I Love You... In Every Universe (AOT Alternative Universe)

78. Above and Below (Part 1 Last Chapter)

"Nicolo, stop!" Sasha said, holding him back with one hand as her another hand was still bandaged.

"I got so sick of listening to you taking about her everyday." Griez said. "I thought only her death would wake you up. But that whore didn't even die!"
.

Connie was glaring at him while Faye, Armin and Mikasa had furrowed their eyebrows.
.

"What did you just say?!" Nicolo yelled while Sasha was trying to calm him down.

"I'll make this simple for you." Griez said, looking down. "By killing that whore-"

Suddenly, Yelena pointed her gun at Griez's forehead and pulled the trigger.

All the children of Braus family cried out in horror as the lifeless body of Griez fell to the ground.

"Yelena?" Onyankopon exclaimed with surprise.

Yelena put her gun down. "I apologise for his rudeness. This island has no need for those who would deride you as demons. And I hope you can believe that our goal is nothing so petty as revenge against Marley."
.

All of them except for Mikasa, Armin and Faye were looking at her with wide eyes.
.

"Our goal is to sever the chains of hatred that bind this world and save both Eldia and Marley." Yelena explained. "Allow me to tell you the whole truth. No more secrets. Zeke's true goal is to save the world with his euthanasia plan."

Gabi was at a warehouse, hugging her knees, looking down with a dull expression. "Those filthy demons. How did it come to this?"

Gabi looked up and gasped as someone opened the door.

From the door, Eren and a Yeagerist entered the room.

"Hey, the kid from Marley." Eren said in a frightening tone.

Gabi straightened up, frightened. "What do you want?"

"You'll be able to save Falco if you cooperate with me." Eren said.

Gabi gasped with teary eyes. "Cooperate with you? How?"

"Call for help on the radio. Lure out your friends who've infiltrated the walls." Eren said.

Suddenly, Pieck in Survey Crops uniform entered the room.

She stabbed the Yeagerist on his neck with a knife and pointed her gun at Eren who didn't even flinch.

The Yeagerist's lifeless body slided down the wall.

"Don't move." Pieck said and looked at Gabi. "Gabi, be quite."

Gabi got teary eyed. "Miss Pieck!"

Pieck put her finger on her mouth, gesturing Gabi to shut up. "Quite!" She closed the door. "I assume you're Eren Yeager. Correct?"

Eren fully turned to her, hands in his pockets.

Gabi was shaking in fear.

"Gabi, point that rifle at Eren." Pieck said.

Gabi just stared at her and didn't move.

Pieck looked at her. "Gabi!"

Gabi crawled to the rifle and pointed it at Eren.

Pieck turned to Eren. "Eren, take your hands out of your pockets."

"What happens if I don't?" Eren asked in a frightening tone.

"I'll pull the trigger." Pieck said. "Your brains splatter across the floor. Ever seen it? You won't have time to turn into a Titan."

"And? You're still not shooting?" Eren asked. "If you're not gonna pull that trigger right now, why'd you even come here? What happens if I keep my hands in my pockets?"
