After Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt's betrayal, the woman of the group was able to escape. Hange suspected it was because of Eren's scream and everyone else thought it to be the only explanation to her escape (even Armin and Erwin). As per usual, Eren was pissed. He proceeded to leave the special ops' squad headquarters in human form and track down Annie.
And that's how they got here. Eren just had to have a run-in with a crazy holy being. He just had to pique the god's curiosity about this universe. Now Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Hange, Levi and Erwin are stuck in a dimension full of NOTHING with Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt.
It's been fun so far, what with Eren being a little bitch and refusing to talk to them. At least he's smart enough to know that they don't stand a chance against all three of them together. Annie has already curled up into a Titan ball and is actively crying. Reiner is continuously repeating "Poundtown" and holding his head. Bertholdt has questioned his sanity many times. Armin is staring off into space with glossy eyes similar to a Titan's. Mikasa has been knocked out multiple times by an annoyed Levi. Hange and Erwin are holding each other and questioning how such a place could exist.
Eren has worked up the confidence to walk over to Annie, who has created a pool under her face. The former put a hand under her stormy eyes and wiped her tears away.
"I'm not sure how this happened, but I missed you Annie." Eren admitted. It was an interesting sight to see, to say the least. Of course, Eren had become more docile after the death of that damn Smiling Titan.
Annie nudged Eren's hand in acknowledgement. She closed her eyes and licked Eren. He nodded and smiled as steam clouded the empty space. Annie's dishevelled form emerged from the hot gas and hugged a surprised Eren.
That was when Mikasa woke up. The black-haired girl's eyes practically glowed at the sight of Annie hugging Eren. The former unwrapped her arms and proceeded towards Reiner and Bertholdt. She pulled them both into a huge bear hug.
Hange was glowing with excitement the entire time. Erwin had to put her into an odd choke hold to keep her from releasing a one-scientist massacre on every Titan Shifter in this godforsaken place.
Armin, regaining what senses he had left, felt around the ground. His fingertips ran across the void's floor until he found something of interest. The floor sank in slightly and there was an obvious opening. The blonde decides to pry it open to find a treasure to behold. It was a whole compartment filled with alcohol of all kinds!
He grasps the dark tinted handles and lets out a squeak of relief. Finally, something to keep him sane. On one of the bottles hangs a black folded paper. He examines the paper until finally gathering enough curiosity to open it. He unfolds the paper to see small, somewhat legible handwriting.
"Dear void dwellers,
I leave you with some alcohol to keep you up and running through this. Have fun!
~Sincerely,
Aura"
"Hey everybody, I found alcohol!" Armin cheers.
That was a bad idea. Now they're all drunk.
"Y'know, I forgot why I hate you guys! Let's be friends!" Eren, in all his pink-cheeked glory, proposes.
"Eh, why not! What do we have to lose?" Bertholdt responds with little slur.
"POUNDTOWN!" Reiner happily blurts.
"Poundtown!" The group collectively cheers, well, except Levi. Levi doesn't cheer. He doesn't do 'happy', he just doesn't. He refuses to.
"How's about you guys turn into Titans?" Hange suggests with a glint in her eyes.
Annie, being the little shit she is, drunkenly agrees. The rest follow her lead.
"Is it just me, or should those four get together?" Armin asks.
Hange nods without turning away from the four Titans before her. Bertholdt has figured out that he can hold all three of his fellow shifters in his arms. Who knew?
"Can we just take a moment to contemplate why we're the only ones here?" Erwin asks.
"Simple. You nine are popular trios. You, Levi and Hange are the Survey Corps trio. Eren, Mikasa and Armin are the Shiganshina trio. Annie, Reiner and Bertholdt are the Warrior trio." An echoing voice explains.
"That begs the question; why only us? There are many different notable trios."
"Because why the fuck not?"
"Echoing voice has a damn good point." Levi interjects.
"Why thank you."
"Don't mention it."
"Don't have anyone to mention it to."
"That's sad." Armin interrupts.
"Indeed."
"Hey, you know what else is sad?" Levi says.
"What?" Armin asks.
"Ackermann."
"True."
"Hey, anybody else think that those four should get together? Can I get a show of hands?"
"One, two… Three… Six, Seven… Everybody?"
"Didn't think those four would raise their hands too." Hange says with her gaze still directed at the now cuddling mass of Titan Shifters.
"Do you think they would be able to speak if they tried hard enough?"
"Sure, why not."
"HEY, YOU BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL TITANS! CAN YOU SPEAK?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Annie no-"
"Shut the fuck up Reiner."
"Nah."
"Sigh."
"Did you just 'er-ally sigh?"
"Wow Eren you suck a talking."
"You try s-eaking without li-s."
"Okay fine, I will. Look at 'e- Now I understand where you're coming from. This is harder than it looks."
"Yeah Annie, that's what I thought."
"CAN YOU GUYS JUST NOT?"
"Oh wow. Bert' can speak."
"SHUT UP REINER."
"Nah."
"Am I drunk or did that seriously just happen?" Armin asks.
"Both." Erwin replies.
"Goddamit."
