Struggle, this was going on in Reiner's head as he tried to grab the worm.
"you are not going anywhere," he thought as he continued grabbing it while trying to stop pure titans to eat him.
Suddenly surroundings changes as he finds himself on the wall rose.
"what," he thought as he hears footsteps.
He turns to see someone coming.
"no, it can be. You."
"Hello, Reiner," Eren says as he comes before him. He looked younger in age. "I want to talk with you"
"what"
"do you remember this day"
He looks around to realize that it was the day when he confessed that he was the armoured titan.
"what do you want?"
"leave everything, stop opposing me. Let the rumbling be complete." He comes to a step closer, "what will it take?"
"you are trying to bribe me?"
"yes."
"no, I won't stop."
"fine then, your cousin will die."
"what."
"I will win no matter what, once the fort is destroyed, I will crush every pure titan. She will die."
Reiner watches him with horror. "no you can't."
"I trampled the earth, killed millions, this will cause no difference."
Reiners take a step back. "no please."
"then betray everyone, must not be difficult for you." He looks around, "you once did and broke our hearts."
"How will you save her?"
"pure titans once created cant be reverted. You will have to have to let her inherit the armour. Once done I will encase her in the crystal. Once my work is done I will take her along with that boy to paradise. I will remove the curse, they will live long and happy lives. What you decide." he takes a few steps forward," either fight and see her dead or run away and see her happy forever?"
Reiner sits on the ground with his hand over his head as he tries to process everything.
"Take your time."
"he is right, we will lose anyway, at least she will live. right." He thought.
"fine, I will do it. but you will have to save them both."
"I promise. thank you, Reiner." Eren smiles as he helps Reiner stand. "you are a really good brother."
Suddenly he comes back to reality as the worm tries to break free.
Suddenly he let it go as he turns to see gabi's pure titan looking at him.
He grabs her by her hand as he starts to run away from the worm. Other titans make way from him. After running some distance, he looks back as Annie's titan fell as a titan chews something while Pieck gets shoved off, and Armin's colossal titan starts to fall.
He comes out as the titan come closer to grab him.
"gabi promise me, you will live a good life. Without any regrets or guilt."
He smiles as she bites him. killing him.
"aaaaah," she screams as she wakes up.
"What happened," Falco says as he got up. She suddenly hugged him as she started crying.
"what happened gabi." He said wrapping her with his arms.
"i-I killed him. He-he.." she suddenly snaps out as anger fills her face. "where is he, that trickster, devil, bastard." She screamed.
"I guess that memory was not pleasant," Eren says sitting opposite to them. his eyes and voice are devoid of any emotions. " Now you may regret trans.." he suddenly cuts out as gabi punches him.
"I will kill you. You blackmailed my brother to give up."
"gabi stop.," Falco says as he tries to stop her.
"getaway!" she pushes him hard on the ground as she punches eren again.
"aah"
she suddenly turns to see Falco lying on the ground with his head banged against a rock as blood comes out.
"no" she screams as she rushes towards him. "I-I am sorry. Please say something."
"I am fine." He says as steam starts to come out from the wound. "I will heal.", he touches the back of his head, looking at his bloodstain fingers, "just stop acting mad please."
Blood starts to stain his red scarf.
Half an hour later.
Gabi sits next to Falco with her hands on his head as the wound heals completely.
"Are you fine?" she says.
"yes, I am fine." He says.
She then looks at eren as he gazes down.
"you," she says with disgust "what you did with others."
"you don't want to know." He says.
"I do want to know"
"I SAID YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW"
"I WANT TO KNOW. TELL ME. YOU DEVIL." She screams harder.
He back off as he lowered his gaze again.
"w-what you want to see. H-how I killed everyone."
"yes, we deserve it."
"no please." Tears come from his eyes as he started breaking down. "please don't make me relive those cursed moments."
She smiles, enjoying the person who caused so much pain to her in pain himself. Begging to her.
"yes, I want to see how my parents and friend died." She suddenly turns to Falco. "don't you want to?"
Eren looks at him with pleading eyes.
"i.." he suddenly looks at gabi who was giving a stern look. "I want to see also." He too wanted to know what happened with everyone.
His heart broke on listening to this. He remains silent for few moments before he wipes his tears.
"ok, you want to see it. I will show you." He says with a shaking voice. "j-just hold my hands."
They both hold either hand as suddenly current flows through them.
