Attack on Titan x Male Reader : Marley's Spy

Siege of Utgard Castle

After about a minute or so, with a number of Titans being killed already in that short amount of time, Lynne returned to the cadets to bring them some bad news. "Titans are in the castle. Get below and improvise some sort of barricade. Be careful. Retreat back up here as a last resort. Now, go!"

"Got it!" The rookies all responded with, rushing past a pained Y/N and down the stairs.

"Seriously?" Y/N asked as he moved his hand off the side of his head, now stained with blood. "It's like I'm not even here."

Reiner was the first one down the stairs, grabbing a torch and racing towards the first door. "I'll go see how far they've gotten in. You find something to board up the entrance, whatever isn't nailed down!"

"Reiner, wait." Krista protested.

"What the hell?" Connie added in.

"Hang on, we're coming! Wait up." Bertholdt called out, having pushed passed the others to get down quicker.

"Are you kidding me? Why's he always gotta be the first one to step up? Give us a break." Connie groaned in frustration.

"I know." Bertholdt agreed. "It's a habit of his."

Carefully, Reiner pushed open the first door, and he saw that it was empty, that no Titans had made it this far into the castle yet, so he went through and down the next set of stairs.

Meanwhile, Y/N was the last one down the stairs, and instead of following the others, he turned to open the door on this floor, and inside the room was an old cannon, and if the worst happened, they could push it down the stairs.

"Hey, you three." Y/N spoke up to Krista, Connie and Ymir. "Come help me with this." He gestured them over, and as they were pushing it towards the stairs, they heard Reiner shout.

"They're in the tower!" They heard him yell. "Get down here and help me!"

"Push harder!" Y/N told them, getting a move on in getting the cannon in place at the door to the stairs.

"Guys, heads up!" Y/N shouted down below once the cannon was in position on the staircase.

"Where'd you find-" Reiner shook that question off. "Good work. Is there ammo?"

"Yeah right, I wish." Y/N responded. "We've got another idea. Get out of the way!"

The four of them pushed the cannon forwards, and down the stairs it went, accelerating at a ridiculous speed, with Reiner and Bertholdt just managing to jump out of the way before the cannon smashed into the Titan that had broken the door, blocking the door and burying the Titan as well.

"May miracles never cease." Ymir spoke as she and the others cautiously came down the stairs.

"Y/N, you're bleeding." Krista had finally noticed, the others also taking note. "Are you alright."

"Yeah, it's just a cut." Y/N reached up, feeling blood still coming out the wound, before wiping his hand on his pants, luckily they weren't white. "I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" Krista continued to pry, reaching up to have a look. "It looks like you split your head open."

"Trust me, I'll be fine." He grabbed her arm and lowered it away from his head. "The bleeding will stop soon enough."

"What now?" Connie asked, pulling out a small knife he managed to procure. "A knife's the only thing we've got. Should I cut the nape or-"
