Flashback

"He always sleeps in, it's like he doesn't want to hang out with us on his day off…" Eren stated as he looked at the sleeping body of Jonathan as his hand was dangling off the bed. Jonathan was mumbling something in his sleep but they paid no mind to what he was mumbling.

"Hey, let him do what he wants to do." Armin said as he then put his jacket on, "It is… his day off…" Armin stated as he looked at Eren. "Come on lets go."

"I'll ask him. He doesn't want to miss this…" Eren shook the body of Jonathan and Jonathan fell off of the bed and held his back. "Oops…"

"Ow! What the hell!" Jonathan shouted as he held the back of his head and looked at Armin and Eren. "Oh… It's you two. How are you guys doing?" Jonathan asked putting his hand onto his cheek.

"You want to go out on the town?" Eren questioned as he looked at the much taller male.

"Huh. Why would I want to go there?" Jonathan questioned as he yawned. "I would much rather prefer to stay in bed." Jonathan asked as he yawned once again which caused Eren and Armin to yawn. "You guys have some fun! I'll be fine here."

"Oh… oh well…" Eren said as he then exited. "Come on Armin let's go." Eren shouted.

Armin made sure that Eren was out of there and then looked at Jonathan as he started to get back up and then put his sheets back onto his bed. "Awww," Armin had a grin on his face, "Mikasa was looking forward to hanging out with us today." Armin said as he turned his head. "I guess shell have to wait another day to hang out with you." He turned his head around again. "All day."

"On second thought!" Jonathan nervously chuckled at this and then got dressed quickly, Armin had a small smile on his face as he then exited. "I'm coming Armin! Wait!" Jonathan shouted out loud as he put on some jeans, a brown shirt and his jacket and then rushed outside. Eren turned around and looked at Armin.

"How did you… convince him?" He questioned as he looked at him.

"Hey, Jonathan." Mikasa called out rather silently as she hugged the bigger man. Jonathan just blushed deeply as that happened and looked at Eren and Armin.

"I'm joining you guys today Eren!" Jonathan said as he felt Mikasa let go of her hug.

"Great!" Eren said, he looked right at Armin though. "Seriously though, how did you convince him?"

"I'll tell you… in the future…" Armin said as he looked back at Mikasa and Jonathan who were happily talking together.

"The person who was in the female titan used steam to hide and then used one of the ODM gear's to escape the area." Erwin proposed as he rode through the forest looking back and seeing the titans finishing off the female titan from a far distance.

Hange looked at Erwin as he proposed that idea, that didn't make much sense in her opinion. "No, Eren's gear was destroyed who's gear could she possibly get. Remember the titans will still eat the shifter, so it would be impossible for her to get someone else's gear." Hange stated as she looked back at the blonde.

Erwin huffed. "Stay alert… the titan can still transform." Erwin said as he continued to ride on horseback.

"You think that the shifter was captured yet?" Jean asked as he whizzed through the forest with his multiple friends.

Jonathan looked over at him. "Possibly, that roar. It was disturbing to say the least, maybe it was a final cry out…" Jonathan stated as he continued to fly through the forest, Jonathan looked over at Armin. He looked like he had something on his mind. Mostly because he was about to run into a branch. "Armin." Jonathan stated, Armin realized the branch and moved out of the way. "What's the matter you seem more distracted than usual."

"The person, who can shift into a titan… they saw the transformation at Trost. They had to.." Armin said as he used the gear to grapple onto another branch and swing himself across the forest.

"Yeah, no duh." Jonathan muttered the last part, he didn't want to be that fresh. Jonathan noticed something though, it was quiet. Real… quiet… and he didn't like that.. he looked around only hearing the ODM gear go off around him was unsettling. It was a empty void almost, like something was missing or something was about to happen

Eren couldn't believe what he just saw, a damn corpse hanging from the tree. How the hell did Gunther die? All the Levi squad knew, was that if they stuck around for much longer they would also be dead. They booked it using the gear. His thoughts were cut off. "It's to late to get to the horses, the attacker is around somewhere!" Eld shouted out loud as he continued to fly through the trees.

Suddenly, lightning struck behind them and Eren saw as the female titan came out of nowhere. Eren saw the titan take form and that's when he brought his hand up to his face and opened his mouth. "Eren!" He heard a voice, and turned his head. "Get out of here! We have it!" Petra shouted as she then charged at the female titan, Eren saw them go to work and work in such unison.

Eren decided to continue to fly ahead, but something told him to look back. Eren did, and when he did that he saw Eld being bitten and Eren's eyes widened. Eld had already taken out the arms of the female titan, Eren assumed he tried to attack the nape and failed.

"Eld!" Petra shouted as she watched her comrade being ripped in half by the female titan. Petra saw the blood trickle down to the forest floor, Eld… he was gone.

The Levi squad? Was going down? The eyes of the female titan were cut out, Petra cut them out earlier so how the hell was she able to rip Eld in half. Eren saw immense steam coming from the eyes though, they were healing and quickly. The female titan quickly sprints towards Petra, "Petra! Regroup dammit!" Olou shouted out loud as he looked at the petrified soldier as Petra just kept on looking at the female titan. By the time she realized what was happening it was to late, the foot of the female titan was over her. By the time she wanted to react, it as way to late… the female titan smashed Petra and Oluo saw the blood go up into the air and some splashed on his clothing. Petra, dead. Oluo shouted out loud and then grabbed his blades and then sliced into the nape of the female titan to no avail. The blades broke.

Oluo shut his eyes close and then knew what was going to happen. Eren witnessed a roundhouse kick from the female titan knocking Oluo deep into the forest. Eren couldn't take anymore, he bit his hand and transformed into his titan and then recoiled back his arm and attempted to strike the female titan. A hit on the face and the female titan stumbled back knowing she couldn't take Eren until her arms healed.

"You heard that… it must be Eren!" Jonathan shouted as he looked at Mikasa, usually she would be the first one to recognize. That roar, but she really… didn't do anything except look at Jonathan.

"Stay close to me." She said as she then charged though the forest, Jonathan paused for a moment. Usually she would shout something like Eren, or maybe her eyes would roll back in her head and she would turn into a titan. That didn't happen. She kept on looking at Jonathan like h was suppose to say something.

"Uhm… yes ma'am!" Jonathan said as he continued to fly through the forest.

The female titan continued to keep her distance using her kicks, her arms were still in pain because of the cutting that Eld did. Eren was pissed off after seeing his comrades die she was backing up so quickly like this! She was a coward. Eren went for a hook and then Annie jumped back, into a tree. Eren saw his chance and roared out as he then attempted to punch her, she moved out of the way again. But this time Eren grabbed her. 'Gotcha….' Eren thought as he then slammed her into the ground. The female's titans arms came back and she tried to defend herself but Eren was way to strong.

Jonathan continued to fly in the air using his ODM gear, they kept on getting closer to the sound which each and every step. And as that happened Jonathan saw the bodies hanging and bitten in half, the forest smelled of… blood… and dirt… Jonathan was looking around and felt like stopping right then and there… Jonathan looked around and saw all the bodies. He had to stop for a second, he jumped onto a branch and sighed as a body was hanging right by him. Why, why was he scared… of this… he fought in Trost…

"Jonathan." He knew who that was. "Move, come on." Mikasa said as she grabbed his shoulder rather roughly. "I'm not going to stand here and leave you behind." Mikasa said as she grabbed his collar, slightly lifting him off the ground. "Now come on, were soldiers."

"O-Okay…" Jonathan said touching her shoulders. "I understand… now… please… put me down…" Jonathan begged as he looked down at her. Mikasa huffed and did as told dropping Jonathan.

"Now come on let's move." She said as she patted him on the back and then used her ODM gear to burst away.

Something about Mikasa, changed. Jonathan didn't know what, but she wasn't the same. Jonathan still decided to follow her though as he flew through the trees.

'I'm going to have fun ripping you limb from limb…' Eren thought as he looked down at the female titan, her arms were still healing as that happened. Eren blames himself for not transforming earlier, to save his comrades. They didn't deserve to die, none of them deserved to die for him… he should've trusted himself and transformed.

Eren could see the steam coming off of her arms, they were healing. During the process of taking her down Eren's arms were harmed to… and he was waiting until they would heal back so that he could completely destroy the female titan. He wanted to make her pay for what she had done, and when he was done ripping her apart… he was going to eat her. He felt his whole titan body seize up as that happened, he felt immense waves of anger throughout his whole body.

He wasn't paying attention though, and then the female titan used her hips to throw him off and Eren lost his balance and then turned around. The female titan swiftly kicked him in the gut.

Mikasa was still flying with Jonathan, as Jonathan heard another roar. He couldn't take it anymore, Jonathan started to speed up extremely quickly using his body to propel through the air. "J-Jonathan!" Armin shouted as he saw Jonathan go far up ahead.

"I'll see you guys when I get there!" He shouted, Armin wasn't surprised that he was in a rush. They all were, he was surprised at how fast Jonathan was going. Despite being 5'11 he as much faster than any of them, even Mikasa looked shocked.

'Maybe… all that training paid off…' Mikasa thought as she saw Jonathan go up ahead, he wasn't using much gas either just using his body to through himself through the air. It made Mikasa, happy… that she could train Jonathan like this.

Flashback

"Jonathan! Don't go to far ahead!" Mikasa called out as Jonathan was jogging ahead of her. Jonathan jogged backwards as that happened. Jonathan flipped his hair out of his eyes and smiled at Mikasa.

"What? You cant keep up with this?" Jonathan questioned as he turned around. But when he turned his head again Mikasa was right next to him. "Oh… maybe you can… keep up…" Jonathan said nervously.

"Don't get to cocky." She said calmly and started to run ahead of him. But Jonathan was able to keep his pace with her. "You have improved on your running though…" She said as she and Jonathan finally stopped. "I'm proud of you."

"I'm sorry… what did you say? I cant hear over my own breathing…" Jonathan questioned as he then sat down next to her on a nearby bench.

"I'm proud of you. Jonathan." She said, and that caused Jonathan to blush more than he had ever blushed before.

"Thanks… Mikasa… that means a lot." Jonathan said as he guzzled down some water. Jonathan felt himself feel all warm inside from that compliment. "You're… more than a friend… to me… Mikasa."

"I feel the same way." Mikasa said as she looked back at her own water as she fiddled with her own water. Jonathan put his arm around Mikasa and hugged her as Mikasa blushed looking over his shoulder as that happened, but hugged him back. Enjoying his embrace.

Present Time

Jonathan was now pretty deep into the forest, using his quickness to get that far away from the other scouts. He felt like he was lost now… he got onto a branch and looked around. Jonathan suddenly sensed something. And heard something, a huge roar coming in his direction! The female titan flew into the branch, causing Jonathan to jump and then look down at the female titan. Jonathan turned his head and saw Eren standing right there.

"Eren…" He noticed his mouth was practically gone. His tongue was hanging out, he couldn't believe it… Eren was so damn broken and beaten. His body looked destroyed, Jonathan jumped onto the shoulder of Eren and he noticed him. "Eren, you have to stop, you're going to destroy your body." He stated as he then touched his titan cheek. "Oh goodness! Hot…" Jonathan shook his hand as he looked at the female titan who was on the ground. "We figure out who is inside? Stand back, I'll handle this." Jonathan said as he pulled out his swords and then looked at the female titan.

'Don't be so foolish Jonathan, you'll get murdered… I don't know how you got here so damn quickly…' Eren thought as he looked at him. 'Leave. Now.'

"I cant tell what your thinking or saying, but I'm not leaving." Jonathan said as the female titan then stated to get up, Jonathan looked down at her and then the female titan suddenly sat up and then kicked Eren in the leg causing Jonathan to fall on the ground. The female titan then kicked Eren in the head causing his titan to smash into a tree and lean against it. Jonathan looked at the female titan and then attached onto her. The female titan felt Jonathan hooked on and attempted to punch him, Jonathan swiftly moved up and then started to cut all the way up and down her arm.

The female titan felt her whole arm go numb as that happened and it fell to her side. The female titan was surprised at how fast Jonathan as, as if she knew him very well… Jonathan landed on the shoulder of the female titan. "Come on, you're not doing so well…" Jonathan said as he then jumped into the air and attached onto her nape, the female titan was surprised at how fast the man was. The female titan quickly protected her nape and then looked back at the man, he was gone… Jonathan was on the tip of her elbow. "To slow." Jonathan said as he attempted to slice her hand, her hardened ability started to work and Jonathan looked at his broken blades. "Shit…" He said as he looked at his broken blades. But suddenly the female titan grabbed him using her one hand and Jonathan felt the squeeze and shouted out loud, the female titan brought him to her face. "You're someone… I know…" Jonathan mumbled out of his mouth. The female titan then looked around, if she was going to eat him. She would've eaten him already. She looked right at a tower, and then grabbed the gear of Jonathan and then broke it. Jonathan didn't see the tower though and was surprised when the female titan dropped him. Causing Jonathan to have the wind knocked out of him. "Ah!" He shouted as he wheezed and looked at the titan.

The female titan just looked at him and then turned around, Eren was still against the tree. The female titan then kicked the head off of Eren and Jonathan saw all of the blood on the titan, he got up and looked at the titan as he stumbled over feeling all of his bones failing. All of his muscles, not working he must've been to damn fast.

Mikasa saw Jonathan right there and helped him up. "Jonathan…" She said as she looked at him, Jonathan pointed towards the female titan and all Mikasa could see was Eren… her childhood friend. Get eaten.

"Eren!" They both shouted in unison.
