Lost in the Cruel World (Mikasa's Second Chance) (AOT)

15. Primal Desire

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, they were not 'lost.' The soldiers did not die of their own accord." Pixis said. "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.

In time, Mikasa landed on another rooftop.

Ian closer towards the attacking Titan. Then he turned to Mikasa. "Ackerman!"

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.

"Eren! Come to your senses!" Mikasa yelled. "Don't you recognise me?! I'm Mikasa!"

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...' She 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!" Mikasa screamed.

The Attacking Titan clenched its fist tight.

"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.

Then The Attacking Titan stumbled and fell backward. It sat against the boulder, looking down.

Mikasa used her ODM gear and landed on an immobiled Attacking Titan's nape.
.

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

'I hope I'm not hurting you.' Mikasa dug her blade deep into the Attacking Titan's nape.
.

"Ackerman!" Ian called out.
.

At once, the Attacking Titan reanimated, roaring loudly and thrashing madly.

Mikasa held on tight.
.

"Stop, Ackerman! That's too reckless!" Ian said.
.

"Eren! Can you hear me?" Mikasa asked. "Come back to your senses and take control! We're all going to die if you don't come out of there!"
.

"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."
