"...stop...Jean!"

Azure felt herself slowly drift into consciousness. Voices could be heard from all around her.

She slowly opened her eyes, letting out a groan.

"Stop it, Jean! She's awake now!"

Azure saw Marco Bodt come into view. He helped her sit up. "Are you alright, Azure?" He asked.

She watched as her friends slowly crowded around her. Jean, Reiner, Mina, Marco, Sasha, Bertholdt, and Annie looked down at her.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"You passed out in that house. Do you remember it?" Marco asked.

Azure clutched her head, trying to remember.

There was a house...a fire...a little girl and her father were inside...she tried to help...

Azure quickly sat up. "What happened to the girl and her dad? They're alive, right!?"

Mina gripped her hand. "They're fine," she said.

Marco nodded. "We heard someone screaming for help, and it was a little girl. She said you and her dad were trapped inside the house. Reiner got you both out in time, thankfully."

Azure turned to Reiner with a small smile. "Thank you, Reiner."

The blonde man smirked. "All in the name of heroics, Azure."

Azure slowly stood up on her feet. Marco and Mina held her arms to steady her.

"Alright. What's going on? Catch me up on everything," she said.

"Okay, well," Jean started. "After saving you, we fought our ways into the headquarters where we met these cowards-" he gestured towards the supply team sitting on the floor, looking down in embarrassment. "-who were too afraid to supply the rest of us risking our lives out here. Then you woke up."

Azure nodded. She looked towards the supply team with pity. "Don't be too hard on them, Jean. It's easy to become discouraged out here."

Jean sighed. "Fine."

Suddenly, a pair of titans rammed their heads into the window, shattering the glass. They looked upon the group with wide eyes and hungry smiles. Mina let out a scream.

"We're all gonna die!" Yelled Sasha.

Suddenly, Connie, Mikasa, and Armin came crashing through a window.

"Azure! You're okay!" Connie cheered.

"Yeah, and not for long!" Sasha cried.

"No! We have a plan!" Armin said. "Look outside!"

Azure looked towards the two smiling titans. Their faces suddenly smushed together, and they went flying. The ally titan stood at the window, looking at its hand.

"What the hell!?" Yelled Jean.

"Armin, your plan worked!" Connie cheered.

"Plan!? What plan!?" Jean asked.

"We found a titan that kills other titans. Armin suggested that we use it to our advantage, and it paid off!" Connie said. "In fact, we could probably use it again, couldn't we?"

Jean vigorously shook his head. "No way! We can't trust a titan!"

"What choice do we have?" Mikasa said.

"Besides," Armin said. "I have another plan!"

Jean solemnly nodded. "Fine. What're you thinking, Armin?"
