⋆ Survive  ⋆



When Armin came back to his senses, Connie was in front of him, shaking him off. He stood here for a moment, trying to process everything that happened in the last hour. Remembering your face when you caught him inside the Titan's mouth, and when Eren tried to rescue you- His blue eyes widened and he started to scream loudly, Connie not understanding what's going on.

" H-Hey A-Armin, w-what- " Connie tried, extending his hands to shake back the blond haired male to reality.


" Useless dolt! Fucking useless! Just die! "

" It's useless Connie. They were wiped out....Except for him " mumbled Ymir in boredom and Connie snarled at her.

" Shut up! Armin hasn't said anything yet! "

" Can't you tell just by looking around? " she replied, staring at the two over her shoulder. " We don't have any more time to waste on him "

" Why's Armin the only person left in one piece then? " 

" Who knows? Maybe they thought he was a corpse. It's a pity they ran into a bunch of Titans, but why did he have to be the only one to survive? It just means Eren and the others died in vain "

Connie was about to beat herself to a pulp but Krista stood in between them, extending her arms in a defensive manner to her friend. 

" Stop it, you two! Everyone's just panicking! Our friends are all dying so suddenly....It's only natural! "

" That's my Krista! Once this is all over, marry me! " laughed Ymir, throwing her shoulder over the petite female around her neck. 

" Arg...she's messing around more than usual... " groaned Connie, turning back to Armin whose tears kept falling on his cheeks. " Anyway, you can't just stay here...Can you stand, Armin? " 

The male gasped slightly and slowly stood up, not taking the hand that Connie was giving him.

" Sorry for the trouble I caused. I'll go join the rear guard... "

He jumped down from the roof, ignoring Connie's calls of his name. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikasa sliced the Titan down, having predicted that the others from the elite squad couldn't take it down when approaching too fast toward the crowd of people. But why did it take so much time for them to escape? Still upon the dead Titan, she observed the scene that stood before her. A huge chariot was blocking the exit of the gates and her eyes widened at the situation:

" What do you think you're doing? " she asked and a middle aged man started to yell nonsense at her. He was certainly the merchant of this merchandise.  

" Good timing, you! Make them help me out! I'll reward you handsomely! "

" But...my comrades are dying as we speak...The noncombatants haven't evacuated yet, so they're fighting the Titans and dying " she said in a horrified tone. 

" That's only natural! It's your duty to offer up your hearts to protect us civilians and our wealth! Don't get all high and mighty just because you parasites have finally emerged from 100 years of uselessness! " the pig spate and Mikasa's eyes hardened to slit.  She jumped down from the corpse and advanced toward the excuse of a man.

" If you think it's only natural that people die for others, then I'm sure you'll understand. Sometimes, sacrificing one precious life can save many others "

" Just you try it! I've known your boss for a long time. You're just a grunt. I can tell him to end you! "

He ordered two of his men to take down the Asian girl but she only knocked them off with the handle of her blades, still approaching the merchant in a fierce manner. 

" But how is a corpse going to tell him anything? " she mused and lifted her sword high in the air. He started to panic and waved his hands in front of him.

" Wait!!! " she stopped the blade just next to his head. After a moment of silence: " Pull the cart out "

The civilians could now escape safely the district. Mikasa pulled back her swords and was about to continue on her mission when she heard a small voice of a young girl. 

" Thank you, Ms. Soldier! " she said happily.

" You saved our lives. Thank you so much " nodded her mother. She smiled and did the salute before walking away. 

At this right moment, it started to rain. Her chief approached her and felicitated her catch.

" Well done, Ackerman "

" Thank you, sir. However,  I acted far too hastily and dulled both my blades in a single attack. I'll be more careful next time " she said, changing her swords. 

" Seriously, what happened to make you so-? " he was cut by the look she gave him and he cleared his throat. " Never mind. Forget I said anything... "

Mikasa pulled up on her scarf and the girl from before reminded her of her past.

Why am I remembering this now, of all times? " she thought.

She remembers how her past affected her to become what she is now...a warrior in a cruel world. She could remember all the blood who was spilled on that day, 1 years before the fall of Wall Maria. Bandits came at her house and killed both of her father and mother, right in front of Mikasa. She was then brought into a strange chalet where they tied and beat her, slowly breaking the girl. Mikasa thought it was the end until Eren, Doctor Jaeger's son, stepped into this. He killed two of the men and nearly died at the hands of the last one who tried to strangle him. Under these circumstances, something awakened inside of the Asian girl. A strength she never thought she had before and killed the man with a single stab in the back, piercing his heart.

She finished by getting adopted by Grisha and then met for the first time his oldest daughter: (Y/N). At first, she felt that this young woman with (S/C) skin, (H/C) hair and bright (E/C) eyes was pretty strange to be born in this family but didn't question this situation at its fullest. She grown to love her and Eren as the siblings she never had.

" Eren...(Y/N)...as long as you are with me, I can do anything! " 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Titans finally reached the HQ and seven of them were able to enter the basement where the gas was stocked to. Those who were tasked for this job found refuge in the libraries and small rooms that didn't have any windows, cornered by those monsters. They were living in fear and none of them had the courage to take down those who invaded the basement. Because of that, soldiers outside can't get over the wall even after the order to retreat, sealing their fates.

" We finally received the order to retreat, but we can't get over the wall because we're out of gas " groaned Jean, passing a hand in his hair. " We're all going to die. Thanks to those fucking cowards... "

" You mean the support squads? What happened to them? Are they all dead? " asked Connie in frustration. 

" They probably lost their will to fight. I understand how they feel. But I doubt they've abandoned their mission and barricaded themselves away in the HQ. I'm guessing the Titans have them surrounded which is why they can't supply us with gas " Jean explained, staring at the HQ in the distance. 

" That's exactly why we have no choice but to go all in on those Titans! Sitting here and waiting to die isn't going to make a difference! The Titans are going to surround us too! If we keep running away from them, we'd just end  up wasting the little gas we have left...and where is (Y/N) anyway?! That Survey Corps soldier, huh?! She could kick their asses while we enter the HQ and- "

" I never thought I'd hear you make an intelligent comment, Connie, but observe your surroundings....Do you see her anywhere? No? Then that certainly mean she's dead or something " he muttered, but expecting in his heart that it wasn't case.  " How do you propose we do that with the forces we have left? Having (Y/N) on our side maybe will would have a slight chance but the vanguard has nearly been wiped out...Moreover, which one of us cadets could possibly take command of such an operation? "

Jean sighed and lifted his head to the sky, staring at it with mild exasperation.

" Not that we could do anything about the Titans even if someone took command. The gas storage is probably crawling with 3-4 meter class Titans by now. And of course, we can't fight them indoors "

" So it's hopeless " muttered Connie sadly. 

" I had such a boring life. If someone told me beforehand... "



Not caring about anything right now, Armin leaned back against the wall, his eyes still bearing the same horrified realization of what happened to his friends. But what crushed is world was:

" Armin! " he heard Mikasa calls him and he froze on the spot.

" Mikasa?! Crap! How can I look her in the face? I don't even deserve to be alive. I should've just died with them! " he thought and Mikasa finally reached him, bending down to his height.

" Armin, are you hurt? " she asked in a soft voice and he cringed at that. " Feeling okay? Where's Eren? And (Y/N)? Armin? "

When Armin looked up, she understood the look in his blue eyes. Mikasa couldn't believe it and felt her warm inside of her quit her body. Her dark eyes were now filled with emptiness, void of any emotions they once held. Armin knelt, tears still trimming on his face:

" Our unit...The 34th cadet unit...Thomas Wagner. Nic Tius. Mylius Zeramuski. Mina Carolina. Eren Jaeger. And (Y/N) Jaeger. All six of them have fulfilled their duty and died heroic deaths in battle! " he yelled and everyone stared at him in shock. 

" No way... " Sasha muttered in shock.

" I'm sorry Mikasa. So sorry....Your sister...tried to s-save me and...she and Eren... " he sobbed and Mikasa put tenderly a hand over his.

" Armin.  Take a deep breath...This isn't the time to be emotional. Stand up "

She helped him up and walked to the end of the roof, not turning back:

" Marco. If we take out the Titans around the HQ, we can replenish our gas supplies and climb the wall, is that right? "

" Yeah...but even if you're with us, there's just too many..."

" We can do it " Mikasa said firmly . " I'm strong...Stronger than all of you " she said, lifting her sword over her head. " I can kill all those Titans there. Even if I'm alone...You're either incompetent or you're spineless cowards. Pathetic. You can sit here and suck on your fingers, and watch how it's done! "

" Hey, Mikasa! What are you saying! " yelled a girl.

" You want to fight all those Titans by yourself? "

" There's no way you can do that! " yelled another.

" If I can't, then I'll just die. But if I win, I live. Unless I fight, I cannot win! " she said, jumping down from the roof and activating the 3DMG. There was a moment of silence before Jean spoke up:

" You oratory skills are what's pathetic...Was the point of that to shock us into action? It's all your fault, Eren! " he growled, releasing his blades and shown them to the others. " Hey! Were we trained to let our comrades fight alone?! At this rate, we're going to turn out to be spineless cowards! "

Jean take off with Connie at his tail. Reiner let out a breath and sweatdropped slightly.

" I'm surprised I'd hear him say that " 

He followed the rest of the gang, the others finally doing the same with Sasha's encouragements (aka insults). Mikasa lead the way, slaying Titans right and left without caring about her gas storage. She was in the mood to kill everything on her path, to fill the holes in her heart by hearing the death of both of her siblings. Of course, Armin was the only one to notice.

" Hurry! Follow Mikasa! " screamed Jean. " Let's keep this fight short! We need to kill them all before we run out of gas! "

" Mikasa is a badass " said Connie in awe, staring at the Asian girl. " How can she move that fast? "

" She's using too much gas " whispered Armin to himself.  " At this rate, she will run out right away! I don't care how  skilled she is...Without our agility, we are more than dead! "

Mikasa didn't stop and in fact, went quicker than usual. She kills Titans without any mercy, flying around the buildings with flexibility. And as predicted...No gas came out from her three dimensional maneuver gear and she started to fall to her demise, hitting many roofs on her way down.

" Mikasa! " screamed Armin, maneuvering his gears so he could chase her. 

" Jean! You lead the others! " screamed Connie, following Armin after him. " I'll go with Armin! "

" I'm coming with you! "

" There are more Titans left, we need your skills! " he replied and Jean cursed under his breath. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mikasa was laying on her back, facing the dark sky with an expressionless face. She stared at her blades in wonder:

Again...I lost my family once again..." she thought, going down and falling on her knees. " This pain is familiar. Will I have to start fresh once again? "

Footsteps could be hear from the distance and grown louder each passing seconds. A Titan appeared around the corner and walked toward Mikasa. She stood still, not moving any inch of her body. 

This world is merciless...A cruel world....And it's also very beautiful " she thought, closing her eyes for the final time, remembering some memories about you and Eren. How the three of you would go and play outside. How Eren gave her the red scarf she cherished the most. She smiled and lifted her head. " I lived a good...life "

The Titan continued to approach dangerously and when he extended a hand to grab her, the same feeling when she was little came back at force and she sliced its fingers with a broken blade. She avoided it one more time by  jumping far away from the monster.

Why...I thought I'd given up...Why do I still fight? Why am I standing? "

She rolled down the street and coughed a few times to ease the pain. She slowly stood up, eyeing frontward. 

Why am I struggling...My life has no meaning anymore. What's keeping me going? " she took a step back and noticed another Titan coming in her way.

Fight!

" Eren? " she whispered.

Fight! You must fight! Fight for your life!

I'm sorry, Eren. I won't give up, not anymore. I'll never give up again " she thought, a tear falling down. " If I died, I won't be able to remember you. So I'll win, no matter what! " she greeted her teeth and let a screech until the Titan behind her stepped in the fight, cracking the ground under her and slammed his fist in the other Titan's face. " What's going on? " 

She watched as the 15 meters Titan started to tear down the other.

" A Titan...killing...another Titan? "

Her thoughts were cut short when she felt someone lift her and brought her on a roof, away from the Titan. Releasing her, Armin fell on her side and he looked up to make sure she was alright.

" Mikasa! Are you hurt? " asked Armin and Connie arrived right after.

" Are you guys alright? " 

" Yeah! "

" We must get-Shit this is bad! " Connie was cut by another Titan appearing out of nowhere. " Two 15 meters Titans?! "

" That Titan is different " Mikasa said, staring at the brown haired Titan. It growled loudly at the other, and it doing the same. That's when the Titan took a stance that remind the three cadets their training back three years ago. 

Swinging it's arm, it ripped apart the other Titan's head apart from its body, bringing it inside a tower. The 15 meters class Titan groaned and stepped upon the weak spot, killing it intently. The three stared at it with wide eyes:

" That stance...and it knows where the weak spot is situated! " said Armin in shock.

" Well we must get going before it comes this way! " yelled Connie, preparing himself to fly off.

" No, it doesn't care about us. It could've attacked long ago "

" It had an idea of how to perform hand-to-hand combat. What was that? " wondered the Asian female. 

Why does it remind me of them?

" Call it an abnormal! There's too much we don't know and we must hurry to the HQ! " complained the other.

" But Mikasa is out of gas! "

" Are you fucking kidding me?! What are we going to do without you?! "

" Oh I know what do to..."

Armin knelt down and replaced the gas with his. Mikasa stared in shock at him, whispering his name.

" I don't have much gas left...There's no other choice! " he said determinedly. " The gas is useless on me but please use it carefully this time. You must save everyone's life..."

" I moved in without the determination to shoulder their lives. I even gave up on my life without realizing the responsibility I held. And it was due to my own issues " Mikasa thought with sadness, guilt inside of her. " I... "

" Alright! Your maneuver gear's good to go! And I gave you all my blades as well...just leave one with me. Now that I think about it, I don't want to be eaten alive " he muttered while staring at the blade, shaking slightly. Mikasa took it from his hand and tossed it away. " Ah, b-but..."

" Armin. I won't leave you behind... " she helped him up and turned toward the Titan who saved her. " At that moment...I was utterly confused. I've never heard about Titans killing their own kind...Then I was slightly exalted because what I was looking at felt like the rectification of mankind's anger... "

" But with so many Titans around, you can't bring me alone " stuttered Armin and Connie glared at him.

" Let's get going! " he said, taking his hand and bringing him to their destination: the HQ. Armin turned back to the growling Titan and an idea formed in his head. He stopped Connie and Mikasa before they could get farther. " Wait! I have an idea. It's a two persons operation so you two should decide whether to carry it out. I know it's crazy but couldn't we use that Titan? "

" That Titan?! " replied Connie.

" It only attacking other Titans. It seems uninterested in humans and I was thinking of luring it to the supply tower somehow...If it handles the Titans for us, we could get everyone out of this alive! "

" Lure it? How would we even pull that off? "

" I think it acts on instinct. If you two defeat the Titans in its vicinity, then it will start seeking other Titans! Most likely, it'll move towards the Titans swarming around the HQ! "

" How could we do something so risky based on a mere guess?! " said Connie, sweating slightly in nervousness at the idea of having a Titan on his tail. 

" But if it does work, we could eliminate every Titan at the HQ in one fell swoop! "

" It's worth a try " answered Mikasa and Connie gaped at her.

" Oh my god, are you serious?! "

" If we're facing certain death either way, the path to take is the path with a chance of victory...Let's side with Armin's plan "

" You want to side with a Titan to fight against Titans? Oh man....It won't even be funny if we fail " Connie smiled. 

" But if we succeed, everyone will be saved " 

Now it was Armin's turn to smile and the other two nodded, starting the plan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jean gripped his swords tightly, staring at the mass of Titans who were eating his comrades. He didn't think himself as a leader, watching them die under his eyes. He noticed that the Titans were preoccupied and found there was a chance for them to advance. Cruel, but worth a shot.

" Go! Hurry to the HQ while you can! " he yelled, activating the gear. The others followed right after. " It's now or never. We're finished if our gas runs out! "

He zigzagged between the monsters, cutting one of them's finger who tried to grab him on his way. Marco arrived next to him, a smile itching on his face.

" Jean! Thanks! I only got out because of you. It's all thanks to you! "

" Huh? " he responded quizzically

" I told you before, didn't I? You're cut out to be a leader! "


" Eh! I seriously don't know! " he smirked and jumped down from the roof. Hearing screams behind him, he cursed under his breath. It's final stop finally came when he passed through a window, the others following right after. "Using our comrades' death...how many did die under my command?! "

He slowly turned around, realizing there was someone under a table. The support squad who were tasked to fill up the gas tanks. They were pale and blood adorned their face. 

" You're part of the supply squad...aren't you?! " he asked in disbelief before growling slightly, taking a boy by the collar and slamming his fist in his face. 

" STOP IT JEAN! " yelled Marco, holding back his friend.

" These bastards abandoned us! Do you even have a clue of how many died?! "

" The Titans invaded the supply depot! How were we suppose to deal with that?! " sobbed a girl.

" It's your goddamn job! "

A loud sound resonated outside and a moment later, something crashed into the wall. Two Titans' face appeared through the new hole in the HQ and Jean stared at them with bullets of sweat rolling down his eyebrows.

"  Shit! There's too many people gathered here! " he said and the cadets started to scream, trying to escape the room.

" RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! "

" WHERE IS MIKASA? "

" SHE CRASHED BACK THERE! SHE'S BEEN EATEN! "

" AND WHAT ABOUT THAT SURVEY CORPS GIRL? "

" SHE'S DEAD TOO ! "

Jean stared at everyone, an expression of desperation taking upon his features. This was reality in the end. Never would they be able to beat those monstrosities. Like time turned in slow motion, a fist slammed itself on the Titan's face. Jean let out a gasp, not understanding anything and the two Titans were throw away, a new one replacing them but it seems...different. It let out a loud growl and Mikasa appeared through the window with both Connie and Armin behind her.

" Mikasa! " yelled Jean in surprise.

" WE DID IT! " yelled Connie happily, slapping Armin in the back who said male let out a grunt.  " Your plan was a success! "

" You're....all alive " he said  in disbelief and Mikasa nodded. 

" Everyone! That Titan's an abnormal that slaughters other Titans! It's not even interested in attacking us. If we play our cards right, we can all get outta here alive! "

" Rely on a Titan's help? " replied Jean dumbfounded. " It's more delusional than a dream! "

" It's not a dream. Let it rampage here for as long as possible.  It's our best option for survival...." 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Titan continued its rampage while the cadets all descended just right before the basement where all the supplies reside. They needed a plan and fast. Even if the abnormal Titan was stronger than average, it was only a matter of time. 

" Here! They're the Military Police supplies, though they are covered in dust " Jean said, deposing a dusted box containing a few rifles. " But will three bullets be enough? Do these guns even work against Titans in the first place? "

The cadets all reloaded them and they turned to Armin who was slowly but efficaciously making up a plan to take care of the seven Titans inside the supply room. 

" It's better than nothing...Even if there are still 3-4 meters class Titans in the supply room, blinding them all at once isn't impossible with this much firepower. First we'll use the lift to lower a large number of people into the center of the chamber. Next, they'll fire directly into the faces of all seven Titans at once. We'll all blind them at once " Armin explained. " The next instance will decide our fate. Seven other people hiding near the ceiling will swoop down to attack their weak spots while they're blind. If we follow this plan, we'll be gambling everything on this single attack. The whole point is for seven people to kill all seven Titans simultaneously. They should be the most physically capable ones, having the burden of everyone's lives...I'm sorry "

" No problem " smiled Reiner, standing up. 

" Whoever fails, all of us will die " mumbled Annie. " The risk is the same "

" But...I'm nobody, is my plan the best option? "

" We've got no other choices except your plan " said Marco. " There's no time left to think. This idea's our only shot. We have to give everything we got! "

" Don't worry. Be confident. You've got a talent for reasoning out the best solution. That intuition has saved my life before, Eren and (Y/N)'s life too  " said Mikasa and Armin turned to her, surprised. That's when your words came back to his mind:

Never doubt yourself...I know you think of yourself as a weak person...But remember this: you may not be strong or athletic, but you're smart. You think you couldn't be like them because they were strong, but you saved their life without knowing it..

Thinking about you nearly made him cry but he restrained himself.

" The lift's ready! " yelled a boy.

Mikasa, Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, Connie, Sasha and Jean were chosen as the ones to bring down the Titans. They descended downstairs:

" But can we really kill the Titans without our 3D Maneuver Gear? " asked Connie, turning to Reiner who only smirked. 

" Sure we can. We're only against small Titans so it's easy to target their weak spot "

" Who cares how big they are? It's always the spot at the nape of their necks " grunted Jean. 

" Length: 1 vertical meter. Width: 10 centimeters! " answered Sasha, remembering her studies.

" Wow, (Y/N) would be proud of you for at least remembering that " muttered Reiner. " Or just ram your blade up their assholes. That's another weak spot " he chuckled and Jean groaned slightly.

" What?! I've never heard of that move! " 

" First time I heard about it too " mumbled Mikasa.

" Reiner, those might just be your last words. Do you really want them to be an ass joke? "


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The platform descended in the basement, a group of people holding the rifles ready to use. When it finally froze in place, they noticed there was still seven Titans in the supply room. The Titans took sense of their presence and made their way toward them with huge steps. The seven cadets were ready, waiting for the signal to jump down and kill them. A Titan stopped walking and faced the humans with a creepy smile. A boy let out an inner yell.

" Calm down! Lure them in closer! " said Marco, stressed out.

The seven Titans were now closer, to point they were itching their face toward the cadets. They were shaking and holding their riffle tightly.

" Ready!...Fire! " yelled Marco and pulled the trigger, blinding the Titans. The cadets at the ceiling quickly jumped down and sliced their weak spots. But only two of them missed. " Sasha and Connie missed! "

" Pardon me...for suddenly...stabbing you...from behind " said nervously Sasha, taking a few steps behind. The Titan approached her. 

" HURRY AND HELP THEM! " yelled Jean.

" I'M REALLY SORRY! " screamed Sasha and avoided the Titan at the last second and came crashing down on the floor. She crawled away from it and Mikasa finished the job. Annie did it for Connie and slayed down the last Titan. " Mikasa! You saved me! "

" Are you hurt anywhere? " she asked.

" I'm safe, thanks to you! " Sasha said, tears streaming down her face while shaking from everywhere. This girl definitely saw her whole life flash in front of her eyes.

" Then stand now! "

" Sorry... " apologized Connie and Annie grunted under her breath.

" Never mind "

" That was too close Annie. I'm glad you weren't injured " Reiner said, approaching her but she just walked away.

" We got them all! Everyone stuck on supplies! "


Everyone cheered and cue a fainting Marco.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gas tanks now replenished, the survivors could escape to the Wall, their mission accomplished. But there was still a small problem:

" Mikasa, we've gotta hurry! " said Armin, appearing next to her but she kept gazing at the Titan who saved their lives, getting eaten by a group of Titans.

" They are eating it... " whispered Armin. " It's body can't regenerate? "

" I thought uncovering the truth about that Titan might be the key to freeing ourselves in this desperate situation " she muttered.

" I agree " said Reiner, coming from behind with Annie, Bertholdt and Jean. " If they just rip it to shreds like that, then we won't have learned a single thing! We should get rid of those Titans devouring it, and at least try to keep it alive "

" Are you insane, Reiner?! We can finally escape this deathtrap! " yelled Jean. 

" But what if this Titan become our ally? Don't you think it'd be a weapon more powerful than any cannon? " said Annie. 

" Our...ally? Are you for real?! "

Armin gasped and pointed forward to an approaching Titan. The one who killed Thomas. 

" That's...The abnormal that ate Thomas! "

In pure rage, the Titan charged toward it, both of his arms coming off from his body but it didn't stop it. Upon its jaw, the Titan bite onto the weak spot, lifted and thrown it on the others. Growling one last time, it crashed on the ground, leaving a trail of smoke.

" Looks like it burnt itself out...Whatever! Let's get going! It was only a waste of time ! " said Jean, turning to walk away but stopped when nobody followed him. They were stock at the sight in front of them. Coming out from the Titan's corps stood Eren, detaching itself from muscles and flesh. 

Mikasa's eyes widened and a feeling of hope invaded her chest. She jumped down and ran at full speed toward the Titan's body. She climbed it with ease and hugged Eren in her arms. She stood there in silence, still wondering if everything was real. She sticks her ear to his heart to listen if he was alive. A pulse. A heartbeat. Tears were a the edge of her eyes, not believing it. She finally stared down and let out a gasp. There you are, laying down in the Titan's body, with muscles covering your arms and legs. You were asleep, your chest lifting softy to show you were still alive. 
She noticed the necklace you always wore, shining brightly before the light die down, disappearing completely. 

For the moment she didn't care. She took you in her arms, ripping off the flesh and muscles of the Titan and started to cry loudly. Mikasa felt happy...relieved....Both of her siblings survived somehow. 

With the help of Armin, Mikasa brought both her siblings on a roof and the others observed the scene with fascination and bewilderment. While Mikasa was holding Eren in her arms, still sobbing her heart out, Armin knelt next to you, taking your upper body and brought it on his laps.

It's Eren...and (Y/N)....He's got his limbs back and it seems that (Y/N) lost her cadet's jacket...leaving her in only a white, sleeveless, turtleneck top...What happened? Both of them got eaten by a Titan back then.... "

He slowly took both of Eren and your hand, entwining his fingers in yours. His shoulders start to shake, sobs breaking through his facade.

" What happened here? They are alive...they are alive " Armin said.

Jean stared at your sleeping form and slowly turned to the carnage behind him, wondering the same as the others.

" Then Eren and (Y/N)...did all of this ? " he muttered.
