Eren punched Reiner in the face.
As they fell all the way down, the two titan shifters did not stop sending and landing punches at each other, awful hits that would've break a normal human being apart, even as they landed with a world-shaking thud. They were brutal with each other, the force they send those fists flying enough to make Violet cringe from the intensity of it all. Eren was about to land another punch of Reiner's face before Hanji's voice rang out loud, a warning to them all, "Everyone, jump away from the wall."
She stupidly turned around to see what had happened, when another wave of the same heat that had blistered her exposed body to red sore bits hit them over again, the vision wind knocking everyone over. Her body was so close to the Colossal titan, so close to the burning furnace, it hit her hard. Much, much harder than the last time that she felt her skin scream, felt how the heat ruptured her skin. She held back her cry, clenching her jaw as she threw her body over the wall, hooking her gear on the edge. It was a pain to make her body twist and bend to land besides Julian and the rest, them too hanging against the wall.

This was going to shit. All the way straight to hell.
And as she looked up once again, once the smoke had cleared, she saw Bertholdt's titan throw Ymir inside his mouth. The cries that left Historia's and Armin's mouth mirrored her own silent reaction, how she would've reacted if her mind wasn't focusing on the pain from the injuries and blisters she had sustained from being so close to the heat. They had Ymir, her unconscious body unable to fight back the chaos. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
"All soldiers, prepare to attack." Hanji demanded, "We're taking down the Colossal Titan."
At the order, Violet detached herself from the wall and flew all the way up, the rest following behind. Her hooks got hold of the Colossal Titan's skin, allowing her to fly over to him, disconnecting them again as she turned to face him and pulled out her blades. She had to get his attention while someone went for its neck, so her body turned and turned as she got closer to his arm and sliced it as she turned, leaving a deep trail behind. And it was a good temporary distraction, just like she thought, as he turned to look at what had punctured his arm so deep and raw. A small smirk formed on Violet's lips as she saw Armin go for his neck when, as if he detected the small boy's presence, he let out another steaming heat radiate from his body, forcing everyone away from him. It sent Violet flying, burning her brutally as she went away. The sting, the pain-- it was blinding, so gods awfully blinding. This time, she could not hold back the cry that ripped her throat as her arms and face burned with the heat of a thousand suns. Her cry overpowered Hanji's voice, their voice barely a whisper compared to Violet's voice, who ordered "Everyone, fall back!"

Violet landed back on the wall, away from the Colossal Titan and from the reach of his gods damn heat. She looked down to her hands and saw what she expected: red, vicious-looking blisters forming as she blinked, all over her hands and arms which burned and stung without even having to touch. Her face felt the same but she could not feel any blister forming, only the fire that she felt her face was on. They were bad injuries, but she could not waste time getting them checked; much less telling Julian or anyone else. She would be fine, had endured much worse than this. They had a much bigger problem on their plates than a few sore blisters and bad burns.
She made her aching legs move towards Hanji and stood beside them, Armin beside them as they looked towards the Colossal Titan. Its form was deteriorating, becoming much frailer and thinner than the powerful stance he held himself with before. "He's trying to disappear again?" Hanji voiced their concerns.
"No, something is different. Last time he vanished instantly." Armin shook his head.
"That's right," Violet observed, crossing her arms against her chest. Last time he had disappeared instantly, leaving no trail in its wake. This time, however, he was still standing, making no move to leave. But he had lost all powerful muscle, so she voiced, "He's emitting heat like a furnace while maintaining his form. My guess is that this is his way to protect himself."
Armin hummed in thought before he made an attempt to hook his gear into Bertholdt's flesh in the hope that it will attach, but it backfired miserably as the heat still emitting from the massive beast still flowed from his burning body, sending the hook back to its home. "We're unable to attack him with ODM gear!" His voice shook with panic, eyes going wide, "W-what do we do?"He turned to them, waiting for a plan.
But there was no plan of action anymore, not with this going on. They had not expected this, had not seen it coming. And with the Colossal Titan's newfound power...there was nothing they could do. "We can't do anything, we wait," Hanji said gravely, as they looked over to the beast who burned and burned. 

✥

They had to wait for the Colossal Titan.
But it did not mean they had to wait for Reiner and Eren, too. Violet and the rest of the cadets hanged against the wall once more as Reiner and Eren continued with their fight. They were so out of it by this point, the two having fought all the time while they tried to bring the Colossal Titan down. Eren's chest was heaving, showing how hard they must have fought. He took steps back towards the wall, creating distance between them. A smart move.
Hanji and Violet took this as an opportunity and flew over to Eren, the two Captain's landing on Eren's shoulder. The weight of their bodies caught Eren's attention, who turned to look at them in his titan form. A sudden urge to place her hand on Eren's cheek ran over Violet, making her touch whatever she could of his cheek with her small hand, gently rubbing it as she smiled warmly. You're doing good, don't worry, she mouthed at the kid, showing him her utmost support. Eren blinked twice at her and it was all she needed to know he understood, appreciated her support more than he could express.
And Hanji, oblivious to their small interaction, said, "Listen up, Eren. If you're going to escape, we've got to find a way to halt Reiner and buy you some time."
"Do you think you can break his legs with another one of those joint locks?" Violet asked.
"Our blades don't seem to work on him, so use your head and figure out the best course of action," Hanji added, pushing their glasses back to the bridge of their nose.
Eren nodded his head in understanding, turning to look back at his approaching opponent. The fact that Eren nodded at them in his titan form made Hanji let out a small squeal from excitement, bringing out a red blush from their cheeks. Violet only smiled at Hanji's giddiness and said to Eren, "We're counting on you, Eren." And flew back to hang against the safety of the wall.

As soon as Violet turned her body around, Eren's fist had connected with Reiner's face. The two titans shifters went at it, landing blows and punches at each other. It was brutal, the sounds each blow landed made making her ears cringe. She made herself look away even when her body refused to do so, sparing herself from how violent the fight was turning although she wanted to see if Eren was doing okay. But she would rather just hear the sound than to actually witness the shit that was going down.
Only when she heard the crashing sound they made as Reiner and Eren went down did she turn around and see Reiner on top of Eren. Eren had him in one of those joint locks she had suggested him do, trapping Reiner with his legs. The Armoured Titan struggled against Eren's hold, trying to get out his grip without any avail. And then there was a loud crack that Violet could feel it resonate in her very bones; Eren broke Reiner's legs. Holy gods.
The roar that left Reiner's mouth made Violet foolishly think that it was over for just a good few seconds before she heard something heavy move above them; right where they had left the Colossal Titan at. And as Violet turned to look up, Bertholdt's titan was already coming down, ready to crash on top of the two other titan's waiting below him.
