Cleanse Us

Cleansing Rain Part 1

The sound of thundering hooves blared in the rainfall, as a group horses rode forward toward their objectives. Their "Wings of Freedom" flying behind them. The Survey Corps. The first front line in protecting humanity. Currently, they are running through an open field. The leader of the group looked around, and noticed they were coming up upon a forest. Signaling to the others, they all spread out at 5-meters intervals. All the while, trying to keep their eyes out for their enemies. Soon, the leader shot a red flare in the air, then activating an Omni-Directional Mobile Gear, shot off towards the enemy. The other squad mates soon joined the leader of the group.

"EREN!"

Eren turned towards the one who shouted at him.

"What is it Jean?!"

Jean got close to Eren and looked at him.

"Is it wise to do this?"

Eren just remained silent as he turned away from Jean. Jean just silently glared at Eren. For the past week or so, at least that's what Jean believed, Eren has been distant. More distant than usual. Soon they came up to their target. A lone 10-meter Titan just slowly walking forward towards them. Eren changed directions as he got down lower to the ground, while Jean continued his course. Jean turned to the others.

"Get in position!"

The remaining four Survey Corps members nodded as they moved in different directions. Within a minute they came upon the Titan. The Titan stopped walking as it stood still, eyeing the prey in front of it. The Survey Corps Scouts started to run in circles around the Titan, as they flew in the air. Then according to plan, one of the Scouts fired a hook in the back of the Titans neck. Then with a yell, sliced through the nape of the Titan. Killing it for good. This caused the small band of scouts to slightly cheer for themselves. Jean, however, called for their attention as he fired off a purple flare.

"KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU! THERE ARE MORE TITANS COMING!"

Their celebration cut short as more and more Titans filed from the trees. Their presence hidden to the heavy rainfall.

"Shit! This is bad!" One of the Scouts stated.

"Keep it together Ein!"

Jean swore to himself as he pressed forward towards the on-coming Titans.

"We got to keep moving! Don't stop! And keep pressing forward!"

Jean maneuvered himself high above a Titan, and with releasing a small amount of gas, shot down to a 15-meter Titan. Lifting his arms, Jean yelled out, "Die!" Moving his arms, Jean sliced a Titan killing it. The remaining Scouts followed Jean, as they all yelled as they moved forwards. Dodging around a Titan's grasp, Ein quickly moved and then killed the Titan. However, as he sliced through a Titan, another Titan jumped up in front of him. Ein screamed out in fear, as the Titan chomped down, killing him. Jean watched this happened as he cursed out loud, as he propelled himself towards the Titan.

"Damn you!"

Jean sliced through the Titan, killing it. Gritting his teeth in anger, Jean continued his onslaught of killing the Titans. However, an important member wasn't here.

"Damn It, Eren! Where the hell did you go?"

Jean just managed to dodge a Titan's hand as he cut the fingers off. Then he kept up his attack, as he turned around. Another scream from one of his comrade penetrated Jean ear. Jean knew, that soldier was done for. Killing the Titan, Jean quickly moved away as he watched the remaining two soldiers killing another Titan. Yet despite this, the Titans kept up their attack. As a 3-meter Titan grabbed a hold of a soldier. The soldier struggled in the tight grip of the Titan.

"Damn it! Damn it! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Jean yelled out.

"Hold on, Jacques!"

Jean started to move towards Jacques, only for several Titans to get in his way. While the 3-meter Titan opened up its mouth. Jacques started to scream louder.

"No! Please! Don't kill me!"

The Titan chomped down on Jacques as he screamed out in pain, as he life ended.

The last remaining Scout watched in horror at Jacques death, only to gasp in fear as a Titan appeared. The Titan opened its mouth as the soldier tried to maneuver out of the way. The soldier was successful in dodging the bit of the Titan, but unfortunately not the second Titan behind it. The soldier just screamed as death came and took its prize. Jean silently swore as he cut down another Titan. Looking around he could still see more Titan as they closed in on him. He was surrounded and it looks like this is the end for him.

An orange bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, as a frightful screech penetrated the air. Another Titan came running through the trees. A Titan that Jean knew all too well.

"Eren."

Eren roared as he punched a Titan in the face. Then he turned around and kicked a 3-meter Titan. Jean just glared at Eren as he went and killed another Titan.

"Eren where were you?"

They arrived back home. The rain continued to pour as they stood on Wall Rose. Eren and Jean said nothing to each other as they stood there. Soon, Jean turned to Eren.

"Are you ever going to answer me?"

Eren just stayed silent as he stared down the wall. This cause Jean to sigh heavily as he turned away. Alone, Eren continued to stand, as he took off his hood. Allowing the rainwater to soak his hair. He stood still as the rain poured on him. He looked at his hands, and all he could see was blood. Though no one else could see it…only him. Looking up at the sky, Eren just watched as the raindrops fall to the ground.

"I tried. I tried to rely on my comrades. Just like then."

Eren let his hands fall to his side. Closing his eyes, he felt…something. Was it powerless? Or was it the opposite? Did he feel happy? Was he glad? Eren doesn't know. All he knows is that now he had to live with the fact that four more of his comrades, his fellow soldiers, were dead. He had the power to save them, he still does. Yet, why did he allowed himself to hold back? Was it because he was afraid? Or was it because something else.

Deep down, he knew the answer. The answer to why it is that he held back. Because of his sins. The sin of not using his powers to stop Annie from killing Levi Squad. The sin of allowing Reiner and Bertholdt in escaping. The sin of not repenting for his father's sin. The sin of not accepting atonement.

Which is why Eren continued to stand still. To feel the rain fall, as if this rain holds the answers. Why did the burden of saving humanity fell to him? Is he even free to begin with? Is he even saving humanity? Whatever the reason, he knows who he really is. He is an enemy of humanity. Just like her. Despite everything that has happened. The lives he had saved, the deaths he had prevented. Yet, he allowed himself to be persuaded by others, and not to make his own choices. Which is why his hands will always be stained with blood. Cause no matter what choice he makes, someone will pay.

Will the rain wash away all of his sins? Will the rain make him pure? Either way, even if the rain doesn't work. He continues to stand still, as the rain poured down on him. Hoping that this rain might cleansed him. Eren opened his eyes.

"Will this rain wash away my sins?"

A/N: That's it for the first part. Let me know how well I did. What I can improve on. You know, the usual. Anyway, I do hope that I can get out of my little slump for Our New Daughter. This story will be a little side project. Next chapter will be on Historia's POV, kindaish. So keep an eye out for that.
