Armin's POV

"We need to get on one of those boats without the Yeagerists seeing us." Commander Hange said.

We are hiding behind this hill while observing what is happening on the port. Eren is crossing the sea now and we need to follow him so that we can stop his plan. But it's not going to be easy when there are still Yeagerists left. It seems that they are loading weapons and bombs on a boat to help Eren. We also have Yelena tied up and has cover on her mouth so we can prevent her from ruining our plan. Commander Hange entrusted Captain Levi to the Azumabito so they can treat him.

"But what if they see us?" Connie replied.

"Then we fight them." Commander Hange said with a blank face. "If they see us, they will hundred percent try to stop us, or worse, kill us. And I can't let that happen especially when we are the only one who can talk Eren out of his horrible plan."

"B-But they are our comrades!" I cried " We are not supposed to fight or hurt each other! I-If they see us, maybe I can convin-"

"They see us as a traitor now Armin." Mikasa cuts my talking. Everybody suddenly looked at her. " It's no use talking them out on killing us if they ever see us. The best that we can do now is to get in that boat and leave as quickly as possible."

She suddenly stood and put on her 3DMG. "Let's go now, Eren must not be that far. We can still stop him."

"Mikasa's right. This is the only plan we have. We should not fail here at least" Jean second. He stood up as well. Connie, Annie and Reiner started preparing too. While we are fixing our 3DMGs, I looked at Mikasa worriedly.

I know you're hurt still after what he said. I'm hurt as well. But I know he did not mean it. I know he doesn't hate you, Mikasa.

"Let's go, everyone. We will the west route so that they will not see us. Try not to make noises that can alarm them" Hange announced. Everybody nod and we started advancing to the port.

We are close now. We have successfully reached the building near the port and we can get in the boat and leave.

"We need to be careful now." Annie said. "We can get on the boat one by one while those stupid Yeagerists are loading weapons on the big boat."

The Yeagerists is not so far that we can still hear their talking, but it's far enough for us to get on the boat and leave.

Commander Hange goes first, followed by Magath then Connie, Jean and Annie. Reiner and I followed together with Yelena. I signaled Mikasa to follow. Suddenly someone shouted and we hid ourselves.

"THE TRAITOR'S ARE HERE! THEY ARE PLANNING TO TAKE OUR BOAT!"

"Mikasa! Run!" I shouted. Mikasa quickly got on the boat and hid as well.

"Shit, shit, shit! What do we do now?!" Connie panicked as he sneak a peek over the boat. "They are running to come here now, they are getting weapons! They're gonna kill us!"

"Calm the fuck down Connie!" Jean said nervously. " Now's not the time to panic! We have to come up with a plan!"

We looked at Hange when she suddenly turned around and get something from a crate. Her eyes suddenly got bigger.

"I didn't actually think that they will also leave some on this boat." Hange said.

"A-A bomb?" Magath said. "We can use that! We can use that to buy time so that we can leave there without Yeagerists stopping us!"

"But they are so close now" Reiner informed them while looking at the other side of the port. "Someone has to stay and fight them and wait for the bomb to explode."

"W-What?! That's stupid!" Jean exclaimed. "B-but we all have to go and stop Ere-"

"I'll do it."

Everyone looked at Mikasa. I looked at her in disbelief. I know she's really eager for this plan of ours to work but to be suicidal is too much.

"With my strength, I can probably buy you guys time to leave the port while I wait for the bomb to explode." Mikasa suggested. "As long as you guys can get far as quickly as possi-"

"Are you hearing yourself?! You are absolutely unbelievable!" Jean shouted. "You are not going to kill yourself! If someone has to go, then I'll do i-"

"You don't understand, Jean." Mikasa looked at him intently. " It's only a matter of time until they get here and shoot us all. If we have to sacrifice one life for this plan to go well, I'm willing to do it." She stood and get the bomb.

"Plus, I think I will not be that much of a help when we get to face Eren. I will probably stop you guys from hurting him. I will be a hindrance on this plan so this is the best that I can do. Because a slave will do anything to protect it's master."

We all got quiet. I didn't expect that she would said that. I knew it, she's still hurting.

"Hange, please start driving the boat after I leave" Mikasa said. Hange nod as a response.

"Mikasa" I called. "You don't have to do this. We can think of another pla-"

I stopped. She smiled at me while sadness is there in her eyes. I can't help but to feel the tears at the brim of my eyes, waiting to fall. Then she suddenly hugged me.

"Armin, there's not much time." She whispered. "I trust you to get this plan successful."

"Mikasa" I said. I didn't stopped the tears from flowing through my eyes after that.

She then left the boat and started the timer of the bomb. Magath detached the anchor and Hange started to drive the boat. Mikasa is at the port getting ready to fight the Yeagerists.

"Jean, Connie, Annie! Use the guns that's on the crate to help Ackerman! Shoot the Yeagerists on the legs if possible!" Hange commanded. The three followed and started to shoot at the Yeagerists. Mikasa started to fight the Yeagerists while using her 3DMG to avoid the

I cried and cried. I can't stand the noises from shooting. Nether can I stand watching my friend fighting our old comrade with the possibility of her dying. I'm crying so much I didn't notice that we actually got far.

I looked at Mikasa, still fighting when she was suddenly shot. We saw how her head hit on one of the metal poles at the port and she fell on the water. I felt like someone poured a freezing water on me.

"SHOOT THEIR BOAT! DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" the enemy shouted at his comrades.

After that horrifying sight, I shouted her name, hoping that she's okay and get back to the surface. My eyes can't stop the tears. I want to go back, I want to help her. If only Jean and Annie isn't stopping me.

Mikasa, please live. You're the only family I have. After Eren abandoned us, you are the only one who I have. Please don't die.

I took another look at the port and my eyes widened. I gasped.

Kiyomi Azumabito is there. With her soldiers. Stopping the Yeagerists from shooting and following us. We're far from there but I know she's looking at me. Looking at my soul. I felt shiver down to my spine. I felt dizzy causing me to fell on the floor.

I'm sorry, Mikasa.
