Chapter 12: On Trial!
The courtroom was abuzz with argument and confusion. "I don't think the people are very happy that they have to make another possibly dangerous decision," Von whispered from his position of being chained to a post. "It has only been a few minutes since they decided to keep Eren alive." Abby nodded. "We might not be so lucky."

"Yeah, well I knocked some sense into that hard-headed corporal," Aravis hissed from a few feet away." Told him we just wanted to go back home and didn't want any trouble." Batty looked mortified. "We can't go home yet! We have so much to do here! I haven't even -"

"Silence!" the judge yelled, slamming his hand down on the desk. "We will now hear the Military Police's argument against these young people." The seven users sighed in unison. Things were definitely not looking good for them. The head of the MPs cleared his throat. "After discovering Eren Jaeger's true identity, we have no reason to trust thses teenagers who have supposedly come here from another world! They could be titan shifters as well! We believe they should be executed."

"Now we will hear the Survey Corps."

"Come on, Erwin," Mad growled under his breath. "You're are only chance at surviving this." The commander couldn't hear him, but gave the group a sympathetic look. "We believe that these are simply a few innocent kids and they should be treated as such until we find a way for them to return 'home', whever that is. However, they will be questioned as extensively as possible."

Abby crossed her fingers. Levi might despise them, but Erwin was on their side and that meant maybe, just maybe they had a chance.

"The Survey Corps will take full responsibility for these people?" the judge asked, adjusting his glassses. Erwin nodded. "They will be completely under our care."

"It seems I have made my decision, then. They will be handed over to the Survey Corps."
