Now what is your wish?
All the cadets were with their maneuvering teams in front of them and a couple of soldiers were checking them.
Soldier: * reads a piece of paper * When was the last time you used your equipment?
Sasha: 6 days ago, after a mission to seal the wall.
Welded: * notes in a list * It matches what it says.
Soldier: well, next, you.
Krysta: Krysta Enz, from Division 42.
Soldier: When did I use it?
Cadet: I never thought I would be punished for killing Titans
Cadet 2: It is a strange situation but it is necessary.
Cadet: * a little annoyed * still ... Why are the royal troops looking for the culprit?
Cadet 2: yes, here you have the freedom to be investigated by someone from outside.
Connie: * tells Armin * though you can't blame the culprits for hating the Titans.
Armin: yes ... But it is as if they had given a hand to the Titans, I understand that it could have been a desire for revenge, but this is a great loss for humanity.
Connie: I'm an idiot so I guess I get it. Before seeing the Titans, I really wanted to enter the recon legion, but now I don't want to see them again. I feel like I have no choice but to join the recon legion * turns to his left and sees Jean, who seemed furious as he squeezed his hand * (Jean ... really ...)
Flashback night before
The surviving cadets were around a large bonfire where the bodies of the deceased were burned.
Connie cried from helplessness and Jean just looked at him with sorrow, or with ... Sadness? ... He also lost his friend, what should he feel?
Jean: (guys, sorry, if I had known it was hell, I wouldn't have chosen to be a soldier) * looked at his other friends, Krysta lowered her head and Sasha was with her eyes closed * (Those who survived so far only have in the head) * he approaches and takes one of the many pieces of bones that are scattered on the floor * Hey Marco, it seems that not even your bones disappeared * he remembers the corpse of his friend impaled on a wall, split in half * (If you hadn't been a soldier, you could be doing something useful now * remember what Eren said the day before the mission * I understand, we have no choice but to fight, But ... there is no one stupid enough to accept death) * sees an illusion of his friend *
Marco: I hope you don't get mad, but you are not a strong person Jean, that's why you understand the feeling of the weak. And with this in mind, you can make better decisions on the battlefield. What do we do now? You must understand it if you think about it.
Jean: * frowns, clenches his fist and stands up * (now, what should I do?) Hey, you ... * talking to Krysta, Ymir and Sasha * Have you decided which troop you will join? I already decided ... I ... * holds the piece of bone in his hand and takes it to his chest, looking like he's going to cry * I'll go to the reconnaissance legion. * Starts to cry *
End of flashback
Connie: (shit) hey Annie, what do you think? Even Jean fixed that she will join the Legion of Reconnaissance.
Armin: J-jean?
Annie: I don't care.
Connie: you will join the military police right? Maybe it would be nice to go to the same place.
Annie: You know ... If someone said to die, would you die?
Connie: What question is that? Of course not.
Annie: Armin, what about you?
Armin: huh? I ... I already made a promise, a promise that I will not break, from the beginning I came here to join the recognition legion, together with my brother, Mikasa and Eren, from the age of 11 we promised to join the recognition legion, so I'm not going to retire.
Annie: what a nice promise, don't fail them.
Armin: T-thank you. You know Annie, you really are very nice.
Annie: Huh?
Armin: after all ... it's like you're telling me: "keep your promise". Is there any reason not to join the recognition legion?
Annie: It's just ... the desire to save myself.
With Eren
They were in the Recon Legion Headquarters waiting for the Elite.
Günther: In the end we didn't find the soldier who used the equipment, who the hell was it?
Erd: Who knows? It is a concern for the military police. How are the new entrants doing?
Günther: * remembers when he wanted to rape Izuku * Hey guys! Are there any of your generation who want to join the Legion of Recognition?
E and I: yes!
Eren: no-
Izuku: My brother Armin and Eren's sister will team up, we promised. It seems more of our friends will join, I'm sure.
Günther: It's the captain! * They stand in front of Captain Levi's horse *
Levi: get everything ready, we're going.
E and I: * arrive * Good morning Captain Levi!
Levi: listen up both of you, don't delay. And above all events, do not forget that you owe me gratitude.
E and I: Yes!
Levi: Come on * retires on his horse *
He guides them to their training zone.
With Connie.
They were all leaning against a wall.
Armin: Jean! Are you seriously going into the recon legion?
Jean: yes.
Sasha: Why so suddenly? That's ... Aren't you scared?
Jean: Eh? Isn't it obvious that I'm scared?
Connie: * was sitting on the floor * so why?
Jean: It's not because I'm not afraid of the Titans, it's because I decided to.
Connie: Huh?
Jean: on the other hand ... Being good is another reason to join the legion. I don't need another reason. I am different from that suicide bomber and that hero.
Connie: They ... joined the legion without even thinking about it.
Soldier: Cadets! Get into position ! * everyone starts to move * Everyone line up where you were ordered!
Jean: I ... I have no intention of leaving my life in someone's hands. I don't think there is a job that only I can do.
Krysta: do you know where Eren is?
Ymir: * jealous * why do you want to know?
Krysta: * blushes but no one notices * just tell me!
Armin: is in the headquarters of the recon legion, since he is already a member of the legion like Izuku.
Krysta: Thank you very much Armin * giving a radiant smile *
Jean: * feeling the sun on her face * (shit is so bright)
His friends start walking to their positions.
Later.
They were all in front of a stage.
Erwin: I am the commander of the recon legion. Erwin Smith, the one who will be in charge of your admission, what I am going to say will be the objective of the recognition legion. With the last attack of the Titans, you must already be afraid of them I suppose, and you must also know your limits. But ... in this battle humanity won in a way never before experienced. Thanks to the existence of Eren Jeager and Izuku Arlert. They are undoubtedly our allies and now they are betting their lives to prove it. Also, with them, humility has 2 great weapons against the Titans. We found something capable of revealing the true form of the Titans! * This surprises all cadets * In the basement of Eren Jeager's old house, there are secrets about the Titans that neither he nor his sister know. And if we can go to his house, we ... After these 100 years of fighting with the Titans, we have a useful base for our counterattack * this again surprises everyone *
Rainer: In the basement?
Berthold: Is there really something?
Armin: (no matter how many soldiers I gather, risking everything on this plan is ... or all the time ... Is there another reason? What the hell is the commander looking for?
Erwin: We have to get to that basement, but for that, it is necessary for us to walk a path through the wall Maria. In short, the objective will be the same as always. * Mike and Petra bring a piece of cloth with the map of the route * for now the Trost gate is unusable, so we have no choice but to go from the Caranes gate. Using the unit created with 4 years of survival, we are going to bet everything. In 4 years, countless troops from the Reconnaissance Legion died, no small number compared to time. Great soldiers lost their lives. In the next expedition we will need the help of the new members, but the probability of survival is 35%. There will be more deaths than these 4 years. However, those who survive will become great and incomparable soldiers. For this plan, there must be those who believe in the need to give their lives, brandishing their swords, ask yourselves, what are you going to do for humanity? Can you really offer your hearts to humanity !? That's all, the soldiers who don't want to submit to this, stand down.
Soldier: Commander, didn't you say too much? No one is going to join.
After that the vast majority of cadets withdrew.
Sasha, Jean, and Connie looked at this in bewilderment.
Armin and Mikasa were still in place since a promise must not be broken.
Jean: (Damn! Come on, you decided! Don't make me hate myself more now!
Sasha: (if I don't go now, I'll go again ...)
Connie :( At first I left my town to join the recognition legion, my mother will be glad if I join the legion ... everyone in my town will support me.
Jean: (we already know, we already feel it for ourselves ...)
Sasha: * closing eyes in fear * (Like the Titans ...)
Connie: (they eat humans ...)
Jean: Aaaaaaaaaaah !
After a couple of minutes there were only 20 cadets left.
Erwin: If I asked them to die, would they die?
Soldier: We are not going to die !
Erwin: * smiles * I understand. All of you have strong wills. Right now, all who are present, are members of the Legion of Reconnaissance ! From now on, we are going to go to the truth part! Offer your hearts! * Makes the salute together with all the new members of the legion *
All: Yes!
Armin: guys ...
Jean: I'm not going to die, even if I'm in the recon legion.
Sasha: I'm so scared that I even feel pain.
Connie: I understand * takes her hand to calm down * we will all survive.
Krysta: * she was scared but had only one goal in mind, to be as strong and determined as Eren *
Erwin: You endured fear well. You are exemplary soldiers, I accept your hearts * he said looking seriously at the soldiers *
A few days later
Soldier: Attention! * New members salute * I am your team leader, Ness, this is my partner * stroking the horse's face * Sharret. He has a rare attraction to clothing, so be careful around him. It's a pleasure to meet you * the horse grabs the headband * O-hey * tried to get away from the horse * i-idiot, drop that! Sharret!
Armin narrates.
Admitted recruits, as directed by Commander Erwin, must first learn the training for the expedition. Although a bit strange according to the situation, it seemed that Eren Jeager and Izuku Arlert had no function.
Soldier: * points to the first group in the middle layer on the right * You recruits will be here. Intermediate of the central unit and the training unit. The headquarters is where the equipment and supplies are.
Elsewhere
Günther: * was with the elite squad * we will be executing a special plan. Rearguard of the central unit.
Levi: * stroked a horse *
Eren: Is it the inside right?
Günther: * points to the penultimate group from the center down * This is the safest unit in the formation, even safer than the unit where the supplies are. * Everyone was looking at this plan * well, this time the goal is simply to come and go . Due to wear and tear we can't take too long either. And we are not in a position to use them either * refers to Eren and Izuku *
Izuku: I ... anytime someone is about to die, I will use my powers.
Günther: you can use your gift, but not your titan powers, not you either Eren.
Eren: this ..., He asked me if I can continue like this ... I don't even know what to do ...
Günther: Do you understand the meaning of the question the commander asked at that time?
Eren: Did you get it Izuku?
Izuku: something like that.
Petra: What do you mean something like that?
Izuku: there is someone, well several people who don't want us to know something about the Titans, they want to avoid something, but I still can't figure out that "what".
Eren: that makes sense.
Günther: did you understand the plan?
I and E: yes.
Levi: Izuku, go a minute.
Izuku * is heading towards Levi * yes captain?
Levi: when I say attack, you transform, but if I don't say that, don't transform, understand?
Izuku: yes captain!
Later.
Izuku was in the barn in the yard finishing feeding the horses and when he comes out, he sees his friends.
Izuku: Mikasa, Lord Auruo, could I speak to my companions for a moment?
Auruo: go boy ...
Izuku: * runs to his friends * Mikasa! Armin ! * the aforementioned turn *
Armin: * just smiles *
Mikasa: Izuku! * Runs towards him to hug him *
Izuku: * gets the hug * it's good to see you guys.
Mikasa: izuku, what about Eren, haven't bad things happened to them? Like they try to investigate your body ... Or they try to test your physical limits.
Izuku: they didn't do any of that Mika * pats his head *
Mikasa * remembers the beating they gave Eren and Izuku * That brat was thinking too much. Someday I'll make him pay.
Izuku: that someone, is Captain Levi.
Connie: * turns * Hi izuku.
Krysta: How long!
Izuku: they're all here!
Eren: Guys !
Mikasa: Eren ! * greets her brother *
All: Hi Eren!
Eren: everyone is here ... does that mean they joined the legion?
Connie: is there any other reason to be here?
They kept talking but Mikasa is led by Izuku's hand.
Izuku: I need to talk to you Mikasa * pulls her behind a column *
Mikasa: about what- * is silenced by a kiss from Izuku *
That kiss said: "I missed you too much" and Mikasa did nothing more than reciprocate.
I spend a long 1 minute like this until they parted for lack of air.
Izuku: I missed you too Mika.
Mikasa: me too izu * looks at his eyes and kisses him again wrapping his arms around his neck and grabbing his waist *
So they spent 2 minutes going up little by little
Izuku: * grabs Mikasa's butt *
Mikasa: mmh! * Moans but cannot be heard *
Izuku lifts his leg up and puts it on Mikasa's crotch, rubbing it.
Mikasa: mmgh ~ mmmgh ~ * she didn't want to separate from Izuku's lips *
After 2 minutes, someone interrupted them.
Armin: Mikasa! Izuku!
Those 2 minutes before.
Eren: * Jean stands in front of him * You too?
Jean: Marco died.
Eren: What did you say? ... Did you say that Marco died?
Jean: It seems that no one saw when or how it happened. No one knows what kind of order he received. He died without even being seen by anyone.
Eren: Marco ... * everyone looked sad.
Soldier: Hey fledglings, get together! The uniforms are here!
Armin: I'm going to find the boys.
And we come to the present.
Izuku: W-what's wrong A-armin?
Armin: Where is Mikasa?
Izuku: it's here * pulls Mikasa who was very blushing *
Armin: There you are Mikasa, let's go, boss Ness calls us * he leaves and Mikasa follows them *
They all arrive and one by one they put on that cape that represents that from now on they are no longer cadets, since they will become soldiers of the reconnaissance legion.
And Eren imagined his friend Marco with that cape.
Later in the warehouse.
Eren: will the rest also participate in the plan?
Mikasa: yes
Jean: Hey Eren when you transformed it looks like you tried to kill Mikasa and attack Izuku, how do you contradict that?
Eren: I just reacted, I didn't have control of my titan, unlike Izuku who controlled it, he barely transformed, I still don't understand it.
Jean: So Izuku has 2 powers ...
Izuku: * comes out behind a column * yes, I have 2, the titan one I don't know how the hell I got it, I was jumping from house to house and when Eren screamed, I fell, I started to vomit blood, a green ray fell on me, and ... transform me.
Jean: and you didn't do anything?
Izuku: nothing, then I had to convince them what I was.
Jean: and that wound that Mikasa has? What is that? When did you get it? * She covers it *
Eren: according to what they told me, I tried to hit my face, on which Mikasa was hanging, but izuku reacted before and took Mikasa and hit me.
Mikasa: then he put me on top of a house.
Izuku: * remembers this a little angry * almost attacked her, he wouldn't allow that.
Jean: as they told you? So you don't remember anything? So far he has no knowledge of your Titan power. On the other hand, that proves that you do not know how to control it.
Eren: yes, exactly.
Jean: * sighs and turns around and says to his friends * Did you hear? That's the truth. Humanity is in their hands 2, and only one can save it. What if he fails, what will happen? We will die just like Marco, without Eren knowing it.
Mikasa: What do you want to get at by pressuring Eren and Izuku like this?
Jean: you know Mikasa ... it's not like the world cares about dying for Izuku or Eren like you * Mikasa frowns * I just clarify things! We will decide why we will give our lives. Believe it or not, I doubt that we can act without hesitation at a time like this. We will not only have them 2, we will let them take our lives. Life is not so trivial * is close to 2 * That's why! We really ... we are counting on you!
E and I: y-yeah!
Puerta de Caranes / two weeks later.
Soldier: Commander It's time!
Soldier 2: we might meet Titans, the door opens in 30 seconds!
Izuku saw some children looking at them through the window and remembered 2 children.
I remember:
Katsuma: Mr. Deku, when I grow up I want to be like you.
Izuku: really? Why?
Katsuma: because you are my hero * hugs him *
End of memory
Katsuma and Mahoro: Ooooh!
Mahoro: They are the legion of recognition, they say that the wings they carry on their back! They are the wings of freedom!
Katsuma: How cool!
Izuku: * looks at them and smiles *
Soldier: it's time!
Soldier: From now on, humanity will advance a little further! Show your wills! * All soldiers raise their swords and fists and give a battle cry * Expedition started!
The wall rises little by little thus showing the troops of the reconnaissance legion led by Erwin Smith.
Erwin: COME ON ! * all moving forward * Now the 58th recovery expedition begins! All units!
