Unravel Me - Attack on Titan/Tokyo Ghoul Crossover

Chapter 12- A Catch 22

After the whole ordeal transpired I was taken in to the Survey Corp. and questioned for my involvement with what they were hoping was to be their new testing experiment. As I walked I was immediately questioned and looked upon as four soldiers from the Survey Corp. including the man that saved us. The blonde one looked up at me and smiled a bit too sweetly at me. He beckoned me to come in to discuss things with him about Eren. "Well come in sit we wouldn't want you to negotiate Eren's future standing up." "No sir I believe I'll stand."

His expression darkened before me. It was as if he knew I just myth busted his whole scheme with a smile on top of it. "Listen all we want is to-" "Use Eren not only to help 'humanity' but to also work him essentially like a slave. You don't plain just to use him to help humanity , but to also run him into the round while doing it. Isn't that right commander?" "You seem to be a bit hostile with the way you word my plans." "It isn't hostile if it's true. However riddle me this. Let's assume he says yes and becomes your little lab monkey how are the rest of the people in the walls suppose to react to something like this. You must have thought this through. I mean an over aggressive boy who has the power to turn into a titan who almost compromised a mission and indirectly wounded and killed many soldiers seems more like a threat rather than a savior for humanity. What happens if he decides to go rogue, what happens when his powers don't work anymore, and what happens when he ceases being of use to you? What will you do with this weapon then?" 

Everyone stared at me although I went and yanked their chair from underneath them. It wasn't good for them. Not one bit. The short man tried to stand 'strong' and 'tall' in front of me. "We are going to kill him if he becomes a problem." I began to walk toward him with slow long strides.  I looked down on him like the little boy he was. "Ohh big boy. Your a big boy with your big pants and a big sword that you swing around. If it's so easy to kill why keep him around in the first place if it's becoming a hinderance. Why keep him around in the first place?" This caused him to begin to shrink under my gaze. He wasn't frightened per say but he was intimidated at least. You could tell too he was losing his footing and stature underneath me like the child he was. The blonde one then tried to bring my attention back to him and to stop terrorizing his so called 'right hand man' and his so called 'Humanity's Strongest'. (If he's shriveling up under me imagine how he acts around those 40 ft beasts.) "You have proven your point. You've straw-manned argumented us and have won. What do you want? Is it money, a comfy job in the interior?" As I twisted my body to face his I softly smiled. "I just want to warn you to tread carefully." I then preceded to walk towards the door, but just as I was about to leave  I twisted my head so he could meet my gaze. "Oh and Mr.Commander Sir you have to know one thing of me before we precede with your plans. I don't give a shit about money."

I met up with the others as I had the give in my 3DMG. I stood next to Annie as a conversation ensued. I blanked it all out until Annie gave a gentle shake to my shoulder. I don't know what happened, whether it was just shock or second nature but I grabbed her wrist and was about to break it until her soft whimpering broke me out of it. "Sorry, it an instinct thing I guess." I gently begin to rub her hand to somewhat easy the pain on her wrist. It lessened it but the red marks from my grip were still visible. "So what were you talking about?" I slightly cringed to myself as I realized how quickly and awkward that change in subject matter was. "I was asking you if someone told you to die would you do it?" I slightly shook my head and then preceded to  answer her question. "It's simple... No. However with what you are asking of them it's like a Catch 22." She raised her eyebrow slightly in question. "Enlighten me." " Catch 22 a  dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions. It's like saying you want to do this but in doing this you are going against your wishes thus making either their wish or what they're doing invalid and also having no way to escape it since you are stuck between a hard place and a rock. Or in this place not wanting to be told to die, but still joining the Survey Corp. taking orders from your leader to be possibly maimed or killed all for the safety of fellow flees." 

She smirked a bit and chuckled softly. "If only more 'flees' spoke like you."

We were then taken to the center stage after the inspection. We were also given a speech by yours truly from before. Most were quaking in their boots scared because of the thought of death looming above their heads. All of them were scared little pussies. All of them fearing the fact that if they joined this cult like section of the army they would die. However after the speech when asked if they were willing to stay or leave only a very minute portion of the 'soldiers' were left to show their 'strength'. How ironic. However if this was to be the state of things from now on it'll be very quick to get things done and over with. Either with them dying or with them 'miraculously' completing their mission. But with that aside the quicker I get out of here the quicker I could return to Tokyo to hunt down the sad excuse for a survivor who took my dear sister's organs.

A/N Sorry guys for being so inactive, but school's a bitch. Anyway I am thinking of releasing two more fan fictions. One's based off of Mr.Robot and the other will be based off of Watch_Dogs 2. So check them out and see if you like it if you don't give me some criticism. It would be much appreciated. Anyway again sorry for the lack of updating and if you have any concerns or questions about this story or the others comment down below or PM me. Thanks.
