Attack on Titan Episode 1: To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina

"The Fall of Shiganshina?" Velvet read the title presented on the screen.

"Looks like this universe will start off with a bang." Futaba stated.

The viewing of the first universe started with a view of a geese flying over a fifty-meter high wall, an ominous sound echoing.

"Whoa! That is huge!" Ruby's eyes widened when the wall appeared on the viewing screen. Kaminari and Mineta looked at each other and exchanged immature grins, making Jiro sigh.

"How tall do you think it is?" Mina wondered.

"The wall is fifty meters tall." B explained, shocking everyone in the audience.

"Fifty-meters?" Weiss asked in shock.

"Not even the walls of any of our Kingdoms are that high." Goodwitch stated.

"Why would anyone even build a wall this tall?" Tai wondered.

"I understand if it's for protection, but isn't that going a bit overboard?" Cementoss stated, unsure if he'd be able to build such a tall wall with his Quirk.

A large, hand that seemed to have no skin at all grabbed on to the top of the wall.

"On that day, humanity was suddenly reminded..." A young male voice narrated, as three young children who were recognized by the audience as Y/N L/N, Reiko Yanagi and Izuku Midoriya watched everything in horror.

"Look Izuku!" Uraraka grabbed Izuku and shook him a little, making him blush slightly, "It's you!"

Kendo looked at Reiko and smiled at her classmates, "Looks like you're we'll be watching an another version of you right now."

Reiko nodded, "It appears so."

"Seems like you and Y/N know each other in this universe as well." Tokage offered her classmate a teasing look.

"Why is my hair black in this universe, though?" Reiko wondered, paying no attention to the look Tokage send her way.

"Why do they look so scared?" Sumire asked.

"Scared?" Nazz asked, "I'd say they look more horrified."

It was when the large creature standing on the other side of the wall was revealed to the audience. A massive head also covered in muscle and steaming heavily looked over the wall, casting a shadow onto the terrified civilians.

Many people in the audience looked at the figure presented on the viewing screen in fear. There were a few exceptions in the audience such as Ed or Reiko or Tokoyami were not touched by it as much as the rest, as they were used to seeing scary stuff.

"Cool..." In fact, Ed found the design to be quite cool.

"Cool!?" A few people shouted, baffled by Ed finding something like this cool.

"W-what is that?" Tanuma stuttered out in fear.

"It's massive..." Hagakure whispered in fear, causing Ojiro to pat her on her shoulder.

"This in a Titan." B explained, "It can be said that they the greatest threat to humanity in the world we're showing you right now."

"This must be why the walls were built." Satsuki stated, "To keep these Titans out."

"How is a Titan capable of being this large?" Vlad King asked, "Didn't the people who created the wall made it this big to prevent those beings from getting to the people?"

"The people who created the walls must have thought that it is impossible for a Titan to be this big." Nezu stated, "This must be the first time when people saw such a large Titan."

"It must be the Titan who commands all the other Titans." Sae stated, finding this to be quite obvious.

"Like a leader of the pack?" Chronoire asked.

Sae nodded, "Something like that."

"Makes sense." Chronoire nodded, agreeing with her theory.

A lot of people in the audience nodded, agreeing with Sae's theory as well.

B and Q shook their heads at her. If only they knew...

Izuku and Double D quickly began writing down all the information they could find on this Titan in their notebooks. It wasn't much at the moment, but they was certain that they and the rest of the audience will more about it and the Titans as a whole in the future.

"There's one thing I'm sure about." Neptune said, "Going against this thing would be a certain death for most of us."

Sun nodded in agreement, "Couldn't agree more, dude."

Bakugo scoffed, "Whatever I could just blow it up with my quirk."

"Press X to doubt." Kaminari said, looking at the creature on the screen fearfully as Bakugo glared at him.

"...of the terror of being at their mercy and the humiliation of being caged like birds."

Then, the scene cut to the image of horses racing through a forest on a stormy night.

"Oh, come on!" A few people in the audience shouted, annoyed by the sudden cut.

"Why do movies always to cut into another scene when something exciting is about to happen?" Coco shook her head.

"Yeah." Sun said, "I hate it when it happens."

"Don't worry." Q assured them, "What happened will be shown at the end of this episode."

It was when the viewing screen showed a group of people riding the horses wearing matching uniforms that consist of a short, light-brown jacket with a badge on both shoulders, a left breast pocket and a bigger one on their backs that consists of a pair of wings, the white one overlapping the blue one. The jacket was worn over a light-coloured shirt, a dark-brown sash around the waist, covering the top of their hips, white pants, dark-brown knee-high boots and wearing a green, hip-length hooded cloak with their badge plastered on its back also. A series of straps ran from underneath the light-brown jackets going down into their boots.

"Who are they?" Jiro wondered who these people were.

"From their uniforms, I assume they are the military." Ojiro theorized.

"They are members of the Scout Regiment or Survey Corps, one of the three branches of the military. They're job is to engage in Titan combat, Titan study, human expansion and outside exploration." B explained.

Eddy looked at Double D, "Seems like the military branch an egghead like you would join, considering it centers about outside exploration."

"At first, I would have to pass boot camp which is something I wouldn't be able to accomplish in a milion of years." Double D pointed out.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!" A man shouted who was recognized as James Ironwood as they charged through the forest. "There's only one target! We will exterminate it and make it mankind's first outside base!"

Qrow grinned, 'Look. It's you Jimmy."

"General." Winter corrected him.

Qrow rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

Ignoring their banter, Ironwood made sure to analyze the appearence of him other self, "Seems like I'm a part of this Survey Corps and I'm giving out orders which means I'm a leader of some kind."

"Actually, you're the current commander of the Survey Corps." Q explained.

"No suprises here." Winter stated, immediately forgetting about her argument with Qrow.

Many of Ironwood's colleagues and students congratulated him his position of the Survey Corps Commander.

"Of course he is in the military, even in another world." Roman snorted.

A few soldiers followed him throughout the forest. The audience was able to recognize two of them. One of them was Midnight and the other one was All Might. They were shown to be wearing special equipment around the back of their waist with wires connected to two large metal boxes hanging by their hips.

Many U.A students felt how excitement started going through their veins after seeing All Might on screen.

"All Might!" Izuku started fanboying upon seeing his idol on the viewing screen.

Sero grinned, "Awesome!"

"Show them who's the boss All Might!" Kirishima shouted.

"Those Titan shitheads have no idea what's coming for them!" Bakugo shouted with a large grin on his face.

"Hold on a second!" Eddy shouted. He and many others were suprised to how different All Might looked like on the screen compared to All Might in the audience, "This is how you used to look like?"

All Might nodded in confirmation, "Yes."

Eddy slowly eyed All Might's current appearance, "Holy shit."

Many people from the audience who weren't familiar with All Might had the same reaction after finding out how he used to look like.

"Eddy." Double D said to his friend, "Language!"

"What happened to you to make you look like a living skeleton?" Rinon asked.

"A fight with a powerful villain." All Might responded.

"We'll be having breaks from time to time." Q said, "This is when All Might can share his story with the people interested in it."

People who were interested in All Might's story nodded, knowing it will be the first thing they'll done once the time for this break will come.

"Check it out, guys!" Mina pointed at the screen as she noticed another familiar face on the screen, "Midnight-sensei is riding alongside All Might-sensei!"

"Our teachers are in the Survey Corps?" Kaminari grinned, "Awesome."

Present Mic elbowed Midnight, grinning at her, "Survey Corps, huh?"

Midnight just smiled, amazed to see herself on the screen, even though it was just for a second as the scene focused entirely on All Might.

The target could barely be made out in the distance. It was shown to be a giant human, its footsteps making a thunderous sound.

"Is that also a Titan?" Ann asked.

Blake nodded, "Most likely."

"It looks much different from the Titan we saw a few moments earlier." Shinso said.

"Looks like the theory about the Titan from earlier being some sort of commanding Titan was true." Maruki stated.

"Split into five groups, just as we practised!" Commander Ironwood ordered. His soldiers were quick to respond and did as he commanded, "All assault squads, switch to Omni-Directional Maneuver gear! Strike from all sides at once!"

One of the soldiers pulled two handgrips out from holders on their sides, both wired to the equipment on their backs. He then pressed a switch on both handgrips, which powerfully shot a grapplehook from their hips.

Ruby being a known weapons nut, was now bouncing on her seat in excitement, "What's that?" 

Hatsume rubbed her hands excitedly and leaned closer to the viewing screen, excitement evident in her eyes, "Show me what you can do."

The hook pierced right into a tree, securing its position. The main body of the ODM gear on their back reels them upwards and away from their horses. As they soar in the air, they retracted their hooks and fired them at different trees to keep moving. A gas-powered mechanism on the main equipment releases bursts of gas to push them forward and moving. All these happened in an instant as they acrobatically and skillfully swung through the air with ease.

Many people in the audience were left amazed by the device and impressed by how smoothly the soldiers moved through the air.

"Ohmigosh, that's so coooool!" Ruby squealed.

"I need to try out one of those!" Yang shouted, being the andrenaline junkie.

"Yeah." Sun nodded, being the andrealing junkie as well as his teammates smiled at him, "Same here."

"Gimme, gimme, gimme!" Futaba kept repeating this word over and over again.

"I want to have one right now!" Ryuji shouted.

"Would a moron like you even know how to operate one?" Morgana asked.

Ryuji glared at Morgana, "You want to try your chance, cat?"

"I'm not  a cat!" Morgana retorted.

"I would empty my wallet just for a few minutes with this thing." Coco said.

"I'm so jealous of those guys right now." Kevin muttered to himself.

"I need to create this wondeful baby in our world once we will leave this place!" Hatsume immediately wanted to have something like this on her own.

Many people in the audience were confused by her choice of words, "Babies?" 

"This is how she calls her inventions." Power Loader explained.

"This seems dangerous." Recovery Girl stated.

Ozpin looked at B and Q, seemed rather intrigued by it, "What is that?"

"As the commander stated earlier, it's called the Omni-Directional gear, ODM gear for short, or 3D maneuver gear. It's a device that allows the military to combat the Titans by moving in a 3-dimensional space rather than the usual 2-dimensions. It requires intense training to get used to moving like this, at least 3yrs of training." B replied.

The soldiers charged straight towards their target, "We'll close in on it from all sides!"

An airborne soldier puts his handgrips into the boxes hanging by his legs and swings them out, blades now attached to the handgrips.

The soldier roared and flew towards his target, his blades swinging down, "Have a taste of humanity's strength!"

The audience didn't got a chance to what happened next because the scene was changed into something else.

"Oh, c'mon!" Many people in the audience shouted.

Coco shook her head in irritation, "Again."

"Lame." Sun said.

A series of images was shown. First is a clear field of flowers till blood is spilt on them, a dead body was being lifted, a Titan was widening its mouth, a windmill was shown and in a flash, Titans are surrounding it. A room with a noble uniform by the fireplace, a table with different stuffed toys, an insect in an eye, dead soldiers littering the forest floor, an eerie grin on a Titan's faces and a blurred out image of two hands lifting someone off the ground.

Many people in the audience were disgusted by the images.

Y/N gasped as he awoke from his nightmare. He was lying on grass. underneath a tree's shade. He wasn't alone, though. He was accompanied by Reiko. 

"Oh, it was just a dream." Haru breathed a sigh of relief.

"A dream?" Makoto asked, "It was more of a nightmare if you ask me."

"Huh?" Was the first thing he let out upon awakening, "Reiko?"

"Let's start heading back." Reiko blankly said.

Tokage chuckled, looking at Reiko, "Your tone is as blank as ever, even in a different universe."

"Why are we here?" Y/N asked.

"You were that deep asleep?" Reiko replied with a question of her own, getting up from the ground.

"No... I think I was having a really long dream." Y/N sat up, "What was I dreaming about? I can't remember..."

"It's probably for the best." Satsuki stated.

"Yeah." Gamagori nodded, "No kid should have having nightmares like this."

Futaba looked down and nodded sadly, remembering the nightmares she had to endure after her mother's death, before her change of heart. Sojiro looked at her in concern, but calmed down and smiled when he saw Akira, being Futaba's older brother figure, comfort her.

Reiko picked up a tumpline that was filled with firewood and placing it on her back. She turned to face Y/N and looked at him in surprise, "Y/N, why are you crying?" 

Y/N touched his face in confusion, now noticing the tears falling from his eyes, "Huh?"

"After having a dream like that, I'd cry too." Velvet shivered in her seat, a few members of the audience nodding in agreement.

Year 845 - Shiganshina District

A cannon was shown resting on the fifty-meter wall. Encircled by the walls, was a settlement. Down below, Titans scraped at wall to get to the people inside. 

"845?" Hatsume asked, "Does this mean the setting of this universe is sometime in the past?"

"Yeah." B replied.

"A shame." Hatsume sighed, "I was hoping to see more delightful babies in this universe."

As the cannons continued to take care of the Titan down below the Wall, the people of Shiganshina District were minding their own business, childred laughing and playing in the streets and adults doing their jobs.

"Hear! The walls were created with God's wisdom!" The man who was dressed like a priest, preached to the people in the streets, "The walls are the work of God! Not one soul shall desecrate the walls!" 

Ibara looked down and clasped her hands together, beginning to pray upon seeing the preacher.

"Great." Eddy rolled his eyes, "A religious freak."

"Eddy." Double D said, "There's nothing wrong with people having their own faith."

"You're right. There's not." Eddy said, "As long as they don't try to shove their beliefs down other's people throat and preach on it on the streets to people minding their own business. This is when it becomes annoying."

Weekend rolled her eyes, "This guy seriously believes the Walls were built by God?"

Y/N and Reiko were shown walking along the path towards the entrance to the main district, carrying their wood filled tumplines. 

"Don't tell anyone I was crying." Y/N said.

"I won't. But if you don't know why you were crying, maybe you should talk to Uncle about it?" Reiko replied as they walked through the entrance into the main district.

"Are you kidding me?" Y/N replied, "I can't tell my dad about that!"

"Uncle?" Reiko asked in alarm, "Am I related to this version of Y/N in some way?"

"Not quite." B replied, "Y/N's parents are your foster parents in this universe."

Reiko breathed a sigh of relief after learning she and Y/N were not blood related in this universe, "Thank God."

"Why are you so relieved?" Tanpopo asked her.

"You try finding out your boyfriend is your brother in another universe." Reiko pointed out.

Weiss, Ryuko and Atori agreed with her on this part.

Tanpopo nodded her head at Reiko in understanding, "Point taken."

"What's so wrong with each other? There's nothing wrong with brother and sister loving each other dearly." Kasumi stated, showing off her brother complex to everyone.

A lot of people in the audience stared at her, wondering if she was serious or not. Everyone who was aware of Kasumi's brother complex didn't show any notable reactions.

"How did she end up in their household, though?" Many people in the audience wondered how Reiko ended up living in the L/N household.

"One more thing about this version of you." Q said, "Your last name is different in this universe. Your last name in this universe is Ackerman."

"What're you crying over, Y/N?" A new voice asked, making the two look up. They saw a man who was no other than Qrow Branwen. He was wearing a military uniform, but had a different emblem than the one the audience already saw on it.

"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby cheered out her uncle's name as soon as she saw him appear on the screen, "You're in this universe!"

"Awesome!" Yang rubbed her hands excitedly, "Can't wait to see my uncle kick some ass in this universe."

"How is he in the military?" Winter asked, utterly baffled by Qrow being in the military in this universe.

"Is this guy another member of the Survey Corps?" Midnight asked.

"No." Aizawa shook his head at the question, "The symbol he is wearing is different." 

"Your observation skills are top notch, Eraser." Ms. Joke said, "Please date me."

"Shut up." Aizawa replied as Ms. Joke laughed at his answer. Aizawa's colleagues watched the exchange between them in amusement, Present Mic elbowing his friend with a shit eating grin in his face.

Q chuckled at the interaction as something like this was the main why she decided to bring Ms. Joke into the audience, "He works in another division of the military, the Garrison. Their job is to protect and maintain order within the walls."

"So they're on guard duty." Izuku wanted to make sure if he understood correctly.

Q nodded in confirmation, "Yup." 

"Look at his face. Is he intoxicated?" Ironwood asked, noticing the reddened cheeks on Qrow's face.

Winter crossed her arms, "Some things never change, I guess."

"Qrow." Y/N said, looking up at the man.

"Did you get scolded by Reiko?" Qrow asked.

"Huh? What makes you think I'd cry?" Y/N asked in return before covering his nose, "You reek of booze!"

"Of course he's drunk." Winter sighed as she looked at Qrow and shook her head at him in a disapproving manner. This is exactly what she was excepting from him.

To annoy her, Qrow took a sip from his flask, "You were saying something, Ice Queen?"

"She's right, Qrow. You need to get your drinking habit under control." Ironwood said, "If you were one my men, I would have you fired."

"If I was one of your men I'd fire myself." Qrow retorted.

Ironwood let out an irritated sigh as some people in the audience chuckled at Qrow's comeback.

"Drinking in his job? How unmanly of him." Kirishima stated as Tetsutetsu nodded in agreement.

Y/N and Reiko's attention was shifted to the soldiers behind Qrow as they heard laughters coming from over there. They saw three soldiers, sitting down, playing cards and having drinks in plain sight, paying no attention to the civilians around them.

"Nothin' wrong with that." One of the drunk soldiers said.

"How did those people get into military?" Winter was appalled by the view of those kind of people in the military.

Ironwood nodded in agreement, "If this was Atlas, they would be greatly punished for it."

Y/N deadpanned at Qrow, "You're drinking again?"

"Wanna join us?" Qrow offered the kids.

"They're underage!" Komachi shouted in disapproval.

"So glad we don't know anyone who acts like this in their work." Aizawa whispered to himself. Midnight might have been too much to handle from time to time, but at least she wasn't drinking in her job.

"Uhm... Aren't you on duty?" Y/N asked.

 "Yeah. We're guarding the gates today." Qrow said proudly, "We've been here all day. Started getting hungry and thirsty. But it's not a big deal if we happen to drink something with a little alcohol in it."

Sae shook her head, "So irresponsible."

"Useless adults." Ryuji whispered to himself. His fellow Phantom Thieves thought the same thing.

"These people have no place in the military." Ironwood stated as Winter nodded in agreement.

Zenkichi looked at his daughter, "Is this how you used to view me?"

"Pretty much." Akane nodded in confirmation, "But I don't view you like this anymore."

Y/N looked at Qrow angrily, "But if you're drunk, how are you gonna fight?" 

"Huh? When would we have to fight?" Qrow asked, confused. 

"Do you really have to ask?" Y/N replied, "When they break the Walls and come in!"

Qrow winced at the volume of Y/N's voice, "Ouch. Y/N , don't say things like that out loud."

One of the Garrison soldiers stood up and approached them, "If it isn't Dr Jaeger's son. You've got spirit, kid." 

Momo titled her head to the side in confusion, "Jaeger?"

"Yes." B nodded, "Y/N's last name is Jaeger in this universe."

"Why?" Ryuko raised her brow.

"Because it will be easier for blaszczu to write this story when we will reach season 4." Q explained.

Her answer earned a lot of confused stares from the audience.

"If we will ever get to season 4." B said, "You know how it is with him when it comes to updating his stories."

This just confused the audience even more.

The Garrison soldier stood beside Qrow as he continued, "If they do end up breaking the walls, we'll do our jobs. But you know what? Not once in the past 100 years have they broken the wall."

"One hundred years of peace?" Ruby whispered in awe.

All Might seemed impressed by how long the peace managed to last. He hoped his world will eventually reach the point when they were having a long lasting peace too.

"Is that why those soldiers are lazy?" Nonon asked.

"This doesn't make any sense." Satsuki stated, "That didn't seem like it when the Survey Corps was shown fighting one Titan."

"Maybe it's because the walls are protecting them from those monsters and they don't have to worry about fighting them?" Monoma suggested as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Double D nodded in agreement, "This actually may be the reason. If the walls are keeping them safe from the dangers on the other side of it, then it's no wonder that soldiers are lazy in their job."

"Of course I had to be the one to came up with it." Monoma grinned widely as he shifted his gaze to where Class A was seated. His grin turned into a more of a crazed one. His classmates sighed, knowing what was coming, "Because I doubt anyone from Class A would..."

He was cut off when Kendo karate chopped him like she always did whenever he would pull off something like this. She offered the other class an apologetic look, "Sorry about him."

"This guy is scary..." Jimmy muttered to himself, creeped out by Monoma as Sarah patted him on his shoulder.

Mei looked at Kendo, "Does that happen often?"

"You have no idea." Kendo answered.

"Still! My dad said that it's times like this when we're in the most danger!" Y/N retorted

"Dr Jaeger said that?" Qrow hummed, "Well, he's right. He saved our town from an epidemic before. We can't thank him enough."

"He saved an entire town from an epidemic?" Recovery Girl said, impressed by it.

"He's that good of a doctor?" Double D said in amazement, wishing he'll be as good doctor as Y/N's father from the universe they were watching right now.

"Wow." Nora said, impressed by it, "His dad must be a smart guy in this universe."

"However," Qrow continued, "they're another story. I see Titans walking around all the time when I mend the walls. But, speaking as a soldier, I don't think they can do anything about this fifty-meter wall."

"S-So, you're telling me you don't even have the will to fight them?" Y/N stuttered out. 

"Nope." Qrow replied.

Qrow deadpanned at his counterpart.

"Then, why did you join the military in the first place?" Nonon asked.

"I bet it's just good pay." Blake stated.

"There might be other reason to it, though." Asui said, "If there's no need to fight anything because of a long lasting peace, then he can just lazy around all day and do nothing as it was just shown to us."

Kirishima shook his head, "How unmanly."

"What?!" Y/N asked, "Then drop the 'Garrison Regiment' name for 'Wall Construction Squad' instead!"

Many people in the audience laughed at Y/N's comeback.

"Nice comeback." Kaminari laughed.

Ryuko chuckled, "You tell him!" 

Qrow looked at Winter and noticed how her lip twitched upwards a bit upon hearing Y/N's comeback, "Not a word, Ice Queen."

"That doesn't sound half bad." Qrow chuckled. His fellow Garrison soldier found it funny too, "But you gotta understand, Y/N..." He smiled at the young boy, "If a soldier is doing his job, things have seriously gone to hell. It's better when everyone is calling us freeloaders. It means peaceful times for us."

"He has a point." Sojiro stated, letting out a sigh, "His point only stands if the walls are never breached, though."

"It still doesn't give them an excuse to slack off in their work." Aizawa stated.

Sojiro nodded in agreement, "I know."

Y/N clenched his fist in anger, "Yeah, we may stay inside the Walls our entire lives and do nothing but eat and sleep. But... we're living like... like... like cattle!"

Hearing this stunned many people in the audience, because they didn't except a young boy to say that.

"What?" Sae asked in suprise, "This kid is like? Ten? How can he know anything like that?"

Makoto shook her head with a suprised look on her face, "I don't know, sis."

"He acts a lot more mature than Qrow, from this universe and our Qrow over here." Winter stated, taken aback by how mature this version of Y/N sounded, despise being only a child. Qrow rolled his eyes at her words.

Ozpin looked rather intrigued by it as he thought to himself, "Just what is this version of Y/N?"

Alcina seemed intrigued by it as well, "I need to keep an eye on him."

Qrow was stunned by Y/N's answer just as much as the audience was. He broke himself out of his suprised state when he heard laughter behind him and saw his fellow soldiers laughing at Y/N's answer.

"This kid sure knows how to talk!"

"Not like he can do anything himself, right, Qrow?"

"Huh? Uh-right." Qrow replied with a nervous smile on his face. Y/N kept his head down and walked away, followed by Reiko, "Hey, Y/N!" 

"You're crazy, kid." A soldier called out after them as Y/N ignored them and kept walking forward himself.

"Don't tell me..." Qrow muttered in realization, watching Y/N walk away with Reiko, "He plans on joining the Survey Corps?"

"Not suprised." Akira said.

"Yeah." Uzu nodded in agreement, "It was easy to say from the way he was acting."

After walking away from Qrow and his drinking buddies, Y/N and Reiko walked uphill in silence, passing by countless houses. 

"You should give up on joining the Survey Corps, Y/N." Reiko stated.

"Why would I say that?" Reiko asked.

"You must be just worried about him." Kendo said, "We haven't seen what those Titans are capable of doing right now, but it quite easy to say the Survey Corps is a dangerous job."

Y/N looked at her in suprise, "What, you think they're stupid too?"

"It doesn't have anything to do with how I see them..." Reiko was suddenly cut off by the sound of the bell from the tower by the entrance of the district wall.

"The Scouts are back!" Y/N cheered, "The front gate is gonna be open! Let's go, Reiko! It's the triumphant return of the heroes!" 

He quickly took Reiko's hand and rushed towards the gate to greet the Survey Corps.

"The Survey Corps are back." Kaminari said, excited to see the Survey Corps again.

"I can't wait to see them again." Ruby said. Many people in the audience shared her excitement.

The scene cut showing the Survey Corps marching with their horses and wagons along the street. A crowd of people who had unimpressed expressions on their faces was watching them.

The excitement the viewers felt vanished in an instant after they saw the reaction of the crowed. From the looks their faces, they immediately knew something was wrong.

"Shoot, I can't see." Y/N ran from behind the crowd as he tried to look through them until he and  Reiko found boxes for them to stand on, allowing them to see over the crowd.

The Survey Corps marched forward themselves along the street. All of them looked extremely tired and dirty. Some of them even had bloodstains on their uniform.

"Looks like they've been through a lot." Pyrrha remarked.

"They're fighting monsters, it's part of their job."  Yang stated,

"Looks at the glum looks on their faces." Yusuke said, "Their mission must have ended in failure."

All Might noticed Y/N and Reiko watching him from the crowd. Y/N had an eager smile on his face, clearly happy to see them as Reiko watched everything with an uninterested look on her face. All Might quickly looked away from him in shame.

The U.A staff and U.A students all watched what just happened in shock. Seeing All Might in this form who always made sure to have a smile on his face whenever he was in this form so down was just so strange for them.

"All Might..." Izuku whispered to himself.

"What happened to you?" Present Mic asked All Might with a suprised look on his face, "I've never seen you this down in this form."

"This is the worst nightmare for a hero. A failure." All Might sighed, "I must be ashamed to look at young L/N after the expedition failed."

"This is why it is hard to be a hero in a story." Ed said, "Hero has to win all the time. A villain has to be win only once."

The Pro-Heroes and and heroes in training looked at Ed, many of them knowing what the boy had just said was true. Ed's friends however looked at him in utter shock, genuinely suprised by him saying something this smart.

"Ed..." Double D looked both pleasantly suprised and proud of his friend.

"Wow, Lumpy." Eddy smiled at his friend as he wrapped his arm around him, "Reading so many comic books finally paid off, huh?"

"What?" Ed asked, going back to his usual self.

Y/N's smile quickly faded away from his and was replaced with confusion. He glanced to the side and his eyes widened, now understanding All Might's shame filled expression. He saw more soldiers marching along the street. Those soldiers however looked more injured as they were covered in bandages and had depressed looks on their faces.

Many people in the audience gasped in shock after seeing the state the soldiers were in after their expedition beyond the walls.

"What happened to them?" Touko asked as she covered her mouth in shock.

"Those Titans certainly don't mess around." Rinon stated, her eyes widened in suprise.

"I'm starting to understand why this girl told Y/N to give up on joining the Survey Corps." Kanna stated, her fellow Witches from the KMM team nodding in agreement.

Sophia shook her head, "This is terrible."

"Only this many of them made it back?" One of the civilians asked, noticing how little Survey Corps had returned.

"They must have all been eaten." Another civilian stated, "This is what happens when you got outside the walls."

"They eat humans?" Ann gasped in shock, a lot of people in the audience doing the same after receiving this information about the Titans.

Double D and Izuku made sure to write this most recent information in their notebooks, looking to be horrified by this revelation as much as most of the audience was.

Y/N watched everything in shock and disbelief. Even Reiko looked concerned.

"Moses! Moses!" An elderly woman called out and rushed up to Ironwood,  "Excuse me, I don't see my son, Moses... Where can I find him?"

Ironwood sighed, knowing where this was going. The rest of the audience quickly came to the same conclusion.

All Might shook his head. As a hero, it was absolute one the worst situations he could imagine himself in, "Oh, no."

Ironwood frowned and looked at the injured soldier next to him, "It's Moses' mother. Bring it over."

The soldier in question nodded as the mother silently gasped, slowly realizing what happened to her son. The soldier approached the woman and hands a long, wrapped object to her. She stared down at the bloodied sheet. She carefully began to unwrap it.

Seeing where this was going Yang wasted no time and covered Ruby's eyes, making her scream, "Yang! What are you doing?"

"Joker!" Morgana shouted as Akira covered his eyes, Makoto doing the same with Sophia, "Don't cover my eyes!"

Akira ignored Morgana's pleads and proceeded to cover his eyes, deciding to spare him the view of what was about to happen on the screen in front fo them.

"Sojiro!" Futaba shouted as Sojiro covered her eyes, "C'mon!"

"You'll thank me later." Sojiro didn't even thought about unconvering her eyes as Zenkichi made sure to cover Akane's eyes from seeing what was about to happen.

"Ed!..." Sarah shouted as Ed's jumped up from his seat, feeling how his brotherly insticts kicked in. He wasted no time and quickly covered his younger sister's eyes. 

Honoka tried to tell Ayaka that she didn't need to cover his eyes, but his words fell deaf on her ears. Kasumi started growling angrily at Ayaka out of jealousy, but Ayaka ignored her.

 The mother then gasped, because what she saw next was the severed arm her dead son.

A lot of people in the audience turned green at the gruesome image on the viewing screen, the people who had their eyes covered by someone else being the only exceptions.

The mother clutched what was left of her son and fell to her knees, beginning to sob over the loss of her son.

With the severed arm no longer on the screen, the people who had their eyes covered by someone else had their eyes uncovered.

"This poor woman." Komachi whispered to herself, not wanting to imagine how she'd react if she was in her position.

"It's all we could retrieve." Ironwood said as he knelt down in front of her, the other soldiers looking away from the scene in sadness.

"But my son... he carried out his duty, right?" The mother's teary eyes looked up at the Commander as she struggled to speak, "Even if he didn't achieve direct greatness, surely my son's death helped humanity to fight back, didn't it?!"

Ironwood looked at her in shock and quickly answered, "Of course!" He paused for a moment and spoke up again with a dejected look on his face, "No... On this latest scouting mission, we..." He gritted his teeth and screamed, eyes shut, "No! Just like all the other missions, we achieved nothing at all!" Tears streamed down his face, "My incompetence has done nothing but needlessly send soldiers to their deaths! We haven't found anything about them!"

The audience was stunned, shocked after hearing Ironwood's confession. Many dissappointed looks were sent towards Ironwood for his response.

"Jeez, Jimmy." Qrow shifted his gaze from the screen to Ironwood, suprised to see him react like that.

"General Ironwood..." Winter was stunned and angry to see General Ironwood behave like that. Ironwood couldn't blame her. He was just as pissed at his version of himself.

"Why would you say something like that to a mother who just lost her child?" Komachi asked Ironwood.

"What's wrong with what he said?" Jaune asked, "I mean, he's trying to take responsibilty for the fallen soldiers, am I right? I mean, I would do the same."

"This isn't just about taking responsibilty, Mr. Arc." Ironwood said, "I still shouldn't have said something like this to a grieving mother. I literally told her her son's sacrifice meant nothing. As a Commanding Officer, I shouldn't have lost himself in my emotions."

"I see." Jaune sadly nodded in understanding, Pyrrha patting him on his back.

After the scene between Ironwood and the grieving mother, The Survey Corps pushed themselves into a march through the street, leaving the public to themselves.

"What a mess." One civilian man said in conversation with another.

"Tell me about it."

"All this shows is that our taxes are being spent feeding and fattening them up for nothing."

Looks of disgust were sent towards the civilian.

"What the hell?" Yang asked angrily.

"Show some respect for the dead." Ibara said, her hands clasped together.

The civilian flinched in pain when he felt a stick stuck the back of his head. He turned around and saw who just hit him. He saw a glaring Y/N.

"Yeah, Y/N. Show him who's the boss!" Ryuji shouted.

"You do know he can easily be hurt by that man, right?" Makoto pointed out.

"This Y/N really needs to keep his temper in check." Iida stated.

Bakugo looked at Y/N with a smile of approval, "That brat's got spunk."

"He's like a mini version of you." Todoroki stated, getting Bakugo angry.

Reiko quickly grabbed Y/N by the back of his clothes and dragged him away from an angered civilian before the situation could escalate.

"Get your ass back here!" The man shouted, but didn't went after them.

"Reiko!" Y/N shouted as Reiko continued to drag him away, "This is far enough, isn't it?!"

Without giving him an answer, Reiko launched Y/N into a wall, scattering the firewood from his tumpline.

"Wow!" Many people exclaimed at the same time, taken by suprise by how strong this version of Reiko appeared to be for a kid her age.

"She just threw him like ragdoll." Kevin said, his eyes widened in suprise.

"She's strong for a kid her age." Rinon looked at Reiko in approval. 

Reiko herself was suprised by how easily her counterpart threw Y/N into the wall.

"What was that for?" Y/N shouted at her, beginning to recollect the sticks, "Now the firewood's all over the place!"

Reiko ignored his complaints. "Y/N, have you changed your mind about joining the Scouts?"

Y/N looked away and faced the ground, ignoring the question, "Help me pick them up." 

"Dodging the question, huh?" Akira thought to himself.

Currently Disposable Information:

About the Walls (1)

Mankind lives enclosed within three walls.

The outermost wall is Wall Maria, the middle wall is Wall Rose, and the final, outermost wall is Wall Sina.

"What's this?" Haru asked.

"Pieces of information about the world you're watching right now." B explained.

Weiss nodded in understanding, "Interesting."

"They built 3 fifty-meter tall walls with their level of technology?" Hatsume seemed impressed by it.

Not wasting any time, Double D and Izuku immediately began writing the new piece of information about the world they were watching right now.

Currently Disposable Information:

About the Walls (2)

The area between the Walls are nearly identical.

There's about 100km between Maria and Rose, about 130km between Rose and Sina, and about 250km between Sina and the center.

"How much information is there?" Ren asked.

"Two for one episode." B explained.

The scene cut showing Reiko and Y/N entering their home together.

"We're back." Y/N said as he opened the door to her house and the two entered.

They were greeted by two people; YN's mother, M/N Jaeger, who was working in the kitchen, and father, F/N Jaeger, who was sitting by the table, writing down notes.

"Welcome home." The mother greeted the kids with a kind smile. F/N smiled, not saying anything. Y/N quickly placed all the wood inside a crate while Reiko was using an indoor water pump. M/N walked over to her son, "My, Y/N, I see you've worked harder than usual." 

"Y-Yeah." Y/N muttered, not looking away from his mother. Noticing that something was wrong, his mother pinched his ears. Y/N flinched slightly as he rubbed them. "What?"

"Your ears are warm. I can tell you're lying. Reiko helped you out, didn't she?" M/N gave her son a teasing smile. Y/N stayed silent, looking away from his mother.

The people in the audience who had their own children, no matter if they were blood or adopted, smiled fondly at the scene.

"Oh, are you heading out, Dad?" Y/N asked as he and Reiko were having lunch and M/N was washing the dishes, "Work?"

"Right, Qrow did mention that his father is a doctor." Port said.

"Yes." F/N nodded as he was packing his books in his bag, "Medical examinations within the inner walls. It should take around two to three days."

"Oh." Y/N replied as he proceeded to eat his meal. However, Reiko was not eating her meal.

"She's going to snitch on him, isn't she?" Sero asked, grinning slightly.

Reiko took a deep breath and said, "Y/N says he wants to join the Survey Corps."

"Called it." Sero said as he and Kaminari fist bumped.

M/N gasped as she turned around to look at Y/N as F/N flinched at the revalation.

"Understable reaction from a parent." Medusa stated as Komachi, Sojiro and Zenkichi nodded in agreement.

"Considering what we just saw, yes." Zenkichi agreed.

Y/N glared at Reiko, slamming his spoon on the table, "Way to keep a secret, mouth!"

Many people in the audience watched the scene in amusement.

"You snitch." Yang shook her head, smirking in amusement.

"Boo!" Nora booed playfully.

"Snitches get stitches!" Atori added, using her handpuppet to do so.

Reiko felt how her cheeks slightly reddened in embarassment as Kendo and Tokage looked at their friend in amusement.

"Y/N!" Y/N's mother shouted as she quickly rushed to him and placed both her hands on his shoulders,  "What are you thinking? Do you know how many people have died outside the walls?"

Izuku nodded his head sympathetically, remembering how many times his mother was worrying about him.

Sun cringed, "We saw."

"How many people do you think would come back if they had aura?" Ruby asked.

"Or were capable of using magic." Natsume added.

Uraraka followed, "Or had Quirks."

"Or had Persona's." Akira decided to add his part into the discussion too.

"Or had a Three-Star Goku Uniform." Uzu asked, making sure to not leave his universe out of this.

"...I'd say more of them would come and with fewer injures." Ozpin replied after everyone added their own part into the question.

"Wow." Nazz whispered to Kevin, "Are we the only universe in here that's normal?"

"I do!" Y/N shouted, slightly surprising his mother.

"Then why..."

"Y/N." F/N cut in with a calm tone making the two look at him. "Why do you wish to venture outside?"

"His dad is taking it more calmly." Oobleck noted.

"One of the parents probably should." Goodwitch stated.

At first, Y/N seemed suprised by how calm his dad was, but eventually answered to his question, "I want to know... what's become of the outside world. I don't want to simply live out my life within the walls like this! Besides, if nobody follows in their footsteps... the sacrifice of all those who lost their lives would be in vain!"

"That's actually really honorable." Winter stated with a suprised look on her face.

"How can a child like him sound so mature?" Port wondered.

"Perharps growing up in a world like this caused him to mature quicker." All Might stated. The fight between young Midoriya and young Bakugo flew through his mind. He sighed internally. There were many times where he forgot that his students were still children, "Children often mature faster under harsh circumstances." 

"I see." F/N said as he stood up from the table and prepared himself to leave, "The ferry will depart soon. I'll be off now."

"He took it much more calmly than our dad when he found out that we want to become huntresses." Yang stated as Ruby nodded in agreement.

"I was just worried about you." Tai replied.

"We know." Yang and Ruby replied at the same time.

"Wait, dear!" M/N quickly said as she rushed up to her husband who stopped by the door, "Say something to Y/N!"

"M/N, words can't hold back human curiosity." F/N simply said to his wife, who dropped her shoulders at that fact. He looked at his son, "Y/N ."

"Wise words." Ozpin nodded.

Nezu nodded in agreement, "Human curiosity knows no bounds."

The son stood up from his seat and listened to his father, "When I return, I'll show you the basement that I've always kept a secret." He said as he pulled out a key that was hanging from his neck.

Y/N gasped in excitement, "Really?!" 

"The basement? What could be so special about a basement?" Neptune questioned.

"We'll most likely find out in the future showing of this universe." Blake stated.

"Have a safe trip!" Y/N shouted as he waved his father goodbye while M/N and Reiko watched him off.

"I'm still against it." M/N said to her son, catching his attention. "Only fools would consider joining the Survey Corps."

The audience couldn't blame her for having a low opinion of the Survey Corps, considering what they saw a few moments ago.

"What? Fools?!" Y/N said, offended, "To me, people that are content with living like cattle seem way more stupid!" 

"Y/N!" M/N called her son but was ignored by him as Y/N ran off.

Shiori shook her head, voicing what she and a few other people in the audience were thinking, "How childlish." 

"You do know he is still a child, right?" Kyochiro asked his sister.

Shiori's eyes widened as she realized how stupid what she just said was, the people in the audience who were thinking the same realizing it as well.

M/N quickly turned to her surrogate daughter and placed both her hands on her shoulders, slightly shocking her. "Reiko, that boy has a habit of getting into trouble, so when something happens, be there for each other."

"Okay." Reiko nodded and ran after Y/N.

Haru smiled, "That's sweet of her."

Tokage looked at Reiko with a teasing look on her face, "You two are just adorable, no watter what world it is."

Reiko glanced away from her, blushing slightly.

The scene cut to the other parts of the district. It was when the audience heard the sound of arguing children.

"What's going on here?" Jaune asked.

"What's wrong, heretic?" A cocky-sounding young boy accompanied by two others questioned while he slammed a a boy who was recognized as Izuku against the wall while looking a bit injured, "If you don't like it, why don't you fight back?"

"Oh, someone is getting bullied." Jaune quickly got the answer for his own question. He cringed, recalling the bullying he had to endure from Cardin as Pyrrha comforted him. Velvet who experienced the same thing from Cardin was comforted by her team. 

Eddy glanced away from the screen, remembering the abuse he had to endure from his older brother. Double D placed a comforting hand on his shoulder as Eddy smiled at his friend, appreciating the gesture. Lee looked at him in concern, but calmed down once she saw Eddy smile at his friend.

Izuku stiffened, recalling the bullying he had to endure throughout the years.

Meanwhile, Bakugo was reminded of his horrible past by this scene, remembering that he was doing the same thing to Deku because of him being quirkless.

"Why are they bullying Izuku?" Uraraka glared at the bullies on the screen.

"As if I'd ever do that." Izuku grunted in pain, "The last thing I'd do is stoop to your level."

 "What was that?!" The bully snarled. 

"You're only resorting to physical abuse because you can't prove that I'm wrong." Despite the bullied boy's pain, his eyes did not waver, making the three bullies flinch at his comment. "Doesn't that mean you admit I'm right?!"

Nezu nodded in approval, "Impressive speech, young Midoriya."

"Unfortunely I don't think the three of them will be able to understand and apply that knowledge." Oobleck stated.

Not wanting to admit he was right, the bully snarled at him and raised his fist. "Shut your trap, you rambling nitwit!"

But before he could punch him, someone shouted, "Stop right there!"

 The bullies looked in the direction to see Y?N running towards them with an angry expression.

"It's Y/N!" One of the bullies shouted. They smirked as they all got ready to beat him up, "What an idiot. He came back for more."

"Itching for a beating, huh?"

"We'll make you our sandbag!"

But before they could do that, one of them noticed Reiko running behind Y/N who was much his horror giving them a death glare.

"R-Reiko's right behind him!" One of the bullies said in fear, their bravado gone.

Kuroiro grinned, "Nice."

"That's one awesome death glare." Tokage smiled at Reiko.

"What can I say." Reiko gave her a slight smile in return, "I can be pretty scary at times."

"At times?" Komori asked as she and Pony shivered at the memory, "Your scary story from our sleepover gave me nightmares for a week!"

Mina and Hagakure nodded in agreement, recalling the time when they spied on their classmate when he was out on a date with his girlfriend. Needless to say, the way these two flirted with each other was something else.

"W-We're screwed! Run!" The bullies panicked and began to run away with their tails tucked behind their backs, leaving the injured boy sitting on the ground.

Some members of the audience giggled at their fearful expressions at the sight of Reiko.

Y/N stopped running as he was next to the boy and panted with a smile on his face, "Hey, they took off after seeing me!" 

Some people in the audience chuckled at the misunderstanding.

"No, they probably ran because of Reiko." Izuku muttered. He tried and failed to get up, "O-Ow."

"Hey, you okay, Izuku?" Y/N approached Izuku and offered his hand to him as Reiko looked at him in concern.

"Seems like young Midoriya is friends with them in this universe." Midnight observed.

"It would explain why we saw the three of them standing together at the start." Aizawa stated

Izuku looked at the hand and gritted his teeth before looking down, "I can stand up on my own."

"All right." Y/N nodded as Izuku got himself back on his feet.

Izuku silently cheered his counterpart on.

"Why didn't he accept his help?" Sophia wondered, raising her eyebrow at his reaction.

"Probably a wounded pride." Akira stated.

"Pride." Sophia nodded in understanding, "I see."

Jaune cringed, remembering how he was refusing to let Pyrrha train him because of his pride which led to a couple of problems he had to deal with.

The scene cut into three children sitting together near the waterside of the district.

"So, when I said mankind would eventually need to go outside, they hit me, saying I was a heretic." Izuku finished the reason why he was being bullied.

"What? That's why he's getting bullied?" Gamagori asked.

"What a bullshit reason to bully someone." Ryuji stated.

"Considering for how long the humanity has been living behind the walls, it's no suprise that a mindset like this was developed by some people." Aizawa stated.

"Damn it." Y/N muttered as he threw a rock into the water, "Why does simply wanting to go outside turn everyone against us?"

"Well, it's because it's been peaceful within the walls for the past 100 years." Izuku answered, "In order to prevent inviting them in through a reckless attempt to go outside, the king's government created a policy that made holding interest in the outside world taboo."

"What kind of policy is that?" Coco asked.

"What about the Survey Corps? They're risking their lives for the people inside the walls by going outside the walls." Uraraka said.

"We're risking our own lives." Y/N retorted, "It's our choice to make."

"Exactly. They don't have the right to do that!" Ruby said.

Ryuko nodded in agreement, "You tell them, Y/N!"

"It's to prevent them from getting eaten alive." Satsuki told her sister.

"I won't let you." Reiko said, making the two look at her, "You can't."

Many people in the audience smiled at the dedication Reiko had to protect Y/N as Reiko ignored the teasing look Tokage send her way.

"I figured." Izuku said, "True, I think those who believe the walls will forever provide a life of peace need to face reality. Just because the wall has done its job for the past 100 years, it doesn't guarantee that it won't be breached today..."

Most of the audience sighed, knowing where everything was going right after Izuku's counterpart said those words.

"Let me guess." Atori said, "He jinxed them?"

"Yup." A lot of members of the audience replied at the same time.

Izuku lowered his head in embarrassment.

The scene cut into the sky where the walls are. Everything was peaceful until lightning suddenly struck from outside the walls causing a powerful shockwave making not only the three kids jump from their seats, but everyone stumbled and fell over from the powerful impact. While everyone recovered, they all see smoke coming from the outside of the walls.

A lot of people in the audience jumped in their seats at the sudden explosion.

"What is happening?" Pyrrha asked.

"Are they under attack?" Kaminari asked.

"You just had to jinx it, you shitty nerd?" Bakugo asked Izuku.

"I'm sorry..." Izuku muttered.

"Wh-What the...?" Izuku stuttered as he slowly stood up along with his friends, "An explosion?"

"It came from there!" They turned to the sound of civilians heading to where the noise came from.

"Seems like something fell."

"I have no idea."

Not wasting any time, Izuku quickly rushed to where the civilians are heading.

"What are you doing? Don't go to where the explosion is!" Uraraka shouted to Izuku's counterpart in worry.

"Always jumping into danger, aren't you Midoriya-kun?" Iida asked his friend as Izuku smiled sheepishly.

Aizawa shook his head, "Problem child."

"Hey, Izuku!" Y/N called after his friend as he and Reiko followed him.

After catching up to his friend, who stood frozen as he looked up at the sky along with the other civilians, "What's wrong? Just what are you staring at?"

Y/N and Reiko looked in the direction where Oscar was looking and his eyes widened  in pure horror at what he was seeing. They saw a giant red hand clutching on the top of the wall, strong enough to break parts of it with its hand.

"Wait a second..." Double D said, "This is the scene we saw the start!"

"No way..." Izuku muttered in horror, "That wall is fifty meters tall!"

"It's them." Y/N whispered as the Titan revealed its face to them. Steam came out from its body, and its face shows that it has no skin at all. Just covered entirely in muscles you'll find under human skin, "A Titan!"

A lot of members of the audience froze in their seats upon seeing the monstronity on the screen. Even some of the adults felt how chills went down their spine after seeing the massive Titan.

The Titan began to move. It slowly raised its right leg in the air backward. With slow yet great force, it swung down, kicking the gates of the wall and creating a powerful impact that not only destroyed the gate but blew away people close to the entrance. Debris scattered around, destroying houses and crushing the people around them.

As the dust cleared, there was now a massive hole in the wall. Large enough for an army of smaller Titans to enter.

The audience could only watch what had just happened on the screen in horror.

"...It made a hole in the wall." Ms. Joke said, her signature smile fading away from her face.

"The other titans will now be able to pass the wall..." Thirteen said in horror, worried for the people living in Shiganshina.

Momo gasped, "All those people living Shiganshina..."

Uraraka shook her head, putting her hand over her mouth, "No."

Ibara closed her eyes and started praying.

Then, the giant Titan hid away behind the walls.

"Th-They..." Back with the children, Izuku stuttered in fear in what they have witnessed, "Blew a h-hole into the wall."

It was when a Titan was shown entering the district and looking down on its prey. The civilians saw the monstrosity and began to panic and run away.

Akane's eyes widened after seeing the monstronity on the screen, "One of them is now inside!"

"Run!" Ruby shouted to the people showed on the screen.

"They're coming inside!"

"The Titans are coming!"

Izuku began to panic but was doing his best to calm down along with Reiko, "We need to." He paused when he saw Y/N walking in the direction of the destruction,  Y/N!" 

"Our house is..." Y/N said as he ignored a few people bumping on him, "Mom is..."

The audience gasped in horror, having forgotten about Y/N's mother.

"Auntie M/N." Mako whispered to herself in horror, remembering how hard her death was for her cousin. Her usual cheerful expression was completely gone from the face. 

Ren trembled in his seat as he recalled the events of Kuroyuri. Nora noticed this and quickly wrapped her arm around her childhood friend, not only to calm him down, but to calm herself down as well.

Realizing what he meant, Reiko ran to join Y/N.

"Reiko!" Izuku reached out for his friend, but his arm froze and trembled. Seeing the state it was, he used his free hand to calm it down, but it was still shaking, "It's all over. This town is... going to be overrun by Titans!"

"Please hurry." Momo said, worried for this counterpart of her aunt.

"Come on. Hurry." Mako cheered for this counterpart of her cousin, "I don't want my auntie to die again..."

Reiko and Y/N ran towards their home as they ignored a few civilians bumping at them and the bodies that were crushed by the debris.

Y/N ignored the bodies and kept running, "There's no way our house got hit." He thought as he and Reiko continued to run and were about to turn against a street corner, "Once I turn that corner, our house will... like always..."

Many people in the audience stared at the screen nervously.

"Please be safe." Ibara prayed for the safety of Y/N's mother.

He and Reiko turned through the corner, but their eyes widen in shock at the sight before them. He quickly rushed ahead to his home with a large boulder crushing it, "Mom!"

"No." Momo whispered to herself in horror.

Fortunately, he saw his mother trapped under the pillar of the house, "Mom!"

M/N slowly opens her eyes to hear her son's voice, "Y/N..."

"She's alive!" Ruby shouted in relief as Momo and Mako sighed in relief. Perharps they won't have to watch their aunt die after all.

"Reiko, hold that side! We'll lift the pillar!" Y/N shouted as he and Reiko reached M/N and tried to lift the pillar off of her.

"Come on, come on." Mako cheered on her cousin and Reiko's counterparts.

"They might have enough time to pull up the pillar." Double D stated, "We saw how casually those monsters are walking. It might take them a while to reach them."

 Reiko nodded and they tried to lift it off. The sound of giant footsteps could be heard. Y/N looked towards the source, and to her growing horror, more Titans appeared walking in the distance.

"Shit!" Rinon cursed.

Makoto's eyes widened, "They're this close already!?"

Double D sighed, "Alright. I was wrong."

Snapping out of it, he continued to try and save his mother, "Hurry, Reiko!" 

"I'm trying!" Reiko cried as she tried to get the pillar off.

"Don't give up." Momo whispered, feeling how her worry for her aunt increased, "I know you can do this."

"If I only had my Quirk in this." Reiko thought to herself, clenching her hand. If only this counterpart of her could use her Quirk, then she would M/N's mother would already be pulled out from the rubble.

"The Titans have come inside, haven't they?" M/N whispered as she looked up to her son, beginning to understand what was happening around her,  "Y/N, take Reiko and run away. Hurry!"

"What?" A lot of people in the audience exclaimed at the same time.

"Don't say that! Just give them enough time!" Akane shouted, knowing how it felt like to lose a mother.

"I want to run away! Get up already!" Y/N shouted as he tried and failed to pull off the pillar to the point that his fingers began bleeding.

"Look at his fingers." Touko put her hand over her mouth.

Honoka sighed, "He's so desperate to save her." 

"My legs are crushed by the rubble. Even if I get out of here, I can't run." M/N said to her son as Y/N began to cry in horror, "You understand, right?"

"I'll run away carrying you!" Y/N cried out in denial.

"Why don't you ever listen to what I tell you?!" M/N shouted as she began to cry. Even Reiko was starting to cry, "At least listen to my final request!" She turned to her adoptive daughter, pleading to do the same, "Reiko!"

Reiko sobbed and shook her head in denial, "No... No!" 

Reiko was close to tears at the scene as Kendo and Tokage comforted her. 

It was when a black haired titan with a huge smile on it's face appeared in their view. The smilling titan was approaching them with only one obvious intention.

"No! Go away!" Mako shouted, her normally cheerful persona was completely gone right now as Ryuko and Gamagori tried to comfort her.

"At this rate, the three of us will..." M/N stated after hearing the footsteps. It was when she  she heard the sound of wires being retracted. She looked up to see Qrow using his Omni-directional mobility gear as he approached them and checks M/N's condition, "Qrow! Take the children and run!"

"Like hell!" Qrow said.

Cheers rang throughout the theater at the arrival of Qrow, 

"Please do something." Momo whispered to herself.

Qrow was shocked at her request. He took a deep breath and smiled at her, "I can't have you thinking I'm that small a man, M/N." His face turned serious, "I'll butcher the giant and make sure to save all three of you!"

 "Wait!" M/N shouted as Qrow rushed towards the Smiling Titan, drawing his blades out, "Don't fight it!"

"She's right. If it's just the two of them, we can get away." Qrow thought as he continued his charge, "But this is the time for me to make good on my debt!"

"You can do it!" Kirishima shouted, ready to see military man prove himself to be a man.

"Show how everyone much of a man you are!" Tetsutetsu pumped his fist.

"Break the monsters legs!" Nora cheered.

"Show this monstronity how it feels to be beated by the all mighty three shoe beating!" Rolf screamed, earning a few weirded out stares from the audience. His friends just shrugged their shoulders as they got the chance to get used to Rolf being Rolf.

"Show them how awesome you are uncle Qrow!" Yang cheered for her uncle, she and Ruby looking forward to see Qrow kick some ass.

"It's time to watch some a Titan get it's ass kicked!" Ryuji grinned.

The audience continued to scream the words of support for Qrow, wanting to see him come out victorious in his upcoming fight with the Titan.

A few people in the audience such as Bakugo or Rinon even thought about facing the monster themselves, confident that their abilities will be enough to face the monster.

"You know he's not gonna beat it, right?" Roman asked. Many adults in the audience hated to admit but they agreed with him on this matter.

 If looks could kill Roman would be in the underworld, because of how many glares he received after making his comment. Neo elbowed her partner in crime in the ribs, glaring at him alongside many other people in the audience.

"He's right, you know?" Weekend agreed with Roman, "If they truly have been at peace for 100 years, then he has never faced actual combat against a Titan. Either he dies facing it, or he runs away with Y/N and Reiko, leaving M/N to her fate."

Qrow froze dead in his tracks the moment he set his eyes on the Titan in front of him, seeing how it's wickedly smilling face stared down at him like an animal at it's prey.

A lot of people in the audience shivered in their seats and froze at the view of the abomination presented on the screen. Even people such as Ozpin or Kazane or Goodwitch or Alcina felt a sense of dread go through their bodies upon getting a better look at the Titan.  

A few people in the audience searched for comfort in the other people. Sarah and Jimmy clutched onto each other, Touko clutched onto Rinon, Tanpopo, Rin, Kanna, Mei, Kotetsu clutched onto Medusa, Ruby clutched onto Yang, Akane clutched onto Zenkichi, Nora clutched onto Ren, and Tanuma clutched onto Kasumi who clutched onto Honoka. Those were only a few examples of it happening in the audience.

The people who thought they could try to take on this Titan in order to protect M/N's mother from it froze in their seats in fear, feeling how this confidence of facing this beast left their bodies in an instant. At least they knew how Qrow on the screen was feeling right now...

Izuku, Iida, Momo, Todoroki, Kirishima, Tokoyami, Reiko and Shinso all froze in fear, recalling the last time when something made them froze in fear to the point where they couldn't move. It was when they encountered All For One for the first time after they went to Camino to save Bakugo and Y/N after they were kidnapped by the league at the training camp.

It was even worse for Kirishima because it made him remember how he froze in fear when a villain approached his schoolmates from junior high on the street and he didn't do anything to help them out of fear.

Qrow let out a sigh, feeling how a wave of shame went through his body as he knew what his other self was about to do and to be honest he couldn't blame the guy. 

B and Q observed the reaction of the audience carefully, wondering how they were going to react to one of them being the Titan presented on the screen. They especially set their eyes on a certain mother of two who right now was clutching into her dearest friend out of fear, finding her to be the matching description of the Titan on the screen.

At the same time a feeling of deja vu washed over a few people in the audience, like they recognized this face from somewhere. The Takamiya family were the ones who experienced this feeling the most. Komachi felt like this face oddly familiar to her and she didn't know why.

Without a second thought, Qrow turned away from the Titan and sheathed his blade. He made his way back to the children and took Y/N into his arms, suprising the boy.

"Hey, Qrow!" Y/N shouted as Qrow did the same with Reiko, "What are you doing!?"

Qrow lowered his head and let out another sigh after seeing that his predictions turned out to be true, feeling show a wave of shame went through his entire body. Many other adults in the audience sighed. It was tough for them to accept this but it was the only logical way to avoid all of them dying.

"No!" Ruby screamed, letting go off her sister.

"He's leaving her..." Touko whispered, still clutching onto Rinon in fear.

"Go back!" Mako shouted, "Don't leave my auntie behind!"

"Coward." Bakugo scoffed as Rinon nodded her head in agreement.

"I don't condone him running away from a person in need but can you blame him for reacting in  such a way? We all froze when we saw this monstronity on the screen." Iida said, "Just imagine seeing this creature with your very own eyes just meters away from it while having no experience in fighting one."

A few people shivered in their seats at the thought of facing this monstronity.

M/N smiled gratefully, seeing that her children were being taken to safety, "Thank you."

"...Mom!..." Y/N shouted, trying to break free from Qrow's grasp, "...She's still!..."

"Y/N, Reiko!" M/N cried out as she reached out for them, "You two need to live on!..."

It was when whatever she had to say next died in her throat as an image of herself along with Y/N, Reiko and F/N all happily spending time together flew through her mind.

M/N gasped as she realized what she had just done, realizing she will never see her family. She covered her mouth with her hand, knowing that she made a terrible mistake and whispered one final, "Don't go..."

It was when the smilling Titan stopped right behind her, it's feet letting out a loud thud once they collided with the ground. The Titan reached down and moved the rubble of the house aside, before grabbing Y/N's mother with it's large hands.

Many people in the audience were in tears or openly sobbing as they continued to watch this scene. It was even worse for the people who lost their mothers at some point of life such as Ren or Ruby as they knew how it felt like to lose a mother. A lot of people in the audience couldn't help, but imagine themselves in Y/N's place and their mother's in M/N's place. 

Many adults in the audience sighed at the unfairness of the situation, knowing that Qrow did the only smart thing in this situation. Many heroes felt terrible for not being there to stop it from happening.

"A-Auntie M/N..." Momo and Mako whispered in horror as they both were openly sobbing at this point, knowing what was about to happen to their aunt. It was worse for Mako because she already had lost her aunt to a car accident a while ago. 

Reiko clenched her hand, blaming herself to failing to save her surrogate mother from this universe and the mother of her boyfriend from her universe. Izuku and All Might sighed, wishing there was something they could do to save Y/N mother from her now inevitable death.

Shinso bit his lip. He knew it was another universe but seeing the woman who was always nice to him and never judged him for having a villainous quirk, like many other people did, about to be eaten alive was hard.

"That image. Isn't this what Y/N saw in his dream?" Double D whispered to himself as he put his hand on his chin in thought, watching the scene on the viewing screen with a saddened look on his face. A few people in the audience such as Alcina or Ozpin or Nezu or Sophia noticed this too.

"STOP!!!" Y/N bellowed, pleading for the beast to stop as the Titan lifted up his mom from the rubble to it's mouth.

M/N attempted to free herself from the Titan's grasp by hitting it's hand, but it was no use. It used its freehand and strangled her, immediately killing her.

Y/N gasped in horror as the Titan opened it's mouth widely, ready for it's meal. Reiko watched in horror and quickly looked away, not wanting to see it. Y/N continued to watch it, though with an utterly traumatized look on his face. He continued to watch as the Titan began to eat his mother as the Titan closed it's mouth, blood splattering everywhere once it's teeth bit into the body of his mother.

"On that day, humanity received a grim reminder..." A voice from the beginning which was now recognized as Izuku's spoke up, "We they lived in fear of the Titans and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls..."

Even after the episode ended, many people in the audience continued to cry in sadness and horror, with people in the audience who weren't crying tried to comfort them. Momo and Mako who were forced to watch another version of their aunt get eaten alive were being comforted by their friends.

Q and B sighed after watching how Y/N's mother was just eaten alive, knowing what will happen afterwards in this universe. This was the moment where Marley made the worst enemy they could have made not only for themselves but also for humanity.

"Have you all calm down?" B asked after a moment of staying silent.

"Yes." Momo nodded, wiping the tears from her cheeks, "I'm sorry for my reaction. It was just hard to watch my aunt getting eaten alive, even if it was another version of her."

"It's okay." B assured her, "You have nothing to apologize for."

"What do you think?" Q asked.

Ryuji shook his head, "This was so effed up man."

"Yeah." Kevin nodded in agreement, "You can say that again."

Honoka shook his head, "Poor Y/N."

"Is everything alright, Takamiya-kun?" Ayaka asked.

"Nothing. It's just. I just remember when Y/N told us about his Aika." Honoka sighed. His and Y/N's friends sighed, remembering this moment too, "Good thing we managed to convince him to tell us about her and everything else. I don't even want to think what would end up happening if we didn't."

The audience wondered what he was talking about, but no one asked him about this as they all felt it must have been pretty touchy and private subject.

"I already excepted this universe to not be pleasant after seeing the title but I don't think I was prepared to see something like that." Thirteen said. Many people in the audience nodded in agreement.

All Might clenched his hand, feeling terrible for all the people who just lost their lives because of the Titan invasion, "If only I was there to prevent this from happening."

"Don't dwell on it." Aizawa said, "You don't know how your encounter with a Titan would end, especially with the large one who destroyed the wall. You don't even know how to fight a regular Titan."

All Might sighed, knowing Aizawa was right. He could only hope his counterpart in this universe was going to do something to stop the Titans once and for all.

"I just hope Y/N and his friends and uncle Qrow made it out alive." Ruby said. Many people in the audience nodded in agreement.

"Allow me to warn you." Q said, "Be prepared to see more dark scenes in this universe and everything will just get dark as the story of this universe will progress."

"You mean to tell us those are the happy days of this universe?" Makoto wanted to be sure if she understood her correctly.

"Trust me." Q nodded in confirmation, "What you saw right now will be nothing compared to everything you will see in the future viewings of this universe."

The entire audience remained silent, allowing themselves to process Q's words.

"Now. Shall we start another universe?" B said, "Don't worry. The next universe will have some dark moments in it, but won't be a dark as this one. In fact, I'm sure many of you will find the concept of it exciting."

The masked young man pressed the button on his seat, the title of the next universe appearing on the viewing screen.

I hope the chapter wasn't so bad, because it was my first time writing a reaction chapter in over a year. Just to let you know right now, the updates for this story are most likely going to be infrequent as this will be a side story I will work on while working on my other stories (It took me about two months to write this single chapter because of infrequently I was working on it)

Let's end this chapter with a quick question for you: Out of the characters in the audience, who do you think will support the Rumbling once we will reach this arc (if we will ever reach it)?
