Chapter 28

[ (y/n)'s POV ]

As soon as we headed towards the wall, a loud explosion-like sound suddenly shook the whole town, making us scatter to random roofs for safety.

"Commander.. t-titans!" a soldier shouted.

The Armored Titan had managed to damage the wall by breaking through it, and making a hole so big that allowed other titans to enter as well.

"Everyone! You know what to do." Erwin said as we all nodded.

The assigned elite soldiers were already on the wall. Everyone else focused on the titans that were running around town and attacking citizens.

"Die!" I shouted as I sliced an abnormal's neck.

Not long after, Eren transformed and ran towards Reiner's direction, with Mikasa and the others following as well, whereas I continued killing as many titans as I could. I was slightly out of breath, however, so I decided to land on a nearby rooftop since I didn't have any other titans running in my direction.

At least I'm letting out all my anger.

I looked down at my hands and noticed that I was gripping my blades harder than usual, but then my eyes landed on my swollen wrist. Sighing, I looked over my shoulder and saw Levi fighting what seemed to be a 7m titan.

I rolled my eyes at him and looked elsewhere.

I found some cadets struggling with a 10m one, so I decided to help them by instantly killing it with a swift move.

"You guys should head that way, there are easier titans to deal with compared to this one." I suggested.

"Thank you Captain (y/n)!"

"Hey!"

Isaac landed next to me, Ed following not long after.

"How are you doing so far?" I asked.

"Isaac sprained his ankle." Ed teased, pointing at Isaac.

"Can you stop? I miscalculated." he pouted.

"You should've seen his face!"

"Guys this is really not the time to make fun of each other!" I argued. "I'm going to check on Eren and the others, be careful!"

"You too!"

I sprinted towards their direction, jumping from roof to roof.

"Mikasa, how's it going?"

"Eren's having a hard time!" she stressed.

"Do you have the explosives that we gave you?" I asked.

"Yes." they all said in unison.

"You should wait for the right moment and.. or maybe, force open his jaw and put the explosives inside his mouth."

"That's actually a good idea, but how are we going to do it?" Jean asked.

Suddenly, Hange stuck one of the explosives on the left side of the Armored Titan's jaw, making it swing open as soon as it exploded.

"Hange!" I exclaimed, a proud smile forming on my lips.

"Mikasa! Now!"

After landing inside his mouth, Mikasa quickly threw the explosives down his throat before pulling the string, a huge explosion making Reiner fly out of his titan form from the nape. Hange quickly caught him with the help of some soldiers, and soon after, they left.

"Connie, take Sasha into immediate care. The rest of you help us kill all the titans!" I ordered.

After wearing my cloak's hood over my head, I swung around town, searching for people who needed help.

[ Levi's POV ]

I continued killing multiple titans that were coming towards my direction for what felt like forever. My ribs started to hurt, but that didn't stop me from fighting. I was feeling tired, to be honest. Exhausted even. There were no titans nearby for the time being, so I decided to rest for some time.

I wonder how (y/n)'s doing...

Flashbacks from our last encounter crossed my mind. The way I hurt her. I grit my teeth and lowered my head, trying to catch my breath.

Though, I didn't notice what was standing right in front of me. When I felt the hot air hit my body, I opened my eyes and they met with the ones of a 20m Titan.

What the-

I immediately turned myself to the side while lifting my blades up in the air, ready to attack, when suddenly, I felt my ribs snap.

Shit!

The pain was unbearable. I fell to my knees and gripped my side.

And then I saw the titan's hand come right at me.

This.. this is it..

I closed my eyes, ready to face my fate, when I suddenly felt a hand pushing me back. Wincing in pain, I couldn't really see who it was because their face was covered by their hood.

The titan grabbed the other soldier instead, and it started to pull them towards its mouth. That said soldier managed to slash the inside of the titan's hand with their blades after struggling for a while, though, the grip didn't loosen. It only made the titan scream directly at that soldier's face. From all the air that came out of the titan's mouth, the soldier's hood fell back.

So I looked closer and..

"(y/n)?!"
