Glimpse Of Hope

Judgement

By a river, Hange holds a bloody Levi as the Yeagerist surround them along with a Titan they found on the way as the rain turns heavy

Floch: Is that Captain Levi? No idea what happened…but lucky us. Our biggest threat is a bloody mess. Now to deal with the other one. 

Yeagerist: Let me put a hole in his head.

Hange: He’s dead.

Floch: Eh? 

Hange: A Thunder Spear blew up his face. The blast shredded his insides, killing him instantly. No one could survive unless they’re a Titan.

Floch: I see…Let me check. I can take a pulse, too. Let me see him, Hange. 

Floch: H-

Yeagerist: Floch! 

Floch and Hange turn to the Yeagerist as the Titan lets out steam

Floch: It’s vanishing? It died? 

Hange: No. When Titans die and disappear, they don’t suck out steam. 

The Titan continues to let out steam as the rain goes away as light begins to show

Floch: Hold your positions!

Everyone watches closely as someone emerges from the Titan as they slowly stand up 

Floch: Zeke?

Everyone looks at Zeke shocked as Hange grabs Levi tightly and jumps into the river

Floch: Ah! They’re getting away! Take them down! On your horses don’t let them get away! 

Floch and the Yeagerist fire into the river as some ride on horses trying to track them down

Flock: Zeke, what happened to you? 

Zeke: I don’t know. There was a strange girl building my body out of soil. I was in a strange place watching it happen. It felt like years passed by, but at the same time, it felt like an instant. I believe I know what it is…Those were the Paths. 

Floch: Zeke, you turned the 30 Scouts into Titans, right? Where are they? 

Zeke: Well, they’re all gone. Now there’s nobody here that will get in our way. Let’s go. 

Zeke begins to walk away as the Yeagerist follow him

Zeke: “All we can do is move forward. Right, Eren?” 

In Shiganshina the Marleyan troops jump from the blimps as Gabi watches

Gabi: Pieck! Pieck!

Pieck looks at Gabi as she wraps an arm around her and lifts her chained arm up

Pieck: Porco! 

The Jaw Titan cuts Pieck’s arm off as she screams, before jumping off the building

Pieck: That hurt!

Gabi: Pieck! 

The Jaw Titan attacks Eren and slashes his arm as Eren tries to punch it while harding his fist as the Jaw Titan lands on a building taking cover, before backing away as the Cart Titan emerges and takes Gabi and runs away

Eren: “To think Marley would launch such a desperate attack…Given what little they know, they shouldn’t have risked it.”

Yelena: Eren! 

Eren looks down

Yelena: Can you hear me!? Come out of your Titan body! Hide inside and escape underground with the War Hammer Titan! If you fight, you’re at a disadvantage!
