Contact.

Once my realization hits me, I turn to tell Porco but he's already gone. Shit. "Pock!!" I yell after him to no avail. Reiner backs away from Eren, the spike still impaled on the founding titans chest. Porco is leaping from rooftop to rooftop, working his way back to Erens limp body.

He jumps off the closest building and has his mouth open, ready to attack Eren. I can hear his familiar scream of anger as he nears Eren. But out of nowhere, Eren moves. He uses his crystallized armour and grabs Porcos face. He throws him and all I can do is watch as Porco tumbles across the rooftops, and lands in a heap. Unmoving.

I feel the anger rushing through my veins. How are we at such a disadvantage? We launched a surprise attack, got Eren out in the open. It's been 2 vs 1 for the entire fight but it's still not enough.
Eren needs to die if we plan to make it out of here alive.

I'm too busy staring at Porcos lifeless body to notice Reiner jump on Erens back. He takes him by surprise and shoves him to the ground. He grabs the back of Erens head, keeping his face shoved into the concrete below.

Eren still fights back. He's pushing up against Reiners hand and Reiner tries his hardest to hold him down. Erens arm shoots up behind him and shoves against Reiners chin. Reiners grip falters and Eren manages to lift his head a bit more. Eren has a grip on Reiners jaw and keeps pushing and pushing. No no no.

He presses and presses. I drop to my knees as Eren rips Reiners jaw clean off. Out of nowhere, Reiner is flung away from Eren by a large bolder hitting him in the face.

Zeke. No. Where did he come from? Reiner rolls away and lays still in a pile on the street. His face is almost destroyed. I don't know where to look or what to do. Zeke throws more bolders at the airships, causing them to explode in the air, damning everyone inside them to their deaths.

Eren begins to slowly limp towards Zeke. No. He can't make contact with the beast, I have to stop him. There's nobody left. I take one last look at Reiner, and shoot my grapples out and swing towards Eren.

I'm zipping through the air when I hear thudding come up from behind me. Reiner speeds past me, steam coming off of his body. Just as he's about to take out Eren, he's pounded with bolders. I'm not paying attention and don't see the small rock coming towards me. It hits my grappling line and I lose my balance.

I let go of my triggers and crash into a roof top. It takes me a moment to come to and I see steam coming from the top of the wall. Pieck. No. I see the bones of the cart titan steaming. It can't be. I try to stand up but my leg gives out from underneath me.

I look below me and see Galliard laying on the ground, his body slashed open from Zekes bolders. "No!" I scream. "Pock get up!" But it's no use. A loud boom sounds and I hear Zeke scream out in pain. He was shot, I look to where the shot came from and see the carts canon pointing towards him. I sob in relief, Pieck is alive. Zeke has a giant wound in his neck and I watch as he plummets to the ground. I see Reiner crouched nearby.

"Reiner!!" I yell. He doesn't hear me. I use all my energy to slowly swing myself towards him, it's not graceful and I slam my body into against a small chimney on the roof. He has his eyes set straight ahead on Zeke and Eren.

"Reiner!!" I yell again. He turns his giant head and makes a grunt that could mean either surprise or anger, I don't have time to figure out which is which.

"You cannot let Eren make contact with Zeke. He has to be stopped." I hear the blow of his titan steam and see him stick his body out of his nape. "What the hell are you doing?! You need to get out of here!" He yells.

"Just shut up and listen to me!" I scream back. "You have to stop Eren or else we are all dead. Do you understand? Get back in your titan and go!" Reiner looks at me and his gaze softens. "Y/N, I-."
He's cut off when we see Porco sprinting towards Eren.
