Not The One Who Dies ⇀ Attack on Titan *Original*

Part 33: The Battle for Humanity

Logan's eyes peered open as the sky lit up in a bright orange hue, signaling a titan transformation. Had the scouts arrived already? How long had he been unconscious? He staggered to his feet, looking up at the hole he mad through the roof of the old home, landing seemingly straight in their living room.

He sighed as he checked his ODM gear, making sure it was still functional before he used it to blast upwards, flinging himself through the air, out of the house. He spotted scouts with their hoods up, remembering Erwin's strategy of hiding Eren's identity until he was ready to plug the hole. He looked towards where the hole had been, expecting to see a few titans lingering there to stop the seal, but to his surprise, there was a hardened titan sitting there. They had already sealed the wall? What happened to the shifters that had been there when Logan and his brother arrived.

He spotted the armored titan claiming the wall as three scouts stood atop it, he could tell one was Erwin by his missing arm, the boy quickly flew through the air, landing next to the trio, finding the other two to be Armin and Levi.

"Ah, glad you could finally join us, Logan." Erwin said causing Logan to hesitantly nod, knowing that the next person he was to greet would be a difficult one.

"Oi, there you are brat. Where the hell is your brother? I need to beat the hell out of him for leaving without telling me." Levi muttered, while he was happy to see the boy alive, he had a sickening feeling that he needed to get rid of, and seeing his boyfriend would cure them.

"I- He's gone, Levi... We got ambushed when we got here, they were waiting for us." Logan muttered out, staring at the ground. Levi closed his eyes for a second before sighing, looking over at the titan standing in the middle of the line.

"Was it him? The furry one?" Levi asked causing Logan to look towards the titan, rage and hatred beginning to build in his body. He sighed as he stared at the other titan.

"Yep. That one." Logan growled out, his nose twitching with anger. The two stood there, looking at the monster that had taken everything from them. Even if Zeke Yeager didn't know yet, he had signed his death warrant.

"Logan, How'd the test go yesterday?" Erwin asked, now having a formidable weapon to go against the titans.

"I'll be your weapon, Erwin. You just aim me." Logan growled

"I have a plan, we just need to get everyone in place. Levi, go to the horses, make sure neither Bertholdt or Reiner get to them. Logan, stay with me. Armin, you and your team are on the armored titan." Erwin planned causing Logan to nod, looking to the somewhat nervous blonde boy who must've been doing mental gymnastics to figure out how to beat Reiner.

"You have the brains, you have Eren, you can do this, Armin." Logan encouraged causing Armin to nod before flying off towards the his squad.

"Oi, brat..." Levi asked out before he jumped from the wall. Logan rose an eyebrow as he looked to him.

"Let's kill that son of a bitch." Levi said causing Logan to give a determined nod. Levi jumped from the wall, using his ODM gear to fly swiftly to the horses below.

Reiner climbed the wall, finally arriving at the top, looking forwards to his leader before to his left, finding Erwin Smith, the fearless commander of the scouts. He almost scoffed before turning to his right, finding one of the captains of the scouts. Logan Ackerman looked up towards the armored titan, rolling his neck before he brought his hand up to his mouth.

"I told you... You'd die for that." Logan mumbled, biting hard down onto his hand causing blood to stain his teeth. He stared up at the armored titan in the split second before the sky was illuminated in a yellow light, the familiar thunder clap coming from above.
