The Warrior's
The almighty has fallen.
Those who have begotten power.
As they stand shoulder to shoulder.
They Never surrender.
Seeing her smile is the main focus amongst the chaos, the titans disappearing as the survivor's cough from the dust that arose from the tower that collapsed.
To her sight, his grin is a welcoming sight, as the arriving scouts aid the others, the distance between the two, closed.
To Alan it is like chasing a dream, as the smell of her hair, soothed his thoughts, the touch of her skin brought a feeling he wish he could keep for the rest of his life, his need for her comfort, her need for his.
Eren watched the two as they embraced, he knew that after what happened it was inevitable, his attention drawn to Garrus, who seem to have a fit from their near-death experience.
"That is, the last time" Garrus breathed between deep breaths "We be following Captain fucking crazy, fucking crazy plans" darting daggers towards Alan, not too pleased that toppling the tower with them on top of it was the best plan they have, but then again they did it on his bloody terms. Alan got lucky, that is all Garrus can find on that silver lining.
"Enough with your whining Garrus" Bruno grunted as heaved himself off his feet, feeling ache in his leg, that will come sore later "We are all alive, be thankful for that"
Turning to see Izzy dazed on the floor, she will live, taking her hand as Bruno gently lifted the poor girl. Nodding her head in thanks.
Ymir, coming out of her titan, marks on her face, as she collapsed weakly onto the floor, her breath heavy, Christa running to her side, relief shown as she placed herself by her side.
"Hey Christa" Ymir spoken weakly expecting her darling Christa to bring her end of the deal.
Tears running down Christa's face as her smile shine with the sun dawning.
"Historia" was the words escaping her lips, Ymir smiling as she drift into unconsciousness.
Bruno catching those words, strange why would she have a second name, unless she did it in secret, that will be a question for another day. Assisting the scouts into a stretcher covering her in cloth to keep her unconscious body warm, leather straps were tightened to prevent her from falling, and if Bruno were to have a feeling also prevent her from transforming into one of those titans.
Today is a strange day indeed.
"Hey Bruno" a voice acquiring his attention.
"Armin how have your day been?" seeing the tiredness in his eyes, it appears they have ridden in the night.
"Well Section Commander Hange had us heading here because it's closet to the walls" Armin spoke looking at the rubble and chewed corpses, his frown evident "It is good thing we did"
"Indeed" Bruno spoke, now looking onto Ymir, Christa kneeling by her side "When you think you have all the answers, more questions arises"
Armin following his gaze nodded "Yeah, still I am surprised to see Ymir of all people to be able to turn into a titan"
"The question is, is she friend or foe?" Bruno affirmed, Christa giving a cold gaze.
"She saved our lives, if she didn't do what she done" Christa defending her "She tore down the tower, to stop the titans"
Bruno returning the cold gaze, as Armin looked between the two.
"Only on the orders of Alan Braun, your Ymir would be soon dead before she could even think to bring the tower down" Bruno retorted nodding to Alan who seem to be heading towards Eren, smiles on their faces "You should give your thanks to him that we are all alive"
Leaving Christa to her thoughts, Armin, jogging along the tall friend in his long strides.
"Don't you think that was harsh Bruno?" Armin asked, it feels that his comrades from the 104th have changed, Bruno seem to be cheerful back in training, but ever since his friends died in Trost, he changed.
"It is only the truth Armin, A harsh lesson to everyone unable to face it" Bruno stated, rubbing his beard, the beard is coming nicely.
"True, but shouldn't the truth be told more gently?" Armin retorted back.
Bruno blinked, pondering on his words, the truth be told gently, no, Dorian and Marcus did not have the truth done to them gently. Bruno and Garrus have to face the harsh reality that nothing is simple, nothing is gentle, only take happiness in what they make.
Armin have not faced such harsh reality yet, maybe he did, he is still naïve that you cannot be harsh with the truth.
"Remember when your grandfather have been used for fodder for the 'greater good' of mankind?" being bitter on the greater good, Armin stopped his pace, remembering that part of his life "Would you have the truth be gentle, or the have it be harsh and cold as reality?"
Bruno studied Armin's mixed expression, confusion, confliction, sadness. Yet no answer came.
"My thoughts exactly" Bruno spoke finalising the conversation. There are more pressing matters to attend to, Reiner seem to like to sit on the floor, his features as if in a trance, strange.
"Reiner" Alan called, Eren striding with him in pace, Alan stretched out his hand, as Reiner stare at it, before taking it.
"You ok?" Alan asked, concern in his voice, as his eyes laid onto his arm in a sling "You're not going to bleed out on us, are you?" joking at Reiner's injury.
Returning a weak smile "You know better that it take a bite to take me down" looking at his arm, "Hope this isn't infectious"
Eren laughed "You're not going to turn into a titan if you get bit by one" not noticing Reiner's reaction as if wanting to say something, Alan unfortunately did.
"Let us get you guys out of here, get you patched up and we be kicking titan arse in no time" Alan spoke up, patting Reiner's better shoulder.
Reiner can only look at Alan for a moment, blinking himself back into where he is "Yeah".
Mikasa, watched the whole scenario, something felt a bit off with Reiner, apparently Alan did to.
Guilt building inside her again as the conversation earlier made it worse on her suspicions.
"We have to do what?" Eren exclaimed as he stared at Hange and Armin, as Levi stood there listening, as they stood in stone room, with a wooden table to the side as the torches illuminated the entire room.
"Eren, Reiner could be the spy" Armin declared, a suspicion that they pass off but cannot confirm until now.
"We been over this before, Reiner is our comrade, Alan's brother!" Eren raising his voice, temper flaring.
"What of Annie Leonhart?" Hange pressed "Was she not a comrade you trained with?" causing Eren to halt in his movement's words trapped in his throat at the memory of the incident in Stohess.
"Reiner Braun is from the same village as Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt is also part of it" Hange spoke, turning to Armin in case she missed anything, Armin nodded that she cleared all her facts.
"Is Alan under suspicion as well?" Eren bit back.
Mikasa tensed, not wanting that to be true.
"No, he was as we been aware of, from Shinganshia, you both confirmed him, or was you mistaken?" Hange hummed, watching their reactions, more of Mikasa's.
"Of course, he is, Mikasa, say something?" Eren putting Mikasa on the spot, she prefer not to talk or think that Alan is a traitor, he defended, protected, loved her. A traitor would never do these things.
"Hange, if he were to be a traitor, he had many opportunities when he was alone with Eren and myself" Mikasa spoke, her face stoic, yet her eye twitched at the accusation, her temper controlled for the time being.
"Only asking" Hange interjected, noting the tension forming "Still the plan is to get Reiner and Bertholdt underground, to be safe, Mikasa, you have to distract Alan"
Blinking at her words "You know he will see through this, he found out our suspicions because I could not lie to him"
"You don't need to lie" Levi brashly spoke "Just to keep occupied enough for him to not notice Braun's and Hoover's absence, which should be easy since your fucking him"
Mikasa eyes pooped out of her head, as Armin and Eren gaped at the choice of words their brows sweating at the reaction happening before them.
"You want me to use our relationship as a means to deceive him?" Mikasa seethed "I would rather not hurt him as he would be if he were to find out"
"That kid is more protective of the ox as you are as protective with Eren" Levi, casually said, not perturbed from her aggressive reaction.
Levi have a feeling that Alan strength is the same as his and Mikasa's, yet something else is augmented it as well.
"Mikasa, we wouldn't be asking you this if it wasn't serious" Armin pleaded "Please, it is to protect both Alan and Eren" Armin using the two people she cares deeply for.
Mikasa, gritting her teeth, before breathing, something Alan taught her to stay calm under stress "Fine, only to protect them both"
Blinking away from her memory, her eyes catching Bertholdt, Bertholdt had concern plastered over his face, as he looked at Reiner from a distance.
"He be ok Bertholdt" Mikasa, attempt of reassurance, as Bertholdt startled for a split second before relaxing.
"Yeah, it's just, happened so fast, hearing his shouts, I thought of Garrus told us how he used a pitch fork, I held the titan back until the others dropped a cannon down on it" Bertholdt spoke, reminiscing from the incident, "It went for Connie an Reiner took the hit, he was about to sacrifice himself to save us"
Mikasa listened, as he said that Ymir came and stabbed the titans jaw with a shiv releasing Reiner and it was thrown out the window, that's when Alan came about and abandoned the rest of the scouts for him.
"You are both very brave" Mikasa said, Bertholdt surprise on his face before a small smile came on his lips.
"I just wanted to protect everyone I can, still I can't believe Alan abandoned the fight" Bertholdt spoke, but then again, they all died, and Alan would be amongst them.
"He saw Reiner in trouble and being his only family, I understand why he did, what he did" Bertholdt concluded.
Family, Mikasa, knew that so well, both Alan and Eren became her family, Bertholdt rescued a childhood friend, his only family and Alan defended his family, her heart beat as her thoughts turn to Alan, even under all that stress he still tried his best for those he cared about.
Her thoughts bringing up ill feeling again, what she have been asked to do, her brow furrowed, how she hates duty she has to perform.
"You ok?" Bertholdt asked, puzzled with the sudden confliction.
Cursing herself for showing such thoughts yet relieved it is only Bertholdt. "I am fine, just worried about Alan" not a complete lie, something she can get behind, regretting to now after hearing Bertholdt that they would have to go through later.
Ironic, if they were to be innocent in this matter that they feel betrayed, no doubt Alan would, trust is something Mikasa holds firmly, trusting others to make the right decisions, trusting herself to keep Eren safe no matter what, the only command Captain Levi gave which she have no problem in carrying.
"You best see if Reiner is ok" Mikasa recommended, which Bertholdt is all to happy to do, is she still have that intimidating aura? Doubtful Alan would have said something about it.
"Ok guys, we be heading up onto the wall" Hange called out, given enough time for them to recover, as time is pressing, eager to find the hole that are letting the titans in, no doubt the Garrison and the Military Police are doing their sweep of the southern parts of the wall.
"Even titan woman here?" Garrus called out, which Hange looked down to see the strapped-up Ymir, amusing how Garrus calls her that now, to the displeasure of Christa.
"Yeah her as well" Hange agreed, a bit chirpier "You may need to carry her on your back"
"What? We just strapped her in and making her so cosy and all" Garrus sarcastically remarked, Hange even more amused with the kids reaction, wish she could have some form of fun, apparently he's the only guy that can make titans to show emotion. The fun she would have having him doing all type of stuff, but now they have more dire events to tend to.
Placing her hand in her chin she looked over to the wall, in the distance, if her eye's haven't deceived her, she can see what appears to be an elevator leading to the top of the wall, if that's the case they can get the supplies and the titan woman on top of the wall, quickly and efficiently, can't leave her on the ground for the titans to gobble up.
"Wall is not too far away, if we are lucky there may be an elevator to use" Clapping her hands together "Let's get moving before more titans shows up" the mention of titans got all the scouts into a scramble, some on lookout in case they come along.
Hearing this Alan turned to look, before subconsciously reaching into his jacket pocket, finding his leather diary missing, as Alan quickly patted the rest of his pockets frantically, shit, this is not good.
Bertholdt tapping his shoulder as he pulled the diary out of his trouser pocket "Looking for this?" Bertholdt said.
Alan eyed it for a moment, noticing the state his attire is in, he assume Bertholdt took it off him for safe keeping, no doubt it be ripped out. Tossing his torn jacket aside, luckily, he was given a new cloak as the other was badly torn, unwearable.
"You hold onto it, Bert, until I get better wear" joking at his state, he's surprised the state of his white trousers is now ripped and grey, his knife still strapped to his left leg, astounding how durable the leather he has it sheathed in is still holding out.
"That's one of the reasons why I got it" Bertholdt smiling and nodding.
"Always the Assistant logistics, what would I ever do without you?" Alan smiled.
"An empty diary, because you have no pencil to write with" Bertholdt returning the joke, to which both laugh. It felt good, being able to laugh again.
"Come on, let's get out of here, you're going to hold your own, Reiner?" Alan questioned, seeing Reiner's eyes still glazed over, as if thinking.
"Hey, snap out of it" Alan tapping his cheek "We be ok, just keep moving forward like we always done"
Reiner blinking, looking into Alan's eyes "Yeah, your right, like we always done" giving his own smile, yet the smile not reaching to his eyes.
Looking to Bertholdt as if the same question went unspoken to him, Bertholdt smiled, happy that the three are together again, if Annie was here it be even better, he might ask Alan later about her.
The journey took an hour or two at most as they hurried to the walls, the higher ground they be at the safer they will be, since there could be titans roaming about inside wall Rose.
Mikasa kept close to Alan, with Eren in her view as well, she just need to figure out a few unsettling thoughts residing within her as if something terrible would happen.
Feeling his hand brushing against hers, letting out a small gasp escaping her lips, as her own hand wondered back to the feeling of his, finding it at last, twirling her fingers around his, the grooves, scratches that have been recently formed the roughness, how she want them to roam over her body, shaking the thoughts, finding now is not to have them.
Feeling his glances falling on her own, small moments like these are enough to satisfy their need, his presence as always soothes and calm her thoughts, seeing him reunited with Reiner and with her nearby, it perform miracles on his mental state as he appeared calm, apparently forgetting the conflict that fallen upon him after Stohess.
Now Mikasa have to make sure that his mood stays as it is, seeing the wall coming close, a few scouts climbing the walls to bring the elevator down to bring the her friends and comrades up, for they still do not have ODM gear to get up safely without injury.
"Once we get up onto the wall, we will begin scouring for any holes" Hange commanded "Section Commander Frey would be here soon after his search in the western wall"
The platform of the elevator slowly lowered to their height.
"Load the injured and supplies on first" Hange spoke as Moblit relayed the orders that have not heard it to begin with.
It was a tedious task, something Alan and Mikasa had no trouble with their strength alone, as soon everyone stood on the platform, whirring sounds began as the ropes slowly lifted them up.
The scene of the horizon was breath taking, the forest in the distance and the great plains, green and yellow combining, the now ruined castle in view, few villages afar, hoping that the civilians have gotten out, surprisingly no titan can be seen, things seem to turn for the better, which means the breach is not even close to their part of the wall, yet where the beast titan disappeared to they do not know.
Reaching their way up, the elevator stopped some ways, as it came to a halt.
"This is our stop Hange, we can lift everyone up, leave the supplies on here, but bring the recruit with us, for precautions" Moblit suggested, Hange nodding as she got herself up onto the wall, as she scour the area.
"Send the elevator down and bring the recruits up, We will have to look on both sides to see where the titans go" Hange commented, hoping that there are any titans about on the hostile side of the wall.
Alan calmly sat on the edge as he watched the elevator drop down for the rest, alone to his thoughts as Mikasa opted to stick by Eren, this time.
The sun rising as cloud headed their way, is feels too peaceful, how long this will last, listening to Hange's theories after seeing no wall, titans coming from underground, Alan huffed at the comment, if that's the case they all be dead and humanity would crumble.
Yet somehow another part of him is telling him that is not the case, the same dark voice, entering his mind.
His mind rushing until a hand placed on his shoulder, looking to see Armin standing there.
"Hey, you look like your mind went somewhere else?" Armin's smile crossed his lips, worried quite a bit.
Blinking as he saw the rest of the recruits climbing up the small ladder that was placed on the elevator, how long his mind spaced out, is he losing it already?
"Just been a long day" Alan replied, not too sure what to say.
"It sure has" Armin spoke "Besides when we find the breach, we should get some form of rest after all of this" waving to the horizon.
Alan looked on as Mikasa lifted herself up following with Eren, as they heave each of the 104th members up.
Looking to Mikasa, he sure would get some rest later, yet something in his mind is saying they would not.
"Would we really Armin?" Alan spoke up, Armin turning his sight, looking at Alan's face as he looked outwards, the dark blue's sullen after a day and nights constant march through hell "Are we really going to rest at the end of everything?"
Truth be told, Armin could not answer, seeing that the question was not of today but of tomorrow and the future, could they truly rest, that would be a question for another day as Bruno would put it.
Mikasa calmly strolled to the two, her eyes glanced to Armin both nodding in a unspoken conversation, Armin re-joining the Hange and her squad.
"Alan it is time to go" Mikasa calmly stated, gently holding his hand and lifting him up, she could see in his eyes a constant battle, the guilt and pain. She should have stayed with him, leaving himself to his own thoughts and demons alone could do some damage mentally.
Maybe it is the aggressive side to him, the one hurt, the child from her town, fighting against the man he tries to be.
Seeing Eren, picking Bertholdt up, they both picked Reiner up onto the wall, Reiner's eyes heavy, still entranced.
Neighing of horses drawn their attention, the Garrison soldiers riding along, amongst them is the captain Hanne's and Section Commander Frey, his face serious as Hange stopped to see.
"He must have found the breach!" Hange slamming her fist in her hand, smiling at the thought, watching the captain lifting up with their ODM.
"So, did you find the breach Frey?" Hange asked, already expecting the next answer. To her shock Frey shook his head.
"We cleared the eastern walls, Captain Hannes checked the western side, no breach have been located" Frey spoke, as Hange stood in thought "This is the strangest part, we have not encountered any titans on the way here either"
That is troubling news, maybe Hange is right about burrowing titans after all.
"We should keep moving and double check, we might have missed something" Hange concluded, unable to make sense of what's happening.
"Agreed, we must do this quickly while we still have day light" Frey agreeing to her words, it's best to double check to be sure "Alright soldiers move out"
The order given as the soldiers turn to opposite directions as they moved out, as Hange and Frey discuss theories as they walked the top of the wall.
Eren turned to walk with Alan and Mikasa, already heading towards Hange's group until a hand laid on his shoulder.
"Eren, a moment please" Halting Eren in the process, Alan turning round to see what is going on. "We need to talk"
Eren waved to Alan and Mikasa "I catch up with you guys, don't worry" with that Alan and Mikasa continued their path.
Alan feeling calmer with Mikasa by his side as she hummed a little tune that she does when she is by him, but that soon come crashing down when he heard Reiner's next words"
"Five years ago, we demolished the wall and began our attack on humanity"
Alan heart stopped, his eyes widened, halting in his steps, his eyes looking down as something in his head screamed, Mikasa kept walking not noticing his halt in steps.
Listening to Bertholdt as he questioned Reiner "Why are you telling him, Reiner?"
Alan listened more "Our primary goal was to ensure all of humanity was wiped out, but now there's no need for that" now noticing Mikasa, halting her steps as she looked behind, noticing Alan is not following and the haunted look in his eyes as he stared at the ground.
Her eyes followed to Reiner, hearing his 'primary goal', Alan must have heard him, her heart beating faster, she have to think of a way to get him far away from Reiner.
"I know this is sudden, but we need to go now"
Eren confused voice echoed "What? Where are we even supposed to go?"
Reiner's calm voice returned immediately "I cannot say yet"
Can not say? Is this a trick? Is this a lie?
Alan mind racing, why would Reiner say all this? Clenching his fist as conflict fought within, the shadow from his dreams forming into the titan that reached, it is voice deep and dark.
This is no Lie
Lies! Reiner is his sworn brother.
You are sworn brothers to the end, you lie to yourself, you lie to everyone even her.
Mikasa watching noticing his hands are shaking, closing her eyes, she can almost feel his pain, his guilt, his anger, her hand resting on her blade, waiting to see if this is all a farce.
"Your just tired, aren't you Reiner?" hearing Eren, yeah maybe he is tired and just imagining it all, Alan thought, there is no way.
DO NOT LIE TO YOURSELF!
"Right Bertholdt?" Eren not putting the spotlight on Bertholdt "You guys have gone through crazy, Reiner is just not thinking straight"
Even Bertholdt voice was fearful, full of concern as his expression dashed between Reiner and the Alan who is back still turned to them.
"Yeah, he's just tired that's all" Bertholdt spoke, not believing his own words.
"Besides if your really hell bent on destroying Humanity, did you think I just nod and say 'sure, let's go' if you ask nicely?" Eren joking at the moment, yet the atmosphere still tense from such a declaration.
Silence as Reiner's gasp filled the void. The winds taking pace, as Mikasa watches the trio, her eyes now on Alan wanting him to look at her, she wants to tell him everything will be ok, yet he refused to look as his haunted expression remained on the floor.
"Oh, right, that's right" Reiner finally spoke, his voice shaking, as if his mind were shattered, Alan hearing him now as he listened.
"What the hell am I thinking"
"Have I really gone crazy?"
It feels as if Reiner is voicing Alan's thoughts as their bond became one at this moment.
Eren no longer finding this amusing decides to start walking to where Alan is "Come on let's go"
After saying this the wind picked up furiously, the Flag on the wall, Alan focused on how it flapped quickly, until the pole snapped, the sound echoing through, for everyone to stop their movements turning their view to Reiner.
Through the clouds, rays of sun peered through onto the wall.
Mikasa now focused on Reiner, her hand now shaking.
Alan eyes, shown movement, looking at Mikasa's shaking hand on her blade, his eyes widened.
"I see, that's it" Reiner spoke even more, his voice quivering in pain "I've been here too long for my own good"
They have been here for too long
"It's been three long years" Alan can hear him clear as day, noticing Mikasa could not, for that he is thankful.
"We were just kids; we didn't know anything"
He is right, we did not know anything
Tears, starting to form on Alan's eyes, to Mikasa the pain is becoming overbearing, the conflict now obvious. Mikasa, seeing him openly showing it brought more ache, he never shows it publicly, her strength would be only to do what Alan could not.
"If only I never knew that there were people like this" His brothers voice shaking furiously, as the guilt pressured onto him "I… Wouldn't have become… SUCH a half-assed piece of shit!"
Hearing the shuffling as Alan turned to see Reiner removing his cloth that was hiding his true form
"It's too late now, I don't know what's right anymore." Revealing his arm, as steam started to radiate from his arm.
"… And as a Warrior…" Reiner's voice grew determined, no longer hiding behind fake walls "Fulfil my DUTY to the bitter end!"
Something snapped in Alan's mind at the two words put together.
Duty.
Warrior.
"Reiner! Are we doing it? Now? Right here?!" Bertholdt's voice no longer weak or timid but full-blown sincerity.
"Yeah, we will settle this right here right now!"
As all this was being spoken, Alan felt Mikasa, rush past him, her blade already drawn.
As time slowed, his mind now forming the shadow within his mind becoming clearer to him, as the dark figure plagued his dreams revealed itself, its own true form.
Closing his eyes, He took a deep breath.
Mikasa rushed past Alan, with full speed, intending to get to Reiner quickly, she has to do it, Alan would be unable to, she has to put an end to Reiner.
Her rage filled her heart as she saw Reiner walking to the stunned Eren, who is unable to move as she flew over from behind, pushing Eren to the side, while swinging her blade to Reiner's neck, unfortunately he saw her at a second moment, as he lift his arm to halt the swing, but her strength pulled through cleaving his arm off as her blade imbedded into his other hand halting before her aim marked his neck.
Kicking him aside, she spun around to Bertholdt, who can only watch in shock at how Reiner fell, until his own throat is sliced as Mikasa made both the warrior's fall.
Two traitors now on the floor, be easy to go for Bertholdt, but he is too occupied with his throat, the real threat would be Reiner, turning herself to the man still on the floor, she pinner her foot on his throat holding the blade above his chest.
'I'm sorry Alan' fighting back the tears, "Eren get out of here!" Mikasa cried out, until a force hit her side, as she flew off the side.
'Has Bertholdt healed so quickly?' Mikasa can only think until a voice sent chills down her throat as she saw a green cloak flew off the side of the wall.
"BERTHOLDT! REINER!" a cry came so loud full of anger and determination.
Eren can watch in horror as Alan flung his cloak away, as he unsheathed his knife from his leg, slicing his own hand, his Dark blue's looking back at his Emeralds, as Reiner stood up beside him and Bertholdt crouched. As electricity formed around them
A Thunderous crack and a pillar of yellow lightning illuminated the wall where the three stood, the combined winds shook the foundations, sweeping everyone off their feet.
Mikasa watched as the Colossal titan half formed on the wall as it roared in fury, but two other titans rose behind, both plated in armour.
The Armoured titan, and the Titan that reached, towering above, her heart broke, her mind unable to register what happened and why.
The Armoured titan grabbing Eren before he could fall.
The stretcher Ymir is on flew as the Immortal titan roared, the colossal titan reaching and grabbing Ymir as the steam pushed people away, grabbing onto her.
"YMIR!" Christa cried out as, Ymir's unconscious form gets carried away.
Another growl originated from the Immortal titan, the Armoured titan nodding to its command leapt to the titan side of the wall, freefalling down, but using it's armoured hand to lessen it's speed.
As this was happening Eren, held back tears as memories flew past his mind.
Reiner, Bertholdt and Alan, helping him and his friends, how they were to do their duty as soldiers.
Reiner's brotherly attitude as he helped everyone with their skills, honing them, looking out for them.
Bertholdt, helping them understand, being friendly, showing kindness even when they were weak.
He remembered the night when they were together and how both and Alan and Reiner promised to each other to get them home.
Alan, his cheery grin, Eren thought of him as an extended member of the family, he even loved and cared for Mikasa.
Mikasa, that Bastard betrayed her, that bastard now hurt her to her very core.
Opening his eyes full of rage as Eren focused on the pain the three now give at their treachery.
"YOU FUCKING TRAITORS!" Eren screamed before biting deeply down as yellow lightning formed, Eren transforming, his titan formed roaring in pure fury as he swung its fist into the Armoured titan.
Mikasa, landing on the hard-grassy ground, from the impact of the wind and the empty feeling filling her heart, watching Eren now fighting the armoured titan.
Her limbs refusing to move as her heart gave in, emotions pouring as her tears forcing through.
Was it all a lie? Was he all a lie?
Her heart bleeding intensely every time she thought of him, hearing his roars, as both the immortal titan and the colossal titan do battle above.
Hearing a thud next to her an elder scout landing next to her, his blonde scruffy hair and beard showing he's Section commander Frey, his glare intensified when he saw her form, looking back up the wall and back down to her.
The poor girl is in no shape to fight, it is like her will and strength have been sapped right of her. Frey pitied her, how she unknowingly loved a traitor, but then again, the kid fooled them all, until now.
"Stay here and don't do anything" Frey commanded as the titans fought in the distance.
"But I need to help Eren" Mikasa pleaded, as she tried to stand up but her strength failing her.
"Stand down Ackerman, you're in no shape after the mental smack that's been handed to you" looking to the armoured titan "Besides our blades won't work against their hide"
"How did you know?" Mikasa asked.
"We lost a few soldiers to the bastard up there, that titan is keener in protecting the colossal titan, those that got passed it, the colossal shoots out steam that's too hot to handle"
"Should it have burned the titan" Mikasa wanted to say Alan, but her heart refused to compare to the man she loved to that monster.
"Seems like they are immune to it" Frey gritting his teeth before chuckling "It's like he planned for something like this"
No, he did not at all, then again, ever since Annie, Alan was not himself at all, always lost in his thoughts.
What if what you see now is his real self? Did he plan on helping Annie escape? dark thoughts pierced her thoughts, shaking her head at the dark thought. Not wanting to believe it still.
Erne roared as he grabbed Reiner around the neck, the armour cracking.
"The Armour cracked, once we have an opening, we save Yeager" Frey commented "Let us get into a better position, I can count on you for this one moment" Frey asked, needing Mikasa's confirmation.
Looking to Eren, he is the only one that matters at this moment, if she could not protect herself, she will die trying to protect Eren.
Nodding, taking section commander Frey's hand as he heaved her up and they jogged around the fight.
Eren now seem to grapple Reiner onto the floor, a move both Alan and Annie shown him, Mikasa recognise it instantly.
A roar from the armoured titan echoed in the battle, Eren crushing more breaking the armour. A sickening crumbling as Frey looked up, seeing the colossal titan falling, the immortal soon following from above.
Frey instantly shoved Mikasa away as the colossal crashed down on top of Eren and Reiner, as the titan that reached, landing nearby as submerged into the thick steam that protects them only to quickly emerge darting into the distance away from the wall into titan territory.
Mikasa can only watch as the Immortal titan flee, with Eren as its prize.
Her Heart shattered.
