Chapter 1 The Other Side of the Sea
Everyone is already gathered around the TV after a week of resting. After the 10 of them are sitting in front of them, Ray comes to them and sighs, "Hello everyone, welcome back to this place, and I hope you're ready."
Erwin notices the stressed look on Ray's face, and he asks, "Are you alright? You don't seem to be fine..."
"Yeah, I'm just stressed." Ray says, "However, I'm going to bring three more people to watch with you guys."
"Three more people? Who is it?" Historia asks with surprise.
Just then, when the door opens, everyone is shocked to see Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie. Jean growls and says, "What are they doing here?"
Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie are also surprised to see the others in the same room. Reiner, having a split personality, asks, "Hey, what is going on here? Where am I and what is going on?"
Ray says, "You're here because I invited you, and we're going to watch the future. I know all of you might be enemies, but I don't want any of the fighting here."
"Whatever, at least I'm not going to stay in the crystal." Annie says.
"Why you..." As the 104th corps are angry, Eren suddenly shows a cool tone and says, "Enough."
This causes everyone to look at them with surprise. Mikasa asks, "Eren? What are you..."
"Thanks to Ray here, we already know everything about what Marley did to them, let's just watch together and see what's going on." Eren says.
"I guess you're right about that." Armin says.
"Tch. Fine, but we'll still going to watch you guys..." Levi says.
The three of them then decide to sit beside Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. Ray says, "Since we have three more people joining us, starting from this episode, things are going into a dark turn."
"What do you mean by that?" Bertolt asks, "What is going to happen?"
"In the previous season, Bertolt and Commander Erwin are already dead." Ray says, and Bertolt frowns as Armin mutters, "I'm sorry."
"But in this season, we're going on a time skip for four years later. Paradis Island is a mess, a lot of you are going to betray a lot of people. Compared to what Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie did, it will become worse."
This causes everyone to gasp in shock. Armin asks, "Is that real?"
Eren sighs, "Considering I have 8 years left to live, I guess I would be able to see my death, huh?"
"No! That can't be!" Mikasa yells with tears in her eyes.
"Wait, you know about the curse already?" Annie asks.
"We know a lot already." Erwin replies. "About the Founding Titan, about Marley, and a lot of things."
Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie can only nod in silence, and Ray says, "I hope you guys are ready."
Everyone looks nervous, but nonetheless, they are ready to start the episode.
Blue skies appeared, with some crows flying past. "Hey..." A weak voice said.
A young boy was lying on the ground, blood on his head. He stretched an arm to the sky. He was wearing a white uniform and a yellow armband.
"Who is he?" Historia asks, "And is he fine?"
Reiner widens his eyes and says, "That's Falco!"
"Falco? Someone you know?" Hange asks.
"Yeah... he is an Eldian living in Liberio like us." Reiner says.
"I thought that the Eldians living in Liberio have grey armbands, why is it yellow?" Armin asks.
Ray says, "As you can see from Dr. Yeager's armbands, grey means civilian, yellow means warrior candidate, and red means warriors who have inherited a titan."
"Since he's yellow, so he's a warrior candidate." Eren says.
"Wait, he's a Warrior Candidate?" Annie is surprised to hear that.
"It's dangerous here..." The boy muttered. Around him, a lot of soldiers are lying dead.
"Look at all those dead people..." Connie gasps.
"So it seems they're having a war." Bertolt says.
"Since it's Marley, and we're their enemies, right? Do you think either of us kills them?" Sasha asks.
Everyone tenses up, especially Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie. Ray says, "Don't worry, they're not fighting you guys. They're fighting another enemy..."
"I see...Marley has a lot of enemies." Bertolt says.
"Fly away..." A man was sent flying away by an explosion. "...somewhere... far away."
A young man stood over him and yelled, "Falco!"
"Huh? What's my brother doing here?" Falco wondered.
"Good! You're still talking!" Falco's brother said while putting the hat on him.
"Colt!" A soldier ran past and shouted at him, but he was shot in the end.
Colt put Falco on his back and said, "Time to run! Hold on!"
A machine gun shot several bullets at Colt and the others, who were trying to run away.
"What the...that thing could shoot multiple bullets in a short amount of time?" Hange asks with interest.
Everyone is also in awe at the sight of the weapon, but Levi just narrows his eyes.
Annie asks, "You said that this is happening after 4 years, right? Why are we watching Colt and Falco?"
"Because Falco might be important in this season." Ray replies.
Two of the soldiers beside Colt were shot. Colt screamed as they continue running, but he fell before they were by their war trench.
"Falco!" Luckily, a soldier by their side grabbed Falco into the war trench.
"I'm glad they're safe for now." Historia says.
"Yeah, but that means they might be fighting us in the future..." Armin frowns.
Two soldiers approached Colt. "Colt? Status report?"
Colt was panting heavily. "It was a direct hit. The Eldian unit at the front got blown away."
"And the trench?"
"It's hopeless! We can't dig any farther!"
"We can't? You're calling the shots? An Eldian, giving orders?"
"Hey! He didn't give any orders!" Jean yells.
"Yeah, he just explained the situation!" Connie adds.
Reiner sighs, "I'm glad you think so, however, that's how Marley does. Commander Magath is already nicer compared to others."
"So I guess you know him as well." Erwin asks.
"He's probably the Commandant Shadis in our Warrior Training." Bertolt replies.
"Watch your tone with Commander Magath, you mutt!" The soldier behind Magath yelled.
"But.. at this rate..." Three young kids were standing in front of Falco, looking worried and serious.
"Falco, are you drunk?" The girl on the right asked him.
"He must've hit his head good." The girl in the middle stated.
"Do you remember this war we've been in for four years?" The boy on the left asked him.
"Who... are you guys?" Flaco asked with pain and confusion. "Wait... Huh? Wasn't I flying around with a sword just now? Like, whoosh! And there were Titans that I-"
"What is he talking about? Titans?" Sasha asks.
"Did they also use Titans in the war as well?" Hange asks.
"You'll have to see about that." Ray says.
Reiner notices one of the girls and says, "Wait, that girl over there, is she..."
"A relative or yours, Reiner?" Eren asks.
"If you're wondering, the other three are Gabi, Udo, and Zofia. Gabi is Reiner's cousin. Like Falco, they are Warrior Candidates. However..."
Noticing Ray's frown, Armin asks, "Some of them are going to die?"
Ray only gives a small nod, she can't bring up the fact that one of the people watching the show is going to be the one who killed Udo and Zofia in the future. Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie are also shocked as they really don't want them to die.
Gabi splashed water on his head. "Guess I'll just have to explain everything from the start. Listen up good, Falco. This battle is the climax of a war that's lasted four years."
A crow flew across the land towards a Fort. "If we can take out Fort Slava... Well, technically, if we can sink the Mid-East Allied Forces in this port...it'll spell victory for Marley and end the war."
The scene changed to Fort Slava with soldiers walking around. "But unless we take out Fort Slava sitting on the high ground, it's hopeless to attack the port."
Udo and Zofia were treating Falco's wounds. "Why can't the Marley fleet just do it?"
"Seriously, Zofia?! You have faith in the fleet?! It took those imbeciles four years to control the seas!" Udo yelled at her while squeezing the bandages around Falco's head tightly.
"Poor Falco." Historia chuckles a little.
Connie and Sasha join her until Levi's glare tells them to shut up.
"And guess what?! They lost half their damn ships doing it! Now they're telling us they're too chicken to attack till we take the fort?! Screw 'em all! They're pricks!"
Gabi sighed as she lightly hit him on the head. "Udo, you're gonna squeeze Falco's head off."
Udo let go of Falco sheepishly. "Whoops! Sorry!"
Falco held his head with a hand. "So what's the deal? Why'd they send us Warrior candidates to the front lines?"
"To judge us, obviously." Gabi said to him. "To pick which one of us will be the next Warrior."
"I still think it is wrong to let them fight in a war in this age." Armin says. "We wouldn't become cadets until we're 12..."
"But we're Eldians, and the Marley government doesn't care about that." Annie replies.
"The time is coming. Commander Magath chose the front lines to be our final test. He knows what's on the horizon."
In the sky, there is an airship. "The plan to conquer Paradis needs the main player - the successor of the Armored Titan!" Reiner was sitting in the airship.
"Wait, I'm also in this?" Reiner asks in surprise.
"Looks like you changed a lot." Sasha says.
"So you finally returned to your home." Armin adds. "It's sad that Bertolt and Annie couldn't come with you."
Bertolt is still confused as to what happened to him, but he decides to say nothing, and Annie is glaring at Reiner, after four years, it seems she is still trapped in the crystal.
Many soldiers were sitting in the war trench, Falco looked down at his hands. "The Armored Titan..."
"I wonder which one of us it'll be..." Gabi said with a smirk.
"Really, Gabi? Sounds to me like you're saying none of us come close to you." Falco turned to her.
"Because you don't, right?" she replied.
"Well, Gabi does have us beat." Zofia said. She and Udo were packings bags. "As far as our grades go." he said.
"No. There's more to it than grades, Udo." They looked at Gabi. "I keep telling you. The difference between us is that I'm prepared. To shoulder the fate of us Eldians...and to slaughter that island of devils who've done nothing but make us suffer!"
"Damn it... looks like we have another suicidal bastard..." Jean mutters.
Eren seems to be offended and Ray says, "I have to agree with Jean, Gabi is kinda similar to Eren."
Eren turns to Reiner and asks, "Isn't Gabi your cousin?"
"Well, yeah... but I didn't realize the similarities... so either one of them is going to take my Titan power after 13 years is up, huh? Considering I only have 1 year left."
"I'm gonna win this battle and prove that the Eldians left in this world are good Eldians!" She was tying hand grenades together into one big grenade. "I refuse to lose till I free everyone from the internment zone!"
"Um, what exactly are you doing?" Falco asked.
"Pretty cool, right?" She held it in her hands and grinned proudly.
"It won't work, Commander Magath!" Colt and Magath walked nearby the kids. "We can't destroy the railroad without the machine gun slaughtering us first. They've got soldiers along every inch of the trench. To top it off, the Fort can bombard us whenever they want. If we stay here too long, they'll just shower us with shells!"
"Do you have a better idea, Colt?" Magath asked.
"We should let Jaw and Cart loose. Galliard and Pieck will get it done. They'll wipe out the trench and bunker in a flash."
"So Galliard has the Jaw Titan and Pieck is the Cart Titan?" Armin asks.
"Yeah. And I'm sorry to say this, Christa, but Ymir was eaten by Galliard." Reiner says to Historia. "Considering Galliard's younger brother was the one who Ymir ate to get the Jaws Titan."
"Call me Historia, that's my real name." Historia says. "And I already saw the letter."
How ironic. She ate his brother and got eaten by the other brother. Levi thinks.
"No. If we play our cards wrong, we lose."
A soldier who was observing the enemy with a binocular turned to Magath. "Commander Magath, 'that' showed up."
"What's 'that'?" Colt asked.
Magath looked through the binoculars. "That. An armored train. It's equipped with four massive cannons in total. They're the Allied Forces' new weapon - anti-Titan cannons."
The train was shown, driving along the war trench on the railroad.
"What is that thing?" Hange asks while holding the TV. Levi drags her and says, "Four-eyes, you're hogging the TV again. It's disgusting."
"Well, it's an armored train. It drives on rails. But a normal train looks different than that. It can transport passengers from one place to another." Ray says. "And I'm sure that you will be able to have one in Paradis."
"Really? That will be easier for us." Eren says.
"If one of those 150mm rounds hits a Titan, it'll kill it in a single hit. Even one of the Nine." Magath said.
"Nine? There is Attack Titan, Founding Titan, Armored Titan, Colossal Titan, Female Titan, Beast Titan, Jaw Titan, and Cart Titan... what is the last one?" Hange asks.
"The Warhammer Titan." Annie says, "It is probably the second strongest Titan."
"We'll see about that in the upcoming episodes." Ray says.
"But both of our Titans are incredibly fast. The odds of being hitting their nape-" Colt suggested.
Magath cut him off. "And if they did?"
"We would lose a Titan and a Warrior..." Colt answered. "...with no guarantee that we get their powers back."
"That's right. Just like our plan nine years ago to retake the Founding Titan Titan resulted in us losing the Colossal and Female Titan. The perceived hit to Marley's military might is what sparked this war, putting the Paradis Island Operation on hold. What is it that makes our motherland Marley so great?" Magath asked him.
"Nothing if you ask me." Jean scoffs.
"For once I have to agree with you." Annie adds.
"They are selfish bastards." Eren says.
"The Power of the Titans." He answered.
"Correct. Our nation won't last if we keep losing them. The Power of the Titans is absolute, and it must always remain that way." Magath turned to a soldier behind him. "Prepare the Eldian unit for attack!"
"He's sending them on a suicide mission." Armin says with wide eyes.
"But we've been doing the same thing." Erwin reminds them.
"But this is different. It is because of their deaths that we're able to learn the truth." Connie says. "But those soldiers will die without care."
"Yes, sir!"
"Commander Magath! But that's-" Colt began, but he was cut off.
"What's the matter, Eldian?" He asked. "Are you not warriors who swore loyalty to Marley? This is a chance for the 800 Eldians here...to serve our motherland with honor."
Terrified Eldians were sitting on the ground. "All creatures drink of joy at nature's breast.." One soldier whispered to himself.
The soldier beside Magath yelled, "Everyone up! Prepare to attack!"
They stood up, and one of them helped another soldier to stand. "Come on! Stand up!"
"Eldians! Your mission is to assault and destroy the enemy railroad! The suicide squad will rush to the bunker and disable the machine gun!"
One soldier was kissing a locket, another one trembled with fear. "Listen up! Let your actions purge the disgrace of being the spawn of the devil! This is your chance to be honored by our great motherland Marley! Prove yourselves worthy!"
Many of them won't make it. Mikasa narrowed her eyes at the screen.
"Coward..." Eren mutters at the man in front of them.
"Yes, sir!"
Magath turned to the kids. "You Warrior candidates are to stand by. The 800-strong Eldian unit must destroy the rail at whatever cost. As long as that armored train is patroling the Fort, the Armored and Beast Titan can't do what they came for."
Colt looked down. "But..."
Magath put his fist on his chest. "Colt. As the chosen successor of the Beast Titan, learn what it means to lead already." Falco frowned.
The train came around the corner, it was nearby the bunker with the machine gun.
Magath observed it. "Perfect. We can destroy the train, too."
Gabi approached him. "Please, let me take a shot at it!"
"What?" Everyone can't believe what they're hearing.
"She is just a kid...Is she crazy?" Historia asks.
"I know Gabi wants to do that, but this is..." Reiner gasps.
Magath turned to her, "Huh?"
She held up her big grenade. "Ta-da! If you'll let me I can disable the armored train all on my own!"
"Hey, Gabi!" Falco protested.
"How much do you think Marley's spent training you all these years? Hell no!" Magath denied.
"It's true..." she said. "I am exceptional compared to Falco and the others. There may never be another Warrior as talented as I am. Not to mention this cute."
Falco's and the other two's faces fell at that, not amused by that. "But if I succeed, we won't lose the whole Unit of 800 Eldians!"
"And if you fail?" Magath asked her.
"You lose just one promising candidate and seven hand grenades."
He stared at her, not saying anything.
Gabi's eyes widened. "If you think, I'm more valuable than 800 soldiers, I totally understand." She hugged the grenade. "You love me so much that you'd rather sacrifice the lives of 800 Eldians over me-"
"So manipulative..." Sasha gasps.
"She knows that the Commander would say no...so that's why..." Armin says.
She's good. Erwin thinks.
"Fine." He closed his eyes. "Go ahead."
"Gabi, don't-" Falco protested again.
"I swear! I will prove to you that I'm worthy of inheriting the Armored Titan!" she promised.
Falco's eyes widened in worry and looked to the side, with a small blush forming on his face.
Sasha grins, "Aww. He likes her."
"Are you sure? I think it is just the same way that Mikasa looked at Eren..." Connie says.
Mikasa blushes after hearing what Connie said, and Jean just grunts as to why Mikasa wouldn't do that to him instead.
"You know Gabi and Falco?" Bertolt asks Reiner.
"I don't know, it has been 3 years since I saw them and they were still young children." Reiner says.
Gabi stripped down to her underwear as Magath asked, "What are you doing?"
"For this to succeed..." she began and held up her uniform. "...please allow me to remove my armband."
"Very well." he agreed.
The others looked at Gabi worried.
In the enemy's bunker, two soldiers were holding a rifle and a machine gun.
"Hey, something's coming this way." One of them noticed. The other looked through the binocular of the machine gun and saw Gabi slowly walking towards them, with her arms in the air.
"Are they going to shoot her?" Historia asks.
"I don't think they will actually shoot now that the armband is off her." Armin says.
"It's a woman. Girl, actually. I think she's surrendering."
"No, wait. She might be Eldian."
"It looks like something's wrong with her. She's dragging her leg."
Gabi's foot was shown. The grenade's ribbon was around her ankle and dragged it behind her.
"What if she's Eldian? Shoot her before she turns into a Titan."
"Screw that. If you wanna shoot her, you do it!"
The man with the rifle sighed and aimed at her. "Shit."
Gabi tripped and fell down to the ground.
"She just tripped..." Connie says.
"Is she doing it on purpose?" Levi asks.
"What the-?" Gabi pulled the grenade off her ankle, carefully so that the soldiers didn't see it. She looked up at the armored train.
Wait... Gabi thought. The train was getting closer. Her grip on the ribbon tightened. Wait for it!
As the train is getting closer, she thinks, Wait.
"She ain't moving." The soldier said.
"Who cares? Shoot her!"
The train was seconds away from the bunker. Gabi stood up and swung the grenade. "Now's my chance!" she yelled and threw it on the railroad, in front of the train. It rolled under it and exploded. The train fell into the bunker, where the soldiers were hidden.
"She actually did it." Jean gasps.
"It was still risky and dangerous." Annie frowns.
"She really did it!" A soldier gasped.
"Galliard! Hurry up!" Magath ordered.
Gabi jumped up and cheered happily and began to run back. One of the soldiers survived and reached for the machine gun. "Damn it! You Marleyan cowards!"
Gabi looked back and saw the soldier aimed at her. "This is why you bastards... all deserve to die!"
The soldier fired the gun, and Gabi ran as fast as she could.
"Gabi!" Falco yelled and ran towards her.
"What is he thinking?" Eren gasps.
"Idiot." Levi muttered.
"Definitely what Mikasa would do when Gabi was Eren this whole time." Sasha says.
"Falco, don't!" Colt yelled.
They ran toward each other and jumped into a pit, to be safe from the bullets. Suddenly the bullets bounced off of something. They looked up and saw the Jaw Titan hovering over them. He looked down at them.
"What the... is that the Jaw Titan?" Armin asks.
"It really looks different than Ymir's!" Historia gasps.
"He looks also bigger than her. Look at his face and these claws!" Hange grins madly. "I wonder what the Jaw Titan can still do."
"So that's Porco, huh... good thing he manages to get the Titan." Annie says.
Reiner frowns as it is noticed by Connie. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Reiner says. "Let's just watch."
"Galliard! Huh?!" Gabi and Falco looked at each other, confused. Falco's arm was around her.
Sasha giggles. "Aw, how cute."
The Jaw Titan ran towards the machine gun in zig-zag. The soldier screamed while shooting at it, only to fail as the Jaw Titan took him out with just a struck with his claw.
The airship was near the Fort and a soldier said, "The armored train has been disabled."
People were hanging in bags and they seemed dazed.
Eren asks, "What's up with these people? Why are they in bags?"
Armin's eyes widen in horror. They wouldn't do that, would they?
Hange tilts her head with confusion. "Huh?" Then a realization hits her. "Oh my god..."
"What is it, Four-Eyes?" Levi asks.
"I think... those people are paralyzed and dazed, and Marley is going to drip them onto their enemies and turn them into Titans at the same time!"
Everyone feels sick at the thought and Eren glares, "Bastards..."
Bertolt says, "But that's really common for Marley..."
"We'll now commence the airbone assault. Remember stick to the plan." Zeke was looking out of a window. "Zeke will be our spear.." Reiner stared ahead. "...and Reiner will be our shield."
Eren still stares at the screen, Zeke... He remembered how he betrays his father even though he is a half-brother of his. Not to mention that Zeke's mother is also the one who eats his mother.
"Looks like your brother is also doing quite well, huh?" Mikasa says.
"Wait, you mean Zeke and Eren are related?" Bertolt asks.
"Zeke is my half-brother." Eren says, "He betrayed my Dad and that's why he was in Paradis."
Soldiers screamed in pain. Another two machine guns were shooting at them. Eldians were screaming, charging toward the enemy. A soldier was climbing up on a pile of bodies. He looked up afraid of the massacre before him.
The Jaw Titan charged along the trench and killed as many soldiers as possible. It bit down on the railroad, destroying it. The Cart Titan appeared with machine guns on its back. It had a metal plate on its face, for safety.
Connie gulps. "Well, that is new."
Mikasa narrows her eyes. And again, they were at disadvantage.
"Just how many inventions do you have?" Jean complains. "At this rate, we didn't stand a chance against them."
"Compared to Marley and other nations, Paradis is really behind." Reiner replies.
It destroyed a bunker where soldiers were hiding beneath it. Eldian soldiers came and shoot them. Back to the kids, Falco and Gabi were back in their trench. Gabi got dressed again.
"Damn, that hurts!" A Marleyan soldier said. Udo and Zofia took care of his wounds. "Why'd a Marleyan like me get shot at?"
Falco dragged a wounded enemy soldier the trench down. "What are you doing, Falco?" Gabi asked him. He leaned him against the wall.
"You Eldians are supposed to soak up the bullets." The Marleyan soldier complained.
They glared at the man. "This guy makes me sick." "Yeah...he deserved it."
"Can't you tell?" Falco asked her. "He's in no shape to fight us anymore." He turned to Udo. "Udo, gimme a tourniquet." Udo handed it over to him. "Here."
"Stupid kids. Screw the enemy." The soldier complained again.
"Is that supposed to be your selling point?" Gabi asked Falco. "You really think obeying the laws of war will earn you the spot of the Armored Titan? It's not gonna help, you know."
"Is that the only thing she cares about? He's just trying to help." Jean asks annoyed.
"Like I care."
"Weirdo."
The enemy soldier was talking weakly in a foreign language.
"He's saying something." Falco said. Udo turned to him, frowning. A second later he looked away again.
"Interpret, Udo. Say I stopped his bleeding and that he'll be fine-" Falco said to him, but was cut off when Udo translated what he was saying. "'Don't touch me.' 'I'll be tainted.' 'You devil' he says."
The Marleyan soldier laughed at them.
"It's not funny, idiot." Eren grumbles.
A flare was shot in the sky. The Jaw Titan turned to look at it. Eldian soldiers were running back to their side. "Retreat!" "Hurry up!" "Get away from the fort!" "Don't get caught in it!"
Gabi looked up at the airship. "It's begun." she whispered.
The flap of the airship opened. The people in the bags were dropped with parachutes on their backs, which opened immediately.
Everyone tenses at the scene, since they're going to do it. Eren glares at the screen, Those guys shouldn't have been living in this world.
The soldiers in the Fort were looking up at it in wonder. One of them pointed at it. Reiner stood at the entrance and held up a knife. Zeke walked up next to him and cleared his throat. "Ahem!" Then he began to scream loudly, causing the people in the bags to turn into Titans. Golden Lighting lit up the sky.
The kids were looking at it. Multiple Titans were falling from the sky and ended up spreading up around and in the Fort.
"They did it!" Armin gasps.
Everyone except for Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, Levi, Hange, Erwin, Eren, and Mikasa is not feeling well after seeing the sight. Good thing Ray prepared a lot of buckets for them in advance.
"How were you guys so calm with this?" Armin asks.
"Maybe because we're used to it." Reiner says.
The soldiers stood frozen on the spot. A Titan stood up and stared down at them. Behind it, the other Titans were standing up, too. It grabbed one of them and brought him to its mouth. "No! Stop!" he begged. But it was no use. Several other soldiers got eaten, too.
"Truly devils..." The Marleyan soldier said. "Our Marleyan ancestors were eaten, just like that. By you Eldians." The kids stayed silent and stared.
They glared at him. "Like you're anything better!" "Bastard!"
"Fire!" Several Titans were shot in the neck by anti-Titan cannons.
Reiner glided down with his parachute. "The kinetic bombardment went well, but due to the altitude half died on impact. A lot of the anti-Titan cannons are still operational. Twenty-eight... Twenty-nine... And now I know their locations. But still..."
He stared down at the wall, as it changed into Wall Maria. "More walls?" He narrowed his eyes. He placed the knife in his palm. "I'm sick and tired... of walls."
He sliced his palm and transformed it into his Titan form. He landed on the wall, destroying it.
The soldiers aimed the cannons at him. "It's the Armored!"
"Kill it!"
Reiner ran along the Wall, destroying the cannons and killing the soldiers.
More cannons were aimed at him. "Fire!"
He turned around, raising his arms to protect his face. The shells pierced through his arm and shoulder. "Anti-Titan shells that penetrate even my armor?"
"So they're just like our Lightning Spears..." Hange said. "If we can learn how to use them..."
"Lightning Spears?" Reiner asks, "What is that?"
The others flinch as Eren says, "There's no point in hiding, we manage to create a weapon to break through your armor, and we also watched how we managed to defeat you with that."
Reiner shivers a little, and Jean asks, "Hey, why are you telling me this?"
"Since we're on the same room, maybe after watching all of these, we don't need to fight each other again."
"I see..." Armin says.
Suddenly his arm was shot off and he fell to the ground. "What the-? What hit me?"
Another armored train was driving up the railroad in the Fort.
"An armored train? There's another ?" He dodged the incoming shells, ran towards the train, and rammed it, destroying it. He landed in front of anti-Titan cannons. His eyes widened. "Shit!"
The soldiers in front of him were suddenly killed by the Jaw Titan. "Galliard!"
"You son of a whore!" A soldier screamed but was killed by Galliard immediately. Galliard dodged the shells, which were shot at him.
Reiner used the armored train as a shield to protect himself. He screamed loudly, turned in a circle, and slammed the train on the cannons and soldiers.
"Nice." He looked around. "It's done."
"Well, that was quick." Connie states.
Zeke came down with his parachute. Reiner waved him down.
"They got it under control?" He placed a knife in his palm. "Our defeat brought about this war, Reiner." he said and transformed. Golden Lightning lit up the sky again.
The kids were still watching. Zeke landed behind Reiner. "Isn't war a terrible thing?" He grasped shells off the ground and walked in the direction of the sea. He prepared himself to throw them put to the ships in the water.
"Not this again..." Eren mutters.
Erwin winces as it is the reason why he was killed in the previous episodes.
"Finally... With this, the war will be over." Udo said relieved.
Zeke threw the shells at the ships, but the cannons on the ships were shooting at him back, immediately.
"Huh? What?" Reiner pushed him aside at the last moment before he could get hit. Reiner was hit by the shells. The ships also got hit by Zeke's shells.
Reiner fell weakly to the ground and Zeke threw more shells at the ships again. Completely destroying the fleet.
"With their fleet destroyed, the Mid-East Allied Forces signed a peace treaty with Marley." Ray said. "The war spanning four years ended in a Marleyan victory."
Zeke turned to Reiner. "But as the world learned that the era of Titan domination was coming to an end, Marley was pressed to obtain the Founding Titan as quickly as possible."
"Oh no..." Gabi whispered.
The victory of Marley was published in the newspaper. "Thanks to the incredible bravery of the Marley army, Fort Slava has fallen at last!" a man read the newspaper aloud.
Everyone is furious as Connie yells, "They're just taken the credit for what the Eldians did!"
"Yeah, and they were so brave!" Jean says sarcastically.
"They didn't even do anything, all they did was watch us Eldians die!" Historia says with anger.
"I feel sorry for all of you, Reiner." Connie says.
"Thanks..." Bertolt says.
"Unbelievable!" The citizens cheered loudly.
"That's the Marley army for you!"
A man in a black suit and a black hat was buying a newspaper. He had a beard and a long face. His face remained hidden. He walked down the street.
"Wait, that hair color... is that Jean?" Armin asks.
"What? Me?" Jean asks.
"Even though it looks like a horse face, there is a beard..." Connie says.
"But why am I doing there?" Jean asks.
"Maybe we're going to infiltrate Marley?" Eren asks. "Considering their attitude, maybe we're going to save the Eldians from Marley?"
Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie flinch, if that's possible, does that mean they are going to destroy their hometown just like how they did to Trost and Shiganshina?
"I'm not sure, we can only find out in the next episode." Levi says.
And this is the first episode of Season 4, I hope you like it.
