World at War

First Battle

Before Jason could even utter a word, Eren wasted no time as he went to attack. This in turn caused Jason to follow after him, knowing right away that Eren wouldn't just stop. Best to help then have him die 'No wonder they call him suicidal'

Suddenly in the place of Eren, a version of his younger self appeared as Jason blamed his subconscious for reminding him once again about his failure to listen to orders 'Is this what Bruce felt?'

Back to the battle at hand, the Colossal Titan used his arm and went straight for the cannons, something that wasn't missed by either teen as they dodged the attack

'He went for the cannons! He didn't take out the gate by accident then either! He does have intelligence!'

'I thought these things were said to be mindless! Either the information is wrong or something is missing... this one clearly has a mind to use'

Suddenly the Colossal turned back to the duo trying to battle against him and reached out to make a grab for either one of them, but he was too slow. Both used their gear and shot a cable towards the Titan as they landed on his arm. Eren once again charged forward, running up his arm much to Jason's annoyance 'Does this kid even have a plan?'

The Colossal Titan took notice of this and turned his arm, making Eren lose his balance, while Jason was able to use the cable still attached to swing around and saw that Eren had once again attached his own gear to the Titan. At least he seemed to know what he was doing Jason hoped

Locking eyes with Jason's blue ones, the former Robin seemed to get what Eren wanted to do and nodded as a sly smirk appeared on his face 

Both went for the weak point... only to get steam blown in their face. However as much as it burned, neither was determined to just up and let go

Instead they charged into the steam!

Cutting through, they were shocked at the fact that there was nothing

Hanging from the wall, after regaining their senses, Jason turned to the brunette "Where'd he go?"

"It's just like 5 years ago. He appeared only to suddenly disappear" Eren replied, this made Jason look confused 'How could a Titan as tall as that disappear! No way something as big as that could disappear... unless they could change their size or had a human form to blend in'

Once back on the wall, Eren couldn't meet the eyes of his teammates "I'm sorry. I let him get away"

"I was also there with you Eren and let him get away. As much as I hate to admit these sorts of things, not all the blame is yours" Jason added still trying to understand how the Titan disappeared

"What are you two apologizing for? We were so scared-"

"Hey! There's no time for that! The Wall's been broken! We have to hurry and seal it before the Titans get in again!" Connie snapped

Suddenly a Garrison solider appeared, making all the teens salute him, even Jason who was distracted, having a ton of thoughts running through his mind gave a lazy salute as well "What are you doing? The Colossal Titan Response Operation is already underway! Return to HQ at once! Anyone who's come into contact with it, remember to give a report!"

"Yes sir!" Eren said

"We pray for the advance team's success!" Connie added as the group left for HQ

A couple of minutes later
At the HQ, a Garrison solider was seen giving orders "You trainees have successfully graduated! You are now proper soldiers! I have high hopes for you in this operation!"
