Chapter 23
*First person pov*
We stared at Eren as he lets out a big roar. "What... is that?" Jean questions. "A savior." I answered, smiling at Eren. I heard the window crash. I looked and saw Mikasa, Connie, and Armin. "Mikasa!?" Jean shouts. Connie taps his gas tank and laughed nervously. "It's empty... We did it! We just barely made it!!" Connie cheered. "You all... are alive!?" Jean said, in disbelief. I pulled up Armin, Connie, Mikasa just got up herself. "You guys are right on time!" I said, laughing as I hugged them. "We did it Armin!!" Connie yells as he slaps Armin on the back, but maybe a little too harsh. "Ouch!" Armin hisses. "Your plan was a success!" Connie said as he turns to us. "Everyone!! That titan's an abnormality that slaughters other titans!!" Connie said as he points to Eren. "It's not even interested in attacking humans! If we all play the right cards, we can all get outta here alive!!!" Connie announced. "Using... a titan?" People murmur among themselves. When did the group gather here? I thought they all went inside... "You'd rely on a titan's help!? That's more delusional than any dream!!" Jean yelled. "It's not a dream. I don't care it it's an abnormal or whatever. Let's just let it rampage here for as long as possible. Realistically, that's our best option for survival." Mikasa said, interrupting Jean from continuing.

I was sitting next to Armin, looking at the map of the storage. "Hey... What happened to Eren? He was on your team." I asked him, even though I knew what happened to him. Armin's eyes widen and he looked at the ground sadly. Tears brimmed his eyes as he wiped them away. "He.... They.... My whole team died... including Eren.... I'm so sorry Basil..." Armin apologizes. I just stared at him and smiled. "He's not dead. He's alive." I said as I stared at the map of the storage with my only visible eyes. "...What..? Basil.... I'm not lying...." Armin said as he grabbed my hand. "I know what you mean. He was eaten by a titan, yes?" I asked him. Armin nods sadly. "Just.... take my word that he's not dead. Trust me." I said as looked at him. "I don't know...." Armin trails off. I just smiled at him. "Don't worry. Now, let's figure out a plan. Or, rather you. I'm too stupid to know what all this means, I just came over here to ask about Eren and hang with you. But... how's Mikasa?" I asked him more questions. "Mikasa... she didn't take Eren's death too well... I have no idea how she's feeling right now." Armin said, sitting back. I looked down. "I see... well, I best not be bothering you. You need to figure out a plan for us." I said, standing up. I walked away to leave Armin to thinking and searched for Mikasa. I spot her, messing with her blades. "Mikasa!" I shout as I ran over to her. She glanced up at me but then back at the blades, like it was the best thing in the world to look at. "Mikasa... how are you feeling...?" I asked her. She didn't say anything. "I heard from Armin about Eren.... Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her, sitting in front of her. She stood up abruptly. "We'll talk once we're safe." Mikasa said before walking away. I sighed and ran my hand through my ponytail. Jean came in walking, with boxes in hands. "We found some!! They're Military Police supplies, though there are covered in dust..." Jean said as him and the trainees had set the crates down on the ground and pried them open. There were guns, tons of them. "Hey Jean, what are we going to do with guns? Those things can't do anything to titans..." I trailed off as I grabbed a gun. Jean unloaded the gun to see how many bullets there were. They all had three bullets. "Will three bullets be enough? Do these guns even work against titans in the first place?" Jean questions himself. Didn't I already tell you these guns don't work against those beasts? "It's better than nothing." Armin said, then looked at everyone in the room. "Even if there are still seven 3-4 meter class titans in the supply room, blinding them all at once isn't impossible with this much firepower. First, we'll use the lift to lower a large number of people into the center of the chamber. Next, they'll fire directly into the faces of all seven titans at once. We'll blind them. The next instance will decide everything. Seven other people hiding near the ceiling will swoop down to attack their weak spots while they're blind. In other words... if we follow this plan, we'll be gambling everything on this single attack. The whole point is for seven people to kill all seven titans simultaneously. The seven people should be the most physically capable ones, you'll have to shoulder the burden of everyone's lives... I'm sorry..." Armin apologizes. "No problem." I start whistling as I walk over to the lift. "Yeah, yeah! No problem.... no problem at all in fact!" I said as I got on the lift, everyone staring at me. "Basil... what are you doing?" Connie asked me. "It's fine, it's fine! Just dandy! Why don't you all just stay here while I just... DO THIS!!!" I yell as I hit the button to go down. There was a deep rumble and I started moving down slowly. "BASIL!!!" The people close to me yell. "Don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!!" I said, waving them off. They run over to the lift and tried to get me out or stop it. I brush all their hands away, smiling as and kept them off of the button. "You'll break the lift this way you know! Hahaha!" I said, laughing. "Basil!!!" I descended far enough that they can't reach me. "I'll see ya later!" I said, saluting them. Tears brimmed their eyes. Awww... they think I'm going to die! It's not like I can... how unfair to them.... "Basil..." Mikasa said as she stared into my confident eyes. She nods and I nod back. "Wait here for me!"
