|| part 18 - Rescue ||

Jess's POV:
We leapt from the wall, travelling down and grappling to the buildings, swinging and dodging Titans that followed and attempted to attack us.

I saw as a Titan swing for Connie, he yelled in surprise. I turned quickly, slicing it's nape as Connie went above and out the way, me following.

"Thanks for that one!" He yelled, a smile of thankfulness on his face. I nodded "Just watch yourself!"

We continued our way, landing on a roof a few buildings from the bakery. I turned to see Sasha, Connie and Jean landing on the roof just a few seconds behind me, I turned back in the direction of the bakery as the others adjusted themselves.

I looked up to see the last building I ever saw Lucie on, I looked to the building with a sigh, stepping up and grappling my way over to the house in front of the bakery, looking down to see a crouched over Titan.

"What in the world?" I spoke, staring at it as the others joined me in a confused stare. Sasha eventually spoke up, "You uhm-, think she's in there?" there was a sign of nervousness in her voice. "She must be! Why else would that hideous thing be there!" Jean. Of course it was.

I sighed, looking down to the windows, they were covered in ash, was the Titan stuck? There's marks on the floor that looked like it had slid. "Should we call for her?" Connie asked, I turned to face him, "maybe, but it could attract that thing?"

"YOU FOUL CREATURE! JUST LET ME GO!"

We all snapped our heads towards the voice, it definitely came from the bakery.

"Lucie..?" I stared, eyes wide at the bakery. Before gritting my teeth and leaping from the building. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" As I gripped my blades, aiming for its nape, the Titan got up, turning to me with its face bleeding, pieces of concrete and metal, stuck in it. It's mouth was agape, leaning towards me as I heard the yells and screams for me from the others, before I was snatched out of the air by a figure as we both went crashing into the roof of the building.

I sat up with a groan as Jean put a hand on my shoulder "are you alright?! What were you thinking!" I glared at the floor, squinting before looking up to see a crouched over figure, they had torn and bloody clothes the blood also tracing their skin, their hair was scruffy and they were struggling for air.

I got up, stepping over to them and placing my hand on their back, "you alright?" they looked up, my eyes widened at the familiar face as I hugged her, Lucie.

"You're alive! Are you hurt? Do you need food? Water? Don't do that again!" I exclaimed and she chuckled." I'm all good, but I think a proper meal would be alright.." Lucie spoke, we exchanged smiles and she looked to the others with a smile. "I wasn't sure if you were gonna come back for me.." she spoke, sniffling and wiping her nose with her sleeve.

"Of course we would! I'd never leave yo-" I was interrupted by a loud screeching, we all turned to the large figure, erens Titan. It had a Boulder on his shoulder and was heading for the hole in the wall.

Lucie's POV:
I stared, wide eyed at the creature, it seemed distant yet familiar, I saw it that day, it showed me the safety of the bakery and was even attacking the other Titans, was it on our side? I turned to the others as Jess grouped with Sasha and Connie before taking off to help, I was left with Jean, turning to him, he had a fear filled expression, I glared.

"You should go be the kings lap dog. I think it would fit you." I snapped, limping over to the wall as I gripped my ODM gear handles "Wait a second! You can't go in that condition!" Jean yelled to me. "I'm not going to stand around and do nothing! I.. need to help.." I frowned, looking to the other cadets that grappled through the maze if houses,buildings and towers, the titans that wandered the streets, looking for their next victim.

He then fumbled around in his pockets, pulling out a flare gun and a few capsules, "Look! Help with these!" I stared down before sighing and nodding, I took them and placed them in my bag that was still secured around my shoulder and rested against my waist, we looked to each other and nodded, we grappled to a tower building setting off a red flare, I remember reading that the red flare meant there were Titans and trust me, there definitely were.

I look down to see the titan with the boulder, turning to Jean. "So what's with that titan? It won't hurt us?" I questioned. "Apparently not, that's erens titan." I froze at the response "Erens.. Titan..? What do you mean?!" I exclaimed. "Its a long story! I'll explain when we get back to safety! We just need to keep everything here in order, okay?" Jean spoke and I groaned before nodding in reply.

There was a loud crashing and crunpling noise and I turn to see the Boulder in the wall, I smiled and me a Jean cheered, until seeing that erens titan was steaming, I froze, were they okay? Then there was screaming and yelling as I heard mikasa yell for armin, then the sound of ODM gear, the steam cleared, revealing a man with black hair, his blades from the ODM gear in hand as he stood in front of Armin, Connie and Jess with a professional manner as he turned to them, I was confused.

Jess's POV:
I started at the fuzzy figure as the steam cleared, recognizing the man from posters and news papers, but, surely not..?

"Is that...?"
