Chapter 6 – The Cadet Training

“Did I say you could slow down, maggots?” Instructor Shadis barked at the soldiers marching through the rain in their green ponchos. Each and every one of them had a full pack on their back as well as they jogged along the path through the woods in formation. “Arlert! Pick up the pace!” He yelled back at the struggling blonde teen.

“Y-Yes sir!” Armin panted out as he struggled to keep up with the formation. Physical exertion like this wasn’t his strong suit. But he’d do it, he refused to fail the training. He pumped his legs harder after readjusting the pack on his back. He was barely able to keep formation, but he was doing it.

Meanwhile, in their various places within the formation of cadets, the Shifters were performing the exercise much easier thanks to their physical benefits. Reiner and Bertholdt were barely breathing hard thanks to their previous military training and their Shifter ability. Annie wasn’t having any issues with this training either. Eren, Mikasa, Ymir, Sasha, and Krista were all keeping pace without issue. It was a notable difference for the petite blonde girl that usually struggled to keep formation.

-ODM Gear Training-

“Targets Four and Five are live!” Shadis yelled out to the cadets swinging through the course. The targets were wooden silhouettes of Titans. Each of the various sizes and positions of these built to size targets had a single soft target on the nape of the neck. It was the only known weak spot of a Titan and a deep enough strike there would kill the man-eating giants in a single blow. Other Instructors were pulling on ropes at the base of the targets, turning them to mimic movement and change the direction the airborne cadets would have to strike from.

“Got it!” Eren flew past Target Four and a section of the soft padding went flying to the forest floor a second later. Shadis noted the timing, speed, and precision of the strike as he gave marks to the brunette cadet.

“Hnngh!” Mikasa rocketed past Target Five and the padded section had a deep piece missing. The wedge of padding fell thirteen meters and hit the forest floor with a thud.

“Targets Six, Seven, and Eight are live!” Shadis barked out after getting the signal he’d been waiting for.

“On it!” Ymir was quick to shook out a wire to change direction as the target was sharply turned to ‘face’ her. She swung in a wide arc and slashed deeply through the padded target.

“Yahoo!” Connie flew past Target Six and showed his impressive mobility by flanking the target twice as it was moved, before striking the kill spot perfectly.

“Yah!” Krista swung low, her feet almost touching the ground, before firing off a little more of her pressurized gas to shoot upwards. She’d timed it well as she slowed just as she came even with the padded target. Two simultaneous strikes with her swords saw a wedge of the padding flying off the fake Titan.

‘They’re starting to get the hang of this.’ Shadis nodded as he continued to mark down scores. The Head Instructor looked over the forested course to watch other Cadets attempt to strike the proper targets. He counted about a dozen Cadets that were above the rest.

-Survival Training-

“Took a few tries, but we’re together again, Armin.” Eren grinned as the two friends hefted their packs onto their backs.

“It happened a little faster than I thought, to be honest.” Armin smiled back at Eren as they left the longhouse and headed for their assigned wagon. Both of them knew what would be happening on this particular trip.

“You two were slow.” Ymir teased the two of them with a grin. She and their fourth partner were already sitting in the wagon.

“Eren!” Sasha beamed at the green-eyed teen happily.

“Hey, Sasha.” Eren chuckled as he sat next to the bubbly girl.

“Because of the drop outs we even get a fifth member this time.” Ymir grinned happily as Krista jogged towards their wagon.

“Sorry for being slow.” The cute girl apologized as she pulled herself up into the wagon. “I had to go back for something.”

“We could never be mad at you, Krista!” Ymir pulled the blonde into her side with a warm smile.

“Sit down and shut up.” The instructor called out to the five cadets. “We’ll be taking the southern mountain pass so it’s going to be a slightly longer ride. If your chatter doesn’t involve planning to pass this exercise, then I don’t want to hear it.”

“Yes, sir!” The five Cadets promptly called back as the instructor lightly snapped the reins and the horses began to pull the wagon.

-Campsite-

“We’ll be back for you on the morning of the fourth day as usual.” The instructor looked over the five cadets. “You know how this works, failure to pass this exercise will see you booted from the Corp.”

“Sir, yes sir!” The five saluted the older man. He gave them a nod before getting back into the coachman’s seat and heading out.

As soon as the wagon disappeared around the first bend, Eren found his arms full of a happy Sasha. His lips were captured by the wild girl and the two shared a long kiss. Eren wrapped his arms around Sasha’s waist and pulled her flush against him. Sasha hummed happily into their kiss as her arms wrapped around his shoulders. The two only broke away when the need for air became too much.

“Hehehehe…I’ve been wanting to do that for a while!” Sasha grinned brightly at her boyfriend.

“Me too.” Eren admitted with a chuckle at the excitable woman in his arms.

“You’ve got two more girls that want kisses too, Lover Boy.” Ymir teased and Krista squeaked cutely, her cheeks a healthy pink as her blue eyes met Eren’s green.

“Don’t mind me…” Armin stage whispered while facing the opposite direction. Eren could hear the smile in Armin’s voice even without being able to see his friend’s face.

Ymir pushed Krista forward and Sasha moved from Eren’s arms. The petite blonde smiled bashfully up at Eren before inclining her head. Their lips met and Krista let out a pleased hummed when Eren wrapped his arms around her. She loved this closeness, the affection and care Eren showed her on these rare chances that they could express their feelings for each other. When their lips separated the two were smiling warmly at one another.

“Krista sandwich….” Ymir’s breathy whisper in the blonde’s ear made her shiver pleasantly. Ymir pressed herself against Krista’s back and leaned over to capture Eren’s lips. The blonde was red-faced as she was trapped between Eren and Ymir. When the two Prime Shifters separated with satisfied grins on their lips, Ymir gently turned Krista to face her and softly captured the other young woman’s lips.

“Mmmph…Ymir…” Krista mumbled into the lip-lock before her eyes closed and she leaned into the taller woman.

“I kinda wanna try that…” Sasha giggled as she group-hugged the other three.

“Wish granted!” Ymir had a wide smile on her face as she captured Sasha’s lips. The two lovely brunettes moaned lowly into their kiss for a moment before pulling away. “How was it?”

“Not bad…” Sasha admitted with a small smile. “But I’d need to compare it to another.” She chuckled as her eyes met Krista’s and the blonde blushed at what the other woman was implying.

“Maybe later?” Krista looked down shyly. She accepted the warm hug from Sasha a second later.

“Sure thing, Krista!” Sasha snuggled the angel-like teen.

Their first day started out with a familiar routine. They gathered firewood, a latrine was dug, water was collected, filtered, and boiled, and their tents set up for the duration of their stay. The five gathered what edible plants and nuts they could find from the forest and paired it with some of their hardtack to make it more palatable. Sasha complained about the overly salty taste of the hardtack but ate it all anyway. It was after night had fallen that the group deviated from the familiar routine of these training exercises.

“Are you ready for this, Armin?” Eren had his shirt and jacket off as Ymir gently extracted the syringe from between his vertebrae. They’d already extracted the proper amount of blood and now Ymir just needed to wait a moment for the two fluids to mix.

“Yes, I want to help and this will make it much easier.” Armin nodded resolutely. There was a fire in the shorter teen’s eyes and Eren smiled at his friend.

“I’ll transform first. Annie says my Founding Type should help other Shifters regain their senses if I use it correctly.” Krista offered with a smile as she nicked herself with one of the survival knives each Cadet was given with their kit.

Armin watched on in amazement as a bolt of bright yellow lightning struck the other blonde and she transformed before his eyes. The bones of Krista’s Titan formed first, raising the girl about thirteen meters into the air. Even with the bright light, Armin didn’t look away for a second as he watched the ligaments, tendons and muscles form and cover the bones. The skin formed to cover the muscles next, the blemish-free skin a near perfect match for Krista’s normal skin. Lastly, a full head of long, blonde hair fell down the Titan’s back, stopping just above the butt of the giant.

“So, that’s what it looks like…” Armin breathed out. He was also blinking his eyes slightly to clear the spots in them. It was a startling transformation, to be sure. But it fit with everything that Eren had told him before. “I’m ready.” He rolled up his sleeve and offered his oldest friend his forearm.

“Thank you, Armin.” Eren gave his best friend a truly grateful smile as he gently inserted the needle into the shorter guy’s arm. The plunger was depressed and the mixture entered Armin’s veins. Eren extracted the needle before booking it into the trees behind Krista’s Titan with Ymir and Sasha.

“It feels… hot…almost burning…” Armin grimaced before a series of sparks danced along his arm. The tiny injury from the needle welled up with a bit of blood and as soon as one of the yellow sparks touched it the transformation began.

The familiar bolt of yellow lightning struck the blonde man as he transformed for the first time. The bones of his Titan formed first, as normal, and gave a good indication of Armin’s transformed height. The growing Titan looked like it would top out at about five meters, the shortest Titan the small group had seen so far. The group watched on as the ligaments, tendons and muscles formed one after another to cover the bones. The skin that formed to cover the muscles and was slightly darker than Armin’s complexion. A full head of blonde hair formed on the Titan’s head as the transformation was completed.

“He’s a Jaw!” Ymir declared as she noticed the masked face and the large claws of Armin’s Titan Form.

“RAAAAARRRRGGHHHH!!!” Armin’s Titan Form roared out as his eyes snapped open. The Jaw Type dropped to all fours before locking onto Krista’s Titan Form.

“Armin! ARMIN!!!” Eren yelled to try and get through to his best friend.

“Armin…stop.” Krista raised her hand and tried to calm Armin down with her Founding Type ability. She blinked when she didn’t feel anything happen.

“RAAAAAGGGHHH!!!” Armin leapt at Krista with his right arm cocked back for a vicious slash.

“Armin! Stop it! That’s Krista!!!” Eren continued to bellow at his transformed friend.

Armin slashed the arm the Krista raised to block. The Titan flesh was severed easily under the Jaw Type’s hardened claws. Krista’s left arm fell to the forest floor with a crash. The jaws of Armin’s Titan latched onto Krista’s right arm tightly. Blood splattered and steam rose through the air as the other arm was quickly being chewed through.

“Armin! That’s Krista you’re eating!” Sasha yelled at the out-of-control Titan.

“Why isn’t Krista activating her ability?” Ymir questioned loudly. She was seconds away from transforming and tearing Armin off of Krista.

“STOP!!!” Krista’s Titan Form suddenly bellowed and all of the Shifters felt a spark in their heads for an instant.

Armin’s Titan body seemed to lock up entirely. The awkward position of the limbs denoting that they’d stopped in whatever position they’d been in while the wild Jaw Type had been clawing at Krista. The five-meter Titan fell from Krista’s damaged right arm and hit the ground like a rock. A cloud of dust was thrown up from the impact.

“Krista! Are you alright?” Ymir yelled up to the transformed girl.

“I…I’m…fine.” The slow speech of Krista’s Titan informed them a few seconds later.

“Armin?! Armin, are you back with us?” Eren called out into the slowly fading dust cloud.

The Jaw Type sat up from the ground and seemingly looked around in confusion. The five-meter Titan began looking itself over curiously and Eren knew Armin was back in control. He walked forward and saw the blue eyes he’d known for years in the masked face of the Jaw Type Titan. Armin stopped examining his Titan Form and looked at the approaching Eren. The jaws opened and closed, but no words were forth coming it seemed.

“Can’t talk?” Eren questioned as he heard Ymir and Sasha approaching.

“Arrrgkh…maah…shhh.” Armin was able to produce sounds that might’ve been words, but either his Titan Form couldn’t speak or he needed a lot more practice.

“Can you get out, Armin?” Ymir asked her fellow Jaw Type. A long moment later and a burst of steam appeared from the back of the new Titan’s neck. Armin struggled to pull himself from the Titan flesh for a little bit. He slid down the back of his slowly decaying Titan and shakily took a few steps.

“I lost it, didn’t I?” Armin looked between the regenerating form of Krista’s Titan and the looks on his friends’ face.

“Yeah, but Krista got you back to your senses.” Sasha smiled at the boy.

“That was so weird…it was like I was dreaming.” Armin tried to put the experience to words. “I wasn’t really aware of anything.”

“It happens to all of us the first time.” Eren patted Armin’s shoulder. “The good news is that you’re a Jaw Type and Ymir is the Prime Jaw Titan. She can show you how to get the most out of your Titan Form.”

“Training won’t be easy, but this forest will let us make the most of our Type’s mobility advantages.” Ymir smirked at the shorter Shifter.

“I’ll do my best.” Armin declared strongly, his eyes were alight with determination.

“That’s good, I’d have to kick your ass if you were slacking off.” Ymir threatened and pulled Armin into a noogie. Armin squawked and demanded to be released as Sasha and Eren laughed.

Krista, seeing that all the danger had passed, kneeled down in her Titan Form. A blast of steam from the nape and the cute blonde girl emerged. Ymir was quick to let go of Armin and go help Krista down. The tall brunette smiled warmly at the smaller blonde as she held her close. “I’m glad I was able to help.” She smiled and everyone saw the divine light around her once more.

“Thanks for snapping me out of it, Krista.” Armin bowed to the other Shifter.

“You did great!” Sasha hugged the blue-eyed girl with a laugh.

“It was so much easier with you taking care of it, thank you, Krista.” Eren smiled at the girl. Krista felt her cheeks warm but gave him a radiant smile in return.

“Oh…damn…” Armin put his hand to his face as he swayed on his feet. Eren helped him sit down at the campfire a second later.

“You alright, Armin?” Eren questioned his best friend.

“Yeah…just got hit with a strong wave of drowsiness.” Armin lightly shook his head. “Is the transformation always this exhausting?”

“It gets easier over time.” Ymir assured him as the girls sat around the fire. “As a Jaw Type you’ll probably top out at around three consecutive transformations. But only the third one will be truly tiring.”

“Well, that’s good to know.” Armin was clearly having trouble keeping his eyes open.

“Let’s get you to bed, buddy.” Eren helped Armin to his feet. “You’ll sleep this off and feel better in the morning.”

“Here’s hoping…” Armin covered his mouth as he yawned. After Eren had gotten Armin settled for the night he returned to the three girls at the campfire.

“That’s our entire group now made Shifters, so that’s step one completed.” Ymir smiled at finally having some progress towards their groups overall goal.

“Yeah, but it’s still only the beginning.” Eren looked up at the stars and moon. “Once we become soldiers, then the hard part starts.”

“Getting allies among the top Brass, right?” Sasha recalled and received nods from Ymir and Eren.

“We’ll have to be careful.” Krista looked worried. “You heard what Annie said about the Secret Police that keep the current regime in power.”

“We’ll need to get the Survey Corp on our side first.” Eren reminded the girls as he looked thoughtful. “If Commander Erwin becomes an ally, then the rest of the Survey Corp will follow. They’re the strongest in terms of combat, even if they have the fewest numbers.”

“Didn’t Annie want you to practice with the Prime Founding as much as possible?” Ymir cocked an eyebrow at Eren.

“Yeah, she thinks I might be able to control where the Prime Titans end up going after the current user’s death if I can use the Prime Founding Titan.” Eren explained to the small group. “She has a few different ideas for taking back the Prime Colossal Titan and the Prime Armor Titan. We’re not sure which one we’ll have to try when the time comes yet.”

“I don’t like that we’re going to have to fight and kill our own people, but I understand the necessity.” Sasha hummed sadly as she looked into the fire. Eren wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gently pulled her into a side hug. Sasha smiled softly as she laid her head on his shoulder.

“Yeah, but they’re not going to give us a choice.” Ymir grimaced and only smiled when Krista leaned against her. The blonde gave the freckled woman a warm smile as she tried to offer comfort. Ymir happily wrapped an arm around Historia’s waist and kissed the top of her head.

“It’s not going to be easy, nor are we going to feel good about everything.” Eren took a deep breath. “But if we want to survive, then we need a change of leadership. We’ll be waiting behind the walls like sheep waiting to be slaughtered otherwise.”

It was quiet around the campfire for several long minutes after that.

“Maybe we should head to bed too?” Krista spoke up softly.

“Yeah, that’s probably for the best.” Sasha agreed with the Founding Type Shifter.

“Eren’s tent is big enough for four, we’ve tested it.” Ymir grinned, hoping to raise the groups’ spirits a little.

“Come on,” Eren welcomed them to share the night with him.

The four slipped into the tent, finding it a bit snug with so many. Eren removed his jacket first and Ymir followed next. Sasha had no issue and slipped off her jacket. Krista was lightly pink, but took off her jacket after a moment. Eren removed his shirt and snorted when Ymir wolf-whistled lowly. Sasha was drinking in the sight of Eren’s bare chest with a smile. Krista was openly staring and Eren watched her blue eyes move up and down his torso.

“Fair is fair.” Sasha giggled softly as she unbuttoned her shirt and showed Eren her bra-clad breasts.

“They’re not the biggest…” Krista mumbled cutely as she opened her shirt to show her own bra-covered girls.

“We all know that your best asset is down here.” Ymir teased as her hands ran over Krista’s bottom.

“Ymir!” Krista squeaked and blushed.

“You’re both beautiful.” Eren leaned forward and captured Krista’s lips in a soft kiss.

“Eren…” Krista hummed happily after they separated.

“Pants off, Eren.” Ymir urged while hugging Krista close.

Eren pulled his pants off, leaving himself only in the standard-issued boxers. Sasha locked eyes with him, her dark brown eyes gazing into Eren’s deep green. The mountain girl slipped her pants off with only a small blush on her cheeks. A little smile on her lips while she did it. Krista followed suit after some encouragement form Ymir. The adorable blonde almost fully exposed to Eren’s eyes. Ymir easily pulled her own pants off and then smiled hungrily at Eren as she unclipped her bra and tossed it aside. Her perky tits bounced a little under his gaze and Ymir felt a pleasant thrill go through her body.

“D-Don’t stare…” Krista requested as she removed her bra next. Eren did his best to heed her wishes. But her beautiful breasts and pure skin made him gently reach out to cup one of her tits. “Ooh~” Krista let out a cute noise as she felt Eren’s warm hand on her breast.

“Don’t forget me…” Sasha giggled as she pulled her bra off and let her girls bounce. She was easily the bustiest of the three women and was happy when Eren’s gaze locked onto her nearly naked figure. His free hand came up and softly cupped one of her tits. Sasha hummed pleasurably as Eren kneaded and fondled her breast.

“Look at you, Eren…getting two girls all worked up at the same time.” Ymir teased as she watched Eren and Sasha kiss. “Don’t leave me out~”

“Ymir…” Krista looked up and when Ymir looked at the blonde, she found her lips captured. The two women kissed, sharing their affection for each other happily. Krista mewled into Ymir’s lips when the taller girl began to grope her ass.

“That’s kinda hot…” Sasha giggled as she and Eren watched the make-out. Eren began to play with both of Sasha’s tits while kissing her neck. The mountain girl moaned hotly as Eren pleased her. She dropped her hand down to cup his growing length over his boxers. “Eren~”

“Mmm~” Ymir pated as she and Krista separated. “Where did this come from?” She smiled brightly as she held Krista against her body. Their naked torsos pressing against each other caused several pleasant sensations.

“The mood?” Krista answered bashfully only to be hugged warmly and receive a kiss on top of her head.

“Love you too, Krista.” Ymir murmured affectionately to the blonde.

“Love you, Ymir.” Krista hugged the Prime Jaw Titan Shifter with a beautiful smile on her lips. She was amazed at how good it felt to hear those words. Knowing that she was truly loved by Ymir and Eren made Krista’s heart swell with warmth.

“Hah~” Sasha moaned louder than she probably intended. “Ymir…what do I do with this?” What ‘this’ was, turned out to be Eren’s hard shaft in her hand. She was lazily stroking it as Eren continued to play with her breasts and lay kisses on her shoulder, neck, and lips.

“Let me show you.” Ymir’s smile was as naughty as it could get as she brought Krista to lay next to her in front of Eren’s exposed cock. Sasha removed her hand and threaded her now free hand through Eren’s brown locks. Eren inhaled sharply as Ymir kissed the tip of his dick. Their eyes locked before Ymir grinned and licked him from base to tip.

“Oh wow…” Krista murmured as she watched Ymir lick and kiss Eren’s length.

“Ready…my King?” Ymir purred at her boyfriend. She took him into her mouth and began to descend slowly.

“Oh fuck…” Eren rumbled from deep in his chest. Sasha grinned with hazy eyes at the show even as Eren’s hands continued to play with her bosom.

Ymir took what she could into her mouth and even let his tip touch her throat a few times. The sounds she made and the heat inside the tent was building an atmosphere that none of them had experienced before. Krista leaned forward and laid a kiss on Eren’s thigh, her blue eyes hazy as Ymir’s free hand played with her body. Eren tried to keep himself still, but his hips bucked slightly.

“Gagkh!” Ymir gagged as he entered her throat for an instant. “Hah~ Easy big boy…we’ve got plenty of time.” She shot Eren a smoldering look before taking him between her lips again.

“Damn…” Eren hissed as Ymir pulled Krista closer and the blonde nuzzled against his thigh. He could feel her panting breath against his balls and the sensation was doing things to his brain. He gently bit Sasha’s neck, something that made the brunette moan, when Krista kissed his sack lightly. Her pillowy lips felt amazing and he forced himself not to buck into Ymir’s mouth again.

“Eren…” Sasha captured his lips and deepened their kissing. Tongues came out to play as they began kissing as deeply as possible.

Ymir hummed as she continued to bob her head along Eren’s shaft. Krista was getting into it as she licked one of Eren’s balls and seemed to be mimicking Ymir’s sucking. Eren played with Sasha more, his hands having already slipped into the girl’s panties to please her. With the situation, Ymir wasn’t surprised when Eren’s hips began to buck slightly again.

“I…I’m gonna…” Eren warned them before Sasha pulled his lips back to hers. She was apparently hitting her peak as well.

“Mmmph!” Ymir let out a cross between a gasp and a moan as her tongue was covered in Eren’s seed. The taste wasn’t one that she’d ever forget. She swallowed the first shot and the second. She collected the third and fourth in her mouth before pulling back. That proved to be enough for Eren to fire a fifth shot onto her cheek.

“Holy…fuck…” Eren panted while holding the trembling Sasha close as she practically rode his fingers.

“Ymir?” Krista blinked as the brunette gently grasped her chin and kissed her. “Mmmph!” The blonde’s blue eyes snapped open wide when some of Eren’s load was deposited into her mouth. The taste was unexpected and hard to describe, but Krista didn’t think it was bad. The blonde swallowed as she’d seen Ymir do and mewled as she laid against Eren.

“Mmm…share~” Sasha knew what Ymir was doing now and happily met her fellow brunette for a naughty kiss. The two swapped the remainder of Eren’s seed and Sasha moaned lowly as she swallowed her share. “I like it, Eren.” She breathed hotly into her boyfriend’s ear.

“We have a few nights…” Ymir reminded the other girls before she pressed herself into Eren’s free side. “You have two more girls to take care of too, my King.” She teased before kissing his neck. She moaned when Eren’s hand slipped into her panties and began to slowly work her up and play with her.

“Oh wow…” Krista murmured as she leaned in to watch. That only made it hotter for Ymir who happily spread her legs a little wider to give Krista a better view.

Armin would be confused when he was the first one up the next morning.
