Characters speaking
-- scene skips
Falco runs on screen in front of Reiner.
"Mr Braun" he starts panting but smiling.
"Where the hell have you been?" Gabi questions him.
"Where did Falco go?" Gabi wonders outloud.
"He seems too excited for him to have any bad intentions" Pieck notices. "Then again when does Falco ever have bad intentions"
He ignores her not even looking at her and continues his sentence standing straight and pointing left.
"Sir, do you mind coming with me?"
"This looks like what happened before Eren attacked Marley and Willy Tyber declared war, But where is Falco taking Reiner?
"Don't think there's time." he says with Zeke in the background, a cig in his mouth listening to the convo.
He brushes his statement off "you'll be fine the curtains won't go up for a few more minutes."
"You seem rather cooperative, you must know what Falco needs him for, care to share?" Porco asks, not liking the suspense.
The scene changes to Falco running; he then stops and points ahead of him. "Over this way"
"What's this about Falco?" Reiner asks, intrigued.
"You can see for yourself in a second" Falco replies running ahead, jubilant.
Reiner sighs and follows him before he stops as they get to some stairs leading to the basement. Falco in front of the door beckons him."It's through this door". "Okay." Reiner replies following him.
The scene changes again and a lantern is shown with two legs behind it, one of them chopped off below the knee.
"I got him to come!" Falco sounds absolutely proud of himself (this breaks my heart guys, he's an absolute sweetheart.)
Reiner is walking down the stairs and the man starts talking "Evening, it's been four years-" Reiner gasps recognising him, "-Reiner" he says and it zooms into his panicked eyes.
Eren is now shown on screen a tab bit hunched over, staring at him with one eye and his forehead bandaged a frown on his face.
"Eren!" He gasps bewildered.
--
The screen lights up showing Eren sitting on a chair leaning forward slightly, Reiner standing in front of his chair with a frown on his face, Falco in the middle of them leaning on the wall with a wavering smile on his face.
The screen then zooms in on Eren's face "Evening, it's been four years Reiner" he says and Reiner gasps his pupils dilated and shaking.
"Reiner, you met with Eren Yeager before Willy Tyber's speech?, why didn't you inform anyone" Mcgath asks Reiner who has started shaking recalling this conversation.
He points at the screen giving no other answer.
"Hey uh, what's wrong Mr Kruger said you were old friends and that he wanted to surprise you-" Falco, shocked at Reiner's response, looks to him for answers before turning to Eren as Reiner just stares in shock.
"-it's true, right? You two were friends?" He adds hand motions to emphasise his question.
"Yeah and we have a whole lot to catch up on" Eren replies as the screen moves on to show Falco's bewildered and scared face. Starting to place some pieces together
"I don't even know where to start" he finishes as Falco then looks at Reiner who is still panicking wondering what exactly the problem was.
"It can't be, Eren!" He starts off.
………….
The screen shows purple curtains before it cuts off and Eren's voice is heard again off screen. "Sit down Reiner."
It shows a birdseye view of the room, with Eren sitting on a chair towards the right of the room another chair opposite him is unoccupied with Reiner standing beside it. Falco is standing between them, close to the wall and table with their only light source. On the opposite side of the room tables, chairs and crates have been stacked.
"I found us good seats, you can hear everything that happens on stage, we're right beneath an apartment building-" and as he says this we see the building with people standing by the window looking outside.
"-it's behind the stage but still, it's full of excited families-" and a family is shown on screen, all of them looking out the window in anticipation.
"-waiting at their windows for the curtains to rise-" Reiner's face is shown horrified before it moves to Eren no emotion present on his face as he points upward.
"-they're all directly above us."
Falco turns to look at him and notices his bleeding palm. "Say Mr Kruger, did you cut your hand?"
"Eren, did you threaten Reiner to stay with innocent families?" Armin asks, shocked remembering the attack on shiganshina.
"Yeah it's just a scratch" he says but we can see a deep gash the blood drips all the way down his wrist.
"Reiner sit" he tells him sternly, almost like he's ordering a dog.
Reiner, absolutely terrified, sits down, resigning to his fate.
"So uh, I think I should head back to the others now." He tells Reiner.
Everyone notices the tension and stays silent wondering how this would play out.
"No Falco you should stay here and listen to us" he says as Falco turns to look at him surprised.
Reiner without looking at him holding his hand out in a stop motion. "Just do as he says alright"
"Kay"
…..
They appear on screen still in the same positions before it zooms in on Falco who glances up towards where the music is coming from before changing to Reiner who can't even look at anyone. Then gives us a side profile of Eren, his hair covering most of his face.
Then it zooms in on Reiner's lips as he speaks "Why Eren? Why come here, what do you plan to do?"
Falco looks like he's not even there as Eren replies "the exact same thing you did"
"No-i " Reiner clutches his head in his palms distressed.
"As for why that's the same too, I don't have a choice, that's why."
The scene changes to above, Willy is on stage bowing as the camera flashes non stop. We go back to the cellar, to see Eren look up towards the tiny window. "Sounds like the shows began, we should listen"
Willy appears on screen again "Let's pull back the view of time, ruffly a century ago, the Eldian empire ruled the world." It zooms out before moving to bandsmen banging drums, adding to the hostility.
"Humanity as we know it could go extinct three times over and the body count wouldn't match the number of lives the Titans have stolen, such is the legacy of the founder Ymir." As he talks the screen moves up, we see on the white background behind him titans eating people.
People are holding stick figures to a light which shows the Titans in the background.
The rest of his family watches him from the side.
Behind Willy, people appear, screaming and writhing covered in blood. "So much has been lost-" gabi, udo and Zofia appear on screen looking shocked before we move back to a close up of Willy's face. "-countless people and cultures wiped out, histories crushed underfoot with their pride."
Eren appears on screen, no emotion present on his face as Willy keeps speaking in the background. "Eldians history is all we have left, and in only terms of killing, you see-" Reiner is now shown still in the same position as before with his hand clutching his head before moving back to Willy and his back curtain.
"Once the Eldians ran out of foes to concur they began to fight among themselves vying for power, thus began the Great titan war." Instead of Willy we see men fighting with swords, axes and other weapons, King fritz watching in the background. We then see Gabi, Udo and Zofia again, their expressions more schooled.
"We saw eight of the nine titans locked in an endless cycle of bloodshed but there was one brilliant marlian who saw in this chaos a path to victory." As he speaks a man is on stage with short blood hair mostly hidden behind a black hat which also hides most of his face. He wore a blue outfit with yellow shoulder tassels paired with white pants holding what could have been a spear.
"He was the heroic paragon we all know as hellos, thanks to his cunning manipulation Eldian in fighting grew far worse." Willy appears briefly before the six people all battling each other appeared, one of them held the other in a choke, the other plunged his spear into another and the other was taken down by two daggers being stabbed into his side by his opponent.
"Is this the history the Eldians and Marlians are taught about?" Some scouts wonder never having been given the detail of why exactly they were devils.
"The empire grew weak, then Helios joined hand with the Tyber family and they forced the supposedly unbeatable King Fritz to retreat to a far flung island." On screen we see king fritz knees and gand on the ground, his eyes bound in cloth, in front of him was his crown. Helios puts his leg on the king, standing beside who we can assume to be the leader of the Tyber family. Their fists touch as they hold their weapons in their other hands.the people clap happy so far
"That said he fled with his powers intact and his reign continued." Willy is shown before king fritz is seen with his back towards us as he puts on his crown.
"With him he took tens of millions of titans ready to trample the world at his command." We see the background zoom out, the colossal titans all behind the king. The people gasp at this revelation.
"It's believed that our world continues to exist for one reason alone, chance." We move back to Willy as he talks before slowly panning over the kids looking as stoic as ever. "Our scholars can feel no better explanation, in order to fight this existential threat, my motherland Marley sent a team of four titan warriors to take the founder but they were soundly beaten and only the armour returned." It pans over the generals before showing us Reiner's mother and Annie's dad.
"It's clear now, the ancient engine of cruelty called the eldian empire is alive and well today." Willy states before we go back to Reiner and Eren this time viewing their side profiles from the otherside. "Honestly, it makes sense, I get why you plunged my home into hell, you were on a mission to save the world, so you and to." Eren says no sound of anger or any other emotion in his voice.
'Okay what's going on here, why does vice chief Braun seem so afraid?' Falco thinks to himself standing in the same place he was in. "Mr. Kruger said they were old friends but-" the realisation hits him. "-old friends?!, just how many years has he known him?, if it's more than four then they met in paradise." He looks at Eren 'wait that can't be right cause if it is, flashback to when Reiner came in saying "it can't be", oh no'
