"We have to get Reiner's attention! Fly close around him!" I instructed Jean, Connie, Mikasa and Sasha as we all made our way towards Reiner.
"Alright!" We flew towards Reiner and were prepared for him to stop running and engage in combat with us, but we were surprised when he just ran right through us. We all turned our heads to look back at Reiner.
"He ignored us?!" Connie yelled.
"Shit!" I cursed. "Is he trying to focus on Eren?" Then I felt a gust of wind pass by me as Mikasa sped past me and headed towards Reiner.
"We'll just have to kill him!" Mikasa yelled.
"Mikasa! Wait!" I screamed as I watched her move towards Reiner and pull out another thunder spear. I tried to catch up to her, but I was surprised when I saw her aim the spear for the back of Reiner's left knee. "Hey!" I yelled as I caught up to her. Reiner had fallen forward and landed on the ground in front of him.
"If we can't get Reiner's attention then our only option is to stop him now." Mikasa told me. "We protect Eren and Armin here." I saw the look of determination in her eyes when she said those words to me. It was written across her face. Mikasa wanted to protect her friends even if she lost her life in the process.
"Alright! Then we'll end him here!" I yelled.
"Ryder, we've only got three thunder spears left!" Connie informed me.
"We'll just have to try because if we don't fight…we can't win!" Sasha encouraged her teammate.
"Everyone, move to the right roof!" I instructed. The squad listened and moved to the roof onto the right. They quickly looked at me as I instructed them of what we were going to do next, "If we want to stop Reiner with three thunder spears…this will be the only way. We'll make out move when he's immobile. We only have one chance. No matter what happened, it ends here. First, Jean and I will start acting as bait. Connie and Sasha, you two each use a thunder spear and aim for both sides of Reiner's jaw. Reiner's moth will be open, so that's when Mikasa will use the last one to aim for Reiner's nape from inside his mouth. Got it?"
"Roger!" The squad nodded their heads towards me.
"Then let's go!" I ordered as I jumped off the roof and headed towards Reiner. Jean followed behind me, so we could distract Reiner together. I came up from behind Reiner and yelled, so I could announce my presence. I took out my blades and acted as if I was going to try and cut his jaw, so he instinctively raised his arm and I quickly dropped myself below him, so he couldn't catch me. I propelled myself back upwards in the opposite direction and allowed Jean to do the same thing from his side.
That's when Connie and Sasha made their appearance with the spears. However, Reiner moved his arm and completely broke a roof and the pieces of wood flew into the sky and straight into Sasha. She ended up missing the target and didn't hit one side of his jaw, but Connie managed to stay on target and aimed the spear for the left side of his jaw.
"Mikasa! You can't get inside his mouth!" I yelled over to her from a nearby roof.
"You did a good job!" I heard a familiar voice yell before I heard a loud explosion and saw that the other side of Reiner's jaw was now open and Mikasa would have the perfect opportunity to kill Reiner.
"Go Mikasa! Do it now!" I yelled over to her. Mikasa didn't hesitate as he flew off the roof and headed towards the opened mouth. She pointed the spear and with one swift click the spear went flying into the mouth and creating a massive explosion that allowed for Reiner to fly out of his titan. As I watched his body fly backwards – I saw Hanji on an opposite roof. She had blood cascading down her face from a wound that must have been caused by the previous blast, but I was surprised that she was alive. "Jean! Connie! Grab Reiner!" I instructed the two boys. I quickly made my way over to Hanji and wrapped my arms around her. "You're alive!"
"Barely, but yes, I'm alive." Hanji smiled at me as I took a step backwards.
"How? We thought that you were killed along with your squad?" I asked.
"I would have been but-wait…look! They got the Colossal titan!" Hanji pointed behind me. I turned around and saw Eren pull out Bertolt from the Colossal titan body and drag him onto a roof. At that moment I finally felt a breath escape my lungs as if I was holding my breath for the past few hours. The end was near.
