Flashback

A day before

"When we leave the gates DO NOT ENGAGE the titans leave that to the Garrison they are responsible for cleanup, if you see a titan well you better hope you don't…"

A soldier raised his hands. He was prompted to speak, "With all due respect commander, why fight them head on when they can utilize the wall mounted cannons?"

"It's too close to the wall and may damage the roadway making it harder for our horses to traverse."

Kazuto raised his hand, "Yes, Kazuto?" The whole room was shocked. Akihiko didn't usually refer to anyone by name unless he knew them or if they were an important individual.

"Why don't we engage them? I mean besides us newbies you guys have more experience with titan combat than the garrison…" A garrison soldier coughed "...I mean no disrespect to them, without them we wouldn't have a defense."

"I see your point, there is one thing we don't have…" Kazuto gave him a confused look "...which is gas, sure we are going to have five mobile gas tanks but they are not to be used unless there is an absolutely emergency…" He understood and felt dumb. "...once you run out of gas you're f- dead out there." A couple of veteran soldiers snickered at him but stopped when Kayaba glared their way.

"Now the garrison will explain their part, Seijrou will take it away."

He cleared his throat, "My name is Seijirou Kikuoka, current commander of the Garris-."

"Yeah yeah," A man with wavy long blond hair sarcastically said Kikuoka was annoyed at this soldier and this wasn't the first time. "Kayaba…I have a soldier who wants to trans-"

"No I'm sorry, I won't interrupt you again please."

"Antinous, let's have a chat after this meeting ok?" he gave a devilish smile as he pressed his hands together. He gulped in fear.

He went back to a neutral expression and cleared his throat…

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted…" He put his hands behind him in an at-ease position "I have a formed a temporary squad under Sergeant Fanatio Mifune made up of volunteers who will assist with the the clearing of the Individuals are Corporal Rika Shinozaki, Private Sai Yukitsugu and Alice Zuberg."

At this Eugeo perked up but didn't say anything.

A few minutes before they were lined up,

"Alice, I thought you were going to be on the cannons?"

"I am but I decided to help."

"BUT IT'S DANGEROUS YOU COULD LOSE YOUR LIFE"

"Hypocrite."

"What how-"

"You're saying it's dangerous, but look at you.." She was angry with him and was on the verge of tears. "..joining the scouts yet berating me for putting my life on the li-" Suddenly the bell chimed, notifying that the scouts should be ready to leave by next bell. "We'll talk later." She angrily strutted away.

I keep fucking up..

Eugeo was on his horse ready to go.

"ATTENTION THE 57TH EXPEDITION NOW BEGINS!"

It was time now to embark, he noticed Kouichirou nodding at Itsuki. Weird, people usually wave to say goodbye

The scouts left the gate and entered what used to be a safe place 5 years ago. As they were exiting the district, the atmosphere suddenly became very suspenseful. Who knows a Titan could be waiting for you at the next corner waiting to gobble you up like a thanksgiving dinner.

As Eugeo was going through there were many titans that were subdued thanks to the volunteer squad. He could see a narrow straight path to the end he could see the light. Almost there… Suddenly a building crumbled and managed to knock Eugeo off his horse. A crawler was staring right at him, he was against the wall of another building "NO NO PLEASE I DON'T WANNA DIE!" frozen in fear he was unable to move and closed his eyes, but then suddenly a wire attached to the titans nape "Hyaah!". When he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was a bloodied rose insignia and beautiful blond hair. "Ali-" "GO!" He quickly mounted his horse and galloped to the plains area.

Another soldier landed behind her "Good job Alice"

"Thanks…Sergeant." she said softly while looking into the distance.

"We should get back up now that our job is done."

No response as she continued staring out into the distance.

The survey corps was now in titan territory.

Kayaba gave the signal to split up

They were all assigned squads Kazuto was with Sachi, Sasamaru, Watanabe, Tetsuo and Sergeant Keita but they were split up in twos

"See ya, Sachi,"

"Stay safe Kirito,"

"Okay lovebirds let's go!"

"Ok Ducker"

His real name was Watanabe but his squad calls him Ducker for unknown reasons.

As he was riding his horse he was on edge. Ducker seemed to notice it.

"Scared?"

"Ye- no."

"It's okay I'm your squadmate, I won't make fun of you whatever you say stays with me."

Kazuto looked forward and started admiring the lush greenery.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

"Yeah.."

"Sucks that this is enemy territory.."

"You know when I decided for the scouts I honestly thought I was going to transfer."

"Why's that?"

"I intended to join the MP's but never made top cadet."

"Then why didn't you join the Garrison and transfer like everyone else?"

"I was going to do that, but I thought I trained to fight titans so why not try it out…" Kazuto listened intently "...and then I fell in love with this branch and purpose. I felt like I was doing something meaningful even if my parents didn't approve…" so that's why he stays at the barracks.

"I see…"

Alice was sitting on the wall with her legs dangling.. thinking of a certain someone. I'm so stupid he probably never wants to see me again.

"Hey watchu thinkin bout?"

"Oh uh sergeant…" She sat down next to Alice

"Quit it, you can call me by my name"

"Stop looking at me like I am old.."

"Sorry, my bad s-" She received a look from her that said 'i dare you' "...Fanatio…" Her expression softened.

"So are you going to tell me what's on your mind?"

"Uh…"

Fanatio got tired of waiting for her to tell her "Boy problems..?"

"No what how did-"

"Cmon I'm a thirty year old woman do you really think I wouldn't notice especially when I have the same-" oops I revealed too much stupid booze

"Fanatio…?"

"Oh uh I liked a guy. I mean I still like him but I don't have the balls to tell him probably cause I'm not a guy." Alice started laughing at her joke and soon laughed along with her.

"Alice there's a lot of titans coming and you're our best shot."

"On my way Sergeant."

Fanatio got up as well to go back to HQ. She led the vanguard squadron but they were suspended for getting into a bar fight and just got unsuspended today.

"Ready Rika?"

"For sure, let's blow some heads off"

As Rika was loading the cannon Alice was tying her hair up in a ponytail so It would not get caught. Alice managed to guide Rika, shooting and killing 20 titans.

one hour later

It's too much titans just kept coming and coming

"STOP! WE ARE USING TOO MANY RESOURCES" a soldier shouted.

"But then what are we supposed to do?!"

"Agil calm down we will deploy the Vanguard to take care of it"

"With all due respect, a seasoned scout is better skilled for this."

"Then you think of a plan that's better than this we don't hav-" Suddenly lightning appeared and like an all too familiar aura the colossal appeared once again.

"AAAAH" many soldiers screamed as they were knocked off, some were unlucky and fell into the horde outside while others were able to scale the wall on the inside.

While Alice managed to gain balance as she hooked into the wall suddenly she saw her friend falling "SOMEONE GET RIKA!'' Suddenly Agil let go of one hook and remembered Kazuto's words about protecting the people important to you. He managed to catch her by the foot by using the hook of his gear. Oof that gonna hurt but it's better than dying. He then looked in Alice's direction but she was going towards the colossal titan. "ALICE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?"

She couldn't stand still anymore so she hardened her will and climbed the wall she heard her Sergeant yell something but could not hear due to air pressure. She climbed up and was now airborne facing the colossal giant. It destroyed all the artillery was it on purpose? She looked towards the titan and noticed its eyes on her. Alice managed to dodge a swing by connecting to its shoulder and reeling in. She then quickly managed to get behind him then using the gas. Then hooked on to the nape and used some extra gas to zero in on the nape but before she could a bunch of hot air rushed towards her she managed to endure it. The steam finally cleared but just before it cleared she went in a slashing motion hoping it was dead. Unfortunately it disappeared WHAT BUT HOW!? Alice was a confused mess, she realized she was falling but managed to get on top of the wall. As she landed she noticed Fanatio approach her, "Alice, report to HQ and get debriefed by the Captain."

"But what about you?"

"Don't worry, my squadron can handle this."

"But-"

"GO"

She then went towards HQ using her ODM and looked back at the hole that was covered by a net. Unconsciously she started shedding tears. That's a lot of titans wait does this mean the scouts were wiped out? Kazuto, Eugeo are they dead? And she was so mean to him she would regret not telling him how she felt. She arrived at HQ wiping her tears away.

"ALRIGHT MEN THE DAY WE FEARED HAS COME BUT FEAR NOT WE HAVE PREPPED FOR THIS!" the district captain shouted out he was given the nickname 'Godfree'.

"AS WE DISCUSSED WE WILL USE THE PLAN OUTLINED HERE"

He pointed to the bulletin board that had a map of the district. Pointing at the front of the map

"THE VANGUARD SOLDIERS WILL BE AT THE FRONT DEFENDING THE DISTRICT LED BY ME, THE ARTILLERY SQUAD MEMBERS WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE LED BY SERGEANT MILLS, THE ELITE SQUADRON WILL BE DEFENDING THE EVACUEES LED BY SERGEANT MIFUNE."

A soldier raised his hand "What about the scouts?"

"UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORST THAT THEY ARE DEAD." He said as bluntly as ever. At this statement most of the soldiers panicked internally, this hit Alice HARD.

Kazuto, Eugeo… She could imagine them dead, their bodies ripped open, bled out just empty effigies. She wanted to scream somewhere.

"Will you shut up, they aren't dead." She bonked him with her hilt.

"Mifune you're here, what about the titans?"

"Don't worry my squad is handling them and setting up the net."

"Oh,"

"Anyways what you just said was insensitive."

"How?"

"Look at your soldiers."

He looked back at them turning his body around giving her a quizzical look

"They are panicking."

"So?"

"Are you blind, can you not see it is going to affect them?"

"Well it's better than lying aint it?"

"I'll handle it…"

She turned to address the troops

"ATTENTION, I KNOW THE SITUATION SEEMS DIRE RIGHT NOW AND ITS SEEMS LIKE THE SITUATION IS IMPOSSIBLE, SURE THE SCOUTS MAY BE DEAD BUT THAT IS A BIG IF. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ALIVE AND EVEN IF THEY WERE DEAD THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE STOP FIGHTING FOR WE ARE HUMANITIES SHIELD IF OUR SPEAR IS BROKEN WE ARE ALL THAT STANDS BETWEEN US AND TITANKIND BESIDES THEY WOULDN'T WANT US TO MOURN THEM SO FIGHT FOR THEM THEIR SACRIFICE JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T FIGHT TITANS AS OFTEN AS THEM DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE WEAK, SO RAGE MY SOLDIERS SHOW THE TITANS WE WILL NOT BE PUSHED BACK WITHOUT A FIGHT!"

After the speech morale was back up, why wasn't she captain?

Alice was inside refilling gear. She dropped her canister and her hand started shaking. The canister was then handed to her.

"Fanatio?"

"Hey Alice, how are you feeling?"

"To be honest I am a little scared…tch I am useless.."

"No, that just means you are human, even I am scared and I've been serving for about 10 years"

Alice still didn't cheer up, Fanatio noticed this and wanted to cheer her up, for some reason she wanted to be an older sister when she was younger but that didn't happen as she grew up an only child.

"Is the boy you like in the scouts?" Alice involunterley answered by not saying anything and looking away. She couldn't hold it in anymore and let the tears flow.

"I was…so mean to him...what if he's dead for real…"

"Easy there." Fanatio started to pull her in close and started rubbing circles on her back. Until she let it all out.

Alice straightened herself out, "Sorry."

"It's all good sometimes we need to let it all out…I was thinking of letting you roll with my squad for today as a trial."

"What but I'm only going to hold you back…"

"Not true…you almost took out the colossal titan, most of us were too terrified to move."

"Who told you that?"

"Agil."

In the end she ended up going with Fanaito's squad with Agil's recommendation

The scouts made it to the forest and were now resting on the branches .

"We made it with no casualties...?" This was very rare especially for the scout regiment

"Yes, Kayaba, no casualties."

Hmm too easy.

"Need a status report on each squad...specifically how many titans they've encountered.."

"On it."

"Sachi!" Kazuto waved and ran to her. He was relieved she was safe and unharmed and smiled as they were hugging.

"Helloooo lovebirds."

"Eugeo shut up."

He laughed in response and suddenly a scout came to them.

"Attention, I need you to tell me how many titans you have encountered."

"Yes, Captain."

Most squads encountered only one or two

Weird, why are there almost no titans, unless… Kazuto did not like this at all.

Sortillnia went back to Kayaba,

"They've only encountered one-two max but were ignored"

Kayaba was in deep thought, Hmm It's impossible for them to all be abnormal, Let's see…

"Commander!"

"Yes, Tsuboi?"

"My squad and I did a perimeter check like you ordered."

"And the results?"

"Nada nothing not a titan in sight, but we saw them in large groups moving to-"

"Trost." The commander interrupted darkly and immediately fired a blue flare.

So it's come to this? Kayaba chuckled he'd go to Wall Maria if he could but there was a bigger problem, for the scouts when something becomes too easy there's always another damn issue and it was always a bigger one.

"ATTENTION ALL SOLDIERS REFILL ON GAS AND BLADES IF NEEDED. "TROST MAY BE UNDER ATTACK IGNORE ANY TITAN YOU MAY SEE UNTIL WE REACH THE DISTRICT."

"WE WILL NOT USE THE 'HUMAN RADAR' FORMATION WE WILL GO BACK TOGETHER"

At this every soldier mounted their horses and joined the formation rushing back. Kazuto's hand was shaking. Sugha, Auntie… Suddenly Sachi placed her hand on top of his, giving him a 'everything will be ok' look. It managed to calm him down as he regained his composure and continued riding.

"Hyaah"

"Nice job!"

"Thanks Corporal."

"I told you to call me by my name Eldrie."

"Right, sorry."

In the cadet corps you were supposed to call each other by rank unless stated otherwise. She noted that the SG didn't really care and wanted to be called by name.

Suddenly two titans appeared in the back. The Corporal was about to speak when Alice shouted

"Me and Eldrie will take the one on the right, you guys take the one on the left..."

Eldrie was shocked, here a recruit looked calm as ever facing a dire situation handing out clear and precise orders.

"If you can't kill it, prioritize slowing it down by slicing the legs then go for the nape. Remember we need to buy the civs time."

Eldrie tried to strafe around the titan but failed as the titan yanked his cord and grabbed him. "AAH '' he involuntarily shouted. Where's alice? The titan opened its mouth and he was expecting to die. I love you mom and dad. He shedded a tear.

Alice saw what happened. She didn't even have time to hesitate or think she attached to the nape and went full speed and sliced the nape just in the nick of time.

"Thanks Alice."

"Don't need to thank me, we are comrades."

The scouts arrived and Kayaba's biggest fear was true. A big gaping hole could be seen and titans could be seen entering the district. Kayaba yelled out to his troops "ALL TROOPS SWITCH TO ODM COMBAT, TRY TO FIGHT IN PAIRS REMEMBER WHAT THE PLAN WAS IF THIS EVER HAPPENED, NOW LETS FIGHT FOR OUR FAMILIES. SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO!"

"You're probably wondering why I invited you Seijirou?"

"Yes, usually I am the one to invite you for drinks Akihiko."

"Yes, why?"

"I wanted to discuss…"

They made a plan that if the scouts came back and Trost was under attack they would clear the small town outside first.

Kazuto nodded at Sachi. Together they took on two 15 meter titans, He took the one on the left and Sachi took the right one.

As he was heading towards the titan he attached his hook to the titans neck in order to orbit it. It caught wind of it and yanked it. Kazuto was now at the mercy of the titan. He closed his eyes expecting to meet his mother but Sachi quickly and efficiently killed her first titan with the assistance of Koichiro.

The titan seems to be preoccupied with someone she noted She hooked on to its nape and reeled in and the titan was no more.

She spotted Koichiro on the other side of the decomposing corpse.

"Hey."

"Yo, where's Kazu?"

"He's over the…" She stopped midway and saw Kirito her body just moved on her own hoping to reach her lover. She wasn't going to make it on time NOOOOOO! Then Koichiro came flying and rescued Kazuto.

"Yo Kazu, you good?" What he saw shocked him instead of Kazuto thanking him he was looking up in the sky, I NEED TO GET STRONGER, I NEED TO GET STRONGER He kept repeating in his head. "…Uh Kazuto.."

"Oh.." He'd realized he'd been spacing out and shook himself out of it and went on ahead "Kir-" Sachi couldn't even get a word in and followed him.

They were almost at the gate, most of the titans were dead thanks to the veterans.

Eugeo managed to kill two

"Nice job Eji."

"Thanks you did not so bad yourself"

"Oh come on it was all Dakira"

Dakira was a veteran scout member who was experienced in titan combat. While the boys agreed to act as bait so that she could get the killing blow. The boys didn't mind it as long as they lived.

As Kazuto and his squad were about to reach the gate, he noticed another horde out of the corner of his eyes and decided to inform Kieta.

"Sergeant, there's another horde coming."

"Hmm…stand and fight."

"Kieta are you sure?!" Ducker was shocked "…that's like at least twentyish titans.."

"Yeah we should go-"

"Really and let the Garrison deal with it…" he was a bit irked at this "...they already have enough on their hands…"

"We are the only squad…out here." Sachi argued

"Whatever, I'll kill them all myself."

"Wa-" Kazuto tried to grab him but he took off and went after him.

"Well now we have no choice, let's go."

Everything was going fine the squad used each other as bait and killed them one by one suddenly it started pouring, and that's when it happened.

One by one each member was killed by the same titan. They didn't even have time to react.

"AAA"

"NOO"

"FU-

Sachi and Kazuto were airborne, squinting to see how many titans were left.

"How many titans left?"

Sachi squinted "Around five, I see."

Kazuto nodded around five all he needed to was get the titans spaced out. As they were closing in, a crawler jumped at Kazuto and was about to be eaten but was pushed from behind. Kazuto fell on the ground trying to grab her outta the way he felt like he succeeded but what he was holding horrified him as he opened his eyes and saw her head. Blood was splattered on him "AAAAH." The crawler looked his way as he finished swallowing Sachi's body.

Kayaba killed his fifth titan; he was now in the middle of the district, he noticed one squad was missing. Where are they? He stared off in the distance behind him "Akihiko you good?"

"Yeah a squad is missing, I'm going to go check on them…" he went airborne "lead the troops, Serlut!" he shouted.

Since when did he care about others?

He reached the front of the gate and landed on a house. A normal person would be horrified and try to help or run but Kayaba smiled at what he saw.

Kazuto looked horrified, He froze and got on his knees he heard a voice in his head "KAZUTO NO MATTER WHAT, SURVIVE!" As he thought about her, WHAT'S THE USE OF MY TRAINING IF I AM TOO SCARED OF USING IT! As the crawler was slowly approaching him, Kazuto quickly got up, reloaded his blades, changed gears and also decided to use his new technique.

As the titan was about to eat him, he dodged his attack and it ended up hitting a building. He swiftly cut the titans arms and legs. He couldn't hold back his emotions and wanted it to feel the same pain he felt, going back and forth and slashing each limb until it was nothing. Then he rushed to the other titans.

I'll kill you all until every last one of you dies by my sword.

He attached to the neck on the front of the titan so he would be right at the nape once he strafed,as he was doing that he also hit the trigger to boost. He almost slammed into the titans hand but slashed it into pieces by spinning, then he went for the kill. Kazuto was so enraged, he didn't even realize they were all dead till he calmed down.

He's the one…

As the smoke cleared, Akihiko walked towards Kazuto. He noticed a silhouette of a person.

DID HE JUST WATCH AND NOT HELP?!

He clapped "Bravo Kirigaya...what a magnificent event to witness!"

He didn't even help. "YOU IDIOT WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP!?" As he rushed up to him and put his blades by his neck.

He put his hands up but he wasn't begging for his life, "Kill me and my last wish will be to make you the commander." he said bluntly. Kazuto knew he wasn't ready for that responsibility so he lowered his sword. "When I came you were already engaged with the titans and if I intervened I felt I would disrupt your flow." Kayaba felt like clarifying for some odd reason. There was some awkward silence. The smoke cleared and Kazuto's comrades bodies could be seen, some were missing torsos, legs and heads. He went to try to collect them but Kayaba stopped him.

"Wait, we need to assist the garrison could be overrun."

Kazuto reluctantly agreed and Kayaba went ahead. Before Kazuto could follow, Tetsuo's corpse started speaking with his last breath.

"You're a monster…" closing his eyes and taking his last breath.

He didn't know how to react to that and just followed Kayaba who gave him a napkin to wipe his tears away.

As they were airborne, Kayaba wanted to say something but wasn't good at situations like this.

"Kazuto, I am going to the back to help with the evacuation."

"Why not help the middle guard?"

"Please you got this, consider this a practice run."

"Right…"

He went ahead, some garrison soldiers were being overrun, not if Kazuto could help it. He held his blade backward and slashed up the titans arm to get to the nape. To the naked eye it looked like he was razing their arms then quickly and spinning to cut the nape. The soldiers below him started watching in amazement 'woahs' could be heard. Koichiro was amazed, the smoke cleared and he couldn't believe that it was Kazuto. He noticed that he was covered in blood that wasn't disappearing.

"Kazuto…?"

Kazuto went airborne again while the rest followed him.

Koichiro was watching in amazement.

What the fuck happend to him there's blood all over him.

Eugeo, Eji and Dakira were now with the middle guard as they helped eliminate some titans alongside the Garrison. Suddenly and abnormal jumped Eji noticed this and shouted

"WATCH OUT!"

Everyone managed to evade it but one person. It crashed into a tower and Sergeant Dakira was revealed to be caught in its mouth. Eugeo was horrified at this, the others just froze.

"Wha-" Dakira had an horrified expression on her face as it swallowed her. The titan let go of the tower and normally walked away from the group as if nothing happened. Eugeo was enraged and moved before anyone could say anything.

"YOU FUCK! THAT WAS MY SERGEANT GET BACK HERE!"

"Eugeo wait-" but he ignored Eji's plea.

He was moving at a fast pace and failed to notice a crawler below him and in the end it bit his leg.

Eugeo slammed into a roof with a bleeding leg. He was losing his will to fight at the same time. Eji was on an adjacent roof watching the horror unfold before him. He could hear the screams of his comrades 'AAAAAAA DON'T SOMEONE SAVE ME PLEASE I DON'T WANNA DIE' while waving their swords around helplessly. Loud footsteps could be heard and before he realized it he was being dropped into the mouth of a titan. Eugeo heard his screams…

"Hey Eiji, I know you are not much of a fighter, why'd you join the scouts?"

Eji knew he'd have to tell his story someday. "When I was young, I always had a knack for medicine and I loved to study it, I got into a prestigious medical program in highschool but when It was time for me to go do my residency, I was framed by a med student who killed a high risk patient and lost my license to practice it…" "I couldn't fight back because my family was poor and even If I could I still would lose because the resident who did was a noble and probably had the king's support…" He took a deep breath. "Even though no one believed me…there was one person who did…my childhood friend, she believed I was innocent." Eugeo understood how important this friend was because he was blushing. "..If it wasn't for her, I would've never joined the military and stayed a deadbeat."

Eugeo was confused. "Why the military…you aren't a great fighter..no offense."

"I thought that too…but I thought I could learn to fight in the cadet corps but I freeze when I see a titan..the instructor even told me i'd even be useless in the Garrison-"

"Wait, Bercouli told you that..?" He couldn't believe that "One of my friends was failing and he took time to give each failing cadet advice; most of them graduated to the Guard in the end." Bercouli would never call you useless in front of others.

"No, It was a different one."

"So then what happened?"

"It was just weeks before I graduated, I was gonna go to the guard…but it was just then the scouts came back and a soldier was about to lose his arm."

"So what did you do?"

"The doctor within me kicked in, I wasn't about to let a soldier lose an arm if I could help it. So I stole a fishing thread and patched him up. Kayaba saw me and was impressed."

"Then..?"

"He recognized me as a new grad, asked me where I was going and I told him, He said it was a shame, I said I'm not much of a fighter. told me I was doubting myself and that my skill." He took a deep breath and continued telling his story "...he said I could be useful out there due to my medical skills and people die due to bleeding out. I even told him my licenses were suspended he replied and I quote 'outside the walls are lawless' "

Eugeo started laughing "Sounds like him to me"

Eiji looked up at the stars "So I joined as a combat medic and got better at fighting as time went on…" "First time someone ever complimented me in the military…and made me feel valuable."

Eugeo would not let that happen he mustered what strength he could and flung around into the titans mouth to grab Eiji. He pulled him out with his arm and threw him on the roof.

Eiji was shocked that Eugeo had the strength to do that. He stretched his arm out but Eiji was still in shock, but regained his composure and reached to grab him.

"Eiji…let's see the outside wor-" The titan closed his mouth and biting his arm off in the process

"EUGEO!" Eiji screamed,

Alice turned her head as she heard a scream. She didn't want to believe it was his scream since it sounded familiar hoping her ears were playing tricks on her.

"Shit we can't get this titan."

"Why is it ignoring us!?"

Alice held her boost to catch up with it; she hooked to the parallel buildings and boosted herself above the titan, let go and let gravity do the rest as she slashed the nape of the titan. What she saw next was surprising. A whole group of civilians were looking at her.

"Why haven't you guys evacuated yet?"

"Well we would but these guys don't wanna help me push my salt in."

"What?" she said angrily.

"I know right the faster-".

"No, why aren't you prioritizing the people?"

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me."

"Well I don't wanna lose my business."

"Take your cart out."

"What?"

"You heard me." She had a dark aura around her.

"Oi oi oi, surely you wouldn't kill me, once your boss hears this you'll be out of a job."

"Oh really?" an unknown voice interrupted.

Thanks to my writers and betas for helping me. Yes, there will be some made up names for characters whose real names haven't been revealed in SAO. I'm not naming someone ducker as a real name, that's just weird imo.
