The sun began to rise as the Squad rode on the Cart Titan's back. Everywhere they looked they saw the millions of Colossal Titans marching as they followed the Founder. Parts of the Colossal Titan army were in the water while some where still flattening the earth they trudged through.

As they went for the port, Jean looked back at Paradis and noticed something rather peculiar.

"Guys?! Am I seeing this?" He questioned with confusion. The Squad looked at him and noticed the same thing he did.

"The Walls...They're still there.... What is going on?"

"That's strange..." Armin said.

"If he wanted to destroy the world, wouldn't he have unhardened all the walls? What's Eren planning?" Jean questioned.

"Only he has the answers... We don't even know what to expect anymore." Connie said.

"Looks like he only unhardened Wall Maria..." Armin stated.

"Maria is the outermost wall and it wraps around both Rose and Sina. It's only reasonable to say that it would have the greatest number of Titans...With Maria alone, Eren could destroy most of the world. Plus, if he unhardened Rose and Sina, it will put Historia in danger, and I doubt he wants that." Armin explained.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." Jean said.

"Whatever Eren is planning, it clearly isn't good. I couldn't care less if he's doing this for us. He's taking this too far." Jean thought.

"We're here...." Hanji announced.

"Everything looks fine. No Titans have trampled the area. Let's go."

The Squad walked around the port to get what they needed. Onyankopon knew the place well so,  he led to the Squad to the flying boats.

"The flying boats are stored in the hangars. Last time I checked there were two of them, but only one was fully operable. However, the flying boats run on fuel, but that should be fairly easy to find around here. You guys can go to the armory and grab whatever you need from there. I'll take care of the flying boat." Onyankopon explained.

They all nodded a "yes" and separated from Onyankopon. They all ran as fast as they could and as they did, they could hear the stomps getting closer. They looked up and over the hill where they saw the heads of the Titans peeking through.

"Shit....Pick up the pace." Levi ordered.

And so, they did. They ran for a while longer and took a sharp right where they saw the armory's heavy metal door. The door was closed and there was no way of it being opened unless they had a key.

"It needs a key." Connie stated the obvious.

"Move. I'll open it." Levi said.

They all backed away and Levi attached a Thunder Spear on the door. He then backed away and detonated the Thunder Spear.

"Yep, that should do it." Hanji said as the smoke cleared.

They headed inside the armory and searched thoroughly. The place was filled with all sorts of weaponry. Rifles, ammo, artillery components, of course explosive. That was exactly what they needed and Armin ran into them.

"Hey, guys, over here." Armin announced.

They all ran to him and saw the two long strips of explosives.

"This should do." Jean said.

"Yeah, let's take it back to the flying boat. Onyankopon should have it all set up by the time we get there." Hanji said.
