A/N: So, I found this while I was digging around my old google docs so I was like "Hey sure, why not post this?" Well, here it is, the shortest of the short one-shots.

A barrel streaks across the sky as it grows immeasurably hot. I watch with astonishment as a fireball streaks toward it.

"Squad Leader Hange!" I cried.

We looked for cover but we saw none, time was running out.

"There!" Hange exclaimed, pointing to a broken well.

A tremendous booming sound resonates within the air. I look back in terror, as we made a break towards the well, a wave of fire coming towards us. The Colossal Titan has already transformed. I rushed after Hange as impending doom came. My triggers, they're stuck! I can't use my 3DMG. Just my luck. I feel an intense pain on my back and something shatters.

No, I'm not dreaming, its real. The entire world is distorted, time stopped, everything fractured, like mirror. I want to scream but I can't. I will myself to move. I see myself, flames licking my scorched back. I see Hange climbing into the well. Her glasses have fallen, damaged. I walk over and pick it up as a wave of sadness and dread washes over me.

"This is where I die," I think to myself.

The entire scene was so wrong. It hurt to look at but Hange wouldv'e given anything to see this. I chuckled softly. This was meant to happen. This is my last moment, but I will protect Hange no matter what. With all my willpower, I force myself back to reality. The pain comes back but I ignore it. I force Hange down the well. As she reaches towards me, my entire body catches fire.

Memories flash. Me meeting Hange, Sawney, Beane, her crazy smile, her recklessness. I'll miss it all but I have to let go. As I do, I go back into my bodiless form. I see Hange's look of terror and sadness on her face. It's heartbreaking. She drops into the well, too numb to speak. As I leave this fractured world, something occurred to me. I'm still holding Squad Leader Hange's glasses.
