Thanks to Armin's crazy idea and the GN Particles that released from the Twin Drives using Trans-Am, Eren has come to his senses again.
The true operation, finally continues now.
Eren's Titan rises up and roars with all it got
Armin: Eren!
Y/n: *grin* Let's see who's controlling who now...
*opening starts*
Jean is currently running and gets inside one of the houses and hides on the second floor. This is when his ODM's grapple got a malfunction and agro the Titan that's after Connie.
Jean: Damn... I can't believe I'm draggin' everyone down...
He looked through the window, and saw a Titan coming. He next looked to the right and saw a dead soldier got crushed by a debris with its gear still functional. This made him think about what his next move.
Jean: Would this really work out somehow?!
Meanwhile on Rico's position, her squad only remains three members including her.
Garrison: We won't last long at this point, Captain!
Garrison: Curse this, they just keep coming!
Rico: *growls* Let's fall back to the rock for now!
Then Ian and Mikasa zips to the hole where another wave of Titans just entered the battlefield.
Ian: Situation report!
Garrison: 5 Titans coming from the gate!
Jean's still in hiding, but as soon as he sees the Titan walks away near him. He uses this chance to get the gear form the dead soldier.
Jean: There's no way I can just sit around and wait until the coast is clear!
Atop the walls are Connie & Annie are watching Jean changing gears.
Connie: Jean!
Mina: His gear is busted!
Marco: What's going on?!
Annie: It's Jean, his ODM is not functioning properly.
Jean is struggling to remove the gear and curses himself.
Jean: Crap! What the hell?! Of all the times!
But then a Titan is coming towards him as soon as he looks behind.
Marco: Jean!
Annie & Connie are on the way to rescue him... but suddenly a massive double-edge Sword Bit was whizzed by them and spins fast to saw the nape of the Titan.
Jean: W-What...?
Jean could only watch in a mixture of terror, relief and utter shock as soon as he saw the dead Titan fell forward. The others kept their distance as soon as they saw the Sword Bit is floating on its own. It moved away to slain another Titan.
Jean shrugged his head and shoulder to grab the gear immediately. He moved out after he changed gear. His team followed him, then Jean turns to a corner and see dead Titan corpses lie on the ground.
Connie: Must be that floating blade's doing.
Jean: What are you all doing?!
Annie: Isn't it obvious? Going back to the Walls.
Marco: Now come on!
Jean picks up the pace along with his team, but when he looked to the front, an Abnormal that the Sword Bit didn't killed came out of nowhere and tries to kill Jean with its open-wide mouth. But Annie intercepted it by stepping on its neck as a stepping stone and they managed to get back on the Wall in one piece.
Jean: You guys are reckless!
Marco: Don't even start, man.
Connie: Yeah! You scared the crap out of me!
Annie just slicks her hair back, but when she looked back, she gasped and saw the impossible.
Annie: I'll be damned.
Jean looked to her direction of where she's looking and he just has his mouth wide-open.
Then Mikasa and the others can hear loud Titan footsteps and they saw Titans are going towards where the sound is coming from. They saw a boulder being lifted by a Titan, and it was none other than Eren.
Mikasa just gasped by this and glad that Eren is finally back in business.
Mikasa: Eren...!
Armin: Mikasa!
Armin landed beside her and informed what happened.
Armin: Eren prevailed! He's trying to fulfill his responsibility now! Now if we just cover him with the mechanical Tiatn until he reaches the gate...
Then the OO passed by and the rest of the Sword Bits are following him also.
Armin: Victory will be ours now!
Ian is just eye widened looked at Armin, as he looked at the hole grimaced and narrowed his eyes and grits his teeth.
Ian: Defend him!
It made everyone turn their heads to Ian's voice of determination and command.
Ian: I don't care if we have that mechanical monstrosity's help or not! Even if it costs us our lives... we must defend Eren at all cost!!! Don't let the Titans get near him!
They all give their battle cries as they engaged to battle.
Atop the walls, Jean's team could hear it well.
Jean: Well, we can't just stand around and stare at them! We gotta give Eren backup! Keep the Titans off of him!
They dive down again to help out. Meanwhile Ian give his parting words before he rolls out.
Ian: You two head to Eren!
Mikasa & Armin: *gasp*
Ian: That's an order! Is that clear?!
Mikasa & Armin: Yes, sir!
Ian's about to move out when he saw multiple Titans enroute to Eren form their right. He also sees Mitabi behind them, doing something suicidal.
Ian: The Mitabi Team! What are you doing?!
Mitabi: The Titans are ignoring us now! our only choice is to get close enough to grab their attention!
When they're close enough, they yell to the Titans.
Garrison: Look this way, you big oafs!
Mitabi: Or else we'll shove our blades up your smelly arses and kill you!
They look behind and Mitabi shivers from the Titans looks.
Garrison: Here they come!
Garrison: We got 2 of them!
Mitabi: Run! Run for the buildings!
Y/n can hear it all the way from the coms and then Armin spoke about its suicidal plan.
Armin: That's insane! Setting foot down there is suicide! And they have no way to fight without horses or buildings!
Ian: No... That's the only option now.
Ian jumps into the battle field with his team to help out, even though its a small chance that they'll save.
Ian: Follow Mitabi's Team!
Mikasa: Armin. We need to go, too.
Armin just nodded and follows her to Eren. Ian distracts them to make a path for Eren.
Ian: This way! Come get me!
Y/n stopped his mobile suit for a second.
Y/n: This time, no one's dying on me!!
Y/n: Not this time!!
His GN Sword Vs began to raise up from it's shoulder guards and began to disperse massive GN Particles. He accidentally activated the Quantum Trans-AM (Sword) and began its move.
He began to unclamp the spear into dual swords and unleash the Sword bits creating two portals and it passed by him to Quantum teleport to the team
The whole Mitabi Squad is about to devour at the same time...
Garrison: *squirming & screaming*
Mitabi: H-Hey!
Garrison: Mitabi!
When the Quantize OO appeared out of nowhere and sliced the Titan who's about to eat the Garrison went his head spinning from a slash. And another and another, all of them killed simultaneously by the Sword Bits.
Mitabi: What the-?
Then the sword bits began to form his GN Spear (Dual-Sword) into a medium-sized buster Swords and activated it in Beam saber mode.
Y/n: I can't let you ate them!
Y/n moves to the Ian Team and deletes them all with a big upward slash.
Y/n: STOP!!!!
Then he activated them into rifle mode and they got incinerated by the blast. As his Sword Bits returned to the scabbards and he goes to tend them.
While Eren has remembered Armin's words in his head.
Eren: 'From the moment we're born, we're all free... All of us...'
He remembers his past while moving the boulder
Eren: 'Some might try to deny that, but it doesn't matter how strong they are! Fiery waters... Lands of ice... Or whatever else! Whoever gets to see those things will have the greatest freedom this world has to offer!' Fight! 'If anything is worth giving your life, it's none other than that! It doesn't matter how terrifying the world may be!'
Y/n's Trans-Am is deactivated again and witnesses the comeback of their kind.
Y/n: 'No matter what happens... No matter the scenario... You must fight, you live... If you don't, you die...' Come on, Eren... 5 meters left!
They keep running as the other Garrison and Cadets watch to see the impossible. Armin then saw one of the Cadets die, he just looks away and keeps looking forward.
Eren: 'It doesn't matter how cruel the world may be!' Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Armin and Mikasa saw another Titan ahead.
Armin: There's still a Titan ahead!
Mikasa: I'll handle this!
Y/n is making its boost there but Mikasa and Y/n saw Rico, in full fury stabs the eye.
Rico: Get out... of the way!
Titan: *small roar*
Mikasa: *hooks to the back shoulder and drifts* GRRRRRAAAAAAAAGH!!!! *kills the Titan*
Mikasa gets out of the way, and Y/n including Armin shouts together. Hallelujah jumps in the fun.
Armin, Hallelujah, Y/n: GO, EREN!!!!!
Titan (Eren): GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! 'FIGHT!'
He finally plugged the hole with Cadets and Garrisons alike watch the entire scenario made the impossible, possible.
Y/n drops down and Rico drops in a sitting position; her colleagues Ian and Mitabi lands beside her. She didn't care
Ian: We finally did it!
Mitabi: I'll be damned about it...
Rico then heard everyone's voice inside her head. Telling her they're thankful and they finally did it. Humanity finally made a comeback. She's shocked and finally crying of joy and relief.
Rico: *in tears* Everyone... Your deaths and sacrifices... weren't in vain...
Rico raises her flare gun and fires it with pride and joy. She didn't care about the OO behind them. Ian and Mitabi smiled in joy as well.
Rico: Today, for the first time in history... humanity has beaten the Titans!
At Pyxis' overwatch position, they saw a yellow flare all the way form their position
Left-hand lady: Yellow flare confirmed! It would seem... the operation was a success!
Everyone has a surprise on their tones and Pyxis ordered his next move.
Pyxis: Send in additional reinforcements! Rescue the Elite Squad!
Y/n smiles and the Garrison elite saw the Titan move and raises its arms up. Declaring that operation is complete.
Y/n: *sweating and wipes it off* Finally... That's done...
He takes a breather before he gets his ODM blade and comes out of the cockpit to tend to them.
Rico: The remaining Titans are coming! Head up the wall!
Mikasa: We'll withdraw after we've recovered Eren! *runs up to Armin* Armin! How's Eren?!
Armin is currently struggling to remove Eren from his Titan form
Armin: He's unbelievably hot to touch! *tries to plug out Eren*
Y/n: Move fast! We need to hurry and get him up the wall...!
Rico and Mikasa is on Eren's Titan currently to help out Armin.
Armin: Part of his body is fused to it! I can't pull him free at this point!
Rico: Then we'll have to cut it!
Mikasa: W-Wait! Please!
Y/n: *cuts out the flesh anyway with his ODM blade*
Armin immediately drops down after they pulled Eren out. But then two Titans are in front of them.
Y/n: Tch!
Mikasa: Eren! Armin!
Rico: Vidar, get out of the way!
Eren opens his eyes a little bit. One of them is about to grab the three...
Until... a familiar clean freak yet pro Titan killer has arrived, taking down the two.
Armin looked back to see who killed them.
Armin: Mikasa...
But then he saw Mikasa drops down beside them
Armin: Huh?
Y/n: It's him...
Mikasa: Those are...
Eren's left eye is fully opened and sees the emblem clearly. Two wings, one colored white and the other is blue, attached to its cloak.
Eren: The wings... of freedom...
Survey corps has returned at last... Levi being the first person to appear on the battle. Levi looks back to see the cadets and the pilot.
Levi: Hey. You kids. What exactly is going on here?
Levi then saw Y/n in a pilot suit.
Levi: Hmph... Hey, you. The blue one. You're with me! For now.
Y/n: Yes, sir!
Y/n runs in to his Gundam.
Levi: 'What is he...?'
He saw the doors of the Gundam opened and white light is passing through it. He sees Y/n jumps and through the light and the door closes as the Gundam activates again and began to move.
But then Mikasa asked something to Rico, even Y/n heard it
Mikasa: Captain Rico? Don't mind if we make a request?
Rico: As long as its reasonable, we'll see what we can do.
Armin: Uhm, we have a friend that's MIA. Could you...
Rico: Don't worry... We also had someone asked the same question. We'll do what we can this time.
They begun to evac as Y/n can feel his heart and gut have a small pit of terror grow.
Y/n: 'Oh no...'
Hallelujah: 'Good luck...'
That moment is almost here as time passes by so fast. The moment where Y/n would show himself to the world as the pilot of the 00 Core Gundam. He can already assume many things that will end up resulting in such as, blackmail, torture or even hostage and using his friends as threatening him.
This is the first time he felt ironic about it. The one thing he didn't care about at all in the past has catch up to him.
Y/n: 'I have to protect them. Even if they deemed me as a monster.'
Mitabi: Rico, come on... We gotta help them!
Ian: Well, aside from that behemoth, Survey Corps have returned.
Y/n then moves forward to help them out.
Rico: Well... there goes the monstrosity.
Y/n then saw Levi killing the Titans left and right with pinpoint accuracy and clean slices while making sure his gas is using it efficiently.
Y/n: Levi is one of the humanity's saw blades when in combat, not going to lie.
Meanwhile Levi just made an eye contact to OO and he returns his contact back to the battlefield.
Y/n: Hmm... Wonder if he still remembers that night...
Levi: 'When this guy just appeared once again to save us from crisis...'
Levi thoughts it and he guesses that the Colossal returns and destroys the gate. He gets confused on why did it appeared to help humanity once again. His thoughts are interrupted when he hears Erwin calling out to him.
Erwin: Levi!
Erwin is accompanied by other Survey Corps members including Levi Squad. Erwin was clearly shocked that its back after its 4 year absence, its even intense than Levi, but he didn't showed it. The OO stopped for a little bit to watch them. He asked Levi about the situation.
Erwin: Maybe, don't rush that fast ahead of us next time?
Levi: Maybe... *cleans his blades*
The Survey Corps recruits who are unfamiliar with the Gundam just kept their eyes are glued to it.
Erwin: I can overlook this one issue this time. For now, we should perhaps focus on the bigger issue...
Erwin finally turns his sights to the Gundam which aside form turning its head to eye on them but also hasn't been moving yet since the plugging the hole in the Wall.
Erwin: Such as that 'Titan's' sudden reappearance.
Levi: To be frank, I don't care about it reappearing or even disappearing. The only thing I'm much more to be concerned about is...
Suddenly the individual who's high on Titan knowledge gathering appears.
Hange: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
Levi: *sigh* That...
Hange Zoe swung down with eyes full of lust for discovery and knowledge. She fast landed to the ground creating a small crater, but she didn't care. She clasped her hand like a simp school girl who's simping on her crush and sees the OO Core Gundam Tekkaman Armor.
Hange: OH MY GOD, IS THIS A DREAM?! TELL ME IT ISN'T A DREAM! PLEASE!
She immediately jumps to the Gundam before anyone could even talk some sense into her. She began to exam every parts, and armor of its person. If it felt any form of discomfort, it certainly didn't show it, and most questioned Hange's sanity literally loses it, Erwin, alongside a few others, couldn't help but feel amused at them.
Erwin: *shakes his head* 'She really wanted this for a very long time.'
He watched Hange hugged the head of the Gundam, squishing her cheeks up against its faceplate as she whispered sweet nonsense to it. Levi rolled his eyes at that attitude, and the few Survey Corps who actually knew about the Gundam and the even fewer who had fought alongside it and actually fight the Armored Titan during the Fall of Maria couldn't help but chuckle just a little at her.
Suddenly Ian and his other subordinates Rico and Mitabi have arrived after the evacuation for the cadets
Ian: Commander Smith!
Erwin: At ease, Ian. If you all would, I would like a full report on what transpired.
Ian: At once, sir. However, before we retreat from the battlefield, I would like to request that you spare a handful of your men to assist in eliminating the remaining Titans within Trost. The OO can undoubtedly solve the issue, even on its own, though we cannot rely entirely on it.
Erwin: OO?
Rico: It's the designated name for himself. The Garrison troops will be pre-occupied with calming the civilians that are held within Wall Rose.
Erwin: Consider it done. Levi.
Levi: I'll go get my squad.
Levi left to get his team as Erwin see him flew off to do its task. Erwin then stared back at Hange, still clinging on its faceplate. Moblit is already fretting over Hange's safety, as usual, and Erwin probably oughta throw him a bone and do him a solid.
Erwin: Hange, please get off the OO's face. I have orders for you as well.
Hange sighed and slid off it's face and landing a front flip perfectly on the ground and has her hands on her hips
Hange: Yes, sire?
Her foot is tapping the ground impatiently as she tries not to look back to the Gundam.
Erwin: *clears his throat* If you may, please accompany Levi with clearing up Trost .
Hange just quickly nods at the order as she jogged and flies to Levi squad. Erwin now stares back at the motionless Gundam.
Erwin: So, will it just stand there.
Mitabi: We... are unsure. The OO does as it pleases. It is, in a sense, more than what it seems. It is in equal parts a machine as it is a Titan and a human. We were surprised also that it could talk via the man named Vidar.
The few Survey Corps starts to feel nervous about it. The Gundam can talk, this is new to them while the others who witnessed him changes alter ego could just tremble a little bit, still remembering the intimidation it gave away.
Erwin: I see. So it will help us if it's controller talks again is what you're trying to say, yes?
Ian: Yes, so do not rely too much on it Command-
Suddenly, steam coming out of the vents as the corps is on defensive. Light's start to illuminate underneath the armor. It jumped high at the air and Y/n commanded, as everyone heard its voice.
Y/n: Bolt out!
(A/n: Armor Purge event timestamp)
The armor bolted out from it's true body and it unveil its original form. The chest armor is removed, waist armor is removed, extra armor guards on the arms, legs and feet are removed also. The ear blade parts is removed and the GN Sword V set is removed and puts back the Twin Drive system and his 3 weapons are caught and placed on its true form.
Y/n specifically remembered how he built this thing to dock or bolt out. The body he based is from Exia Repair 2, and he removed the GN Drive behind its back and removed the Gundam 00's Twin Drive backpack he have on his collection back on his home in the real world.
He customized it to have a GN Condenser for thruster included in the backpack and placed it on its back and build the placements for both GN Drives and added the small thin metal sheets from Exia's original design for the upper arm and have access to two beam sabers on its waists like the Repair 2.
It's bolt out is like Tieria's Nadleeh Gundam reveal and docking is like Hiroto's Core Gundam.
GN Sword
GN Beam Sabers
They are hearing pistons, gears and thrusters. Then Y/n speaks out.
Y/n: Let's roll.
Y/n moves on to help Hange and Levi squad.
Afterward, thanks to the actions of the Survey corps, the Garrison Regiment's Engineering division, and the 00. Wall Rose once again held the Titans at bay.
As cannons, slashes, beam firing and slashes can be heard across Trost.
Taking out the rest of them trapped inside the district took only half a day, during which the turret cannons and Gundam attacks fired nonstop. Thanks to the 00's help.
As the cannon fires, the cannonball hits the Titan's right shoulder and bursts out. The soldiers helped them out as Y/n dashes to pierce them with his GN Sword
Most of the Titans that had gathered by the wall were wiped out by explosive shells and beam weaponry. The few that remained were mostly mopped up by the Scouts and the Gundam.
As the Titans are captured by multiple restraints on their necks and legs.
During this, one 4-meter and one 7-meter Titans were successfully captured alive.
Pyxis and his associates stand tall at the top gate of Wall Rose watching the city being reclaimed by them.
However, 201 people were dead or missing, and 894 were injured. Although this was the first time humanity had stopped a Titan invasion, far too many people had been lost to celebrate this historical achievement.
Next Day
As other like Jean, who just seen his best comrade, Marco. it's half body got eaten by a Titan; Sasha who seen a puked ball made up of flesh and blood form its stomach and the soldiers corpses, is on a nearby house and Annie who has her eyes filled with pure horror, emptiness and guilt.
Annie: I'm sorry...
Reiner and Bertholdt are cleaning up the battlefield and gathering the corpses.
Reiner: It's no use apologizing. We need to hurry and give them a funeral.
They burn the bodies in a big fiery flames, giving funerals on the fallen soldiers.
Meanwhile, somewhere underground, Eren awakens from his sleep and in some sort of a jail cell, he opens his eyes to see Erwin and Levi are watching him all along.
Erwin: Have any questions?
Eren: 'Commander Erwin, the head of the Survey Corp's... and Captain Levi!' U-Umm... Where... am I?
As he's surrounded by a bunch of cuffs and chains around him, two of them are cuffed to his arms.
Erwin: It should be obvious. Let's just say it's a dungeon. You're currently in the custody of the Military Force. Only just now were we permitted to see you.
Erwin then shows Grisha's basement key to Eren.
Eren: *gasp* That key...! But where's...
Erwin: Yes. It's yours. I'll return it later. And for the 00, it's currently dormant somewhere near Trost.
Y/n is currently having a nap after a long battle, he's lying down to the floor of the cockpit inside the Gundam.
Levi: By now, they have him under observation, for upcoming trials.
Eren: 'Trials...?'
Erwin: Let's get on with the question. Dr. Jaeger's basement, in your home in Shiganshina... A secret surrounding the Titans is there, correct?
Eren: Yes, I think so. That's what my father said.
Levi: And you've lost your memory, and your old man's gone missing... Pe=retty convincing story, if you ask me.
Erwin: Levi. We've already concluded he has no reason to lie right now. You know that. There's still so little we know, but for now, I feel the most important thing is to ask about your intentions.
Eren: My intentions?
Erwin: If we want to check out your home, we'll need to take back Shiganshina District along Wall Maria. Sealing the damaged gates there would be the best way to accomplish that.
Erwin: Which means we'll need yours and the 00's ability. Naturally, it's the Titans that will determine our fate. The Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan most likely work the same way as the both of you. Your intentions and the 00's intentions are the key. The key to saving humankind from this despair.
Eren began to find his words to say.
Eren: I'm...
As he remembers the past events that occurred at the front of his eyes
Eren: 'I'm going to drive them out... every last one of them form this world!'
Levi is impatiently waiting as he calls out to Eren.
Levi: Hey. Answer the simple question, dummy. What do you want to do?
Eren is breathing rapidly and eases off as his eyes full of anger and a smile of lust for killing the Titans written all over his face, physically.
Eren: I want to join the Survey Corps... and slaughter every Titan I can see and see why the 00 is here in this world!
Levi's eyes began to widen a little bit and compliments about his answer.
Levi: Ah. Not bad.
As Erwin is thinking about his suggestions, opinions and other words for Eren's and the 00's trials later on. Levi already made a suggestion for Erens.
Levi: Erwin. I'll take responsibility for him. Let the higher-ups know. I don't necessarily trust him, though. If he betrays us or gets out of control, I'll kill him on the spot.
Eren gasps at Levi's suggestion mixed with an opinion.
Levi: The top brass won't complain about it. Because I'm the only one cut out for this. In other words, you're in. I'll make you a member of the Survey Corps.
TBC
Somewhere near Trost's gate, the same place where Eren's "execution" is held.
Garrison: I see. Eren Jaeger's session has ended, yes?
Rico: *nods* Yeah. Eren Jaeger's being moved to the Survey Corps.
Rico now looked at the 00 with her eyes that's full of... respect.
Rico: Now, we have to contend with the 00.
Garrison: *scratches his head* Uhm... what exactly do you mean, Commander Rico? Does the Tribunal wanna judge the thing too? If so... we may need a bigger court.
Rico: No, not like that, at least. After Jaeger's trial, Captain Hange Zoe put forth the idea that like, Cadet Jaeger, the 00 is also in possession of a human controls it. IN other words, we need Vidar to come out of that thing.
Garrisons are confused on who are they talking about. They completely forgot the previous events and also the one who saved their skins from the Titans.
Garrison: Vidar?
Rico: It is unconfirmed, seeing as no human has emerged from it thus far, but Zachary believed it enough to send me, of all people, to have a look.
Garrison: Sorry to say the bad news, Commander. He sin't even popping out of the damn thing. We've been keeping a close eye on that it for the past few hours. It hasn't even moved!
Rico: *sigh* Well,. I guess now is a good time as any-
Suddenly, a few including Rico noticed something. They turn to see the 00's eyes flash a powerful shade of cyan for a brief moment.
They all went defensive and one of the Garrisons shouted.
Garrison: Get those cannons ready!
Rico: Delay that order! Stand down, all of you, now!
The others including her still has their blades to their hands for precaution. Then they saw the chest part shifted downwards and a light is inside it.
Suddenly, Y/n came out with its helmet's opacity is disabled. Rico's eyes widened at Y/n aka Vidar's true face.
Y/n glanced down at the soldiers and up at the cannon shooters. He didn't seemed to care at all as his gold eyes locked onto Rico's silver pair. She couldn't help but feel familiar at his facial features. But she snapped back as her thinking clicked in.
Rico: So you're the one that was controlling the Titan this whole time, huh?
Y/n: ...
Rico: Very interesting...
But she had her doubts that's filled with sadness.
Rico: 'Still... Why you?! Out of all of them?!'
