"Damn, Theia moves that ass of yours! We have to get out before it crushes us!" Asher jumped out of the wagon and ran over Theia to grab her hand. She tore away from him furiously and ran towards the place, which left from the chapel. A giant titan on four legs, completely ignoring their presence, came from the hole like a worm. She ran along his body, thinking that it might even be bigger than the colossal one. But suddenly Asher grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back. "Please come to your senses! They are all dead! At least we have to save ourselves!" He screamed, but she hit him in the forehead with her head, freed herself from his grip and kicked him sideways.

"All the hope of mankind is trapped there!" She screamed as the rocks flew past their bodies, caused by the monstrous titan's slow movement from underground. She turned her back on Asher, but he stood up determinedly.

"I won't let you kill yourself!" After his words, Theia took out a dagger and put it to his neck. He looked directly into her furious eyes and didn't take a step back. A worried Armin and Nifa ran to the couple.

"Captain," Armin addressed her sweetly, but she didn't listen.

"You want to kill me, Theia?" Asher asked with a smile.

"Don't dare to step in my way, again," she warned him strictly and Asher smiled sadly.

"I've always stood by your side and that won't change today," he gently reached for her dagger, which he moved away from his neck. He lowered his gaze and ran towards the huge hole left by the titan. They all fell on their knees and gazed longingly inside. What was their surprise when they observed Sebastian's ax, digging through the accumulated dirt. They all relentlessly put away the dirt to reveal a hole at the end of which stood the entire group, including Eren and Historia. Armin and Asher were helping them to get to the surface and Levi was the last to come out. Theia's eyes shone with relief and he walked towards her with a serious face as she studied him from head to toe.

"You," she addressed him, but her voice broke almost immediately. She frowned pitifully and clenched her fists to punch him in the chest with all her might. She left her hand on his body so that he pulled it into his palm and hugged her tightly. "I thought you..." She hid her face in his clothes so no one could see her.

"Sorry. Well, everything turned out well. Eren saved us. We probably found a way to plug the hole in Shiganshina," he whispered sincerely, patting her head gently.

"Um..." she muttered in a high voice, clutching his gray T-shirt between her fingers.

"Forget what I just said. I am safe," Levi tried to act cold, but the warm feeling created by her love spread throughout his whole body.

A few minutes later, the whole group teamed up with Erwin and formed a plan to destroy Rod Reiss' titan. The counterattack was taking place in the Orvud district under the direct command of the military garrison led by Theia and Erwin. With a lot of help from the scouts and Eren, Rod was killed by his own daughter, Historia Reiss, who immediately ascended the throne as the rightful queen after this incident. A specialized unit got rid of the last remnants of Kenny's unit until the leader himself was found in a nearby forest near the Orvud district.

"We are all blinded by the desire for something else. Fame, money, power... what do you want, Levi?" Wretched, Kenny looked up to look into eyes so similar to his own. "Do you want to protect her? Did you marry her because you want to be happy?" Kenny coughed a little bit. "It's a shame that happiness is always hidden,"

"Kenny. Tell me why the first king wanted humanity to be wiped out!" Levi angrily grabbed his clothes and pulled him close as Kenny spat blood at him.

"I have no idea, but Ackermans fought against him," he answered weakly.
