"Eren, no matter what, you have to survive"
The man trapped underneath the ruble of his house, called out, as tears pour down his face.
He could feel the blood seeping out from the hole in his chest.
His life slowly draining away.
But still he held on, how could he not.
He had to see his son get to safety.
"EREN!!, you hear me??!, SURVIVE!"
"You have to..." His voice trailed off as he fell unconscious.
Those were the last words my father said to me, before he died.
Even to this day, I still remember his voice.
The world is in ruins, everything desolated, buildings crumble like sand castles, cars overturned, asphalt broken apart.
3 years ago, judgement day happened. Humanity had created an advanced ai called the centipede, to ensure our continued survival, but that had been a grave mistake, because soon the ai begins to think for itself, and had decided to take over the planet, breeding giant machines they called Titan's.
Humanity had fought back but they had lost, to the 9 titans, supreme ai with unique abilities, and their armies of machines.
Soon humanity had been forced to hide underground, like rats. Forced to only dream about freedom
.....
Steam hiss out of the pipe in hot air.
"Somebody fix the damn steam pipe " head fixer, hannes yelled out. His irritation growing by the second.
"Yeager, move your ass" he continues yelling.
"On it,head fixer" a young boy said, as he rushes through the steam, deck in head to toe in protective gears, with a wrench in hand, he quickly set to work tightening the valve, which some cause the pipe to stop hissing out steam.
The boy breathed a sign of relief, and takes off his protection mask, he's young, probably in his early teens, 15 or 16, years old, his face covered in dirt, his hair jet black and unkempt, his green eyes filled with hope.
Eren Yeager, wipes the sweat from his forehead, unknowningly spreading the dirt even more.
"Good job lad" hannes said walking over, his blonde hair streak with oil and dirt they appeared black, he pats Eren on the head, with a smile, he looked older than he was, his eyes have bags under them, his beard untrimmed and dirty, but still he smiles.
This war have taken a toll on everyone.
Commotion rang out from down the pipe tunnel, as people parted ways for the scouts.
"Looks like they're back" hannes said, as he and Eren watches the scouts unit pass by.
The scouts were a division, created to scout above ground, and bring any useful information they could find back home.
The scouts acting commander, John Connor, humanity strongest strategist, walked in front, head straight, with steely eyes.
That immediately tells you the man have seen alot. His face streak in military paint.
Behind him, is the one considered humanity strongest soilder, captain levi.
A man of short stature. Literally. His face a cold mask, unwilling to let anyone see through it.
Behind them trailed the scouts, fewer, than what left the base yesterday.
Eren stare at the scouts with sadness in his eyes, though he respects them, but he doesn't see the point, as some one who had once come face to face with the machine, he knew just how terrifying they were.
The titans were unstoppable, every weapon humanity had tried against them failed. What hope would regular humans have.
As the scouts head further in the base, whisper started behind them.
"What do you think happened ?"
"I heard they encountered the female titan"
"No wonder they're so few left"
The scouts barely paid any attention to the rumors, and continues on
"Alright lad, these pipes aren't going to check themselves" hannes said, moving forward, Eren followed behind him, but still unable to tear his eyes from the back of the scouts.

John Connor had grown all too used to the whisper of the civilians, but even if he find it disrespectful to those who had died, he knew he couldn't stop them from gossiping.
Pushing forward with the team, they emerge in a huge underground carven.
Home.
This was paradise compared to the outside world, as the scouts passed by, people stop to stare. Hoping to at least catch a glance at two of humanity strongest assets.
"Tch!, don't they have better things to do?" The man besides him said, shooting the civilians a small glare.
"Come now Levi, some of them mean well" John said , addressing the other man.
"Tch" Levi clicks his tongue and adverted his gaze.
A few minutes later, the scouts arrived at a door made into the walls of the tunnel, and knocks 3 types with different rhythm.
The door open a crack, then fully.
"You're back!!, please tell me you brought me a present " captain Zoe hange let out a excited scream, like a kid at Christmas. Her glasses sparkle even in the dim light, hair tied in a ponytail.
"How could we forget?, you practically sang it to our ears until it was registered in our brain" John says with a smile, then, nod over one of the scouts, who produced the servered head, of a machine, a T-800, and hand it to hange.
Who shrieks in delight.
"Oh my Gosh, no way, it's the latest model, you sure know how to charm a lady".
"We don't have time for this, where's the commander four eyes" Levi cut in.
Hange puffs out her cheeks, and huff.
"Stop picking on me" before smiling.
"Come in, he's waiting for you"
She said, making way for them.
"You guys head go on, we'll be here awhile" John tells the rest of the scouts, as he and Levi step into the room hange shutting the door.
Inside the room, is a long table, with chairs place around it, and at the head of the table, sat commander Erwin, a compose man with blonde hair, looking like he doesn't know the meaning of smiling.
"John, Levi, sit, we have much to discuss " he said in calm voice.
(Ps. I have decided to make this a space to dump my weird fanfiction ideas in, mostly just random crossovers, am still trying to learn to write without even a single assist from ai, so please bear with me.)
