Reiner slowly walked towards Wall Maria, having just returned from his scouting mission to see if the Scouts had made any moves to retake the Wall. He had not seen anything out of the ordinary, and was beginning to get tired of waiting around for something that didn't seem to be happening anytime soon.

Looking up at the Wall Reiner noticed the Sorcerer sitting on the edge, their legs hanging over the side. He watched them for a moment longer before he continued to the Wall, climbing up on top of it in his Titan form.

Once up there he pulled himself out of his nape, steam bursting into his face when he did so. Ripping off the flesh that attached to his face Reiner fully removed himself from his Titan body.

Sliding down onto the top of the Wall Reiner walked over to the Sorcerer; he watched as they spun there wand between there gloved fingers slowly. They seemed lost in their own world, and Reiner really wished that he knew more about that world.

"What are you doing?" Reiner asked the figure.

"I have been trying to locate Hari be her magical signal, normally it would only point in her direction, but for some reason when I try and track her this way, the wand pulls my arm. It is similar to how- never mind it doesn't matter. The point is I can't get a solid point on her by tracking her magic." The Sorcerer said, presumably irritated; Reiner couldn't actually tell, they were a master of their emotions.

"Is magic the only way you can track someone?" Reiner asked, before flinching, realizing that he had probably asked a dumb question.

"No, there are other ways to track people, but this one is the only one that has given me any results. Hari's being was changed substantially when she was transported here, so I can't track her normally; but even with me trying to track her magic, I can't get a solid reading." The Sorcerer explained.

"This is actually one of the least popular ways to track people, because it gentry pulls on their magic when you track them like this; alerting them. It pulls on me though so I don't know if it is pulling on them or not." The Sorcerer further explained.

"Why doesn't it work how it's supposed to?" Reiner asked, feeling more confident with his questions.

"I imagine that her magic has also changed when she was transported here. The only other explanation would be that she is currently using too much of her magic for me to get a solid reading on it, but since you said she never used her magic I don't think that is the case." The Sorcerer said before they stopped spinning their wand.

The Sorcerer mumbled something and then their wand began to vibrate, before sharply jerking their arm forward, pulling at it. Thinking quickly Reiner grabbed the Sorcerer before they could fall of the Wall.

Pulling them back, Reiner was surprised by just how hard the wand pulled against them, then suddenly it stopped, and both of them were thrown back; crashing onto the top of the Wall.

Reiner rubbed the back of his head in pain, he heard the Sorcerer grown as well.

"What was that?" Reiner demanded.

"That was me trying to locate Hari based on her magic; I have never felt that strong of a pull though, her magic must be hyperactive right now. Because there is no way that her magic has simply changed, she has to be actively using it right now."

/Hari/

They rode silently through the night on carriages, everyone was silent as they slowly approached where they believed Eren to be held; Reiss's church. Hari hoped that they were right about this plan, because if Eren was not here, he would be eaten, and Mikasa would do who knows what.

Sighing Hari as she turned towards Mikasa, and watched her stiff form as she stared straight ahead, watching the road. Mikasa was probably the best chance they had at victory in this battle, but she was also the least predictable, and there for the most dangerous.

She would not let anything get in the way of protecting Eren, even if it was the safety of the rest of her team.

Pushing the thoughts from her mind Hari turned her eyes to the road, wanting this tense ride to be over with, while also dreading that they would actually reach where they were going.

Clearing her mind as best she could, Hari closed her eyes and waited for the carriage to stop.

All was silent and at peace for a moment, just the gentle bouncing of the carriage as it drove over the dirt roads of the countryside. There was nothing to worry about.

Hari imagined that she was taking a fun carriage ride, that there was nothing to worry about. She was with her friends; who was she with? Flashes of people from Hogwarts flew through her mind, but they didn't feel right, none of them felt right.

She then pushed her mind to her new friends, but as she saw the 104th Training Corp and the Scouts in her mind, she began pushing them out too.

Opening her eyes Hari turned her head and saw Annie, she was just sitting down, looking out straight ahead, seeming to be lost in her own thoughts. Hari smiled at her, she was her greatest friend.

A hole dug itself into Hari's chest, making her feel hollow, Friend felt like an odd word to say when describing Annie, but Hari didn't know why.

Hari dug through her mind, trying to find an answer to the hollowness of her chest. She dug and dug, and then she found it, a deep memory, buried under so much pain from that year; fourth year.

Hari had felt this pain once before, she asked them to the Yule Ball, they said they would love to go, it was what best Friends do. But why had that hurt, they were friends, great friends, and they continued to be.

Hari sighed, her memory was good, but constantly being beaten down by Dementors had buried most of her happy memories under the constant repeat of the bad memories; and it left her wondering why the word Friend has caused such hollowness in her chest.

The carriage stopped, and Hari was pushed from her questioning.

They all quietly got out of the carriage and slowly walked to the Reiss's church. Hari pulled a sword from her side, making sure to not make noise when she did so; many of the others that had accompanied them did the same.

They reached the front door, everyone quietly standing outside waiting for anything; Levi approached and kicked the door down in a single kick. Immediately they all poured into the building ready for a fight, only to find an empty room.

"Where are they?" Someone from behind Hari asked.

"They are here somewhere, look around; try to find a hidden door." Levi ordered; immediately everyone began looking, pulling books from shelves moving tables and carpets, stripping the room bare to try and find where Rod could have taken Historia and Eren.

"Here!" Hanji quietly shouted, pointing at a hole in the floor that was once covered be a rug and table.

Levi walked over, and cracked it open, peering in to see if there were any threats. After a moment he opened it all the way revealing a winding staircase down into the earth.

"When we go down there, we don't know what we will be facing, we may have to kill people we care about, we may die down there, we know nothing; are you ready for that?" Levi asked.

"Yes sir." Everyone said quietly.

Levi nodded, and then took the first step down, everyone else soon following. It was a long journey down the staircase; they could only make out the barest outline of the stairs too leaving everyone on edge.

"Stop." Levi said sharply, but still very quietly.

"Pass the barrels up, we're at the door." Levi said, and like he ordered everyone moved the barrels full of smoke powder up to the front of the line, ready to be thrown into wherever they were going.

"On my signal… ready, go!" Levi yelled kicking open the door, with the barrels immediately being thrown out into room the door once hid.

The barrels exploded and they ran out; the room was massive, so large that Hari could not properly see where the ends of the room were. The room was also entirely made of some type of crystal, a crystal that glowed lighting up the whole area.

Pushing the questions she had to the back of her mind Hari jumped off the stairs landing on the floor, deep in the fog where no one had any chance of seeing her.

Looking up she saw everyone else fly overhead ready to engage in battle against the Rouge Military Police, except for Sasha who stayed at the top of the stairs bow in hand, ready to shoot any of the Military Police who tried to escape.

Hari smirked, and bit into her hand.

Her senses spread outward to accommodate the massive increase in mass to her body. She kneeled beneath the smoke, still hidden from everyone, though now she was much closer to the edge of the smoke.

Hari's eyes flew open, her good one seemingly glowing green in the thick smoke, she smiled, mouth stretching wide showing off many teeth and twisting the rest of her face into something quiet terrifying.

Hari crawled across the ground, continuing to keep herself secrete, not quite ready to reveal herself yet. Turning her gaze upward she saw the form of a person flying through the air, she tracked them with her eye waiting to see if they shot bullets or used swords.

She watched until finally two shots came from them, immediately Hari sprang into action, her arm shot out of the fog grabbing the person and pulling them back into the fog, she looked at them again, making sure that it really was an enemy.

Confirming that they were, Hari squeezed her hand tight, crushing their body. She then threw the remains, somehow managing to hit a pillar when she did so.

The crushed body exploded into a mass of gore when it hit the pillar, making every Military Police officer freeze, when they realized that it was one of their own that was now nothing more than past of a wall.

Levi's Squad used their shock and horror to their advantage, taking out several more officers before they regained enough of their bearings to not just sit around.

Now not trying to hide as hard, but still trying to keep her immediate position hidden Hari quickly moved through smoke, with occasional shots in her direction giving Levi's Squad openings.

Hari jumped up onto her feet right in front of several Military Police officers, they all freaked out with most pulling away from her, but some unfortunate crashed into her. Hari quickly grabbed the three that had crashed into her, two pressed together in one hand, and the third completely trapped in her other hand.

Crushing the one Hari threw their mangled corpse hitting another Military Police officer out of the air. Hari flexed her hand preparing to crush the two in her hand when all her scars suddenly glowed, before they all ripped open.

Hari dropped the two Military Police officers in surprise and pain, before her body violently lurched to the side making her crash into and breaking one of the many pillars holding up the massive room.

She twisted in pain, her body bleeding from hundreds of scars ripped open, each one throbbing in agony.

Hari screamed, though in her Titan it came out as a roar of agony. She did not care that she had just alerted Rod to their presence, the pain blocked out any rational. It hurt so bad, far worse that it had when she was human; it was the worst pain she had experienced since coming to this world.

Then it was gone; but the after effect of the pain left her on the ground unable to move, except for the occasional twitch of pain; she was completely paralyzed.

Unable to move she could only watch as Levi's squad took down the rest of the Military Police, the smoke still partly covering her, but almost completely gone. She followed them with her eyes as they went down into a tunnel and then out of sight.

Hari pushed her body to move, or to at least get herself out of her Titan, but she was to worn down to do even that; groaning she let her eye fall half closed, but her eye took it all the way, and she was engulfed in darkness.

/Annie/

Annie watched in shock as Hari suddenly fell, every single one of her many scars bursting open, blood flowing off of her in rivers. She watched as Hari smashed through the pillar, half burying herself under debris, the rocks crushing her lower body, ripping her apart further. She heard her scream of agony, a sound Annie never thought she would hear, and one she never wanted to hear again.

Looking at her friend laying on the floor, her body torn apart; even in her Titan form she looked so vulnerable. The smoke blocked large parts of her from being seen, but even with what was visible, the damage was horrifying, it would take several hours for her body to full reassemble itself.

A sharp pain hit Annie's right leg, pulling her attention from Hari; a good thing to since the next second a bullet flew right where her head was a moment ago. Looking down she saw that her right foot had been blasted off by a gunshot.

She needed to focus on the battle at hand; she couldn't let her mind stray to Hari.

Annie turned sharply to the right, only to immediately spin out of control and crash into the ground, breaking several bones when she did so. The straps of her 3DMGear must have been destroyed when her foot was blasted off by the gunshot; she couldn't fly properly without it.

Pushing herself up to a sitting position Annie concentrated on her foot as she looked at it; willing it to heal faster, while ignoring her other injuries.

The gunfire had stopped, and her foot had finally repaired itself. Hopping to her feet Annie followed Levi's Squad into a tunnel at the end of the massive room. She hesitated at the entrance of the tunnel, turning to look back at Hari for a moment before turning back to the tunnel and entering it.

Hari would be safe in there for now, all the Military Police had retreated into this tunnel, there were no threats to Hari's safety.

She ran to catch up to the rest of Levi's Squad only to quickly stop when she ran right up to a net blocking her from them. They were trapped between two nets, watching as the small forms of Historia and Rod Reiss conversed with Kenny, before Kenny suddenly turned away from them, walking up the crystal stairs to where Eren was chained up.

The room even at a distance looked almost exactly the same as she remembered her own room where she had become the Female Titan. It filled her stomach with dread when she saw it, she had thought that the next time she saw a room like this, she would be the one chained up.

Pushing the existential dread from her mind, Annie pulled out her sword and swung against the net. The sword stopped dead in its tracks, jolting Annie's arm uncomfortably; the rope making this net was not standard rope, Annie didn't even know what it might be.

"Guys, I'm stuck on the other side." Annie called out to them.

"We can't get through the rope to the chamber Eren is in, not for a while at least. Can't you turn into your Titan and break the net apart?" Levi asked.

"I'm injured, why can't Ymir do it?" Annie asked confused as to why she would need to break the nets, when Ymir was right there.

"Historia is too close to Ymir, having Ymir transform and get attacked by the remaining Military Police would evoke an unpredictable reaction from Historia; and we can't risk it being a bad reaction." Levi said glaring at her, before turning around to watch Rod, Historia, Kenny, and Eren.

"Bastard might actually help us for once." Levi suddenly grunted.

Looking at what Levi was talking about Annie saw Eren mouth ungagged and blood pouring down his face, Kenny standing above him. She could not hear what he was saying but whatever it was only seemed to make Rod more desperate for Historia to inject herself with the Titan spinal fluid.

Then a thousand things happened at once.

Historia slapped the syringe of Titan spinal fluid to the floor, Rod Reiss freaked out and tried to attack Historia, making Ymir get angry and turn into her Titan form.

Historia beat her father to the ground and then ran up to Eren, Kenny laughing the whole time while Ymir in her Titan form ripped apart the net to the chamber, leaving Annie still unable to help.

Levi and several others ran to Rod Reiss, only for him to lick the Titan spinal fluid, beginning his transformation into a Titan, which blasted those after him back.

Historia reached where Eren was, and began unlocking the chains holding him to the walls; only for her to be blown back by the heat blasts coming from Rod Reiss. Right before she crashed into the back wall Ymir coughed her in her hand.

Mikasa pushed through the heat waves and reached Eren, and began unlocking him with Jean and Conny helping her.

Annie felt her last rib fuse itself back in one piece and bit into her hand, turning her into a Titan; she ripped through the net; right as she did that the whole place began to shake and fall apart as Rod's Titan continued to grow in size, getting even larger than the Colossal Titan.

An extremely powerful heat wave blew everyone away from him and broke several pillars bringing the roof down.

Annie ran to Hari as the roof began falling, she needed to get her out of here. She turned to look at the entrance only to see it get covered by falling debris.

Annie lunged at Hari, straddling her before she immediately hardened her body, right as the roof fell over them.

/Ymir/

Ymir held Historia in her hands, pressing her against her chest, so happy to be holding her again. Turning her gaze away from her hands Ymir looked across Eren's creation, a massive interconnected maze of hardened Titan flesh; and in the center of this beautiful maze stood a massive crystal version of Eren's Titan.

She turned back to Historia who was still trapped in her grasp, ignoring the absence of Hari and Annie as best she could.

"Ymir let me go." Historia finally yelled from her hands.

"No." Ymir grunted from her Titan form.

"Why not?" Historia yelled again, her voice muffled by Ymir's hands.

"Haven't held you, in a while." Ymir said struggling to speak in her Titan form, but unwilling to get out of it and let go of Historia.

"We need to stop my father! He could hurt someone while he is a Titan!" Historia yelled again struggling in Ymir's hands with newfound vigor, while trying to convince Ymir into action.

"Can't." Was all Ymir responded with.

"Why not?" Historia challenged.

"Buried underground, I can't dig out." Ymir said turning away from her hands to the caved in ceiling, further emphasizing to herself that she could not dig them out.

"Eren can." Historia said.

"Too tired, used hardening ability." Ymir responded.

"What about Hari and Annie, they aren't as strong as Eren but they can still dig us out." Historia said.

Ymir remained silent, once again turning her head away from her hands to look in the general direction of where they had entered this room from, an area now buried, Hari and Annie under it all.

"Ymir?" Historia asked after she did not respond.

"They… aren't here." Ymir finally said, breaking from her Titan form.

"What do you mean that 'they aren't here' where are they?" Historia asked pulling herself from Ymir's disintegrating fingers.

Ymir just looked straight ahead again, to where she assumed their bodies were buried, only turning when she felt a tear run down her face.

She quickly rubbed it off, and turned away not wanting to look in that direction ever again, but Historia had obviously seen enough to get the massage.

A quiet "no" was all that came out of Historia's mouth.

Ymir remained silent as Historia walked up to the rubble that trapped them, watching as she gently set her hand on it, quiet apologies flying from her mouth in rapid pace.

"She told me to go for it, and I did. I wish she was here to watch that ripen." Ymir said confusion Historia.

"What?" Historia asked.

"Hari, she bullied me into actually making a move on you." Ymir said smiling at the memory.

"Really?" Historia asked, still looking at the rubble that covered the area Annie and Hari were now buried.

"Hari was always doing something stupid; it's hard to believe that at one point she actually chose the Garrison over the Survey Corp." Ymir said reminiscing.

"Going after me was stupid?" Historia asked.

"What! No, no, no. Her ideas were stupid they always worked out, I'm not-

"I'm teasing you." Historia said smirking.

"She was only in the Garrison for like a week though." Historia pointed out absently,

"Then she 'died'. She seems to do that a lot." Historia continued, much more somber than before.

"Could she have lived? She's survived impossible odds before maybe-

"Historia, even as a Titan Shifter no one would survive being buried under that much rubble, even us with Eren's hardening ability got off easy; Rod exited here, there is a lot less rock burying us than them." Ymir said, stopping Historia from believing in false hope.

"They couldn't survive just in Titan form? You guys are rather immortal." Historia asked hope lingering in her voice.

"They would not survive that, even if they could, it would probably be better for them if they died." Ymir said.

Historia remained silent after that last comment, and Ymir feared that she may have been too harsh in her assessment, but before she could do anything to rectify what she had said a large part of the ceiling collapsed allowing moonlight to pore into where they were.

"That Titan is on the move, hurry up." Erwin said as he slowly lowered himself into the hole.

"How did you find us?" Levi asked.

"Small parts of the hardening ability slithered up between the rocks burying you, allowing us to find you." Erwin explained as he set foot in the cave Eren made.

"So Eren learned the hardening ability." Erwin said looking up at the hardened version of Eren's Titan in the room.

"Let's get moving, we need to stop that Titan." Erwin said as he began pulling himself up again.

"That Titan is Rod Reiss." Levi said glaring at the commander.

"We will stop it anyways." Erwin replied, before exiting through the hole in the roof.

Levi followed right behind him and soon everyone was exiting the cave that Eren had made. Ymir shot her 3DMGear to the top of the hole Erwin came from and began pulling herself up.

She stopped right before exiting the chamber turning to look in the general direction of Hari and Annie.

"I'm sorry." Ymir said quietly as she left.

/Reiner/

"She's using magic!" Reiner yelled in shock.

"Something must be happening, I need to go and find out." The Sorcerer said jumping to their feet.

"You will not." Zeke said suddenly from behind them, making Reiner jump in surprise, and a tiny flinch escape the Sorcerer.

"Why not?" The Sorcerer challenged, as they turned to face Zeke.

"You would help our enemy, I cannot allow that." Zeke said coldly.

"It's your enemy, not mine; and I am going to go to her rather you like it or-

A screech filled the air, a horrid screech, one that sent a shiver down your spine. Everyone flinched except for the Sorcerer. But the Sorcerer stiffened, and Reiner was sure that if he could see their eyes they would be wide with horror.

"No, no, no, no, no!" The Sorcerer yelled running to the edge of the Wall and hopping off, teleporting to the ground before they built up too much momentum.

Reiner followed, as close behind as he could, Zeke not knowing how to use 3DMGear stayed behind trying to find an alternate way down, that didn't involve his Titan form.

Reiner landed and watched as the Sorcerer ran into the abandoned home that they had been living in. Reiner quickly entered following them, ignoring the sharp pain that came from the magic the Sorcerer had set in place to protect the building from being invaded.

He burst into the bedroom and saw the Sorcerer sitting on the bed staring at a small gizmo that seemed to be the sores of the screeching. They stared at it in horror, something must be very wrong for it to be doing that.

"What, is that?" Reiner asked slowly.

"It's another monitor for Hari, though its goal isn't to track her." The Sorcerer said, sounding genuinely pained to be speaking about it.

"What does it monitor?" Reiner asked cautiously.

"If it's screeching like it is now, it means that Hari's heart… stopped." The Sorcerer said the last part so quietly that Reiner was barely able to hear it, especially with the screeching.

The screeching suddenly stopped.

"Did you turn it off?" Reiner asked, already knowing that the answer was yes.

"That idiot." The Sorcerer mumbled.

"How many times are you going to die Hari! Why do you always do this, do you know how many times you scared everyone?" The Sorcerer yelled to the sky.

"First you run off without telling anyone, everyone is looking for you and then He says he killed you, bringing back your body and everything. Then you disappear immediately after and are called dead, only for me to learn a decade later that you have been alive this whole time transported off to another world after spending years in Azkaban! Now you die again! Will you ever stop?" The Sorcerer yelled into the air, anger, sorrow, grief, rage, and a whole slew of other emotions coming from their normally composed voice.

Reiner remained silent as he stared at the Sorcerer, unsure of what to do.

"Get, out, now." The Sorcerer said their voice deadly calm.
