{::Thread transfer rogue--yeager to i-n-g-r-i-m-m. Wrong Titan with titan-pilot-abe::}
[Abe]: Well, the Militia managed to kick the IMC out of another territory. This was good, the more IMC dead, the better. Abe was currently doing a final sweep of the area to make sure all the IMC were dead, when suddenly his Titan indicated that he was being subjected to a Rodeo Attack by an unknown individual.
Abe assumed the worst and thought it was a surviving IMC Pilot, so he quickly climbed out of his Titan as it chirped, “Auto-Titan engaged” and made his way around back to shoot whoever was Rodeoing his Titan.
To Abe’s complete surprise, he saw that the man who Rodeoed his Titan was a boy, no older than 15. He was apparently armed with a pair of…wait, were those SWORDS?! In this day and age? His outfit didn’t mark him as IMC or Militia, but one thing was sure: That asshole was swinging away at his Titan (and apparently hitting the plating, as the energy shields were flaring up).
"OI, OFFA MY TITAN!" Abe yelled, firing a couple rounds from his Carbine at the kid, intentionally missing but trying to get his attention. He was clearly pissed that someone was attempting to destroy his Titan.

[Eren]:
The brunet was baffled. There were so many of these odd variants of titan. They seemed like they were made of iron, and they shoot fire or lightning. They were also fast sometimes and would evade attacks, or when they were attacked not a scratch was left on the metal bodies. Eren never saw anything like this before.
Eren, despite seeing how nearly invincible these titans were, maneuvered his way and readying his blades. The hunter put up a spin, driving his blades into, what he assumed was, the nape of an iron titans neck. The titan came out fine, not a scratch against the metal. However Eren’s blades didn’t make it.
The boy switched out his blades as he swung around with his 3DMG, speeding toward the titan and landing on the back, holding on for dear life. Once he secured his footing, he began to slash away at the back. Though, he stopped when he heard shouting, and looked up. Before he could say anything Eren heard a couple of ear shattering bangs and yelped, tripping off of the titan. Luckily, he managed to grab onto the arm of the titan.

[Abe]:
Goddamn was this kid a dumbass. Trying to take out Titans with swords, who does that? Abe decided not to question it. Abe’s Auto-Titan noticed Eren holding onto its arm and tried to shake him off, while Abe jumped, activated his Jump Jets to get higher, and tried to boot Eren in the head from above to get him to let go of his Titan.
"I SAID, OFFA MY TITAN, ASSHOLE!" Abe yelled as he attempted this. This guy clearly wasn’t happy at Eren’s shenanigans.
---
[Eren]: Once the titan started shaking him around, Eren began to feel dizzy. He heard some more shouting and looked up, gasping and letting go before getting a boot to the face. Before he could hit the ground, the brunet shot the tethers of his gear into the arm of the titan, launching himself into the air and maneuvering some feet away to get some distance.
---
[Abe]: So this moron happened to have some jump jets like him? Either he was a Pilot, or well-equipped, especially considering that these jets seemed more sophisticated than his. He quickly readied his Carbine, and his Titan pointed its 40mm Cannon at Eren. And the latter was a really, REALLY big gun.
"Alright dumbass, I wanna know who you are, who you work for, and why the fuck you just Rodeoed my Titan like that," Abe demanded. "If I don’t get answers, me and my big friend here are gonna riddle you so full of holes your mother will be feeling it.”
It did not seem to strike Abe that Eren’s mother was dead. Which only made his threat seem a bit harsher in some ways, when one thinks about it.
---
[Eren]: Eren growled at that. His mother’s death was still a touchy subject for him, and most touchy subjects often pissed him off. And right now, he was enraged.
”Eren Yeager. I work for the Survey Corps. I’m here to take out any titan I see.” he answered. ”I ‘Rodeoed’ your titan to take it out. You say that thing is a titan, then it’s my target, and I still intend to destroy it.”
Shifting his direction to face the titan and the human, the young man made a beeline for his target, launching forward, blades ready in hands.
---
[Abe]: Well, if that wasn’t the dumbest thing that Abe had ever heard about, he didn’t know what was. Abe quickly fired a couple shots from his Carbine at Eren, aiming at the center mass to maximize his chances of hitting him. His Titan also fired the 40mm, intentionally making a close miss while saying, “Engaging hostile target” loud enough for Eren to hear.
Assuming Eren kept going forward though, the Auto-Titan would then reach out with its left hand to grab him and hold him still. It could be possible for Eren to avoid the hand, if he managed to correct his flight path in time.
---
[Eren]: He learned quickly to jerk his body to either side when he heard a bang, losing his balance a bit every time he shifted suddenly and relaunching his teathers. He continued forward, looking incredibly displeased, to say the least, and gripping his pairing blades tightly. Though, he tried to break his speed and stop when he saw the titan’s arm reach out for him.
---
[Abe]: Now, the funny thing about momentum is that it takes a while for it to stop. Which meant that Eren was grabbed by the Titan’s arm and held in place. Abe seemed confused by Eren’s tactics. ”Anybody ever tell ya ‘don’t bring a sword to a gunfight’? Seriously, why would you charge two people with guns head-on with a pair of swords?” he asked. ”That just seems really inefficient to me.”
---
[Eren]: Eren tried to get out of the titan’s grasp, wiggling and squirming, even hitting the hand with the hilt of his blades. Not that that would ever work on an actual titan. The brunet glared up at the other man. ”Sorry. Had I known you were going to use guns I would have brought a flare gun with me, and shot you right in the face…”
---
[Abe]: He was still struggling. Abe decided to ask the first question on his mind. ”Why the hell are you so angry at Titans and so determined to destroy them?” he asked. ”I mean, I can’t see a reason as to why you’d try to haphazardly destroy easily replaceable military hardware with a pair of swords.
"Couldn’t you have at least equipped yourself with an R-101C Carbine and an Anti-Titan Weapon for this job? You’ll never destroy any Titans with those old things. You don’t stand a chance of getting past the energy shields, let alone damaging the plating or internal components."
…That clearly doesn’t sound like any Titan that Eren had fought, judging by that description. Since when did Titans have energy shields or internal components? …For that matter, since when could Titans use weapons? This Titan was clearly holding onto a 40mm Cannon like it was a rifle, and it did fire it at Eren, indicating that it knew how to use it.
---
[Eren]: Not only was he angry about the first question, and the memories of his mother’s death, the only reason behind his rage against the Titans, but he was also frustrated that he didn’t understand a single word that followed through the second question. ‘R-101C Carbine’? ‘Energy shields’? And weren’t his pairing blades enough of an Anti-Titan weapon?
”I don’t know what the hell any of that means! And it’s none of your business why I want to exterminate every single giant-ass sone of a bitch on this planet!”
