Nobody's POV

Armin looked over his body in confusion. "Why... Why won't my body move?" He muttered, eyes wide. "Please, you have to move. Everyone's going to die. Reiner. Pieck. Jean. Connie. Annie... Y/n. All of them!" Armin pleaded, tears coming out his eyes.

"Don't you get it?! They're going to die! Wake up, you piece of trash! Filthy bastard! Useless idiot! I hate you! I always have! You've done nothing but betray me! The life I was given! The expectations! The responsibilities! Everything, all of it! You haven't been able to give them anything in return! So why are you dead like that?! MOVE! I said MOVE!"

He put his fist and head on the ground, cursing everything in his life. He noticed he was holding sand in his hand. "Sand..." The sand dropped down his hand.

"Think. If I was already dead, how would I be able to think with no oxygen coming to my brain? This isn't a dream. It's not a vision. It's not even the after life. This is the path. This is reality!"

Armin looked up at the blue light in front of him. "I'm supposed to be in a Titan's mouth right now... So why do I know what everyone's doing? Because all Eldians are connected via this path? In that case, there might be something I can do here. Yeah. Think. Think!" He turned his upper of his body around, and saw Zeke.

Armin walked over in front of Zeke and kneeled down. "Hello, Mister Zeke." He greeted.

"Hello, Eren's friend. So Ymir ate you too..." Zeke spoke, looking up at Armin.

Your POV

"Speed up, now!" Reiner shouted at Falco. We held on to the nets as Falco dove towards the Founding Titan as the War Hammers started shooting arrows at us.

"Let's go! You go help Armin! We'll come back later with Falco to back you up!" Reiner and Jean jumped off of Falco.

"Don't die on us!" Connie and I said to Reiner and Jean. I saw Pieck run down the spear one of the War Hammers were holding, transforming again and biting the nape of the Titan. She started biting off multiple of the Titan's napes, saving Jean in the process. I saw her get attack by two of the Jaws, then transforming again and going back to action. She did it another time, catching me by surprise.

"Even Bertholdt's being used as a puppet..." Annie sighed.

"There!" Mikasa pointed. Annie and Mikasa started bickering over which one of them they were talking about.

"Mikasa! You need to take this seriously!" Annie scolded her. 

"I am!" Mikasa said. I facepalmed.

"Oh! Only that one is running away!" Connie pointed to a pig-looking Titan.

"That?! That's an Okapi!" Annie shouted. We all jumped off Falco. I bit my finger, transforming along with Annie.

We landed on the Founding, and started fighting the Titans. I spawned my strong vine and started whipping them in the air, killing them. Annie and I looked behind us, noticing the Okapi Titan was escaping.

Mikasa called out for Annie and grappled on to her hand. Annie threw her towards the Okapi, making her fly through the air. We both gave Mikasa back up and killed the Titans that were headed towards Mikasa.

Noticing the Okapi was heading for Bertholdt, Annie and I turned towards each other, thinking the same thing.

I saw Annie get tackled and went back to help her, but I got tackled myself. "Annie! Y/n!" I hear Mikasa call out to us. I felt the weight lighten on my back and sat up. Bertholdt helped us..? I looked around and the Titan shifters started attacking the other Titans. I quickly caught up with Connie and Mikasa, Mikasa slicing the Okapi's mouth.
