Thanks to everyone reviewing, following, and favoriting! You guys are the reason I do this!

P.S. With my timeline laid out, expect Natsu's Experiment done by New Year's 2015.

Remember, I don't own AoT or FT. Wish I did though. :(

Annie's POV

Annie was off the second Levi commanded, "Go!" She soared through the city, heading to the outskirts, encountering few titans. The few giants Annie did see, she demolished, but the area out here was deserted.

Annie looked over to the block near the fancy church. Titan after titan was embarking there. It was so crowded with titans, Annie could barely see the top spire of the grey building. None of the wizards were noticing, they must be so concerned for their friend. That was the problem with friends. In her world, they died so easy.

Annie did feel a slight bit of pity for them, however small. It was Eren's fault their lives were being sacrificed. If he could just transform, most of them would live and the titans could be killed easier. Eren was a titan magnet, and that was plan A's idea. The titans would flock to Eren, the Survey Corps would be able to see their numbers, and with all the titans in one place it would be an easy kill. Plan B was basically the same idea, only the mages would attract most of the titans, and most of the Survey Corps would be able to cover the numbers outside of Magnolia. A few would kill the titans surrounding the wizards, but not enough could be spared to save everyone's lives. It was sad, but the fire wizard's death would be the rest of this country's saving grace.

But maybe, Annie could transform, and act in Eren's place, but that would jeopardize her own life and reveal her position. It wasn't worth the mages' lives. The world was an unfair place, and for once, Annie wasn't going to end up at the bottom. Annie left the city.

Eren's POV

Eren was walking through Magnolia, heading for the northeast quadrant as Levi had directed, when a pale hand grabbed his arm. Lisanna pulled him into an alleyway. Eren growled. He was pissed already, and now here was Miss You-can-do-it-sunshine-and-rainbows.

"Hey, Eren," she whispered excitedly, "I have a new idea. It just might work."

Jean's POV

Jean squinted. Still nuthin. He had been searching the south direct north quadrant for titans for 20 minutes. There was nuthin. Were all the titans in Magnolia? Or were their more people somewhere else?

"Yo, Jean," Connie called, coming next to him. "I've been searching the north direct north quadrant for 20 minutes. I've gotten no titans. You?"

Jean shook his head. Krista and Ymir maneuvered over as well. Ymir began, "We've covered the entire fucking northwest quadrant, and we've encountered zip, nada, zero titans. Have you found any?"

Connie and Jean shook their heads in unison.

"Go figure," Ymir whined.

"But that's what I don't get! They have to be somewhere!" Krista objected.

"Well, there's always east, south, and west," Jean offered.

"Yeah, but the most should be in the north if they're still coming. This is where they were coming earlier," Ymir stated.

Connie gasped. "We're supposed to know that?"

Ymir smacked Connie on the head. Jean heard something, but it was faint. He lifted a hand for silence. "Over there!" Jean pointed. "Do you see it? To the west?"

"That's where the citizens are evacuating!" Krista swallowed.

"So, the titans are either surrounding wizards, or they're surrounding weak wizards and citizens. Great." Ymir complained.

Jean decided to take charge. "Krista, find Levi. I'm sure he already knows, but make sure he comes and helps. We need reinforcements. Ymir, Connie, let's go."

Gray's POV

Gray couldn't except Natsu was dead. That guy was so stubborn, he wouldn't have even allowed himself to be picked up without going all Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon on it. It was annoying, but it made Natsu's and his battles so much more interesting.

Yet, here Gray was, surrounded by Natsu's blood. And titans. Gray was also surrounded by titans. They were still advancing, but Gray knew it was only moments before his friends were eaten too. No, Gray was wrong. This was messing up his head. There was one above him. There was one above everybody.

Was this how Natsu felt when he went down? The titans were reaching down, they were grabbing, he heard screams, there were more coming.

Gray started to blackout, but he saw red flowing up. So even Erza was facing her demise. It was over. It was all over.

Damn you, Natsu Dragneel.

Levy's POV

Levy ran around, her blue hair crazier than usual. She screamed at citizens, telling them to run as west as possible. Leave all belongings. Carry small children and elderly who couldn't move fast if you could. Don't stand here scared. Go. Protect yourself.

Why? Because of the titans. Levy was told it would be a no hassle job. Simply get the citizens out while the others took care of the titans. Warren was in constant contact with Makorav and their commander in order to keep everyone safe. But no one had anticipated the titans showing up off course. And now, Levy's own life was in danger. She knew Natsu was eaten, and her friends could be eaten any moment now.

Tears rolled down her face. Why had the Survey Corps used her friends as bait? Now the plan wasn't working and they would all die.

"Max!" Levy screamed. "What's the position on the titans?" With no reply, she walked around the side of the rocks. "Max? Max?"

Levy gasped. Max was struggling in one of the titan's hands. It was meters taller than her and held him tightly. Levi could feel the pressure with which Max was being crushed with.

"LEVY! RUN!" Max yelled. The titan reached Max to his mouth. Help began to form on Levy's lips.
