Year 850 - Paradis Island
"So there are still people outside the walls. Who are the reason we are being attacked and eaten by Titans." Eren formed his hands into fists. "Titans who were once humans themselves, just like us." he couldn't believe it.
Ever since he returned back to Shiganshina with the recon squad to search for the truth about the Titans, which was hidden in his father's basement, he just couldn't see that the true Enemies weren't the Titans, but the humans outside the Wall.
Humans he didn't even know existed.
Everyone thought that they were the only people left and that the rest had been eaten by the Titans. But all that was a lie. Their memories were erased so that they could not remember the past.
But since they had been in the cellar, they now knew the truth.
They knew that the Eldia had used the powers of the Titans to suppress the Marleys back then. They knew that there had been a huge Titan war between the Marleyan and Eldian, who now possessed 6 of 8 Titan powers.
And they also knew that back then, King Karl Fritz had brought the Eldia to Paradis Island to live peacefully without guilt of the past by erasing their memories and making them think that they were the only survivors. Who now had to fight with the Titans. But all that, was a lie and now they knew about it.
"We are hated by the whole world," Eren whispered. His eyes turned red and he looked to the ground. He had wasn't able to look at his friends. He didn't want to see their pain. He knew they were shocked by the truth, too.
"And not only that," he continued, "our own people hate us too. They think we abandoned them to start a new beginning here on the island with the rest of the people." he was talking about the Eldia in Marley.
No one said anything, everyone in the room remained silent.
Humanity saw the Eldia as monsters, the True Enemies of Earth. All these years they were hated by the outside world and they had no idea. Just as Eren had viewed the Titans as the enemy, so the rest of the world, viewed the humans inside the Wall. Ghastly creatures that were the biggest danger to humanity.
"But are we really the bad guys?" he asked, his gaze now forward.
No one knew what Eren was getting at.
"We fled to another island to give them peace. And what are they doing? They lock our people up in ghettos, and turn them into Brainless Titans with a serum, just because they left their territory, or because they don't share the same opinion as the Marley. And then they send these Brainless Titans to our island to exterminate our nation. They want to kill us all until not a single one of us is left."
For the first time, Eren felt more hatred for something that wasn't the Titans. It was the humans themselves.
Better said, the Marleyans.
He sighed.
"And now they want to attack our island to steal our mineral resources and to take back the Attacking and Colossal Titan."
Armin put his hand on Eren's shoulder, "Eren..." but he didn't respond to him. "What are you planning to do Eren?" he asked, seeking eye contact.
Eren was looking at him now, his expression no longer looked angry but rather tired, it made Armin nervous to see him like this. He knew Eren was up to something.
"Armin," his voice sounded calm, "you want to see the ocean, right?" Armin looked at him in wonder, but finally nodded. "I'll fulfill that dream for you, I promise," he whispered. His look was serious and Armin tried to figure out what Eren was trying to imply.
"Ere-"
"I will kill them," he murmured, "every single one." that had been his goal now.
There was no other way but to kill them all. If he doesn't kill them, they would be killed by the Marleyans. But how he would do that, he didn't know yet. After all, Eren still didn't have enough experience to use his Attacking Titan properly. And it might take him a long time to get to Marley, because the land is a whole ocean away from here. So he would have to start all over again.
From now on, they weren't just fighting the Titans, they were fighting the rest of the world.
And he wouldn't hesitate for a single second to kill every Marley he will come across.

Hey! so not to confuse you, we're in season 3 of the anime right now. I guess it's episode 22 where they found out about the Marley.
And it's not going to follow the manga or the anime from here on out, it's going to be a completely different story that doesn't follow the manga.
What you should also know is that there is no Founding Titan in this story. Eren has the Attack Titan and Armin has the Colossal. (I think the story is clear)
