Beyond The Walls

Chapter 043

Burn It Down

The remaining scouts was divided by Lev. Group A, which will be incharge of the attacks and offense. While group B as the distraction team. Jiro and Amir are the only one on group B, with Jiro using his titan ability to distract Gustav. After a careful planning, they decided to execute the plan. Hanes and Jean grabbed all the remaing thunder spears, while Amir and Jiro are both on the move. "Jiro, are you sure you can transform again?" Amir asked as they hide behind a fallen out wall. Jiro eagerly nods before biting his hand, transforming him into his titan form. Gustav seems to notice the lightning strike, walking towards Jiro and Amir's direction. Jiro then charged towards Gustav's massive foot, trying to stop him. "Jiro, it's no use. He's too big!" Amir said as he climbs up Jiro's back from protection. Jiro then punches Gustav's foot, making him lift it up to deliver a huge and devastating kick to Jiro. Amir managed to move on Jiro's front body before he hits the wall. "It looks like we got his full attention. I have another plan." Amir said as Jiro sits up. He listens carefully to Amir's plan as the other made their way on the Colossal titan's shoulder, hurling the thunderspear on his nape. But Gustav felt their gripped so he immidiately uses steam to change the missile's direction, making none of it hit him. "Looks like our other plan failed, Lev. It's time to leave it to those two." Hanes said as they went down to the ground. "I really don't want to do this. But you give me reasons to actually do it and kill you all." Gustav said as he watches the other scouts moved away from him. He then turns his attention to Jiro and Amir before hurling stones towards them. Jiro quickly went to dodge it, taking cover under the wall. Gustav sees Jiro and Amir's position as an opening for him to kill them both. Before he could even uses his devastating enery, Amir manages to get all the way up on his head, stabbing his eyes. "Gustav, this will be the end of you!" Amir shouted as he latches on the titan's teeth. "Amir, I'm really sorry. But I can't let you win." Gustav said before using his heat energy to blow and burn Amir. The lad was still attached to his ODM gear as his body starts to get burned and toasted from the heat. "What a silly guy. Willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his friend. But that will not change my mind." Gustav said before using his energy more, completely burning Amir to crisp. After he was done, he looks for Jiro's body, but was shocked to see that it was just his titan body, and his original body's not inside it. "It's a trap!?" Before he could even react, Jiro appeared right behind his nape, a hint of anger visible on his eyes. "I will kill you, traitor!" Jiro said before slicing open the Colossal titan's neck, pulling Gustav out. He threw him down to the ground as he follows. Soon, the colossal body fell, crushing everything beneath it. The other's gather around on top of one of the building, trying to get answers from Gustav. "Where's Amir?" Jiro asked as he looks for his friend. They all shrugged their shoulders, when suddenly Eric screamed for help. They all look over his direction, shocked upon seeing Amir's toasted and burnt body. They quickly went to his body, Jiro and Yukan falling both on their knees, as they mourn for Amir. "He sacrificed himself for our plan to succeed." Hanes said as she checks on Amir's pulse. With a deep sigh, she announced Amir's death with a hint of sadness present in her voice. Lev went to join them, bringing Gustav's arm and legless body. "Now, we lost another comrade." Lev said as he points his blade on Gustav's neck."Now it's your time to die as well." Lev said before everything turns silent.
