Bertholdt x Mikasa (BeruMika)

One

~Bertholdt's POV~

"Mikasa I have the right side!" Was all I could make out to her, as there was a five metre and two metre titan on the right of her. I went into gear and slashed the Achilles tendon of both titans. As they fell and steamed I ran up against the cracks of wall Maria.

Mikasa finished both of them off as Armin just looked like he was on the cliff of losing his shit. God knows what he's thinking of! Such a philosopher from what I hear. Always had his head in the books, from childhood to now. But now is not the time for him to be so reserved, he needs to get his shit together if he wants to come out of this alive.

"Are these guys idiots?!" Mikasa yelled; that's a first.

I turned to her on a roof, and her eyes were pointing to a squad placed on the floor! Holy crap, that's suicide being on the ground like that! Well we can't do anything but watch what they do.

"Hey?!" I shouted over to Mikasa. Her head perked to me.

"Aren't they supposed to be warding titans away from here?!"

"I suppose that's why we just took down a five and two metre: the others couldn't hold 'em off." Mikasa explained.

Makes sense considering there weren't supposed to be ANY  titans within a quarter mile radius of Eren.

"What are you idiots doing down there?!" Is all I heard from our captain.

Five titans were headed towards Eren from the left, and the other squad from the right to the titans. They were huge. At least 10 and 12 metres?!

Mikasa looked up at me. And I gave her a face begging for her to just stay there: I can't lose her just for her helping a squad that didn't do their job.

She looked away and stood in her spot. I gave a sigh of relief.

"Sorry Captain! Our plans failed as Eren picked that boulder up! What could we do?!"

" FOR HUMANITTYYYY!!" I hear someone screaming into a battle cry, they sliced the nape so deep I think they hit the spine.

A 20 metre fell right before us and Eren kept moving. Two other 20 metres made their way about 25 metres away from him, Mikasa's body was prompt and turned towards the both. I acknowledged her stance and moved on the wall towards them.

Armin stood in horror as he was almost grabbed. I looked down at him and geared myself on Eren's leg. Armin ran and ran. I pulled him up and he was still in shock, not reacting to anything.

"Get on the wall now! If you're going to use that gear ever, now would be a good time!" I yelled. Little did I know these would be my last words. A distorted face swooped me up.

This is it, this is the end for me.

"MIKASA! GET THE OTHER ONE!" if this is how I'm going out, I'll talk to the last one I love.

"I LOVE YO--"

Commander Levi landed on the floor as the titan holding me captive fell back. I kicked the fingers opened. It was a scout:

Commander Levi.

He just.

He just saved my life.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOMM~

was all I heard.

The ground trembled, wind flew my clothes forward, it was hot air and dust and gravel drew into the skies. I got up. And there was Eren closing the way of wall Maria.

A day of success for humanity.

Unfortunately too many were lost for a celebration to be in order.

Our fellow cadets; you did not die in vain. Your services are greatly appreciated. Is all I heard Armin muttering in tears of horror and despair. Mikasa ran up on a titan carcass, kicked off and geared onto wall Maria, and lowered herself to cut Eren's titan spinal cord.

I suppose it's time now.
