Author's Note: I'm afraid this is the end.
"One hour after the Rumbling had been prevented by Erwin Smith and the Survey Corp., the surviving Yeagerists and those that affiliated with them-such as the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers who aided the Yeagerists were thrown in jail."
"What happened up there, you guys?" Hange asked as she, Connie, Sasha, Jean and Niccolo had stood within a cellar.
Erwin Smith and Levi Ackerman had stood in front of the cellar that their comrades were held inside of.
"We won. That's what happened." Levi said as he gave Hange a brief smile.
Hange gasped. "R-Really? You're saying that-"
"The Power of the Titans had all been diminished and the chances of Rumbling being activated is now zero. And also... everyone whom consumed Zeke's spinal fluids and transformed into Titans have now been turned back to normal people." Erwin stated.
"Y-You're serious, Commander?" Connie moved closer to the cellars bars and grasped it.
"So, you're saying there will be no more Titans?" Sasha followed behind Connie and did the same thing he was doing.
"Wait, so we stopped the Yeagerists and the Rumbling?" Jean asked in shock.
"That's exactly right." Erwin nodded.
Connie had begun to tear up. "So, no more Titans, huh? Then that means..." Connie had suddenly thought of his mother within Ragako Village. "My mother must be normal, again." He let a single tear stream down his face. Not out of grief, but in relief.
"Yay! No more Titans!" Sasha quickly ran toward Niccolo and hugged him out of joy. "I can enjoy all the food I want, now!" She smiled and hugged Niccolo, tightly.
Niccolo could feel the pressure of Sasha's tight hug. "Uh... yeah. But, you're kind of squeezing me, here." Niccolo said as Sasha was squeezing his lower stomach.
As they were hugging, Jean Kierstein had walked toward Levi and Erwin. "Commander. Now that the Rumbling has been prevented, what has become of the Yeagerists?"
"Hmm..." Erwin did not give Jean an answer.
"Easy. The survivors that surrendered will either spend the rest of their days here in these cells or we'll put them into a working camp." Levi told Jean.
"And what of Eren?" Hange asked.
Erwin waited a moment to answer. "I'm afraid he will suffer a severe punishment." Erwin told Hange.
Jean, Connie and Sasha gasped.
"You mean, you're gonna execute Eren?" Jean asked in shock.
"No." Erwin shook his head no. "Death is too easy. Eren knew exactly what he was doing. After he and his followers killed the premiere, Zachary and threatening to destroy the world by activating the Rumbling, there was no way that Eren could turn back or make up for the sins he committed. He's going to spend the rest of his life in prison. I'm sorry, but, what's done is done."
"I understand." Hange nodded.
"But, why? Why would Eren go so far in wanting to start the Rumbling? I mean, the world was already at peace." Connie asked.
"We don't know why Eren would go to great lengths." Erwin answered.
"Also, Zeke is dead." Levi said in a positive mood.
Hange understandably gasped. "So, you kept your promise, then."
"I have." Levi nodded.
"Wait, what about Mikasa? Was she there when the Yeagerists attacked?" Jean asked.
"She was. She aided the Yeagerists-in other words, Eren. So, she, too along with the Yeagerists and Eren will be severely punished." Levi said.
Jean disappointingly looked downward.
Levi glanced at Erwin. "Well, Erwin. The entire world is safe. What do you think is going to happen, next?"
"The first thing we should do is...
Seven Days Later...
Seven days had passed, since the Power of the Titans had been stripped from all Eldians.
Within the city of Liberio inside the country of Marley... Willy Tybur had stood on a stage, alone and stood in front of a large audience, which had consisted of thousands of people from different ethnicities in the Internment Zone. Everyone within the audience were dressed in tuxedos or dressed. Within the audience were the Warriors of Marley, such as Reiner Braun, Gabi Braun, Pieck Finger, Colt Grice, Falco Grice, Udo, Zofia and Porco Galliard sitting in the back row watching.
"Thank you. I appreciate you all for taking the time out of your day to appear for this conference. As I have a big announcement to make." Willy Tybur said, then cleared his throat as he stood on a massive stage.
The audience had remained silent as they waited for Willy Tybur to speak.
"I HAVE COME TO ANNOUNCE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD... THAT THE POWER OF THE TITANS IS ALL-BUT DEMINISHED FROM ELDEIANS, EVERYWHERE!" Willy Tybur screamed as stretched his arms out and pointed his nose toward the sky.
There was absolute silence for a moment. A majority of the crowd could not believe what they just heard.
"IT IS THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF THE SURVEY CORP. AND THEIR COMMMANDER THAT WE ELDIANS ARE NOW ABLE TO NOW LIVE FREELY AMONGST OTHER RACES ACROSS THE WORLD WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE POWER OF THE TITANS! ERWIN SMITH HAD KNOWN THAT ELDIANS ALL ACROSS THE WOULD NEVER BE SEEN AS EQUALS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE WORLD HAD FEARED THE POWER OF THE TITANS! SO, HE AND THE SURVEY CORP. HAD FOUGHT FOR HUMANITY'S SURVIVAL AND HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND USED THE FOUNDING TITAN'S POWER TO PREVENT THE RUMBLING AND EXTINGUISH ITS POWER SO THAT NO ELDIAN COULD EVER USE IT, AGAIN!" Willy Tybur then placed his right arm across his heart and his left arm behind his back. "WE ALL HAVE ERWIN SMITH AND THE SURVEY CORP. TO THANK! THEY GAVE THEIR HEARTS TO THE CAUSE! FOR THE FUTURE AND SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY!" Willy Tybur had shouted.
Lara Tybur had watched listened to Willy Tybur's speech from within the stage behind the curtains.
The entire crowd remained still and in complete silence.
'This must be a dream.' Falco had blinked.
Reiner Braun had opened his mouth. "I-"
Suddenly, thousands of people within the large audience had cheered in joy. The world will no longer have to worry about the power of the Titans and the Rumbling.
"So, that wasn't a dream we were experiencing the other day?" Udo asked.
"Apparently, not." Zofia said as she clapped, not out of joy. But because everyone else did it.
Gabi Braun had sat in her seat and thought of something. Or someone. 'I guess that Eldian was good after all...' Gabi had thought of Erwin on the night she saw him.
Theo Magath was standing on top of a building in his Marleyan uniform and watched from a distance with binoculars. "Looks like Erwin kept his word."
"One week after the final battle within Shiganshina between the Survey Corp. and the Yeagerists... Willy Tybur had made a huge announcement to the world that the Power of the Titans were now extinguished from Eldians. A few short days later, all the walls within the Eldian Internment Zone were ordered to be torn down by the Marleyan Government and that all Eldian armbands were to be removed. The project to send Eldians from Marley to Paradis and transform them into pure Titans was now considered illegal."
Six Days Later, within Paradis...
Within a prison cell inside of Stohess District... Annie Leonhardt who attempted to escape after she had been freed from her crystal had been quickly arrested by Hitch Dreyse and a few Military Police Brigade soldiers. Annie was quickly thrown into a jail cell. The people of Paradis had not forgotten the damage Annie had caused to their loved ones and to their District of Stohess.
Annie sat in a dark jail cell, alone. She just sat there as her hands rested on her knees, and she looked tired. As if she had not slept in days.
"Annie Leonhardt." A person had called her name.
Annie had slowly looked up to see Erwin Smith standing from the outside of her cell. Behind Erwin was Levi, whom did not seem happy with her and two Military Police Brigade soldiers.
"I assume that it's time for my execution?" Annie was not afraid, nor angry. But tired.
Levi had glared and thought. 'I wish you were right.' Levi had then thought of his deceased squad members. Petra Ral, Gunther Schultz, Oruo Bozard and Eld Jinn.
"No. You are actually free to go." Erwin said as he looked at one of the Military Police Brigade soldiers, who pulled out a key and unlocked Annie's jail cell door.
"Hm?" Annie felt a bit surprised. "What's the catch?"
"There is no catch. You want to return to Marley and see your family again, don't you?" Erwin asked.
"So, you know then..." Annie asked as she realized that Erwin knows about Marley.
"Yes. The war is over. And Eldians can live freely among normal people throughout the world without the Titan powers." Erwin said as he opened Annie's cell door.
After listening to Erwin speak... Annie had formed a small smile on her face. Her dream had come true. She is an ordinary person, again. "Thanks. I'd like that very much."
The Next Afternoon...
"One week after Willy Tybur had made his announcement to the world, Marley had finally paid Paradis Island a respectable visit."
The sun was fully in the sky, a few small clouds hovered within the sky and the seagulls sing.
Erwin Smith, Queen Historia Reiss, whom was dressed in her Military uniform and many officers and veterans such as Dot Pixis, Nile Dokk, Levi Ackerman, Hange Zoe and, Jean Kierstein had stood on a port waiting for the first Marleyan ship to arrive on their port. Annie Leonhardt was present as well. She was asked to be handed back to Marley as a Marleyan citizen, rather than a warrior.
It had taken half an hour for the Marleyan ship to dock on the Paradis port. On board was Willy Tybur and many Marleyan officials. And an extra quarter-hour for Willy and many Marleyan officials to safely depart from their ship and safely walk on the port.
"People of Paradis. Erwin. Salutations." Willy Tybur had greeted as he approached Erwin Smith and the officials of Paradis.
"Willy Tybur." Erwin had replied.
"I must say. Setting foot on this island without worrying of the Rumbling feels... fascinating." Willy Tybur said as he then grasped hands with Erwin.'
"Yes. And now that the curse of Ymir is no longer an issue, we Eldians can now live our lives as regular people." Erwin replied.
"Yes. I agree." Willy Tybur said, and then noticed Historia Reiss approach him. "And you must be the Queen of this island. I am honored."
"Likewise." Historia had replied.
"Now that introductions are out of the way; I insist that we now get to business." Willy Tybur
"Of course." Erwin replied, then looked back to his part of Paradis. He gazed at two officials, which told them to bring Annie Leonhardt forward.
The two officials had brought Annie Leonhardt forward toward Willy Tybur's group. She was not restraint or had guns pointed at her back. She was free as a bird. Annie had walked toward the side where Willy Tybur's group was standing.
"Make sure Miss Leonhardt gets on board, safely." Willy Tybur had looked back to two of his Marleyan subordinates.
"Sir!"
And as soon as Annie had walked toward Willy Tybur's side... two Marleyan officials had then escorted Annie toward the Marleyans ship where she can safely sail back to Marley. But little did she know...
"Annie?"
Annie had gasped when she heard and recognized a masculine voice. 'That voice... it couldn't be...'
Annie Leonhardt looked forward as soon as she had boarded the Marleyan ship. She saw her physically disabled adopted father after eight whole years.
'Dad...' Annie's eyes had watered.
"Annie..." Mister Leonhardt had muttered as he laid eyes on Annie. His eyes begun to water as he felt joyed to see Annie again.
Annie grunted. Without a seconds' hesitation, Annie quickly ran toward her adoptive father and hugged him. Before making contact, Mister Leonhardt had dropped his cane and raised his arms.
"I kept my promise, dad." Annie cried, letting tears stream down her face in relief.
"I know you did." Mister Leonhardt muttered.
Meanwhile, on the docks... the two parties still stood and faced each other. One group from Paradis and the other group from Marley.
"I have to be honest with you, Erwin. Me coming to Paradis this early was never my request." Willy Tybur told Erwin.
Erwin was a bit thrown off of what Willy said. "Request?"
"It was actually hers..." Willy Tybur said, then had taken a few steps to his left to make way.
Suddenly, Lara Tybur had confronted Erwin Smith on the docks and stared. She had worn the same black dress that she favored for a long time.
Many officials from Paradis had laid eyes on Lara for the first time as they acknowledge her beauty. Even Dot Pixis was thrown off by Lara Tybur's beauty.
Erwin Smith stared at Lara, regularly. And as they made eye contact... Lara Tybur had suddenly raised her right arm toward Erwin.
"Eh?"
Lara Tybur had revealed a white cloth wrapped around her right palm with a medium stan of blood where the palm was.
Most of the officials were left confused on how Lara Tybur had gained that injury. But Erwin can probably assume how it happened.
Lara Tybur had suddenly grunted, and her eyes automatically watered. She had wasted no time as she had run toward Erwin as fast as she could and hugged him.
Many of the officials, both Eldians and Marleyans alike were surprised to see this happen.
Lara had let tears of relief and joy stream down her face. "Th-Thank... you so much...!"
Erwin replied by gently hugging her, as he knew what Lara meant.
Queen Historia smiled.
Willy Tybur smiles.
The Year, Eight Fifty-Seven.
Three entire years had passed, since the battle within Shiganshina. And Paradis Island could not have been more peaceful with the world.
Mikasa Ackerman, whom was currently the age of twenty-two years old and she had worn a dress that contained a pink sweater over a white-sleeved shirt. She had worn the red scarf around her neck, a pair of black Mary Jane shoes and a long pink skirt that goes down to her ankles. Mikasa had grown her dark hair longer in a ponytail with two bangs hanging down the corners of her face.
"Three years prior, shortly after the Yeagerists's plan to use the Rumbling and destroy the world had been stopped for good... the surviving Yeagerists, including Mikasa Ackerman were thrown into prison work camps. Mikasa Ackerman had only spent one whole year there as she had been released on good behavior."
Mikasa Ackerman had currently stood within a memorial outside of the city, Shiganshina. But within Wall Maria. The memorial was called, Hero's Wings Memorial. Where thousands of Survey Corps. soldiers had died while fighting for Paradis' freedom against the Titans. Ther memorial had gravestones with names of the deceased in scripted on it. And certain important Survey Corp. soldiers had their own metal statues to honor them.
Mikasa Ackerman stared at a single metal statue before her. And that... was the statue of Armin Arlert. The statue had a visual of Armin Arlert when he was fifteen-year-old. Dressed in a Survey Corp. uniform.
Suddenly, Mikasa's head begun to ache lesser than it did. She grasped her right head and sudden memories of Armin begun to fill.
"Remember the ocean? A giant lake that is filled with so much saltwater that not even the merchants can collect it all..."
"During the year, Eight Fifty, after the Survey Corp. had reclaimed Shiganshina District from the Warrior Unit and the Titans. Erwin Smith had thought of building a memorial for all of the deceased Survey Corps. soldiers. Especially, after Armin Arlert had died. But the memorial was not able to start the build until all of the Titans within Wall Maria were slain and after the Survey Corp. had came into contact with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers."
"I wish you were here, Armin. Enjoying this new world peace... along with the rest of the world." Mikasa frowned and said in a bit of a sad tone. She tried her best not to cry.
"We all do."
Mikasa heard a voice coming from behind her, so she turned half her head around to see four people approach her. Three of the four people were her friends of Mikasa'... such as Jean Kierstein... Connie Springer and... a pregnant Sasha Blouse, whom was four months. They were dressed in the same suits and dresses as they had worn when they first ventured to Marley. And last, but not least... the other person who appeared with them was Niccolo-whom is now married to Sasha Blouse and is expecting their firstborn child.
"If Armin was here, he would've enjoyed this newfound peace between Paradis and the world." Jean said as he gently placed his left hand on Mikasa's right shoulder. On Jean's left hand was silver engagement ring.
Mikasa looked at the silver engagement ring on Jean's hand, then looked down at her own left hand and looked down at her own left hand. Which also had the same silver engagement ring on her ring finger.
"That's right. Jean and Mikasa had begun dating shortly after Mikasa was had been released from the prison camp. And now they're engaged. And even though Mikasa considers Eren to be family, that did not stop Mikasa from taking interest into other guys."
"Yeah. And he would've gotten to see the ocean, too, if he was still here." Connie said.
"And eat lots of delicious foods." Sasha commented as she clutched to Niccolo's left arm.
"Shortly after the Battle of Shiganshina had ended in Eight Fifty-Four... Niccolo and Sasha had begun dating. And then, they married three months later."
"Yeah. Armin was the real reason why Eren and I joined the Survey Corp. He gave Eren ideas about seeing the outside world and I just followed Eren wherever he went. If we hadn't met Armin, then we probably wouldn't have joined the Survey Corp. and come as far as we did. And Eren probably would've just kept fighting bullies in Shiganshina." Mikasa told her friends.
Jean raised his left eyebrow just a few centimeters. 'Eren, huh?'
"Yeah. And if Eren hadn't came and saved me when he did, then I probably wouldn't be here." Mikasa stated as she had thought of the time when she was nine.
Meanwhile, within Wall Maria...
"Isn't Eren ser-ow!" Connie was interrupted by a nudge caused by Jean. "Geez, Jean!"
Jean nudged Connie on the right arm. "Connie. Now's not the time."
"Okay. Sorry." Connie replied while rubbing his right arm.
"It's alright. I'm over it. Even though Eren has tried to end the world... I'm still happy that he's part of my life. I mean, after all... he is family." Mikasa turned her head back to Jean, attempting to form a smile.
There was a moment of silence as they looked at Mikasa, confusingly a bit.
"We should get going, soon. We don't want to be late for the fair." Jean had informed Mikasa.
"Right." Mikasa nodded, while smiling.
Sasha had gasped as she had remembered. "Oh, that's right! The fair! I heard that they're selling lots of tasty foods, like hotdogs and snoc wones and cotton candy!" Sasha quickly turned to her husband, Niccolo. "Right, Niccolo?"
"Um, yeah. They all are really delicious." Niccolo said.
"What? You already tried them? Without me?" Sasha asked in complete shock.
"I was a kid, when I first went to the fair. But that was a long time ago." Niccolo told Sasha, while caressingly grabbing her shoulders.
"Yeah. They're hosting a fair within Shiganshina, this time." Connie said as he looked at the wall, which leads to Shiganshina District. "We're supposed to meet up with Squad Leader Hange, the Commander and his wife." Connie stated.
"Right. And I heard that Queen Historia's there, too." Jean nodded.
"But, what about Captain Levi?" Sasha asked.
"He won't be attending, this time." Niccolo said, which made Sasha and her friends look at him. "Recently, I heard that he opened a teashop somewhere within Wall Rose. But, I don't know where it is currently located." Niccolo said.
Meanwhile, within the Capital...
Within Mitras... Levi Ackerman had recently opened up a classy teashop within the suburbs of the royal capital. Which permission had been granted by Queen Historia. The teashop was a one-storied and fancy building. The workers within Levi's new teashop-or Levi's employees were anyone needing of a job and mostly the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers including Yelena and Onyankopon.
Levi had worn a black suit and stood in the streets of Mitras. He stared at his newly built teashop, which had been titled, Tea of Freedom. The name of his new teashop. He imagined and wished that all of his deceased comrades, including his former Squad killed by Annie and then, his two friends from the underground city.
Meanwhile, in Outside of Shiganshina...
"It might be in the capital. I don't know." Jean looked back to Niccolo.
"Yeah. Captain Levi sure loves his tea." Connie said.
Shortly afterward... the former Survey Corp. soldiers had ventured into the city of Shiganshina. Leaving the Hero's Wings Memorial behind. Mikasa made one last goodbye to Armin's statue.
Meanwhile, within Shiganshina District...
A big fair was currently taking place within Shiganshina District. Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Sasha and Niccolo had roamed through the streets of Shiganshina. Only to see that there were hundreds of people from all across the world attending the fair within Shiganshina District. All foreigners had traveled to Paradis by ship. They were dancing, eating food and enjoying their time within Shiganshina.
"Wow. Everyone looks happy, here." Sasha said as she saw three adolescent kids run pass by her.
"It's not just the people that live here..." Niccolo glanced to his right to see four younger people playing a playing a game at a booth called "Shoot The Duck!". These four young people were former Marleyan warriors, such as Gabi Braun, Falco Grice, Zofia and Udo. The four of them had grown a bit bigger after three years. Zofia and Gabi's bodies were a bit taller and their hair had grown longer. Both Falco and Udo had grown taller in height. They were all in positive moods.
"It's every race that lives on this Earth who came to visit. Lots of people had gone out of their way to check this island out for themselves." Niccolo said.
As when Niccolo said that two former warriors from Marley had suddenly walked passed the group of friends. These two people were Pieck Finger and Porco Galliard. They were enjoying ice cream. But Porco was more self-aware of how people might treat him, since this was his first time on Paradis Island and Pieck was laid back. She wasn't worried at all.
"Yeah. It's even a miracle that lots of races trust Eldians, nowadays." Connie said.
After a few seconds of walking...
"Connie, dear!"
Jean, Mikasa, Connie, Sasha and Niccolo had heard a feminine voice. But only one of them recognizes the voice. They all had looked to their right. Two o'clock only to see Connie Springer's mother, who seems to be kindly waving. Connie had worn a dress similar to what she had worn before she had transformed into a Titan, seven years prior. But the dress is green. And her blonder hair was tied in a lower ponytail.
"Are you still going to show me around the fair?" Misses Springer asked while catching Connie's attention. She was standing a few yards away from Connie and his friends.
'It's mom.' Connie had thought, then blinked. He then chuckled to himself and turned to his friends. "Sorry, guys. I guess it's time for me to part ways." Connie said, before departing from his friends.
"Alright." Jean said as he waved Connie off.
"Have fun!" Sasha said in a happy tone while watching Connie leave.
Connie raised his left arm up, waving back as he walked toward his mother.
Shortly after Connie had reunited with his mother and parted ways from his friends, the group kept roaming through Shiganshina District enjoying themselves.
"Wow. Connie and his mom have a really strong mother-and-son bond." Sasha said.
"Can you blame them?" Jean asked Sasha. "Ever since Connie's mom turned back into a normal person, three years ago... Connie has been real close to his mom. And since then, they have been nearly inseparable." Sasha commented.
"Hm." Sasha placed her left index on her lower chin. "I guess that explains why Connie rushed back to his home village after the fight ended."
"That's right. Everyone has one mother. You gotta do what you can to spend as much time with them as you can." Niccolo told Sasha.
"Oh..." Sasha was moving her head around left and right like a lighthouse light. Until...
Sasha heavily gasped when she saw a middle-aged man with a cotton candy machine on her left selling kids and adults cones filled with pink and blue cotton candy.
"What is it, Sasha?" Niccolo looked to Sasha.
"T-There it is!" Sasha said as she pointed at the cotton candy machine.
"You mean, the cotton candy?" Niccolo asked Sasha.
"Y-yes! I gotta taste it!" Sasha yelled in excitement and a craving for cotton candy. Her eyes were showing sparkles and her face turned pink.
"Um, okay..." Niccolo sighed.
"Great! Now, let's go!" Sasha said pulling Niccolo's left arm, dragging him. Sasha was acting like a horse dragging its rider, while the rider was clinging onto the saddle.
"S-Slow down, Sasha!" Niccolo begged while being dragged away from Mikasa and Jean. "Gyaah!"
Jean and Mikasa didn't wave off to Sasha and Niccolo and just kept moving on.
Two Minutes Later...
After parting ways with Sasha and her husband, Niccolo... Jean and Mikasa kept walking for two more minutes, until...
"Hello, fellow comrades!" Hange Zoe had happily greeted Jean and Mikasa. Hange had worn a purple suit that women wear and had still worn an eyepatch over her left eye.
"Oh, hey Squad Leader Hange." Jean replied.
"Now, now. You don't have to address me by that title. We're not fighting Titans, anymore." Hange laughed.
Jean and Mikasa glanced at each other for a second.
"So, are you two enjoying the fair?" Hange asked, happily.
"We are." Jean said as both he and Mikasa nodded.
"The atmosphere feels very positive." Mikasa said.
"Yeah! It's because the entire world decided to put aside their differences and see how bad this island really is." Hange had laughed.
''Why am I not surprised Hange would be excited?' Jean thought, embarrassingly.
Mikasa looked to her right to see something unusual. "Eh?"
Jean looked to Mikasa. "What is it, Mikasa?" Jean followed Mikasa's eyes and saw what Mikasa was looking at. "Huh?" Jean's mouth was halfway open. What he and Mikasa saw...
Reiner Braun and Historia Reiss were chatting with each other holding ice cream cones in their hands. Their conversation seemed friendly with each other. Of course Historia had Military Police Brigade bodyguards with her, but Historia allowed to let Reiner chat with her.
"Wait, is that Reiner? And he's talking to Historia?" Jean asked in shock.
"So, you've noticed?" Hange asked Jean.
Jean and Mikasa quickly turned her attention to Hange.
"Recently, Reiner has been opening discussions about wanting to move here on Paradis and get a job as one of Historia's bodyguards." Hange informed Mikasa and Jean.
"W-WWHHHAAAAAAAA?" Jean reacted, shockingly.
"That's fine." Mikasa said.
"M-Mikasa? You're okay with this? After everything he's done?" Jean looked to Mikasa in shock.
"Look, Jean. I know it sounds hard, but it's his way of wanting to make amends for all the crimes he committed in Paradis. His hands will never be clean, but the only thing he can do now is move forward." Hange told Jean.
"I once heard Reiner talking about wanting to marry Historia." Mikasa said.
"W-what does Commander Erwin think about Reiner coming back to Paradis!" Jean asked.
"Do you know where the Commander is, Hange?"
"Oh, Erwin?" Hange then placed her right index finger on her chin. "Well..."
Meanwhile...
On top of the front Shiganshina Wall... there were two people. Two Eldians that were standing on top of it. Their names were Erwin Smith and Lara Tybur. They were staring at the view of the outside land for some time. The sun was out and the sky was blue.
"This is beautiful." Lara Tybur said as she admired the green background and the blue sky. She had formed an impressed smile on her face.
"Yes. It is." Erwin had replied.
"I wish elder brother and my younger nieces and nephews could come and enjoy Shiganshina. Especially, this moment right here. But... they already have their own lives within Marley." Lara had sounded a tiny bit depressed.
"I know. And I'm sure that they will all come and visit, one day." Erwin replied. Assuring that the rest of the Tybur Family will visit Shiganshina.
Lara had waited a moment to say something. "Erwin?"
Erwin had begun to slightly look at Lara. "Yes, Lara?"
"I just have a question." Lara asked.
"Yes. Ask away." Erwin gave Lara permission to ask.
"Speaking of family..." Lara begun to blush and avoid contact, momentarily. "When the day comes-when "it" comes..." Lara Tybur then fully faced Erwin and placed her hands on her own lower stomach. "Do you think that our child should be born here on Paradis or should it be born within Marley?" Lara asked with a blush on her face. Revealing her pregnancy to her husband, Erwin.
Erwin gasped for a few seconds as he had acknowledged Lara Tybur's pregnancy. He is going to be a parent. He then smiled and kneeled in front of Lara. "I think we should let it decide where it wants to be born." Erwin gently placed his left hand on Lara's pregnant stomach.
"Hmph," Lara smiled as she could feel their unborn baby inside her womb.
"That's right. Erwin Smith and Lara Tybur are now married. They had wedded six months after the Rumbling had been prevented, entirely. And now, they are expecting their first child, together. This isn't the first time that an Eldian from Paradis and an Eldian from Marley would conceive a child, together. Best of both worlds. Oh, and speaking of that..."
Meanwhile, within Wall Sina...
Within the capital of Paradis Island... there was a man sitting inside of a jail cell. A twenty-two-year-old Eren Yeager had sat on his bed and just stared at the brick wall in front of him.
Eren Yeager had randomly imagined his now deceased childhood friend, Armin Arlert in front of him.
"Armin..."
"Eren Yeager is spending the rest of his days inside a prison cell for his crimes against humanity."
Author's Note: Thank you so much for following this to the end. Even though the story had its ups, downs, errors and hiatuses, I was still able pull through and finish it in the end.
I wanted to make a different alternative story if Erwin received the Colossus Titan. I've heard stories about Erwin as the Colossus Titan would help Eren attack Marley, but would disagree with starting the Rumbling.
The part where I had written Lara Tybur showing her hand injury to Erwin was meant to symbolize that Titan Shifters could no longer heal after the curse ended.
Here are some fun facts: Levi wanted to build his own teashop. Erwin Smith remained single, because he didn't know how long he was going to live.
Fin. :)
