The Garrison surrounded the four of you.

You and Mikasa stood side by side, blades out. Armin stayed behind guarding Eren, who was still unconscious. Mikasa held her blades up into position and you twirled yours with your wrists, partly to show off. Neither of you had spoken a word yet. Actions spoke louder than words, so the moment the Garrison unsheathed their blades, you both mirrored the moves.

"I'll kill them all."

Then silence.

You turned over your shoulder. Eren was awake with that deranged smile of his again.

"Couldn't he have picked any better words?" muttered Mikasa.

"Eren, can you move? Are you alright?" asked Armin. "Listen—you've got to tell them everything you know! They're terrified but they'll understand!"

"What? What is even happening-"

"Cadets Eren Jaeger, Y/n L/n, Mikasa Ackerman, And Armin Arlert! The four of you have jointly committed the highest act of treason! Whether or not a brief execution will depend on your next actions!" yelled Captain Woerman. He had worse sunken eyes than Shadis. "Any attempt to move from where you stand now, anything I deem the least bit suspicious, will be met with cannon fire! Do not test me!"

You stopped moving your blades. Not because you were afraid of him. But because this would be the most stupidest way to die.

"Answer carefully! Eren Jaeger, what exactly are you?! Human?! Or titan?!"

Hell, even I want to know.

"I'm sorry, sir! I'm not understanding!"

"Answer me, damn you! Evasion will get you nowhere! Don't try to stall with pretend ignorance! You won't stand a chance! You'll be blown to hell before you can assume your true form! And before you try and deny it, we have all seen it! You emerged from the carcass of a fallen titan in full view of your comrades! A creature of unknown origin, ability, or allegiance has slipped through and infiltrated Wall Rose, and that creature is you! I cannot waste any more time or manpower on you! Do you understand now?!"

"As soldiers, they all know the price of their position," said the woman with the short blonde hair next to him. "If they're this committed to defiance under threat of death, so be it. They won't be persuaded and will only waste time. We must act now if we don't want any more casualties."

You raised a blade as if raising a hand. "Sorry, that's not going to work."

Her eyes flashed behind her glasses, visibly offended. "Excuse me?"

"You want to get to him? You've got to get through us."

"We've torn through flesh and bone," said Mikasa. "I'm sure that neither of us will pass on the opportunity to demonstrate our skills if necessary."
