I have merged both episodes 9 and 10 for this
"Heads up! The main unit of the scout regiment is back!" A citizen calls out to the Commander, "that's right, commander Erwin did you give those unglued bastards a thrashing?!" Erwin doesn't look down though, as he continues to gallop forth.
Eren, Latina, Armin, Drake, Grayson and Mikasa are in the crowd as they watch the main force get ready for their next mission."Look! It Captain Levi!" Instantly they all shoot their heads to see the famous melancholic face Levi wore
"They say hes like, he's like an entire Brigade unto himself !"Levi groans at the crowd of people and mutters amongst himself, "Tch, spare me please..." Two girls were riding next to him, one named Hanji and the other Donna, hanji mutters to him with a small smile" that scowl will crush your fans, not that's it's any of our business, but from a public relations standpoint, you might wanna lighten up"
He just scoffed, "Cousin Donna!" The goggled girl looked and noticed in the crowd two familiar faces, Latina, Grayson and drake 'wow, little younglings are all grown up' she smiled " what's got you in a good mood" hanji asked " I just saw my cousins, I still can't believe how big they've gotten" the girl sighed
" you hoping they joins the scouts?" She asked " I'm not sure, it's not up to me" the girl smiled sheepishly " well even if he don't, you still got us!" Hanji chimed, the girl just chuckled " remind me how I ended up with yal again?" She asked raising an eyebrow with a smirk which made Hanji burst into laughter, Levi just rolled his eyes
the scouts were waiting by the Wall Rose's inner gate as Hanji drools a bit as it slowly lifts, "Lo! The threshold of titania! Can't you just envision the horrors in store for us comrades? I'm on pins and needles! We bag an abnormal, ill burst with tears of joy!" She squealed, daydreaming, as Levi eyes her. He looks back forward and casually says,, "I Think we bagged the craziest abnormal already." She searches around, " what? Seriously where?!" Levi places his hand on her head and turns her to him, "i mean you ." Donna just chuckled, Finally, the gate has been lifted as Erwin tells the group, "Move out!"
In Wall Maria, as soldiers try to fight, one was slowly being gnawed to his death as he meekly spoke, "One day...one day you'll all be a ban memory...mankind will destroy you all!...Mark my words the last one standing will be us!" The soldier plunges the broken blade into the Titan's cheek, causing it to bit down on him harder. The man lets out a scream, still clutching the blade in his hand, " gorge while you can...you bastard...just wait till captain levi!-" Right on cue, Levi comes in faster than a cheetah as he slices the back of the Titan's neck. The Titan falls as Levi lands on a roof, walking around to see more Titans coming forth,
"One on the right... Two on the left." Then a girl, name Petra, lands as she addresses, "Captain, the reinforcements are here, sir!" He turns to her and orders, "good. Tend to our comrad bellow, Petra. You two take out the titan on your right. The pair on the left belongs to me." He then takes off, making Petra call out in worry, "Captain wait!" The reinforcements go after the one Titan as it tries to grab one of them. They both dodge it, though, one drops his blades by mistake
Then, Hanji and Donna fly in, hanji lands lettting out an excited holler, right in front of the Titan, arms spread, "Don't be scared, big guy! I won't hurt you! Cross my heart n hope to die!" The Titan goes in to grab her, but she moves in the nick of time, laughing
" points for trying, but you a little slow on the uptake! Hiyah!" And just like that, she executes the Titan. "See? Bet you barley felt a thing"She says between the two reinforced soldiers, who stare at her like a madwoman " hanji!" Suddenly two other titans, the same height as the one she killed fell down next to them " watch ya surroundings ya crazy person!" She smirked, hanji just laughed Hysterically
Meanwhile, Levi gets closer to the two Titans, "I know you probably can't help being hideous." He prompts himself on top of a roof and walks forward at them," But I can't help being tired of looking at you." He hooks his left wire across one of the Titan's neck and uses the other to fly back to the nape. He spins and the nape falls. He jumps off the falling Titan, releases his blades, and chucks it at the Titan's eyes, blinding it. Levi lands on top of its head, "Uh oh. Easy, big stuff. Nobody's got time for a cry baby." He replaces his blades with new ones" let's take it like a man, shall we?"
And flies up into the air. He descends down and slices the neck.
I love this part
He front flips onto the nearest building as the Titan falls. Levi glances down at his hands and blades " ugh.disgusting ..." He brings out a towel from his coat and wipes the blood off. He places his rug back in his coat and jumps down to find Petra with the man from before. He trots over, causing the girl to look up, " captain! I— I can't stop the bleeding." His eyes avert from Petra and to the soldier, who calls out to him, "Captain Levi..." He crouches down and raises a brow, "I'm here" He gradually turns to Levi as he asks, "Did...did this make a difference...?" He tries to raise his hand, which was covered in blood, "Was I— was I useful?...please sir. Don't tell me this was for nothing...tell me this'll advance the cause" Levi grabs the bloody hand and reassures " we've made great strides today, soldier.and tomorrow because of you, your strength won't die with you, the torch will be carried on by me. This I swear on my very life. The titans will be eradicated!"
Blood drips down his hand as Petra finally speaks, "sir. I'm sorry—he's..." He looks at the soldier with sadness and turns to Petra, "Did the man hear what I had to say? Any of it?" She looks at him and turns to the heroic soldier, " yes sir. Matter of fact I think he heard all of it. Look at him. That's a face at peace.
", we can hope" He stands as the sudden sounds of galloping appears, "Levi!" Erwin calls. He turns to see Erwin on his horse, "we're pulling out." Petra stares at the commander confused, "sir?" She asks " what do you mean?You dam well know that we can push further! My man didn't died to pave our retreat!"Levi says
"There's a swam Titans moving north, there bearing down on the city." Petra gasps as Erwin looks away from them, "It's just like five years ago. Something tells me this is going to be bad. All we know the walls already been reduced to rubble."
Flash back to before
'Damn you...damn you!'Eren reaches out for Armin as he tries to get him, but the Titan's mouth closes and gets swallowed. Eren flutters his eyes and looks around to be surrounded in red, and with floating bodies around. He gasps and screams, backing away from the horror he was witnessing. He turns around to see a body flip over to reveal him that the soldier was dead."..This— this isn't real! We were ready! We were ready! We hit the books. We trained. Do you stings what a mystery to us anymore. We knew how to beat them.how to survive..." He mutters to himself as he looks at the bodies in front of him." Help me. Its so hot...";He turns quickly to see a girl's head turned away from as she cries, "I need to get home. Mom'll be worried. I know she will!
memory flashes through Eren's head to see his mother smiling and laughing at him, "Mom...oh mom..." Then, the girl then starts sink to her death " help me. Please-". Eren watches the whole thing with a horrid expression plastered on his face."why has it come to this? Why has everything been taken from us? Our lives...our dreams...everything..."He then sobs, he tries to fight it back but he can't, " damn you. Damn you all to hell" He clenches his teeth together,
raises his bitten arm up in the air, " I refuse to die like this! I'll drive them all out! Kill them all with my bare hands! Do you hear me?! With my bare hands!" He shrieked
Just then an arm extends out of the Titan's body as it falls to the ground. There was movement inside of the Titan before it was ripped open, blood splattering the walls. And there stood the Titan that saved both mikasa and Latina. The Titan, or as Eren, roars as a smaller Titan approaches him
He looks down at the Titan and stomps over the other Titan's neck. He approaches the smaller Titan with green-piercing eyes,"this isn't your world. Not anymore."The Titan springs up with its mouth open to only receive a punch from Eren's Titan Form, "I'll kill every last one of you!" It falls to the ground as Eren stomps its head repeatedly."get up."
Stomp!
"get up!"
Stomp!
"let me kill you again! And again, and again!"
Stomp!
"You're mine. All of you.!"He stops and just stares at the Titan's steaming corpse
No pov
. "You're all gonna die" Armins shocked face matched the rest of the groups own expressions. "Eren" Latina whispered, Eren opened his eyes wider, looked around and gasped. They were at the base of a huge arena filled with Garrison Regiment. Mikasa looked around and gave a start
"you alright?"
"look at me, Eren, Hey, can you move?! Can you hear me? Say something!! Listen! You've got to tell them everything!!! They're terrified but they'll understand!!" Armin pleaded. "Armin, what-?" Eren started but was cut off by another man.
"Catch that! He said we're all gonna die!" "There's not much else you can make of that! Son of a bitch wants to eat us!! You watch!" Eren just stared ' what the hell are they talking about? What is this? Why are all their blades pointing at us? Those are meant for taking down titans. What's going on?' He then looked towards the commander ' and what's with that look?'. "Eren," Latina whispered. "Do you remember what happened?" Drake asked with a surprised expression
Meanwhile inside wall
" I want all of you cadets on stand by. Look sharp!" A leader tells everyone as they talk to each other. Connie looks down at his legs, " if we hadn't found the gas, we have never gotten out of trust.basically, we got lucky butthat's it" He finishes his story to Christa " that sounds terrible I'm sorry, we volunteered to run supplies out to everyone, but the situation was so bad." as Ymir, apologizes adds "we even found some gas we were going to dole out to you guys but then everything went to hell." She rubs the back of her neck when Christa furrowed her brows, "so, you're saying everyone who who isn't here now didn't Uh...you know..." Connie nods, "Yeah." They stare at disbelief as Ymir says, "wait what about Latina and Mikasa?"
"No, no. Their alright they made it in after us with a group jean led." Ymir turns her head and yells, "hey Jean! Where the hells red and mikasa, they get hurt or what?" He doesn't respond though as he stares down at the ground, "hey. Talk to us" He takes a swig from his water and wipes his mouth, explaining to them. "I tell you if I could distract us with a gag order."
Flashback was of them helping carry eren over the wall into the lift, and when they got over, they were met with the commander and many soldiers "Whoa. Your joking right?"
" that's nuts" Ymir said, Jean sighs, " they're not if they think people aren't going to talk, word will get out, and when it does... Well, that is if we survive" he said
Meanwhile
at the Wall, Hannes mutters, "you've gotta hand it's to the engineering corps for puttin the heap of rancid titan corps to good use I surpose still just a barricade though, we can't get too comfortable, stay on the toes.whatever happens next, it's bound to happen here. "He glances at his comrade, " this is the proverbial line in the sand-," He glances at him one more time before asking, "hey something wrong?" He shakes his head though, "Sir.my apologies.I completely agree.I'm just a little preoccupied about my friends in the Vanguard.there was a Messenger on the way to HQ with this look on his face."
"Kid.difficult as it may be, you've got to wrangle your mind to stay focus on what's here in front of us." The soldier shifts in his spot, "Is it true what they say about you saving those kids five years ago, sir? They're cadets now, right? Won't they be in the vanguard to." Hannes turn back down at the Titans, "that's right..." The soldier looks away in shame, "I'm really sorry sir. Don't know why I felt the need to bring it up."
"They're good." The soldier looks back up while he continues, "Some tough little bastards.believe me, they know what it takes to stay alive.one of them just about the best fighter I've ever seen.the others so stubborn i can drive you crazy.Loads of inner strength and their friends are certifiable genius. They'll be fine.not a doubt in my mind, and plus those new friends I saw with them, the look in their eyes made me feel like I won't have to worry."
Back to the group
"Cadets Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, Latina sanders, Grayson Rodgers, Zane Carter, drake Adams and Armin Arlert!" Captain Woerman yelled. "You seven have jointly committed an act of high treason! Whether or not a swift execution is necessary rests on you!!"
"What!" Eren whispered. "Any attempt to move from where you stand now, anything i deem the least bit suspicious will be met with cannon fire! Do not test me!!" Eren's eyes widened. "Answer carefully!! Eren Yeager! What exactly are you?!?! Human, or Titan!!!" Eren eye widened' what is that surprised to mean?...why are they all glaring at me like that?...it's like- they're looking at a monster.' He then realised ' oh god. Is that what they think?'
"I'm sorry Sir!!" Eren yelled back. "I don't understand!!" "Answer me, damn you!! Evasion will get you nowhere!! Don't try to stall and pretend ignorance!! You won't get a chance!! You'll get blown to hell before you can assume your true form!!" "What true form?!?!"
"Oh please!! Score of us saw it happen!!. You emerged from the carcass of a fallen Titan and in full view of your comrades!! A creature of unknown origin, ability or alliance has slipped through and infiltrated Wall Rose and that creature is you!! Under the circumstances, your being sanctioned by His Majesty and neither here nor there. You are a risk and I am well within my rights to eliminate! I will not let the situation stand!! Every moment I squalling mulling over your supposed innocence, it puts us all in jeopardy of attack from the armoured Titan."
"And how is that different from now, we couldn't do anything anyway." Drake spat in anger. "Hell, for all Im aware, your a tactical division precisely for that purpose!! I'm sorry, humanities fate hangs in the balance and I cannot waste anymore time or man power on you!! Do you understand!! My conscience will not falter to watch you die!!!" He yelled, pointing the groups direction
"Nor should it, as soldiers, they all know the price of their position. If they're this committed to defiance under threat of death so be it" the girl next to him said
"Sir, please, this may be our best chance. It will use far less artillery if he's in human form!" Someone shouted. "Excuse me!" Mikasa said. "I wouldn't! Not while I'm standing here. Unless anyone's feeling up to the task, well, in which case, we'll I'm happy to demonstrate my technique on you and every last inch of your traitorous flesh." Latina stood next to her with her blades ready
" and so am I! Besides if I recall, you were supposed to be at HQ, when we went there where the heck were you?!" She yelled, the commander stiffened " sir. There's something you should know, those two were assigned to elites fresh out of training, both equal to two hundred soldiers easily. If we lost them, it'd be quite the tragedy."
"Ok, somebody talk to me now! The hell is all this!" Eren demanded.
"Mikasa! Latina!" Armin said. "You can't take them all on! Even if you take down a few, there's no where to run!"
"Whoever comes at Eren deals with me! I'll take on the entire regiment if I have too! I don't give a damn what they try to throw at us!" Mikasa said
"This isn't the only way! They're just scared! They don't understand what's happening! We need to calm down and just talk it out!" Armin insisted, eren just stared in confusion in the back ' am I the only one here who doesn't think I'm a titan? Damn it! Why can't I remember how I got here?!' He tried to move but he couldn't ' I'm too weak to stand up, and if I say the wrong thing...is this it for me?...killed by people?..what was that he said about me coming out of a titan carcass in front of everyone? Is he insane? Why is no one making sense? That was all just a dream!...or....no. My sleeve. My arm...am I really one of them? That's not possible, it's just now I-' . "One more time!" Woerman yelled. Are you a human or a Titan!!" A glanced behind at Eren. He looked shocked and overwhelmed.' I-I don't know what to say. My life is not the only one at stake. But I mean I've always been one of you' "I'M HUMAN!!" Shouted Eren. Everything became quiet, until... " so you say. I'm left with no choice. Forgive me. When push comes to shove... All of us are monsters..."Woerman raised his arm
Frantically, Latina turned to shield her friends but Grayson had other ideas, she gasped, when he ran...
At lightning speed!
He used his powers!
He had a plan, he picked up mikasa bridal style, to her surprise. " head for the wall! I've got mikasa!"
"Wait, what?!" Eren exclaimed when he saw what Grayson did " then I'll Carry armin and eren!" Zane yelled " there's no time!" Latina exclaimed as she jump towards the group
Just when he's jumped from view
drake was panicking inside his own head, should he use his powers like his friends? Or should he not? ' no...no more pain...no more death.....I can't take it.....I don't want to lose anyone else.....I can't keep hiding who I am....'
Just as the cannons were about to shoot " NO MORE!!!" Drake yelled, drake immediately, to the others surprise
Representation
Used his powers too!
the cannons were shot and a giant dist cloud formed, just as the dust had cleared, everyone's eyes widened, a giant ice wall, had formed around the group " dear god..." the commander muttered, the rest of the regiment just stared up in shock, some screamed
A few seconds ago, before the cannon shot
But before the situation even happened, Marco was confronted by a soldier as he bawls, "Those things, they just kept coming! It's a nightmare!" Marco creased his brows together, "Take it easy" The soldier tugs on his coat, crying even more, "I watch those monsters eat my squad! I saw my friends die! I didn't even feel anger or sadness about the whole thing! All I could think was! " better you then me!" But soon my number'll be up, too. That'll be it. The end. Kaput. Game over. We're s'posed to fight those titans until they eat every last one of us! I don't wanna be eaten! Screw that-" The soldier goes to grab his blade, but Marco holds him from doing so." Hey! Come on. Keep it together okay? your not alone you know!We are all fighting our fear" He jerks his head to his right to see Sasha just staring at the ground, "Look at Sasha!" She flinches at the sound of her name, "Even after what she's seen, she's remains a proper soldier!." But Marco was wrong. Sasha leans forward and lets out a loud groan, to their surprise, "oh. My stomach aches! please cart me away with the wounded" There was a pause before the man tries to move his arm again, "Let me die! i just wanna die!!" Marco, once again, holds him, "hold on! Stop it!"
From afar, Jean drinks his water before wiping his mouth. Reiner and Bertolt are there with him too. Reiner glances over at Jean and back at his arms while Jean mumbles, "Well the order to keep her mouth shut makes perfect sense now.as if the situation isn't bad enough already.if they knew about eren..."As if on cue, a cannon fired, but soon exploded. Everyone came rushes towards the wall to see what was up, "cannon fire?" Reiner questioned "But why just one shot?" Jean asks, before hearing a soldier point out, "Look, smoke! It's inside the wall!" Many cadets started questioning what was going on, Reiner and Bertolt run out to see what was going on. Their mouths dropped when noticing the smoke. Reiner breath hitches, "Not now. Is that a titan steam?." Jean says as Reiner uses his gear and zooms off, "Hey!" Eventually, Annie and Bertolt follow him afterward. Jean shakes his head before following after them, as they run along the roofs, they see something hiding behind the smoke, when they got there, what was more shocking, it looked like ice. " what the hell is that?..."Jean's voice cracked
Inside the Ice wall
"Drake?...You okay?" Grayson asked unsurely " never better...is everyone else alright?" He turned to the others " we're good, thanks drake" Latina sighed in relief
" guys...." the powered teens flinched, the attention was drawn to mikasa, who had a shocked expression on her face, along with eren " who...did..how did you-" " it's alright, it doesn't matter anymore, they protected us" armin cut her off " wait...you knew!?" Eren exclaimed at in shock
" save the explanations for later, we still have a problem" Zane said, a depressing shadow had overcome Latina ' great...we should have listened to grandfather...now we'll be hated...'
Meanwhile outside the ice wall
" there's more of them!"
" we're gonna die!!"
" don't stop! keep firing! till that whole wall is gone!" The commander yelled up top of his lungs
Back in the ice wall
" and this is why I didn't want to use my powers! Now we're dealing with the hysterical commander! And those soldiers that are afraid of us! And won't disobey his orders!" Zane panicked " so what do we do?" Grayson asks, just then The heard a sizzling sound, they looked and saw holes began to form, drake gasped and quickly placed his hands on the wall and started closing up the holes but the cannons kept being shot, making new holes
" OWWW! you guys think of something fast! Ill try and by you some time!" He grunted " you won't be able to forever!" Mikasa exclaimed " yeah! So hurry up and think of a plan!" Drake grunted " what are we supposed to do?! Like zane said that commanders crazy, I doubt he'll listen to reason" Grayson reminded
" wait, I remember something! The cellar! I'm staring to remember" eren then held up the key around his neck
"This key. Our house in Shiganshina! My father said I had to go back there, everything hinched on it! I think it's why he gave me the power to transform. If I can make it back to our cellar, I think I can learn the titans secret." Eren pounded his fist onto ice wall. "Why did he keep this stuff secret! How many thousands of scouts have died because my father didn't share this information! It could be the last chance humanity has! And the answers been hidden away under our house this whole time?! Is he insane?!"
"Eren, we have other business to deal with!" Mikasa said.
"Listen." Eren said. "I'm getting out of here!" Everyone's eyes widened. "Where, and how!" Armin asked. "Anywhere but here. Then I can head over the wall and straight to Shiganshina . But I'll have to become a Titan again." "You can transform at will?!" Armin asked suprised. "To be honest I don't how I'm doing it Armin. I just know that I can. It's hard to put into words, but, it was like reflexive. In that moment I was focused on stopping the cannonball. That's why it's decaying. It only had the endurance for that task. Next time I'll be stronger" Eren said clenching his fist. "I'll be a 15 meter high Titan slayer was just like before."
"Eren! Your nose-" Grayson exclaimed. It was bleeding. Eren quickly wiped his hand across his face to get rid of the blood. He looked surprised. "Eren!" Armin said worriedly. "Your breath is erratic, you're pale! Something's wrong Eren! You're not well!" Eren wiped his nose and said "As things stand my health is irrelevant." "You can't transform if your dead!" Zane exclaimed
Eren ignored him. "I have two plans. all of you could make it out of here alive if you stopped trying to protect me. I've brought you nothing but trouble as it is. I'm doing this on my own from now on." Latina fists tightened. "You're out of your mind. We're coming with you. If it's to our death so be it. I'm not losing another person!"
"No way!" Eren yelled." Eren we're not exactly safe here! They know what we are now, and besides, me and the guys planned to join the scouts, so we can be far away from the people who did this to us! So deal with it" she yelled
"Then I'm coming too!" added Mikasa. "I plan to follow you whether you give permission to or not. I swear, I'll never leave your side!" Mikasa said. "Mikasa! Stop it! I'm being serious here! I'm not your little brother and I'm not some snot nosed toddler!"Eren yelled at Mikasa " " take that back!" Latina roars suddenly, to everyone's surprise " what?!"
" I mean it! Never say something like that to someone who loves you! Or you later on regret it!" She had tears running down her face
"Listen-!" Mikasa began "Now would you wait a second! If you recall I said I had two ideas." Eren said. "Oh goodie." Grayson muttered sarcastically
"Armin, I trust you to make the right decision." Armin looked up, shocked. "Huh?!" " say what?" Grasping questioned" Now hear me out. And yes, I aware how unrealistic this plan is. The best case senecio is: I try to make my Titan abilities strategically, under military direction. This might sound crazy, but if you think that you can convince the Garrison Regiment right here right now that I present no great to them, I'll trust you and go with that option. That's my second idea. If you don't think you can get it done, my last resort is my first idea. You've got 15 seconds to decide. Think you can get it done? Listen, I'll respect your opinion either way."
"Eren, why would you leave such an important decision to me?"
"Because you keep a level head. You always choose well no matter how ugly things get. I figure thats worth relying on."
"Wh-when have I done that?"
"Come on, you do it all the time. Take five years ago. If you hadn't gotten Mr Hannes for help, we'd all of been eaten by the titans." The spine of the Titan fell to the dirt behind us, causing more dust to fly, and our hair to go everywhere. Armin was shocked. He stared at us in shock. "Armin! Times up!" Urged Eren.
Armin stood up and violet felt her heart swell in my chest. "I will persuade them to trust me. You guys just act as non aggressively as you can. Agreed?" Everyone all nodded.
, Armin turned and paced to the front of the fog. He dropped his gear with a clang. Through the fog I could just make out Armin standing with his hands up.
Latina moved forward to get a better look. "Is this supposed to be your true form monster!!" Yelled Woerman. "I don't buy it!" "Eren is not the foe of Humanity!!" Yelled back Armin, his voice strained. "He is willing to cooperate with Military command and share everything we've learnt about his powers!!"
"Your cries fall on deaf ears!! He revealed his true form, along with those friends of yours! and because of that he along with them cannot leave here alive. If you insist they are not an enemys of ours show me proof!! Otherwise we'll blast them back to whatever nightmare they crawled out off!!"
"You don't need any proof!! The fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter what we perceive him to be!!"
"What!!" "The reports say that hundreds of soldiers saw him. And those soldiers say that they saw him fighting the other titans. And that means that they saw him get swarmed by the other Titans as well!! To put it plainly, the Titans saw him as they see every other human being, as their pray!! And it doesn't matter how else you may look at it!! That is an irrefutable fact!!" He finished. Most people in the stands had lowered their weapons. He's almost done it! "........"
"PREPARE TO ATTACK!!" Screeched Woerman. "Don't let yourself be deceived by his cunning lies!!" Armin gasp. Latina got to her feet, ready for anything. ' his so hysterical he won't listen to reason no matter what we say!' The group exclaimed
"The Titans behaviour has always been beyond our comprehension!! I wouldn't put it past him to assume human form!! He's speaking our language at an attempt to deceive us!! I REFUSE TO LET THIS BEHAVIOUR GO PAST ME UNCHECKED!!" the gang heard guns being loaded and swords scrapping against sword ' it's hopeless. He let logic give way to hysteria, too frightened to think it through!'
"Come on Armin!" Grayson whispered, drake was grunting more in pain, he was almost at his limit" Armin desperately looked behind him to meet eren eyes. The group ' eren! Mikasa! Guys!' all looked back at him, confident and solemn. Eren nodded. Armin turned sharply around and pounded his hand to his chest in a salute. "I AM A SOLDIER!!" He screamed. "I HAVE DEDICATED MY HEART TO THE RESTORATION OF HUMANITY SIR!!! NOTHING COULD MAKE ME PROUDER THAN DYING FOR SUCH A NOBLE CAUSE!!! IF WE WERE TO USE MY FRIENDS ABILITIES AND COMBINE IT WITH THE MAN POWER WE HAVE LEFT, I BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT!!!! WE COULD RETAKE THIS CITY!! FOR HUMANITIES GLORY AND IN WHAT LITTLE TIME I HAVE LEFT TO LIVE, I WILL ADVOCATE THEIR STRATEGIC VALUE!!!" One soldier they actually seemed to get through, he spoke up
"Captain, his words are worth listening to-" ".........QUIET........" Woerman lifted his hand. The groups eyes widened
' don't let their words sway you! They're all traitors! I swore an oath as an officer! I will cause all insubordination' latina sprinted towards Armin Despite the group yelling her name
The captains hand came down just as she leaped in front of Armin, directly in line with the cannon.
She shut her eyes tight, waiting for death. But it didn't come. She opens one eye slightly to see a man holding woerman's arm to stop it from lowering
." That's enough, you should really do something about your nervous disposition Captain woerman" She lowed her arms in shock. It was Pyxis. He was talking to Vormin whilst smiling merrily. " c-commander Pyxis?"
He gestured to Armin's salute and the red head girls courage " can you not see the soldiers heart felt salute? Or his friends courage to standing in front of him as you were about to fire" stance and his voice echoed over to two in front
Both shaking with eyes closed
"I've only just arrived but I am quite aware of our situation. Gather our reinforcements. I think we could do these young soldiers the favour of hearing them out." Armin dropped to his knees behind Latina, she to did the same, she was taking in a breath of relief, then turned to armin
"You okay" she asked. He nodded and looked at me unbelievably. "What?" "Y-you jumped in front of me." She nodded smiling weakly
"You would've died." His voice quivered she nods again. "Armin, you're my friend. Ive lost too many people in my life couldn't just let you die... "She smiled, and pulled him into a one armed hug. "Mikasa told you. Your brain is better than anyone's....Looks like you saved us." She suddenly lost consciousness " Latina?!" He gently shook her " Latina!"
" can I stop yet!?" Drake yelled from the hole in the ice " yes! you can stop!" Armin yelled back, drakes arms fell down " thank you.." he then fell limp the ground " drake!" the group, except Latina yelled, he was caught by mikasa and she lay his head to rest
The trio along with the group were on top of the wall, drake was lying on a mat, completely exhausted being treated by Latina, who used her healing powers, the group stared amazed when her hair started glowing, even the commander, then stared down at the titans bellow
" nope. Not any of you..." Pixis says, taking a swig from his flask before peering down at the Titans, " eaten by a titan wouldn't be so bad, if it was a sexy lady one."He's also known as an inveterate eccentric.
Felman paces in his spots bellow the wall, getting paranoid "What is the hells is going through the Commanders head?! going up their with those freaks and not bringing any bodyguards?!"
"well sir. That's the commander. He is well known for taking a less traditional approach." He looks over at the girl before looking behind him to hear the sound of someone calling to him, "Captain woerman, we have finished assembling the troops sir."
"ah. Well done." He glances over at everyone, who had dead looks plastered on their faces. At the wall, Pixis stares off at the fallen city, "That's that.so visiting this seller should clear everything out?" Eren nods, approving, "Yes sir.well and this I think so?" He continues to stare off, until finally turning, "For the moment, there is no way to validate all of the claims you've made for now I'll just catalogue them in here" He tapped his head., then takes steps forward towards them, "With that said, I can usually tell the difference between the unctuous and the sincere, which is why I personally guarantee your safety." The others sigh in relief, "your Cadet armin Arlert, is that correct?" Armin shoots up, "Yes, sir!"
"You mentioned a plan to harness this so called "Titan ability", and the " powers" your friends posses, and utilise them to retake the city, Do you believe it could work? Or were you grasping at straws to try and save your hides?" Armin exhales, looking away in shame, but he looks back up with determination, "well ... both, commander! I was going to suggest that eren using his strength as a titan, Could lift the giant boulder.we could use it to block the wrecked gate. While Latina, drake Grayson and zane protect him from incoming attacks, that was the best idea I was able to come up with on the spot.I-I Just wanted to make everyone see how erens and the guys might provide a solution to the problem we all face."
He turns back around." Granted, I was pretty desperate to survive.""Desperate to survive huh?....That's as credible a reason as any, son." He takes a sip from his canister, then turns back around and trots over to eren and the others, "What do you say, Cadets ?" Eren and the group look up at him, making sure, "say Sir?"
"that hole.do you think that you kids can plug it up?" They all look at the Commander a bit surprise as Eren fumbled with his words, "well I I don't know, it's possible but at the moment, I don't understand my powers any more than you do.it's just, I sort of feel Irresponsible giving you an answer because I don't really know."Pixis sighs
" yeah I'm with eren on this one, I mean you saw how terrified those people were of us" Grayson says, the rest stay quiet not knowing what to say, " are, yes.of course, my apologies.I asked you all the wrong question.are you willing to cadets.or not?"They stare at each other for a bit before Pixis eyes something else. Eren, along with his friends, turn to see the empty vast homes.
Eren turns back around and glimpses at his friends
He quickly turns to Pixis, announcing his final answer."I'll do it.I'll do it! I don't know if I can seal that hole. But...I'll do it!"
" well if he's willing to then I'm in" Latina lifts herself from where she sat, the rest of the powered teens looked surprised, then drake sits up slightly from the mat
" alright if that's how you feel" he said " drake your still weak" Mikasa stated
" yeah well I'll recharge before I jump into the fight" he replies, guess Grayson gave in "well if my bros in then so am I, someone's gotta deal with his clumsy side!" He smirks " hey!" Drake growled, Latina, zane and armin just smiled sheepishly, even mikasa had a small smile" then I'm in as well!" Zane joined, Latina turned and stared down a the titan infested city
' never in all my life, did I expect to use my powers, but I guess this is it, the time I've been waiting for' a little flame flickered in her eyes ' cousin Donna...please hurry back soon'
