*Axel POV*
"huh, what is that noise. I don't wanna wake up yet" I stated groggily. I tried to fall back asleep but the sounds of groaning and loud banging sounds on the tree he was sleeping on denied me that option.
After I took about 15 minutes to properly wake up. I got up and then immediately grunted in pain from the wave of back pain I felt. Back on earth I didn't necessarily have the greatest bed in the world but I guess I took it for granted. Cracking my back to slightly ease the pain, I looked over the edge to see what the loud noises were because eventhough I could somewhat formulate an idea, I wanted to make sure.
I look over the edge expecting to see about 3 or 4 titans, but what i saw next horrified me to my core. There were no less than 15 titans with 3 abnormals included. From what i know of the couple episodes of the anime I watched was that they eat humans, and the only way to kill them was by cutting their napes (back of the neck).
What I am curious about is what attracted this much over to this tree. Did i cause too much noise while I was asleep. I guess I do snore a bit but I didn't think it would cause this much trouble. the only thing that brought me peace was that none of them have the ability to climb trees. I know this because if they did then this fanfic would have ended very quickly. The only reason I knew that the 3 titans were abnormals was the fact that they weren't trying to reach me, two of them were only looking at me from afar and one of them
Well, the only thing I can do now is find a way to escape this situation in one piece, literally. First thing's first, I open the System store to see if there are any stands that sound offensive. If one of the gives me the ability to morph into nearly anything, then there has to be one with an offensive ability.
Looking through the store, there is a stand that caught my eye. If a stand that has a name like this isn't offensive, then I don't know what is. This stand is called-
-Anubis 150 ST-
The Egyptian god of death. In my pursuit to find something enjoyable, I stumbled across several TV shows and books that deal with gods such as moon knight and percy jackson. This led me to be quite knowledgable about gods and their names. And a stand with a name of the god of death has to be helpful in some way.
Removing the voice of doubt in the back of my head, I press the purchase button, but instead of a +1 icon next to my purchased stands tab, a message pops up stating
-WARNING! "Anubis" is a stand that requires any sort of bladed weapon to use. without this requirement, "Anubis" cannot be used until you aquire a bladed weapon-
"What" I said blankly. Not sure how to react. while on one hand, I am glad that the System warned me about this, on the other hand, this changes everything about how I purchase stands. Do the majority of stands require items to use or is it a minority of stands. Will all stands that require items have items that are as vague as bladed weapons or will others have more specific tools like a certain type of sword or a bow and arrow.
Forgetting about this topic for now, I still have the problem of the titans to worry about.
"That might work." I whisper to myself in contemplation. This plan is very risky and requires more control and testing over my current stand "Earth, Wind and Fire" but it has the chance to work.
immediately, I begin testing my current stand to see if my plan is even possible.
first, can I control parts of my body if they are turned morphed. To answer this question. I turn my hand into a rope about 5 meters long and eventhough I try my hardest to move it, it won't budge unless I use my other hand to weild it.
Secondly, If it turn my arm from my shoulder to my wrist into a rope, then can i control the hand. I do exactly as I did before but this time keeping my hand human. In doing this I discovered that eventhough I can close my hand and move my fingers, I cannot move the hand itself.
thirdly, can I be split into two parts by changing into a pair of something such as a pair of shoes or dice. The answer, I surprisingly can. However, I can only remain in the conciousness of one of them and if I transform into anything other than another pair then the two parts will rejoin.
With these 2 tests concluded, I think that my plan might actually work.
firstly, I face another branch that is high up above me and in between a slightly farther branchand wind my right arm forward like a windmill, then, when I have generated enough speed, i turn everything from my shoulder to my wrist into a 20 meter rope and watch as it flies to another branch only to miss it slightly. I do this 3 times until I finally get the length right and my arm the changes to a metal hook as the rope loops around the branch and gets the hook to dig into the branch.
I couldn't help bit grin at this sight as the first part of my plan has been completed. The next part is where the fun begins. I walk backwards slowly to the very other end of the branch and the run at full speed and leap off the branch. I fall for a bit before the slack of the rope dissapears and I begin to swing forward on the way to another branch.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO I exclaim in my mind as doing so vocally would attract the titans towards me. I already knew that some titans were gonna follow me over to the other branch but I hoped that some of them would miss me swinging over to another and keep focusing on that tree.
All of a sudden, I get a horribly bad feeling wash over me, and because the only other time I've ever felt this way was when I was running away from the other titan, I already knew it was something extremely bad. This feeling was terror.
Looking back to the only thing that could be causing this terror, I saw the other two abnormal titans still unmovin- wait, weren't there three befor-
"OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH SHIIIIIT"
Looking down, All I see is a row of teeth as I quickly transform myself into a pair of shoes, effectively cutting my body in half straight down the middle but successfully avoiding the maw of this titan chopping off my arm.
With my brain working faster than it ever has before and with my focus at it's peak, I turn into the smallest object that i can possibly think of, a dice cube, and once i'm in the middle of it's esophagus which is where i presume the neck to be, I turn into a massive yet thin plate of metal with slightly sharpened edges, effectively beheading the titan and cutting it's nape.
This however doesn't solve the problem of be being surrounded by the 14 or so other titans. This near death experience breaks my concentration however so all I can do is try to run away from them and regroup with my other half.
Suddenly, before I could even hope to escape, a gian hand picked my up by my lower body and lifted me up to meet it's hollow, lifeless eyes. Eventhough I try my hardest to escape by transforming, the previous experiment left me unable to focus
Is this it .... Am I truly gonna die here ....... I guess it was kind of fun experimenting with these powers .... It's a miracle I survived this long ..... All I can say is to the god that put me in this world, f**k yo-
I feel the grip loosen as I fall back to the ground with a painful thud.
"What the hell happened." Is all I could ask myself, covered in the evaporating blood of the titan.
Thankfully, my questions were answered as all I heard were sounds of steam and all I saw were green coats
"Are you alright" A slightly deep voice asked, turning around, I see a man with well kept blond hair, big bushy eyebrows, and a stoic face, wearing what anybody who has seen an episode of aot would recognise, a green coat with the scout regiment's symbol on it, the wings of freedom.
"Did you hear me sir, are you alright"
------------------------------------------------------
anyway, I will try to make the word count of most of these chapter exceed 1,000 words. They might not be as long as these first 2 chapters but they will most likely cross 1,000. Also, if I do not post for an entire week straight just assume that something personal and/or important is happening in my life.
I will inform you guys if I'll be dropping this fanfic and will try to post a chapter every couple days.
Anyway, I honestly wasn't even gonna publish this and just wrote it for me and my friend so the fact that anyone is reading this makes me kinda happy. so have a good day / night and ill cya guys in the next chapter.
