(A/n : In the previous chapter of Humanity's Strongest Ally)

Annie's POV

I had seen that Reiner was the only one standing despite the fact that he was still shaking and run one final time against him, but this time we both understood that we weren't a match for him. The armored chest of Reiner's Titan was pierced all the way through with a massive blade. This blade was the reason why this Titan is called the Excalibur. The crystallized Excalibur itself.

(A/n : Play the music on top)

Reiner's POV

Me : ' * in his mind * What kind of Titan is this!? He's way stronger than originally expected. We will have to do a tactical retreat since it seems that retrieving the founding and attack titans won't be that much of a cake walk if we have to deal with this kind of a powerhouse that makes me to doubt that Berthold's Colossal explosion would manage to crack him open. ', I thought to myself trying to pry his sword off of my Titan body's guts, but it wasn't possible as the Excalibur's hands were holding firmly on it, making it almost impossible to pull it off.

Me :' * In his mind * Come on move already!!! Hold on, what's going on!?', I thought to myself seeing that I couldn't feel my Titan's fingers. Looking down at them I saw that they were melted because of the fact that they were in contact with his blade.

Raphael's POV

I was smirking slightly beneath the mouth plate of my Titan seeing that the Armored one's struggles were in vain, trying to pluck my sword out of him.

My eyes had widened slightly in surprise seeing that his fingers were melted as soon as they came in contact with the blade of my sword.

Me : ' *In his mind * It seems that my sword is like the story of the Excalibur that Armin's grandfather had told us about, only those who were deemed worthy of holding it are the ones able to harness the blade itself. Quite interesting indeed, albeit the fact that it's literally a safety measure so that nobody can use my weaponry except If I deem them worthy of them.',I thought to myself.

Author's POV

Raphael :' * If you want my blade gone this much then why don't I get this off of you', he thought to himself as he had used his strength to knock down the armored Titan and then viciously pluck his sword off of him.

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one)

He had raised his sword once again, ready to finish them off, but a cannonball coming from a nearby cannon had pretty much blasted the sword off of his hands, denting its crystallized surface somewhat, but not enough to shatter it.

He had gone then to get his sword and once he had turned towards the two Titan shifters, he had seen that there was steam seeping from the napes of their Titan forms. A sign that they had managed to make an escape, using the steam as a smokescreen.

Raphael had sighed, small streams of steam were escaping from some slits to the sides of his closed mouth plate, his eyes and his ears were open and alert for any possible danger, not knowing that unbeknownst to him, he had piqued the interests of the members of a sertain squad.

The members of the Scouting Regime's Special Operations Squad were watching at the new abnormal Titan. Some of them had looks of genuine interest and wonder, some others had looks of disgust and one of them had a monotonous look as if he was looking at another abnormal that he had to deal with.

Voice 1 : " What kind of Titan is that?", a feminine voice belonging to a red haired girl in the squad said. This girl was none other than Petra Ral.

Voice 2 : " * scoffs * What else? A new type of abnormal Titan as it seems. We've seen far too many appearing out of nowhere Petra.", a voice belonging to a dark brown haired man said, making the others roll their eyes to the statement. The brunette was Gunther Schultz.

Voice 3 :" Tsk and here we thought that there was no other 'surprise' for today. I say that we should kill it as soon as possible and be done with it.", he said to them. The voice was belonged to a man with light brown hair and hazel eyes that tried to do a poor imitation of their captain's way of speech. Oluo Bozado.

Voice 4 :" * sighs * What in the name of the walls is going on with your need to imitate the captain or your need to kill every Titan that you see? Do you thing you're even capable of being a squad leader?", a voice belonging to Eld Jinn, a man that had a small goatee beard, long blonde hair styled in a bun and dark brown eyes replied to Oluo.

Petra was going to make them stop from starting to have yet another heated argument in between them, but Captain Levi was ahead of her.

Raising his hand in the air, Captain Levi gave to Bozado and Jinn the signal to shut up and pay close attention to the Titan that his gray eyes were never leaving him.

Gunther : " What's going on Captain?", he asked him politely.

Captain Levi : " The Titan is looking at us.", he said to them and it was true, the strange Armored Titan was looking at them locking his bright golden eyes with their eyes as if he was looking analytically in their souls.

Petra : " Captain, what do we do now?", she asked him politely.

Captain Levi : " Keep calm and look at it.", he ordered her and for some weird reason the Titan was steaming almost as if he was evaporating.

Eld : " Did anyone managed to get him when he was looking at us? ", he had asked.

Oluo : " I don't think that it's possible. You've seen first hand how he had handled the two other abnormal titans before they had tried to break through the wall. It's just not that easy to happen. ", he said to him.

Gunther :" Sh*t what do we do now? If he's really steaming, someone might had found a way through right? ", he asked them hopefully, but Levi's answer came to plummet their hearts to their stomachs.

Captain Levi :" There was no soldier at this perimeter near it.", he said to them, not knowing that they might actually see that mysterious Titan again, but in another,even more impossible way.

(A/n : Back with Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Carla)

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one)

Eren's POV

After some time being on the ship and having a piece of bread forced into my mouth by Mikasa, we have finally arrived at our destination in Wall Sina. Armin, mom, Mikasa and I were still upset about the fact that they had decided to send some people to literally their deaths, saying that they were sending them to fight against the Titans, but how could someone fight without either gear or training?

The biggest reason as to why we're upset is that those people were basically sent to their death, including Armin's grandfather.

Mikasa had begun to meditate as I was the one along with mom who had remained to watch over Raphael. I've seen then that our brother had started to stir by having to still be unconscious from when he was saved along with mom by that mysterious Titan previously.

Raphael : " What's going on? Where are we at?", he asked me as he was standing to a sitting position, running his hands through his hair, fixing them in the process.

Me : " * chuckles softly * Well, many things had been going on since you have decided to take your 'beauty sleep'. One of which is the fact that both you and mom were saved by a Titan who had brought you on the ship. Also there's the fact that as of now, Armin is going to be with us since his grandfather died from the 'plan' of the soldiers to send untrained men and women to the Titans as cattle. ", I said to him, bitterly the sum of what happened.

Raphael's POV

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one)

I was hearing with wide eyes about what had happened at the time that I was unconscious from my brother with wide eyes.

Me : '*In his mind * At least hearing by his words, no one had probably figured out that I'm part Titan, so that means that my plan had worked out for me.', I thought to myself, because of the fact that this ability to transfer my consciousness to my Titan body from my human one and vice-versa was one full of strain since doing one wrong move it would have many disturbing side effects to my mental health and then that would be a tricky thing to explain to anyone especially Mikasa.

Me : " * his eyebrows arched in worry* Where are the others did they managed to make it?", I asked him and to my surprise, he chuckled.

Eren : " * chuckles * Well, Mikasa is currently meditating since it helps her to calm down, Armin is with her and about our mother. * looks at Carla, their mother * She's here. ", he said calmly.

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin with this one)

I had looked behind my back to where he was looking at and I saw the one person that I was expecting to see again. Carla, our beloved mother. I had stood up and went closer to her, hugging her.

Author's POV

Raphael : " I missed you so much mom", he said to her calmly.

Carla : " * smiles softly, hugging her adopted son * I missed you and the others too sweetheart. I would have been dead inside a Titan's stomach, if it wasn't for another Titan that had saved both me and you. It was hard to believe it at first when I heard it by Eren and Mikasa, but when I saw that you're safe as well. It seems that it's true. ", she said to him.

Raphael :" * sniffles slightly * I was worried sick about you mom and I don't want to lose you again, I swear. ", he said to her calmly, small tears started to form from his bright red eyes.

Carla :" * looks at her son, feeling that her clothes started to get wet at where his face was * Hey, hey, it's okay, I'm safe, Eren and the others are safe as well. It's okay.", she said to him calmly.

Raphael : " * wipes the tears of his eyes * Sorry mom, it's just that I was worried that something bad had happened to you. ", he said to her calmly, slightly blushing from being called 'sweet boy'. He had then sighed softly, knowing what he should do and ask his mother for.

Raphael :" Mom, I know that it may sound like a bad idea to you, but I think that Eren was right about having us to join the Scouting Regime. * sighs softly * I know that we're getting our lives in danger by doing such a thing, but everyone deserves a chance to protect themselves and their right of being free and thriving as to not have things as what happened before in Shinganshina to repeat themselves. ", he said to her calmly awaiting for his mother's reaction to be either anger or shouting, but he was surprised when she had looked towards him.

Carla :" * smiles softly looking at him * Alright then, I've heard enough from both your and Eren's wishes to help humanity to strive for the best so I actually accept to send you there only under two terms .", she said to her adopted son, making Raphael to nod vigorously, ready to hear her terms.

Raphael :" What are your terms mom? ", he asked his mother politely.

Carla :" First of all, I want you and Mikasa to look after Eren since he can be quite reckless sometimes and secondly *leans closer to Raphael's right ear and whispers * don't let the other cadets or higher ups to learn or see your 'unique' abilities, but if needed to use them use them either in secrecy or when you judge that you don't have anything else to hide from the others. Great power comes with great responsibility. ", she said to him, whispering the second term in a voice softer than that of a whisper, trying to protect the sensitive nature of the matter from any prying or gossiping ears.

(A/n : Time skip to a few years after they had arrived at the Training Camp)

Eren's POV

After that day that our brother, Raphael, had persuaded our mother to allow us to go to the Training Camp in order to become parts of the Scouting Regiment.

It was all going great for me until Raphael decided to tell me what were our mother's terms of having us to join. I mean how could I not be pissed when I've learned that our mother had placed Mikasa and Raphael, my two adopt siblings to look after me. I mean, I might be a bit reckless in terms of thought, but I'm NOT a baby wanting to be babysat 24/7!!

Well, long story short, we're finally here staying in front of Drill Sergeant Keith Shadis talking or to be more specific yelled at us.

Keith Shadis : " You may see yourselves as people with promise, but only a few of you will be able to get further on and get themselves into one of the Regiments, whilst some of you might even become food for an attacking Titan!!! In these years that you'll be here I'll be the one making sure that some of you will get out of here learning that you're not the cattle, but the predators and if your entire life is haunted with nightmares of this training years then so be it, because ONLY THEN I'll know that I have done my job correctly. ", he said to us, passing in front of a teen taller than I am who has light brown hair, hazel eyes and a face similar to a horse.

Keith :" And who are you supposed to be? ", he asked him.

Jean :" * salutes * My name is Jean Kirstein sir and I plan to become a member of the Military Police and leave a life within wall Rose", he said towards the Drill Sergeant.

Keith : " I see, so you plan on joining the Military Police just to have an easy life?", he asked him as Jean had nodded, but before he could rise his head up, Sergeant Shadis had given him a nasty headbutt, knocking horseface down on his butt.

Keith : " * clearly pissed * You thought yourself as being able enough to manage to get first of all through my training!!!! If you can't handle just that then you can kiss goodbye to your thoughts of getting in the Military Police Brigade maggot!!!", he said to him as he had moved onwards to the next person.

The next person was shorter than both Jean and I, with bald haircut and hazel eyes. He had saluted as soon as Sergeant Shadis had came closer to him, but because of his size the sergeant had picked him up by the head, keeping the teen suspended.

Keith : " What's your name boy?" he asked him still keeping the teen suspended in the air.

Connie : " * salutes * My name is Connie Springer sir.", he said to the sergeant, managing to salute even in his weird position having the sergeant to scoff at him and drop Connie.

Author's POV

The next person that the ex leader of the Survey Corps and now drill sergeant Keith Shadis had approached closer to, was someone who was unexpectedly taller than he was. This teen was Raphael and in the years that had passed he had gotten quite the extra height since his, Mikasa's and Eren's mother had gotten a job as a baker in the local bakery in Wall Sina.

Well, it seems that being a part Titan allowed him to get a more bigger growth spurt. Who could have guessed that? (A/n : Basically from the cadets, the tallest one is Berthold and the next taller is Raphael)

Keith : " What's your name and why did you came here?", he said to him, having to look up at the teen who's bright red eyes and white hair were giving an intimidating physique.

Raphael : " * salutes * My name is Raphael Yeager and my goal is to get to the Survey Corps even though it means giving my life for humanity's safety.", he said to him with a salute and to everyone's surprise, sergeant Shadis had actually chuckled at Raphael's words.

Keith :" * chuckles * I can see when someone has the guts needed to get the job done and you're no exception seeing the burning will to help the others in your eyes. * looks at the others * Listen here maggots!!!! You're in the presence of a cadet that unlike some of you know what needs to be done. All of you can become exceptional soldiers if you have the will and guts to do what's needed. No hesitations. Am I understood!!? ", he said to them, making the rest of the cadets, alongside Raphael to salute.

Cadets :" Yes sir!!! ", they said to him.

Keith :" You call that loud, not even a granny could hear you!!! Once again!!! ", he said to them.

Cadets :" YES SIR!!!! ", they yelled in unison.

Keith : "Now that's better", he said to them as he had smelled the smell of a baked potato and looked towards his left, seeing that a sertain girl with light brown eyes and reddish brown hair was in the process of devouring the sertain baked vegetable.

Keith : " Who are you?", he said to her, a tick mark started to make its appearance on his forehead as he was glaring daggers at the girl, seemingly glaring at her soul.

Sasha : " * salutes * My name is Sasha Blouse sir!!", she said to him.

Keith : " Can you explain to me as to why you're eating a potato in front of me?", he said to her, from the tone of his voice alone, it was evident that anger was bubbling within the ex Survey Corps Commander's very blood.

Sasha : " I had found it and since no one was going to eat it, I couldn't allow it to get cold so I had to shelter it in my stomach. I could give you some of it.", she said to him, eliciting a few chuckles from the cadets.

Keith : " Did you really plan on giving me some of the potato? ", he asked her, his right eye started to twitch, but Sasha did a sheepish smile, having a few remnants of the potato on her cheeks.

(A/n : Just like this one)

Raphael : ' *In his mind * Uh oh', he thought to himself.

Keith :" WELL THAT'S IT YOU'RE OFFICIALLY ON MY SH*T LIST!!!! You're going to run laps around the training grounds until I tell you to stop and if I see you slacking you won't have any dinner!!!", he roared, making Sasha yelp and start running around the training grounds.

(A/n : To be continued)

A/n : Hello everyone Son Raon here and I present to you the latest chapter of my story Humanity's Strongest Ally called Mysteries (Part 1) and I'm really sorry for not posting it earlier, but it was just the fact that my previous weekend was a REALLY busy one, turning out to be more difficult than I originally anticipated to write, let alone publish the chapter. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter of my story and next weekend, hopefully with less difficulties I'll manage to post the newest chapter in my story called Remnant's Pharaoh. I wish to all of you a happy rest of your day or night depending on your time zone and I'm leaving you with how Raphael looks like right now :
