You Are Free

Chapter 10 Calm Before the Storm

"So that's why..." Mikasa says. "To think you have suffered this much. But the path you're taking right now, who will die and who will live?"

"I don't know, but I can ensure that you two are going to be alive and so am I." Eren says. "I promise that I'm going to be Ymir's father, and I'm going to make sure that she deserves a happy life without our enemies harming her. And by promising her that, she breaks the vow of renouncing war and letting me have the full power of the Founding Titan."

Historia says, "With the full power of the Founding Titan, Eren manages to turn the Titans back to normal people, and we have our own soldiers: The Yeagerists. After the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers' arrival, Gloria secretly meets us and tells us what she knows about the Eldia Empire and the power of the nine Royal families. And surprisingly, the Yeager Family is actually one of the Royal Families."

"If someone from the Royal Family gets the right Titan, they won't actually die from the 13-year curse." Eren says, "In other words, I won't die after 5 years."

"Really?" Mikasa is a little delighted, and Eren says, "And since I have the ability to see the future, I of course know what Zeke's plan is. He wants the Founder to make every Eldian unable to bear children, that way, Eldians will slowly die out. Of course, I refuse that plan, because we are born into this world, and the world won't wait for that to happen."

Historia says, "And fortunately, none of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers know about this, so with the help from Onyankopon, Nicolo, and some of the volunteers, we decide to share our plan to do the full rumbling with them. We also promise them that if they are willing to help us out, we will bring their families to the island, and once the Rumbling is complete, they will be able to have their homeland all by themselves. We also have them to keep a secret from Yelena, because she is quite crazy and won't hesitate to kill after all."

"However, some of them are still begging not to do the Rumbling, so we also promise them that we will try negotiating with the other nations and hoping they would want peace." Eren says. "I'm sorry that I left that day, but Gloria and the others were waiting for me so we could travel to the other nations. Since Gloria is from the Tybur Family, she knows a lot of important figures from other nations. However, when we try to offer peace, do you know what their answer is?"

Mikasa says, "You said that it is a failure..."

"Not only it is a failure, but 20 of our soldiers were also sacrificed for the sake of our escape and safety." Eren frowns. "They never wanted to have a deal with the devils, and they all wanted to eliminate us as soon as possible. Our negotiations failed in the end, to the extent that not Armin's speech would be able to turn the tides."

Eren clenches his fists and says, "And do you know what causes me to transform and kill the people that day in Liberio? Because of Gloria's uncle, Willy Tybur. He gathers all the nations that refuse to gain peace with us, he reveals to them how we lose our memories, and how the great Titan war ended because of the first Reiss King. You would think that he was trying to speak good things to us and learn that we Eldians are not that bad. But no, he decides to use me as an excuse to have all of the nations start a war with our island."

Historia says, "I've heard everything from Gloria. Because of the uprising, they thought that the peace made by the first Reiss King was broken and the world was in great peril. And to make sure the world becomes their ally, they also set bombs at the audience seats and the escape carriages, so they can explode once we started to attack them. They knew you were going to attack during the speech."

Eren says, "I was really mad, they were the ones who forced Eldians to fight a war for them, they were the ones who made the world hated Eldians more and more, and yet they were doing this... That's why I have no choice but to unleash the Rumbling. For our island and for the hatred to end once and for all."

"But what about the innocent people?" Mikasa asks with a frown. "It was just like Armin said, there are still innocent people as well."

"Thanks to Aya Neumann, she was able to convince some of the Hizuru's pilots, when the Rumbling is going on, they would try to bring children to their own flying ships so that they would be saved. The Colossal Titans might be tall, but those flying boats can actually fly higher. Besides, the only place which didn't have a flying boat was Paradis Island. Other nations already have weapons that can counter the Rumbling and they also have the Flying boats to bring their own people to safety, that is if they're not selfish to abandon the innocents." Historia says.

"In those future memories, I found myself moving forward with the other Colossal Titans, that's one of the reasons why I got myself killed in the end. Thanks to Peter and Odom, they informed me that I don't need to go with the Colossal Titan when the Rumbling was activated, what I'm doing is just opening a gate filled with unknowns. Will the Rumbling be successful? I don't know the answer to that." Eren says.

Mikasa can only sigh as she asks, "But if the Rumbling succeeds, what about the military? Premier Zachary and the Military were willing to pick another person to inherit your Titan...That's why you killed the premier, right?"

"Yes, and the wine with Zeke's Spinal fluid, although that wasn't actually in my plan, once they turned into Titans, the Founding Titan can overrule Zeke's control." Eren says. "They would be helping us fight against Marley, and of course, I can also turn them back to normal as well."

"You're right about that. But if they return back to normal, what if they are still going to go against you?" Historia asks.

"They won't be able to. Because I've already gotten the people's support." Eren says. "Being a doctor around the places really benefits a lot."

"You say that Marley is coming to fight us." Historia says. "When will they arrive and do you have enough soldiers to fight against them?"

Eren says, "I can use the Founding Titan to subdue them, but not all of their soldiers are Eldians like us, and they also have Anti-Titan weapons that can harm and almost kill our people, so we will need to act as quickly as possible. As for when I'm pretty sure that they are already on the island waiting for the signal to strike. But I'm pretty sure where their spy is hiding."

Mikasa says, "I'll also join the fight as well."

"That will be nice." Eren says. "As for you, Historia. Be sure not to do anything to harm our baby."

"Of course I won't." Historia says, "Promise me that you'll be back alive."

"I promise." Eren says.

And here is a new chapter, this chapter is basically the talk with Mikasa and Historia at the same time. I hope you like this chapter and that the next chapter will begin the battle. Also, I realize there are some hateful reviews about my whole story, I can only say that if you don't like my plot then don't read it, this is the full Rumbling story and Eren is going to win in this one.
