A/N: All right, so this is what happens when I misplace my idea sheets. Hopefully this chapter turned out good, I kinda just made it up as I went along.

Armin was getting from bad to worse every step. He kept moaning, but the moans were weak and becoming more and more silent.

"Armin!" Jean yelled keeping Armin awake.

"I just wanna... sleep." Armin said from the mans shoulders.

Jean started to have trouble keeping up and as he slowed down, so did Christa.

Soon, Jean had to stop and he watched as the strange man carried Armin towards Eren and the others.

Eren had finally come to terms with what had happened, Jessy was dead and there was no changing that.

Elsa still clung to his body crying, still hoping that his heart would start again.

Mikasa pulled Eren off to the side and looked at him with a worried expression.

"That could have been you." she said to him.

Eren gave her a strange look and then gave her a big hug.

"But it wasn't, that's what counts right?" Eren said.

Eren felt disgusted with himself for saying that, Jessy didn't deserve to die.

When he seperated himself from her, he turned to Connie and Sasha who just stood there not knowing what to say.

"You two! Go find the others and bring them here!" Eren shouted as the two looked at him and nodded.

After ten minutes of walking, the two finally found Jean and Christa.

"Hey you two!" Connie yelled.

Sasha looked around and then asked the question they didn't want to hear.

"Where is Armin?" she asked.

Connie noticed the two tense up from the question.

"Is he hurt?" Connie shouted out.

Christa started letting out small gasps of sadness as she tucked her head into Jeans shoulder.

"Sasha, head back to Eren. I'll help these two back!" Connie barked and she took off without question.

Eren looked back at Elsa and walked over to her.

"Elsa, I''m sorry I couldn't do anything."

Elsa didn't look at him.

"Elsa... please we need to go."

She didn't move, it seemed like nothing would separate her from Jessys body.

Eren and Mikasa just stood over her, all hope starting to fade when the strange man showed up carrying Armin.

Erens eyes widened at the sight of his best friend.

"Armin!" Eren yelled as he ran over to the strange man.

"He sacrificed himself to save one of the others." was all the man said.

Eren just ignored the man as he put Armin down on the ground.

Armin was barely awake.

"Armin, look at me!" Eren yelled

Armins eyes met Erens and seeing his friend again gave him a small burst of life.

"Eren, I... I saved... her." Armin said quietly as his eyes started to shut again.

Eren gave Armin a shake making his eyes open again.

Mikasa saw Sasha arrive and quickly ran over to her.

"Where is everyone else?" she asked.

"They are on their way, but Armin is missing."

Sasha looked a little confused as Mikasa pointed over to the others and when she saw the short blond boy laying on the ground, she felt her stomach try to come out her mouth.

Connie, Jean and Christa arrived shortly after Sasha and Jean ran over to where the others had Armin.

"There is little I can do for him." the strange man said as he looked through a bad of medical gear.

Eren looked at the man in shock as Armin started coughing and gasping for air.

"It is cruel to prolong a persons suffering." he said to Eren.

Eren went from shocked to angry, the man wanted to kill Armin.

Armin managed to move his arm and put it on Erens leg.

Eren looked down and grabbed Armins hand holding it tight.

"Are you going to be cruel or merciful?" the man asked Eren.

Eren looked down at Armin who had started gasping for air as he shook his head.

"It... it's... okay... Er... Eren." Armin managed to say.

The man reached into his bag and pulled out a small bottle of pills, the label read 'Cyanide'.

The man removed a pill and placed it between Armins teeth.

"Bite down." the man said and Armin did.

There was a loud cracking sound of the pill being opened and the man held Armins mouth shut.

Armin started to shake as he let out small wimpers, the poison hit him instantly.

After a few seconds, Armin stopped shaking, stopped making noise.

"It was the right choice." the man said as he gently put Armins head on the ground and ran his hand over Armins eyes closing them.

Eren couldn't look, couldn't understand why everyone but him was dropping dead.

The man removed his hood and said a prayer in a language that Eren had only heard one person speak.

The man looked at Eren and put his hand up to his face wrap.

"I think it is time you know." the man said.

Mikasa heard the man and looked over and saw as he pulled his face wrap off.

Erens face went blank, he didn't know how it could be possible.

"Hello son." the man said.

"No, no that can't be, you can't be." Eren said as he struggled to take steps away from the man.

The man was Eren and Mikasas father, Grisha Yaeger.

Girsha looked over at Mikasa who was just as shocked as Eren, she didn't know how it could be possible. Everyone else was confused, they had no idea what was going on.

"I'm sorry I was never here for so many years Eren, but you must understand I had my reasons." Grisha said to him.

Seeing his father again made him think of his mother, and how he wasn't there to help them save her.

Eren lashed out at Grisha and again, he countered him and threatened to break his arm.

Mikasa ran over to help Eren, it didn't matter to her that Grisha was her adoptive father. She would defend Eren from anyone who tried to harm him.

Grisha sighed and released him, giving him a gentle push into Mikasa.

"It seems I am no longer needed here." Grisha said as he started to walk away.

"But I want you to remember something Eren, I will always be watching over you." he said as he disapeared into the forest.

Erens rage dispersed as fast as it arrived and his attention went back to Armin who layed lifeless on the ground.

"We are leaving." he said as he went and picked up Armins body.

The rest of their journey was spent silently, no one had the courage to break the eerie silence.

It started to get dark again as they left the forest. To everyone's relief, the wall was in sight and the just had to go through a small village to get to it, but titans were swarming it.

"We need to tread carefully." Eren said as they continued to slowly walk towards the wall.

The Garrison Officer who had sent Erens squad to destroy Squad Mitchelle was reading his book when a young soldier ran into his office panting.

"What is the meaning of this?" the officer said as he put his book down.

"Sir, Squad Yaeger has been spotted just outside the wall!" he said panting.

The officer stood up in surprise.

"Well what are you waiting for! Give the order to retrieve them!" he yelled.

The man ran out of the room, the officer leaving shortly after him.

"Eren look." Connie said quietly as he saw people repelling down the wall.

"Still got that flare gun Sasha?" Jean asked.

Sasha nodded and handed it to Jean who handed it to Eren.

"Get ready to run everyone." he said as he stood up and fired the flare.

In the distance Eren could hear someone shouting something like 'flare sighted'.

Eren grabbed Armins body and Elsa grabbed Jessys as they made a mad dash for the wall.

Garrison soldiers tried to divert the titans attention so that Eren and his friends could get back to the wall un opposed, but some titans did stray into their paths.

They met up with a small group of Garrison soldiers who were tasked with getting them up the wall.

Eren and Elsa just handed the bodies of their friends over to the Garrison soldiers.

"Get them up the wall and then come back for us!" Eren yelled as he pulled out his swords and turned to face one of the titans slowly walking towards them.

"Eren!" Mikasa said as she pulled away from the Garrison soldier about to take her up the wall.

"Mikasa, don't be stupid! Get up the wall, I will follow shortly!"

"I am going to he-" she was cut off by Eren.

"Mikasa! Stop being an idiot and get up the fucking wall!" he screamed and she slowly backed away looking down in defeat.

Eren turned his attention to the titan again as he heard the garrison soldiers ascend up the wall with their friends.

"I will go for the legs, you kill it." Eren said as he ran forwards, Elsa following shortly behind.

Eren ran through the titans legs and sliced the achilles tendon causing it to fall as Elsa jumped onto it and drove her blades deep into the nape of its neck.

Eren looked around, and counted seven titans approaching rapidly.

"There is too many!" Elsa yelled as Eren ran back to her side.

He was about to speak when he felt the ground shake beneath him, a familiar shake.

he quickly looked around until he located the giant 13 meter titan that he and Mikasa had been taken down by.

"How the fuck do you keep finding me?" Eren muttered under his breath.

Two Garrison soldiers came down the wall as fast as they could and ran over to Elsa and Eren.

"We gotta go!" one of them yelled.

Eren wanted to kill that titan badly, but he knew now was not the time.

The four of them ran back to the wall, but Eren felt the ground start to shake faster and faster below his feet.

As he turned around, the massive titan was charging them at full speed.

"Get up the fucking wall!" he yelled as the Garrison soldier grabbed him and shot his 3DMG up the wall.

Eren looked at the titan again, it was almost right on top of them when they started moving up the wall. He saw it clench its hand into a fist, then he looked to Elsa and the other soldier who had been picked up by a titan.

Elsa looked up at him, tears in her eyes as she reached up with a false hope of grabbing his hand.

Eren just looked down at her as the large 13 meter titan slammed her into the wall with its fist, she died on impact.

Eren felt like it was a part of him that was left down there to die, like a piece of his soul had just been ripped off.

As the Garrison soldier brought Eren to the top, he saw everyone looking over the wall at the 13 meter titan who was looking up at them, Sasha and Christa were covering their mouths in horror.

The Garrison Officer who had sent Eren on that mission was there as well.

"Where is the rest of your squad Yaeger?" the officer asked him.

Eren looked down in shame, he failed to keep his entire squad safe. Not a single survivor but him.

"They all perished to the titans sir." was all he said.

"Eren Yaeger, you are dismissed." he said angrily. "We thought wrong about you."

Mikasa stormed over to the Garrison Officer and told him to take a look over the edge.

The 13 meter titan was still looking up at them with a very smug look on its face, Elsa dead at its feet.

The Officer looked a bit shocked and he quickly stepped away from the edge gaining his angry look back.

"Hmph, any good squad leader would have put his squad members before his or her self."

Every looked at the officer in anger.

Eren just looked down in shame, he knew the Officer was right. It should have been him down there.

"You failed to bring your people home, you aren't even fit for the uniform!" the Officer screamed.

"And you need to shut the fuck up and realise there is a difference between a soldier and a leader." a voice came from behind the Officer.

Eren looked in confusion as the Scout Regiment member that he met in the forest was standing there with Scout Regiment Commander Erwin Smith.

"Are you Eren Yaeger?" Erwin asked.

Eren looked up at him. "Yes."

"And the rest of you are the ones who went to find him?"

Everyone else just nodded.

"I need all of you to come with me." Erwin said.

"We aren't going anywhere until we bury our dead." Jean said.

Erwin looked at Jean and his still beat up face

"It looks like you went through a lot and I will respect your wish to bury your comrades. Find me tomorrow." Erwin said as he walked away.

Eren walked over to the bodies of Armin and Jessy.

"Elsa deserves a proper burial as well." he said as he took the cadet insignia from Armins shoulder and the Garrison insignia from Jessys.

Connie grabbed Eren a fresh tank of gas for his 3DMG, but Mikasa stopped him in protest.

"Eren, it's to dangerous, I don't want to loose you."

Eren walked past her and grabbed the fresh tank from Connie.

"You won't."

A/N: SO I hope my improvising wasn't as bad as I think it is. As always, leave some feedback because every bit helps for future chapters and stories.
