Struggling, the only thing Reiner was feeling was infesting his head while trying to keep the worm from going to Eren. Annie and Pieck also clawed themselves to it while the other titans were clawing and biting them.

"You are not going anywhere as long as I stand." Reiner shouted as he freed one of his hands and punched the titan, trying to bite off his nape. The growling of the titans filled his ears, the only exception being the distant sounds made by the two colossal titans fighting each other.

His surroundings start to distort; the titans, the worm, and Fort Salta all disappear, replaced by the scenery over a wall. Reiner looked around, confused.

"Welcome to Wall Rose, Reiner." He turned around to see Eren coming; however younger, he was wearing the scout's uniform. "I liked this outfit; yours is fitting too." Reiner looked at himself, as the red armband was on his left arm. "Remember the day when you betrayed us, here."

"What bullshit is this?" Reiner yelled at him.

"I am here for a deal." Eren said as Reiner spit on the floor.

"Yeah, what will you give? Gabi?" Reiner said, remembering his cousin.

"Yes." Reiner shrugged him off. "Just let me win, and she will be safe."

"Shut up; I will never make a deal with you." Reiner roared.

"Fine, she will die then."

"She died when you turned her into a titan."

"No, she is still alive; you, however, are pushing her to death. I can make her human again."

"Hehe, she can only become human by feeding on a shifter, gaining thirteen years. So, Eren, why can't I just kill you and then feed myself to her and let her live the thirteen years peacefully?"

"Yeah, you are right; I am losing right now. I will lose the founder's power in the next four seconds."

"Then," Reiner turned around, "there is nothing left to talk about."

"Yeah, but I should tell you something." Reiner looked back at him. "Do you know that a titan shifter's physical wounds heal, including previous conditions?"

"I don't see the point."

"Reiner, just a yes or no question." Reiner looked at Eren's serious face as he rolled his eyes. Giving the man a last talk had no harm.

"Yes."

"But not the mental conditions. A shifter retains any mental conditions they had before inheriting the titan. Also, the founder can alter the mind."

"Eren, if you are wasting my time, then bravo man, you..." Reiner raised his hand to clap; however, something clicked in his mind, horrifying him. "No."

He watched as an unnatural grin came over Eren's face. Reiner took a step back in fear.

"You dare defeat me and pass the Armour to Gabi; I will make sure that her mind shatters into a thousand pieces. I will make her the most unbearable person in the world; no one will ever even look at her, or I will make her so violent that they throw her into an asylum. Or maybe I will simply take away her will to live. Let's see if she will…"

"No, please don't!" Reiner fell to his knees. "Please, don't do this to her." He begged as tears started falling from his eyes. "Please, don't be this cruel to me."

"Good." Eren said, still wearing the grin. "So here is the deal: you give up; I will let her inherit the Armor." Once done, I will encase her in the crystal. Once my work is done, I will take her along with that boy to paradise, where they will live a happy life. Or refuse and..."

"I will, I will." Reiner said.

"Thank you. I am only doing this for my people; I promise that they will have a happy and long life."

"You are a really good brother." That was the last thing Reiner heard before returning to reality. The worm was still slithering, trying to make its way out. However, the titans behind him started leaving; only Gabi was standing there.

Reiner left his spot, rushing to Gabi's titan, grabbing her, and starting to run away from the others. After running some distance, he looked back as Annie's titan fell as a titan chewed something while Pieck got shoved off, and Armin's colossal titan started to fall.

He climbed out of his titan as Gabi approached him.

"Promise me, Gabi, you will live a good life. Without any regrets or guilt."

Gabi screamed as her eyes opened to the blue sky. Her heart raced, her brain filled with that dream playing in the loop.

"What happened?" Falco asked, sitting next to her. Gabi sprung up, hugging him. "What happened?"

"I killed him. He-he.." Gabi started sobbing harder. She could taste blood in her mouth. Her sadness started boiling into anger. "Where is he? That trickster, devil, bastard." She screamed.

"I guess that memory was not pleasant," Eren said, sitting opposite them. His eyes and voice are devoid of any emotion. "Now you may regret trans…" Gabi punched him hard.

"I will kill you! You blackmailed my brother to give up."

"Gabi, stop.," Falco says as he tries to stop her. "Please don't fight with him; we need him."

"To hell with him." She turned around and punched Falco. "And to hell with your sanctuary." The boy fell straight to the ground. Gabi turned to Eren and punched her again. "You are the worst." Eren's eyes started glowing again. "What now? Will you make me insane, huh, like you threatened Reiner with?"

"Falco is bleeding."

Gabi looked at him, perplexed, before turning to Falco. His eyes were closed, and he was breathing heavily as a pool of blood formed around his head.

"No!" Gabi screamed, rushing to Falco. She lifted his head to see a sharp rock beneath it. "What have I done?" She looked at him with regret.

"I am fine." He said this as steam started to come out of the wound. "I will heal," he said, touching the back of his head, looking at his bloodstained fingers. "Just stop acting mad, please."

After an hour passed, the wound healed as Falco sat back up. Gabi smiled at him.

"Are you fine?" She asked him. Falco rubbed the back of his head as the wound healed fully.

"Yes, I am fine."

Gabi then looked at Eren, his head bowed down. Gabi got up and walked to him.

"You," she said with disgust, "what did you do with others?" The memories were burned into her mind; she could not unsee them. Now she wanted to know what happened to Pieck, Annie, and others. "Did you do such tricks with others?"

"You don't want to know," Eren told her.

"I do want to know." She sternly said,.

"I SAID YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" Eren shouted at her.

"I WANT TO KNOW. TELL ME. YOU DEVIL." She returned harder, startling Eren.

His temperament disappeared, tears falling from his eyes as the memories flashed before his eyes. "What, what do you want to see? How did I kill everyone?"

"Yes, we deserve it. We deserve closure. Falco deserve closure."

"No please." He broke down, sobbing hard. "Please don't make me relive those cursed moments. Please, I beg you."

Eren watched as Gabi gave a blank stare at him. But he knew that she was gaining enjoyment from it. She looked back at Falco.

"Yes, I want to see how my parents and friend died." She suddenly turns to Falco. "Don't you want to?"

Eren looks at him with pleading eyes.

"I.." He looked at Gabi, who was giving him a stern look. "I want to see it also." He, too, wanted to know what happened to everyone.

Eren remained silent for a few moments before he wiped his tears. "Fine, you want to see it. I will show you." He says it with a shaking voice. "Just hold my hands."

Gabi sat in front of him as Eren extended his hand. Gabi, in disgust, held it. Falco sat beside her and took Eren's other hand. His eyes glowed again before engulfing the two of them.
