Reunited
Allen couldn't stand seeing the boy in the state he was in. He knew what he had to do. He never thought he would have to use it again, considering all the ones he held dear were gone from this world. But he literally held the boy's life in his hands.
He closed his eyes, & let the 14th's, no, Neah's Melody, play through his head. His innocence starting to glow.
Soshite bouya wa nemuri ni tsuita
Ikizuku hai no naka no honoo
Hitotsu futatsu to
Armin didn't know when he closed his eyes, but when he opened them, all he saw was darkness. But strangely, he didn't feel frightened.
Ukabu fukurami itoshii yokogao
Daichi ni taruru ikusen no
Yume, yume
Maybe it was the sincereness in the kyojin's voice.
Gin no hitomi no yuragu yoru ni
Umare ochita kagayaku omae
Ikuoku no toshitsuki ga
Ikutsu inori wo
Tsuchi e kaeshitemo
Or the genuine look of sympathy that was shown towards him.
Watashi wa inori tsuzukeru
Douka konoko ni ai wo
Or the soothing melody that was heard, along with the feeling of peace & safety.
Tsunaida te ni kisu wo
The melody stopped. He was then blinded by the light pouring in as the hand opened.
Allen had finished the melody, and slowly opened his hand. There, Armin still lay. And on his face, a bewildered expression.
Armin didn't know what to think. Just a second ago he could barely breathe, and was damn well near death. Then he hears a soothing melody, and finds all his wounds & bones perfectly healed. This kyojin saved him not once, but twice.
He was just about to thank the kyojin for what he did. But at that very moment, he heard a crash. And then, shortly after, someone's scream. And he knew that voice all too well.
"MOM!"
Allen heard the scream as well.
Without warning, Armin found himself being placed in the breast pocket of the kyojin's uniform, & the fast movement towards the source of the scream. Eren's scream.
Location of Eren's House
The 15 meter kyojin was headed straight towards their location. Eren & Mikasa only tried that much harder to get the beam off Eren's mother. But no matter how hard they tried, the beam wouldn't budge.
"Get out of here!" Eren's mother pleaded again.
"No!" Eren yelled back. "We're not leaving you here!"
Just then one of the Survey Corps members came running by. He noticed Eren & Mikasa. And the woman under the debris of the collapsed house.
"What are you doing?" the guy demanded. "Get out of here and get to the safety boats before they leave you!"
"We're not leaving without my mom!" Eren yelled.
The kyojin was getting closer.
Eren & the Survey Corps member continued arguing.
The kyojin was now looming over them, with a twisted smile on its face. And they couldn't get their bodies to move. It started reaching down for them. And it would have grabbed hold of them, if it weren't for the golden object, with wings & tail, sinking its teeth into the kyojin's head.
The kyojin jolted, and stepped back, crashing into an abandoned house. Eren, Mikasa, & the guy didn't know what happened, but the guy took this chance to get his body to move, and grab the two kids before him. Eren & Mikasa fought tooth & nail to get the man to release them, but he wasn't letting up.
The kyojin finally got its footing and started towards Eren's mother.
"Let me go! She's still over there!" Eren demanded.
He saw the kyojin reach down.
"No", he thought.
It moved the debris atop his mother.
"Don't!"
It had her in its grasp.
"MOM!"
Through the streets
Allen sliced through kyojin left & right as he headed towards the source of the scream, Armin in his pocket. Armin was amazed, yet terrified. This kyojin was taking out all the others as if they were nothing. Sure, it was much, much bigger than the ones that came in through the hole of the wall. But aside from size, it was how they were taken out. The kyojin that had saved him was raking through all the others with its hand. Now in the form of a sleek, black claw, with razor sharp talon-like fingers. The very one that he had been in when he had gotten healed. And surrounding it was an illuminating silverish white cloak.
This kyojin was full of surprises. And he was glad it was one worth trusting. At least…he hoped so.
They had just arrived at the source of the scream. And saw a kyojin about to make a meal out of a woman.
A woman that Armin recognized as Eren's mother.
Allen immediately summoned Clown Belt once more. It wrapped around the wrist of the hand that contained the woman, along with the rest of the kyojin's body.
It couldn't move. All it could do was feel the strange material wrapped around its wrist constrict. It constricted until its grasp on the woman weakened. And it watched as one of its "own kind" came up , knelt down, & retrieved her.
The next thing it knew, it was touched by the strange claw that this much bigger kyojin had attached to its body. And it slowly disintegrated. Just as the others had before it.
Eren & Mikasa had witnessed everything. They saw his mother about to be eaten alive, and then suddenly saw one of the colossal kyojin take her away from the one that had captured her. Along with it killing off the 15 meter.
The man that had run off with them suddenly tripped and fell, dropping them on the ground. They took this as their chance to go back. The man yelled at them to come back, but they simply ignored him. The man eventually just gave up and left them. But they didn't care. All they were concerned about was still trying, in some way, to retrieve Eren's mother.
But why? The kyojin before them now was just as big, & just as deadly.
They couldn't ponder on that question for long, for the weird golden object that had appeared not too long ago was flying in front of the 60 meter's face. And it was pointing them out.
Allen was holding the woman ever so gently in his hand. The woman was obviously afraid. Then she noticed Armin.
"Armin?" she said.
"Yes! It's ok, we can trust him", he assured her.
"W-what?!" she exclaimed.
Allen realized that the boy must know this woman. He took his other hand & lifted Armin out of his pocket, placing him next to her.
Allen then noticed Timcampy.
"Tim, where've you been?" he asked, knowing he wouldn't get a reply.
All Tim did was simply point. Allen looked, and saw a young boy & girl.
Allen then knelt down, and placed his hand on the ground. The two people in his hand must've known the two before them, for the boy waved wildly their way, the woman, weakly, but still with happiness.
Eren & Mikasa stopped in fear. They had been spotted. But the kyojin seemed to make no move for them for its meal. It instead knelt down & placed its hand on the ground.
Then, they saw Eren's mother, along with Armin, both of which were waving at them. In pure joy, & happiness.
Finally done with this ch.! I'm starting to run out of ideas, but still have some for a few more chapters. See you for ch.5~!
