The losers
Armin narrates:
Pooom, Yellow lightning strikes where the stranger was, causing a great crash.
The female titan has appeared again, killing the members of the special operations team one after the other, leaving only Petra and Auruo alive.
Eren: * sees how his friends are dead and Petra badly injured being carried by Izuku * I WILL KILL you! * Transforms into a titan *
Blaming himself for the death of his companions, Eren transforms and faces the titan, however he is defeated and captured by the female titan.
Mikasa: * charging at the titan * Bring Eren back! * Cuts off the titan's cheek, then cuts his arm a bit, then his left leg, back to the face *
The titan was trying to attack her but she was very fast
Mikasa: * charges at her * GIVE IT BACK TO ME! * Cuts his leg causing it to fall *
Mikasa stands on a tree.
Mikasa: Why don't my swords go through it? * The titan looks at her angrily * I'm sure, he's alive * changes his blades * I'm sure Eren is alive! No matter where she wanders, I will kill her, tear her to pieces, and get her out of that dirty place. I'm sorry, Eren ... just wait a little longer ...
The titan attacks Mikasa but she dodges her, the titan takes advantage of that and starts running
Mikasa: Wait! * Levi takes her * W-what are you-
Levi: someone is coming.
Poooooom green lightning strikes and a taller titan emerges.
I.T: WUAAAAAAAA! * Lands and starts chasing the titan *
End of the narration.
Mikasa: * looking at the titan * Izuku!
The titan turns and watches as I.T disappears for a few seconds and then appears in front of her to punch her in the stomach.
I.T: WUA! * Punches her stomach * (This is for Petra!)
-You may wonder what happened to Petra well ... She was found by the soldiers who were looking for Auruo, meaning that now the two of them are safe.-
The female Titan shot into a tree and quickly rejoins, lunges at I.T and charges a kick with her left leg, throws it but I.T dodges it by hitting her leg and breaking it in the process.
I.T: * throws another punch making the titan recoil * WUAA! (This is for Auruo!)
The titan recoils and falls sitting up, so she tries to crawl to flee but I.T grabs her leg and pulls her, spins her and throws her against a tree, breaking her spine, preventing her from standing up. I.T approaches her and tries to grab the back of her neck, but receives a punch from the titan's hardened hand. I.T takes the hit squarely and backs off.
IT: (So you want to play dirty huh? Then * green rays start to shoot out of the titan * I will too) * Activate the One for All at 60% * (One for All: Titan!) * The titan strikes a pose of fight*
In these seconds that passed, the titan stood up and went against izuku.
Meanwhile Mikasa and Levi were watching, waiting for the exact moment to attack.
Mikasa: What are we waiting for?
Levi: His neck * points and they see that the titan still had strength *
The titan begins to throw punches against IT, but he dodges them and tries to return them successfully, one hits her face, another one on the right part of the abdomen and then IT lunges against her, takes her by the shoulders and lifts her, and makes him a suplex. I.T stands up quickly as does the Titan, who had a worried face.
IT: (your regen has a limit!) * Bump fists into the titan * (If you can handle that, then you can't handle this! Texas Smash ! * hits her face, she recoils and throws herself at him , colliding punches *
The minutes passed and the titan was starting to tire, so the titan used her last resort, self-sacrifice, she was going to scream, but I.T's jaw burst with a punch, shown to Eren.
Levi: Now !
Mikasa lunges and cuts the titan's ankles, then I.T pushes her and she falls sitting against a tree.
I.T: * approaches her wanting to kill her * (Today you will pay for all those you have killed!)
Levi: Izuku! We retreat!
IT: * gets the message and simply grabs the titan's jaw and starts to open it * (come on, let it go) * after a few seconds the titan's jaw breaks, showing Eren, IT delicately takes Eren, and takes it carry.
Levi: Get on his shoulders.
Mikasa: * climbs on I.T's shoulders just like Levi *
Levi: Izuku, you're not going to de-transform until we get there.
I.T: * nods *
They were already going to meet the squad again, but Levi turned and saw how the female titan was shedding tears, as if the mission had failed.
In Caranes.
Person: What happened?
Person 2: I don't know, but I imagine they will come with a lot of casualties, like in every outing.
Cona legion.
They had already left, with a titan behind them, which was like a bird perch, since the soldiers who were left without horses were hanging from it.
Soldier: The view is incredible, isn't it?
I.T: * nods and grunts *.
Soldier: Do you really understand us?
I.T: * raises his hand and lifts his thumb *
Soldier: That makes sense to me
Eren still hadn't awakened like Auruo and Petra.
In some house.
A blonde-haired woman was looking through a window.
Madam: * comes up behind her * I heard Erd is coming home today.
Woman: Yes.
Elsewhere.
A boy was helping to do the laundry.
Sir: Do you think Auruo will have time to come home?
Madam: It doesn't cost anything to prepare a little food for him.
In another house.
An old man was sitting on a rocking chair.
Old woman: * comes up behind the old man * Today Günther is coming home.
Elder: What a joy.
With the legion later.
They were regrouping, loading gas, blades, and tending to the wounded.
Petra: * open eyes * Where am I? * He tries to lift * It hurts! * Is able to sit * What happened?
Soldier: Petra! She's already woken up! * Doctors arrive for a checkup *
Petra: What is it?
Doctor: Miss Petra, it's a miracle that she's still alive, thank goodness Izuku saved her * checking her bandages *
Petra: Izuku? What happened to him?
Medic: He's with the supplies hanging everything inside a giant bags to use more carts on the wounded.
Petra: And Auruo?
Doctor: Mister Auruo is in conversation with Captain Levi.
Auruo: Captain, I don't understand how I'm still alive * looking at his legs *
Levi: At least you survived, not like Erd or Günther.
Auruo: And Petra?
Levi: She's fine, she's just like you, she won't be able to walk.
Auruo: Wow ... That's bad ... But the important thing is that I'm alive right?
Mikasa looked at Eren very worried.
Petra watched the entire row of corpses, including those of her friends.
Petra: * tries to stand up * Why can't I stand up? * Tries to stop but falls on his face *
Doctor: Miss Petra! I don't know how to get up! * She goes with some doctors and they put her back on the wagon * You will not walk again.
Petra: What ?!
Doctor: Part of your spine is completely broken, when we examine it it is clear that in the lower abdomen, the last 5 vertebrae are broken.
Petra: ... * lowered her head * But ... Will I survive?
Doctor: Yes, it will survive.
The soldiers arrived with more corpses.
Levi lifted one of the blankets from the corpses a little and saw the wings of freedom that Erd had on his chest.
It was already dusk.
Jean and Armin were putting the corpses on a cart.
Jean: I can never get used to this.
Armin: I don't think anyone will.
Jean: I think about how many of my friends are going to die, and I wonder how I am going to die, that's the only thing I can think about right now.
Armin: I try not to think about it, if I imagine too much how I'm going to die, I doubt that I can fight again.
Jean: it's true. I agree with you.
Connie was with Sasha feeding the horses.
Connie: How much longer will I survive?
Sasha: You're alive for now, aren't you happy with that?
Connie: At the moment yes
Sasha: Aren't you happy? Are you alive
Connie: How can you say that in front of all those corpses?
Sasha: * lowers her head a little * ...
Connie: I'm not even sure I can go home.
Later
Erwin: We have already finished, except for 5 bodies that we have not been able to recover.
Soldier: No parts of them?
Erwin: The Titans haven't let us get close.
Soldier: It must be better for the families not to find the bodies.
Erwin: Say they disappeared.
Soldier: Yes sir, also, we have sighted several Titans around the forest, but at the moment none were heading in our direction.
Erwin: Let everyone know, we get going. * Hands him a notebook *
Soldier 1: I can't accept that Commander Erwin! * Indignant at such words *
Soldier 2: Hey man ... * tries to calm his friend *
Soldier 1: We have to get it back! Ivan's corpse was in front of us! * Shouted very angrily *
Soldier: There were Titans too close! There was a chance they would attack us!
Soldier 1: If they attack, we kill them!
Soldier 2: Ivan was our childhood companion and friend. Get to know his parents! We want to at least take his body home! * He begged the commander, who wouldn't? *
Soldier: Don't be selfish!
Levi: Insolent brats
Soldier: Captain Levi!
Levi: He's been confirmed dead, don't you think that's enough? With the corpse or not, death is death, nothing is going to change that.
Erwin: Mark Ivan and the others as missing and get this over with. This is the final order, forget them. * Leaves the place *
Soldier 1: You two ... Don't you have feelings ?!
Soldier: Hey Dither, you're exaggerating!
Later.
The troops had already departed and were followed by Izuku, who carried 5 soldiers on his shoulders and in his hand carried some supplies from a cart, which was occupied by Petra and Auruo.
Mikasa was on a horse next to the cart where Eren was, watching him.
A soldier was looking at the floor of the wagon until he looked back and saw: Titans!
They were 2 Titans, following Dither, who had Ivan's corpse on his back, and his friend.
Soldier: They are ... Dither! Idiots * throws a red flare *
I.T realizes that and starts running towards them.
Soldier: * almost fell * What are you doing?
Levi: * coming from the front * Atacaaa!
Erwin: * sees the sign * Run full speed!
Hanji: Levi already went ahead, he will use Izuku as a tree right?
Erwin: yes, having it is very helpful.
The titan was going to take Dither but IT gives him a punch that takes him flying, the other titan manages to grab his friend and eats him, and then Levi, who was on IT's back, throws himself against the other titan and cut his neck.
Armin: * looks to the right and sees more Titans approaching * More are coming!
Jean: So what do we do?
Armin: * looks at the corpses *
Soldier: * also sees that they are coming from the right * They are getting closer! Throw the flare! * Soldier 2 listens and throws the flare *
Levi: * lands on the wagon after killing the titan * Throw the corpses. So izuku can put down supplies and fight.
Soldier: Yes! * Lower the wagon door and then they drop the corpses *
Levi: * watches Erd and Günther's corpses fall *
I.T approaches and leaves the provisions and throws himself together with the soldiers on his shoulders into the fight.
I.T: WUAAA! * Hits a titan and the soldiers take care of two others who came with him *
After that I.T regroups with the soldiers who were stopping further.
A flare of green smoke is thrown.
Soldier: Confirm your positions! We are going to leave immediately!
Soldier 2: Don't leave the formation, we can go east.
Dither was happy to have recovered his friend's body but sad to lose another.
Dither: * sees Captain Levi arrive * Captain Levi, I ...
Levi: * takes something out of his pocket * This is proof that he will live, at least for me.
Dither: * realizes what's in his hand and grabs it *
Levi: It's from Tom * Dither starts crying *
Dither: Captain ...
Levi: * withdraws and gets on his horse *
Soldier: Let's go!
Eren's dream.
Eren and mikasa were walking calmly until Mikasa commented: Eren, I don't think you should join the recon legion.
Eren: they also think they are idiots?
Mikasa: not anything like that- * is interrupted by the ringing of bells *
Eren: The recon infantry is back! * He said excitedly * The door is opening, come on Mikasa, the heroes are back!
?: Wait for me guys !
Mikasa: Izuku * with sparkle in her eyes *
Eren: izuku ! Go!
Izuku: guys, I heard the bells, the recon legion arrived, right?
Eren: yes, at this moment they are entering, if we hurry we can see them! * Starts running *
Izuku: come on Mikasa * takes mikasa's hand and starts running after Eren *
Mikasa: izuku * whispered blushing *
All the people were in lines in the streets waiting for the heroes to arrive.
Eren: ah, I can't see.
Luckily for the 3 of them, they found some boxes and climbed into them to see.
First there were 3 soldiers on horseback and one turned to see Izuku who was smiling at him, but this soldier turned to another part not to see his smile.
Izuku wondered why that soldier turned his face and all those doubts were resolved when he saw all the rest of the group, wounded, some lame, others one-eyed, some without arms, others went in carts since they could not walk and all had faces of have seen something horrible.
Person 1: Why are there so few of them?
Person 2: a group of them were eaten
Person 3: This is what you get when you go outside the walls.
Cocky Person: That was tough, really, so all they've done is offer themselves up as titan food?
Person 2: this is as if we were fattening them with just taxes
Eren picks up a stick and was going to attack those people.
M and I: Eren?
But it stops.
Mikasa: What is it?
Eren with the Legion cape held the stick tightly very angry.
Mikasa: Eren!
End of the dream.
Eren suddenly awakens.
Mikasa: Eren ...
Eren: * tries to get up *
Mikasa: Don't get up yet. Rest well
Eren: And the female titan?
Mikasa: Izuku defeated her, but we had to flee as we couldn't afford any more casualties.
Eren: How? But the rest...
Mikasa: Miss Petra is alive and stable just like Mister Auruo.
Eren: Mister Auruo? And the mission?
Mikasa: Failed, rest now.
Eren: You ... did you save me again?
Mikasa: Izuku did it * points back to where I.T was walking following the comboy's step *
Eren: Is he still transformed?
Mikasa: He is helping to transport the soldiers without a horse and also some supplies * takes the necklace and looks at it for a moment * We will soon reach the walls.
All the soldiers were bad, sad, angry and very sorry to come home with a failed mission.
When they reached the gate, the squadrons of troops on horseback passed first and then Izuku passed, transformed into a titan.
People: A titan ! / Run! * Some fled and others stood watching as I.T left the supplies on the ground and helped lower the soldiers from their shoulders *
People: Aren't there more people than in the morning?
Woman: It decreased a lot.
Sir: This time it was horrible too.
Cocky person: They left today in the morning and are already back? With that titan friend?
When the back was cleared, I.T knelt down and the back of his neck began to steam and after him, Izuku came out.
Person: He is one of the humans that can transform into a Titan!
Woman: He helped!
Lord: But, even with them, did they lose?
Eren heard how people criticized them and got angry, he wanted to get up, but he was too tired to do it.
Mikasa: Eren, don't do it.
He sees Katsuma and Mahoro for a few seconds, smiling.
Mahoro: The Lord of the Morning is alive! And he's a Titan!
Katsuma: They're also amazing! Those who come back alive are the strongest! * Raises his fist *
Mahoro: They keep fighting even after getting hurt so bad!
Eren and Mikasa saw that, Eren just made himself on his bed.
All his friends walked by, very ashamed and sad.
Sir: Captain Levi! Thank you for taking care of my daughter. I am Petra's father. I'd like to talk to you before she sees me. She sent me a letter * sample letter * saying that she had been accepted into your Squad and that she met a very cute boy, and that she was willing to give her 100% for you. My girl writes these things without even imagining that her father cares hahahaha. And about that ... How his father ... I still think that it's too soon for him to get married ... He is still young and still has a lot to live ...
Levi: Your daughter is very bad.
Q. Q: W-what?
Levi: was very injured in the battle against the female titan, she ... It is likely that she will not walk again.
Q. Q: But c-how is she still alive?
Levi: Izuku Arlert, he is the hero who saved his daughter and her friend.
Q. Where is she?
Levi: She is in the 4th wagon from the front, she is resting, I recommend that in a couple of hours she go to the reconnaissance legion barracks, there her daughter will be treated.
People: Captain Erwin! Answer! / Did the excursion have any results to justify the casualties?! / It is heard that the dead soldiers rest in peace. * Shouts of indignant people *
Armin narrates.
The prejudices and losses of that excursion were strong enough to shake the legion of reconnaissance.
* Eren was crying and Mikasa was just looking at him *
Erwin Smith and those responsible were summoned to court, and Eren and Izuku were handed over to the authorities.
