In an Alternate Reality III

*Time Skip*

A ceremony was to be held for the last remaining members of the Survey. It was to honor them in their heroic efforts. They all made sure they were as spiffy as they possibly could. After all, no one would want to look like a mess in front of the Queen. As they waited, the dumbass (Floch) had some little words of encouragement for the Levi Squad. More like a bone to pick.

"You should be dead, Armin. Commander Erwin should be standing in your place. I'm not the only one who thinks that. Everyone who read the reports of what happened in Shinganshina has the same thought. You shouldn't be here. It should've been Erwin. Why wasn't he saved?!"

"Calm down, Floch." said Jean, but of course, Floch didn't listen.

"If it wasn't for you two! You two decided to get all emotional and so did the Captain. You made an irrational choice. You treated that damn syringe like it was yours and wasted it! He's alive only because you two believe your friends are more important!" Floch said. For the first time, Mikasa looked genuinely annoyed by someone and it was surprising to say the least but who can blame her this is Floch we're talking about.

Eren couldn't handle hearing another word escape his mouth so he walked up to him.

"Listen here, you idiot. You should learn to keep loose mouth of yourself shut or else." He threatened.

"Or what? What are you gonna do? Cry about it?" Floch said. He clearly wanted to die.

Eren didn't say a word. It was clear to everyone that he was ready to beat him into a bloody paste. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his hands were curled into fists. Floch got ready to fight, but it of course won't be much of a fight. It would be more of a one-sided beatdown.

Jean, who was behind Floch, stopped him from doing any dumb.

"Back down, Floch. You don't want that fight. Keep order. The ceremony is about to start" Jean said as he pushed Floch away.

Eren backed down also and let out a sigh.

"Nothing grinds my gears more than that idiot."

Now finally there was silence. Armin looked a little down. Floch's words of encouragement really helped.

"Floch was right... Commander Erwin was the one who should've been saved. Maybe he could've turned this situation around.... I can't though...." Armin said.

Eren tightly gripped Armin's shoulders.

"What are you saying? Remember what we told you? Don't make any of us regret this. You have a power within you that no one else can possess. Didn't you want to see the sea? What happened to all that?" Eren questioned.

Armin didn't respond and there was only silence until Levi walked up to them.

"Alright, you brats. It's time. Line up." Levi ordered.

*Time Skip*

Ceremony began. Queen Historia gave the Scouts a pendant and allowed them to give her a smooch on her hand. If only Reiner was here. Anyways, the ceremony went on as it should until it got to Eren. Historia put the pendant around him and extended her hand for Eren to kiss it. As soon as he did, he felt an absurd amount of power surge all throughout his body. A power similar to what he experienced before when he was about to die, but it was on a much higher magnitude.

Pink glowing fragments appeared in his eyes as he let go of Historia's hand. He began to receive memories of his future.

His fate and the fate of the others.
