Ameko: We're FINALLY back!
Mizu: First let us welcome our guest for today! Please welcome the newest member of the 'Did Nothing Wrong Squad'!
Ameko: Come on down!
Ganta: Wait... are we still in Deadman Wonderland?
Mizu: We're actully in a temporal rift between almost every fictional universe in the universe, by using the energy spawned from the reviewers (and my nuclear energy converter) I am able to hold door between the universes up at will! I've pinpointed the exact location of the rift to this basement and instantly hid it from the world, barricading myself inside it and whenever I get bored in here I just open a door and BOOM! I'm in a new anime to write fanfiction!
Ganta: ...
Ganta: What?
Ameko/Mizu; Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey stuff...

Mizu: How did you get in here!? (And why do you look like an older version of Yuki from my other story...?)
Shiro: *points to the locked door, now shambles and pieces of wood* Shiro broke it down!
Mizu: Shiro! That was a secure gateway between the different dimensions! I don't even know what will happen now!
Shiro: But.. But Shiro missed Ganta... *teary eyes*
Mizu: Oh God you're cute... I can't stay mad at that face!
Ameko: Ok Ganta, it's really easy, just say REVIEWS! and then you'll almost be able to leave

I zipped through the air with my squad close at the heels, taking down a 13 meter titan on my way to the other squads. When I saw a clustered group of people on a section of rooftops my hope soared. I wasted no time in landing on the roof, instantly making my way over to the center of the red bricks, scanning the crowd for Armin and Eren.
I growled, my hope manifesting itself into a sinking feeling of fear, looking around till I spotted a familiar cut of tan and brown hair.
"Jean!" I called to get his attention. He turned to look at me with a look of bittersweet depression.
"Mizuki... You're alive?" His voice was low and pitiful, not even sparked with any form of happiness at seeing another person who had not been eaten.
I scanned the thin crowd once more. "Where's Eren and Armin?" I asked hastily. Before Jean could answer I heard the ingrained sound of wires fastening and releasing, I spun around to see Mikasa walking towards Annie, not noticing my presence.
I couldn't hear what she was saying so I quickly jogged over to my dark haired step-sister. "Mikasa!" I hailed.
She sighed in relief at seeing me still alive, the thought that she cared for me was a burden off my shoulder by itself. I didn't know the context of the question but I realized what was being said instantly.
Annie directed her gaze over to the tower, "Some squads made it back, some didn't..."
"We found Armin over there" Reiner nodded his head in the direction of the crouching blonde. Without even nodding my thanks, Mikasa and I both approached Armin at the same time.
"You okay? You're not hurt, are you?" Mikasa asked gently.
I practically had fire fueled by fear burning through my veins. "Armin, where's Eren?" I demanded.
He grit his teeth as if it was paining him to answer.
'No...'
I shakily stood up, assuming the worst. "A-Armin?"
He snapped up to look at Mikasa and I, tears streaming down his cheeks.
'Not him...'
"T-They were..." He clenched his fists as his tears fell on the dark red of the brick. "The cadets... of squad 34... Thomas Vodner, Mack Tierz, Fillius Herbenski, Nina Carolina, Eren Jaeger!"
'Armin... Stop talking...'
"These brave five... Upheld their duties. They... Died heroically in the field of battle" Armin coughed.
'You're lying... You're lying... You're wrong... Eren isn't...' I caught my own thoughts, biting the inside of my cheek till I tasted blood.
I tried to say something to console him, but all I felt was rage. I was angry at the titans, angry at our superiors, and blindingly furious at Armin. Wasn't this what it was following? The five stages of grief? First is rage.. then- wait... was anger first? Then came depression... the memories of faded class lessons from years ago appeared in my mind to settle my thoughts, to keep my emotions from showing, and to try and keep myself from going overboard. After all, it wasn't Armin's fault... I couldn't be... But still... I felt I needed to blame someone... anyone... cut their throat open and rip out their windpipe.
My mouth wouldn't move, I couldn't speak, but I could internalize my anger fading away to a dull aching groan. My family.. The only family I had left... was gone.
I was vaguely aware of Mikasa talking but I could only catch a few words along the lines of 'Out of gas' 'I'm stronger than all of you' and 'I'm going' That last one was followed by the sound of Mikasa gliding away on the manuver gear.
My heart was cold and I could feel tears brimming in my eyes but I stayed silent, listening to what Jean was commanding. "HEY! WE WEREN'T TAUGHT TO LET OUR COMRADES FIGHT ALONE! UNLESS YOU ARE A COWARD THEN STAY OUT OF MY WAY!" He declared before following after Mikasa. Eventually all the other soldiers took off with him, their confidence regained. Without the will to even brush away the tears from my eyes I flew into the sky once again.
My vision was clears as the wind yanked the salty tears from my sclera but that barely helped. I could almost not even change my direction with the powerful grapples.
I felt my body crash into the upcoming roof, sliding down slowly. Of course I felt the pain, the feeling of my body greeting the surface of the roof and the roaring fire of my muscles being stretched like a rubber band but oddly enough I didn't scream.
A moment later I was in the air again, but this time I was being pulled by gravity down to the ground. The pain of landing on the hard ground was almost nonexistent, my mind become foggy and detached from my other senses.
'My family... The one I was fighting for... Is gone... First Mom... But now Eren's-!'
I heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming my way and I thought back to all of the great memories I shared with Eren. One in particular stuck in my mind. I tiredly gazed up at the titan with strange curiosity. It was easily a 15 meter class, with shaggy dark brown hair hanging over it's eyes and supported by hardened muscles. Muscles? I thought titan's didn't have muscles... Maybe it's just an abnormal. Even with the titan drawing closer I could only think about that one moment...
I smiled, gripping the edges of the letter from Levi, Farlan and Isabel.
Dear Mizuki,
(This is Isabel) Hey Mizuki! I hope this gets to you on time but if it doesn't I just wanna wish you a happy birthday! Things down here are going alright, Levi managed to talk Commander Eyebrows into letting Farlan and I join Levi-bro's new squad! Eld, Gunther, Petra, and Oluo are here too! they don't seem to trust us that much but you should have seen their faces when Levi-bro took down two titans at the same time! I swear they look so funny! (This Is Levi) Mizuki, we got your last letter and you're right, It wouldn't be a good idea for you to spill any more of your past. If they only know that you were a part of the underground then you're probably safe. But if you screw up and say that you were a part of the 3DMG bandits then word might get to the MPs. Stay under the radar and lie. Oh yeah, there's also this really annoying squad leader I have to work with over here, Shitty Glasses, you'll be able to tell which one she is when you get here. Just say 'titan' and she'll come running up to you spouting a ton of bullshit. (This Is Farlan) Mizuki, I really hope that you're learning loads, remember to practice that kick I showed you the week before we left the underground. Sorry, Can't say any more. Levi is making me clean the room we all share. (This is Levi) Listen, that goes for all of us. If I'm going to be forced into this job by Erwin, or Commander Eyebrows as Isabel insists, then I won't let this place look like shit. We'll send you another letter next week. Happy Birthday Mizuki.
-Levi Ackerman
Grinning, I folded the letter in half and stored it away in the tear of my matres I hid my letters in. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard someone at the door.
"Another letter from your friends?" Eren asked, his green eyes inquisitive.
I panted, staring at my little brother wildly. "Shit Eren! Ever heard of knocking!?" I gasped.
He diverted my gaze, scratching his head awkwardly. "Sorry..."
I sighed, pulling the letter out of it's hiding place to hand it to him. "Yeah... Apparently Levi convinced Erwin to let Isabel and Farlan join his new squad" I reported while Eren scanned the letter.
"It looks like they really miss you" Eren commented. I smiled lightly in thought of their grinning faces (Not Levi of course).
"It's good to know you had your own little family down there while we weren't there" I blinked in confusion. Family?
I looked back at my brother fro the top of the bunk bed I shared with Mikasa. "Family?" I echoed my thoughts"
"Yeah, I mean... You do talk about them like family. I even heard you mentioning that Isabel is like me" I pondered his words carefully.
"I guess you're right. They're kind of like my second family" I declared happily.
"So that mean you gotta keep living on for both of your families, right?" He questioned.
I nodded. "Right"
"Right..." I muttered, sensing the towering footsteps drawing closer.
Before I knew it the titan was charging. Eren told me to live on for my families. Eren's dead... But I won't just throw my life away! There are still people who need me! Armin, Mikasa, Levi, Isabel, Farlan... My family needed me!
Just as I dived out of the way from the ripped titan it brought it's fist up and planted it squarely into a titan I hadn't noticed. It punched a titan...
A titan had punched another titan!?
The second titan's head lagged to the right, cracking in half. Despite this I knew that it would head in a moment even if that abnormal had just snapped his neck. But that was when the abnormal punched the titan to the ground, stomping on it's nape until it's foot became nothing but a smeary, red, steaming limb. It let out a roar that nearly split my ear drums as I felt the life return to my veins.
Eren... I swear I'll keep on living. For my family... For my friends.. and for you...
-End of Chapter 18-
