Counterattack Chapter 5

As Erwin's fist clenched over his heart, his keen eyes swept over the cadets who had decided to stay. He counted perhaps two dozen of the 104th Cadet Corps members who'd decided to become Scouts, far more than he expected in all honesty. Some years they had less than a dozen members per trainee group, if that, so he was pleased with the turn out. Especially considering his brutally honest speech about their death rates.

Erwin was intrigued. Some were shaking, some even crying, but a large number of them had a spark in their eyes. The s...

Thoughts on potential Titan Shifters

I wanted to hold a vote and see who you guys want to become a Titan Shifter out of the people below. I have my preferences, but I wanted to hear you guys out and see what you all want.

Counterattack Chapter 4

Ymir gave Historia a longing side glance, pondering her fate, as the two of them walked side by side towards the woman's barracks. Ymir was worried, since what Eren told her earlier rang deep in her mind, and no matter how she sliced it, she had to make a choice. One that affected more than just her.

Historia seemed to take notice of her looks, and decided to ask her girlfriend what was bothering her. "Is something wrong, Ymir?"

Ymir shook her head, instantly denying her words. "No, it's just weird is all. Eren really wasn't kidd...

Counterattack Chapter 3

Eren panted with exhaustion, his muscles nearly failing him as he limply stumbled through an alley. Blood spilled onto the floor, confusing him momentarily before he realised the red liquid was spilling out of his nose.

Eren grunted as he placed his back against a wall, slowly sliding down, and he tried to stay calm. He made a mistake. His hardening abilities were new to him, with that serum nearly costing him his life to steal, and it was pure luck he managed to craw out of his Titan in time.

He looked down at his waist with dis...

Counterattack Chapter 2

Bertolt slowly and lazily opened his eyes, the heavy weight lying on his conscience weighing him down, urging him to just stay in bed and ignore everything. The world around him felt distant, even the sound of his 'comrades'- the devils of Paradis- beginning to wake up for the day, to fulfil their duties, wasn't enough to force him out of bed.

Bertolt felt disgusting good, strange considering the acts he'd commit today, and didn't want to get out of bed. Just like he didn't want to be a mass murderer, just like he didn't want to destro...

Counterattack Chapter 1

"Do you have heart?!"

It was pitch dark night in the city of Trost, only a few torches illuminating the night, yet the cadets of the 104th training corp each stood straight, perfectly focused as they'd been trained to do when a superior was speaking to them.

Their thought process was predictable. Those in the top ten would pick the Military Police, seeking a life with whatever comfort they could gather for themselves and their loved ones inside Wall Sina; fine with staying away from the battlefield as the world burned.

Thos...

An Outlier Chapter 6

Leo dropped the final book onto his desk with a heavy thud, a slight of dust spraying into the air as he rubbed his eyes.

"Finally, I'm done with all three books... out of like twenty, goddamn."

Ralts gave a yawn, visibly sharing in her trainer's fatigue; even if she wasn't the one doing the reading.

Leo had underestimated how much he needed to learn about pokemon to be a trainer. Oh sure, he'd played the pokemon games enough times to learn the movesets and types of essentially every pokemon off by heart, but he was painful...

Wings of Freedom Chapter 1

The air was freezing and heavy, the rain sinking into his shoes and clothes, but Griff hardly gave that any thought. His entire being was only dedicated to one thing when he was outside the walls. Survival. For both him, and the lives of his men.

The field they were riding through were terrible for ODM gear, and that made him nervous. He was good enough to kill a Titan on flat land, especially considering his ability, but he doubted those in his squad could say the same.

Four people rode with him, one woman and three men. Jane,...

An Outlier Chapter 5

Professor Vanessa Sylvan placed herself down on a comfy chair opposite to Wyatt's and the Delta Ralts he was carrying that was sat on his lap; and though she was still tired she had taken a shower and discarded her lab coat in exchange for a more casual attire. "So, Wyatt, where did-"

The purple haired teenager cut her off abruptly, putting his foot down with his next words. "I told you to call me Leo."

Vanessa bit the inside of her lip, holding back the urge to correct him, deciding to permit him that request out of respect. "Al...

An Outlier Chapter 4

"Finally. Looks like we won't have to sleep in the woods afterall." Leo tiredly said aloud, reading the sign and being relived to know he'd made it to the starting point.

'Welcome to Telnor Town, a place for pokemon, family and young trainers alike.'

Leo looked down into his closed jacket, the cold body of the tiny Ralts sleeping soundly, and tried his best to keep awake as he walked through the town's gate.

The darkness of night, and the fatigue which came from hours of walking, made his vision blurry and his thou...

What Delta Pokemon do you want Leonardo to get next.

An Outlier Chapter 3

Persephone finally did it. It took a few more than ridiculous words, she felt like an idiot speaking in whatever language that might have been, but she managed to summon a legendary pokemon. And not just any legendary, the one who had saved her on two separate occasions in her life.

She might have been older by over a decade, she certainly didn't look identical to her dark haired youthful self, but Darkrai definitely recognised her. That was good, she'd have felt like a fool if he didn't.

Those days in Selene City weren't exactly...

Taking Up The Xenoblade Chapter 4

"So... what exactly was that earlier?"

Shulk was sat with Reyn around a camp fire, which they had found along the path to the Bionis leg, and they were cooking some bunnit meat which they'd been lucky enough to find. It wasn't the most exciting dinner, but it tasted good enough.

Shulk listened to the meat begin to sizzle and, after a moment, he just asked." What do you mean?" Though, he already had an idea of what Reyn wanted to discuss. They hadn't talked about it so far, with the two of them being too tired to care, but they ...

The True Xenoblade Chapter 1

"Oh boy." Noah couldn't help but speak out when he awoke to find himself wearing what appeared to be an extremely light looking hospital robe, and his arms were dripping with a weird smelling substance that made his nose tingle and reject just with a single sniff. He also seemed to be lying in what looked like a pod of some kind.

He grabbed the ends of the pod, using them to pull himself up, and only then did he realise someone was talking to him.

"What is your name, soldier?"

Noah snapped his head to the left, noticing tha...

Sabrina should have opposed Asher. She should have told her boyfriend that it was a horrible idea to battle Giovanni, she should have told him that he was outclassed and that he shouldn't have let his victories get to his head. But, in the end, she let him go anyway, she let him go alone because he insisted that he would be alright. Because, he insisted that he was...

Taking Up The Xenoblade Chapter 3

"Where are all these things coming from?! I kill one and two more take their place! Why are they multifying like this?!" Reyn questioned, but he was probably being rhetorical. Especially considering that Shulk didn't know the answer, just where were the dozens of spiders coming from?!

He and Reyn had continued on the path out of Tephra cave, but right as they appeared by the entrance, an army of arachno's ambushed them. They were relentless and never-ending. Shulk was honestly contemplating simply running away, because the situation di...

Quiet. That was all I could manage to think in my delirious state as my mind desperately tried to scramble together coherent thoughts.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally managed to make my eyes twitch with life, and when I  opened them I was greeted with the familiar sight of a hospital room.

I groaned from exhaustion as I flexed my arms, o...

Taking Up The Xenoblade Chapter 2

It was just Shulk. The greenery surrounding him and the pitch black bottomless hole he was staring into only served to unnerve him as he wondered what on earth was going on. Shulk's vision was distorted, and thoughts came to him in short burst of incoherent nonsense, however his mind was still active enough to wonder what was happening.

Turning around he was met with the face of a blonde boy. A very familiar one at that.

Ahhh, now he could remember who this was. This was Zanza. The soul of Bionis, an immorta...
