Trained To Kill

Prologue: The Titan That Saved My Mother

(Author's Note: Since the Attack Titan does have any special abilities other than "fighting for freedom", I've decided that, through the experimentations he's been through with his three friends, the Attack Titan's new ability is Feed, a power that forces the user to actively hunt down Titans to drain them of their "life-juice" through their napes. This not only keeps them alive, but as long as the Attack Titan keeps feeding on normal, mindless Titans, it can be retained for as long as the user wishes. Without feeding, the Attack Titan can only be usable on a time limit of an hour. If Feed is used on another Titan Shifter's Titan, however, the Attack Titan can gain their traits in the current Titan body the user has summoned. For example, if Raymond went up against the Female Titan and fed on it, the Titan body he has currently summoned will gain the ability to use the Female Titan's crystalization ability. However, since this benefit of the power only affects the current body, it's downfall is that it's only temporary. The user would have to feed again on that same Titan should another Attack Titan be summoned.)

*CRACKLE*

*BOOM*

I yelled out as the ground shook uncontrollably all of a sudden, bouncing off the side of the riverbank I sat on. Mikasa and Armin fell beside me as I landed back on the concrete, grunting as I smacked down head-first. The whole town went silent after the rumbling stopped, allowing us to stand.

"Wh-What the...?"

"An explosion?"
I looked down an alley to the streets, seeing a guy pointing towards the outer wall.

"It came from there!"

"Seems like something fell."
"I have no idea."

I stared at them for a second before Armin went after them.

"Hey, Armin!"
I ran after him with Mikasa right behind me. We caught up to him as he was standing amidst the crowd, gawking at something on top of the wall.

"Armin, what's wrong?! What are you staring at?"

I turned my head up to meet where his gaze was locked, soon finding myself in a similar position. There, on the wall itself, was a giant, meaty, muscle-like hand, gripping the entire top.

"No way... That was is 50 meters tall!"
I slowly widened my eyes when I realized.

"It's them..."
A giant head peeked over the wall, looking down at everyone as I mouthed out.

"A Titan."

I watched in awe as its head leaned down a bit, then flexed up at a quicker rate.

*BOOM*
I held my arms above my face as a shockwave nearly took the three of us out, rubble and stones raiding the town from the destroyed gates of the wall. Armin brushed the dust from his eyes, his lip quivering as he stared at the gigantic hole bashed into the only thing keeping the Titans out of our home.

"Th-They blew a h-hole into the wall."

*STOMP... STOMP*
I gritted my teeth as the first Titans came through the hole, stepping into the town of Shiganshina.

"They're coming inside!"
"The Titans are coming!"
Screams and wails riddled the streets as it turned to chaos in a matter of seconds.

*CRACKLE*

*BOOM*

Another strike of golden lightning hit inside the town this time, one that was already crowded with the giant naked humanoids. The giant Titan looked in its direction, seeing another Titan rise up in the midst of the others, it's tan skin blending it in with the crowd of giants as the people fled as fast as they could, some getting captured and devoured in the process of running away. I spotted one of the giant boulders in the direction of my home, widening my eyes.
