The next morning arrived different than usual. The morning usually arrived fast and unwanted. Today it was quite wanted and took a long time for the sun to reach the horizon. But alas it had finally breached the window and landed on Izan's face. Izan rolled out of his bed and noticed that his sword was no longer on his back but on the side of the wall where his bed was against. He then remembered himself taking it off and putting it there before he rested himself on the bed.
Izan remembered his nightmare and looked at Mikasa's bed and Eren's bed… they were gone. He remembered the nightmare. Izan ran out of the building and turned to face the walls that were closest to him. He noticed that the cannons above the gate were gone and there were two parts of the wall that had been seriously damaged. Izan saw large red hands gripped onto the wall, and then a titan's head appear over the wall. It was the titan from his dream, and he didn't know if the gas he had would allow him to surpass the assault.
Izan immediately ran to the armory and saw that nobody was there; He realized they were probably defending the city so Izan ran into the room with a sign labeled fuel room and in it were ten large canisters of gas. Izan chose the one directly in front of the door and fuelled up the tanks strapped to his legs. While he did this there was a loud bang, it sounded like the wall was breached and pieces of it were flung everywhere. Izan turned off the gas valve and left to join the soldiers in the city. When Izan reached the main gate even he could see that there were titans entering the city. Izan was reminded of his nightmare and saw the part where Mikasa was being eaten.
Izan ran to the battlefield and looked for the soldiers that were fighting the titans. Izan found seven decomposing titans and went directly to the source of them… the wall. He noticed that there were some soldiers in the distance. Izan tried to catch up but as he became closer he saw more dead human bodies. Izan continued and eventually reached the place where the soldiers once stood. The soldiers that stood there were now long gone, then Izan heard loud thumping steps which stopped behind him, Izan turned to see a titan reaching for him. Izan removed his sword from its sheath and slashed at the titan's hand, cutting it off. Izan watched as the titan's hand smoked and regenerated.
Mikasa and Eren were not too far away from Izan's position. They were about seventeen houses south of Izan but didn't know that he was there until he was seen by one of their squad members. Mikasa heard one of the soldiers say "there's Izan… what's he doing out here, didn't we leave him at the Headquarters", Mikasa turned to see Izan stabbing a titans nape. Mikasa then saw five titans approaching Izan from behind.
Mikasa rushed to warn Izan of the titans that were approaching. But she was too late, the titans were only meters away and Izan had already engaged in battle from the ground. Three of the five titans arrived faster and began to attack Izan. One of the titans reached out to grab Izan and Izan cut its hand off, another tried to smash Izan into the ground and Izan barrel-rolled out of the way. The final stood and observed Izan for an unknown reason. Then the two five-meter class titans joined the three, and they encircled Izan. Mikasa landed beside Izan and Izan thought back to his dream. Mikasa drew her blades and put her back against Izan's.
Mikasa used her three dimensional maneuver gear to travel around the titans and she sliced the napes of two of them only to be stopped by the third. The cable was ripped out of the wall and Mikasa was launched violently against a building's wall and had a hard time breathing. Izan said "Mikasa, run and don't look back… I'll be fine, just GO" Mikasa stood up and watched as Izan was fighting off the titans, the titans had no interest in Mikasa and the only thing they wanted to do was rid Izan of the world. When she regained her breath she listened to Izan and fled… but only to get assistance from her comrades. Eren was the first to arrive but he took her by the wrist and ran away. She was looking back to see if Izan had escaped but he was just standing there and with his weapon sheathed. Mikasa thought about what Eren told her when she was younger "fight". She wanted to go back but she was too horrified about what came next. Izan was lifted into the air by a titan and dropped down its throat without resistance.
Mikasa began to cry. For the first time since she thought Eren had died she was crying. She was led into a building where the rest of the soldiers were checking their supplies. Mikasa was released onto the ground and dropped down to her knees. She continued to cry and it gathered the attention of many soldiers because they all knew that she didn't show emotion very often if ever she did. Eren asked Mikasa "why are you crying of all people, you should be glad he sacrificed himself to save you" many of the others didn't know what Eren was talking about one of the others stepped up and asked "what are you talking about, Eren". Eren answered with "Izan tried to fight off three titans at once and got himself killed, he was trying to save Mikasa and I dragged her here". Mikasa was still crying when she said "you could have helped me save Izan", the others understood what she was saying because two people against three titans would be easy. Another soldier asked Eren "why didn't you help Mikasa to save Izan, he is your family… so why not".
Izan was sitting in the stomach of a titan covered in the blood of the other people it consumed when he looked around and asked himself out loud "so this is what it looks like inside a titan, so many dead people". Izan took a whiff of the stench of the corpses that are in the pool of blood. Izan stood up, drew his blade and spoke "why don't we have some fun". Izan tapped his armor twice and it began to spread to his fore-arms, head and legs until it turned into a full body suit. Izan swung around his sword once and crouched. He then pointed his sword forward and squeezed his palm together causing him to burst out through the flesh of the titan's stomach. The titan was not paying any mind to the fact that Izan had survived and it continued walking.
Izan started to run into several alley ways until he reached an opening, Izan did the beginning if his maneuver that allowed him to travel better. Izan jumped and stamped onto the hard grounds and shot into the air. Izan saw in the distance that there were some soldiers fighting a titan. Izan felt like interrupting them so he angled himself to face the titan's nape and made a fist twice causing two simultaneous explosions. He hit the titan within five seconds and the titan's head fell to the ground. Then the titan fell and the soldiers were puzzled on how the titan died. They turned around to see a hole in the building's window across from them. From the building emerged a man in armor one of them asked "Izan", Izan answered with a question "yeah, is my squad still deployed". The other soldier spoke "yes… they are at the resupply station east of here, we thought you were dead". Izan answered "you thought wrong" Izan left to reach the resupply station hoping that Mikasa made it there in one piece.
