On the boat Eren looks up in alarm. A large red foot stomped on the ground.
"Huh what is this?" Gunther asked.
"My guess is were seeing the Armour titan." Levi said. Everyone shifted in their chair uncomfortably.
"YES! First the colossal now the armoured WOHOO!" Hange screamed.
"Be more quiet." Levi said in annoyance.
Reiner started sweating slightly as he stared at the screen.
The camera zooms out to see the armour titan standing their menacingly.
"Hey it's Reiner!" Gabi says staring in awe.
"Holy crap what is that?"
"So it does have armour on it." Pyxis says while studying the armoured titan.
He backs up then lifts his leg up and chargers towards the wall.
"Woah." Eld said.
"It's fast that troubling." Nanaba says.
"I thought it would be slower." Oruo says.
"How did that look like a normal titan to you?" Jean ask Eren.
"I was on a boat I couldn't see it clearly." Eren snaps back.
"Do you think it also a titan shifter?" Moblit asks the commander.
"Yes. The way it backed up wasn't normal." Erwin says.
The garrison guards watched in horror as the armour titan ran straight for them. "What the hell is that?"
"Fire!" The canons fired but had no effect.
"No effect?"
"How can it have no effect." Floch freaks out.
"Duh it has armour." Ymir says back.
"Argh shit he gonna be hard to defeat with that." Eren groans
"Shit run!" They yelled in panic as they began retreating.
"Run! Retreat!"
"A titan charging right at the gate! Close the gate!" Hugo screams. The armour titan continued to run at full speed and smashed through the wall.
"Wow." Sasha says. Hannes looks down as he see's his friend get launched in the air.
"That definitely trouble." Rico says.
"That strength woah." Nifa says.
"Do you think Eren could stand against that?" Mike asks.
"I don't think so." Levi states.
"Well we still aren't sure about his ability so we'll have to see." Erwin says back.
"It covered in armour how can we attack it?" Marlo questions.
"There must be a way right..."
All the garrison soldiers watch in horror. "The gate.." Hannes says in shock. The armour titan opens it mouth and lets out steam.
"I wonder what that steam was for." Hange says while writing down notes.
"Anyone else feeling like we have no hope after watching these episodes." Gelgar says sadly.
"Yea how can we even defeat those titans." Gunther says.
The screen fades to black then turns back on to Mikasa on the ground, putting her blades back. "This world is cruel and yet very beautiful." Mikasa thinks with her eyes full of no life.
"Huh what happening?" Christa asks.
"This was the battle for trost." Mikasa responds.
"Are you ok?" Eren asks concerned for the look in her eye.
"Pretty sure she that way cause you found out that you died." Connie responds.
"Oh, oh." Eren face darkens.
A titan approaches her. "I had a good life." She thinks as she closes her eyes.
"Huh are you giving up?" Eren looks at the screen shocked.
"Don't worry I got up again." Mikasa says while slightly smiling.
The titan reaches for her and the she suddenly slices in hands. She jumps to avoid it. "Huh?" She thinks as she continues to dodge it's attack.
"Woah your so strong!" Petra compliments.
"I would've pissed myself I was there."
"Her strength wasn't exaggerated." Mike says to Erwin.
"Yea she reminds me of Levi." Erwin says while glancing at him.
"Most people wouldn't even try to fight a titan on the ground and succeed." Pyxis says.
"Her survival instincts are insane." Bertholdt says in amazement.
"Wow this girl is so cool!" Zofia says.
"Zofia she a devil!" Gabi snaps back. Zofia looks down.
"She could be trouble." Zeke tells everyone.
"What can a human do against a titan?" Porco says back.
"Why? I thought I'd given up." Mikasa thinks as she rolls on the ground. "Why do I still stand? Why do I still struggle? To what purpose? There's no point in living anymore." Mikasa thinks as she stands up.
"Really you think that way because Yeager dead." Jean says in annoyance.
"What making me?" Mikasa turns around to see another titan approaching.
Hange lets out a sequel catching everyone attention. "Moblit get ready HA!" Hange says as her eyes widen in excitement.
"Fight! Fight!" Eren voice in her head told her
"Eren.."
"Fight! You gotta fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Eh is that Eren?" Connie asks.
She hearing my voice in this situation. Eren thinks in surprised. .
Mikasa eyes are filled with life again. "I'm sorry Eren. I won't give up anymore."
"Good." Eren says.
"That a relief." Armin says as he smiles.
"Never again." She remembers watching Eren asleep and tears stream down her face. If I die, I wouldn't even be able to remember you."
"Aww she cares about him so much." Ness says.
"This is wholesome."
I didn't realise how much she depended for me. Eren thinks as she glances at Mikasa.
"I do whatever it takes to stand up! I'll do whatever it takes to survive!" She lets out a scream as she grips her knife. Suddenly the titan steps out and punches the other titan right in the face.
"Wow! That was amazing!" Hange stands up and cheers.
"Dude that was freaking awesome!" Connie says while hitting his back.
"I can't believe I did that?" Eren says in disbelief.
"His titan form also has a lot of strength." Erwin says while smiling.
"That was brutal but cool!"
"Imagine what you could do if you got it under control!" Petra says to him.
"Aw yea this is getting me hopeful in the future again!" Gelgar shrieks.
People began cheering for Eren and he could feel his face go red. "Thanks you saved me." Mikasa says while smiling.
In the room with the Marleyan everyone mouth dropped.
"That a titan shifter right?" Udo asks. Pieck nods.
"This must be the first time their transforming, so their not in control." Pieck says.
"But who is it?" Porco asks.
"I have a guess." Zeke says.
Blood splatters on the wall and Mikasa falls on the ground. The titan is sent soaring. "What was that?" She looks up in shock to see the rouge titan standing there.
"Your titan looks badass!" Connie screams.
"Yea that stance did look pretty cool." Ymir says.
The rouge titan screams and Mikasa covers her ears. It runs towards the titan and starts stomping on its head. Mikasa stares in disbelief.
"WOOHOO! YEA!" Hange screams.
"How many times do I have to tell you to be more quiet four eyes." Levi groans as he covers his ears. He then looks back at the screen. If Eren can learn to fight in his titan form we might have hope. He thinks.
"Please Mikasa. Please be safe." Armin thinks as he flies with his odm gear. He turns his head to see Mikasa on the ground. "Mikasa!" He calls out to her. He soars down and picks her up as they both land on the roof. "Mikasa, are you all right?"
"Are you two ok?" Connie asks as he comes over.
"Hey it me!" Connie says in excitement.
"We're getting outta here! Huh?" Connie looks up as he see's two titan approaching. "Oh shit. Two fifteen meter tall titans!" Connie says in panic.
"No that one's..." Armin looks down to see a titan skeleton.
"What?" He thinks.
"I would've been so confused if I saw that." Eld says.
"I was." Armin responds.
Eren titan let out a roar and the other titan roared back.
"Huh it roar back? Was it challenging him? Were they speaking the same language? WAIT EREN CAN YOU UNDERSTAND TITANS NOW?" Hange turned her head to Eren as she wrote down all her theories.
"Uh no I don't think so?" Eren said a little caught off guard.
"Ooo I loved to try out and see if it true." Hange says while laughing.
"Calm yourself Hange!" Moblit says back.
Eren goes into a fighting stance which shocks the three of them. The titan chargers at him. Eren punches it at the side of it head causing his head to go flying into a tower.
Annie tenses as she watches Eren fight. If he got his emotions under control he could be a threat. Meanwhile Reiner was studying him.
"That was SO COOL!" Sasha screams.
"His titan form so strong!"
"Humanity might actually have hope!"
"You destroyed that titan!" Christa says joining with them.
"It didn't even stand a chance!" Floch shouts.
"That was actually pretty awesome." Jean admits.
"Heh that punk did good." Hannes says while smiling.
"When I saw that my brain wasn't working but knowing this is Eren just makes it so epic!" Connie cheers.
"I can't believe I don't remember doing this!" Eren shouts.
"Without you, all of us would've died." Armin tells him.
"Quite amazing brute strength." Pyxis says.
"He went into a fighting stance which means a small part of him was conscious." Erwin says.
The titan body falls and Eren looks at his hand which heals. The titan body tries to get up but Eren stomps on it. "He finished it off?! He actually targeted the weak point to kill it?" Armin says in disbelief.
"Heck yea he did!" Connie shouts.
"Stomp on that titan head!" Sasha screams.
"Those brats are so loud." Levi says.
"So a part of Eren was conscious during it. How fascinating!" Hange shouts.
Ugh everyone loud. Levi thinks as he glares at Hange.
The screen goes dark again then. "The lift is ready! The guns too! They're all loaded!" Jean shouts.
"Huh what is this?" Ymir questions.
"Pretty sure when we attacked those titans so we can get our gas." Armin answers.
"NO! Ugh." Everyone stares at Sasha who sinking into her couch. She wasn't prepared for everyone to see her surrender to a titan.
"You just didn't know it. I'll tell you about it later." Mikasa tells him.
"Okay." Armin responds as she walks off.
"But seriously can we really kill them without our 3D gear?" Connie asks.
"Of course we can! These titan are only three or four meter tall. It easy to aim at there weak spot." Reiner responds confidently.
"Yea you guys got this!" Eren says.
"Your confidence is good for a situation like this." Mike tells him.
"Looks like Reiner getting comfortable playing the role as a scout." Porco says suspiciously.
"Annie and Bertholdt are with him." Magath says.
"Yea. Big or small, we'll strike from their heads to the base of their neck." Jean says.
"Our targets are one meter high! Ten centimetre wide!" Sasha says.
"Or maybe we could just stick this up their asses. That's their only other weakness." Reiner says while holding his sword upwards.
Everyone burst out laughing at Reiner comment.
"Maybe we should try it out." Hange says.
"Please no section commander." Moblit says as his face mortifies.
"I have no idea that works?" Connie says in confusion.
"This is the first I've heard of it, too," Sasha says.
"Did you guys actually believe that?" Christa asks while giggling to herself.
"It Connie and Sasha what you expect?" Ymir says.
"How was those two in the top ten?" Floch questions.
"Dude, Reiner! Those could end up being your last words, you know." Jean tells him.
"Those would be glorious last words." Hitch joked.
The lift goes down as titan walked around. "Good there numbers haven't increased." Marco says. They all reload there guns and aim it at the titans. "We're going ahead with the plan!"
Jean freezes when he hears his voice again. Maybe we'll find out what happened to him. The three warriors grew a frown on there faces.
"Guns?" Cis asks in confusion.
"We'll see what they'll do with them soon." Nile responds.
The titan begins to walk and then turns it head. "Calm down! Don't fire until we lure them all the way in!" Marco says as everyone begins shaking. The titan steps forward slowly. "Not yet."
People heart began to start beating faster even though they knew they would make it out.
"Even though I seen titans so many times they never fail to be creepy." Henning mutters.
"Avoid any premature attacks." Reiner thinks as he in a stance ready to attack.
We don't want to let a single one of us die!" Jean thinks as he watches the titan.
"We're gonna finish this off in one strike!" Connie thinks in determination.
"Steady..." The titan comes dangerously close. "Almost.."
"Man the anticipation killing me." Oruo says.
"Yea it's so suspenseful." Henning responds.
I see so that what they are doing. Erwin though realising their plan. It was a brilliant plan and he wanted to know who came up with it, they could be useful.
"Almost.." Marco moves his finger onto the trigger. "Fire!" He screams. All the guns shoot into the titans eyes. They all come out and jump on the titan aiming for their nape.
"Got it. How're you guys?" Mikasa asks as she turns her head to see Reiner and Jean successfully kill them. Sasha and Connie miss and they stare up at titan.
"Uh- I- uh- I'm sorry. I didn't." Sasha says while stepping back.
"Oh crap." Connie says.
"I didn't mean to sneak up on you."
"Ughhh definitely not my proudest moment." Sasha says as she feels herself die of shame.
"It fine I did just ask bad." Connie says as he places his hand on her shoulder.
"But I apologised to it!"
"You were freaking out it fine." Christa tells her.
"Yea it a titan of course your gonna lose your shit."
"Sasha and Connie missed!" Bertholdt yells in panic.
"Lead 'em the hell back!" Jean shouts.
"I- Oh, god." Sasha says with tears streaming down her face. "I said I was sorry!" The titan dives and she narrowly is able to avoid it. She looks up to see Mikasa jumping in and slicing the titan neck. At the same time, Annie comes out and slices the nape of the other titan and in the process saving Connie.
"Did Annie just risk her life to save her?" Porco says in disbelief.
"Yea she did. I supposed she grown to like them." Zeke says.
"What but there devils?!" Gabi shouts but she could feel a part of herself knowing it wasn't true.
"I don't know what I would've done without you Annie thanks." Connie tells her.
"Oh uh no problem." Annie tells him.
"That blonde girl also strong." Mike tells Erwin.
"Yea and they have a lot of potential cadets. Though it likely that some of them might be the colossal and armour titan." Erwin whispered that last part while watching the new cadets.
"Mikasa you saved my life!" She cries as she grabs her shirt.
"Are you ok?"
"Because of you I am!"
"Then get up." She tells her.
"Ugh I look so pathetic at this moment." Sasha says while burying her face in her hands.
"I don't think anyone cares." Christa tells her in comfort.
"I owe you one." Connie tells Annie.
"No worries." She responds back.
"By the skin of your teeth. You're damn lucky you didn't end up worse off." Annie just ignores Reiner and walks off.
"They're all dead! Start loading up supplies!" Jean tells the cadets.
"It worked!" Armin smiles. Marco almost faints from relief.
"By the way who came up with that plan?" Erwin asks them.
"Armin did." Mikasa says while smiling.
"I knew it!" Eren says as he puts his hand on his shoulder.
"He been smart ever since they been kids." Hannes says while smiling.
"That was a great plan. They managed to survive thanks to you." Erwin tells him.
"Oh- Uh thanks!" Armin says a little caught off guard.
"Yo you got complimented by the commander!" Connie says while hitting him on the back.
"Ow do you always have to hit me so hard?" Armin complains.
The scene shifts to all the cadets exiting with their odm gear refiled. "Mikasa?" Armin says as he see's Mikasa on the roof. "What're you doing? We have to leave now!" He tells her as he comes up.
"Look. Down there." Armin gasps as he see's the titan eating the rouge titan.
"Cannibalism?"
"Oh god." Eren says.
"Do the titan still know Eren is a human?" Nile asks.
The rouge titan lets out a weak roar. "Can it not regenerate like the others?"
"This may sound stupid, but I was hoping he'd be the key for us. That he'd help mankind break the cycle. Turn the tide just long enough to give us a little ray of hope." Mikasa says while staring at the titan.
Everyone glanced at Eren who was having a feeling or motivation and pressure.
"After watching this I feel the same way."
"She's right. He's too valuable to just let die. There's too much we can learn for him. I think it's perfectly clear our priority should be to ward the scavengers off him. He's no good to us picked apart." Reiner says.
"They've realised his importance." Magath says.
"I was being to think they betrayed us and forgot about their job." Porco admits.
"What? Reiner would never!" Gabi argues back.
"Are you out of your mind? We've got a path out of this nightmare and you wanna stay?" Jean yells at him.
"Think about it. Having an abnormal as an ally would be an incredible advantage, right? A cannon's got nothing on a titan who likes to rip apart his own kind." Annie says.
I didn't expect Annie would want to protect that titan. Armin thinks.
"You- Do you hear yourself? He's not like a new friend!" Jean shouts back. Armin turns his head in alarm. "Oh, no. It's the one that ate Thomas!"
The 104th frown when they remember their fallen friend.
The rouge titan begins roaring as running towards the titan who killed Thomas. He jumped at it and bit down at his nape. They all watch in shock.
"Eren emotions must've been so strong that even when he lost control he was still able to recognise the titan that killed his friend! How interesting." Hange says.
He lifts the abnormal up and using his mouth he throws it down on the ground and then to another titan.
What strength! He was still strong even though he was still healing. Erwin thinks in excitement.
Gabi began shaking as she saw the strength of the rouge titan.
"Holy-" Jean says as he watches in terror. The rouge titan lets out a roar. "What was that you were saying?" He collapses to the ground to there horror. "Cause I think it's a moot point now. Alright, enough of this! Let's leave while we can! We're lucky the ugly bastard didn't get bored. We'd have been next on the menu."
"If I heard you say that I would've ate you." Eren tells him.
"Well I probably do taste amazing." Jean says confidently.
"Maybe we can feed you to Hange titans." Eren snaps back.
"Ooo good idea." Hange joins in while laughing.
"Look, a Titan's a Titan-" The camera moves to the steam coming out of the rouge as Eren is laying in the nape.
"Huh that titan that boy we saw at the start?" Gabi says in shock.
"I knew it!" Zeke says.
"Yea I figured it out as well." Falco admits.
"What how?" Porco asks.
"I didn't believe he would die that early especially since we focus so much on him." Pieck tells him.
"I didn't expect he would become a solider after what happened." Magath admits.
Eren removes himself from the titan and looks up. Mikasa lets out a gasp and goes down as she see's Eren. She breaths heavily as she runs towards him.
She looks so hopeful. Christa thinks as she smiles.
She pulls Eren body in for a hug. After hugging him for a moment she puts her ear at his chest. As she hears his heart beat her eyes get filled with tears and she begins to cry.
A lot of people were surprised by this. Mikasa was so strong and they weren't used to seeing her cry.
"Imagine if he was dead and she was just hugging his dead body." Jean joked.
"I feel like I'm third wheeling." Eld says.
"Yea me too." Gunther says back.
"Aww this is such a sweet moment." Petra smiles at the scene.
"I can't imagine how glad she felt at that moment." Rico says.
"Wow Eren you made your girlfriend cry." Ymir teased him.
"Huh she not my girlfriend!" Eren shouts back.
"Then how come your blushing?" Connie asks.
"Shut up it cause your embarrassing me!" Eren snaps back while Mikasa avoids eye contact.
"I will never understand why she is so attach to him." Levi says. "Anyways I thought we were here to watch the future." Suddenly the screen darkens then lights up to Armin on his horse
