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

Part 16: Always and Forever

Logan landed harshly on Stark as he swerved left to avoid the incoming swarm of Titans led by Erwin. Logan quickly met up with the commander giving him a firm nod of thankfulness as the pair watched the armored titan shoulder charge into the horde, being slowed down by the titans grabbing onto it. Logan watched with almost horror as Ymir protected the girl on her back, ripping a nape from a titan and tossing it to the side causing a shockwave of debris around them.

Logan grabbed the reigns of Stark to advance but the horse had been still, loudly neighing. The boy looked down and spotted a small bloodstain on his white fur, it wasn't fatal but he needed to let Stark get somewhere safe.

"Erwin! I need to go take Stark somewhere safe! He's hurt! I'll be right behind you." Logan yelled at the commander who nodded. The boy quickly rode the horse a decent ways away before hopping from the side and wrapping the wound in bandages.

"You'll be okay boy. Stay here, I'm gonna finish this." Logan said as he pet the horse on his side, pushing his head into his beasts. Logan turned his attention to the battlefield, beginning to run. He started at a normal pace, quickly picking up speed until he was passing people on horseback.

The scouts almost looked at the running boy as if he was superhuman which of course, he was. His arms swung from side to side as his chest heaved with every few steps of his run. His eyes narrowed as he continued to speed up, trying to get to the commander.

"ALL SOLDIERS CHARGE! We've come to the moment of truth! Mankind's fate is decided now! There is no future in which we reclaim these lands without Eren-- and there never will be! Go! Recover Eren from the Armored Titan and retreat! Your heart and soul to the cause!" Erwin shouted as he took charge in front of the scouts. Logan slightly smiled at his commander, he trusted him fully and let the words inspire him.

"Advance!!" Erwin shouted as he pointed his sword to the side, signaling an advance with the troops. Logan watched in horror as an abnormal titan sideswiped the commander and bit down on the man's arm. The man who had allowed Levi to take the boy in and taught him everything he had known about military strategy. Logan grunted as he picked up the pace towards the monster, going to save the man he thought of as an uncle.

"I said advance, goddamn it! Eren's right in front of you! Do not falter!" Erwin shouted as he was carried away by the titan, showing fortitude in even the greatest pain. Logan quickly jumped into the air, flipping over the titan and letting his claws slide through the titan's nape, killing it swiftly.

Logan landed on his feet as he kicked up dirt with his feet skidding across the ground. He ran towards Erwin who was staring at the sky.

"Holy shit old man, Even I gotta admit. That was badass." Logan said, breathing heavily. Erwin's eyes traveled to the boy as he gave him a pained smile. Other scouts began to arrive at the commander's position, surprised to see the already dead titan and their corporal with claws sticking from his hands.

"Logan, Go!" Erwin shouted upon seeing the arrival of the other scouts, they could help him. Humanity needed its best fighter on the front lines. Logan nodded to him before turning around and beginning to run, quickly getting up to the speed he was at before.

He met the front lines quickly, matching the horse's speed as he looked to Mikasa and Jean, both of them seemed very surprised to see a man going as fast as a horse.

"Get to Eren! Go!" Logan shouted causing Jean's eyes to widen, seeing the titans in front of them.

"Did you not hear the words of the Commander?! FIGHT UNTIL YOUR LAST BREATH! GIVE YOUR HEART AND SOUL TO THE CAUSE!" Logan yelled as he swept beneath the titans, jumping into the air as he hooked himself to the armored titan, swinging upwards to quickly slice the jaw of the titan, Bertholdt, and Eren flying outwards.
