The entire crowd fell silent as you stared up at the two figures on the wall, and the commander coughed as he began to talk,
"I will now explain our strategy to recapture Trost!" Your eyes widened, he was planning to do this now?! We just lost more than half of our soldiers…is he planning to kill us all?
"The goal of this of this operation will be to plug—the hole in the broken gate!" Murmurs broke out amongst the crowd again, but you just kept your head straight ahead.
"We have a way to seal the hole, but first I want to introduce you to…Eren Jeager of the training corps!" You looked to see him forming a salute,
'Eren eh?' you smirked a little, laughing to yourself. The commander continued to explain that Eren had the power to transform into a titan and that he was planning to take back Trost by using said form to help block to hole in the gate. There was a long silence after as people began to disbelieve what they just heard,
"Lift up that boulder?" "Impossible!" "IT'S A LIE!" You looked around as you saw people braking before you. People, who didn't want to die, people who didn't want to fight.
"You expect me to give my life for some nonsense like that?! What do you take us for? We're…we're not disposable blades?!" You looked towards Daz as he looked at you with fear in his eyes you shot him a glare. You let out a low growl as you saw people begin to leave, not believing the whole 'Eren can turn into a titan' thing.
"Cowards…" You muttered to yourself. Then you bumped shoulders with a soldier, He looked down at you,
"You're gonna stay here and fight?! What about friends, family?" He looked at you with fear in his eyes; but you just nodded and kept your face looking ahead,
"All dead. More the reason. I am wearing the wings of freedom on my back, am I not?" You stated bluntly as he gulped
"Even so y-" You shot him a glare as he turned and walked off.
"Hey wait! Deserters are killed!" Someone tried to stop Daz,
"I'm gonna spend humanity's last days with my family!" He shook the man off as left along with the others. Soon the team leaders realized that if this kept up they would have no soldiers and no authority of the situation, Leaders tried to fight back, tell them the deserters would be killed here, right now. You noticed the commander was going to shout again and braced yourself,
"UPON MY ORDER! ANYONE WHO LEAVES RIGHT NOW WILL GO UNPUNISHED!" People stopped for a brief moment but that only caused more soldiers to leave the crowd of now barely twenty people.
"If you have given in to your fear of the titans, you will never be able to stand against them again! Anyone who as succumbed to the terror of the titans should leave here! AND! LEAVE THE WALL AS WELL ALONG WITH YOUR LOVED ONES!" You looked back to see everyone that had begun to leave was now turning back and lining up in formation again, You smiled weakly.
"Time to roll…"
You ran along the wall, following Eren as you embarked on mission 'Counter attack mankind' or so you liked to call it. You were in charge of protecting Eren while he transformed into a titan and lifted the boulder, to block the hole on Trost. The wind rushed past your hair as you ran,
"We've almost reached the shorted route to the rock! There aren't many titans around!" The leader yelled, you all took that as a signal to start the mission,
"Hey Eren! You better know what you're doing or you're gonna get it later!" you joked jumping off the wall and rolling onto a building. He nodded,
"Count on it!" We all followed behind him as we made our way to the boulder, about 3 meters away Eren cut off his gas and transformed into a titan by biting his hand, a bright yellow light engulfed him as the titan formed, then you realized,
'That's what happened with the CT, wasn't it?' You were cut out your thoughts as Riko grabbed your arm,
"Stop daydreaming cadet _!" She yelled as you mumbled an apology and followed the group. When you were to safety you managed to properly see Eren's titan, it was big and threatening. You held down a gulp as it did scare you a little, well it scared everyone, and they were going to kill him for it. Then he began to walk towards the boulder,
"C'mon Eren, for humanity." You muttered, clenching your jaw and balling your fists. Then he turned towards you, well facing Mikasa,
"Eren?" She asked. You gasped as Eren sent a fist towards her, as if to kill. You got ready to fight,
"Mikasa move!" You yelled, taking a step forward, but then you stopped, you couldn't move? Then your eyes widened, no, you were scared. Mikasa hit the roof as you all stared, but you were in your own world trying desperately to make yourself move. Then you looked back at Mikasa who was in Eren's face,
"Eren? Don't you know me? It's Mikasa, your family! You're human Eren, you need to get the boulder and plu-" Eren swung a fist into his face as Mikasa jumped out the way, the titan fell onto the boulder in a comatose state.
"Mikasa!" You yelled taking a step forward, but Ian held you back.
"It's too dangerous! Mikasa, Eren can't control it!" Rico let out a sigh,
"The mission failed! There was never any secret weapon…just another stupid titan." She sent a red flare into the sky as it clouded around your location. You let out a sigh as you looked behind you,
"Damn it…" You muttered"
"Squad leader Ian! Two titans are approaching the front gate! A six and a nine metre class!" A soldier yelled in his direction.
"There's one more coming up from behind!" Another yelled, you growled.
"Squad leader I'll take care of th-" You were cut off by another soldier.
"We've got a twelve metre class heading this way!" You cursed looking in all directions. Before Ian could do anything you sprung off, seeing red once more.
"H-hey! _ wait!" You didn't listen as you came up to the six metre. It had a had a mad looking smile on its face, its bony features reached out to grab you but you were too quick, zipping to the back of its neck you sliced, killing the titan. You smiled up to your commander, as he just nodded.
You had all decided to make a plan of action since Eren was comatose and Mikasa refused to leave his side, even threatening to kill Rico in the process.
"I'm changing the plan! We're going to protect Eren until he has recovered!" Ian said but Rico spoke up against it,
"Hundreds of people have already died for this 'Weapon' and you're saying we have to drag him back!" She argued, you growled and stepped in,
"Rico! Eren is my friend, weather he is a human weapon or not! Like Miaksa I refuse to just leave a comrade here to die! That's not a rule I live by, even If I have to die here because of it I don't give a damn!" You yelled, everyone was taken aback a little by your outburst, however Rico just turned back to Ian.
"Ian?! Have you lost your mind?!" She yelled as she walked up to him. The two argued for a while as you balled your fists.
"Have you two come up with something yet?! If you've failed to notice we have three titans on us!" You yelled, but Mikasa grabbed your shoulder. You backed down a little, your rage dying with it.
"What the hell are we supposed to do?" You asked Mikasa who just shrugged and shook her head. Growling you looked down at Eren,
"This is all your damn fault…" You muttered.
