Chapter Eighteen: Not In A Long Shot
F/N emerged form their titan, covered in evaporating blood as they looked round at the dead tita\ns around them. F/N grinned as he saw The Mauler titan stand to his feet too, looking up at the sky with his elongated head. Petra emerged from the castle, with Major Shadis in cuffs. followed by Sophia, Dr Jaeger, David and Shaun.
"so thats' it, eh?" they asked as F/N walked over to their team. "yep, the convoy'll be here soon, so we'll need to resupply asap people." Shaun spoke as he took charge again. The group made their way to the armory, all except for David, who looked up at his brother, "You do know you'll be able to come back with us, right Aurou?" His brother turned, crouching to his level, "Don't worry, David. as long as I know you are alive, I am home." the beast spoke softly before raising to his feet and striding off towards the treeline. That was the last time David saw his brother; Aurou Bozardo, the Mauler Titan.
"Contact! twelve o'clock, horizon. Its' the convoy!" Dr Jaeger called out from the roof of the castle as he readied a set of 3DMG. David looked on at the advancing trail of horses and carts. "hold on a minute, those are Survey Corps troopers!" He yelled as he saw some of the soldiers sporting the Wings Of Freedom. The convoy reached the castle, and they were indeed members of the Survey Corps, Captain Mike Zacharius, Connie Springer, Jean Kirstchien and many others, even the famous Commander Erwin Smith.
"Sir, Private David Bozardo, at your service. " David saluted the soldiers. "we've been here a while sir, you just missed a hell of a fight, we came across a Military Police project, sir. We captured their commander too." Commander Smith dismounted from his horse as the squad emerged from the Castle.
"Good job people.2 he congartulated them. "we got wind of your operation and came looking for you, we're gonna need every Survey Corps soldier we can get. A big batles' coming up, and we'll lead humanity through it." He spoke. "alright, everyone, on a horse or cart, we're moving out. He turned to the back of the convoy. "Back to Wall Rose!" he yelled as they all boarded transport.
Major Brian Shadis was escorted by a group of soldiers nto one of the carts as the squad boarded another. Petra sat opposite David as they all crammed into the small craft. "Hey Petra! you'll be able to meet up with Captain Levi, right?" David asked, Petra smiled and nodded her head, "yeah. I can't believe we did it, we won!" David shook his head, "no, it isn't over yet, not in a long shot." He turned to Shaun, "Isn't that right sir?"
Shaun nodded and David said a motavational quip, "and thats' why I want to see it end." Shaun looked off onto the horizon, "Don't we all, David, Don't we all..." They stared off into the sunset as the convoy began to head home.

Thats' it. I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry the ending was a bit anticlimactic, but I've uploaded a sequel: AoT Downfall 2: ENDGAME. Have a read of what I've done so far on it if you want.
Stay awesome!
