after a moment of eren being on top of the wall, a mass amount of steam emits from the titan and it suddenly disappears. we swing over to see what it was all about.

"eren! where did he go?" you yell.

"did he get away or did you take him out?" thomas asks.

"he's gone! exactly like five years ago" eren responds.

"shit. he got away" i say in anger.

"i'm sorry, i..." eren says.

"don't apologize. look at us, we were too scared to move" thomas says.

"hey! wallow on your own time! in case you hadn't noticed, there's a breach. we have to act now! if they start pouring in, that's it!" connie suggests.

"look alive!" a man says as he swings over using his odm gear, "operation colossal titan response is in effect, i expect you to take part. report to HQ. if you got close to the damn thing, we need details".

"sir! we pray the advance team will the victorious" connie says as we solute. the man then swings away and we hear a bell chime to signal the breach. we follow him and join the rest of the group in HQ.

"out of the frying pan and into the fire, cadets! time to put your training to work!" a higher rank commands us. cannons are heard in the distance as we scramble to prepare for our attack.

"i want everyone split into four squadrons, as practiced. all squadrons are responsible for supply-running, message relay, and enemy combat under the command of the garrison regiment! the intercept squadron will take the vanguard. cadets will be taking the middle guard, led by the support squad. rear guard will go to the elites. i expect you all to man your posts knowing the advance team has been wiped out" a captain from the garrison regiment states, "that's right, the outer gate is history. the titans are in. this means the armored titan is likely to reappear; if and when he does, the inner gate will also be history".

"is this real? please be a dream" daz says shakily from in front of me.

"quiet! right. those in the vanguard, get set. the whole area is saturated. your mission is a very simple one: defend the wall until the evacuation is done. now, be aware, all of you, that desertion is punishable by execution. if it comes to it, lay down your lives! dismissed!" the captain says.

"sir!" we reply while saluting. everyone begins to rush to their places and tension is higher than ever.

i make sure i have all my air tanks and blades in tact when i see daz crouched over next to historia throwing up. he stops for a moment to thank her but before he can he continues to cry and throw up.

ew.

"move it" jean says as he bumps into eren's shoulder.

"what the hell, man? what's wrong with you?" eren replies.

"what kind of question is that? we're all about to be titan chow. you want me to sing you a goddamn song?" jean snaps, "you're loving this, aren't you, you little psycho? 'course you are!". jean grabs eren by the collar of his jacket.

"dammit! shut up for a second!" eren says before backing jean up and slamming him against the wall, "we're trained for this! what do you think the last three years were for?". eren then backs away and walks in the other direction while jean stays standing against the wall.

"enculé de ta mere" jean says under his breath while rolling his eyes before continuing, "on your feet, daz. stop bawling".

"jean?" i say as i walk over to the tall brunette.

"hey-" he starts.

"what is wrong with you?" i cut him off, "i get you're stressed but don't go around looking for fights and acting like an asshole".
