Attack on Titan x Reader: Aim for the Top [Ch. 9]

[Attack on Titan x Levi's Sister!Reader]

 

     "I won't tell you all of it, but I'll tell you."

 

     [Name] stared at their surprised faces, obviously shocked that she was alive. Several thoughts ran through the small groups mind, [Name]'s too. The pictures of her being swallowed up by the bearded Titan still lingered in her head. It was a horrifying experience, the thought of dying within the hands of the Titan. It scared her, but she would of died with her friend Eren, with someone. Better to die with someone than no one, right? she thought. [Name] looked at her friends, who were recovering from their gawking. "You better be listening, because we need to hurry."

  

     [Name] opened her eyes again, and still felt the weight of Eren in her arms. Her eyes widened as she barely saw the pinkish walls of skin fly past her. Darkness was around the two cadets, and she couldn't tell where they were heading. Her grip tighten on Eren, who was groaning loudly. 

     The girl held back a sob as she heard her friend, not wanting her last moments to end like this. I don't want to die, she thought timidly. But, death was the most of the people's fate once they joined the military. The death rate during the years of training was slim, but once you get out, it increases greatly. They say that the death rate when joining the Survey Corps is more than the Military Police and the Garrison combined, [Name] thought. Or so I heard. 

 

     [Name] hugged Eren closely to her, and she could tell they were nearing the stomach of the Titan. If they even have one. She could hear the faint sound of liquid moving, and a glow was below her. Bubbling was also heard. As [Name] neared the source, steam surrounded her. She whimpered slightly, feeling it heat up her skin. But we accomplished so much...

     [Name] then quickly twisted her body to her handgrips, and quickly grabbed one of them. She pressed the trigger, feeling sweat on her hands as she did. She waited for the sound of the wires shooting out, but it didn't come. Instead, was a clicking sound. "Shit!" she shouted. 

     Her equipment was jammed. And her blades have fallen out. [Name] growled and cried silently as she tossed her handgrips aside, leaving them dangling at her side. I guess I'll end like this, with Eren.

 

     The two trainees hit the red liquid, and [Name] immediately screamed out in pain. The burning sensation hit her back, and she could feel the liquid leak through her shirt, the acid touching her back. The bottom of her green cloak started to burn from the bottom tip, slowly making it's way to the other tip. [Name] felt tears coming on, and she gripped Eren tightly. 

     [Name] felt bodies bump into her as they floated by her, and she grimaced at contact. She tried to move away, but the weight of her soaked clothes and her 3DMG simply kept her down. And there was no way she was taking them off, or drinking the liquid. "Disgusting..."

 

         

     Eren gasped as he found himself in a redish liquid. Steam hung over it, and he felt it touch his face, making a stinging sensation. Where...? he thought confusingly. He looked around, seeing bodies floating. His eyes widened and he backed away, only to bump into one. Fear came down on him, but he had multiple feelings. It was hard to decipher them, Eren was a man of determination, hard-headed. He screamed while looking around frantically, the faces of the dead at every direction. With the expressions of fear, some of them with mouths open, showing that the person died while screaming.

     Eren then noticed a familiar face floating not far from him. He quickly panicked and started to breathed unsteadily, ignoring the burning pain on his lower half. He made his way towards it, forgetting he had one leg. The liquid made it slightly easier to move, but it was also sticky. 

     He quickly grabbed to body, and hugged it with his usable arm. The person whimpered slightly, and his grip on her tightened. "[N-Name]," he said quietly to her, both in surprise and shock. How did she get here? The answers were simple once the events from earlier came in. His leg getting bitten, Armin almost getting eaten. Him saving the blonde, and the feeling of someone tackling him. Eren looked up at the darkness. Are we going to die?

     No, he thought quickly. He couldn't accept it. After the hard work, after training together with the others, with one will. Fighting, slicing, running, climbing. These past years, we have changed. Using every mental source, using all of that to beat these bastards. Eren whimpered. "To stop them from taking what was ours!"

     "Mom..." Eren's eyes widened once again, and he turned to the source of the voice. It wasn't [Name]'s, but a female floating a short distance from the two of them. The woman's head was faced away from him, but he could hear her clearly. "It's so hot. . . Mom, please save me."

     Mom, Eren repeated in his mind. A short flashback then came to him. It was one of those times when his mother was doing laundry on the roof. She was smiling peacefully, and was hanging a white sheet so that it could dry. A younger Eren was underneath it, and he popped out, him stretching out his mouth with his fingers. His mom giggled, which turned into loud laughter. Eren smiled, knowing that he had accomplished making his mother laugh.

     The body then sunk beneath the red surface, and Eren watched in horror. He brought [Name] closer to him, not wanting her to leave him, too. "Please, be alive [Name]," he said to him hopefully. 

     "E-Eren?" [Name] murmured. She opened her eyes slowly, and saw turquoise eyes staring at her. There were tears forming in his eyes, and they were soon streaming down his face. He then gasped and then hugged her as she stood up.

     "I'll do it," Eren growled by [Name]'s ears. Her eyes widened slightly. "I'll get us out. I'll exterminate them." The determination and disgust in his voice made it sound like he was promising it. The blood over his eyes slowly streamed down with his tears, making it seem like he's crying blood.

     "Every single fucking one of them!"

     [Name] stopped there, knowing what happened next. He saw the rest of the group staring at here, waiting to continue. She rolled her eyes at them, and turned on her heel, facing the supply building. "That's all I remember," she lied. She knew the truth of Eren. But, he would die if she told them. The information would spread like a wildfire, quickly making it's way to the Interior. "I also managed to fix my Maneuver Gear once I managed to get out of the Titan." 

 

     She turned her head slightly, and saw that Armin had one eyebrow raised. [Name] quickly turned back and grabbed her handgrips, and she gritted slightly. Damn it for Armin being smart. He knows I'm not telling something. "Stop staring at me. We gotta go," she said, hearing Armin quickly switch out Mikasa's supply with his, meaning him giving her his blades. [Name] turned back again, wondering why it was taking a little longer than usual. "And discard that dull blade, Armin."

 

     Mikasa walked over to Armin, who was staring at the broken blade. It reflected his face clearly, showing the blonde that he had the look of not wanting to die just yet. Mikasa stared at the blade in his hand, before snatching it out of his hand and throwing the blade off the building. Armin stared when the blade flew, eyes widened. "B-But," he started.

 

     "Armin," Mikasa called to him as she grabbed his hand. Armin turned to his friend, and [Name] watched as she saw the small scene play out. She could see the promise in Mikasa's dark eyes and the confidence. "I won't leave you behind."

 

     "But, with so many Titans around," Armin said confusingly. How were they going to take him with them? He stood up with the help of Mikasa and looked at them, seeing their faces in which showed no thinking or planning. "You can't possibly carry me along."

 

     [Name] rolled her eyes, scoffing as she heard that sentence. Connie then nodded to her, and she nodded back. Connie ran over to Armin, and quickly took his hand and started running. They were thinking the same thing. Just let Connie carry Armin. "Let's go!" he shouted. [Name] and the others were about to jump off and start flying, but Armin quickly yanked his arm away from Connie's grip. 

 

     Confused, they turned to the strategist. [Name] saw that he was planning something, he had that look in his eyes. She smirked slightly, knowing what he was going to do next. He was staring at the Rouge Titan, and [Name]'s eyes quickly moved to the same object as well. "I have a suggestion!" Armin announced to them. 

 

     "Suggestion?" Connie repeated. Armin nodded. He glanced at each of them, ending at [Name]. 

 

     "It's a two-man mission. I know it's crazy but, couldn't we use that Titan?" Armin suggested as he pointed to the Titan, who stood there, roaring in the distance. It seemed to have beaten up another Titan, because there was steam rising off of the ground. Their eyes traveled to the strange Titan, seeing that it was standing there. 

     Jean Kirstein looked at the Titans below him, who were all crowded in front of him. He stared at them, both in fear and in the loss of confidence. He saw the dead trainees' swords on the ground, covered in their own blood as it glistened in the sun. The noise of chewing flesh made it's way to Jean's ears, disturbing him. A few more trainees have died again. Can I really handle a position with this much responsibility?! he asked himself again. 

 

     He was losing confidence once again, and was slowly nearing the point where he would have to start at the beginning. The point where he would have to wait for someone to bring his confidence. Jean shut his eyes, thinking of what to do next. He then snapped them back open, realizing something he didn't notice before. 

 

     The Titans are relatively concentrated around there, he thought as he stared at the group of Titans below. They were distracted with their dead prey, in which they were still chewing on. Jean regretted killing them with him in the lead, but this was an opportunity for the rest of the remaining group. The others stared at the Titans while waiting for Jean's next order. 

 

     "GO! Hurry to the HQ while you can!" Jean shouted at them from his spot on the roof. He stared at them with narrowed eyes before running off the roof, landing on a close one below him. 

 

     Marco stared at his back as he ran across the roof. The freckled man looked at his feet before looking up again, trusting his comrade. This was the Jean he was waiting for, the one he knew that would be good in command. He quickly ran forward after his friend, Sasha behind him. I trust you, Jean. 

     Jean stared on ahead, only focusing on the building. It's now or never, we'll be finished if our gas runs out! The sound of the roof being ran on sounded below him, and he quickly glanced back to check if they were following him. They were. He sighed in relief. "Everyone! Move in!" he commanded. He pushed himself off the ledge of a building, the large group copying the same actions. 

     Titans stood ahead of them, and the group quickly maneuvered their way around them. The giants reached out towards them, but were avoided quickly. However, one managed to catch Jean's leg. His eyes widened as he felt the large finger grip his leg. Panicked, he quickly swung his swords, cutting the finger. The piece fell to the ground, and Jean quickly launched forward with the remaining gas. He quickly glanced down at his leg, still feeling the pressure of the Titan's finger there, but there was nothing. 

 

     He then landed on a roof, and ran across it quickly as possible. He, along with the others, could see the building nearing by the minute. It was still covered in Titans, but you could see part of the grey walls still intact. The windows were free, and showed that they were just waiting for it to be broken.

 

     "Jean!"

 

     Marco landed beside his friend, and he ran next to him at the same pace. He smiled at him thankfully, seeing his expression. "Thank you. Because of you, I got out." Marco was grateful. Jean taking command made him feel at ease, knowing that he would do his best in trying to get out. Jean let out a small 'huh?' in confusion. Marco chuckled. He oblivious to others resolves, isn't he? Marco thought playfully. 

 

     "Marco means that your basically good to be a leader. Got it?" 

 

     Someone landed beside the two of them, and they both saw something green fluttering beside them. Jean looked at the person who landed beside the both of them, wanting to ask who this person is. But as he opened his mouth and moved to the face, he froze. 

 

     Confused, Marco looked as well. He turned his head to his right curiously, and he also was gaping. His eyes widened, and he wanted to hug the person right now. "[NAME]!" he and Jean exclaimed at the same time. [Name] smiled at them both. The feeling of relief flooded over them, seeing that their friend was alive. 

 

     

     "Hey, long time no see," she greeted them smoothly. 

 

     [Name] saw Jean's eyebrow twitch, and she smirked and chuckled slightly. "Long time no see?!" the copper-blonde repeated. "Armin told us you died! You know how worried we were about you?! I was depressed you know!" She just laughed at his reaction. Hearing him say that was sometimes rare, but it showed that he cared. 

 

     "[Name]," Marco said seriously. "I would hug you, but-"

 

     "We're running on a roof. And you have blades in your hands, I'm fine." [Name] then looked ahead, and the building was just ahead. She heard Jean scoff, but knew that they were both grinning. She would smile too, but the sight of Titans in front of her prevented her. The memory of her and Eren getting eaten once again played in her mind. But, thanks to Eren...

 

     [Name] quickly jumped ahead, wanting to kill a nearby Titan. Marco called out to her, but she ignored it and raised her swords. The wind rushed up at her, making her hair sway behind her. Deciding on which technique to use, she quickly dived down and spun vertically downwards. [Name] felt the swords bend as they cut into the flesh, and the Titan slowly started to fall. 

     She then turned back to go back to Marco and Jean, but then saw a Titan swing it's arm out, sticking out in the path of a trainee's route not far behind them. Her eyes widened as she saw blood spurt from the Titan's hand as it hit the poor cadet, and she quickly launched forward, avoiding Jean and Marco, wanting to kill the Titan for killing a fellow trainee. The death of a comrade made [Name] want to kill every single thing in her path, but she quickly pulled back. 

 

     No, she stopped herself. If I do that, others will die. [Name] gritted, and she quickly headed towards the duo, who were now going for an opening in at the building with the others. The screaming of the cadet still echoed in her head, but she eventually pushed it away. "Oi, [Name]!" she heard Jean say. The said person turned her head towards the copper-blonde, and saw him looking at her anxiously.

 

     "We're going to hit the windows!" Marco cut in. "D-don't get injured or anything like that, okay?" he shouted at her worriedly. She just laughed it off, knowing that probably wasn't possible right now in this situation. Marco gave her a confused look. 

 

     "Oh, Marco. My friend, we're hitting glass here. I can't promise that I won't get hurt," [Name] shouted with a smile. She then raised her feet, aiming for a certain window. She then looked around, seeing the others were following the same action. [Name] then put her arms up, but anticipated at the wrong time. 

 

     Just a split second before, she had hit the window already. The glass quickly grew cracks in it, and broke open. The sound of the breaking glass echoed in the room and flew everywhere. The glass shards hit [Name], one nearly missing her eye. She felt it cut right above it. She shut her eyes just in case it happened again, and she hit the cold wooden floor. Her shoulder hit the floor, sending up pain. [Name] rolled a few times, and she felt her own blade cut into her cheek. 

 

     She quickly bit her cheek, to prevent her from screaming but immediately regretted doing so. The pain from the cut the sword gave her increased, and she cried out a little. She stopped rolling and [Name] heard the others quickly crash in as well. [Name] heard the broken pieces of the glass hit the floor, echoing throughout the wooden boards to her. 

 

     Sasha noticed [Name] was laying on the ground, not even bothering to get up. She quickly made her way towards her friend, and bent down. Relief and surprise filled the dark-haired girl, seeing the familiar face of her 'dead' friend. "[Name]?!" she exclaimed in surprise. Armin told all of them that she had died. The rest of the group, besides Connie, Marco, and Jean, looked towards Sasha in surprise. 

 

     [Name] pulled her arms away from her face, revealing the two cuts she had received to the rest. She then turned to Marco and smiled. "See? No promises." She chuckled a little, and pushed herself up into a sitting position using her hands. As she did, blood rolled down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, leaving a smeared red mark. The smear quickly got replaced with fresh blood again. 

 

     Marco quickly ran over to her once he saw the blood. He helped her up to her feet, and ran a finger across the cut over her eye. [Name] flinched away, and wiped the blood away gently with her own sleeve. "H-hey, at least let me see it!" Marco exclaimed. He could tell that both of the cuts weren't exactly deep, but perhaps still needed treatment. 

 

     "Yeah, yeah," [Name] says and rolled her eyes. Walking back to Marco, he quickly pulled out a handkerchief as she got closer. Gently, Marco wiped the cuts, the cloth observing the blood, staining it. The others watched silently as he did, and [Name] blushed slightly from embarrassment. 

 

     "There," Marco said finally. "Done." 

 

     [Name] smiled and looked at Marco thankfully. He smiled and nodded back to her. She looked around, seeing a few shocked faces here and there. There was a silence, but it was eventually cut by the person who ate the potato that day. Sasha ran forward, and tackled [Name] into a hug, who stumbled back. "I can't believe your alive, [Name]! I-I thought you died! Everyone thought you did, but I told them you didn't!" she shouted, already in a few tears. 

 

     She then released [Name] from her hug, and [Name] took a deep breath. She then received a pat on the back from Reiner. Being a person not knowing his strength, [Name] stumbled forward and murmured a small 'ow'.

 

     "Heh, nice to see you alive [Name]!" Reiner said. "I knew you could die that easily!" 

 

     "D-don't lie Reiner!" Bertolt piped up from behind him. "You were talking about the way she could of died!" He remembered exactly what happened earlier, before [Name] had shown up. Reiner was shooting off about how [Name] could of died, both in sympathy and disbelief. Eaten by a Titan, or was she caught under fallen houses? Reiner wasn't exactly joking at that time, the shock must of gotten to him. 

 

     "Haha," [Name] laughed sarcastically. "The way you say it, it sounds like you wanted me to die. But, I know you wouldn't do that, right?" Reiner nodded quickly, seeing the glance [Name] shot at him. He saw a small glare, and didn't want to get flipped over. [Name] then turned to Jean, who was sulking in the corner. 

 

     "Hey, Jean!" [Name] called out to him as she walked closer. When she was next to him, she bent down. "Why the fuck are you like this? Most of us made it, thanks to you." She then looked around, seeing that most of her friends and other trainees were here, no missing limbs or anything. However, something caught her eye under a nearby wooden desk, which had paper spread out on it and spilled ink. 

 

     Jean seemed to noticed as well, so he looked the same direction as [Name], and his eyes widened. 

 

     "W-what are you doing here?" Jean asked the people under the desk. He quickly removed his hand from the half of his face, and turned his head to get a better look. There, under the desk, was two trainees who were stationed in the supply building. He saw blood splatted on the female on the left, and he gasped. 

 

     "They're part of the supply squad," [Name] filled in, almost as if he read Jean's thoughts. Her voice echoed through the silence of the room, in which could be cut with a knife. The guy under the table nodded, telling her she was correct. Before she could say anything else, Jean lunged forward at the man with narrowed eyes. 

 

     Grabbing the other trainee by the collar, Jean pulled him out from the desk, bringing him to his feet. He then swung his right fist at the supply soldier, and he felt his fist collide with the skin of the soldier's cheek. Blood came out of his mouth and the man grunted at the impact. He quickly fell to the ground. T-these cowards... Jean thought angrily. They had left them to die. 

 

     "Jean!" Marco quickly called out to the copper-blonde with eyes widened. He quickly ran over with [Name] by his side, and they both quickly took each of Jean's arms and held him back from beating up the trainee. [Name] looked at Jean, and saw that he was furious at the cowards who were hiding. "Stop it!"

 

     "These bastards have abandoned us!" Jean screamed, being heard throughout the entire room. [Name] gritted, but kept a grip on her friend. She agreed as well, silently fuming at the supply squad for not doing their job. But, she knew the fear they had of Titans. She experienced it before. Everyone was scared of them. They may not show it, but they would be internally screaming in fear on the inside. "Do you have a clue how many people have died?!" 

 

     [Name] watched as the female with the blood stain on her face run forward, quickly going for the side of her punched comrade. She bent down and put her arms over him in defense, and quickly turned to [Name] and the others. She could see tears forming on the trainee's eyes as she started to shoot back a reason to why they were there. "The Titan's have invaded the supply depot!" she shouted desperately. The tears streamed down her face. 

 

     "What could we have done?!"

 

     "It's your job to figure something out!" the copper-blonde shouted, and [Name]'s grip on him tightened. 

 

     His shouting had grabbed everyone's attention in this room, and she wanted him to shut up. But, he was the man who would express his thoughts freely, so she knew that wouldn't happen. [Name] felt her friend's muscles tighten under his clothing, preparing to lunge forward again. [Name] then raised one hand, and her grip in the other loosened, preparing to let him go and getting ready to slap him to put sense into him. 

 

     But, something interrupted the fight. The sound of the wind rushing. 

 

     Not wind blowing harshly, but the sound of wind rushing when something big was falling. If something was falling, the wind would quickly get pushed away by the object, getting pushed to the sides, correct? [Name] turned her head to the right, and saw that Reiner had seemed to notice it as well. He turned his head towards the intact windows, and his eyes widened. 

 

     "Take cover!" he screamed. 

 

     The wall where the intact windows were then suddenly exploded. The blow of the impact blew a few of the trainees backwards, and [Name]'s and Marco's grip got broken from Jean. They both got pushed back, and [Name] put her arms over her face to prevent rubble from hitting her face. Someone flew past her, and [Name] felt sorry for the person. Must of been near the wall, she figured. 

 

     When the dust and wind had lightened up, [Name] removed her arms from her face and looked at the way where the broken wall now was. Her eyes widened at the sight, and she slightly backed up. The objects huge eyes stared blankly at all of the people in the room as it laid on it's side. 

 

     It was a Titan. A Titan's head. 

 

     "S-shit!" [Name] shouted. The head then pulled back, showing signs that the Titan was alive. They have found out they were here. The sunlight flowed in, and it revealed that another Titan was standing by the one who crashed it's face into the building. 

 

     Screaming erupted, and most of the trainees began running the opposite direction of the wall. Their voices were mixed with each other, and [Name] managed to make out a few people telling others to run for their lives, and one calling out to Mikasa. As for Jean and the others, including Levi's sister, they all stood in their spots, staring at the hole in the wall, unable to figure out on what to do next. This is reality, [Name] thought. She turned to the others, who were looking at the wall timidly or in disbelief. We need to get real some day.

 

     Turning back to the wall, she saw that the Titan's faces were now next to each other, one female and the other male. Almost looking as if they were a mother and father, in gigantic form. [Name] gritted her teeth, staring at them made her scared and disgusted. Bringing her to the thought of Mikasa, Armin, and Connie. Dammit, where are they? They're taking too long. 

 

     A fist then collided into the male Titan's face as [Name] finished that thought, and she saw the rippled on the Titan's skin coming from the impact. It all seemed slow as the skin moved in waves. When it ended, it moved onto the female's face, it's expression not changing much either. [Name] smirked as she felt a sweat drop coming on. Just in time.

 

     After what seemed like a minute, the coupled Titans then flew to the left, the same fist following it. The light and view of the sky then were revealed again. The long-haired Titan [Name] had shown to Armin then walked in front of the hole, ignoring the living beings inside. It roared. "W-what. . . is that?!" Jean asked in fear. 

 

     "A Titan," [Name] said simply. 

     The window beside her then crashed open, and she quickly moved away. Three figures moved in, and landed with ease on their feet. "M-Mikasa?!" Jean stuttered, unable to make out what happened. Armin and Mikasa quickly stood back up and Mikasa looked at Jean while Armin looked out the hole, observing the Rouge Titan. It was now moving onto the Titans right outside the building. 

 

     "Amazing! We barely made it!" Connie said in surprise as he hit his fist against the empty cases in where the little gas remained inside in. There was enough gas back then for him and Armin to make it here. If they were going a little slower, they would of never made it. He sighed in relief, and stood up. 

 

     [Name] walked over to them, smiling to them. "You guys made it in time, good job!" she congratulated them. Mikasa nodded at her, while Connie grinned stupidly. [Name] then quickly slapped him, and Connie grunted in pain. 

 

     "Ow! What was that for?" Connie turned to [Name], waiting for an answer. He then saw the cuts on her faces, and his grin quickly turned into an expression of worry. "Your hurt," he pointed out. 

 

     [Name] rolled her eyes. "Yeah, no shit. Don't worry, Marco said it wasn't deep." 

 

     Connie then turned to Armin, as did [Name]. They both quickly patted him on the back at the same time, praising him for his thoughtfulness and quick thinking. Armin was a real strategist, one who thinks carefully in little time, and thinks about the entire situation with delicacy. He sweat dropped nervously as he looked around, seeing the Titans getting killed one by one. [Name] then turned back to the rest of the trainees, which most of them were huddled in a corner. 

 

     "I know things may be confusing," [Name] started. Seeing their confused faces, she knew that telling them that using the Rouge Titan was going to be a confusing topic for them, but the Titan was one of the last resorts left. "But, that Titan over there doesn't pay attention to us, only has the instinct to kill it's own kind." She pointed to the Titan, who was preparing to hit another Titan.  

 

     Multiple gasps arose. "Using a Titan? You guys are being delusional," Jean said nervously, looking at the Rouge as it punched another Titan and roared. 

 

     "I don't look at it as an abnormal or a regular Titan," Mikasa stepped in. "Just let it rampage around here. It's our best option right now." The same roar came again, and the footsteps of other Titans began to get louder and louder. [Name] looked outside, seeing that the Titans were approaching the long-haired one. 

 

     "How much exactly do you know about that Titan?"

 

     The sound of whispering was all around, the sound bouncing off the walls. The trainees all had moved to a lower level, staying at a room with a lift in the middle. Just below, was the supply room where all their new gas awaits. A few people were pulling up the rift using the ropes that held it, and the others were sitting close by. [Name] looked at Reiner, who sat in front of her. Beside her was Connie. Next to Reiner was Annie, who was listening quietly. 

 

     [Name] knew a lot of the Titan, but she decided to speak nothing of it. Reiner had caught her though, and rose one eyebrow but said nothing. "Shouldn't we discuss that after we're safe?" Connie suggested. Reiner looked back at him and smiled. 

 

     "Right," he agreed. "Let's get out of here alive first."

 

     "Hey!" Jean's voice interrupted the loud whispering in the room. Everyone looked towards the door, and saw that he emerged with four more cadets with wooden rectangle boxes, Marco being a person in that group. [Name] felt relief inside her, seeing that Jean managed to find some supplies. "They're Military Police supplies, though they're covered in dust." 

 

     Jean then put down the box, and opened the lid, which took a bit of effort to open. Inside were old, unused firearms. He took one and cocked it. Seeing three bullets, doubt rose inside. He lifted it up, seeing if there was more. "There's three bullets. Is that enough?

     "Do they even work against Titan's in the first place?" 

 

     Around the room, soldiers were grabbing the same firearms from the other boxes, checking to see if it works. In the middle, Armin, Reiner, Mikasa, Connie, Sasha, and Marco were surrounding an old paper. It was a map of the entire place, and Armin's finger traced the lines. He then told his plan to the others around him, and their faces were surprised. "It's better than nothing," [Name] told Jean. "Unless, you have a better plan? Besides, rocking back and forth in the corner."

 

     "Even if there are still seven three to four meter class Titans in the supply room," Armin added. "Blinding them all at once isn't impossible with this much firepower."

 

     Armin then pointed at the map, specifically at the lift. "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."

 

     "Be sure to aim for the eyes now," [Name] said with a smirk, knowing how nervous others could get. They could miss a big target, being nervous and all. "They're eyes are big targets. I'm sure that you won't miss.

 

     "If you do, I'm disappointed." 

 

     [Name]'s tone darkened as the sentence ended, creeping out a few others. Armin looked at her nervously, and gulped. He then looked back to the map and continued to explain the plan he had thought of. "Seven people will be hiding near the ceiling would have to swoop down to attack the Titan's weak spots while they're blind." Armin looked back up at the people surrounding the map, with the look of determination and confidence. "With this plan, we'll be gambling everything on this single attack. And like [Name] said, don't screw up."

 

     [Name] nodded in acknowledgement, with another smirk. "Plus," Armin quickly added. "The seven people should be the most physically fit ones. You'll have to shoulder the burden of everyone's lives. I'm sorry."

 

     "No, problem," Reiner assured him with a smile.

 

     Annie put a hand on her hip, and sighed. "Whoever fails, all of us will die. The risk is the same," she added on to Reiner's sentence. 

 

     "B-but," Armin began, looking at the floor. "I'm just a nobody. Is my plan really the best option?" 

 

     "Armin," [Name] said softly, and her friend looked at her. "We have no other plans. And your the strategic guy around here. _{No offense, Jean.} This idea is our only option." 

 

     "Be confident!" Marco chimed in. 

 

     "Don't worry," Mikasa reassured him like the others did. "You've got a talent for reasoning out the best solution. That had saved my life before, and Eren's as well." Armin felt the words of his friends make him loosen up, now feeling at ease with his plan. His friends trusted him, and so should he. 

 

     The talking was then interrupted by the heavy wooden door to the lift being kicked down by Jean, the wood crashing with a big bang. Jean looked around, seeing if everyone was prepared. "We're ready! The guns too! All of them are loaded." 

 

     Mikasa, Reiner, Annie, Bertolt, Jean, Connie, and Sasha then got up, and started to head the opposite direction where the other trainees went, to the stairs. They were the chosen ones for the mission to kill the seven Titans, and the burden of everyone's lives were on their shoulders, an equal amount for each of them. Sasha felt nervous for being one of them, seeing how easily everyone would die if any of them would miss the nape. 

 

     [Name] watched as they walked down the stairs as she walked onto the lift, and sighed. Now, don't miss either, you guys, she thought to them silently as their heads started to get farther. Or I'll kill you for it.

     Just before the rift started to descend, [Name] swore that she heard Reiner's voice suggest that they should ram a blade up a Titan's ass hole, for a weak point. She chuckled a little, seeing how hilarious it would be if a sword was sticking out of a Titan's ass. "Now Reiner, how would you get the blade out?" she whispered questionably to her bulk friend, inaudible to anyone but herself. 

 

     As the lift was lowered, [Name] watched as the stone brick walls move upwards past the lift as they descended. She gripped her musket tightly as the lift continued to make noise from above. She was also afraid, not really to the Titans, but to the lift suddenly getting broken and crashing to the ground, attracting the attention of all Titans in the room. 

 

     The whispers in the lift were nervous, and [Name] felt Marco shift nervously beside her. Looking at him, she gave him an assuring smile, showing him that everything was going to be okay. Marco's eyes widened slightly, but then he smiled back and nodded. Good luck. 

 

     The lift then came to a stop, and the sound of giant footsteps were now easily heard. Everyone quickly readied the guns, and aimed it to the nearest Titan. There were sweat drops of fear and nervousness on everyone's faces, seeing that they would have to be really close to a Titan. [Name] looked through the small sight of her gun, and aimed it at a Titan which was walking closer to the lift. 

 

     It didn't seem to notice them, but it then stopped in front of the side [Name], Marco, and Armin was at. [Name] quickly observed the features of the Titan, and saw that it's hair was long, hanging a foot above it's shoulders. She could see the corners of it's creepy smile. The Titan then snapped it's head towards them (almost dramatically), revealing it's full face. 

 

     [Name] heard some trainee nearby screech audibly, making her ears hurt a little. The people around her quickly started to panic, and she felt Armin's arm brush against hers. It was shaking. 

 

     Marco, seeing the others in the situation, tried his best to calm everyone down, even if he was afraid himself. "C-calm down! Lure them in closer!" They had to stick to the plan, even if they would die before they even started. Everyone had to have a phobia. This was likely one of the for most of the trainees. Not able to get over so easily. 

 

     The Titan walked closer, it's footsteps crashing onto the ground. The rift slightly shook, and [Name] shifted slightly. She still kept a strong grip on her firearm, and planted her feet as hard as she can on the lift. She then looked up, and saw that the seven were propped into a ready position above her. 

 

     She then looked back, and saw that the Titan that was approaching them was now right in front of them. She quickly closed one eye, leaving one open to aim correctly. The others around her did the same, and aimed at their Titan on their side. A few whimpered, but wasn't loud enough to wild up the Titans. [Name] gulped, swallowing the thick liquid. She felt the cold metal press against her cheek, and her eyes narrowed. 

 

     "Ready!" Marco started to call off. 

 

     Fingers slid to over the golden trigger, pressing ever so slightly. 

 

     The Titan's took one step forward, so close that the muzzle of the gun almost touched it's large eye. The eye stared into the hole, not suspecting a thing. 

 

     "FIRE!!!"
