Just a Moment too Late | Part 38

"Mikasa, Armin, get back! It's going to get dangerous if they're this close." I warned, jumping backwards and connecting my hooks to a nearby tree to help propel myself back towards the wall. As I continued gaining space, I spotted a massive shadow loom over me, I quickly glanced over my shoulder, fearing of the worst, however, I was pleasantly surprised as I spotted Eren running along side us as we made our way back towards the wall.

Although I didn't think it was appropriate, a small smile lifted on my lips. He really does trust them...and us.

"There ya go! Good decision!" A soldier from Hange's squad yelled in slightly triumph as Eren closed in on the wall next to us.

"He's back to his senses." Mikasa whispered out as her eyes ran over Eren's body. She was right, he really did have full control this time. It wasn't like the other times before, this time, it was visible in his eyes, he had a clear head and could follow directions.

"Yeah, but you were right about Reiner. Getting away from him his going to be impossible." Armin noted, trailing his gaze towards Reiner as he slowly walked over towards us, steam raising from both his arm and face as his body healed itself quickly. This wasn't going to look good if Reiner all of a sudden started charging towards the walls, who knows how much damage he could do.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure jump off the wall and land on Eren's shoulder. As my eyes caught a glimpse of their brown hair that was messily tied into a pony tail, I immediately knew that Hange had taken action. Although most times she would be extremely cautious about attempting to approach Eren while he was transformed, I guess she took the chance, standing on his shoulder and initiating the next plan that we had to take down Reiner.

Although I couldn't hear them, I caught a small glimpse of Eren nodding and I couldn't help but feel the corners of my lips twitch...we finally made progress. Hange's figure beamed with delight as she noticed Eren's gesture and I couldn't help but share it with her as she gazed back up at me, a blush and smile encompassing her face as she waved before maneuvering back towards us.

Now, we just need to--

My thoughts were caught off as I saw Reiner take off, racing towards Eren from his position. He was fast for someone that carried multiple plates of heavy armor, as he ran across the terrain, the trees and even birds flying by were blown away and thrashing against the harsh breeze that followed.

"He's going to run him into the wall! Move!" I yelled out, straining my voice in the process but I was at least able to warn everyone in time. I quickly jumped off from the wall, lowering myself towards the ground further away from their fight.

I kept my gaze on their fight, and it seems that even Eren was caught of guard, forgetting to block or even defend himself as Reiner charged into him, using his shoulder to shove Eren into the wall. As he laid on the floor, Reiner was quick to take control of the fight, hovering over Eren and keeping him restrained.

Reiner hastily took his shot, raising his fist into the air and bringing it down upon towards Eren's face, however, Eren dodged it--slightly titling his head to the side as he was on the floor. However, if he didn't move from that position soon, it wouldn't end pretty. Just being hit by one of Reiner's punches while Eren was on the ground was a clear shot for him to abduct Eren.

"Eren! Don't let him get on top of you!" Armin yelled from a few meters to my right. I quickly shot my gaze back at Eren and he soon noticed as well. His sense of hearing was quite good. I watched at they wrestled, Eren desperately trying to turn Reiner over while still dodging his punches that would come ever so often. Eventually, Eren was able to shift his leg in-between their bodies, laying his foot onto Reiner's side he quickly pushed Reiner off and ran back towards the wall--gaining some space.
