NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: Outsiders
"Hah! There whole shit of a body are completely annihilated! Amazing job, kid!"
Aldo asked whether Kaiser is hurt anywhere else.
"Nah, I am fine and besides I would have to Avoid more damages since I am already that much hurt, losing my arm in the process. But it's fine. Don't worry."
After resting for a while, both Aldo and Kaiser began moving to collect enough materials for creating the weapons.
Aldo wants to help Archie come out of the Cerberus looking body and he needs the weapon to penetrate through these creatures.
If these creatures are similar to titans, then surely the similar or same materials would be used to create such weapons that normally worked on Titans before.
That is why Aldo is planning to make those weapons using the materials that were used long time ago against titans- 2000 years ago.
The powers, tree, and the creature are similar to what Ymir found 4000 years ago after all.

—Somewhere at Paradis Island—
A group of people are looking at the dead creatures with cold hearted eyes.
"Do you think these creatures are...."
"There is no doubt about it...."
"So that means..."
"For now, we should all investigate this and collect all the necessary informations regarding these creatures or whatever is behind these."
"....Well, it seems like we might get a hope if what I am imagining is correct. For that, we really need enough informations."
"Either way, the plan would still remain as it is."
"Indeed, that is right."
"Seems like the body of these creatures are disappearing along except for their original form or the body. These are mere bats who turned into something ferocious huh?"
----
"Hm, seems like we got all the necessary materials huh?" said Kaiser, confirming the materials.
Aldo nodded in response.
"Alright then, let's go back to the hideout. Despite its almost destroyed but there is still a safe place to create weapons as we can take a break. I hope that shelter isn't wrecked yet."
The boy agreed to go along with him to the hideout place in order to make some weapons.
----
"We are finally here now. Let's go inside." said Kaiser.
They arrived at the hideout and went inside the factory where weapons were made by Kaiser's group and children who worked under them...
"I feel bad for what I had done before but now I can't do anything about those innocent children now." Kaiser felt sad, reflecting on his past deeds
Aldo changed the topic and asked Kaiser to bring out the materials. Both of them put all materials together and started make weapons. Kaiser, even though his one arm ripped apart, is helping the kid creating the weapons a little bit.
----
—Meanwhile at the cave, where Aldo and Kaiser collected the materials earlier—
The same unknown group of people arrived at this location as they all began to discuss...
"There are few bloods scattered on the ground and little bit burnt marks here and there. But no body is found except for one or two bats who weren't burned to ashes."
"Still they are dead..."
"Furthermore, they know of this place. What do you think why they came here?"
"Probably to collect materials here, I wonder if they are planning to make weapons."
"If that's true, these creatures surely are similar to titans. Their weakness as nape, collecting materials from here, and disappeared bodies. These are all signs of a titan power. But these creatures aren't titans but instead monster looking ones."
"Yeah their size isn't huge compared to titans."
"It's now confirmed that the power of titans aren't vanished at all but remains in this world."
"But to think it would work on animals, huh?"
"Yeah, they aren't like Titans either, from their looks. But they have similar capabilities and weaknesses like Titans."
"It seems like a similar power is involved behind this, similar power that Ymir had gotten 4000 years ago...."
"Do you think that this power might have evolved now? Like modified version of the original version?"
"That might be possible. But they even know about this cave and that means there are other places they might know about, to make weapons."
"It's good to have ODM gear or we would have been killed by these Transformed bats earlier."
"I wonder who are these lucky people, still surviving at this Island. Perhaps, one of them do hold that power."
"Perhaps, we should look for this and if it becomes our advantage then it might be a little bit easier to move along with plan..."
"Yes, but remember that our plan or the goal is ultimate and should not be interrupted even by the power of titans or whatever modified powers."
"Yeah, I agree but it seems like we got a new hope at the same time huh?"
"Perhaps yes."
----
"Hell yeah! We made this last weapon as well!" exclaimed Kaiser, looking happy.
One week has passed since the day when Aldo had saved Kaiser at the hideout and collected materials for weapons.
Kaiser looks happy since the powerful weapons are made.
Aldo made sure to create many spare weapons in case of emergency. Since Aldo isn't aware of the information of his new found powers, he made sure to make weapons just in case.
Aldo is cautious that if he accidentally make an animal into a creature and that creature doesn't follow his command, instead if it try to attack then he can use these weapons in emergency.
Aldo doesn't seem to control his power very much. Because whenever he sees directly into the eyes of any animal, they become creatures even though he had never wished or tried to make them into monsters or something.
He experimented so many times, in this one week, but failed to control his powers eventually.
The boy doesn't even believe that red-glowing-tentacle insect like creature who appeared inside the strange tree saying it would provide with powers.
Why does this creature grant such power to a mere kid? Who is this strange creature? What is really happening? Such type of countless questions occurred to Aldo as well. However he gave up on it temporarily since there is no clue about the power or creatures.
