There Comes A Time

Chapter 6: For Eren!

<Armin POV>

'Me and Mikasa decided to abandon the Search with the others, we already knew where Eren was going to be, my only concern is how do we get there? Since Wall Maria is flooded with Titans, there must be another way, I'm guessing if Eren is already there he probably found a useful path' Armin thought.

While swinging around in their Manoeuvring Gear, Mikasa took a different route and Armin followed her.

Armin: "I think we're going the wrong way" Armin said.

Mikasa: "Don't worry, I found this hidden route when I was still living with Eren and his parents, me and Eren always used this short route to get home before our curfew time"

Armin was shocked that Mikasa was always one step ahead, no wonder she passed all her tests during the Training, she received Higher Marks than anyone in the Tiers. Eren on the other hand came Third in everything while Armin had to suffer with Fifth, although he aced all his other training and can fully diagnose the equipment that they were using, their Advantages and Disadvantages, he was also the man who comes up with solutions to whatever problems they faced. Such as being able to use Erens Titan as a decoy so they can get to the Survey Corps Town Base, before they run out of Gas.

Armin: "What will we say to him? He sounded pretty serious in the letter, do you think we can actually convince him?" Armin stated.

Mikasa: "I'm sure there's a bigger reason to all of this, I made a promise to Carla, Erens Mom, that I would always look out for him and Protect him, I CAN'T DO THAT NOW IF HE'S DEAD............." Mikasa said.

Armin: "Sorry Mikasa I didn't mean to........"

Mikasa: "Don't apologise, I'm the one who should apologise for being too rash and hasty on you"

Mikasa: "But for now let's find Eren........"

Armin: "Yeah you're right!"

'I have never seen Mikasa this serious before, I mean didn't she live with Erens Family her whole life? I'm guessing it's a sense of need she's feeling, in my book she always did protect him even if he was doing stupid things, I got it! She must have feelings for Eren' Armin started smiling after thinking about that thought, 'That must be it, she obviously loves Eren, Armin thought while staring at Mikasa,' Oh boyy this is great news'.

Moments later Armin and Mikasa came across a pathway, the ground however had bread crumbs covering it, Mikasa already knew that it was Eren, he was making his way to Wall Maria and was eating bread at the same time. Mikasa and Armin continued along the short path that Mikasa uncovered, they were able to make it to Wall Maria in a Day, which was very surprising, considering the fact that they had no water supply or any food.

They finally got to Wall Maria and saw the Emblem in the far distant.

Mikasa/Armin Together: "Finally"

Armin then had the thought of the Titans still wandering about the area.

Armin: "Hey Mikasa, we need to take higher grounds, there may be Titans lurking around this area"

Mikasa: "Good Idea, follow me" Mikasa said.

Armin followed Mikasa towards the wall in the Distance, they went up it and saw the devastation of Shingashina,

'The rain must of done all of this, thank god there wasn't a fire' Armin thought.

Both of them quickly hoped off the wall and realised that there was no Titans swarming the area, Mikasa quickly went over to Erens broken down home, she too was also triggered by the devastation that happened here 5 Years ago.
