Titans were still roaming the city, Rajin had suddenly disappeared and Zilla had given his all and collapsed onto a building. Titans have also swarmed the building where gas was resupplied, so no one could get it themselves.
Mikasa ran over to Armin, who was sitting down, still in shock.
"Armin, are you hurt?" Mikasa asked as she kneeled down, "Are you okay?"
Armin however, didn't answer. Knowing this, Mikasa stood up and looked around, "Do you know where Eren is? Armin?" His emotions getting to him, he looked up at Mikasa with teary eyes, "We...the cadets of Squad 34...Thomas, Nack, Mina, Milieus, and Eren, they're all dead!"
Everyone else had heard what he had said, including Rajin, "Darnit, I could've done something."
"I'm sorry, Mikasa, I should've died, I'm useless."
"Armin, calm yourself. This isn't time to get emotional, " She helped Armin to his feet before turning to face everyone else.
"If we can kill the Titans surrounding that building, we can refuel our gas and scale the wall." Mikasa looked over in the distance, seeing a weakened Zilla fending off a horde of Titans.
"Rajin, " Rajin looked over to Mikasa, "Mind dealing with those Titans over there?"
"Not a problem." Rajin chuckled before using his ODM gear to head over to Zilla.
"As for the rest of you, you're either not as skilled as me, or are spineless cowards. It's too bad, you guys just sit here and watch those creatures do the dirty work."
"Wait, Mikasa! Are you gonna fight all of them on your own!?" Jean exclaimed.
"If I can't beat them, I die. If I win, I live. The only way to win is to fight." Mikasa jumped off the building and headed towards the building that Titans were swarming.
Nobody moved, all they did was watch her leave, "Dangit Eren!" Jean thought to himself, "Hey! We're weren't taught to fight alone!" Jean began to follow Mikasa, Conny as well.
"I never expected that," Reiner said.
Soon after nearly everyone began to follow Mikasa.
Mikasa began to kill Titan after Titan, using too much gas in the process, before she could reach another Titan, her gas ran out and she crashed onto a building, breaking her blades.
Mikasa looked at her blades, completely shattered. She got up from her spot and headed down the road. Suddenly, loud footsteps approached her, a Titan caught wind of her and prepared to grab her.
"It was a good life." Mikasa thought to herself. Suddenly she used her damaged blade to slice the Titan's hand and leaped out of the way If the other one.
The two repeated this over and over again, Mikasa barely escaping each time.
Suddenly, another Titan rushed in and punched the other one in the face, killing it. This titan was much different from the others, it, no, he was very muscular. His face showed expression, unlike other titans that had permanent grins and grimaces.
His ears were pointed like an elf's, and his teeth were made for biting. He whipped his head up and roared. The sheer volume made Mikasa cover her ears. He charged at another titan, challenging it, the other titan roared at it, accepting the challenge.
The titan charged, only to have its head slapped off. The impact had left the Rogue Titan's hand destroyed, but it soon regenerated. Mikasa had caught up with Conny and Armin, who gave his gas and blades to her.
"Hold on, I got an idea."
"And that is?"
"We use that Rogue Titan! He doesn't care for us, he's killing other Titans, if we can steer him to HQ, he'll kill those Titans!"
"That's so insane it might work!" Conny exclaimed.
Rajin had heard the roar of the mysterious Titan while fighting other Titans, "I feel something in that Titan..." The plan to steer the Titan to HQ was in action, Conny and Mikasa killed the Titans that was fight the mysterious one, knowing this, he turned his attention to the titans near HQ.
Inside HQ, the remaining soldiers we're heading further into the building, thanks to titans beginning to break in. Jean stood there in fear, his face soon turned into shock as a fist made contact with the two Titans, it was the Rogue Titan. He opened his mouth and roared at the Titans. Jean had a face full of shock and awe, "Oh God."
Mikasa, Armin, Conny, and Rajin had arrived inside HQ, "Mikasa!"
"Armin you're a fricking genius! As far as I'm concerned, your word's the law!' Conny complimented, "Hey Jean! We found an Abnormal Titan that kills other Titans, that guy's out ticket outta here!"
"Are you insane, Conny!? A titan would never do such a thing!"
"Maybe it's not a true Titan, have you ever noticed how the Colossal and Armored Titans look so different from most titans? The same could be for that Rogue Titan." Rajin stated, "Let him kill them, those two creatures are gone, they gave their all."
"Even the larger one?" Armin asked, "I expected the little one to retreat, but the large one nearly killed the Colossal Titan."
"Maybe he sensed that the Rouge Titan was on its way and left."
"It's possible..."
The Rogue Titan easily slaughtered all titans in his path, tearing and throwing them like ragdolls being roughhoused by a 5-year old. The remaining soldiers came up with a plan to use the available guns to lower down on a platform where the smaller Titans would be, and at the right time, would shoot their eyes, letting seven of them deal the final blow to the nape.
The lift was ready for boarding and many soldiers boarded the lift before heading down. Many of the smaller titans roamed around the gas room, searching for humans, once the lift had made its way down, the cadets readied their guns. One of the titans was about to pass by one of the four sides before turning to face the humans. One of the cadets jumped back in fear because of the terrifying face the titan has, "Don't lose your cool! Wait till all seven of them arrive." Marco whispered to the cadet.
The seven with ODM gear waited patiently for the titans to get into position, eventually, they did. Once the titans were close enough to the guns, Marco gave the order, "Fire!" The cadets fired their weapons, blinding the titans just as planned.
The seven cadets swiftly killed the titans, all except two. Conny and Sasha had missed the nape, once those to titan realized, they turned around to eat them, "Oh crap." Sasha murmured to herself before dodging an attack from one of the titans. Before the titan could try again, Mikasa swooped down and killed it. Annie did as well with the other one.
"Got 'em."
"Alright," Jean turned to everyone on the lift, "They're all dead, start loading up supplies."
Everyone began to refuel their empty gas tanks to scale the wall. Once everyone was ready to go, they all headed out to escape, Armin looked up to see Mikasa on top of a building, staring at something, "Mikasa?" Armin used his gear to scale the building she was on, "What are you doing? We have to leave now."
"Look, down there!" Mikasa pointed at the Rouge Titan being feasted on by other titans. "Cannibalism?" Armin wondered as the Rouge Titan roared, "Can it not regenerate like the others?"
"I may sound like an idiot, but I was hoping he was the key for us. Thad he'd help mankind break the cycle. Turn the tide just enough to give us hope."
"She's right." Mikasa turned to see Riener, Annie, Bertolt, and Jean, "He's too valuable to let die, there's too much we can learn from him."
The Rouge Titan looked over to see a familiar titan and got very angry, he forced the titans off of him, he charged at the titan and latched his jaws into the titan's neck, lifting it up. He swung the titan into another, sending them both into a building. The Rouge whipped his head up and let out a victorious roar before collapsing onto the ground."
"Well, dang." Rajin winced. Suddenly, everyone saw a hole inside the titan's body, and out of it was...was Eren. Mikasa gasped before heading down to get a better look. "Mikasa!"
Mikasa ran up on to of the titan where Eren was and hugged his unconscious body. She quickly checked for a heartbeat, there was a heartbeat. For the first time in her life, she cried.
