A few months went by with us partnering with Yelena and Zeke. Through out the time that they have been here, everyone has learned so much. We have updated our ODM gear and our weapons, with us now having guns that can take multiple bullets at once.
Although we had a good time learning about all these new things I had been going behind everyone in the Cadet cores back. By taking any request from Zeke and giving them any information.
Even though some of my actions are far from acceptable I was able to obtain information for the big "Plan" Zeke was talking before he had mentioned it to the whole Military. To which they had agreed to go through with the plan.
Skip forward to us in a Airship flying our way to Marley. I had never imagined myself being in one of these I always thought I would be watching from Afar like that day with Yelena.
Everyone was in one room talking while Eren, Zeke and Yelena were out in Marley. I sat next to Armin not saying a word to no one.
"Are you ok?" Armin asked as he had noticed me space out.
"Yea I'm just worried" I told Armin as I fix my posture.
"I believe it'll go just as plan don't worry too much about it." Armin assures me as he pats my back. I nod in response as I get myself prepared.

Pieck
Today was the day. Today was the day that we finally bring peace to this place. As every Titian shifter and every new soldier gets ready for this festival.
"Are you ready" asked Porco i could tell he was excited to finally take a break from all of this.
"Yea" I tell him as we get out of the train. While everyone was getting out I had felt a hand grab my arm. I look to see Gabi next to me with a smile.
"LETS GO TO THE FESTIVAL" The little girl yelled in excitement as her friends agreed. Everyone nodded and walked our ways to the festival.
Making it to the place we saw a ton of food trucks. The place was very colorful and it was filled with people.
"LETS GO TO THIS ONE" Gabi Yells as she points to the Pizza one. We all agree and walk to the truck. As we got there Gabi and her friends turn and give Reiner a sad puppy look so he could buy them the food. To which Reiner gave in and bought all of us a slice. Guess he's going to be broke by the end of this.
We continued to walk around as we eat anything we had found. Also including Ice cream which was hard for Eldians to get.
The sun starts to go down and we all decide to make our way to where the performance was taking place. Everyone from countries had came just for today. Finally giving peace to Marley and to all of us Eldians.
We find our seats and sit there as we watch everyone come in. Odd enough Reiner had token Falco with him. Guessing that they'll come in a later time.
Although today is a celebration day everyone was guarding the place incase of the founding Titian. We weren't exactly sure if he was coming or not but we needed to be on high guard.
As time passed the stage lights around us turned off hinting that it was about to start. Everyone had gotten into a seat and got their food ready. The curtains slowly start opening from different sides. Revealing Willy Tybur.
"I hated my blood." Willy Tybur started.
"More than anyone else, I wished for eradication of the Eldians." He spoke once again. Everyone started to speak to themselves at this moment. And the kids were listening carefully.
"But I don't want to die, and that is because I was born into this world. We all differ in nationality and ethnicity. But now, in the face of this gargantuan enemy, the time has come." As he spoke i had noticed the people around me tearing up. I couldn't help but tear up to the idea of this being over.
"For us to unite as one! So now, I ask for aid from those of you who also want to live! Please, join me in living into the future! With our power combined, we can overcome any hardship we face!" Willy said as the crowd cheered and took pictures of him. Everyone cried to his words as they clapped. These words were the only ones that we need to shut this hell forever.
"Hey come with me" Porco said mid speech as he lead me out of the place. We excused ourselves leaving Zeke with the kids as I went with him.
"Where are we going?" I asked Porco confused as I followed him.
"Don't worry you'll see" He said happily. I followed him I had noticed someone was following us.
"Pieck!" A familiar voice said behind me as it got closer. I looked behind me to see Yelena. It was such a relief to see her. Yet a shock since I haven't seen her in so long.
"Hey i haven't seen you in a while" I say cheerfully.
"Same here, can you follow me? I need help on something." Yelena tells me. What could she need help on at this time? And why does she have a beard on?
"Ok" I tell her, I decide to ignore her beard and move along. I could tell Porco was annoyed by this but didn't mind to join me.
Before getting to wherever she was taking us I had made a stop to one of my friends.
I ran up to them and gave them a hug. "Hey incase if anything I'll be needing you guys to put on the armor for my Titian." I whispered to them I felt like something was off. I haven't spoke to Yelena in so long and all a sudden she wants my help on a important day? I didn't want to think the worse but i couldn't just go in blindly. They all nod noticing my rush.
I walk back to Porco and Yelena and we begin our walk. Eventually we get to the place. Yelena opens the door to a building letting us go first. Porco and I walk in first taking a few steps into to the place. We look around to see a pretty empty space.
"So what do you need help with?" I ask Yelena as we both look around trying to find what she could possibly need help with.
"This isn't anything personal. It's just business." Yelena said. I turn around to see her pull a lever that opened a hole under us.

We finally got to Marley. Before we all got out we had let Armin off early so he could transform before landing in the water. The plan was for him to block any possible escape by burning the place.
Our plan had worked out to our pleasure and now it was Mikasa turn to protect Eren from any possible attack. As Eren came out from below the ground everyone started to evacuate. He tried his best on getting anyone he could find by throwing himself towards the crowd.
Not so long after a titan transform next to him. A fight broke out between the two and we took our chances. We all got out of the airship and landed on top of roofs. We then used our ODM gear to get to other Soliders.
We managed to take down any solider that was attacking. Two titans appear into the area. Both of them are on its fours but one of them had sharp claws. And the other one was a Titian I had encountered years ago.
A group of us decide to go to the small Titian and impale it with one of the explosive weapons. To our surprise it worked, with just one hit it paralyzed the Titian. Due to the titans motionless body Eren decided to take it and use of it.
Now that we had token one Titian down we need to get the other one. The other Titian started shooting bullets out of its Armor. So We all went down before taking any damage.
"I think the Titian has soldiers controlling it!!" A cadet shouted as he examined the shooting Titian.
"What!?" I asked as I also stared at it trying to see any possible way to get into that machinery.
"Yeah multiple people are controlling it if you look closely there's something moving in there, besides it's not possible for a titan shifter to do that!." He shouted once again as he pointed at the Titian. I looked closely to soon see what he was talking about.
"What's the plan then!?" I asked him as I remained my eyes on it.
"Some stay behind to shoot inside of the Titian and the others charge at it!!" He says as he gets his explosive ready.
The Titian stopped shooting and we all decided to fly around it. When we did i had noticed the people that the cadet were talking about. Not so long after they tried to shoot us but failed at the attempt. By distracting them we managed to get one of the soldiers in there.
We went back on the roof and got ready for our next charge. "Are you ready?" The cadet asked me with a smile. I nodded at him as I got my explosive out
We all nodded at everyone as we flew back around the Titian. Like previous events the Titian had noticed us and they tried to shoot us. The cadet flew by the Titian and i had heard another gunshot go off around our direction. I turn to see him immediately went down, he had been shot.
All i could do is just witness his motionless body fall down to the ground as I flew by this Titian. If it wasn't for him I would be dead. Suddenly I had an urge to turn back. If I can't save him I could at least avenge him.
I turn my ODM gear around and fly towards the Titian with no repercussion. I then got closer to the Titian I had noticed the machine that it had wasn't moving. Yet I ignored it and flew to the Titian.
The Titian hadn't noticed my appearance not until I had flew straight in front of its face. It watched me as I flew over it. I then take out my explosive weapon and impale it on its back. I get back before letting the explosive go off. Due to the titan not being able to move so much from its machine it started to shake. I quickly let go of the explosive and flew away far from the Titian. By doing so it had created a big hole on its back causing it to run off.
I got back to the others that were on top of the roof waiting for anything else that could possibly happen. Then another lightning strike accrued. Someone had to have transformed. We look around to see it was Zeke. He acted like he was trying to attack us, so we played along. Levi came by and knocked him down by taking him out of the Titian. We all evacuated the place and went back to the airship.
All of us got in and readied the airship. We then made sure that everyone was inside. When we were sure everyone had made it in the airship, the doors started to closed.
Everyone celebrating our successful mission. I couldn't help but smile at everyone's cheerful expressions. I decided to go to the other side of the place where Armin and the others where.
I walk in to see Eren cuffed on one side, Zeke on the floor with his limbs torn off, and Yelena besides him with a beard.
I sit next to Armin and Mikasa as we all remain silent.
While we shared our moments of silence in one room, we started to hear a loud bang, almost like a gunshot. Mikasa, Armin, and me look at each other confused by the noise.
"You heard that right?" I asked everyone in the room confused.
"Im pretty sure everyone heard that." Zeke said calmly.
Before I could say anything someone ran in.
"SASHA GOT SHOT" Connie yelled at everyone in the room. We all shot up from our seats and went to look at Sasha.
We all get to Sasha to see her in a horrific state. I quickly crouch down to her level and try holding down her bullet wound.
"Hey Sasha look at me, stay with me!!" I shout as I press down the wound, unfortunately it doesn't seem to help the situation as much.
"Sasha don't give up no matter what you do, don't give up!!!" I shout louder as I press her wound down in place. The bullet seem to have hit her vital organs. Connie runs and gives me bandages, I try putting them on her quickly hoping she'll make it out.
"Sasha please don't give up-" I let out trying to keep my composure, her face was losing it's color. Everyone was now around Sasha crying and hoping that she'll make it.
I kept putting pressure and bandages I had, I then noticed her body going cold. Per amount of pressure I put, her body would get more heavier. I began to panic now noticing what could lead to this.
The crowd got louder and Sasha got quieter. Her body became more floppy and her face became more stiff.
"Meat"
I heard Sasha say. Immediately got hope that she was still holding on. I looked at her face and it told me different. Her eyes had lost it's sparkle her face was pale. I couldn't even feel her body moving, not even an inch. Her mouth remained open and her final tear shed before leaving this earth.
I stop applying pressure and drop my head. All I could do is just sit there watching her motionless body. Everyone started to look at me confused as to why I stopped. I exhaled taking all of this in.
"She's dead" I bluntly spoke as I look down to my hands that were now covered in blood. Everyone starts to cry even louder than before now Hange decided to enter the room. I get up and walk into the other room silently.
Hange immediately found out what happened from the situation unraveling in front of them.
Levi and the other three look at me.
"So is she ok?" Levi asked. I took a deep breath and sat down.
"She's gone" I said laying my head back on the wall.
"You said this was fully calculated" Levi argued with Zeke.
"Yeah but I didn't say it was perfect, I suppose this was one of the imperfect parts." Zeke said. Not so long after Eren began to laugh. Everyone is going crazy I swear.
-
We all make it back to Eldia with no problems of kids getting into the airship. After making it they took the kids into a cell and took Zeke to his own place.
We then made a funeral for Sasha as everyone put flowers on her grave and said their fair wells before leaving. Hell I even saw that marlyan chef come by and give some flowers.
Although some put their flowers and said goodbye, I had noticed Mikasa staying there for a longer time than the others. She just looked at the grave with a sad look. To be fair everything is very fresh so I don't blame her.
I walk up to the grave and look at her grave stone with my hands holding her flowers.
"Today we've lost many people and one of them being you Sasha. You didn't deserve to end up like this. We were supposed to have a nice party after all of this shit was over. Hell Connie, Jean and you were supposed to drink to your life's content. We were supposed to bother Hange and Levi while driving around in our future cars. Eating all the ice cream you wanted. But hey maybe right now your somewhere eating all of the food in the world and not worried of all of this."
"You died too soon kid. Maybe in a different life."
I say to her gravestone trying to keep my composure. I then put my flowers down on her grave and say my goodbyes. Before leaving I turn to Mikasa and give her a hug. I know she hates when people give her pity so I just gave her a hug without saying nothing. Surprisingly she hugged me back tightly as I felt her tears fall down my shoulder. I proceeded to rub her back letting her express herself around me.
Since it was just the two of us she was able to let go of any stress she had without being judged.
A few minutes go by before she finally manages to get herself together. She pulls back from the hug and looks at me with her puffy eyes. I wipe her eyes and give her a small smile. "I'll give you time with her" I whisper as I walk away from her grave. Mikasa just nods as she sits next to Sasha's grave.
I walk around the place clearing my head from everything. I find a empty area and spend my hours there hoping no one came looking for me.
For Eldia
