After Reiner had somewhat transformed into his Titan, Eren turned his body to him and the two just stared at each other, his grip on the Jaw never loosening. Seeing Reiner's appearance made Falco's mouth drop and Gabi gleam with relief. "Reiner!" The two got in a stance and both charged at each other at the same time.

Eren let out a roar, reeling his left arm back as the Armored Titan reached out to him, merely missing his head as Eren went and punched down at the Titan's jaw and broke it. The Armored Titan stood there staggeringly as the impact took a bit to settle in before he got knocked back and fell to the ground harshly before hitting the broken theater.

"Ehm... that was quick..." Connie muttered.

"What did you expect ? He didn't have much energy to begin with." Ymir replied to him.

"I know...but...I thought..." he didn't finish his sentence.

Mikasa just watched in silence with her eyebrows furrowed together as Falco and Gabi gasped from the attack. Once the huge dust cloud, that had formed from the impact of the Armored Titan, disappeared, Eren's eyes widened and he lightly gasped when he saw that Reiner was aiming for the Jaw Titan instead of him as the Jaw was now at his grasp.

"His goal was only the Jaw..."

Eren just looked down at the two, standing there until he started to pull himself out of  his nape. Steam erupted from his neck as his Titan's head lowered. Once he was out, he peered down at Reiner as his hair flew within the gust.

"Eren!"

Mikasa landed on his Titan beside him, her eyes were on him as he began to speak. "This is truly the end. I don't have any strength left. Reiner... shouldn't be able to kill us right now."

Eren's and Reiner's stare didn't break away as he stood up. Mikasa turned away. "Let's go back. Back to our home." He still watched Reiner and formed a small frown.

Armin and Hange noticed it.

'That's the first time he showed emotion at all...' Armin thought. 

Hange had the same thought and wrote it down. She knew Eren had changed, but how much.... She had a feeling that she won't like it.

"Reiner... See you later."

Mikasa grabbed onto his right arm and began to fly off.

As they began to leave, Reiner's Titan then shut down and he fell flat on his back.

At the airship, the Scouts were making their way over as they surrounded the ship, one of them was Jean, who was currently giving orders to everyone. "Protect the airship from the enemy below! Use every last shot you got!"

The Scouts continued making their way to the ship while Koslow, Falco and Gabi watched from the window. "They're retreating..." Koslow mumbled. "Does this mean we're safe?"

Koslow and Falco watched in small confusion while Gabi had raised her eyebrows. "They're running away..." she mumbled, still staring at the Scouts, before an enraged expression took over.

They tensed.

"She's not doing what I think she's doing, right?" Sasha asked.

"When you think, what I am thinking, then yes. She's doing it." Connnie answered.
