Porco: Eren you bastard how dare you
Eren: how dare I? Was this your plan? To try to stab me in the back? It failed before it even started
Porco: wasn't mine, you needed to be stoped
Eren: pieck then, a little bit late for that don't you think?
Porco: I couldn't let her try by herself, we waited to long to realize how bad this shit was
Bertholdt: how bad?
*Bertholdt looks at Porco, he looks at Eren, he looks at the colossal titans, he looks at zeke's body, he looks at a heavily injured pieck, he looks all around, he looks at annie, all he wanted to do was protect annie and keep her safe, he knew he would have to potentially fight, potentially kill, but it still hurts looking at what he's done, what he's doing, to be a monster again*
Bertholdt: porco please stop resisting
Porco: don't give me that, you're even worse than Eren, you worthless piece of shit
Bertholdt: ....
Porco: and I'm the same...look around bertholdt, what is this? What are we doing? What the hell are we doing?
Bertholdt: I'm....I'm sorry
Porco: yea I don't think I'm the one you should be saying that to
Eren: quiet, keep him still bertholdt
*a spike stabs porco in the shoulder surprising bertholdt*
Porco: ahh!
Bertholdt: Eren
Eren: what
Bertholdt: lower pieck
Eren: why? She thinks to stop me, porco and Annie do too, do you also?
Bertholdt: I just don't want to kill them if we don't have to, this..is wrong
Eren: but we do have to, this world will never be free in the state it's in, always war, always fighting, you think I like doing this? You, a child soldier were made because Marley was at war, that's what's wrong, remember why you're doing this bertholdt
*Bertholdt looks at annie, her eyes a mix of pain, betrayal, and a coldness, a sad coldness*
Bertholdt: I'm constantly thinking of why I'm doing this, but we don't need unnecessary killing
Eren: you only think it's unnecessary because they're friends, I'll ask again, would you try to stop me too?
*Bertholdt gets up from holding Porco reaching out his hand to help him up*
Bertholdt: here, sorry for the pain
Porco: yea well shit didn't we agree we weren't going to apologize, anyway I gotta go get pieck
Eren: fine then, go get her
*The spikes holding pieck retracts from her arms letting her fall into the walking colossal titans when porco jumps to transform mid air and catches her in his mouth falling with her, bertholdt looks back to watch them fall together, it hurts him that he chokes on his own words*
Bertholdt: !... porco...pieck...sorry
Eren: don't be, they chose to do it
Bertholdt: Eren your drive for freedom is turning you into a monster
Eren: isn't that funny, you would know all about how monsters work, fine then, I know what it takes to achieve freedom, I'm protecting everything I love too just like you, it's just on a much larger scale, the largest of scales, I thought you understood
Bertholdt: I do, I really do, but is this the only way?
Eren: it is, aren't you tired of living under Marley's foot, this is your home and yet you're treated less then dirt, you are my people and I won't have that
Bertholdt: so you'd kill us all?
Eren: I am sorry, buts it's freedom
Bertholdt: what kind of freedom is that? It's not worth death
Eren: Wrong, this freedom, ITS WORTH EVERYTHING!
*spikes and pillers rapidly rises up all around bertholdt piercing his shoulders, arms, legs, all through his body holding him in place stopping inches away from his nape, Eren walks closer to bertholdt to make sure he hears him*
Eren: it's worth everything
