Zuri: Attack On Titan

Zuri.. What?

(This Part Will be from Eren's point of view.)

        I stare up at the beige-and-purple Titan, wishing I could keep the awe on my face hidden. Mikasa stands a foot in front of me, her knuckles white on the handles of her swords. I watch the Titan scramble from the hole in the earth, and fly above the unit with pure grace, though every slash through the air with her wings sends down a gust that threatens to blow us off our feet. There is only one thing that I hate about the Titan.

      The Titan is Zuri.

        I had known it was her when she transformed under the Colossal Titan's foot, from the way she looked at me. Other than that I saw her fall and transform on Wall Rose. When I met Armin, Zuri had been with him, probably the only reason he wasn't dead when I got to him. But it still didn't make sense, who she was then and who she is now.

     She is much prettier than she was when she was a child.

       I mean, the sayings are that ugly babies turn out to be adorable people, right? *Oh God..* I think. *Im.. I'm not falling for Zuri.. Am I?!* I think, panicked as I look up at the flying Titan, then Mikasa. *If thats true, and Mikasa found out..*

      Hanji squeals, zooming down from the Titan shoulder. "It's amazing!" Hanji says. "She really is Humanity's next weapon against the Titans!" I huff, dropping my hand. I look back up at the Titan, the black ends of her wings slashing through the air, her pure white eyes glowing. She seems to be watching us, since her head is tilted down, but it is nearly impossible to see where she is looking when she has no iris' or pupils whatsoever.

        Hanji turns to me. "Apparently, she can transform on command. Which could lead to some issues." She says. "If we put Zuri in human form on the battle field with other soldiers near, if she draws blood, would she turn into a Titan?"

     I stare at her blankly for a moment before shrugging. "We know as much as Zuri does about her new Titan form, which is almost nothing." I say. "Before her, we didn't even think to wonder if Wings and Titans mixed. Now we have that." I state, pointing up at the hovering Titan, who was beginning to descend.

      We all watch her as she lands, bending her back a bit before standing upright, staring at us all. Her eyes glow a bright white, her brown hair falling in many meters down her back and over her shoulders. "Get a haircut!" Armin yells out in the silence. The gigantic lips curve up in a smile as the Titan nods her head.

      The wings on her back fold in like a birds, and The Titan leans back in a breaking position to put her hand on the ground behind her. She slowly slinks to the ground, crossing her legs beneath her in a criss-cross position. She leans forward a bit, so her wings don't brush loudly and harshly against the ground.

     Hanji slams her grapple into the shoulder, zooming up onto the wide bone next to the neck. She leans on a purple slash in the neck, and the Titan stiffens, as if not to tilt and crush little Hanji. She steps back to the side of the shoulder, and pulls out a string. she places the end on the shoulder, then shoots onto the head, which Zuri flinches to when the grapple embeds itself in her scalp. "FOUR AND A HALF METERS!" Hanji yells down. Armin pulls out a piece of paper and an inked feather and writes something down.

       Hanji slices through the string with her sword, and pulls out more from the wound of the thick spool. She throws the spool off of Zuri's shoulder, and then slams her sword into the end of the string and down into the muscle of the shoulder. The Titan turns her head away before letting out a sigh, though it sounds pained. *Pff, Wimp.* I think. *Try carrying a boulder that is crushing you to a pulp.*

      Hanji swings down, measuring. "12 AND A HALF METERS!" She yells, and Armin scribbles something. "So.." Armin says, looking up. "She's taller than you in Titan form, Eren!" He says, looking appalled. "But.. That doesn't make sense." I say, stepping forward. "In her last shift, Zuri was shorter than me, when the Colossal Titan attacked."

      *No, that can't be right... Can it?*

     Hanji walks forward, scratching her head, her device clinking loudly against her hips. "I guess Zuri must've grown since then." She says thoughtfully. "But that doesn't make sense either!" I yell. "I grew two inches over from the first time I shifted and my most recent, yet my Titan hasn't grown a bit!" Hanji seems to consider this, rubbing her cheek, and she straightens her glasses on her nose. "Well, Im unable to explain it at the moment, because we know almost nothing about The Winged Titan." She says thoughtfully. "But perhaps she just grows the more she gets the hang of her Titan form. Who knows! She could end up taller than the Colossal Titan if that's the case." She looks up. "And that would make her an even more useful asset."

       "If you'll excuse me, I have one more measurement to make." She says, zooming up onto The Winged Titan's shoulder before any of us could answer, she walks around to the back of the Titan, out of view. There is a loud sound of sliding weaponry before the Titan lets out a screech of pain. It echoes loudly through the field. I stare at her face, which is scrunched in pain. I watch in shock as her eyes turn a bright, glowing blue.

Her arm swings back, and there is a human scream as she attempts to grab Hanji. Without thinking, a bring my hand to my mouth.

And I bite so hard that I draw blood.
