The forces of Paradis begin their assault, but the Warriors stand their ground. As Marley troops close in around them, Eren struggles to break the War Hammer's defenses.

Year 845

-PREVIOUSLY-

"time to take back the founder!" porco says.

every one gasps at eren's situation.

"eren!" mikasa shouts.

just then, a female (sorry for taking your spot levi LMAO) figure shoots down from above, slicling erens nape.

porco's eyes widen, 'lei..lani...? the hell? i can't bite through either.' porco thinks.

the unknown female lands on the floor, hair covering her face.

levi then comes out of no where and shoots his gear onto somewhere. unbeknownst to levi , leilani does the same, not seeing her brother.

"are those.. two ackermans?! but, i though leilani was on our side!"

eren slams porco's titan into a building. eren grips porco's hair, making him grit his teeth, 'this isn't good!' porco thinks.

porco scratches eren with his claw, escaping. he latches onto a building, trying to get away. but before he can get his claw on the top of a building, leilani suddenly throws a thunderspear onto the spot, making porco fall. suprising to levi, he was just going to do the same thing."your kidding me, lei. why are you betraying us? most importantly, i'm a titan! how can a bunch of regular humans charge right at me with the intent to kill?" porco wonders.

"these are... the demons of Paradis Island !"

-PRESENT-

the cart's armor can be heard being shot.

several other scouts were killed, trying to escape, or firing back.

"six o-clock! evade! evade!"

"shit! i can't shake it!"

mikasa's eyes widen at the sight of her comrades getting killed.

jean and leilani fall into a home through a window.

more shots from the cart titan's armor can be heard shooting at other comrades. 

jean and leilani look out through a big hole in the wall. pieck's titan standing there.

"well isn't that a wonderful way to greet your friends, ey pieck?" leilani says.

'leilani? thank goodness i made it in time. my machine gun armaments are the 3D maneuver gear's worst nightmare. it was worth taking the time to equip them.' pieck thinks.

eren looks at the crystal he's holding which had Lara inside.

Lara's eyes shrink, as eren is now being held up by another gigantic shard, his forearm hardened in the process.

"eren!" mikasa shouts, again.

the ground is shaking, meaning another titan is approaching.

mikasa looks to the side, seeing the beast titan making it's way to eren.

levi can already tell who it is by not even looking. the ground keeps shaking as levi looks to the side, looking at the beast titan.

"here he is," jean says.

"it's the beast titan!"

"mr.zeke!" porco says.

-DIFFERENT POV-

gabi can be seen running, carrying a gun with her.

"i'll kill you! Eren Jaeger." gabi says.

-BACK TO BEAST TITAN-

eren moves his head to look at zeke.

"don't let them get away," zeke says from his titan, "wipe them all out."

"don't die." levi reminds, "survive to the end!" levi finishes, drawing out his two swords.

the beast titan runs as levi flies over. unbeknownst to levi, leilani is doing the same thing.

levi flies to the beast titan's right side and leilani flies to his left.

the armored titan's hand comes out of the ground.

inside of reiners hand, is falco.

falco get's out of his hand, eyes widen at the sight of zeke's titan trying to get the scouts by swatting his hand in many directions.

"what in the..." falco trails off.

mikasa tries breaking Lara's crystal by throwing a thunderspear, but fails.

falco see's erens titan with Lara in his grasp.

"could that be...?" falco wonders, "Mister Kruger? no. Eren Jaeger! how dare you?!"

he remembers when eren starts transforming, as reiner bites his hand to transform and protect falco.

"Officer Braun!" falco shouts.

he gets back into Reiner's hand, "officer!"

he runs to where reiner is, "Officer, i'm sorry. it was all my fault! huh?" falco trails off, holding reiners cheek, "he's alive, but..."

'he's unconscious.' falco thinks, 'his titan powers should be regenerating his body for him. as long as he has a strong desire to live... wait...'

-FLASHBACK-

reiner crouches infront of eren, "i can't take it anymore. please, just kill me." he says, eyes tearing up.

-FLASHBACK END-

falco's eyes widen at the idea of reiner's desire.

"Officer Braun. i'll go bring help. it's not just enemies out there. me and gabi and everyone else are on your side. so you just wait right there, Officer Braun!"

ANOTHER POV:

jean and other of his comrades fly through the air. zeke's titan, the beast titan, draws his hand back, getting ready to throw another bunch of rocks.

"incoming!" jean yells as the building behind them gets destroyed, "son of a bitch!"

"hey! wait!" he yells to his comrades.

"i'll take him down!" one of the comrades says.

pieck shoots them with her machine gun, "don't worry, War Chief. we've got your back!"

"yeah!"

a soldier flies up above them, ready to throw a thunderspear.

"above!" shouts pieck.

"he's too high!" the person controlling the machine guns says.

porco jumps up, hitting the scout with his claw, killing him almost immediately.

"galliard, you're a lifesaver!"

"thanks, porky!"

"thanks a bunch!"

porco come out of his titan, "be careful!" he shouts, "i lost track of the two ackermans after they attacked! still kind of sad that leilani betrayed us," he quietly says at the end, "they're hiding somewhere!"

"what?" questions pieck, "porco! the warhammer!"

they watch as eren bites down on Lara's crystal, breaking his teeth in the process.

'this is the same as the crystal Annie made. looks like my teeth aren't gonna cut it here. but you've used up all your strength. if you had any left, you would've run me straight through, nape and all. you're out of cards to play.' eren thinks as he get out of his titan, 

"but i'm a different story," eren says aloud.

eren jumps off of his already used titan, biting his hand again, making a new one.

"that motherfucker," porco curses, "he's still got stamina left over?"

just then, a new lighting came from above.

'kehlani,' leilani thinks, smirking.

kehlani used her ODM to glide to the location. as she was in the air, she sliced her hand with her ring which had a blade.

"miss kehlani!" a military soldier shouts, "we're saved!"

oh how wrong was he.

the beast titan threw more rocks.

kehlani's titan protects eren while leilani attaches to her shoulder.

'leilani? kehlani?' levi thinks, 'since when were they..'

'isn't this the ice titan? isn't she on their side?' eren thinks.

"Eren Jaeger," zeke interrupts levi's thinking and eren's confusion, "is no match for me."

pieck's face is plastered with dullness as porco's is plastered with worry and fear.

"let's start with you. come out, levi." zeke says.

'levi? he's here?' leilani and kehlani share the same thoughts.

"you're running out of time, aren't you?", zeke continues.

said man looks at zeke. 

DIFFERENT POV:

"War Chief Zeke is unstoppable!" falco says while running.

"grice!" a voice shouts towards falco.

falco looks foward, "Captain Magath?"

"Captain! in the back of the plaza--" falco gets cut off by Magath grabbing his shoulders.

"what are you doing?" falco questions him.

"are you okay? have you been hurt?" Magath questions.

"no, sir!" falco responds.

"the hurry and get out of here!" Magath commands.

"sir, Officer Braun's at the back of the plaza!" falco informs him.

falco points into the direction of reiner, "he's stuck in the ground and he can't move!"

"what?"

"it's my fault. he was protecting me."

"who did that to him?" Magath asks.

"Eren... Jaeger."

falco looks up to see gabi, panting, while holding a gun.

-THE WARSHIPS-

"hurry up and dock! prepare to send soldiers to the Liberio internment zone! the battlefield has suffered catastrophic damage!" the captain yells as he turns to see another boat, in which was not supposed to be there.

he runs towards to ledge, "hey! a fishing boat shouldn't be out here! can't you see out fleet?!", nobody responds, "hello?" he says again.

the hooded figure on the boat removes their hood, revealing armin.

armin looks at the captain before lighting starts to radiate off of him.

a big explosion occurs as armin turns into the colossal titan, lighting still appearing.

"the... warships?" gabi asks.

"look alive!" Magath shouts, "you two need to get out of here!"

"Captain Magath, look..." gabi tells him, "they took out the port."

Magath grabs gabi as they walk away, falco following.

"the only thing that could to that..." pieck trails off as wind and pieces of wood fly everywhere, knocking Magath, gabi and falco off their feet.

"is the colossal titan," pieck finishes, "they are berdtoldt and stole his titan!"

"god damn it!" porco says, "i knew they didn't come here without a plan!" he states, going back into his titan, "just you try us, demons! once you lose the founder, it's all over for you!"

mikasa and leilani draw out their swords.

"great, another ackerman!" porco complains, thinking about the 3 ackermans, "outta my way!"

-WITH BEAST TITAN-

zipping can be heard from piecks left, "War Chief! They're coming around again!" pieck informs zeke.

the beast titan suddenly falls, startling pieck.

pieck turns as she sees two ackermans, levi and leilani.

levi cut his nape, not seeing leilani who lands on the beast titan's cheek, placing a thunderspear.

levi looks at her, "leilani?"

he then turns to Magath, gabi and falco who sit there.

"oh hello, levi." leilani says as the thunderspear is about to go off.

"mr.zeke!" gabi yells.

"gabi! get back!" Magath takes her out of the way as the thunderspear explodes.

"zeke.." pieck says softly.

"miss pieck! enemies incoming!" the soldier yells as pieck moves around, making it easier for the soldiers inside to shoot.

sasha kneels on one foot, making sure her rifle points into the direction of the soldier controlling the machine gun.

sasha shoots. the machine gun goes off for a few more seconds until it stops, signifying that the person inside had died.

pieck gasps.

"what's wrong?" the other soldiers controlling the maching gun asks

"hey, carlo..."

"talk to us, man!"

"carlo!"

pieck turns her titan into the direction of where the bullet came from, looking at sasha.

"how dare you?!" pieck says as she charges at her,

 as pieck charges at sasha, leilani and jean get onto the rooftop she's on.

"nice to see you again!" jean exclaims as leilani kept focus.

jean and leilani slide down the building, throwing their thunderspears at pieck.

"now! fire!" jean yells.

the soldiers throw their thunderspears at pieck's jaw titan.

"miss pieck!" the soldiers scream as they get consumed by the explosions.

"guys..." pieck says softly.

the soldiers fly away as pieck's titan leaves the fire and slams into a building. gabi, falco and Magath, who were by pieck, turn around to see the jaw titan on fire. their bodies tense and their eyes widen as they watch pieck's titan destroyed. 

"pieck!" Magath yells.

-ANOTHER POV-

 the sea is gone, the sea now turned into a pit of fire.

bodies of soldiers lay underneath the rubble of the broken down boats, dead.

armin, who seemed to get a hang of his abilities, takes a few steps foward, looking at the destruction.

armin slowly gets out of his titan, looking around in horror.

"so, this is what you saw on that day, berdtoldt.

- BACK TO FALCO-

"stop it already..." falco states.

"let's go! finish it off!" jean yells.

as jean tries to finish it off, falco stands infront of pieck, holding his arms out, "don't shoot! please just stop!" he says, crying.

jean's eyes fix themself on falco's glossy ones.

even though jean did feel bad, he had to do it. jean threw the thunderspear, then flying away. but he missed completely.

pieck then comes out of her titan, alerting falco.

"miss pieck!" falco says.

"it's the cart's human body!" a scout says.

falco holds pieck as pieck tells him to run away.

"miss pieck!" falco shouts.

"hurry..." pieck says.

-BACK TO EREN-

eren and kehlani's focus stays on porco, who is running ontop of building's roofs.

"first the War Chief, and now pieck!" porco complains, "damnit, damnit, damnit."

"damnit!" he yells, trying to kill eren with his claws.

as porco was close to laying a hand on eren, kehlani threw a punch at porco, startling eren by mistake. 

unfortunately, porco wrapped his legs around eren arm and sliced off the hand part.

porco scratched eren in the face and grabs his head. just as porco was about to deliver the final blow, kehlani took the crystal from eren and put it in front of porco, making him scratch the crystal instead.

leilani flies by and makes porco fly back. he then climbs ontop of the shard Lara's titan made.

mikasa then comes over, "he's fast.. he's totally different from Ymir's Jaw." she explains.

"so this is the power of the Jaw. interesting..." eren says.

-WITH FALCO AND PIECK-

"this is awful. her body isn't healing fast enough. but why? she has titan powers..." falco wonders.

"the cart titan isn't that sturdy. not like the armored titan." gabi says as she reminds herself about reiner, "what about reiner? where is he? you said Eren Jaeger got him and he can't move, right? can't he fight? well?" gabi yells at falco.

"i don't know. he's under the building behind the stage. but i... i thought maybe we could just leave him be!" falco yells back.

"what are you talking about?" gabi asks, "Eren Jaeger killed Udo and Zofia and so many other people." gabi tells him.

they stay silent as gabi stands up and starts walking to the window.

"hey! gabi!" the soldier protecting them says.

"don't go near the window! they'll see you!"

falco and gabi gasp when they see their most powerful titan, the ice titan, helping eren and most importantly, a blimp.

"captain! we have visual on the signal light."

-IN THE BLIMP-

armin, hange, and onyankopon visualize the situation while in the blimp.

"great. looks like everything's gone according to plan so far. we're counting on you, onyankopon." hange says.

"you got it, hange!" onyankopon confirms.

"enter the internment zone at low speed and low altitude. follow the trail of light and recover our allies. this'll be our only chance, so if anyone misses it, it's over for them. just like it will be if they shoot down out airship," hange explains as she then turns back to armin, "i swear, you come up with the craziest ideas. did erwin's ghost possess you or something?" she asks armin.

"i wish it had. maybe he'd give me strength," armin says, now looking out the airship's window, "now that it's come to this, if we can't recover eren and the others, we don't have a future."

hange agrees quietly and they keep inspecting.

"isn't that tsubasa and ackerman over there?" hange asks

"who and who?" armin questions the scientist.

"levi's sister and her bestfriend." hange says, then shaking her head, "nevermind, i forgot you don't know her."

-BACK ON THE GROUND-

on the roof stands jean, connie, sasha, and other comrades.

"here it comes, jean." connie says.

"yeah, right on time." jean responds.

"no way... are they planning to get away on that?" porco asks, "not on my watch!"

porco's titan then starts to charge at something, not sure of what though, but as he jumps off the building, mikasa and leilani cut off his legs, making him land infront of eren and kehlani.

kehlani gets a grip on his head, "sorry, porky," she says before throwing him like a ragdoll.

eren's titan then grabs one of porco's arm, placing his foot on porco's back in the process, ripping off his arm. then ripping off another.

kehlani slowly places the crystal which had Lara into his mouth, her facial expression turning into a sad one.

"huh?" porco gasps.

"i'm sorry, porco. forgive me." kehlani apologizes.

eren then lifts up porco's titan by the head, using all his force to close his mouth to break the crystal.

"h-hey.. you're kidding me..." porco says, the crystal slowly but surely breaking, "stop it.. don't do this! don't do this!" porco pleads.

gabi and falco eyes widen at the sigh of porco's head about to be crushed and Lara about to be eaten. but none other than the fact that their most powerful titan and soldier, kehlani and leilani, betrayed them.

"stop it, please!" porco yells as the crystal finally breaks, and eren's titan drinking Lara's blood like some sort of tropical juice.

"what just happened..?" gabi asks.

"the warhammer's been eaten." the soldier says as gabi's eyes widen, "and the Jaw is next."

eren then slams down porco's titan head, making kehlani quietly whimper. leilani, who noticed this, goes over to kehlani's shoulder in some sort of comfort. as an ackerman, they're not sure how to comfort, but they try.

eren repeats this multiple times.

"no.." falco says.

"not Mr.Galliard, too..." gabi says.

"no.. he can't" gabi says as falco looks at her.

"REINERRRRR! gabi screams, "HELP US! MR.GALLIARD'S GONNA BE EATEN! HELP US!"

gabi kept screaming as reiner, who gained conscious, want's to die in peace.

'shut up,' reiner says in his mind, 'just be quiet.'

"REINERRRR!" falco starts screaming as well.

"REINERRRR!"

'please, just be quiet.'

"HELP US!"

"REINER!"

"hey, knock it off!"

"stop it, you kids!"

"REINERRR!"

'why.' reiner says in his head, again, 'why can't you just..' reiner opens his eyes.

just as eren was going to eat porco, a lightning came from behind, making kehlanie and eren's titan look back, seeing the armored titan.

'let me' reiner starts in his mind, 'die in peace?'

TO BE CONTINUED...
