"Got that? He's Kenny the Reaper. If he's there, he'll be our biggest obstacle. As an opponent, he's near the same threat level as me." Levi said.

"Even the weapon he has, he's deadlier. Even from the two of us combined we had a rough time avoiding him." Y/N let out as she recall how much energy she used to just avoid him. Nothing like that ever happened to Y/N.

"Then there's no way we could beat him," Sasha confessed.

"Maybe if we waited for the backup-" Connie suggested.

"Absolutely not" Mikasa and Y/N chanted at the same time.

"I know it's out of the question!" Connie panicked. Of course, if Mikasa and Y/N would come after Connie, he would be a dead man. "Eren might be eaten already if we wait till morning."

"But based on what the captain and Y/N said, he must at least have a weak point," Armin said.

'Well everyone has a weak point even me. It could be Kenny has one as well.' Y/N thought.

"Are you serious, Armin?" Jean asked.

"Yeah, he may have the training but he doesn't have our practical experience," Armin said.

"But, Levi. How do you know so little about Kenny the Reaper when you live with him for so long?"

Hange asked.

"Sorry I didn't know his full name until recently. It's Kenny Ackerman." Levi said as he then looked at Mikasa. "Are you two related?"

"Before they died, my parents told me that the Ackerman family, my dad's side, was persecuted in the cities. And because my mom's family is oriental, she didn't feel welcome anywhere either." Mikasa explained. "They were both driven away to the mountains near the outermost walls and that's where they met."

Y/N recall the time when she was hiking with her father, Grisha up to the mountain to reach Mikasa's house for the first time. Eren couldn't be brought with us since he was very heavy to bring. And it was my first time meeting Mikasa back then.

"But I never found out why the Ackermans were persecuted. I don't think it motivated by race like it was for my mother." Mikasa continued.

"Has there ever been a time when you felt like some kind of power suddenly awaken in you?" Levi asked as he glanced at Y/N then back at Mikasa. Levi had somehow awakened a power in him when Y/N was kidnapped by Berthold and Reiner.

Mikasa remembered the time when the Yeager siblings saved Mikasa. Eren was pinned by a man while Y/N was unconscious due to a person knocked her out. Mikasa on the other hand didn't know what to do with the knife in her hand but with Eren's encouragement to fight, she awakened some kind of powers inside.

"There has," Mikasa answered with full realisation. Though Y/N was confused same as the others.

"Kenny Ackerman experienced it too. One day, he suddenly felt an insane amount of power flowing through his body and he knew exactly how to use it next." Levi said then looked at the confused Y/N. "I felt that surge of power too."

"Huh? Why are you looking at me?!" Y/N asked getting a bit flustered since Levi was looking at her very seriously and intensely.

_________________________

The Levi Squad arrived at the church. Easily coming inside and found a trapdoor hidden under a red carpet.

"Found it. A hidden trapdoor." Hange said as they crouch down. "Eren and the enemy must be down there. I just hope I predicted the layout down there correctly."

"I hope the presents will be worth giving to them. We did so much to prepare these gifts for them." Y/N snickered.

"Alright. We're good to go." Armin spoke out as he finished trying up the barrels that had wheels on each side.

"Are we? And is everyone prepared to dirty their hands?" Levi paused as he peeked at the faces of his squad that was ready. "Looks that way."

"Are you okay?" Armin asked worriedly at Y/N who was in shock. Though the girl didn't answer as she was just starting in mid-air shock.

"Oi Y/N" Levi placed his hand on her shoulder letting Y/N snap out of a trance.

"Ah sorry..." Y/N apologized as she began to talk to Mikasa about something.

"What happened to her?" Armin asked. He noticed that Y/N was behaving a bit odd lately. Y/N was being too quiet that it bothered Armin.

"I don't know," Levi answered as he went away.

The Levi Squad didn't know something that Y/N discovered in her mind. At such a random time, Y/N's mind played a memory which she didn't know she experienced. The memory was about Grisha injecting some kind of fluid in her while Y/N was crying and passed out.

The question that Y/N asked in her mind. Why the heck did her father injects her with some kind of blue fluid? And why did she not remember this at all?

Levi kicked the door open showing a long wooden staircase downwards as a massive crystal room was there.

Everyone pushed down the barrels that had wooden wheels one by one. When it all fell on the crystal ground the remaining Survey Corps came in.

Sasha who had a fire arrow on her bow shot one of the barrels causing it to explode black smoke everywhere.

Levi, Mikasa and Y/N began to fly with their gears. Kenny's men were about to shoot but got distracted by the rest who were shooting out smoke signals.

"Thirty-five enemies! They're gathered behind the pillars!" Levi shouted as Y/N tsked. "Continue the plan! We'll take them all out right here!"

An explosion was made once again as the black smoke grew more. Y/N sliced two people at the same time at a second speed.

A person was about to shoot from behind Y/N but she quickly used her speed and sliced his body in half mercilessly.

Some men began to gather more around Y/N since she was all alone. There were five men around her but Y/N chuckled to herself.

"What straight idiots to go closer to their death" Y/N mumbled as she hooked her wires right straight to the man's heart killing him.

Thanks to the guidance of Armin who was shooting smoke to confuse the men's shooting Y/N killed all of them without a scratch on her face.

Y/N looked around the battlefield for the last time as she swallowed a lump on her throat.

'I'm sorry Levi... But I need to be selfish just for once.' Y/N thought as she began to flew with her gear and made her way to a huge hole that had a man guarding.

Y/N hid behind a pillar and slowly sneak from one pillar to another as she was close to the guard.

She used her left hand to cover the guard's mouth and used her right her to stop the guard's hand from shooting his gun.

The guard's muffled voices couldn't be heard by anyone of his teammates on the battlefield. The guard was surprised by Y/N's strength as she took the guard's gun and shot the guard's head.

Thanks to the battlefield's noises that were full of gunshots, slices and smoke, Y/N successfully went into the hole determined to get her brother back alone.

Y/N's eyes widened as she saw her brother chained up on a small crystal hill. He was naked and had a metal thing in his mouth. The girl saw Historia and a short fat man with her talking.

'I didn't know Eren had abs' Y/N thought and began to move.

Y/N discreetly did her best and hid to each pillar one at a time slowly. She finally reached one last pillar that was close enough to hear the conversation.

"It seems the enemy is nearby. Let's hurry, Historia." Rod said who held a syringe in his hand giving it to Historia.

'That's the same colour that Dad inject in me!' Y/N guessed. 'They're probably didn't see me yet.'

"Right," Historia answered as Eren began to mumble out loudly that saliva drools out of his gag.

'He's saying something to Historia. It looks like he wants to stop her take the injection.' Y/N guessed.

"What, Eren? Why are you glaring?" Historia asked who's eyebrows were furrowed.

'Is this Historia?'

"It's because... He has perceived his fate." Rod answered making Y/N confuse. "That the stolen power will return to where it belongs. Historia... That means inside you."

"Eh?" Historia asked as Eren began to wiggle more trying his best to get out.

"This cavern... It was built a hundred years ago by the power of a certain titan. Those three walls were built by the same power. By creating those massive walls, humanity was protected. The power of that titan reached out to touch People's hearts and alter their memory." Rod explained. "However several bloodlines were excluded from that. But their descendants and the rest of humanity... Retain no memory about the history of the world past a century ago.

Except for one, Frieda Reiss. Frieda possessed more than her power as a titan. She knew how this world came about and all the details behind it. She was 15 years old when that knowledge came to her.

Right here, 8 years ago in this very place... After she ate her uncle, my younger brother. Frieda inherited the Founding Titan and the memories of this world. As has been done for 100 years, repeated and passed through generations."

"Founding Titan? So eating relatives just to obtain the power.' Y/N thought in disgust.

"Father..." Historia said to her father as he snapped out of his staring trance from memory lane.

"Yes... If Frieda used her powers there wouldn't have been any problem. We might have eliminated the titans from this world entirely. If only his father didn't steal the powers from her." Rod said making the Yeager siblings in surprise. "Now, that power resides in Eren. However, that power, can't truly manifest unless the blood of Reiss resides in them. As long as he remains a vessel of that power... This hell will continue forever."

'I don't know what to believe anymore.' Y/N frustratedly grip her head becoming more confused.

Y/N quietly yelped. someone with a massive strength than Y/N's pinned her arm on her back.

"Shit!" Y/N mumbled as she looks at the man who pinned her. "Fuck you, Kenny Ackerman."

"Oh, that isn't nice. I think you and Levi suit each other very well." Kenny said as he pointed a gun at her head. "Slowly walk forward."

Y/N did what she had to do to not get killed by Levi's ex guardian. Eren's eyes widened as he saw Y/N with Kenny.

Kenny immediately clasped Y/N hands together with handcuffs and shoved her to the ground.

He took off Y/N's ODM gear and tossed it away.

"Fuck you" Y/N mumbled as she sat up just watching the scene unfold and trying to find a good time to break out.

"Oi oi oi!" Kenny shouted as Rod and Historia took notice of him.

"Kenny..." Rod spoke.

"So unless it's a Reiss eats Eren, they can't become a true king?" Kenny asked who was sweating pretty badly.

"That's correct," Rod answered.

"T-then... Even If I turn into a titan and eat Eren, it'll mean nothing?!" Kenny once again asked.

"What are you?-" Rod's question was cut when Kenny grabbed his collar as he raised him above and pointed a gun on his head.

"Father!" Historia yelp then she looked at Y/N for help.

Y/N replied with a shrug as she let Historia show the handcuffed hands behind her back.

'Sorry Historia. I can break these handcuffs in just a second but I'll never miss a chance for Kenny to kill Rod.' Y/N thought

"Do you think I'm lying to you or something?" Rod asked.

"Nope. I waited long for this day cuz I knew you weren't lying about the succession ritual. For crying out loud! You used me his whole time knowing full well what I was after, you sleazy playboy!" Kenny exclaimed.

"I'm grateful for you. You may have been a stray dog that my whimsical younger brother took in but-" Rod replied.

"Keep on insulting Uri and you can say goodbye to half of your head," Kenny spoke as he presses his gun furthermore on Rod's head.

"Stop it! Let my father go!" Historia finally had the balls and hugged Kenny's gun letting it point away from Rod.

"Huh? You're plain pitiful Historia. Don't you get it!" Kenny shoved her away. "This father of yours wants you to turn into a monster and make you eat Eren."

"I mean he has a very true point!" Y/N added as Kenny pointed at Eren who looked at nothing with empty eyes.

"Because that's my duty." Historia fiercely said as she stood up and looked Kenny in the eyes. "Yes... I'm going to eat Eren and bring my sister back. I'll inherit the world's history and exterminate every last titan! That's my duty!"

'Belief will always be superior. When a person believes in something they'll never stop believing about it. I don't know for Historia but... I think she believed her father's story. But... I don't know what to believe in.' Y/N thought.

"Oi oi Historia. Have you forgotten what this man did to you?" Kenny said as he took out a knife pointed it at Rod's teeth and opened it. "The only thing this man cares about is your blood. He doesn't want to become a titan himself! He's just trash that forces his brother and daughter too! That's this father of yours!"

Historia looks down slowly believing what Kenny had said about the truth. Rod held the knife and stopped it from going further down his mouth.

"His wrong, Historia. I must not become a titan myself. Do not believe... What anyone says..." Rod said.

"Oh is that right?" Kenny asked as he let go of Rod.

"Father!" Historia went up to Rod.

"Kenny you served well until now. You're free now. Go find another purpose in life... Spend the rest of your years." Rod said. Kenny had the same bored facial expression as Levi.

"That would bore me to death," Kenny said and began to go up to Eren.

"Kenny. What are you doing?" Rod asked as I stood up.

"Go ahead and turn into a titan. I won't interfere anymore. However, no head starts." Kenny said as he took off Eren's gag. Eren looked like he was lifeless but he wasn't.

'What happened to him? He looks so lifeless.' Y/N asked herself.

"You both become titans and have at it. If Historia wins, you'll have your peace. But if you lose to Eren you'll have it the same." Kenny said as he did a small slice on Eren's forehead "keep drawing breath until I run out and die. Can you even call that living?'

'He doesn't want to transform.' Y/N thought. 'They even forgot that I'm here. That's good. A free whole show just for me.'

"Historia! With this, you could become a powerful titan!" Rod went up to her daughter with the injection on his hand with a forceful look.

"Tch... What a father. My wrists are hurting at this point." Y/N said as she used all of her strength and break the handcuff's chain. "What a drag."

Y/N went up the stairs and stood next to Kenny Ackerman who was just looking at the father and daughter at the bottom.

"Oi, how did you break out of that?" Kenny calmly asks as Y/N showed her wrist.

"Well, thanks to Levi. I trained about a thousand times to perfect the breaking out of a handcuff." Y/N answered.

"Y/N Yeager?" Kenny ask.

"Yeah?"

"Take care of Levi. I'm very sure the two of you are perfect for each other. Just the way that rat was looking at you, I could tell that he treasures you so bad" Kenny looked at Y/N who was looking at him confused. "You know what I meant."

Kenny and Y/N look back and saw Historia was now holding the syringe in her hand still hesitating.

"Whoops better stay back. That includes you too." Kenny said as he used his gear and went away leaving Y/N with Eren.

Y/N didn't want to leave his brother, especially how his state looks. Y/N analysed his brother's face and he looked like he was letting himself die.

"Hurry up, Historia!" Rod yelled as he ran a bit far to avoid the titan transformation. Historia held the syringe right on her arm hesitation.

'Don't worry Historia. I won't hate you but I'll probably be upset if you eat my brother.' Y/N thought. Historic gasps as if she realized something and looked at Y/N and Eren.

"Eren why?! Why aren't you transforming?! Y/N! Why are you letting me eat your brother?!" Historia asked as Y/N replied with a shrug and a smile. "If I become a titan, you'll get eaten! At this rate..."

'Oh, dear Historia. The reason why I'm standing here doing nothing is not that I want to let you eat Eren it's because I know that you have a kind heart that can't kill a person.' Y/N thought.

Y/N looked at her brother who looked up. Eren was tearing up, his tears and blood were mixing due to the wound that Kenny made. Eren had a pitiful face plastered on him.

"Do it Historia!" Rod exclaimed. Historia felt pity for Eren.

"It shouldn't have happened... Me... My dad too.." Eren spoke out as I sigh.

'Why would dad do this? What's the reason? What is dad's goal?' Y/N theorized in her head.

"If five years ago, he hadn't done that here. Your sister... Would be able to do something right?" Eren asked as Y/N's face turned to a but guilty look for the siblings' father's doings. "But our dad stole the Power of the Titans from the rightful place. Just how many died for that?"

"Armin's grandfather... Our friends in the 104th training... Marco." Y/N recounted. "The past Levi Squad... The residents of Stohess... Those soldiers who fought after Annie... Mr Hannes."

"I can never atone for it all," Eren said vulnerably. His tears went down more as he remembered. Y/N's face filled up with pity for her brother. "It shouldn't have happened... Those days of training... I... Shouldn't have happened. So at least... Let it all end in your hands. Eat me and save humanity."

A loud slap echoed through the cavern. It was Y/N. Y/N shaped Eren's back as hard as she can that it was already imprinted on his back. Y/N sniffed as she tried to hold back her tears.

"You idiotic brat... How could you let your older sister protect you all this time and just end your life so easily." Y/N mumbled lowering her head to reduce the tears flowing.

'It's... Is it all dad's fault that Eren is like this? Dad could've just gave the burden to me and not Eren... Why?... Eren was just a child.' Y/N thought. 'If dad would just make me have the Power of The Titan, I would see my dear little brother be happy and carefree.'

"Father. Why? Why didn't the Reiss Family in that whole 100 years... Eliminate the titans and liberate humanity? All while possessing the powers the power to control all the titans." Historia asks.

"Because the first Reiss King who built these world within the walls... Wished for us to be controlled by titans." Rod explains as the siblings were dumbfounded and continued to listen. "The first King truly believed that was the only past to true peace. But I do not know why."

Rod took hold of Historia's arm tightly.
