"Y/n, help me!" Marco desperately called out to the closest person he saw. Upon Y/n finding Marco being grabbed by a titan near that roof, the girl ran her way towards him. Her sword prepared.
But upon her reaching the last roof she saw Annie and Bertoldt just standing there. Y/n thought that they must've been to shocked or afraid to move. However, when both classmates turned to her, Reiner suddenly pinned her back on the roof tile. Y/n tried to fight back but bertoldt and Annie rushed to hold her down.
"What are you doing?! Marco's going to be eaten!" She writhed in desperation as she looked towards the other who she wanted to save.
"Y/n!" The freckled man's tears were mixed with fear and something else. The h/c haired female soon began to understand what look it was... the look of betrayal.
"Reiner! Bertoldt! Annie! Get off me, now!" She authoritatively screamed. Her feet looking for an opening to kick anyone of them.
Everything felt slow yet in almost an instant, Marco's scream disappeared. Y/n knew it was too late... yet also realized that something was wrong with these three people whom were still holding her down. All of them watched how it happened, drowning in both sorrow and guilt.
"Why?" Reiner quickly stood up as he shakily turned to the young victim being eaten.
The three looked at the blonde who looked very shock.
"Why is Marco... being eaten?"
Y/n felt her blood boiled the moment Reiner asked. Anger and frustration surged as she managed to shake off the two other who tried to hold her down.
"You shitty damn bastard." She made her way towards him and was about to punch his gutt. However, the taller friend of his, stopped her. "What the hell are you guys doing? Why did you allow Marco to die like this?" She asked.
"You're finally here, Y/n. We need to discuss what we're going to do now." Reiner suddenly spoke, seemingly to have escaped the trance of his other self.
The female's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?!"
"Y/n Ackerman... the crystal armored titan. You're a warrior like us."
"What?" She backed away. "What are you people talking about? Are you crazy? What nonesense is that?" The confused female started feeling pain in her own gut. Her temples and pulse pounding rapidly. Fear, anxiousness, denial and confusion.
"You are a warrior like us." Bertoldt gripped her shoulders tightly. "Might we remind you, Y/n. You're the one who chose to betray this place."
The girl glared at the taller man. "What are you talking about? I don't even remember a damn thing that I said anything about being a warrior."
Reiner grabbed her arm, his seemingly other personality glaring back at her. "You ran away. But now that we're able to have you back... you should probably be a better decoy." He said. The man suddenly pushed her from the roof when a titan suddenly came to grab her.
Shocked, afraid and in utter confusion, Y/n began to struggle as that titan tried to bit her arm off. However, she used the hilt of her sword and stopped it mid way from being chopped but the titan's teeth marked her arm as blood began to flow.
"Reiner, you bastard! What do you think you're doing?!" She asked, using her other free hand to slash through the titan's finger, cutting one that enable her to move a little more. With that small opening she managed to get out amd shoot her gear to the wall, allowing her to be pulled with it and miraculously escape the titan's grasp, but she slammed into the wall that caused little cracks.
She glared at the three who stood on the other side of the roof, watching her.
"This are your orders from him, Y/n Ackerman. Your job is to help us find the code and when things become suspicious, you are going to take the blame for being the colossal titan and rendezvous outside wall rose. Else, if you get captured, I don't think your life will be easier." Bertoldt spoke.
Y/n still couldn't believe what she's hearing as she held her injured arm. "Why the hell would I recieve orders from you?!" She asked.
"It's easier to twist the truth, Y/n. Everyone in the barracks knew that you disappeared for three years and was found roaming outside the walls. It's easier to pinpoint that you're a titan." Reiner explained. "And besides. If we get to have a nice agreement, I swear we will not hurt your friends and brother."
Y/n's heart pounded rapidly. "I'm not a titan Reiner, I can prove it." She hissed.
"Can you, now?" The blonde pointed to her arm. Y/n couldn't help but follow his direction only to see some crystal forming out of her skin, but just as quickly, it began to peel off. Y/n was left speechless, watching those shards fall off from the exact same spot where she hit the wall. It seemed to have acted as her cushion.
"Look Y/n. What we need is your cooperation. If things go smoothly then you can continue living your life as peaceful as it is." Bertoldt explained.
"Peaceful?" Y/n chuckled unhappily. Gritting her teeth as she ripped a piece of her blouse and wrapped it around her wound. "Is it so, Annie?" She asked.
The blonde female flinched, turning to Y/n wide eyed. Her lips trembled as obviously those look on her eyes told that she cried. The guilt and fear swarming up to her person that Y/n couldn't help but laugh.
"Y/n, you just have to follow orders. It's easier than the other way around. If you want to save yours and your loved ones' lives, cooperate." Bertoldt calmly explained. "If you don't believe what we're capable of doing, then we'll just have no choice but to push all blames on you. Especially when we can prove what you really are."
"How about you three? Don't you think the same rule applies to all of us?" The girl replied back.
Reiner smiled. "As I've thought." He said. "You seemed to have forgotten that you're the only one capable of doing that even in your human form. So we can't be suspected of lying, you would be."
The girl hissed. "You bastard." Unable to say anything more to her defense, Y/n just shoot up her maneuver gear and went towards the other titans to kill to let out her anger and frustration.
To think that there's something that's been revealed to her that she didn't know. She's never felt this threatened. In fact, she doesn't wish to care if someone threatened her about harming her loved ones.
Who would even try to kill Levi? Who would even know who Y/n holds dear aside from him?
But what scared her was Levi finding out the truth and not believing her.
The only one she can trust in this god forsaken world. She didn't want him to hate her, despise her and lose his faith to her.
No matter what the cause is.
She's started regretting why she didn't kill them as well. It must be because among her classmates in the barracks, Reiner and Bertoldt were the ones she's treated closer as friends and brothers and Annie has always been the one helping her in combat so she considered her as a friend and respected her skills.
But if these three are indeed titans, then there's a possibility that one of them are the cause of breach. If she disobeyed, the same thing might happen and her brother would be in danger as well.
All possibilities ran into her mind as she went on titan killing spree. Up till now she managed to kill three on her way towards the highest spot anyone from her class.
However, upon reaching the location, she stopped. Stunned to see something unexpected along the view...
A titan, killing another...
(And you know the rest of the story. Just add Y/n on the scenes tryna be lowkey.)
Year 850(is it still 850 when they fought with Zeke Yeager? Tell me. lol), the same time during the battle for reclaiming wall Maria.
The league of villains quietly sat on their lair.
Shigaraki sat on the stool, facing his refreshments quietly while Kurogiri was wiping the glass.
The bar was quiet while he watched a replay of the school festival. Especially, Y/n's matches. Up until now, the man couldn't believe that the female actually survived the USJ attack, attracting him more to this female survivor.
"She's definitely strong." He began to scratch his neck while his eyes focused on the screen where the 1-on-1 battle started.
But honestly, his favorite part was when she was flung around in the air by Mei's support items. He laughed so hard on that part, Kurogiri thinks he's at some point crazy, well, he is tho.
"If only she joined the league, everything would've gone smoothly." He said again.
The mist mom sighed. "I do agree, but how long are you going to replay that video?" He asked.
"Shut up, Kurogiri!"
Drip.
.
Drip.
.
Drip
.
Kurogiri frowned.
Drops of water began to fall from the ceiling. The counter top he just wiped clean started getting wet from that unending drips.
"It's not raining, but--"
Both Kurogiri and Shigaraki stood up from shock as the water magically dropped from the unbroken roof. What's more baffling is the body that went with it.
Both men watched it questioningly. This person with no limbs and arms, his eyes covered in what seemed to be a cloth and some skin from the side of his eyes seemed peeled off.
The two came closer with wonder. "Is he... still alive?"
The man groaned. His body, steaming from all of his hacked limbs and arms. His breathing was slow and his entirety wasn't something himanly possible to stay alive. Especially the blood he lost.
"H-help... me..." the man croaked with his dried vocals.
