A/N:

I really wanted to make everyone wait till Friday, but I guess I'll be nice. Also happy Valentines Day.


Lillian deployed her thunder spear into one of Reiner's legs. It was her last one, but she couldn't do anything with her blades. Luckily Mikasa, Jean, Connie, and Sasha were close by. Mikasa took her thunder spear and launched it into Reiner's other leg. The titan fell to the ground.

He sat looking at the Scouts for a minute. The younger ones were conducting a plan, Lillian however was tired. She wanted to be back in Erwin's arms. She wanted the fight to be over.

"-then Lieutenant, you and Mikasa will deliver the final blow." That was all Lillian needed to hear Jean say before she was back in action.

Jean acted as bait, turning Reiner's attention away from Connie and Sasha. Both of them launched their thunder spears on either side of Reiner's jaw. Sasha however missed and got caught in the blast from her thunder spear.

"Mikasa!" Lillian yelled to her. "His jaw didn't open, but we still have to try to end this! Now!"

"Stop!" Connie shouted. "It's too risky!"

"No, it's perfect!" Could it be the voice of an angel? No. A mad woman. Hange flew in and launched her thunder spear into the other side of Reiner's jaw.

"Hange!" Lillian cried out for her friend. She was so distracted that she forgot about the titan in front of them.

"Now's your chance! Get him!" Hange ordered. Mikasa and Lillian followed her orders and flew to their respective spots. Mikasa went inside of Reiner's mouth to shoot off her last thunder spear, and Lillian hovered far enough away from his nape with her blade drawn.

Reiner flew out of the Armored Titan and right into Lillian's grasp. She held the half-healed titan shifter by the collar of his shirt, her blade immediately pressing into his neck. And as they defeated the Armored, Eren and Armin defeated the Colossal. On the other side of the wall Levi had also defeated the Beast titan. But it costed more than they had hoped it would.


Reiner sat leaning against the wall of one of the houses. He was even uglier now than when Lillian had pulled him out of his titan. Now his face was healed a bit more than earlier, and he even started to grow his hair back.

"We should find a wounded soldier, Hange." Lillian told her one eyed friend as she held her blade up to Reiner's throat.

"We don't know the situation with Levi on the other side. And we don't have the time to go and confirm it ourselves. These titan powers have exceeded our understanding too many times. We thought we had him before. I refuse to underestimate his power again. I'll start by beheading him, but that's not enough on its own." Hange's voice wasn't it's usual joyfulness, it was dark and harsh. But it was understandable. Hange lost her squad and her eye, but worse of all, she lost Moblit. Moblit was Hange's Erwin. Lillian actually applauded Hange for acting the way she was now. If she was in Hange's shoes, she would be doing worse.

"This isn't like you, Hange." Jean stated. "If we back down from the chance to cure our ignorance, then what hope do we have of beating the titans down the road?"

"Jean," was the one word Mikasa added to the conversation.

"We need to find out all that we can about the enemy, or we'll lose."

"Mikasa, how much gas do you have left?" Hange's one brown eye looked to the Ackerman.

"Not enough to fight anything. I think I could reach Eren and Armin, but then I'd be out."
