An Ackerman's secret

34

One year later.

"Mila."

I snapped out of my daydream, turning to face Levi who was completely focused, "Hm? What?"

"Get ready." He ordered.

My eyes flickered over to the scene unfolding in front of us. Eren had managed to find the body of the Warhammer titan which was in a crystal, much like Annie's.

"Go!!" Levi shouted to me, but I was already swinging down towards Eren and the titan attacking him.

It bit down on his neck and as it did, I pressed down on my gas for more speed and pulled out my blade, quickly slicing the right side of it's jaw as Levi did the left.

The titan raised it's head to see who did it, it's eyes narrowing as it caught sight of us.

"Good work." Levi glanced at me, nodding.

Everyone jumped down from the roofs to join us.

We all glided through the air towards the titan, it would be impossible for it to defend itself against all of us.

Suddenly the sounds of louds bullets rang out and blood splattered around us. Levi grabbed onto me and pulled me down with him to dodge them, but a lot of our comrades got caught in the fire.

I twisted my head around to see the cart titan on the roof behind us.

Fuck.

The Warhammer recovered and sent Eren into the air with spikes. It was a powerful and unique titan, I'll give it that.

They were beginning their own attack now. Everyone had gathered around and there should be no more surprises now, at least from them.

"It's here." Jean called out.

He was referring to Zeke, who was walking through the street on our right.

It was time for the real fight.

"Don't die."

"You have to survive."

More fire aimed our way while the beast titan through rocks in the same direction. I groaned and shot my hooks into the roof above, quickly climbing up there to take cover.

I ducked behind it before peeking my head up to assess the situation.

Someone needed to deal with the cart titan.

It was going to be hard to get it to it, and our blades were useless.

"Eren Yeager is not my enemy." Zeke boomed, catching everyone's attention. "Someone else comes first. Show yourself, Levi. You can't afford to wait, can you?"

An explosion went off in the distance which I presumed was Armin.

By the time I returned my gaze to Zeke, he was already on the floor with his nape sliced open by Levi.

I couldn't help but smile watching him. He looked even better in our new gear, it was hard to keep my eyes off him.

That's that dealt with.

The cart titan was still shooting our comrades out of the sky, it was our biggest counter.

I jumped off the roof and swung between the buildings towards it as it shot down some scouts that were flying around it.

"Get away!! You can't do anything!" I shouted to them and some acknowledged me and listened, while others didn't and immediately paid the price.

I caught a glimpse of Sasha hiding, waiting for her moment to shoot.
