Attack On Titan 2: New Era

The unknown group of people arrived at the same cave they visited last time to collect materials for creating weapons. It seems that these people know about Paradis Island more than any one.

Normally people avoid coming here even though they can get useful and strong resources for weapons or to create other things, it is, of course, international law across the world to not come at Paradis Island.

However, almost most of the useful and rare materials were extracted from this island. There are few hidden locations that very few knew even among those who lived at this Island. This group of unknown people seems to know about the hidden places like this cave.

"By the way, how did you got your hands on those ODM gears?"

"These old ODM gears, I found them randomly somewhere. It was a pure luck otherwise we would have been dinner for those transformed bats last week."

"Anyway, let's start to collect materials yet again."

"Hey, what about the investigations?"

"Yeah about that. It's been one week since we fought those creatures and saw dead bodies of bats at cave as well. It seems the group is divided into two."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. The second group is still investigating."

"I see... Well, let's get to the work now."

"Alright."

—Paradis Island, At hideout place—

"Yosh! Now let's help Archie, shall we?" said Kaiser.

The boy responded with yes.

"..."

Aldo brought out his well-made blade which is light in weight yet sharp enough to cut through most hardened objects, thanks to the materials they had collected from the cave.

Aldo, then, sat atop the Cerberus as he carefully sliced off the nearest part of the nape in circular. He made sure not to hurt Archie so he avoided the nape's centre.

After doing this, Aldo could see Archie attached to the Cerberus's body.

Kaiser and Also both had helped Archie come out safely from the modified body.

"So animals do remain inside the nape, huh? Unlike pure Titans who existed a long time ago, animals can be saved this way." said Kaiser.

"..."

Aldo took care of Archie and let it rest for a while.

"By the way Aldo... What really had happened to you back then, I am sure I broke your legs and yet they were healed."

Aldo seemed to be speechless as he wondered himself how did his wounds and bones were healed.

"Seems like you are also clueless kid. Perhaps, since you got a similar power to Ymir the first person with Titan strength, you may have the similar ability to heal over time."

Aldo remembered that the history books mentioned something about that, even other people with Titan strength were able to heal quickly just as pure Titans.

"Perhaps you could also heal just as Titans who are mentioned in the books." said Kaiser, realising the same thing as Aldo.

"..."

"Huh? What's that sound-"

Kaiser, with his quick reflex, evaded the incoming laser bullets as he also saved Aldo from being hit by it.

"What the hell!? Who's there!? Show up!" shouted Kaiser.

"Well well, you do have quite the skill to evade it." The group member spoke to Kaiser.

"What do you want? Why did you attacked us?" asked Kaiser.

Kaiser soon realised that he is being surrounded by the group of strange people.

"What the-"

"Look at that guys, they do have weapons which is developed by some fine materials." said another person of the group, interrupting Kaiser's sentence.

"Tch! You all piss me off! I said what do you want assholes!" exclaimed Kaiser.

"Isn't it obvious? We want to know how you guys were able to transform those bats into something ferocious flying beasts or monsters?" asked one of the group member.

'Shit, seems like they noticed something' this is what Kaiser thought as he glared at the group.

"What are you saying? We don't know anything." said Kaiser, trying to defend.

"Oh really? What about those weapons then? You surely made them realising something is happening here, isn't it?" asked the man, pointing out his finger to the weapons made by Aldo and Kaiser.

"Ah yeah yeah, they are of course not what you think it is. I mean, we made it but we just experimented our fine refined skills. Nothing more!"

"Hm strange, why do you guys are even here? Isn't it against the international law implemented across the world to not enter Paradise Island?"

"You are also same, you are here as well so-"

"Yeah, we are also doing something that breaks the laws but the fact you guys are here and those strange creatures... It seems something is off."

'Fuck now what!?' thought Kaiser.

"..."

Another group member noticed the boy and said.

"Hey guys look, there's a kid as well."

"A kid? Hm?"

Suddenly a burst of laughter came out of the group

"Hahahaha! Hilarious dude! Haha. Don't tell me you are babysitting this kid! Hahaha."

"Man hahah I can't stop laughing hahah."

Kaiser, upon watching this reaction, looked for opportunities to escape.

"Anyway, so what are you both hiding. Just reveal it or else you and that child will suffer."

"Don't include the kid!" exclaimed Kaiser.

"Oh? Is that so?" Unfortunately, you will have to tell us everything you guys are hiding. We know you are involved in it somehow." replied group member.

Some of the men grabbed Aldo's arms from the behind.

"!!!"

"Aldo! Hey you! Leave him alone! Don't involve him!" exclaimed Kaiser.

"Sorry but you left us with no choice but choose violence. If you tell us everything then we will not harm that kid."

"Who the hell do you think you are huh?"

"Well it's not necessary but I can atleast tell my name. My name is Kale. I am currently leading this group to investigate strange things happening on this island."

"Of course, our original plan was to collect materials from here but we made secondary objectives to investigate since we noticed those strange creatures around here..." continued Kale.

"Tch, you like to play dirty huh?" said Kaiser in frustration.

"Tell us everything or else that kid's head will be blown by the gun pointed at him." said Kale, who seems to be giving a last warning.

"Damn it!"
