Zuri: Attack On Titan

Realization

     The light, followed by smoke, surrounds me. Then red muscle. It builds, and I can barely see. But I can tell that the light and smoke still surrounds me. *What in Armin's name is happening?!* I think, terrified. Then this sense of anguish takes over. I fight it, thinking that I have to beat it. It feels odd, fighting your own mind. Finally, the sense disappears.

       I stand. It seems to happen really slowly. *I'm the fastest person in my District,* I think. *Why is everything suddenly so slow?* The sense suddenly comes back. It surprises me, overwhelming me. I'm still in control, but it seems... Different.

     I realize that I'm on the ground on the other side of Wall Rose, looking up at the Colossal Titan. Even through the fear of being so close clouds my mind, thoughts still seep through my brain. *Is it just me, or is that Titan smaller than before?* I think. Im still staring up as the Titan looks down. It freezes in place, staring at me. Instinct tells me to move, but I don't. The Titan raises his foot. It stops, and the foot moves until its above me.

    Then I notice that its barely above my head, but we are above the base of the wall. Tearing my attention away from the Colossal Titan, I look down at myself. I freeze.

My feet are VERY far below me. More surprising than that, I don't have clothes on. I'm about 15 meters tall.

I've become a Titan.

     The foot starts moving down to crush me. But I don't move. *Oh God.. What? This is.. Huh? Im a Titan? What? Why? How? What is going on?* The questions distract me from saving myself as the foot continues to move. It just touches my head as it stops. I tear my mind from the questions and turn my head.

       There is Titan Eren, pushing the foot upwards with his rippling-with-muscle arms. Wounds are opening up all over him. My body not taking orders from my mind, My Titan joins Eren in pushing upwards. The Colossal Titan is sent stumbling back, crushing several other normal Titans in the process. I look over Eren, his rippling muscles. My mind races as I realize I'm taller than he is, and he's a Titan.

    The Colossal Titan regains his footing. But he doesn't come forward. He is surrounded by steam. I cover my huge eyes with a huge peach hand to guard them. When I open them, the Colossal Titan is gone, and a regular 10 meter Titan is rushing towards me. I look over to see Eren is gone, fighting another Titan. I look back at the 10 meter. The feeling pushes me completely away. My Titan body rushes forward and crushes the 10 Meter. I let out a roar, my hands palm-up and clenching. My roar, though not as deep as Eren's, stops all the other Titans in their tracks.

They start coming at me.

My eyes scan over the crowd of Titans rushing over to me. Some are my size, others are smaller. Eren follows the crowd of Titans, and so do the other Scout Regiment warriors. I lock eyes with Eren. Im taken aback to hear his voice, though it sounds a little distorted.

    ~Zuri Is a Titan Shifter? No, that's impossible. Zuri is Armin's old friend. Weak, little Zuri that protected Armin when they were younger. Of course, I didn't know about my Titan abilities..~

  I think, hoping that he hears me.

~ I can hear your thoughts, Eren.~

He flinches, his dark eyes and visible teeth keeping his face that angry expression.

~ So Zuri, isn't this neat? Your 15 meters tall and you have wings.~ His voice sounds angry and sarcastic.

My big eyes blink as I crush the skull of a 3 meter with my foot.

~ Sorry, are those glowing eyes not reliable for a big old 15 meter like you? Or am I such a big idiot that I don't notice wings on my back? ~

~ Well, I guess your such a big idiot that you don't notice wings on your back. Now let me suggest something. The Titans are following you. That roar you made drew them to you. Why don't you try a little bird fly and lead them a bit farther away from the gate? Save humanity and be a big nice hero.~

     While I ponder his words,  my Titan mind takes over again as Im pushed aside. I feel a harsh wind. I feel my huge feet lifted off the ground as I glide over the crowd of Titans. Getting a bit of control, I crane my neck to see the alleged wings on my back.

     And there they are. The top is a coal black, and as my eyes went down the glossed, angelic feathers, they faded to a grey, and then white. *Ironic,* I think. *Angelic Wings on a Titan.* I land, getting control. I whirl around to see the Titans following, their creepy smiles beaming with joy at cornering their prey. Just like Eren thought.

I fight the best I can. I see flashes of blood, glowing green eyes, fists, sword blades, and the dead both Titans and limbs of humans. I don't know how long we had been fighting when I see Eren turn towards Wall Rose. He begins walking toward it. Then running. Scouts are using their Devices to scale the wall. I push the rest (which is very few) of the Titans out of my way and follow Eren.

He ducks into the gate. I hit my head on the Wall before doing the same. As soon as I enter, I hear very many guns being cocked and ready to shoot. I survey the crowd of both Garrison Regiment and Survey Corps. I feel my large jaw slightly drop at the sight of a certain Garrison Regiment soldier.

     My father has a gun pointed right at me.
