[With Eren and the others]
Things now got out of hand as innocent people were now fearing for their lives. An evacuation was now in place. Whilst this was happening all the trainees were filling up their gas tanks. Eren noticed how out of place Armin looked whilst he trying to fill the tanks.
''I-I'm sure things will settle down soon!!''
''S-still....this isn't good! we've got an eight meter hole in the wall and no way to fix it quickly. They put that rock there to plug a hole but we can't even move it! And the moment we realize we can't fill in the hole, this town will be abandoned.....''
''After that it's only a matter of fact of time before they get through Wall Rose...to begin with...if titans felt like it....they could exterminate the human race at any time!!''
!!!
''Armin!! Calm down'' Mikasa yelled by grabbing his shoulder, startling him, causing him to stare at her
''S-sorry. I'm fine....'' Armin stated
''Calm down okay....now is not the time to panic'' Mikasa softly spoke as she patted his shoulder
||
||
''Just like in your training, each squad will take a different street. You're under Garrison Command. Your duties are support, communications, titan-killing and anything else that's needed.''
''The Garrison will take Vanguard...''
''You trainees are the middle guard...''
''The Garrison's Elite Unit will be rearguard''
''Time for us freeloaders to pay our tab. We've gotta defend Wall Rose to the death...until every last man, woman and child has safely evacuated.''
''Oh and as you're aware, deserting in the face of the enemy is considered a capital offense. Be prepared to sacrifice your lives people.''
...
''If the battle gets hairy, Eren, come find me'' Mikasa announced, Eren by surprise
''We're on different squads Mikasa, what the hell are your talking about'' Eren spoke as he shook his head
''B-but...'' Mikasa's voice trailed off, Eren headbutted to snap her out of her thoughts
!!!
''I am not your little brother! What has gotten into you, Mikasa?!'' Eren mumbled frustratedly, but Mikasa just sighed
''TRAINEE ACKERMAN!!!''
''You've been assigned specifically to the rearguard. Get on over there!!'' Announced a Garrison soldier, taking her by surprise
''Huh? No way I'm joining'' Mikasa shook her head as she stared at the person
?!
''I'm not asking you, I'm telling you'' Said the person
''The evac is going slowly right now, so we need best of the best guarding the public'' He further added
''Hey, Armin....this is a good opportunity don't you think? I mean before applying to the Survey Corps.....if we prove ourselves in this battle first, they'll make us fresh recruits...'' Eren spoke up
''...And watch how fast we get promoted up the ladder!!'' Eren smiled
''Y-yeah...'' Armin said nervously as he smiled at him
...
''Sorry to burst your bubble....but a lot of people from our class are applying for the Survey Corps!!'' Announced Mina as she made her way over to the three
''You left me in the dust before Eren, but this time I'm keeping up!!'' Mina further added, causing Eren to smile and nod
''You're on Mina'' Eren said
''SQUAD 34, ADVANCE!! LET'S GO!!!''
So then everyone got into Vertical Maneuvering and headed off. With Armin and Eren towards the front. Everyone was inspecting the area, when their eyes caught something, and consequently widening.
''What the hell?!'' Eren spoke up as he stared at the sight in front
''They're even roping the middle guard into the vanguard?! All those titans already here....what's going on?! Usually our peers in the vanguard hog all the action...even though no much time has passed...''
''Has the advance guard collapsed?''
All of a sudden an abnormal titan came flying over to them, causing them crash land onto the roofs of the buildings. Eren groaned gripped onto the side of the roof, when he looked up, his eyes widened as he saw Thomas in a titan's mouth. Eren was pissed off now as he stormed off.
!!!
''Eren!!'' Armin yelled aster him
''DON'T GO ON YOUR OWN EREN'' Armin further yelled,
As Eren was nearing Thomas, Eren's leg was grabbed by a titan, but due to his fast reflexes, he was able to stop it and cut the titans neck, causing Armin eyes to widen, but sigh in relief afterwards.. However unbeknownst to Eren, he didn't realized a titan was close by, because his attention was purely on Thomas at the moment. A giant hand had grabbed Eren, causing Armin's eyes to widen. Eren crash landed and due to the impact he landed on the roof opposite the roof Armin landed on.
Eren's body was bloodied now, cuts were present. The rest of the team watched in horror as the pool of blood was getting bigger. A chunk of his leg was bit off, Armin stared at Eren in pure horror as he looked at his bloodies friend on the other side of the building. Soon, just like that, all of other members came down one by one, with Armin just watching his comrades die. He was so frozen in horror that he didn't know what to do anymore, his body became numb.
Unbeknownst to Armin, the same titan was coming towards him, and he was know being lifted up, Armin was unresponsive, but Eren was able to grab him just in time, before he got swallowed, Eren pulled him out, causing Armin to crash back onto the roof, Eren was now doing everything he could to keep the mouth open, but struggled to do so. Just as Armin moved his body and put his hand for Eren, the titan bit into Eren and swallowed him, now, Armin's heart dropped
???
!!!
''NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'' Armin screamed in horror
[With you]
You were facing out towards the window, seeing what was going on, you could see smoke in many places, however, just for a moment, you felt your chest tighten, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling, it was almost suffocating.
''Damn it...something is going on...why do I feel so uneasy...?'' You sighed as you sat down on your bed, clutching onto your chest in pain, you dog was huddled up close to you
*Woof*
*Woof*
It was also feeling uneasy and sensing your frustration, made it worse, you closed your eyes in pain as you wanted this feeling to disappear. 10-15 minutes had now passed and you still couldn't go out of your room, but the tension was high, you needed to go out, but it was difficult for you at the moment.
*Smash*
Just then, Jean came crashing into the room, startling you, he was panting heavily, you stared at him is shock
!!!
''There is a titan...going around killing other titans...'' Jean panted heavily as he tried to explain, now this caught your attention
💭 ''The vision...it came true again...''
''Where...?'' You asked panickingly but desperately, Jean seemed to have been taken back slightly, but just let out a sigh
''Close to HQ...'' Jean said calmly
''Take me now...I need to see this...'' You said calmly as you looked at him, Jean was silent
???
''OI HORSE HEAD! ARE YOU LISTENING?!'' You yelled to get his attention, Jean's cheeks turned red as his eyes widened in shock
''You're so mean...'' Jean spat as he rolled his eyes, you slapped his head jokingly
''Take me now...please...'' You pleaded, Jean nodded
''I just came here to tell you, I wasn't planning on bringing you with me...since Eren told us that you needed to rest...but you're a right stubborn ass...'' Jean let out a groan as he massaged his temples
''Sorry not sorry...but we need to go...NOW!'' You said calmly.
Jean scooped you up carefully into his arms and then jumped down the building, now maneuvering through the air with his ODM gear, you held onto his tightly, your heart was pounding against your chest.
''Drop me and you're dead.'' You said calmly as you looked at him, Jean sighed
''Does it look like I am going to drop you? I rather not get killed by Eren, thanks...'' Jean mumbled quietly, you nodded
Jean made his way back to where the other were, Armin and the rest were watching ahead, the mysterious titan was destroying the the titans, after destroying all titans in the area the mysterious titan was exhausted, its body dropped to the floor. Everyone watched to see what would happen next and to their surprise they were in for a shock. Steam started emerging from the titans. They could see an individual emerging, everyone's eyes consequently widening.
💭 ''Wait...what's going on...?''
💭 ''A person inside a titan...? That doesn't make sense...?''
When the person was clearly visible, multiple gasps could be heard, and your heart dropped, when you realized who it was...
???
!!!
''Eren...?'' Your voice was barely audible.
To be continued...
