Attack On Titan 2: New Era

"What is this thing...!?" exclaimed Kaiser in terror.

"Kaiser! Kaiser!!?"

"Huh? Jack...?"

"We should hurry up and escape or it will just kill us all. Run!"

"R-Right!"

The cerberus looking creature or cerberus itself, stared at the boy. Then, it gently blew some flames to burn the ropes that bound Aldo.

"!?"

Aldo seemed to be shocked at what he just witnessed. The cerberus bow down as if it wanted the boy to ride on it.

"..."

The boy realised that a strange voice was saying something before. It said that Aldo should look in the eyes of his pet Archie.

The boy spoke Archie's name and the cerberus reacted.

Aldo realised that this giant cerberus is none other than his own pet dog Archie. Boy was wondering what is really happening here and then he realised what is going on here. It is the tree and that strange creature that made it possible.

"There they are! Kill the cerberus! Use your weapons! Quick! Everyone!" exclaimed Jack.

It seemed like Jack brought his men to hunt down the cerberus.

"What is that creature!?"

"I have never seen such a thing before!"

"What is that boy doing with the creature?"

"Don't tell me that boy did this!"

"What!? Really? That boy?!"

"Tch, so it's that boy huh!? I knew it! That boy was planning something against us! We should have killed him already!"

All the men seemed to be talking to each other as they began to blame everything on Aldo.

"..."

The kid stared at them, wondering whether he should run away or plead for his own life. Aldo already knew, they will just feed him to their beloved dangerous man eating dogs. So, the boy had only one option.

"Look! That boy just ride on that monster...and he is escaping!?"

"We can't let them go! Get your guns ready! Everyone!" ordered Kaiser.

"Yes sir!"

----

The boy looked in the eyes of bats and they eventually were turned into huge looking monster bats.

"..."

The boy merely attempted to experiment his powers on bats, but who knew the powers he got are real. However, Aldo had failed to control those transformed bats. Instead, these bats were headed in the opposite direction, perhaps, to stop the enemies who are chasing this boy.

Aldo never imagined in his life that he would get in this kind of situation. However, little choice he had but to escape. All he could do was to run away from them.

Archie seemed to understand boy very much and so it understood that the boy wanted to run away instead of confronting those people back then.

"There!"

"You can't run away kid! You both are surrounded by us!"

Although those huge transformed bats went to the opposite direction, it looked like some of the enemies had choosen the different path to entrap the kid.

"..." Aldo descend on the ground.

"You are going to pay for this boy!"

Aldo never intended to fight back. He was left with no choice but to fight back. Archie understood what Aldo had decided.

"Let's finish both of them! We might get promoted by Kaiser and Jack this way!" exclaimed one of the men.

Cerberus- or Archie, faced upwards as it unleashed flame balls through its mouth. The flame balls came down, upon touching the ground and few men got exploded. There is now flames all over the place, burning down nearby trees or other objects as well as those few men's were caught in its flame.

"N-No! They killed few of us! It's dangerous!"

Because of the smokes that emerged from the impact, these men weren't able to see much. However, as the smoke vanished everyone witnessed Archie who seemed to ate one of the men. Tearing the body of the other men with its sharp claws.

"W-W-What!? It killed two more men! F-Fire!" exclaimed one of them in terror and confusion.

Everyone used their laser guns, shooting with precisions. However...

"What! Why these weapons aren't working on it!?"

Humanity has long forgotten about those powerful Titans who existed before. They may know but refused to ignore them, thinking they are completely gone forever.

Therefore, the man even forgot to make the weapons or any preparations to face the new threat. These guns are useful against humans but not against these strange creatures. So in the end...

"Argh!....h....hel...hel-"

Before the man even could beg for help, he was immediately crunched into pieces by the cerberus, with its sharp fangs.

There is no one alive who now stands in the way of this boy.

"..."

"Hey! I see flames that way, could it be that boy?"

Aldo noticed that those men are still chasing him. Aldo sat on the back of Archie and went in a different direction to avoid them.

After escaping from them, Aldo took a break with transformed Archie, nearby the abandoned building.

"..."

Aldo's eyes met with a laser guns, he had already seen those men using these guns for hunting and infact boy always kept a laser handgun to hunt down ferocious animals. He knows well how to handle these weapons and so he took the gun for his self defence.

"..." The boy stared at Archie again.

Aldo had read a history book which taught him how Titans were very interested to devour humans. Infact, they were Eldians who were forced to transform into Titans by Marley people.

"..."

Just as similar as those Titans, boy had gained a new power to transform animals into something big monsters or something. He had also witnessed that these normal weapons won't work on these transformed animals and birds.

Then suddenly, the boy remembered few more informations of Titans he read about. Titans had powers to regenerate their body tissues or even their bones and they were physically much stronger than any mere human.

However, they had a weakness which was the their nape. The back part of their neck was their only weakness. So in other words...

Boy had realised that even if humans may successfully create a weapon that could hurt these transformed creatures, they can't beat them unless they find their weak points.

If these creatures do have a weak point as well, it must be the way to annihilate them.

"..." But for now, boy kept thinking to escape from here, somewhere far away from these men.
