Lando and the Scouts climbed onto the horses and carriage they brought to the cave with Eren and rode off to meet with Commander Erwin.
"Commander, we can't stop it!" One Scout said. "It's like an abnormal and doesn't care about us!"
"Enough!" Erwin said. "Fall back! All that matters for now is to find out the direction it's heading."
While he was talking a Scout came over yelling.
"Commander Erwin! It's Squad Levi! Eren and Historia are with them! They succeeded!"
Erwin came riding over and saw everyone on their horses except for Eren and Historia who were on a wagon driven by Armin.
"Erwin," Levi said.
"Everyone all alright?" Erwin asked.
"Hange's our only casualty," Levi said.
Erwin looked at her lying down in the carriage, Hange held up her arm.
"Seems nothing too serious," Erwin said. "Well done, everyone."
"I've got a whole slew of things to report, but first..." Levi said.
"What's that Titan?" Erwin asked.
"It's Rod Reiss," Levi said. "I think we'll need your call on this, commander."
Erwin thought for a second before saying.
"Regardless, we don't have time to stand here and chat. Return to Wall Sina."
"You're going to let that big ass Titan crawl right on up to the wall?" Levi asked
"To Orvud District actually," Erwin said. "That's most likely where it's heading."
"He is probably going to make a final stand while the Titan heads towards the residents living there." Lando thought. "Not bad."
Levi Squad and the rest of the Scouts took off toward Wall Sina trying to reach it before the Titan got there.
"Let's put this all together..." Hange said while they were making their way to the wall. "Basically, Rod Reiss was after the Founding Titan, the Titan's power is inside Eren. However unless it's in someone with Reiss blood, you won't get its true potential. Though, even if a Reiss obtains the Founding Titan's power, they're controlled by the First King's will and refuse to liberate humanity from the Titans. Eh? Well isn't that interesting? According to the First King, this is true peace? Now that's a weird way to look at it."
"In other words..." Eren said. "We still have an option. If a Titan eats me, Rod Reiss will return to a human. Which means it's still possible to have a true Founding Titan."
"You can't..." Mikasa said.
"Seems that way," Levi says, cutting her off to which Lando silently thanked him. "We could capture Rod Reiss once he becomes a human. Undo the First King's brainwashing. If we could do that it might open a path to save humanity."
Everyone was silent.
"Plus Eren..." Levi said. "Are you saying you're fully prepared to let that happen?"
"I am," Eren said.
"Good to know," Lando said.
"You can't..." Mikasa said again.
"Yes, he can," Lando said.
"You're forgetting our other option," Historia said in an outburst. "First of all, our current plan is full of flaws. One, there is no proof that you can undo Rod Reiss's brainwashing. No matter how much you restrain him if he alters humanity's memories, it's over. Basically, there are too many factors about the Founding Titan that we just don't know."
