"Eren I think something is wrong with Mikasa. Have you noticed that her headaches have been growing more and more frequent?" Says armin.  Dude how am I supposed to know? All she ever does is pester and over me like some fly. I can't ever get a breath out around her. Mutters eren as he walks along side his long time best friend. You know what eren you need to stop. At times it seems like I consider Mikasa as more of a sister than you do. One day your going to yell at her and she won't be there the very moment you need her, and you know what? She's going to blame herself for it and I do not want to be there to pick up the pieces. Yells armin as he storms off Into an unknown direction.

All the while this was happening a batty scientist picked up fragments of the argument piecing together Mikasa and headaches that she forgot to report in her annual check up. As she retreated back to her lab she collected frozen blood samples of the solder worth millions to test against every possible ailment to see how to help her besties little crush.

POV Hange Zoe

As I stabilized Mikasas blood sample I began to test upon it. The possibilities I could find with it! She's such a fascinating specimen. The muscle mass, the strength, the endurance, the beauty. One day she will tell me all her inner details. As the blood started circulating though the scientific contraption information started to shoot up on the computer screen.

Blood type: o-          Testosterone: high
Magnesium deficient  potassium:normal
Estrogen: normal.   Iron deficient

So far it's not looking that good... how is she still functioning on expert level without collapsing. How come I haven't came across any of this sooner? My thoughts race as I pull up previous medical records of mikasas.

Blood type:o- Testosterone normal
Magnesium:deficient potassium normal
Estrogen:normal iron normal
Ect....
How did this change occur so fast? The regimens diet has not changed. Her fighting has only gotten better. Last week her levels were normal. What am I missing and why am I missing it. When I compare her levels to sickly patients none show to many similarities. As I scroll down deeper into mikasas records a series of anomaly's hit me hard.

Does Mikasa have a virus or diseases?! Is it contagious? How long has this been even present? As I continue to delve into the depths of mikasas medical history my systems crash and the alarm that signals a breach in the wall has been sounded. Forcing myself to stop what I'm doing I rush out to see what orders my midget bestie has for me.

"Everyone this is not a breach on the wall it is a breach of personnel along with an invasion of titans heading this way. We must stop them and catch a poser within our ranks." Commands Levi as he looks as fearless as ever but if you really look into his eyes you will see the fear and hostility mixed behind his gaze. " now the question is who is the real enemy here" whispers Erwin as he steps beside me. He looks at me intensely waiting for my answer. "Us and the people we trust. We can't trust our own judgement because it's bias and the people we trust are glorified in our own eyes allowing us not to see them for who they truly are." I state with little hesitation. Erwin smiles as nods his head while beckoning me. He then tells me that he believes titans are among us right where we stand. Shifters just like eren. I pause thinking back to the unknown gene I saw in mikasa's medical history. I open my mouth to say it when a screech is heard. "Lets go you all know your formations" yells Levi as we send ourselves over the wall I glance forward to see Mikasa with a look of determination and from that point on I knew that if she was a titan she really did not know. She's so loyal and strong. She would do nothing to put eren in danger and if she was a shifter she would have shifted to protect him in numerous situations. But then I think back to Erwin "who do you think the real enemy is?" Could that just be my perception of her? What about him? He could be an enemy and I just blindly followed him. Then I realized I failed his test and looked back at him and he knew I knew. His smile said so as he sped up to get closer to Mikasa. Most-likely to ask her the same exact question.

Mikasa's POV
The feeling of flight is wondrous. Weightlessness briefly helps me forget how awful this world can be. The thought of battle for some reason trills me more than usual. An opportunity for me to kill? Is that what's making me exited? "Ackerman! I have a question for you". My gaze quickly shoots over to Erwin as my thoughts come to a halt. "Who do you think the true enemy is?" He says as he waits for me to answer. " like I've said this world is cruel yet beautiful the enemy could be circumstance the enemy could even be yourself. Not pushing yourself when you know you could be better or not saving someone when you could have. What makes someone say that your not the enemy? Anyone could be an enemy depending on how you look at it." I finished. He nods and develops a serous expression. "Go to the location of Levi's squad and report to Petra" he orders and I go immediately. With one quick glance behind me I see hange stare at us intensely. I dismiss it and continue forward.

Armin's POV
the answer I gave the commander must have pleased him because the orders he gave me were very secretive. However the answer eren gave him I know for a fact was not. "TITANS they are our enemy and that is why I must kill them all" he practically yelled. I sigh as I continue with the plan to stop this horde. He has said that the armored titan has made an appearance in shiganshina and it has been looking for something vigorously. My first guess was the basement but only someone close to us would know something like that. This had me thinking the only people who knows is the captain and commander, hange, me, eren, Mikasa, and possibly "the boys"...."the boys". Jean,connie,Reiner. Are they suspects?! I've seen jean and Connie not to long ago but where the hell is reiner. At this thought I panic. Could he be the one who's the armored Titian? ARMIN LOOK OUT! at that moment I turned to my right and everything went to shit.

ERENS POV
TITANS they all must die they are our enemy right? If this was true why was Erwin so disappointed with my answer. As I travel with Levi's squad I see Mikasa swing on through reporting immediately to Petra. She knows something I do not. She always has the upper hand. If it were a fight between my titan and her I'm sure I can just crush her. Shit why am I thinking this way? She's my sister right? With these thoughts running though my head I think back on what armin said not to long ago. I look up to see Mikasa looking at me like I'm some type of wounded animal and the frustration builds up inside me. "I don't need you taking care of me all the time." I snap. I feel bad for a second but it's for the best. The hate and frustration in my eyes must have been evident because this time she actually backed off. She's never done that before but I know I'll have her back later. Levi looks at me with potent venom. I ignore it and continue on the path. Suddenly all types of smoke rises and with my acute hearing possibly Enhanced by my titan I can hear someone say that armin has been eaten. The rage builds inside me. Mikasa has been stationed somewhat near his fraction. If she would have stayed maybe she could have helped him instead of being selfish and coming here. I look forward to see more titans appear and a glimpse of the armored titan up ahead. No one but me saw him and no one but me is going to take him down. I go to bite my hand when Petra tells me to trust her but that was short lived as she gets smashed against a tree. Lightning sounds and I bite myself and charge. Left and right I must kill them all and get to the armored titan. At this point I care for nothing else. Whoever gets in my way shall parish and I will have blood.

Death and destruction is what I live for and everyone is my enemy. Armin is dead and Mikasa has failed me like she always has. I'm not considered a person by anyone and if imma be used as a tool then I'll behave like one. A wave of familiarity washed over me as I watched the armored titan. Someone I knew fought and behaved like it but who? WHO? As I think for once I have the answer. Not only have I been betrayed by my sister but also a close friend. REINER. No one will get in my wa- pain Pain PAin PAIn PAIN....silence and dark.

NO POV
Eren has been cut down but no one knew what his goal was. All they knew was that he was going on a rampage towards something unknown to them. The armored titan got away and the horde soon followed. not everyone grieved his death and some did more than others. Some for the sake of a ruined mission. Dole for the sake of lost family and friends. And others for a failed plan. But something was birthed that day and soon would awaken into something earth shaking.
