Scouting a New Life – Prologue
Principal Celestia could only look at the picture of the thing that she cherished the most but lost so long ago. She gently ran a hand over the picture as she felt sadness overwhelm her.
“Sister, I understand that you miss him. But you can’t keep doing this to yourself. It’s one thing to remember him… But it’s another to make yourself suffer over something that was not your fault.” Luna frowned.
“I know Luna, but I can’t help but think what it would be like if he was still here… I think, what if he were still alive. What if he were to come back to me?” Celestia said with tears in her eyes as she stroked the picture of her most cherished loved one.
Her son.
“Come on we must get ready for the Grand Galloping Galla! The students can’t wait for tonight’s dance. I’m sure tonight’s festivities will cheer you up!” Luna said as she tried to cheer up her older sister.
“I suppose you’re right Luna.” Celestia said with a sigh as she got ready for the night’s events.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
- Canterlot High -
The biggest dance of the year was being held as young teenagers were dancing to their hearts content, seven girls were sitting around a table outside talking. The dance was so big that even a news team was doing an annual news report on the dance.
“I’m glad you could make it Twilight.” Sunset Shimmer said with a smile.
“I’m glad I could be here girls. It’s been too long. How are things going for all of you?” The pony princess asked.
“Good, it’s the same old same old. How about you?” Sunset asked.
“You know, me and the girls saving Equestria from another catastrophe.” She said with a laugh.
“So Equestria is the same as ever.” Sunset giggled.
The girls sat around the table eating and drinking as they caught up on.
But as the night went on Twilight saw Principal Celestia looking standing by herself with a sad forlorn look on her face.
“What’s wrong with Principal Celestia?” Twilight asked with concern.
“Twilight, have you ever heard about the weird thing that happened at the statue 18 years ago?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“It’s a magical gateway to another world filled with magical talking ponies. I don’t think it could get any weirder.” Twilight said jokingly.
“I don’t know, something happened 18 years ago. It was said that a group of families were near the statue when a bright flash happened and their children disappeared. Rumor has it that Principal Celestia was there that day and lost her son.” Sunset said.
They all saw Celestia staring at the statue depressed.
“Oh the poor thing. I could never imagine going through such pain as losing a child.” Rarity said with sympathy for the principal.
“I hope she’s okay.” Fluttershy said with concern.
“Celestia’s a mother in this world?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah, she nearly killed herself when her son disappeared. The main reason why she’s the principal of this school is in case he ever returned. Or at least that’s what they say. In fact, I think it marked 18 years ago today that those kids went missing.” Rainbow Dash said. (1)
“I’m going to go talk to her.” Twilight said as she got up.
“You should be careful, it’s a very touchy subject with her.” Sunset warned.
“I’ll be careful.” She said before walking off to talk to the human version of her teacher.
As she approached, Celestia’s frown soon changed to a smile.
“Twilight! How are you?” She said with a smile as she hugged the pony turned girl.
“Good.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“I came to check on you.” Twilight said.
“Oh, that’s sweet.” Celestia replied with a smile.
“I heard about what happened to you… on this day.” She said trailing off.
“Oh…” Celestia’s smile fell into a sad forlorn look.
“Are you okay?” Twilight asked.
“… Not really.” She sighed.
“Do you want to talk about?”
Celestia was about to politely decline but she saw Luna near the punch table giving her a look that said ‘you better talk to her or you will never hear the end of this’.
Celestia sat at the nearest table and motioned for Twilight to take a seat which she did.
“…It’s hard you know. Giving life to something and holding them in your arms one second as they look up at you and giggle then the next they are gone. I had just had my son for a couple of weeks. I was so happy.” Celestia said as a tear came to her eye.
“What happened?”
“I don’t really know… Me a few other families were taking a walk near were the statue was. At the time the school wasn’t even built. It was just a park. One second we were all happy and the next all we heard was an explosion with a blinding white flash. When we could see again our kids were gone.” Celestia explained before looking down at the table as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“I’m so sorry.” Twilight said as she gently placed a hand on Celestia’s hand.
“I still remember his brown chestnut hair and his bright baby blue eyes… I-I just wish he was here.” She said as she wiped the tears away.
Twilight hugged Celestia tightly.
“It’s okay.”
“I just hope where ever he is he’s someplace safe and happy.” Celestia sobbed.
At that moment a large explosion was heard by everyone. The blast created a bright light, blinding everyone until the light faded.
The students all screamed in panic but quickly calmed down when they saw that they were alright.
“Is everyone alright!” Celestia called out.
After everyone replied she breathed a sigh of relief
But that relief soon turned to terror when she felt that ground shake.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*”
Celestia turned and saw an image she would never forget.
Standing in front of her 100 feet away was a 45-foot-tall naked humanoid like creature. It looked human but looked deformed and had no genitalia.
It looked at her and her students with an emotionless yet predatory stare.
The whole school broke out into screaming and panicking as the giant charged at them.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!!!” One student screamed.
“EVERYONE INTO THE SCHOOL!!!” Celestia screamed as the students all tried to run to the school only to see another giant blocking the way to the school.
The news crews of the local TV stations were already at the dance to broadcast the local dance. But now their attention was on the attacking giants as police cars were arriving on the scene.
“We are witnessing giant humanoid like creatures attacking Canterlot high! We don’t know what these things are but they are terrifying and are attacking the students. Police are arriving on the scene and-”
At that moment something shot by the cameraman’s shot.
“Something just flew by! Oh my god!” The lady news reporter shouted as she a teenage boy shooting through the air followed by other teenagers.
Wires shot out of the hips of the teens harness as the device then yanked him forward. The other teens quickly followed suit.
“A group of teens are fighting these giants with nothing but swords!” The news woman shouted in awe.
The police fired off their guns at the two giants but the bullets had no effect.
“What are those kids doing!” Police Captain Shining Armor shouted as the kids flew around the beast. The giant reached for one of the kids only for another one to hook a wire into the back of its neck and slingshot themselves towards it. The teen sliced the nape of the giant’s neck.
The giant fell to the ground dead with a loud crash as the cops ushered the students away from the fight.
“The police could not stop these things but one of these mysterious sword wielding teens just brought down one of the giants!” The reporter shouted into the microphone as she ran up to one of the teens who was young Japanese girl.
“Miss! Miss! What are these things?” The reporter asked the young girl but was ignored as her and a boy with brown hair and blue eyes fired their hook lines at the giant and slashed it in the back of the neck. Killing it instantly.
As the giant fell to the ground dead everyone could only stare at the teenagers in front of them.
The teens ejected the blades on their swords and put new blades on their swords.
“Hey! You kids! Who are you!” Shining Armor said as he ran up to the kids.
Before any of them could say anything another giant came charging in a sprint as it crashed through everything in its path as it destroyed buildings and cars as it ran down the streets.
“Come on guys! Theirs still one more!” The boy with the brown hair said as he fired his lines into the buildings and launched himself with a blonde haired boy following him as well as the girl from earlier. Soon the other kids with them followed.
“Hey wait a minute!” Shining Armor shouted but the kids were already closing in on the beast.
“Dammit! Those kids are going to get themselves killed!” One of the cops said.
“We got to help them!” Shining Armor ordered.
When the police captain turned to see the giant he was horrified to see Miss Cheerilee in the hands of the giant.
Slowly the giant brought the screaming woman to its mouth.
*SLASH!*
The beast stopped just a mere inches away from its mouth as it dropped the woman.
The boy with the brown hair had slashed the giant in the back of the neck, killing it. With the giant now dead it dropped the poor woman
She screamed but before she could hit the ground the young boy who saved her shot forward caught her just before she could even hit the ground.
“Are you okay?” He asked the shaking woman in his arms.
“Y-Yes.” She said shakily as he helped her stand.
“Good.” He said with a smile.
The young boy looked around for a moment. Everyone was starting at them.
“Where are we?” He said speaking to himself.
“Hey! Young man! A moment of your time! What are those things?” The news woman shouted as she and her camera crew ran over to the group of kids.
“Uh… Those are titan’s lady. Don’t you know that?” A tall muscular blonde haired boy said while looking at her as if she were crazy.
“Titan’s? Can you please explain?” She asked eagerly as she held the microphone to his face.
“You’re nuts lady if you don’t know what a titan is.” He said as he walked off with a grunt.
The news lady didn’t like the boy’s answer as she turned to another boy and ran to him and quickly held the microphone to his face.
“Young man! You just saved that school teacher! How did you do that?” She asked the boy with chestnut brown hair and bright blue eyes.
“What?” He asked confused.
“The public has the right to know!” The reporter shouted anxiously.
“Well, it’s our job to fight them.” The boy said as he and the others sheathed their swords.
“How did you know how to fight those things?” She asked.
“We were trained to fight them.” He said as he looked at the camera in her assistant’s hand, never seeing anything like it before.
He turned back to his friends before the woman could ask any more questions.
“Guys? Where are we?” He asked.
“I don’t know but we are definitely outside of the walls.” A young boy with a Dutch boy haircut said as he fidgets around nervously.
“I don’t like how everyone is looking at us.” The tall blonde haired boy with the military haircut said as he looked around at the crowd.
The boy with the chestnut brown hair was about to say something but saw a young girl with puffy pink hair standing in front of him smiling ear to ear.
“That was AWESOME!!!” She shrieked, causing the other kids to cover their ears.
A blond haired girl and brown haired girl with a pony tale covered their ears.
“You took those things down like they were nothing! You just shot through the skies like you were flying and then you cut them down like they were nothing!” The pink haired girl squealed before going into a rant.
“Who is this girl?” The girl with the brown hair in a ponytail asked.
“I don’t know but she seems a little hyper.” The Japanese looking girl said.
“My names Pinkie Pie, what’s your?” She asked as she finished her fan girling.
“Oh! Yeah my names-”
*BANG!*
“AGH!!!” The boy screamed in pain as the bullet hit him in the side.
“EREN!!!” The girl with the black hair screamed as she ran to him. She saw one of the cops with a gun in hand.
Before he could take another shot Shining Armor stopped him.
“HOLD YOUR FIRE! HOLD YOUR FIRE!” The police captain barked before snatching away the gun
“But you saw what he did to those things! He has weapons and he’s near that girl!” The officer said.
“HIS WEAPONS WERE SHEATHED AND HE MADE NO THREATENING ACTIONS TOWARDS HER YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!” Shining Armor screamed in anger.
He turned towards the kids but it was too late as they all were launching themselves into the air with their gear.
They soared over head of them except for one of them. The Japanese girl with the red scarf around her neck. She was flying lower than the rest and kneed the officer who shot her friend. Her knee connected with his face. Breaking and shattering his nose before flying off.
Shining saw the faces of the kids, they all had looks of anger and rage.
They went from rooftop to rooftop, running across some of the before sling shotting off them again.
“DAMMIT!!!” He grunted as he quickly went to his police cruiser and grabbed his radio.
“The giants have been dispatched by a group of teens ranging from 14 to 18 years of age. One of them has been shot due to officer Quick Impulse getting trigger happy and misinterpreting the situation.” He said into the radio.
“That bitch broke my nose!” Quick Impulse shouted.
“You knew what you were doing!” Shining Armor shouted before continuing as he got into his car and drove off after the kids.
“The teens have some strange harness like device that allows themselves to slingshot themselves through the air at high speeds. They are armed with swords and display high combat prowess with them. Proceed with caution.” He reported.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
“Eren! Eren! Are you okay?” Armin shouted as they shot through the air.
“FUCK! Why did they shoot at us! We’re on their side!” Eren grunted in pain as they landed on a roof top.
“I don’t know, but we shouldn’t be out here in the open.” The tall blonde known as Reiner said as he stood look out while they rested.
“Eren where are you hit?” Mikasa asked as she ran up to him and kneeled next to him.
“My side.” He grunted as the she lifted his shirt up and saw the bloody wound.
“I’ve never seen a gun like that before. That pistol just kept firing over and over again and it only took a second to reload.” Sasha said as she quickly pulled out her canteen of water along with clean bandages and gauze.
“The bullet went all the way through. It only got the flesh. But the bleeding is pretty bad.” Mikasa said with worry as Sasha handed her the medical supplies.
Mikasa poured the water on the wound, cleaning it and the blood off. She pressed the gauze to it firmly making Eren grunt in pain before wrapping the wound in bandages.
“Do you need me to carry you?” Mikasa asked.
“No… No. I’m good thanks.” He said as he got up.
“I’m going to kill that bastard for hurting you.” Mikasa mumbled.
“What was that?” Armin asked.
“Nothing, what’s our next plan of action?” She asked.
Before she could get a reply they heard a loud thumping sound echoing through the air as a giant flying machine flew and shined a bright light was shining on them.
“LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND COME DOWN QUIETLY WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEADS!” A loud voice boomed from the machine.
“What is that?” Christa shouted over the noise.
“I don’t know but let’s get the hell out of here!” Eren shouted.
“DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN!” The helicopter pilot said over the PA system only to be ignored as they shot off through the air.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
*30 Minutes Later*
The police and news crews were covering the scene as they tried to find out what happened. Many were baffled by the titan’s body practically sizzling away in front of them.
“What the hell was that thing?” Was one of the many thoughts that was going through Celestia’s mind but the main thing that was going through her head was the boy.
“That boy… C-Could it be… Could he be my baby?” She thought.
“Sister are you alright!” Luna shouted as she ran up to her older sister and hugged her tightly.
“T-That boy! I have to find him Luna!” Celestia said as she frantically tried to get out of Luna’s hug which tightened to hold her in place.
“Sister I understand what you are feeling.”
“NO! No you don’t! Please Luna, that might be him!” She began to sob.
“Sister, let’s say that it is him. We don’t know where he is and he doesn’t know who you are. Then there is the possibility that he is not even our nephew. Panicking and getting frantic will not solve anything. We owe our lives to those kids. The least we could do is stay calm and help find those kids.” Luna said as she calmed her sister down.
“Y-You’re right Luna. I’m sorry.” She said as she looked around and saw Shining Armor walking towards her.
“Celestia, Luna, are you okay?” He asked.
“Yes. The students are alright. Do you know what those things were?” Celestia asked.
“No idea but those kids took them down like it was second nature. With swords no less. Do you know who they were?”
“I might have an idea.” Celestia sighed.
“Sister-”
“Something like this happened a long time ago. Except without the giants.”
“You mean the case of the newborns going missing? I read the case file on that. It’s been deemed a cold case. I read you were one of the mothers who lost her child. You think those kids are connected to that?” He asked.
“I think those are the kids.” Celestia explained.
“…You know normally; I would say that was crazy talk. But considering how much crazy stuff happens at this school I’m not surprised.” He answered with a sigh as he massaged his eyes.
“Y-You know?” Luna asked.
“Luna… I see my sister over their but I know for a fact that she is at Crystal Prep High. Besides, I know things…Let’s just say I’m not a normal cop and let’s leave it at that.” He said.
Celestia felt herself feel sick at what she just heard. She feared for Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
“Don’t worry… Nobody but me knows, and I won’t tell anybody about this. Your secret is safe with me.” He said.
Celestia and Luna released sighs of relief.
“We need to find those kids and fast. Because the media is going to have a field day as it is. One of them was wounded by officer trigger happy over there.” Shining explained.
“What! Which one got shot?” Celestia panicked.
“The one with the brown hair who saved Cheerilee.”
Celestia felt her stomach drop.
“Where are they now?” She asked.
“They were last seen being chased by a police chopper but the chopper lost track of them when they ducked into the Everfree woods. I don’t know what those kids are using but it is like some zip line wire system that lets them practically fly.” He explained.
“Listen Celestia, I’ll find those kids but I don’t think they are willing to talk. Not after what that jackass did.” He sighed in anger.
“Let me come with you.” Celestia said.
“What?”
“I work with troubled teens all the time, I can get through to them.” She pleaded.
“Celestia, these kids are not your average troubled teens. They took those things down like they were nothing. They are obviously combat trained.” He argued.
“Please… I know this sounds crazy but I think that child is my son. I need to know if it was him. This could be my only chance.” She begged with tears in her eyes, on the verge of breaking down.
“…Fine.” Shining caved as he saw how desperate his old friend was.
“But I’m taking you to the hospital first.” He said.
“What? Why?”
“Because… We sent a sample of the blood from the kid that got shot to the hospital to see if we had his DNA in the records. His blood was on the ground. I need to know if he is your son before I take you on some wild goose chase.” He explained.
“Y-You mean… I can get a DNA test right now to see if that was really my son?” She asked.
“Yeah, if we go there now we can-”
*BEEP! BEEP!*
“SHINING ARMOR GET THE FUCK IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW!” Celestia screamed as she was already in the police cruiser beeping the horn repeatedly.
“…That bitch is nuts.” He said as he walked to the car.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
*3 Hours Later*
“The was the fastest fucker I’ve ever seen!” Reiner gasped from the exhaustion.
“I can’t believe that thing was flying. What was that thing?” Jean panted.
Ymir had managed to spot a large clearing in the middle of the forest filled with log cabins. The place reminded them of a barracks but it didn’t seem made for military. It seemed like it was made for everyone there to relax and have fun which confused the others for its purpose.
Reiner and Jean lead the helicopter away from the others while the others had to move Eren to cover in the cabins due to his gunshot wound. Eren had nearly passed out from the blood loss.
Right now they were searching the place for anything useful.
“Did you guys find anything?” Reiner asked after catching his breath.
“This place is a gold mine!” Sasha shouted as she came running into the room with a giant turkey leg in one hand and a can of soda in the next.
“They have a fully stalked kitchen! They have this strange box that keeps things cold in it! I don’t know what this drink is but it is amazing!” She giggled as she chugged the fizzy drink in her hand.
“Strange box? What’s it do?” Jean asked.
“It looks like it’s meant to keep food and meat from spoiling.” Armin said as he walked into the room.
“Damn, that sounds useful.” Reiner said as he leaned back against the wall.
“They have a supply room with bow and arrows and other equipment. I can’t tell what some of it is. But they have gas tanks so we can refuel.” Armin said.
“Thank God. Me and Reiner were running on fumes.” Jean sighed.
“Where is it at?” Reiner asked.
“Back room labeled Equipment Room. The gas tanks are labeled CO2.” Christa said as she walked by.
“CO2? That’s a stupid name for gas.” Ymir said as she walked through the dark room.
“Where’s Eren and Mikasa?” Jean asked.
“We found an infirmary. It’s stalked with medical supplies and medicines that I’ve never seen before. Mikasa took Eren there to treat his wound better. Also, you’re not going to believe what else we found.” Armin said.
“What?” Reiner asked curiously.
“In the kitchen they had cases and cases of salt!” Armin said as he held up a cylinder container filled to the brim with salt.
“What! These people must be rich or nobles. I’m definitely grabbing as much of the stuff as I can before we leave this place.” The tall blonde said to the shorter blonde who ran off to see if his friends were okay. (2)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
“Hold still Eren.”
“It’s just a scratch.”
“A hole in your side is not a scratch. You have a gunshot wound. Now hold still or I’m going to strap you down to this table.” Mikasa said while she looked around the room for a fresh set of bandages.
“…You wouldn’t dare.” He challenged getting angrier by the second.
Mikasa pulled one of the wires from her O.D.M. gear and started to advance towards him.
“ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!” Eren quickly surrendered
“Good.” She said as she looked for some medicine that she could recognize.
“… Sheesh, you don’t have to get so testy.”
“What was that?”
“Nothing!” Eren lied.
“I don’t even know what any of these do. I could end up killing him if I gave him the wrong one.” She thought with worry as she placed a hand on her red scarf. Whenever she was worried or anxious, rubbing her scarf or being around Eren always calmed her down.
But now they were somewhere in unknown territory with no idea where they were or how they got there. One moment they were chasing a random titan that appeared before getting caught in a freak lightning storm and the next they were in some random city.
To top it off, Eren was shot.
“When I get my hands on that bastard that shot him, I’m going to skin him alive and force feed him his own testicles after skinning them too.” She thought darkly while keeping her cool on the outside.
She was pulled out of her anger when she heard the creaking of the floor boards as Armin walked into the room.
“It’s just a flesh wound! You don’t need to baby me! I can take care of myself! Why do you always have to be this way?” Eren said, frustrated from the pain. Not meaning to take his anger out on her.
“I need your help Armin. The bullet wound has started bleeding again and we need to disinfect it.” She said as the blond walked into the room.
Eren’s knew what was going to happen, and it was going to hurt like hell. He had seen his father work on guys who were in hunting accidents before.
The last thing he needed now was to be passed out from pure agonizing pain, lost in the middle of nowhere.
“We can use this to disinfect the wound.” He said as he pulled out the box of salt he found earlier.
“Eren, listen to me. This needs to be done. I’m not going to have you die on me. Besides, you’re our only real chance of beating the titans. How can you kill all of the titans if you die of blood loss?” She said knowing that it was a low blow but she knew that would get him to see reason.
“You’re right… I’m sorry for getting angry.” He sighed
“She’s right, how can I be such a coward! It’s just pain. I’ve been through worse.” He thought.
“It’s okay” She said as she lifted up his shirt and saw that the wound was bleeding more now than it did earlier.
Armin poured the salt onto his wound causing Eren to growl in pain.
Armin did this a few more times before rinsing it with some water from his canteen.
“Now comes the worst part… The girls already got a fire going. I’ll be right back.” He said as he walked out of the room with his sworn drawn.
None of the others questioned what Armin was doing when they saw him heating up his sword over the camp fire. They knew all too well what he was going to do. When the blade was glowing red hot he carefully went back to the nurse’s office.
When he walked in, the two saw the sword glowing dully. Eren’s hands were tied to the bed post above his head.
The only light in the room was coming from the dull glow of the full moon in the night sky that shown through the window. (3)
Mikasa pulled Eren’s gaze to hers. Making sure he was not looking at the red hot blade.
“Just keep looking at me Eren.” Mikasa said trying to reassure him to which he nodded as she stuffed his mouth with a piece of the bed sheet she tore off to use as a makeshift gag.
Armin was shaking, he gulped in nervousness but steeled his nerves.
He positioned the blade near the wound.
Eren’s heart racing at the feel of the heat coming off of the blade.
Mikasa stared into Eren’s eyes for what felt like forever.
She hated to do this but she was not losing him again. She thought he died the day the outer walls of Trost were breached. She would be damned before she let something like that ever happen again.
“Do it.” She said.
Armin pressed the flat of the blade to his best friend’s side and began counting backwards from ten.
“MMMGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Were the muffled screams coming from the wounded teen as he tried to futilely escape the pain.
“10…”
Mikasa’s left hand was behind Eren’s head, holding his head in place as she stroked his hair in an attempt to calm him down as she looked into his bewildered eyes.
“It’s okay... It’s okay.” She said in a soothing tone as he thrashed blindly only for her to pull him closer and tighter.
“9…”
“8…”
“7…”
“MMMMMMMMMMMGGGGHHHHH!!!” Eren’s muffled screaming intensified.
“Sh. Sh. Sh. Sh. Shhhhhhh.” She gently shushed him as she felt her heart break at the sight of him in pure agony.
“6…”
“5…”
“4…”
“It’s okay. It’s almost over.” She reassured him as she ran her fingers through his hair as his eyes were rolling into the back of his head.
She heard broken sobbing through the gag.
“3…”
“2…”
“1…”
“Done!” Armin said as he pulled the blade away from the now cauterized wound. Just as he did Eren went limp, having passed out from the pain. The smell of burning human flesh still fresh in the air.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.” Mikasa said as she held his unconscious body close to her as she rocked him back and forth.
Armin walked outside and dipped the blade in a troth that was nearby. The water bubbled but quickly stopped after a few seconds. He slung the water off and sheathed his sword before walking back into the nurse’s office.
Armin saw Mikasa holding the Eren. She stared at him with a sad, yet loving gaze.
“Definitely something going on there.” Armin thought but said nothing as Mikasa untied Eren’s hands.
He grabbed some fresh clean bandages from the glass case filled with medicine. When he was about to close it he noticed one of the medicine bottles by chance.
“I wish we had something to give him for the pain.” Mikasa sighed.
“I think we do.” He said making Mikasa perk up as he grabbed the bottle of medicine and walked over to her.
“What is it?”
“It’s Morphine.” He said as he read the label.
“Isn’t that the new medicine that the nobles are going nuts over recently?” She asked.
“Yeah, only nobles and royalty can afford it. From what I read it’s an opiate that is very strong in pain relief but at the same time very addictive.” He said as he opened the bottle and looked at the pills inside.
“I see.” She said as she saw Armin pull out all of the pills and break each of them in half.
“We can’t be too careful. Only give him half a pill to him starting out when he wakes up. Wait a few hours and see how it affects him before you give him another. If he seems fine, then it should be okay to give him another have tablet when it wears off. But don’t give him too much. We don’t want him to overdose or get addicted.” Armine instructed as he finished breaking the last pill in half before putting them all back in the bottle and handing it to her.
“Okay.” She said as she took the bottle.
“I’ll be taking first watch with Reiner. The others found a lot of food. You should get some.” He said as he walked over to put the bandages on him.
“I can do that.” She said.
“You sure?” He asked.
“Yes.” She answered.
“Okay. Be sure to keep the wound clean.” He said as he picked up his equipment and made his way to the door.
“Thank you Armin.” She said with gratitude.
“No problem.” He said as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Mikasa turned her attention back to her friend and began to bandage his side very carefully.
She stared at him for a few minutes as she silently sat next as his bedside. The young soldier was shivering in his sleep.
“He’s cold.” She thought as the wind outside started to pick up. It would get even colder soon.
An idea popped into her head as she looked around the room to make sure nobody was around as she got up and locked the door to the room. She then got into bed with Eren and pulled the sheets over the two of them.
“This should keep him warm.” She thought as she held him close.
Soon enough, he stopped shivering.
“This reminds me of when we were kids… This feels nice.” She thought before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile the girls and the others were waiting for their parents to pick them up as Twilight and Sunset Shimmer along with the others were sitting down. In Fluttershy’s case lying down due to passing out from what she saw.
The past few hours they were being questioned by the police but now they were finally able to talk to each other.
“Girls what were those things?” Twilight asked.
“I don’t know but I am thankful for those young heroes. I must say that they looked very dashing.” Rarity said.
“I know right! Maybe they will be our new friends! I just can’t believe that big ole meanie shot him!” Pinkie said as her face became angry at the end of her sentence.
“That was something I have to admit but I’m very worried about him. If he doesn’t get to a hospital… I don’t want to think about it.” Applejack cringes in fear.
“I know I’ve seen them from somewhere before. But where?” Sunset Shimmer says as she tried to think of where she saw those teens.
“T-That was… Those were Titans.” Rainbow Dash mumbled in shock. She had been like this for the last three hours.
The police could barely get anything out of her. They called her parents who were panicked at what they heard and were now on their way to take her to the hospital.
“Dash, are you okay sugarcube?” Applejack said
"THOSE GUYS WERE THE MAIN CAST OF MY FAVORITE ANIME!" She screams shocking everyone.
“I know right!” Pinkie Pie said as she jumped around giddily.
“What are you talking about?” Twilight and the others asked.
“Yes, I would like to know as well what you are talking about.” A voice said from behind the group.
They turned to see Principal Celestia walking towards them with a brown envelope in her hand.
“OH! What does the DNA test say! Is he your son?!” Pinkie Pie squealed as she jumped up and down in pure excitement, surprising Celestia.
“H-How do you know that?” Celestia stuttered.
“Because I’m Pinkie Pie that’s how! But don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone!” She said with a smile.
“Wait a minute. Are you telling me that one of those guys is your son? That’s so awesome!” Rainbow Dash shrieked.
“What!” The girls were shocked.
“The boy who was shot is most likely my son. I’m not sure but I’m currently looking into it at the moment.” She said with a little worry in her voice.
“YOUR SON IS EREN JAEGER! THAT’S AWESOME!!!” Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash shouted in glee with stars in their eyes. (4)
“That’s where I saw them from!” Sunset said face palming as she finally remembered where she saw the teens from.
“Listen, it’s very important that you tell me everything that you know about those kids especially the one that was shot.” Celestia said practically pleading in desperation.
“Alright. Me and Pinkie Pie watch this anime called Attack on Titan…” Dash started.
She explained how the show is basically about a dystopian world and that the main characters’ names were Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert. They explained the plot summary of the anime about how they fought Titans that were devouring humans and that humanity was on the brink of extinction. Rainbow Dash left the part out of how he could become a titan. She wasn’t sure how she would take it.
Celestia would have had a hard time believing them if it weren’t for the fact that magical mishaps and beings from other worlds have come to her school in the past and recently. Then there was the fact that she saw those kids fight those giants with her own eyes.
Celestia felt her heart sink as she thought about what she was just told. If everything they said was true and this boy was her son. Then her long lost son was sent to some world that was nothing but a living hell where he suffered and struggled to survive everyday.
The other reason why she was giving this theory of her son being sent to another world was due to her wife Megan.
Megan was an accomplished book writer that was well known for her book series about a little girl being sent to a world filled with ponies that needed her to save the day. What most didn’t know was that Megan was that little girl and that all of the books were based on real life events of her life. (5)
“T-Thank you girls. This has given me a lot to think about… It looks like your parents are here.” She said as she saw the kids’ parents run up to them.
She explained the whole situation to the parents. The parents saw the news report as it was happening. The only reason why they couldn’t make it sooner was due to traffic.
Fluttershy’s parents panicked when they saw her laying down on a bench but calmed down when they were told that she just fainted out of fear. But they still took her to the hospital just to be safe.
Rainbow Dash’s parents were fussing over her, despite her saying she was fine now they still took her to the hospital.
As the girls along with the last of the students were picked up Celestia got into her car and drove home.
When she finally got back she walked in to see her wife Megan run up and hug her tightly. Celestia had called her earlier explaining the whole thing to her when she was at the hospital.
The two embraced for what felt like an eternity until they finally let go. Megan led her to the couch by the hand.
As they both sat there. Celestia could only look at the brown folder in her hand.
“What were the results?” Megan asked.
“I don’t know… I was too afraid to find out without you there.” Celestia said.
“Well I’m here now.” Megan reassured her wife as she kissed her lips.
“Whatever it says were get through it together. I’ll support you no matter what.” Megan added.
“Thank you.” Celestia said as they both looked at the envelope.
Celestia hesitated for a second before tearing open the envelope. She gently unfolded the paper and read it.
Tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
“It’s positive… That was my son. That boy from earlier is my son… My baby’s back!” Celestia cried as she finally broke down crying and sobbing uncontrollably as Megan held her in her arms gently shushing her.
Her son was back. All she needed to do was find him. But that would be easier said than done.
The only thing that was going through her mind right now was the image of her son.
All she could think was how he was hurt and needed her.

*News Broadcast*
Tonight’s top story the local high school, Canterlot High was attacked by humanoid giants. But thankfully a young group of teens managed to stop and kill these things, surprisingly enough with nothing but swords.
The police are currently looking for the teens for questioning. One of them was unfortunately shot by an officer on the scene who wrongfully judged the situation.
If you see any of them, please contact your local police department or the number at the bottom of the screen.
Here is a picture of one of them, we are told this is the teen that was shot.

Author's Note
(1) Despite the Attack on Titan characters being between the ages of 15 and 16 in the show. The characters of AoT are actually 18. The reason why is because in Equestria Girls time passes slightly faster.
For example, time passed since the kids disappeared in Attack on Titan: 15 years.
Time passed since the kids disappeared in Equestria Girls: 18 years.
Eren, Mikasa, and Armin as well as the others are originally from the Equestria Girls universe. They are officially 18, they just don't know it yet.
(2) In the show when Armin is showing the book of the outside world to Eren, he tells Eren about the ocean and how it's filled with salt. Eren mentions how salt is very valuable.
They basically live in 17th century Germany with no electricity or any advance technology at all except for the O.D.M. gear.
In those days salt was very expensive and very valuable because it could help you survive.
(3) The place they are in is Camp Everfree. The whole place has running electricity and appliances. They just don't know it and even if they did, they wouldn't know what electricity is or how it worked.
They found the CO2 tanks which were for paintball. They were in the Equipment Room for the camps sports and activities. They don't know what the sports stuff is for. They only identified the bow and arrows due to them being the only real items they've seen before that was in the room.
(4) In Equestria Girls, Attack on Titan is a very famous anime that everyone is watching. Canterlot high has an anime club. Imagine how they will react to seeing the real life characters in person.
(5) Megan from the G1 My Little Pony series that was made during the 80's.
Celestia and Megan are both Bisexual. Celestia married Megan, the two of them are childhood best friends who have known each other since they were in elementary school. Celestia convinced her to write books on her adventures as a child.
Celestia is Eren's real mother. His birth father is Celestia's ex-husband who left her due to finding out Celestia was pregnant. He didn't care about having a kid and wasn't exactly the nicest guy either. But Celestia didn't take no crap from him. She can defend herself and kick ass.
Celestia tried to work things out with him but he didn't care about changing his ways. So Celestia put her baby first like any good mother. The two divorced.
After the divorce Megan and Luna helped Celestia through her pregnancy. The two did have feelings for each other before but they grew and the two eventually got married before Eren was born. Thus she is now Eren's mother as well. She helped Celestia through the loss of her son.

Hello everypony, i just couldn't get this idea out of my head. I just finished watching attack on titan a week ago and I did this story.
I'm still working on the other chapters of my fics. I'm almost done with the next chapter of the Kenshin fic. Trust me, the wait will be worth it.
Anyway I'm open to suggestions for the story and its future chapters. I've only ever watched the anime but I have never read the manga. Here's a dumb question to ask, but should I read the manga?
I'm not really sure how the relationships are going to go on this one. I might give someone an extra girlfriend. but most of them are going to be monogamous. At least that's what I'm planning for now.
What do you think? Should the relationships be monogamous or should there be at least one harem? Let me know what you think?
Also, I will get into how they ended up in the Equestria Girls universe in the next chapter.
Anyway, I'm going back to working on the next chapter of my Kenshin fic.
Big shout out to Xinrick. Another big shout out to Madhat886, his story My Little Naruto gave me the idea for this story as well as the inspiration. You should check out his stories. They're very good.
God Bless everypony
