"Zeke, can you shut your mouth for 5 minutes and stop complaining so the poor guy can speak!" Fritzy yelled as she walked over and smacked Zeke in the back of the head. His glasses flew off his face and landed in the sand in front of him.

"Oh, just great.. now they are going to be all smudged and sandy." He said as he rubbed the back of his head and bent to pick the round shaped spectacles up from the ground.

"Boohoo, get contacts! You don't live in the early 1900s anymore."

"But.. they have meaning to me.." Zeke mumbled under his breath in a sad tone and frowned.

"God, these two are always at it, huh?" Hange whispered to Eren. "How do you expect to execute some type of plan with these two?"

"No idea.." Eren whispered as he adjusted his bun and sighed. "That's why I'm hoping we can get most of our original group to retrieve their memories as soon as possible. We need all the help we can get. Plus.. we will need their.. skills."

"Skills? What do you mean by that, Eren?" Hange raised her voice and questioned. She didn't like the sound of that one bit.

Before Eren could reply, Fritzy's voice echoed through the empty starry landscape. Everyone turned their heads to face her.

"Alrighty! So if Zeke over here is done bitching.." She was interrupted.

"I'm not bitching. I'm just expressing myself.." Zeke mumbled.

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT THE FUCK UP MONKEY MAN! LETS GET THIS OVER WITH ALREADY!" Hange screamed as she waved her arms in the air.

Zeke stood and pointed his finger at Hange. "I'm not a damn monkey anymore! You four-eyed, titan obsessed, piece of.."

"Everyone shut the fuck up before I blow this place, all of your memories, and your second chance at life to smithereens!"

Everyone quickly jerked their heads towards Eren who was now standing in between them all. Flashes of yellow light were flowing through and around his body. His face was absolutely menacing. The anger coursing through his veins was evident. His fists were clenched at his sides shaking. He took a few deep breaths through his teeth, and the yellow light that engulfed him slowly started to fade.

"Oh my!" Hange said in a surprised tone. "..you can still do that?" She adjusted her glasses and then smiled widely, despite still being worried. Seeing Eren's display excited her a little too much.

"I don't have the power to shift anymore, no.. but I can do a lot of other things.." Eren glanced over at Fritzy, whose jaw was also practically on the floor. He knew she wouldn't approve of that outburst. He wasn't supposed to show this side of him. "..but I don't want to be that person anymore. I can control so much.. so much more than you can imagine. That is not my goal now, though." He walked over to a large mound of sand and sat. "Now, can we all relax and let Armin continue?"

Everyone nodded silently in response and turned to the average built blonde who was now standing beside Eren. Everyone.. except Zeke. Who was sitting in the sand, grabbing handfuls of it, and watching it trickle through his fingers. Eren noticed the way Zeke was acting, and it was irritating him beyond words.

"So, as I was saying.. " Armin's eyes gazed around at the people standing around him, and he sighed. "During our travels, my parents and I were finally able to locate the island. It took a couple of weeks to pinpoint its latitude and longitude, but thankfully, we were able to stay under the radar and clear of its prohibited airspace."
