Our Defeat is not Certain (Miche ZachariasXFemReader)

Mike and Y/N stood along side Hange while a frantic Historia pledged for Ymir's innocence. Shying away from them both Y/N and Mike headed over to Moblit and the rest of Hange's squad to check up on how Ymir was holding up.

"How is she?" Asked Miche

"Comatose, but stable, the bleeding stopped. Though steam appears to be coming out of her wounds"

"If she were normal she'd be a goner for sure."

You hummed in response "damn is Shadis feeding something to these kids? At this point all of the cadet's in the 104th are gonna end up being titan's."

Mike let out a loud 'HA!' before turning to you " Hey now, don't let Hange hear you talk about her man like that."

Before you could let out a laugh completely forgetting about her crush on the man. Hange walked up along with Historia, who kneeled down to sit beside Ymir and brushed stray hairs out of her face. Hange on the other hand gave you and Mike a playful glare.

You both shared a look that said 'Oops she heard us'.

Hange turned to her team " best course of action is taking her back to Trost where the poor girl can get proper medical care. She's in your hands. Mike, Y/N and Moblit you three come with me. We should check on the other cadets."

Moblit caught up to Hange leaving you and Mike to follow the two. He let out a long sigh. "What a day, and we arent even finished yet."

" I know. We still haven't even found a hole in the wall to patch up."

Along the way you could see Eren in conversation with Reiner and Bertholdt. Reiner gesturing towards his injured arm. The sound of wires and a grunt broke you out of your gaze. Looking to the edge you saw a buzz cut cadet struggling to pull themselves up. You walked over and held out your hands for him to grab so you could pull him up.

"Thank you lieutenant Y/N. My energy is taking it's time coming back to me. Sorry"

You smiled at the poor boy. Seeing how tired and down he was "You alright Springer?"

"Yeah I'm okay, Reiner's hurt though and Ymir's seen better days."

Mike who was standing beside you placed a hand on the small boys shoulder " listen cadet we heard about what happened at your village, we'll figure it out. As for your friend, I know you all never suspected her as a titan. But since she is at least you know she'll heal. Maybe by Tomorrow she'll be walking around again, good as new. Until then try not to worry, all of you. I can smell it on you all and it's making me dizzy."

"That's the most I've ever heard squad leader Zacharias talk!" Sasha whisper yelled to Mikasa who in return nodded in agreement.

Hange and Moblit then walked up " so if we're all on the same page now. We'll figure out what to do with Ymir after her healing. Oh and Connie, chin up! I'm ordering a squad to investigate your village but for now stay focused. We still have another task at hand."

Looking down at the land below you, you could see the Garrison advance squad headed your way. "Hey Hange the Garrison's here. Maybe they found the breach in the wall."

Hannes had made it up the wall with the help of Eren. After learning the wall was still intact. Not even so much as a crack. Along with not one titan in site along there way. You all stood speechless. Even Eren began to question the man's sobriety. As the teens started to bicker with the older male Hange called you and Mike over to the sidelines.

You were rubbing your temples due to the headache you had coming on "What's the plan now Hange? How is any of this possible?" Mike placed his hand on your lower back and started tracing small circles with his thumb for comfort.

Hange took a quick glace at Mike's hand before placing her fingers in thought on her chin. "Hmm, well I guess we have to change tactics since there's no breach. We head back to Trost immediately, but I also need to catch you two up on what you've missed."

Walking ahead with Hange. Some of her squad and a few of the members from the 104th followed. She had explained how she had gotten a background report on Annie Leonhart and that two other cadets from the 104th had came from the same region ' Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover ' . Though the two didn't seem chummy with Leonhart and she wasn't social to begin with. Cadet Armin Arlert had noticed Reiner really invested in knowing Eren's whereabouts during the 57th expedition. And Him somehow miraculously surviving after supposedly being squashed by her, only to notice the female Titan staring at her hand then running towards Eren's direction. All this happened after Armin had mentioned where Eren could be to Reiner, Annie being too far out of earshot to even be able to hear him. This then leading to suspicion of him being a Titan along side Bertholdt since he's attached at the hip to Reiner. But with no solid proof they began a plan to hopefully lure them both underground and trap them like they tried to do Annie.

During all this you all had failed to notice (besides Mikasa) that Eren was called back by Reiner and Bertholdt for a quick chat.

Trying to wrap your head around everything you all were stopped in your tracks after hearing a flag pole snap and fly off the wall. Everything had seemed to become quiet. The clouds began parting, letting the warm sun rays hit your skin. All you could hear was the voice of Reiner "Damned if I know what's right anymore. Who cares it is what it is. No choice but to face what I've done."

You, Hange, Moblit and Mike turned wide eyed to see Reiner unwrapping his "injured" arm as it started to steam with what seemed like dancing embers surround his wound as it close up in the blink of an eye.

"Reiner!" Yelled a frantic Bertholdt " right now? Here? We're doing this?!"

"Yes, right here, right now! We settled this once and for all!"

Before anyone could move Mikasa had ran twords Reiner and managed to slice off a good portion of his arm. She then moved to Bertholdt and slit his throat. The boy laid on the ground wide eyed gargling on his own blood " Eren get out of here!" She yell before going to finish off Bertholdt. Reiner had got himself up and managed to push her off the walls before she could stab her blade through him. She was lucky enough to attach her hooks onto the wall to keep her from falling.

You all began to run twords Eren while Armin was screaming for him to run away. But the boy seemed too shocked to even move. Suddenly Reiner began to be surrounded by steam and yellow strings of light, Bertholdt getting up slowly behind him with the same steam and light surrounding his body. Suddenly two lightning bolts hit right in front of you. The blast of steam and light from their transformation was too strong for most of you. Many had to cover their eyes and a few of the cadets had flew back. You being almost one of them until Mike grabbed you and hid your face in his chest. Turning his body around to stop as much steam as he could from hitting you.

"No!" Armin's cries cause you to look away from Miche and follow his gaze. There the armored Titan stood with Eren in his hands before sliding down the wall disappearing into the steam. You all could make out another yellow lightning strike meaning Eren had transformed. All you could see and hear was the glowing of his green eyes and the roar of his titan.
