"Yo."
"Erin! Wait, you're..."
"Yeah, twins. Ymir and Carla. That is their name."
"When-" her inquiry is stopped when Erin suddenly clutches her head. Historia quickly helped her. Even without looking, she knew Historia's unasked question about her current condition. Erin looked at the distance, where the fight for the lives of the humans outside of Paradis is being fought. The fight is almost over, and there is sudden thunder. Historia looked in the direction of the sound of thunder, and then looked back at Erin.
"Armin. He transformed."
Just now, she could feel Armin's thunderous explosion from her body decoy, signaling her about Armin's Titan's transformation.
Using her severed head as the catalyst or the nape, she'd able to create a dummy Titan. While the Rumbling started for quite a long time, she just finished regenerating from the injury she got from Gabi. Mikasa, Armin, and the others don't realize that big-ass skeleton Titan is not her. Well, it's technically her, but not really. It doesn't have any will, other than to continue the Rumbling. Ah, it also contained all her Titan Powers, in form of that centipede or worm, which she affectionately named Hallu-kun. She now only retained some of her regeneration power, ability to create small indestructible crystalline objects, and foresight. And she'd never be able to use Titan's body again.
Also, she has struck a deal with the Founder, Ymir. Ymir will be reborn, in form of a baby. The baby that Erin will be the one that carried her. That contained Ymir's soul. And she also will have a twin, which she has decided to call the other Carla, in honor of her late mother. The Ymir's side of the deal is to control the past Titan shifter, well some of them. Her namesake, her father, Hisu's Ymir, Ksaver, Porco, and Marcel are not controlled by Ymir. But Erin has asked them to do what they want to do. Not just obeying her. Same with Bertoldo...Bertolucci...Bertoto...Boruto... damnit! What is the correct pronunciation of his name!?
Thanks to Daz and Floch, those two, although quite shocked upon seeing her bulging stomach, protected her to safety and hid her from any Marley soldier left at Paradis. Combined with the fact she just regenerating her lost head and her sudden pregnancy, she is very weak to do anything. Luckily during her regeneration, no one realizes real Erin is still at the place where Gabi had shot her. For now, only Floch and the original remaining 104th batch knew about her and her current situation, excluding those on the Alliance.
When she heard about her friends and those from Marley, the Alliance they called themselves, plan to stop the Rumbling from Ymir whose soul still in the Path, she ordered some of the Yeagerist to try "stop" them. The end result? Daz lost a few of his fingers. Floch is now like Hange, lost one of his eyes, again because of Gabi. Hange, she suffer a fatal burn, but thanks to her and Ymir giving Hange a Shifter's regeneration for just a few minutes, that had saved her life. But at least, no one from Alliance and Yeagerist (why they named it Yeagerist? Isn't the correct one is supposed to Jaegerist?) has died. So far.
There is a second explosion. And then...
Ah, so Hallu-kun is on the verge of dying, huh? Shame, she always liked Hallu-kun.
Just now, she can feel Ymir's soul departed from the world of Paths and to her reborn body inside her womb. Oddly enough, she still could access the Paths. But the tree and branching aurora, Coordinate is no longer there. So the Paths is now empty, save for the soil and the star. With her as the sole inhabitant of the Paths. Does it make her the owner of Paths now?
Wait, her half-brother is still alive, he and she are a lot alike. Stubborn and refused to die, even they got their head fucking decapitated. Where is Zeke right now? Ah, he is with Falco, eh? Also, she can feel the strain of Ymir's 13 Years Curse leaving her body as Hallu-kun is using the last of its strength and breath to leave its current body and teleport back to her spine. Hallu-kun succeeded. And thus, a new Founder has been born.
Just like Ymir, she is now able to use the full power of the Founding Titan, as the entirety of Hallu-kun's ability now resided in her body.
(Unknown to her, there is a luminous, small sapling occupying the spot where the once big tree is rooted.)
"Curse of Ymir is no more and every Wall Titan and Titans power-holders have lost their ability to transform and regenerate." Except for her, but they don't need to know that yet.
As she sat beside Historia on the stair in her house, she asked Floch about the current situation. "Floch, what the situation at the Shiganshina now?" She asked Floch, who's followed her to make her and her unborn babies are safe.
"Yeagerist managed to usurp the military. Now the military is under Yeagerist control." Floch said as he nursing his injury, helped by Historia's husband.
"Good. Can you go there after this? Someone needs to take control, and only you are qualified right now."
"Yeah, just let me rest for a moment. And don't worry, I left Daz there just in case this kind of thing happened." Glancing back to Erin. "And when your children will be born?"
"Probably in the next few days or so." Said Erin, patting her bulging stomach. "Anyway, where is Commander Hange? Is she still unconscious?"
"Ah...she is here. Still unconscious."
"Oh. Floch, when they got back here, secure my brother immediately." Pause. "Ah, tell Falco to get here too."
"...why?" This time, Historia, who's keep silent during Erin and Floch's conversation, asked Erin.
"Yeah, why?" This time, Floch is the one who asked her.
"Right...you guys didn't know. Well, to be fair, only a few knew about this."
So she began telling her tale of a brief fling with Falco during her time at Liberio to Floch and Historia.
"So you see, this is probably the last time I can tease him."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well?" She asked Floch, Historia, and Hange, who's come back from the land of unconsciousness in the middle of Erin's tale.
Looking at each other. "You are a pervert, Erin." Judge Historia dropped her judgment. Floch and Hange nodded in agreement.
"Damnit, I knew I shouldn't tell you guys that."
