"I'm going to.."
"..fucking kill you!"
Alex had finished Eren's sentence with such rage, it even surprised him. In a split second, Eren let his grapple hooks free and stabbed himself in the chest as he flew down to the ground. A bright flash of lightning blinded Alex's vision for a few seconds, but soon disappeared to reveal a Titan formed Eren with steam all around him. Eren roared loudly and started sprinting at the sitting Female Titan with rage. Alex tried her best to stay close beside him, but at the speed Eren was going, it was basically impossible. The Female Titan looked up with wide light blue eyes and a small smirk plastered on her face.
Eren came charging at her with his fist pulled back, but right as he was about to hit her, she stood up and moved out of the way causing him to hit nothing but air. By now, the Female Titan had completely forgotten about Alex since she was now in a fist fight with Eren's Titan form. Alex was still yards away from the fight going on, but her face was determined and her swords were sharp and ready. Alex watched as the Female Titan kicked Eren's Titan form in the gut, causing him to spit up a lot of water and fly back.
The Female Titan still only had one eye generated; and Alex knew that and was planning to take it as an advantage. Only her left eye was healed all the way, but her right one was still blinded. The two Titans caught onto each others arms, but Eren overpowered her and threw her back into a large tree. The Female Titan stood up and took slow steps towards Eren; but left a good distance between them. Eren had his arms up in a fighting position while the Female just there radiating off hot steam.
Alex was closer by now, but now that they had stopped fighting and making noise, the sound of her gear was now noticeable by the blonde haired Titan. The Female Titan slowly turned her head towards Alex's small figure as it glided around the trees around her. Eren took advantage of this distraction and started throwing strength-filled punches at the distracted Titan even though he was out of breath himself. The Female Titan moved quickly and dodged every single hit with ease until the last one where Eren punched her shoulder and sent her flying back onto the ground. Alex was close now; really close. She was basically at the fight, just hiding carefully behind a tree. Before the Female got up, she turned head and observed the area; looking for the important soldier.
Eren roared again; catching the Female's attention. As she fought back, she kept and eye out for the sneaky soldier - Alex. Alex caught her breath as she listened to the roars from Eren and the loud bangs from them stomping and trying to hit each other. No one else was around - only a deer but it had ran off after the Female Titan stomped close enough to it to scare it off.
Alex narrowed her eyes and revealed herself from behind the large tree. Eren had thrown quick punches at the blue eyed Titan, but the Female Titan dodged them swiftly then eventually lost her balance and fell down to the ground; making herself more vulnerable. Alex moved quickly and gracefully towards the two Titan-Shifters as Eren got onto of the Female and tried throwing a punch, but the Female moved her head to the left and dodged it. The punch he throw was so strong, that when his fist can in contact with the ground, his Titan bone snapped and the skin broke apart to reveal it.
Alex yelled out in rage and tried bringing both of her swords down on the Female Titan's left eye, but she noticed the small figure dropping down to her and moved her face to the side last second. Alex's swords only came in contact with the girl Titan's pale cheek.
"What the actual fuck!? Are you fucking kidding me?! You stupid bitch!" Alex yelled, her anger pushing the point to where she couldn't control it. She didn't care though, either. It felt nice letting it out; like that one night over a month ago. It's been over a month since she's let out her emotions. Even though Alex had gone five years without doing it; she had the perfect opportunity for it now.
Alex pulled her swords out of the Female Titan's cheek and quickly jumped up and shot a hook into the nearest tree. Her feet left the Titan's face just as Eren's fist came down, but the Female dodged it once again.
"The Female Titan has incredible reflexes," Alex thought out loud as she watched the two Titan stare at each other. Eren's eyes started twitching then he shoved his face in hers and started letting out emotional roars. The Female Titan closed her headed eye and turned away to avoid contact. It was almost like she knew why he was doing that, what he was saying.
"So I'm going to need to do something quickly and unexpected," Alex confirmed then changed out her dull blades for a pair of sharp and clean ones. Eren lifted his Titan arm into the air. Titan steam rose from both numbs, and Alex knew he was trying to regenerate them as fast as he could. The thing that confused her was his head and mouth. The twitched to the point it was terrifying.
"He better not be losing to his Titan mind," Alex said, her blue eyes widening slightly as she realized why he was twitching like that. He hated the Female Titan. She had killed his - their - comrades, along with many innocent lives of the soldiers who tried to take her down. The Female Titan took his distracting twitching as an advantage and tried to make a move on him. Eren quickly caught on; but not fast enough. The Female Titan threw Eren's Titan form into the tree Alex was standing on.
Alex narrowed her eyes and moved towards the female-like Titan with incredible speed while the blonde haired Titan still had her back turned to Alex. Both Eren and Alex were so caught up in the moment that Eren didn't even notice nor pay attention that Alex was directly behind the Female Titan. His powerful punch he had intended for the Female Titan, actually hit Alex and sent her flying into the tree in front of them. The Female and Eren's eyes widened at the harsh action that just took place. They both stared in fear at the black haired girl as her limp body slid down the giant tree slowly. Her blood stained the dark brown bark, and Eren had the scary thought in his rage-filled mind that she was dead.
That he had killed her.
The Female Titan blinked and quickly made a move to Eren, seeing he was in a state of shock after hitting Alex with such force. Eren came back to his senses and dodged the punch and they both went rolling in opposite directions. Alex's breathing was barely noticeable, and her heartbeat was faint. But she was still alive. She wasn't unconscious - not yet, anyways.
She slowly blinked her blue eyes, small dots of red covered her usual perfect vision. Her body felt weak, and in pain. But the pain was so much, all she really felt was numbness in her nerves. The two Titans kept fighting - totally ignore the fact that the girl leaned against the tree could be dead. But that was good; at least to Alex. At the moment, both of the fighting Titans thought she was dead, and they both were too busy and engulfed into their fight to notice her move anyways.
Alex blinked a couple more times until her vision was back to normal. She moved her head slowly - as it was in pain and throbbing - and looked down at her currently limp body. It was covered in blood. The majority of it was hers, but there was some of it that was evaporating into the steam. It must've been from when Eren punched her and his knuckled tore open; covering her in a small amount of his blood. Alex groaned inwardly and slowly stood back up on her feet. It was a little bit hard - but she managed.
She didn't know exactly where the blood was coming from, there were multiple spots that hurt on her short figure. Her vision was slightly blurry from blood loss, but she ignored both it and the pain. Her lips turned back into a thin straight line as she readied her swords. Eren had pushed the Female Titan up against a tree. Alex could tell that body Titan-Shifters were exhausted; but neither of them looked like they were giving up.
As Eren sprinted at the limp-like Female Titan with a fist pull back, Alex quickly shot a hook into a tree and glided in the air towards the two Titans. Alex's blood spread in the air as she moved with grace. Her ring and force field has no use at the moment. She couldn't expect anything that was about to happen; and when it does, she doubts she'll be fast enough to twist her metal black rose on her ring in time. The Female Titan moved away from the tree with ease, and Eren's fist only can in contact with the rough bark. He leaned up against the tree panting. Alex could tell he was exhausted and that he probably felt bad for possibly killing her - or in his mind, actually killing her. The Female Titan was also catching her breath, faced away from Eren.
Alex used the rest of her gas to fly over to the Female Titan as fast as she could, but as she moved towards the Female Titan, both Titans turned around to face each other; Alex being in the middle of them. Eren's sea green eyes widened when he saw Alex alive flying, but they widened even more when the Female Titan grabbed Alex with her right hand, then in the speed of lightning she moved her left hand straight and fast and cut through the tree and Eren's head.
It all happened so fast, the Female Titan stretched the corners of her mouth opened and bit down on the nape of Eren's limp Titan body. There were snapping noises from the tendons connecting Eren's body to the Titan's breaking as the Female lifted Eren's weak and limp body out with her mouth. Alex's body was overheating in the Female Titan's hand, and she felt like if she made even the tiniest of moment, her bones would snap from the tight grip the Titan had on her bloodied body.
"Eren!" yelled a female voice. Alex's eyes snapped open; she recognized that voice. It was Mikasa; the second strongest girl in the 104 Trainees. Right before Mikasa's light coal eyes, the Female Titan shoved Eren into her mouth then ran off. Mikasa stayed there in the air, in shock after seeing Eren get eaten, and seeing Alex helplessly in the Titan's hand. She couldn't believe it.
Mikasa quickly got a hold of herself and narrowed her eyes in anger. As fast as she could, she caught up to the running girl Titan. She wasn't going to just let Eren die; and she owed Alex at least this much. She never got to thank Alex for giving her life to save Eren back at Trost, even though Alex lived through it, if she was a normal human being she would be dead. Mikasa shouted things at the Female Titan as she cut her cheek, then continued to cut other parts of the body.
Alex's eyes widened, "Mikasa! Cut her hand!"
Mikasa's gaze switched over to a blood covered Alex in the tight grip of the Female's right hand. Mikasa nodded and flew over there, cutting the Female's fingers off. Alex's body was released and sent down to the ground, but before she could fall to her death, Mikasa flew down and grabbed onto her small waist.
"Thanks, I owe you one," Alex said pulling out her swords. Mikasa glance over at her, "No. This is payback for trying to save Eren in Trost. I never got to thank you, so thank you." Alex blinked in surprised, but then nodded and got back to serious. "Okay, Eren's alive. This bitch went through all this trouble to capture both him and I, so she wouldn't just kill him and take him. For some reason she wasn't us alive, so she wouldn't be carrying him if he were dead. We need to get her down on the ground and cut through her hand. At the same time, we can try to cut her cheeks to make her jaw drop and let Eren out. Got it?" Alex asked.
"Got it," Mikasa confirmed then let go of Alex and flew down to the Female's back leg and cut through it causing the blonde Titan to fall onto her knees. Alex quickly shot her hook into a tree and went to cut the Titan's hand, but she moved and Alex only got to cut her arm. Mikasa took this as an advantage and went straight for her hand that is covering her nape, but the hand hardened and the only damage done was to Mikasa's blades.
"Why didn't my swords cut through it?!" Mikasa shouted at over at Alex who was hanging from the tree across from the one she was. "She can harden parts of her skin, but for only a small amount of time like me and my force field! See it's already disappearing!" Alex shouted back and pointed at the falling hardening skin with her sword. The Female Titan stood up and started running again, causing Mikasa to get mad.
"You go after her right now! I'm going to curve around and come from the side soon!" Alex ordered. Mikasa gave a small nod then went after the sprinting Titan. Alex watched as Mikasa followed the Female Titan further into the forest. She grunted at the pain in her abdomen, but quickly shook it off and detached herself from the tree. Right as she started moving, strong arms caught her and wrapped around her waist.
"What?" Alex asked surprised then looked up to see her captain.
"Stay back for now," Levi said looking down at her then letting her go. Alex and Levi flew by each other at a safe distance behind Mikasa and the Titan. "Maintain this distance. She must be worn out, too. She's not as fast anymore. It looked like she bit the entire nape off. Is Eren dead?" Levi asked beside Alex.
"No. She went through all this trouble to try and capture both of us. He's alive. I don't think she swallowed him," Alex explained side glancing at him. Levi nodded.
"That girl following her, isn't that his sister?" Levi questioned.
"Yeah. Adoptive sister. She was able to cut the Titan's fingers and free me," Alex explained watching as Mikasa continued to cut slices in the Female's body. Levi side glanced at Alex, noticing her bloody body.
"What happened to you?" He asked raising an eyebrow. The image of Eren's Titan fist punching her forcefully into the tree flashed before her eyes, but she shook her head.
"It's nothing. C'mon, we can't leave Mikasa to try to do this herself." And with that, both soldiers sped up without saying a word.
