Attack on Titan: Power of 12 Titans

Chapter 54

It is not long before Eren and the others' names are widely spread throughout Paradis, because of Eren's ability to see the future, Paradis is now advancing in the world's footsteps.

Eren, Dina, and Aya are having a meeting with Zeke, Yelena, and Oyankopon. Eren asks, "So how are the Anti-Marleyan volunteers doing? Are they getting used to the people in Paradis?"

Yelena says, "You don't need to worry about that, the conflicts between both sides are getting less and less. After all, it just takes time for them to know Eldians and the power of the Titans."

"By the way, Yelena. I want to know why you're still wearing that Eldian band? We all know that you're not an Eldian but a Marleyan like Oyanbopon." Aya asks.

"I rather believe I'm an Eldian, because of what Marley is doing, and how the Eldians around the world are tortured." Yelena replies.

"I see..." Dina says. "That explains it. And I'm happy that you come to help us, because of your hard work over these three years, Paradis might be able to stand against the other nations."

"With the weapons gathered in the Mid-East War and the power of 11 Titans at our disposal, it will be beneficial to us to win the war." Zeke says. "If better, we might negotiate with other countries and free Eldians there."

Eren says, "But first, we have to be prepared for the Marley attack. They still have our last Titan, the Cart Titan, at their proposal. If comparing to numbers, we are outnumbered, however, if we use all 11 Titans and the technology provided to us by you guys and Hizuru, we might be able to stand a chance."

"You're right." Dina says.

After the talking, Eren and Aya are now at the training fields, where Mikasa and Odom are helping the new scouts with the weapons.

"How is the training going?" Eren asks.

"It is doing perfectly fine." Odom says, "They are getting used to the weapons while using the ODM gears at the same time."

"But I still can't believe we still have to be trained for the war..." Mikasa says.

"This war is happening no matter if we did the attack in Liberio or not. If anything, the attack on Liberio manages to cut down Marley's weapons. It will be like the Interior Police but much more people..." Aya says.

"All of us don't want to do it, but just as I show you through my memories, people wish for our extinction, and I'm not going to let Erich and Carla live in war and pain." Eren says.

Mikasa can only nod, and he says, "Mikasa, I also want to apologize to you."

"Eh?" Mikasa is confused. "Why?"

"When I showed you the memory of you killing me in the end, there is actually more to it." Eren says. "I wanted it to happen, that's why I said hurtful things to you..."

"Hurtful things?" Mikasa is still confused. Eren frowns as he touches Mikasa's forehead, causing her to see a scene in front of her.

She sees herself sitting with Eren, Armin, and Gabi, and Eren is acting cold toward her.

"You're no better, Mikasa." Eren says coldly. "The Ackerman family was formed to protect the king of Eldia. That day, you obeyed my orders in a life-death situation. "Fight." The situation awakened your instincts and they tricked you into feeling the need to protect."

"You're wrong." Mikasa suddenly felt her mouth moving.

"I am? About what?"

"It wasn't just a coincidence. It was you. You're the reason I became strong. You gave me that strength!"
