"Let's do this!" we exclaim in one vocie.

Brandon and Adam remain bobbing about in the pool of vermillion. They look alarmed and they are having problems firing their gears since they have nothing but the eotan arm to hook onto. Both guys are more inexperienced than us with this gear so we try to work out whether we should dive down to fish our commerades out.

"In a real situation like this you shouldn't. When Eren came back at Annie he nearly got himself, Mikasa AND Levi killed." Ty states.

"Well there's only one...right?" As the words leave Gwen's mouth a second eotan, clearly abnormal charges toward the lake, taking hold of her. She shrieks. I share a glance with Ty'.

"I'ma go low." she winks, cutting the gas until she is at the abdominal region of the eotan, she fires a hook and swings between it's legs.She then fires at it's head where animal pelt is located to look like hair.

Hanging from the 'hair', Ty' flexes her wrists, the knife tipped tridents emerge assembleing one given space. Ty' unsheaths them dragging the trident in each hand over the nape with the blades in a verital position, tearing off six lines of what is meant to be eotan flesh.

I slice the wrist off so Gwen has to freefall. She's above the lake so she flexes her own wrists and leans toward the bank, blades; extensions of her arms hitting the ground first. She yelps in pain and tries to continue.

"No Gwen." Dylan shakes his head. "Go to Florence and get your arm fixed. Alexis go with Gwen jus encase there are." and as he's about to say 'eotan booby traps, a small one pops up. Alexis yanks the knives from Gwen's trident and tosses them at the small flecks of skin as to where the eyes are. With that the two girls make a run for it, going toward Florence. Gwen is hissing in pain. I hope she didn't break it; her arm.

Durc and Dylan go for the small one with a big head.

"Looks like the right proportions to be a cannon titan." Durc muses with a small smile as he notices Dylan observing his kill. The wooden thing falls to the floor.

"Yes!" Ty' and I pump our fists.

"Helloooooo.....get us outa here!" Brandon waves. "I'm sick of treading fucking water!"

"Ha. No. Hey Adam, walk over to me." Durc instructs. The brunet obeys; abandoning Brandon. Durc takes hold of Adam's arms and carefully pulls him out of the lake.

"Hey, thanks...Durc? Right."

"Names wolfgang. Durc Wolfgang."

"Not the time Durc!" Ty' laughs a bit.

"Now! For the one in the water!" Alexis declares.

"How's Gwen?" I ask.

"Her risk broke her arm. One arm. It's not a bad break. She'll be able to manouver with it but not for a couple of days. She will however get out of sparring."

"Lucky." I pout.

"Alexis is right. If this was a real titan we would all be drowning in hydrochloric acid right now." Ty' states.

With that the six of us jump and fire, Dylan swings from the shoulder and is picked on by a second titan.

"SHIT!" I gasp.

"Maybe this was what Cherry was on about."

"Dylan, I'm coming." Durc fires his hooks in the eyes of the wooden titan, flipping over the head and spinning. The titan that grabbed Dylan falls. Alexis sheers off two of the timber fingers. One knife catches the blond's leg. He shouts in pain, dropping, h's feet skim the water, he hit a tree root! As he lets his body go toward the root, he retracts the hook so he trips up into a bush. Dylan sighs.

"I found one of those soothey leaves."

"Good for you. Are you up for patching the scratch with the leaves and jumping back in or do you want to go back to Florence."

"Ha! No! I'm the captain! I'm sticking through this!" Dylan declares, He turns away from us. I hear a zip and grimace. Brandon is still in the lake.

"Helloooo! I'm still here!" Brandon pouts. Ty looks to me." You got a real one. Time for me to fish the douche out of the water." she sighs. Firing at a root across from Brandon.

i nod to Ty', Alexis and Durc at my heels The three of us pass the nape by with one trident, horizontally so three clean cuts are made.

I glance at Ty'. She skims over the water,leting the hook pull her in. Ty' digs her nails into Brandon's arm and discards him as they get to the bank. She retracts her hooks and does a flashy backflip, landing in the splits.

"Nice move Ty'!" Dylan grins.

"Guys." she squeaks.

"It was awesome! And there was no strain on the wetsiuit." Alexis adds.

"Uhh." Ty' looks awkward. Almost pained.

"What's up Ty'?" I ask, all but Gwen of course go over to Ty'.

"I can't do the splits." she winces.

Alexis pulls the redhead up while I put her legs together. She leans on Alexis and me as we go back to Florence.

"Sooo." Oliver asks.

"Is Gwen alright?" I ask.

"Kira's with her right now. That water has had something thick and sticky added to it. It was like some sort of honey. She was really smart yet stupid to act like that." Blaise muses.

"Well that explains why those idiots." Durc's eyes travel toward Brandon and Adam who have rejoined Brad and Kyle on the floor.

"Team Angela! You're up!" Florence shouts from her space on a log, she's putting a cast on Gwen's arm.

"Right!" Angela struts past.

We wait. And wait. Dylan's back in his original clothes; the beige pants and white shirt while everybody else is in a wetsiut. Dylan's trying and failing to sew up the hole in the wetsuit.

"Dylan..." Alexis tries to apologise for like the ninth time.

"It's fine Alexis. No harm done."

"No harm done my ass! I cut your leg!"

"Yeah but you got me out of a potential ass whooping from Cherry Kawaii." Dylan runs a hand through his hair.

"Man you suck at sewing!" I laugh.

"Like you can do better Annie Coy." Durc nudges me.

"Hommade cosplay makes me pretty decent at sewing." I shrug. I take a random wood block from the floor and ram it up the leg. I then start to weave the needle across vertically, horizontally and diagonally. The patch is fairly opbvious but hey it will have to do. I hand the wetsuit back to Dylan after removing the wood.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK IS THIS THING ROBOTIC!"

"NO NO NO IT'S NOT! CARLEY RUN!" Zada shrieks.

"Code black. Code black!" the words echo through the area.

"Code black?" I cock a brow.

"Ugh, I can't believe I broke my goddamn arm." Gwen pouts.

"Hey, we heard the commotion. We pretty much worked out you had broken something." Kira laughs.

"Guess it could'a been worse though." Gwen muses.

"You're right there Gwenny." her blonde friend puts her arm around Gwen.

"It's all my fault! And I want to improve so bad and if anything I'm going to suck!" the short girl sulks.

"Well you should have paid more attention. If these things were real your whole squad would be dead!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"A BREACH!"

"CONTAIN THE BREACH!"

"EVACTUATE THOSE TRAINEES NOW!"

"TARGET SPOTTED AT NINE O'CLOCK!"

"Come on guys, let's get out of here!"

"NO!" Cherry hollers. "ALISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
