When I opened my eyes, everything was dark and hazy.
"Where am I?" I mumbled as I looked around, trying to see where I was.
I could tell that I was standing in a pool of liquid...was I wading in a pond? As my eyes adjusted, I looked down and gasped. I wasn't wading in a pond, no I was standing in red liquid surrounded by corpses. This meant only one thing, I had been swallowed whole by a titan. Everything that had happened came back to me. Reiner, he tried carrying me back to headquarters when a titan slammed its hand down on the room, separating us. As I tried crawling to him, I was grabbed and then the titan swallowed me. I looked at my right arm and gasped. It wasn't there…it was gone.
"T-this can't be happening!" I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I can't die like this! If I die, I won't get to see Leo and his mother! If I die, I will never see my friends or I will never be able to argue with Jean over stupid things! If I die…I'll never be able to think about Reiner," I whispered, and then plunged my hand down into the red liquid.
I felt around for the blades on my 3d maneuvering gear, slid one out of its slot, and then made my way over to the titan's stomach.
"Sorry, but I am not turning into a pile of titan crap in the woods!" I said as I plunged my blade into the titan's stomach, and it roared loudly. A tidal wave of read liquid splashed me in the face, and I spat out some of the liquid, and it didn't taste great at all.
"You can roar and stomp around all you want, but I am getting out of here!" I said loudly and began attempting to cut myself out of the titan's stomach, but it wasn't working.
Soon, I dropped my hand to rest a bit and sighed, "I won't give up…." I whispered and then looked up at the titan's esophagus.
"You hear me?! I won't give up!" I screamed loudly, and at that, everything went black…
-Jean's POV-
"Hey, weren't we taught not to let a fellow soldier fight alone?! You all are turning into cowards!" Jean said and followed after Mikasa.
"Did you guys hear that? You are all cowards!" Sasha said, and she and Connie both followed after Jean.
Soon, everyone began thinking about Mikasa's words and then followed her lead. They had to do this quickly, because if they didn't, they would all run out of gas and would be doomed!
"Mikasa's amazing!" Connie exclaimed as he watched his fellow cadet sore through the air.
"No, she's using too much gas! She'll run out soon!" Armin said and watched as Mikasa took down a titan and then turned.
They cadets continued following her lead, but soon Mikasa had ran out of gas and fell onto a roof top below.
"Jean, take the lead!" Connie shouted as he turned to go after Mikasa, and Jean cursed and continued going.
Would he be leading his comrades to their death? He didn't know, but he hoped they would survive until they got to headquarters. As the cadets continued to make their way towards the huge building that was covered in titans, a group of titans approached them and Jean bit his lip. The cadets maneuvered their way through the titans, but some weren't lucky. Jean had almost ended up with them, but as one of the titans grabbed his leg, he sliced off its finger and continued going. At full speed, Jean raced to headquarters, put his arms in front of his face, and crashed through one of the glass windows. As he rolled over on the floor, he looked to see how many cadets had made it. Thankfully, only a few had died.
As Jean sat up on his knees, he turned his head and saw two soldiers hiding under the desk. It was the Quartermasters. In anger, Jean grabbed the male by the color of his shirt and punched him square in the face, and Marco grabbed his friend, pulling him back.
"You pathetic cowards, you left us to die!" Jean yelled, and the girl soldier, who had blood on her face, crouched down in front of her fellow comrade and looked at Jean.
"The titans blocked us in, there was nothing we could to!" she yelled back, and Jean glared at her.
"It's your job to figure out a way how to deal with the problem! A lot of soldiers died because of you!" he yelled in anger, and Marco sighed.
"Jean, calm down!" he said, letting go of his friend, and Jean did his best to calm down.
Soon the room fell silent and everyone stood there, but the silence didn't last long.
"Everyone, get down!" Reiner yelled, and the building shook as a titan made hole into the building.
At this, everyone began panicking and ran to the door, trying to escape, but Jean just stood there, staring at the titan who was looking back at him. As he stared at titan, a gigantic fist came into contact with the titan's face.
"What?!" Jean said and watched as the titan flew away from the hole, and another titan appeared.
Soon, three people broken through another window, and Jean saw that it was Armin, Connie, and Mikasa.
"Good job Armin, we made it just in time!" Connie said, slapping Armin on the back.
Connie then stood up and pointed to the titan that had just punched the other titan.
"Guys, that abnormal titan only attacks other titans! This is our ticket out of here!" Connie said, and everyone began talking and Jean shook his head.
"No, that's impossible!" Jean said, and Mikasa shook her head.
"No, it's not Jean, c'mon we need to take back the supply room," Mikasa said and all the remaining cadets followed her.
Once they were down stairs by the lift that would take them to the supply room, they began searching for anything that would help them beat the titans that had managed to get into to the supply room.
"Ok, we found some boxes full of Military Police riffles that are covered in dust, will these work" Jean asked as he took one out of the wooden box.
"I'm sure those will do fine," Armin said, and looked at the faces around him.
"Ok, here's the plan, we're are looking at about seven three or four meter titans in the supply room. Most of the cadets will take a riffle, step into the lift, and then will be lowered down into the supply room. When the titans come into view, you will shoot them which will blind them. Then, seven of you will swoop down from the ceiling and strike their nape. That's it…that's the plan! If one group messes up we are all dead," Armin said, and Marco smiled.
"Hey, I say that's an amazing plan!" He said, smiling, and the others nodded.
"Ok, everyone into the lift!" Jean said as everyone began piling into the lift with a rifle.
"Good luck you guys," Marco said as he joined the rest of the cadets in the lift.
Soon the lift slowly went down, and Marco and Armin could feel their comrades shaking in fear. Once the lift came to a stop, they all pointed their guns at the titans and waited for them to close it.
"Hold your fire, let them come closer!" Marco said, and watched as the titans came closer and closer to the lift.
"Wait for it…on my signal…" Marco said as he placed his finger onto the trigger.
Once the titans had come as close as they could, that's when Marco gave the signal.
"Fire!"
At that, the cadets pulled the triggers on their guns, and soon the supply room was loud with gun fire. As the titans recoiled from the lift, blinded, Mikasa, Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, Sasha, Connie, and Jean swooped down and stuck at the titan's nape, but Sasha and Connie had missed.
"H-hey there, I'm sorry about that!" Sasha said as she backed away from the titan.
"Oh no, Connie and Sasha missed!" Jean called, and Sasha screamed as the titan tried to tackle her.
Mikasa and Annie jumped in and killed the remaining titans.
"Mikasa, you saved my life!" Sasha said as she grabbed onto her jacket.
"Are you hurt?" Mikasa asked, and Sasha shook her head.
"N-No, I'm ok!"
"Then get up, we have to refill our gas tanks quickly," she said and then left to go refill her gas tanks.
Once all of the cadets had filled up their gas tanks, they made their way out of the building and began making their way up the wall.
"Mikasa, what's going on?" Armin asked as he made his way up to the roof top his friend was standing on, and looked over at the titan that had been killing the other titans.
"Oh my gosh, cannibalism?" Armin said as he watched the other titans eat the titan that had been on a rampage.
"Let's just leave it, there is no way that thing could be our ally! Once a titan, always a titan," Jean said, as he turned around, about to head off to the wall, but Armin stopped him.
"Look, it's the titan that killed Thomas!" he said, and they watched as the titan pushed out of the grasp of the other titans, and attacked the titan that had killed Thomas Wagner.
The titan sank its teeth into the other titan's neck and then slammed it against another one. After that, it had used up all of its energy, and collapsed.
"Guys, I think something is coming out of the nape…" Armin said, and Jean looked down at the fallen titan.
Emerging from the titan's nape, was Eren Jaeger. Mikasa gasped, left the roof tops, and ran over to Eren. Jean watched as she embraced him and placed her head on his chest, probably listening for Eren's heartbeat. When she began crying, he honestly didn't know if Eren was alive or dead, but decided that he would help Mikasa and Armin get Eren's body safely onto the roof. Once they hauled Eren's body onto the roof of headquarters, he watched as Armin and Mikasa huddled around their friend.
"I can't believe it…Eren did all of this?" Jean asked as he looked back at the decaying titan corpses.
