Vengeance Of A Human

Battle of Trost: An Unexpected Ally

"You cowards! You left us out there on our own! People are dead because you didn't have the guts to do your job!" Seems we found the supply squadron. Before Jean could beat the shit out of the soldier, Marco held Jean back while a female soldier placed herself between her comrade and Jean.

"The Titans were coming at us from every angle! They overran the supply room, okay?"

"It's your job to deal with it and back us up anyway!"

"Jean!" I step up, facing Jean in an attempt to calm him down. "Getting mad right now is not going to get us anywhere, no matter how justified you are! We made it here, we'll take care of the situation, we'll supply ourselves." Jean seemed to calm down, though Marco still held him. I turn to the woman, kneeling to her level. "What is the situation in the supply room?"

Before she could explain, a voice behind us (Reiner's?) yells "Hit the deck!" The wall breaks, sending rocks and humans flying. Outside the hole is the smiling face of a Titan. Shit, they know we're inside. There's too many of us in this one space, and they smell a trapped feast.

"Everyone, get inside! Let's move!" I direct the cadets, moving in their panicked states but at least they're mobile. As I look back, I see Jean frozen, staring down the two Titans outside the fortress wall. "Jean!" I run to him, but pause as a new development occurs right in front of us.

The Titan whose head formed the hole has a gigantic fist squishing his head. Both of us gasp in surprise as the head disappears, replaced by a long-haired Titan that roars at the ones it hit.

"Wha... What the... My god."

"Did...that Titan...hit the others?"

Standing in our shock, we barely register Mikasa, Armin, and Conny joining us through the windows. Breathing in relief they're okay, I nod in acknowledgment to their presence. Jean speaks. "Mikasa, you're..."

Conny taps on his gas tanks. "Wow. Close one. I was running on fumes. We made it here, though! Crazy, but we did!"

Jean is still confused as he walks to Mikasa. "You... I ... Am I dreaming this, or what?"

Conny slaps Armin's back. "You're a goddamn genius! From now on, as far as I'm concerned, your word is law!"

I cross my arms, now wondering just what got Conny so excited he's not acting like the brat he was earlier. "What is going on?"

"Check it out! We found an Abnormal that's got a bone to pick with its own kind. And the best part? He couldn't care less about us!"

"A Titan that fights other Titans?" If I hadn't just seen it, I wouldn't believe it. And Armin came up with a plan...to lead it here? I glance at him, seeing that he's back to his normal self. He is no fighter, but he saw potential in this abnormality. Eren would be proud of you.

"That's right, you heard me: This big beautiful SOB's our ticker out of here!"

I nod. "That's a good idea. Fight fire with fire."

"Listen to yourself's," Jean shouts, "a Titan is not going to help us! You're out of your mind if you think this can work!"

I shrug. "Why not? It seems to be working to me."

"It is working," Mikasa sternly states. "For whatever reason, he's rampaging against them. Stand back and let him do it. Trust me. You'll see. Either way, what choice do we have? Right now, that thing is our best chance at survival."

Jean rescinds himself from the argument. Now we have an opportunity we cannot miss. "Everyone, listen up. While that Titan keeps the other Titans busy on the outside, we need to get to the supply room. We refuel, we use our big ally to get to the Wall, we come out alive."
