My Name | Part 26

An earthshaking roar emitted from his throat as he broke through the cloud of smoke, landing onto the floor as he dragged his feet through the dirt below him--uplifting the layers of dirt below. I quickly threw my arms up to cover my ears and shut my eyes as the sheer volume of his voice caused my head to spin. As a precaution, I also connected my hooks onto the branch below me to ensure that I wouldn't fly off. The sound of his voice echoed throughout the forest before completely dying down and I opened my eyes to see Eren racing towards the Female Titan in rage. Small tears filled the brim of my eyes as I watched him cry out in desperation. Eren...I'm sorry.

As Eren grew near the Female Titan, he quickly tried to uppercut her, however, she swiftly dodged--keeping her posture perfect even with her arms fallen limp to her sides due to the cuts we'd inflicted. My eyes widened as I watched her next move, she quickly lunged towards Eren, kicking in square in the stomach. She was fast, not to mention light on her feet. Eren was pushed backwards as a pool of saliva traveled out of his mouth--but Eren wasn't going down quite yet.

He grabbed onto her foot and lifted it up, causing her to slowly lose her balance as the rest of her body followed. Eren took the opportunity and pushed her back, sending her tumbling back as she stumbled and tripped over various objects on the ground until finally losing her footing, falling with her back against a tree.

She quickly picked herself back up though. However, she still stood with her arms draped to her sides—limp and useless. She was still wasn't done healing the wounds from earlier—I noted as I saw steam rise from the cuts. Eren had the perfect opportunity to take her down now with her weakened state.

I drew my gaze back to Eren, his chest heaving up and down heavily, but he ignored his tired state and continued swinging at the Female Titan—sending a fury of punches her way. However, even in her injured state, she was able to dodge Eren's attacks one after another. After many attempts though, he landed a hit on her shoulder, sending her flying back and onto the floor, but what she did next surprised me.

After picking herself off from the floor, she took off running in the opposite direction of Eren. My eyes widened slightly as I watched Eren begin chasing after her. I need to move--I have to keep up with them. I quickly used my ODM gear to follow behind them from a distance. Eren finally caught up with her once they reached an opening. I watched closely as he threw many quick punches, all aiming for her face. Her dodges were getting sloppier as she repeatedly dodged every punch, however as she continued walking backwards, her heel became trapped against the trunk of a deceased tree, causing her to lose her footing. As she fell, waves of energy were sent flying through the ground and I quickly squatted and stabbed one of my blades into the branch of the tree, trying to keep my balance.

Could she not fight back? Or did she not want to? I don't get it? Her actions earlier implied that her objective was to obtain Eren, but now that she had him, why wasn't she trying to fight back. It seemed she was better at Martial Arts than Eren was anyways, so why didn't she try? Why run away now when you finally got what you wanted?

Eren quickly climbed over her, preventing her from moving any further. I watched as he brought his arm high up into the air and tried to bring it down onto her face. A large cloud of dust was kicked up, and a loud popping sound ripped through the air—which is opposite to what you would hear if you punched someone in the face. Did he miss?

I waited for the cloud of dust to disappear, and through it, I saw Eren's arm connected to the floor below--his arm was broken to shit. The skin encasing his arm torn and you could even see the bones and muscles within showing.

As Eren lifted his hand, my eyes widened as I saw how all his fingers were blown off and only the mere skeleton was left as blood dripped from his hand but it didn't seem to faze Eren. Although I knew it would grow back in no time, it slightly shocked me at how hard he'd punched the ground.
