Asura and Eren were silent, but they both could feel the tension in the air.
Asura knew the look in everyone's eyes all too well, as well as the smell that came with it.
Fear.
They were afraid of him and Eren, afraid of what they could do if they transformed.
(They should be.) He thought.
"My specialty..." Mikasa said. "Is cutting flesh. Whether human or Titan. I am more than willing to demonstrate my specialty to you here and now."
"Mikasa, that's not helping!" Asura hissed. "How will threatening them help us in any capacity!?"
Kitz babbled about how there were many witnesses to Asura and Eren emerging from the bodies of the Titans they were in.
However, Asura had to speak now. "Captain, are we being charged with doing our jobs!?" He asked. "Because, while our comrades were fighting and dying to Titans, you and a handful of seasoned soldiers fled Trost with your tails between your legs!"
"SILENCE!" Kitz screamed. "DO NOT SPEW YOUR FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF ME DESERTING THE BATTLEFIELD! I LEFT TO SECURE THE INTERIOR!"
"The soldiers you threatened said otherwise, sir!" Asura countered. "They told my friends that you and your squad fled Trost when the call to retreat sounded off! You fled your post, Captain! AND LEFT COUNTLESS SOLDIERS TO DIE! IF ANYTHING, THAT MAKES YOU A COWARD!"
Kitz tried to retort Asura, but the words caught in his throat. But a minute later he asked his question again.
"I'LL ASK THIS ONE MORE TIME! WHAT ARE YOU!?" He screamed.
Asura started chuckling, before he broke out into laughter. "Is it not obvious?" He asked. "I'm the Demon of the Walls!"
All present grew terrified expressions at the revelation.
"Th-The Demon!?" A soldier exclaimed. "But, Th-that's a myth! A legend!"
"I am the Demon... BUT I'M ALSO HUMAN!" Asura shouted. "We both are!"
Asura caught his breath, then looked at Mikasa and gave her a small nod.
Mikasa returned the gesture, knowing what it meant.
"I see..." Kitz said. "Please, don't think less of me... I'm only doing what needs to be done..."
Without another word, he raised his hand into the air, alerting the cannon operators to get ready to fire.
"LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" Asura shouted.
Mikasa grabbed Eren, and ran for the Wall.
But, Eren had other ideas, as he struggled out of Mikasa's grasp and ran towards Armin.
As the cannon fired, time seemed to slow down. Eren brought his hand to his mouth, and bit down on the knuckle of his thumb.
A large bolt of lightning struck as a massive hand reached out and stopped the cannon shot.
The explosion kicked up dust, as the sound alerted everyone within earshot that something happened.
The dust began to settle, as the Garrison soldiers readied themselves for battle.
What they saw shook them all.
Where, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, and Asura stood was the upper torso, arm and head of a Titan.
And that should do it. Sorry this one was so short, but I literally couldn't think of anything else. As always though, comment, rate and leave advice so I can improve. Next chapter out soon. Have a good night guys.
