Ok so there's a reason this fic has been on hiatus for so long. The same day I posted chapter 1, one of my closest friends, the one who introduced me to Avatar and who I introduced to Attack on Titan, unexpectedly passed away. It's still so surreal, but thankfully I know he is with his Savior Jesus Christ. After seeing the requests and the support, I definitely want to keep this up, so this is in his memory.

I know the Avatarverse a lot better than the Titanverse admittedly, and I'm gonna warn you right now there are gonna be some breaks from canon on the Titan side. It shouldn't affect their characters but hopefully you'll wanna keep reading to know why I made the changes I made.

"What kind of Titan is this? It's bigger than any I've ever seen! And it has no skin! What is going on?"

Eren awoke from his daydream in utter shock. There was no way this could be normal. Had the spirits wanted to reveal something to him? There was no time - he had to make it to the rally. This was his chance to meet THE Avatar Korra. She was so brave, and he felt so cowardly.

"You're still not thinking of joining the scouting legion, are you?", came a calm, gentle voice from behind.

"Do you just wanna stay behind these walls forever? I don't feel like a man, I feel trapped like cattle. I need to be free, Mikasa."

"Yeah, Avatar Korra's definitely gonna love you. I just don't understand. You have a new family who cares about you, and you just want to leave them?"

"I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this for all of us."

Eren and Mikasa arrived just in time to watch the scouts return from their latest expedition. It was far from a triumphant parade. Most of the soldiers were still drenched in red. An old woman screamed and wept bitterly as one of the Scouts told her the news - her son wasn't coming home.

They were quickly joined by their "brother" Armin, who was nice enough to procure them gyros from a local stand. "How much did these cost you?", asked Mikasa.

"The guy gave them to me for free. Once I said we were orphans he just teared up and said I could have them."

"You can't use our situation to manipulate people, Armin."

"It filled our stomachs another day, did it not?"

"I know the situation is grim but the scouting expeditions are not in vain. We are slowly learning more about how to defeat the Titans. We never would have found their weak spot in the back of the neck if it weren't for those brave soldiers.", Korra hurriedly told another reporter. It was hard for her to remain calm with the boos of the crowd all around her, but she had learned to meditate better, and her beloved Iroh also kept her calm.

"Avatar Korra!", Eren yelled out, hoping she could hear him. "You're my hero and I stand with you!" But she kept moving. Eren was just another voice in the crowd.

Korra reached the podium and began to attempt to motivate. "You know I've never been good at public speaking, but I want to thank the brave scouts for their sacrifice outside the walls, as well as the rest of the United Forces. The damage I have done by keeping the portals open has been enormous, but I am going about making it right as best I can, and I can't do it alone. Please consider helping all of humankind. Recruiters are standing at the front to sign all who are willing."

"Don't do this Eren. We need you at home. Neither Armin or I have been able to hold a job for very long. How will we eat?"

"You didn't know your parents, but my mom was brave. Brave like Avatar Korra. She joined the scouting regiment and laid down her life for a cause bigger than herself. And I won't stop until we've killed every last titan! I have to do this, Mikasa."

That's when they heard it. A loud crash at the outer wall.
