Part Eleven: The March of Brave Children

As your flying through the air, you notice a bunch of Titans swarming all over the Trost Headquarters. You sigh, now knowing the reason why cadets aren't retreating because they can't get the gas to scale the walls.

You follow Mikasa, managing to find the rest of the 104th gathered on a roof. Everyone looked out of it. Shocked. Dazed. Hopeless. Most of them never wanted to fight Titans their entire lives, so most didn't have the grit to fight them. Landing on the tiles, everyone seems surprised by both your presences; Thinking you were most likely at this point, Titan fodder.

"Mikasa, I thought you was with the rearguard!" Marco yelps.

You both ignored him as you rush by, you couldn't hear him over your thoughts anyhow.

"Annie! I have a basic idea what's happening. And I'm sorry to involve my personal feelings, but did you see Eren's team?" Mikasa asks desperately.

"I haven't seen them, but no one's made it up the walls." Annie states, looking back at HQ.

"Actually, Armin's over there." Reiners chips in, pointing his thumb over his shoulder.

You look over to an adjacent roof, seeing Armin isolating himself from the rest.

"Oh... Oh, no..." You mutter, as you don't see Eren with him.

"Armin!" Mikasa shouts, making his head slightly tilt up.

You both ran over to the blonde, seeing him not move from his position.

"Armin, are you hurt? Are you okay?" Mikasa questions, only being answered by a barley registrable nod.

Mikasa stands up from her crouching position, looking around. You knew who she was searching for, and it broke your heart watching her.

"Where is Eren? Armin...?" Mikasa asks, looking back to the broken boy.

Armin suddenly looks up at the both of you, tears welling in eyes that threatened to spill any moment. They did fall, suddenly he was sobbing whilst still maintaining eye contact with Mikasa. That look... It was everything you needed to know what happened. You head began to hurt, your throat went dry.

"The members of Trainee Corps team 34... Thomas Wagner, Nack Tias, Milius Zermusky, Mina Karolina... Eren Jaeger! These five died valiantly in the line of duty!" Armin sobs, gripping his knees as onlookers watched.

You knew, but you didn't want to believe it. Walking to the edge of the building, you looked blindly at nothing; Everything suddenly blurred together. Mikasa always told you, that this world was cruel, but also, very beautiful. But it wasn't. Not for you. And you hated it, with every fibre in your being. You put your head in your hands, as everything else became white noise.

"Eren... We was supposed to do so much, with each other... If this is a joke, it's a cruel one..." You felt yourself slowly cracking, as you ran you ran hands through your hair, before gripping it.

"I'm sorry Mikasa, (Y/N). Eren... He sacrificed himself for me. I... I couldn't do anything! I'm so sorry..." Armin whimpers, dripping tears onto the tan coloured tiles.

You turn around, trying to pull yourself together. Hatred and guilt, glued your pieces back.

"Armin... Calm down. This isn't the time to get emotional." Mikasa calmly states, taking Armin's hand in her's.

She pulls him up. You were shocked, at how she was taking it on the outside, she didn't slip a piece of emotion. She suddenly walks of to another part of the roof.

"Marco, if we eliminate the Titans swarming HQ, then we can refuel and climb the walls. Isn't that right?" She questions, walking to the edge of the building.
