New Years Eve, San Viento, 2004
The Plane Boat touched down in San Viento and laid out a red carpet for the Princess and Prince of Hizuru, Armin and Mikasa with their kids. The Hizuran royal marching band blew their horns to honor the crowned royals. One of them was blowing their horn to the tune of "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. The head of the band hit him with a trumpet.
"Billy, enough!" The band captain snapped. Armin and Mikasa walked down the aisle and approached Annie and Reiner with their son, Willy.
"Hey Armin, Mikasa, long time no see!" Annie greeted the royals with open arms.
"Great, Annie." Mikasa said to Annie. "Kids, get in the car." Everyone got in the Presidential Limo that would escort the group to see the New Years' Eve Fireworks.
"Hurry, driver!" Mikasa ordered. "I command you to take us to Battery Point so we can see the fireworks!"
"Very well then." Mikasa's driver obeyed her commands. He drove the group to Battery Point, where they could sit and watch the fireworks. Kyomi Azumabito greeted Mikasa with open arms.
"Mikasa, it's so good to see you!" She hugged Mikasa. Levi was there, still in his wheelchair, being pulled around by Gabi and Falco.
"Levi, are you excited for the New Years' Eve Fireworks?" Armin asked.
"Yes, I am sure they will be nice CLEAN fun." Levi's voice was hoarse and dull, but he still had his sense of humor.
"Good." Armin and Mikasa sat down, while the kids were playing in the dirt.
"Kids, stop that!" Mikasa pulled the kids by their ears. "When the fireworks are over, both of you shower!" The first firework shot up like a bolt of lightning, and it exploded in a bright green burst. The other fireworks exploded in bursts of purple, red, and blue. One firework was black and made of metal.
"What's with that black metal firework?" Willy asked.
"That's no firework, that's a ship!" It was a metal ship that hovered over the Red Steel Bridge and dropped a black tank of some sort with a red cockpit. Out of the tank came several soldiers in black uniforms with black gas masks. Their leader was a man in a long black coat that waved in the wind. He wore round glasses that stared into the hearts of Mikasa and Armin. He took off his wide brimmed fedora and introduced himself, bowing.
"Hello, boys and girls, It's the man of the hour, Milfred Mogul." His soldiers surrounded Kyomi.
"Stop!" Mikasa ordered. "As Princess of Hizuru I order you to stop!"
"Silence!" Milfred barked. "I am afraid we aren't in Hizuru, so you have no jurisdiction here." The guards had cornered Kyomi.
"OPEN FIRE!" Milfred ordered. The guards gunned Kyomi down, killing her.
"Come on boys, let's get back in the Mogul Tank and go down to Casa Mogul!" The minions and Mogul got back in the tank. The jet picked up the tank and flew away. Mikasa, Armin, and Annie held Kyomi's body and cried.
"Why, why why did you have to be taken from us?" Mikasa's tears rolled down from her eyes onto the grass and dirt, falling like rain. Armin's tears rolled from his eyes onto Mikasa's shoulder.
"I just became the prince, why did she have to die on me?" Armin was heartbroken. When the ball began to drop, it was 2005 and our heroes were off to a not so happy New Year.
The Funeral was held three days after New Years. Kenji Azumabito, one of the princes of the empire, began the funeral service.
"Friends, we are gathering to celebrate the life of our ambassador." Everyone was wearing white, since that was the Hizuran funeral color. "She was the string that connected Hizuru to the world, the voice of Hizuru's relationships with Eldia and Marley, as well as Cosska to the south. Her legacy will live on, may her rest in peace." Everyone clapped.
"Mommy, I want a dango." Kelly told her mom, Mikasa.
"Kyomi used to love dangos." Mikasa hugged Kelly.
Moments later, Armin stood outside the altar, staring at the sea.
"Something going on?" Mikasa asked.
"It's that Mogul guy." Armin answered. "He's not as bad as Eren, but he's still pretty wretched." Armin looked out at the roses in the garden below. "I am sure we will find him and beat him." Mikasa held her hand on Armin's shoulder, encouraging him.
"We will, because although the Scouts don't bang no more, an even greater force will rise." Armin and Mikasa were prepared to face Mogul wherever he nested.
