Eren hits Reiner's Titan face. The land explodes due to the amount of weight that just fell. The Colossal Titan looks down at the debris as the ground's dirt flew everywhere. From where Mikasa hangs, she searches through the dirt, mutter.
[Mikasa]: Eren! (Y/n)!..-She growls and looks back up at the wall, mentally cursing herself- If only...If only I'd cut off their heads! That was the perfect chance! I should've been able to do it, so why?!..-She looks away from the wall and looks back down at the dust- That was it. There won't be another chance!..
Up at the wall, the Colossal Titan moves its hand, making Hanji furrow her eyebrows.
[Hanji]: Everyone, jump away from the wall!..-She orders-
As Bertolt goes to swing his hand at them, the soldiers quickly move while a soldier goes and picks Historia up. Historia looks down with worry, screaming.
[Historia]: It got Ymir!..-A soldier gasps, noticing another soldier in the Titan's hand-
[Soldier]: And somebody else, too!...-The Colossal Titan opens its mouth and throws the two in before shutting it close- He ate 'em!..
Historia turns pale, widening her eyes even more. Hanji and the others land on the side of the wall.
[Armin]: Th-This can't be...-Armin muttered- Bertolt..-Historia couldn't process what just happen. Ymir, was eaten by the Colossal Titan. Hanji glares up at Bertolt, yelling to everyone-
[Hanji]: All soldiers, prepare to attack! We're taking down the Colossal Titan! It's a threat to all of humanity!..-She then starts to fly herself up there, along with Moblit and the soldiers-Swarm the huge bastard!..
As they reach back up on the wall, the Colossal Titan swings its arm at them, attempting to punch them, but Hanji and the soldiers fly past it while Bertolt uses his free arm, attempting once again, to attack them. They dodge by an inch as a soldier circles its arm and flies up to its face as Bertolt watches the soldier staring at him.
[Soldiers]: Just like the reports said, he's slow! It might be big, but that's it! Compared to the Titans we normally fight, thistle be easy! We've got this!..-The soldiers all begin to raise their blades and zoom down at the nape while Hanji announces-
[Hanji]: Now's our chance! Slice up his neck!..-But to their dismay, hot steam erupts on its back, making soldiers lose focus all fly off- Everyone, fall back!..-Hanji screams as she and the soldiers get launched out and roll on the wall-
[Soldier]: My hand!..-A soldier hissed. Instantly, another soldiers yells-
[Soldier 2]: Water! Bring water!..
[Hanji]: He's trying to disappear again?..-Hanji growled, raising her blades again as Armin, who had landed on the wall as well, turns his head slightly-
[Armin]: No, something is different. The last time he vanished instantly, but now, he's maintaining his form and emitting heat like a furnace. If he keep protecting himself with steam...-Armin uses one of his wires to see if it'll get closer to Bertolt, but it bounces back as he brings to wire back inside his gear- We're unable to attack him with ODM gear! Wh-What do we do?!..
[Hanji]: We can't do anything..-She answers- We wait..-Hanji then begins to walk, yelling to everyone- Squads three and four, take position behind the target. Rashad has command...
[Rashad]: Got it!..
[Hanji]: Squad two will wait here. Lauda is in command...
[Lauda]: Understood!..
[Hanji]: It's yet to be seen how long he can keep his body burning, but...eventually he has to come out. We wait for that moment to attack. Listen up. Forget about capturing them. Kill 'em... and don't hesitate!..-Hanji turns her head to see Armin had his eyes widen at her statement- Armin... and squad one follow me!..-She then jumps off the wall along with Armin and squad one- We've got a date with the Armored Titan!..
While they descend downwards, Connie and Historia drag and carry unconscious bodies.
[Connie]: Hot!..-Shrieked Connie as a soldier exclaims-
[??]: Christa! Connie! Get further back! And take care of those two injured soldiers..
[Historia]: Ymir can't possibly be dead yet..Please... Rescue her!..-Tears were in the edge of her eyes as the soldier looks down at her-
[??]: Right..-Then, the soldier takes her leave, before Connie yells-
[Connie]: Where are Reiner and Bertolt?!..-The soldier turns to him with her mouth slightly parted as Connie continues to yell- They don't have their ODM gear either! Please, go find and help those two!..
Eren throws some punches at the Armored Titan before his right hand flies off of his arm. The Armored Titan then punched Eren's face, sending him flying off and landing on the ground. Eren's body of the Titan did not move, but a small body was sticking out through the hair of the Titan.
(Y/n) coughed as blood came out of her head, she shook her head to clear her sight, used her equipment to fly and land on Eren's Titan body. Her eyes widened as she saw the Armored Titan slowly approaching.
[Y/n]: Damn..-She growls as she flies towards the Armored Titan. When she got very close to him, (Y/n) brought her hand to his mouth and bit down hard, causing an electric field to appear. When she transformed into a Titan, she gets into a fighting stance, protecting Eren from the Armored Titan-
She attacks him first and punches him in the face. Reiner was going to hit her but she dodged in time as he took the opportunity to kick her in the body. As the two continue to fight, Eren goes into thought about Reiner, growling venomously.
[Eren]: You shit... You big piece of shit. And here you wouldn't shut up about a soldier's duty... During close combat training, were you always holding back on me? You're so strong, it's ridiculous..I can't even move an inch of my body. I always thought you were a stand-up guy. Someone who remained calm, regardless of the situation... A guy who puts your comrades ahead of yourself... And I...To think at one time I wished... to be as strong as you someday..
(Y/n) was going to attack Reiner, but she stops when she saw Mikasa attempting to slice the nape off. Her blades snap in two as she glares behind Reiner's head.
[Mikasa]: That did nothing! Eren's attack didn't...And my blades don't work either?! What's worse, unlike Annie, his whole body is hard!..-She then reloads her blades- Eren! (Y/n)!..-Eren's eyes glowed as inside of his Titan body-
[Eren]: Hey, Reiner...-His hand regenerates- I don't know what kind of face you're making right now, but...You guys...You really are the worst pieces of shit. I bet in the history of mankind, nobody's done anything as terrible as you..-He begins to raise up from the ground as Mikasa rapidly stabs Reiner's armor. Reiner raises her fist to hit (Y/n)'s face, she raised her arms to protect herself from him before Reiner attacked her-
[Eren]: I've gotta erase you. You shouldn't be allowed to exist anymore. What the hell are you thinking? I've never felt so revolted before. Just remembering you and your self-righteous face is making me sick..-Mikasa's mouth drops- It makes me want to vomit. You.. big damn pest!..-Eren roars as this cues Mikasa to fly off. Eren raises his fist as his green-pierced eyes glare at Reiner- It's time to exterminate you!..
He then punches his face until Reiner punches him back, sending him flying in the air. (Y/n) gasps seeing Eren fall as Reiner turns towards her and punches her in the face, sending her body flying into the air.
›–––––––‹
[Eren]: Damn, that hurt, Annie! Haven't you ever heard the concept of pulling your punches?..-Eren falls on his back and inhales sharply. Beside her, (Y/n) was rubbing her butt because of the hard fall she had for Annie-
[Y/n]: Annie! That blow hurt me...-She complains, looking at her-
[Annie]: I did it because you're coming at me full-force. I've gotta respond with equal strength of my own. And if you're a guy...aren't you...supposed to be gentle with this delicate body of mine?..-She shrugs- (Y/n), you have to learn to dodge and counterattack, you are very impulsive in combat, just like Eren..
[Eren]: Huh? Your jokes aren't funny at all. If strength is the deciding factor, then why are we on our asses and you're still standing?..-Annie looks over as Eren and (Y/n) get up from the ground-
[Annie]: Well...-She starts to get closer to the two, causing both (Y/n) and Eren to back away- I didn't throw them using my strength..-She places a hand on her hip, leaning her body on her right leg- It's a technique used to protect yourself against an opponent stronger than you..-Annie gets into a stance, making Eren and (Y/n) flinch a bit- If I were you, I'd think about learning it..-Eren groans, rolling his eyes-
[Eren]: Alright, already! Why don't we take a break?..
As Annie goes to throw a punch at Eren, it cuts him off guard as he starts to fall back, giving Annie the opportunity to hold his neck and right arm. Eren struggles in her grip as Annie continues to hold him down.
(Y/n) opens her eyes when she has the opportunity to attack her now that she has her attention on Eren, she quickly runs behind Annie and grabs her by the neck, making her look over her shoulder.
[Y/n]: Annie, if you have two opponents against you, never ignore one...-She murmured close to her ear before pushing her back, while tightening her hold on Annie's neck-
The three of them fell to the ground, Annie let go of Eren for a moment, who took a deep breath. (Y/n) gasped as Annie released herself from her grasp, then grabbed them both by the throats.
[Eren]: Annie! Surrender! I surrender!..-He wheezed. Annie cocks an eyebrow-
[Y/n]: Annie!.. Surrender...-She shouted too-
[Annie]: Surrender? Try to learn something first before your surrender. Learn how to use your strength and the proper way to speak to women!..
[Eren]: Alright! I promise I'll learn, so let go already!..
[Y/n]: Annie, you can let go of me now, I can't breathe...
[Annie]: Yeah? Do you want to learn that badly?..-She questioned, until the sound of Reinr groaning causes her let go of Eren and (Y/n). She looks up to see Reiner flying down towards her. Annie quickly lets go and jumps up, leaving Eren merciless. Reiner falls on top of Eren as he lets out a loud groan, making people stop their training. Eren sits himself up to see Reiner shaking, questioning-
[Eren]: Why the hell did Reiner come flying this way?..
[Y/n]: How lucky for me...-She said with a smile of relief as she stood up-
[Mikasa]: Hey, Annie..-The sound of Mikasa's voice makes him turn as she begins to walk over- I wanna learn that move, too. Show me...
[Annie]: I don't know...That move is meant to be used against humans, so I don't think you have any use for it. But... I'm interested to see if it works...on a beast like you..-People start to gather around as Eren mutters-
[Eren]: Are you serious? It's happening...
Connie, Sasha and Armin come running in as Connie screams.
[Connie]: Hey, hey! Are they going at it?..-Connie asks-
[Sasha]: It's the big showdown!..
[...]:..Who'll win?!...
[Marco]: Annie, you think?..
[Jean]: Huh? Are you stupid?! I bet my whole dinner on Mikasa!..
[Reiner]: What do you two think, Eren, (Y/n)?..-Reiner groaned. Eren and (Y/n) quickly look at him-
[Eren and Y/n]: Us?...-They pointed at each other- Which one...?...
›–––––––‹
[Eren]: Huh? How did that turn out in the end? No... Why am I remembering it now? Is this what they call having your life flash before your eyes? Actually, who gives a shit anymore?..-Eren got up quickly as steam poured from his wounds. He stands up, his Titan hair covering his face of him- I don't think I've felt... this awful in my whole life..
From the wall, Armin calls out to the two when he notices Reiner getting closer.
[Armin]: Eren! (Y/n)! Don't do it! You guys can't win in a slugfest! Run this way! Eren! (Y/n)! Don't try to fight him!..
Though, they don't seem to hear him while Mikasa lands on the grass, glaring at her broken blades until she heard the sound of Eren's roar.
[Mikasa]: Eren! (Y/n)!..-Eren goes to punch Reiner as Armin mutters-
[Armin]: This is bad!..
(Y/n) stands up from the ground as steam surrounded her Titan body, she looked towards Reiner, who was behind her as she walked towards Eren.
[Hanji]: Did they lose control?!..-Hanji asked. As Reiner goes to punch his face de él, Eren quickly dodged and used the technique Annie used on him and did it to Reiner. (Y/n) quickly ran towards them, attracting Hanji's attention- (Y/n)?...
(Y/n) lets out a roar as she grabs Reiner by the neck, pushing him back. The body of the Armored Titan fell on top of her as Eren had Reiner pinned as he began thinking.
[??]: They threw the Armored Titan!..-A soldier screeched-
[Armin]: Wait..Isn't that...the technique Annie used?..-Armin thought, Eren was holding the arms of the Armored Titan while (Y/n) tightened the Armored Titan's neck, just like she did with Annie when she was the Female Titan-
[Eren]: I don't know what the hell you guys are trying to accomplish by doing this, but...Now that I think of it, your plan has been full of flaws from the start!..-
Eren raised his arm as the Armored Titan struggled against (Y/n)'s grasp but Reiner pushed Eren to the side before breaking (Y/n)'s arms, causing her blood to spurt. (Y/n) gritted her teeth furiously, frowning at the Armored Titan.
[Eren]: Your biggest mistake was this!..-He locked his legs around his neck and held his arm tightly, making Reiner turn and struggle- You should've thought twice about teaching me how to fight!..-While Eren squeezes Reiner's Titan head close, the armor begins to break and blood starts to spill everywhere- It's working! I've got him now! I still have a chance!..
Reiner tries to rip Eren's leg off, but he was quicker and knocked him to the ground, trying to restrain him.
[Eren]: Think again!..-Mikasa starts to run, yelling-
[Mikasa]: (Y/n)! Eren!..
[Eren]: You're not getting away from this!..-Eren goes and grabs Reiner's arm, pulling it while roaring. He finally rips it off as this makes Reiner slightly hiss in pain. The arm lands a few feet away from Mikasa as she mumbles-
[Mikasa]: They did it!..-Armin flies down and watches the scene closer while Reiner gets up, looking at his now missing arm. (Y/n) and Eren get into an attack position, (Y/n)'s arms quickly regenerated before hearing Armin yell-
[Armin]: Eren! (Y/N)! Can you hear me?!..-They look down to see Mikasa and Armin close by as the boy stated- Run away! Get closer to the wall! Their goal is to kidnap and take you two away! We've gotta escape and prevent that from happening!..-Mikasa turns to Armin, retorting-
[Mikasa]: But, Armin, Reiner isn't going to let us do as we please!..-The two turn to see Reiner standing up. A soldier descends down and approaches the two-
[Soldier]: It's dangerous here! Get back, you two!..-Reluctantly, Armin falls back, but Mikasa looks at the two before trailing behind. Reiner begins to take steps as the two straighten their stance. As Mikasa flies back to the wall, she notices two big shadows that were heading towards the wall-
Armin turns his head to see (Y/n) next to Eren leaning against the wall, looking towards Reiner as a soldier cheered them on.
[Soldier]: Nice one you two! Good call!..
[Mikasa]: He's back in control again...-Mikasa mutters to Armin, gesturing her head towards Eren-
[Armin]: Yeah, but like you were saying, it'll be almost impossible to escape Reiner...
While Reiner starts to walk towards the two, Hannes and a Garrison member fly up from the other side of the wall and looks over, gasping when noticing the deteriorating Colossal Titan.
[Hannes]: What the hell?..-He lands next to Historia, mumbling to himself- I knew it... The Colossal Titan. Why did that bastard show up here?!..-Historia looks at Hannes as he turns to her, asking- Where's Eren and (Y/n)? What's the situation?..-Historia points to her right-
[Historia]: Eren, (Y/n), and the others are that way!..
Hannes looks down from the ledge to see Hanji landing on Eren's shoulder, making the two turn their heads.
[Hannes]: (Y/n)?! Eren?! Is that Eren and (Y/n)'s Titan form?..
[Hanji]: Listen up, you two. If you're gonna escape, we've got to find a way to halt Reiner and buy you two some time! Can you break his legs with another one of those joint locks?..-Hanji starts to question Eren- Our blades don't seem to work on him, so use your heads and figure out the best course of action!..
They turn back at her and nod as this starts to making Hanji blush and mouth drop with excitement. Mikasa, on the other hand, just stares at her with dead eyes and only blinks.
[Armin]: Mikasa!..-She blinks again and turns to Armin- Use these. It's the rest of my blades...-Armin urged, handing her the blades-
[Hanji]: I'm counting on you guys! ..- Hanji waved, departing and flying herself on the side wall. (Y/n) and Eren looked towards Reiner and placed themselves in the same stance as before-
[Eren]: This time, running away is a guaranteed victory. It's you guys that are screwed for revealing what you are. You're the ones backed into a corner..-Eren thought as the two jump a bit at Reiner's charge-
One of the armor pieces in his leg broke off as Reiner runs at them with full speed and tackles them against the wall. They fall on the ground, making Reiner use his free arm and punches either one of them, but they both dodge at the same time.
[Eren]: Shit! Leg! His leg!..
Eren goes to grab the broken armored piece leg while Reiner continues to throw punches at them as they dodge.
[Armin]: Don't stay on the ground! Guys!..-Armin screeches along with Mikasa-
[Mikasa]: Stand up!..
Like so, Eren then kicks Reiner off of them as they go back against the wall.
[Y/N]: Dammit! His tackle is too much to handle!..-She mentally curses as the two began to move away from Reiner. Hanji, Armin, Mikasa, and her group fly from above while one curses-
[??]: Shit... Since when could he move so quick? Are we completely useless here?!..-Hanji shakes her head-
[Hanji]: No...If his entire body was hard like stone, there's no way he could move like that. In the armor, they used in wars of the past, it had sections at the joints not covered in metal to allow for movement. Like at the armpits and groin...And also... the spot behind the knee..-Mikasa looks away from Hanji and back at the two as she witnesses Reiner charging at them yet again-
[Eren]: We can't evade it...Since we'll get knocked over anyways ... Bring it!..-Eren contemplated as the two get tackled. Reiner grabbed (Y/n)'s neck while Eren locked his legs on the Armored Titan's head- Gimme that neck! You're mine!..-Eren lets out a roar as the group watches-
[Soldier]: Yeah! That's it, Eren!..
[Y/N]: Shit, I can't move..-She thinks, as she struggles to free herself from the Armored Titan's clutches-
[Eren]: I've got 'em! Now it's a battle of strength!..-After a few moments, Reiner lets go out of pure instinct and tries to escape from Eren's grasp. At this moment, Mikasa goes down holding the new blades she got from Armin- This freak...Not enough!..
Finally, Mikasa flies down and cuts the tendon behind the knee as Reiner's go limp. Mikasa then lands to the nearest tree as thes strength Reiner had, slowly disappeared.
[Y/n]: Mikasa..
[Hanji]: She cut him!..
[Eren]: He can't fight back as much anymore!..-Eren tightens the grip around Reiner's neck. His armor starts to break, making Armin scream-
[Armin]: You've got this!..
[Soldier]: Go for it, guys!..
[Soldier 2]: Tear the head and arms off! Pull the traitor outta there!..
[Eren]: We can win! Against Reiner... we can win!..
Suddenly, Reiner's Titan teeth begin to shatter. He then starts to drag them somewhere with the remaining strength he has within him.
[Armin]: Wh-What the--?
[Soldier]: Heh, it's useless..
[Soldier 2]: Keep at it! Don't let up!..
As the two got dragged, Reiner's armor was breaking more and more until the Armored Titan came to a stop, falling to the ground next to (Y/n) and Eren.
[Armin]: He stopped...But why there?..-Armin then looks up while Reiner struggles to lifts his head. Once he was able to though, he roared loudly. (Y/n) and Eren looked at him confused while Armin rips away from above. Hanji studies what just happened before gasping-
[Hanji]: Be on your guard! He's calling in Titans!..-But none came as a soldier landed beside Hanji-
[Soldier]: No other Titans spotted in the area! What a useless struggle...
[??]: Try screaming for help with your head ripped off, you idiot! Look, he's tearing it off!..
Then, blood starts to spew everywhere as from above, Connie mutters to Historia.
[Connie]: What's with the Armored Titan? Why'd he scream like that?..-Suddenly, the sound of bones breaking makes Connie turn from the ledge to see the Colossal Titan breaking- Hey...Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!..-Bertolt's Titan body starts to fall where Eren, you and Reiner's direction as Connie, Hannes, and Historia gasp-
[Louis]: Above you! Look out!..-A soldier with pale brown hair yelled at the tops of his lungs as (Y/n) and Eren look up gasp as the Colossal Titan was just mere seconds away from colliding-
