Oh, man. Looking back, I did not think it would take this long. Should finish up battle in this or next chapter. Love you guys.

Fairy Tail wizards lay motionless, paralyzed in a square, surrounded by titans.

The evacuating citizens were being chased and Max was almost about to be eaten.

The Survey Corps's plan was being messed up.

Reinforcements were in the wrong places. Lives were in jeopardy. Natsu Dragneel was dead.

They needed a hope.

Eren's POV

"You ready, Eren?" Lisanna asked, still in Tigress form.

Eren nodded. Lives were in danger. It was up to him to save them. And by god, he would try.

"Okay. Let's try it." Lisanna gave the go-ahead.

Step 1: Have a clear objective in mind. Turn into a titan to save this country, his friends, and the wizards.

Step 2: Cause self-bodily harm. Eren tore down on his hand. Ow.

Step 3: Say the spell. "Take-over! Titan-form!"

Eren felt the titan magic inside him swell up.

Levy's POV

Levy's help never left her lips. For some reason, the titan put down Max, and started walking away from them. Levy was confused. All the titans that were terrorizing them over here were no longer chasing the citizens. In fact, they were ignoring the citizens all together. What could possibly be such a deterrent that titans who ate purely on instinct could be leaving them alone?

Max fell to the ground with a thump. "Max!" Levy cried, running over to her friend. Max coughed. "Are you all right?"

"I should be fine soon. Just, why would the titan drop me like that? It got me all worked up over my death, and then, boom, it's like I'm not important anymore," Max whined.

Levy giggled. "You really shouldn't be complaining." She looked over the ridged to Magnolia, where all the titans were headed. What could possibly be so attracting over there? Wait, she saw something. It was a titan, but it didn't look like a titan.

Jean's POV

Jean, Connie, and Ymir were sprinting over to help fight the titans chasing citizens when they ran into who Jean believed was Levy and Matt? No, Max.

"They're gone," she said. "One was about to eat Max, and they were threatening the citizens, but then they all just stopped and headed towards Magnolia."

Ymir threw her hands in the air. "Great. They're all just running away from us now. Do we really smell that bad?"

"But thank you for coming to save us," Levy added.

Connie blushed, and Jean started laughing. He didn't know why. They were on complete different planets when it came to personalities.

"But I think you should go fight them in Magnolia. I think they are all going over to some strange titan I haven't seen before," Levy continued.

Jean looked over to Magnolia, where he faintly saw titan Eren.

"Ah, so the bastard finally got it to work. Hopefully he won't go nuts and try to kill all of us." Jean stated. "Connie, Ymir, let's go."

As they began to take off, Levy waved out and screamed, "Thank you!"

Jean smiled back, but it left his face after a moment. If only she knew they were the reason her friends were dying a couple of miles away.

Levi's POV

If only that good for nothing scumbag had the decency to figure this out earlier! Levi was propelling himself back to Magnolia as fast as the gas could shoot out. Levi had taken the north direct south, south direct south, north southeast, south southeast, north southwest, and south southwest quadrants (it was confusing, but the quadrants worked). He had found nothing! And nobody else had either! It turned out all the titans had to mess up his plan and go after the citizens. If Eren had just transformed earlier, it would have saved a whole lot of time and problems and Levi wasn't even aware have the numbers on casualties yet.

Wizard lives could have been saved if he had known no titans would be surrounding Magnolia. Half of the squad could have gone to save the citizens and the other half could protect the wizards. And if he wasn't mistaken, Erza was probably dead by now.

Erza dead because of titans. Damn. Why wasn't life ever fair? But he would just have to get over it. Like everybody. Just another speck of him was chipped away by titans.

Erza's POV

Erza had given up. She had defeated thousands of monsters and dark guilds, but couldn't even get over the death of her friend. No, the death of her younger brother. Erza could feel the hands pull her up. She could feel the hot, steaming breath of the titan. It was almost like sitting next to Natsu when he was excited.

"Oy, Erza. What are you doing?"

Erza smiled. She was clearly suffering from shock. His voice was so realistic.

"The Erza I know doesn't give up that easy. If you did, I would've beat you so easily before."

Erza told herself to stop it. She couldn't move, and it was over. There was no saving grace this time.

"Seriously, Erza, I'm sitting here with half my legs cut off and I'm better off than you look."

Now this was seriously getting out of hand. But something slimy reached over and pushed her eyelids up. They felt hot and sticky. A face was right in hers. He had bright pink hair, and his face was covered in blood.

"Erza, this is getting annoying. Wake up." He slapped her face. It startled Erza into fully waking up. She was still in the titan's hand and her head was facing a dirty pink mouth. The only thing keeping her from being snapped in two by sharp teeth was a boy missing his lower legs. Natsu.

"Natsu!" She screamed. "It's Natsu! He's alive!" There was a rustling below her as her comrades attempted to understand to what she was saying.

"Of course I'm alive," Natsu deemed. "Whadya take me for? Weak? I'm not going down this way. You need to try a lot harder to beat me." Erza reached over to wipe some of the red blood of his face.

"But you got swallowed. And you're missing your legs!" Erza attempted.

"Well, I did get swallowed, but I was still living. I tried to climb up earlier, but the titan set off my motion sickness. By the time I finally climbed back up here, you were dying, and I saw it only fitting to save your life." The titan was still trying to stuff Erza into its mouth. "Whoops," Natsu called, stabilizing himself. "Lets get out of here."

He started to push out Erza, while slithering out himself. But then they dropped to the ground, as the titan disappeared, steaming. A hand reached in and pulled out Erza. Erza fell onto Levi's shoulder. He was smiling.

"You're okay." Levi realized. He turned around to see Natsu laying on the ground. "And so are you."

"Well," Natsu shifted around to show Levi his bleeding legs. "Mostly," he laughed. The rest of Fairy Tail was crying tears of joy as they crowded Natsu, awoken from their paralysis.

Commander Erwin broke through to Levi and Erza. "Levi, I hate to interrupt your happy reunion here, but the um, titans, and um, Eren."

Levi put his face back on. "Wizards. I understand how happy you are to have Dragneel back, but we still have a battle to win. There are still many titan left. Many of them are surrounding us right now. So let's win this. Though, do not kill the titan with green eyes. That is Eren. He is helping us. Unless of course he tries to kill you. Then kill him."

Gray's POV

"Oy, Gray," Natsu called. Gray turned to the man who just a moment ago was the center of attention, but now, lay discarded on the ground like a piece of trash as everyone else ran off to battle titans.

The only one left was Happy, but he was still bawling worse than Juvia.

"See, I wanna battle titans," Natsu explained. Gray rolled his eyes at how dense the boy was. "But," Natsu continued, "I don't have any lower legs.

"I can see that, Captain Obvious." Gray looked down at Natsu's legs, where blood was still flowing.

"And I can't find Wendy. So at this rate, I'm gonna not be able to battle titans and I'm gonna die from lack of blood. So, will you ice-make me some new legs?"

"Fine," Gray submitted. "But its gonna cost you."

Natsu's eyes lit up. "Whatever it takes!"

At that, Gray smiled. And it was definitely gonna cost him. Hehe.
