World at War

Trainee Days

"Hey you!"

"Sir!"

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Armin Arlert from Shiganshina District!" a blonde boy cried out

"I see! That's a ridiculous name! Did your parents give it to you?!"

Armin replied instantly "My grandfather did sir!"

"Arlert! Why are you here?!"

Closing his eyes Armin loudly replied "To help humanity achieve victory!"

"How very admirable of you! We can feed you to the Titans!" Keith Shadis responded

Slight laugher could suddenly be heard among the group and many tensed as they glanced over towards the black haired teen wearing sunglasses. Shadis was in turn livid at someone laughing of all things and marched up to the teenager

"Just what the hell are you laughing at cadet?!" Keith asked as sunglasses turned towards him and slowly lifted his dark shades, revealing a pair of bored sky blue eyes

"You just remind him of a person we know" said the one beside sunglasses, looking equally bored as the former. The teen looked similar to sunglasses, expect maybe a year or two younger. Heck, it almost looked as if they were brothers to be honest

"You agreed with me! Don't you dare let me take all the blame when you also laughed" sunglasses said with a glare at the younger one, who didn't seem fazed

"Yet I wasn't the one to get caught like you did" the younger replied as sunglasses was about to say something, but Keith seemed to have enough of the exchange

"Who the hell are you two?!"

Both locked eyes with one another as if they were having a silent conversation. After a moment of complete silence, sunglasses looked back at Keith with a sigh

"Name's Jason Todd" he said in a carefree tone, making many who were near him to move away in fear of Keith doing something "The runt beside me is Tim Drake"

A brunette a couple of rows away, looked over at the duo curiously. They didn't seem the least bit frighten by Keith like many others were, heck they looked eerily calm as if this was something they did everyday. Maybe it was a regular thing since Tim had mentioned that Keith reminded them of someone they know... perhaps a trainer or something?

"What district and reason do you have for joining?!" Keith continued or more like demanded

Jason shrugged, remembering the cover story Tim had come up with "Same as the blonde over there, Shiganshina. As for our reason to fight, what other reason is needed than to help those who can't or won't fight back against the Titans. I'd rather go down fighting than live in fear"

Tim glanced at the audience and decided that maybe they needed more details or something "What Jaybird means" Tim started as a few chuckled at the nickname, much to Jason's annoyance but he stayed silent "Is that we want to help protect people. If we fight and can make a different, even a slight one than we're willing to risk our lives and fight so that others may live to see another day. If we don't fight... then who will?"

"I think you broke them baby bird" Jason said since many looked in shock and awe at the explanation that was given

Keith stood silent, evaluating the duo. Soon he continued his way without another word onto the next person

After many introductions and Sasha with the Potato incident
"Whoa, he still has Potato Girl running" said Connie Springer as he, Mina Carolina, Marco Bolt, Armin Arlert and Eren Yeager stared at Sasha Braus who was running due to a 'misunderstanding' or 'accident' that happened involving a potato during introductions
