Top of Wall Rose, year 850
He was going to make it. He had to.
He noticed that the colossal titan was leaning, and after the armored titan's cry, it had fallen over.
That was precisely when Allen transformed.
His plan was to knock Eren out of the way of the colossal titan's head. He even made eye contact with Eren in his titan form… he couldn't tell what his expression was though. Allen wasted no time dwelling on what everyone must have thought about his form. That would all be for later, when all of this is solved.
However, it didn't seem like that was going to happen.
The Colossal titan's head had fallen above them, when Allen was just out of Eren's reach. The next moment caught both Allen and Eren by surprise. The head exploded into hot air, and it was so great, that the soldiers that had jumped off of the wall and into battle were thrust back into the wall, and knocked into unconsciousness.
Allen and Eren struggled to stand. Allen had never dealt with something like this before, so he had no idea what to do.
He saw that the colossal titan had recovered, since Eren no longer had him in his hold, which was bad news for the both of them.
Within seconds, the armored titan mutilated Eren and captured him. Allen watched with horror, realizing that with the armored titan's heavy body he can stand in the explosion with ease. However, Allen's titan form was built much like Eren's, so all he could do was plant his feet in the ground and grit his teeth.
He let out a roar of frustration when he saw that the armored titan was approaching him. He tried to lift a fist, but he was crushed in an instant. The next moment blurred, and next thing he knew the darkness consumed him.
Trost, year 850
Jean sat on a crate, along with a few other soldiers, and waited for his next commands. It was getting boring for him, but Levi insisted they waited for orders. "Are there really no titans…?" He wondered.
"Looks like it. I thought it was oddly quiet." A nearby soldier commented.
Jean paused. "I wonder if they're alive…"
A group of Military Policeman approached the Survey Corps soldiers. The leader hummed. "We heard it was an emergency and came out here, but things look pretty relaxed around this place." He spotted Levi. "Hey, Levi! Where's our prey?"
Levi turned his head. "What? You fellows look awfully disappointed. Sorry that I couldn't set you up with any titans. You might be out of luck this time around, but there are plenty of chances to see them outside the walls." The Military Police didn't respond. "Why don't we start combining our forces to face off against the titans?"
They seemed skeptical. "Well… you know, we have work on the inside too…"
"The advance party is back!" With a whoosh, a girl with two pigtails landed in between the Military Police and Levi. Her purple eyes widened with fear, as her flamed boots deactivated she continued frantically, "Someone tell Pixis!"
After a few moments, Pixis made his way through the crowd, along with Erwin. She seemed slightly intimidated by Erwin, but nevertheless felt relieved. "There were no holes or any other irregularities in the wall."
"I see…" Pixis hummed.
"But the situation has turned into an emergency!" She gulped. "However, among the Survey Corps, three soldiers were titans!" She hesitated. "One from my Corp was a titan as well…"
Jean didn't believe this. "Huh? What are you saying?!" She flinched when he approached her, yelling at her face. "T-there were three… no, four titans on that team?! Who?!" He demanded.
Erwin stepped in. "Jean, wait." He turned to Lenalee. "Once the titans were discovered, what happened?"
"We all tried to engage the colossal and armored titans in battle, but everything ended too quickly, long before reinforcements from the Garrison arrived!"

Bodies lay side by side atop of their green capes. Lavi grimaced. Too many casualties… Lenalee left as soon as the battle ended to give the other soldiers the news.
Even he and Kanda had injuries. Their muscles ached in protest when they moved, and bruises pounded.
"All right, Baka Usagi. Tell me: how long was Allen this… albino titan?" Kanda said.
Lavi frowned. "Always, I guess." He shrugged, but nevertheless, after the annoyed look he received from Kanda, he continued on with the story Allen had told him.
By the time he finished, horses had made it up the wall, and were now being led towards them. Lenalee had landed next to them. "I still can't believe it…" She muttered, as they regrouped with the rest of the soldiers.
The person who had been leading the new group dismounted his horse. "Commander Erwin?!"
"The MPs too?" Lavi commented.
Suddenly he felt a firm hand wrap around his ankle. He yelped, and looked to the source. Hange could only drag herself around, it seemed, and decided to grip onto his ankle. "Hange?!"
"The… the map…" She breathed. Within moments, everyone gathered around her and her map. She pointed to an area. "Here… there's a titan forest here, but, you should head that way. I don't think that the armored titan will be able to hide his footsteps… but either way… they're probably headed there."
"Why?" Someone in the group asked.
"It's a gamble, but… they might be able to turn into titans, but outside the walls, other titans are still a threat to them." She replied. "I'm sure they're not in bad a shape as Eren, but they must be drained after fighting that hard. Especially since Allen joined in. Also, I believe Annie was out for a while after transforming." She breathed, but nevertheless continued. "And let's also assume that they don't have enough stamina left to cross a distance that great. Let's assume that their goal is to reach the other side of wall Maria. They'd have to find a resting place where titans can't get them, right? Until night, when the titans can't move." Startling a couple soldiers she yelled, "WE HAVE UNTIL NIGHT! WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT IN TIME IF WE CAN GET TO THE FOREST BEFORE NIGHT!"
Titan forest, year 850
It was rather serene. That was what Allen noticed when he jolted awake.
His body steamed. As soon as he noticed his right arm was gone, he urged himself to heal that one spot. Similar to when Annie had focused on healing her one eye when both of them had been cut out.
He looked around, and noticed he was leaning against a trunk of a large tree. This must be Titan Forest… His head whipped to the side, and noticed that Eren and Ymir were with him as well. Both were sleeping, and both had their arms cut off.
Allen came to the conclusion that Reiner and Bertoldt couldn't figure out the way to cut off his left arm. He was glad for that part, otherwise that meant that he would lose his innocence as well. In fact, if he can activate his innocence now, he would be able to escape easily. Perhaps even open the gate for them.
"Innocence…" He breathed, as quietly as he could.
However, he knew something felt wrong. It didn't surge with energy. "Activate…"
Nothing happened.
"That is not going to work."
