Authors Note: Right now, I can only think about this certain scene. This story continues my other fanfic 'What Secret?'. I thought of this as an individual one-shot.
BackGround Info:
Marley have started the war against the Eldians, attacking from different fronts. It's been at least a month of battle. Eren has eaten the Cart, Armored, and Female Titan during different times. The battle now isn't far from Wall Maria. The Marleyans are attacking Armin, currently in his Colossal Titan. Trying to cover up the retreat of the Survey Corps, suffering many losses at this point. Also Zeke has betrayed the Survey Corps at this point.
Gun shot after gun shot. The Survey Corps knew that this day will come. Armin, trying his hardest to cover for the Survey Corps, but being attacked brutally in every direction, barely holding on. Eren, also in his titan, being defeated by the Beast Titan. All hope seems lost.
"Is that all you got brother." Zeke said after a long fight. Looking down at Eren from a far. Turning his attention towards Armin now.
Eren tried his hardest to get up. But to no use, he didn't have the strength to keep fighting. He managed to move enough that he was able to be upright but on his knees, using his hands for support, coming out of his titan nape. Mikasa approached him as quickly as she could.
"We have to leave now Eren, that's an order!" Mikasa demanded with a sense of urgency. Worried that Eren will do something stupid and get himself killed in the process, not wanting to lose another friend. She kept wondering in the back of her head when and what was Eren's plan.
Trying to force Eren to ride with her back to base. Levi and the others came as well seeing that Mikasa had no luck.
"Come on Eren don't be a fool!" Levi demanded. Trying to restrain Eren with the help from Mikasa from running toward the battlefield.
"I am not over yet!" Eren yelled. Filled with hatred toward his brother for betraying them. Trying let go of Levi and Mikasa's hold while the others also scold at Eren as well.
Meanwhile, Armin couldn't take all of the damaged taken that he fell almost immediately.
"It's going down." Soldiers yelled that they continued to shoot. Yelling in victory that they have been able to take down the Colossal.
The Beast approached Armin who was coming out of the steam tiredly. Looking up, seeing the Beast kneeling down. Glaring ferociously. Armin turned to see his friends one last time, knowing what was about to happen to him. Starting to shed tears.
"Your friend…" The Beast said turning to see where he left Eren. "...what a shame." as he opened his mouth and took a bite of the Colossal's remaining nape. Eating Armin entirely.
Eren and Mikasa looked as there long lasted friend is being brutally murdered. Mikasa trying so hard to not let her emotions get in the way in retreating. While Eren filled with anger, fear, hatred, and every single part of body enraged to fight for his friend.
"Armin!" Eren shouted angered by the turn of events. Still trying to escape the grasp of Mikasa and Levi, and everyone at this point trying to control his uncontrollable source of anger.
The Beast stood up again. Facing towards Eren and the gang. "Weak… like your father." Zeke said with no emotion shown for mercy.
Eren shouted as loud as he possibly can, releasing every breath of air out of his chest. Crying at this point of seeing his friend die in front of him. Finally being able to escape from everyone grabbing him tightly.
"I'll show you weak!" He shouted again. Biting his hand with all of his rage he couldn't contain.
"Eren No!" Mikasa yelled to Eren. "Don't a fool." Levi also shouted.
A huge amount of steam appeared quickly afterwards, indicating that Eren transformed again. But his transformation stunned everyone after the steam cleared. His titan is burning up in flames all throughout his body. This scene was too familiar to everyone watching. It was same titan form Eren used against Annie when she was climbing the up the wall. Berserk Titan Mode.
Eren rushed towards the Beast in full force. While Zeke observed as he approached. "Interesting." Zeke said with a grin.
"Lets see how you take this."
Zeke grabbed a handful of rubble from the ground and through it at Eren with full force at his direction. Critically hurting him badly at every part it hit. Also unleashing a huge wave smoke as they hit .
"Ha… still weak." He said. Thinking it was the finishing blow. What happened next stunned him in amazement.
Eren... with holes throughout his body, maintain standing. Not showing any signs of pain whatsoever. And… with a loud roar… his injuries healed almost instantly. In that very moment Zeke knew at this time it wasn't going to be easy.
"Commander Zeke, reinforcements have arrived." One of the many soldiers yelled as the Jaws came running towards Eren at high speed.
"Galliard wait up." Zeke yelled trying to warn him that Eren is bigger threat to them now.
Galliard didn't listen or even heard him. Blinded by pure rage knowing that Eren ate Pieck… his friend and comrade.
"I will kill you!" Galliard yelled inside his titan form. "I am going to avenge her death!"
Eren turned to face Galliard. He let out a load roar, starting to run in his direction.
Galliard made a jump towards Eren's arm in trying to disarm him. But he didn't expect Eren to move differently, extremely faster this time. Dodging his dash with perfect ease.
Galliard was caught in mid air by the legs not even getting close to hitting Eren.
Eren, in berserk mode, savagely ramded the Jaws to the ground nonstop towards the soldiers near and there acterillery. Galliard, with his claws quickly scratched Eren's arm quickly trying to escape with the help of the the soldiers arming the titan guns.
"Shit… come on!" Galliard thought to himself. Continuing to free himself from Eren Yeagers grasp.
His plan backfired though. Eren, who didn't seem to notice his injuries on his arm, blocked the shots using the Jaws. Everytime the soldiers tried to shoot Eren, he would just block not letting the soldiers get a clear shot at him.
The Jaws took a severe beating throughout his body, standing no chance against this new unexpected turn of Eren Yeager.
Finding a quick moment of the guns to reload, Eren reached to the nape again from the Jaws, ready to once and for all eat this troublesome titan.
"No!" Zeke yelled. The Beast, frighten, threw rocks again towards Eren trying to prevent him from eating Galliard. But to no avail, Eren swiftly took a bite of the nape. Lead by a huge roar of rage suddenly silence from the impacted by the rocks.
Now Erens attention was towards the Beast once again. He threw the Jaws remaining body towards to guns to distract them long enough for Eren to charge in full speed.
Before the Beast can even prepare for the upcoming fight Eren swifty cut the Beast legs making Zeke fall on his knees.
He then jumped on the Beast's back, scratching the Beast's chest while the Zeke tried to get Eren off.
He managed to grab Eren from his hair throwing him a good distance, but not before he savagely tore open his chest. Blood leaking out, evaporating almost instantly, and bones wide open for anyone to see.
Eren in that instance thought "Zeke is now on his knees… this is my chance." Eren lead out another loud roar tackling Zeke hard once he made contact.
Zeke made a groan in shock as Eren again, on top of him on his chest, scratched his chest determined to kill. Eventually Eren exposed Zeke where he was attached to the titan body.
Zeke, with mouth open dripping blood, starred up speechless at his brother, Eren Yeager, leaned down looking at him with a dreadful glare.
"Now... it is your turn to die… brother." Eren thought to himself inside his titan body. Saying the word brother made his insides rumble in anger.
Eren, without giving any second thought, open his mouth and approached Zeke who was defeated.
At that moment Zeke thought to himself. "What is happening? What is this new feeling? How can… how can this be? He stuttered.
At the last moment, Zeke yelled "Noooooooo!" with his hands trying to beg for mercy.
But Eren bit Zeke out of his titan body. Chewing the chunk of meat in his mouth. Making sure to not leave any evidence of his brother miserable existence.
All of the Marley soldiers jaws dropped in fear seeing the turn of events. "Commander Zeke is down." one soldier yelled. "Retreat." "Fall back." Many soldiers yelled to others knowing there defeat.
Eren, on his knees still on top of the Beast remaining body, looked up, eyes closed. "It's over." Eren said in a scratchy voice.
Levi, Mikasa, and the others looked at Eren with total shock. "Did… did he just speak." Mikasa thought to herself out loud.
Eren started to chuckle, and then laughed, while starting to stand up dizzy.
The fired lines around Eren's body started to brighten even more, but in a white color.
Eren grabbed his head in pain facing toward the ground. Lead by another roar looking up now.
Eren titan body started to shift position, the white light started to leak out.
His titan body exploded open, blood and flesh spread through the grass. All the Survey Corps gasp at the event. "Eren!" Mikasa yelled. Scared to death now thinking that Eren died, her true last friend and family. She couldn't bare to lose Eren right now.
To everyone's surprise, everyone still saw a titan body standing, but it looked different from Erens. This titan looked female, but not like the Female Titan. The mystery titan opened it eyes to see the Marley soldiers looking at her.
She turned to see the Survey Corps observing her. "Don't be afraid… I'm here to help." She said turning to see the soldiers again.
"I am Ymir Fritz… the first, true Founding Titan! And I'm am here.. to end this!" Ymir said out loud.
She clenched her fist, hardening to form a type of horn. She then blew on it, making a loud noise.
"Titans… attack!" She said then pointing towards the battlefield.
Suddenly, the walls started to shake. Cracks started to show and pieces of rock started to fall. It wasn't just in one spot though, the hole wall has moving, including Wall Rose and Sina.
"What is happening?!" People in wall Wall Rose and Sina said as they stared at the wall falling apart.
The Survey Corps turned wondering what was happening to the walls.
"What's going on!" Jean said trying to hold his balance.
"The walls… the titans… are moving." Levi stated in shock.
The titans inside the walls were now visible, walking towards them, obeying Ymir's command.
People throughout Eldia were in total panic. Screams, shouts, crying were heard everywhere. People running every direction as the Colossal titans walked past the buildings. Even though they didn't pay attention to them or even destroying the buildings.
"Full retreat!" Marley soldiers screamed as the many Colossal titans where stomping around.
The heavy artillery where cover firing, but they didn't stand a chance due to the many Colossal titans easily over powering them. To make matters worse for the Marleyans, all of the other smaller titans where also giving them a run for their life as well. Marley soldiers from all around were being eaten, stomped, crushed, and death was everywhere you looked.
The Survey Corps approached Ymir who was standing there, watching as the the turn of events played on.
"Isn't this overkill." Levi said as he landed on Ymir's shoulder. "No… I didn't start this war… but I am going to finish it."
"So this was Eren's plan,The Survey Corps continued to watch as the soldiers were being eaten or escaping. Ymir let the titans loose on the soldiers for a good while until she had enough.
She blew again on her horn. "Stop!… surround the survivors!"
The small titans did as they were told and blocked the soldiers path of escape. Forming a circle around the few survivors.
The few soldiers looked at every directions seeing the titans glaring down at them like pest.
"I have a message for your leaders." Ymir said as she approached the circle. "Leave the people of Eldia alone!... or we'll take the battle to you!" Pointing a finger at them.
The soldiers looked at her in complete silence and shock. They just nodded as a response.
"Good… Now Leave!" Ymir demanded raising her voice.
The few soldiers disappeared out of sight threw the horizon. Ymir then turned to face the Survey Corps who were on the ground observing.
"Now then.. let's talk." Levi said furiously looking up.
"Right… I owe you all an explanation." Ymir said frowning.
Ymir started to explain how she was able to contact Eren telepathically to tell him what to do when he made contact with Historia. And how he couldn't tell anyone her plan because she knew that they wouldn't agree with his plan. Also because they higher ups would think he would be a threat to humanity if he had total control of the titans.
"So this was Eren's plan from the beginning, to finish off the Marley in one blow." Mikasa thought to herself. "So what about Armin... and Sasha." Mikasa asked desperately.
"Oh.. right.." Ymir sighed. "Armin was inevitable, but Sasha's was unexpected by my part."
"You mean Armin and Sasha died for the fate humanity." Mikasa ask hopefully. Thinking that they died from Erens recklessness.
"Not necessarily." Ymir said grinning. Bending down on one knee to get closer. She extended her arms and open her hands facing the ground. "Think of this as an apology."
A bolt of lighting similar to when shifters transform struck where Ymir's hand were placed and steam also appeared rapidly.
The Survey Corps watched in confusion, not knowing where this was heading to. They caught glimpse of something in between the steam and saw that there was a figure being made, it almost looked human.
Once the lightning and the steam cleared, they approached where Ymir's hand where and what they saw surprised them. It was Armin laying on the grass undressed, sleeping as if for a long time. Levi, Jean, and Flock approached Armin and Jean took off his coat to cover Armin.
"You… you revived him." Mikasa asked shocked.
"Yes." Ymir responded. "He's Eldian… all Eldians are connect to me." She then again reached down and lightning struck again accompanied by steam. This time it was Sasha who got revived. Connie was excited to see Sasha but Ymir stopped him blocking his path.
"Girls Only." Ymir said to him. Sasha was also undressed so only Mikasa was able to help her get covered.
"So what about Eren?" Levi asked. The Survey Corps listen carefully, just noticing that Eren wasn't around.
"He's fine.. I am temporarily using his body to keep my form in the present."
Steam started to appear around Ymir's body. "I am started to evaporate, I can't hold this form forever." She said while observing her body. "Before I go… I will give you 3 gifts."
"What kind of gifts?" Levi ask suspicious.
"The types that will help my people." Ymir responded. She then looked up at the Colossal titans who lining up again but not where the old wall was but miles away.
They extended their arms wide to hold hands with the titans next to them who also had there arms extended. One by one, the Colossal titans started to harden, created a new set of walls all around the villages throughout Eldia.
"More land for farming… that's what Sasha wanted." Ymir stated knowing through Eren that Sasha said that once that destroyed the titans there will be land for farming.
Mikasa smiled a bit hear her say those word. "Next.. the titans."
Ymir turned to face some titans who where near them. She extended her arm and open her palm facing upwards. Then she clutch her hand. Then all titans suddenly began to kill each other. This happen to all the titans around the island.
The Survey Corps watch as they started to kill each other. They all thought the same thing, it took them lots of lives to kill the titans and now they're killing each other. "This was probably also in Eren's plan." Mikasa thought to herself again.
"The third gift, this is ones for Eren." Ymir gets on her knees again to explain this gift.
"Everyone will forget that Eren Yeager is the titan shifter, expect for you here."
"What do you mean?" Levi asked.
"I am saying that everyone throughout Eldia will not know who is the titan shifter… so that no one can mess with his life anymore. You guys here will be the only ones who will know the truth, including Armin and Sasha." This got Mikasa thinking.
"Well my time is up. Take care of yourself and enjoy this new phase of your life."
"Will we meet again." Hanji asked. Wanted to do an experiment already.
"Probably not, anyway it's time to go. Oh, one more thing… keep an eye on Eren, don't let anyone discover his power." This got Levi thinking a bit.
Ymir smiled as her body faded away leaving Eren on the grass on his knees, eyes closed with the titan marks.
Eren then opened his eyes. He looked at the group and then at Armin and Sasha and then back at the group again. He smiled. Levi approached him then.
You dirty little brat." Levi said nodding side to side. Looking at Eren with a glare.
"I know right." Eren said sarcastically. Eren turned to see the new wall the titans created, knowing that they've won the war. He has managed to bring the great Ymir back in to the present to revived Sasha and Armin. He has killed every single of those miserable titans. He moved the walls for more land. He felt so relaxed and relieved, thinking that he might never get this new feeling… of piece.
Authors Note: 'Heroes Never Die' - Mercy (Overwatch). Hope you guys liked it. I truly believe that Eren will do something big the Coordinate, maybe not revive but something. (Please Review)
