Enjoy. :)
Mikasa sighs as she realizes that Eren is actually dead.
He's not…maybe Armin was so freaked out that he saw things. She thinks to herself. She then looks up and sees a Titan heading right for her. She sighs as she starts to give up.
Axel is swinging around looking for Mikasa when he sees two decaying Titan bodies.
What…? Axel thinks to himself. How in the hell did those Titans die? No one was anywhere near them. Axel eventually shrugs it off and keeps looking for Mikasa.
"Mikasa?" Armin yells frantically.
Jean and the rest of the cadets are standing on top of the roofs again watching a few comrades get eaten.
Damn. It's no use. Jean thinks to himself as he looks at Headquarters. There's no way we're getting near headquarters, unless everyone doesn't mind dying.
"No!" Tom yells as he pulls the trigger for his ODM gear. "Not now! PLEASE!"
Looks like he's out. Jean thinks as he sees Titans running to him and picking him up. Two Cadets whoosh by Jean.
"No! Don't!" Jean yells.
"Tom! We'll save yo—ack!" A cadet says as another Titan grabs him out of the air.
"Please…don't eat me!" Tom yells as the Titan opens his mouth. "PLEA—"
Jean looks horrified as blood drips from the Titan's hands.
I couldn't stop them. Jean thinks as he is frozen with fear. Why-Why didn't I stop them…? I could've kept everyone together…this wouldn't have happen…
Another cadet screams before getting eaten.
I wasn't supposed to lead…I'm just leading people to their death…
Everyone watches as Titans eat the remaining Cadets on the ground. Bertolt turns to Reiner.
"See what happens when you don't listen to orders?" Reiner says quietly.
"What?" Bertolt says looking confused.
"We could've been in Wall Sina by now!" Reiner yells quietly. "If it weren't for somebody!" Reiner pushes Bertolt. "For once if you would've listened to Axel!"
"Axel has no damn jurisdiction over what the hell I do! I did this to prove that point!"
"Well thanks to that point, our friends, and most of the human race, are doomed!" Reiner walks away.
Bertolt sighs. "I'm losing both of them. Aren't I?"
"I don't care." Annie says. "The way I heard it, I thought it was you and Axel fighting again."
Mikasa puts her blades back in the compartments and sighs again.
This world…is a cruel place. She thinks to herself as the Titan walks closer to her. But…it's also beautiful. She starts to remember how Eren saved her. She looks up to the sky and sheds a tear. It was good while it lasted…
The Titan reaches slowly for Mikasa. Before it can reach her, Mikasa takes her broken blade and cuts the Titan's fingers off and backs away. The Titan reaches for her but falls in the process. The Titan gets up and tries to hit her. Mikasa jumps out the way but hits her back on a building.
Why…? Mikasa thinks. Why haven't I given up…? The Titan swings for her again and she jumps over the hand. She gets launched through the air and hits the ground hard. She coughs a little before sitting up. The Titan falls to the ground again.
I'm still fighting…but why…? I've lost every reason to live. The Titan gets back up and looks at Mikasa. Mikasa starts to run the other way but another Titan steps in her way.
"Fight!" Eren says getting choked by a man. "The only way to live is to fight!"
Mikasa looks up as she realizes the reason why she's so determined to keep living.
Eren…I'm so sorry…I forgot what you've taught me…I'll never give up again. Mikasa thinks as she looks at the Titan in front of her. If I die…then my memories of you will die too…that's why, Mikasa grabs her broken blade and prepares to fight. I'll do whatever it takes to live! WHATEVER IT TAKES!
Mikasa gets ready to fight the Titan when the Titan behind her launches her into the air. The Titan steps over Mikasa, and violently punches the Titan about to grab Mikasa, causing Titan blood to spew all over the buildings around. The Titan roars loudly before angrily stepping on the Titan's head multiple times, killing the Titan.
What the…? Mikasa thinks as she covers her ears due to the loud roar. That Titan…just killed that other Titan…that's never happened before…
Axel is swinging above until he hears a Titan roar. He looks towards the sound to see Mikasa on the ground.
"Mikasa!" Axel says as he swings down to her, picks her up, and lands on a building.
"Axel!" Mikasa says shockingly. "You came back?"
"Yeah. We can't do this without you. Come on, let's get the hell outta here."
"But wait!" Mikasa says as Armin drops down.
"Guys!" Armin says. "Are you okay?"
"We're fine." Axel says nodding to Armin. "We just gotta get the hell outta—"
Armin sees two 15-meter Titans heading their way and feels sick to his stomach.
"Two 15 meter class Titans!"
"I got this. I got the most gas." Axel says drawing his swords. Mikasa grabs Axel's shoulder and Axel looks back.
"That Titan's different!" Mikasa says pointing to the one that saved her. Axel turns to the one she's talking about.
"Something seems…familiar about that Titan." Axel says as he shrugs it off. "Whatever. Lets just go. We can't afford to waste gas anyway."
Connie lands on the same building they are on.
"What the hell are you two doing?" Connie yells. "You two are then entire damn reason why were trying to go to headquarters!"
"Mikasa fell, but now we're fine." Axel says looking at the Titans. "Why the hell are they just standing there?"
The Rogue Titan roars at the Titan in front of him. Everyone looks surprised as they see the Titan lunge and the Rogue Titan before getting its head slapped clean off its body. The Titan's body falls to the ground and starts to get up. The Rogue Titan steps on the Titan's nape, killing the Titan and making everyone surprised.
"D—Did I just see a Titan kill another Titan…?" Axel says with his eyes widened.
"Not only that," Armin says looking confused and surprised. "He knew the weak spot!"
"We'll just list it as another abnormal." Connie says turning from it. "We're lucky that ugly thing didn't get bored and start coming towards us."
"Wait." Armin says. "Any other type would've killed us on the spot. He's more focused on Titans."
"He seems to know hand to hand combat." Mikasa says. "What is it?"
"Let's just go." Axel says. "We're just increasing death chance if we try to figure out what the hell we've just seen." Axel turns to the Rogue Titan and looks back at everyone else.
"Wait!" Mikasa says as everyone stops. "I don't have any gas."
"What?" Connie says as he turns around. "We can't do this without both of you! What the hell are we supposed to do now?"
"I'll give her my gas." Axel says. "I'll find some way to get out of here."
"But, Axel." Mikasa says.
"No buts." Axel says.
"No." Armin says as he drops down and disarms his gas tanks. "I know what to do."
"Armin!" Mikasa says. "What are you doing?"
"It's no use if I use it." Armin starts to put his gas in Mikasa's gear. "Use this gas with care Mikasa. Everyone's lives are lying on you and Axel. Only you two can take them on."
Mikasa turns to Axel. Axel crosses his arms and looks at Mikasa.
Oh no. Mikasa thinks as she remembers what she said to them.
"I'm stronger than all of you combined!"
I left without caring for anyone's lives. Mikasa thinks as she remembers her going to fast. I didn't even care for my own. I forgot what you taught me Eren…and I'm so sorry…
"There. I've restocked you're blades." Armin says as he holds one blade to himself. "Let me keep this one. I'd rather be eaten dead than alive."
Mikasa walks to Armin, grabs the blade, and throws it off the roof.
"Why did you…?"
"Armin." Mikasa says as she kneels down and touches his hand. "I'm not letting you die." Mikasa smiles.
"I don't see how we can't." Axel says as he hears the Rogue Titan roaring. "Unless if one of us carries him."
"I'll do it." Connie says as he grabs Armin's hand. "Lets go guys."
'Wait!" Armin says as everyone starts to run towards the edge.
No. Armin thinks. I've dragged enough people down…I can't do it again! He hears the Rogue Titan roaring and looks back. He then comes with an idea and pulls away from Connie. Everyone stops and looks at Armin.
"I have a better idea!" Armin says looking at them.
"Well spit it out then." Connie says.
"That Titan could be some use." Armin says as he gestures to the Rogue Titan. "Maybe just maybe, we could somehow guide it to headquarters."
"What are you talking about?" Axel says turning fully around.
"It's obvious that the Titan doesn't care for humans. Maybe we could somehow steer it to headquarters."
"Are you really saying that we should steer a Titan?" Connie screams. "How the hell can we do that?"
"Well," Axel says. "Maybe if less Titans are around him,"
"Then he'll eventually see headquarters and go towards it."
"Hm," Axel says as he starts to think.
"Look, it's entire up to you guys." Armin says.
"Well, it's worth a shot." Connie says smiling. "If we run outta gas we'll be dead anyway. I'll carry Armin."
"Let's go." Mikasa says as she begins to run near the Rogue Titan.
"Hey guys." Axel says as he looks towards the gate. "Go on without me."
"What?" Mikasa says as she turns around.
"We can't do this without you!" Connie says.
"I'll catch up." Axel says as he sees a giant boulder somewhat in his vision. "I promise."
"What if you run out?"
"I'll most likely be in the vanguard. Bodies are there so I'll take gas from them."
"Axel…" Mikasa says as Axel turns around.
"I'll be fine. Trust me." Axel swings away.
"Let's go. Axel can handle himself." Armin says looking at Mikasa.
"Yeah." Mikasa says. "Hopefully."
A few minutes later, Axel reaches the giant boulder and looks around.
Hmm. Axel thinks to himself. Armin was right. There's no way in hell they'll be able to pick this up. Unless. Axel looks at his hand and then clenches it into a fist. No. I can't…if they found out that I even thought about doing that they'd kill me, figurative, then literally. Axel sighs. But…I have to…the inner gate isn't as strong as the outer gate…the Titans could break through Wall Rose. Axel nods to himself and looks up. I'm telling Armin... It may end in me being in a dungeon, but at least Trost won't be lost…
