I DO NOT OWN THE ORIGINAL AO ONI CONCEPT OR SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN. and you might wanna listen to this watch?v=3NFl_TCncfw

Realization had hit all of them. Bertholdt had been gone for this long. They had forgotten about him...but how? What happened to Bertholdt?

"W-We have to go after him!" Eren shouted as he ran out the door. He ran quickly, only to be stopped by the thing again.

"Eren and the others, go on! I can take care of this.." Levi took his blades out while the others left him. "Heh...So what did you do to one of the brats..?" He took a step towards it, and threw his blades into it's eyes, making sure to get a perfect hit. "Whoops...My hand slipped." He then put his sword handles back in and ran after the others.

Everybody looked for Bertholdt on every floor. Which floor did he say that he would be on, again? Reiner couldn't remember. He and Annie were the most worried. What could have happened to their best friend..?

"Everybody split up and look for Bertholdt..! Go in pairs!" Reiner commanded.

"He's not here!" Eren and Mikasa were looking in the piano room.

"Bertholdt!" Sasha and Connie were looking in a dining room. "Damn it! Not here either!"

"Bertholdt! Where are you...!?" Christa ran around the mansion, looking in every open room she could see.

"Hey...Where are you..." Ymir followed her around, also looking for him.

"Where are you!?" Marco was running nonstop, and Jean kept following shortly. "Please, answer us!"

"Bertholdt...Bertholdt..Bertl..." Reiner refused to think he was dead. But each calling he gave, Bertholdt didn't answer.

Reiner and Annie were panicking, althought keeping it to herself. Everybody had a worried look on their faces, trying to look for their friend. After hours of searching, Levi had caught up to Eren and Mikasa. There was only one room left to look in. The room with the safe area.

"B-Bertl..Are you here..?" Annie muttered quietly while slowly opening the door. She slowly opened her eyes in shock, and quickly beckoned Reiner over...

Bertholdt was dead...

"No..." Reiner said as he walked toward the body.

Bertholdt had a huge gash in his abdomen, lying in a pool of blood. His arms were next to his sides, and his legs perfectly together, as if he'd been sleeping. His eyes were dull, like the essence that told the others he was alive was gone.

Reiner was broken. He bent over the body and slowly cried to himself while saying his name. "Bertholdt...Bertholdt.."

Annie stood there, full of both confusion and sadness. She put her hair over her face to hide a small tear. She then left the room and called everyone to the room.

"Guys..." Annie had no expression on her face. Everybody was waiting on the second floor. "He's...He's.." She let out a small cough as she started crying a little more. She walked slowly back into the room. Everyone followed to see the body of Bertholdt Fubar.

"So..." Levi looked away with a slightly troubled expression. Mikasa stared in shock, and Eren walked slowly over to him.

"Wait...You have to be kidding me..." Eren said. "You have to..right..? After we entered this mansion...I just wanted to get out with everybody..." He sat down next to Reiner, and cried.

Everybody looked away from the body, with broken faces. Connie and Sasha were crying the most, and Christa cried on Ymir's shoulder. The room was filled with sobs. Armin wiped tears slowly off his eyes.

"We were all so strong...It's hard to believe that he's actually dead.." He stared down at the body.

Jean and Marco stared with a dark expression on their faces. Nobody could understand what was happening. There was a small note in Bertholdt's pocket. Reiner looked at it in shock and took it out.

"I told you not to let anyone go on their own."

"Damn it! Bertholdt..." Reiner stared at his lifeless body as more tears fell out of his eyes.

And this conludes the first death, of Shingeki no Oni.

AAAND THAT CONCLUDES IT. The first death of Shingeki no Oni. Please don't kill me for killing Bertl first.
