Riding as fast as I could, Luna and I hastily exited the forest, chasing after Reiner, Bertholdt, Ymir and Eren.

Catching up, I edged closer as titans swarmed behind me, also chasing us.

Slowly but surely, they caught up, and all of my comrades rode along side of me as we paced after the armoured, wondering just how long this was going to take.

'Reiner's too slow, we've got him', Jean ensured as we closed in on him.

'I wont hesitate this time', Mikasa announced, 'I'll kill them without a thought. If Ymir feels like getting in the way, so much the worst for her'.

'This ends here and now', she finished.

Looking forward, my mind couldn't help but agree with Mikasa. I wanted them gone for what they're doing to Eren, and I especially wanted him back.

But still, anytime I thought about hurting them, my mind couldn't help but feel conflicted, just like it did before at Utguard.

I dont know why.

I'd do anything to get Eren back. Anything.

So why am I hesitating?

'Not again. It nearly cost you last time you hesitated', I whispered to myself, 'Just do it. Do it for him'.

'WE'RE GETTING CLOSER! MIKASA, F/N YOU GUYS ARE UP FIRST WITH ME. LET'S GO!', Hannes called to us at the front of mass of soldiers.

'Let's go Mikasa', I looked to her, she nodded back seriously.

Shooting out my ODM gear, I attached myself to Ymir's titan.

Struggling to pull my equipment out of her back, she reached and reached to get me off, but I released myself before she could touch me, re-attaching myself to Reiner.

Mikasa swung beside me, plucking one of Ymir's eyes as she screeched in pain.

Soon after, we dashed around to the front, wasting no time in retrieving Eren.

Except, we went around different sides.

And I wasn't seen.

'Reiner! Protect us!', Bertholdt begged as he escaped towards Reiner's neck, him bringing his hands up and hardening himself so he could protect the two of them.

I creeped stealthily around Reiner's neck, bringing out my swords ready to slash Bertholdt, but was almost immediately stopped after being encased in a dark set of hands.

'What', My eyes widened, 'Damn', I panted, now locked inside of Reiner's titan by his hands.

'What's going on outside?', I wondered, did Mikasa reach Bertholdt and Eren?'.

Ever so slightly I could see a gap across from me, I crawled up and peeked over it.

Eyes staring at me right through it.

Eyes I would recognise anywhere.

'Eren!', I gasped, his body tied up, still not completely regenerated.
