Ch. 15
My eyes widened as I witnessed the scene in front of me. Eren was now awake and it seemed that he finally knew what he was doing. He looked at the boulder and crouched down beside it. If I had to guess, he was going to have to use his legs and shoulders to carry that thing. There was no way it would be easy though.
As I said, he put the rock on his legs and rested the huge thing on his shoulder, right next to his head. He stood there for a moment before finally starting his journey to the giant hole in the wall. Mikasa and I just stood and stared at him as his feet shook the ground. I think every cadet was just shocked at the great display. I smiled brightly and whispered to myself.
"Eren…."
"Mikasa, Robina!"
I turned my head to the side to find Armin landing beside us. As soon as he stood up, I hugged him tightly and gave him a grin.
"Armin, you did it! You woke him up!"
I said. He just smiled and blushed at my hug. I released him and he scratched the back of his head.
"Well it's not over yet. But we're set. He's determined to see the mission through the end. As long as we got his back on the way to the wall, victory will be ours!"
He said. I looked to the elite commander, Ian. He seemed to be thinking about it but suddenly yelled his command.
"Defend him! I don't care if it takes the last man standing, defend him! I don't want a single Titan near him!"
On instinct, I immediately jumped off the roof and headed to Eren's sides. Mikasa and Armin stood there until Ian commanded them to follow me. I smirked as I saw the coming Titans. There were a bunch of them but we could take them. As long as we knew that Eren was going to complete the mission. I looked down to see some soldiers trying to distract a few Titans. Did they want to get themselves killed!? But they were just doing their job, I guess. The Titans began following them and they started running. I shook my head and gritted my teeth as I watched them from above. If they get cornered, their done for. Three Titans followed them and I managed to shoot one of the Titan's necks, killing him.
"Damn! Mikasa! Armin! I'm going to distract them as well."
I said as I landed on the ground. I turned around and looked into Eren's huge eyes. He stared down at me with a look that said, 'what are you doing?' I gave him a slight smile before I turned around to see five Titans walking at me. I put my swords and guns back into my gear and tightened my gloves. I was going to run and get them out of Eren's way. Then when I see fit, I'll kill them. But I can't kill them all before they reach Eren so this is what I'm going to do. Let's see what all that running training has done for me over the years.
"Alright you bastards! Come at me!"
I screamed as I sprinted past them. They turned around and began running after me. But I smirked as I was keeping a good distance between myself and them. Thank you, Dad. If I hadn't trained, I would've never been able to do this kind of thing without dying. I ran past a few more Titans and they followed me as well. Some cadets stared at me with shock, not because of what I was doing, but because how fast I was running. I looked behind me to see Mikasa and Armin killing Titans.
"Keep it up guys!"
I screamed in a quickened pace. My lungs started to burn and I knew that that wasn't good. But I couldn't just stop running; I had to keep going for Eren.
"Ahhh, fuck it!"
I yelled as I shot my gear into the buildings beside me and swung behind the group of Titans. I grinned as I cocked my two guns and tried out my new trick. I twirled in the air and shot at the same time, sending an army of bluets at them, each one hitting its target. The group fell like flies on top of each other in a pool of red blood. I landed on the ground and turned around as I heard Armin.
"Gooooooo!"
He screamed as Eren gave a loud roar and slammed the boulder in the hole. The ground, as well as the wall, cracked with his mighty force. I fell to my knees and laid my guns down to the ground. We did it. I don't believe it…but we did it….All of the souls that sacrificed themselves for this very moment didn't die for nothing. If they were here, all they would is smile. Smile because that's all I could do right now. My legs felt like jelly from running and my gut felt like I got punched but it was worth it. We protected wall rose and the Trost District.
"Armin!"
I yelled as I stood up slowly and jogged to him. He held me up as soon as I reached him.
"Th….Thank you…"
I said. He smiled and patted my back.
"Thanks for distracting all of those Titans, Robina. Are you alright?"
I nodded and stood up, breathing heavily. I wasn't invincible, you know.
"So…..What do we do now, Armin?"
I asked, my cheeks puffing. He gave me a serious look and turned to Eren's Titan form.
"We have to get Eren out of there. I'm going to cut him out,"
My eyes went wide.
"What!? You might hurt him! Isn't there another way!?"
He took my hand and we jumped to the top of Eren. We landed on his shoulder and gripped his body.
"I would say pulling him out should work but he just won't budge. Plus, he's hot as hell to the touch. Damn, he's fused with the carcass. I can't pull him free!"
I stood up and cursed loudly. Mikasa and Rico landed beside us and examined Eren.
"What's going on Armin?"
Mikasa asked him.
"I can't seem to free him from his binds."
He replied. Rico brought out one of her swords and pointed it at Eren.
"Then we cut."
She said as she swung her sword. I gasped and moved to stop her but I was too late. I turned to Eren to see that He was free, unharmed, and pulled into Armin's arm. Armin gasped as he fell backwards and hit the lower back of the Titan's body. They stood up and seemed to be okay, making me sigh in relief. Until I saw two giant Titans suddenly walk up to us. Where the hell did they come from!?
"Shit!"
I screamed as I reached for my two guns but out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a black figure. It came down like rain and slashed the two Titans at the same time. My eyes went wide as blood sprayed on my face. Gross….I wiped away the blood and looked to see who had killed them. My vision was blurry so I jumped down to Eren and Armin to get a better look. I squinted my eyes and saw the 'Scout Regiment' symbol on the back of his green cape. I gasped and then shook my head. I gritted my teeth and shouted at the figure.
"Levi, you asshole! That was my kill!"
He turned to me with the same glare and stared at me.
"You were too slow, Robina. Now listen up, kiddos. This is the part where you tell me exactly what it is I'm looking at."
I jumped in front of him and smiled.
"This is my friend Eren and he just so happens to have the ability of changing into a Titan."
His eyes went wide but then quickly went back to his usual gaze.
"Well whatever he is, now's not the time. I'll question you all later but now we all have to get to safety as soon as possible. Robina, I'll need you to help me with this."
I nodded and turned to Eren and the others.
"They did their job, now is the time for them to rest. I'll try to escort them to the base and meet you back here ASAP."
I said to him.
"Sounds good."
He said. I shook my head and smiled with my head down. I couldn't believe that I would see Levi again. He came by a couple of weeks to help me training and we seemed to compete with each other on every turn. I admit, I had a little crush on him for a few days, but then quickly realized that I was like five years younger than him, hehe. After that, he would just piss me off and we would compete even more. But he was a friend, nonetheless. I looked toward my comrades and helped Armin pick up Eren.
"Come on, guys. Let's go."
I said. Mikasa put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a confused look.
"We have to take him to Commander Erwin Smith. He's the only person that will guarantee Eren's safety for the next couple of days."
I said still walking. She stopped me again and stared at me."
"Why didn't you tell us you had all of these connections?"
I gave her a slight smile and winked.
"I'm a commanding officer, aren't I?"
And with that, we took Eren to the compound and let Rico handle the rest. She probably knew what to do, considering she was my grandpa's right hand man. While they did that, I ran back to help Levi destroy the rest of the Titans. With the two of us, they were no match. If I had to compare, I would say that we were the two best killing machines that ever lived…For our age, I mean. The rest of the soldiers shot cannon fire at the Titans trying to climb the wall so they were no problem.
"Alright, that should be all for now."
Levi suddenly told me. I stood up straight and stretched.
"Just like old times, huh?"
I said. He gave me a small smirk and leaned on one leg.
"Yeah but I don't remember having Titans in the mix."
I waved my hand in the air and walked past him.
"They didn't change anything, hehe."
I swore I heard a small chuckle escape his lips before he shot his gear lines and swung away. I flipped my hair and continued to walk, the smelly air filling my nose. I looked around to see the CDC starting to pile up in the streets. One woman gave me a white mask and I accepted it gladly. I dug in my pockets and snatched a new pair of gloves for me to wear, in case I had to touch something dead or wounded. I walked through the streets with my hands in front of me and a disgusted expression on my face. People were carrying dead bodies everywhere and the sight made my stomach weak. I turned to my right to see a head of brown and instantly recognized the face. Jean. I ran to him and was about to greet him until I saw what he was staring at. My eyes went wide as they began to tear up.
"M-Marco….."
He turned to me and shook his head slowly.
"I…..I don't even know what happened…what could've….."
He was stuttering and I just waited patiently for his sentence. A white-haired woman from the CDC patrol walked to us and tapped her clipboard.
"What was his name?"
Jean's eyes remained wide as he stared at her. I had never seen Jean like this. He was usually the loud mouth sweet guy I knew but now he just looked….scared…He began to walk away from her and the woman spoke again.
"I need his name. Please, sir. It's been far too long since we plugged in the hole in the wall. If we don't do something fast with these poor souls, an epidemic is likely to happen. We're the first line of defense against secondary disaster. We'll mourn the fallen as soon as we have done our jobs. Is that understood?"
Jean turned to the tattered body of Marco.
"He was a member of the 104th cadet core, captain of squad 19, Marco Bott."
My eyes softened as I felt sorry for Jean. Marco was probably his best friend, next to me. He must be feeling like I did with Eren. The woman wrote the name on her clipboard and looked back at us, her glasses reflecting some of the sun's light.
"Bott, dearly noted then. I appreciate it, cadet, continue."
She said. And with that, she left. Jean looked like he was about to cry but I knew he wouldn't he was too proud. I walked up to him and touched his face. He looked at me with water in his eyes and a frown lined up in his lips. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and gave him a soft gentle hug. He slowly hugged me back and gripped me tightly.
I released myself from him and looked into his brown eyes.
"I'm…..I'm so sorry, Jean."
I said. I leaned up to his face and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Hopefully, it would make him feel better. He sighed to my touch and looked down at the ground.
"Thank you, Robina….,"
Was all he said. I nodded and walked away slowly. Everywhere I went, I had to solve a problem. I couldn't solve them all but I would certainly try, damn it. What was my next priority?
Eren's safety.
And that is the end of the chapter. This chapter actually took me like three to four hours to write lol. And I didn't take a break either! It took me so long because Halloween is on and I love that movie so I'm watching it! Lol. And besides, Halloween is coming this Friday so why not, huh? Anyways, I beg you to review the chapter! I don't write the story for nothing! :D And finally, I hope you liked the chapter! I know this was kind of a slow chapter with the action and all but it's going by the anime and that's what it's going to be about. Personally, I didn't like that boulder scene but now that were in the next part of the anime, the romance will be kicked up a notch! Until next time, thanks for reading! Tune in for the next chapter!
