"Hurry! Follow Mikasa! Let's keep this fight short! We need to kill them all before we run out of gas!" Jean shouted as he surged forward with a hurt Naiyamé in his arms with all of his comrades quickly following behind him.
"Mikasa is just amazing. How can she move that fast?" Connie asked he moved forward. Mikasa was in a silent rage moment. Jean figured as much since she just found out her only family left was killed by the Titans. Jean looked at Naiyamé's hurt face.
"Just like you huh?" He thought to himself. Naiyamé was always better than him at everything. She was always in front of him. She never needed help for anything. Jean always thought how strong and fearless she was. But holding her pained and light body like this, and seeing the gentleness in her sleeping face, made Jean realize just how fragile she was.
"Naiyamé..." Jean whispered.
"Mikasa!" Armin's yelling made Jean perk his head up to see Mikasa falling. Now Jean was scared. It seemed like Mikasa used all of her gas.
"Dammit!" Jean shouted out loud as Armin changed his course to find Mikasa. Mikasa was the greatest soldier they had, but now without her agility, the situation seemed hopeless again.
"Jean! You lead the others! I'll go with Armin!" Connie shouted.
"I'm going with you!" Jean shouted back.
"What are you talking about?! There are more Titans left! We need your skills!" Connie shouted as he darted away from Jean to follow Armin. Jean was scared now. All of his actions determined his and his comrades lives. Jean closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, scared on the responsibility he now held.
"Jean, focus!" Teagan shouted from behind.
"We're all scared Jean but we've gotta do this!" Jess shouted as well. Jean sighed and looked forward to see just how far away HQ was and how little ground they had covered.
"How long until we all end up like Mikasa?" Jean thought. His worry and panic caused him to make his first command.
"Stop!" Jean yelled as he landed on the roof a building. All of his comrades quickly halted as well behind him
"Whats wrong Jean?" Jess asked. Jean ignored his comrade's question and stood there quiet for a few moments, looking at HQ.
"It's no good. We won't get close to HQ..." He thought to himself before he looked down to see all of the Titans lurking at the bottom.
"Unless we're prepared to make sacrifices." He finished his thought. Jean looked around and saw a trainee standing on the ground, pulling on the trigger to use his gas boost himself up to the safety of the roof but all Jean heard was the hiss of the 3DMG, reminding the trainee that he was out of gas.
"Damn! He's outta gas!" Jean shouted in his mind as he turned to Jess, prepared to give him Naiyamé so he could help his comrade until a shout from the ground made him look back.
"Stay away!" The poor trainee shouted as Titans swarmed all over him. It made Jean stop in his tracks and just stare at the new Titan food.
"Tom! I'm going to save you!" He heard someone shout from behind him as he saw a young comrade swing down to the ground, ready to save the helpless trainee.
"Stop! You can't!" Jean shouted, warning his comrade of the hopeless situation. But it was too late. Jean watched as a Titan grabbed that trainee and heard the sickening screams of his comrades last moments before hearing the crunching sound of bones being crushed. It made Jean want to hurl hearing the horrendous sounds.
"Why couldn't I stop them?" Jean thought as he watched the blood of his comrades trail down the Titan's hands.
"Why didn't I stop them? If I had stopped them, even by force... This wouldn't happen." He continued, sheer fear flowing thought his body.
"Am I really cut out for this? Am I really cut out for a position with so much responsibility?" Jean questioned himself, gritting his teeth, and gripping Naiyamé even tighter in his arms. His comrades stared at him behind in horror as they watched their friends be consumed by the Titans.
"Stop! I don't want to die!" He heard someone yell as he closed his eyes, the images of what he just witnessed playing in his mind.
