Today I finished Chapter 7, which is the third out of the four chapters introducing us to the main characters of the story. In this chapter, we meet Ethan Johnson, a member of the Survey Corps and a expert Titan killer. He and his squad are tasked with going outside the walls when they find out that the Titans managed to break through the wall (which protects them from Titans). In a hurry, Ethan and his squad get to the Shiganshida District, where they hold off the Titans so that the civilians can escape. They continue to do this until Ethan spots the Armored Titan. He notices that it is headed for the wall which leads into the rest of the human-controlled area. Ethan and his squad try to stop it, but are easily defeated. We then see an injured Ethan about to get eaten by a Titan.
Earlier, we see Agent T prepare for Agent N to come attack him. When he does, Agent T manages to teleport to the surface on a massive grassland area. When Agent N gets through, Agent T uses his special ability and grows. Using his ability, Agent N creates a giant robotic suit and the two engage each other in a massive battle.
As Agent T was gaining the upper hand, Agent N surprised him and sliced him through his Core, however it wasn't enough to destroy it. Due to the Core being damaged, multiple features the Core provides is disabled, like the armor's shield. Using this to his advantage, Agent N attacks Agent T with all of his power. He manages to critically injure Agent T, and escapes. Knowing he doesn't have much time, Agent T has his Core being the replacement process, where it finds the next Protector. The Core locates Ethan Johnson, and teleports to him.
Just as he's about to be crushed, Ethan sees a bright light revealing the Core. It then latches onto him and gives him enough strength to stop the Titan. Before Ethan has time to think, he's teleported by Verndari. This is where the chapter ends.
For all those who didn't understand what happened in this chapter; it takes place in Universe T (the Titan Universe). This Universe takes ideas from the manga/anime series, Attack on Titan. In fact, this chapter takes place during the first episode or first chapter of the anime/manga. In this Universe, there are giants known as Titans, who love eating humans. Humanity has hid itself behind three walls, and have been at peace for nearly 200 years until interrupted one day when a Titan managed to break through the walls, letting hundreds of Titans through. Now, humanity is on the defensive.
To make sure that people aren't confused, I made a list of Universes and what's going on with them during the time of this story called the Guide to the Multiverse at the beginning of the book. This is meant to make people understand what is going on in these Universes and what they are so that when they are reading it, they don't get confused. That's also what the side comments are for.
Before I end the blog, here are a few interesting facts about the characters and this chapter:
*Agent T's contingency plan was a vial containing a Titan serum. This serum would have given someone the ability to turn into a Titan.
*While Ethan has Agent T's Light Core, it is more limited as the Core was damaged by Agent N.
*Agent T was one of the Protectors Verndari teleported in Chapter 4.
