"The advance squad's returned! Inform Commander Pyxis!"

"I see... So there was nothing wrong with the wall?"

"Yes sir!"

"As I suspected... "

"H-However, there's a bit of a situation! We were heading back to Trost to give our report when we ran into the Scouts unit led by section commander Hange. Along with them, there were recruits from the 104th and Corporal (Y/n) without their equipment. And it turns out, three of them... Were Titans!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you saying there were more?! Th-Three more of them?! Who was it?!"

"U-uh, well..."

"Jean, relax. What happened when their forms were revealed?"

"The Scouts engaged the Colossal and Armored Titan in battle. But by the time we joined up with them to fight... It was all over."

"And (Y/n)?"

"S-she...

She's dead..."




~Somewhere in Titan territory~

I slowly opened my eyes due to all the screaming going around, Obviously... It was Eren and Reiner's screaming.

"You don't think I know that?! I don't need you to point that out to me!"

"Then don't pretend to have emotions like you're one of us! You guys aren't even human anymore! It's you two who's turn this world into a living hell! Does that make you happy, murderers?!"

"What are you after by calling us murderers?! Do you want us to regret it?! Do you want us to apologize?! Would that give you satisfaction?! The people you thought we were no longer exist! If screaming will make you feel better, than scream your damn head off!"

"That's right... I'm still... Too naïve. I've... Gotta do what I can. Do what I can... To make you guys... Suffer and die in the worst way possible. You've got it coming."

"... You can't be serious."

"Huh?"

"Grow up, Eren. If you keep saying childish crap like that, I've got no hope for you."

"Huh?!"

I rolled eyes eyes,"Please shut up..."

Everyone then finally noticed me,"Corporal?!" Eren yelled.

"Corp, you're still alive?" Ymir asked.

I slowly tried to sit up but unfortunately I was laying on my stomach with restraints around my arms and legs,"Mind untying me, Colossal and Armored Titan?" I glared.

Silence fell upon them before Ymir asked,"Speaking of... Why is she here? I mean, I understand why Eren and I are here, but her? Why?

They were silent. Too silent...
Before Bertholdt spoke,"She's... Just important..."

I chuckled, feeling anger rise up in me,"If you think I'm one of you, a Titan, you are gravely mistaken." I glared.

"Who said you're probably not?" Reiner said, glaring back.

I chuckled, a sour chuckle," Shouldn't I be like Eren then, bite my hand and turn into a Titan? Surely, you can't be that stupid? I've bleed more by server injuries in my time as a scout soldier, and I've never turned into a Titan. And to make it even more convincing, I don't heal with steam coming from my injuries."

Reiner glared at me before coming over to me and dragging me towards Bertholdt,"Hey!"

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Eren yelled.

Reiner then snapped my left shoulder out of it's pocket to which I grunted out in pain, he took out a sharp knife and cut off my pinky finger,"Ahg!"

"You might not turn into a Titan by bleeding a lot and don't see any steam on your injuries, You still heal faster than any normal human being."

He twisted my head and lifted up my hand so that I could see it. And almost like my magic... My finger was growing back slowly.

My eyes widened,"Wh-what?"

"No way! (Y/n) is anything but a Titan like us!" Eren yelled.

Ymir couldn't believe her eyes,"She's not... She-"

"She's Important. More than you, Eren." Reiner cut off.

Silence filled the air before Ymir starting asking about the money Titan.

While they were having their own conversation, I was silently watching my finger grow back like a lizard's tail. Only, it didn't take as long as the lizard's. And by the time Reiner was convincing Ymir to join them, my finger was back like it was always there,"No... Fucking... Way... What am I?"

"Ymir! Do you think there's any future for this world? If you know so much, think about what you want to do. It's not out of the question for you to join our side."

"And trust you? Yeah, right. You two don't even trust me."

"Wrong. We can trust you. Because your one goal... Is to protect Christa. When it comes to her, we should be able to trust one another. You might think I'm joking, but... Is it that hard for you to believe that we might want the best for Christa as well? Or would you rather put your hopes in Eren and rely on him over us?"

"Huh?!"

"You're probably thinking your best chance is to use Eren and escape from here. Because if you're taken by us, there's little chance for your rescue. To be honest, that's pretty much true. Even if you come with us, we can't guarantee your safety. But if it's Christa we're talking about, we might be able to do something for her."

Ymir glared,"And the Corporal?"

"Corporal (Y/N)'s coming along no matter what. She doesn't have a choice. So...? Will it be your petty life... Or Christa's future? It's up to you to decide."

"There's no future for this world? Why's that? The Corporal... why is she so important? And what's this about a monkey? What's going on?!" Eren thought. "Hey! Hey, say something! Who's the enemy?! Ymir!"

She looked at him, unemotionally,"Who knows..."

"It's settled then. Too bad, Eren."

I then heard a flare shot in the distance to which cut me off out of my rasing thoughts. I looked up slightly and knew it was the Scouts.

"Damnit!" Reiner whispered.

I couldn't help but smile but once Bertholdt saw my expression, I quickly whipped my emotions and glared at him,"You heard that! We're not going anywhere without a fight! Literally!"
