Rise Of The Titans

Chapter 10: Act 1, Scene 10



Previously on Rise of the Titans: Kaneki and Radasa’s bond grows stronger after facing Gora, with Radasa’s intense transformation and Kaneki’s intervention guiding her through. They share a brief yet significant moment together, solidifying their connection as they prepare for the battles ahead.

The air around Radasa and Kaneki crackled with tension, their breathing steady but their bodies still aching from the recent battle. Radasa leaned against a rock, trying to steady herself, the weight of the fight taking its toll. Her blood was still fresh on the ground beneath her, the memory of the battle with Gora and his cruel tactics haunting her mind.

Kaneki stood beside her, his expression thoughtful as he watched the horizon. The distant sounds of the war were growing louder, but for the first time in what felt like forever, they had a moment of peace. A fleeting moment, but peace nonetheless.

Kaneki: [his voice low but serious] "You know... we’ve barely scratched the surface, Radasa. There are forces out there, people who will stop at nothing to use us for their own gain. This isn’t the end. It’s only the beginning."

Radasa glanced up at him, her eyes showing a mix of exhaustion and determination.

Radasa: [sighing] "I know. It’s just hard to keep going sometimes. Every time I feel like I’ve reached my limit, I’m pushed further. I’ve fought so much, lost so much. And yet, there's always something more waiting for me to face."

Kaneki turned to face her fully, his eyes softening for a moment before hardening again. He reached out, placing a hand on her shoulder, a silent gesture of support.

Kaneki: "You don’t have to face it alone anymore. You’ve got me, and we’ll figure this out together."

Radasa’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly pushed down the emotional floodgate that threatened to overwhelm her. She had been alone for so long, but the connection she felt with Kaneki was undeniable.

Suddenly, the ground beneath them rumbled, a distant roar shaking the air. The vibration was enough to jolt both of them out of their moment of respite. Kaneki’s eyes narrowed, and Radasa immediately stood up, her body tensing.

Kaneki: [gritting his teeth] "What now?"

Radasa’s senses flared. She could feel the oppressive presence approaching, like a storm gathering on the horizon.

Radasa: [eyes scanning the distance] "Something’s coming... something big."

As the dust settled in the distance, a massive shape emerged from the shadows. The ground shook with every step, the figure slowly becoming clearer with each passing second. It was a Titan, larger than anything either of them had ever seen. Its form was monstrous, its eyes glowing with a malevolent light.

Kaneki: [clenching his fists] "It’s huge... We’re going to need a plan."

Radasa’s eyes were locked onto the Titan, her senses on high alert. She could feel the intensity of the creature’s power, and it terrified her. This wasn’t just another random Titan; this one had purpose.

Radasa: [quietly, almost to herself] "This feels wrong... it’s not like the others. It's different."

Kaneki’s voice cut through her thoughts.

Kaneki: [urgently] "We need to move. It’s coming straight for us."

Radasa didn’t need to be told twice. She immediately began to prepare herself, gathering what little energy she had left. Her wounds were healing, but the pain was still there, gnawing at the edges of her consciousness. She couldn’t afford to falter now.

The Titan’s roar shook the air once more, and Kaneki turned to her.

Kaneki: "Radasa, if we don’t take it down now, we might not get another chance. Whatever it is, we need to stop it before it reaches the city."

Radasa nodded, her eyes flashing with determination.

Radasa: "I’m not going to let it destroy everything. I’m not going to lose again."

With a burst of energy, Radasa charged forward, Kaneki following closely behind. The Titan loomed ahead, its massive form blocking the sun as it advanced toward them. Its eyes locked onto Radasa and Kaneki, and a low growl rumbled from its chest.

Kaneki: [calling out to Radasa] "Stay focused! We need to hit its weak points, its joints. If we can’t take it down quickly, it will destroy everything we’ve fought for."

Radasa: [nodding] "Got it. Let’s make it count."

As they neared the Titan, it raised a massive arm and swung down toward them. Radasa reacted instantly, her body moving faster than the human eye could follow. She dodged the swing effortlessly, her titan-enhanced reflexes allowing her to move with lightning speed.

Radasa: [gritting her teeth] "This is it."

She closed the distance in an instant, her blade drawn. With a powerful slash, she struck at the Titan’s arm, severing the muscle and causing it to stagger backward. The Titan roared in pain, but it wasn’t enough. It retaliated with a swipe of its claws, narrowly missing Radasa.

Kaneki: [shouting] "Watch out!"

Radasa rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. She could feel the Titan’s power coursing through the ground beneath her, the air thick with the heat of its rage.

Radasa: [panting] "This thing’s too strong... I need more time."

Kaneki was already planning their next move, his mind racing. He could see the weaknesses in the Titan’s defense, the joints that were most vulnerable, but they would need to work together to exploit them.

Kaneki: [urgently] "I’ll distract it. You get to its legs and try to sever the tendons. We can’t afford to give it any more time to react."

Radasa nodded, her gaze fixed on the Titan’s massive legs. She knew what she had to do, but she could feel the exhaustion creeping in. This fight was different, harder than anything they’d faced so far.

Kaneki rushed forward, drawing the Titan’s attention. He dodged its massive fists with precision, using his agility to stay one step ahead. As the Titan focused on him, Radasa moved quickly toward its legs. She leaped into the air, her blade aiming for the Achilles tendon.

The moment her blade made contact, the Titan let out a deafening roar, but Radasa didn’t hesitate. She cut deep, severing the tendon completely. The Titan stumbled, its massive form beginning to fall forward. Kaneki saw his chance and immediately attacked, aiming for its neck with a powerful strike.

Kaneki: [yelling as he delivered the blow] "Now, Radasa!"

With one final, coordinated effort, they both struck at the Titan’s weak points, driving their weapons deep into its exposed flesh. The Titan’s roar of fury was cut short as its body crumpled to the ground, shaking the earth beneath them.

Breathing heavily, Radasa stood over the fallen Titan, her body trembling with exhaustion.

Radasa: [panting, a smile of relief forming] "It’s over... we did it."

Kaneki collapsed next to her, exhausted but alive. His hand reached out to hers, and they shared a brief moment of silent relief. The battle had been hard, but they had survived—together.

Kaneki: [exhaling deeply] "We’re not done yet... but we’ve taken one step closer to ending this. And I’m not stopping until you’re free."

Radasa’s gaze softened, her heart swelling with a mix of emotions. She had never expected to find someone like Kaneki—someone who would fight beside her, who would keep pushing forward, no matter the odds.

Radasa: [smiling faintly] "I trust you, Kaneki. I trust that together, we can end this. I believe in you."

The two of them sat in silence for a moment, the weight of their journey ahead still looming, but for now, they had each other.
