Attack On Titan 2: New Era

After thinking for a while, boy had finally decided to make a weapon that might deal some damage. He wants to know whether the nape of these creatures are their weak point or not.

He wants to confirm whether these powers really do have similar power just as the Founding Titan. Though he had never imagined of such kind of powers which looks similar but not same as the Founding Titans strength. As well as those creatures who didn't looked like Titans at all but monsters instead who had the similar shape of their original forms (animal like Archie or bats who were transformed)

Aldo managed to find an abandoned factory which looked safe to stay. He also realised that as long as Archie, in his cerberus form, is patrolling the boy can sleep peacefully. He wants to wait for the next morning in order to look for materials needed for creating and hardening the weapons that could be effective against these creatures.

Aldo had already used a sharp axe on cerberus to test but the axe didn't even scratch cerberus and it broke instead.

Aldo had many doubts and questions but he knew that it's useless thinking about them since no answer would be revealed right now.

He had also thought that if the powers he got is similar as Founding Titan, then the creature's nape might be the weak point as well as Archie may be hidden inside of the nape. Since they are animals, they might not realise soon that can come out of their monster like forms.

"..."

Boy was thinking whether those transformed bats killed other people who were chasing him back then.

—Next Morning—

Aldo slept peacefully last night after he had had done thinking about creatures and other stuff.

It seemed like that no one came around the abandoned factory last night. Archie seemed to be sleeping and just woke up as well. Aldo was quite surprised that Archie slept as well and didn't listened to his orders to keep watch.

He thought that Archie may have been tired but Archie is energetic one who doesn't really sleep much and seems to be always playful, especially at night. Archie never slept if it was ordered to keep watch.

Then, boy realised one more fact about the titans. Most of the titans were inactive at night mostly due to lack of enough sunlight. No matter for how long they endured, eventually Titans grew weaker and became unconscious at night.

Aldo thought that perhaps, since Archie is energetic one it was able to endure fatigue or something like that for a while last night.

He came to realise that if this fact is true, then the transformation of a particular animal might depend on their physical and mental conditions. That is why Archie's transformation did endured for a while since he is energetic one and when he became incapable to continue, he slept or basically became inactive.

After preparations, the boy took the laser gun in hand and sets out to search for the necessary materials to create weapons.

Aldo, when was working as slave for those men, was taught so many things including the creation of weapons. He was forced to make weapons and who knew that his previous learned skills would come in handy this time.

Boy wants to help Archie come out of his transformed body. Although this kid tried so many times last night to make Archie realise that he could come out if it wants but unfortunately Archie didn't seemed to get it.

Perhaps, by helping Archie get out of the transformed body then Archie would eventually get the idea on how it can easily detach itself from the cerberus's body.

"..."

The materials this boy is searching for, are mostly found on Paradis Island.

The boy ventured through the forest and went back to the hideout, not afraid of those men anymore because he has cerberus. He wanted to get the pickaxe to mine the necessary ore to make weapons and other stuff which are useful for the creation.

Along the way, he witnessed many corpses of those men who chased Aldo last night. It seems like they were killed by those transformed bats.

Aldo didn't seemed to find any of the those creatures though, perhaps these creatures, after killing these men, already scattered around the area.

When the boy reached his destination, he witnessed two men. One of them seemed to be dead. The dead body belonged to Jack. The other one is badly injured and have no strength left to even stand up. This injured person is none other than Kaiser himself.

"..."

"Heh, you came back huh? So, you wanna finish me off? Well, here is your chance for revenge boy." said Kaiser.

"..."

The cerberus began to move but suddenly Aldo stopped it from moving forward by putting up his right hand in front of it.

The cerberus stopped and obeyed his command.

"W-Wha-" Kaiser looked surprised by the response of this boy.

"..."

"Why? Why do you spare me? Haven't I done many wrong things to you? Even breaking your legs las- wait! How is your leg healed!?"

"..." The boy just realised himself that he could move with ease.

"Whatever happened to you, why do you spare me even after what I had done to you before?" The man asked, nevertheless.

"Don't tell me, you pity me?"

The boy shook his head, refusing that he doesn't show any pity on him.

"I see... From the looks of your eyes, it does seem like you doesn't intend to harm me or hold any grudge. Am I right?"

The boy nodded in response, agreeing on what he said.

"Tch, talk about kindness huh?"

"..."

The boy wrote something on the paper and shows it to cerberus (Archie). Then cerberus immediately ran off somewhere else as the boy sat besides the man.

"Huh? What did you showed to that creature who obey you very much?"

The boy showed the page to Kaiser.

"I see, the necessary materials to create weapons and some first aid box. Also few more items that are normally necessary to heal deep injuries"

The man looked at the boy with quite a shocked face and spoke once again.

"Are you really sane!? This is what we taught you before to make items used to heal deep injuries but does that mean you really intend to help me despite what I did!?"

Aldo, once again, nodded in response.

"Why?.... I..."
