Year 850

Jonathan looked at the titan, why the hell did it avoid them? Jonathan looked down at his hands and then looked at Mikasa, Mikasa seemed to be just as surprised as Jonathan. Jonathan didn't know what to say about the whole situation as he watched as the titan as it started to beat down on the titan.

"I'm not…" Jonathan blinked and rubbed his eyes as he looked over at Mikasa, "We have to get off the street."

"Yeah… yeah…" Mikasa was kind of paralyzed by the sight of the titan, the titan was now dead and the big titan was just standing over it. But then the titan lifted up his foot and then stomped onto the titans nape… he wouldn't be coming back. Mikasa felt something from behind and she was swept off her feet, Jonathan turned around and he was met with the same thing as Marco lifted him up and put him onto the roof. Mikasa was picked up by Armin.

Jonathan sat up and looked at Marco. "Now I know why you were the captain of the other team, commander." Jonathan said as he got up and looked at Marco, he looked slightly embarrassed but at the same time terrified because he was right next to a titan who was now fighting another titan.

The titan ran up to another titan, and then landed a right hook onto the 15 meter titan and dropped him. Again, a fatal stomp to the back of the head caused the titan to die. "That's… what is that?" Armin asked as he looked at Jonathan, Mikasa wasn't answering she must've still been shocked. Jonathan was shocked, he wanted to faint but he knew that this could be the turning point for humanity. If… if only… Eren was there… he would want this… to happen.

"It's a titan… but it won't attack us." Jonathan said, "That titan saved us… and… we have to stay with it… because something tells me if the titan can beat other titans…. then we can lead it to the HQ and then possibly clear out all of the titans there…"

"That… yeah. That could work! We just have to lead some of the titans there!" Armin said as he looked at Jonathan. "Come on follow me and Marco closely, you and Mikasa are probably running on fumes… you'll still be able to use the hooks but not move very quickly. Let's move that titan to the other titans."

"He's already… targeting all of them… like he's moving towards the HQ right now we just have to make sure these titans stay off of him." Jonathan said looking at Armin.

"Why? He looks he will be fine…" Armin commented as he looked as the titan eliminated a ten meter titan. Armin noticed something on Jonathan and Mikasa's gear, "Wait.. guys I think that I can fix your gear…" He commented as Armin started to fix Jonathan's gear. "Your blades are fine right?"

"Yeah." Jonathan stated.

Suddenly they heard a noise and Jonathan turned his head quickly, Jonathan saw his friend Connie. "You guys see that damn abnormal running around and knocking out other titans!" Connie commented as he looked at Jonathan.

"Yeah crazy ain't it?" Jonathan questioned and then remembered what Connie did for him. "Hey. Thanks for taking care of Armin."

"I didn't need to be taken care of…" Armin said defensively as he went over to Mikasa's gear and then started fixing it.

"Yes you did… luckily Mikasa talked some sense into you.." Jonathan said rubbing the head of Armin and messing up his hair.

"You have to stop that!" Armin shouted as he finished up fixing Mikasa's gear and then started to push Jonathan off. "Focus on the mission!"

Jonathan smirked at this, Armin had always hated Jonathan messing up his hair. Sometimes Jonathan would do it just to piss him off or make him upset, but at the end of the day it was all fun.

Year 849

"Jonathan! Stop doing that!" Armin shouted as Jonathan kept on putting his hand into his hair and shaking it around. Jonathan then grabbed Armin's book and then lifted it high above his head, because of his rather tall height at 5'11 Armin couldn't reach it. His cheeks turned red out of embarrassment and then tried to reach his books. "Give it!" Armin said punching him in the stomach.

"Ow." Jonathan's stomach was rather strong and Armin was rather weak, but then Jonathan saw something he didn't want to see. Sadness, Armin didn't look happy. He looked defeated, and he sighed deeply and then threw his hands up. "Armin…." Jonathan called after him.

Armin didn't say anything, he was tired of all the bullying… it felt like bullying and all Jonathan could do was laugh at him. Jonathan felt like absolute shit, he didn't feel like a good friend.. he talked with Armin and they had good conversations together! Jonathan felt like… maybe his height… and… no it couldn't be. Armin couldn't be afraid of Jonathan, Jonathan refused to believe it. He looked back up but Armin was gone. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "I have to admit Jonathan, that was pretty funny." Ymir commented.

"That's… that's not what I was trying to do." Jonathan said as he looked at Ymir, Ymir had a silly smirk on her face but then rolled her eyes when she heard that.

"I thought you were fun…." She said walking away again. "Remember what I said…"

"Ymir, I am living for myself. I want to live… for myself, I want to do what I want to do. And right now, I want to make friends. You're not living for yourself if you constantly hang out with Krista." Jonathan commented.

"Hey.. hey… you're lucky I didn't snap your neck for that." Ymir said coming over. "You're. You're right… live for yourself and do what you want. But… don't kill yourself over these kids… I would only kill…" She realized what she was saying and realized it was a bit hypocritical. "Do what you want." She said walking away.

"I'd kill myself for you." Jonathan commented. "Just because."

"That's a dumb excuse." Ymir stared at her. "Why would you do that?"

"You're like family… you're my comrades… I would help you out there Ymir. Just so you know." Jonathan looked down at her.

Ymir didn't know what to say. So she said this. "Thanks." Ymir said as she didn't show any emotion and then turned around. "Might want to catch up with Armin."

Armin was talking with Eren and frowning. "I sometimes feel like Jonathan… is a bully. He doesn't really care for my feelings." Armin said as he rested on his bed.

"He isn't a bulyl! He's our friend!" Eren said looking at Armin shocked that he would bring something like that. "He's a nice person Armin." Eren hadn't seen the things that Jonathan did to Armin.

"But… sometimes he takes things to far you know. Doesn't he ever take things to far with you?" Armin asked looking at Eren, Eren paused for a moment. No, Jonathan didn't mostly because Armin was much smaller so he could tease him. Also Jonathan was kind of afraid of what Mikasa would do to him if he accidentally hurt Eren, on occasion he would rough up his hair and Mikasa never seemed to mind. But when she did mind she would glare at Jonathan, and like a death stare…

"I'm sure he means no harm…" He said smiling at Armin. "Here he comes now…" Eren pointed at Jonathan as he entered the room.

"Armin! I'm sorry… here's your books…" Jonathan said looking at Armin and giving his books back. "I'm sorry…" Jonathan said as he wanted to ruffle his head but… he thought against it as he looked at Armin. "I didn't know I was hurting you, I always thought that we were having fun together!" Jonathan commented.

"No… I should've said something." Armin said taking his books back and smiling at Jonathan. "I'm sorry."

Jonathan felt happy he pulled Armin in which was unexpected for him, for a hug. Armin blushed out of embarrassment, as Eren chuckled in the background. Armin looked at Eren and then tried to look up at Jonathan. "Sorry, I should've asked." Jonathan said letting go of Armin and then yawned. "We should… be getting to bed."

"Yeah…" Armin stated smiling at Jonathan. "We should…"

(Meanwhile Jonathan and Eren are training with their ODM gear)

"Goodness Jonathan. You are surprisingly fast…" Eren commented smiling as he started to land and sweat a lot. Eren squeezed out his shirt and then watched as the sweat hit the ground.

"Disgusting." Jonathan mumbled as he held his back and then looked over at the trees.

"How… uhm… are you so fast…" Eren commented looking up at the 5'11 dark haired man. Jonathan put his hands through his hair and then looked at Eren.

"I… I just use my stomach… speaking of stomach." Jonathan lifted up his shirt showing his rather ripped stomach. "I don't know how I got them, I guess all of this moving and using your abdominals muscles. Mikasa has them to."

"How do you know that?" Eren asked looking at Jonathan raising his eyebrow.

"Uhm… don't ask." Jonathan commented as he looked at the ground holding his stomach. Eren looked at hi suspiciously and Jonathan just smiled. "I workout with her in the morning."

"How can you keep up with her…" Eren asked looking at Jonathan.

Jonathan just sighed and looked down. "I ask myself that everyday… but, I think if I can be just like Mikasa and that powerful I can save so many more people… think about it two Mikasa's running around!"

"I don't want to think about it…" Eren put that image into his head, it was a image that he didn't like. "You believe what Armin says, about the ocean?"

"Yes." Jonathan said. "I want to see it… now." Jonathan said, "You know I'm a sucker for beautiful views, I look over the mountains for like 30 minutes a day. It's a great way to spend your time, just breathe and take it all in."

"You want to go there?" Eren asked as he looked at Jonathan.

"Yeah…" Jonathan said taking of his ODM gear. "Let's… get changed."

Eren and Jonathan got into some regular clothing, and then they exited and started walking. "You know Mikasa cares for you right Eren?" Jonathan asked looking at him.

"Of course. But sometimes, she over does it!" Eren stated, but Jonathan couldn't really say anything to that. Mikasa sometimes did over do it but Mikasa cared for Armin and Jonathan in almost the same way, mostly Jonathan because Armin knew how to take care of himself. Jonathan on the other hand always had his eyes closed like he was going into a deep sleep. Sometimes Mikasa would snap in front of Jonathan just to make sure that he wasn't sleeping.

"I can't really say anything to that, I wish I had a sister that would take care of me like that. Well… adopted sister." Jonathan commented. "Sorry if you take offense to that."

"None taken." Eren stated as they continued to walk up the mountain looking around and enjoying the view as they smiled at the sights. "It's nice to relax… sometimes you know Shadis shouting at us all the time. You sometimes need… to relax…"

"I agree." Jonathan said. "Cherish your off time and then go hard when you have to. That's why I walk out here, Mikasa doesn't though she is always doing something."

"Well you already hang out with her enough when you're working out right." Eren asked looking at Jonathan.

"Yeah… you are right…" Jonathan said as he closed his eyes but kept walking.

"You need to stop that eye closing thing though it's kind of weird." Eren stated as he looked at Jonathan as his eyes were closed and he kept on walking.

Finally they made it to the top of the hill and then looked over Jonathan just smiled as he leaned up against a tree and then closed his eyes. "I'm going… to be up here for a while… you can go if you want to." Jonathan said with his eyes still closed, he was extremely tired and wanted to just go to sleep…

"No… I'll stay with you." Eren said as he just sat at another tree, soon he decided to say something. "Jonathan. I just wanted to say thank you, for everything. I appreciate you as a really good friend. Thank you for helping Armin, Mikasa, and me…" Eren stated as he looked at Jonathan, he was asleep. Like dead asleep, he must've been extremely tired especially considering that Jonathan was a rather hard worker he deserved it. Eren wanted to go but at the same time he wanted to make sure that Jonathan was okay.

Jonathan soon awoke and then looked over at Eren who was still there. "Oh!" Jonathan was slightly scared, because of the fact that he didn't expect him to still be here. "You're still here.." He said yawning and then stretching out his arms.

"I wanted to make sure that you are okay." Eren said as he got up, Jonathan got up to and then yawned into the air as he shook his head. "You can walk right…"

"Just… tired…" Jonathan said as he started walking down the hill and then looked at Eren. "Thanks for staying." Jonathan said.

"No problem." Eren said punching the arm of Jonathan, Jonathan took an exaggerated stumble and then smiled as he started to punch him back. A little to hard. "Ow!" Eren said holding his arm.

"Oh crap! I'm sorry!" jonathans said looking at his arm.

"Don't worry… I'll live." Eren said smirking back at him.

Year 850

A soldier inside the HQ was reloading his gun, everyone else thought the man had a plan and were counting on him to get him ready. When the rifle reloded a woman looked at him and smiled. "You have something?" She asked with a quivering voice as she looked at the man.

"You… could say that…" The man then pointed the gun at himself, and then put the gun into his mouth and then pulled the trigger. A huge sound was heard throughout the HQ and they all shouted and started crying as they looked at the brains on the wall.

Jonathan outside landed right next to Ymir and Krista and looked at the both of them. "You guys okay?" Jonathan asked as Ymir looked extremely shocked at his entrance and Krista looked thankful that Jonathan was there.

"Yes! Jonathan are you okay?" Krista asked looking over his body as she saw some blood on his shirt. "Jonathan you're bleeding!"

"Don't worry it's not my blood. I'm upset though, this blood won't come out of this damn shirt. Well, it's going to be hard…" Jonathan said as he looked at his own shirt and then looked at the titans around the HQ.

"What the fuck is that?" Ymir asked as she looked over at the abnormal as he attacked the titans around the HQ.

"I don't know but whatever it is… is helping us! Now… our plan is to get into the HQ because the titan should be distracted by that titan." Jonathan said as he looked at Krista and Ymir. "I'll be with you guys. Jean is with the other people."

"So we have to charge at the titans?" Krista asked looking at Jonathan rather afraid. Jonathan just looked down at her, he didn't talk with Krista much but man was she beautiful and honestly very sweet.

"Jonathan, you look after Krista if she gets hurt at all. It's not the titans that are going to kill you." Ymir said looking at him with dead eyes as she grabbed Jonathan by the collar.

"No! We go together!" Jonathan shouted as he looked at Ymir but he didn't want to push her back or he would be killed.

"Okay. Same rules applies though." Ymir said as she looked at Jean as he started to attack. "Let's go!"

"Come on Jonathan! I'm following you!" Krista said getting behind him and following him as they all jumped into the window like something out of an action movie. Jonathan landed on his back as some glass went into his hand and he shouted, Krista looked at him and then saw his cut. "Oh my goodness are you okay Jonathan?"

"I'll be fine…" Jonathan shouted as he removed the glass from his hand.

Turns out, Jean had knocked out a cadet because of the fact that they just stood there and did nothing. Jonathan gagged because he saw the brains of a cadet that was on the wall and Jonathan heard the plan that Armin suggested. It was something risky but, a risk Jonathan was willing to take.

They were suppose to lower down and then shoot the titans in the face, distracting them and then multiple cadets would cut the nape of the titan. Jonathan was one of the attackers, he pulled out his blades as he got onto the platform that would lower them. He looked over at Armin as he looked slightly nervous. "Be calm Armin, if you aren't calm that will get us all killed…" Jonathan said looking at Armin.

Armin sighed deeply and then nodded his head at Jonathan. The platform lowered, and then some of the titans weren't looking at them. Jonathan had to admit he was deathly afraid of what could happen, he looked at the titans as they turned their heads. Their deathly smiles and weird facial expressions, "Hold it…" Armin said as he looked at all of the titans as they started to surround them and everyone was extremely nervous, who wouldn't be. Face to face with humanities deadliest killer…

"Fire!" Armin shouted as he fired the gun into the face of the titan, multiple cries were heard throughout the HQ mostly because of the titans. They would only have a few seconds, Jonathan jumped up and then attached to the nape, he then sliced through the nape feeling the blood hit his face.

it was hot and stingy, but in the corner of his eyes he saw Sasha miss her attack and she was thrown against a pole as she held her head. The titan turned around and Jonathan saw the fear in Sasha's eyes, not Sasha. They weren't going to take Sasha away from him, Mina, Thomas he already failed. But now, was the time to defend his comrade. He jumped up and then attacked that titan slicing through the nape deeply as he felt a sudden surge of energy. The titan fell right in front of Sasha and then Sasha sighed with relief as she looked at the person who saved her.

"Jonathan!" Sasha ran over and then hugged him, Jonathan dropped his blades because of the unexpected hug.

"Next time you won't be so lucky!" Ymir shouted looking at Sasha, but Sasha didn't care she was alive now. She pulled away and looked up at Jonathan.

"Thanks! I owe you one!" Sasha said breathing hard still shocked because of the whole ordeal.

"Sasha, I won't be there next time…" Jonathan said breathing hard. "Now… refill.." Jonathan said looking at Sasha.

"Jonathan you did good." He heard a voice and then turned around, Mikasa was standing right there and Jonathan sighed as he looked at Mikasa.

"Thanks… Mikasa." Jonathan said. "Now… refill…" Jonathan said as he then stumbled back and then rested himself against the pole, his adrenaline was gone. He didn't know why… he felt a feeling… to protect… and help Sasha. Now he was exhausted.

"You're a good man… Jonathan." Ymir mumbled looking at Jonathan as she refilled. But then Ymir walked over and then elbowed Jonathan in the shoulder.

"Huh?" Jonathan looked at him.

"Hey… refill…" She said jokingly as she handed him a canister and some blades.

After everyone filled up, Sasha looked distraught. Who wouldn't, you were face to face with death and you couldn't even save yourself. What as going to happen next time, Jonathan wanted Sasha to live he wanted everyone to live. He was surprised that he had it in him to protect Sasha, but he was willing to help everyone…

When they were outside they looked at the abnormal titan who as fighting other titans, eliminating them… He was dying… his ribs were showing and his arm was removed. Jonathan watched as the titan roared into the air, and then fell to the ground.

"Good thing that he ran out of energy… or we would've been next…" Jean commented.

"Don't say that." Jonathan said as he wiped his brow. Jonathan then saw some steam come out of the titan and then saw someone pop out… "Oh… Mikasa!" Jonathan shouted, but she was right there and then looked down and saw the person…

"Eren!" She shouted.
