It was night, Reiner, Annie and Bertolt were going back to the camp after their talk.
"I keep having the same dream." Bertolt told them. "I dream about the guy who hung himself in the fields. Why did he tell us that story right before he hung himself?"
Reiner looked at Bertolt. "Obviously, that's something we'll never know."
"I bet he wanted someone to forgive him." Annie said. "Considering we left Marcel and ran, it's not like we can say much."
"But there were scared, I think anyone would ran away, when they see something like that." Historia said frowning.
"Marley doesn't care about that. If Reiner came back without the Jaw Titan, he would probably get taken away his Titan." Ymir said.
"But not this time though." Connie pointed out.
"Yes. I'll be with you, instead Reiner and Bertolt." Ymir nodded.
"For some reason, I can't help but think: That old man, I think wanted... was to be judged by someone." Bertolt said.
|~|
Falco and Reiner were in a almost dark room. Mr. Kruger sat in front of Reiner in a chair. Reiner stared at him. "Hey. It's been four years, Reiner."
They tensed.
"Oh, shit..."
"I didn't see that coming."
Eren's eyes were wide. 'What am I doing?
The tension in the room was tense.
Shock was written all over his face. He couldn't say a word.
Falco stood at the wall and looked at Reiner. "Um, huh? Aren't you two supposed to be old friends? Isn't that right, Mr. Kruger?"
"Ehm... yeah... sure...." Sasha said and chuckled weakly.
"Very good old friends." Connie said sarcastically.
"Why did I drag Falco into this." Eren said with clenched fists. 'The boy has nothing to do with this.'
Mikasa put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure you'll let him go. There's no reason why he should be with you. I know you wouldn't want a boy get involved into this."
Eren nodded. 'Yeah. I wouldn't want that. Falco will go out of this room unharmed.'
Candy had trouble to keep her face straight. She bit the bottom of her lip. 'I'm sorry, Eren. But you'll get Falco involved in this. You changed in these four years.'
"Yeah. There's so much to catch up on. I don't even know where to start."
"Impossible..." Reiner managed to say. "Eren!"
|~|
The stage was finished and the curtains were closed. The guests and citiziens were sitting on their seats and waiting for the announcement to begin.
Lord Tybur was behind the stage and stood in front of a mirror. "Lped Tybur, it's almost time." the guard beside him said.
"Right." he looked to the and saw the woman who helped Udo.
"My goodness!" she said smiling.
"Well, well! Come to give me a pep talk, Madam Azumabito?" he greeted her.
'This woman again. Who is she?' Mikasa thought and shared a look with Eren.
"I hope I'm not a bother. I just came to see your face."
He dabbed with a handkerchief his cheek. "Given my stage fright, I'm sure I look hideous."
"No, you look courageous." she assured him. "My whole clan knows how brave you are. I wish you the best luck."
"I appreciate it, Lady Kiyomi." They shook hands.
|~|
"Sit down, Reiner." Eren said. "They're good seats, right? You can hear everything on stage. The building above us is all housing." The building was shown. People were in there. "It's behind the stage, but it's full of people waiting for the curtains to rise."
"I don't like the sound of that..."
"Me neither."
"It sounds like you threatened him. I mean, when he don't sit down, you would transform and kill all these people in there." Armin concluded.
Eren's eyes wiedened in horror. "But I wouldn't do that."
"We know, Eren. But Reiner didn't, you said that so he don't try to do something." Petra assured him.
Levi narrowed his eyes at the screen. 'I wouldn't believe that. Something is off about Eren. But I don't know what exactly.'
Jean didn't believe it, either. But he didn't say anything, he hoped he was wrong.
Hange and Erwin shared a look, both of them could feel, that something terrible was going to happen.
Reiner still looked at him with wide eyes.
"Directly above us." Eren said pointing with his finger at the ceiling.
"Huh?" Falco noticed something. "Kruger? Did you hurt your hand?"
Eren's hand had a cut in his palm.
"It's getting worse." Connie muttered.
Sasha nodded and gulped.
Armin glanced at Eren, who had wide eyes and his mouth open. 'What is Eren up to?'
"Yeah. It's just a scratch. Reiner, sit down."
Reiner sighed and sat down on the chair in front of Eren.
"Well, I think I'll head back." Falco said.
"No, Falco. You stay here and listen." Eren told him.
"What? B-but.." Eren held his head in his hands. 'Why? He has nothing to do with this... Just let him go...'
Petra frowned at him. "Eren..."
Ymir glanced at Candy but she was avoiding eye-contact with everyone.
"Huh?" he looked confused.
Reiner held up a hand. "Falco... Just do as he says."
"Okay." he whispered.
|~|
Lady Kiyomi was with her guards in a street and looked shortly at the citiziens. "Now then, shall we leave?" They walked away.
Levi raised an eyebrow. 'That wasn't suspicious at all.' he thought. 'She knows something. Is something bad goung to happen? It must have to do with Eren. I don't think he want only to chit-chat with Reiner.' He clenched his fists. 'Don't do anything stupid, brat.'
'I get the feeling that this woman...' Armin thought thoughtfully. 'But why would she?"
"Do you think what I am thinking?" Sasha whispered to Connie.
"Yeah.... Wait, what are we thinking?"
Sasha sighed and shook her head.
"Tell me!"
"You will see and now please hand me a sandwich."
Connie grumbled but gave it to her.
|~|
Reiner's mother greeted Annie's father. "Oh! Long time no see, Mr. Leonhart."
He was sitting in his seat, waiting for the announcement. He looked at her. "Ms. Braun... Not since your son came home, right?"
She sat down next to him and he continued to speak. "Speaking of which, I hear Hoover passed awayin bed?"
"Yes." she answered. "He never failed to say how he was of his son's sacrifice for Marley. I'm sure your daughter also..."
He cut her off. "She's not dead. Annie is alive. She promised she would come back."
"Oh, of course. Annie is still in this crystal." Sasha said. "I almost forgot."
"You're not the only one." Connie mumbled.
On a roof of a building, Marley soldiers had a good look of the stage. "To think, war will be declared in the internment zone, of all places." Magath said.
Important people of the military were sitting in their seats. "Whoa! Even General Calvi came to the zone!" Gabi said.
"The whole backbone of Marley's military is here!" Udo said. "And all these powerful families and ambassadors!"
"Not to mention every newspaper in the world that matters."
Porco, Colt, Zeke and Pieck were sitting behind Udo, Gabi and Zofia. Pieck was holding on Zofia's shoulders. "It's like were in the world's spotlight!" she said while Zofia was laughing.
"The Tyburs are powerful." Colt noted.
"Yet there Eldians, same as us." Porco replied.
Trompets were played.
"Eep!" Zofia jumped and put her hands on her ears.
"It's begun." Gabi said.
"Falco and Mr. Braun aren't back yet?" Udo asked.
"No, they have a nice talk with the suicidal bastard." Jean said sarcastically.
Eren glared at him.
A soldier came to them and turned to the Warriors. "Warriors of Marley, Commander Magath has summonded you."
'Why did the soldier hide his face?' Hange thought. 'There's no reason to do that. Unless it's an imposter and he don't want to be recognized. Could he be one of us? But I don't recognize his voice.' She glanced at Armin. 'Could it be him? His voice could change over the years, he must be 19 now. The haircolor is the same, but not the haircut. He could cut it. Hmm.... I'll observe him to be sure who could it be.'
The music was also heard in the basement where Eren, Reiner and Falco were.
"Eren... How? Why did you come here?" Reiner asked him.
"Same reason you did." he answered. "Don't you get it? Because I had no other choice."
|~|
Willy Tybur stood on the stage and bowed to the audience, who clapped and shot pictures of him.
|~|
Reiner held his head. Eren looked up. "Sounds like it started. Let's listen."
|~|
The clapping slowly died down. "Let's look back in time." Willy began. "Roughly 100 years ago, the Eldian Empire ruled the world with the Power of the Titans. From the rise of Founder Ymir until today, Titans have robbed enough lives to eradicate humanity three times over."
Behind him, it was shown how Titans were eating humans. The light went out. It was silent for a moment, then many people were standing behind him, whining, covered in blood.
"Ehm.." Sasha placed her sandwich down, not hungry anymore.
Historia frowned. 'If it's true what he's saying... then I can understand their hate towards Eldians. But these people are dead now. We're completely different people.'
The light was now red. Gabi, Udo and Falco were watching with slightly open mouths.
"Countless cultures and people have been wiped out by Titans; their histories stolen away."
Eren and Reiner were listening.
"The Eldian Empire's path of slaughter became humanity's history." Willy looked down. "And when the Eldian Empire ran out of enemies, they soon began slaughtering one another."
"What?!"
"Why would they do that? There's no reason for that. Sounds to me that their life purpose was only to kill another humans." Jean said.
Petra furrowed her eyebrows. "No wonder why they hate the Eldians so much. I would, too."
'These poor people who died..' Historia thought sadly.
Ymir saw the look on Historia's face and squezzed her shoulder lightly.
It showed Eldians fighting against each other. "The Great Titan War had begun. Families holding the eight Titans waged a bloody war." A man in an uniform stood on the stage holding a lance. "Using this to his advantage, one Marleyan saught victory. It was the hero, Helos. Thanks to his clever manipulations, the Eldian Empire was tricked into killing each other, one by one."
Helos stood with one foot on King Fritz's back, who kneeled on all fours on the ground. A member of the Tybur family stood beside Helos. "By joining hands with the Tybur family, they forced the unbeatable King Fritz to flee and retreat to the island."
"So that's why they have so much power, they're the only Eldian family who helped Marley to defeat King Fritz." Erwin noted.
Hange wrote this information down.
The audience clapped.
"However, though he fled to Paradis Island, his power still remained."Behind King Fritz Titans appeared. "Tens of millions of Titans await on the island to trample the world."
Connie gulped.
"I hope, this will never happen." Armin said.
"Yeah, all these people would die." Jean said.
"That's the reason they attacked us and wanted the Founder. Because they were afraid of that to happen." Petra concluded.
It was silent for a moment.
'If they didn't attack us, then we wouldn't probably never know the truth.... Was it in a way good they did? No, it wasn't at all. So many people died. I don't know...' Erwin thought.
Candy pressed her lips together at Armin's words. 'If you only knew...'
The audience looked scared and shocked.
"To this day, the only reason we haven't been trampled is merely a fluke. Our scholars have no other explanation. To eliminate this threat, our motherland Marley sent four Titans to the island, but they were beaten back and only the Armored Titan returned. The darkest blot on humanity's history, the Eldian Empire, is alive and well."
|~|
"You hear that, Reiner? Isn't that why you destroyed the wall? You guys were trying to save the world. Weren't you?"
'Am I mocking him?' Eren thought to himself. 'Reiner looked traumatized. I don't know how I should feel about him. Hate? Forgiveness? Guilt? I don't know.'
Reiner didn't answer him.
|~|
"You're wanted at the gate, Yeager." the unknown soldier said to Zeke.
'Now, they're being separated. Something is definetly going on there.' Levi thought with narrowed eyes.
Armin noticed it, too.
"Fine." he answered and walked away.
"This way, you two."
They walked in a different direction.
Pieck looked at the back of the sldiers head. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. Where are you from?"
"Out west by Lakua, but I was called here. I didn't come to chitchat with Eldians." the soldier answered.
"That's a shame. I kinda fancy your beard."
Soldiers who were walking by recognized Pieck.
"Oh!"
"It's Pieck!"
Her eyes widened. "The Panzer Unit! Thanks for all your hard work!" She ran towards them and threw her arms around one soldier's neck.
"W-We should be thanking you." One of them said.
"You're in a good mood today." Another one said.
"What are you doing? Let's go." the unknown soldier said to her.
"What was that?" Porco asked her, when she joined them again.
"Since they ride the Cart Titan into war and all, it's good if we build a bond." she answered smiling.
He looked at them. They looked at the man, who Pieck hugged, with jealousy.
"Aww, poor guy." Sasha giggled.
"Didn't you just put a rift in that bond?"
|~|
"Anything?" Magath asked.
"Nothing strange as of yet."
"I don't care how small it seems. Report everything to me."
'Is he expecting something to happen?' Armin thought. 'With all these important people there, the chance something happens is very high. I only hope Eren isn't responsible for this.'
"Yes, sir."
|~|
The unknown soldier opened a door to a meeting room. "In here. Enter."
Porco and Pieck walked in.
"Where's Commander Magath?" Porco asked.
Pieck turned around and saw that the soldier had a knife. Her eyes widened. "Porco!"
The soldier cut a rope by the door and both of them fell down a hole. Both of them screamed.
"A trap?!"
"Obviously, someone want them out of the way." Ymir said.
"But for what?" Connie asked.
"Who knows? We must keep watching, right Candy?"
She looked at her surprised, she didn't expect to be spoken to. But then she smiled at her. "You're right, Ymir."
Ymir looked at Connie with a look that said 'See?'.
Hange meanwhile noticed the eyes of the soldier. 'It can't be Armin. He has blue eyes. This soldier has dark eyes. Then who is this person? Do we know him? Or is it someone we will meet in the future?'
|~|
'What's going on here?' Falco thought. 'Why is Vice Chief Braun so scared? Isn't Kruger an old friend of his?' His eyes widened in realization. 'Old friend? Like, how how many years ago? If it's more than four, they met on Paradis Island!'
"The kid is smart."
"Hopefully, he doesn't get hurt." Historia said.
He looked at Eren. 'No, there's no way! Because that means...' He thought back when Reiner saw him the first time, shock was written on his face. "Impossible..."
Falco looked at Reiner. 'Could it be..?!'
|~|
Back at the stage Willy was still explaining the history. He stood between Helos and Lord Tybur. "Now then, the story I've told this far is common knowledge. However, the truth is somewhat different."
"Huh?"
"That's not true?"
"But what is the truth then?"
Hange held her pen ready to write down.
'I'm curious what part of the history was wrong.' Armin thought.
"In passing down the War Hammer Titan, the Tybur family inherited its memories."
|~|
Eren and Reiner looked up and listened to what Willy was saying.
|~|
"I will now reveal the truths we learned for the first time ever."
A Marley soldier whispered something to the General.
"Some 100 years ago, it was neither Helos nor the Tyburs who ended the Great Titan War. The one who ended the fighting and saved the world.... was King Fritz."
"What?"
"He saved the world?"
"But why would it says otherwise?"
"I'm so confused."
'I have a feeling that King Fritz wanted someone else as the hero.' Erwin thought. 'But why would he want that?'
King Fritz stood behind him.
"He anguished over the Eldian Empire's vicious history, tired from the endless infighting, and above all, he was pained by the endless oppression of Marley."
Tybur and King Fritz shook hands.
"When he inherited the Founding Titan, he schemed with the Tybur family and they fabricated a Marleyan hero. His name: Helos. The king moved as many Eldians as he could to the island and closed the gates. He claimed that if they were threatened, thousands of Titans would be unleashed as revenge. However, this was never his intention."
"He made this vow, right?" Connie asked.
Hange nodded. "Yes. And his descendants who inherited the Founding Titan are bonded to the vow. And now, I have the feeling or to say I know that he also did this so his descendants wouldn't let all these Colossal Titans loose."
'We can only hope it remains that way. We would have a big problem if the Titans would begin to walk.' Levi thought.
A picture was shown of a baby who was sleeping in King Fritz's arms.
"King Fritz made a vow renouncing war so his ideology would be inherited. Because of this, Karl Fritz's ideology has been passed down, and the Titans have never left the island to attack."
Hange nodded in agreement.
King Fritz stood now beside Willy.
"That is, the one keeping our world safe is the 'vile' King of the walls... Karl Fritz, and his desire for peace."
The audience watched with sligjtly open mouths.
"Peace was all he wanted. But if Marley grew strong and came to take the Founding Titan or his life, he would accept it."
"I still can't believe he would let us all die." Jean said.
"He thought it was the right thing to do, after this terrible war." Armin said.
"Yeah, but we have to pay fo that."
The wall was shown with a hole in it.
"He believed the sins of the Eldians were so grave, they could never be atoned for. 'However, until that of retribution, let me savor a brief paradise, free of conflict within the walls. That is all I ask of you.' That was his last request."
Gabi gasped shocked.
The audience were whispering to each other.
"What does this mean?"
"If this is true..."
"Marley and Tyburs saving the world was made up by King Fritz?"
"Yes." Willy continued. "In exchange for our safety, the Tybur family joined hands with Karl Fritz and sold out the Eldians to Marley. We're no more than traitors lavishing in crookedly earned honor. The reason that I stand here and willingly part with this sham is because I know our world is in great peril."
"Huh? I thought the King was good? I don't know why they should be in danger." Connie said confused.
"When they know about me and that I have the Founding Titan, they probably think I would let the Titans loose." Eren said.
"But you wouldn't do such a thing." Mikasa pointed out.
"No, but they think that."
|~|
Someone was running to Magath. "Commander!"
He turned around.
"The warriors and soldiers sent to get them are missing."
"Mobilize a search team!" Magath ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
"Has it began?" he asked himself.
'So they expected something to happen.' Levi thought. 'It wouldn't be a surprise when Eren is the reason for the trap.'
|~|
Down the hole, the wounds of Porco and Pieck were healing. "Damn, that hurt! Shit! What the hell is this?" Porco asked.
"Must be a pit to restrain Warriors. It's a classic trap.... too cramped for one of us to transform, let alone two."
Hange wrote it quickly down and then began sketching. "Now we have a good opportunity to catch Titan-shifters. And even if they transform they can't escape! I wonder why we didn't think of that!" She grinned madly. Then she rembered something. 'Wait, we did think of something like that. When we did the experiments on Eren and he failed to transform... Ughh.... I can't believe we forgot about that...'
"Yeah, we'd be squashed to death. Why'd that scrawny soldier even do it?"
"I don't know, but I feel like I've seen them before." Pieck said.
|~|
Willy looked at his family, who stood backstage and watched him. 'Stand there and watch. This is my atonement!'
Soldier started playing drums.
"Using the power of the Founding Titan, Karl Fritz erected three walls."
Behind him were shadows of Titans with linked arms.
Hange's eyes widened.
"So, that's how they are standing in tje walls! I wanted to know this since Season 2!"
Levi held her mouth shut with an annoyed look on his face. "Don't yell so loud, Four-Eyes." He took his hand away.
Hange pouted.
Candy had watched them in amusement. 'Good old, Hange. Don't ever change.' She glanced at Levi. 'Honestly,, you like how Hange is acting sometimes, you just don't want to admit it.'
"These walls, formed by tens of milions of Colossal Titans, have served as a shield and spear, safeguarding peace."
Soldiers were running down the street.
"But recently, an uprising took place on Paradis Island. King Fritz's peace was undermined by a person who stole the Founding Titan."
The shadow of Eren's Titan was shown, it looked evil.
"They let me look like a demon or something." Eren said.
"They think of you as a demon, Eren." Jean said glancing at him.
"Yeah, you're right."
"Once again, there's a threat to our world... a rebel against peace."
|~|
Eren let his leg regenerate. Falco watched with wide eyes. He was shocked.
They tensed.
'Stupid thing Number one he did.' Levi thought.
'Why did I do that in front of Falco? That boy has no idea what he has gotten himslef into.' Eren thought.
|~|
"His name: Eren Yeager!"
"Now the whole world, knows your name."
"Well, shit."
"Not, good.."
"Things couldn't get much worse." Connie said.
'You jinxed it, Connie.' Candy thought.
|~|
"You tricked me..." Falco said to Eren. "And here I respected you... But you tricked me!"
Historia frowned. "Oh, no... how he must feel right now..."
"Betrayed? Guilty? Sad? Angry? Should I continue?" Ymir asked.
"No. Not necessary."
Eren clenched his fists. 'I'm sorry, Falco.'
"I'm sorry, Falco." Eren apologized. "I needed your help."
"The letters! The ones you had me send! What were they?!"
Reiner's eyes widened, when he rembered meeting Falco at the gate and he said to him he fogot something at HQ.
"They didn't reach my family, but they did reach my comrades."
Falco took a step back and he slided to the ground, he had tears in his eyes. "No way! You're kidding!"
"Y-Your comrades?" Reiner stuttered.
'Then we must be near.' Armin thought. 'We are probably involved in trapping the Warriors.'
|~|
At the stage Willy continued speaking.
"The threat of Paradis Island is the stampede of milions of Colossal Titans... a rumbling. As I mentioned, the vow renouncing war prevents the King's bloodline from fully using the Founding Titan. But currently, this 'Eren Yeager' who possesses the Founding Titan may begin this rumbling at any moment."
"I wouldn't do that! I wouldn't do such a terrible thing! I'm not a monster!" Eren held his head in his hands.
"Eren..."
"I wouldn't do it! I wouldn't do it!" He had angry tears in his eyes.
Mikasa placed a hand on his shoulder. "Eren... Please, calm down. We know you wouldn't do it." she said softly.
"Yeah, but..."
"No buts, pull yourself together, Eren." Jean said. "Are you really let these words get to you? You're Eren Yeager, damn it! We know how you really are, we will show them that you're not dangerous!"
Eren looked at him for a moment, then nodded. He took the handkerchief from Armin and wiped his tears away. "Yeah, we will show them that I'm not dangerous."
Nobody noticed the sad look on Candy's face.
Colossal Titans were shown walking across the earth.
"Once the rumbling is set into motion, there is nothing we can do. Nothing but tremble at the footsteps of doom, fleeing in vain. All lands and civilizations will be trampled, literally razed to the ground."
Silence.
They couldn't imagine how awful that would be. That would be the end of the world and nobody could stop it.
|~|
"That's right." Eren said. "It's like Willy says.... I'm the bad guy. I might just destroy the world."
They tensed.
"Shit.."
"Please, no.."
"What happened to me?" Eren whispered in shock.
He looked to the side. "But to me, you were the bad guys, too. That day, when the wall was destroyed and Titans invaded my hometown, I watched my mom get eaten."
Falco looked at him with wide eyes at his words.
"I couldn't understand." Eren continued. "Why, Reiner? Why was my mom eaten by a Titan?"
"Because... on that day, we broke the wall." he answered.
"Why did ypu break the wall?"
"To sneak in during the chaos and see how the King would react."
"What was your mission?"
"To retake the Founding Titan and save the world."
"I see... If it was to save the world, you didn't have much choice."
Reiner looked away. It was silent for a moment.
"Back then, you told me:'I'll make you guys suffer and die in the worst way possible.' " Reiner said and looked back to Eren. "Isn't that why you came?"
"Oh, I vaguely remember saying that."
"Huh?" Reiner's eyes widened in fear.
"Just forget it. True, I saw everone on the other side of the sea as my enemy. But then, I crossed the sea, slept under the same roof as them, ate the same food.... Reiner, I'm the same as you."
A memory was shown were the Eldian soldiers were scared by a Marleyan soldier. Eren was among them.
"Of course, that was you." Armin said in ralization.
"I forgot that..."
"Yeah, me too."
"Sure, there jerks here, but good people, too." He looked at Falco, who gasped slightly. "Across the sea, within the walls... It's the same."
Another memory where Reiner walked with the kids across the pier. Eren was watching them.
'So it was him, who was watching them.' Levi thought. 'How long did he wstch them?'
"But you guys were taught everyone in the walls was a devil. You were children who knew nothing, but it was drilled into you. You were just kids. What could you even do? Right, Reiner? Hasn't that eating away at you?"
Reiner gritted his teeth and fell to his knees in front of Eren. "No, you're wrong, Eren!"
Their eyes widened, not expecting that.
'He feels terrible ehst he did... Is this why he wanted to kill himself?' Petra frowned.
Eren's hands shook. He was so confused. He didn't know what to think or to feel anymore.
A few of the others felt the same.
Falco watched with wide eyes.
"That day, when Marcel was eaten, Annie and Bertolt tried to turn back and end the mission." he sobbed. "But I... I talked them into it and made them go on! I wanted to be a hero! I wanted people's respect! It's my fault!" He looked up at Eren. "Your mom was eaten by a Titan because of me!"
|~|
Back at the stage Willy continued. "I cursed the blood I was born with. More than anyone, I wished the Eldians were wiped out."
People in the audience were whispering to each other.
|~|
"I'm sick of this.... of myself! Judt kill me!" Reiner begged to Eren.
Historis had tears in her eyes. 'Reiner..'
Ymir saw the tears and handed her a handkerchief.
"Thanks." she sniffed.
|~|
"But I do not wish to die. And that is because I was born into this world. We are people of different races and nations!"
The audience had tears in their eyes.
"However, it is time to join as one and face this dreadful enemy!"
Soldiers were gathering in an entrance of a building.
"Oh no... You must get away from there!" Sasha yelled.
"He can't hear you." Connie said.
"And? I want Eren to be safe! Are you not?!"
"Of course, I want him safe, why wpuldn't I want that?"
"Well, I -"
"Shut it, brats." Levi cut Sasha off.
They mumbled an apology and turned back to the TV.
"Lend me your strength, those of you who wish to live! Those of you who wish for a future!"
Many cameras shot pictures of Willy and the audience cheered.
|~|
Eren looked down.
|~|
"If we work together, we can overcome any obstacle in our way!"
|~|
Soldiers were running down the stairs.
Eren stood up.
"Like, I thought, I'm the same as you." he said to Reiner.
He looked up and saw Eren offering him his hand, the one who was bleeding.
"Are you letting them go?" Armin asked.
"It seems that way."
"I have a feeling, you'll have other plans." Mikasa said.
"I hope not."
"Me too."
|~|
"I want you to join me in the fight against the devils of Paradis Island!" Willy yelled.
|~|
Eren helped Reiner to his feet. "I think we were born this way."
|~|
"Here and now, as representative of the Marleyan government, I proclaim...."
|~|
Soldiers gathered around a door.
|~|
"I keep moving forward."
Reiner stared at him, terrified.
"Until, I destroy my enemies." His eye began to glow.
They tensed.
"Oh, shit.."
"Fuck, fuck..."
Eren stared wide-eyed. 'I wouldn't do it or not? Not with Falco in the room! He's just a kid!'
'Stupid thing Numer two...' Levi thought, his jaw clenched.
Soldiers were ready to storm in.
Golden sparks crackled around their hands.
Reiner's eyes widened and ran to Falco, while Eren just stood there and began to transform.
"Oh my..."
They stared shocked at the TV, not believing what Eren was doing.
The building began to explode.
"To the enemy forces of Paradis.... a declaration of war!" Willy yelled. Just as he said that, Eren came out in his Titanform behind him.
Willy stared at him shocked.
The people in the audience stared at him, a few of them were hit with a brick of the building.
The eyes of Eren's Titan were glowing green and he roared.
He grabbed Willy, destroying the stage in the progress, and he threw him in the air. Killing him in the progress, his spine broke. Blood flew everywhere in the air.
"Oh my god..."
"The people in the building... All these people... are dead." Petra said a hand covering her mouth.
Eren ran in the bathroom, locked the behind him, and vomited.
Armin and Mikasa looked worried at the door.
"Candy..." Jean whispered.
"Yeah?" she asked, she wasn't smiling.
"Tell me, is it getting worse than that?"
They all looked at her.
She looked down at her hands. "I'm not sure if you would like the answer."
Jean closed his eyes. That was an answer enough for him.
Eren came out of the bathroom, he was pale in the face. He sat down in his seat and drank from his glass. He noticed the looks he was getting and sighed. "I'm okay, guys. Please, just let us continue."
"Eren..."
"I'm okay, Mikasa."
Erwin shared a look with Levi and pressed play.
