Attack On Titan AOE: Alternate Ending

Part 1: Despair

"Goodbye Eren"

***

After a long struggle the Alliance was finally successful in taking down Eren's Founding Titan using the nuke. But just when they all thought it was over something suddenly happened.

Armin

"Oh my God!" Armin shouted, sitting atop Falco's new Titan form. It had been only a couple of moments since they had hit Eren directly, believing that with his death, would the Collosal Titans finally stop there march towards the last bastion of the outside world. But this wasn't right. Armin noticed something right away as the smoke from the Founding Titan dissipated. "Everyone look!" Armind yelled and pointed out towards where Eren's Titan once stood. A large heap of bones was now visible, indicating a direct hit, but it wasn't that which scared Armin, but rather the Collosal Titans. Originally they had all stopped in there tracks, and the march had finally ended. But now, they where alive! They where moving again! Marching towards the last of the outside world!
"That's impossible, we killed the Founder! How could they still be moving?" Armin said horrified. "There getting closer, any minute now they will trample on the last of the survivors!" Jean revealed, trying to hide his disbelief. "What are we going to do Armin? We killed Eren, and they haven't stopped! How can we stop them now!" Armin heard Gabi shout. Tears where rolling from her eyes now, and Armin could tell she was panicking. He himself now didn't know. He thought it would all be over, but the Rumbling was continuing.

There was only one thing that could be done. "Armin!" He heard Mikasa shout, as Armin jumped of Falco's back and towards the ground. Armin bit his hand, sending a massive eruption throughout the area. He had hoped he had enough control of his transformation to not kill his friends, and it seemed he was lucky. Falco was already far enough away with his friends, as if he knew what was going to happen.
Armin finally fully transformed, his Collosal Titan form in all its glory. He has no choice, he had to fight back. For everyone left!
"Eren...I don't know why you keep moving foward with this. Why it's so important that they all die. Maybe the fact that I don't understand means I was never really your true friend. But it doesn't matter anymore! I can't let you kill them!" Armin said to himself, wondering somehow, Eren could hear him. Armin rushed towards the Collosal Titans, even though he could tell it was a hopeless struggle, there had to be millions of them still converging. But if he could buy some time...then just maybe they could all escape. Maybe Annie and Reiner could save the others before the Titans got there!
He pushed foward, into the Collosal Titans like a bomb. He first tried to knock a few out, swinging his fists into there skulls. He hit two, but his movements where so slow that it was quick before another behind the one he had hit grabbed him. It bit into the arm it grabbed, not letting go. Armin was so focused on trying to get it off, he didn't see the next Titan bite the front of his neck. Then another bit his leg. The Titans where going to eat him alive! Armin pushed with everything he had, but one Collosal is nothing against all these others. So was this it? Was this really how it would end for him? He would be eaten by Titans like he had always feared when he was just a mere soldier, having not saved a single life that his best friend had taken. He slowly got weaker, his arms and legs finally giving out. His face lowered. He could feel another Titan on his nape. It would eat him for sure. Suddenly he blacked out.

When Armin woke up, he was on Falco's back again. "Armin your okay!" He heard Annie say. He looked over and saw Reiner, standing near the edge, his eyes welled with tears. "What happened!" Armin asked confused. Annie looked away for a moment, as if she wanted to cry. "You where nearly eaten by the Titans, so when Reiner and I killed the spine of Eren's Titan, we ran to you and managed to pull you out of your Titan before the others got us." Annie revealed. Armin couldn't believe it. Once again, he had almost died, but was saved just in time. He wanted to say they shouldn't have saved him, but he didn't. Something else was on his mind. "What about the Collosal Titans are they-" Armin stopped and looked down. He saw the others looking down aswell. The line of Titans had finally made it to Fort Salta, and anyone there would be trampled. "We have to save, them! If we don't then-" But Armin was cut off. "It's to late. Even if we could get everyone out with our Titans we don't have enough energy to get them back to Paridis. And who's to say they would stop if we saved them. It's over now, there is nothing we can do..." Reiner spoke. His words fading. Annie had broke, she couldn't even save her father. Armin could feel a tear going down his face to. Despite all there efforts, the Titans would really trample the rest of the world. Everyone that Armin loved, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Annie, Levi, even Reiner and Falco and Gabi and Peick, people he hadn't known for long and some he had known for years, where all there on Falco's back, watching, as the Titans trampled the lives of everyone who was left...
