10 Shortest Civil War

The workers of Bastain Enterprise began entering the walls.

They were all trained and equipped with anti-personel vertical manoeuvring equipment, and so were the military police.

The people were hiding as well.

The Scouts were there as well fighting.

Levi and Kenny were also fighting but were interrupted when a member of the Military Police was thrown at where they were fighting.

The member and his neck snapped.

When they turned to see where the body came from, they were dumbfounded.

They saw David Bastian tearing apart his enemies like paper, and he was dodging every bullet. He had no ODM gear on as well.

Kenny, for the first time in his life, felt fear, as he saw David.

MC POV

Oh, this is really fun. The power of tearing through my enemies as if they were paper was incredible.

The Military Police were terrified at me, and soon, they ordered a retreat. But I wasn't finished with them.

As they tried running away, I chased them down and started killing all of them.

Then someone shot me from behind in the head, and my wound began healing.

One of the serum's powers is its healing powers. I think it combined with my Titan healing.

I pulled out the bullet with my fingers, and god, it was painful.

Kenny Ackerman was the one that shot me, and I slowly walked towards him.

He began firing at me, but it was futile as I dodged every bullet he shot.

"What the hell are you?"

I stood in front of him.

"Surrender, or end up like your comrades."

"Like hell."

He tried shooting again, but Levi knocked him out with the back of his blade.

Levi just looked at me with shock.

"How the hell.did you do all that."

I replied with a smile.

"Lots of experimentations, now let's go and regroup with the others."

My workers came and, with them, beaten up military police members.

Once we met with Erwin and the others, we began to gain information on where Historia is.

I forgot the location of where Historia was, so I captured Kenny.

Kenny was currently tied up.

"So this Kenny the Ripper, huh? how the might have fallen. Tell me why you serve Rod Reiss."

He answered.

"So that I can gain the Founding Titan."

I began laughing at his answer. I already knew what his goal was, but I found it funny that he thought he could take the Founding Titan and use it.

"You absolute imbecile, you don't know, do you? You're not even an Eldian. Only Eldians can inherit the Titan Powers. And besides, you're not even of royal blood. Those with royal blood can use the founder, and besides, even if you do, you won't be able to use it due to King Karl Fritz."

I explained more about Karl Fritz. Kenny was silent the whole time, but his face told me everything. He was beyond pissed.

"All this time, wanting the power of the Founder. Now I just find out it was all in vain."

He had his head down. You know, he could be a valuable asset.

"Yo Kenny, I have an offer for you."

Kenny looked up and looked curious about what I was going to offer him.

"Work for me, and you live."

He thought about my offer and then spoke.

"If I accept your offer, will there be a lot of dun for me."

"Trust me, there will be a lot of fighting and bloodshed."

He had a grin on his face.

"I accept your offer, so what's the plan now, boss?"

I untied him, but I didn't let my guard down one bit. I told him that we were going to kill Rod Reiss

"Never really liked that fat bastard. The fatass is a fucking coward."

He's right about that, anyways we went outside and everyone was on guard when they saw Kenny.

"It's fine. He agreed to work for me in exchange for his life. If he does betray us, I will kill him."

Levi was glaring at Kenny, and he gave him an evil grin.

We then found out where Historia was and came to the location.

As soon as we were underground, we were attacked by the military police who was shocked at seeing Kenny betraying them.

They were not able to speak as I was killing all of them.

The others were stunned at my superhuman powers, I was tearing my enemies apart one by one.

Some bullets hit me, but my healing dealt with that.

Soon, we found Historia and a Rod Reiss.

Rod looked scared when he saw me covered in blood, and I gave him a sinister grin.

"You must be Ros Reiss, Grisha Yeager told me about you."

"So you know about that man, then you know what he did."

I nodded.

"Yeah, he told me before giving me the Founding Titan."

Historia looked confused about what was going on. I don't think Historia knows about the truth yet.

Rod looked at his daughter.

"Listen, Historia, you must know the truth at once about your sister Frieda."

He looked at me nervously.

"It's alright fatass. Tell her the truth."

Rod Reiss told Historia all about how Grisha killed most of their family and stole the Founding Titan.

"You forgot to tell her about that poor excuse of a King. I'm talking about Karl Fritz. Tell her the truth, or I will feed you to the Titans."

Rod began sweating and told Historia about Karl Fritz and the vow he made.

Historia was stood there, taking in all this information.

Behind me was Levi and the others who came.

"Rod, you have two choices here Surrender or die."

He then looked desperately at Historia.

"Historia, my daughter, you must inject the serum now. It's the only way to -

"Yoink"

I snatched the serum from Rod.

"I lied Rod, you don't have two choices. You're going to die here. Kenny, you can have him."

Kenny grinned in anticipation as he walked over to Rod with a smirk, but Historia stopped him.

"Wait, please wait. Just give him a chance to explain himself. I'm sure he had a reason."

"Oh, he did have a reason. He wanted to take my power away from me and keep humanity weak. He's a traitor to humanity and will pay for his actions."

I continued.

"Historia, your father does not care for you. He's using you to regain the Founding Titan, and he won't do it because he doesn't want his life shortened. Isn't that right, Rod?"

"Don't listen to him. He's lying to you, Historia."

Historia looked conflicted about who to believe.

Rod continued.

"Make contact with him. You'll see how our family was murdered by Grisha Yeager."

"You sure you want to see Historia? It's going to be very disturbing."

She nodded her head. I held out my hand to her.

Historia grabbed my hand gently. She really had soft skin.

Then we saw the memories of Grisha Yeager. I showed her how Grisha begged Frieda to help the Eldians, but she refused.

Grisha then took the Founding Titan for himself and passed it down to me.

Historia looked shocked and in denial at her sisters apathy.

She began crying, and then she hugged me. Oh, for gods sake, she's getting my shirt dirty with her tears.

"You see, Historia, do you see what kind of monster Grisha is and how his successor is no different."

"Shut up."

Historia looked very pissed and angry.

"Frieda was a kind woman, and because of you and Karl Fritz, she changed. I will never forgive you for it."

Historia broke down crying and was comforted by the others. Rod started to look really desperate.

"Wait, Historia, please just listen to what I have to say."

"Kenny, shut him up, but don't kill him now. I want you to give him a slow and painful death.

Kenny nodded.

"You got it, boss."

He got out and gave Rod a very wide grin. Rod looked terrified at what awaited him.

Historia was escorted out of here, and I left but not before hearing the painful screams of Rod Reiss as he was tortued to death by Kenny.

We met up with Erwin and discussed what we were going to do.

The public was very happy to see me, which showed the amount of support I had.

Erwin wanted to talk to me, and so did the others. We were now at the top of the walls. Erwin spoke.

"What is it you plan to do now, David?"

"I plan on bringing back the Eldian Empire, strengthening our technologies, and finding someone to pass down my power to."

The last part was a lie. Armin then thought of something.

"When you say the Eldian Empire, are you trying to say that? You're going to rule over it."

"Yes, yes, I am Armin. Don't worry, I won't become a tyrant."

Erwin looked at me and Historia for a while and looked as though he came up with a solution.

What are you thinking about now, Erwin Smith?

Hange spoke.

"Who are you thinking about passing down your power to."

"Well, I thought about giving it to Eren Yeager, but sadly, he was killed by a Titan."

I replied with a sad tone. Armin and Mikasa looked sad as well.

"The only candidate I've chosen so far is Erwin, I thought about giving it to Levi, but he's not an Eldian."

"Why me?" Erwin asked.

"Because you're one of the few people I respect and admire. Like Eren and me, you wanted to see the outside world. You wanted humanity to push forward, and you are willing to make sacrifices in order to win."

Erwin smiled at my words.

"Thank you for your kind words, David."

And with that, the conversation was over. The next few weeks, I brought my technologies over to the people of the walls.

They all were stunned and excited about these new technologies.

The support from the public further grew, and some people believed that I should ascend to the throne.

Oh, I will ascend to the throne, but I won't be a king. I will become the Emperor.
