The Guardian's Tale (AOT fanfiction)

-Outside the Walls of Orvud District-

We pursued the Anti-Personnel squad through the Underground chapel only to encounter a net that they must have dropped during their retreat. Since we couldn't make it through, we all started to look for another way until Armin spotted a hole in the wall, covered by what seemed to be metal bars. It might have been a way through but it was blocked and we didn't have anymore gunpowder. Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the exit of the cave, making us all shield our eyes. 

"Wait Captain...that light..." I stuttered as I realized that the light could only come from a Titan transformation. 

We all knelt down and planted our hooks in the ground to prevent ourselves from flying off due to the huge gust of wind. The cave started collapsing when, luckily for us, Armin pointed out that the hole from before had opened up. Levi ordered Armin and Moblit to get Hange to a safe place while the rest of us followed after him. 

When we came through, Mikasa caught Historia from going flying against a wall and Levi, Jean, Connie and I spotted Eren, chained up on some sort of crystal platform. Historia handed Levi the keys and Jean and I both grabbed one of Eren's arms as Connie laid down behind us. I managed to unlock Eren's wrist and I handed the keys to Connie. 

"Just leave me here...forget it...Hurry up and escape !" Eren cried out.

"Stop whining. I didn't get shot twice just so I could let your dumbass die." I growled. "We got gunmen and a god damn Titan coming at us so pipe down."

Connie managed to free Eren's feet and when I looked up at the Titan, I gasped. He was even bigger than the Colossal, and uglier too. As the ceiling was about to collapse, Jean unlocked Eren's second wrist and we pulled him back just as a crystal took down the platform where we stood just seconds ago. 

We found ourselves backed up against a wall with no way out as the ceiling collapsed around us. For some reason, Eren slid down the wall sitting down and apologized, calling himself useless. 

"Come on stop trying to play the tragic hero." Jean spoke up. "Of course you're too weak to accomplish jack shit by yourself but no one expects you to."

"He's right. We've been through a whole lot worst than this." I added. "Not that I really wanna get used to it tho. Still...it's gonna suck tryna fly though that mess."

We then start talking about using our ODM gear to escape and carry Historia and Eren but the emerald-eyed boy interrupts, saying it was useless. 

"So what ?" I growled. "You suggest we sit here on our asses and do nothing ? Dying here ain't gonna solve anything." I glanced at him. "Believe me...I get it. We all have our dilemmas but don't go dragging us into your suicidal bullshit."

Levi then agreed, saying he had to make a choice just like when the Female Titan attacked our squad. I finally saw determination fill Eren's eyes and he grabbed a strange bottle before charging towards Rod Reiss's Titan. Knowing he'd need help, I ran after him despite Jean trying to hold me back. 

"Eren...we can do this...together." I said as I grabbed his hand.

He nodded and broke the bottle between his teeth as a strange blue light started shining around our joint hands. As soon as he transformed, I slammed my hands down on the ground and crystal pillars rose up from he ground around the both of us. I signaled for the others to get under Eren and when I looked down at my hands, I noticed that they were shining with a strange blue light. This is what the Guardian Titan was created for...to watch over others. 

I couldn't tell how long it had been but when my eyes opened, Mikasa was breaking Eren out of his crystallized Titan and Jean had finished breaking the crystals that were fusing my hands to the ground. I watched in shock as I realized that even after Eren being freed from his Titan...it hadn't gone away. I remember now...this was part of the first Titan's memories...this is how the walls were made. With this knowledge, we could plug up Wall Maria. 

"Captain ! We've secured an exit sir !" Sasha called out as her and Connie came down from a hole in the ceiling.

"Let's go." The Captain spoke up. "We have a big-ass Titan to catch."

Jean threw me onto his back and we finally climbed up to fresh air. When we looked back at the cave, we saw that a huge trail had been formed and we spotted a huge, steaming Titan crawling away. Kinda looked like a big worm with legs actually.

As soon as we got into the carriage, my head started aching because of the amount of power I'd just used. I let my head plop down on Jean's shoulder and drifted off to sleep as he checked my bullet wounds.

(.........)

It was still the middle of the night when we made it to Orvud. Jean helped me out of the carriage and we were about to head to the main hall when Levi stopped us.

"Historia...I forgot to tell you." He said after turning to me. "There's something we need you to do. This is an order from Erwin. Once we finish off this Titan, seeing as you're the true successor to the throne, you'll become Queen."

Everyone's eyes widened and I just clenched my fists and turned away. History WAS really gonna repeat itself by having a pretender on the throne after all. Historia and the others started arguing but I slammed my hand against the carriage.

"LISTEN UP !" I growled. "Historia. Don't you DARE whine about having to become queen because mark my words I will shove my blade so fucking far down your throat. Stop fucking whining about 'I don't wanna do this' or 'I don't wanna do that'. My clan died because of YOUR family's thirst to get the throne so now it's your duty you understand ? Don't get me wrong I will NEVER bow to you but we all made sacrifices for humanity and it's about time you did too. Unless you wanna stay a useless bitch forever then you WILL fulfill your duty and you WILL help my people. I don't give a single shit about what you want or don't want. My clan didn't get slaughtered just for you to be a bitch about this you understand ?" I looked at her dead in the eyes. "These people out there ? They're my people. I was the one supposed to guide them into a better life. But because your family took that from us, I can't. So I don't care what I have to do to make you, you WILL help them and lead them into a better life. Your family was selfish and you have to pay the price for it. Too fucking bad but guess what. I had to pay up years ago so now it's your turn."

"Yuki what are you saying ?" Jean asked, perplex. "YOUR people ? I don't understand." He asked before I lifted my head up, my golden eyes shining in the torches's lights.

"My name...is Yuki Uchiha and I am the true Ruler of the Walls."
