Auruo, Eren, and Rainbow Dash sat along the north-side of the edge of Wall Rose, watching as Ymir was hoisted up in a stretcher by two soldiers pulling it up with ropes. Many other soldiers had gathered along the wall. Working to take their next plan of finding the hole in the wall into action, the top of the wall was bustling as more and more soldiers climbed up.

“How’s Ymir doing?” Eren asked Auruo.

“Well,” he answered, “she’s got her arm and leg cut off, and it looks like she broke nearly every bone in her body. A normal person would have been long dead by now.”

“Well,” Rainbow Dash said, “she certainly isn’t normal.”

“That she isn’t.”

“What do you think is going to happen to her? Pinkie and the others that were with them at that castle up there said that she saved them all. They better not try and dissect her like they tried to do with Eren.”

“I can’t really say,” Auruo sighed, “but we’re going to do all that we can to help her… or at the very least understand her motives.”

The chink sound of a metal hook latching into the wall broke Eren’s attention. As he looked over the wall, he saw Reiner coming up and walking along the walls edge.

“Here, Reiner,” Eren called, putting his hand out to pull him up, “take my hand!”

“Thanks,” grunted Reiner as he held on to Eren’s hand.

As Eren pulled him up, Rainbow Dash flew around behind Reiner and gently pushed him forwards away from the edge. Following right behind Reiner was Bertolt.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Hanji walked along the wall’s edge, Historia following her from behind.

“You have to believe me!” Historia begged. “Ymir saved us all in her titan form. She even risked her life to save all of us. How much more proof do you need that she’s on our side? Listen, I know she kept information from all of us as a means of saving herself, but she’d changed. She’s our ally now! I’ve known her for much longer than you have, and I can assure you that she’s a lot simpler than she may seem.”

Hanji stopped, considering the words she would say to Historia.

“Don’t get me wrong,” spoke Hanji, “as much as I’d want her to be our friend and ally, she has information that could be vital to the survival of the human race. We want nothing more than to be on good terms with her. She herself may be a simple person, but that’s not how things work around here. Eren showed himself to be a titan, and he was nearly executed for it.”

“What?” Historia shouted. “You aren’t going to let that happen, are you?”

“We’ll do all that we can, but for now, she needs to rest. She took a beating back there, and she needs to heal. Thank goodness she has those titan abilities as well, otherwise, she’d be dead by now.”

As Hanji and Historia continued walking, they came close to the stretcher where Ymir laid. Crouching by her side was Petra, Pinkie Pie, and Kirill. Ymir was wrapped snugly in a Scouting Legion cloak.

“And what did you say your name was again?” Hanji asked. “Historia Renz?”

“Yes,” she answered.

“Like that noble family?”

“Yes.”

“I see… Well,” Hanji said, patting Historia on her shoulder, “it’s nice to meet you. Now then…”

Pinkie Pie turned her head to see Hanji, taking a sigh of relief upon seeing her, glad to have lived to reunite. Historia knelt down beside her, wanting to be by Ymir’s side.

“How is Ymir?” asked Hanji.

“She’s stopped bleeding,” Petra reported, “but the vapor pouring out of her arm and leg indicate that she’s still healing. How much longer do you think it will take her to fully recover?”

“Let me see.”

Hanji knelt down and felt around the body, noting any abnormal bends and depressions caused by broken limbs for ribs. The arm and leg were a no-brainer; from the amount of times she’d seen Eren hurt himself and heal, Hanji knew it would take the same time for her.

“I estimate that her arm and leg will grow back within a few hours. Her other broken bones should be healed long before then. Either way, she needs to be taken to the Trost district where she can be provided with proper treatment.”

“Yes, ma’am,” said one of the other soldiers.

As Hanji turned back towards the soldiers climbing the wall, Pinkie Pie got up and followed her.

“Hey, Pinkie,” Hanji greeted. “So, I’ve heard you had quite the adventure.”

“Yeah,” Pinkie Pie said, “but I’m glad you’re here now. I really missed you, Hanji.”

“I missed you too,” she replied with a heartened smile. “Would you mind telling me all about it as we go look for that breach?”

“Would I?!”

“Hmhmhm. That’s the spirit.”

Further west, Eren put arm out for Mikasa and pulled her up while Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy held Armin, Applejack, and Jean, respectively, under the armpits and fluttered them up to the top of the wall, delicately dropping them off. Reiner sat cross-legged on the center of the wall, looking at his bandaged arm. Bertolt stood above him, staying by his side.

“Ow, dammit,” he growled.

“Reiner?” Eren questioned. “Are you alright?”

“No, I’m not,” he answered. “My arm’s been crunched by a titan. Dammit… I seriously thought I wasn't going to make it.”

Eren couldn’t help but note how depressed Reiner looked about his brushes with death.

“So even someone as big and strong as you had trouble, huh?” asked Eren jokingly.

“Strong, huh?” Reiner responded, clearly not in a jesting mood. “This is the second time I was nearly killed by a titan. First the Female Titan, and now there at Castle Utgard. At this rate, I’ll be on my way to the grave in no time. I know it was my choice and duty as a soldier, but I’m feeling that my heart and soul will collapse before my body will. I guess there’s no point in harping on it until we plug up the wall…”

Just then, the sound of wire piercing into the wall was heard again, and Eren and Armin both grabbed a hand of the person who was coming up. Reiner and Bertolt were stunned to see Annie be hoisted up and to her feet.

“Are you alright?” Armin asked her.

“I’m fine,” she said, brushing her cloak off with her hand.

What shocked Reiner even more was that she now wore the brand of the Scouting Legion as opposed to the Military Police whom she previously joined.

Annie walked up to the two, scaring them.

“What’s the matter with you two?” wondered Annie. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Reiner stood up, walking away from the soldiers. Annie followed them right away. As Eren walked forwards to see what was happening, Annie stopped and put her arm out.

“Eren,” Annie advised. “Leave this to me. This is business solely between Reiner, Bertolt, and I.”

Eren stood motionless as Annie went on ahead, confusing him.

“What do you think that’s all about?” Rainbow Dash asked Eren, fluttering alongside him.

“I don’t know,” Eren trembled, “but why does Annie need to talk to Bertolt and Reiner? You don’t think that they–”

“Relax, dude. I remember that they were chums during the Trost invasion. She’s probably just explaining why she’s fighting on our side now.”

“Yeah, but… why those two specifically?”

Eren and Rainbow Dash’s discussion went out of earshot from Annie, Reiner, and Bertolt, who were likewise out of earshot from the others.

“Annie,” growled Reiner. “What are you doing here? Why are you wearing that cloak and that jacket?”

“Because I am no longer a warrior,” she answered. “I choose to fight as a soldier for the Scouting Legion.”

“You’re crazy! Don’t you care what happens to your father?”

“The ponies have agreed to bring me safely to my father if I agree to assist them in saving humanity.”

“But Annie…”

“But nothing. These ponies have shown me that we won’t achieve peace through this violence. The fact that they spared me instead of killing me outright is a testament to that.”

“Then allow me to do the honors,” Reiner growled as he cracked his knuckles.

“Wait, stop!” hissed Bertolt, grabbing him by the chest and back. “We can’t do this here. If we get caught here, they might kill us!”

“No one’s going to kill anyone,” Annie stated. “I haven’t told anyone about who you really are yet, but I’m certain that Twilight will help you escape a death sentence if you join us.”

Reiner and Bertolt looked nervous, the latter in particular gulping with worry.

“Is everyone here?” called Hanji as she walked towards the gathered soldiers as Conny, Sasha, Rarity, and Spike were helped up. “We’re going to deal with Ymir later. Right now, we need to put a plan together to close the breach.”

Hanji looked down to see a group of soldiers riding along the north side of the wall. She studied them, seeing that they were soldiers from the Garrison. Mikasa looked down as well, able to recognize the one with short, blonde hair and a thin moustache.

“Hannes?” Mikasa wondered.

“It’s the vanguard of the Garrison,” Hanji said. “They must be here to tell us where the breach is.”

“Someone help him up. He’ll need it.”

Mikasa ran towards Eren and Armin to tell them of Hannes’ arrival. Pinkie Pie and Hanji looked over to see as Hannes below dismounted his horse and begun to ascend the wall on his 3D Maneuver Gear. Not long after, Eren, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Armin, Twilight, and Spike came over to see Hannes.

As other soldiers came and gathered to hear the news, Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie knew that their discussion would have to wait.

“This isn’t over,” Reiner warned as he and Bertolt passed by Annie.

As Hannes launched his hook into the closest space in the wall that he could, Eren knelt down and pulled him up. While Hannes smiled at Eren, happy to see him alive once again, he looked his and his friends’ pony partners with shock.

“It’s you…” he gasped.

“Captain Hannes,” Hanji spoke, giving him the Military salute, “I trust that you have searched the wall for a breach.”

“Correct,” he answered.

“And where is the location of the breach?”

Hannes paused, unsure if he should reveal the awful truth to them. It couldn’t be helped.

“There is no breach anywhere,” he said.

The crowd of soldiers erupted in murmurs and gasped, confused by the news. We’ve been searching all night for anything wrong with the wall in between the Chlorba and Trost districts. There’s nothing.”

“What was that?” Hanji asked for clarification.

“We crossed paths with the Garrison soldiers from Chlorba and we even looked at the part of the wall that they passed, just to be sure. Not only that, but we haven’t come across a single titan.

“But we’ve seen titans,” Armin stated. “They were inside the wall too.”

“Are you sure you searched the wall thoroughly?” Eren asked. “You aren’t drunk, are you?”

“I would never drink at a time like this!” Hannes shouted. “Come to think of it, why are you guys here?”

“Several of our soldiers were caught in the chaos without their Gears or uniforms,” Armin said. “We returned from Stohess to bring their things to them.”

“I can see that. But wasn’t Eren supposed to be taken to the Inner District?”

“Yes,” Mikasa responded, moving her glance towards where she last saw Annie, “but we had run into… unforeseen problems.”

“It’s a long story,” Rainbow Dash interrupted, “but we’re here now. That’s all that matters.”

Hannes was surprised again to hear Rainbow Dash speak, but didn’t want to show it. He could clearly see that these ponies were friends of Eren’s, and he didn’t want to insult either of them.

“If that’s the case,” Hanji concluded, “then we’re going to have to call the operation off. For now, we’ll go on standby in the Trost district. Let’s get going!”

“Yes, ma’am!” the soldiers all replied.

“Conny Springer,” called Hanji, “Kr– Historia Renz, Reiner Braun, Bertolt Hoover, Pinkie Pie, come to me and collect your 3D Maneuver Gears and uniforms!”

“They brought our things?” Conny asked, running off to follow Hanji, along with Pinkie Pie, Bertolt, Reiner, and the others.

Annie kept her eyes trained on Reiner and Bertolt like a cat upon a mouse. Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight, and Spike stayed put to catch up with Hannes.

“So,” Hannes said, breaking the tension, “this is the first time I really get to meet you ponies.”

“Well, I’m glad I finally got to meet ya’, Hannes,” Applejack responded, putting her hoof out. “Mikasa’s told me lots about you. I’m Applejack. It’s gonna’ be a pleasure workin’ with ya’.”

Hannes took the pony’s hoof, shaking it with vigor.

“And such a strong hand– or hoof on you,” he complimented, “Sorry…”

“Huhuhuh,” chuckled Applejack. “It’s alright, common mistake. I bet it ain’t every day you get to talk with a pony.”

“Right, hehe…”

“I’m Rainbow Dash,” declared the blue pegasus, flying up and throwing her hoof in Hanne’s hand, “fastest flyer in this world.”

“Really?” whispered Applejack in disgust at her lack of humility. “Have ya’ ever seen Levi on his Maneuver Gear.”

“It’s very good to meet you as well, Rainbow Dash. Are you and your friends taking good care of these kids.”

“They are,” Eren vouched, “especially Rainbow Dash. She’s one of the best friends anyone could ever ask for.”

Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but smile and blush profusely especially as she looked at Eren as he spoke.

“Hmhmhm,” giggled Hannes, “looks like someone has a bit of a crush on you.”

Rainbow Dash, recognizing this, tried to shake her head and conceal her flushed cheeks. Eren turned to Rainbow Dash, having felt her mane on his head as she whipped her head around.

“I…” Rainbow Dash muttered sheepishly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Eren, knowing how Rainbow Dash felt, gave a small but thankful smile which Rainbow Dash couldn’t see as she tried to look away to conceal her emotions.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle,” greeted Twilight as she stepped forwards, “and this is one of my oldest friends, Spike.”

As Twilight allowed Hannes to shake her hoof, Reiner and Bertolt came towards Eren and his friends while Annie approached them.

“We’ll discuss this away from the others,” said Annie. “The others won’t even have to know what you really are.”

“Hey,” Reiner grunted, “what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Quiet. It looks like Eren and the others are finishing up.”

Hannes stood back up after kneeling down to shake Spike’s hand.

“We’ll be following you guys to Trost,” Hannes said. “We’ll see you over there.”

“Yeah,” Eren responded. “Good luck.”

Hannes walked up to the north edge of the wall, faced the south and jumped off. Armin watched as Hannes rappelled down towards his waiting soldiers on the ground.

“Just what is going on?” wondered Eren.

“All of these strange things happen one after the other,” Armin stated.

“Twilight,” Annie called, walking up to the group with Bertolt and Reiner behind, “go Erwin’s cart and fetch two syringes.”

“What? What do you–”

With the two people that were behind Annie, Twilight made the connection almost immediately. Not wanting to fumble a potentially deadly situation or betray her realization, she shook out her fears.

“Right away, Annie!” she answered.

Twilight flew up and down to the ground where her antidote would be. Reiner and Bertolt looked extremely nervous now. Eren too couldn’t understand what was going on.

“What?” Eren asked. “Why is Twilight getting syringes?”

“Because,” Annie stated, “there are some interesting things you should know about your good friends Reiner and Bertolt. They are the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan.”

The silence was long and the tensions and confusions were rising. None of the other humans, ponies, nor dragon could understand what Annie meant by these words.

“Reiner? Bertolt? The Armored and Colossal Titans?” Eren gasped, still in complete disbelief by the news. “That’s insane. There’s no way that can be. Can it, Reiner?”

Reiner looked down where Twilight would be, still anxious about what would be in the syringes for them.

“What’s in those needles that Twilight’s getting?” asked Bertolt.

“They won’t kill you if that’s what you’re worried about,” Annie answered. “But once we administer what’s in them into you, you won’t be able to transform into titans any longer, just like they did with me.”

“Just like they did with–” wondered Reiner, who smiled once he realized it. “I see. So you had your titan abilities stolen from you, and with your back against the wall, you turned on your own kind and your home.”

“She didn’t do nothing of the sort!” Applejack answered, her hoof pounding on the word “sort.”

“It’s true,” Armin spoke. “Annie was prepared to take all that she knew with her to the grave. It was only when Twilight offered to save her that she decided to come with us.”

“Wha…” Eren mumbled, unable to process all the information, “how? Reiner, you were never told about the Female Titan’s identity that night. How did you find out?”

Twilight soared over the hill and quickly landed by Armin’s side, a case of syringes at the ready.

“It goes even further than that,” Annie spoke. “Armin, Twilight, the day of your expedition, did anything strike you as odd after Reiner escaped my grasp?”

Armin gasped at being put on the spot.

“Well,” remembered Armin, “after Reiner freed herself from the Female Titan’s hand, she stopped chasing us and went out to where Eren’s squad would be.”

“And how else would I have known that?” Annie prodded further. “What do you think I was doing looking at my hand back there?”

Armin thought about how to answer, but no words seemed to come out, afraid that he was wrong.

“Don’t hesitate,” egged Annie. “The answer is as simple as you might think.”

“Did he…” Armin guess, “carve Eren’s location into your hand?”

Annie nodded. Reiner growled, his identity becoming clearer and clearer by the second.

“Wait!” exclaimed Twilight. “I’m lost. Can Reiner and Bertolt transform into titans?”

“Yes they can,,” Mikasa answered with a raging frown. “Bertolt is the Colossal Titan, the one who destroyed the gates to Trost and Shiganshina, and Reiner is the Armored Titan, who destroyed the gate to Wall Maria.”

Twilight’s eyes narrowed, looking to the two accused soldiers in disbelief.

“No,” Eren shouted, “I refuse to believe it! Reiner! Bertolt! You aren’t just going to stand here and let them accuse you of this, are you?”

Reiner bowed his head. He knew denying it would be pointless with Annie breathing down his neck, even if he’d have Mikasa to deal with if he did. Regardless, he knew it couldn’t end, not like this.

“No, it’s true,” Reiner admitted. “We are indeed the Armored and Colossal Titans.”

“Reiner…” gasped Bertolt, unsure why his friend would confess. “Why are you–”

“Listen,” Reiner said, “our first objective was to destroy humanity, but now, all we need is you, Eren. If you come with us, we will never touch the walls again.”

“Huh?” Eren exclaimed. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m sorry that I can’t explain it further, but we need to go now.”

“You’re not going anywhere!” Annie ordered. “Twilight, get them out.”

“Right!” affirmed Twilight as she began to open the case that she held in her magic.

Reiner focused his vision on the case. Just as Twilight opened it, Reiner twisted his body and put his leg up, kicking the case right along its side. The others gasped as pieces of broken wood and glass, as well as many droplets of the antidote fell over the side of the wall. Annie, quick as she could, unsheathed her sword and pointed the blade at Reiner’s throat, who now remained stoic in the face of death.

From further east along the wall, Hanji turned to see Annie pointing her sword at Reiner.

“Hey!” she yelled, running out to the area.

Her shout brought more attention to the other soldiers, who themselves were finishing putting their uniforms, harnesses and gears on.

“You stupid son of a bitch,” Annie hissed. “Do you really want to continue fighting this? We offered you a way out, but you literally sent it plummeting to the ground.”

“There is no other way, Annie,” Reiner growled. “Humanity will never live the way it’s going now. We’re the only ones who can fix it now.”

“Annie!” shouted Hanji, who came up with several other soldiers. “Just what do you think you’re doing?”

“Hanji!” called Twilight as she soared up and over Reiner and Bertolt and on the floor again in between Hanji and the others. “Annie isn’t double-crossing us. Reiner has confessed that he and Bertolt are the Armored and Colossal Titans that destroyed the gates of Shiganshina and Wall Maria.”

Hanji and the soldiers behind her gasped, frightened by this news. Pinkie Pie broke in through the crowd and next to Conny, now suited up and equipped, so she could get a good look at Reiner.

“Wait,” Pinkie Pie asked, “what’s going on?”

Reiner and Bertolt looked behind him at the soldiers gathering behind them. Both of them had looks of anguish on their shocked, sad, and angry faces, now knowing what they were.

“It was easy for me,” Annie spoke to the two soldiers. “I didn’t make many friends, so killing all those people back then wasn’t very difficult. You, on the other hand… Could you really allow the friends that you’ve made to die by your hands? Do you really want to send good, innocent people to their deaths because of select individuals?”

Reiner turned and looked to the others, especially Conny and Pinkie Pie, who looked at Reiner with hurt, betrayed frowns and moistening eyes. Reiner’s eyes also began to water, a few of his tears falling from his eyes. Twilight knew this was her chance.

“Hanji,” whispered Twilight, “do you still have any syringes on you?”

“I do,” she replied, “but I wanted to use it if we were on the go, so to speak. What happened to the cases in the cart below?”

“Reiner kicked it away when I opened one of them. Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll cure Reiner first. Bertolt looks like he’d be more willing to allow himself an injection if I can give the same deal to him as I did Annie.”

“Alright,” Hanji said, “here.”

Hanji slipped a box from a pocket inside her jacket, giving it to Twilight as she opened the case and took the syringe out.

“You’re right…” Reiner answered to Annie. “We did make friends… with these fools. For three goddamned years… I’ve been living with these fools. If only I’d never met them, I wouldn’t become the worthless bastard that I am now.”

Reiner began to take the makeshift sling on his shoulder off, unwrapping it from his arm. Twilight aimed the needle carefully, making sure she could strike diligently in the most crucial spot without moving and being noticed by either Reiner or Bertolt.

“I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong anymore,” Reiner stated, “but what I do know is that whatever the results of my actions and the consequences that follow…”

Reiner’s bite wound was now visible, but for all its gore and blood, it was the vapor that began to pour from the hand that scared the other soldiers, the confirmation of his identity all but absolute. Pinkie Pie looked especially terrified.

“…as a warrior,” Reiner concluded, “I have to take responsibility for it and fulfill my duty until the end!”

Bertolt looked behind him at the horrified faces of his friends. Just then, he saw a syringe floating in the air near Reiner’s neck, encased in a magenta aura. Twilight realized that he saw it, but before she could plunge the needle in, Bertolt grabbed hold of it, his hand wrestling to prevent the syringe’s movements.

At the same moment, Reiner grabbed Annie’s sword by the blade and kicked Annie in the ribs as quickly as he could. With no time to prepare herself, Annie was forced off the side of the wall and fell. Bertolt manage to grab the syringe with both hands, his fingers under the plunger. With a hard pull, the entire plunger was forced out of the barrel, rendering it useless.

As Annie hooked into the wall and ran up as fast as her wire could belay her, Reiner advanced towards Eren, enraging Mikasa.

“Soldiers!” Hanji shouted. “Prepare for battle!”

The armed soldiers and ponies drew their swords, ready to strike the two traitors down.

“As a friend,” Reiner stated, “I wanted to ask you. But now, I have no choice but to take you.”

Mikasa practically leapt over Eren as she swung her right blade at Reiner’s head. Reiner placed his hands up in autonomic reaction. Mikasa’s blade cut straight through Reiner’s right forearm as the blade continued its path into Reiner’s left hand. The blade cut into the center and moved through the center of his arm, splitting it down the middle towards his elbow. Twilight, seeing the gruesome sight, stopped her spell, shuddering at Reiner's mutilated arm.

“REINER!” Bertolt screamed.

Mikasa, with her left sword, dug her blade halfway into Bertolt’s wrist as well as the side of his neck. Bertolt leaned as hard as he could in the direction of the blade’s swing, making it the only part of his body that got cut. Mikasa looked to the two wounded soldiers and assessed who should be killed first. Annie hung to the wall just below the top of it, knowing what would be coming any moment now.

Reiner and Bertolt screamed in agony from the searing pain shooting into their arms as well as Bertolt’s neck. As Bertolt tried to get up, Mikasa stomped on Bertolt’s neck, keeping her weight on it and crushing his throat.

“EREN!” she shouted as she aimed the tip of her sword at Bertolt’s head. “RUN!”

Just before Mikasa could drive her sword into Bertolt, Reiner checked his body into Mikasa, sending her over the south edge of Wall Rose. The other soldiers tensed up, anticipating Hanji’s orders to attack. As Reiner stood before Eren and Bertolt stood before his friends behind him, Applejack and Rainbow Dash glared at the two with furious scowls, ready to charge. Just then, Reiner’s left arm and Bertolt’s right hand tensed up, a spark appearing from their wounds.

Reiner and Bertolt burst into large masses of light, the force blowing all of the soldiers back, some of them tumbling off the wall. Annie watched from the side of the wall as dust and pieces of the wall, blew from the top. Annie looked down at the carts below and the soldiers wondering what was going on. Knowing the remains of the antidote were there, she unhooked herself from the wall and swung down.

In Reiner’s place, a titan emerged from the light formed. Most of its body was covered in a skin-colored plating that had parts of exposed muscle for its body to move. The two platings where the face and jaw met to form a mouth was zig-zagged in shape. Its hair was similar to Reiner’s but it was a greyish white instead of Reiner’s blonde hair. Its eyes were nothing but two bright holes of white.

Bertolt transformed into a titan similar to the titan that was inside Wall Sina. Most of its exterior looked to be made entirely from muscle other than its head, which featured a thin line of skin that wrapped over various parts of its face and head, including along the side of the jaw, around the mouth, a nose, ears, and the forehead up to the back of its head. Without cheeks, almost every tooth in its jaws was visible. However, only half of the body formed, its ribcage piercing into the sides of the wall, anchoring itself on. Even in this form, the Colossal Titan’s half formed body was still as tall as the Armored Titan’s standing up.

The Armored Titan, in Eren’s moment of confusion, grabbed Eren, who quickly tried to pull himself out. Rainbow Dash, fearful for his life, flew as quickly as she could behind the Armored Titan’s neck.

“Oh no you don’t!” she screamed, swinging her swords at her back.

To her shock and terror, instead of hearing the slice of the Armored Titan’s skin, she heard the sound of her blades breaking off near the base. Looking back at the neck, there were two small, barely-noticeable scratches on the surface.

They weren’t kidding when they said he was the Armored Titan! she thought.

A little more down the wall to the east, Ymir’s stretcher was blown away by the Colossal Titan’s transformation. The Colossal Titan saw Ymir about to fly off, reaching out with its humongous hands and grabbing the stretcher. Historia, who laid on her stomach to prevent herself from blowing off the wall, watched as Ymir was taken from her.

“YMIR!” she shouted.

With the Armored Titan not minding Rainbow Dash or her attack on it, it turned towards the south and jumped off the wall, sliding down it on its free hand and left leg, taking Eren with it.

“EREN!” shouted Armin, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight, and Spike.

Eren continued to break free, his tears falling from his eyes. As his mind flooded with happier times with Reiner and Bertolt when they were trainees, it only served to increase Eren’s rage, knowing that two of his good friends were the ones who nearly ruined his life.

“Reiner…” Eren growled, “Bertolt… I’m going to kill you! YOU FUCKING TRAITORS!”

Mikasa watched as the Armored Titan fell down the wall with Eren in its grasp. Eren took his hand off of the Armored Titan’s and placed it in his mouth. With his anger and fury reaching a point he had never experienced, Eren’s teeth bit down into his hand until he heard the bone crunch like autumn leaves.

A bright light emanated from the Armored Titan’s hand as it exploded, blowing its arm off to the elbow. Everyone else that managed to stay on the wall looked to the side to see Eren’s titan forming as it fell alongside the Armored Titan, knowing a fight would begin the second their feet hit the ground.
