"I imagine you're surprised to see me alive." Marco affirmed.
Still frozen, Reiner couldn't help but approve that Marco was the last person he thought he'd meet here. Still, trying to maintain his composure, he asked.
"How did you get here?"
"Is that the first thing you say to me?" Asked Marco, indignantly. "After what you did to me, you should..."
"Why not answer him?" Mina interrupted, smiling at him.
However, compared to when she was training with the two boys, the smile she displayed had nothing to do with joy. It was grim, even downright scary as it associated itself with the burns on her face.
"Do you have any idea what I've been through because of you?" She asked, touching the skin of her face. "Seeing my friends get killed...seeing my town getting destroyed...seeing death above me."
Gritting her teeth as she shuddered in fear, she couldn't help but think back to the day she thought her death was coming.
FLASHBACK
Feeling her back slam into a wall, Mina felt her eyesight blur as she finally fell to the ground. Feeling that her body was completely numb, she couldn't even move, as a titan leaned in front of her. Grabbing it with both hands, it opened its mouth, before starting to insert Mina's head into it.
However, a violent slap propelled the titan's body backwards. Feeling her own body fall, Mina nevertheless made recover by the hand of another titan, twice as imposing as the first. Displaying a sinister smile, while fixing the body of the young girl, who was still stunned, it carried her above its head, before opening its mouth.
Gradually regaining her senses, Mina ends up widening her eyes, seeing the huge mouth of the titan, wide open, just above.
"NO! NOOOOOO! PLEEEEASSEEEE!"
Nevertheless, ignoring her torments, the titan let her go and dropped her into its mouth. Only able to scream to land, the girl found herself inside the titan's mouth. Immediately, being on its tongue, she felt it move and try to take her under a row of teeth. Terrified, Mina began to gesture disorganized as her hands and feet slipped on the saliva that coated the giant monster's tongue.
Trying to find an exit, to avoid being crushed, Mina suddenly felt her hand sink into a large hole. Freezing, she saw the entrance to the titan's throat, just ahead of her. Entering it would mean her death. Yet, before she could turn around, the titan's tongue shot up and, having no grip, Mina felt her body slide forward, before dropping into the titan's throat.
And for a few seconds, she found herself trapped inside the esophagus, which made her slowly slide down to its stomach. Falling inside, Mina lands in an area half submerged in red liquid. Finding herself first in the liquid, she gained the surface in order to breathe. But immediately, the disgusting smell of the place made her want to vomit. The place was hot, slimy, dark… and there seemed to be no way for Mina to leave this place.
"Help me. "
Stretching her hand towards the top of the stomach, where she had arrived, Mina was then surprised to feel her arm burned, before being covered with red patches. The liquid she was in was the gastric juices produced by the titan's stomach. Starting to attack Mina's body, it burned her. Feeling like she was in the center of an inferno, the girl screamed in pain, as the skin on her face began to melt.
" AHHHHHHHHHH ! HOT ! HELP ME ! PLEASE ! "
Screaming again and again; the girl ends up feeling her strength abandon her, you say that her body sank little by little into the gastric liquid.
"Please! I... I don't want to... die."
And suddenly, while his whole body, except her left arm raised in the air, was engulfed in liquid, his hand ended up being grabbed by an old wizard.
Several hours had passed before Mina had opened her eyes. Immediately, she straightened up and cried out in terror. However, she was surprised not to find herself inside the stomach of a titan but on the roof of a dwelling. Remaining motionless for a few moments, she ends up smiling, before affirming.
"It…It was just a dream! Yes, just a horrible nightmare."
Still, looking down at her arms, her eyes widened, seeing the horrible burns covering her skin. Then, touching her face, she found that her skin had also been torn here and there at this place.
"What...? What? What does that mean?"
Then, she froze, hearing footsteps, which shook the ground. Body trembling, the young girl turned around and saw the face of a titan, just in front of her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" She cried, pretending to run away.
Nevertheless, with shaking legs, she eventually fell while trying to get up. Wanting to take advantage of it, the titan reached out it hand to catch her. However, before it could touch her, a white sphere slammed into its forehead and immediately a huge explosion blew its head off, while the rest of its body slammed backwards.
Ejected because of the shock wave, Mina slowly raised her horrified head, while she did not understand what had just happened.
" What is ... ?"
"This place is not safe." An old man's voice asserted.
Floating above Mina, Widos was the one who had just saved her for the second time, having extracted her from the titan's stomach.
"Who...Who are you?"
For only answer, idos pointed a place of the finger, before advising her.
"You better see this."
"Huh?" The young girl wondered.
Immediately, she saw a titan carrying a huge boulder above it, while walking towards Wall Maria, where the huge breach formed by the colossal titan was.
"What's going on? Who is this titan?"
Then, around this mysterious titan, she saw several people trying to help her forward, while making a diversion in order to attract the attention of other titans, who seemed to want to attack the one who carried a rock .
"This titan...it's helping us? But why?"
Suddenly she heard a strange conversation.
" They're going to plug the hole with that ? It's insane ... Eren might end up getting eaten ! And if that happens, we still won't know a thing. "
" Yeah ... If it comes to it, I'll have to do something with my Titan somehow. "
Turning her head in all directions, Mina finally sees Reiner and Berthold, on another roof, talking to each other. But, strangely, while Mina was several hundred meters away from them, she had no trouble hearing them.
" But if their plan, works, it'll plug the hole we finally opened. " Affirmed Berthold.
" It doesn't matter. " Said Reiner. " We've been searching for a clue these past five years and we finally found it. "
However, while Mina was able to listen to them without the slightest difficulty, the pair didn't seem to hear anyone approaching them, while listening to their conversation as well.
" Hey ... you guys ? "
Startled, Reiner and Berthold turned to see Marco just behind them. Confused, he couldn't hide his astonishment, as he seemed to have heard something he shouldn't have listened to.
" What ... were you just talking about ? Reiner ... what did you mean by " my titan " ? Berthold ... what's this about " the hole we opened ? "
Frozen, the two boys were only looking at Marco, he seemed to know too much. Finally, Reiner took a step towards him.
" Marco ... That conversation just now ... was a joke. "
Despite the poor lie, the blond sincerely hoped that Marco could believe him and not ask any more questions. Then he saw a forced smile forming on Marco's face.
" Ha... Have you guys lost it ? This isn't like you. Focus on the mission! Look the Titans are coming ! Let's go. "
Then, immediately, he activated his jetpack, before leaving the roof. Flustered, he could help but feel his heartbeat quicken as he glanced over his shoulder.
" Eren transformed into a titan ... Humans can become Titans ! So if the Colossal Titan appeared out of nowhere and suddenly vanished ... it's propably a human, too. "
Landing on another roof, he concluded his thoughts.
"In other words, the enemy Titans are hiding as humans somewhere ! That means ... "
Hearing the sound of a jetpack, Marco barely had time to turn around when Reiner threw him on the roof.
"Reiner." Morocco yelled, trying to struggle. " What are you doing? "
Feeling the boy twist his arms behind his back, Marco turned his head, staring at him.
" This is a joke, right ? "
"No, Marco." Reiner confessed, as Berthold landed beside him. "The problem is you're too damn sharp."
Knowing that he was in a very bad situation, Marco started to shout.
" SOMEONE ! HELP ... "
Nevertheless, he was silenced by Reiner's hand which moved to his mouth.
" SHUT UP ! "
Nevertheless, the scene was entirely seen by Mina, who couldn't understand what was happening.
" Reiner ? Berthold ? W ... WHy ? "
However, picking up another movement, hope revives in her, seeing a young girl come to Marco's rescue.
" Annie. "
Seeing the girl also land on the roof where he was, Marco redoubled his efforts to be able to make her understand the situation. Shaking his head, he removed Reiner's hand from his mouth, before shouting.
" Annie ! Help me out. "
Looking at the trio, while looking distraught, the blonde asked.
" What's this all about ? "
" Reiner's acting crazy ! Help me. "
" He heard our conversation. " Said Reiner. " We can't let him live. "
Hearing this, Annie's face became even more shocked as she said.
" You're shitting me ... you asshole. "
"What?" Marveled Marco.
Hearing heavy footsteps, Berthold turned and saw a titan walking in their direction.
" A titan ! It's coming this way. "
Immediately, thinking of a plan, Reiner lifted Marco up, while pinning his arms to prevent him from defending himself.
" Annie ! Take off Marco's ODM gear. "
"What?" marveled Marco.
Hearing the order, Annie remained frozen, knowing full well the consequences of this act. Reiner wanted to kill Marco. And this titan was the perfect way to get rid of him, without being accused.
" DO IT, FAST !" Shouted Reiner.
" Why ... do I have to ? "
" Back there, you risked your life for Conny, didn't you ? Why did you put yourself in danger ? Have you become attached to the evil race or something ? If I'm wrong, prove it to me right now. If you, and your father waiting for you to come home, are any different than this filthy race, prove it right now. "
"Reiner! It's almost on top of us." Berthold yelled, staring at the titan approaching them.
" ANNIE !" Shouted Reiner.
Finally, from where she was, Mina spotted Annie undoing Marco's harness, who started screaming in terror, while screaming horrified. Immediately, the young girl's world collapsed, as she saw the one she considered her best friend, helping two other of her friends to kill Marco.
" Impossible ... Reiner ? Berthold ? Annie ? "
Then, tears welled up in her eyes, as she saw Annie throw Marco's jetpack away, before fleeing, with her two companions. Seeming to run away as quickly as possible, Reiner could only hear Marco's cries, as the boy declared.
" We haven't ... even ... had a chance to talk this through. "
Freezing then, Reiner almost fell, while Marco's sentence paralyzed him. However, gritting his teeth, he preferred to continue to flee far away, while Marco ended up being grabbed by the titan.
" NO ! PLEASE, NO ! HELP MEEEEEEEEE ! "
But as the trio left, they didn't see Marco disappear from the titan's hands, before being teleported to another rooftop. Immediately, the surprise was read on his face, while he tried to understand what had just happened.
" Wh ... What ? "
"Welcome to you, my boy." Widos greeted him. "I'm the man who just saved you?"
Startled when he saw her, Marco questioned him.
" Who are you ? "
"My name is Widos! I'm just a wizard passing by! Glad I could save you and this girl."
"Huh?" Marco wondered, turning his face away.
Immediately, he saw Mina, who had fallen to her knees, while she stared at the city, destroyed by the titans, without showing the slightest emotion.
"Mina? Are you alive? Armin said you were dead and you..."
He suddenly fell silent, hearing her say.
"These traitors...they betrayed us."
"Then suddenly she laughed.
"HAHAHAHA! Reiner...Berthold...Annie...they are the ones who destroyed our country! They are the ones who massacred us! HAHAHAHA! Very funny."
Then, suddenly, feeling an excruciating pain without her brain, she stopped laughing, while putting her hands on her skull. And now showing an angry face, she roared.
"We're going to kill them! Yes! I swear I'll take their heads and show the world that they're just traitors! I'll kill them! I'll kill them."
Observing the scene, Widos stared at the duo with a strange smile. He knew that these two teenagers were definitely not the most competent people on this planet. Nevertheless, with his future plans, he knew something would make them different from the rest: hatred.
Finally, agreeing that his plan had gone smoothly, the wizard stared at a corpse lying on the ground and, simply pointing his hand at it, Widos changed his appearance, so that he took on Marco's appearance. . Thus, everyone would believe in his death, without asking a simple question.
" Perfect! We can go. " Widos affirmed.
"Huh?" Marco wondered. "Go where? Hold on! Sir, thank you for what you've done for me, but...I have to warn my friends of the danger that awaits them! I have to tell them about Reiner and about..."
He suddenly fell silent, feeling Widos' hand rest on his shoulder.
"Everything in due time, my boy! First of all, I think you will need some training."
"Training? What training."
Simply smiling, Widos declared.
"Quatro...Cinca...Welcome to my team."
FLASHBACK'S END
"Do you understand?" Mina questioned him. "Do you understand how we felt that day?"
Starting to scratch at her burns, she roared.
"Usually, I don't feel the presence of my burns anymore! But, as soon as I saw your bastard face, they immediately made me suffer again! They reminded me that, through your fault, I almost died in the stomach of this titan, and that I have no right to forget your betrayal! Yes! I must avenge all the people who died because of you! And when that is done, I will ask Widos-sama for allowing me to kill Berthold and Annie."
"Wait, that doesn't make sense." Reiner retorted. "Okay...I...I confess that what you say is true! That I really betrayed you! But...it wasn't for personal reasons! I...I did. for my country."
"Your country?" Repeated Marco. " What do you mean ? "
"We don't care." Mina roared, pointing her magic pistols at Reiner. " Whatever his reasons, we're going to kill him! Widos-sama gave us permission to kill him and I'm not going to miss this opportunity. "
"Wait! Widos...? Why is he helping you, when he saved my life?"
"What?" marveled Marco. "He saved you?"
"Yes! When Mikasa wanted to kill me, he came to save me! And before I could understand it, I found myself in this world and..."
A projectile passed close to his face and scratched his cheek. Facing the blond, Mina pointed one of her guns at him, while her second hand scraped the burns on his face, so hard they started to bleed.
"SHUT UP!" She roared. "Widos-sama is our saviour! I forbid you to lie to us again and make us believe that he is your ally! Never again will I believe a single one of your lies."
"Mina… calm down." Marco implored her.
"WHAT? Do you want to save him?"
"No." Marco retorted. " It's just that ... "
Staring at Reiner, the boy questioned him.
"Reiner...in those three years...did you really hate being with us?"
Hearing this question, Reiner lowered his gaze, before biting back his lips. Then he declared.
"Marco...if I could have done otherwise...I swear...I swear..."
This time, Mina's projectiles exploded as they hit his chest. Thrown back, while having the skin of his abdomen burnt, Reiner fell to the ground, while the girl charged at him, with a face transformed with hatred.
"You're lying! I don't think so! If you had wanted to protect us, you would never have behaved the way you did."
And before Marco could stop her, she fired again and again at Reiner, who remained on the ground.
Putting a hand on a ruined building, Robin seemed to admire the carvings that were still visible. Absorbed by what she saw, she didn't look at Vivi, who followed her in silence. Showing a sulky face, the former princess grumbled.
" Is she really mad that I told her I hated her? Who does she think she is? I'm the one who should hate her when she helped Crcodile almost destroy my country . "
However, despite her grudge against Robin, she couldn't help but think back to the times when Robin had protected her, like a guardian angel. And Vivi seemed like the only person who deserved that attention, while she was also the only victim of Robin's teasing.
" Why is she acting like this with me? "
" QUA ! "
Vivi was surprised to see Karue stop and look up.
"What's going on ?" Vivi asked, imitating him.
Immediately, she widened her eyes, seeing a strange white animal, staring at them, while being on top of a rock.
" Absol. "
"A pokemon?"
Seeing him, Robin stared at him for a few moments. However, instead of being afraid of him, she displayed a smile, while affirming.
"Isn't he cute?"
"Cute?" Vivi wondered, looking at Absol.
Staring at the duo, the pokemon's red eyes only seemed to show anger and this scared Vivi.
"He's not cute at all."
As if frustrated to hear this, Absol flashed his horn, before attacking him, creating a sharp gust of wind.
Absol use RAZOR WIND.
Screaming in fear, Vivi hurriedly ran away so as not to get cut up.
" HELP ! "
"Princess Wednesday, don't you know it's rude to insult people?" Robin questioned her.
" It's my fault ? "
In response, Absol jumped, before solidifying his cock and aiming it at the two women.
Absol use IRON TAIL.
Immediately stepping back, the two women saw the pokemon hit the ground. Pulling out her sharp jewels, Vivi twirled them around, before aiming them at Absol. Nevertheless, already turning towards her, Absol let his horn stain purple.
Absol use KNIGHT SLASH.
Then running towards Vivi, he gave a powerful blow of his horn which pulverized the weapons of the princess. Screaming in fear, she fell backwards, seeing the pokemon rush at her. However, just as she was about to be hit, she saw hands appear around Absol's body, and managed to immobilize him.
"Absol?" the pokemon wondered.
"Sorry, but I can't let you hit that person." Robin said, arms crossed.
Growling, Absol managed to turn his head towards her, before creating a purple sphere.
Absol use SHADOW BALL
Seeing the attack bearing down on her, Robin was forced to step back, uncrossing her arms. Passing close to her, the attack hit a vestige, pulverizing it. Seeing various pieces of stones falling near her. The young woman looked down at the debris. Then, staring at Absol, who was facing her, she crossed her arms again.
"I didn't really want to fight you...but you don't give a choice."
"Absol." The pokemon growled, before lighting up his horn.
However, as they were about to fight, a voice screamed.
" STOP ! "
Surprising the two women, Absol and Karue saw the silhouette of a boy, appear from behind a tree.
"Huh?" Vivi wondered, seeing Shinichi.
"Come here" Ordered the boy. "Get out of these ruins."
" What ? "
"Do as I tell you." Shinichi insisted. "Come out of the ruins and you'll see he won't attack you."
surprised, the two women looked at each other. Then, finally, walking backwards, they started heading towards Shinichi. Growling, Absol still had his horn lit up. Nevertheless, he made no hostile gesture, as he saw the two women leaving what seemed to be his territory.
Finally, when Vivi got near Shinichi, she couldn't hide her surprise.
"'Why isn't he chasing us? Enel ordered them to attack us though.'"
"Because he's standing up for something very important and he can't afford to get injured."
" Huh ? "
At that moment, footsteps were heard. Then, another absolute appeared. A little smaller than the first, it looked much more feminine, while its belly was very rounded, compared to that of the first absol.
"What?" Vivi wondered.
"A pregnant female." Robin observed.
Stopping growling, the male absolute moved towards the female. Then, one in front of the other, they ended up caressing each other, rubbing their head against their partner's neck. Thus, they showed the emotional bond that they shared between them.
"He was protecting his female." Vivi realized.
" Even if Enel gave him the order, he's not going to come after you to attack you. " Shinichi affirmed. "Protecting his female must be much more important to him, even if he risks being punished."
Staring at the duo for a few seconds, Robin eventually turns to Shinichi.
" Who are you ? "
"Huh?" The boy wondered.
Startled, the boy had completely forgotten that he had followed Vivi, spinning. Nevertheless, seeing them in danger, he came out of his hiding place, as soon as he understood the male absolute's intentions.
"I... My name is Shinichi Kudo! I'm just a passerby."
"A passerby?" repeated Nico Robin, skeptically. " At Upper Yard?"
Not being the best liar, Shinichi forced himself to laugh, while feeling a bead of sweat running down his face.
"I was with a group of friends, when we ran into an angel named Pit-san! They asked for our help to fight Enel! Apparently, they told us he was a real tyrant."
"Have you seen Pit?" Vivi wondered.
"So you're not here as an enemy?" Robin questioned.
" No, not at all. " Kudo affirmed, waving his hands in front of him.
"At least, it was Smoker who personally wanted to capture them."
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard.
" Huh ? "
Then, a huge boulder was thrown into the air, before crashing into the body of the male absolute. Spitting blood, he was thrown away from his female, who didn'tt understand what happened, just like the pirates.
"To disobey Enel-sama's orders, for a reason as stupid and selfish as love! Tsss! There's really nothing more stupid than a pokemon."
Appearing in sight of the pirates, Yama pulverized a ruin in order to move. Then flashing a wicked smile, he faced the people who were already in the area, while declaring.
"I'm going to pulverize your bones."
