Until the End || Levi x Reader Insert Fanfiction

Ch 36- The Peace We Dreamt Of

Your mind wonders to Levi momentarily among the bloodbath you cause and you think of the goal you know he still sets himself... to kill Zeke. You have all yet to see the man amid the fight but you knew he was present; he had to be for Eren to uphold the use of the Founding Titan completely. You knew the burden of not fulfilling his last pledge to Erwin. He had never failed a task appointed to him by the Commander and you knew that though he was to stay atop Falco with Gabi, the mere sight of the man he despised would force him into the battle by the sheer will of his emotions. Your thoughts are broken when you see Pieck's form suddenly fall from the sky, with no question the cause being exhaustion from constantly transforming. "Pieck!" You yell before flashing over to her and barely dodging the claws of another Jaw Titan who approaches her. Your eyes turn and now you see Jean struggles against Titans that are in the way. When you turn back, Reiner has been impaled several times, struggling under the weight of one that pins him down.

Suddenly it seems as though victory will be sparse as you see that Pieck has injured her arm hindering her transformation as she winces in your grasp. Jean and Reiner are on the brink of destruction as they fight against Titans that surround them but barely remain moving. Your mind whirls, as no matter how fast you are, being the only one able to attack in your group would do nothing to stop the impending deaths that approach you all. You put Pieck down gently and grab out your swords harshly as two more Jaw Titans bound over to you two, and Pieck lets in a sharp intake of breath as she tries to stand back up and somehow fight. You wait for the blow and the inevitable fight that awaits, however, just as you were desperately going to try and help your comrades somehow survive, two more Titans come from behind the two that try to attack you.

You hear the hitch of Pieck's voice as she looks up with tears in her eyes. "Porco! Marcel!" When you look back you realise that the Titans that attack are somehow conscious now, no longer their hollow shells, and their past holders are by some means helping you defeat other Titans that remain. You watch as another Titan helps retch away at those who tear at Jean and Reiner, helping to clear a path for you all. 'Now's the time. Now or never.' You move through the air, helping the now-conscious Titans pave a stronger path, you yell out, "Go, Jean!!" He reacts, quickly pushing himself to his feet. Several moments pass and the rumbling underneath the Founding Titan has gone quiet; somehow stopping. 'Levi... could he have killed Zeke?' Jean lets out a strangled cry as he dodges obstacles and finally, finally makes his way to the detonator. He grabs it now secure in his hold, and moving a small distance away, tears brim in his eyes as he screams out to Eren.

"You damned... suicidal dumbass!"

The explosion is huge, able to sever Eren's head from the Founding Titan's body as its nape erupts into massive flames that now spill fumes in the sky. You grit your teeth as you try to steady yourself among the waves and waves of heat that burst upon you looking away at the sudden bright encompassment of the eruption. When you look back you see a large, glowing, worm-like essence spill from the nape of the Founding Titan. Your eyes widen as you wonder if this is the Titan's true form, glowing a sharp white as it somehow looks alive in the air. "That thing's gonna go for Eren's head again!" Jean yells out from where he is below you, and you look up to see that what he's saying is true and that the large skeletal worm now dives for Eren's Titan head crushed within the ground. Reiner, also following your gaze now reacts, damned if we had to go through all of that once again.

He moves out of nowhere holding on to the worm-like being tightly, letting out a guttural roar as he is dragged across the ground under the weight of its strength. "Jean, Pieck, Captain!" Connie's voice now calls out to you as you see Porco's flying Titan approaching you. "We're getting out of here! Armin's gonna blow all of this up!" Jean pauses in hesitation whilst Pieck comes forward now in her Titan form, before revealing herself. "Wait! Reiner's down there!" Jean calls out in hesitation, but Pieck retorts quickly, knowing time is of the essence. "The Armoured Titan should be able to withstand the Colossal's explosion." You nod your head quickly turning to the two as you speak up quickly. "Regardless, to pass up this chance would be to trample on Reiner's resolve. Quickly, let's go!"
