AUTHOR'S POV:

Groups of soldiers were gathered together on the wall at each cannon station, peering down at the herd of Titans.

"We've successfully managed to gather most of the Titans into the corner of the City." Gustav said. "Yet, despite avoiding combat as much as possible, around 20% of our soldiers have been lost."

The injured soldiers were laying on the ground.

"No," Pixis said, "they were not 'lost.' The soldiers did not die of their own accord. I ordered them to their deaths." He stopped and looked out at the destroyed city overrun by Titans. "Humanity is now perched on the brink of extinction. If it means ensuring humankind's survival, I'm willing to go down in history as a butcher."

The house was destroyed where the attacking Titan's fist collided into. Mikasa luckily dodged his punch but a small cut appeared on her cheek and she hit the side of a chimney.

Ian and Faye ran closer towards the attacking Titan. Then they turned to Mikasa.

"Mikasa!" Faye yelled in worry.

The attacking Titan threw another punch and Mikasa again dodged. She then used the 3D gear to reach the attacking Titan's face and grabbed the long dark hair to hang in place.

"Hey! Stop, Ackerman! Get away from him!" Ian yelled.

"Mikasa! What are you doing?" Faye yelled.

"Eren! Don't you recognise me?!" Mikasa asked in desperation. "I'm Mikasa! Your bestfriend!"

The attacking Titan kept glaring at her with his glowing green eyes.

"You have to seal the hole with that rock!" Mikasa said.

Rico grabbed the red flare capsule. 'The operation's a failure...' Rico stood, holding the gun up. 'I knew there was no secret weapon.' She shot the gun and a trail of red smoke shot up to the sky.

"Eren! You're human!" Mikasa screamed.

The attacking Titan clenched its fist tight, which didn't go unnoticed by Ian and Faye.

"You're-" Mikasa interrupted.

"Dodge, Ackerman!" Ian yelled.

Mikasa jumped off in time before the Titan could harm her. But, the attacking Titan's fist collided with his own face. He let out a roar.

Faye was just staring at the scene with wide eyes.

'What are you doing Eren...'

Mikasa looked over her shoulder as she flew away. The Attacking Titan stumbled and fell backward. It sat against the boulder, looking down.

"What the hell?!" Mitabi demanded. "He's just a regular, dumb Titan!"

"Eren..." Mikasa said in disbelief.

Faye then landed next to her and rushed towards her.

"Mikasa! Why did he attack you? Is he not in control?" Faye asked with concern.

Mikasa just shook her head and continued to stare at Eren.

"Captain Ian!" One of the soldiers called out from a nearby roof. "Two Titans approaching from ahead! A 10-meter one and a 6-meter one!"

"One 12-meter Titan is closing in from the rear!" Another soilder informed.

"Ian! We have to withdraw!" Mitabi said. "There's no way that kid's sealing the hole!"

"Yeah," Rico agreed, "We have no choice but to leave him here."

Mikasa threw them a glare, teeth gritted. Faye was just standing beside her.
