to speak to the titan," Erwin said.

"You mean this thing?" the second soldier asked, "Good luck with that, it hasn't even said anything."

'Don't do anything just yet,' Optimus told himself.

"Are you sure that this thing helped in the battle for Trost?" the first solider asked, "It looks like a piece of trash to me."

On second thought, to the Pits with it.

Optimus unlocked his door and slammed the first soldier's face with it. The soldier clutched his face in pain as he rolled on the ground. Optimus closed his door and locked it so no one could try to open the door.

"This so-called 'piece of trash' save your race, the soldiers that you thought were expendable," Optimus spoke.

The short soldier Levi glared at the soldier that was looking at Optimus in shock. "Is that right?"

"Levi, that's enough, " Erwin instructed, "We're not here to fight."

Levi scowled. "Whatever."

Erwin looked back at Optimus. "Can we speak with you face to face?"

"I do not think it would be wise to reveal my true form in the middle of a city where thousands of humans are watching," Optimus explained, "I do not wish to cause chaos."

"It's reasonable," Erwin said, " I will go straight to the point: do you know why you're here and what is going to happen?"

"Judging by where I am, your government is going to put me and the boy on trial." Optimus answered.

"You're very observant," Erwin remarked, "but yes, they will determine which military group you will be sent to. You may have helped Trost and humanity; however, there are humans who still fear you."

"It is reasonable," Optimus said, remembering in the past how the humans reacted around him when they met him for the first time.

"There is something I want to ask you," Erwin began, "Do you know anything about the titans that you saw during the battle?"

"I do not know anything about this world," Optimus answered, "I have never seen any of those creatures that you call 'titans.' Your kind refers to me as this 'Armored Titan.' I have never seen or heard of it before."

"This is new," Levi remarked, "A titan that doesn't know of its own kind."

"Those creatures are not my kind. I am not part of their species." Optimus retorted calmly.

Erwin slightly widened his eyes. "That doesn't make any sense."

"I wish that I could tell you right now, but I know that this is only a temporary visit. I will speak of my origins during the trial." Optimus told them.

"Then tell us why you're here," Levi demanded, "Since you know nothing about our world,"

Optimus was silent for a moment. "I do not know how or why I am here, but know that I will be fighting for humanity."

Erwin looked over at Levi, who still had a poker-face, before looking back at Optimus. "It's seems that you're telling the truth, but I'm not your judge. Whatever happens during that trial, will determine your fate,"

"You lucky bastard!" Hanji yelled as Levi drank his tea, "What's he like? Did he show you anything cool? Tell me!"

"He slammed the door into the policeman's face after he was called a 'piece of junk.'" Levi informed, "I'm guessing other stuff happened too, since the titan told us that the policemen said our soldiers were expendable."

"That bitch," Oluo muttered, "If I see him, I'll beat the crap out of him."

"Anything else?" Hanji asked.

"The way he spoke was too formal," Levi told her, "It's annoying if you ask me, but I think he's suspicious."

"Why?" Petra asked.

"Because he said he never knew of our world, and he's never heard of the titans," Levi answered.

His squad and Hanji looked at Levi in surprise.

"Are you serious?" Oluo asked.

Levi simply nodded his head.

"Maybe the titan got amnesia or something?" Eld suggested.

"Or maybe it's from another world!" Hanji squealed in excitement, "A place far more advanced than our own! There's probably more like him! I can't wait to find out!"

"She's at it again," Oluo whispered to Eld, "Crazy as ever."

"Hanji, you're just as ecstatic as ever," Levi remarked sarcastically as he drank his tea.

Optimus was quietly recharging as he was still in his alt mode with two new guard who were more cautious.

Optimus was still mad at the two soldiers from earlier. The main reason was because of what they said about their own kind, their soldiers. But the other reason was because they hadn't seen the casualties. They didn't see the bodies practically literally the streets. The air smelled of death, figuratively and literally. He still couldn't get the image out of his mind.

Optimus shot the last titan in the head before it fell to the ground and disintegrated. He detected more titans a couple of meters away and was about to go over there, but something caught his optics.

It was a half-eaten corpse sprawled on the ground. The blood was dry so it probably wasn't fresh.

The world seemed to slowly come to a stop as he noticed more dead on the ground, on buildings, or leaning of something.

Optimus widened his optics in shock and horror. He was so caught up with getting rid of the threat that he didn't notice something as simple as that. Why? Why were there casualties?

Optimus detected a faint life signature in the rubble of the building next to him. He knelt down and moved the bricks and wood piled on top of the human.

When he saw the human, a female soldier, he carefully pulled her out and held her gently in his servos.

"Are you alright? Can you hear me?" Optimus asked.

"Did we..." the girl was trying to force out, "Did we seal the breach? Did we win?"

"Yes," Optimus immediately answered, "The breach has been sealed. The titans will not be coming in."

The girl forced out a smile as Optimus saw a wound getting worse. "Humanity's ...first victory. I'm glad."

Optimus could detect her life force slowly fading. "Listen to me. Save your energy. I'll take you to the nearest medic."

But it was too late, the girl died with a calm, peaceful smile on her face. Optimus widened his optics as he gently put her down on the ground.

He shook his helm before he ran towards the titan's near his area.

'I did not even know her name,' Optimus thought.

It broke his spark. He's seen billions of his own people die in the most gruesome way, but why? Why did that girl's death make him feel like he was living in the past? Why did it bother him so much?

Why?

Eren sat in his cell as he looked at his chains. It's been around a day or so ago since he woke up from a coma, but Eren was just wondering when he could leave this place?

"May I use the restroom?" Eren asked one soldier.

"You already went," the soldier answered coldly.

"Can I have some water?" Eren asked the second soldier.

"Know your place, monster," he replied as he turned away.

Eren slightly hung his head in confusion as he looked at his chains. He completely understood why they were acting like this, but did they really have to do all of this just to keep him on lockdown?

What about the metal titan? How were they keeping him restrained? They can't really trust him. Eren was born human. The government had everything about him, but the metal titan was different. He was different from the titans, including the Colossal and Armored Titan. He should be worried about it, but it saved Armin and many others, at least that's what he heard.

That's right, his friends. Were they all okay? Did they make it out of Trost alive?

Eren snapped out of his thought as he heard door open from the outside. He waited as he heard footsteps coming towards his cell, but it suddenly got quiet.

Too quiet.

Eren jumped as a woman with glasses and a ponytail came out of nowhere and clutched the bars while giving him a scary look.

"You must be Eren," she smiled happily, "Are you okay? Anything new? Sorry to keep you waiting, but it seems you're finally getting out."

Eren sighed with relief.

"But you'll have to wear these," she added as she showed Eren handcuffs.

"I'm Hanji Zoe, a Survey Corps squad leader," she introduced as they walked towards their destination.

Eren tried to move as a man was sniffing him.

"He's another squad leader," Hanji explained, "Mike Zacharius. He has the habit of smelling people he's just met, and then smirking. I don't think it has any real significance. After all, he's good enough that they gave him a squad."

There was silence as they continued walking.

"Oh, sorry! Too much chit-chat," she said as they arrived at a door, "We're already here. Don't worry. It's better not to get any explanations in advance."

Eren widened his eyes as he was being pushed through the door, "Wait!"

"I know it's selfish, but we have no choice but to blindly put our trust in you. Good luck," Hanji said before closing the doors.

"Kneel down there," a policeman order.

Eren simply complied as he kneeled down. The policeman put a pole in between Eren's cuffs.

He tried to move, but it was useless, he was stuck. Eren then looked around to see the Military Police, the Garrison Troops, the Survey Corps, and...Armin and Mikasa?

He looked up to see an old man rolling up his sleeves and sitting down. "Well then, let us begin,"

"They're going to start the trial," a guard said.

Optimus woke up from his recharge and eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Yeah," the other guard began, "They're finally going to decide what to do with that titan."

'Eren Jaeger,' Optimus thought, 'It would seem that we will be having separate trials.'

"Do you think he'll be handed over to the Survey Corps?" the first guard asked.

"I hope not," the second guard answered, "A titan siding with humanity sounds absurd. I mean the titan could turn on humanity. Probably let the titan in like the Colossal and Armored Titan"

Optimus made the assumption that the Colossal and Armored Titan could break the wall. They were probably the ones that made the breach.

"Let's just hope we get that monster," the second guard continued, "So we can just kill him"

Optimus would have grimaced if he was in his bipedal mode. Kill him? From what he had gathered, no one knew that Eren could transform. The boy didn't know either. Even though it may not prove beneficial for him, considering the fact there are counterarguments, it could still help because someone could help Eren control that ability.

"But what about this thing?" the first guard asked, "how are they going to kill it? From what I heard 3D Maneuver Gear won't work on him, and it's sentient."

"Really?" the second soldier asked in surprise, "but it's not even a titan. It just looks like some weird caravan."

"I think the way it looks is proof enough for me." the first guard remarked.

Optimus mentally sighed. If he was going to be handed over to the Military Police, he might as well just leave the wall. They already pissed him off. If Ratchet were here he probably would've thrown something at them, despite his orders to not harm them.

'The Autobots,' Optimus thought. Were they alright? Did anything happen to them? There was no way he could get to them or Cybertron. He didn't even know where this planet was located. This world didn't even make electricity yet, so he couldn't do squat.

But why was he worried? The war was finally over, and his comrades would protect their home world with their lives. He knew that. He had complete faith in them.

But there was...

"Because I now know the true meaning of oppression, and have thus lost my taste for inflicting it."

Optimus wanted to believe that. He wanted to believe Megatron truly meant that, but deep down he couldn't. After eons of fighting, how could he really believe that? What if Megatron attacked Cybertron? What was he doing right now?

Another thing was bothering him as well. Why was he here? He was so caught up with everything that's happened in this world that he never had time to think. Why was he even here? He was suppose to be one with Primus. Did Primus send him here? Did he have a purpose here? Was it really not his time to be one with the Allspark?

Optimus mentally sighed. He knew his questions weren't going to be answered, probably never too. For now, he had to wait to see what would happen next.

"Then I have made my decision. Eren Jaeger will be handed over Survey Corps." Zackley declared.

Armin sighed with relief. "Thank goodness."

Mikasa calmed down as she moved her hand from Armin's grip, glaring at Levi.

"Now we need to bring in the other titan," Zackley said.

Erwin looked up at the balcony. "Hanji is doing so as we speak."

Levi looked up to see Hanji no longer on the balcony while Mike looked around completely dazed before running after her.

He face palmed. "Great."

Hanji looked in awe as she hid behind a brick wall.

"There it is," she whispered to herself, "In all its glory, the metal titan. I can't wait to find out more about it."

Hanji moved from the wall and walked over to the titan while greeting the tow soldiers guarding him. She began to inspect the side before moving her hand to touch the door.

"Don't touch it! That thing could hurt you!" a soldier yelled.

Hanji didn't listen as she put her palm on the door.

"Wow, it really is made out of metal, and it feels warm." Hanji said to herself.

She then kneeled down to observe the wheels. "The wheels are also metal, but that black stuff looks weird, looks like rubber."

She then looked through the window and inside the vehicle. "Whoa, this looks so cool. It looks so weird and cool at the same time. The seats look comfy, too."

"Hanji, what are you doing?" Mike demanded as he walked up to her.

"I'm just looking." Hanji answered as she attempted to open the door. "It locks itself on the inside. Smart."

"Hanji!" Mike yelled.

"Mirrors to look behind you while moving." Hanji ignored Mike as she moved the mirrors from side to side. "Looks a lot easier than moving the neck. This titan's practically the ultimate weapon!"

Hanji squealed with excitement while the three sweat dropped. She stopped as she noticed something at the front of the titan. She walked over to it and kneeled down to looked like a face of some sort. She rubbed her thumb across the design.

"I wonder what this means," Hanji wondered.

"It is the symbol of a war faction from my home," a voice answered.

Hanji jumped and stumbled back while the two guards pointed their rifles at the vehicle.

Hanji immediately recovered and smiled. "You're a war veteran?!"

"Yes," the metal titan answrered.

"Awesome!" Hanji squealed.

"Hanji," Mike called out cautiously.

"Right, right, you're going to have your trial now." Hanji told the metal titan.

"Understood," he answered.

"Wait," the first guard cut off, "How are you going to bring him in the courtroom? He can't exactly fit through the doors."

"And if people saw a titan in the city, they would panic," the second guard added.

"Haven't thought about that," Hanji said to herself, "We could bring Zackley out here."

"While he's not restricted?!" the first guard practically screeched.

"Well, we can't exactly restrict him," Hanji retorted casually.

The four suddenly heard a fizzing noise and turned to see the sight before them. The two guard's mouths dropped, Mike's eyes looked like they were going to pooped out of his head, and Hanji smiled like there was no tomorrow.

"Armin," Mikasa began, "how do you think the other trial will go?"

"I don't know," Armin whispered, "they can't fit Optimus in the courtroom. We may have to go outside."

Armin noticed Mikasa slightly glaring at Levi. "Mikasa, Eren's going to be fine. Just be thankful he's not being handed over to the Military Police."

Mikasa still glared at Levi.

The doors suddenly opened, causing Armin and Mikasa to look in surprise and confusion. They saw two people from the Military Police, but they also saw someone else.

It was a man in his mid-thirties with light skin. His dark hair almost covered his bright blue eyes. He also had a short beard. He wore a black shirt with a red jacket and fingerless gloves. Armin noticed that there was a symbol on the upper sleeve of the jacket that looked familiar. He also wore a pair of dark blue pants with brown boots.

The man looked over at Armin and Mikasa as he continued walking towards the center. Armin widened his eyes in shock while Mikasa looked in confusion.

'Those eyes, they're the same as,' Armin thought.

"It's Optimus." Armin whispered.

"What?" Mikasa questioned, "Armin that doesn't make any sense."

"I know it doesn't, but neither does the fact that he could change into some kind of weapon," Armin retorted, "It's him, I know it."

Optimus stood before the judge before looking at his surroundings. On his right he saw people who looked at him with worry, fear, and skepticism. He made a guess they were the conservatives.

One his left, he saw Erwin Smith and Levi. He also saw Commander Pixis, Armin, and Mikasa. He glanced back to see Eren kneeling down and chained his face bloody and battered. Eren slightly glared at him before Optimus turned away.

'I have to be careful,' Optimus thought, 'I do not know what happened, but I know that my fate isn't the only thing being decided.'

"Let us begin," the judge said, " I understand that you were first seen in the Battle of Trost. Is that correct?"

"Yes, your honor," Optimus answered.

"Do you understand why you're here?" the judged asked.

"I am aware that I will be handed over to one of the branches in your military." Optimus answered.

"You will be either handed over to either the Survey Corps or the Military Police." The judge explained before looking at each side, "Commander Nile, does your proposal remain the same?"

"Yes," the man known as Nile answered, "Dissection on the metal titan would prove beneficial for humanity. He is able to transform his body part, and it may help with the advancement of our weaponry."

"Commander Smith, does your proposal remain the same?" the judge asked Erwin.

"Yes, Zackley," Erwin answered, "We plan to take him to the outer wall and use him to help seal the breach in Wall Maria. That is all."

Optimus kept a blank expression, but he knew the man wasn't done. He knew, Erwin was waiting for the right moment to say his other proposals depending on what happened right now.

"Do you have any issues with that?" the judge known as Zackley asked.

"None, your honor," Optimus answered.

"I'm glad you're being cooperative," Zackley said, "Now, as I've said before, you were first seen in the Battle of Trost. It has never been recorded that a kind of titan like you has ever appeared in humanity's history. Would you care to explain who you are?"

"My name is Optimus Prime. I am an autonomous robotic organism from the plant Cybertron. To make things simpler, I am a sentient being from another world." Optimus explained.

That immediately caused whispers to go out through the courtroom. Optimus could hear words of surprise and disbelief.

"Another world?" Eren questioned in shock.

"How is that even possible?" Armin asked.

Levi looked over to see even Erwin in shock.

"Oluo owes me big," Hanji smirked to herself.

Optimus mentally smacked himself in the head. Gaining the humans' trust probably flew straight out of the water for him. But he had to tell them the truth. He had no reason to lie and he also knew little about this world.

"Are you telling me that there is life outside of this world?" Zackley asked.

"Yes, your honor," Optimus answered.

"Zackley," Nile began, "How do we know if he's telling the truth? He was reported to be a metal titan, but he is standing before us as a human."

"My actual form is outside the building," Optimus explained, "This is merely a holographic form, or a fake imagery if you will. The only reason I am using this form because I do not wish to cause chaos."

"Can you show us?" Zackley asked.

Optimus held out his arm before it began to shift. Everyone looked in shock and horror as the arm changed into a metallic arm.

'I knew it,' Armin thought.

"So cool," Hanji whispered.

"He's a demon!" a man with black robes and a golden necklace accused, "He's a demon who has tricked the divine wall, just like that monster!"

Optimus just gave the man a blank expression as his arm changed back. Judging by his attire, the man was probably part of a religion, but Optimus remembered people that were very connected to their religion. He was pretty sure Miko had a name for them. Oh yeah, religious freak.

"Pastor Nick," Zackley said before turning back to Optimus, "So your race is more advanced than our own?"

"Yes," Optimus answered,"My race has the ability to transform, create, and so on. We have even been able to travel beyond our world."

"But why are you here in our world?" Zackley asked, "if you already have a world of your own?"

"In all honesty, your honor, I did not mean to come here. I had no idea that a world like this existed," Optimus explained.

Optimus was technically telling the truth. He's seen a world full of humans, yes, but he's never heard of this kind of earth where the odds were definitely not in the human's favor.

"How do we know that you will not attack us?" Nile asked, "Or bring more of your race to our world?"

"I do not know where this planet is located, and I cannot contact my comrades. I also have no quarrel, malice, or reason to attack your kind." Optimus answered, "However, if my presence is unwelcome, or if I am handed over to the Military Police, I shall simply leave the wall in peace, and you will never have to see me again."

"And why would you say something like that?" Zackley asked.

"The Military Police want me dead out of their own fear," Optimus explained, "If I am handed over to the Survey Corps, I will aid them since their purpose is to fight for humanity. Either way, my purpose of fighting for humanity will not change."

"Why should we put our trust in you?!" Pastor Nick demanded, "You have already defiled our walls, our gods! What makes you so worthy of-"

"Your walls are not gods." Optimus calmly retorted.

"What?" Pastor Nick demanded.

Levi quirked an eyebrow in curiosity.

"A God is a being more power than a human or even myself," Optimus explained, "A God is a living being who suppose to be compassionate, kind, and loving his creation. What have your walls, your 'gods', done for you besides keep a barrier between you and those creatures, you call titans? Also, when I first arrived here, I saw a breach in your wall caused by the so-called Colossal and Armored Titan. And I'm going to make a guess that this has probably happened before. Your walls are not invincible, neither are they gods. It is simply a fortress created by your kind. So tell me, Pastor Nick, do you really think your walls are gods?"

Pastor Nick gritted his teeth as he glared at Optimus.

"The guts with this guy," Riko muttered.

Optimus still looked at Pastor Nick. He knew very well what a God was. He was practically chosen by the God of his world to carry the Matrix. He even fought the god of destruction and chaos. And the humans created these walls, so why would they consider them gods? He was going to have to find a way to look into this if he ever got the chance.

Zackley raised an eyebrow as he saw a symbol on Optimus' sleeve.

"What does the symbol on your sleeve represent?" Zackley asked.

Optimus looked to see the Autobot symbol on his sleeve. "It is the symbol of my faction during the war for my home world."

Mutters began to go across the room once again.

"He's a soldier?" Mikasa asked herself.

"It makes sense," Armin told her, remembering how Optimus killed the titans when they first met.

"You are a soldier?" Zackley asked.

"Yes, your honor," Optimus answered, "I was the leader of a group called the Autobots."

"Hm, is Armin Arlert here?" Zackley asked.

"Yes, that's me," Armin answered.

"You were the first soldier to see Optimus during Trost," Zackley began, "Did he ever show odd behavior?"

"No," Armin answered, "Optimus is very intelligent. He managed to stop Eren from hurting Mikasa. Also, his fighting skills are far more stronger than any elite soldier I've seen. He's even saved me from getting eaten twice."

"Is that so?" Zackley asked before looking back at Optimus, "Would you care to show us your fighting skills then?"

"I have no problem with that," Optimus answered.

"Wait," Nile began, "Do you really think it's safe to let him do this?"

"I don't see an issue with this," Levi spoke, "It was reported that he killed over a hundred titans, and possibly more. I want to see him in action."

'A hundred?' Eren thought.

"Nile, send three soldiers to fight him," Zackley instructed.

Nile was hesitant, but had to agree. Three soldiers from the Military Police walked towards Optimus and surrounded him while aiming their rifles.

Optimus just narrowed his eyes as he began to analyze them. There were two in front of him and one behind him. They all had eyes full of fear. Their stances were poor. He could even tell that one of the soldier's legs were shaking. They didn't even notice the slightest scuffle of his foot or the movement of his hands.

They were all fueled by their own fear. They were all bark and no bite, but if he showed all of his fighting skill it may cause more fear than necessary. He made a decision: he had to disarm them and knock them off of their feet.

"What's he doing?" Riko asked, "He's just standing there."

"He's analyzing them," Armin realized, "He's trying to find out who to attack first."

The world seemed to go in slow motion as Optimus began to move. Armin widened his eyes as Optimus kicked the rifle out of the hands of the soldier behind him. One of the soldiers in the front were prepared to fire, but Optimus ducked and kicked the soldier off of his feet. Optimus grabbed the rifle out of the soldier's hands before he hit the ground. Optimus then used the hilt of the rifle to knock the weapon from the last soldier. He caught the rifle before aiming both of them at the two soldiers that were still standing.

The whole courtroom was stunned at the sight before them.

"Whoa," Hanji breathed.

Eren looked in pure horror. This titan had more power and more skill than he ever did. He was probably even more skilled than Annie.

"Optimus wasn't even trying," Armin spoke, causing Mikasa to look at him in confusion.

"I could tell," Armin began, "Optimus was holding back by a lot. Also, if Optimus really was trying or not he could've killed Eren without any problem whatsoever.

However, the next action confused everyone. Optimus just lowered his arms before handing the rifles back to the two soldiers. Optimus then walked over to the soldier on the ground and held out his hand towards him.

The man reached his shaking hand out after what seemed to be an eternity. Optimus took his hand and pulled him up to his feet. He then picked up the rifle that was on the ground and gave it to the soldier.

"Like I have said before, I have no reason to attack your kind," Optimus stated, "however if the human race is being threatened, I will not hesitate to pull the trigger."

"Sir, I have a proposal," Erwin said as he raised his hand, "Since Optimus' origins or capabilities are rather a mystery and that he is also willing to cooperate, he may be willing to tell us about himself and his race."

"Are you willing to do that Optimus?" Zackley asked.

"I have no problem with sharing any information about my race," Optimus answered, "And depending on the resources here, I may be able to help you create new weapons to fight the titans without dissecting my body, if you are even capable of doing so,"

"Also," Erwin continued, "It was mentioned before that Optimus was able to restrain Eren in his titan form. If Eren was to lose control, Optimus may be able to stop Eren rampaging without killing him."

Eren immediately stiffened at that. That titan was going to watch him? Were they crazy?

"Before I make my decision, why do you want to help the human race so badly?" Zackley asked.

There was silence before Optimus spoke up, "Freedom is the right for all sentient beings."

Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

"I will help the humans win their war against the titans, even if it shall cost me my life. This I vow," Optimus said as he did their salute, "with all my spark."

Zackley was silent for a moment. "I've made my decision."

(Deleted scene)

Optimus tapped his fingers on his arm as he was walking towards the courtroom with the humans that came to get him earlier. The male was more cautious than before. The female; however, was a bit more bold.

Optimus closed his eyes as he felt the female poke his cheek. She repeated this process two more times, before touching the sleeve of the jacket. She then stopped before constantly and rapidly poking at his arm.

"Hanji," the male warned.

The female known as Hanji stopped before she began to mess with the holoform's hair.

"Ma'am," Optimus began.

"I'm sorry," Hanji apologized, "I forgot to introduce myself. I' m a Survey Corps squad leader, Hanji Zoe."

"Ms. Zoe," Optimus stated once again, "Even thought this is not my real form, my nervous system still works just the same. So can you please stop touching me?"

"Okay, I'm sorry," Hanji apologized before there was silence.

"One more poke?" Hanji asked.

Optimus sighed, "Fine."

Hanji poked Optimus once again before pumping her fists in the air.

Optimus could've sworn Hanji reminded him of a human. A girl with a exciting attitude and an interest in learning about the enemy or new thing in general.

Optimus widened his eyes. Hanji was a combination of Miko and Silas. Oh, he was so fragged.
