Chapter 66

You began pacing back and forth, trying your best to calm down your nerves. Your greatest fears were coming true, somehow the enemy overseas finally decided to attack on Paradis Island. This could decide your fate at any moment. It's definitely possible that all the other titan shifters were here, and they know who you are. You want to help in some way but that would risk blowing your cover.

The commotion happening from above wasn't calming you down either. For all you know, Eren could be doing something stupid and trying to put up a fight. But at the same time, he's completely outnumbered.

"Dammit, Eren! Can't have you dying on us now, I still have to give you a piece of my mind. If you die now, I'll kill you." You thought, biting onto the fingernail of your thumb.

Suddenly, you all hear footsteps quickly coming down the hall. You all looked to see Onyankopon breathing heavily, in his hand were the keys to your cells. You were surprised.

"Onyankopon." Connie spoke.

"Oi! What's going on outside!?" Jean asked. Onyankopon explained everything from the Marley ships coming down to all the titan shifters involved in the attack.

"So basically, the rest of them..." you spoke up. Onyankopon nodded and continued to explain. 

"Eren's fighting alone..." he added. You let out a frustrated breath. Of course he is! Who would have guessed!?

"He's struggling, but he's not going to last." He continued, shakily opening the lock to your cell. The lock and the keys dropped onto the ground with a loud "CLANG"

"Marley will steal the Founder! Help us! We gotta protect Eren!" He pleaded with all of you. You were starting to get pissed. No way he's coming down begging all of you to help fix the shit they're mostly to blame for!

As soon as Onyankopon opened the door, Connie stormed up front. He grabbed ahold of Onyankopon's collar, aggressively pushing him against the wall.

"Are you shitting me!? What's this about 'we'!? This is your fight!" Connie argued, you also stepped out a bit.

"He's right. Why would we help you fix up your mistake!? I thought you guys had everything under control!? That's why you locked us up in here, right!?" You added.

"Why should we even listen to you, traitor!?" Connie asked. Onyankopon grunted.

"S-sorry! But if I went against Yelena, she would've blown my head off!"

"Eh!? So, you're pretending to be nice to us while plotting to take over Paradis with your wine!? Well not this time! I'm fed up with getting betrayed all the time!" Connie snapped. For a moment, the anger flushed away. You stared at Connie with concern.

"By Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and Eren! I'm sick of it, dammit! Why the hell would we help Eren if it means none of us can have kids!?" he cursed, holding Onyankopon even more against the wall.

You watched as Armin approached him, calmly putting his hand against Connie's arm. That was enough to snap Connie out of his rage.

"Connie. Let's hear him out." Armin spoke. And with that, Connie let him go. Onyankopon fell to the ground, wheezing heavily.

"I honestly had no idea. The wine, the euthanization plan...the volunteers didn't know!" He began.

"HUH!?" Connie was about to get mad at him again.

"He's right. Yelena told us to keep quiet. She said not to tell the volunteers." Niccolo explained.

"Good thing you have an alibi, Onyankopon. Too bad he's also piece of shit. Don't think we forgot you knowingly served that wine to the volunteers and that fiasco you caused that got Falco wrapped in that situation too!" You argued, pointing an accusing finger at Niccolo. He avoided your gaze.
