I Love You... In Every Universe (AOT Alternative Universe)

91. Home (Part 4 First Chapter)

AUTHOR'S POV:

It was night time when the scouts arrived at Paradise.

They arrived at the port which was already lighted by the Yeagerists.

One by one, all of them hopped off the Beast-Jaw titan.

"We are home!" Faye exclaimed, inhaling the air of Paradise, eyes closed.

"What a exhausting day." Connie said and fell to his knees.

"Yeah... I am hungry now." Jean said.

Falco got out of his titan's nape.

"Guys, we have to walk- oh look, a cart is over there!" Hange exclaimed, pointing at a cart.

"Huh?" Jean said, looking at the Cart. "Did the Yeagerists do that for us?"

"I guess so." Faye said.

"Let's go to Niccolo's restaurant." Connie said, standing up.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind them.

All of them felt their presence and turned around.

Upon seeing him, they gasped.

"Eren?" Reiner said with wide eyes.

"How did you... Get here?" Connie asked with wide eyes.

"Stay back, guys!" Jean said, holding out his hand.

Reiner and Pieck quickly brought their hand towards their mouth while Falco froze in shock.

Hange stepped forward. "Stop! stop! Let's hear him out first!" She turned to Eren. "Eren?"

"I don't know if I should be happy that Eren is still alive or angry for what he did." Jean said.

"Same..." Connie said with furrowed eyebrows. "Eren, why did you do that?!"

"Did you guys really think that I was going to destroy the world?" Eren calmly asked.

All of them except, Levi, Hange, Armin, Faye and Mikasa's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" Connie asked.

"Didn't you say it youself that you'll trample all the surface of land outside of Paradise?" Pieck asked.

"Yeah. I did. But that was just a threat." Eren said.

"Threat?" Reiner asked, confused.

"More likely, a gamble." Eren said.

"A gamble? What are trying to say, Eren?" Jean asked.

"As I said earlier, I am the same as you." Eren said and Reiner's eyes widened. "I would let the Wall titans kill everyone outside of Paradise If it was necessary. But, it wasn't." He turned to Pieck and Reiner. "As you were 'saving the world' nine years ago..." Reiner, Pieck and Falco looked down. "I were saving Paradise."

"By killing everyone outside of Paradise in Rumbling?" Jean said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Well, that wasn't even Rumbling." Eren said and his eyes began to glow. "This is Rumbling."

Suddenly, their surroundings changed to Hizuru where thousands of Wall titans were crushing people.

The group just stood in the middle with wide eyes while people were running through them in panic.

Some of the people got crushed behind them.

"Eren..." Armin trailed off, looking around with a frightened expression.

"This is... Hell." Connie exclaimed.

Suddenly, a giant foot crushed some people beside them.

"Eren? What is this?" Faye asked.
