After traveling farther ahead into the forest, you all got off and tied down your horses to the same tree before relocating to a higher position among the trees. You stared off into the distance of where the continuous canon fire was coming from while also keeping your distance from the rest of the squad. You couldn't describe what you were feeling at the moment, was it anger or frustration, or disappointment at the lengths the scouts would go to in order to get the job done? None of it sat right with you in your stomach. While standing on the edge of a branch, you couldn't help but remember the face of the Female Titan.

"What was with that thing anyways...I've never seen a Titan like that except for the Colossal Titan..." You thought while remembering how it knew to properly evade the 3D Maneuver Gear and how it protected its nape. "No ordinary Titan could possibly be sentient enough to know its own weak spot, let alone how to counter our mid-air maneuvers...No doubt about it..." You came to a conclusion while imagining the Female Titan and Eren's Titan together. "That's someone with a Titan power..." You clenched your grip around the hilt of your blade.

"That was his plan from the very start! Right?" You were brought out of your thoughts when you heard Eren's voice from behind you as you couldn't help it but tune in. "I can see why he wouldn't have told the new troops. But why wouldn't he tell you when you've all been with the Survey Corps for so long?" Eren asked in confusion as you couldn't help but wonder as well at this decision by Erwin.

"Shut up!" Oluo shouted at Eren.

"Are you saying the Commander and the Captain don't trust us?" Petra asked as she felt offended by the assumption.

"But that's what this means..." Eren said as Petra and Oluo were both beginning to get annoyed at the topic.

"Petra, rip out his teeth! Swap the front and back teeth when you shove 'em back in!" Oluo yelled while pointing his blade at Eren in annoyance.

"No, Eren's right." Eld spoke up and caught everyone's attention. "I think there was a reason the Commander couldn't trust us." Eld said as everyone was now turned towards Eld to listen closely.

"Like what?" Gunther asked as you stepped forward.

"The ranks of the Survey Corps have been breached. Someone in this branch either has the power to transform into a Titan, or they're spying to gain information on humanity in order to wipe us out." You reached a conclusion to the whole situation as Eld nodded.

"That's right. That assumption alone would give them reason for not all of us." Eld said as he had the same assumption you just made.

"A spy? Is that possible?" Gunther asked.

"At any rate, the Commander is certain. I'd imagine the only soldiers who were told of the plan were those who've stayed alive the past five years." Eld said as you glanced back at your sister who had a worried look on her face from hearing all this information.

"Back when the wall fell, it was only Sarah's first year as a scout...it makes sense she wasn't informed of this mission either..." You thought as you stared down at your father's ring that was on one of your fingers. "...if only you were here...Dad..." You thought as you clenched your fist closed and turned back around to survey the area.

"I see..." Gunther said in understanding.

"Must be. Understand, Eren? That's why." Oluo pestered Eren.

"Yeah, if that's the reason, I understand. He's assuming that five years ago, when the first wall fell, a spy infiltrated our ranks...And that's how he narrowed down the possibilities." Petra also came to an understanding of the mission.

"Then, the spy killed Sawney and Bean?" Eld asked as you went wide-eyed and remembered the hooded female you encountered that night who had ODM gear.

"Back then, the Commander asked me about that." Petra said as Sarah nodded and recalled the time.

"The Commander asked us, 'What do you see? What do you think the enemy is?' I didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it in a new light..." Sarah trailed off as she now understood the meaning behind it.

"That's what the question meant?" Eren muttered to himself.

"If we could've answered it, maybe we could've participated in this plan. I doubt that anyone could've back then, though." Eld said while contemplating how anyone would have even thought of there being a spy in the first place.

"I knew. But I didn't say anything. Do you know why?" Oluo began to speak in a high and mighty tone.

"Why?" Petra asked because she knew he wouldn't stop unless someone asked, so she did so to spare everyone else the time.

"Hah...What, you can't tell? Well, I shouldn't expect that much from the likes of you. You have yet to reach my level." Oluo said as Petra was now getting annoyed by Oluo.

"Hey, are you copying Captaini Levi again? The Captain wouldn't say anything like that." Petra tried to get Oluo to stop, and Eld spoke up to Eren.

"Do you think the Commander was wrong?" Eld asked as Eren was still uncertain of what to feel about the whole situation.

"When you first look at things, it's a terrible decision that would paint anyone as a horrible person. However, when you're wagering the lives of everyone behind the walls, all the sacrifices up to this point seem justified." Sarah spoke up as Eld continued.

"Eren, you don't know it yet, but you will soon. The reason Erwin Smith is entrusted with humanity's hope, the Survey Corps." Eld tried to speak for the Commander in an understanding way to Eren.

"Just look at how much Captain Levi trust him!" Petra made a point to how much Levi believed in Erwin's plan.

"If you live that long..." Oluo said as you got annoyed enough from him.

"Eren will probably live longer than you, Oluo, since you like to keep yammering and biting your tongue. Who knows how much blood you've lost on the way here." You spat in annoyance as he turned and glared at you.

"What was that, brat!?" Oluo was getting extremely angry at you.

"I'm saying that trash like you isn't bound to live long, so I'd suggest you shut that trap of yours before you end up dying a shitty death." You and Oluo were approaching each other with glares as Sarah and Gunther had to step in between to calm you both down.

However, just before you and Oluo could get at each other's throats, something strange had completely thrown everyone off in the forest. A horrifying screeching noise echooed throughout the entire forest, sending shivers up everyone's spines. You and everyone else raised your guards with wide-eyes as a somewhat strong breeze blew through the area you were in and a few moments later, the screams suddenly stopped as the wind died down. Your hands were trembling as the sound of your blades clattered a bit and you were completely on edge with everyone else.

"W-What the hell...?" You muttered as you were completely freaked out at how silent the forest was once again after that terrifying noise, but raised a brow when you saw blue smoke rounds rise from the forest and into the air. "Blue?" You muttered in confusion before hearing Gunther speak up.

"Looks like it's over. Back to the horses! Prepare to retreat!" Gunther gave the order as Oluo slouched his shoulders in laziness.

"You heard the man...Let's go see what the bastard inside looks like." Oluo said as you all began prepping yourselves and your gear to head back to your horses.

"Will we really find out who it is?" Eren asked as he was checking his gas tanks.

"It's thanks to you." Petra spoke up as Eren turned towards her in confusion.

"I didn't really do anything." Eren commented on how useless he was during the expedition.

"You had faith in us. This is the  result of your choice to trust us back then. Making the right choice isn't easy." Petra said as Eren was surprised to hear how much she was praising him.

"Hey, don't spoil him, Petra...What did he do, anyway? He was pathetic. He just kept whining. Well, coming back alive on your first excursion is pretty good. But it doesn't count until the mission's over." Oluo gave a small amount of praise before looking down condescendingly at him once more. "Litsen, kiddo, the expedition lasts until you're at home in bed..." Oluo began pestering him.

"Jeez, I know that!" Eren said as he sighed at feeling treated so immaturely as you all stood up set out ahead to return to your horses, flying through the air using your gear.

"Oluo! Petra! You guys pissed your pants and cried on your first mission. You're all grown up now!" Eld suddenly yelled while staring back at them as Petra screamed in embarrassment while Eren had an absolutely shocked look on his face.

"Don't say that! What if he stops respecting me!?" Petra yellled as Eren turned to her in shock of hearing that it was true.

"It sure is. And I didn't, by the way, Eren." Eld said as he covered his own skin while Oluo also had an outburst.

"Idiot! I've killed more of them than you! More of them than you, idiot!" Oluo was trying to mock Eld.

"Kill count isn't all that makes a soldier." Eld spat back at Oluo.

"Shut up, idiot!" Oluo screamed in annoyance.

"Petra...Does that mean you sprayed it everywhere while in mid-air?" Eren asked an embarrassing question while you gave a questioning look at Sarah.

"Don't tell me..." You spoke as your sister grew red in the face and glared at you.

"I didn't! If I did, Dad would've told you and Mom when it happened!" Sarah screamed as she sped ahead to avoid your questioning gaze.

"Shut up! Do you think you're on a picnic? We're outside the walls!" Gunther scolded everyone while turning back ahead. "I didn't piss my pants, either, Eren." He added at the end to try and cover for himself.

While flying through the trees and heading back to your horses, Gunther who was leading the pack, saw a green smoke flare get fired nearby and assumed that it was the signal from Captain Levi to let him know their position. Stopping atop a branch and loading a green smoke round in his pistol, Gunther fired one of his own smoke rounds in the air before you all continued ahead as planned.  After continuing ahead for a few minutes, another scout that everyone assumed was Captain Levi with his hood up, joined just a few feet away from you all. Taking a glance at him, you found it strange that he wasn't joining you all and leading the pack instead, and had his hood up when he previously never wore it the entire time he rode his horse or when he left you all. Focusing your vision, for a mere moment, you saw something that completely shocked you, as a lock of gold hair had shaken out of the hood just briefly.

"Oh no!" You thought as Gunther also felt a strange feeling and looked towards the hooded person.

"Captain Levi?" Gunther muttered while staring at them before confirming to himself that it wasn't him. "No, it's not! Who are you!?" Gunther asked before growing wide-eyes when he saw the hooded assailant suddenly change course and fly right towards him with their blades.

"RRRAAAHHHH!!!!!" Flying at full speed, you barely managed to get in between Gunther and the assailant's blades. 

Sarah had wide-eyes as she watched you got cut through your upper right arm, while the same blade that cut through you, had slit Gunther's throat, making your attempt to save him a failure. Flying pass you and Gunther while pulling their blades out, the assailant turned back around to give chase while you fell from the air and Gunther crashed against a tree, still hanging by his anchors.

"N-No..." You muttered while falling as Sarah flew at full speed and caught you in her arms as your blood quickly covered her clothes and a part of her face.

"Y/N! Are you okay!? Y/N!" Sarah screamed with worry as your eyes remained closed and your wound continued to bleed.

"G-Gunther!" Eren yelled with shock and fear. "What? Why? Gunther!" He tried going down to help, but was stunned when he saw the lifeless look in Gunther's eyes as he hung upside down by his gear.

"Eren! Don't stop!" Oluo flew by and grabbed Eren as you all continued full speed ahead. "Onward!" He yelled while throwing Eren ahead of him as the young Titan continued to fly ahead while looking back in despair.

"But Gunther...!" Eren yelled in desperation, but gasped when he saw their enemy suddenly fly back into view, chasing right behind them.

"Who's there?!" Petra asked while turning back to look while her gear still propelled her forward.

"Protect Eren!" Eld yelled as he turned ahead at Sarah who was carrying you. "How bad is it!?" Eld asked as tears were streaming down Sarah's face while she used one hand to try and stop the bleeding.

"It won't stop...!" Sarah was beginning to freak out and gasped when you opened your eyes slowly. "Y/N!" She yelled with worry.

"Sarah...I-I'm...fine--Ngh!" You spoke in a weak tone before flinching in pain and using your good arm to grab the wound.

"Damn it, what do we do!? Eld, where should we go!?" Oluo screamed for directions.

"There isn't time to reach the horses! Head for HQ, as fast as you can!" Eld yelled to you all as you ripped your cloak with your teeth before tying it around your arm as you groaned in pain.

"I can move like this...!" You said as Sarah protested you trying to move, but you pushed off of her and fell before spinning mid-air and using only one trigger, flying and joining the group in flee as you all stared back in shock of your pursuer.

"Is it from the Female Titan? Or is there more than one?" Oluo tried understanding why there was someone after them as Petra glared at the chaser and flew backwards.

"Damn you...How dare you!? Come at me! I'll defeat you, even if it kills me!" Petra screamed in rage as Eren was shocked by hearing the assumptions.

"The Female Titan!? Impossible...why? Didn't we catch it!?" Eren turned around to look as you all watched the pursuer suddenly dive behind a large tree and disappear from sight.

"Don't tell me..." You muttered in despair as you didn't want to see your worst fear come to light.

A blinding flash of light struck down just behind you and the rest of the squad as powerful winds blew through the area. Sparks surged through the air along with a hot steam as you were wide-eyed and ground your teeth together when you saw those same blue orbs shine through the shadows of the tree.

"I knew it...It's coming! The Female Titan!" Eld called out as the Female Titan was once again in pursuit of you and your squad once more, sprinting at full speed.

"Damn you...How dare you! This time, I will defeat it!" Eren yelled while turning back and raising his hand up to his mouth.

"No!" Eld screamed back at Eren as the young shifter couldn't believe what the order he was given. "The four of us will kill the Female Titan. You and Y/N will continue to head straight for HQ at top speed!" He ordered as you furrowed your brow at this.

"No, I can still help..." You groaned while trying to raise your right arm, as it barely lifted at all.

"No! You're too hurt to even stay awake! You'll do as your told, understood!?" Sarah yelled as you gritted your teeth in frustration over your own weakness.

"I'll fight, too!" Eren protested against the order.

"NO! This is the best move...! Your power is too risky!" Eld explained to Eren as Oluo glared at the young boy.

"What? Do you doubt us?" Oluo asked in annoyance.

"Do you, Eren? Do you find it that hard to trust us?" Petra asked as once more Eren was filled with conflicting feelings on what to do in the situation, but lowered his hand before turning back ahead.

"Let's go, Y/N..." Eren muttered as you stared at him before giving up on fighting your superiors as the two of you sped off at top speed. "I believe my squad will be victorious. Good luck!" Eren yelled while the two of you sped off ahead while Sarah and the rest of the squad grinned while turning back to face their enemy.

You and Eren both turned back in worry while Eld led the squad and the four of them began to swarm the Female Titan. Eld screamed while raising his blades above his head going in for an attack as the Female Titan reached out her hand to grab him, but he suddenly flew back as the gas from his gear created a smoke screen. Swiping the smoke away, two anchors lodged into the Female's face as the beast went wide-eyed while watching Petra and Oluo fly towards her and shred her eyes out with their blades, blinding her. The Female Titan stopped in its tracks and tried to retreat, but lost balance when her legs suddenly gave out as Sarah had gone underneath during the first attack and cut the tendons behind the Titan's knees. The giant fell back onto her rear and back up until its back was against a tree before forcing itself up with whatever strength she had left in her legs while using one hand to cover the nape of her neck.

"We took its sight. For at least a minute, it'll be in total darkness!" Eld thought as tightened his grip on his blades.

"Kill it during this time!" Petra narrowed her sights on the Titan.

"Screw capturing it..." Oluo gave up on trying to capture the person inside the Titan.

"Kill it now!" Eld grit his teeth as he began to move in.

"Die here without honor!" Petra thought with rage.

"Make that bitch of a Titan pay!" Oluo grit his teeth.

"This is for all our comrades you've murdered!" Sarah thought while reeling her blades back behind her as the four of them swarmed the Female Titan.

"We won't let your eyes regenerate!" Eld thought as he looked to his comrades and signaled to them to target her arm muscles that were defending the Titan's nape.

Oluo and Petra flew up in sync before dropping down and slicing a chunk of out of the muscles that were located near the upper chest of the Titan. Watching and examining your sister closely in awe, Sarah flew in and spun around in circles before slicing a huge piece of one end before flipping around and doing the same to the other as she cut pieces out of the underarm of the Female Titan. 

"We'll shear off so much muscles around your shoulders, you won't be able to keep your arms up!" Eld thought while planting his feet against a tree before launching off it and flying toowards her, cutting off a chunk of flesh as well.

One after another, Levi squad continued their charge and sheared off more and more muscles from the Female Titan's upper arms as blood sprayed through the air and they continued their relentless assault. After Petra and Oluo tag teamed the beast and cut off a few of the muscles on the triceps of the Female, Sarah spun around like a wheel and dragged her blades all across the Titan's bicep muscle before doing the same to the other arm. After leaping off the arms and turning back to see the damage, the four soldiers watched as the Female Titan's arms drooped down from their position and fall limp, leaving the nape of the Titan exposed.

"They're down! Now the neck!" Eld yelled as they all swapped to fresh blades as he was the first to charge for the final strike. "Shear off the muscles that support the neck!" He yelled while drawing his fresh blades.

"And we can strike its weak point!" Petra yelled while adjusting her sights to target the neck and upper shoulder muscles that held the neck up.

"Amazing..." You muttered in shock of how well their team work and coordinated attacks were, but gasped when you noticed something strange. "Wait...what's going on...?" You thought as you noticed steam only rising from one part of the Female Titan, its right eye. "It can't be...! Eren!" You yelled with a desperate look as Eren noticed how scared your face was.

"What's wrong? Why are you--!" Eren cut himself off when he remembered the lines that were told to him by Captain Levi.

"I don't know...I never have. I can believe in my own abilities or the choices of companions I trust. But no one knows how it will turn out." Those same lines echoed in Eren's head as you two both turned around sped back towards your comrades.

"SARAH!!!!" You screamed at the top of your lungs as Sarah heard your voice and planted herself against a tree before turning towards your direction.

"Huh? Y/N?" Sarah thought in confusion when she saw you hurrying back. "What are you doing!? Turn back and--!" She was cut off when you called out once more.

"RUN!!!!" Your cries echoed through the forest as she had a scared look while turning back toward her comrades as Eld charged forward.

"STRIKE THE NECK, NOW--!" Eld screamed as he near the Titan, but was instantly silenced forever when the Female Titan's right eye opened and she turned her head to bite Eld as blood spewed into the air as everyone watched in shock and horror.

"ELD!" Petra screamed in horror as the Female Titan bit down harder and cut him in half, sending his legs to the ground before spitting him out like a bad meal.

"What...?" Sarah was in disbelief as she found herself frozen and numb from seeing what happened.

"H-How?!" Petra thought in shock as she began to retreat to a safe distance as she stared back at the Titan. "It can't possibly see! It hasn't even been thirty seconds...!" She gasped and grew a horrified set of eyes as she noticed the single regenerated eye on the Titan. "Only one eye? It prioritized one eye to accelerate the healing...Is that even possible?!" She couldn't believe what she was seeing as the Female Titan suddenly bolted towards her with limp arms at full speed.

"PETRA!" Sarah gasped in shock as she summoned all her strength and pushed off the tree to try and save her friend.

"Petra! We need to regroup!" Oluo cried out in despair as the Female Titan made her move and lunged forward towards her. "PETRA, NOW!!!" He screamed in horror as Petra cried out in terror before she was brutally crushed against a tree by the Female Titan's foot.

"PETRA!!!!!" Sarah cried tears as you and Eren yelled in despair while trying to hurry back to help.

"No..." Oluo was grieving and completely saddened before his rage bubbled up from within and he glared with pure hatred toward the Female Titan as Sarah turned to him.

"Oluo, no! DON'T DO IT!" Sarah cried out as she tried to race towards him now as Oluo latched onto the back of the Female.

"Hey..." Oluo muttered before raising his blades and dashing full speed towards her nape. "DIE--!" His war cry was suddenly toned down by the sound of his blades shattering as the moment he made contact with her nape, the flesh around the Female Titan's weak point suddenly crystalized and hardened into a blue crystal as he was wide-eyed in shock. "How...? My blades can't pierce it...?" He tried to understand what had just happened.

"STOP IT!!!!!!" Sarah was almost to Oluo, but was too late when the Female Titan slammed her leg into Oluo's back.

Oluo spat blood from all his organs being suddenly exploded as he died from the impact, and his projectile body was launched towards your sister as she screamed when he slammed against her and their two bodies were sent flying against a tree. Sarah spat up blood as the red liquid poured from her nose and she was knocked unconscious. You yelled as you sped up and landed on the branch before running over to your sister.

"OLUO! SARAH!!" You yelled in horror as you knelt down grabbed both of them in your hands. "HEY!!! WAKE UP!! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO BE JOKING AROUND!!!" You desperately shook them as a shockwave shook the trees in the area from the Female Landing a few meters away from you. "SARAH!! SARAH!!" You shook her around before turning back to Oluo. "HEY, ASSHOLE!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!? AREN'T YOU GONNA TRY AND KICK MY ASS LATER FOR TALKING BACK TO YOU!? WAKE UP!! WAKE UP, YOU TWO!!" Tears fell from your face as you cried while holding them in your arms.

Eren had stopped his momentum as he stared at the horrible situation his comrades were all in. Eld was bitten in half, Petra had been crushed into a bloody mess, and Oluo was kicked and nearly exploded while unintentionally injuring and knocking out your sister. You cried as you held her in your arms and Eren couldn't was beginning to lose sight of everything. Rage was beginning to swell, emotions ran rampant in his heart he saw you turn towards him with tears covering your eyes. When Eren turned his gaze towards the Female Titan, only one thing came to mind.

"I..." Eren's mind filled with the image of Eld and Petra's bodies. "I will..." He then saw Oluo's dead body lay atop Sarah who was severely injured.

"Eren..." You muttered as you glared at the Titan in rage, not giving a damn anymore about any mission. "GET HER!" You pleaded to Eren.

"I'LL KILL IT!" Eren screamed in anger as he flew forward while biting down on his hand and inflicting the wound he needed.

In an instant, the entire area was blinded by a flash of light as hot winds blew in all directions and you watched as those same green eyes of rage that appeared in Trost, emerged once more as Eren roared while landing and sliding against the ground on his feet. Eren's screams in his Titan form echoed throughout the entire forest as the earth trembled with each thunderous footstep he took while running towards his enemy. You watched as he reeled his fist back with a powerful uppercut, but as he swung, the female instantly got up off the ground and back stepped. Following the dodge, she charged back forward with limp arms and kicked Eren in the gut as he spat up while sliding across the ground, but regained himself as he pushed her off and tried punching her again, barely missing as the Female backed off and crashed her back against a tree. Eren's Titan huffed heavy and angry breaths as he stood in a firm fighting stance while the Female walked to the side a bit and stood off against him with a contemplating look while steam was beginning to emit from all her previous wounds.

"EREN! SHE'S BEGINNING TO HEAL! STOP HER!" You yelled from the tree you were on.

Eren roared as he made his move, sending his right fist towards her multiple times as the Female stopped healing to refocus on the battle, dodging all his attacks. Firing a left cross towards the Female, Eren made her fall back to the ground and roll before she used the momentum to turn around and begin running away as Eren chased after her with a crazed face. You stood up from your tree and stared down at your unconscious sister who was now laid down on her back clenched your fists tightly and closed your eyes.

"I'm so sorry..." You muttered while thunderous punches and stomps echoed through the area and you turned away to fly off to follow after Eren and the Female Titan, however not noticing another scout suddenly land on the branch and stand next to Sarah.

"..." The scout leaned down and placed a hand on her neck to feel for a pulse as Sarah suddenly began to try and open her eyes.

"C-..." Sarah spoke weakly as she could barely make out any figures, but as light barely filled her vision and colors slowly came back, she saw who stood above her. "Captain..." Was all she could finish with before falling back unconscious as Captain Levi draped her cloak over her while using a white cloth to wipe the blood off her face and set it aside as he turned his head towards the thunderous noises coming from the forest.

Eren roared once more as you landed against a tree and watched him push the Female Titan back as he tried landing multiple blows on her with greats speeds, but she continued to read and dodge all his attacks. However, even though she was able to dodge them, she was only barely able to before she reached an unknown limit and lost her balance from being pushed so hard and fell to the ground on her back as Eren got on top of her and pushed her back down by the shoulders. He screamed with all his rage as he reeled back his left fist to strike a deadly blow.

"I made the wrong choice..." Eren thought as his mind flashed back to when they were being chased by the Female while heading back to their horses. "I wanted to believe in my companions...Because of that, everyone died!" His Titan roared while he threw his fist down, and missed due to the Female moving her head as blood and bone exploded from Eren's arm and his left hand was left unusable for the time as he leaned back up and glared at the Female below him. "If I had believed in myself from the start and fought...If I'd only killed it at the beginning!" Eren was frustrated beyond belief at himself as he roared and sent his right fists down, but the results were the same as she dodged again and Eren roared while leaning back up and holding his damaged and disabled arms that were spewing steam from their wounds as the raging Titan above stared down at the cautious Titan who was pinned and using this time to begin healing. "Back then, if I'd turned into a Titan..." He thought while remembering how you and everyone in the squad got hurt and died for his sake. "No...If I'd fought...even before that..." He remembered the first instance he'd seen the Female Titan. "Captain Levi and Y/N were there, too...We would have won. Maybe we could've captured it." He thought as he remembered the words that were spoken to him once more.

"You aren't wrong. If you want to, do it." Levi's words echoed through his head and then remembered the memory of you disobeying them and saving the scout who was going to get crushed as they yelled at you in confusion of your actions.

"I'll do what I'll regret the least." Your words struck a chord in Eren's heart. "I don't care what you say...I don't care how much experience you have over me...I've seen too much death already to let another human die to those things." Eren's eyes were trembling from the rage that was building inside of him.

"I made a choice. And it killed almost everyone." Eren thought as he remembered the image of Oluo's body laying atop Sarah's unconscious one. "It's my fault they got hurt and died..." He trailed off as he glared back the Female below him as his rage was beginning to boil over. "But despite all that...IT'S STILL YOUR FAULT!!" He was losing control as he began to scream and roar in the Female Titan's face who moved her face away in reaction before he leaned back up and they had a stare down while their wounds were all almost finished healing. "I'll tear you apart...Once my hand heals, I'll rip you apart...!" Eren's hands were beginning to regain movement. "Tear you to shreds..." His face and body began to tremble as you were wide-eyed from what you were seeing. "RIP YOU INTO TINY PIECES..." You felt fear suddenly fill your heart as you saw the crazed and wild looking face he was making with his Titan. "AND EAT YOU!" His eyes rolled back completely as if he'd lost all semblance of himself while he smiled insanely inside his Titan.

Opening her healed left eye, the Female's wounds had all healed and she grabbed Eren's right arm with her left hand before twisting her body and shrimping out of the mount to break free as she pushed off the ground and was distanced a bit from him. Eren used his free hand to try and grab her, but she was able to turn her onto her knees and kicked him away, sending him flying while groaning strange noises as he crashed into the tree you were stood on.

"Eren!" You yelled with worry before gasping at how he was suddenly gone as fast as he got there.

Turning her gaze back to see how he was, the Female Titan was shocked when she saw Eren throw an upper cut towards her as the distance between them was suddenly closed in an instant. Eren roared as his upper cut barely grazed the Female's face, cutting her and sending a small spew of blood into the air as he used his rear hand threw his whole body at her. Using the falling momentum she had, the Female rolled to dodge the attack as Eren groaned while spinning to the ground uncontrollably as the two of them slid back to their feet and glared at each other. Being shocked by how fast he was approaching her, the Female fell back onto her rear end in shock as Eren stood above her letting out his loudest roar that made you cover your ears as his eyes shined a rage green color. The Female Titan was beyond shocked and worried at how relentless the Titan before her was being, and barely had time to get up and dodge Eren's power punch that dug a trench when it struck the earth before the two were at it once more. Standing in a defensive stance, the Female continued to dodge Eren's telegraphed punches one after the other as you flew over head to try and find an opening to try and help Eren.

"Damn it! They're not leaving any room for openings. The Female's got her guard up completely. What kind of fighter are they!?" You thought in frustration before growing wide-eyed at what came next.

Eren let out another cry of rage as the Female seemed to have had enough of the farce she was dealing with as the flesh on her left fists to the top of her forearm completely crystalized and hardened while she sent a deadly punch across Eren's jaw. You were in shock as you saw Eren's lower jaw get completely vaporized and blood spewed in the air, but the Female also grew a shocked look when Eren grinded his teeth across her crystalized arm as sparks flew and he sent a powerful uppercut that hit her arm guarding her stomach. The force of the punch however proved more that she could handle as she still spat up as you were jaw-dropped when you saw Eren sending her flying up to your level. You and the Female both stared at each other eye to eye as she opened her mouth and you gasped when you saw a pleading look glint in her eye and she reached out for you before falling back to the earth and crashing against a tree. She trembled in pain as Eren let out a gurgled roar with his tongue hangin out from his missing mouth and he charged towards her as the Female Titan barely forced herself up and pushed off the tree as Eren's knee crashed into it. He leaned against the tree in exhaustion as he let out heavy breaths that hitched every few moments as the Female Titan was beginning to run away, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around and Eren pushed himself off the tree as you watched the two Titans stare down one another for what you thought was the climax of the fight. Eren weakly growled while raising a shaky guard before you and him grew shocked eyes as the Female took one last step before raising a guard you couldn't believe. Eren couldn't believe what he was seeing right before him and froze from the sight as you opened your mouth.

"EREN!!!" You screamed in horror as in the next moments, the top half of Eren's head and the tree he was next to, were suddenly chopped in half and sent flying as the Female Titan did one last spin before staring at Eren who's Titan body dropped motionless and his head rolled aross the ground. "Wha..." You muttered in complete shock of what had happed in that moment as the Titan began to move towards Eren and crouched down next to him before positioning his body with the nape exposed. "Oh no...! EREN!" You screamed as you flew as fast as you could when you saw the Female Titan open its mouth to ungodly point to where it seemed like its jaw was unhinged and bite down on the nape before ripping the flesh off and exposing Eren.

"Y/N! EREN!" You heard a cry from another direction and saw Mikasa flying toward the scene.

"Stay back--!" You were wide-eyed when you suddenly saw a shadow cover yourself and both you and Eren were under the Female Titan's open mouth.

Mikasa gasped when she saw the Female Titan suddenly clamp its mouth down on the two of you and rip you both up from the Titan. Leaning her head back, both yours and Eren's legs were slowly swallowed up as the Female avoided chewing at all and the two of you sunk into the abyss of her mouth as Mikasa could only watch in horror. Not wasting anymore time, the Female Titan stood back up and began to run away as Mikasa dangled by her anchors trying to comprehend what she had just seen.

"W-Wait...you two..." Mikasa was in shock of seeing both you and Eren get devoured before herself as the Female Titan was growing farther and farther away. "Don't go..." She was beginning to despair before rage filled her heart and she instantly gave chase, flying full speed ahead. "Give..." She was maneuvering through the trees at great speeds as the Female took notice of her and raised one hand to cover her nape. "GIVE...GIVE THEM BACK!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she caught up and spun around before cutting the cheeks of the Female Titan's face as the Titan tried swiping her away but she disappeared to another angle.

Mikasa turned back and flew back towards the Female before giving her another cut before flying lower and cutting the thigh of the Female. Flying higher, she made her move towards the head of the Titan as the Female tried reached out to grab Mikasa, but the Ackerman flew around her arm in circles before cutting the Female Titan's mouth and continuing her assault. The Female Titan continued to run with annoyed and frustrated eyes as her body was covered in cuts as Mikasa continued to pursue her target with blood covered eyes that boiled with rage as she reeled her blades back once more.

"GIVE THEM BACK!" Mikasa let out her demands once more as she cut the tendons behind the Female's right knee, disabling her leg as she fell to her knees with a desperate look as Mikasa loomed above her. "GRRAAHH!!" Mikasa went to strike the hands that covered the nape, but gasped in shock when they shattered against the hardened flesh and stabbed her broken blade into a tree above the Titan as she anchored there. "Why won't my blade penetrate?" She questioned what happened as the Female turned to glare at her, but Mikasa held her angered look. "I know that they're alive..." She discarded her broken blades. "I know that Y/N and Eren are alive!" She screamed while drawing fresh blades. "No matter where she goes, I'll kill her, rip her apart, and get you two out of that filth." She did not hold back any hatred she was feeling towards the Female Titan as she gave a scary death glare to the giant beast that was below her. "I'm sorry, you two...Just wait a little longer..." She finished her speech as the Female Titan sent her fist towards Mikasa, but the Ackerman dodged under it and jumped off the tree as the Titan resumed its retreat through the forest. "WAIT!" Mikasa screamed at the Titan before gasping as she was suddenly pulled back by someone. "W-What are you...?!" She cut herself off when she saw it was Sarah that grabbed her and Levi was flying by her side. "Sarah...?" Mikasa muttered in disbelief.

"Fall back for now." Levi ordered as Sarah let go of Mikasa and the three of them began to pursue the Female Titan at a distance. "Maintain this distance. It may be tired. It does not appear to be going very fast." Levi said before he and Sarah looked at Mikasa. "Eren seems to have been bitten right out of the neck. Her brother also looked like he was eaten. Are the two of them dead?" Levi asked as Mikasa had an angered look while Sarah had a same type of anger on her face, but it was more of a quiet rage as they continued ahead, while you and Eren were both engulfed in a hot and wet darkness that was inside the Female Titan.
