So this is the better, I think, portion of the Struggle for Trost arc. Hopefully you chaps enjoy this one more than part 1.

Not much else to say. Well, I do have to say that I need a beta reader….


"Hey, Jean! What are we gonna do now?!"

"There's nothing we can do," replied an out of character Jean. "To think when the retreat signal is finally rung, we can't scale the walls because we're out of gas. Now we're probably gonna die… all because of those spineless bastards."

"You mean the Supply team? Did they get wiped out?" asked Connie.

"No, but they apparently lost their fighting spirit," replied Jean. "I can sympathize with that, but… how could they abandon their mission and confine themselves at HQ? Unsurprisingly, the Titans swarmed, making resupply impossible."

"Than we have no choice but to risk everything on taking out the Titans, right?!" exclaimed Connie. "It'd be better than sitting around and doing nothing! Titans are bound to come here too! Even if we keep running from them, we'll just be wasting what little gas we have! After our mobility is lost, it'll really be over!"

"Seems you thought things through for once, Springer," replied Jean sadly, looking at his fellow Corps. Their sprites were crushed, and some even broke down crying, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

"Come on you two!" came a voice behind Springer. Suddenly, a head popped up behind him. Jean recognised her as Sasha. "Can do it! Now, stand up!"

Walking beside her friend, Sasha tried to get her teammates sprites back up. "If we all work together, I'm sure we'll succeed! I'll spearhead it!" she began, only to stop when she saw the terrified and dead looked of her team.

But she than heard a subtle sound behind her. Turning, she saw something she never thought she'd see in her lifetime, or just because she thought she'd die. Connie noticed this and shouted at his friend. "Sasha, what are you doing?"

"W-w-wha… t-t-t..." she exclaimed, pointing her finger at the quickly approaching figure.

"Spit it out already, Sasha!" yelled the baldy.

Jean looked at where she was pointing, and widened his eyes. Coming at them was a group of Trainees led by Survey Corp Commander Coral and Garrison Elite Riko.

But the thing which made Sasha stutter that much was the thing which was behind them

"What is that?!" he exclaimed, catching the attention of the other Corps and Garrison. All except Armin, who was wanting a Titan to eat him at this point (let's be real),screamed in terror.


"Ah great," whispered Kyle as the Survey Corps and Garrison started freaking out at the sight of the Mechanical Titan.

"Over there," yelled Coral, making a turn. Zipping forward, he landed on a building along with his team as the Mechanical Titan skidded to a stop.

"Get away from that, Coral!" exclaimed Jean, blades in hand, alongside a few of the braver Corps and Garries.

"Wait!" exclaimed Nac, zipping in front of the Titan. "He's no enemy!"

"How can you be so sure?" asked Reiner. "It's a Titan, and those things only eat humans and nothing more! And to add on, this thing's armoured!"

"Because if I was gonna eat them," came an unknown, yet familiar, voice. Connie tapped Jean's shoulder and pointed up at the Titan. "I would have done so long ago."

Right after she said that, the Trainees went dead silent, staring at the Titan. Coughing nervously, Mina walked forward, gaining everyone's attention. "Uh, well, this is Barbatos. Or as most of you know him, the Mechanical Titan from five years ago."

"You mean that thing which helped us all those years ago?!" exclaimed an unnamed Trainee.

Mylius nodded and motioned to 'Barbatos'. "And Keith says that it's here to help humanity. At least, he assumes…"

Barbatos stayed as silent as a calm morning when the Titans are not killing. It made no threatening gestures to any of them, and if compared to a normal one, it definitely wasn't as creepy. Granted, it looked ten times as threatening, with all them spikes and dents on it.

Suddenly, they heard a whirring noise behind the Barbatos. It turned and saw Mikasa coming straight at it, swords at the ready. When she slashed, however, both blades snapped like dried twigs. Recovering quickly, she kicked off the side of its shoulder and landed on a nearby building.

Quickly swapping out blades, she was about to attack the Barbatos until Coral got in her way. "Stand down, Mikasa! It is not the enemy."

Looking bewildered, she began questioning him. "Step aside, Coral! It's a Titan, and they're the enemy!"

"It's not!" shot back Coral. "This Titan is the one which helped the evacuation of Shiganshina five years ago, and it's back to help I mean, you were from Shiganshina after all…"

"What do you mean by that, Coral?" asked Mikasa, lowering her blades a tiny bit.

"Five years ago, this Titan assisted in the evacuation of Shiganshina," explained Coral. "It also helped us push back the Titans at east Trost and even assisted a few of us when we were caught by Titans."

While she wasn't fully convinced, she knew Coral never lied to any one of his friends or peers, seeing as he was one of the commanding officers which taught the Trainee Squad.

And to add on, this thing did look oddly familiar. If she wasn't wrong, the bloody thing fought the Armoured Titan within the confines of Maria, though she couldn't really remember much as she only caught a slight glimpse of it before that boat she, Eren and Armin were on went into Trost.

Calming down, she sheathed her blades, in turn calming Coral down as well.

"Very well then," she replied, before she started to look around, apparently looking for someone. After several seconds, she zoned in on a blonde sitting alone. Zooming towards him, he called out his name. "Armin!"

Completely ignoring the Titan beside her, she rushed to her friend and knelt down in front of him. "You okay?" she asked, getting no response. Standing, she looked around. "Where's Eren?"

Having no response, she called Armin's name once more. And after another short moment of silence, Armin suddenly shot his head up, eyes filled to the brim with regretful tears. He looked at Mikasa silently, his eyes telling most of the story.

Finally, he spoke. "Those… of the 34th Training Squad…" he started, pressing his fists onto his thighs. "Thomas Wagner, Marcus Daymen, Kio Asuno, Lacus Clyne, and Eren Jaeger all accomplished their duties and were heroically killed in action!"

When he finished, the atmosphere became even more depressing than before. Mina and Nac felt a strong surge of sadness inside them. They were often with the guy, mainly talking to the guy along with Mikazuki. Nac secretly wondered what Zuki would think if he was still here.

Annie, on the other hand, didn't really care, because she's Annie. And Annie hardly ever cares about these kinda stuff.

As for the Barbatos, no one knew what it felt. Though most didn't think it cared.

Most of them expected Mikasa to show some form of emotion, but she didn't. Kneeling down and placing her hand on Armin's, she looked at him with her dead looking eyes."Armin."

"Calm down. This isn't the time to be getting sentimental," she ordered, straight faced and standing up. "Stand up. Marco, if we eliminate the Titans swarming the HQ, we can refill our tanks and scale Wall Rose, right?"

"Yeah, you're correct," he replied. "But even if it's you, there are too many-"

"I can do it," she replied as the Barbatos turned to face her, startling a few of the members. Though Team Coral + Riko hardly flinched. "I'm… strong. Stronger than all of you"

With that said, the girl raised her sword into the air. "Far stronger. And so, I can kick around those Titans. Even alone. Forget lacking talent, you're all nothing but cowards. It's a real shame, so feel free to sit back and watch. That's all you have to do."

"Hey, Mikasa, what the hell are you saying?!" exclaimed a girl who looked suspiciously like Hannah.

"You're gonna take on that many Titans by yourself?!" added another generic anime dude.

"There's no way that's-"

"If I can't, I'll die. But if I win, I live," she replied, simple and straightforward. "If I don't fight, I can't win."

And with that, she jumped off and zipped into battle, leaving the rest of the trainees stuck there.

"The real shame is your way with words," proclaimed Jean, looking down. "Expecting that to rile us up."

"It had better," came a voice beside him. Turning shakily, he saw the Barbatos looking forward. It crouched down before the black blocks on its hips and a segment on the backpack flipped up.

"What does that mean?!" exclaimed the generic anime dude.

"It means that you guys better fight, or die," it replied, before blue flames burst out from the legs, hip 'skirts' and backpack, sending it zipping forward in a speed well above the 3D-MG.

Gritting his teeth, Jean shook his head violently. Though Coral's team "It's your fault, Eren…" whispered Jean, clearly infuriated.

"Hey! I don't recall being taught to leave our comrades to fight alone!" came Nac's voice, and with that said, he got everyone's attention, and it surprised them all as he almost never raised his voice. "You're all gonna become real cowards!"

Once those words left his mouth, he zipped off alongside Coral, Mina, Mylius, Annie and Riko. though both Riko and Coral were headed towards Rose, as they had enough gas and had to report in to Keith.

"We can't let that happen," grunted Reiner, walking towards the battlefield along with Bertolt.

"This is a suicide run…" groaned Jean.

"Well, it's better to die in the battlefield than to die a coward," came Connie's voice as he walked past Jean. "If you're gonna die a coward, then be my guest."

With that said, Springer and Brous went after the other Trainees/Garries/Corps who went forward. Groaning in frustration, Jean saw no other choice but to follow.

Up front, Mina fell in beside Reiner. "Hey, Reiner?"

"Yeah?" asked Reiner.

"Have you seen Mika around…?" asked Mina hopefully.

"No, I thought he was with you?" said Reiner.

"No… he isn't," was his reply before Mina shot herself forward as an impressive speed.

"Hey, Mina!" proclaimed Reiner. "You're going too fast!"

Unfortunately for him, Mina zipped straight past Nac and Annie. Raising her blades, she sliced an unexpecting Titan's nape clean off.

Seeing his friend take off so daringly compelled Nac to follow suit. Increasing his speed, he zipped beside Mina and latched himself onto a 7 metre. Whirling around, he detached the wire before firing it onto the nape and hoisting himself in for the kill.

"Their drive for revenge is impressive," complemented Annie, zipping faster to follow her two friends. Behind her, the rest of the Trainees began to regain hope and zip after them.

As they progressed onwards, Jean couldn't resist a smirk. But it was wiped off his face when a 15 metre charged him. He got ready to evade, until a massive piece of metal swung down onto it. Looking at the one who swung the weapon, he was mildly surprised that it was the Barbatos.

"Good to see you guys riled up," came it's voice. "Now, go! I'll bring up the rear""

Jean nodded at that statement, launching forward. "Go! Follow Mikasa! Speed is key for this battle! Get to HQ before you run outta gas!"

As they moved onwards, with Mikasa taking the front and the Barbatos taking the rear, they ripped through the hordes like a Wrench Mace through Carta's Graze Ritter's arm unit. But suddenly, Mikasa's 3D-MG stopped working.

The lack of gas sent her tumbling down onto a building, breaking some of the roof tiles instead of her bones. But hey, Ackerman is hard. She's ranked number 1 for a reason. And it's cuz she's HARD.

Anyways…

"Mikasa!" exclaimed Armin before he quickly diverted his direction to his friend, with Connie following behind. The Barbatos seemed to not care, sticking closest to Mina, Annie and Nac.

"Armin, wait!" exclaimed Jean.

"Incoming Titan!" exclaimed Mylius who was behind horse fa- I mean Jean, diverting his attention back forward, causing Jean's eyes to widen. Suddenly, the Barbatos leapt into the air, it's weapon held tightly in it's hands. With a powerful downswing, it obliterated the 10 metre.

"Uh, nevermind…" muttered Mylius.

As it pulled the weapon from the ground, the Barbatos turned and lifted its arms. The Trainees were confused to what it was doing, until it blasted out a massive 170 mm cannon round. It flew straight at a 4 metre, blowing it up.

"Did you see that?!" exclaimed a Trainee as they passed the Barbatos.

"I did!" replied Reiner, a little ahead of them. Nac and Bertolt responded the same. Turning, the 18.8 metre activated its gear and blasted behind them.

"Stop talking," it instructed. "Just keep going."


10 minutes later

"It's not possible to make it there, not without sacrifices at least…" whispered Jean. In the ten minutes of them zipping across Trost, they had made it about 70% there. Thank to the Barbatos, casualties were rather sparse, with everyone surviving the journey. Well, minus Mikasa, Armin and Connie who were still somewhere out there.

But not everyone was safe atop a roof. Looking down, Jean saw a Trainee practically freaking out.

Hard to blame him. His 3D-MG ran out of gas a while back. Jean was about to help, until a 5 metre (or somewhere around that size) ran into the camera's field of view. Behind him, Nac came flying by. "Hang tight, Tom!"

He was about to assist, until an 8 metre caught him. The raven haired boy struggled as a girl shot down to assist, only to be caught by another 8 metre.

Opening its mouth, the 5 metre was about to consume 'Tom', until a weapon which resembled a sword struck it in the head, sending it backwards. Before anyone asked, two 2500 mm missiles were launched at the 8 metres, completely obliterating them

"What the?!" exclaimed Jean, only to find the culprit looking straight at him. It had its arms outstretched, but instead of black blocks, it had two odd cone like structures resting on circular platforms

Rushing forward, the Barbatos snatched the three up and tossed them onto the building. "Jean," it started. "Get going!'

Seeing an opportunity, Jean nodded. "Come on! It'll distract them. Now's our chance, rush to the HQ!"

Tom was, at first, thinking that he'd be left behind. But Jean instructed another soldier to assist him. And Nac volunteered to carry him to HQ. And after he lifted the Trainee, the group went off to HQ.

When they were gone, the Barbatos clenched it's weapon tightly in both hands. As a 9 metre approached quickly, it quickly raised it up and slammed the thing down onto it, turning the tiny giant into a puddle of gore.

Ducking, it whirled around and grabbed a 15 metre by the neck before lifting it into the air and slamming it back down, hard. As the Titan regenerated, the Barbatos lifted a foot over the nape and squashed it.

Looking towards the pack of three coming closer, it held the Mace weapon in both hands and charged the group.

Zipping past Titans along the way, Jean led his team through the desolate city of Trost. Several unnamed Trainees didn't make it, but the main characters, seeing as they have plot armour, got all the way through.

Jean did get caught by the leg, but he slashed the finger off so it didn't count.

Dodging the grasps of the Titans, they managed to get through the blockade and into the HQ. Of the fifty or so Trainees, only Jean, Annie, Reiner, Bertolt, Marco, Sasha, Mina, Nac, Mylius and a couple others came through.

Looking to his left, Jean noticed two Suppliers cowering under a table. "You guys… are the supply squad, right?"

When they responded positively, he pulled the boy out from under the table and punched him square in the face, with Marco trying to stop him. "These guys left us out to die! People died in vain because of you lot!"

"The Titans broke into the supply station!" retorted the girl. "There was nothing we could do!"

"Did you forget about your job to do something like that?!" exclaimed Jean, absolutely furious at this point. Before he could go on, however, Reiner noticed a sound coming their way.

"Get down!" exclaimed the large blonde, before a head slammed into the left wall. The Supply chaps and Trainees went hysterical, trying to get out. As the unnamed Trainees rushed out, Jean couldn't move any of his muscles, paralyzed from fear.

Suddenly, a fist collided with the two hideous faces peering through the hole, sending the bastards flying down. When they were gone, a Titan with a pointy chin and admittedly well done black hair roared. "What the?!"

As if on cue, Mikasa crashed in, with Connie holding Armin in his arms, bridal style.

"Phew, it just ran out!" proclaimed Connie, tapping the fuel tanks on his Maneuver Gear. "We did it, though barely!"

As Mikasa stood up, Connie clapped Arlert on the back. "Well done, dude! Your plan was a success!" Standing, Connie looked around. "Everyone, we have another Abnormal that attacks other Titans!"

And with that, he pointed to the 15 metre. "Not to mention, it doesn't care about us! Think of it as another Barbatos, except not Mechanical. If we can make good use of both Titans, we might just be able to get out of here!"

"Make good use… of Titans?" questioned a Trainee.

"You think we'll be saved by those Titans?" asked a skeptical Jean. "You must be delusional-"

"It's far from delusional," said Mikasa, cutting him off. "The Barbatos has proven that it has no intention in hurting us and this… Rogue Titan seems to be only content on killing Titans. Also, it doesn't matter what they are. All we need is for them to continue their rampage.


"Realistically, it's our only plan for survival"

Inside the chest of the 'Mechanical Titan', a kid was stepping on the thruster units of the Gundam. While he wouldn't consider himself one to be worried, he felt that specific emotion tugging at his chest more than usual. Mainly because he hoped that his friends were alright.

Suddenly, on screen alerts blared on. Looking forward at the optical sensors, he spotted an entire group of Titans, and they spotted him as well.

Boosting forward, he bodyslammed the Barbatos straight into a 14 metre, crashing it into a building. As it regenerated it's torn apart back and random body parts, the 18.8 metre Gundam ripped a sharp wooden support plank off the broken building and stabbed it right into the nape.

Pulling it out, it tossed the wooden 'spear' at a 10 metre, piercing the eye and sending it flying back. Turning, it caught a punch from a 15 metre and tossed it aside. As the Titan it tossed stood up clumsily, and the Barbatos got ready to engage it, until something punched it aside.

When the fat 15 metre got knocked aside, the Mechanical Titan saw another 15 metre, its outstretched to the right. It had a pointy chin and bitching fine black hair. It then turned to the 18.8 metre, staring at it.

Suddenly, it sprung forward, both fists raised. Dropping its weapon, the boy pulled up on the controllers of the Barbatos and caught both fists in its manipulators. Face unit to face with the Titan, nearly two metres away, the Gundam suddenly headbutted the 15 metre, destroying part of the skull and making it stomp back.

Quickly regenerating it's broken cranium, the Titan attempted to punch the waist of Barbatos, only for the fist to be caught easily by the taller MS. It then raised it's left leg, kicking the Barbatos towards the supply depo. Activating the backpack thruster, the boy managed to keep his MS on its feet and not crush the depo station his friends/comrades were in.

Right when the Gundam stood up, the pilot noticed the on screen alerts. Turning, he grabbed the arm controllers and immediately blocked several quick strikes from the Titan. After the 80th strike, and accidentally killing about twenty 3-5 metre Titans by accidentally stepping on them, the larger Titan managed to grab the arms of the shorter one.

Though it would be easy to kill it, something urged the boy to try and reason with the 15 metre. Most likely his instincts. You can't blame him, seeing as his instincts were top class.

Tapping the built in mic, steam was pushed out from its mouthplate. "Hey, you!"

That seemed to get it's attention. The Titan widened it's eyes a tiny bit and growled. "I know you hear me!" continued the boy through the built in microphone. "I'm on your side!"

Unfortunately for the Gundam, the Titan seemed to only get angrier. The boy gritted his teeth. He didn't have time for this, if he was gonna try to reason with this Abnormal, he would need a better plan.

Luckily, the boy noticed an incoming 15 metre. Lifting up the left leg of the Barbatos, he kicked the 'Rogue' Titan aside and raised the left arm. Within a second, he blasted a 2500mm rocket from the arm motor. The blast liquified the Titan, killing it.

Turning his Gundam, he saw the Rogue Titan gettin up. Looking at the MS, it seemed to be observing the 18.8 metre. Grunting, it turned and ran at a big group of Titans.'

Sighing, the pilot massaged his hands as the Gundam Frame expunged steam from the vents on its chest, mouthplate and shins. Grabbing the arm controller of the Gundam, he pulled it to the right and caught a fist with the manipulator. Looking at the Titan, he lifted it up to eye level of the Barbatos.

"Thought you could get the jump on me, didn't you?" he asked, smirking evilly. With a forceful jerk on the arm controller, the Barbatos side armed the Titan straight at the wall of Trost, denting the area it crashed into.


Inside the depo station, the team managed to clear the entire Titan infestation inside and refueled their gear. Frankly, it was partly thanks to the 'Rogue' Titan and the Barbatos keeping the Titans out from the area though Armin was the one who came up with the plan.


As the lift to the resupply hanger lowered, the Trainees held their breath, rifles in their hands and waiting for the moment to aim.

"It's good, only seven of them here."

With that said, all twenty or so Trainees aimed their rifles. Turning, a Titan looked at directly at them, scaring a few Trainees. Quickly, Marco told him to calm himself as he aimed. "Let them get closer!"

And they did, slowly tromping over. Unbeknownst to the Titans, several of the best Trainees were on the rafters, including Annie, Mikasa, Reiner, Nac and Mina.

'We can afford to lose our advantage," thought Reiner, staying quiet. 'If we want everyone to survive… we'll have to decide it with a single blow,"

'Wait for it…' thought Nac, motioning to Annie and Mina, who nodded.

The Titan came a step closer.

"Ready… aim..." commanded Marco, fingering the trigger (DON'T you dare misinterpreted that) as the Titan came closer. The freckled boy held the trigger close until it's eye right in front of the barrel.

"FIRE!"

And with that, the Trainees blasted straight into the eyes of the Titans, blinding them.

And with incredible speed, those above the rafters zipped downwards, slashing at the napes of their foes. Mikasa took out a Titan in a single blow along with Reiner and the others.

Unfortunately, Sasha and Connie aimed a little too low. And Sasha's target turned to face her with its round, piercing eyes. "U-um… I apologize for sneaking up behind you so suddenly…"

Unfortunately, the Titan declined her apology and walked towards her. Bertolt and Jean ordered for the others to assist, but the 5 metre (or somewhere along there) was already upon her.

Cheeks streaming with tears, Sasha only looked up in horror as it descended on her. "I'm…"

Suddenly, it lunged, and Potato Gurl jumped to the right. "SO SORRY!"

Suddenly, Mina came down and slashed the Titan's nape, killing what was supposed to kill her last chapter. And by the side, Annie assisted Connie in taking down his.

"MINA!"exclaimed Sasha as Mina checked on her. "YOU SAVED ME!"

"Are you hurt?" asked the girl before Sasha gave her a very tight hug. "Too tight, Sash…"

"NO! THANK YOU!" exclaimed the Potato Queen.

"Then please let go of me…" pleaded Carolina. Sasha complied and allowed her savior to finally breath.

"Thanks a bunch, Annie!" yelled Connie as Annie shook her head.

"I can't believe you're part of the top ten," groaned Annie, making Connie protest.

"We got all of them!" exclaimed Jean, looking up as Connie protested to Annie. "Start filling your tanks!"

The Trainees up top gave wide smiles, which did falter a bit when the building shook a little (thruster). Though the shaking did cause Marco to nearly faint. Thankfully Carly and Armin got him.

Filling up their tanks, the Trainees grinned from ear to ear. They finally had a way to escape! Some were glad they didn't get chomped on while others praised the 'Rogue' Titan and 'Barbatos'.

Sasha, on the other manipulator… uh… I mean hand, was ashamed that she surrendered to a Titan. "I'm too ashamed to look anyone in the eyes!"

"We'll scorn you for that later!" exclaimed Springer. "Now, we gotta get going!"

With Jean, he told Marco that he never believed he was suited to lead. But Marco disagreed, saying that because he isn't strong, he can sympathize with the feelings of the weak and looking at things objectively, having a clear idea of what needs to be done.

He even praised his friend about his orders, saying they were why he was able to move and also why he was still alive. Well, it was partly thanks to the Barbatos as well, but Jean led them here after all.


"You all ready?" asked Jean, and they responded with yesses. "Than let's roll out!"

"Wrong franchise dude," piped up Sasha.

"Err… I mean let's move!"

Dashing out, the Trainees made their way towards Wall Rose, passing by the Barbatos on the way. The supply team was at first horrified at it, but their peers were going past it as though it were not there, so they did likewise.

Though unlike the others, Mikasa wasn't moving. Instead, she was looking down at a scene. Armin noticed her and zipped upwards, followed by Reiner, Bertolt, Jean and Annie. Nac and Mina let their curiosity take hold of them and went along as well.

When he got up, however, Armin saw something he never expected. Two 13 metres and a 4 metre, eating the Rogue Titan.

Looking to the left, Mina saw the Barbatos taking on it's own horde of ten, maybe more, so it was a little preoccupied to assist. Just a little. So all they could do is to watch the scene in front of them unfold.

"I thought that if we could somehow solve the mystery of those two Titans, it'd become a chance to pull ourselves out of this hopeless reality," said Mikasa.

"I agree," agreed Reiner. "If it gets devoured, we'll be as clueless as ever. Let's assist both and keep that Abnormal alive for now. We can dissect the Barbatos later if needed."

"Are you serious, Reiner?!" exclaimed Jean. "We can finally get out of this hellhole, you know?!"

"But there's a chance that both Titans could become strong allies with humanity," replied Annie.

"But-" began Jean.

"Do you think that a slash can be compared to the punch of that Abnormal?" cut off Annie, glaring at him. "Or a cannon round will be more powerful than the Mechanical ones strikes?"

"I agree with Annie," commented Mina, making her friend look at her. "The Barbatos has shown to be friendly towards humanity, and the Abnormal, so far, only targets Titans."

Nodding, Annie looked back at Jean. "They would make for powerful allies."

"Allies?" questioned the guy. "Do you two hear what you're saying?"

However, before he continued, Armin noticed a Titan lumbering towards the Abnormal. A familiar one. "That's… the Abnormal that ate Thomas…"

As if on cue, the one pinned down sprang forward, roaring even more furiously than before, earning the attention of the Barbatos, who was finishing its course, and the Trainees. Running at full speed, one of it's arms tore off from a Titan's fat ass being on it while the other just fell off, cuz why not?.

Limbless and pretty much with no way of attack, the Abnormal did the most unexpected, and the most gangsta, thing ever.

It bit it's foe by the neck. Sinking it's teeth into the nape, the Abnormal raised it high in the air as if it earned a trophy. However, its ribcage we slowly breaking down, so it had to be fast in disposing the last remaining Titans in the area.

Turning it's eyeball to the right, the Abnormal swung the one it caught at a 5 metre, sending it flying, before swinging it the opposite way, sending a 14 metre crashing inside a building. After it finished its impressive killing spree, it opened it's jaw and let the corpse of the Abnormal fall before letting out a roar.

As the Barbatos got rid of the last Titan in the area, the Abnormal fell flat on it's face. Jean was rather glad at that, however. "Looks like it finally ran outta gas…"

Hearing stomping noises, Mina looked over and saw the Barbatos walking over to the Titan's body. Standing before it, the thing stared down at the Rogue, the eyes not leaving the thing.

"Time to go, there's no way that thing co-" started Jean, but he was cut off when he noticed that the others, including the Gundam, were looking down in shock (we dunno what the Barbatos was thinking (sorta) so it doesn't count) as the something emerged from the Rogue's nape.

As it did, Mikasa widened her eyes in complete shock. Quickly, she zipped down and onto the floor, not caring about the protests of her friends or the Mechanical Titan. There was only one thing on her mind right now.

As through the steam which emerged from the 'Rogue' Titan's nape, Mikasa spotted a familiar child kneeling, unconscious.

Once she landed, Mikasa hugged the kid closely, saying nothing as she made sure she wasn't hallucinating. She than widened her eyes and held her head close to the child's heart, listening for a heartbeat.

Though slow, they were there, signifying that her brother was still alive. Overwhelmed by her own happiness, Mikasa began to shed uncharacteristic tears as she held her brother close. Slowly, the tears became so frequent that she started to cry, which greatly surprised the Trainees as they zipped down.

Atop the Supply Depo, thanks to Barbatos, the eight of them, once again including Barbatos, watched as Mikasa hugged Eren Jaeger close to her, occasionally sniffing. Armin was shocked beyond belief while Mina and Nac remained confused. First the Barbatos, now this?

Armin then reached for his friend's hand and held it. "What… in the world…?"

Tightening his grip, Armin only looked at his pal in pure shock and joy. But Jean turned back, along with the other Trainees. "Does that mean… both Eren and Barbatos did this?"

"I came only about thirty minutes ago," came the Barbatos' voice, making them look at it. "most of the destruction is from Eren."

"No way…"


Holy moly that took a while. Anyways, I'm sure this is probably better than the previous part, but probably not by much. I'll have to edit this sometime soon.

Anyhoo, special thanks to the admittedly awesome Ghost259 for the compliment. And I'll be changing the tenses sometime in the future.

NOW, a question. Any thoughts on pairings? I dunno since it could be tough, but I feel like it could work. I'll let you guys decide that one. And I should fix the cover picture as well.

Anyhoo! Let's get to the next chapter, once I type it out.

The Gundam suddenly headbutted the 15 metre, destroying part of the skull and making it stomp back.

"Ow!" exclaimed the guy in the costume.

"Too hard?" replied the guy in the Gundam armour as the director stopped the scene

Le static

"Allies?" questioned the guy. "Do you two hear what you're saying?"

"For fuck sake, Jean. You should know what I mean," replied Annie, before everyone burst out laughing, even director Stryker.

"Alright..." started the director. "Retake… retake."

Le static

As if on cue, Mikasa crashed in, with Connie holding Armin bridal style. "Phew, it's just ran out. We did it, though barely!"

"Can you let me down now?" asked Armin.

"Shhhhh, this is what the fangirls want."
