Every Single One (Eren X Reader)

010

Author's Note:
plot twist--another AN but at the top this time!
just wanted to remind you that Nack was on team 34, Eren and Armin's trainee squad
he was eaten by a titan when he went to take out the one that went after Thomas :(
he comes up again and I wasn't sure if everyone knew who he was, so there you have it
sorry to interrupt your reading, simps! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I squatted in the rafters next to Jean, leaning forward and watching the titans below. I recognized the titan that had eaten Mina and scowled. A titan was nearing the group in the lift with their rifles ready, threatening to tear Armin's plan to shreds and kill everyone.

"One strike..." I thought, "I can't waste it." I prayed that those in the lift would be able to hold out as long enough for all of the titans to gather around them, leaving themselves vulnerable.

"Wait..." Marco said quietly, "Ready..." he moved his hand to the trigger, "Fire!" Gunshots erupted throughout the chamber and bullets ripped through the titans' eyes and faces. I struggled to see through the steam as I leaped from the rafters to the titan underneath me, holding my blades ready. They sliced through the titan's nape, though they were duller than I thought they'd be. I checked to make sure everyone had killed theirs. Titans fell left and right, but one remained standing. It was Sasha's--the one who ate Mina. I shouted in rage and sprinted towards it as it leaped towards Sasha, who dodged, throwing herself to the side.

Thankfully, the titan landed on the floor where I could reach its nape. I quickly jumped on top of it and cut off its nape in an instant as Annie dispatched the titan Connie had failed to kill. "We got them all!" Jean called out to the cadets in the elevator, "Begin the resupply!" I smiled and rolled my eyes when Marco fainted from relief but double-checked to make sure he was okay, just in case.

Daylight half-blinded me as the cadets and I left the storeroom to rendezvous with the rest of the army, astounded we'd pulled off something as crazy as killing seven titans in a storeroom with a few rifles, seven blades, and no ODM gear. I landed next to Mikasa on a rooftop and followed her gaze. I stared in horror as titans ate the titan who had saved us.

"Can..." Armin said, "Can it not regenerate?" Jean, Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt had joined us on the roof.

"I thought if we studied it, maybe it could be used to escape this harsh world," Mikasa commented as Reiner nodded.

"I agree," he said, stepping forward, "If it gets eaten, we won't learn anything." He said we should try to keep it alive by killing the ones next to it. Immediately, I redied my blades and turned back toward the titans, ready to kill them with everything I had.

"Slow down, Y/N!" Jean grabbed my arm just as I took a step towards the edge of the roof, "Are you insane, Reiner?" he asked, "Now's our chance to escape!" Annie looked at him with her usual unbothered expression and pointed out that there's a possibility it could help us. If it could it'd be a better weapon than any cannon.

I noticed another titan coming towards the group of titans eating the abnormal alive. Armin did too. "That's..."

"...the titan that ate Nack," I said, finishing Armin's sentence for him. The abnormal must've noticed as well, as he broke free of the titans surrounding him. I noticed both of his arms were missing as he flung himself at the titan who ate Nack, going straight for his nape. He lifted the titan up by his neck, throwing the titan with his teeth at the titans who were eating him just a moment before. The abnormal roared after killing them all.

"Incredible," I breathed, "how did it even..."

Suddenly, the titan collapsed and hit the ground, face down, exhausted. Everyone gasped.
