DisclaimerXx Naruto and attack on titan do not belong to me.

The outer wall of the Shiganshina district, a town at Wall Maria had been breached. The titans had made a counterattack.

Eren

Eren was numb.

His world cracked and broken and completely and utterly shattered.

His eyes locked into the colossal Titan. Wait. No. This wasn't a titan, titans had never been measured up to this size. This was a true monster. A monster looming over its prey, no mercy in it's gaze.

He couldn't stop shaking (why wouldn't it stop, he had always wanted to seem brave and bold and to stand and fight against the titans) And even as his mind ignored them his basic survival instincts told him to run, run, run. And never look back. He grasped the hands of his normally stoic sister (teeth gritted, terror in eyes, scared) and his blonde best friend ( wide eyes, silent scream, despair). Subconsciously seeking with unnatural desperation the comfort that their presences brought ( all he wanted at that moment was Naruto to stride in, confident and powerful, and to sweep him into her arms and tell him that everything was going to be ok. For his mother to smile in that way of hers that made you feel completely and utterly safe. Why didn't anyone come? Why?)

{A snap as the walls that safeguard his heart crack}

He takes a step back, even as it raises its head and seems to look right at him.

{A thud as gradually more debris and rocks fall from his inner walls.}

With a silent, in that pocket in which they all stood stunned and lost, explosion a gigantic hole appears as the monster kicks straight through solid, metres depth stone with seemingly no exertion. It was then enveloped in thick opaque smoke that stretched for it's entirety. Then the world caught up with Eren, as if time had been dragged from slow motion and instead set to fast forward.

Screams cut through the air like a sharp blade, even as people climbed and barged and shoved. Desperately moving away from the walls (when once they had clung to them in desperation, Eren would later muse to himself in dark irony) The titans began to filter inside, hideous and wretched expressions set permanently upon their faces.

Eren didn't even realise he was running until his right hand, which Mikasa held whilst Armin clung to his left, was violently tugged. This action caused him to release Armin's in shock, and he watched with wide eyes (still running) as the blonde was pulled away by the tidal wave that was the crowd rushing towards their safety. He then turned, angry and frustrated, to Mikasa who returned his gaze steadily before looking to the right in obvious distress. And then he understood,

"My home is over there."

A sob attacked his throat viciously even as he stumbled forward, Mikasa his ever present shadow on both panic and desperation.

"Mother is,"

Mother.

It could not have hit his home! Just around this corner (inwardly he was praying, begging to any and all deitys in existence) their house was standing there, like always!

It wasn't

What remained of the house was nothing more then jumbled beams and broken stone. Twisted and mutated into a nauseating mocking of their home. And under one such beam lay his mother (his proud, brave and beautiful mother he had never seemed to do wrong) trapped waist to feet under the fallen debris.

"Mikasa, grab that end!"

Both he and his ever silent (even as wretched tears gathered in her eyes) sister immediately rushed forward, adrenaline pumping through their veins alongside their life blood. However they could do nothing. Nothing!

Loud footsteps. (It couldn't end like this he screamed within the safety of his mind)

A wide utterly fucked up smile (they were monsters they should just die. Die. Die. Die. Die)

Titan

"Hurry up Mikasa!"

"I know!"

He ignored his mothers screams for him to run. Because how could he run? They were a family. When this was over they would all be happy, meet Naruto again and live happily ever after. He would have a long and productive career in titan slaying before retiring and having kids. Yes it would all be perfectly fine. (He knew he was deluding himself and fantasizing about a future that could never exist. But honestly at that point in time he was too far gone to actually care anymore)

He ignored the strain if the beam even as he tried to lift higher.

He ignored the advancing behemoth.

He ignored the tears falling from all of their eyes.

A metallic hum as Hannes lands next to them, a grimace set upon his face. He watches, numb and still trying to lift he beam, as his mother tells Hannes to run and taken Mikasa and him to safety.

"Don't go underestimatin' me, Kalura. I'm gonna slaughter these Titans and save all three of ya!"

But the garrison soldier's advance stops as it begins. Eren could do nothing as Hannes halted scared out of his mind as he stands mere yards away from the overwhelming Titan. The soldier trembled as it looked down upon him superior to him in every way. Hannes quickly rethought the situation, sheathed his standard grade twin swords, and grabbed the children.

Ignoring Eren's protests and Mikasa's silent desperation.

Ignoring the relief that tinged Kalura's face.

Ignoring the incoming titan's heavy footsteps.

"Eren. Mikasa. You have to survive! (Arm stretched towards them. Loving smile. Reassurance) find Naruto!"

Mikasa turned away. Eren didn't. He witnessed with delayed horror as ITpulled mother from the wreckage. ( as one would pull a chocolate from a box) As IT silenced her with it's all encompassing hands. As ITopened its jaws. As IT bit down.

Dying the air bitter crimson with her blood.

With his mother's blood.

{His inner walls completely fall as a giant hand reaches forward and inhuman irises of amber with black scalera peer down from a shadowed face. He doesn't take the hand - but somehow knows that one day he will.}

Phew.

Another chapter done, this was all from Eren's view as I believe his would be the most reliable viewpoint. In comparison to Mikasa who has already lost her parents. Sorry, no Naruto in this one.
