Mizu: SUUUP WE'RE HERE!

Ameko: Finally...

Mizu: And now I think I've finally patched up that horrible dimension thing-

*BOOOOMMM!* *CRRAAAASSSHHH!*

Mizu: Oh fuck me...

Ameko: I wonder who is it this time!?

Mizuki: Uhh... Where the hell are we?

Yuki: I don't know... some kind of basement?

Amaya: Weren't we just at the warehouse?

Mizu: ...

Ameko: ...

Mizu: just... just get to the reviews...

MickeyLOLgirl: Okay I've learned my lesson alright! T_T

lizy2000: No problem! Yesss I'ts going to be a hilarious reaction! Funny with tears!

Thaiboy: Yeeeahhhh I'm sorry for all of you who liked my Code Geass story but I was really disappointed with it. The main OC was boring and was too powerful, I straight up ripped characters from other shows, and the grammar issues were terrible. That's why I'll be talking more about a new Code Geass fic below at the end! :D I hope you like it Thai!

Mizuki: Soooo who are you?

Mizu: I'm the one who created you three!

Yuki: And her?

Ameko: Meh, just here for fun. Sometimes I take up the role of the persuading voice inside your head

Mizuki: OK

Mizu: Well if that's all you three are here for then get going! It's not time for your sequel yet! *starts shoving towards door*

Amaya: *looks at the television* HOLY SHIT AOT SEASON 2!

Mizu: *shoves* There we go...

The rogue titan got a hold on a lanky, taller titan's shoulder blade with his arm and snapped it in half, sending it crashing onto the smaller ones below.

"Look at him go.. This guy makes the others looks like total weaklings" Connie commended optimistically.

I blinked. "At least for now we're relatively barricaded in here"

"Mizuki's right. They won't bust in while he's making a rampage out there" The soldier continued.

Reiner sighed. "That's all well and good but what's to stop them from turning on us when he's done?"

"I... guess we can worry about that when we're safe" Connie muttered.

"Yeah, you're right. At least we're buying him a little time-" Just as Reiner was done talking Jean walked in.

Jean was followed behind with a few other guys I've never seen before. "Good news!" Those boxes they were carrying had a large row of rifles worn by age. "Courtesy of the Military Police... and covered with a layer of dust"

We handed out the guns to the soldiers and loaded them suspiciously. "Are you sure buckshot is the way to go? It feels like we should just be throwing spitballs... I mean, come on guys. Are guns even effective?"

Armin hovered of the map of the building, his brilliant mind working profusely to formulate a perfect strategy. "I don't know but they're bound to be better than nothing" Armin said, looking at the hot headed trainee.

"We're looking at eight titans in the supply room of the four meter tall variety. If we can all time this perfectly then this much ammo ought to be enough to do the trick" Armin began listing off his plan.

As he spoke I could visualize the plan he said in a clear format. "Step one, we lower a group into the area via lift to get the titan's attention. Step two, When the titans come within range the group fires in all four directions simultaneously blinding them"

Armin flinched. "Then there's the hard part. The moment of truth as it were. Before the titans have time to recover, seven of us will swoop down from the ceiling and strike their vital regions. That's it. That's the plan. It puts all our lives on the line, if we screw up we're dead. That's a hell of a risk for one attack but it's our only chance. Eight people have to slay eight titans in one blow at the same time. We're gonna need the best of you, the soldiers most adept at using their paring blades. You'll be the difference between life and death for the rest of us. I'm sorry... That's how it is" Armin stated sadly.

"Seems like a sound plan" Reiner affirmed.

Annie spoke. "When you get right down to it the risk is the same for everyone. Doesn't really matter who goes and who doesn't"

"Look I'm... I'm willing to be talked out of this. One half-baked strategy can't be our only option... right?"

Marco, who had been silently leaning in on the conversation for a while, comforted Armin. "Hey don't be so hard on yourself. What we're looking at for our only option this seems pretty well thought out. If we give it our all we may just pull this off"

I leaned over and took Armin's hand. "Don't worry Armin. We'll be fine. It's clear here that you're the epic brains of the group so don't waste time thinking it won't work"

With an unsteady nod of his head the lift doors were let down with a crash. "All right! The lift's ready to go!" A nameless soldier echoed.

I joined with the group of titan killers and watched as a few faces I knew joined the risky firing squad. Armin, Marco, Jensen, Luu, and so many others. Seeing them in the squad only furthered my determination to succeed. If I didn't... then they would all die.

The titan killing squad all walked down the creaking wooden stairs, chatting nervously as we walked.

"Okay so I'm gonna ask the obvious question. Can we do this without 3DM gear?" Connie asked as we stepped down the walkway.

Reiner smirked cockily. "No problem. These guys are only four meters tall, their weak spots aren't even too high above eye level. Size won't be an issue"

Sasha grinned. "Back of the head to the nape of the neck!"

"Worst comes to worse you can always just shove one of these up their ass. That's their other weak spot" Reiner held up one of his paring blades in the light.

Despite the tense atmosphere I still laughed at Reiner's dumb jokes.

"Are you... serious?" I rolled my eyes at Connie.

"Yes Connie! He is! We've been overlooking the greatest weak spot of all titans!" I spread my arms out sarcastically.

Sasha blinked. "Did I miss a day of training or something?"

"Come on, knock it off Reiner" Jean ordered. "Do you want your final words to be an ass joke?"

I subconsciously held my breath as I was perched on the rafters of the roof like an owl fixing it's gaze on the small titans below. I gulped in fear as I saw Luu's slightly shaking hands. With another step I could hear someone whimpering from within the ranks of armed soldiers. It was only until the titan's eye was literally a foot away from the gun did Marco give the order.

"FIRE!" With Marco's loud noise many fired at being spooked by his loud voice in a previously quiet room.

The moment I saw a thin cloud of smoke dust the area I leaped into a sprint along with the rest of my group. Bringing my blades above my head I jumped from the rafters down to my designated titan. I felt the now familiar tingle of having my sharp swords cut through flesh with a satisfying spray of blood. Some of the red liquid dusted my clothes but evaporated soon enough.

"Got it! How are you guys!" Mikasa shouted over the sound of collapsing titans.

I jumped out of the way from the falling giant. "I'm good!"

"Sasha and Connie missed!" Berthold cried.

Gritting my teeth I looked to see Mikasa sprinting towards the titan Annie failed to kill while Sasha tried to scream she was sorry in futility. Sasha dived out of the way just as the titan collapsed into a dive for her flesh. Mikasa dashed on the beast, slicing it's nape while Annie took care of the other one.

Sasha had tears streaming down her face as she clutched Mikasa on her knees. "Mikasa! You saved my life!"

"Can you stand?" Mikasa said impassively.

"Y-Yes..." She stuttered.

The stoic elite wore no emotion but I could tell she was happy Sasha was ok. "Then get up, we have to get moving"

Jean was ecstatic. "They're all dead! Start loading up the supplies!"

With a sense of safety I ran to Armin's side, pulling him into a ginormous hug. "Thank you, you beautiful blonde genius!"

I blocked the rest of the sun with my hand as I made out the sight of Mikasa on top of a high building. Mikasa?

Firing my 3DMG I zoomed up to meet her. Just as I landed I saw Armin had too.

"What are you doing? We need to leave now!"

She had a glassy, concerned look in her eyes. "Look down there..."

I gazed down at the street in horror. In a tangled mess of Titans I could make out the muscled, pale skin of the rogue titan being cannibalized. The body could barely regenerate to keep up with the attack on titans devouring the flesh.

"Cannibalism?" Armin echoed.

Mikasa looked down. "I know this sounds stupid but I was hoping he'd be the key for us. That he's help mankind break the cycle, turn the tide just long enough to give us a little ray of hope.

"She's right" I turned around to see the remains of my squad, Annie, Reiner, Berthold, Jensen, and Luu all standing on the roof with Jean. "He's too valuable to just let die. I think it's perfectly clear that our priority is to ward the scavengers off. He's no good to us picked apart"

"Are you out of your mind!?" Jean cried. "We've got a path out of this nightmare and you want to stay!?"

Annie blinked impassively. "Think about it. Having an abnormal as an ally would be an incredible advantage right? A cannon's got nothing on a titan who likes to rip apart his own kind"

"You... do you hear yourself? He's not like a new brand!" Jean countered, horrified at the thought of saving the titan.

Armin gasped. "No!" He looked toward another tall, skinny titan walking to the rogue. "It's the one that ate Thomas!"

As if in a flurry of animalistic rage and fury the rogue let out an ear-splitting scream, practically ignoring the titans eating him alive and gunning straight for the murderous abnormal. His emerald green orbs glowing, the titan flung the titan biting it's left and right arms off, losing both limbs in the process and leaping to sink it's teeth into the titan's nape.

My jaw dropped in shock as the titan hoisted the corpse into the air with it's teeth, it's eyes flicking toward the group of dazed scavengers before using the massive body as a weapon, flinging a 15 meter titan clear into a building.

"Holy..." Jean muttered.

Strength seemed to dispensed from the rogue titan as he dropped the corpse, shrieking once more before collapsing on the ground.

"What was that you were saying? Because I think it's a moot point now... Enough of this. Let's leave while we can" Jean asserted.

However, I didn't pay attention to the self-appointed leader. I didn't pay attention to anything but the steam that evaporated from the titan's body. Because standing there in the smoke, right below the nape of the neck in a muddled head of blood, flesh, and gore...

Was Eren.

Without breathing I zipped past everyone I saw, not caring about anything else but the body I see in the haze. Landing on the cobbled streets I sprinted to the body as fast as I could with Mikasa on my heels. I reached Eren first, grabbing his body and carefully setting it down on the remains of the rogue titan.

Immediately after I pressed my head to his heart, desperately searching for a heartbeat.

Bum bum... bum bum... bum bum...

Tears sprung to my eyes and instantly started running down my face in silence.

"IS HE ALIVE!?" Mikasa all but screamed at the top of her lungs. Clutching my mouth with my hand I nodded shakily. Mikasa and I sobbed uncontrollably for no reason whatsoever. I gripped Eren in a hug that nearly cut off circulation, sobbing into his shirt while Mikasa did the same, and in our tangled hug I could only make out one thought. It wasn't confusion about Eren coming from the body of a titan, it wasn't happiness that our mission was finally over, and it wasn't even an emotion I could describe, because it was a jumbled heap of sadness, relief, joy, anger, and heart-break.

Eren was alive.
