(y/n) - your name

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

I sat kneeling in the darkness, wind warped as multiple memories that weren't my own flash past my eyes like a moving screen. Memories that belonged to Eren. His plan with the rumbling, his destination.

Marley.

I could hear the screams of the people, their cries as they ran to save their lives as the wall titans got closer. I could hear children calling out for their parents, bawling their eyes as they watched in fear. My own tears fell at the death of all these people.

"They deserve to die." Ymir's stands next to me.

"No." I gasp out, crying as Eren commanded the titans forward to crush the children.

"They are the enemies of Eldia."

"Stop it!" Seeing the children's blood spray.

"This is for my freedom. I have waited for so long to end my slavery."

"I SAID STOP IT!" I screech out, jumping on Ymir and punching her face. She cackles and it morphs into Eren who shoved me back. "YOU'RE A MURDERER!" I scream out, punching Eren over and over.

"This is the only way (y/n)." He mumbles out, biting down on his hand and creating the giant spinal like Titan creature next to him.

"No it's not!" I hiss out, biting down on my own hand and bringing my Titan into form as it howled next to me, standing tall. The darkness I was trapped in starts to melt away and I'm thrown out of the mind of my Titan, standing on its shoulder like a ghost. "Protect those people at all costs!" I shriek out, my Titan bolting off across the water as Levi's yelling faded away behind me. "GO!" We run across the earths land quickly, shaking the ground and we reach the march of the wall titans.

They haven't destroyed Marley yet!

We still have time!

"Hurry!" My Titan growls out, lowering down and jumping up high, flying over the titans to land in front of them.

To protect humanity.

Lightning crackles from both our bodies as we glares up at the wall titans who stare down at us but continue walking. "STOP!" We both roar out, the ground cracking beneath our feet and the titans falter as we howled at them. "The Guardian Titan, Superior to the original nine! We command you to stop or force to be broken down into your original forms from which you were made!" The wall titans stop, their bodies crumbling slowly into sand.

"Don't listen to them!" I hear Erens and Ymir's voice growl out in my head and the marching starts.

"You leave us with no choice!" I hiss out and my titan growls out as it turns its back to the wall titans, war hammer material erupting from its back and creating a wall around the titans. It struggles to hold back the titans, the wall growing up high past their heads as they slow down a bit.

My Titan brake free from the wall, falling to its knees and panting out and I hiss in pain from the pounding in my head. "You grow weaker and soon I will take over!" Ymir yells out but I snarl.

"Not as long as I'm still standing! Do it!" I yell out and I scream in pain as my Titan grows bigger, war hammer material building beneath the continent of Marley and digging it up in one piece. I struggle beneath the crushing weight, forcing my Titan to lift the continent high above the Titan's heads and jumping behind the wall titans as they continued marching.

Just as I suspected. They are blind and won't turn back.

They think they are destroying Marley beneath their feet.

The ground continues to shake as they push against the wall I built around them, it cracking as I grew weak and my Titan gently brings down the continent of Marley on the ground. I fall to my knees with my Titan as I see my body flicker in out of view, my vision darkening as I hear people cheer out for me. I fall to the floor and was brought into the darkness as all I feel was pain.

"Guardian! Wake up! Please!" I hear a tiny voice yelling out for me, feeling my arm shake and I groan as I open my eyes. I blink and look around, looking down at my arms that were all muscle and no skin and I knew I was back in my Titan form. Steam hisses from my shattered arms and I peer down at the child that was beaming at me. "Thank you!" It hugs me and I cry softly seeing the Marleyans safe and thanking me.

Levi!

I gasp, suddenly remembering my cadet's mission and I struggle to stand up. I whine as I see my legs split as well. The Marleyans try to help me, giving me permission to use their buildings to help me stand up. I slowly got up on my broken legs, stumbling and I howl in pain.

Come on!

I grit my teeth and try to focus for my legs to heel only, my arms could wait. I try again, wobbling up on my feet and the civilian's cheer as I turn around and bolt off in the direction the wall titans were heading. I could see bits of my wall shattered and broken on the ground and I speed across the land to reach the rendezvous point where the cadets were getting the plane ready.

"HANJI!" I scream out as I see her taking the titans down with her thunder spear and I panic.

I won't let her die!

She can't die!

I jump forward and I grab her in my mouth gently, her leg sticking out from my mouth as I feel her wiggle against my tongue. "(Y/n)! Let me go! I need to finish my duty as a commander!" I shake my head lightly and I hear the others yell out for me.

"(Y/n)!" I hear Levi yell for me and I growl lowly, focusing my power one last time as lightning crackles around me.

YOU WILL STOP!

I slam my hands down on the ground, lightning running across the field and up the titans, electrocuting hen as they stumble to a slow stop. The backs only their necks explode one by one but I know it's not enough to kill them.

I quickly turn around and drop a saliva covered Hanji next to the plane, panting heavily as my body falls to the floor.

"Fuck (y/n)!" Levi hisses out and runs over to me, standing in my neck to cut me out. "Shit, your body!" Hanji squeals in excitement as she stands up covered in slime but runs over to help Levi pulls me out.

"She's slowly melting into her Titan form! Cut her out quick!" Hanji gasps and I feel my mind being pulled back forcefully.

"We need to cut her arms and legs off!" I whimper in pain, slowly opening my eyes and I see my Titan form steaming away as Levi carried me on the plane.

"We need to go!" Onyankopon calls out and I feel the plane shake as we set off.

"(Y/n)..." Levi looks down at me as he held me to his chest, covering a cloak over my body. "Where were you?" He mumbles out, brushing my hair from my face. He was extremely worried.

"Marley... not destroyed." I groan out and everyone looks at me with wide eyes.

"What!?" Reiner gasps out.

"Safe... all safe..." I flicked in and out of consciousness and Hanji rushes over to keep me awake.

"Your wounds are too detrimental. Stay awake please!" I look at her tiredly as I see the red streaks from my arms have crawled over my face, burning my skin in her glasses.

"Where are the kids... Annie, Magath and Shadis?" I look over and realise they weren't here.

"They stayed behind to look after Falco and Gabi as they head to Hizaru." I nod. Everyone sits in the plane, talking out the next course of action and if it comes down to it, will we be able to kill Eren. The cadets were talking about him and suddenly we were thrown back into the Coordinate, but I wasn't with them.

I was next to Ymir and Eren.

"(Y/n)!" I hear Levi call out for me in the distance but I was too tired, strapped up like a fucking puppet. The others called out to Eren, to try and talk to him as they got closer.

"What?" Hanji stutters out as she sees me and I look at her.

"Why is (y/n) chained up like that!? What have you done to her Yaeger!?" Levi hisses at Eren but he was too far gone, his own eyes blinded by Ymir's will.

"Eren... is gone. Ymir is the one in charge." I mutter out, blood dripping down my arms. Eren talks about freedom like a psycho but I know it was Ymir's words filtering through him.

"The only way to stop me... is by ending my life. You are free to do so." Eren says.

"Let (y/n) go!" Levi glares at Ymir and she cocks her head to the side. I was growing tired and Levi was panicking. "Stay awake-" and I pass out.
