CHAPTER 9
Truth [Part 1]
༺༻

Loud sounds engulfed the once happy, bustling noises of the shopping centre. Conversation and laughter were replaced with terrified screams. Gunshots echoed throughout the main area of the mall.

Eren pulled Mikasa and Connie back into a pillar. Armin guided Sasha and Annie behind a couple of bins. Ymir dragged Christa behind a pillar as well.

"Armin!" Eren yelled to the blonde who looked towards him. Eren pulled out a spare gun and threw it to the blonde. Connie and Eren pulled out their guns and started to fire.

The police in the mall also opened fire.

Eren quickly took cover and put in his earpiece. "Jean! I need you to come here, Bertholdt and Reiner you guys need to stay there just in case." He exclaimed.

"I'm on my way, also there's a guy we caught lurking around here. He's not saying anything so I'll leave him to Reiner and Bert!" Jean explained.

"Alright, now hurry your ass up! Bring more ammo." Eren ordered.

"Right!"

Eren peered around the corner and watched as the group of men moved forward. "Armin! Got anything for us?" Eren asked.

"Here!" Armin exclaimed rolling a couple of smoke bombs.

Eren grabbed the smoke bombs and both him and Connie threw one directly at the enemies side. "Police! Move back!" Eren ordered.

"Why should-!"

"Just do it! Here!" Eren exclaimed and tossed his wallet at the officer. The officer opened the wallet and found a card of his details.

"Yes sir!" The officer said threw Eren's wallet back to him. "Everyone fall back,you over there! Call for backup! I need four of you to evacuate the civilians."

They quickly shifted further into the shops, piling benches and hiding benches to use for covers. Eren quickly checked the amount of bullets he had and cursed under his breath. We won't hold up for much longer... He thought peering over the bench to see the smoke slowly clear up.

As soon as one person came into view Eren aimed and shot him on the head. "That's one down! Take down as many as you can!!" Eren ordered.

Everyone nodded and started firing as their figures became clearer and clearer. Soon enough multiple shots were fired directly at them. Eren peered to the side and started firing, to only have a bullet graze his arm.

"Jean wherever you are, hurry the fuck up!" Eren yelled taking cover once more and putting pressure on his wound.

"Eren-"

"It's fine, Mikasa," Eren smiled as he tore off a bit of his shirt and wrapped it around the wound, "we just need to hold on for a little bit longer.

The enemy proceeded to move forward once again, until there was a sudden sound of an engine roaring. A car broke through the entrance of the mall, soaring up into the air.

Jean opened the car door and shot a couple of the men. The car landed making him fall over, he quickly got to his feet and hid behind the piled benches where Eren was.

"Sorry I'm late, here!" Jean passed a few ammo loadouts to everyone.

"Take care of Mikasa, Connie with me!!" Eren ordered.

The two jumped over their covers, ignoring Mikasa's cries as they hid behind the car and continued to fire at the enemy. Shots were heard from the side and Armin pointed his gun at one of the men, instantly killing him.

"They've got backup!!" Armin warned reloading his gun with new ammo, "Annie you need to get out of here. It's not safe."

"Its fine Armin, beside we've got company." Annie stated pointing to behind them. The police officers were being taken down by another group of men from behind them.

"Jean!!" The blonde yelled.

"Here!" Jean yelled throwing a gadget to Armin who pressed a button on it. The gadget then unfolded its arms and legs and he threw it directly to where the enemies were hiding.

There was a sudden sound of screaming an explosion that had kill them all.

"We've got back up now!" A police officer yelled as people from the police force surrounded their side of the mall and proceeded to fire at the enemy.

Slowly they moved forward, suppressing the enemy forces. Eren noticed three men rushing out to the entrance of the building. "Shit! They're escaping!!" Eren yelled and ran out of his cover.

All the men fired at him but he slid past them, firing at them while doing so. Eren quickly threw the same gadget Armin had at them as he made it outside.

There outside was a helicopter which had begun to take off. "Damn it!" Eren growled firing at the person who stood at the edge, looking down at him.

The man removed his hoodie, he fixed his glasses and smirked. "I'll be sure to see you again, Eren!" The man said before the helicopter had gone away.

He... knows me...? Eren asked but then shook his head and ran back into the building to see that the rest of the enemy were all dead.

The police discussed things with Armin to clear them of the incident and ambulances soon arrived to treat any wounded civilians. Eren let out a sigh and ruffled his hair with his hand.

Why... just who are these people? He asked himself.

"Eren?"

The brunette looked up to meet Mikasa's worried deep grey eyes. A small smiled formed but it failed to hold together and a frown replaced his smile. "Sorry... can we head home...?" He asked with a tired tone.

"Sure." Mikasa smiled.

"Oh! Eren, let me tag along! Reiner and Bertholdt are still dealing with the guy we saw lurking near Mikasa's house." Jean explained.

Eren quietly nodded and got into his car after waiting for Mikasa to say her goodbyes with her friends. "Are your friends alright?" Jean asked on the way to her house.

"Yeah... Christa and Sasha are really shaken up, so I don't think they'll be coming to school for awhile..." Mikasa frowned.

"Sorry, we should've prioritized you and your friends first." Eren spoke his eyes saddening at his efforts.

"No it's fine! I'm sure they'll get through it, we have each other!" Mikasa exclaimed trying her best to make the brunett beside her feel better.

Jean who silently watched smiled a little.

The trio had finally arrived at Mikasa's house. Eren opened the door and Jean lead them to the living room where he, Reiner and Bertholdt had tied up the man.

Eren walked into the living room and immediately spotted the dark haired man. He felt something tug at the back of his shirt and he looked back.

"Dad...?" Mikasa let out.

The dark haired man responded to the all to familiar voice and turned his head to meet Mikasa's, scared and saddened grey eyes. His eyes shined with happiness, seeing Mikasa there before his eyes.

"Mikasa! So they bought you! The Impero!!" He exclaimed.

Eren's ears twitched at the mention of the name. He clenched his fist and let out a growl. Slowly he approached Mikasa's father and grabbed him by his shirt.

"What did you say?!" An enraged Eren asked.
