(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How did the Yaegerist faction get to the harbour so quickly!?" Sasha nibbles nervously on a potato and I sit in the cart silently with the children. Onyankopon and Yelena were tied up on the other cart, not like they would try to run away. Hanji and Magath were scoping out the area, trying to come up with a plan as I watched the burns in my arms pulse a soft red. They shone lightly under the sun, a slightly mesmerising sight, almost like glitter.

I feel movement next to me and I look over to see Falco staring at my arm in curiosity. "What's that ring?" Gabi suddenly asks and I look down at my hand with the simple and beautiful ring sitting on my finger. I blush lightly, staring at Levi who had his head bowed like he was resting.

"I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say." I smile nervously, toying with the ring.

"I gave it to her." Levi cuts me off before I could say anything, staring at me and I hear Hanji gasp out. She whips her head to face me all the way up from the sandy hill.

"Did I hear Levi say he gave a ring to (y/n)!?" She squeals out and Magath slams her mouth shut.

How'd she hear that all the way from up there?

"Wait! Captain, are you and (y/n) getting married!?" Connie exclaims in shock and everyone looks at us in surprise.

"No way! Captain Levi proposing!? I thought he couldn't feel emotions!?" Jean gets hit with a glare from Levi and he cowers away.

"I'm so happy for you! You clearly love each other." Armin claps happily and I notice Levi's ears turn red.

"Hold on, they never said Levi proposed." Mikasa quietly says.

"Mikasa is right! Maybe it's a promise ring!" Sasha sputters out, bits of her potato flying.

"Sasha, keep your mouth shut when you're eating. Disgusting." Annie rolls her eyes.

"Well, what's the answer? I need to know!" Hanji practically leaps over and I look at Levi as he stares at my ring.

"It was a gift I gave her for Christmas." I could see the cadet's mood deflate. "A promise ring that I will marry her in the future." and everyone was finally beaming as I blushed.

"Levi! You're getting married!" Hanji dances around, singing about being a bridesmaid.

"If you will have me that is." Levi holds my hand and I chuckle.

"You had to ask at a time like this huh. You practically forced this on me." I giggle and Levi rolls his eyes playfully.

"You hardly objected."

"That is true."

"As much as I would love to keep this sweet moment going, we need to come up with a way to infiltrate the harbour and spare enough time to get the Azumabito to start an airship for us." Magath says and everyone goes back to being serious. I climb up the sandy hill and perch myself to view over the hill. I hear the cadets below me trying to come up with a plan and start arguing with each other again about murdering people if needed, especially Eren.

The harbour was swarmed with scouts armed with guns and swords. We couldn't wait until night to sneak past through the dark and it was too bright in the day to even fake a scenario. I look up at the cloudless sky and I know what I have to do.

"(y/n), what do you think you're doing?" I jump down past Hanji, giving myself some space. "(y/n), you can't keep using your powers! You're killi-you still need to rest!" Hanji quickly covers up her words but Levi narrows his eyes at me.

"It's my job remember." I take in a deep breath, closing my eyes and trying to focus on summoning my titan powers. "Come on." I try to push away the screaming voices in my head, feeling the buzz of the red lightning streaks in my body as they pulsed.

"(y/n)!"

I gasp out at the sudden hold on my neck, slightly struggling to breathe as my vision slowly turns red. "Stay calm." I pant out, blinking my eyes rapidly to try and turn my vision back to normal and it flickers. I growl lowly, feeling hot rage swarm over my body as I thought about my cadets dying around me. The clouds begin to circle, the sky turning a sickening dark grey as the clouds crackled. Shots of lightning broke through the sky, lighting it up as it gathered above the harbour.

"Hurt them all."

Red lightning gathered around my hands as I fisted them, hearing the screams of the Yaegerist scouts and I try to rein back the crackling thunder. The wind whips around me and my body bursts into burning waves of heat as the red lightning in the sky circled around the harbour. It cracks down on the Yaegerists, vines travelling along each available gun and thunder spear to melt down the weapons. I hear their confused shouts as I snap my eyes open, my vision burning red as I commanded the clouds to ambush the Harbour and cover the area in darkness.

"Go!" I hiss out, voice distorting as my cadets quickly gear up and run into the dark clouds camouflaging them. The dome of clouds slowly gets bugger and I struggle to pull back the powers slightly. I hear gunfire and explosion amidst the clouds, two familiar gold lightning explosions erupting indicating Reiner and Annie had transformed.

"Something isn't right." I flinch in pain as my skin burned and I stumble up the sandy hill, dropping to my knees as I dropped the cloud dome around everyone. The scouts were fighting off Reiner and Annie with their blades, the thunder spears and guns rendered useless but there was still too many of them.

"Stop."

Annie shrieks in pain as her arm gets cut off.

"Stop!"

Reiner howling as scouts slice at his joints.

"STOP!"

I howl out, slamming my hands down as all the lightning cracked down on me, powering through my body and running down to the harbour in waves of living vines. I screech out, blazing as the lightning electrocuted the scouts unconscious. The few that were somehow alive ran to destroy the ships and I growl loudly, lightning cracking down in front of them and creating a wall.

"Stay away." I scream out, my skin ripping apart. I turn around when I hear the sound of a train and panic swarms over me as I see the backup for the scouts.

There's too many!

I pant out from the energy around me, my body deforming and breaking to transform into my titan. "Stay away!"  I scream out into the sky as my tall titan form looming over the harbour easily and I snap my head to face the backup.

"They will hurt your family and friends if you don't stop them (y/n)."

Fury washes over me and I split my jaw open, screaming at the scouts. They crumble to the floor, covering their ears as their weapons burst into flames. I see a flash of gold lightning and I turn around, gasping as Falco transformed.

"This is not good!" I huff out, hesitant on leaving the backup but I rush forward to stop Falco from attack Pieck.

Jaw Titan!

I roar out and it howls back at me, ready to jump on me. I growl as my eyes slowly turn red and it falters back slightly.

STAND DOWN NOW!

I howl loudly and it screeches in pain, covering its ears.

You will listen to me!

I snarl, walking towards it and holding its neck out so Magath could cut Falco out. "Go! Get on the boat!" I yell out to the others as I hear the Yaegerists zipping towards us with their blades. Everyone gets on the boat quickly to sail off and I cover my nape as the Yaegerists try to cut me out.

"Get the fuck away from her!" My eyes widen as I see Levi flying about, slicing at the Yaegerists.

"Levi!" I quickly cover him, holding him in my hand as one of them tries to shoot him. "Get back to the boat!"

"No! I'm not leaving you behind!" He hisses out and breaks free. "We need to destroy that ship!" I look over and see the scouts yelling at each other to get one. "They will reach us in no time with that thing!" I nod and cast a wall between the scouts and the boat, jumping over it and landing in the ocean.

"Magath! Shadis!" They peek up at me as they poured gunpowder on the boat. I quickly grab them gently and set them on my shoulder.

"What are you doing!?" Shadis yells at me.

"I'm not letting you die. Your kids still need you." Both men falter at my words and I stand back, conjuring the lightning from the skies and let it grow around my fists. "You should cover your eyes." Large balls of light crackle around my fingers and I raise my fists, slamming down on the boat as it explodes into pieces. The strength of the power causes a small tsunami against the harbour, scouts struggling to get up to high ground.

"Let's go! We need to catch up!" Levi lands on my head and everyone on me holds on tight as I bolt across the ocean. I set the Shadis and Magath down, leaning over for Levi to cut me out.

"(Y/n)! Watch out!" I turn around and choke out as a thunder spear lodges through my throat before exploding.
