Upon realizing that the majority of the Squads that were in the Walls fighting both the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan, are most likely dead now, Eren will most likely be bound to lose.
(Y/n): Shit, I need to help him. Mikasa and Armin should be together... Jean, Connie and Sasha were near Eren when the rest of us were pursuing Bertholdt. They have to be alive... no they need to be alive. If it's just Mikasa, Armin and I. Eren won't be able to win.
The mission to secure Shiganshina was already expected to take many lives of the Scouts' forces as many of the previous campaigns and expeditions did. This was on a new scale that you nor the others have anticipated. The sheer force of the explosion was only caused by one man.
(Y/n): Bertholdt... you had all that power and kept it to yourself until now... I was hanging around a goddamn bomb all the time and didn't realize it.
You snickered at the small fact that he could've killed you so easily without even trying.
Using your ODM gear, you scourged through the ruins of past homes to the families that lived here before you. You were looking for Eren and the rest of the gang, hoping they made it out alive.
After a short time, you see the outline of Eren's titan form hunched behind a building as cover.
(Y/n): Eren!
Eren turned his head, in response to your voice and while you shortened your distance you saw the others as well.
Sasha: Oh thank God, at least (Y/n) is still alive!
You landed on the edge of the rooftop that
Mikasa and Armin were on.
(Y/n): Is everyone alright?!
Jean: I think... that we're the only ones that are alive. The others must've perished from that blast.
You nodded in response to what he said. It was the only realistic outcome from what Bertholdt has done.
Connie: What about you? You don't look too good yourself.
Comparing yourself to the others, they looked like they don't have a scratch on them at all. Your clothes were ripped and dirty. You had visible bruises and cuts and you were feeling lightheaded. Most likely due to a concussion.
(Y/n): I'm fine. It's nothing I can't handle.
Mikasa: You were launched away from us and you say that you're fine? I thought that you'd died!
She furrowed her eyebrows to your nonchalant response to the wounds you had gained.
You sighed and patted her head to calm her frustrations.
(Y/n): I said I'm fine, little cousin, don't worry about me and worry about what we have to deal with right now in front of us.
Connie/Sasha: Wait she's your cous-
(Y/n): Focus. We need to figure out what to do right now.
Everyone looked at you, giving their full attention. In their minds, it seems that you always knew what to do but at this very moment... you don't. You didn't know what to do and it scares you. If they were to figure out that you didn't have a plan, they'll most likely lose their morale even more to the hopeless situation at hand.
The smell of embers and the sounds of the buildings being destroyed made you look at the cause of it. The Colossal Titan was destroying the houses from afar. Watching the debris in the air made you glad that you weren't in the vicinity of it as it could've landed on you.
Connie: H-hey... Those houses could drop on us... you think one of those houses is Eren's?
You looked at him knowing full well at what he's getting at.
