Attack On Titan: Alternate

Chapter 22 - (22) Retreating back into the walls

After everyone had retreated from the Trost district, they were split into 2 and sent to the Ehrmich district while the other went towards the Stohess district. Aria walked over to the group of the cadets and was surprised how little peoples there were. Compared to the other group this was around half, apparently, the people in this group were the best out of all of them. Looking around, she eventually laid eyes on Annie who seemed very distracted.

On the way towards Annie she didn't notice Eren mixed in with the other group. Thinking back to it, before she was smashed into the house by a flying rock, she saw an elite group from the scouts come from the hole in the wall and attack the remaining Titans. 'They must be talking with him now then' She thought about it until she reached Annie.

Noticing someone walk up to her, Annie turned and saw Aria, her face lightened a little seeing her and said "Hey Aria" She didnt have any energy left to deal with this stuff so she gave a simple greeting. Aria nodded and waited next to her. 'Seems like she had a bad day too' The group waited until a captain lead them towards the Stohess district. Everyone in the group was silent during the way there, only the sounds of the cart wheels could be heard during the way back.

...

It was around 5pm when the group heading towards Stohess arrived at the gates. They were let through easily then sent towards the living quarters in the military police section. As the town was safely inside the walls, there was no need to set up a branch for the scouts so they had to live with the others.

After arranging living quarters, the captain in charge said to them "Until a new expedition has been agreed on, you will be working for the Military police until further notice!" Everyone who heard this didn't really have a problem with this and agreed without any resistance. Aria seemed a little down but was brought back up again because she could spend more leisure time with Annie.

After they were assigned dorms, they didn't hesitate to get some rest. By now it had been set in stone that Annie and Aria would be together. Aria actually didn't know what was going on either, was it luck or coincidence?

It didn't take long for them to reach were they would be staying, along the way they had to pick up their new uniform for tomorrow. They arrived in their dorm and looked around, it was a small room enough to fit a large bunk bed, 2 part wardrobe and a small desk. "Seems spacious" Aria sarcastically said. Annie slightly laughed and fell onto the bed. She then sighed and looked at Aria.

Aria, seeing the gaze couldn't help herself, walked up to the bed and sat down next to the lying Annie. She let out a breath and looked down and Annie who was getting up, "Anything happened today?" Her face changed and looked helplessly at Aria. She stayed silent for a bit before looking up and jumping into her c.h.e.s.t.

Aria didn't suspect this and fell back. Annie hugged her tightly and said "I- I don't know what to do. I had to do it, he would of found out our secret." Breathing rapidly, Annie started to tear up. Seeing this unknown side of her, Aria hugged her back. "Calm down, tell me what happened" Stroking her back, Annie backed up and said "Marco overheard us talking about what to do if Eren blocked the hole up. Reiner saw this and held him down. He shouted towards me too take his gear off. Marco kept pleading and begging us to let him go, however, i had no choice so i took his gear of and threw it away. After, we just flew away leaving him" Annie burst out crying, Aria quickly hugged her and stroked her back.

hugging it out for the next half an hour, Annie finally calmed down and fell asleep in Aria's arms. She peacefully smiled and laid down next to her. She didn't fall asleep but checked out her rewards once again

"What kind of Description is that? Plus, why are there two of them?" She suddenly thought about something and smiled. After using one of the books, a sudden rush of information entered her mind. The way to use it was very similar to cultivation. Gathering elemental energy into a similar gland to her dantian. It was located next to the dantian but was a little smaller, all you had to do is meditate and gather the elemental particles to use it.

She slowly got up and sat in a lotus position and started to concentrate, after 1 hour of gathering energy, she slowly opened her eyes to a multitude of colourful particles flowing around her. Staring at them for a while she finally figured what they mean. Red ones mean Fire. Blue ones mean Water. Green means Air. Brown means Earth. White means Light. Black means dark. Grey means Space, Purple means Lightning and the last one was a weird one. Instead of a colour it was blending into the world, you could only see it because there was a little a bit of space around it which felt like time went slower. This was Time element.

She managed to manipulate all of them, which meant she could use all of the elements. After getting used to absorbing the elements she looked towards Annie and touched her temple. Lying back down, she then hugged Annie and fell asleep.
