Chapter Forty-Two

Mikasa didn't need to be told twice as she already throws herself to the ceiling, quickly sliding her way into the hole everyone soon follows.

As I do too, the second I reach the hole though the air becomes even hotter.

I land on a large platform thing, the sight of Eren's back faces me his hands are being held far away from him as he is tied. Wait, if he is still here that means another person transformed. Was it Historia?

That is proven false when I see her in Mikasa's arms, then who is the Titan?

Those questions can wait. Because the air becomes even harder to walk through as it grows stronger, I walk to Eren grabbing onto his left arm as Connie works on the lock on his leg.

"Hurry Connie." The captain commands, and he quickly does so handing me the keys.

"Just leave me here. Forget it!" Eren yells I look at him as if he is insane. We didn't come all this way here for nothing.

"Oi! Just shut up Eren!" I shout in his ear working on the lock. He moves his head to look at me blood leaking down his face, a huge slash running down his forehead.

"Hands are free!" I shout out loud holding onto Eren's hand as the lock flies off in the air, I finally look up to the Titan in front of us. It's disgusting.

"It's bigger than the Colossal Titan!" Sasha announces, but it's barely heard over the rumbling of the ceiling collapsing.

"Get back!" The captain yells as we all back up until we can't anymore, huge chunks of the ceiling falling everywhere.

It continues to get hotter, but I don't think there is anything we can do in this situation. That titan is way too big for us to take on and the amount of heat it is radiating, and not only that but if we were to fight it, we would need a better place than the collapsing place we're in right now.

A weak mumble is heard, "sorry. I can't." All of our eyes fall on the person who said it, it is Eren. He is now on the ground crying and sobbing loudly.

I won't lie, it is quite embarrassing.

"I've been dead weight every damn step of the way. This power should've never been given to me. I can't be humanity's hope. I'm just too weak."

He stops as more tears stream down his face, I look up to Mikasa to see if her face can tell what she's thinking.

But it doesn't, instead, I see the same look she always has as she stares down at Eren.

Even in this heat, in a battle. She will always have that scarf wrapped around her
neck.

"Armor?" Eren whispers, I don't get what that means though.

"C'mon. Stop playing the tragic hero. Of course, you're too weak to accomplish jack shit by yourself. But no one excepts you too."

Jean tells Eren, it seems rude, but it is more as if he is trying to comfort him.

Connie smiles trying to help calm Eren down. "Yeah, calm it down. We've been through a whole lot worse than this, man."

"Not that I really wanna get used to it," Sasha announces loudly, clenching her eyes shut.

"Still, it's gonna suck trying to fly through that mess." I won't admit it, but the titan is pretty intimidating. If Annie ever heard me or if I even thought something was too scary, or big for me to handle she would have me.

Because neither of us were taught that way.

"I'll take Eren," Mikasa says finally speaking, but Eren doesn't seem so happy about it.
