Charlie and Levi found the Cargo Titan and the Beast stood over Eren on the other side of the wall. They were on one of the roof of a house, but the titan-shifters left Bertholdt there to die and made a break for it when they saw the Ackermans coming.

 Levi and Charlie dropped down into the city below, landing next to Eren. "Captain! Charlie!" 

 "I just used the last of my gas. Quick! Give me your gear so I can chase him!" Levi requested desperately, not wanting the man who murdered Erwin to get away. 

 "Right!" Eren went to remove his gear but a noise from behind him made him stop. It was a cough, and not from Bertholdt who'd they'd managed to cut down. Eren paused, looking back behind him, flabbergasted. 

 Charlie was stood, looking around Shiganshina while trying to figure out what was going on. She backed up a bit to see whatever was behind Eren but she came to a halt when she did. 

 "Eren-- what is-- who is that?" She asked, staring horrified at the burnt body that looked to be dead. But Eren was staring at it. It had made a noise. They were still alive. 

 Charlie jumped when Mikasa landed on the roof next to her. Eren was squatted over a corpse but the sight of it brought tears to Mikasa's eyes. And then it struck Charlie. That burned, nearly dead person... was Armin. 

 "He's... he's still alive. Armin's still alive!" Eren turned and grabbed Bertholdt. "He's breathing!" 

 "That's... Armin?" Charlie's eyes widened. How many smart and good people were going to die today? And where in the hell was Hange? 

 "Captain!" Eren was shouting and it made Charlie cringe. "Get the syringe! We can turn Armin into a titan, and then we can feed him Bertholdt. "Hurry and inject him!" 

 The serum they hoped to use on Erwin if he was still alive. But they had no idea if he was. If he'd survived, surely he'd bled to death by now. And Armin was still barely alive. "Right." Levi pulled the box for the syringe off his belt. 

 Mikasa blinked through tears but shot a flare into the air. To signal to others? So more people had survived on this side of the wall. That was good. But who all made it? 

 Levi went to hand to box to Eren, deciding to let the serum be used for Armin. 

 But then. Like some wicked twist of fate... the recruit from before, the redhead who didn't want to die, appeared in one piece, and with him... 

 "C-captain. I finally found you. It's the Commander. He's hurt. His stomach is gouged, his insides are all torn to shreds. The blood just won't stop! I thought the injection... might save him." The recruit was barely holding onto the roof, and Erwin was strapped to his back.
