Squad 34:
Squad 34:
"Was the vanguard routed?" Thomas asked as they soared through the sky.
"I can't say I had high hopes in the first place.... but this is as bad as it gets." Eren answered, flying towards the front of the group.
Eren's eyes widened as panic rushed down his spine.
"An Abnormal!" He yelled.
Squad 34 dodged the Titan and fell on the nearest rooftop. Eren looked around for head count. Thomas was missing...
Eren's eyes widened as he turned to see the blonde abnormal. The titan turned its head as if to show off Thomas.
Thomas' eyes were teary, tears stained his cheeks. This was the end for him, death by the mouth of a Titan.
The group seemed to be in shock, motionless as Thomas was swallowed by the Abnormal, this only angered Eren.
"What are you doing?!" Eren yelled before chasing after the monster.
"Eren!!" Armin yelled following after, not letting his comrade/best friend go alone.
"Just you wait! You'll pay for what you did to Thomas!!" Eren screamed while soaring across rooftops.
Armin's eyes widened as he witnessed Eren's leg being bitten off. Eren landed on a roof with a bang, knocking off most of the tiles.
"Stop! Please stop!" One of their comrades cried in the hands of a Titan.
"Oh no..." Armin whispered.
He fell to his knees and watched as his final female comrade, Mina, was devoured.
"Why am I watching my friends being eaten?" He asked himself as tears brimmed his eyes.
His eyes flickered to the left as he watched a Titan approach him, the Titan picked him up but Armin did nothing to stop it.
Why won't my body move? He thought.
The titan dropped Armin in his mouth, Armin let out a shriek of distress even though it was pointless.
A hand grabbed Armin's wrist and pulled him up. Armin had a look of shock and happiness that his best friend had come to save him, even though his injuries.
Eren screamed as he threw Armin out of the mouth of the Titan, using up the last of his strength. Eren reached his arm out to Armin with a look of hope in his eyes.
"I can't die... like this... it was you who taught me, Armin. I will go to the outside world." Eren spoke leaning out.
"Eren! Hurry!!" Armin yelled holding his arm out.
Fear, sadness, anger and regret hit Armin all at once as the titan closed his mouth, cutting off Eren's arm and killing him.
Armin screamed, not just yelling. But a pained scream, one from deep inside. His best friend... gone. His squad... gone.

I slashed the neck of the Titan and landed next to Marco on the rooftop.
"We're over run. We- we can't take them all." I panted.
"Come on, Rin. Don't give up now. You can't." Reiner tried to encourage.
We had been surrounded by Titans, they weren't specifically after us but they were everywhere.
I hope Eren and Armin are okay. Hell, I hope everyone is okay. I thought.
Though I knew that wasn't going to be the case, most likely half of my comrades were dead or about to die, and it's all my fault. I didn't kill it in time. If I could turn back time I swear, that Titan would've been gone long ago.
"She's right, Reiner. Look, we're surrounded." Annie defended.
"Look, there is Connie's Squad. Let's go." Marco spoke and sped off.
We followed suit and joined their squad.
Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Marco and I landed next to Sasha and looked around to see everyone. They were all okay, although Mikasa wasn't there.
Coming to think of it... where was Eren? Armin was here, wasn't Armin in Eren's Squad? God I hope that boy is okay.
Taking a second glance everyone looked distraught and hopeless. All sitting down, hugging their knees.
"The order to retreat finally comes when we don't have enough gas left to clear the walls." Jean muttered to Connie.
"Then it's sink or swim! We've got no choice but to kill the Titans over there!" Connie exclaimed, anger in his voice that Jean was giving up.
"We can restore gas at the base!" He yelled as he looked towards the now swarmed building.
"But we're really done for if we use what we have left to run from place to place." Connie finished looking down at Jean.
Jean looked up at Connie, his eyebrows furrowed and jaw clenched.
"Who among us cadets can lead such a desperate mission?" Jean asked, his voice desperate for escape.
Armin sat on the opposite building to Jean and Connie, his head hung low and his legs crossed. It was as if all the sunshine his grin had once brought this dull world, had collapsed in on him and all that's left is hell.
Mikasa landed before Armin, running desperately. I ran forth too wanting to know about the commotion.
~I like this chapter very much, most of it is third person telling the part about Eren's death and his Squad. But I only applied that since nothing interesting happens to Marco's Squad at this point of time. I also apologise for the typos in the chapters, I am writing this on my phone. Sorry. -foreverxgirl
