The Devils Inside

The Devils Inside - Chapter 2

Danielle's PoV

Once We Make It Into The Base, I Get Tackled By Someone. I Grin Thinking Its Annie But I Immediately Realize That It's Elizabeth When She Punches Me In The Face. I Growl and I Kick Her Off Of Me and She Crashes Into A Filing Cabinet. She Stands Up and Yells, "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IT?! I'M SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU!" I Smirk Cockily and I Say, "Clearly Not. Have Fun In The Internment Zone". Elizabeth Roars In Anger But Stops When Her Armband Gets Ripped Off.

We Both Look Up At Magath and He Says, "Go Home Elizabeth. The Punishment For Striking A Marley Warrior Is Being Relieved Of Duty. But The Punishment For Striking The Leader Is 14 Weeks In The Dungeons and Being Relieved Of Duty. You Are Very Lucky That It Isn't Death" Elizabeth Glares At Me and Growls, "This Isn't Over Redwolf!"

I Chuckle and Say, "I Think It Is" Elizabeth Walks Out With A Grunt Of Defiance and Magath Says, "Congratulations Danielle. Annie Told Me You Were Anxious About This But There Really Was No Need To Be." I Nod, and I Say, "Thank You Sir" He Smiles and Says, "Now Get Some Rest. You Have To Deal With An Enemy Nation To Test Your Powers" I Nod and Say, "Yes Sir" and He Walks Out and Closed The Door.

I Walk Over To The Closed Door Where I Hear Chattering Coming From Behind and I Push Open The Door and Everyone Stands To Attention. I Raise A Brow and I Say, "What Are You Guys Doing Right Now?" Reiner Looks At Me and Says, "Greeting You Formally, Sir!" Zeke Rests His Hand On My Shoulder and Says, "You Better Get Used To It. You Are The Leader Of The Warriors." I Nod and Say, "At Ease" They All Sit Back Down and I Walk Over To One Of The Bunks In The Corner and I Sit Down.

I Take Off My Boots and I Hear, "I Guess A Congratulations Is In Order?" I Look Up and I See Annie. She Passes Me A Bottle Of Limeade and Sits Next To Me. I Take A Gulp Out Of Mine and I Say, "Well I Guess We Better Get Some Rest Huh?" Annie Nods and Says, "Yeah. I'll Talk To You Tomorrow, Boss" I Watch As My Best Friend Gets Up and Climbs Into The Bunk Above Mine and I Sigh and Gulp Down The Rest Of My Drink and I Throw The Empty Bottle In The Trash. I Pull Off My Jacket and My Pants So I'm Only Left In A White T-Shirt and Black Boxers. I Pull On A Pair Of Shorts and Reiner Says, "Night You Two" Annie Mumbles An Incoherent Night From Her Bed and I Say, "Night Reiner" and I Climb Into Bed and Fall Asleep.

The Next Morning

Magath's PoV

I Watch As The Warrior Candidates Begin Attacking The Enemy Nation and I Observe Every Titan and I Say, "Wonderful. They Turned Out Even Better Than Expected"

The Female Titan

An All-Purpose Unit, Capable In Every Field.

In Addition To High Mobility and Endurance, The Titans Hardening Abilities Combined With Leonhardt's Striking Makes For An Incredible Destructive Force.

She's Also Able To Summon Pure Titans, Though Her Range Is Limited.

As You Can See, The Armoured Titan Is One That Specializes In Hardening Abilities.

One Slam Of That Body Should Destroy Both Walls and Doors.

As A Titan Who Will Act As Marley's Shield and Absorb Attacks...Well, Braun's Stoic Nature Fits The Role.

I Watch As The Armoured Wolf Titan Barrels Through The Buildings Sending Soldiers and Civilians Flying In All Directions.

The Armoured Wolf Titan Is Basically All The Titan Powers Combined Into One. Just Like Ymir Fritz Herself. Not Much Is Known About Clan Redwolf But Ymir Fritz Is Danielle's Ancestor. They Have A Closer Ancestry To Each Other Than The Eldians Do. A Redwolf Soldier Is Rare and As Danielle Is The Last Living Redwolf We Have Taken Extra Precautions When It Comes To Engineering This Titan Just For Her.

The Jaw Titan Is An Assault Unit.

Its Small Size Makes It The Swiftest Of All. It's Powerful Nails and Jaws Can Crush Just About Anything.

We Have Entrusted It To The Quick-Witted Marcel

The Beast Titan Is The Same As Ever.

It's a Bit Larger Than The Others But A Bit Smaller Than The Armoured Wolf Titan But That's Far From All.

Who Would Have Thought That Its Throwing Abilities Could Become Such An Awe-Inspiring Weapon...

Most Of All, There Is The Power Hidden In His Blood

The "Boy Wonder" Has Given Us A Miracle.

The Cart Titan, With Its Unusually High Endurance, Is Well Suited To Long Missions. This Allows Us To Equip It With Armaments, Expanding The Variety Of Tactics At Our Disposal.

Giving It To Pieck, Who Shows Strong Judgment, Is Surely The Right Move.

And

The Colossus Titan

It Is A God Of Destruction.

It Almost Makes Me Feel Sympathy For Those Island Devils

"That Thing Is Going To Show Up One Day Out Of Nowhere and Start Killing Them" I Look Over At My Comrade and I Say, "Yes, Our New Warrior Unit Is More Powerful That It Was In The Past. Training Them Since Infancy Has Paid Off" I Sigh and Continue "But I Still Have Doubts About The Army's Decision. Entrusting The Plan To Retake The Founder To Five Children? It Just Doesn't Seem Sane To Me" He Smirks and Says, "Oh? But Those Very Children, Just Now Crushed An Entire Nation Before Our Eyes" I Nod and We Head Back To Base.

Back At Base:

Danielle's PoV

I Stand Next To Annie and Magath Says, "Beast, Cartman, You Are Needed Here To Threaten The Enemy Nations Into Submission. You Will Not Participate In This Mission. So, The Plan To Retake The Founder Will Be Carried Out By The Jaw, Armor, Colossus, Female and Armoured Wolf Titans." He Looks At Us and Says, "Danielle, Annie, Marcel, Bertholdt and Reiner. We Leave This To You"

I Lean On The Table and I Hear, "WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO TO GET PICKED?! YOU WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING GROUP SO WHY WOULD THEY PICK YOU OVER ME?!" I Look At The Two Boys and Reiner Says, "This Just Means That You Were At The Bottom Of The Group, Eh Pock?" Porco Growls and Screams, "YOU LITTLE-"

I Grab His Wrist and I Say, "Enough. You'll Get Your Shot Pock Just Not This Time." He Looks At Me With A Blazing Fire In His Eyes and Marcel Says, "Porco? Are You Disobeying The Military's Decision?" Porco Grunts and He Walks Off With Marcel. I Look At Reiner and I Say, "You Fucking Behave Yourself Or We Are Going To Have A Problem Braun" He Nods and Says, "Yes Sir"

Time Skip:

I Sit In The Carriage Next To Annie and I Watch As The Crowd Rolls By. Annie Nudges Me and Nods Towards A Woman Staring At Me. Our Blue Eyes Meet and I Gasp, "Mum?" Annie Grabs My Shoulder and Says, "Sit Down Until After" I Nod and Slouch In The Chair Again.

After We Are Paraded Through The Streets Like Cattle, I Follow The Path My Mother Took. I Slam Open A Door and I Say, "Ma?" She Turns Around and Says, "Danielle...." Tears Brim In My Eyes and I Say, "Papa Told Me You Died.... He Blamed Me" I Run Into Her Open Arms and She Says, "Oh My Brave Little Girl. I'm So, So Sorry That I Left You With That Vile Man. But You Won't Have To Live With Him Anymore Because Your Father Was Found Dead This Morning." I Whimper Into Her Chest and I Hear, "Danielle? We Have To Go" I Turn My Head and I Nod.

I Pull Away From My Mother and She Says, "I Believe In You. I'll Be Waiting For You" I Nod and Say, "Goodbye Ma" She Kisses My Head and Hangs A Necklace Around My Neck. She Kisses My Head Again and Murmurs, "For Good Luck" I Nod and I Follow Annie To The Boat.

I Lean Against The Rails and I Hear People Shout, "OUR CHOSEN WARRIORS! SAVE US FROM THOSE DEVILS ON THE ISLAND!" I Stand Next To Annie and She Says, "Are You Alright?" I Nod and Say, "Yeah" She Nods and I Stand There Stoically As My Brain Becomes Clouded With Thoughts.

My Father Lied To Me For 9 Years. I Don't Feel Any Emotions Towards His Death and I Don't Think I Ever Will, But I Do Know That I Have A Mother Who Loves and Cares For Me. I Also Know That Marley Has Just Released Devils That Can't Be Contained. The People Of Eldia Better Watch Their Backs Because We Are Coming and We Won't Rest Until We Take Back What's Ours.
