(Hey!!! So I got the theatre role I wanted insane badly! You may not care but I kind of just had to because I am too excited. Okay, on with the chapter.)

Y/n glanced back at Porco who held his face, precisely his nose that had been kicked. It was now horribly crooked and abnormal. An expression of surprise, confusion, and engrossment evident on his countenance.

"Rest for now." She ordered. She held the ODM device to her mouth and took a deep breath. Calming her nerves and muscles for a moment, resetting, and exhaled. "I've got this." She then jumped off the roof to continue the fight.

Porco's hazel eyes watched as leave. Normally, he would have hot-headed-ly snapped back at her for ordering him around. But... She... We're enemies. I... Why did she save me? She could have saved a whole ton of work and issues had she let me die and allow Falco, a newbie, inherit the Jaw. I don't... I don't get her at all.

Reiner was struggling to face Falco and Eren singlehandedly. The beanpole titan, who was Falco, began interfering with two of the nine titans. Reiner put a hand on the pure titan's face to keep him a back a little. Captain Y/n saw an opening. "Reiner! Move!" She hollered. The sturdy titan seemed to hear, reacting to her command, let go of Falco.

The famous and adept captain's h/c eyes glistened with resolve and strong will. Using her hips to twist and arms to swiftly and forcefully unwind and spin. She zoomed past, slicing off the pure titan's left arm. She continued to shoot her anchors left and right until all the limbs of the titan were steaming on the ground. The h/c haired female finished, she landed on the ground, sliding a foot. The armless and legless titan writhed on the ground.

Meanwhile, Eren retaliated in Reiner's grasp. The brawny male reacted and punched him in the mouth. Eren then hardened his mouth, trapping one of Reiner's hands inside. The brunette had withdrawn from his titan carcass. However, the Marleyean warrior did not let up. Reiner ripped his hand out, ridding it of all armor. He tried to swat Eren. However, Jean had sent a thunder spear into it.

Y/n had found a fallen soldier who wore ODM gear. Sorry. She opened the devices and ripped the anchors out of them. The younger Ackermann sprinted towards the older Braun member, holding the wires high in her hands. They clattered behind her, attracting the attention of Reiner.

"Reiner! Tie this around Falco very tightly! If you do it tight enough, it should limit how far he can regenerate his body!" Y/n informed. Then when we have the time to think, we can deal with him.

"Eren, come here!!!" Zeke's voice shouted. Whilst Y/n and Reiner were restraining Falco, Eren had gotten closer in distance to his half brother. Zeke, with no strength to completely move, held his hand out.

Y/n glanced over and quickly realized how close the brunette was to the beardie. Reiner continued to wrap Falco, successfully restraining him from moving and regenerating. The captain started towards the wall and brunette. His legs- that would prevent him, right?

Someone beat her to it.

A loud firing of a heavy shooting sniper rang. No matter how many people aimed to prevent it- on the wall, in the town, anywhere- the shot whizzed in the air, slicing through Eren's neck. Blood spurted from the violently opened slit.

As if in slow motion, everyone gaped at what Gabi had done. Eren's head had been separated from the rest of his body. However... All of a sudden, from the neck, a long spinal wire of some sort interconnected with his head. It looked like some root spreading underground.
