"I guess that shouldn't be a problem with me," Takahisa said once he heard about training. If his training in the Spiritual World was quite hard, then this shouldn't be any harder.

---

"C'mon, we need to get out of here, I'm pretty sure that thing is going to cause some damage before proper authorities come in," Kaika said as she started to rush down the staircase. The Metal Gear outside continued to fire many missiles into the building, and the idea that this AI controlled Metal Gear was here, Kaika just knew that there were probably cyborg soldiers at the scene too.

At the end of the stairs, Kaika stopped as she heard commotion in the ahead hallway, hiding behind the wall as she heard gunfire go on and on. Dammit, they're really hellbent on finding me. All of this death...just to find me... she thought in anger by how much innocent lives were lost already because of this sudden attack. Though, even if she knew that these were cyborgs that were coming near them, Kaika wasn't so sure if they would be able to handle against these cyborgs at all.

Armin nodded. "Meet you down there...." he said, walking off towards the library.

Down in the training yard, Levi was teaching his faction hand-to-hand combat.

---

Eren watched, eyes wide. "I don't want to fight it.. Don't make me..."he looked at her. "I don't want to fight it....please?"

Alright, it's just basic combat...hopefully I can pull some of the physical training I've gotten from Peyton into this, Takahisa said as he got to the training yard.

---

"That's fine, I never thought I would be using this here..." Kaika said as she flicked out her hidden blade from her left sleeve, she planned to go out there herself and fight these guys off. However, she heard someone else come into the fray, which prompted her to stay behind their hiding place. She took a risk and peeked out to see that a certain figure had appeared and opposed on the cyborg troops that were just mowing down the people caught in the crossfire. She watched as this certain person easily defeats each of the cyborgs in this hallway, slicing them apart with his blade and ripping out of their bodies what seemed to some electrolyte repair unit as a way to refill his sword with energy. And that was taken care of easily for us... Kaika thought as she had the hidden blade slide back into the gauntlet hidden under her sleeve, somewhat relieved that this other person had come in. However, she could tell that this person was also a cyborg, but more like an advanced cyborg that clearly wasn't a part of the attack and actually someone who opposed the attack going on right now.

"You can stop hiding now, I was aware that you two were there the entire time, but we have the big priority on getting the hell out of here," the man says towards their direction, probably having some kind of sensory system to detect them that easily.

Eren looked at Kaika. "What do we do?" he whispered.

---

The trainees were fighting against each other, and Jean and Levi were demonstrating a few things for the trainees.

Armin walked out of the library, scrolls of paper and maps in his arms. A few pencils were tucked behind his ears and hanging out of his pockets as he made his way down to the training area.

"I think we should go with this guy, I don't think we can protect ourselves from the other things happening here," Kaika told Eren quietly, seeing as this was the only option for them. With this in mind, Kaika walks down the stairs into plain view in the hallway to the man. "Alright, but we're not sure if you're going to kill us or something. So, mind to tell us if we're safe with you," she spoke up to the cyborg, knowing that this wouldn't sound suspicious as this would give her a way for this cyborg to identify himself.

"You can trust me. It's my task to stop this sudden attack...call me Raiden. That's all I'm going to say, let's get going before more come in," the cyborg says to them, before moving down the hallway to guide the both of them to a protected location for all of the survivors of this ongoing attack. Kaika only followed, using her senses to see if there was anything else going on. though in obvious means, they could briefly see the destruction made outside the school by the Metal Gear RAY.

---

Takahisa decided to start training, but wasn't sure where to start off with.

Eren followed quietly. "I don't know.... This seems..... Unsafe..."

---

Armin got down to the training yard and was suddenlt surrounded by his own faction. He spread the.maps and papers across the ground. All of the trainees in the group sat on the ground. "Good afternoon, squad..." he laughed, sitting down cross legged on the ground in the middle of the circle. "So, what did we chart last time?" he asked, and the girl that Takahisa encountered earlier raised her hand. Aemin smiles. "Rachel?" The girl put her hand down. "We charted the normal migration patterns of the 30 meter class titans, sir." Armin nodded. "Very good!" he said.

Meanwhile, a few of Jean and Levi's trainees seemed to be just goofing around and throwing sparring punches and kicks at each other.

Before Kaika could say anything else to Eren, they were suddenly surrounded by other cyborg soldiers. "Let me take care of this," the man, Raiden, tells them as he takes out his high frequency sword and he instantly began to fight and slash right through some of the cyborgs. As Raiden was occupied with the majority of the cyborg soldiers here, one soldier attempts to grab a hold of Kaika, saying something like "she's the one." Despite the obvious advantage the soldier had due to cybernetics, Kaika had quick reflexes to dodge roll behind the soldier and pierced his back with her hidden blade. With a slight burst of her energy transmuted through her hidden blade (though not visibly noticeable), Kaika shoved the knocked out soldier to the ground, sparks flying out of the stab mark from her hidden blade. As she had the hidden blade slide back into the gauntlet, she saw that Raiden got a glimpse of her taking down that cyborg soldier on her own.

"Aren't we focusing on getting out of here?" Kaika sighed, knowing she had some explaining to do later to their escort about what she just did.

---

It's her... Takahisa thought with a curious look.

Eren stood back, still feeling uneasy about Raiden.

---

Armin explained a few things and soon, the squad trainees were mapping out and finding things about the titans in small groups.
Rachel was in a group that Armin was with, listening as he explained everything.

"The safe point isn't too far from here," Raiden told them as they continued to head down the hallway. Surprisingly, what seemed to be a robotic dog came towards their group, but didn't seem to take any hostile action towards them.

"Raiden, I had neutralized several of the soldiers in this area. This route is empty for a short period of time," the robot said, as if it were some scout for Raiden.

"Errr..who are you?" Kaika was a bit surprised seeing a robot that had some AI.

"I am prototype LQ-84i, designated codename: Blade Wolf. I can see that Raiden is escorting you from the danger. I will go ahead and ensure that no threat approaches," the robotic dog responded.

"We got it Wolf," Raiden said in a joking tone, somewhat glad that Blade Wolf was being more independent rather than being forced back then in the past.

---

"Hey," Takahisa smiled as he walked up to Rachel, knowing her from the time she tried to protect him as Ayimu once came to this place.

Rachel looked up. "Hey! What's up?" he giggled, setting her pencil down.
Armin looked at the two and smiled before going back to the group he was at.

---

Eren took a step back. "Ummm.... What's with the dog? Last time I checked, dogs aren't made of metal and they don't talk..." he murmured to Kaika.

"I'm fine, just settling in and all," Takahisa smiled.

---

"Sounds like you haven't seen a robot with artificial intelligence before," Raiden says like he could hear them pretty well.

"I will go ahead. Head through this route with caution," Blade Wolf said before going ahead of them to see if there were more soldiers in the way.

"I'm Rachel..." she scooted over, patting the ground next to her. "Come sit..." she said, smiling.

---

Eren swallowed. "Umm...robot?" he leaned over to Kaika. "What's a robot?" he whispered.

"Think of it like a mechanism that can act on it's own...." Kaika whispered to him, in a low voice that even Raiden couldn't overhear. It wasn't long until they got outside, and the Metal Gear RAY wasn't that far from them outside either.

"I'll take care of that, you two should go," Raiden said as he took out his sword and ran in the direction towards the Metal Gear. Unfortunately, the Metal Gear happened to get sight of Kaika and Eren, and opened fire at them with its' machine guns. Of course, Raiden had managed to go up and cut up the machine guns quickly, but wasn't fast enough to stop the first wave of bullets.

Kaika saw this and tried to pull themselves away from the bullets, but they weren't fast enough to get out of there in time.

---

"That's a nice name Rachel," Takahisa said as he sat down next to her.

Eren cries out in pain as bullets impaled him in the leg and the arm. "AAAAAAAGHH!!!" He cried, holding his wounds.

---

Rachel blushed. "Th-thanks.." She motioned towards Armin. "Proffesor Arlert's my cousin, you know? If he finds out you've been flirting with me, he'll get weird.." she giggled.

Kaika was shot many times in the chest, collapsing to the ground. "E-Eren....." she muttered out before blacking out from the pain. Eren knew she wouldn't die, but to others, she looked like she just died.

Raiden was shocked to see that both of them were shot down, and he was immediately smacked away by the Metal Gear's heat blade, sending the cyborg flying into the destroyed ruins of the school.

(Titan time? ^^)

---

"Really? I didn't know that..especially when I've been around him some time since I got here," Takahisa said with a surprised look on his face.

(Yes ^-^)

Eren felt himself begin to form into a titan. A large flash of.light.and a huhe boom was heard as his titan form appeared. He roared and took his stance, anger reflecting in his green eyes.

---

Armin looked over at them and smiled.

Rachel smiled and tucked her blonde hair behind her ear. "Yeah, we're total opposites though. He's a book person and I'm more of the plan and attack type."

"The hell?" Raiden said in disbelief as he managed to situate himself from the rough landing and seeing the Titan appear just like that.

Metal Gear RAY turned its attention to Eren, and charged towards the Titan with it's right wing shifted into a heat blade the hit the Titan with.
----
"I can tell," Takahisa said, remembering how she tried to keep him safe during the Ayimu situation.

Eren roares and charged towards the being, arms forward as if to block it.

---

Rachel smiled. "Wanna help me?" she asked, holding out a pencil.

RAY forces the heat blade down on Eren, but sees that the blade doesn't seem to do much to the titan's arms. So, the Metal Gear leapt back to distance itself from Eren and began to fire missiles at the Titan.

---

"Sure, what's this on?" Takahisa nodded, but was curious on what this was on as he wasn't that familiar with things like this.

Eren roared and ran towards RAY.

---

Rachel pointed at a map. "We'rr charting 40 meter class titan migration patterns."
