Hello People! Sorry for making you guys wait but here's another update! The next chapter is going to be the last one of the series, so sad. But I'm trying to finish and write a Fairy Tail multi-chapter story, and more classified information. Please follow, fave, and/or review when you are done reading! Thank you!
I do not own Attack on Titan, it belongs to Hajime Isayama.
In the middle of the night, a person could be seen writing a letter with only a candle as their source of light. They stopped as they looked out the window to see a full moon shining brightly down on Stohess District, before going back to writing their letter.
Jean muttered something under his breath as he sat in the carriage, disguised as Eren. He didn't even look like that suicidal maniac for crying out loud, but it was a part of the Commander's plan to try and see if Marco was the Male Titan.
Flashback
Jean, Armin, and Mikasa were summoned by Erwin to discuss the plan of capturing the Female and Male Titan. "The plan is for when the Military Police escort us, Eren will escape the carriage he's riding in, and Jean will take his place. Our goal is to draw out the Male and Female Titan, and avoid transformation if possible." Erwin explained.
"If we can use Eren as bait to capture the two, then we won't need to be summoned. The Royal Capital will focus on them instead." Erwin finished saying.
"Nice." Eren said to Armin, looking at him and Mikasa who remained quiet, confusing Eren. "Now about the Female and Male Titan, Armin's the one who inferred it. He was the one who came up with this plan in the first place." Erwin told Eren.
"According to Jeans and Armin's hypothesis, which the two came up with when they contacted the Male Titan, there's a possibility that the Male Titan is from the 104th Trainee Squad." Erwin said. Eren glanced at Armin, who just looked away. "We think he caused the death of the two titans we caught along with someone else who we believe is the Female Titan."
"Their names are Marco Bodt and Annie Leonhart." Erwin announced, silence soon filling the room.
"Marco….is dead, Jean said he saw his body." Eren said, horrified.
"Wish it were true Eren, but he looks exactly like him. And when he was going to kill me, Armin called out my name and the Male Titan stopped swinging his fist." Jean exclaimed.
"But what about Annie, what made you think that she's the Female Titan?" Eren asked.
"We already suspected that she killed the two titans. Advanced skills were necessary in needing them, so she used her own ODM Gear." Armin started to say. "Then during inspection, she presented Marco's gear and got away without suspicion."
"But...why is Marco helping her?" Eren asked, still not believing what he was hearing.
"I don't know. I have no idea why he's working with her." Armin replied back.
"Hey kid, you said this was someone who you thought was the Male Titan, do you have any more proof?" Levi asked.
"He looks like Marco, down to the freckles on his face." Jean told Levi.
"And the Female Titan looks like Annie." Mikasa added.
"WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SAYING?!" Eren yelled, feeling angry at his friends for suggesting his friends were traitors.
"So in other words, they have no other proof, but they are going with the plan anyway." Levi asked.
"No proof, are you kidding me…" Eren said in disbelief. "Then why are you doing it? What if Annie turns out to be innocent?"
"Then she gets off clean." Mikasa simply replied back.
"If that happens, I'll feel sorry for Annie. But still, if we do nothing, then Eren will just become a sacrifice for people in the center." Armin declared.
"How could you suspect Annie, and Marco, you guys are crazy…" Eren exclaimed.
"Eren, you fought with Annie in hand to hand combat, didn't the Female Titan's fighting style seem familiar?" Mikasa asked. "Plus, we haven't seen Samuel around that often. The last time we saw him was when Sasha saved his life. Marco and him do look similar in appearance." Jean told Eren.
Flashback ended
Jean then decided that he was sick of waiting around doing nothing, he got out of the carriage, only to be stopped by an Mp. "Who told you to move Jaeger!" The Mp asked.
"How about this wig, you moron!" Jean said, clearly ticked off as he pulled off the wig. The soldier looked at him in shock as he ran over to Erwin. "Call me Jaeger again, and you're dead!"
"Commander, what is the plan?" Jean asked.
"Ask Squad Four for equipment." Erwin answered.
Jean nodded, saluting. "Sir!"
"Like the guts, but try not to swing them too hard where they'll get you killed." Levi told Jean.
Jean nodded his head in agreement as he ran off to go and join the others. As he was about to reach Squad four, he bumped into someone. "Hey, watch where you're-" Jean started to say, until he saw the person was wearing a black hood as they walked into a alleyway.
"What the…." Jean said, feeling like he should know the person. "Kirstein! Come on!" Jean heard a voice say. "Right, on my way!" Jean ran off again.
"She's climbing up the wall!" Jean said, shocked as the rest watched as Annie was going up higher and higher by the second.
"At this rate, she'll already be over the wall. She'll get away!" Armin exclaimed.
"Not if I have anything to do about it!" Mikasa said, running towards the wall.
Armin felt a shadow cast over him as he turned to see Eren in his titan form, he was still missing his right arm and leg, but he was regenerating them. "Eren…." Armin started to say, until an idea came into his mind.
"Mikasa wait!" Armin cried out, causing the girl to look at him.
"Stop! Don't go after her!" Hanji commanded, her and the Scouts watching as Annie was almost to the top of the wall. 'We got horses prepared on the other side of the wall, but we'll be at a disadvantage on the flatland. What should I do?' Hanji thought.
Someone fly up past Hanji, who let out a confused sound, only to realize that it was Mikasa. Mikasa fired a hook onto the wall as she sliced off the fingers of Annie's right hand, which fell to the side.
"She reached her…" Armin said, standing in the palm of Eren's hand, the titan was most likely the person who threw Mikasa up.
Mikasa went to slice off Annie's left fingers, when someone already beaten her to it. "Wait, who are they!" Hanji asked. "That person…" Jean's eyes widened in realization. "I've seen them before!"
Mikasa watched in shock as the person stood on the bridge of Annie's nose, standing there for a few seconds before Annie fell. Annie let out what sounded like a cry, of sadness, and betrayal.
Mikasa turned to look at the person, her swords drawn out. The hooded person turned to look at her, though she couldn't see their face. "Who are you, an enemy, an ally?" Mikasa asked.
"Neither." They said, drawing out a smoke gun and firing it at her.
Mikasa's eyes widened as she went to move, only for the flare to hit the wall right next to her, smoke getting in Mikasa's eyes as she closed her eyes and started coughing.
When Mikasa opened her eyes, the smoke had cleared and the mysterious person was gone. Around that time, pieces of the wall started to fall off. "No good, the wall is falling apart." Mikasa said, turning to come face to face with a titan, inside the walls.
"Use your wires to make a netting to tie up the crystal, and hurry! We don't know when she might wake so we gotta make it fast." Hanji ordered the Scouts. "Understood…" Keji said.
Hanji watched as three people started to make a net around the crystal. "Squad leader!" A voice yelled, Hanji turning to see another member running towards her. "Yes?" She replied back.
"We asked people around for anyone that fit the description of Bodt, a lady who worked at a inn said that he was staying there for a couple of days…" The guy didn't even finish his sentence when Hanji grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.
"And?!" She asked.
"...we went to check out the room that she said he was staying in, but there was no one there, the room was empty." The member explained.
Hanji let out groan. "So we found nothing." She said. "Yeah." Jean looked away, after hearing what the member said. 'Where are you Marco? And what is it your planning?' Jean thought, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted when someone spoke up.
"Is that a titan?" A scout asked, pointing at the wall which had a hole in it, revealing the face of a titan. The search for Marco Bodt would be put on a hold for a couple of days, because during those days is when things, became revealed.
