Sorry for not publishing sooner. Hoping to finish soon. But exams were awful. Enjoy.

P.S. I got an awesome idea from La Maitresse' Dame. Planning to state POV at the beginning. What do you guys think?

Eren's POV

Back at the guild, Eren was confused. Why wasn't he turning into a titan? He was following the steps correctly.

Step 1: Have a clear objective in mind.

Eren had a clear objective in mind: Turn into a titan to protect Magnolia, his friends, and the wizards who would get him home.

Hange was even adding to that by threatening to read more Eren x Mikasa fanfiction written by Mirajane if he didn't transform.

So, correction: Turn into a titan to protect Magnolia, his friends, and the wizards who would get him home and to keep people from reading any more of that goddamn shit.

Step 2: Cause self-bodily harm.

Eren was biting down on his hand. He was biting down hard. And it fucking hurt. It fucking hurt a lot.

So why wasn't it working? Did it have to do with the lack of blood? Where was this lack of blood when his mother fucking died? Eren seemed to remember a lot of red, sticky blood then. Why wasn't there any now, when it really counted?

Armin burst in, startling Eren from his thoughts. His friend was panting, as physical activities were never Armin's strong suit. "I told Levi," he wheezed.

"And?" Hange prompted, standing up.

Armin collapsed on a bench. "And, if Eren doesn't transform, we have to switch to plan B."

Eren swallowed.

Hange's eyes lit up. "That's the plan where I get to experiment on the titans here!"

"No," Armin shook his head. "That's aftermath B. I'm talking about plan B."

Hange gasped and stepped back. "Not plan B!"

Armin nodded slowly.

Eren was too shocked to speak. Plan B was last case scenario, desperate. Why not plan C? Or plan D? Those could work, and would save lives. Eren felt a little weak, but that was Levi's choice, and it would definitely work.

Another person ran in. "Hello! I'm here to help with the transforming!" The person was a girl who looked a lot like Mirajane. She had short white hair and startling blue eyes. "I overheard about how you were having trouble, Eren. I'm Lisanna."

Lisanna stuck out her hand. Eren shook it, nervously.

"I doubt you can really help," Hange shrugged.

Lisanna laughed. "I use take-over magic. I can transform into different animals."

Hange's face glowed. "No way! This place is so cool!" Eren rolled his eyes.

Their conversation was interrupted with a stunning "NATSU!"

Natsu's POV

Natsu was frozen. He couldn't move. He couldn't speak. Natsu couldn't even feel Happy tugging on his scarf. Natsu couldn't even feel his scarf. Natsu was petrified at the sight of the titan.

The titan took a single step. It started to bend down. It's fleshy, not proportional hand scooped the dragon slayer and grasped him firmly. Natsu knew he was being picked up as the horizon grew farther and Natsu could see clashes with titans happening all over Magnolia.

Natsu could see its teeth, sharp and multiple and covered in old flesh and dried blood. If Natsu stuck out his arm he could touch the despicable things.

Natsu's head went into the titan's dirty mouth, followed by his torso, and finally his legs, but he heard a snap, and felt something oozing down his thigh.

Damn it.

Happy's POV

It all happened in slow motion.

Happy watched in terror, unable to move, as his friend was picked up and stuffed into the monster's mouth. The blue cat's mouth hung unhinged as Natsu's legs snapped off, falling to the ground in an explosion of blood.

The titan tipped his head back, and swallowed. Happy screamed.

"NATSU!"

Lucy's POV

Lucy whipped her head around, temporarily ignoring her spirits and the titans they were battling.

Everyone in Magnolia would have heard it. And it was definitely Happy, no doubt about it. Lucy put her whip back on her belt and wiped the flow of tears already pouring. Lucy started to sprint as she screamed, "NATSU!"

Lucy was crying so hard, she couldn't see where she was going. But it didn't matter because everyone else was headed that way too. Lucy came upon a corner to the south of the Kardia Cathedral. Happy was rolled up in a ball in the corner, and when Lucy looked to the other side of the street, familiar black cloth and a pair of sandals lay crooked. No, not just cloth and sandals, but legs, legs attached to those cloth and sandals.

Natsu's lower legs were laying in front of Lucy.

She broke down screaming, surrounded by blood. Lucy was surrounded by gallons of blood. She never knew there was this much blood in the universe. And it wasn't just any blood. Lucy's fingers graced a red droplet on the concrete. This was a dragon slayer's blood. This was Natsu Dragneel's blood.

There was no sign of the titan, and with all of the flesh-eating giant beasts still alive, the odds of finding it were hopeless. Erza stood over in the center of the road, slicing down a building, both eyes swelling up. The other members of the guild were stranded around, having given up when their friend died.

"NATSU!" Lisanna cried, running into the corner. When she saw everyone, she broke down, and sobbed. Eren, Armin and Hange chased after her, stopping short. "Let's go, Eren," Hange stated, and they turned around. But Lucy could care less.

Natsu was gone.

Levi's POV

Levi stood next to Erwin, surrounded by his squad. He was just about to explain the plan when Hange, Armin, and Eren ran up.

"Levi!" Hange shouted. "Whachya doing?"

Levi sighed. "Its time to put plan B into action."

"No, Captain Levi," Armin interrupted, "we can't take advantage of their position. It's their first casualty to the titans."

"We've all lost someone," Levi growled. "That's why we're here. That's why we're fighting."

"But, Levi, we can't take advantage of it. We need to spread them out." Hange objected.

Damn it, Levi thought. Why don't they understand? "What's worse, 20 lives, or thousands if those things are set loose?"

Erwin entered the conversation. "I don't like it either, but we ae the military and we need to function for the good of the people."

Levi addressed the military police. "There you have it. Spread out, and coral everyone left in Magnolia to the spot where Dragneel was eaten. Go!"
