Chapter 2: Failure.
Diary of a soldier.
After graduation we were given two days off before we left for Trost to do maintenance work while we waited for the election ceremony.
Eren is very excited to join the legion, has been more jovial the last few days than in the three years we spent training. Following my defense of his speech on graduation night, he questioned me about the veracity of my words. Apparently he always thought that I was not an idealistic person, and I replied that in fact I am not, I am realistic.
"Then, why did you agree with me?" I wonder.
"It's realistic for me to have hope, it's one of the things that makes us human." I answered with sincerity.
I had one last training session with Annie Leonhardt. She and I maintained a kind of rivalry given our almost opposite fighting styles. She bet on the defense and use the strength of her opponent in her favor, while I bet on the total offensive and not let my opponent breath. Until this last session we had a 3-win meter for me, 2 for her and a lot of draws; after this session I declared my total victory with 4 in total.
I went out hunting with Sasha since she is going to go to the military police and we will not see each other for a while. The boys and I had glasses of wine that Connie somehow managed to get.
For some reason I feel that such happiness cannot be a good sign.
End Diary of a soldier.
District Trost. Year 850.
The newly graduated cadets were doing maintenance on the top of the walls; cleaning, checking the guns, ammunition.
"Hey, Faraday ..." began to say Eren carrying some boxes accompanied by the white-haired, who brought his hair tied in a ponytail leaving his bangs loose, framing his face.
"What happened?" Attended the light-blue-eyed. The chestnut was somewhat uncomfortable.
"Well, what happens is that I heard some things ... about you and Mikasa." Those words made Faraday almost stumble. The albino looked at his friend with some nervousness.
"Oh no, you too ..."
Eren to see the expression of the light-blue-eyed misinterpreted.
"No, no, I'm not against anything, just that it seems strange to me, both are so ... you, and she is my sister and so ..." Eren said nervously before the half-tired and half-amused look of the white-haired.
"Eren, calm down, there's only friendship between Mikasa and me, and remember that romances in the army are forbidden." He clarified to his friend, who now looked embarrassed.
"Oh, I see ..." It was the smartest thing that could come out of his mouth.
After that uncomfortable moment both continued with their obligations, joining the rest of their companions.
"Connie, really? I thought you would join the military police." Eren expressed surprised at the revelation.
"Yes, your speech and that of Faraday surprised more than one, including me." Thomas said entering the scene at Connie's complaints about him making his own decisions.
"Besides, it would be like disrespecting you, Faraday, after all those times when you helped me and Thomas get better." Mina expressed her gratitude.
"Do not do it for those reasons, you need to have a personal motivation." Faraday told them, who, although he accepted their gratitude, had to make it clear that they owed him nothing.
"My personal motivation is to follow you, Faraday, with people like You and Mikasa, humanity will open up." The brunette said with passion, leaving the white-haired boy a bit surprised.
"They have a lot of faith in me ..." thought the light-blue-eyed, and instantly he remembered his words from a couple of days ago.
"Sometimes, people deserve their faith to be rewarded ..."
"Guys, look what I got!" It was Sasha's voice running towards them. The very condemned had obtained meat, stolen from the superior's pantry. Everyone was scandalized, but Faraday was used to the girl's occurrences.
"Good job, Sasha, I'll take care of cooking them." The white-haired man said with a smirk, making the redhead nodded in excitement. Then the others were encouraged and asked for their part.
Faraday smiled at that group of weird people, they were his friends, the only thing he had left.
A thunderous noise reached everyone's ears. For Eren and Faraday it was damn familiar. They all turned their gaze to the great titan who had almost appeared as a work of art. Everyone stood still, staring wide-eyed at the colossal Titan.
The white-haired was the first to react, but when he took his swords the titan expelled a large amount of steam from his body, sending them all flying downhill.
All managed to anchor themselves to the wall, and Sasha managed to rescue one of the cadets who had been unconscious. Then, the colossal titan kicked the door. The wall had been violated.
"Connie, Sasha, go evacuate the civilians from the right flank! Thomas, mine, those on the left side! Eren, stay with me, we will try to prevent the titans from entering until reinforcements arrive!" Faraday's voice rumbled through misery; Connie, Sasha, Mina and Thomas nodded out of shock and headed for the houses; Eren, however, was worth shit what the white-haired man said and threw himself at the colossal titan.
Faraday, when he saw it, was about to go for it, but then out of the corner of his eye he saw a lone titan enter through the breach. Deciding to trust Eren, the light-blue-eyed came down at full speed, running vertically up the walls until it reached a suitable height.
The titan was a normal 13 meters. Faraday descended 18 meters with respect to the ground before swinging using the wall as he supported and launching himself like a bullet towards the titan, burying his anchors in the lower part of the nape; in 1 second he fulminated the titan, with a deep cut on the nape of his neck.
The white-haired man, seeing his enemy fall, put himself safely on the roof of a nearby house, observed the hole for a few seconds, deciding whether to be on guard or go to see Eren. He did not have to make a decision as the colossal Titan suddenly disappeared. Faraday directed his gaze to the top of the wall, watching as some remains of cannons fell.
"I knew ... those jerks are smart, the colossal and the armored, if everything is like the last time, that damn titan should not be late to appear to break the inner door." Reflecting the white-haired man who had already reached the top of the wall to see Eren catching his breath.
"Eren, come on, we have to regroup." He told his friend, who was cursing under his breath.
The garrison troops began the containment plan while the cadets returned to headquarters.
"Eren! Faraday!"
Mikasa ran to see them both. She was somewhat worried because she knew that the two of them had been assigned to clean the walls.
"Hey, Mikasa, we're fine, do not worry." The white-haired calmed her with a small smile. Eren was still focused with a death glare.
After an hour, the operation to contain the garrison troops failed and the titans began to enter; the civilians had not yet been completely evacuated, so the superiors formed squadrons to contain the titans.
"Ackerman, Furorem, you will be in the elite squad, in the rear." Reported Ian Dietrich, a member of the garrison elite.
"But sir, I'll just be a nuisance there." Mikasa objected, wanting to be with Eren before the insulted look of this one.
"I did not ask you, cadet, we need the best to protect civilians." The superior stressed.
Mikasa wanted to object, but Eren stopped her from a head-butt, telling her that it did not matter what she wanted in this situation. Faraday, who had stayed on the sidelines, took Mikasa's shoulder.
"Do not be such a rude, Eren, she only cares about you, but he's right, Mikasa, now it only matters the survival of humanity." The white-haired man said, making the chestnut snort and the black-eyed nod silently.
After Mikasa made Eren promise not to die and the white-haired man shake his hand and send his best wishes to the others, the black and white duo went to their location.
Several minutes later, the entire squadron was grouped, watching the civilians from the rooftops; the titans had not yet arrived there.
The white-haired boy noticed the look of his friend, you could tell she was not focused.
"Mikasa, trust Him. I'm also worried, all our friends are there, but the best way to honor them is by doing our job well here." He tried to cheer her up, once placing his hand on her shoulder. The brunette watched him with clear concern on her face.
"I know, Faraday ... but still I'm scared." Mikasa looked down, only to have the light-blue-eyed's hand pick her up by the chin and then touch her cheek. The brunette looked at her friend who was smiling sadly.
"Me too, but you have to live with fear." He said as gently as possible.
"Hey, you two, stop acting like idiots in love and concentrate, you never know when a titan will appear." The voice of one of their superiors took them out of their world, ceasing to look at each other with a slight touch of shame on their faces, framed by a rose on their cheekbones.
After half an hour Faraday was getting impatient; with his hawk eyes he managed to detect a titan of 15 meters about 400 meters from his location; technically it was in the limits of his zone, so without warning to anybody he left fired at great speed towards it in spite of the voices of his superiors.
Faraday arrived in just over a minute using special maneuvers to move fast without spending so much gas, relying on his own physical training, which allowed him to move at a constant speed of almost 30 km / h for almost an hour without hardly getting tired.
Faraday arrived at a strategic position diagonal to the titan without being detected, thus he did not miss the impulse that had acquired and in a burst of speed he cut the nape of the humanoid.
The white-haired man looked around, there were titans ahead but he did not want to play with his luck with the superiors, however, what he was looking for were his companions; or at least some of them. In the distance he could see Jean rising through the air along with Marco. Near the light-blue-eyed position were Krista, Ymir and Connie catching their breath on a roof; Without thinking he arrived at their side in a moment, surprising the cadets.
"Faraday? I thought you were in the rear." Krista commented strangely.
"I am, but I used the excuse of killing a titan to see how you were doing. Is there any casualty?" The light-blue-eyed man asked without a word on his tongue.
"No, at least not from our friends or that we know." Connie informed. The white-haired man nodded and said goodbye, wishing them the best. In a couple of minutes, he reached his position with the elite squad, being scolded by Ian; Faraday shielded himself that the titan was getting too close to a dangerous position.
"Mikasa, I was able to talk to Connie, Krista and Ymir, there are no significant casualties for now." He commented to his dark-haired friend under his breath; she sighed in relief.
They were another 10 minutes quiet before they had to move, the titans were already entering their radio when there were still a few civilians to evacuate. Mikasa and Faraday rushed towards a couple of abnormal ones; the white-haired with great fluidity and impressive speed sliced the feet of both abnormal in just a second, and while these fell Mikasa appeared in a diver slicing the nape of the two.
So they did with the abnormal ones they found; Faraday immobilized them by slicing their feet while Mikasa fulminated them, while with the normal both were dispatched quickly individually, but not separated too much. In just another 15 minutes, between them they had destroyed 20 titans, before the incredulous gaze of their superiors.
Mikasa and Faraday watched as two abnormal run down different streets leading to Trost's inner door, and noticing how the garrison soldiers failed to stop them, white-haired and black-haired agreed and both rushed towards a titan each.
Faraday go to the one who was closest to the civilians, spending a little more gas using his Goken 3D style, arriving like a furious tornado at the nape of the titan, even tearing his head from the destruction. The white-haired boy then looked to his left and watched as the other titan fell in front of the civilians with Mikasa on top of him.
"So that's why they were taking so long." The white-haired man was looking at the car full of merchandise that was even bigger than the door, with a fat man shouting at civilians. Faraday noticed the pissed-off look of his friend and decided to go and stop her from killing the man.
The white-haired boy arrived just in time to stop Mikasa's hand, who had her sword in the man's neck.
"Calm down, Mikasa. Sir, I advise you that if you cannot get your merchandise through the door, remove it so civilians can evacuate, otherwise I will not stop my partner." Faraday said to the man, with his frivolous eyes and firm voice.
In the end the man removed his float to avoid dying. The civilians evacuated again. The two cadets sighed and proceeded to leave, but a voice made them stop.
"Excuse me, thank you very much for saving us." A woman was grateful with her daughter in front of her.
"You two are amazing! I want to be like you someday, miss." The girl said with eyes of admiration to the brunette, who felt a little embarrassed while Faraday smiled.
Both returned to their positions.
"You already have admirers, nothing bad." The white-haired commented with some grace.
"Shut up." Mikasa said with embarrassment.
"It's not bad, Mikasa, the future generations will be in charge of shaping the world if we succeed in saving it, we fight so they do not have to." The light-blue-eyed was already more serious. Mikasa agreed.
Soon it started to rain, Mikasa and Faraday continued to kill as many titans as possible, until at last the bells rang and the inner door closed, marking the end of the evacuation.
"We're done, cadets, get on the wall." Ian informed the two.
"I'll go help the central vanguard." Mikasa said who left without waiting for an answer. Faraday, who already expected it, followed her despite the superior's complaints.
On the way Faraday wanted to give words of tranquility to his friend, but he did not dare to do it; anything could have happened, anyone could have died. He, despite having accepted that fact, found it difficult to digest it.
Soon they arrived at the area where all the cadets were, Faraday quickly observed everyone, some faces were missing and several of those who were there had an expression of having been in hell. He could not find Eren's unit, which were also Thomas and Mina. He looked at Mikasa with concern.
They reached the ceiling where Annie, Berthold, Marco and Reiner were. The other cadets looked almost hopefully at the two best of their generation.
"Annie, excuse me, have you seen Eren's unit?" Asked the worried brunette. Faraday made eye contact with Annie, almost begging her to be gentle if the news was negative.
"No, nobody has seen them." The blonde answered simply. Faraday then noticed another very familiar blond head, and touched the brunette's shoulder.
"Mikasa, there's Armin." The light-blue-eyed reported, then both address the boy's position.
"Armin!" Mikasa called. Faraday noticed how the blonde tensed; the white-haired boy already knew deep inside what had happened, but he would not believe it until Armin did not tell him.
"It's Mikasa ... I cannot face him, I do not even deserve to be alive, I'm sure Faraday also comes with her ..." It was the blond's desperate thoughts. Mikasa knelt down to his level, looking for him with her eyes, and then asking about Eren.
Armin raised his face, looking at Mikasa with tears in his eyes. That look confirmed Faraday's thoughts.
"Unit 34 of cadets made up of Thomas Wagner, Nac Tius, Mylius Zeramuski, Mina Carolina ... Eren Jeager! They have done their duty and died heroically in combat!" It was Armin's diatribe with a broken voice.
Mikasa was stunned, Faraday looked down.
"Mina ... Thomas ..." Faraday thought of his friends, remembering his words of just a few hours.
"My personal motivation is to follow you, Faraday, with people like You and Mikasa, humanity will open up."
The white-haired man clenched his fists, could not reward the faith they had in him. The light-blue-eyed man looked at Mikasa, who was still standing there.
"I'm sorry, Mikasa ... Eren sacrificed himself to save me ... I could not do anything!" The blonde apologized with desperation. The brunette bent down and took Armin's hand, making him look at her; Mikasa's black eyes were dead.
"Armin, this is not the time to get emotional, there's work to do." She said in a cold voice, before getting up and talking to Marco about the strategy to follow. Faraday knew that Mikasa was crying inside, maybe she deceived others, but not him, he would have to stay close to her so she would not do something imprudent.
"I am strong, very strong, more than all of you together, only Faraday can match me, all of you are cowards or weak, if you want you can stay crying like babies or-
" Mikasa." The white-haired man's firm voice stopped her. Faraday approached her and delicately lowered the arm that pointed towards the cadets. Onyx and marine eyes collided, and they could see the pain in them. Faraday then turned his gaze towards the cadets.
"If any of you want die, then I invite you to hell with me. If you go with us, you have a chance to live, but if you stay here you will die anyway. Life is about opportunities and choices. Try not to die or die, those are the choices that life offers you now." Faraday lectured the cadets with his characteristic calm, but firmness. In a short time, everyone was trained in front of him.
"Connie, Sasha, Annie, you will go behind me forming a right diagonal with point of origin 3 meters from my position to the right; Jean, Marco, Reiner, will do the same with Mikasa's position symmetrically. Berthold and Armin, you will form a diamond exactly behind us, take the cadets you want; the others form irregular ranks in the rear in case a Titan jumps in." He explained coldly, he would never say it, but the irregular ranks were the possible cannon fodder, if he and Mikasa let some titan pass by, probably several would die.
"Sacrifice your hearts!" The white-haired boy exclaimed furiously, receiving a roar from the cadets, Faraday turned to see Mikasa who was still staring,
Faraday cupping her left cheek in his hand, drawing the attention of the brunette who could see how the white-haired man smiled sadly at her, no words were needed.
Then the cadets fired towards the headquarters.
Mikasa pushed furiously towards the titans, while Faraday opted for the all or nothing using his Goken style, destroying every titan that was crossed. He doesn't have so much gas then he would have to be careful. However, Mikasa not seem mind the shortage.
"She is spending a lot of gas. Mikasa, you express your pain in this way, I understand it, but it's not an excuse to die." The white-haired man was thinking while getting a little closer to the brunette.
" Mikasa! You spend a lot of gas, calm down! Do not be reckless and keep up the formation!" The light-blue-eyed shouted at her, but she did not receive any response from the dark-haired girl.
The white-haired looked back, there were no casualties and they all maintained the formation, he noticed how Annie took care of a titan that he passed by approaching Mikasa so he quickly returned to his position, and as he did it, the expected thing happened, Mikasa ran out of gas and fell.
"Mikasa!" the white-haired man shouted, ready to go for her, but the call of Sasha stopped him.
"Faraday! A volcanic anomaly is coming from the right flank at full speed! "The redhead scared, causing fear in the others.
The volcanic anomalies were the worst types of titans, not counting the colossal and the armored. That anomalies have the skin too hard and hot on the back of the neck, the only way to cut it is to cut off all its limbs, so the titan's body focuses on regenerating those parts and leaves the nape more vulnerable, Faraday had to take care of him.
"Annie, Take my place! Berthold, replace her! Jean, replace Mikasa and lead the group, keep the formation! "The white-haired man ordered, preparing to go against that abnormal one.
" But Faraday, Mikasa-
"I'll look for her, now GO!" Exclaimed the light-blue-eyed addressing the abnormal.
He would have to give everything. Faraday moved at full speed, surrounding the titan to focus on him and leave the group in peace; the titan extended its hand towards him, which the white-haired man took the opportunity to propel himself like a tornado and slice the hand of the titan, and taking advantage of the impulse, he passed at full speed in front of its face tearing his eyes. Then he went to its legs "paddling" with his swords all over abdomen's titan to generate as much damage as possible, to end up pulling his anchors to the ground and cutting his Achilles heels; then anchored to the arm that still had the titan to rise at full speed and slice it moving in circles, until at last decided to try to cut the neck; He pushed himself and like a tornado he sliced all its head and neck until at last he reached the base of the neck, cutting it deeply.
The white-haired fell on a roof, with all his hair and clothes full of blood that was evaporating, watching how the mutilated body of the volcanic titan fell.
Faraday checked his reservations, he had almost nothing left. He looked at the cadets in the distance, they were already approaching the barracks, he could not distinguish if there were any casualties; He took his good 2 minutes killing this titan in order to save gas to go for Mikasa.
With Mikasa.
Mikasa had resigned herself to die at the hands of a normal titan who stalked her, however, against her will, she kept fighting.
"Why?" Mikasa thought avoiding another clumsy blow from the titan.
"Why cannot I stop fighting?" This time barely and could dodge the blow and ended up thrown several meters back. The brunette looked at her single blade, which was broken. Then she watched as the normal Titan that stalked her was joined by an abnormal one.
Mikasa saw them approach, she knew that even if her body did not want it she would die. Eren's smiling face appeared in her memory, and then, on the sides of the smiling figure of the late chestnut, two more appeared: a short blond with a big smile and a tall white-haired man with a small smile adorning his calm eyes.
"Faraday ... Armin?" The brunette was left with the mental image of her two friends, happy to die with their faces in her mind and grateful that they were still alive.
The abnormal titan was on her. Then a white tornado cut off its hand and a few seconds later another cut was heard and the titan fell dead.
Mikasa looked at her savior; it was Faraday, covered in Titan's blood and something panting.
"I told you not to do anything reckless." He told to the brunette watching her with concern.
The white-haired then saw the normal Titan approaching, and when he wanted to rise to kill it he realized the mistake he had just made.
"I ran out of gas ... I was so scared to see that titan so close to her that I pulled the trigger all the way in. Damn it." The light-blue-eyed was thinking angrily.
Mikasa realized this, and tears began to fall from her eyes.
"I'm sorry ... it's my fault you're here ... you should have let me die." The black-haired girl lamented in a broken voice. Faraday approached her, kneeling and taking her face in his hands.
"I will not let you die ... I've already let a lot of people die today. I need you to run, Mikasa, do it for Eren." He begged the brunette who looked at him scared.
"But what about you-
"Never mind, I'll take care of it. Go, run." He commanded, feeling the titan's steps closer and closer.
"No... don't die too, please… " Mikasa said sobbing, Faraday got up and looked at the titan, before giving one last look and smile to the brunette.
"If I die, I will die fighting with honor." the white-haired glanced hate to the titan. That beasts had taken away a lot from a lot from Faraday. The death of his parents, the death of his friends, the desperation of their race and now They wanted to take the life of Faraday's best friend, no, he would not allow it.
Faraday felt a spark in his brain, an impulse that ran through his whole being as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. His eyes were tearing, his hair bristled a little, his muscles swelled and several veins could be seen pulsating through his arms, neck and forehead, anger had overcome him.
"I will not let her die. I will not let you, damned beasts, kill someone I love again. I will destroy you, I will tear you to pieces, there will be nothing but mere dust." Those were the angry thoughts of the representation of the fury.
Faraday gave a war cry and threw its anchors to the hand that was approaching the titan. For his surprise, he raised.
Mikasa watched in amazement as sparks came out of the feet of the white-haired boy and how this high speed climbed in circles all over the titan's arm slicing it until reaching the neck and making its head slits. a few meters and plummeted spinning like a wheel, cutting the titan's body in half, and without taking a breath it went down to the base of the legs, and as a tornado floats the entire body of the titan from feet to nape, for head was no longer there. Pieces of titan flesh began to fall, evaporating.
For Mikasa, that was to see the human anger storm, Literally Faraday was sparking.
Mikasa saw Faraday fall limp, and quickly she reacted to catch him.
"Faraday!" Mikasa exclaimed catching the white-haired in her hands, the boy's hair had even been untied and now hung free.
The blue-eyed man, disoriented, could barely make out Mikasa's face.
"What happened?" Asked the light-blue-eyed, listening to the body of the titan hit the floor.
"I do not know, you pushed yourself somehow without gas." The girl also tried to understand.
"I feel my body tingle, I feel paralyzed." The boy with the scar complained.
Mikasa did not have time to respond when she saw a titan in front of them, it was another normal one. The brunette looked at the white-haired in her arms, he had given everything to save her, even committing a miracle.
"FIGHT!"
She heard Eren's voice in his thoughts. Mikasa quickly put Faraday's body aside against a wall, she took the two reserve blades he had, realizing in passing that his swords were modified, and stood facing the titan.
"I'm going to fight, I'm not going to die because then I cannot remember you, Eren. I'm not going to die because then Faraday would die too, I'm going to fight!"
While Mikasa had these thoughts, another titan appeared behind her.
Then she let out a war cry ready to face the titan.
And then the titan behind her hit the one in front, ignoring her completely.
Mikasa was shocked how that rogue titan attacked the other, to end up biting the nape.
"A titan that kills titans ...?" The brunette thought incredulously.
Faraday, who had been able to refocus his senses, also looked incredulous at that titan who was ignoring them in order to kill the other titan.
"Mikasa! Faraday!"
Armin's voice reached the ears of both. The blond-haired boy arrived with two gas tanks in his hands.
"Armin ..." Mikasa greeted the boy.
"I knew you two would be fine." Armin said watching Faraday who was leaning on the brunette.
"How did the squad arrive?" The white-haired asked immediately, making Armin stiff.
"We arrived well in general, there were 5 casualties, but we were able to get to the barracks, the tank is full of titans, but we all put all the gas that was left in these 4 containers, first we were going to do it in 2 so I could come for Mikasa, but I thought that probably Faraday will also have run out of gas, and I was not wrong." The blue eye said looking at Faraday, finally realizing the other titan behind them; he was about to put himself on guard, but was stopped by those with opposite hair.
"No, Armin, that titan is an abnormal who kills titans, he practically saved our lives." The black-haired explained. Then Armin saw how the rogue titan struck one who had just arrived.
"Anyway, There You have." Armin began to remove his two tanks before the confused look of the two.
"What are you doing, Armin?" Faraday asked.
"It's obvious, you two are going to take these tanks and they will leave." Armin said with apparent calmness.
"But, did not you bring for you?" Mikasa asked, not wanting to believe what his friend was implying.
"No, I'm not necessary, you guys go, we cannot do it without you, I'm dispensable." The blonde was explained finishing connecting the tanks to Mikasa and Faraday's teams.
"I'm going to stay with this, I would not want to be eaten alive." Armin held a broken blade trembling in his hands, however, Faraday kicked it away.
"We do not make unnecessary sacrifices." Said the white-haired boy, looking at him coldly.
"But, taking someone in a field infested with titans is suicide, and I noticed that you were a bit hurt, Faraday." The blond objected. Faraday huffed.
"Armin, you know very well that I've become worse and still stand up, we were roommates for three years." It reminded him of his blond friend. Armin ducked his head, it was true, the blond came to see how the albino went jogging early in the morning with crooked ankles, to push-ups with dislocated shoulders and broken wrists; that man was a monster physically, every time he broke he armed himself with more strength.
"Besides, I'll take you, Armin. Look at that titan, it's the irony of human anger." Mikasa said, leaving Armin speechless.
However, before leaving, Armin looked at that roguish titan fighting another titan. Had an idea.
Time after.
The cadets of the 104 were able to successfully recover the deposit following the plan that Armin had told them before going to look for Mikasa and Faraday. The boy had practically said goodbye and everyone knew, so they were surprised when he arrived in the arms of Mikasa along with Faraday, just after a titan apparently smashed another titan against the wall of the barracks, leaving a hole in the wall.
"Guys, you're alive!" Celebrated Jean. All the cadets breathed easy seeing their two strongest members alive.
Everyone decided to take time to regain strength.
Diary of a soldier.
We ride it by little. I do not know what the hell I did to kill that titan without gas, but the point is that Mikasa and I are alive. That strange Titan also saved our lives.
I am still worried about the deaths of Eren, Thomas and Mina. I feel that I failed them, but I will live for them, I will fight for them. Your sacrifice will not be in vain.
End Diary of a soldier.
Faraday was at the top of the barracks, evaluating the best routes to reach the wall.
"Very well, we are 27 in total, to avoid attracting titans we will go in groups of five to the wall in that direction, Mikasa and I will go last, there are no titans in that area within a radius of 200 meters." The white-haired boy said, pointing with his hand. It was time and all of Faraday's close friends still did not get used to his prodigious eyes, the worst thing was that every time they asked him he said that in reality he developed that ability. It was true, when he had to learn to steal, he had to evaluate his options well, look at the possible routes of escape and notice to the distance if there was any soldier or other obstacle that could prevent his escape.
The first four groups reached the wall successfully, leaving Mikasa, Faraday, Armin, Jean, Reiner, Annie and Berthold, who were now looking at the rogue Titan, debating whether they should keep him alive or not.
However, the titan fell limp to the ground, apparently exhausted. Jean hurried his comrades, claiming that there was nothing left to do. But then something strange came out of the nape of the titan: a human.
Eren Jeager.
Mikasa descended at full speed with Faraday following her. The brunette and the white-haired could confirm that it was Eren. The girl embraced the body of her family and pressed her ear to the breast of the chestnut-colored, being able to hear the beating of his heart; then she begins to cry.
Faraday, though confused, was happy that his friend was somehow alive.
Sometime later, Faraday ordered everyone to leave, including Mikasa to take care of Eren.
"Why don't you come with us?" Mikasa asked, emerging from her stupor and excitement at the resurrection of her only family. The white-haired then looked at south, making everyone look over there. There were two abnormal 18-meter volcanic approaching.
"Those things would be a problem; I have to get rid of them now." The boy said taking out his last pair of customized swords, in the other slots there were only normal swords.
"What, are you trying to get rid alone those things?" Jean asked incredulously.
"We can help you, Faraday." Reiner offered.
"No, you must protect Eren." The white-haired man declared before the confused look of those present.
"Protect it?" The shorter blond asked.
"Yes, shortly before Eren came out of the nape of the titan, I observed some garrison soldiers approaching, probably offering support, I'm sure they saw Eren, and since they never came to us, I guess they were scared to report to the superiors, right now they must be waiting for Eren to interrogate him or kill him. " Explained the light-blue-eyed.
Everyone understood the situation and proceeded to leave. Mikasa looked at Faraday before leaving, passed Reiner to Eren and went to hug the white-haired one.
"Do not die, please ..." the jet begged. The light-blue-eyed returned the hug.
"I would like to promise you ... But I can only tell you to have faith." He was honest with the girl, who looked at him one last time before leaving, taking Eren from Reiner's arms to leave.
The white-haired looked at the two titans, both about 20 meters from his position, but looking at the group that was leaving. He would have to cut at least one knee down to one to immediately take advantage and do as much damage as possible to the other while the first recovered; if it was fast enough it would have ended with one for when the other would regenerate completely.
"I will not fail this time ... Mikasa, I will not let your confidence in me be in vain."
