AT THE HIGHEST POINT of the building, Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, and Juliet stood, their figures outlined against the darkening smokey sky. All but Juliet were geared up with ODM gear. Mikasa and Jean are armed with thunder-spears.
Their faces set in grim determination as they watch the chaotic battle unfold below. The air crackles with tension, illuminated by the flashes of combat and the distant roars of Titans clashing. The scene was a whirlpool of destruction and chaos, and from their vantage point, they could see the full scale of Eren's conflict with Marley, the outcome of which would determine the fate of both their world.
Suddenly, after being hit with a flying boulder, an airship descends from the sky, its massive form cutting through the air with a deafening roar. It collides with the ground, the impact causing a tremendous explosion that rocks the ground below them.
"The gate to Shiganshina, they blocked it!" Jean examines.
"Zeke's destroyed Marley's aerial fleet," the group turns to Yelena behind them with her arms out watching the war unfold, "The moment has finally arrived. History is about to be written!"
Amid the chaos, Eren's titan staggers forward, each step deliberate but strained. The ground quakes with each labored step, dust and debris swirling around its feet as it makes its way across the devastated landscape.
The Armored Titan, wounded and battered, struggles to its feet and charges toward Eren with fierce determination. Its massive strides, though slow and bulky, were driven by a desperate need to intervene.
However, the Beast Titan, standing on top of the wall, began hurling massive rocks with deadly accuracy. Each rock struck the Armored with bone-jarring force, causing it to stagger and falter mid-charge.
"So, uh," Connie begins, his eyes locked on the Titans in front of him, "From what I can see, Eren's doing just fine. It's Reiner that needs help."
Juliet's eyes widen in shock as she watches Reiner struggle. The sight of him, so battered and vulnerable, stirs a conflict within her.
For a moment, she hesitates, her instincts urging her to step forward. Yet, as she remembers the stakes of the fight—the survival of Paradis and the looming threat of Marley—she forces herself to focus.
"What the hell," Jean gasps, sweat falling from his forehead, "Zeke's here? But how? Captain Levi wouldn't have released him for anything. There's no way!"
Jean leans forward, his frustration and anger etched on his face as he shouts at Yelena, "Hey! What happened to Levi and Hange?"
"I think we can assume this means Zeke defeated them," Yelena turns her head to face the group, "He promised to meet Eren here and so that's what he did. No one could've made him break his vow."
