The next day, the Terror and Saints Team gathered in the training room. “Now, as you know, the gallows event is close by, and because of that, all missions have been put on hold. Ensure that this training will not be for nothing.” Zachary spoke with a severe look on his face. Eren guessed that because of the gallows event's nature, all trainers had to be strict and let their trainees know just how much was at stake if they were too slow, unprepared, or weak. “I'll be pairing you, but will change your partners about three times during our training until D-Day,” Zachary informed them. “Is that clear?” “Yes!” They all responded in unison. “Samantha and Gaine, Drake and Trevor…..lastly, Sid and Eren. Now, let's have Sid and Eren come up first.” Zachary urged, and everyone clapped, cheering them on. As Sid and Eren stood at a distance, preparing to fight, they had the same thing on their mind — last night's discussion. It was as if Sid had predicted that a time like this would come s
Warriors! This was a Warriors attack. Strangely, Eren recognized one of the Warriors who’d come to attack. “Shit! That's Zack Palmer.” Eren spoke as he looked toward Zack, who halted behind them. Both Eren and Drake turned and prepared to fight. “You still haven't learned your lesson, have you? Want me to beat you up to a pulp again?” Eren threatened, trying to make Zack back out without them having to fight. “As long as it involves a promotion, I don't think I will ever learn my lesson.” Zack hissed in reply. “Leave him to me. I'll take it from here.” Drake said, glaring at Zack, who was also ready for a fight. Drake's body began to stretch and contort as his muscles bulged. Fur burst out of his skin, replacing every other human feature with a saber-toothed figure, and Eren briefly watched, amazed as always. Drake was the only one with this animal-like feature out of all the Ten. It was fascinating, truly. As soon as he finished changing, Drake then charged towards Zack
Why was Samantha’s hands on fire? Eren and Drake asked this question internally as they glanced at each other. However, before either of them could ask what was happening, a tear dropped down Samantha’s face, and she began sobbing, “I'm sorry.” “What are you sorry for?” Drake was the first to speak. “I am truly.” She ignored the question, and said instead, “Drake, Eren, I am deeply sorry. I never meant this. I never meant any of this.” As she apologized, the flames of fire that lit her hand up got bigger. What was going on? “What the—“ Eren didn’t finish his sentence because Samantha suddenly charged at him, no them. Her brother also joined in the attack, and a loud ‘no’ tore out of Drake’s throat. The balls of fire lunged at Drake and Eren and they stumbled backwards in pain. “Shit! Shit!” Eren cussed as he desperately tried to dodge the fireballs. Samantha was no force to be reckoned with, but with her brother, the pair were almost unstoppable. This wasn’t going to e
Eren tried his best to run as fast as he could because he knew that if he was even a minute too late for Sid - who was probably in danger - he might be unable to forgive himself. Soon, Eren came to a halt. The scent he was tracking had gotten faint. He couldn’t afford to go off-grid now that he’d lost the only thing directing him towards Sid. So, he looked around, hoping to find his friend nearby. As he was searching around, his eyes saw familiar clothing. It looked exactly like Sid’s. The person was behind a tree, utterly oblivious to Eren’s presence. Slowly and not wanting to cause a scene, Eren approached the figure. He stood behind the tree and slowly called, “Sid?” The person remained unmoving. So Eren approached more cautiously this time. He was still pretty sure the figure was Sid. “Sid,” he called, and the figure moved slightly. Then, “Eren,” the figure whispered, and Eren whistled. “Sid!” Eren exclaimed as Sid turned around, “We have been searching for you
What had Sid done? Eren stared in shock as the force field closed, trapping the students and William Winchester inside. The intruders began attacking the students, and they seemed to gain the upper hand. “We're failing.” One of the students said in a panic. “Let's keep fighting!” Another student advised. However, even with their skills, the intruders were closing in on them. The students weren’t as strong and equipped as the attackers. And they kept getting badly wounded to the extent that they couldn't fight anymore. Eren was so confused with everything. Sid had betrayed him. First, it was Samantha and her brother. Now Sid? He couldn’t believe it. “What the hell is going on?” He muttered under his breath, his palms sweaty as he looked around. It took Eren a long time before he finally figured out something. The attack was all a decoy. And he’d been a part of this decoy. He remembered the bugs he’d placed in the academy. The same bugs were now acting as teleportat
Motivated by Eren, Gaine erupted with lightning sparks and leaped towards the skyscraper, heading straight to its topmost floor to help his grandfather. Eren, meanwhile, headed for the last floor, the lab where he had placed one of the bugs. “Come on," he urged Drake, who was still limping. They walked towards the elevator, and when they got into it, Eren pushed the last floor button. Drake groaned in pain, and Eren sighed. “You have to hold on, okay? This will end soon.” Eren said, trying to encourage Drake to be patient and stand strong. Soon, they reached the last floor and walked toward the lab as quickly as possible. When they got there, the lab was in shambles. All the documents were scattered, some vials had broken on the floor, and different liquids had spilled around. “Alice!” Eren called out to, hoping to find the lab’s carekeeper. He spotted other scientists hiding around, but not Alice. Not giving up on his search, Eren dragged Drake to the second room, whe
Eren’s jaw dropped in shock as he stared at Silas unbelievably. He froze, looking dumbfoundedly as the man he’d known to be paralyzed limped towards what sat on the pedestal. Eren had learned a lot of things today, but this was the most shocking. So Silas wasn’t paralyzed. The professor had never been paralyzed. In a daze, Eren watched Silas climb the stairs one at a time, smiling. “Eren! Do not let him touch the pedestal!” Zachary shouted at the top of his voice, and this command snapped Eren out of his frozen state. “Shit!” He cursed out and made to run towards the stairs. However, before he could move, Sid appeared and pushed him back. “You can’t go beyond where you are,” Sid told Eren coldly. “No, Sid.” “Yes. I’m sorry, Eren. You can’t go there. You can’t stop him.” “But why?” Eren asked frustratingly. He still hadn’t come to terms with Sid’s betrayal. He didn’t know how the man could just turn against them like that. His mind raced for reasons, but none made
While Eren and Sid fought intensely, Silas slowly approached the pedestal, his feet moving independently. His heart beat rapidly in excitement, and a fierce smile crossed his lips. Finally, after years of planning and plotting, his schemes were about to pay off. All those years of frustration, anger, and hurt would finally pay off in full and glorious form. Once he got to the pedestal and grabbed the helmet, he was made. He would have all the power to destroy anyone who stood in his path, most notably the Winchesters. The smile on Silas’s face grew wider, more manic. This victory would be his crowning glory for centuries, and he was only starting. After this battle, there would never again be anyone with any power over him. No one could challenge his power without consequences. They had tried before and succeeded, but never again. Silas' feet moved again, and after two more steps, he stood directly before the helmet. He stared at the shining silver surface and felt h
