Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Charles could hardly hear the words of Shena or anyone calling to him. He was simply scared instinct told him that he had to run in order to survive just like it did beyond the walls whenever one wanted to escape the Titans wrath. Urging the horse which he rode forward with every snap of the harness, the male peeked behind himself for just a second to see who was in tow. Sure enough it was just the man that he thought would be the closest behind. What surprised him was that neither Shena and Mikasa where in view at all. Had the two not even come after him? Had they been unable to keep up? Or worse did their sudden attempt to chase him end up causing one of them a serious injury? Despite his actions up until that point, the one that he wanted to happen the least was that last one. He had to get ahead of that man, not because he couldnt fight him, but because he didnt want him to get hurt when he transformed. Though Charles had the feeling that he would need even the surprise of his transformation in order to stand a chance again this Captain Levi. Damn it all Hey you I am about do something that is going to cause a large blast wave get back if you dont want to die!!! His words where yelled out at the Captain about five seconds before Charles pulled out his trench knife and cut across the top of his hand creating a deep wound. Within seconds the area around him was covered with large blast wave of heat that spread out like a bubble. His warning had been heeded unknowingly to Charles at that time, by Captain Levi who had heard what Eren said before leaving the base to go after the outsider. While he found it strange and foolish of the man to give away the element of surprise like that, it gave Levi the time he needed to spin and turn his gas and hooks backwards to try and start reversing direction. Being hit by only the tail end of the explosion and coming to land with a skidding turn on his feet in the road way. Reloading his broken swords, the man hooked up into a nearby tree and waited to see what would come from Charles Titan form. Suddenly out of no were and moving with a quick speed the entire tree just under Levis branch disappeared as a large form skidded across the ground behind it. The Captain reacted instantly, sending his hook up towards the giants shoulder only to have it grabbed as he almost reached his goal. Even though as the now visible and ghostly white Titans hand tried to hang onto Levis steel cable, the Captain spun through the air slicing up the beast hand and freeing its grip. Still the slack meant he would need another place to hook into and so activating his air he shot around Charles back, noting out of the corner of his eye a hardened cover over the nape of the neck. By this point even Charles was realizing how truly fast his enemy was, but he had a trump card that Levi couldnt predict. Suddenly his good hand swung up and cut across the fleshy stitches covering his mouth, and it opened to reveal a mouth full of jagged sharp teeth. From which a piercing scream came, one that would shatter the ear drums and stun the systems of most who heard it, including Titans. Given Levis range the Captain had no choice, but to cover his ears, and that allowed Charles to catch him halfway in his wide open jaws. While the mouth hold was gentle enough not to harm the human, it ended up blocking the sound. Levi who was in the heat of battle didnt hesitate to ram one of his swords through one of Charles eyes. However the Titan didnt let go, and after hardening his good hand with long claws he pulled Levi from his mouth and used his pinky to cut away and toss down to the ground the Captains 3DMG. A voice came from his mouth that was shaky and disjointed as he stared at Levi in his hand hold, I knew you were the only apex predator here who could take on this mad dog. Oh and what have we here another pup you guys have trained to be just like me. Levi of course said nothing --- Eren had jump on and speed off instantly on the first horse that had been offered to him by Erwin. The Commander also gave him permission to his Titan form, if and only if what he thought about the outsider turned out to be true. To be honest Eren hoped that this wasnt the case, because there was a chance this person could be something they had never seen before. That would mean that the Captain would be alone against it, and as powerful as Levi was Eren wondered how strong a more experienced person who could shift into a Titan would be. Levis threats about being able to kill him easily made sense given his inexperience, but what about something with a bit more fighting skill? Plus this situation, it seemed like it gave the stranger the advantage after a nice long restful cart ride. All of these thoughts only made the private speed up that much more, as he looked back behind him hoping that Mikasa and the others would follow. Backup would be nice right now, as well as maybe a way to end this peacefully, but he wouldnt hesitate to kill Charles if he had to. Off in the distance he saw what he had been dreading, the tale tail sign of someone shifting into a Titan. The same large explosion that others said he himself had shown whenever he had shifted. The only question now was, what was Charles purpose, and they could only hope it was for self-defense and that the Captain would be ok on his own. Every second that it took getting to the battlefield made Eren grow more anxious until he couldnt take it anymore, leaping from his horse the young man ran forward a bit before biting hard into his hand and then suddenly his entire form changed as well. Erens roared out as he Titanzed in a way to challenge and attract Charles attention, and at the same time to let his allies know that he had transformed, meaning the stranger was indeed a Titan as they had thought. Running forward it didnt take long for him to catch up to the sense of the fight, and what he found stopped him in his tracks as he saw the Captain in the other mans grip. One of Charles hands cut to pieces and an eye gouged out showed Levi had given as good as he got, but in the end the outsider had managed to capture humanities strongest solider. Taking a step forward he then saw Charles put a thumb behind Levis head and gently squeeze causing the other to grit his teeth and try not to verbalize the pain. Charles broken voice spoke to Eren and anyone who had caught up, His life is in my hands I dont want to kill Never wanted to hurt anyone Scared Run like I did on outside Fight like on outside Now I will talk unlike on outside But I will kill him and as many of you as I can before you put me in chains You called those on your jacket the Wings of Freedom Shena prove it to me dont lock me up please dont hurt I am not your enemy nor a threat. Pausing he let a smoky breath slip out of his mouth and almost in a gesture of good faith, Charles knelled down and placed Levi on his feet. Letting the man go, as he continued, If it must be so then I can make your enemy my enemy as well wouldnt that make us friends Commander Erwin? With those words Charles crouched down, and placed his good hand on the ground, and stared at everyone who had gathered. Should he desire he could still try to do his frog like pounce and slam headfirst into Erens gut and take a big chuck out with his teeth. However he was mostly regarding Shena and Mikasa as though asking them for help in some manner
