Chapter 8

As Rolf laid back after Eren sealed up the Wall, he heard the sound of a hook being launched nearby him, with Ian calling out more orders after having wiped himself off from early being devoured.

"Alright everyone good job! Now let's look alive, there's still Titans everywhere." Ian said, as Rolf leaped back up to his feet. Ian then looked up at Eren's Titan body, which had slumped down on its knees after placing the bolder, still and motionless. "What's the hold up?"

Armin was standing up on Eren's shoulders, tugging at his actual body from the nape of its neck. He was tugging at him, while Mikasa ran up and shot herself up at him, lending next to Armin.

"He's stuck to the carcass! I can't get him loose!" Armin cried out. Rico, who had been off helping with fighting off Titans landed on the shoulder next to Mikasa.

"Then we'll have to cut him loose." She said, bringing her swords up.

Mikasa's eyes widened. "We can't, we don't know what will happen!"

"Pardon the interruption." Rolf said, having left Ian and landing up there. "Allow Rolf to assist in the freeing of heroic Eren-boy, yes?"

After Armin got away from the side, Rolf wrapped his hands around Eren's torso and with a grunt yanked Eren as hard as he could, tearing the bits of flesh connecting Eren to the Titan body with ease. Rolf cradled the unconscious Eren in his arms, looking back at his friends.

"There, easy as peeling a splinter from the hindquarters of a louse."

"Excellent, because now it's time to go!" Ian shouted out, landing on Eren's Titan body as two Titans began to tower over the group.

Rolf dropped Eren into the arms of Armin and grinned back at Ian, stepping forward. "Nonsense! Rolf can handle two measly beasts as this!"

Rolf leaped from Eren's Titan body and shot himself up towards the one on the left. Letting out a cry, he swung up, his foot lashing out to connect underneath its jaw, making it look up. Rolf landed on its back, using the two blades to take out its weak spot.

However, Rolf wasn't done with its body, leaping off and grabbing its wrist. Hooking onto Eren's body,

he swung around, and turned his whole body, making the Titan body fling around on its feet, crashing face first into the other one.

Rolf and the dead Titan fell, the still standing Titan wobbling back. But before Rolf could start attacking, Rolf heard another hook fire out, and in a flash of light and glimmering metal, the Titan was dead. Rolf barely got a glimpse at it, but then as the Titan fell dead, the person landed on its body. Rolf recognized the symbol on the man's cloak as that of the Survey Corp.

"Pay attention kids." The man said, looking back at Rolf and everyone else on Eren's now almost fully decayed back, then back to Rolf. "This is the part here you explain what I am looking at and what exactly it was that you just did."

By now Eren had regained consciousness and was looking over at him. "The Wings...of Freedom..." He muttered groggily.

"Ah, you're awake now." Rolf said, returning to Eren, sheathing his swords. "Now then, as Rolf promised to Eren-boy." Rolf said, before swinging his boot he had taken off and was holding down at Eren's face, smacking into him hard, much to the stunned faces of Armin, Mikasa, Ian, and Rico.

"All is forgiven!"

The rest of the next day was spent clearing out the remains of the Titan infestation. Most of the Titans were standing close to the Wall, allowing the Garrison to kill most with explosive cannon shells, firing ceaselessly. What few that remained in the city after the smoke cleared was cut down by the returning Survey Corp. Not only that, but two Titans had even been captured, allowing for study and research on them.

After this battle had concluded, Rolf had heard that Eren was taken away, and that there had been much deliberation if the same was to happen to him. However, seeing as he was a human just with freakishly inhuman strength he would stay and help with the other cadets cleaning up. Rolf had at first been relieved to hear this.

Until he saw what he was helping clean up.

"Rolf...Rolf cannot stand this..." Rolf said, eyes wide. He was in his cadet uniform, just with a pair of gloves and a small bandanna covering his mouth and nose. He was staring down at what had been a person, someone living, maybe even someone he'd recognize. However, a good chunk of his torso and half of his head were just...gone.

Standing next to him was his friend Mina, her own eyes wide and her body nearly shaking as she looked down at it.

"My friends...our team...they're just like him..." She slowly said. "I...was almost just like him..."

Rolf looked down at her, feeling his own heart hammer. In his mind, the memories of that cadet he saw getting eaten by a Titan...the blood on the rooftops around Mina...and all day he'd been walking among the dead. Rolf took a breath and shook his head.

"Mina-girl...come we must do our job as assigned." Rolf said slowly, getting on his knees and reaching for the dead body. But as he reached for it, he just...couldn't. He'd handled plenty of dead animal carcasses in his time on his family farm but a person was just different. A person shouldn't look like a slaughtered sheep.

"Y-You're right." She said, resting a hand on his shoulder. "We have our orders...and it's best for his sake that he not be left here."

"Right. Rolf has this." He said, taking another breath and picking up the body, walking over to the cart where he saw a large number of similar bodies were piled up. Rolf had heard the casualty numbers: 198. 198 people had ended up just like this.

Rolf will not allow for this to happen. Rolf will not stand for these people to have become sheep chops!

The cleanup had gone on for several days, and soon Rolf was sitting inside the mess hall after a hard day's work. The task had not been physically straining on him like many others. He was used to this kind of hard work and clean up, it was almost indistinguishable from what the Urban Rangers did all the time.

However, mentally, it was one of the most taxing experiences he'd ever been through. Training was a breeze, even if using the gear was a bit hard, and Titans were little more than weaklings to knock over. Cleaning up the dead? It was something he was not ready for, and was sure he'd never be ready for. Looking off to the side, he could see that the same could be said of his friends. The sullen faces of Jean, Mikasa, Armin, even Sasha and Mina. Rolf dipped his spoon in the soup he was eating and tried to forget about it.

That's when the door opened and in stepped three soldiers, who judging by the muskets they held where part of the Military Police. The one in the middle held a sheet of paper and began to speak up.

"Cadets Armin Arlelt, Mikasa Ackerman, and Rolf Yonnick, hop to!" The soldier said. Rolf, Mikasa, and Armin where quick to stand up. "You are ordered to attend, and act as witnesses, at today's deliberation!"

"Deliberation?" Rolf asked, somewhat confused. Mina, who was sitting next to him looked up.

"Didn't you hear? They're gonna decide what to do with Eren today..."

"Decide? What is there to decide, yes? Eren-boy is a hero who was able to seal the Wall tighter than the clogs caused by Victor's shed hair."

After shuddering a bit from that pleasant image, Mina continued. "Lots of people are scared about him and well...they don't know what to do."

Rolf, Mikasa, and Armin were quickly led to a courthouse, being shuffled into one of the stands. In the stands stood other soldiers, Rolf recognizing Ian and Rico, who were all standing at attention. The three arrived and followed. Across from them sat regular people, some people who were dressed as priests from the Wall Cult, and a group of Military Police.

Rolf does not understand. What is the big humdy hum about Eren-boy? Why through a fancy pants court room showing for him?

Soon Rolf saw Eren being led in, escorted by two Military Police, poking and prodding him with their muskets. Rolf narrowed his eyes at them, not liking how they were treating his friend. They forced him to get on his knees, and then put a large metal rod in between his cuffed hands, not allowing him to move.

Then on the other side near the front of the courthouse, another door opened and in walked a person Rolf and every other soldier in the room recognized: Commander-in-Chief Darius Zackly, the supreme leader and highest ranked officer in the entire military. The fact that he was overseeing this meant that it was a very serious case.

After taking off his jacket and sitting down, Zackly looked up. "Alright, shall we begin?" Picking up the papers and adjusting his glasses, Zackly began to read from it. "Your name is Eren Jaeger, and as a soldier you have sworn to give up your life if called to, for the good of the people. Is that correct?"

After Eren confirmed this he went on to explain that, ultimately, Eren's life rested in his hands. He explained that it was impossible to cover up his existence now, and that no matter what happened they faced the risk of widespread civil unrest. He also explained that two branches of the military wanted custody: the Military Police, and the Scout Regiment. After this, he turned it over to the Military Police to state their claim.

"Thank you. My name is Nile Dok, and I am the Commander of the Military Police. Our recommendation, following a thorough investigation of his physiology: Subject Eren Jaeger should be disposed of immediately."

After hearing that, from the words of one of the highest commands in the military, second only to Zackly himself and equal to that of the other two commanders, like Dot Pixis, certainly caused Rolf to feel uneasy. He gripped his hands tightly behind his back as he heard that recommendation. He'd been in the company of death for these past few days, and the idea one of his friends may face it…

"We acknowledge that Jaeger's ability played a part in turning back the latest Titan incursion," Dok continued. "However, as has been stated, his mere existence is causing a swell of rebellious sentiment. For the greater good, after we gather all the information that we can from him, we would see him made a fallen warrior for humanity."

As he finished, one of the Wall Cultists spoke up angrily, but Rolf was too busy in thought to hear what he said.

Rolf does not understand! Why is Eren-boy making people lose their coolness? Rolf never caused anything when Rolf used his mighty muscles, and what would killing him carry out?! No, Rolf will not see Eren killed!

Now it was the Scout Regiment's turn.

"Yes, sir. As the Commander of the Survey Corps I, Erwin Smith, propose the following: let Eren join our ranks, reinstate him as a full member of the scouts, and we will utilize his Titan abilities to retake Wall Maria. That is all."

After coming to terms with the fact that not only was Zackly here, all the major Commanders were here as well, including Pixis who was standing elsewhere, effectively meaning that the four highest ranked members of the military where in one room, Rolf was relieved to hear this.

Finally, someone makes a good plan! Surely the trial shall end with something so sensible from large in the eyebrows Commander Smith. However, when Rolf looked to his right, he saw that Armin and Mikasa did not look nearly as relieved. In fact, they looked like they just heard something...well, something he'd normally say to them.

There was also a lot of whispering in the crowd after this, with Zackly asking if that was all and that it was quite bold. And he also asked how they would do this, seeing as the southern wall was sealed up. After explaining they'd go from the east around the Wall and then south.

That is when everything suddenly went wrong. One of the merchants across from the way loudly dismissed it, claiming that they should just seal up all of the walls exits, with one of the Survey Corp soldiers arguing back that they could use Eren to retake Wall Maria. This went back and forth, with even Captain Levi, the soldier who had found them just after sealing the Wall Rolf had been told, getting in on it. Then after that the Wall Cultist spoke up again, claiming that such reinforcements was blasphemy.

Rolf resisted the urge to just rub his head in pain. He was just a simple Son of a Shepherd, so in his mind Erwin's idea was just simply easy to see as the best...and of course it meant that Eren would live. Fortunately it came to an end with Zackly ordering them to stop this argument. However, after regaining control of the court, he asked if Eren could control his form. Once reassured, he then brought up a startling report.

"Just after transforming, it seems you made an attempt to crush Mikasa Ackerman." Eren Jaeger had his eyes widened and he looked back over at Mikasa in surprise.

Rolf widened his eyes, realizing how bad that would look, having forgotten about that incident. He looked to his right and saw Mikasa shooting Rico and Ian her signature "stare of a thousand hungry badgers" as he called it.

"What did you expect, me to lie in the report?" Rico demanded not backing down. Ian sighed and nodded.

"As much as I might not like the implication or what it could mean, she is right. We can't let our personal feelings get in the way of our duty." He said. "Still...I feel if this costs Eren his life, it may have been an error." Ian mumbled, as Zackly spoke up.

"In fact, it seems that she very well may not have survived if it weren't for the actions of Cadet Rolf Yonnick, who's report is almost as hard to believe as Eren Jaeger's." He said, before clearing his throat. "Supposedly, Rolf Yonnick was able to knock Eren back and down for a moment, then held him to the boulder on his own."

Hearing that, Rolf looked around, seeing a large number of eyes drawn over to their stand, with a lot of whispering.

"Oh that is just preposterous! A lone cadet holding off a massive Titan like that? It's just not possible!" One of the civilians shouted out loud.

"Yes, it does sound like quite a fairy tale. But so does this cadet before us transforming into our most hated enemy and playing a role in saving Trost, doesn't it?" Zackly said. "Besides, we do have many witnesses speaking up about Cadet Yonnick's strength, so there is no doubt he could have done it. But now that begs the question. Who are these Rolf Yonnick and Mikasa Ackerman?"

"I am Rolf, yes sir." Rolf spoke up.

"Me, that would be me, sir." Mikasa added, not letting her eyes off Rico and Ian.

"Alright Mikasa, is it true that Eren assaulted you while he was in Titan form?" After hearing him ask that, Mikasa tore her gaze to Eren's widened eyes, Rolf hearing Rico telling her to answer honestly.

"Yes...all of that's true." She forced out. This caused a maddening whisper to sweep the audience, many whispering how Eren was the enemy after all. Rolf could barely look at Eren however, who looked so devastated at hearing what he'd done.

"Settle down. Now, Rolf Yonnick, is it true you were also able to hold Eren off and protect Mikasa, all using your own strength? And I mean that literally, with your bare arms, no exaggeration."

"Rolf does agree that what has been reported on was true. Rolf was almost ready to thrash Eren with a three shoe beating before being thrown about like a pig's mud on bath day." Rolf said, which actually caused the courtroom to go silent and stare at him. However, it was just as much from confusion as it was surprise at what he did.

Mikasa was quick to take advantage of the silence and speak up, stating that Eren had saved her life twice before then, once from a Titan and another from cannon fire, asking for them to take that into consideration.

"Objection!" Came the loud voice of Nile Dox. "I have reason to believe personal feelings play a large part in her testimony." It was then that Nile gave the court her backstory, how she was orphaned at a young age and that she was adopted by the Jaeger family. However, he also brought up that they had stabbed three adult kidnappers to death at a young age.

Hearing this news did in fact shock Rolf, who remembered that at that age he was spending his time as a "care free, good for nothing youth". Nile went on to claim that, while it was legitimate self-defense, it possibly showed how violent the two were and that they were not worth investing in because of it.

Rolf supposes that does explain a few things about hot-tempered-Eren-boy. Rolf thought, looking over at Eren a bit differently. Still...Eren is Rolf's friend, and Rolf shall not change that. Rolf knows Eren is only after Titan-blood.

However, Nile's speech had rallied the crowd on his side, who began to speculate. In fact, some began to claim that Mikasa might be one too, and this got Eren to yell at them too. Rolf in fact would not stand for that.

"You petulant swine, Rolf dares you to accuse Rolf's friend that again when she-with-the-bite-of-a-deadly-wolf is not even on this sham of a trial!" Rolf said, raising his fist, glaring at the now more frightened man.

That was when Eren began shouting against them, calling them cowards that should let him fight for them if they wouldn't instead. His outburst then silenced the room.

It was then that Nile turned to one of the soldiers next to him, telling him to aim. That was it.

"Rolf has had enough!" He shout, grabbing the pedestal and getting ready to jump over. "White in the beard Premier Zackly has final word on Eren-boy, not you! Rolf swears if you don't put your blasting-stick away, Rolf will present a merciless thrashing with it on you!"

Nile widened his eyes and looked back. "Wait...you're the kid who assaulted two soldiers as a child those years ago...only someone with your strength could do so at that age."

"Rolf did, yes, Rolf was protecting Rolf's potatoes from the lazy thieves in uniform, and if must, Rolf shall do it again." Rolf said with a glare, making the musket armed soldier waver again.

"While said in a rather abrupt way, Rolf does make a point." Zackly said, glaring back at Nile. "No one said to fire. Eren may have been brash, but he spoke up his want to help us."

"But sir...he was getting angry, who knows what that would've done." Nile defended, before hearing the voice of Levi again.

"That's silly...after all, you guys just want to dissect him." He brought up, pointing out a fatal flaw in their plan that silenced Nile. "He's an intelligent and deadly fighter, taking on twenty Titans. And it seems he's got a friend ho can take on as many without a Titan form. Is there anyone in your little group who could take him out if you wanted. Because I can."

Levi was quick to bring up his impressive Titan kill record, which allowed Commander Erwin to speak up with a new proposition: Eren be placed under the strict supervision of Captain Levi, and that they'd conduct a recon mission with the results being the proof that Eren was on their side, and that should Eren lose control Levi would kill him. However, the Military Police were still not done.

"I would like to propose an added part of this agreement. Some insurance that the Military Police can handle Eren ourselves if need be." Nile said, trying to reassert some semblance of control after getting threatened by a cadet. Said cadet is who Commander Dox pointed to. "The Military Police would like Cadet Yonnick to join us. His training scores placed him in the top ten of his class so he would've been able to join anyways, and with his strength he could also take down Eren himself. Just in case the unthinkable happens and Captain Levi is unable to put him down."

"An interesting proposal. Is the Survey Corp fine with this exchange?" Zackly asked. Erwin looked over to Rolf for a moment, before turning back.

"As much as we feel that Rolf would also be a tremendous help, I can see the position of the Military Police, and so I accept."

"Very well. Of course, the final decision also comes down to Rolf. Rolf is not under arrest, and is still a soldier with the right to choose his regiment. So, Rolf Yonnick, will you join the Military Police?"

Rolf's eyes widened in surprise. He remembered before the Battle of Trost, he'd wanted to join the Military Police. But so much had happened since then that he really hadn't had time to think about that. He'd been terrified of seeing more dead like before, but with how he fought them he could save more lives. Rolf looked back to Ian thinking that if he weren't there, Ian's head would've been among the piles of the dead. But, if it meant that Eren would live…

"Rolf shall."

"Very well then. Eren Jaeger will join the scouts under close guard until the next recon mission. Meanwhile, Rolf Yonnick shall also join the Military Police." With that he slammed his arm down, ending the trial.

As everyone left the courthouse, Nile Dox sighed to relieve some of the stress. That went much worse than he'd expected, and he was still not entirely happy with the results. Still, he had been able to get away with some control of the situation, so it wasn't a total lose.

As he turned around, however, what little enthusiasm he still had left vanished when he saw who was standing in the corner, partially hidden by the shadows. He was in a black jacket, black boots, and a large black hat that hid his face.

"So, Ah heard that you was in fact able ta make it out with at least one ah the kids. That's superb." He said, with a hint of sarcasm in his face, flicking his hat up and looking at Nile.

"What is it you want?" Nile asked, crossing his arms.

"A'm here with orders from the higher-ups. Seems they've taken a liking ta this Rolf fella. An fact, they sure want him in ma group." The man said swiftly.

"What, already? But he's just a cadet who we barely were able to get to join us." Nile argued.

"Look, Ah don't care much fer it either, Ah'm not a fan of lettin' just anyone join without ma consent, 'specially one Ah don't know anythin' 'bout beforehand, but like Ah said, orders're orders."

"It's so interesting hearing that coming from you, of all people." Nile said, rubbing his eyes. "Look...it's just too early. If anyone at all catches wind that a cadet is joining with your squad so soon, even if it is someone as strong as Rolf is, the wrong questions might be getting asked." Nile countered. "Just ask for some time, let him become more accentuated in the Military Police. He's a little fiery as is, and after some time in the MP he'll learn how things are." Nile said quickly.

The man stayed leaning there for a moment, looking down before looking up with a grin that was even more unsettling then his earlier scowl. "Ya make a good point. Ah suppose Ah can convince them of that." He stood up and began walking for the door, waving as he did. "Sure is lotsa fun chattin' with ya, "boss"."

Nile took a relieved sigh after he left. "I hate dealing with him."

After the trying courtroom battle, Armin, Mikasa, and especially Rolf had been strongly recommended to not tell anyone else Rolf's true reasoning for joining the Military Police. They wouldn't say why it was, but Armin had figured it was because they wanted to milk everything out of Rolf, claiming they could use the so called "Human Titan" freely joining the Military Police as a boost for their image.

"Rolf does not appreciate being squeezed like the udder of a cow." Rolf had responded but went along with it.

With that said, Rolf had not been looking forward to returning to cleanup duty. Thankfully by the time he returned to work, almost all the bodies had been cleared out, with only maybe a small part being found on occasion. It was relatively easy for Rolf to convince himself the blood smears he was mopping up was actually paint, even if deep down it continued to disgust him.

Soon, the last bodies were gathered and the soldiers were allowed to pay their final respects as a mass number of funeral pyres were built to burn the bodies. There were too many to burn individually, and most were to mangled to even be recognized, so they were made into large piles and burned.

It was a very somber night for everyone involved. Rolf stood there watching some of the people he'd known for the last three years burned to ash in front of his eyes. He didn't personally know many of them really, but he still knew of them, had lived with them, trained with them. He felt his heart ache as he saw them. Looking around, he could see some were breaking down, like Connie, sobbing their eyes out. Others looked downright defeated as they saw this. Even Jean was kneeling before the fires.

Looking down next to him, Rolf could see Mina crying as she held onto one of the blackened bones that had fallen out.

"I'm s-so sorry...I didn't help...I should've...but I didn't..." She sobbed as she held on tightly. Rolf sat next to her, putting his hand on her shoulder.

That's when Jean stood up and looked over at them, looking terrified yet determined as he spoke up.

"Hey guys. Have you chosen yet? Which Regiment you're gonna join. 'Cause...I have." He said, shakily holding his hand as he said he was joining the Survey Corp, his voice a quivering mess as if he didn't quite believe it himself. He slowly started to fight back his fearful sobs as he admitted it.

Rolf looked up at him, slowly standing up. Rolf wasn't sure what he could say. His choice was made up, but it wasn't entirely his, so he didn't know what he would say. So he put his hand on Jean's shoulder, giving him a small smile.

"Rolf sees the bravery of a mighty rooster beneath the shivering feathers of a hen, yes long-in-the-face-Jean-boy." Rolf said. "Rolf is certain Jean has made the right call, if that is your true choice, yes?"

They had continued cleaning up the last of the battlefield for several days, and soon it was the day to choose their Regiment. Mina had pestered him about how the trial went all day. Rolf had not told her of his part of the deal, but he did say everything else that had happened.

"You threatened the commander of the Military Police in front of the Premier, when a musket was already drawn?!" Mina exclaimed when Rolf and her were heading back from the barracks towards the mess hall for breakfast.

"Eren-boy was in danger, besides Rolf could not sit and let him be dishonored like that, chained like a heckled sow after she'd been weened of her piglets." Rolf shrugged.

"I don't know if you're brave or stupid, probably both." She shook her head, as they kept walking by, but stopping when a group of soldiers walked to them.

"Cadets, all soldiers are to meet up at the barracks immediately with your Maneuver Gear." He ordered them.

"What, why is that? What's wrong?" Mina asked him before they left.

"Someone killed the two Titan test subjects. We have to find out who's responsible."

The two were surprised as they walked back to the barracks after grabbing their gear, waiting for inspection.

"Rolf has no shortage of confusion these past couple of yesterdays. Why would someone slay the strung up beasts of testing?"

"Well I guess it's nice to see you as confused as we usually are around you." Mina said. "But it's kinda obvious, I think. After a...traumatic fight like that, I can understand if someone would want to get some payback on them. I...know I would."

"...Rolf understands." Rolf said, looking down at her gripping her hands tightly.

After everyone got checked up, as evening drew near, the cadets all waited by the platform that was where the different commanders would ask the cadets which regiment they would join. As Rolf and Mina walked over to their friends they talked about it.

"I know I said I'd join the Survey Corp...but after seeing all that death right in front of me, my squad, and all I could do was get smacked around." She sighed. "I'm sorry, but the Garrison it is."

"Rolf understands, Rolf sees the value in joining them still. After all, every flock needs a shepherd who stays close to the sheep." Rolf nodded.

"Still, I'm surprised you're going with the MP. I mean, with your strength you'd be way better than anyone else at fighting Titans, and you seemed ready to fight more of them."

"Rolf...knows, and it was a trying challenge for Rolf. But Rolf can still do good in the Military Police. Rolf is not doing it to avoid fighting, Rolf can assure pigtails-Mina-girl."

"I suppose. Still, I bet it's partially because of the meat." She said, trying to inject a little humor in the still solemn atmosphere, especially as they arrived.

As the night fell, Rolf stood by the group of other recruits who'd joined the Military Police, which at this point consisted only of himself. Rolf didn't want to make too big of a scene in front of the others, so he stayed back as Commander Erwin took the stage, and began to talk.

"Rolf needs to thank brilliant-in-strategy-and-massive-in-the-wise-brow Erwin for helping Rolf with Eren-boy." Rolf said to himself, but then came the moment where the cadets where to choose. Not surprisingly, the vast majority left. Rolf saw Mina walk away as well, heading towards the Garrison group. He also saw then that Annie was walking back towards him. Rolf walked up to her.

"Well, Rolf is glad to see you as well, Annie-girl. At least Rolf has a familiar face among the Military Police." Rolf said, to her straight face, before she looked away.

"Funny, I pictured you'd be the kind of idiot to join the scouts. I guess I'm not the only one thinking with my head." She said, looking back at the remaining scouts.

And much to Rolf's surprise all of his friends besides Mina where still there. Saluting and joining the Survey Corp. They were shaking and even Rolf could tell it was a tough choice, but they did it. Rolf couldn't help but grin a little at it, crossing his arms.

"Rolf cannot help but bask in the glowing pride of such brave tomfoolery." Rolf said, with a grin. "Rolf is sure proud of Rolf's friends."

AN:

Extra long chapter from me today, because it has been a bit of a wait, and this chapter has more copied from the episodes as is so I thought I'd toss in something extra too.
