Maka: So there's where you are huh?

Soul: Uhh... yeah..

Mizu: Alright you two kids listen up...

Mizu: I'M OUT OF TIME! GOTTA START THE CHAPTER NOW! BYE!

Soul: WAIT NO-

"I'll do it. I don't know if I can seal that hole but... I'll do it!" Eren declared.

With almost no hesitation Pixis patted Eren's shoulder's. "Well said, you have the heart of a lion"

As we were getting over Eren's proclamation Pixis walked over to the edge of the wall and shouted. "Staff officers fall in! We've got a plan to flesh out!"

"Uh? Wait we... We're not actually going to be moving forward with this as our lynch pin strategy? It was just something I tossed out there" Armin protested.

Eren spoke up from behind us. "I was thinking the same thing except... he seems like a guy who knows what he's doing. Has it all under control. Like we can't see through the trees but he has a bird's eye view"

"You think so?" Armin chirped.

My little brother nodded. "I do. Either way though we have a whole 'nother problem to address before we get your plan off the ground and my gut tells me that the commander is keenly aware of it"

The intelligent blonde blinked. "Which would be?"

"The people down there might be as big of a problem as the titans themselves" I interjected grimly.

"Look sharp soldiers" Pixis said from behind us.

We stood up and faced the commander. "The fate of humanity rests on your shoulders"

"Hey Mizuki?" Armin called from my side as we sat on spare boxes on top of the looming wall.

I turned to look at him, my purple eyes connecting with his icy blue. "Yeah?"

"Do... Do you really think this is gonna work?" I sighed, looking out into the blue sky that was glazed with the orange of dusk.

"To be honest, I have no idea. All I can say is that we're gonna make it work" I vowed.

Mikasa looked down sadly. "But if it does go wrong I think we should just grab Eren and get out of there"

I lightly shoved her. "Don't say that. I'll die to make sure you guys are safe so don't worry about it. Okay?"

Both Armin and Mikasa glared at me. "What?" I asked.

"You're doing it again" My step-sister commented.

"Doing what again?"

Armin sighed. "You think that we're your responsibility but we're not. We all rely on each other okay? Don't think that it's your job to protect us"

"But I-" Mikasa cut me off.

"No Mizuki. We protect you. You protect us. That's how it always goes. Don't try to change that alright?"

Admitting defeat, I groaned in agreement.

Mikasa gave me a small smile and pulled me into a hug. "That's my girl..."

"I'm older than you!"

"What do you mean we don't actually need to fight them?" The commander next to me questioned.

While the commander was giving orders to the soldiers below, Armin, Mikasa and I were all standing around the two majors, expert strategists of the garrison regiment, trying to figure out a solid plan.

Armin pointed down at the map laid on the stone table. "It's just that there's an easier way. Sorry, I know it's not my place to interrupt, I mean no disrespect-"

"It's fine. Just go on with what you were saying" The taller of the captains addressed.

Breathing out a puff of tense air, Armin spoke. "Right... thank you sir" And turned back to the map. "See, whatever else is going on around them, titans are usually drawn to large groups of people. If enough of us collected in the breach we could lure them away from Eren's path. He could be discreet while moving the boulder. He also won't have to slow his pace while we fight the others off of him. And since the titans will all be in one area we can pick them off via canon fire without incurring casualties of our own"

"Now I'm not suggesting we leave Eren defenseless, that'd be too risky, we'll need a modest band of elites to act as his bodyguards. There's no way of knowing how many titans will come through the hole as Eren is about to plug the breach so his security detail will need to be able to handle them"

The captain nodded approvingly. "Easy enough I think. We'll work the plan around that"

"The thing is, we're making many huge assumptions here, mainly that Eren, even in full titan mode, will be able to lift the rock at all. I mean... to be perfectly honest, there's very little reason to suppose he can"

I leaned on the table. "Oh no. He'll lift it"

"How can you be sure?" The female captain asked.

I turned my head over to my brother on the far side of the wall. "Because my brother has a habit of exceeding his limits due to pure stupidity and stubbornness"

Armin lightly chuckled, scratching his cheek awkwardly. "Still... I have my doubts..."

"As do I, but I'll have to agree with the commander on this one. titans are still pouring into Trost through that hole. There already may be more Titans than we can handle, frankly. Still, the longer we wait the lower our chance of success becomes" The brown-haired woman suggested. "And there's something else too..." We all turned to look at the level-headed soldier. "Even the bravest of us can bottle our fear, but not before something gives"
