Eren's PoV

I Sit On The Bed In My Cell and I Look Up At One Of The Military Police Members and I Say, "Excuse Me.... I Need To Use The Bathroom" He Glares At Me and Growls. "You Just Went" I Look Between Them Both and I Plead, "Can I Have Some Water, Please" The Other One Glares At Me and Barks, "Hey. Remember Your Place.... You Monster" I Sigh and Look Down At My Feet.

I Look Up When I Head The Jingling Of Keys and I See Two People That I Have Never Seen Before. The Woman Smiles and Says, "Eren, I'm Sorry We Kept You Waiting. But It Looks Like You Can Finally Get Out Of Here" I Perk Up At This and I Smile. They Let Me Out and We Begin Walking Somewhere.

The Woman Walks Next To Me and Says, "I'm Hanji Zoe, A Squad Leader In The Survey Corps and He's...." The Man Starts Sniffing Me and I Stiffen Slightly and Hanji Continues, "He's Mike Zacharias, Also A Squad Leader. He Always Smells People When He First Meets Them... and Then Sneers. It Probably Doesn't Mean Anything. Believe Me, His Skill As A Squad Leader Outweighs His Quirks.... Oh! Sorry.... I Talk Too Much. This Is It Already, But Don't Worry! Actually, Maybe It's Better That I Don't Explain. Just Tell Them How You Feel. Maybe I Shouldn't Say This But All We Can Do Is Believe In You" I Look At The Doors and I Gulp.

I Get Taken Into A Court Room and My Eyes Widen In Fear. A Military Police Member Pushes His Gun Into My Back and Growls, "Keep Walking Slowly" I Get Led Into A Fenced Off Area and I Notice A Hole In The Ground. The Military Police Member Places His Hand On My Shoulder and Snaps, "Get Down There" I Kneel Down and They Shackle Me To A Pole and Then Walk Off.

I Look Around The Room and My Eyes Widen When I See Mikasa, Armin and Danielle.

I Look Up When I Hear A Chair Rattle and I See The Leader Of All Three Military Branches, Commander-In-Chief Darius Zackely. Darius Sits Down and Grunts, "Well.... Let's Begin" He Picks Up A Sheet Of Paper and Looks At Me.

"You Are Eren Yeager, Yes? As A Soldier, You've Pledged Your Life To Serve The Public, Correct?" He Asks In A Gruff Voice. I Nod "Yes Sir" I Answer With Confidence In My Voice. The Man Nods and He Continues, "Regular Law Cannot Apply In These Exceptional Circumstances Therefore, This Will Be A Military Tribunal. Ultimate Authority Has Been Entrusted To Me... Even Your Life. Now I Will Ask You Only Once. Do You Have Any Objections?"

I Shake My Head and Answer, "No Sir!" Darius Nods Again and Grunts, "I'm Glad That You Understand. Now, This Unprecedented Case Has Given Rise To Many Confliction, Passionate Arguments Behind These Walls. There Are Those Who Call You A Demon That Will Lead Us To Destruction and Others Consider You A Hero Who Will Bring Hope To The Human Race. As Expected, It Proved Impossible To Hide Your Existence From The General Public. When We Are Eventually Forced To Make An Official Announcement About You, It Will Inevitably Produce A New Threat In Addition To The Titans" His Eyes Roam Over The Paper and Then He Looks At Me.

He Shifts In His Seat and Continues, "As Expected, It Proved Impossible To Hide Your Existence From The General Public. That Decision Will Determine How You Are Dealt With. We're Here To Decide Which Branch Of The Military Will Be Responsible For Your Activities. The Military Police Brigade Or The Survey Corps. We'll Hear From The Military Police Brigade First"

I Turn My Head To Look At The Military Police and I Hear, "I Am Chief Nile Dawk Of The Military Police Brigade and We Believe That Eren's Body Should Be Thoroughly Examined After Which It Should Be Disposed Of Without Delay. Careful Consideration Of The Grave Damage That Validating His Existence Would Cause Led Us To This Conclusion. Those Who Hold The Reins Of Power In The Centre Regard Him As A Threat. Yet Despite The Current Situation, Those People, Including The Royal Family, Have Stuck To Their Policy Of Non-Interference In The Matters Outside The Wall, Just As They Did Five Years Ago."
