Just as you were about to strike a voice yelling stops you. "Guys! Get down from there and take cover! What the hell is Erwin doing? He's off his rocker. Look!" Hannes yells out. Following his instructions you look out to see a group of titans being led towards you all. "The lunatics leading titans straight towards us!" All of you froze, what could you do? "Jump, damn you! Get the hell out of there!" And that spurs you all on, you tugging on Jean's cloak as you maneuvered away from the armored titan and onto a horse. Erwin's voice finding it's way to your ears.

"Squadrons break! Make the titans scatter!"

You do as Erwin said and quickly lead your horse in a different direction than where Reiner was. Luckily the titan's did not follow you. Instead they continued on their path to the titan shifter. As the two packs of titan's meet Reiner leans forward with his left shoulder and rushes through the group sending some of the titans that attack Reiner head on flying. However Reiner was quickly outnumbered and Ymir quickly joined in the fighting.

As you all (the rest of the 104th cadet core minus Krista) watch the titans swarm Reiner and Ymir a question arises.

"Is this hell?"

"Not yet. But it will be." Erwin answers Jean. The commander keeps riding on, him calling out another command "All soldiers charge! We've come to the moment of truth! Mankind's fate is decided now!" Erwin's blade points to the sky as if it's a beacon "There is no future in which we reclaim these lands without Eren-- and there will never be! Go! Recover Eren from the armored titan and retreat!" Erwin does a quick salute and his horse neighs in agreement, it kicking up so that the commander look's as regal as he can leading hundreds, if not more to their deaths, sad part is? You all know it. "Your heart and soul to the cause!"

"Hah," A huff of a laugh and a smirk comes across your face "To hell I go!" Both you and Mikasa take off.

"It's working!" You look to where Jean is pointing to see Reiner punching his was through some of the titans, Bertholdt and Eren exposed. "His hands are down!"

"Now's our chance!" Mikasa is still very much angry.

"Uh, Mikasa? You can see those titans, right?" Jean ask, looking at the girl as if she's lost her mind. "I mean, I get it, you're strong. You and Y/N came in first and second place in the whole cadet core but that's one hell of a mess. Slipping through isn't going to be easy."

"Advance!" Erwin yells. You all clear a tree a titan that was lying in wait launches out and makes off with Erwin. Your eyes widen in shock but you don't look back instead urging your horse to go faster.

"Commander Erwin!!" A frantic voice yells.

Despite the peril the man is in he yells another command "I said advance, goddamn it! Eren's right in front of you! DO NOT FAULTER!!"

And you all do as told, no matter the number of people that die around you, you continue on. Your sights set on saving Eren and saving Eren only.

Once Reiner is in clear distance you stand on your horse ready to deploy at any second. Seeing Mikasa go after Eren you quickly change course and slash the nape of a titan's neck, Mikasa now in it's hold. Her letting out grunts of pain. Mikasa quickly drops you maneuvering towards her to check if she's okay.

Mikasa gives you a nod of thanks before maneuvering somewhere else. You land near Armin who's lying his ass off, quiet beautifully you must say, about the object of Bertholdt's affections. Annie Leonhart.

"Shut your mouth, hell spawn! I'll kill you!" And by Bertholdt's reaction it worked. At Bertholdt's second of anger, the second where lost himself. Erwin slashes off the cloth keeping Eren to Reiner and Eren falls off. You dropping from where you were and catching him. Carrying him Bridal style as you fell on your horse, immediately kicking off and rushing elsewhere.

As a titan is hurled your way and you curse glancing back as Reiner let's out a roar, another titan hurtling your way, except this time... You couldn't avoid it. The titans lands near you sending You and Eren sprawling, Mikasa, just next to you and Eren, is no better.

Eren pops up, you next although you get up a bit slower. However Mikasa let's out a hiss pain as she get's up, very slowly you may add. You open your mouth to ask if she's alright but the familiar stomp of a titan causes all three of you to look up in horror. A titan, it's lips parted into a wide smile, sunken gray eyes, long neck, and dirty brown hair that stopped about mid cheek. This thing was familiar to you... Eren had described it only once, but the reason why this one titan stuck in your head was because this titan... this cheery looking thing... killed Eren's mom.

The titan's hand reaches out toward the three of you but Eren can only stare at the hand in horror, Mikasa much like Eren in a stuck state. You push the two on the ground "Get down!" You shout. As you cover Eren a new person appears from no where, Hannes. Him holding the hand up as well.

"Are you insane?!" Eren yells out.

Hannes hacks the hand and it retreats, the smiling titan staring at its hand. Hannes lets out a laugh and turns towards the three of you with a small smile "Can you believe this luck? Ha! Crazy, right?  Watch me!" Hannes unsheathes his swords holding them to either side of his body "This is the least that I owe your mother. She'll finally have the vengeance she deserves!"

Dying because of guilt is not an honorable death at all.

You only watch as Hannes does his best at killing the smiling titan. You about to maneuver up to help.

"Mikasa stop! You're in no shape to--!" You look back at the duo at Eren's yelling. Mikasa has indeed gotten up. "My hands! Help me!"

Mikasa looks back at Eren in concern "What'll you do?"

"Come on!" Eren's voice is filled with desperation and even you feel bad for him. I have to be the one that kills that thing!"

"Y/N, do you think I sho-"

You walk towards the two "Yes." You take out a knife from your collection, one that you lifted from Levi. "You don't hurry up i'll do it myself."

Mikasa nods and crouches next to Eren her cutting off the bonds around his wrist.

"This one belongs to me! Wait here." Eren yells as he runs off. You plop down in the grass, boredly watching, using the knife you stole back to clean from beneath your fingernails.

"Eren!" Mikasa yells out she moves to reach toward him but flinches back due to pain "Don't go! We have to get you out of here!"

"Not until I've settled the score. Stand back." Eren then plunges his teeth into his hand.

Nothing.

You let out a sigh, here we go again.
