I Love You... In Every Universe (AOT Alternative Universe)

35. Close Combat

AUTHOR'S POV:

"You damn traitors!" Eren yelled and bit his hand, causing a burst of blue lightning, and red flesh began to form.

The attacking Titan screamed, throwing out his fist right into the Armored Titan's face.

The Armored Titan's face smashed into the Wall, tearing it as they continued to descend.

The two Titans landed hard, the ground around them fracturing from the impact.
.

Mikasa stared intently at the cloud of dust.

"Eren!" She yelled.

She gritted her teeth, glancing up to the cloud of stream, past which sat the Colossal Titan.

'If only...' Her mind flashed back to taking swings at Reiner and Bertolt with her swords. 'If only I'd cut off their heads! That was the perfect chance! I should've been able to do it, so why?!' Reiner and Bertolt's terrified faces came to her.

Mikasa turned her head back toward the ground. 'That was it.' she berated herself. 'There won't be another chance!'
.

Atop Wall Rose, the Scouts faced the Colossal. Hange gasped when the Titan moved out his arm.

"Everyone, jump away from the Wall!" Hange yelled.

The Colossal Titan brought down his arms, trying to scrap the soldiers off.

The Scouts quickly fled.

"It got Ymir!" Nife screamed, carrying Christa. "And somebody else, too!"

The Colossal tossed them both in his mouth, clamping his jaw shut.

"He ate 'em!" Nifa yelled.

Christa whimpered, eyes widening.

Hange, Keiji, Armin, and Sasha hung from the side of the Wall.

"Th-This can't be..." Sasha trailed off.

"Bertolt..." Armin said softly, and Christa continued to stare, shocked.
.

"All soldiers, prepare to attack! We're taking down the Colossal Titan!" Hange ordered.

She leaped, doing a backflip in the air and heading back up the Wall.

"It's a threat to all of humanity! Swarm the huge bastard!" Hange said.

The Colossal Titan brought his arm back then sent his fist flying at her. The Scouts dodged, flying around the massive appendage.

They continued to dodge his swings.

Keiji flew by its face, making eye contact. 'Just like the reports said, he's slow!'

'It might be big, but that's it!' Abel thought, flying behind Keiji.

'Compared to the Titans we normally fight, this'll be easy!' Another Scout glared the Titan.

'We've got this!' A brown-haired soldier dove toward the massive Titan.

"Now's our chance!" Hange yelled as they dove for his nape. "Slice up his neck!"

Out of nowhere, the Colossal Titan released an enormous amount of steam, forcing the soldiers back.

"Too hot!"

"Everyone, fall back!" Hange commanded and they quickly exited the large cloud of steam, landing on the Wall.

"My hand!" A Scout yelled, grunting in pain, holding his burned hand.
