Page 150: Year 850

We've managed to regroup up. Ymir, Christa, Connie and me are waiting for our orders to advance. Checked my gear, hell, I've checked it so many times too make sure nothing's faulty. The others seem on edge, apart from Ymir. Who insists on putting her hard bitch act, even now. In a way I respect that, I suppose. She says what's on her mind, and how things really are. I think she's in love with Christa, the two our practically always around each other and Ymir has a soft spot for her.

Vanguards already been routed and destroyed, so it looks like it's up to us fresh cadets to hold back the tide. At least until all civilians are evacuated. Call me crazy, but this seems rather exhilarating. I wonder how fun it is, cutting into all those Titans?

Putting your journal away, you head over towards the edge of the building, you were all stationed on. Noticing your approach, Ymir hands you the telescope, so you could see the situation. Looking through, you saw countless Titans pouring through the massive gap in the wall. Each of them coming in different heights and body builds; But one thing never changed on them.

"Why do they all pull such stupid, fuckin' expressions...?" You muttered, placing the scope in your pocket.

There must've been at least twenty Titans hanging by the entrance, that doesn't include the many that's already wondered into Trost's inner districts already.

"Hey! What the hell did you just say?!" Connie shouts behind you, pointing his finger at an unfazed Ymir.

You turned around to the commotion and headed towards your squad.

"I said it sucks to be stuck with a retard." Ymir states, leaning casually against the wall.

"This is no time for bickering! Agh... I've had enough of this!" Christa shouts, desperately trying to get the two to stop fighting.

She turns towards you, hoping that you could pull the squad together.

"Okay, okay, we get it. Just for you, Christa, we'll make nice with each other... okay?" Ymir says, placing her hands on the shoulders of a flustered Christa.

"Well... There's not much point arguing at a time like this, I guess..." Connie mutters.

"Great, glad we can at least not die in the first five minutes, because of bad teamwork. Cause we've got our work cut out for us." You state, adjusting the belt on your ODM Gear.

"The way I see it, vanguard's been obliterated. Which leaves us to pick up the slack. So if you see a Titan nearbye, remember our coordination tactics. Or we die. If any of you run low on blades or gas, we all head back to HQ to resupply." You continue, looking at the Titans slowly moving closer and closer into the city.

"Just try not and get in mine and Christa's way, got it?" Ymir sparkly replies. You did your best to ignore her tone.

"Ugh... You just can't jerk your mouth shut, can you? Let's go already! We're following your lead, (Y/N)!" Connie announces as you all zip off with your gear.

As your gliding bye, you notice the countless Titans. You decide it'd be best to start with the bigger ones first, seeing as the short ones can't jump up to your positions. You managed to gain the attention of a 14 meter class, whose face was contorted into a twisted grin.

"Connie, distract it as I swing around!" You shout, dodging the Titans massive hand.

"Got it! Make it quick, (Y/N)!" Connie replies, trying to keep the Titans attention.

You swing around a building, managing to get behind the big brute. Using your years of training, you shoot your anchors into the back of the Titans neck. Getting a good angle, you use the gas too accelerate your attack, successfully managing too slice into the Titans nape. Getting clear, you watch as the Titans lifeless body crashed into a tower, burying it.

"Quite the juggernaut, aren't you (L/N). I guess looks are deceiving..." Ymir states, landing next to you on the tiled roof.

"What are you talking about, I'm as strong as I've ever been." You reply, sarcastically. It annoyed and impressed Ymir to no end, how you never took her words like the others did.

"Holy shit! We actually took down a Titan!" Connie shout, slapping you on the back in a congratulatory way.

"Well done, (Y/N). I'm glad your here with us." Christa states, a radiating glow coming off her.

"Marry me..." You thought, a stupid smile plastering your face.

You look down at your blades, the steam from the Titans blood evaporates into the air.

"Still a got a lot more to kill." You state, looking around the area.

Not a moment after, you all see green smoke filtering the air near bye.

"It's a distress signal!" Connie shouts, panicked at what's happening.

"Leave 'em, it's not our job too babysit others." Ymir states, already trying to walk away.

"We can't let our friends die! I'm going!" Christa shouts, zipping off without the rest of you.

"Damn, now I've got to go...!" Ymir mutters angrily, going after Christa.

You and Connie followed too, heading towards the green smoke signal. Arriving, you see a Titan devouring one of your comrades, you felt bad not getting their in time, but your only human. People die. You prayed to the Walls that all your friends were doing alright.

The three Titans were trying too eat the remaining survivors of the squad who shot the signal. Using group tactics on this many would take more time than it worth, you had hit them now! Seeing a Titan reaching for a cadet, you swung down on top of the monster, quickly slicing off its nape. Unluckily before you could react, a crushing sensation wrapped around you. A large Titan had grabbed you whilst you were saving the other cadet, who was still frozen in fear. Looking at Titan who grabbed you, the only thing that was going through your mind was 'Not yet!'

You didn't know how to describe it, but this sudden wave hits you. Like a bolt of lightning had struck you, triggering something inside you and you knew exactly of what to do. You felt as if though you had unlocked new potentials, a giant branch of possibilities and survival opened.

With new found strength, you pull your right arm out of the grip of the Titan, using your blade too easily cut through it's hand. Not wasting any time, you hooked yourself onto the Titans face and proceeded to thrust your blades into the giants eyes.

"You fuckin' cunt! You think you can kill me?!ME! I'm gunna pack your skull so full shit!" You roared out, taking out new blades.

Jumping over the blind Titans shoulder, you end the monster by slicing it's nape. Despite it being dead, you still felt so angry, rage that you didn't think was possible was spilling out of you. Climbing back onto the buildings, you see Ymir, Christa and Connie take down the last Titan. They quickly join up with you.

"Geez, (Y/N). You're a beast, even more so than the ones in the woods." Ymir gloats, but seems slightly phased by your glare.

"We're just glad your fine, we can't lose anyone else." Christa states, checking you over for wounds with those beautiful eyes.

"I'm, I'm fine, I think... that was a lot too take in..." You mutter, already feeling unnaturally rejuvenated.

"Just sit down, yeah? You look like you need a minute..." Connie concern says, but you wave him off.

"This is what we get for helping people..." Ymir states in an annoyed tone.

You all look down, seeing the few remaining people in the squad you just saved.

"Aaaargh!"

A loud cry shouts out. Instincts rule over, and you began too fly towards the sound of the familiar wail.

"That sounded like Armin!" You shout, the others following close behind you.
