The truth is out. Eren gains memories when he touches Historia. They go to see the ocean, but Eren is not satisfied.


Eren was nude, looking out the window after sleeping with his girlfriends. But, then, hands appeared on him and he looked to see Mikasa and Historia smiling at him.

"Come to bed," Mikasa said.

"We want to tell you something," Historia said. "It's important."

Eren smiled. "Okay," he said.

They walked to the bed and sat down on it. "So," Eren said, "what is it that you both want to tell me?"

Mikasa and Historia smiled at each other. They looked at Eren. "Eren," Mikasa said, "Historia and I, want to have a baby."

Eren's eyes widened. "W-What?"

"We're serious, Eren," Historia said. "we want to have a child."

Eren was silent. "Eren," Mikasa said, "are you okay?"

Eren sighed. "How can we raise our child in this cruel world?"

Historia kissed him. "We'll do it together," she said.

"Yeah," Mikasa said, "and we will be with you all the way, no matter what."

Eren smiled. Mikasa and Historia rubbed each other and Mikasa exploded. Eren started banging Historia and exploded. They all kissed and slept together, nude.

Later, Eren, Mikasa and the others were waiting to get their rewards.

"So," Reiner said, "what's our next move?"

"I don't know," Armin said. "I didn't think we would get this far."

"Our enemy is a serious threat to us," Annie said. "If we don't do something, all hell will break loose."

"Hold on," Bertholdt said. "this is Marley we're talking about."

"Can we just send them a peace letter or something?" Sasha asked.

"Come on, Sasha," Ymir said. "do you really think those devils on Marley are gonna accept a peace letter just like that?"

"Well, what else can we do?" she asked.

"Good question," Jean said. "maybe we can visit Marley and talk to them."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea," Marco said. "but, will they listen to us?"

"Marley sees us as their enemy," Connie said. "so, why would they listen to us?"

"He does have point," Marlowe said. "to them, we're just devils."

"But, we're not devils," Hitch said. "we're just human beings."

"Marley doesn't see it that way," Floch said. "maybe we should fight them."

"Calm down," Carla said. "Marley has not made a move yet, so, we don't need to go to their country and start a war."

"But what if they do? Then what? Do we have a future, at this point? Mikasa asked.

"Guys," Eren said, "I don't know what decision we should make. I don't know if the decision will be a right one. No one knows what the future may bring us. But, there is one thing we should see."

Armin's eyes widened. "The sea?"

"Yeah," Eren said, "the sea. That's what we've been wanting to see. Beyond the sea, there is..." Faye's dead body came into his head. Eren was silent.

"Eren?" Mikasa said.

"Hey," Levi said, "It's time to get our medals."

Eren, Mikasa and the others walked up to nude Historia and she started giving them the medals.

What was in the basement? Eren thought. Was it hope or despair? Our enemy is greater than we ever imagined. If we do nothing to change things, tragedy will befall us again and again. I would give up my life just so that the people I care about can continue living. But, I would never sacrifice Historia. What should I do? What can anyone do?

Historia walked up to Mikasa and gave her the medal. She put her hand on Mikasa's head and moved her to her lady area. Mikasa kissed it. Historia walked up to Eren and gave him the medal. She put her hand on his head and moved him to her lady area. He kissed it and the memories came to him.

Grisha walked up to Frieda and her family. "I'm an Eldian who came from outside the walls! I'm a Subject of Ymir just like all of you! King of the walls! Please, you have to kill the Titans attacking the walls! Before my wife, my children and the people of the walls get eaten!"

Frieda was silent. She closed her eyes. She opened them and her eyes appeared purple. Grisha gritted his teeth and glared at her. Everyone looked at Eren.

"Eren?" Historia said. Her eyes widened. Eren's eyes were wide open and he gritted his teeth.

Later, Sasha was alone in the lunch room. The thought of losing Reiner and Bertholdt made her stomach ache. Tears fell from her eyes. She lay her head down on the table and cried. If Reiner and Bertholdt didn't had Titan powers, she would've been fine. But, that isn't the case. Sasha's eyes widened. She looked to see Reiner and Bertholdt with their hands on her shoulders. She hugged them both tightly and cried. They hugged her back tightly.

"Reiner," Sasha said, "Bertholdt...I love you both. I can't lose you guys. I can't."

"It's okay, Sasha," Reiner said. "It's okay."

"No, it's not," she said. "you guys are cursed."

"But we're still here," Bertholdt said. "that's all that matters."

"What are we gonna do?" Sasha asked.

"Don't worry, Sasha," Reiner said. "everything will be fine."

"We'll always be with you," Bertholdt said. "always."

Later, Armin was nude in his room, looking out the window. The thought of losing Annie ate him up, like a Titan eating a human. He smiled at the memory of him and Annie becoming a couple back then. At that time, he didn't know that she was the Female Titan. If Annie didn't had Titan powers, he would've been fine. But, that isn't the case. Suddenly, hands appeared on him and he looked to see nude Annie smiling at him.

"Are you okay?" Annie asked.

Armin lowered his head. "No," he said. "not really."

She led him to the bed and they sat down on it. "What's on your mind?"

Armin sighed. "When I think about it, you have a timer on you. The same goes for Eren, Reiner, Bertholdt and Ymir. And when that timer counts down to zero..."

Annie silenced Armin by putting her finger on his lips. "I know."

"I can't lose you, Annie. I can't."

"Don't worry about the curse, Armin. I'm still here and that's all that matters." She kissed him.

He kissed her back. "I love you, Annie."

"I love you too, Armin."

Later, Carla was at Shiganshina in her house, looking out the window. Birds were flying in the sky, children were playing around with the other kids and dogs were playing around with the other dogs. Everything was fine at first. But the thought of Eren only having eight years to live and Grisha now gone, killed her inside. Tears fell from her eyes. She got on her knees and cried. If Eren didn't had Titan powers, she would've been fine. But, that isn't the case. The sound of the door opening scared her. She turned to see Rico coming inside and closing the door. They both looked at each other.

"Hey," Rico said, "are you okay?"

Carla wiped away her tears. "I'm fine," she said. "don't worry about me."

"You don't look fine."

"Well, It's not like my husband is dead and my son has eight years of his life left."

Rico walked up to her. Carla cried. Rico hugged her tightly. Carla hugged back tightly.

"It's okay, Carla."

"No, it's not, Rico. My husband is gone. In eight years my son will..."

"Shh. He is still here and that's all that matters. The best you can do is not let the eight years go to waste."

"I can't lose him."

"I know."

They looked at each other. Rico wiped Carla's tears away. They kissed.

"I am going to do my best to take care of you and your son. That's something your husband would want."

"I love you, Rico."

"I love you too, Carla."

Later, Ymir was in her room, lying down on her bed with her arms behind her head. She thought about the Curse of Ymir and wondered how many years she has left. Time flies by so quick, she didn't noticed it. She would've been fine if she didn't had Titan powers. But, that wasn't the case for her. Could the Curse of Ymir be broken? If so, how? That's a good question, but no one knows the answer to it. She got up and walked to the door, opened it and walked outside. She closed the door and went for a walk in the city. She looked back on her days when the Marleyans came and punished her. How different things would be if that never happened to her? Would she be where she is today? Would she have met Eren and the others? Would she have met Historia? The voice of a girl stopped her.

"Three red apples please," she said.

She looked to see her buying food from a marketplace. She wears a white shirt and long grey pants. The man gave her a bag of red apples and she paid him.

"Thank you," she said.

"No problem," the man said.

"Historia," Ymir said.

She looked at Ymir. "Ymir," she said, "What brings you here?"

"I'm just going for a walk. That's all."

"Oh. Okay."

"So, what's with the apples?"

"They're for me, Eren and Mikasa."

"Oh, okay."

"I'm gonna head back to the castle, now."

"Is that so? Mind if I walk you back home, my lady? It would suck if something happened to you."

Historia giggled. "Sure."

"Alright, let's go."

Ymir and Historia began making their way to the castle. "So, how are you feeling, Ymir?"

"I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"So, you're not worried about the Curse of Ymir?"

"It's not worth driving myself crazy over it."

"Oh. Okay, then."

"What about you, blondie? How do you feel about your lover boy only having eight years to live?"

Historia was silent. Tears fell from her eyes. She wiped them away. "Horrible."

"I see. Well, you better make those eight years worth it. It would suck to let those years go to waste."

"I don't want to lose him."

"I know."

"Do you think, there is a way to break this curse?"

"I wish I knew the answer Historia. But, I don't know if there is way to break it. But if there is a way, then the question is, how do we break it?"

"That's a good question. I wish we knew the answer to it."

"Yeah. Same here."

They made it to the castle. "Well, this is it."

"Thanks, Ymir."

"No problem."

"Bye."

"Wait, Historia."

"What?"

"Promise me, something."

"Okay."

Ymir put her hands on Historia's shoulders and looked at her in the eye. "Promise me, you'll live a life you're proud of."

Historia smiled. "I promise."

Ymir smiled. "Good." she removed her hands off of Historia's shoulders. "Peace out, my lady."

Historia giggled. "Bye."

Ymir waved at her. Historia waved back. Ymir turned around and walked away. Historia walked back to her room.

Weeks later, the Scouts once again resumed expeditions past Wall Maria. "It's just like what you thought, Hanji," Levi said. "the Titans inside Wall Maria were pretty much all of them. We thinned out the majority in just a single year."

"In that case," she said. "let's head straight to our target as planned."

"Right," Petra said.

"Scouts," Erwin said, "keep going!"

Eren and his friends rode on their horses. The sun was shining bright in the sky and the birds flew in the sky. Everything was fine at first. But, then, a red smoke was shot in the air.

"A titan!" Jean said.

"One showed up, huh? Be careful!" Connie said.

"Right!" Marco said.

Everyone stopped. "Right there," Sasha said.

A Titan was on the ground. "It's not able to move?" Reiner asked.

"With a body like that," Bertholdt said. "maybe it tried to crawl to the wall, little by little?"

Eren walked up to the Titan and put his hand on it. "H-Hey!" Floch said.

"It was shipped to paradise," Eren said. "It's a fellow patriot. Let's go. We're close."

Eren rode his horse and everyone followed him. "Hey! Is it okay to leave it here? Shouldn't we kill it?" Floch said. He got on his horse. "Crap!" He followed the others.

Finally, after riding on their horses for a while, they made it to the ocean. "This is paradise," Eren said. "and there is the ocean."

Everyone was speechless when they looked at the blue ocean water. They got out of their horses and walked to the ocean. Armin was silent. The water moved through his legs and a shell was was on the ground. Sasha was bottomless, splashing water on Reiner and Bertholdt. Jean sipped the water and spit it out. Marco and Connie splashed water on each other. Ymir was lying down on the sand with her arms behind her head. Carla and Rico sat down close to each other and kissed. Armin picked up the shell and looked at it. Annie walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Whoa!" Mikasa said.

"Watch out!" Historia said.

The water scared both of them. Armin and Annie looked at them. Mikasa and Historia smiled at them. Armin and Annie smiled back at them.

"Wow! This is amazing! So, this is what the ocean is like, huh?" Hanji said.

"Incredible," Erwin said. "just incredible."

"Be careful, guys," Levi said. "the water could be poisonous."

"Calm down, Levi," Petra said. "It can't be that bad."

"It's just water," Moblit said. "what harm could it do?"

"Well, it can make you wet," Mike said. "so, I would be careful if I were you."

Seeing everyone enjoying the ocean made Eren smiled. But, he couldn't ignore the feeling inside of him. He looked beyond the ocean as the water moved through his legs.

"Eren," Armin said, "It's amazing isn't it? This is what we've been dreaming of, right?"

"Yeah," Eren said, "right."

Armin looked at the shell in his hands. "This is just like in the book I showed you," he said. "most of the world is covered with salty water so deep, you can't reach the bottom."

"We did it," Annie said. "we really did it. We made it to the sea."

"Yeah," Mikasa said, "we did."

"So, it's over, right? We can live in peace now?" Historia asked.

"No," Eren said, "It's not over, yet. On the other side of the wall, there's a sea. On the other side of the sea, is freedom. That's what I always believed. But I was wrong. On the other side of the sea...are people who want us dead. Every part of this is exactly how I saw in my dad's memories."

Eren, Mikasa and Historia looked beyond the sea. "Hey," Eren said, "If we go over there and make peace with them...will we finally be free?"

To be continued...
