Eren's POV:
I watched slowly as Zeke pelts rocks at Reiner and Y/N. My blood began to boil as this wasn't part of the plan at all. I had to keep going, and push forward, but I will need to make it up to her later. What pissed me off more was her getting pelted by rocks again. The first time was maybe she was in the way, but nothing was near her, and she was about to get pelted again! I clenched my jaw, as I continued to move forward, but was nervous since Zeke was shot down.
Y/N's POV:
I watched as Eren continued walking, but was stopped by the Jaw Titan biting his leg. Eren then raises his arm and began to beat the shit out of his nape, and when he went for another hit, he was shot once again. I watched as Eren was fighting Reiner again, but watched as that bastard Zeke was still alive. He started to get up, and was about to let out a titan scream, but Eren and I raised our arms out.
"WAIT!" We shouted. Suddenly the two Marylans standing in front of Zeke pleading for him to not scream. I couldn't hear from the two, but I could understand the facial expressions.
"Oh, Colt. You care deeply for your little brother just like I do. I understand, and I'm so sorry." Zeke sighed, and began that damn scream. I was so pissed, and began charging at Zeke before Eren grabs my leg.
"LET ME GO YOU BASTARD!" I shouted. Eren then uses the War Hammers ability on me, sticking me into place by stabbing me. "EREN!!" I screamed, and let out a titan roar. I watched as the people who drank the wine, turned into titans.
"Falco, Take him." Zeke sighed, as the titan kid ran after Reiner, and got pinned down as well alongside with Eren fighting him. I screamed and roared trying to break free from this pillar of pain. I saw Eren kick Reiner back, but I swung my free leg, kicking him back, and Reiner grabs his leg. They both were fighting as the Cart shot another bullet at Zeke. Suddenly, I watched the Falco kid, run towards the still alive Jaw and eat him. My eyes widened is shock. Then, Reiner, out of pure anger, punches Eren in the jaw, but Eren had an ace up his damn sleeve. He chomps down on his hand and quickly hardened his whole Titan and begins to run towards Zeke.
"NO YOU DON'T, BASTARD!!!" I shouted, ripping out of my Titan form and tackling Eren to the ground.
"Y/N! GET OFF! I NEED TO GET TO ZEKE!" Eren yells, throwing me off, running towards him.
"I WONT LET YOU!! YOU GOD DAMN TRAITOR!!!!" I shouted, as bolts of lightning strike around me, but nothing happened. I charged towards Eren, as Reiner breaks out of the crystal, then goes to pick us up both, but was stopped by thunder spears.
"Y/N! PLEASE! JUST STAND BACK!" He warns, running as I'm trailing behind.
"I'M GOING TO KILL ZEKE BEFORE YOU GET TO HIM!!!" I screamed, as the floor began to crystallize, and I slid towards Zeke. Eren's eyes began to widened, and glow in anger as he began to run faster.
"RUN! YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!" Zeke shouts, holding his hand out to him. We were both neck and neck as I was sliding on forming crystals on the floor and him on a barefoot sprint. But, suddenly. . . As if it were a movie. . . Everything began to move slow as we both turned to see Gabi, holding a sniper, Eren being quick thinking, holds me close as Gabi's eyes widened and sheds a tear, shooting our heads clean off.
Flashback: Eren's POV:
I walked towards our meeting spot with Zeke, as he told me to not bring Y/N with me because it was a more private conversation. I couldn't bring her along anyway due to the fact she had gone to bed, due to her overnight shift that cause to stay up a whole twenty-four hours.
"First of all, thanks, for agreeing to meet with me. Did you bring her?" Zeke asks.
"No." I bluntly stated.
"Good, I'm glad we're getting to talk. You spoke with Yelena, which means you know where I stand. The Eldian euthanization plan. Do you support it or not?" He asks me, as I looked up to the sky.
"Four years back, something happened to open one of our dad's memories to me. I relived his memory of the night he slaughtered the royal family of the walls, and help the L/N's with Y/N acquiring the Song Titan." I sighed, looking at my hand. "He crushed their little kids. Smeared them like bugs. I felt their bodies break. If those kids had lived, the royal family would've reclaimed the Founder and killed Y/N when they had the chance. Then bound to the vow renouncing war, humanity inside of the walls would've lost any chance of surviving. The deaths of those children are what allowed us to live." I grumbled, as Zeke turned a bit.
"Interesting. So does that mean you agree with him? Think he did the right thing?" Zeke questions.
"No. Our old man was mistaken." I started, as Zeke gasped. "What's more, I think it'd be fair to say that I'm just another mistake of his, and Y/N is a mistake of her parents. If the Eldians in this town had never been born, then none of them would have to suffer and die in the plan that you and I are about to carry out. This world was never our birthright. It's a hell to be saved from. I'll do it Zeke." I explained, as we faced each other. "When the moment comes, I'll bring 2,000 long years of Titan domination to an end, and keep Y/N as safe as possible. Until then, we both keep moving forward. All right, brother?" I asked, watching Zeke starting to tear up.
"Yeah, Precisely. It's settled, then. Okay. I want nothing more than to shake your hand, Eren. But, well, it's best if we don't make physical contact yet. So, in lieu of that, I'll give you this." He explains, as he pulls out a baseball. "Eren. We're gonna save everyone. Including Y/N." Zeke said, tossing the ball towards me. I let it pass by me, as I looked down at it. "Let it slip past me. Guess I've gotten sluggish. All that time in the hospital." I sighed, grabbing the ball.
Present Still Eren's POV:
It felt like I was in a nightmare. I watched as all my memories and other memories fly past me, everyone I knew, everything I've done, past people have done that I've seen. It was all in an instant, but was soon ended as I opened my eyes to see a large tree thing, and a larger one behind the tree in front of me. 'Where am I?' My eyes widened and looked around harshly as I searched for Y/N.
"The Coordinate, where all Paths converge. That's my theory, but I quite don't understand the larger one behind the first one." Zeke explains as I turned around, looking at him as he is chained to the sand. "When members of the royal family inherited the Founder, and exercised it's power, I think it transported them to the plane we're on now." He explains.
"Hello, Brother." I greeted, bitterly.
"I've been waiting for so long, Eren. Sitting here alone in silence. Years running together. Wondering when you were finally going to wake up." He said, quietly.
"Are you telling me that we've been here for years?" I asked.
"That's a hard question to answer-" Zeke was cut off by a small voice.
"No. Zeke's soul has been in here for years, You've just arrived. . . Eren Yeager." The voice spoke. I looked around angrily, searching.
"Everything that happens here passes in an instant out there." Zeke explains, looking for the voice as well.
"Gabi blew our heads clean off." My eyes continued to search for the voice.
"But in those few moments, before your brain shut down completely, we made contact, alongside with her." Zeke explains. "Our plan was a success. The power of the Founding Titan. . . Is in our hands. I felt a presence, and looked towards the tree thing and saw two figures standing there, holding hands.
"Someone's here." I glared, as my eyes widened at the sight.
"The little girl isn't a threat to us. Don't worry, but, She is." Zeke explains. "She is the only person who can stop the plan completely." He continues. "That girl is the Founder Ymir." He finishes.
"That little girl is Ymir?" I asked, as I was trying to focus on why Y/N is here. "How do you know? And How's Y/N a threat." I glared, watching them walk towards us.
"That's the only thing that makes any sense. Who else would be wandering around in a place like this?" Zeke questions. "Plus, I will get to Y/N later." He glares. "The last time I came here, she reformed my broken body from the ground and returned me to life. I suspect she's been here for eons, sculpting Titans from the earth. Toiling away, spending years at a time molding their bodies, anytime we called upon their power." Zeke finished. Ymir and Y/N were now standing right in front of us.
"So she's been alone, trapped in this empty place." I sighed, as I turned to look at Y/N who was emotionless.
"Eren, You must command the Founder Ymir. At last, it's time for us to fulfill this dream we've been pursuing, but you must get Ymir away from Y/N." Zeke trembles. I gasped, then tried to change the subject.
"Those chains around your neck." I spoke up.
"I was starting to wonder if you were ever going to say anything about that. Well, even if it took a while, I appreciate your concern. These chains are what prevent me from using her power as I please. They're the vow renouncing war. As I thought, you're the only one with the ability to move freely here, except for her, which means you're the only one capable of taking command of the Founder's power." Zeke states. We stood there for a moment, as I looked at Y/N, tears slowly starting to form. "Do it, and fulfill the dream we shared. You, me, and Mister Ksaver. Please. Save our world, Eren." He pleads. I clenched my fits, as I felt Y/N's presences closer to me, as she grabs my hand. "Eren?" Zeke questions in shock. Y/N's touch soon reached to my shoulders, as I felt a wave of guilt travel over me. "Activate the power of the Founder, and get rid of Y/N." He protests. "Do what we came here to do. Have her take away every Eldian's ability to produce children! Once that's done you can use the rumbling to take out the Allied Forces." I turned away from Zeke, as Y/N wraps her arms around my waist, causing me to cry softly.
"Do you seriously believe I'd euthanized the Eldian people?" I growled in anger, as I brush my fingers through Y/N's hair, letting my emotions free.
"Eren. . ." Zeke gasped.
"What kind of person do you take me for?! I would never go along with that repulsive plan!" I shouted, tensing up, as Y/N's grip got tighter. "Sorry, Brother. I've been against you from the start. I was just playing along to make sure I'd get this far." I glared, as I walked towards Ymir, holding Y/N's hand. I heard Zeke sob behind us, as I listened to him speak.
"This world will be a living hell. As long as Eldian people are part of it! You have to do this now, or else the bloodshed will never stop. This cycle of killing we're caught up in will just keep repeating till the end of time! So why? Why won't you end it? Tell me! Is it because of that witch you're with!?" Zeke shouts, causing me to shout at him with anger.
"NO! 'Cause I have a right to live in the world I was born to!" I shouted. We stopped in front of the Founder.
"Founder Ymir. Grant me the power to protect our people." I asked, holding a hand out.
"GAH!-" Y/N shouts, as she gets chained to the sand.
"Y/N!" I shouted.
"I suspected as much, Eren. But I wanted to think that you, of all people, would understand. Can the scars that man left on your mind really be that deep!?" Zeke shouts, as I watched as Ymir sat in front of him.
"What's going on? Why isn't Ymir obeying me? And why did she lock Y/N on the sand?" I questioned loudly for Zeke to hear.
"In the years I spent waiting for you to wake up, I learned quite a bit. I learned that the Founder can make anything. She can even shape the earth into these chains. But only by the will of a person with royal blood, like me, or an L/N." He explained, as I quickly turned to Y/N who was still struggling to get up. "And unlike the Kings of the Walls. Who had this power before me, my mind was never tainted by the ideology of the first king. Thanks to that, during all that time I spent here with the Founder waiting for you to wake up, I discovered a way to nullify the vow renouncing war. Ymir has the power to do almost anything you can imagine, but as a slave she lacks the will to exercise that power for herself. She'll submit to anyone who bears Eldian royal blood in their veins and obey their orders without questions. In short, the Founder's power is mine alone." Zeke finishes.
"That can't be!" I shouted.
"You were no more than the key I needed to unlock that power, Eren." He pointed, as I looked at my arm to see it was chained up as well. "I waited to hear your true feelings, and that was the right decision." He explains, as I looked around in panic. "This is not your fault. It was our monster of a father who twisted you with his brainwashing, the same as he did with me. Your little girlfriend is part of this too. Anyway, Except, I had another father, who saved me from that misery. It might not have come to this if you'd had somebody to save you. I give you my word that I won't abandon you now. I promise, I'll use the power of the Founder to fix you!" Zeke yells.
"DON'T LET HIM GET INTO YOUR HEAD!!! EREN!!!" Y/N shouts from behind me, as I heard cracks and shaking from the chains.
"You're wasting your breath!" I glared. Suddenly, I heard trotting behind me, as I glanced behind to see Y/N running towards me.
"I AM GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD! AND I'LL SAVE IT WITH YOU!!" Zeke shouts, as I felt Y/N's hand on my leg as Zeke's, and I's heads collide together, causing sparks to fly around. . .
