Chapter 13 Sneak Attack

Onyankopon rushes to the cell where Armin and the others are located. Sasha asks, "Onyankopon, what's going on outside?!"

"Marley came flying in on airships. There are about 500 soldiers plus the Armored, Jaw, and Cart." Onyankopon says. "It is just as the King predicted. But right now they are also having trouble!"

Sasha nods and says, "Alright." Then she takes out the keys and opens the lock to the cell. Sasha says, "Eren knew that this is going to happen. So please help us, we've gotta protect the King."

Just then, Connie grabs Onyankopon's shirt and yells, "Are you shitting me?! What is this about "we"?! This is your fight! Why should we listen to you?"

Sasha grabs Connie and says, "Let go of him. All the Anti-Marley Volunteers except for Yelena are on our side! They have to act so that Yelena wouldn't try to blow their heads off!"

Connie ignores Sasha and says, "You were just pretending to be nice to us while plotting to take over Paradis with your wine! I'm fed up with getting betrayed all the time! By Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, Eren, even you Sasha! I'm sick of it, Damn it!"

"If anything, you are the ones who betrayed us!" Sasha yells into his ear. "Eren used the power of the Founder to bring your mother back to normal, and you were the ones who betrayed him by wanting to feed him to the uprising military who do nothing but want the power for themselves and surrender to other nations to save their own asses!"

She helps Onyankopon up and says, "Besides, the wine, the euthanization plan... The Volunteers are against it as well! Eren is also against it! Nicolo told us that Yelena asked them to keep quiet about the wine, and Onyankopon and the others didn't want Eldians to get euthanized! We promised that we would work together in the future, that's why they all decided to help Eren and us Yeagerists!"

Armin says, "Eren did tell us about everything, but how do you want us to help? Didn't Eren have the power of the Founder already?"

"The Founder can only control the Subjects of Ymir, but they can't control those who are not Eldians!" Onyankopon says. "If he was shot while he was trying to control the Titans, we can't protect the island! Eldia can't lose his king!"

Sasha says, "If you don't want to come, then that's fine. However, Eren only wants Armin to come. So, what's your response, Armin?"

"I'm going." Armin says, "I have more questions that I need to ask Eren."

"Then we'll come too." Jean says, "I've been saying Eren's dangerous since we were Cadets. That he's a shithead who would lead us into hell. Still, I always envied that asshole for being so cool. And it pisses me off to say it, but I don't want him to die just yet."

"Yeah. If he dies like this, I can't slug him in the face!" Connie says.

"Then let's go." Onyankopon says as they all rush upstairs.

Back on the battlefield, Louise, Gloria, Peter, and Odom are also hiding behind a building. Peter says, "Damn it... our soldiers are continued to be killed..."

"Where is the King located right now?" Gloria asks.

"The Female Titan is not in sight, I have to guess that he is just like us, hiding because of injuries. I only hope that Marley would send in the full Eldian soldiers instead of a lot of Marleyan soldiers..."

And in another building, Eren says, "Damn it... guess I'll have to do this."

"But if you transform right now your energy..." Aya says.

"If we don't fight, we'll die right now!" Eren yells as he jumps out and bites his hand, transforming into a Titan. It creates a lot of spikes and both of them manage to stab into Reiner and Galliard.

"Damn it... Eren transformed!" Odom says. "He won't have that much energy..."

"Why struggle? What are you fighting for?" Reiner asks.

Galliard manages to break free from the spike and charges at Eren, but Eren already hardens his fists and punches Galliard, slamming him to the ground.

"Shit. I took a heavy hit..." Galliard mutters.

Reiner pushes Eren to the ground, and says, "Eren, I just want this to end. Why did I ever think we were the same? Enough already!"

But much to his surprise, he finds that Eren is not on the ground. Eren is behind him when he gives him a heavy punch, causing him to fall to the ground.

"The Founder finally shows himself!" Magath says as he tries to aim at Eren, but just before he can fire, something throws at the bullet and causes it to crash to the ground.

"What the..." Everyone is surprised, as they turn to see Zeke, who is standing on top of the wall.

"There he is." Magath mutters. "The wonderboy."

"I'm a little late, but I made it to where we promised to meet." Zeke says. "Good job hanging in there, Eren. Leave the rest to your big brother."

Then he throws the boulders at the airships, causing them to fall to the ground and explode. Magath says, "Damn it. Zeke... I'll blast his nape! Line me up!"

"Roger." Pieck is trying to aim at Zeke, but Zeke throws the boulder first and causes it to quickly jump out of the way, but Pieck is now hanging on the other side of the wall.

"Duking it isn't wise!" Pieck says.

"I'll punish the traitor myself!" Magath says.

"But..." At the same time, Floch and the other soldiers are approaching and Floch yells, "Flank the Cart!"

"Right!" The soldiers yell, and the Beast Titan continues to aim at the soldiers while throwing the rocks.

"Never thought I am happy to have him here." Eren mutters while turning towards Reiner. "Now what do I do with you?"

"Eren!" Mikasa and Aya also come out of hiding and Aya also bite her hand, transforming into the Female Titan. Mikasa asks, "Eren, now what?"

Eren comes out of the Titan's nape and says, "We are going to lure Galliard and Reiner to where Zeke and the others are located. Once we're close, we can finally activate the Rumbling."

Then they start to run towards Zeke, and Gabi says, "Oh no! They're heading towards where Zeke is located!"

"Leave the Titans to the Titans. We've got battles of our own!" Colt says. "While I'm rescuing Falco, make your way south to the escaping airship!"

"No, I'm going too! I dragged Falco into this, but he saved me time after time! Me - who's supposed to be at the top of our class. I'm not gonna run off on my own!"

At the same time, Armin and the others manage to free the Garrison and the Military Police from the prison, and they are also going to fend off the Marley attack.

Eren and Aya are rushing toward Zeke, while at the same time, Armin and the others arrive and notice what's going on.

"Wait, is that the Female Titan?" Armin asks in shock after seeing Aya. Sasha says, "Yes, Eren manages to extract the Titan power from Annie and give it to the true royal family of the female Titan: Aya Neumann."

"You mean the Hizuru Eldian?" Jean asks. "Why are they rushing towards Zeke?"

"They are luring Reiner and the Jaw Titan as close to the wall as possible." Sasha says.

Eren and Aya turn to see Reiner and Galliard who are struggling to chase after the two Titans. Connie says, "Um... I think Reiner's the one who needs help."

"But why is Zeke here? There's no way Captain Levi would let him go free!" Jean says.

"Of course not, Zeke almost manages to kill Captain Levi if Commander Hange didn't drag his wounded body and escaped by jumping into the river." Sasha says. "You'll be able to see them soon."

"Zeke promised to meet Eren at a certain time and place." Yelena says.

"We don't have much choice! We need to chase after Eren as well!"

Armin and the others are rushing toward Eren's location, and Eren and Aya are also trying to fight Reiner and Galliard, who manage to grab their legs. But thanks to their Petrified Blink and Time manipulation, they manage to escape.

"Mikasa!" At the same time, Louise, Peter, Gloria, and Odom also arrive, and Mikasa asks, "How many people are still surviving?"

"Not that many left." Gloria says, "The weapons killed a lot of our soldiers."

Eren comes out of the Titan nape and says, "Damn it. Aya, I'll rest on your shoulder if you don't mind."

"No problem." Aya says as Eren comes out of his Titan completely while standing beside Mikasa. "I have to restore my energy for a while..."

Zeke notices Eren and says, "Eren, we're almost there. So close to fulfilling our dream."

But at the same time, Floch and the others are handling the Cart Titan, seeing the bones, Floch asks, "We finally caught up to you guys. Who took her out?"

"Huh wasn't you guys?" Just then, it turns out that Pieck is already out of her Titan, and Magath is having a sneak attack while he manages to shoot Zeke from the back.

"Oh no!" Eren gasps as they watch how Zeke falls to the ground. Pieck asks, " You got him?"

"The angle's no good! Move us!" Magath says.

At the same time, Galliard is still on the ground after what Aya did, and Reiner mutters, "So that's your plan, Eren? Just stop already! The one person who shouldn't have that power... Eren... are you!"

While Floch and the others are fighting against Magath and the others, Magath yells, "Hurry up! If he's got even an ounce of life left... he'll scream!"

Galliard manages to bite on Aya's leg, and Eren and Mikasa are about to fall. Eren says, "Gloria, give me a Thunder Spear!"

Gloria nods as she gives Eren the weapon, and Eren throws it on Galliard, hitting him, and at the same time, Aya also hardens her fist and punches at the Titan, but her fist is also shot.

"Don't let them shoot!" Floch yells while they're trying to attack the Cart Titan, but it manages to knock some soldiers out.

"The Cart Titan! We've gotta deal with her first!" Armin says.

Eren notices the Garrison, the Military Police, and the Scouts are approaching, he says, "So they're here..."

"Armin and the others?" Mikasa asks, "But why?"

"We can worry about it later." Eren says. Then he uses the Founding Titan to speak with Zeke. "Zeke, you've done enough. Now let me handle this. I'll summon the Titans."

Then he jumps down to the ground and says, "Mikasa, everyone, be prepared, I'm going to scream in Zeke's place."

This causes everyone to nod as Eren jumps to the ground, he is about to scream before he hears a voice, "Wait!"

They turn to see that Colt is the one who stops him. He has Falco by his side. "Falco got some spinal fluid in his mouth! Please don't scream!"

Eren flinches a little and he thinks, "Why now..."

"What... was that?" Reiner asks.

"Eren Yeager, right? My uncle is an Eldian Restorationist, and because of it, my family was in danger, I'm inheriting the Beast to keep my family from suffering the same fate! If you're similar to Zeke, I don't think you're someone who'd drag kids into this! I'm not saying you should just lie down and die! But wait until Falco's out of range of your scream! After that, do the Rumbling, kill as many Eldians as you want! Just don't drag my brother in this!"

Eren closes his eyes and says, "You're Falco's brother, right? I owe Falco a lot, and I'm doing this for Eldians on the island who have suffered because of the world."

Then Eren starts to let out a scream, and just then, those who drank the wine are starting to glow, but much to Falco's surprise, he's not transforming, but Colt is still hugging Falco as if he's not going to let him go.

But at the other places, the Garrison and the Military Police are now transforming into Titans as beams of lights start to appear.

I'll end the chapter right here, and as you can see, Eren decides to take Zeke's place on doing the screaming. What is going to happen next? I hope you like this chapter. As for the vote thing, I did ask the question in one of the chapters, and one review give me a vote. I hope you like this chapter.
