☠︎︎✍︎

Y/N quickly ducked covering her head along with Levi as gunshots were heard. Looking past the loud noises from the gun and the others, her eyes widen upon seeing Floch right there firing.

'Floch!!' Y/N grit her teeth tightly fueling her anger. Floch was alive. How did he even survive that fall to the point of following them here?

Everyone was dumbfounded as Azumabito engineers ducked for their lives avoiding the bullets.

Y/N was annoyed to the max because of Floch at this point. Floch always believed in Eren as if he was a God and followed him like a bitch.

Well it'll all end here as the pregnant lady dashed up to him with all of her might. She raised her swords up as Floch's eyes widened in shock remembering the time he talked with Eren about Y/N.

"How about Y/N??? With her skill,s we could pass through anything with a breeze..." Floch said to his leader.

"No... Not her." Eren simply answered. At the side of Floch's gaze he could see Eren's eyes were filled with a bit of sadness.

With no hesitation Y/N plunked both of her swords from Floch's head then down to his organs. Blood sprayed everywhere. On Y/N's face and her clothes. On the floor making a pool of blood.

This was one of the most brutal murders that anyone had seen. Though for Y/N it seemed normal as she took off her blades out of Floch's skull and went away with a satisfied sigh.

Obviously with what Y/N had massacred, Floch was dead. Hange, Jean and Mikasa examined Floch's pale dead state with his pool of blood still flowing out of his body nonstop.

"No way... He held onto the boat all the way here...?" Hange spoke as Jean looked surprised at Floch's wits to even hold onto the boat for such a long and fast time.

"Hange!!" Onyakopon shouted as his tone was in a clear panic with Y/N beside him extremely annoyed. "He shot holes in the fuel tank!!"

Everyone looked at Onyakopon with horror and worry. The only thing that can save them and help them was almost useless due to time.

"We can't fly like this...!!" Onyakopon looked like he was about to cry with tears forming and a panic expression.

"No. We can still manage if we can lose them..." An engineer walked up from behind who looked a bit determined then faced his fellow engineers. "Set up to weld! Anyone free, check the engines!"

The other engineers did what was told quickly as Hange came up to the person asking. "How long will it take?!"

"...If we use tin, then... An hour...?" The engineer said feeling the absolute pressure.

"Calm down..." Levi casually said as Y/N slowly came up to him with a more panicked look than Onyakopon.

"How are you so casual?? The Rumbling is about to come-" Y/N grit her teeth whilst looking down at the ground.

Then the sudden sound of rumbling came upon them. The sound of thousands of marching humongous feet casually comes closer and closer. The thing that everyone including Y/N was terrified with shock and horror.

"Ugh..." Levi groaned in frustration hearing the death marches of the Colossus.

Reiner took a look outside as his face diverted to a more distinct horror and shock at the scene a mile away. Thousand and Thousands of Colossus Titans were wholely visible despite the distance. The Colossus trample over the mountains and trees with steam leaving before them.

"The Rumbling is here!!"

Y/N grit her teeth in frustration turning back to the men who froze in shock shouting. "Check the engines motherfuckers!! Go do it now!!! Do it quicker than a quicky! We need to start the stupid shit pronto!!!!"

With those words, the men quickly started to scramble and do work as fast as possible. Especially when there are thousands of gigantic feet ready to trample anyone and anywho that blocks their way.

"Who'll stop them?" Y/N tightened her grip. Levi stood up as both walked down to the dock. Mostly only the sounds of the marching were heard with both silents.

Y/N could only watch the catastrophe whilst Levi leaned on her for support.

"Hange!!" Armin exclaimed catching Y/N and Levi's attention to the group formed on the dock.

"I'm the one who led us here. I pressed on, even at the cost of so many lives." Hange looked rather very determined than ever. "Time to face the music."

Y/N gasped in horror as she cupped her mouth in shock. Her close friend. Is this some kind of joke? All of her dear friends slowly turned to the darkness and sacrificed their own lives.

Hange smiled facing Armin. "Armin Arlert. I hereby appoint you the fifteenth Commander of the Survey Corps."

With those words, everyone's eyes widened for another shocking reveal especially when it was Armin.

"The quality required of a Survey Corps Commander... Is the unveiling desire for a broader understanding. There are none more suited for this duty than you." Hange explained with such casualness as if they prepared for this moment. While for Armin... Well, he doesn't look prepared. "The Survey Corps is in your hands."

Everyone looked more dumbfounded than ever upon what was happening all of a sudden.

"Speech over. Bye, everybody." Hange stopped before looking back at them. "Oh, right this means Levi and Y/N report to you now. Work them to the bone for me, okay? But... Go soft on Y/N since she's pretty and is my favorite."

"Wha..." Armin was sweating heavily with the others behind him still frozen in place and also in shock.

'Well, would you look at that...' Hange thought upon seeing Levi and Y/N standing.

"... Hey, Four-eyes." Levi was greeted with sadness by his friend's decision.

Hange's eyes diverted to Y/N who has her fist tightened and looked like she was about to burst into tears. The now ex-Commander felt a bit sad and guilted seeing Y/N with that kind of expression but...

They reminded themselves that it was all for them.

"You two understand. It feels like... It's finally here, you know... My big moment." Hange patted Y/N on the shoulder. Y/N looked like she was shaking as she puffed out a sniffle.

"Big Commander moment..." Y/N choked out with a dry and bitter laugh as it then changed to her tears flowing down her cheeks. The pregnant lady tried to laugh out a joke but instead choked on her tears.

"I want to look as cool as I possibly can right now. So just let me walk away." Hange gave a gruesome and awkward smile.

Levi stood silent for a second before putting his fist on Hange's chest and saying. "Dedicate... Your heart."

Y/N did the same gesture putting her fist beside Levi's as she looked up at Hange. She gradually forced a huge smile despite streams of tears leaking which made Hange feel a bit of guilt.

Levi tugged on Y/N's hand as the couple with a saddened and pained expression walked away from their dear friend.

"Hah... That's the first time I've ever heard you say that!" Hange exclaimed. "And Y/N! Make sure to eat ice cream for our sake!"

"Hange!!" The rest exclaimed as the ex-Commander dashed and zipped right up to the lined-up Colossus Titans.

Hange zipped up using the leverage of the line that was hooked up on a building seeing the thousands of Titans.

"Ah..." Hange sighed with a smile. "Titans truly are... Magnificent..."

'Though I wish I just told Y/N what I truly feel about her...' Hange passed away the pained expression and let out a thunder spear on a Colossus.

Everyone back at the dock gazed upon the scene in shock seeing that one Colossus titan was knocked out and fell to the ground.

"First, Eren... Second, Sasha... Third, Hange... Then who's next?" Y/N's frown deepened as she leaned on Levi. Fresh tears were on her cheeks but still, it keeps flowing.

Hange tried their absolute best to kill and prevent the giant titans from reaching their comrades.

The Colossus was very close as their feet were just beside the warehouse. Everyone quickly ran up in the flying boat that is now starting well.

Everyone on the ship thought they wouldn't make it but they did. Though only one didn't make it... Hange fell to the sky and down to the sea as half of their body burnt.

"Hange!!!!" The remaining Survey Corps except for Levi screamed and cried shedding a tear.

"We're taking off! Hold on!!" Onyakopon choked as he too had shed tears for the fallen comrade.

"Goodbye, Hange," Levi muttered as he squeezed Y/N's hand reassuring her that he was there. "Just watch us."

'Thank you, Hange...' Y/N thought as she reminisce the memories of the greatest times they had. Even if it was just short moments of them theorizing about how Titans take a shit.

______________________________

"Not the time to sleep, love." Levi nudged his shoulder as Y/N woke up.

Y/N thought all of this was just a huge nightmare. But... Turns out life's a shitty piece of trash waiting for you to ruin your life at all cost.

"Listen up." Armin... Well ahem... Commander Armin who looks not very confident came up to everyone. "Let's go over the plan."

Armin first drew the figure of Eren's new form of his Founding Titan. A skeletal like big that has thrice the size of the Colossus. "First Captain Levi, Peick. Is this what the Founding titan that you saw looked like?"

"Yes... Though it's not as if I got a good look at it. It's an enormous pile of moving bones..."

"World's biggest bug should be awarded." Y/N tried to crack out a joke but was embarrassed so she tucked herself onto Levi.

"If it's like other titans, the body controlling it would be in the nape of the neck..." Peick said.

"But with what we know about the Warhammer titan, we can't be sure," Levi added.

"In other words... We don't know where Eren is." Armin answered.

"... Even if we don't we could always just blow the whole thing away. Like the way you flattened Liberio's naval port and left nothing behind..." Pick straightforwardly answered as Armin could feel the pressure. "Your colossus titan could do it."

Silence filled the flying boat.

"Well geez, Peick... No need to really rub in the fact that Armin killed people." Y/N said back defending Armin.

"What??" Pick genuinely questioned wondering what part of what she said was offensive. (Peick Intp moment right here. I know cause I'm also an Intp)

"True... That would be the most effective." Both Y/N and Mikasa's eyes slightly widened upon Armin's answers. "But only we've exhausted all possibilities of talking with Eren then... If this is the only way left to stop him.."

Mikasa looked a bit uncomfy at the thought of Eren while Y/N sighed in relief upon hearing that Armin hasn't changed.

"... Nothing wrong with having a last resort But it's Eren's controlling the Founding Titan through Zeke, right?" Levi spikes up. "Couldn't we stop the Rumbling just by killing Zeke?"

The rest looked at Levi dumbfounded while Y/N couldn't help but slip a burst of laughter.

'He just wants to kill Zeke.' Y/N internally laughed.

"You know... You might be right." Armin agreed.

"There's no proof... But that's just Hange's hypothesis. Of course, we don't know Zeke's location either..." Peick said.

"Then we'll just have to find that furry bastard inside those bones," Levi said. "And I'll... Stop... Zeke. I'll just... need a little help."

Y/N grabbed Levi's hand and caress it. of course, she doesn't need to answer cause it was completely obvious as she smiled.

"Captain... Of course... We had to kill many of our comrades to get this flying boat in the air... We can't let that slaughter... Have been in vain." Jean spoke up as Connie's eyes brightened upon his words. "This is all... To stop the Rumbling. I'll do anything it takes."

"Jean..." Reiner muttered as Connie could only hold a guilty frown.

"I... I sliced up people I knee until their familiar faces were unrecognizable. I shot and killed Samuel and Daz..." Connie said out of all of his thoughts. "... Ah while they called me a traitor... While they told me they were saving the world."

"I told a familiar dude fuck your mom and it turns out his mom left him and married another man abandoning him then I killed him," Y/N muttered but covered her face as she tried to hold her laughter.

"Hey, Reiner... You... Bertolt... Annie... It must be been awful for you." Connie faced Reiner.

"My sins... Are beyond redemption... Even if we manage to save what's left of humanity I doubt I'll ever forgive myself."

Everyone stood silent on Reiner's words as he then placed a hand on Connie's shoulder.

"But... Well... Let's at least save the rest of humanity." Reiner tried to save their hopes up.

'Reiner would've been a good partner but too bad when I got to know him... He was just too simpy.' Y/N thought frowning upon the time that Reiner started liking her.

"... Yeah Reiner. You're right. Even if we can't be redeemed." Connie forced out a small smile though he still looks lost in hope. "... We've still got to do this, I guess..."

"Redeemed?? I don't care if I don't get redeemed..." Y/N spoke up. "At least I save those innocent people who didn't wish to be born in this cruel world in the first place."

"That's right. We're the same... Reiner." Jean faced Reiner who had a surprised look. "... I never had any right to blame for anything... I became a murderer to save others..."

"Yeah..." Reiner's gaze diverted downwards to the metal floor. "Eren said the same thing to me... The night of the attack on Liberio."

'If Eren said those words... Becoming a murderer to save others... Eren is doing a far worse job on saving.' Y/N thought. 'Killing to save was always a thing that I've started to welcome cause if I don't... Then I would be a coward and die.'

"I... I feel like I kind of understand what Eren's thinking... Do you think... Eren might want us to stop him?" Reiner questioned as Y/N's eyebrows furrowed.

"... What do you mean?" Mikasa asked.

"Ah... That's just how it feels to me." Reiner answered.

"Eren wanting us to stop us... To make us the heroes? That sounds much as the truth..." Y/N placed her palm on the bottom of her chin and wondered.

"I've been wondering the same thing... Eren... Can now control the actions of every titan and Eldian. But we're still able to use the power of the titans the way we always could." Armin wondered as well.

"... Are you saying that Eren is choosing to not interfere with us?" Peick's eyes slightly widened.

"Yes... He's letting us act freely. Almost... As if he's testing us to see what we'll do." Armin answered.

"Why...? Even though we might be able to stop the rumbling?" Mikasa questioned.

"It's the same for him... It must be painful for him too... Slaughtering all of humanity... Isn't something anyone could endure." Reiner then glanced at Y/N. "Except for Y/N but... If it was me... I'd probably... Want someone else to handle the power of the Founder by now. And if that wasn't possible... I'd want it to be stopped... By someone."

"Eren... Is the type of person... Who wouldn't want anyone to experience the most shitty things this cruel world gives." Y/N said.

"... H-huh?" Mikasa gasped as suddenly everyone suddenly looked shocked.

Everyone was transported to the place. The place where the whitest sand infinitely goes. The place with the starry night and sky. And the only thing that shone in the place was the brightening and glowing white tree.

It was the paths...

"Y/N..." Levi muttered from beside her. He then quickly touched her cheeks and a surprised look arose on his face. "Marks...?"

"H-huh...?" Y/N then touched her cheeks as the texture of the marks of the after transformation of a titan shifter brushed her hands.

"... Not again...!" Jean groaned.

"What the..." Connie looked up meeting the starry night and sky.

"What... Was he eavesdropping on us?" Levi questioned.

"This son of a-... Can't he not sip on the tea for a few seconds..." Y/N tsked.

"Eren!!! Please listen to us!! You've done enough!!! I'm sure that no one is going to lay a hand on Paradis for centuries to come now!!!" Armin screamed at the top of his lungs. "That's just how much fear and destruction you've brought!! You can't still agree to a non-aggression pact and end this!! You don't have to kill anyone else!!! The island is fine now!!!"

Armin gritted his teeth upon no response. Y/N felt bad for Armin because he kept doing this. He kept on trying to make peace when Eren obviously would disagree with this.

"We were wrong!!! We're the ones who force you to this point...!!" Armin added more.

"Eren... Eren!!! We'll figure out the rest from here!!! So... You don't have to keep slaughtering people for our sake!!" Jean added as well screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Yeah... That's right!" Connie had tears flowing out of his eyes. "Eren!! I hated you over what happened to Sasha... But I know that you must have been as sad as the rest of us right!?? And yet... I never even considered what it must've been like to be in your position!!"

"I really have to do this as well..." Y/N grit her teeth as she pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance upon Peick nudging her. The preggy ex-captain then looked at the white glowing tree. "Oi you, Eren!! Stop this shit already! I'm tired and pregnant so kindly shut this shit up!!! What about those innocent kids who just want to live... They want to live this shitty life! So please!!!"

"...Eren... I... Want to share the burden of your sins with you. We're all guilty... Of the same sins. So please..." Mikasa spoke up who looked very genuine which moved Y/N's heart. "Stop avoiding us like this... Eren... Please come back to us..."
