A Month Later

Standing Before The Wall's Gate

In the Karanes District, an army of horses with their riders were waiting expectantly for the signal from their commander... Erwin himself. Commander Erwin was leading the mission himself as everything was staked on making this operation succeed. There was a secret plan to it that only him and a couple trusted members knew what the real motive was.

In the front of the group, Levi and her squad consisting of her, Oruo, Erd, Petra, Gunther, Eren and Clayde as they sat on their horses and were ready for whenever the signal goes off. Petra looked at Eren whow as dead set focused before turning her head and looking at Clayde who was examining his triggers for the ODM Gear.

"Clayde, you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"Yeah... I just feel familiarity with this thing but I can't tell where its coming from." Clayde replied as he tapped the trigger with his fingers.

"I heard you were quite a beast with the ODM Gear." Petra recalled Levi debriefing the squad before Clayde's arrival.

"I was?" Clayde asked.

"Yeah, you killed over 35 titans in the Battle of Trost before you revealed your other form and that makes you even more deadly." Petra pointed out.

"And I killed over 80 titans with that other form." Clayde said as he fondled the cord on his chest which made Petra tense up involuntarily.

Ever since that day Clayde attacked them, the entire squad didn't trust him at all. They forgave Eren because he was still learning how to control his transformation and did it on accident but Clayde transformed willingly and attacked them. Even though it was justified, it still caused a rift between them.

A horse trotted up to them and it carried Eren on its back as the cadet looked at his friend, "You alright, man?"

"Yeah... yeah, I'm good." Clayde said as he shook out of his mindset and focused as Petra looked ahead as the rest of Squad Levi was in front of them.

Ahead of the entire group, Commander Erwin looked up at the gatekeeper and nodded his head as the gate began to open steadily and as soon as it high enough to pass under, he raised his voice and shouted.

"FOR HUMANITY!!!" Erwin roared as the soldiers roared in agreement as he ushered his horse to go full speed ahead with everyone following behind him.

Clayde gripped the reins of his horse as he awed at the world outside the walls as there were so many trees in the vicinity and... that's it, just plain old trees.

"This is what's outside the walls? Pfft." Clayde spitted before laughing out madly as nearby soldiers looked at him like he was mad which he technically was.

"Oh just you wait, Clayde! There's more to this world than just trees... hopefully." Eren said as he wanted to keep him and Armin's secret about the outside world.

"Sure, that's the day I lose my virginity!" Clayde replied loudly with a madman smile before something out of the corner of his eyes caught his attention. Various groups of soldiers were splitting up and heading in different directions as they began spreading out.

"I guess the formation stage has begun." Eren yelled out as Clayde nodded. Before the expedition began, Levi informed them that the soldiers will be split into different groups to minimize the chance of titans taking them by surprise. The main objective was getting Clayde and Eren to Shiganshina in one piece, no matter what it takes.

"I bet the others are enjoying this lovely weather we're having!" Clayde shouted loudly in excitement.

Meanwhile at The Left Flank

"CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?!" Sasha yelled loudly as she forced her horse to run faster as a large titan crawling on all fours was chasing her with its mouth wide open as saliva flooded from its mouth. Timing it right, Sasha veered her horse to the left as the titan leapt forward and chomped as it missed its target.

Sasha would've gotten help but her fear caused her to drop the signal flare she had as she had to hope and pray that someone would come and kill this titan.

As if her prayers have been answered, the titan bellowed loudly behind her as it looked upwards and shook its head madly as it stopped moving. Curious, Sasha turned her head to look at the titan as her eyes widened in fear as the titan's face was rigid as the pupils in its eyes turned into a mesmorizing shade of yellow before the titan ran in a different direction.

Sasha's horse kept running as the rider was in complete shock at what just happened before something grabbed her shoulder as she screamed in reflex.

"Sasha, its me!" Mina yelled at her.

"Oh, sorry!"

"What happened?!"

"I don't know! There was a titan chasing me and then it stopped! Its eyes turned yellow and then it ran off in another direction!" Sasha told her as Mina's eyes widened.

"What direction?!"

"Northeast!"

"That's where Clayde's group is!" Mina yelled as she loaded a signal flare before firing it into the sky as left a trail of Black Smoke, the signal of an Abnormal Titan.

"Now, what?!" Sasha asked.

"We just hope someone can kill it!" Mina replied as she looked in the direction of Clayde's group and even though she couldn't see them, she knew where they would be.

"Be careful, Clayde." Mina said to herself in worry.

Squad Levi

The group kept going as a black signal flare was fired from their left as Oruo noticed it, "Abnormal Titan has been spotted!"

"Keep going! The back group will handle it!" Gunther shouted as they continued riding as Clayde frowned at the order... leave others to do the job?

"I guess that's smart but what if they can't handle it and they just chicken out like a bunch of pussies?" Clayde thought to himself as he nevertheless kept going.

The dust cloud their horses were kicking up was incredible as the force and power that fuels through these animals surpassed Clayde's expectations. They showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever until Clayde finds himself in a shit situation and that's when the equine is gonna fail him.

"Hey Eren, how do you think the rest of the gang is doing?!" Clayde shouted over the noise.

"I know for sure Mikasa can handle herself along with most of the others but I'm not sure about Armin. He's smart for sure but not much of a fighter." Eren replied honestly as Clayde shrugged.

"Well we all gotta learn somehow! This is gonna be a learning experience for him!" Clayde yelled out before he noticed a black signal flare to the right of them.

"Damn, there goes another one!" Clayde yelled as Eren looked to the right and noticed the flare but something was off about it.

"That one looks like its been in the sky for awhile." Eren noticed.

"Perhaps they shot it about a minute ago." Petra deduced before another black signal flare went up but something else was launched in the sky as the lifeless bodies of three cadets flew into the air.

"What in gods name?..." Erd said in horror as Levi saw the sight before she pressed on harder as her horse went faster as the others saw this and sped up.

"What kind of titan did that?" Eren asked in horror before one of the trees in the distance were uprooted and lifted up by something large. He strained his eyes to see but the distance was too great to see what exactly is doing it.

"Hey asshole, you're about to fall off!" Clayde yelled as he brought his horse in close and shoved Eren with his body as the titan shifter straightened himself and snapped out of his daze.

"Sorry about that!" Eren apologized.

"Just shut up and ride the damn horse!" Clayde yelled as Eren looked at him with a deadpanned expression.

"What?!"

"Don't ever... say that again in your life."

Meanwhile on The Right Flank

Five soldiers charged towards a new titan that appeared on the battlefield. This one was female because it had a feminine build to it as its blond hair whipped around in the breeze. Looking at the oncoming riders, the titan ripped a tree out of the ground and held it ready.

"Kill it!" One soldier said as he fired his ODM Gear and swung towards the female titan but she swung the tree straight into his body as blood bursted from his body as his eyes shot out of his head as the corpse went flying in the air.

Hearing the firing sound of ODM Gear, the titan raised her hand and caught the grapple hook before it hit her as she swung the screaming soldier wildly into the others who have yet to jump off their horses.

The wire was stiff as the titan swung at them as the metal cable sliced their heads clean off as the corpses fell off the horses. Doing this with astonishing accuracy, the female titan swung the screaming cadet in circles around her hand before releasing him as he went flying into the sky.

The female titan walked forward calmly before another black signal went off in the distance in front of her. Looking in front with determination, she began running as the ground shook beneath her weight. She needed to know where her target was and fast otherwise she would run out of time in this form.

After running for another two minutes, she came across a group of three who had their hoods up which meant she had no idea if they were her target or not.

Inside the female titan's nape, Annie glared at the scouts below before increasing her speed to catch up to them. One scout looked at her with fear as her foot came crashing down next to the horse which knocked the scout off of it completely.

Two other scouts fired their gears and tried to slash her but she kicked one of them away before grounding the other one with her fist as blood splattered the crater and her knuckles as she looked at the scout who was on the ground.

Being careful, she grabbed the hood and pulled it down to see that it was just Armin as he looked at her in fear and shock. Deciding to pity the useless boy, Annie put the hood back on him before standing up and continuing in the direction where she thinks her target his.

As Annie is running, her mind trailed back to the conversation she had with Reiner and Bertholdt before the expedition began.

Flashback

"How the hell is Clayde alive?!" Bertholdt yelled in shock.

"We saw him get eaten by a titan entirely, to the bitter end. How he survived shouldn't have even been possible and now he's back with an unknown power that allows him to kill over 80 titans with his bare hands." Annie said shakily.

"The only good part from this is that he lost his memories so he doesn't remember us and that means our cover is not blown just yet." Reiner said as he looked at Annie.

"Annie, your job will be to retrieve Eren. He has the power of the Attack Titan and the Founding Titan and we can't risk him using it at all." Reiner ordered as Annie looked at him.

"How the hell do I do that?! With Clayde around him, it'll be impossible." Annie said angrily.

"Between you and Eren, you have greater battle experience and you have hardening which puts you at a great advantage. If the battle comes down to you and Clayde, try not to kill him... his power could be useful or it could be a new kind of titan entirely."

"I don't know Reiner, I don't think Clayde is a titan at all as it might be something different and plus... we don't know what his other form even is." Bertholdt said nervously.

"Whatever it is, it can't be strong enough to break through Annie's hardening. Annie, just overwhelm him completely. You can call titans to come to your location and Clayde's power makes titans feral and want to kill him, use that to your advantage." Reiner said seriously.

"Fine but if this doesn't work... use your imagination." Annie said darkly before walking away from the conversation entirely.

Annie kept on running forward as her piercing blue eyes burned with determination and anger as the memory played in her head. The wind slammed into her face as her body burned with anger as she clenched her fists and continued running.

Feeling something attached to her back, she looked back to see Armin along with two other hooded individuals. Knowing that those are not Eren nor Clayde, Annie turned around and engage the first one who swung towards her.

Curling her fist, she swung at him but he dodged and manuevered to her nape as he tried to slash it but she hardened it instantly as she felt the scout's blades shatter on impact before backhanding the soldier.

Turning her attention to the second scout who jumped at her stupidly, she realized that this was Reiner and so she grabbed him instantly and began squeezing him. Annie wanted to crush him for putting her into this hellhole and not letting her go back to Marley so she could see her father at least one more time before she dies.

In her hand, she feels Reiner slicing into her palm before he sliced out of her hand entirely as fingers fell to the ground. Her hand was smoking but Annie saw that Reiner carved an arrow on her palm indicating which direction she had to run to. She had to go Southeast to reach her targets.

Immediately, Annie took off in that direction at full speed as she passed a little island of trees before noticing a group of scouts entering the woods and they were the only ones in this direction which meant...

Her targets were in sight.

With Squad Levi

Captain Levi led her team into the massive forest as she knew something that she hasn't told the rest of her team because she didn't know who the traitor was at all so she couldn't risk it at all.

Meanwhile, Eren was getting nervous as the image of those lifeless corpses flying through the air replayed on a loop. What titan could've done that? Did someone kill it hopefully?

"Eren, stop thinking so damn hard." Clayde said as he looked at him.

"Sorry its just the fact that those bodies were launched into the air... what kind of titan does that?" Eren asked.

"Don't know but its probably dead already." Clayde said dismissively before loud stomps were heard before a titan bursted from the trees behind them and gave chase but this one looked different because it had...

"BOOBS!!!" Clayde yelled loudly as he pointed to the massive humps.

"Clayde, you fucking idiot! Don't look back! Keep going!" Levi yelled at him angrily as the rest of the squad looked at the titan with shock and horror in their eyes.

Eren couldn't believe what he was seeing as he saw that the titan grinned when it laid its eyes on him which made him look forward and kicked his horse to go faster.

"Do y'all want me to kill it?!" Clayde asked loudly.

"No!!! You promised to not transform unless you had explicit permission!" Gunther yelled as Clayde glared at him.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Eren raising his hand to his mouth to bite it but Petra yelled out.

"Eren, no! You also promised! Trust us, please!" Petra cried out.

"Trust you to do what?! We don't even know the fucking plan and you want me to trust you?! What's stopping me from transforming and killing this bitch?!" Clayde yelled angrily.

"Nothing."

"What?!"

"Nothing is stopping the both of you at all... its all about if you think its right option. I don't know if the option I choose is correct or not but I go for it. So what's it gonna be Clayde? Eren? Trust us or transform?" Levi said in a deadly calm tone.

Eren and Clayde looked at each other as they both looked at the female titan that was chasing them and getting a bit closer with every couple of steps.

"I mean if I transform, I could kill it but there's also gotta be an alternate reason as to why we haven't killed this thing yet unless.... The idea is to capture it?" Clayde thought before Levi's angry voice startled him.

"PICK YOUR CHOICE, GODDAMN IT!!!" Levi yelled.

"I'LL TRUST YOU GUYS! / ALRIGHT, I'LL FUCKING TRUST Y'ALL SO STOP FUCKING YELLING!!!" Eren and Clayde yelled with the both of them saying two different things but agreed on the same thing... they were trusting these guys.

The rest of Squad Levi sighed in relief at their choice but also was worried about the titan that was catching up to them before Levi pulled out a signal gun.

"Cover your ears!" She yelled before firing an Acoustic Shell as it pierced the air and gave off a sharp and high pitched sound that echoed throughout the forest as Clayde covered his ears but he could still hear the reverberations of it.

As soon as Levi fired the signal, the group rode past a clearing in the forest as Clayde and Eren noticed there were scouts in the trees and large devices with dozens of holes in them were mounted as they both thought the same thing.

"Ambush!"

Annie was so close to reaching her targets as she bent down to grab them before the area suddenly got a bit clear as her eyes widened when she saw scouts in the trees and Erwin shouted.

"NOW!!!"

Immediately, Annie covered her nape with both hands as the strange machines fired dozens of grappling hooks as they pierced her all over her body as she could feel them digging into her flesh as there were about six machines and shot so many grappling hooks that her entire body was gleaming silver from the metal wires.

Some hooks embedded themselves on her face and on her eyelids as Annie had to play this smart.

"Shit, I didn't see this coming." She cursed as she felt her body run stiff and she couldn't move an inch at all.

Commander Erwin stood on a tree branch as he watched the female titan struggle to no avail as he looked at Hange, "Will the hooks hold her?"

"Oh yes, they will!" Hange said excitingly, "They were built exhort and sustain heavy damage along with preventing the target from escaping. I even took into account of its healing powers, the more it tries to heal, the deeper the hook goes into its flesh!"

"Good because now we're going to find out who's in there... Captain Levi, if you may?" Erwin requested as Levi nodded and swung towards the titan's hands that were covering its nape as she took out her blades and prepared to slice them off.

Annie noticed this and hardened her fingers at the last second as she felt the blades shatter against it as Levi cursed loudly.

"This thing can still harden its body." Levi mumbled as she looked at Erwin who witnessed the event unfold.

"Prepare the explosives, we're blowing up her arms and hands." Erwin ordered as soldiers nodded and began getting the barrels of explosives they had ready as Levi landed on the titan's head.

"You know I don't take pride to killing human life but for you, I'll make an exception. Whoever you are in there, you don't give a rat's ass about who you kill. I know you can hear me in there so let me make this simple, if those explosives don't force you to come out of there... I will personally cut that nape open and drag your ass out here myself." Levi said darkly as she stomped on its head.

Annie gritted her teeth as she tried to force her way out of this but the hooks prevented her from doing that so she was left with one option... to call for help.

Opening her mouth, the female titan let out a deafening scream as it echoed throughout the forest and forced the scouts to cover their ears to avoid going deaf entirely as leaves fell from teh trees before the screaming stopped.

Levi uncovered her ears as she looked down at the Female Titan's in confusion before distant rumblings were heard as she peered into the dense undergrowth of the forest as distant figures were running towards in wild styles.

"Titans! From all angles!" A scout shouted in horror as Erwin widened his eyes before making his decision.

"Protect the Female Titan! Do not let those titans get to her, no matter the cost!" Erwin commanded as a couple of scouts looked at him like he was mad.

"You heard the Commander! Here they come!" Levi yelled as her hair whipped behind her as she jumped off the Female Titan's head as she launched herself at the oncoming titans' mouths as their wails and roars filled the forest.

Unbeknownst to them, a figure was watching them from the distance as it grinned darkly to reveal bloodstained teeth and the remnants of a scout's cloak stuck inbetween its teeth.

Meanwhile

Now, the rest of Levi's squad had to ditch the horses and now all of them were swinging through the forest as the wails of titans echoed all around them.

"Are they surrounding us?!" Eren asked loudly.

"No, they are engaging with the Scouts right now! This is as good as any time to get you and Clayde the hell out of here!" Gunther yelled loudly.

"Stop fucking yelling!" Clayde roared out as Petra looked at him.

"You stop yelling then." Petra replied as he went to retort before thinking about it and huffed in response.

"Guys, was the entire plan the whole time was to capture that Female Titan?" Eren asked.

"As far as I know, I didn't even know this plan existed... does the Captain not trust us?" Eld stated as it got the rest of them thinking but Gunther snorted.

"Oh please! Stop acting like bitches, of course the Captain trusts us!" He retorted angrily at the stupidity of the question.

"But why wouldn't she tell us about this plan specifically?" Eld continued to press on.

"Because she wants to... keep it a secret?" Oruo replied with uncertainty in his voice as Clayde rolled his eyes.

"She doesn't trust you dumbasses." Clayde retorted.

"Captain Levi trusts us! She just doesn't trust you and so do we!" Oruo yelled as Clayde looked at the faces of the rest of the scouts and they looked away from him out of guilt as the scout narrowed his eyes.

"So that's how it is." Clayde thought to himself.

"So do you think they captured the Female Titan?" Eren asked.

"Based on the wails and roars of other titans, its highly likely they succeeded and it just called for backup." Eld replied.

"Are you sure? It sounded like a lot of titans." Petra said worriedly.

"Obviously but there's no way that the Female Titan escaped." Oruo replied before the sounds of ODM Gear came from the left of the group as they saw a hooded scout swinging beside them as Erd looked at the figure in confusion before he yelled out.

"Who are you?! Identify yourself!!!" Eld shouted with authority as the figure made no reply but they swung fast before zipping towards Eld and sliced his chest open before anyone could react as the figure retreated behind them.

"ELD!!!" Petra cried out as Clayde watched his comrade's body fall to the ground in a bloody fashion.

"Wait... don't tell me that's the fe-!" Gunther yelled out in horror before a flash of lightning behind them confirmed his fears as the Female Titan appeared in place of the unknown scout as the titan began chasing them.

"Shit!" Eren yelled as he looked at the titan in horror.

"Start swinging goddamn it!" Oruo yelled as the group zipped ahead as the titaness gained on them.

"You're not going anywhere!" Annie thought angrily as she chased after them with her blue eyes narrowing in determination to reach her targets.

Eren heard the titan get closer and was gaining on them as her stomps were getting louder and louder by the second. He had no choice and he had to something about this as he raised his hand to his mouth and prepared to bite it but Petra screamed at him.

"Eren, don't! You and Clayde need to get out of here! We'll handle this!" Petra yelled at him.

"Bu-!" Eren tried to disagree with them but Oruo shouted at him.

"What?! You don't trust us?! You don't think we can handle this?!" Oruo yelled.

"Eren, you need to safety! They don't call us the Elite Squad for nothing! We'll kill the Female Titan!" Gunther supported his teammates as Eren looked at Petra before glancing at her hand to see the bite mark from a month ago.

It was when the team apologized to him.

"Can they actually kill this thing? What should I do? What would Clayde do.... Wait, what is Clayde doing?!" Eren thought as he looked at his friend and his eyes widened in shock.

Clayde was swinging forward while facing the Female Titan as he narrowed his eyes at the titan and had his middle finger looped through the cord in his chest as he prepared to pull it.

"Clayde, no! Let us handle it!" Petra cried out.

"Trust us, goddamn it!!!" Oruo yelled in anger.

"Fuck no." Clayde replied as he shocked all of them, "None of you trust me so why should I trust you? I may not remember everything about myself but I remember one thing about myself... I'm not a pushover."

"What the hell are you talking about?! I command you to retreat with Eren, right now!" Oruo yelled in anger.

"Fuck your orders, I'm tearing this bitch to shreds!!!" Clayde yelled insanely before changing his direction and swung towards the Female Titan as he pulled the cord and a engine noise was heard.

His eyes closed and a huge madman smile appeared on his face as the chainsaw erupted from his skull and his chainsaws bursted from his forearms as his orange plating enveloped his face as he roared loudly as he fell towards the Female Titan.

Annie saw this before she skidded to a stop but used her remaining momentum in her right leg as she swung it with everything she had as it whished through the air. Just before it slammed into Clayde's falling body, the monster spun in the air as he sliced half of Annie's foot off before landing on the ground.

Roaring, Clayde charged forward and jumped at Annie's face as he slashed his chainsaws at her. Raising her arms to block, she hardened her forearms as the blades slammed into them and she felt it crack her hardening a bit as she narrowed her eyes before punching Clayde into the ground.

"What the hell is he?! He isn't even a titan!" Annie said in disbelief as she lifted her fist out and widened her eyes when Clayde wasn't even there.

She looked around for him but then a sudden noise caught her attention as she looked behind her and saw that a chainsaw erupted from the ground as Clayde climbed out.

"What a fucking punch, hardly felt a thing!" Clayde yelled insanely as he roared at her before charging again as Annie charged as well as she went for low kick sweep but Clayde jumped up and slammed his foot straight into her face which sent her body airborne a bit before slamming into a tree.

"That kick was stronger than anything I've ever felt!" Annie said as she moved her slightly sore jaw as she stood up and looked at the small Clayde. This insignificant little thing was somehow a problem to her and if it was than... Clayde was standing in her way of seeing her father again in Marley.

"I'm not fucking around this time... I will see my father again... I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Annie yelled angrily as she hardened her knuckles, knees, feet, forearms and shins as she got into her signature combat stance and glared at her opponent.

Seeing this, Clayde exhaled slightly as his teeth glistened in the sunlight as his chainsaws sped up a bit.

BROOM....BROOM BROOM....BROOM BROOM BROOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

"BRING IT ON!!!!" Clayde yelled psychotically as he charged forward along with Annie as they clashed with pure bloodlust.

In the distance, Eren saw this and growled at the Female Titan as the lives of those scouts flashed in his mind and Clayde's words from the past echoed through him.

"If you had the chance to make a difference, would you take it? Or did it already present itself to you and you missed it?"

"I won't miss this chance... NOT THIS TIME!!!" Eren yelled angrily as he reversed and swung towards Clayde and the Female Titan as Squad Levi looked at him.

"Eren, don't do it!" Oruo shouted.

"This is insubordination! Levi will have your heads!" Gunther bellowed angrily.

"Eren, just get out of here!" Petra yelled as the scout continued going in the opposite direction of them.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH ME KILL THIS BITCH!!!" Eren shouted angrily as he flipped through the air and bit his hand hard as blood splurted and a bolt of lightning erupted from the sky and hit him as the skeletal bones and structure of his titan surrounded him immediately as his titan formed entirely as he landed on the ground and roared in anger as he began running towards the Female Titan.

https://youtu.be/BPohSG4ZNes

Annie heard the roar and immediately knew what it meant and who it came from exactly and both answers were something she didn't need right now, Eren joined the fight.

Clayde jumped and slashed at Annie's face but she dodged the attack entirely before slamming her fist straight into his body which sent him straight three thick trees as Clayde slammed into the ground.

Turning around, Annie blocked a punch from Eren's titan before slamming her hardened fist straight into his stomach which made his eyes bug out at sheer force of the impact. The blow knocked Eren onto his back as he shook it off immediately but his stomach felt sore now.

"DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME ALREADY?!" Clayde roared around psychotically as Annie looked to see Clayde running towards her at high speeds.

Annie slammed both her fists down into the ground which created a shockwave and destroyed the ground entirely but Clayde jumped and kicked off of her knee and with surprising speed, he delivered a deep gash to Annie shoulder.

The titan shifter gritted her teeth as her right arm went limp entirely before hearing the whoosh of air behind her and ducked to avoid a punch from Eren's titan. Eren roared as he began throwing punches at Annie as she kept dodging them.

"She's fast! Even with one arm!" Eren said angrily before throwing a low punch at the Female Titan who dodged but he used his momentum and drove that same fist upward and uppercutted her straight in the chin as she slammed into a tree.

Getting up, Annie's eyes widened before raising her hardened forearm to block a slash from Clayde but this one felt harder than before and took fragments of hardening with it. Clayde roared and slashed down on her head but Annie grabbed him with her free arm and threw him straight into Eren's titan who caught him and stopped his charge.

"Good catch!" Clayde thanked as he faced the Female Titan in Eren's palm but all he heard was growling as he looked up to see Eren's titan growling at him angrily before lunging forward with his mouth open.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Clayde roared out in surprise before jumping backwards and slamming his fist straight into Eren's head as he went careening to the right and spun in a couple of circles before flopping to the ground.

Annie's eyes widened as she saw this but she too felt an unusual feeling of bloodlust coming from the depths of her mind when she looks at Clayde.

"He must be eliminated, he must die. He stands in our way and destroys all known natural order." Her conscious whispers to her.

"I don't know how you survived that titan nor how you can transform into that thing but I won't let you stand in my way! You will die! I don't care if I have orders to bring you alive!" Annie yelled in her titan nape before getting up immediately and diverted all her healing to her shoulder as it healed instantaneously.

Clayde turned to see a hardened fist coming straight towards him as he lunges to the side to dodge before looking up to see the titan slamming the heel of her foot down onto him as the ground collapsed around him as the impact broke a couple of bones within him.

Annie wasn't done before she began slamming her foot into the same spot over and over again as the crater got deeper and deeper as each hit was more powerful than before. Having hardened her heel, she slammed it down onto Clayde's body with no regrets whatsoever.

As she did this, she didn't realized that there was a third fighter until a powerful punch to the face forced her to stop as she looked and saw that Eren was now engaging her. Before she could retaliate, Eren slammed his fist straight in her stomach which made her spit fly out of her mouth.

"I WON'T LET YOU KILL MY FRIEND!!!" Eren roared before uppercutting the Female Titan as she went flying into a tree as he charged and jumped towards her as he prepared to slam his fist down.

Annie saw this hit coming straight towards her face as she tilted her head aside as the fist slammed beside her. The force was so powerful that Eren's arm muscle bursted and the arm was busted as he roared in frustration. Immediately, Annie grabbed Eren's throat and kicked his legs out from under him as he was held in Annie's grasp.

Using her strength, she lifted him over her head and slammed him on the ground before throwing him into a tree.

"Fuck!" Eren cursed out as he looked at the Female Titan approaching him.

Annie calmly walked towards Eren to finish this as the Attack Titan struggled to get up with one arm as she readied her left foot and prepared to decapitate him but familiar sound pierced the air.

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

Annie's eyes widened and before she could react, Clayde shot past her and sliced her stomach open cleanly as guts splurted out and blood showered everywhere as his chainsaws revved loudly.

"It's gonna take a lot more than a tantrum to kill me!" Clayde yelled out insanely as he landed on the ground. His uniform was torn up as some of his fingers were bent out of place and some of his ribs protruded out of his stomach. Clayde felt the pain but ignored it as he looked at the now stumbling Female Titan as she clutched her now open stomach.

Eren got back up and faced the Female Titan as he clenched his other fist as he waited for his other arm to regenerate. Clayde revved his chainsaws as he prepared to finish this fight once and for all.

"Let's do thi- GAAAUUGH!!!" Clayde yelled in pain as something chomped down on his left arm and blood splurted out of the wound as his chainsaws retracted and he looked behind him and saw something so gross that he questioned his sanity.

"What the fuck?" Clayde murmured.

Eren looked at this thing with sheer horror and disgust in his eyes as Annie looked to the right and saw what they were all looking at.

From the ground, a giant purple monster emerged and had strange thick tentacles as they each had mouths on it. The thing stood on four legs and had black womanly hair on its head as it stomach had dangling udders. In its entirety, this thing was as half the size of both titans but was massive in terms of girth.

"Ooooh~ This tastes familiar~" The creature spoke in a nasty female voice.

"This fucking thing can talk?!" Clayde yelled in disbelief.

"This 'fucking thing' is the Leech Devil! I am here because I caught onto the scent of the Chainsaw Devil and now that I have tasted you... you are his host!" The Leech Devil spoke as she lowered her head and looked at Clayde more closely.

"My, you are quite handsome~ Tell you what, I will spare your life if you give me the heart of the Chainsaw Devil." The Leech Devil proposed.

"You... can talk." Clayde muttered in disbelief.

"I see that devils don't reside in this part of the world." The Leech Devil noted before looking at the two titan shifters with distaste, "Only these giants that call themselves spawns of God but are nothing more than false advertisement."

Eren didn't know whether to kill this thing or let it keep talking as he saw that that... leech devil bit Clayde's chainsaw arm off like it was nothing. Annie, on the other hand, was shocked at what she was hearing that this thing called itself and Clayde devils... was that what they really are?

"I don't have much time and considering that this is a serious matter to me, I don't have time for idle chit chat with a handsome devil like you." The Leech Devil said as one of her tentacle mouths were soaked with Clayde's blood.

"Uhh..." Clayde drawled out.

"So what's it gonna be, Chainsaw? Death or Life? Surely the choice was chosen for you by that damned dog but now you can make your own choice... what will it be this time?" The Leech Devil asked as she brought her head right in front of Clayde's body.

"Damned... dog?" Clayde muttered out with rage.

"Yes." She replied without a care in the world before Clayde swung his fist straight in her jaw as it knocked out a couple of teeth as she spat out blood and turned towards him in rage.

"How dare you?!" She roared but Clayde was already running to her right which confused her before she looked and saw that the blood she spat out was intercepting with him and before she could react, Clayde jumped and the blood splattered onto his entire body as some entered his mouth and he swallowed it.

"You'll regret insulting Pochita!" Clayde roared before pulling the cord as his chainsaws bursted out of him and he roared.

"You call that a roar? Let me show you a roar." The Leech Devil said before hollering into the sky as it echoed throughout the forest as the scouts wondered what kind of titan made that noise as Eren and Annie covered their ears.

After eight seconds, she stopped as Clayde looked at her and revved his chainsaws.

"Are you done yet?!" Clayde yelled in boredom.

"Oh not yet, this fight is just getting started~" She said before distant rumblings were heard as Eren, Annie and Clayde froze before looking all around them as Titans were running towards them wildly.

"Titans don't like devils for some reason and those titan shifters won't stand a chance against us. You want a fight? You'll get a fight... if you're still standing when this is all over!" The Leech Devil said psychotically.

"Wait.. titan shifters and us.... Why are those words going together?" Clayde asked in confusion before he looked and saw that both titans were now standing side by side and glowering at the both of them.

"Why won't my titan move?!" Eren yelled out in frustration as he tried to take control his form but it wasn't responding.

"Goddamn it!" Annie said as she was getting the same results as her titan hardened its sliced stomach and took control of its body, entirely independent from the host.

"Not even they can resist killing a devil, this is how its gonna go down Chainsaw... LAST DEVIL STANDING WINS!!!" The Leech Devil yelled.

At that moment, all hell broke loose as the titan shifters charged him, the wild titans converged upon him and the Leech Devil shot two tentacles at him but in the midst of all this... he smiled bloodily.

"What a time to be alive!!!" Clayde roared out with a bloodied smile as he revved his chainsaws for the slaughter to come.
