Thirty minutes after leaving the Yeager Residence, Eren and Frieda had roamed through the streets of Shiganshina and made their way to the Garrison barracks. They took a tour through the barracks, thanks to Hannes and stole some uniforms and some maneuver gear. Frieda tied her long black hair into a bun, leaving two bangs on the side of her face. Frieda had no knowledge or experience with maneuver gear, so Eren carried her over the Shiganshina wall.
A few hours pass and it is now four-thirty in the afternoon. Eren Yeager and Frieda Reiss were outside of the Shiganshina gates, dressed as Garrison soldiers and waiting for the Warrior Unit to arrive. There were no titans around on the plain field and the sun had begun to set, slowly.
'So, this is what it's like to be outside the walls.' Frieda thought, as she looked back at fifty-meter wall, then downwards at the plain grass field around the two of them. There were two trees that Frieda had spotted.
"They should be coming at any moment, now. I know it." Eren said, looking straight forward towards their direction.
"Eren. I'm not going to lie, but... I'm starting to feel a little nervous." Frieda's legs begun shaking a bit and she tug on Eren's sleeve.
"Don't worry, Frieda. Remember. We went over this. We're going to try and convince them"
"I know... but, what if I fail?" Frieda looked down at Eren's legs with doubt. "What if I hesitate to stop them from killing innocents? Then, you coming back in time for me, and meeting your mother and father again would've all been for nothing..."
Eren used his left hand and lifted Frieda's chin up to his level. "Hey. That's not going to happen."
"But, how are you certain?" Frieda asked.
"I made a promise to dad that I would find another way to protect everyone, other than using the rumbling." Eren told Frieda.
Frieda gasped. "You were going to use me to activate the rumbling?"
Eren blinked for a second. "I'll be honest. Before I found you, yesterday, I was. But, not anymore. You're special to me, now." Eren told Frieda, honestly.
"I kind of needed that. Thank you." Frieda smiled at Eren. Her legs stopped shaking, briefly and felt a bit relieved that Eren wasn't just going to use her as some kind of pawn. She then leaned her face forward to kiss Eren's lips, but they were interrupted by the sound of large footsteps coming their direction.
"They're here." Eren said, as he used his eyes to spot the Warrior Unit, miles ahead.
Frieda looked towards Eren's direction and spotted a bulky Titan with silver hair and golden armor on its flesh running towards their direction. "What is that?"
"It's Reiner." Eren answered, recognizing the Armored Titan. He remembered the times that they had fought as Titans. He then glanced behind Reiner to see a number of Pure Titans running behind the Warrior Unit at high speeds. "And look whom he had brought with him."
Frieda grunted as she glanced behind Reiner, miles away to see a number of Titans running behind him. "Are they..."
"Eldians from Marley, whom were sent to Paradis as Pure Titans. Yeah." Eren said.
"Mmph," Frieda held Eren's hand, tightly.
"Get ready." Eren said.
Frieda remained silent, then begun to activate her Founding Titan powers. Her light blue eyes slowly begun to glow.
The Warrior Unit consisted of the Colossus Titan, the Armored Titan, the Jaws Titan and the Female Titan. They were sent to Paradis to capture the Founding Titan and bring them to Marley. On their first two days, the Warrior Unit had lost the Jaws Titan to a mindless Titan, causing their plan to change. But, a young Reiner convince his comrades to carry on the mission.
