World at War

Preparing to Retake Wall Rose

Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Tim and Jason all stood atop of Wall Rose. After what happened, Pixis thought it best to take the cadets with him to the top, something a few didn't agree on

"I see and visiting this basement, you believe will clear everything up?" Pixis questioned after hearing what Eren had to say on the matter

"Yes... do you believe me?" Eren asked, fearing the answer slightly

Pixis' answer made the teens sigh in relief as he promised to guarantee Eren's safety for the time being. The commander turned to Tim, who had been quietly staring at the Titans still roaming Trost "Trainee Drake, correct?" 

Tim turned his attention to the commander and nodded "You mentioned before about using this so-called Titan ability to our advantage. I heard bits and pieces about you saying that he could seal up the hole" 

Armin's eyes widened as he realized what Tim had meant when he said that "You were talking about him using his Titan form to carry that giant boulder and block the entrance with it!" he exclaims as Tim nodded

"Unless someone has a way to seal a hole of that size with Titans still coming in, this is your best chance. That boulder seems to be the right size to close that hole, big enough to make sure nothing can get through. Eren's Titan form is the only way we'll be able to move it before more lives are lost as a result" Tim says with a sigh since he knows this is a big risk. Something this serious with untrained abilities... 95% chance something will go wrong

"You are missing one important point Baby Bird. In the end it all depends on whether or not Eren can do the task. He has no training in controlling these abilities of his. What's to say he won't go on a rampage and attack us?" Jason questioned. Don't get him wrong he can see the logic in Tim's plan and wanted to believe in the brunette... but he also saw the risks involved and wondered if Tim was taking that into account 

"I know the risks of the plan Jason. Unless you have a better idea?" 

Eren looked down at his hands when he heard Jason's words. Could he do it? He has no idea how this Titan ability of his even works or where it came from... what if he does lose control and turns on everyone? No, he can't let that happen! No matter what he needs to plug that hole!

"I believe the question asked isn't if he can do it. Will he do it or not?" Pixis questioned as Eren made up his mind, determination in his eyes

"I'll do it!" Eren exclaims, eyes on him with various expressions ranging from indifferent to surprise at this answer

"Well said. You're a real man!" Pixis tells him, patting his shoulders and soon walking over to the edge as he calls out "Calling all staff officers! We have a plan to put together!"

"You really think he can do it?" Jason says as he and Tim walk a distance away from the others, not wanting to be overheard 

"He has to. Otherwise they'll kill him or worse experiment on him. We both saw him take down the Titans only, never once going after a human. I know it's a big risk... but what other choice is there? This world has no technology I've seen that could plug that hole fast enough, heck the crane doesn't seem to exist here. The boulder is big that it will seal up the hole... but then the problem of how to get it over there comes up. In the end, Eren is the only one who can do it"

"Look I understand your point, but damn it Tim you know Eren is as lost as we are with that ability of his. He has no control or clue how to even activate it!"

"What do you want me to do? Get Superman to come here and carry the boulder. Newsflash Jason, he doesn't exist!" Tim angrily said gaining the attention of Mikasa as she wondered what could be going on with them
