Mikasa (POV)
While Daisuke recovers his stamina, Rico shoots the red flare and the squad and I go over our next move.
Mitabi- Ian that's it. Please, just look at them. We need to get out of here; the plan's a bust.
Rico- Agreed. Full withdrawal. Eren is helpless in the state that he is. As for Daisuke, there's only so much he can do on his own. The only option is to leave the both of them here.
I immediately give Rico a defiant and angered look.Ian-.......
Mitabi- Ian what are you waiting for?! Give the order! It's not like this was your fault. Come on! Look, this plan was doomed from the start! We all get that! Was it worth a shot?! Sure, whatever! We did the best with what we had! But all we've got now is going back over the wall!
Mitabi starts walking off like he's going to do just what he said and I draw my blades. Ian stops me however.
Ian- Easy. Now's not the time. Team Rico, Cadet Tatsuo did a phenomenal job taking out the groups of Titans but there are a few stragglers headed our way. I want you to take out the twelve meter approaching from behind. Team Mitabi and I will handle the two front runners.
Rico- Are you nuts?!
Ian- In case you've forgotten, I'm the one in charge! Now do as you're ordered soldier! We are not leaving Jaeger or Tatsuo defenseless, period! Change of plans, our job is to keep the others off them till they've recovered. From the looks of things, Tatsuo seems almost done anyways cause he's moving a bit. Whether we like it or not, those two boys are still our last best chance. We're not about to abandon them. We're expendable; they aren't. They can't just be replaced.
Rico- Please, don't talk to me about our last best chance! They're failures countless have died because of! Just look at the Ian! Are you saying that you want more of us to die saving those freaks of nature?!
Ian- That's right. Down to the last man. If that's what it takes, so be it!
Rico- Ian you can't be serious!
Ian- What other hope against the Titans do we have?! You know something I don't?! This is it! This is all we've got, and you damn well know it! I am making a judgement call here! If you have a better plan, speak up! How else are we gonna get out from under their feet?! I'm all ears here!
Rico- If you're asking me how else we'll defeat the Titans, obviously I have no idea.
Ian- See? That's why we can't afford to beat a retreat. Not just yet. We may not know what else is in there, but there's hope. And as long as that's the case, we're gonna fight to the bitter end. Look at us, always scraping by. Always on the run. Don't you...don't you want it to be over? Don't you want to make a stand? Well this is how it's done.
Rico-........This is just......this is madness........I think you're right. If we're to stand, this is the only way. Just this once. Let's fight a fight that's not just a battle of attrition. Let the bastards taste humanity's wrath.
The teams disperse and it's just me and Ian.
Mikasa- Thank you Captain. That was brave.
Ian- No it wasn't. There's no thanks needed. Fact of the matter is I was petrified of the mess you were about to get into. But you're free now. So do your thing. Make good use of that inborn skill. Go save Jaeger. As for Tatsuo, go protect the man you love.
I look down at my feet as my face goes red.
