Chapter 23 - Becoming a Cadet

No pov

The clones were heading back to Wall Rose after the briefing inside the Tribunal. After landing, Fives and Jesse, along with the other clones were on patrol around the building where the refugees were inhabiting.

Jesse: So Fives, you really believe we should kill the Titans from time to time?

Fives: Yes, we can't risk wasting a lot of valuable ammunition and be overwhelmed by their numbers.

Jesse: Have you and the others trained the soldiers of the Scout Regiment?

Fives thought about it. It does sound like a good idea. But at the same time, he's not sure.

Fives: No, we haven't. Even if we did, it'll take years to get them to learn how to hold and shoot a blaster. Anyway, let's change the subject. How was it like living in the Tribunal for a whole year?

Jesse: (sighs) It was boring. I mean yeah, I went along with the routine of checking the ship if we had missed anything. We did find more ammunition, but it's a different variant and AT-RTs hidden inside.

Fives: Those AT-RTs can be useful for the Scouting Expeditions. What's the ammunition you've found and how much do we have in stock?

Jesse: It's mainly against organic targets, I think it can work greatly against the Titans. We have a whole arsenal of them.

Fives: That's good news. We need to switch ammunition before we go on the next expedition. Anything else?

Fives asked him. Jesse went close to him and whispered about Eren. Fives then looked around and looked back at Jesse.

Fives: Switch your comms to tact 3.

(A/n here. BF3 had come across my mind and decided to add this.)

He whispered as he and Jesse switched comms channels. This allows the two to talk without anyone knowing their conversation. All that the civilians would hear is nothing but muffled radio chatter between the two.

Fives: We have to wait until the time is right. We can't risk having Eren transform now.

Jesse: Then how do we know if or when he'll ever transform?

Fives had to think about it. It's currently impossible to have Eren transform now. But if Eren doesn't transform at all and wasted his 13 years, then Grisha’s sacrifice would be in vain.

Fives: We’ll have to play the long game on this one. We can't risk it.

Jesse: And the other titan shifters?

Fives: Unfortunately, it's the same thing. If we were to capture them now, the possibility of them transforming and causing chaos is dangerously high. It's better to keep surveillance on them.

Jesse: What about the girl among them?

Fives: That's where I'm having trouble with. If the girl is with them, she might be a shifter. But at the same time, we didn't see another strange Titan.

Jesse: You think she's not like them?

Fives: Yeah, it's possible. Is there more you want to ask?

Jesse: That's all I got for today. Let's switch back to op channel.

They switched back and continued on their patrol.

Even with the help of the rations from the clones. The refugees were sent to the wastelands to raise more food for the future. However, their attempt was futile as no food was made. Then the following year, 846, the refugees who were old enough and uninjured to serve in the military were given a task to reclaim Wall Maria. The 501st offered to help, but were rejected and the government stated that they have enough manpower to reclaim it. The 501st knew it's a suicidal operation, but accepted their decision. They felt betrayed and frustrated in secret. The refugees who served felt sorry for them and somewhat guilty. That their bravery and heroism in Wall Maria was all for nothing.
