*3rd Pov*
[Eren Yeager and Alex Uchiha, yes? You are a soldier, sworn to sacrifice your life for the public good. Is that correct?] stated Zackly while reading a paper
[Yes sir.] said Eren. Alex nods
[This is an exceptional situation, thus this tribunal will be held under military, not civilian law. The final decision rests entirely in my hands. Your fates will be decided here. Do you have any objections?] questioned Zackly while looking away from the paper.
[No, sir.] said Eren with a hint of nervousness. Alex looks at Eren, who looks down with slight worry.
[I appreciate your perception. I will be direct. As anticipated, concealing your existence's has proved impossible. We must make your existence's public in some form, or a threat to humanity other than Titans may arise. What I will decide today is which force will have custody of you two. The Military Police? Or the Survey Corps?] said Zackly
(A/N: I think its painfully obvious that I'm simply just copying the lines off of the translation of Crunchyroll, but just adding a few bits and pieces for Alex. So, if you want to complain about some lines, complain to Crunchyroll)
[Then, I ask the Military Police for their proposal.] said Zackly
[Yes sir.] said Nile. He is the commander of the Military Police.
[I, Commander of the Military Police, Nile Dawk, will present my proposal. After a thorough investigation of both Eren and Alex's body, we believe they should be eliminated immediately. It's certainly true that their titan power overcame our previous peril. However, now they're existence threatens to spark a civil war. So we ask them to die for humanity's sake, leaving behind all the information he can.] spoke Nile
[There is no need for that! They are an invasive pest! They have deceived the walls that embody God's wisdom! They must be killed at once!] screamed out priest Nick. He was one of the wall-ist, who had gained rising fame during the 5 years of chaos from the destruction of Wall Maria.
[Presit Nick. Order, please.] said Zackly
[We'll hear the Survey Corps's proposal next.] he continued
[Yes sir.] said Erwin
[I, the 13th Commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith, will present my proposal. We would welcome Eren and Alex as official members of our forces and use their power to retake Wall Maria. That is all.] said Erwin
[Thats all?] questioned Zackly
[Yes sir. With their power, we can retake Wall Maria. We believe it is clear what our priorities should be.] said Erwin
[I see. And where do you plan to begin this mission? Pixis, the Trost wall has been completely sealed, correct?] questioned Zackly
[Yes, it can never be opened again.] said Pixis
[We would like to set out from Karanes, in the east. From there, we will proceed to Shiganshina. We will determine the route as we go.] said Erwin
[Wait a minute! Shouldn't we seal all the wall gates once and for all? The Colossal Titan can only destroy the gates. If we can strengthen them, we needn't endure further attacks!] said a merchant
[Shut up, merchant dog! With those titan powers, we can return to Wall Maria!] said a civilian
[We can no longer indulge your delusions of grandeur!] said another person
[You talk a lot, pig.] said Levi. The merchant and Eren look at him in surprise
[Where is your proof that the Titans will wait while we seal the gates? The "we" you speak of are only those you wish to protect, your "friends" who help line your pockets. The people who starve because there isn't enough land to sow don't even figure into the thoughts of you pigs.] finished Levi
[We just thought that we could survive by sealing the wall gates—] said the same merchant
[Silence! Impious traitor! Mere humans altering Wall Rose, walls that were a gift from God? Can you truly see those walls, God's work far beyond human capabilities, and not understand?...] the man continued until Zackly interrupted them.
[Silence. You may discuss your personal philosophies and opinions elsewhere. Yeager and Uchiha, I wish to confirm something. Can you continue to serve as a soldier, using your titan powers to benefit humanity?] questioned Zackly
[Yes, I can!] said Eren
[And you, Uchiha?] questioned Zackly
[I can.] said Alex calmly. He didn't seem to be the least worried about the whole ordeal. Since the whole Eren attacking Mikasa didn't happen, Zackly continued.
[Then, I deem Uchiha and Yeager to belong to the Survey corps. They —] before Zackly could continue, Erwin raised his hand.
[Sir, if I may interrupt, I object. At an early age, Mikasa Ackerman lost her parents and was taken in by the Yeager household. Our investigations have also revealed a surprising fact about the underlying events. At age nine, Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman killed three robbers who tried to kidnap her. Even if it was self-defense, I must question their fundamental humanity. And as for Alex Uchiha, he appeared out of nowhere along with Kaguya Otsutsuki, with no information about themselves, or even their ancestry. Is it right to entrust humanities fate, resources, and lives to them?] questioned Nile
[Thats right!] screamed out a person
[Then they are titans, aren't they?!] screamed out another person while pointing to Kaguya and Mikasa.
[Wait! I may be a monster, but they have nothing to do with it! Nothing at all!]
[We can't trust that!]
[It's true!]
[If you're covering for her, it means she's one of you!]
[NO!!] screamed out Eren while pulling out his hands. They were still stuck, but it made a loud sound.
[I mean... You are wrong. But you're simply coming up with theories that fit whatever it suits you to think.] continued Eren
[What did you say?] questioned Nile
[Besides, all of you people... You've never even seen a titan! What are you so afraid of?] questioned Eren. He seemed to contemplate a little bit before regaining his confidence.
[What is the point if those with the means and power do not fight? If you're afraid to fight for survival, then help me! You... cowards! Just shut up! And bet everything you have on us!] screamed out Eren
(A/N: Ok, not going to lie, that felt pretty cringe on my end.)
[Weapons ready!] screamed out Nile. A gun was then pointed to Eren, and another one pointed out Alex. However, before anyone could talk, Levi came in and kicked Eren in the face. He was about to knee Alex as well but was stopped by his talk.
[I would be careful, Levi. The key to turning a titan shifter into a titan is an injury along with a will. You already injured Eren, and if he even had the thought of killing you, he would turn into a titan. And as for me..] said Alex. He opened his mouth and brought out his tongue out, revealing a small bite mark with blood flowing down slightly.
[I could turn into a titan right here, right now. Even if I can't kill you, I could kill most of the people here.] said Alex. Levi froze on the spot.
[If I may speak, I have a proposition to offer. Levi will supervise both of us without fail. He could certainly kill me and Eren, so what about it, sir?] questioned Alex towards Zackly. Erwin looks at Alex with both wide eyes and a shine in them.
[Ohhh? Levi, are you certain that you could take both of them on?] questioned Levi
[Eren has no control over his titan, and Alex is like an intelligent abnormal. There would be no problems.] said Levi while kicking Eren in the face again. Eren stares daggers at Levi, who ignores his pitiful resistance.
[Then it is settled. Eren Yeager and Alex Uchiha shall be assigned to Levi Ackerman. Dismissed.] said Zackly. Without any further interruptions, he left.
- Later -
Eren was being treated by Hange.
[Sorry, but if he didn't do that, we couldn't of have persuaded commander Zackly into giving you to us.] said Hange
[But quick thinking, Alex.] said Hange again with a smile while pulling out a Might Guy thumbs up.
[Yeah, whatever.] said Alex while rolling his eyes.
[Did you already know the bet I was going to make?] questioned Erwin to Alex.
[Who wouldn't. You have a habit of making gambles. Regarding anything. Anyone can find that information if you do a little digging.] said Alex. Erwin looked into his eyes and smirked a little bit.
[Seems like we got a genius here.]
