Not The One Who Dies ⇀ Attack on Titan *Original*

Part 2: The Battle for Trost

Logan had figured it would be fine to get some rest when they finally arrived back in Trost, boy was he wrong. He jerked awake from a nightmare to people running outside of Levi's room, screaming for everyone to grab the 3DM gear. Within seconds the door busted open, Petra looking more scared then he'd ever seen her.

"Logan! Oh thank god." She said, running to hug the boy who hugged back, quickly asking what was going on. She gave him a teary-eyed look, not knowing he hadn't been told yet.

"The colossal titan, it's back." She said, causing Logan's eyes to widen. He hadn't seen the colossal titan when he put a hole in wall maria but he had been told stories about the sixty-meter titan.

"Oh shit, Let me get dressed. I'll be right out." Logan said, quickly standing from the bed and picking up the clothes he had been wearing on the mission he had just returned from.

He walked from Levis room, finding Erwin talking to Petra and Levi in the hallway. The smaller man noticed him first, not hiding his scowl from his face. Logan sighed already knowing what he was about to say.

"Logan, No. You are staying here." He said sternly causing Logan to shake his head defiantly making Levi angrier. He didn't understand why the damn brat wouldn't just stay in HQ where it was safe.

"Kid, you go out there you're at more of a risk then here. I think all three of us agree on you staying here. So listen to me." Levi yelled causing Logan to flinch. The boy took a step towards the man, trying to calm him down, it was clear that he was stressed out from all of the chaos going on and didn't want Logan to be in the middle of it.

"Levi, I need to be out there with you three. Truth is if I'm alone or with someone else I'd just be more scared." Logan spoke out causing Levi's face to soften slightly. Erwin gave him a look almost saying 'He's not wrong.'

"Fine, but you stay out of the front lines and you stick with one of us." Levi grnted out, tapping Logans tanks to make sure they were full. The trio exited the barracks and flew through the city, killing every titan they came across. Sadly they couldn't save everyone, Levi had to hold a dying soldiers hand and tell him he was usful to humanity. Logan hated having to see his friend do that. While Levi was cold on the outside, he knew it affected him deeply.

"You guys alright?" Logan asked as Levi was standing up from the now dead soldier. Petra wiping a tear from her face as she nodded. Levi just grunted and flew off to kill more titans. Before he could fly off fast footsteps were heard coming from behind him.

"Corporal Logan! The HQ is being swarmed! The supply depot team hasn't been able to get anyone new gas!" One of the lower ranks said, breathing hard at him. Logan turned and watched as Levi and Petra were already flying off.

"Shit. Okay, let's go. I'm sorry I don't know your name." Logan stated, clearly going against Levi's direct orders. People needed help and he fully intended to do everything he could to help them.

"It's Alex sir!" Alex said, he was a rather cute boy with dark black hair and blue eyes. Logan nodded giving him a small smile before the two took off towards the HQ. Killing titans as they went, Logan looked like an angel of death as he gracefully cut down titans left and right.

"Sir! Watch out for th-" Alex was screaming as he was snatched from mid air by an abnormal that had been hiding. Logan's eyes went wild as his heart dropped. He made a swift turn to try to save the cadet, but it was too late. The Titan has half of his body sticking from his mouth.

Logan cut the titan down, continuing on to the HQ, not letting the soldiers sacrifice go to waste. He flew towards the HQ, one last Titan standing in his way. He sighed knowing he didn't have time to deal with him, Logan quickly passed the Titan by going under his legs and slicing his Achilles tendinitis.
