The air was cold as we made our way to the running titan. My hair swept wildly around, the sun kissed sky was darkening with each jump we made using the gear. I could hear the gas escaping from my back, making me fly faster. How much gas did I have? It didn't matter. Falling was not my fear. I could easily catch myself and take to the trees. I stored chakra in my fists. If this giant thing could regenerate, I wouldn't be able to take it down simply by punching it. However, I could knock it down to get to its neck. It was the only thing I could think of to make it remove its hand from it, she was protecting it at all costs. We got close enough to it now. The titan lifted its hand to smack us away, I lowered myself to avoid it. She was fast, I was almost thrown off balance in midair. Petra and Oluo shot their wires into her face and pulled themselves towards it.

"Take this!" Petra shouted. They spun elegantly, shoving their blades into the titan's eyes. I was stunned at their skill. They were good. The female titan halted and put both her hands over her neck. She was blinded. Both her eyes were no longer a crystal clear blue, she had them closed as red blood oozed from them.

"Shit! Her damn hands are in the way!" Oluo snarled. I moved over her and shot my wires into her cheek. Pulling myself in, I used the velocity as a boost for my chakra enhanced blow. My fist connected with her cheek and with a crunching boom, she stumbled backwards and fell on her butt with her back to a tree. I cursed under my breath. Now her neck was being protected by her hands and a tree, this was harder than I thought.

"What the hell?!" Oluo swore as he stood on a nearby branch. He had his mouth wide open. "Hey! How did you do that?!" He shouted waving his sword wildly. Petra joined him in his confusion. I grinned at them.

"I have special fairy dust that can make my wish come true if I sprinkle it on myself, and I just happened to wish for super inhuman strength." They deadpanned.

"Are you for real?!" Oluo stated with his mouth hanging open. My smile withered. Perhaps this wasn't a good time for jokes.

"Sakura…please be serious, how did you do that?" Petra asked with wide eyes. I shifted nervously.

"I can explain later, but right now we need to open her neck before she regenerates!" I yelled, pointing at the cornered titan.

"I knew something was up with you…you're not off the hook girl! Expect to be questioned after this!" Oluo spoke out with a suspicious glare. I didn't care, because I wasn't going to stay after this. I had to leave. Not only was I starting to get dangerously attached, but even if I told them the truth, they would never believe me. I was positive I could survive outside the walls until I found a way to return home anyway. Still, I promised Petra…could I really leave just like that?

"Enough! It's healing! Let's finish it now!" Petra hollered. We turned to the titan, whos eyes were emitting steam.

"Crap, let's go!" We jumped off the branch and sped towards her body. I took out my handle and withdrew a blade.

"Make that bitch of a titan pay!" Oluos voice was loud with anger.

"Die here without honor titan!" Petra slashed beneath her arms, making gashes across them. We circled around her torso, cutting and slashing all around her body with magnificent speed. I twisted in the air and landed a slash across her shoulder. Her arm twitched.

"Shear off as much muscle around her shoulders! She won't be able to keep her arms up!" Petra instructed. We obeyed. She moved in to slash at her collarbone. Oluo and I followed afterwards, slashing at her under arms and shoulders. The titan's arms slowly fell to her sides.

"It worked!" I hollered happily, taking out a second blade. Now for her neck…I caught a glimpse of Eren's retreating form from the corner of my eye and shot a smile his way. He was looking back with a relieved grin. We were going to take it down once and for all.

"Shear off the muscle around her neck, we can strike its weakpoint, go!" Petra shouted, using her gear to fly around the titan. Oluo and I followed her, ready to cut. I felt a rush of happiness and adrenaline as we moved in for the kill. This was almost fun. It was better than training, and I was going to avenge the people this thing killed.

"Strike its neck no-" Oluo's voice cut off as he moved towards her face. It happened too fast. The titans eye suddenly opened as she moved her head quickly, opening her mouth and biting down on the annoying man. Blood gushed down her chin. I gasped, unable to believe what I was seeing.

"Noooo!" Petra screamed, tears forming in her eyes. Only one eye…She focused her healing on one eye only. I clenched my teeth. How could I not have noticed that as a medic?! The titan spit Oluo out, the upper half of his body landing on the ground and the lower half flying elsewhere. Petra lowered herself to the ground and sped away. She was escaping. I frowned angrily.

"H-how?! It can't possibly see!" She screamed, totally panicked now.

"Petra! Get out of here! I'll handle it!" I shouted to her. She stared blankly. Was she listening? The titan got up quickly and ran full speed towards the shocked girl. Oh no…"Petra get off the ground!" I screamed, trying to keep up with the titans long strides, she was too fast. My fist was green with chakra, ready for a blow. My eyes widened. I couldn't make it in time. "Petra, she's going to step on you! Get off the ground now!" My screams were pointless. Petra's screaming voice ended as a giant foot came crashing down on her, crushing her against a tree. Blood was splattered all over the wood. She was gone. I hollered in rage.

"You bastard!" I shot my wires into the back of her neck and flew to her, swords raised. I spun and slashed…my swords breaking in the process. I stared in shock. The back of her neck was covered in a blue crystal-like hard substance. She swapped at me, my body colliding her with her skinless hand caused me to fly back, my body was going to be sore after this. I caught myself just in time, stepping on the bark of a nearby tree, I used my chakra to jump up and spin, rising my leg over my head. I was going to kick her with all I had. Her blue eyes widened in surprise as connected my foot to her head. Her knees buckled and she went down. I wasn't done. I punched her back in my landing with such force, the ground shook. She convulsed under me, then with a piercing snarl, she rose and threw a large punch my way. I gasped and used my gear to fly up, only to be thrown off balance by the swishing air her punch caused. "Gyaa!" I let out a small scream as I flew and crashed against the floor. She was pissed. I picked myself up quickly and ran under her. She stomped wildly, randomly, in hopes of getting me as I hopped around. She snarled again as she kicked the air, making it knock me off my feet. I panted as I scrambled to my feet.

"This isn't working…she's too big." I mumbled to myself tiredly. I ran at full speed towards her left foot, she wasn't expecting that. I punched her calf, making her fall once again. The ground shook as she collided with the earth, now was my chance. I hopped on her back and ran towards her neck, swords ready to be used. I jumped, the air giving me a boost as I slashed at her weak point. Crystal formed again, breaking my second set of swords. I shuddered in confusion. "Again?!" Why? Why wasn't my sword going through? What the hell was this crystal? I clenched my fist as I angrily pounded on it. The titan shook, and with another snarl, picked herself up. I stumbled and hopped away, seeing the crystal disappear. So she could form some sort of shield…this was harder than expected. The titan distanced herself from me, arms raised in a combat position. I stood on a branch, eyeing her wearily.

"So you're taking me seriously now?" I asked out loud. She said nothing. I wiped sweat off my brow and shot my wires forward, pulling my body up into the sky. I moved around her neck to land a punch but stopped when I noticed she wasn't moving. "Huh?" My heart skipped a beat. It was a trap. Her head jerked violently against me, colliding with my body and sending me flying.

"Sakura!" Eren caught me in midair and we both toppled down to the ground rolling, his arms wrapped around me protectively. He was purposefully taking the damage for the fall. He jumped up and helped me to my feet as we rolled to a stop.

"Eren? You were supposed to be escaping! Where's Mike?" I looked around dizzily, there was no sign of the sniffing obsessed blonde.

"I saw Petra die…and then you were knocking around the female titan like a rag doll…I came as fast as I could, mike left without knowing I came." He put his hands on my shoulders with a bewildered look on his face. So he sneaked away from him.

"Eren go back, I will handle it!" I pleaded with the blue eyed boy. His chin scrunched up, tears silently fell down his cheeks. It made me want to hug him in comfort.

"I won't let anybody else die! I don't want you to die! I didn't turn and look what happened! I will take it down this time!" He squeezed my shoulders tightly and bore his eyes into mine. I stared in awe. "I won't let you die." He let go of my shoulders and ran to the titan.

"Wait! Eren!" I called out helplessly. I didn't want him to die either. Lightning fell to the ground as red light enveloped the sky. My hair flew wildly and I had to cover my face. The ground shook with each stomp I heard. Uncovering my eyes, I gasped at the sight before me. A male titan, with black long hair and toned skin ran towards the female titan with a mighty roar. He tackled her to the ground, making the earth vibrate. So Eren really could turn into a titan…I turned around, giving one last look at the fighting giants. "good luck." I whispered before running to my fallen team mates.

I saw Petra first. Her body was bent at a strange angle against the blood splattered tree the titan smashed her against. I slowly made my way to her. "Petra?" I whispered. My hands grabbed hold of her head gently and I pulled it back to look into her eyes. They were half opened, her mouth hung at a strange angle with blood dropping from it. I moved her head and realized, in anguish, that her neck was broken, along with her jaw. I bent down and pressed a hand to her back. Her spine was bent at an awkward angle. I sniffed in defeat. Pressing my hands to her lower back, I began healing. I knew it wouldn't work, but I had to try. I could feel her bones mending as I pumped chakra into them.

'There are sakura trees by where I live, we can go pick some another day, they will look lovely in your hair.' My hands shook with the memory of her voice.

'Just don't back out on me, you have no idea how much courage this is going to take.' I bit into my lip in an attempt to stop the awful feeling bubbling in my throat. I got up hopelessly. Petra was beyond repair. I couldn't help her. I turned away from the broken corpse and made my way to Oluo. Grabbing the upper half of his body by his arms, I dragged him towards his lower half. I could still try to put him back together. I bent to start the healing once I connected his body together. His face was almost serene, despite his death being horrible. I pressed my ear to his chest. No heartbeat. His skin felt cold as I pressed my hands to it. He was gone too. Just let him go…I thought. If I had gotten here sooner…I might have been able to heal him. The heart and brain stayed alive for a while upon death. That I had learned from Tsunade sama. Especially if the body is to be torn in half…as long as you're quick to get to them, you can save them…that's what she said. I punched the ground in anger. It was the titans fault.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry." I whispered to the dead man as I stood. It was time to leave. I hopped on a tree branch and stopped, frozen. How could I? I couldn't abandon Eren like this. I turned to the fight before me. Eren was on top of the female titan with broken arms, screaming in her face so loudly she turned it to the side. I could help Eren just before I left. I wasn't the type to leave others in their fights, I wanted to help, especially if it was Eren. I hopped from tree to tree and shot my wires towards Erens shoulder to latch on. I pulled myself to him. He turned his large head, onyx eyes widened at my appearance, standing on his shoulder. "Eren! Keep her this way! I'm going to summon something an-aaaah!" The female titan shoved her foot into Eren's stomach, throwing him off knocking me off balance. A giant hand grabbed me before I hit the floor. I was tightly engulfed by skin and for a moment I felt fear. He could squish me by accident. I wiggled around violently, causing him to unclench his hand. He was sitting, the female titan standing in front of him. He got up quickly and set me down on a high branch, pleading with his eyes for me to stay put. He returned to the female titan and charged. They were engaged in hand to hand combat once again, Eren violently pushed her down on her butt with a roar. She held up her arms as a defensive gesture and moved out of the way quickly as Eren pounded the ground.

"Eren!" I shouted. The female titan stood facing the male titan in an attack pose. Eren did the same, steam oozed out of his destroyed fists. Eren was not winning. Now was the time to summon, I had to kill the female titan and help Eren. I brought my finger in between my teeth and bit. I froze. A strange feeling bubbled inside me. My eyesight grew darker and my heartbeat quickened, my heart was vibrating. I gasped as I felt the explosion, red took over my vision. I fell backwards in slow motion. It was the strangest feeling. It was as if I was in a very lucid dream, I was floating. Almost as if I was dying. The colors around me were amazingly bright, and in the midst of my nausea, my spinning, dizzy feeling, I felt strangely aware, paralyzed, and dreamy.

Was I dreaming? My mind was slipping into the colors, they were growing brighter, bigger. There was greenery around me. My mind wasn't divided with my body anymore. I felt no numbness. I sat in a grassy area, it was nostalgic, with the memory of my gennin days in the training fields. I sat back calmly as I stared at Naruto arguing with Sasuke. Kakashi stood over them, a blank look on his face. Their fighting again…I thought. I smiled. It was a pleasant sight, seeing her team mates fight again. Sasuke shoved the blonde, making him fall on his back. I giggled.

"Stop it you guys." I stated. My voice was strangely distant, as if I were in a long tunnel.

They continued to fight, Naruto was roughly struggling with Sasuke now, they were tangled in each others arms. The sight was almost erotic, with Sasuke's shirt halfway up. I smiled, a small nosebleed forming. Sasuke threw a punch. Naruto's head jerked. Another punch. Blood graced the blonde's nose. I frowned.

"Stop it you guys." I repeated. My voice was even more distant. I grabbed my throat. Sasuke bit into Naruto's neck, my best friend screamed in pain.

"Stop it!" I yelled. No sound came out, I was mute. Sasuke pulled out a huge chunk of flesh, blood and pieces of shiny meat flew around Naruto.

"Stop it!" My mouth formed the silent words. More flesh was torn. Sasuke was eating my friends face. The sky turned a bloody red, crimson rain fell from the jet black clouds. Sasuke pulled out an eye.

"Stop it!" I shouted. My voice was gone, I couldn't talk. Kakashi stood watching with a blank expression. Why wasn't he doing anything?! I tried to get up as crimson water fell down my face. I couldn't, I was stuck. I could only watch as the raven haired boy ate my team mate.

Stop it!

Naruto's jaw fell to the red, wet grass.

Stop it!

His screams grew silent as his tongue was ripped out, his stomach being torn open by Sasuke's hands.

Stop it!

I clawed at my face in despair, chunks of my flesh fell, leaving bloody heaps of meat on the grass. I screamed.

My eyes shot open. I was disoriented, where was I? My vision was blurry but I could make out a huge body in front of me. Eren? That's right, I was fighting…with the female titan…and Eren…I sat up slowly, my body felt numb. It took a while for the loud ringing in my ears to cease and my vision to clear. I looked around dizzily. Eren's titan form was crouched near me, he was studying me with wide eyes. Why…I held out a hand to push him back and froze. He wasn't so big anymore, he was to my level, face to face with me. I examined my arm. It was skinless, with bones covering my knuckles and nails. I stood up hastily, nearly toppling over at the unatural height I was in. The female titan was to my level too, if not a bit shorter. I stood there in a daze. What happened to me? Was I…a titan? I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't. I couldn't talk…It was like I didn't know how. I clutched my throat with my skinless hand and felt around it. I could feel bits of skin and bone. I could tell my face had skin by caressing it lightly. I never wanted a mirror so much in my life. The female titan charged, sending a kick across my face. I stumbled, my jaw cracking. Eren latched on to my arm and pulled me out of the female titan's way. Steam bubbled up inside my mouth. I was regenerating…but, it didn't hurt in the least. I felt no pain. Eren roared and rushed at her, she dodged and took a fighting position once again. Eren circled her, putting himself between me and the enemy. I shakily stood completely upright, my pink hair rustling in the wind. How on earth did I turn into one of them? I was extremely perplexed. Eren charged again, and hit the tree behind the blonde titan with such force he crumpled to his knees, steam rising from his face. The blonde twirled with speed, hardening her foot into crystal, and slammed it against Eren's face, tearing his head off. My mouth flew open, my stomach tightened with worry. Was he…dead? The blonde titan crouched near the headless body. She held his shoulders steadily and opened her jaw. Eren was swaying in the air, his legs were stuck to the male titans neck. She was going to swallow him! She brought her mouth down, chomping on the flesh, Eren was gone. His titan body was dissolving now, soon there would be nothing but huge bones in its place. I snarled and hurled myself towards her while she was still crouching, bringing her down hard. I sat on top of her, grabbing her chin roughly and pressing hard on it, breaking part of her jaw. She brought her head up towards mine quickly, hitting her forehead with mine roughly, making me sway. I felt myself being pushed off by her foot. She was winning…I slowly sat up and watched as she picked herself up and started running away. I snarled loudly. She wasn't getting away with swallowing Eren!

"Eren!" I turned towards the user of the voice. Mikasa. The girl stared at me with wide eyes. Oh no…did she see me as a threat? I couldn't talk, I had no idea how to explain to her. Well that could wait, I had other things to do. I got up quickly and ran after the blonde titan as fast as my legs could carry me. For now, I had to get Eren back. I could see Mikasa flying past me towards the female titan, angrily cursing at her to give the boy back. Good, at least she saw who took him. It would be hell if the girl started coming after me thinking I had Eren. I ran faster, determined to catch up to the titan. My chakra felt strange somehow, it was difficult to manipulate. It was hard for me to boost my speed with it.

Mikasa twirled in the air, slashing all around the titans back. The large blonde slapped at the dark haired girl. She caught herself and used the gear to fly around the titans legs, slashing at her calves. She growled and kicked at the air hard, sending Mikasa flying away. It was the same trick she used on me. She used the impact her size had on the wind, it was a smart move. I kept running. I was close enough to grab hold of her hair now, and I was going to seize my chance. Stretching my arm, I yanked at her locks, only for her to elbow me hard. She kicked under my feet, making me fall and sending Mikasa flying yet again. She turned and continued running.

"Mikasa!" my eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Levi tackling the girl in the air. She was already trying to chase the titan again, the girl wouldn't quit. Levi stared up at me.

"Well…I shouldn't be surprised." He muttered. Mikasa glared at me.

"It's that girl, Sakura right?" She asked. I tensed.

"Pink hair isn't exactly common, she's the only one that it can be, the question is, is she friend or foe." Levi murmured softly. I wished so badly I could talk.

"She's not attacking us now…Wait, Eren is in that blonde titan! We have to rescue him!" Mikasa responded, still, she eyed me suspiciously. I frowned and stared after the titans retreating form. While they were busy talking, she was getting away. I roared and sprung up on my feet to chase her. The ground shook with each step I took.

"Let's go!" Levi shouted at the girl. They flew in front of me. At least they weren't trying to cut me open, I was glad for now. The blonde lifted her hand over her neck in a defensive gesture as Mikasa lowered herself to the ground. Levi hovered above her, on the right side of my face. Was Mikasa luring her attention? It seemed so, Levi had a clear shot, if it wasn't for her hand getting in the way. The blonde titan continued running. Was she aware of Levi behind her? It looked as if she was focusing her attention on stepping on Mikasa. Their plan was working…Time stood at a standstill as the titan turned swiftly, sending a punch towards Levi, completely taking me by surprise. Reflex took over and I grabbed her fist with my hand and kept it there, using some chakra to crush it. Levi spun wildly and cut randomly along the titans arm, making his way up her head. Blood gushed from her wounds. I couldn't believe it…Levi was amazing! His speed and skill took both us titans by surprise. I was completely awe struck by the Sasuke clones actions. Levi jumped and stabbed her eye, leaving her blind yet again. She moved to slap him away but I stopped her hand with my own, completely immobilizing her. Levi moved fast, cutting all around her body using the gear to his advantage. She fell on her butt, pressing her back against a tree to block access to her neck.

"Hey! Lift her head up!" I glanced at Levi. He waited impatiently for me to obey. I crouched and grabbed hold of her hair, pulling at it to move her head upwards. Levi moved down to slash at her arms furiously. Why was he doing that? Eren was in her mouth…It dawned on me that it was Levi's way of getting payback. He couldn't get at her neck as long as she hardened it into crystal. Still, he could just have me rip her head off, but probably decided against it. Eren was in there and he could get hurt in the process. Blood gushed from her arms as they slid off her neck limply. Wires shot towards the titan's neck. Mikasa moved towards her angrily.

"Stop! Don't!" Levi shouted, I gasped silently as the blondes hand shot up to grab the dark haired girl. She was going to be crushed. Levi pushed Mikasa out of the way with his body and stood awkwardly on the titan's hand. His face scrunched up, as if he were in pain.

I grabbed the skinless hand before she could throw Levi off and twisted. Didn't I brake it before? She was healing too fast. Levi seized the opportunity to jump and slash at her mouth. Her jaw fell, Eren slid out to her tongue, covered in a yellow slime. It was gross.

"Eren!" Mikasa yelled happily. I watched as Levi swooped in and grabbed hold of him. He shot his wires into my shoulder and hopped on it with Eren in tow.

"Is he…" Mikasa spoke from a nearby branch.

"He's fine! But filthy…forget about it, we'll retreat! Don't lose sight of our core objective! Is it more important to get what you want? Isn't he an important friend?" Levi said loudly, dropping the unconscious boy on my shoulder. I stood still, afraid to move lest they fall.

"No I…But they were your friends too right? She killed them…"

Levi's face grew dark. "That doesn't matter now, it happened, there's nothing to be done about it, come, I'm almost out of gas, we'll have to have her take us back to the others." He nodded at me, holding Eren down with one arm while sitting, he winced in pain. Did he get hurt somehow? Mikasa sighed heavily and hopped next to Eren's sleeping form, sitting beside him.

"Alright." She replied. Levi turned to me.

"Go back the way we came from, I'll get you out when we reach the horses, you have a lot of explaining to do." I stared towards the empty path longingly. I could run, escape, never look back. Yet this wasn't a choice of need anymore, it was one of morality. Was it okay to leave them stranded here? No… I had to get them to safety, especially Eren. I started running at a calm pace, my footsteps causing small shakes within the ground. Levi clenched his leg, biting into his lower lip harshly.

"I'm sorry." Mikasa muttered apologetically. Levi slumped indifferently.

"It's nothing, I sprang my leg, it's not broken." He spoke bluntly. My heart quickened. I had to heal him once we got back. It would make me seem less like a lying bad guy, and I had to owe it to him for saving Eren.

"She's crying." Mikasa spoke, looking back at the titan. I turned too. Tears were falling down her cheeks silently. I ran faster, thinking of what was to come.
