After around a minute, it came to the Rogue Titan that using his legs would be a good idea. So, he swung his right leg up and at Annie with intimidating force and speed. Annie, however, hardened her arm and brought it to her face. This didn't stop the other Titan, however, and threw his calf at her face. The leg, unfortunately, flew off, but the shock from the blow itself threw Annie backwards into a building. The Titan bellowed at Annie again. Cat could see where this was going. Eren would soon be losing his sanity, then going on a massive rampage.
Not that he already wasn't on one.
The Screaming Titan sat up slowly, her broken arm lolling to the side. Irritated by it, she grabbed the limb and pulled on it, the sound of ripping flesh filled the air. She grit her teeth as she quickly ripped the useless appendage from her forearm, separating it just above her elbow. She let out a small groan of pain, and stood up. She tossed the arm aside. Eren's eyes flashed sapphire, tempting himself to go into rage mode. He jumped at Annie with his one usable leg, and flung his arms down on her head, thrusting her skull dangerously low. Eren then raised his right fist again, and swung down. The female Titan looked up at the other one quietly, before feeling her face collide with the earth. Eren tried to beat down on her again, but Annie hardened her back, causing Eren's arm to actually fly off. It landed a couple meters away, and he stared at his half-arm apprehensively. Annie took this moment to leap up and shove him away. His body colliding with a building. Annie brought her leg down and smashed him into it. Eren's limbs fell limp at his sides. He could feel ribs cracking as Annie's foot smashed into his chest. He roared at her, and made an attempt to grab her foot. Annie threw her fist up and smashed it down onto Eren's head. When he didn't let go, she did it again. And again. And again. Eren's face slowly grew more and more disfigured as Annie's fist continued to meet with it. His eyes slowly shut, as more and more steam began to release from the injured points in his body. After a minute or so of this, Eren's hands slowly released Annie's leg, and fell to the ground. The female titan screamed at his limp body then backed away, watching to see if he would get up, then turned and ran away.
Brian stood up from his point on the tower. He cupped his hands around his mouth, and shouted. "COME ON, EREN! GET UP! THIS CAN'T BE OVER ALREADY! YOU CAN'T-" Jean pulled him back down by the arm.
"Shut up, idiot! You want the other Titan to come and get us!? I'm sure your friend will take care of it..." Jean pointed to other Female titan, who had already started the pursuit again, her arm still gone and hadn't even started regenerating yet. But her throat was fully intact now.
After half a minute of inactivity, Eren's eyes flew open. Except, this time, they weren't green anymore. They were a bright blue. As his rage began to build up inside him again, the injured parts of his body caught fire, replacing the steam with smoke. His teeth grew drastically sharper, and he slowly got up, bricks falling off of his shoulders. He hissed, and dashed after Annie, using the only other two limbs he had left. He flew into the sides of buildings occasionally, smashing windows and walls, but kept running. In his fit of rage, he confused himself as to which Titan he was supposed to be attacking, and leaped onto the Screaming Titan's back, throwing her to the dirt. He roared in her face, eyes clouded with anger.
"What is he doing!?" Jean shouted then looked to Brian. "He's attacking the wrong person!"
Brian's eyes widened. "Y-you're right!" His eyes looked up a little. Annie was beginning to make her way to the entrance of the third wall by now. This was really starting to get ugly. He looked to Jean. "We have to do something!"
"EREN!?" Cat screamed as she threw her only arm out to try and push him off. "What are you doing!?" Without a reply of any sort, Eren picked up Cat by the arm, and threw her sideways, forcing her into a building behind them. He then dashed forward, and bit onto her other arm, and ripped it off with one swipe of his head.
"I can't do much." Jean said. "Unless I want to end up dead. Can't you turn into a Titan too?"
Brian opened his mouth to answer, but stopped as Cat yelled in fear. With both arms now gone, she brought up both her feet up and pushed them hard against Eren's chest, attempting to shove him away. "Eren! Snap out of it!" Losing balance, the other Titan flew backwards, landing on his back. Cat's words falling onto deaf ears, Eren shook his head, and rose, ready to charge at her again.
Brian glanced back down at Jean. "Yeah, I can, but...I didn't think it'd have to come to this..."
"There's nothing else we can do! Just don't get caught! I'll cover for you and Cat!" Jean prepared his 3DMG, ready to find Levi or Hanj or even Erwin to make up and excuse for their absence. The other teenager sighed, his heart racing. "Jean...Before I go...If I die, or something happens...I just want you to know that…" He squeezed his eyes shut and turned to the edge of the building, "Well, I love you." With that, he bit his thumb, and dove off the side of the clock tower. A flash of light flew out of the alleyway below, and the bone-covered Titan rose out of the hole, his sunken eyes set for the two Titans around a kilometer away. He charged, ready to set this straight.
Cat sat up and took a sharp intake of breath. She knew how much this would hurt Eren, but she had to protect herself first. He would rip her apart easily if she didn't fight back. Her throat muscles expanded as she prepared to scream at him. Eren crawled at a remarkably quickly pace, and jumped. His other leg had already almost finished reforming, and his shadowed eyes glinted with hatred. He swung his good leg into Cat's stomach, forcing her to let the air out early. He fell onto his side, unable to catch himself. Meanwhile, Annie had made it to the outside of the third wall, and had begun to climb.
Jean stared after the Armored Titan in surprise and awe... he did NOT see that coming. He shook his head, ready to deal with his emotions when the time was right. For now, he had to find someone and make a cover up of Brian and Cat. He was off within a second.
With the air forced out of Cat's lungs, a loud, high pitched sound escaped her lips, like a balloon loosing air combined with nails on a chalk board. The sound didn't last long though, only a few seconds. She slumped forward gasping, her lungs were getting strained too much for even her after that. She couldn't risk trying to scream again, her lungs may burst...and that would leave her completely defenseless. Eren covered one of his ears the best he could, although the sound that emitted from Cat's lips wasn't as bad as he had anticipated. He got up, and threw his fist at Cat's face, thinking that the force he had gathered into that blow was going to finish her off. But, instead, his fist was met with someone else's open palm. Someone that had...Well, a pretty strong grip. The Armored Titan dug his feet into the pavement, pushing against Eren's hand, which had forced him backwards. He took a step in front of Cat's Titan, and bent his knees a little, placing his hands above his head.
"Thanks for the help..." Cat whispered. "Can you throw him...? Annie's getting away..." She whispered, her voice too weak to speak any louder. She hoped Brian would understand her quick plan. The Titan nodded at Cat, and bared his teeth. He rushed to Eren at a breakneck speed, and threw an uppercut, actually forcing Eren's feet off the ground by around a half a meter. The other Titan was stunned; no Titan he had faced before, not even Annie, was able to hit that hard. Although it was unorganized combat, this guy wasn't bad… Eren glanced downwards at this new Titan, and his eyes widened. It was the same Titan that he had fought in the forest. His gaze looked to the female Titan he was beating up before. It was the Screaming Titan, the one he protected in the same place. He gritted his jaw as he fell back to earth. He was beating the shit out of the wrong person.
Brian picked Eren up by the neck, and held him in place. Eren kicked at his new opponent's gut, and reeled his foot back in pain. The armor that lined down the other Titan's stomach served him well. The Titan examined the other with sunken eyes, and, getting a running start, threw him at Annie's direction. The Female Titan had almost made her way back up to the top of the wall. Legion members swarmed around her like bees, which had vastly slowly down her movement. Annie glanced behind her just as Eren, the new flying titan, collided with her. He didn't hesitate to latch on and bring her down to the ground, where he proceeded to rip HER apart instead.
Cat lay injured on the ground. She smirked up at Brian. "I'd give you a thumbs up..." she whispered, then waved her little nubby arms. "But I can't... maybe later. We have another issue on our hands right now." Brian tilted his head a little, making a small confused grunt.
Cat waved her numbs. "I'm at my limit dude! I can't get away... and the Survey Corps is on their way..."
Brian blinked, the rusty gears in his mind turning. He could grab her and hold her above his head as he ran into the forest. But, that was too far away, and she probably wouldn't appreciate that. He could rip out her human again, but that would probably be painful. He could guard her when the Survey Corps DID come...The stupid options were endless. Instead, he decided to sit down in front of her, and stare off into space. ". . ."
"Brian." Cat said, her voice very serious. "You need to leave."
He blinked, his gaze returning to the other female Titan. He snorted, and shook his head.
"Now." she hissed. "You'll get caught, you need to leave. It won't do us any good if we're both caught!" Brian sighed, debating his options. He most likely wouldn't be able to fend off all of the Survey Corps. After realizing that staying would indeed be futile, he bent down, and embraced Cat in a hug, closing his eyes. He kept this position for around 5 seconds before running outside the wall, his body slowly disappearing in the distance. As he was running off, he glanced back at 'Mom' one last time, and waved, making a silent promise that he'll get her back. The Screaming Titan waved one of her nubs in good bye, and within the minute she was covered in Survey Corps members.
