(With Annie)
Annie watched as Titans made their way through the city, devouring people. All she could do was hope that Eren was ok, god she hoped he was. Reiner and Bertholdt were interrogating Marco.
"Guys back off of Marco." Annie said, pulling Reiner back.
"No, Marco did you see anything?!"
"I swear I didn't!" Marco cried out.
"Liar..."
"Reiner calm the hell down." Annie tried her best to sustain him.
"Annie..."
What surprised her was that Reiner slapped her. "What the hell!?"
"You are the softest out of us! You never wanna contribute to anything we do!"
"Shut up! I was dragged into this-"
Marco tried to run away but Reiner pinned him down. "You heard all that huh?"
"No!" Marco struggled against his hold.
Annie couldn't just watch this, she moved forward and trued to take down Reiner like before but he saw through her and pushed her away.
"Ha. Your takedown don't work." Reiner boasted.
"What the hell..."
"You becoming soft Annie! Where's that cold blooded woman Bertholdt loved!?"
"Reiner!" Bertholdt yelled. "Stop!"
"Prove you are one of us and take his gear Annie."
"What?" Annie asked, shocked at the request.
Reiner beat Marco to the floor of the roof they were on. "He can't fight, go ahead."
Annie slowly made her way over and took off Marcos gear. Marco's tears dropping fast down his face as he was helpless to stop her. They made their way away from the scene and watched as a Titan ate Marco.
Annie couldn't help but cry and so did Bertholdt. Reiner looked serious at first but then his expression softened.
"Guys...how...why is Marco getting eaten?"
A few cadets came flying back and the three made their way to group with everyone.
"Reiner...what now?" Annie asked.
"We wait till something happens."
"Armin?" Ymir asked as she walked over. "Hey Blondie, where's your squad?"
Armin didn't answer, he looked down with his eyes covered by his hair. Mikasa pushed Ymir away, looking down at him.
"Armin, are you ok? Where's Eren and everyone else?" Mikasa asked.
Armin looked up, his eyes in tear. "Thomas Wagner...Nac Tais... Mylius...Zeramuski...Mina Carolina...Eren Jaeger...all gave their lives in heroic battles for the good of mankind."
"His whole squad...gone..." Connie said shocked himself.
That one name alone her hard. Annie couldn't believe it Eren was dead. The guy she poured her feelings out to, her first kiss was gone. Her heart beat faster as she had trouble keeping her balance. Breathing became a problem for her as she collapsed on the roof.
"Annie!" Bertholdt kneeled down. "Calm down calm down!"
"Mikasa...Eren died protecting me...I tried..." Armin started to say.
"Armin..." Mikasa said, grabbing his hand. "It's ok, we can't let this get us down.
"Huh...?"
She rose up and drew her sword. "You all are weak, I'm stronger than all of you combined. I'll take down those Titans myself."
Mikasa shot her hooks and went away, using all her gas.
Annie blacked out before she could even see what happened next. She felt empty as she was in laying in darkness. Faces of dead people, bad memories and death happening surrounded her dreams. Annie woke up later next to Jean, Reiner, Armin and Mikasa.
"Why can't I be happy for once?" Annie thought as she sat up.
"Annie!" Armin yelled as he kneeled. "You ok?"
"Yeah, just felt light headed."
"Well don't worry, we are fine."
"How?"
"That guy!" Connie yelled out as he pointed at a Titan beating other Titans. "I don't know what's up with him but screw it! He's killing all of them!"
"Yeah, then when he's done, we are next." Jean said doubting.
"He showed no interest in us." Mikasa stated.
Annie could tell that Eren dying hit her hard, she could only read one emotion on her face. Pain. Annie watched as the Titan tackled another one and punched it's head off then getting up to uppercut another.
"God..." Jean said to himself.
"Mikasa." Annie said, standing up next to her.
"What?"
"Cut the act."
"What do you mean?"
"You want to break down and cry, get it our your system."
Mikasa glared at Annie. "Shut up."
"Oh shit, he's getting weaker." Connie stated.
The Rogue Titan collapsed against a building as Titans starting to feast on him. Iy let out a silent cry which for some reason, made Annie wanna go to it.
"A titan eating another titan?" Annie questioned.
"Cannibalism." Mikasa said quietly. "That's horrible."
"So...that titan was a abnormal."
"It's weird, it's more muscular and fit than other titans, smarter too." Armin stated with his thinking face. "And it knows how to fight like a human and parry attacks and blocking. Most titan's don't do..."
"What Armin?"
"That's the titan that ate Thomas..."
"Oh god..." Reiner said.
The Rogue titan awakened with anger as It crawled over to the titan that ate Thomas and bit its neck, killing it by ramming it's teeth in it's nape. It collapsed on to it's stomach and started to form steam.
"Guess he's out of Gas." Jean stated. "That's dumb-"
"We have to protect it." Mikasa said, drawing her blade. "If that titan is fighting for us, then there must be more like it, we have to find them-"
"You really think a titan would just let us capture it and use it for our own purposes?"
"What other choice do we have? We lost a whole damn squad."
Annie never seen Mikasa so persistent.
"Look, a titan fighting for us, that shit haven't happen in decades from what I know." Jean staretd walking off. "A titan fighting for us, what type of dumb crap is that?"
"Guys look, something is coming out that titan's neck." Connie said and pointed.
Annie watched as a figure emerged from the titan's body. Eren came out, his eyes closed, skin a bit pale and lips blue. Mikasa hurried and left the roof top, hugging Eren in her as she cried. She picked him up and hugged him on the rooftop. Everyone wasshocked at this.
"So Eren...did all this?" Reiner said as he looked off the rooftop.
"How..." Armin asked, grabbed Eren's arm. "I saw...his arm get bit off...and his leg too...they grew back..."
"What does this mean?"
Eren eyes opened a bit, his gaze locked on to Annie. "I told you...I would live." He gave a small smile.
