Opening.
In the previous chapter.
The legion troops had already set out in search of Eren and Izuku.
Erwin: Come on!
Hanji watched as they left.
Hanji: * turns around * Bring me a horse! * Crawls *
Moblit: Squad Leader Where do you want to go?
Hanji: To the town where we captured the titan who couldn't walk.
Moblit: Are you referring to Ragako?
Hanji; I have to see it with my own eyes.
Moblit: Don't be silly! Or you can ride a horse in your state!
Hanji: There is something wrong, we have to investigate it * crawls more *
Moblit: Okay, I'll go, you stay and pass out calmly. * Runs away *
Hanji: * faints *
With Erwin.
Erwin: * raises his left hand * Disperse! Form to locate the enemy!
The troops split up doing the formation.
Mikasa: (Izuku ...)
End .
Rainer: Hi Eren, Hi Izuku, have you woke up yet?
Rainer and Berthold were standing on branches away from them.
Eren: * realizes he doesn't have an arm * What the hell? My arms?
Ymir: Eren, look at me, I'm just like you.
Izuku: I still * stands without using his arms * It was difficult but I managed to get up.
Eren: Izuku, why don't I have arms?
Rainer: Sorry, I was the one who ripped them off. I was in a hurry, I bit the back of your neck, I did not take into account the arms.
Eren: ya ... So we lost.
Izuku: Yes and no ... Berthold jumped in, and if he had reacted earlier, he would have hit Berthold.
Eren: * looks down on Rainer then bites his arm *
Rainer: Stop Eren!
Ymir: Calm down will you? Look around. We are in a search inside the wall María. But we are far from the walls.
Izuku: That will be easy * passes the One for All to his arms and rays begin to regenerate faster * In a couple of minutes we will leave.
Ymir: Even if you want to leave, you will not be able to, look at that titan * points to the one who was lying on the ground * he is an abnormal, it seems that he is just resting, but he does not lose sight of us. And there are many small ones down there, that is dangerous in itself, there is another big one over there * makes the boys turn towards a titan who was looking at them from behind a tree * You are looking at us, but it does not come close, it will be delicate and then there are those two bastards * points to Rainer and Berthold * they are the only ones with maneuvering equipment, Rainer has the one you brought and Berthold the Izuku one. And it is likely that if they transform back into Titans something will happen. They can either do the same or flee to the treetops. And they are counting them, we are surrounded by Titans. Leaving their territory would be difficult even with our powers. Do you understand? Playing the hero will do nothing.
Rainer: No, they can't even transform into Titans. Its not that easy. Your body is at the limit, you need to focus everything on restoring it.
Eren: Are you an asshole? Why would I believe everything you say? Izuku only needs to regenerate his fingers.
Rainer: What?
Ymir: Ya, I don't have much idea how Titan powers work. Unlike you, I know little. Hey Rainer, you said we'd talk when the two of them woke up, what are you planning to do with us?
Rainer: We will take them home. I am aware that they will not do what I ask, but since you say join this it is infested with Titans.
Izuku: (I need to hear this, it's very good information)
Rainer. We could fight each other, but the Titans devour us when we are weak, so we will have to wait here until nightfall, either for them to escape from us or for us to take them home. Whatever happens, it will be night.
Ymir: Tks, why didn't you run there as an armored titan? Why stop here? Did you need to rest?
Rainer: I leave it to your imagination.
Eren (Think ... if I transform into a Titan at the right time and coordinate with Izuku, I doubt running away would be a challenge. But will I be able to transform? * Looks at Rainer * Rainer said no and I must bear in mind that even Rainer decided stop here. If I don't have enough energy the Titans will devour me. Unless Izuku blows them up.) * gets a little frustrated *
Ymir: Will we just wait for nightfall?
Rainer: It is an option.
Eren: (No, they won't wait that long)
Izuku: (They are waiting for someone. I'm sure, but who?)
Eren: (They won't give us time to fully recover, They'll act while we're weak.)
Izuku: (I must wait for the other person to arrive)
Eren: (What happened to the others? Where is the legion?
Izuku: (They must be arriving by now, I hope I can meet Mikasa again, I still do not apologize for the forest)
Eren: (If we regenerate in time, they could help us eliminate Berthold and Rainer.)
Ymir: The castle Titans moved even at night.
Izuku: What?
Ymir: Won't these do it too?
Rainer: These Titans don't move at night. You should know Ymir.
Eren: (By the way, how is it that Ymir can transform into a titan? I don't think she's like me, who didn't know anything. Is she on our side? I don't even know what her goal is, it was never easy to understand her, I decided-
Izuku * whispers in his ear * Eren, let's stay here to get information.
Eren: yes ...
Elsewhere.
A soldier throws a red flare.
Soldier Titan at three! Use smoke! * The other soldier replies the signal *
Soldier 2: Smoke projectile to the right!
Erwin: Do not change the course! Let the right team reign with the central one and continue! We have until the night!
Hannes: * sees that Mikasa is ahead of everyone * Mikasa! Hey Mikasa! Mikasa! * She reacts and turns around * Calm down a bit. You go too fast, you will ruin the formation. I know how you feel, but I already told you, They will not let themselves be kidnapped without a fight. Am I wrong? * She nods * You know she will not give up, we have to keep her cool and be there when she needs us. Just like the old days.
Mikasa: * smiles *
With Izuku.
It was already dusk they continued to regenerate.
Ymir: * blowing air with his hand * Rainer Do you have water? At this rate I will die dehydrated. Even if it is a matter of life and death, we cannot achieve it.
Ymir: You're right, the situation could be worse.
Rainer: Which reminds me. We are without rest, since the Titans appeared yesterday morning. We don't eat, drink, sleep, luckily the wall didn't have any holes, we deserve a break for once, and maybe a promotion, we'll see.
Berthold: Rainer.
Rainer: What? we earn it. We work exceptionally given the chaos of the situation. They should give us credit as soldiers, I think we deserve it.
Ymir: Rainer, what are you talking about?
Izuku: He's talking about his home, Marley ... * Ymir is shocked to hear that name *
Eren: Marley? Does that district exist?
Ymir: Huh?
Rainer: I'm not saying we are promoted to captains either.
Ymir: I didn't ...
Izuku: What the fuck is Marley Rainer?
Rainer: It is our home. Now we just need to go for Krysta, she is sure in love with me. She always treated me ...
Ymir: * with the heaviest heartache * She is in love with Eren!
Eren: W-what? * Blushes *
Ymir: She stops talking about you all the time * points to it * and whenever she dreams she talks about you, "that you are a good husband", "That she loves you!".
Rainer: What? * Gets a little angry * Then it will be easier to bring her here.
Eren: * manages to stop * Hey! Damn you think this is a fucking joke?
Rainer: Why are you mad Eren? Did I say something wrong? * Looked scared *
Eren: If you want me to kill you say so!
Ymir: Wait Eren. This is not normal, whichever way you look at it, isn't it Berthold? If you know something, don't keep quiet and do something.
Berthold: Rainer, you are not a soldier, remember? You and I are warriors.
Rainer: * gets scared and remembers when he left Marco to his fate, taking away his equipment and letting him be like a titan * Sure. It's true * kneels down and starts crying *
Izuku: What's up?
Ymir: I think you already got it. It seemed weird to me. Why would the guy who broke the wall risk his life for Connie? Everything he does contradicts himself but he doesn't realize it, I don't know how it ended up like that, but I thought they were a warrior destined to break the wall, although after pretending to be a soldier for so long, lost sight of which of the two was his real me. No ... Maybe to bear it and keep his heart calm, he convinced himself that he was a soldier who protected the wall and in the end he ended up believing it. As a result, his heart and memories were divided. I doubt that I know at the first time that what he says does not make sense. So Berthold's expression seems to say. It's incredible, that's how guys like you end up ...
Rainer: Shut up!
Izuku: (This shit got on, but if she's right, why did she kill all those lives? I don't understand ...)
Rainer: shut your mouth.
Ymir: * smiles * I think I overdid it.
Izuku: It doesn't make sense. Why are you pretending to be the victim? What are you trying to do? What the hell were you thinking when you talked to us that day? Tell me Berthold, I'm talking to you damn second. I told it all in front of you, how they ate Eren's mother alive, how I saw a girl die in front of me! How a mother and her baby died!
I remember.
Girl: Mom! Mom?
Izuku: Take care of the girl
A rock on a roof slid down the slope and crushed the girl
Izuku * looks at this in terror and keeps running after Eren and Mikasa *
Then he turned to his left and saw how a rock flew out of a house and fell on a mother and her little baby.
Mom: Help- * the rock crushes her *
End of memory.
Izuku: You saw it right, a piece of the door that you kicked fell on my house. And you almost killed my grandfather, if it weren't for why he went shopping. Do you remember? I told you, what did you think, what were you thinking when I told you?
Berthold: That day ... I felt bad for you and Eren.
I and E: Sure.
Izuku: You guys ...
Eren: They are not soldiers ...
Izuku: Neither warriors ... They are mere assassins. They are mass murderers who killed hundreds of innocent people.
Rainer: * angry * You think I don't know ?! I don't need you to tell me!
Izuku: Then you pretend to have emotions like us! You are not human! Because of you, our world is hell! Do you understand, assassins ?!
Rainer: And what do you expect from said killers ?! That we regret it? That we apologize? Would you be satisfied with that? We are not who you thought we were! If yelling makes you feel better, yell all you want!
Izuku:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHI! * His sanity goes away for a few seconds * You're right! I'm so naive! I must do everything I can! I will do everything my body can for you to suffer and die of the worst possible way! * points at them very angrily * You will pay!
Eren: (That's not Izuku)
Ymir: No, please izuku, if you continue * for some reason his voice changes to that of All Might * That would not make him a hero, you must save them all no matter what, try to save them, Young Midoriya remembers what he teach *
Ymir: Hey Rainer, who was that monkey?
Rainer: Monkey? Who are you talking about, don't they know him? It surprises me especially why they looked at him absorbed like two children.
Eren: What monkey?
Ymir: Listen, that monkey, the beast titan, is the one that caused this uproar. Genus Titans within the walls. Maybe he was trying to measure our strength, that's where those two want to go. If they get to him, they will come home, right?
Eren: Did you know?
Izuku: So they're expecting him huh?
Eren: What do you know?
Ymir: Wait, I have my circumstances too.
Eren: What circumstances?
Ymir: Eren and Izuku, if they think that killing them will solve everything, you are wrong, a lot.
I and E: What ?! And who the fuck is the enemy ?!
Ymir: The enemy? If I told you ...
Rainer: Ymir! Do you think this one has a future? If you know so much think about what you are going to do. You could join our side.
Ymir: And trust you? Yes, of course, how you trusted me * he said sarcastically *
Rainer: You're wrong, we can trust you. Why your goal is to protect Krysta right?
Ymir: Yes! But someone will help me! I'll be there for her! Always! No matter what they tell me! I don't care! I'll always be there for her!
Rainer: Is it really hard for you to believe that we want the best for Krysta too? Or do you prefer to rely on the strength and determination of those two? I imagine they thought they were your best asset to flee. Why if we take you, you doubt that you are saved. If I'm honest with you, it's true, even if you accompany us, we cannot guarantee that you are safe. But we could do something for Kry-
Eren: What the fuck does she have to do with this ?!
Rainer: That is none of your business!
Eren: If it's my business! * Turns to Ymir * Say something! Who is the enemy?
Ymir: I don't know ...
Rainer: Determined * Berthold stands next to him * Sorry Eren, Izuku.
A flare is heard in the distance.
Berthold; Is the legion here already?
Rainer: Damn.
Eren: (Damn Ymir, the sun will be able to in an hour)
With the legion.
Mikasa: (Izuku, I hope you're okay ...)
I remember / 3 years ago / 3 days before joining the 104 legion
It was 8-something at night
Izuku: * takes Mikasa's hand * Could you please come with me.
Mikasa: What is it?
Izuku: Just join me * guides her to a small clearing near a lake *
Izuku guides her to the area where the moon rises, revealing her reflection in the lake as the sounds of the night acclimatize the situation.
Izuku: * takes Mikasa by the hands and puts her in front of her * Mikasa, for a long time I have wanted to tell you something that has been kept in my heart for a long time, and I do this and tell you, why do I want to be with you always, protecting you in the army and when we defeat the enemy, we can live a quiet life, you ... I like you, I have always liked you, when you came to live with Eren, when I met you, at that moment I fell in love of you, the necklace that you have ... It is ours that since I saw you I fell in love with you. So I beg you! Accept my feelings! Please! * Bows slightly as he hands her a poorly embroidered fabric heart *
Mikasa: * felt her heart beat at a thousand an hour, that's what she always wanted to hear, she was also in love with him * I ... I'm also in love with you izuku, since I saw you I knew that I was going to fall in love of you. That's why * takes the fabric heart and hugs it * I accept your feelings Izuku Arlert * comes over and gives him a little kiss on the lips *
That kiss did not intensify, it was their first kiss from both of them, well from Izuku not so much, but starting over, it was a different feeling. The kiss lasted for a couple of seconds until Izuku broke away flushed and then hugged Mikasa.
Izuku: I love you very much * hugs her a little tighter *
Mikasa: Me too.
Armin: * behind a bush * (It worked!)
Eren: * on top of a tree * (I suspected from the beginning)
End of memory
