I DO NOT OWN THE ORIGINAL AO ONI CONCEPT OR SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN

There are few moments of cursing in this chapter...and gore?

-Eren P.O.V-

...Huh..? Yeah, I'm in the mansion..But why am I all alone? Better keep my gear on; who knows when that thing will attack again?

I was walking around the rooms, and somehow, there was a room that wasn't locked...And I was sure it was locked before, but, whatever..I'm just gonna go in.

Wait...Is this a long hallway...? There's a bookshelf too, I wonder why it's even there. It's fallen..though...? It looks like there's something under it..? There is a bump under..

I slowly walked to the bookshelf, and put my hands under it. I spread my legs out to help balance, and lifted the bookshelf up without any difficu- WHAT IS THAT...?

C-Captian! Captain Levi! I-Is this...his corpse!? This can't be...! H-He is humanity's strongest soldier, he can't possibly die in a simple accident like this...!

"Just what the hell his happening in this damn mansion!?" I yelled as I slowly curled my hands into fists. I slammed them on the floor out of frustration, which made them bleed. Wait...I'm hearing footsteps, again...No..! Not you! I won't fall to you..!

"You were the one that killed Levi didn't you!?" I ran towards it through the long, wide hallway. Somehow...this thing looks different than the one we saw...I-It's a lot taller... It seems stronger too.

The thing swung it's arms at me. I tried to dodge but it hit me, straight where Bertholdt had the hole in his torso. I fell next to Levi's dead body...Fuck...I can't..get..up..

No! I will not lose! If I can't fight, I can't win. If I lose, I die. I don't want to die, so I have to win. I'm trying to get up, but at the same time I'm coughing out blood.. I fell back on my back. Wait...Maybe..I bit my hand hard, hoping that I would turn into a titan.

It's not working?! What..!? Aigh.. I kept biting my hand, each with grunts of pain; just hoping that I would turn into a titan. They didn't work somehow..No..! Is the bookshelf going to fall on me. Oh shit..! I have to get awa-

I let out a huge gasp as I woke up from the horrid dream..what was it about again..? Sighing, I once agan saw Armin and Mikasa looking at me.

Once again they said "Eren, why are you crying?" And I gave them the same response. I really couldn't remember what happened in my dream, and at the same time, I didn't know why. Let's just get out of this damned mansion.

Regular P.O.V

Eren smelled the scent of Marco's cooking again as he walked over to the table, where their breakfast was being served. It was completely quiet between the soldiers. Of course, they were facing the fact that Bertholdt was gone; his two best friends being the most affected. Connie and Sasha sat next to them, trying to cheer them up even though their faces had a grave expression.

Jean was helping Marco with the cooking again, and almost cut his finger off, which worried Marco. He sighed as he let Jean stir the soup and had himself cut the vegetables. Even between those two, it was quiet. They soon finished with their cooking and came to the table to give everyone their fair share of soup.

Reiner sighed as Marco served him his food, and Marco gave a soft smile in return. He put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, I know Bertholdt is dead, but you still have all of us, right?" Reiner couldn't help but smile back at the freckled boy. Marco also patted Annie's head softly. She made a soft snort in return.

"So, any rooms that we need to check out?" Levi rested his chin on his hands as he slightly leaned down on the table.

"Well...I didn't mention it before, but there was a room I entered the first time we all split up in groups. I was opening a curtain, and there were letters smudged with blood on it. Then, out of fear, I ran away and found Marco reading a book." He looked at the ground; his eyebrows were slightly widened.

"That book was pretty cute." Marco seemed to be the only one smiling out of all the soldiers. He really was one of the most cheerful people out there, after all this

"Well, we should probably use the same plan as last time, as in all of us sticking together," Armin spoke. "We should investigate the other rooms. There might be a basement, an attic, or maybe even an annex; saying that this is a mansion. There might also be some rooms we haven't checked out, yet."

Eren was stirring his soup around in his bowl, and took a deep sigh. He'd wanted to get out of the mansion more than anyone else. And to be honest, he was afraid. He was afraid to lose his friends; that they would all perish to their deaths. He didn't want to be alone, and had already seen so many fall with his own eyes. Mikasa and Armin noticed that he was deep in thought. They knew he was worried, and they comforted him to help make him feel better.

"Eren, eat. It will at least help you stay alive." She took the spoon from him and half-forced it into his mouth. "I'll protect you when you're in trouble..."

"Eren, it's going to be okay. We're all here for you." Armin rubbed his hand slowly on Eren's back. Eren sighed back in reply, and slightly grinned.

"Yeah, I guess.."

About ten minutes later, the soldiers were finishing up their food and putting on their gear. They grew even more cautious than last time...and more afraid.

The trainees and Levi slowly stepped out of the room and into the hallway. The bloodstains from Bertholdt's corpse were still there. Reiner and Annie avoided looking at it, as it would remind them of their best friend. Those two were the quickest ones to leave the room. They seemed to be partly okay on the outside, but on the inside, they were mourning harshly for him.

The group walked down the stairs, and Reiner almost slid on one of them. It felt like something made that part slippery on purpose, because the others that walked on that portion of the stairs didn't have any problem going down.

They soon walked on over to the kitchen, on which they haven't been able to actually inspect yet. Ymir and Christa walked over to a few shelves which were full of bread; encased by a glass covering.

"These pieces of bread kind of look stale." She pointed at them while looking at Ymir.

Ymir nodded in reply. "Yeah, I guess so. What else is there to look at?" She glanced at some pots and pans over at the stove, there seemed to be nothing useful.

Connie tried to open a door near the end of the kitchen, but it wouldn't budge.

"Open you damn door!" He was cursing at it, hoping that it would open. Sasha stared at him awkwardly.

"Uh, Connie...Maybe we need a key to open the door..." She lightly scratched her finger against her cheek.

"Ha...I knew that!" He grinned out of embarrassment, and walked over to the others, where they were looking in any drawer or anything else they can to help them get out of the mansion; or at least help them explore deeper into it.

Levi leaned on the wall with his hands crossed and stood in a slightly slanted position.

"Well, it doesn't seem like there is anything useful in here." He said loudly so the others would pay attention to him. "Also, I'm wondering. Wouldn't the rest of the Scouting Legion had sent a search party for us?"

"..." Armin thought to himself. "That would be likely, though I don't understand why they haven't found us yet. It's been about two days. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard...Would it?"

Hanji walked toward Erwin's office, about to send in reports about the missing soldiers. They had been missing for two days, and still no sign of them has been found.

"Erwin..." She walked into his office and gently put the papers down facing him.

"Still no luck?" He said with his strong voice. He crossed his fingers and laid his chin on them. Hanji shook her head in reply. The first day they had been missing, Hanji and Erwin sent multiple search parties outside the walls, which led to many deaths. There was truly no sign of them. They had talked to civilians, had traveled through forests, almost everywhere they could think of. Of course, Hanji and Erwin knew nothing about the mansion. So they couldn't do anything about it. Even Mike's sense of smell couldn't get to them. It seemed like they were missing, and possibly...missing forever...

But, even though they couldn't find them. The squad leaders and commander were persistent, and worked nonstop to get their most important soldiers back onto safety of the Scouting Legion HQ. It was just two days though. They hoped that the missing soldiers would come back, and without any injuries.

The soldiers were now exploring another room, it was a library with a bunch of book cases on the right.

Jean walked forward. "Well, there's got to be some informatio-Holy fuck!" Jean was about to walk past the last bookshelf when the thing appeared from behind it and whacked him in the chest. Jean panted and coughed heavily as his spine came into contact with the wall, harshly.

(( Background music: watch?v=k7LepwOE2Lc))

"Jean!" Marco ran over to him as fast as he could to him. But he didn't notice the arm slamming him down onto the floor next to him. He made a loud, pained sound as his face met the floor. The thing seemed pushed Marco's head to the floor harshly a few more times, until Armin called it over.

"Armin distract the fucking thing! Connie, Sasha! Take care of those two! Every body else, try to attack it and kill the mother fucker!" Levi commanded as he swiftly moved through the wide room to attack it's eyes. Mikasa and Annie worked to cut it's ankles, while it chased Armin around, making sure to make a clean hit. They kept hitting it's legs to make sure it fell down and was not able to get up. The room was filled with the sound of grunts and the sound of cutting.

"Don't attack the nape! It doesn't work!" Armin yelled loudly.

Once the thing fell down on it's knees, Levi used his 3D Manuever Gear to get up to it's height.

"You wanna play this game again? Let's play.." He hissed as he was about to throw the blades into it's eyes once again. But he was too slow. It had grabbed him in it's large hand, so tight he wouldn't have been able to get out.

"Captain!" Eren had swooped down and cut the thing's arm off. Levi fell down on the ground, having the giant hand break his fall. "Are you okay, Levi!?" Eren ran over to him and straightened out the fingers of the thing so Levi could get out.

"Sure, let's just get rid of this bitch, okay?" Levi hardened his expression, and Eren could tell he was boiling in anger. Levi made a loud sound as he made it over to the thing's eyes and hit them. He then used his gear to fly around and hit it as hard as he could. This time, the thing was too slow. Reiner and Armin were working hard to make sure it was only in one place to make it easier to attack.

"I know it was you who killed Bertholdt." Annie quietly said as she quickly cut around the monster. "I'll kill you for that." Annie was furious, and moved faster while cutting it; having Mikasa catch up to her rythym of fighting.

Marco was lying limp on the ground. While they were fighting, he looked up at Jean, who had Connie and Sasha taking care of him.

"Jean..." He groaned out his name in pain. His face was bleeding from his forehead. His nose was bleeding also.

"Marco!" Jean tried to move to him, but was unable to because of the large pain in his chest.

It had been about thirty minutes, and they were still fighting. Their energy to fight was decreasing, and Marco and Jean were still hurt. Marco was starting to feel dizzy. The monster/thing was finally able to break out of their little attacking spree and was able to fend Mikasa, Annie, and Levi off. It went after the one with least energy:Marco.

It walked at a great speed towards the other end of the room, where Marco was. He watched in horror, seeing that he would die. His body was too tired to move, so he couldn't move any part of his body to help him escape. It was about to toss Marco against the wall so severly that he would die once he came into touch with it.

Marco laid there, awaiting his death. It put its hands up in the air, as if it was to swat him, like a person would do to a fly or mosquito. Everybody watched in horror with widened eyes, as they saw it raise it's arms.

((Background music: watch?v=waloKJAIAO0 ))

"Marco!"

Jean didn't want his friend to die. Even though it hurt, he used the best of his ability to drag Marco out of the way. The things hand smacked onto him and slammed him against the hard, cold wall.

"Aeugh! Mar-" Jean's back his the wall once again. He slid down the wall, and started to cough out blood. The dark red substance coming out of his mouth sent Marco into shock.

"Jean!" Marco somehow crawled over to Jean and shook him. The other boy was coughing and breathing heavily. "No...Jean you can't die! You're part of the top ten of the Trainees Corps!"

Jean tried to speak, but that just left more blood to spew out. "M-Marco...It's okay...I'll be alright. The pain...in my chest...hurts though."

He had fallen unconsious, and maybe even dead. Marco felt the tears rushing to his eyes. He shook his head in denial. Jean couldn't be dead. He was one of the best soldiers. They wouldn't, and couldn't, die.

"Jean...Jean.." Marco said the name over and over again while he held his best friend, Jean Kirchstein of the 104th Trainees Squad. "Dammit, why the fuck did you have to die!?" Marco's sobs turned louder. Everybody mourned for the loss of Marco's best friend.

"Not another one! Dammit!" Eren furrowed his eyebrows. "I might've hated the guy but still!"

The room was filled with the sobs of all the soldiers; just like how they mourned for the loss of Bertholdt. One by one...

Levi did not believe that Jean was dead. He walked up to Marco and took Jean's body away from him, and put his ear next to his chest. It was still beating.

"His heart is still beating! He is not dead!" Levi shouted to the others. They had gotten so caught up with Jean that they did not notice the monster was still there. Mikasa quickly ran up to it and tried to slice it. But it disappeared. Just simply vanished; like how the Colossal titan disappeared when Eren tried to attack it.

Marco frantically took Jean's body and listened to his heartbeat. He felt more tears coming out now, and smiled. He didn't cry in tears of despair, but tears of happiness.

The freckled boy held Jean's face. "Oh thank God. Jean, you're alive!" His tears fell down and hit Jean's cheeks.

"He's just unconcious...We should go back." Mikasa said as she walked toward the door.

"C'mon Marco. Connie, you carry Jean." Sasha was helping Marco up. "We need some bandages for you head.."

"Ah...That's right.." He replied.

And so they walked up the stairs to the safe room. Again, Reiner had that strange feeling the first time he went on the stairs, and everybody else had a feeling that they were being watched. It wasn't that weird now, since they knew this mansion had a dangerous monster, and possibly more. As they walked into the safe room, the thing had appeared once again. It wasn't' going to let them go that easily.

"Dammit. Again!?" Eren yelled at it. "Can't you just leave us alone!? Let's just get into the damn safety room!"

All of them ran straight to the room.

((Background music: watch?v=HwW2_hkTQLs ))

"Augh!" Connie made a grunting sound as he was dragged onto the floor. His body used all it's strength to get up. But the efforts were ruined as he was smashed onto the floor, like how Marco did.

"Connie!" Sasha ran over to him as fast as she could, but it only made matters worse. She had also gotten hit from the thing in her abdomen.

"Sasha! What are you doing!? Now we're both gonna die!" Connie and Sasha were now cornered against the wall.

"I-I never wanted to die like this..." Sasha could feel the tears coming out of her eyes. She was going to see what she feared most, death. She and Connie were going to die if they didn't get out of there. But...they were too tired, and the pain was too great. It felt like the monster was getting stronger and stronger with each encounter.

"I-It's okay..." Connie smiled. It was hard to smile, because he was facing death, but he knew that it would end soon.

"We've got to do something!" Eren reached out to them but Levi and Mikasa held him back. "THEY'RE JUST GOING TO DIE IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING..!"

"You idiot, we're all too tired to keep fighting and we'd all die if we did. Plus it's too late to do something...!" Levi was actually struggling to keep Eren back. "Ackerman, Arlert! Come help me with Eren!"

Mikasa and Armin obeyed him. They pushed them back into the safe room. Eren was thrashing and kicking, anything he could do to get out of their grasp. Once he did, he was about to run outside, but was stopped by Reiner and Annie.

"Eren! Face it! They're gone!"

"You could say that about Bertholdt!"

This triggered Reiner to carry him up and throw him on the floor. Eren knew he and Annie were greatly disturbed by Bertholdt's death, and he had hit the bullseye.

"Don't talk about Bertholdt..."

Sasha and Connie were fighting for their lives. They tried to ignore the pain, but it was getting to them. Reiner was closing the door, and they were crying for their lives.

"Connie...I don't want to die...!" She sobbed as she tried to dodge the monster's attacks. But she was too slow and too weak. Sasha was lying weak on the ground.

"Sasha...Aaaaaaaah!" Connie felt the thing pick him up and started to tug his body from leg to head. He grunted heavily as he struggled to keep himself in one piece. Sasha watched in horror as he monster ripped his head. Blood was spewing out from his neck, and his eyes turned dull. His mouth was fixed open, and the cords between his brain and spinal cord were snapped with fluids spilling out. His body was limp and fell like a toy thrown on the ground when the thing dropped it.

"No! Connie!" Sasha started screaming. There was nowhere she could go now; only to the corner of the room. They wouldn't open the door to the safe room even if she tried. That choice would leave everyone dead. Sasha yelled loudly as she mourned for Connie. She felt a heavy weight whack her head, and everything went black.

They all heard the sound of flesh being crushed and ripped apart from inside the room. There was a long moment of silence. Eren was crying, hard.

"Why...The people that led us to this mansion...had to be one of the first to die...?" He said through sobs and sniffles. "Are we ever going to get out at all!?"

"E-Eren...Don't be so pessimistic..." Armin put his hands on Eren's back once again.

And so, this ends the second and third deaths of Shingeki no Oni. Will everybody die? Or will the remaining get out together?

Will Hanji and Erwin ever find them?

I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING AAAH

And this is the longest chapter yet.~~ Hehe~~~
