Episode 3

A Slap On Titan

Inside the Squad’s Base – Night

Eren sits alone in his room, staring at the candlelight. His mind is full of questions. That soldier... claiming to be from 802… it’s too familiar. Too strange.*

Eren: to himself* Why does this keep happening? Why 802? What’s waiting for me there?

A strange sound echoes in the room—like wind blowing inside a closed space. Suddenly, the air begins to ripple, and a faint blue glow surrounds Eren.*

Eren: its been so long..

His vision distorts. The room fades. The last thing he hears is Mikasa calling out faintly.*

Mikasa: Eren!!

Year 802 – Outside the Old Walls of Maria

Eren gasps, collapsing into a grassy field. The sky is gray. The wall looks older—less damaged. It’s silent.*

Eren: panting* I’m... back. Year 802…

A soft voice echoes in his mind:

Mysterious Voice:

You’ve returned, Eren Jaeger. You are the bridge between past and future.

Eren: Who are you? Show yourself.

A figure appears from the mist. A girl with silver eyes and long dark hair. She looks like she knows him.*

???: calmly* You changed the future, Eren. And now, the past is trying to erase you.

Eren: What are you talking about? Who are you?

???: softly* My name is Kira Fritz... the first royal child born after the fall of the original Titans. And I know what you're trying to stop.

Eren: shocked* Fritz...? You’re from the royal family? Then you must know everything!

Kira: I do. Including the one who’s trying to change time to become the next Founding Titan... Rod Braun.

Eren: Rod Braun again... I saw him here before... He’s supposed to be born later.

Kira: He was never supposed to exist in this time—but he does, because someone rewrote the past.

Eren: Then I have to stop him... before he becomes stronger than the Founding Titan ever was.

Kira: placing her hand on Eren’s chest*

You only have one hour in this time. After that… the world may collapse.

Kira uses her power to bring eren back to the future..*

Eren: Did she just bring me back to the future..?

As Eren got back from the year 851 suddenly a random man staring at him..

Jinshi Zuigetsu’s mind*

Is he the son of Grisha Jaeger? That means... he carries the power I’ve been searching for.

Jinshi smiles at Eren, but his eyes are cold, calculating

Jinshi: It’s an honor to finally meet you... Eren Jaeger.

Eren: narrowing his eyes*

Who are you?

Jinshi: Oh, I know a lot about you. Your father... your powers... even your little time travel problem.

Eren: stepping back slightly*

And? what do you want from me?

Jinshi: smirks* I want the future. The one only the Jaegerist bloodline can unlock. And you, Eren... you're standing in my way

Eren: gritting his teeth*

Then come and take it.

Jinshi: smiling wickedly*

I knew you’d say that.

In a flash, Jinshi dashes forward with speed almost like an Ackerman. Eren leaps back, activating his ODM gear, barely dodging Jinshi’s blade.*

Eren: thinking*. He’s fast! Almost like Mikasa... No—faster. What is he?

Jinshi: laughing* You think the Jaegerist power is yours to protect? I’ve been preparing for this moment for years, Eren.

Eren: angrily*

Just so you know I’m stronger than you.

Jinshi charges at Eren, swinging his blades. Eren dodges it*

Jinshi: charging like a blur, his blades flashing*

You're not ready for what I’ve become, Eren!

Eren: dodging, parrying with his own blades, eyes burning with focus* I’ve fought Titans... monsters… even my own friends. You’re nothing new.

Jinshi: slashes Eren’s shoulder, grinning

You bleed like the rest.

Eren: grits teeth, blood dripping

And I fight harder when I bleed.

Suddenly, Eren spins midair with his ODM gear, launching off a building and twisting behind Jinshi with explosive force. His blade clashes with Jinshi's, sending a shockwave through the air.*

Eren: thinking*

I can’t overpower him head-on... but I don’t need to. I’ve learned from the best.

Eren slams a smoke bomb to the ground—vanishing into the mist. Jinshi coughs, disoriented.*

Jinshi: growling* Coward! Show yourself!

A sudden whoosh—and Eren appears behind him, using the mist as cover. He slices clean through Jinshi’s ODM canister, sending him tumbling to the ground.*

Jinshi: panting on one knee, shocked*

No... no way...

Eren: walking slowly toward him, eyes glowing with fury*. You underestimated me. That was your mistake

With one final burst, Eren strikes with precision, knocking Jinshi’s blades out of his hands.

Eren: The future isn’t yours to take.

It’s mine to protect.

Jinshi tries to reach for a hidden blade, but Eren stomps his hand.

Eren: It’s over.

Mikasa came's

Mikasa: Eren!! Are you okay?? You suddenly passed out earlier.. says worriedly*

Eren: Im fine mikasa it was just nothing...

After a years, Eren is trapped in the year 802 because he kept changing the present and it can cause a memory loss, and then he saw Kira Fritz the one who trapped him... Kira Fritz send eren back* Eren was trapped in the year 802 for 3 years
