As Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, Sour Sweet, and Sugarcoat quickly descended down the stairs to get away from a the bright light. Eren stopped and looked behind him. He watch in horror as Annie had a giant skeleton and muscles formed erupted from her. And just like that, Annie Leonhart was transformed into the Female Titan.
"We believe we've found out who the Female Titan is," stated Erwin "Her name is..."
"Annie!" finished Eren.
Annie had completed her transformation. Eren quickly descended down the stairs to get away from the explosion from her completed transformation. Then, a bright pillar of light towered over the Stohess District, alerting all the civilians.
Several days earlier
Before the plan had started, Levi and Eren were sitting in the dinning hall, inside the Scout's HQ. All three waited for Erwin to come down. From the sound of it, the news that he had was of the upmost importance. Levi was out of his military attire, instead wearing a long-sleeved shirt and comfortable pants while Eren was still in his Scouting Legion jacket.
"What's taking so long?" asked Levi. What the hell are Erwin's men? At this rate, the Military Police escort's going to show up before them."
Levi the lifted his cup and drank his tea.
"Must be having a hell of a hard time taking a shit," he said.
Eren let out a couple of hushed chuckles, uplifted that his captain was talking this much, despite the situation at hand.
"You're very talkative today, captain," stated Eren.
"Don't be stupid," said Levi, taking another sip. "I talk plenty."
Levi then finished his tea and placed his sup on the plate. He winced at his injured leg and started to stroke it. When Eren saw this and the guilt he had started to take him.
"I'm sorry," apologized Eren. "If only I hadn't made the wrong choice then, none of this would've happened."
"I told you, no one knows how things will turn out," explained Levi.
The door of the dinning room opened, Mikasa, Jean, Armin, Petra, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Sour Sweet, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, and Sugarcoat filed in.
"Sorry, I'm late," apologized Erwin.
"Not at all," assured Eren.
Eren soon noticed that his friends were in the same room, while some were missing.
"Guys," he accounted. "Wait, where are the others?"
"Fluttershy, Lemon Zest, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity didn't want to part of the plan, so they're somewhere else with the others," explained Sugarcoat. "So are they others that aren't present."
"We believe we've found out who the Female Titan is," said Erwin, getting Eren to gasp. "This time we will capture this time.
Erwin then laid down an entire map of the Stohess District. Mikasa, Armin, Eren, Jean, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Sour Sweet, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, and Sugarcoat all looked the upcoming plan.
"We do it the day after tomorrow, while passing through Stohess District on our way to the capital," explained Erwin. "This will be our first and last chance at her. Once on the other side, the government will take custody of Eren and we'll have difficulty investigating those bent on destroying the walls. Both of which will foster humankind's destruction. We'll have to bet everything on this operation."
Eren nodded in response.
"The plan is this. While passing through the Shotess, we use Eren as bait to lure the target into this underground passage. Given the target's size and strength, if we can get her as far down as possible we should be able to immobilize her in her Titan form. But, in the event that she transforms before then, it'll be up to you Eren."
"Yes, sir!" Eren responded. "Are we certain the target will actually be in the Shotess District, then?"
"Yes, the target is a member of the Military Police," answered Erwin.
"The Military Police?" wondered Eren.
"But, sir, there's many female MPs in the Shotess District," stated Rainbow Dash.
"I'll take forever to find her," said Sunny Flare.
"Calm down, Armin already identified her," stated Erwin.
"How?" wondered Rainbow Dash.
"We believe that she killed the two Titans we caught alive. She might have trained with you in the 104th Cadet Corps," stated Erwin.
"Wait! Hold on a minute!" panted Eren. "The 104th Cadet Corps."
"Military Police, female, 104th Cadet Corps," Twilight quietly pieced, then shot her head up.
"Wait, you don't mean..." gasped Twilight Sparkle.
"The name of the girl we believe to be the Female Titan..." Erwin began to reveal.
"You can't be serious..."
"It's impossible," said Sunset Shimmer.
"...is Annie Leonhart," finished Erwin.
The explosion of Annie's transformation killed the Scouts that were holding her down. The resulting explosion threw debris up into the air and destroyed the vicinity of buildings around the Female Titan. Mikasa, Eren, Armin, and the others had already turned the corner into the tunnel before the blast, protecting them. The pathway that lead down the stairs was littered with limbs and heads, strewn with blood, flesh and rubble.
"Shit!" hissed Rainbow Dash.
Then, the hand of the Female Titan crashed through to reach the passageway. Eren, Miksa, Armin, and the others got up and ran away from the giant hand trying to grab them.
"Dammit!" shouted Armin. "That ring! She knew I was lying from the very start! She saw the ambush coming from a mile away! Surely there must've been a better way!"
"It's almost impossible that she saw it coming!" shouted Sugarcoat.
"Save the regrets for later!" shouted Mikasa. "What should we do now?!"
"Don't we move on to Plan B?!" asked Twilight.
"Right!" shouted Armin. "First, we rendezvous with Squad 3 and get above ground. Then, we fight Annie, the Female Titan. Eren, you'll help catch her in your Titan form, just as we planned! Alright?!"
"Yeah!" shouted Eren.
"Hey!" yelled a Scout.
"It's Squad 3!" realized Applejack.
"Did capture Plan A failed?!" asked the Scout.
"It did!" yelled Sugarcoat.
"Switch to the backup plan!' yelled Armin.
Then, the Female Titan's foot came crashing down the tunnel, crushing the two Scouts. A wave of wind and dust flew the tunnels, covering Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the others. All of them shielded themselves from the dust and small pieces.
"Shit!" shouted Indigo Zap.
"She stomped through it?!" gasped Armin.
"She basically doing everything to kill us!" yelled Starlight Glimmer.
Eren was shocked to see the motionless limbs of the Scouts that the Female Titan crushed poking through the giant slabs of concrete and earth.
"We have to help them!" shouted Eren.
"Eren!" called Mikasa, grabbing Eren's hood. "Get back!"
"Hey! Mikasa!" called Eren.
"Does she not care if she kills you?!" wondered Mikasa.
"She took a gamble," said Armin. "She gambled on Eren surviving when she made that hole. This makes her all the more formidable!"
Armin and the others started running the opposite direction of the hole.
"Annie's that desperate to catch Eren now!" shouted Armin.
"Even if that means killing us!" shouted Sunset Shimmer.
Mikasa, Eren, Armin, Twilight, Applejack, Starlight, Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet all got into a safe distance from the Female Titan, for now.
"What are we gonna do y'all?" asked Applejack. "Our escape routes been cut off. Plus she'll be ready and waiting for us if we make a run for it with ODM. That said..."
Then, Applejack was cut off by the Female Titan's foot crashing through the top. Everybody shielded themselves from the dust filling the tunnel.
"If we stay here, there's not telling when she'll stomp on us," continued Applejack.
"Wait wasn't Plan B for Eren to transform?" asked Twilight.
"Right! I'll mange somehow!" shouted Eren. "Just like when I stopped that cannonball! Come here!"
Eren pulled Armin, Mikasa close to me, while the others walked up next to him.
"Here goes! Stay close!" shouted Eren.
Eren panted and looked at his hand. He then bit down his hand, blood splashed from his bite, but much to his surprise no light, or lighting bolt appeared. Eren bit down harder, enough to break the skin and. Everyone around Eren cringed as they heard the squishy sound of him biting down. Eren screamed in pain as he continued to bite down harder with all his might.
"Hurry up!" yelled Sour Sweet.
"Again?!" wondered Eren. "Goddammit!"
Eren bit down on his hand again, but fell on his knees from the pain.
"Off all the fucking times! Damn, that hurts!" winced Eren.
'You can't transform withour a clear goal, right?" asked Armin. "Try to focus again! Hard!"
"I'm trying, but it's not!" shouted Eren, biting harder.
"You're not trying hard enough!" yelled Sunny Flare.
"What do you what me to do?! Stab myself with a blade?!" asked Eren.
"Exactly, anything that draws blood!' yelled Sunny Flare.
Eren tried with all his strength and bit down the hardest he has ever done, but had the same result.
"Are you sure," asked Mikasa, kneeling next to him. "Could it be that you still have qualms about fighting Anne?"
"Eren?" called Armin.
"After all this, don't tell me you still think that Annie can't possibly be the Female Titan," said Mikasa. "What did you see just now? She killed our comrades, you know Do you still think it's not her?"
"Give me a break!" shouted Eren. "I'm trying here!"
Eren bit down on his hand again with the last of his strength, exposing the muscles of his hand and more blood pour from the bite.
"Annie's the Female Titan?!" asked Eren. "What makes you think that, Armin?"
"Annie can't be the Female Titan," said Rainbow Dash. "She's cool and she helped us in Trost."
"The Female Titan knew what you looked like from the start," explained Armin. "Plus, she reacted to your nickname of "suicidal maniac", something only our classmates would know. The biggest reason, though, is that I believe she killed the test subjects Sawney and Beane."
"The two Titans that Hange kept?" asked Twilight.
"How do you know that?" asked Eren.
"Killing them would've required real skill, so she would've used the ODM gear she'd become accustomed to," answered Armin.
'Yeah, but they held that equipment inspection," stated Eren.
"How did she pass if she killed Sawney and Beane?" asked Sugarcoat. "The MPs should have noticed."
"Because she presented Marco's gear," answered Armin. "That's how she avoided being caught."
"What are saying?" asked Eren. "What does Marco got to do with this?"
"I'm not sure," answered Armin.
"Maybe you just saw wrong," suggested Eren.
"No, I definitely recognized..." said Armin.
Levi than cuts off Armin.
"Hey kid," called Levi. "We get it? Any other evidence to share?"
"No, sir," said Armin.
"Wait, Jean," called Twilight.
"What is it?" asked Jean.
"You said you saw Marco's body, right?" asked Twilight.
Jean nodded in agreement. She then asked a question to him.
"Did he have ODM gear on when he died?" asked Twilight.
"No, he didn't," answered Jean.
"Twilight you're a genius!" shouted Armin.
"But that could be any other cadet's ODM gear," said Eren.
"Armin when you saw Marco's ODM gear what were the details you saw?" asked Twilight.
"I saw some starches marks on it and when Annie presented it it had the same marks in the same position," answered Armin.
"Bingo!" shouted Twilight.
"Personally, I think Annie and the Female Titan look alike, also," stated Mikasa.
"Are you crazy?!" asked Eren. "What the hell is that kind of evidence is..."
Levi then broke in.
"So, basically we're going after her without proof," concluded Levi.
"Without proof?" wondered Eren. "You can't be serious. why? What if it isn't Annie"
"If it isn't Annie, then she'll be cleared of suspicion," answered Mikasa.
"I'll feel bad for causing her trouble if that happens," said Armin. "But, if we don't do anything, the government will make you a sacrificial victim out of you."
"You guys are crazy, distrusting Annie," said Eren.
"Eren," called Mikasa. "Does this talk about Annie ring any bells?"
Eren the suddenly remembers the forest battle. He saw the Female Titan's position in combat.
"You fought hand-to-hand with the Female Titan," stated Mikasa. "Did you see her use any techniques that only Annie uses."
Eren then remembers the Female Titan lifting up her fist, similar position like Annie. He then remebers the way the Female Titan kicked him, similar to Annie.
"You know, don't you?" asked Mikasa.
"You know the Female Titan is Annie," she said.
Eren was still conflicted about the situation, even as he looked upon his bleeding hand.
"Then you know yopu have to fight," said Mikasa. "Or are there certain, special feelings stopping you?"
"What?" asked Eren.
It remained silent, until Armin broke the tension by drawing out a blade out of his sheaths.
"I have a plan," said Armin. "Mikasa, Twilight, Starlight, Sunset, Rainbow, Applejack, Indigo, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Sunny, and I will exit that hole and the entrance at the same time. At one point, Annie will go after one of us. When she does, run the opposite way, Eren."
Armin put his hood back on and started heading towards the hole that the Female Titan's foot crashed through.
"Wait! Does that mean one of you all will get killed?!" wondered Eren.
"Eren, if we stay here, all of us will die," stated Sugarcoat.
"Rainbow, Applejack, Indigo, Sunny, go with Mikasa," said Armin. "The rest of you are with me."
Mikasa, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Indigo Zap, and Sunny Flare all put her hoods on.
"Mikasa! Get in position!" ordered Armin.
"Right! We'll take this way!" said Mikasa.
Mikasa, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, and Sunny Flare took out a new blade and started running towards the exit. Armin, Twilight, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Starlight, and Sunset went towards the hole that the Female Titan's foot crashed through.
"Mikasa! Girls!" called Eren. "Armin! How are you guys able to fight?! HOW?!"
Mikasa then stopped in her tracks, causing Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Indigo Zap, and Sunny Flare to stop too. Mikasa then looked back at Eren.
"We don't have a choice. We live in a cruel world."
Mikasa and the others continued their way to the exit, leaving Eren all alone. Eren the looked at his hand, unable to believe what he was doing to fight and stop an old friend-turned-enemy. Then, ground began to shake, as Eren looked up, the ceiling and gave way, the debris falling on top of him, crushing him.
Outside, the Female Titan looked around her area, wondering where the exit, which her target would come out. Armin and the others saw that the Female Titan's strike was close to Eren.
"Eren!" called Armin.
"Already?! How?!" shouted Sour Sweet. "We just started."
Armin, Twilight, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Starlight, and Sunset all swung towards the Female Titan. As Armin and the others swung towards Eren, the Female Titan looked to her right and saw Mikasa, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, and Sunny Flare running out the exit. Mikasa swung towards the Female Titan, while the others fell behind for assistance. as Mikasa was about to slice the Female Titan, she grabbed Mikasa.
"Mikasa!" called Rainbow Dash, swinging towards her.
"Wait! Rainbow!" called Applejack.
Mikasa then freed herself by slicing the Female Titan's fingers. Rainbow Dash saw Mikasa get free, but didn't fall back. She then followed Mikasa.
"I won't let you have Eren!" shouted Mikasa.
She then spotted Rainbow Dash swinging towards the Female.
"Rainbow Dash!" called Mikasa. "What are you doing?! You'll get killed!"
"I don't care!" shouted Rainbow Dash. "I'm killing this backstabbing bitch!"
Mikasa then got up and swung towards the Female Titan, helping Rainbow Dash.
Back at the rumble, Armin, Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sour Sweet, and Sugarcoat landed near the rumble.
"Eren!" called Armin.
"We're coming!" shouted Twilight.
Eren was unconscious and buried by a large piece of wall, his legs were bend completely, his head was bleeding.
"Girls help me get Eren out of this!" shouted Armin.
Armin lifted a piece of wall that Eren was under, while Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet removed all the rumble that Eren was under. The Female Titan saw what Armin and the others were doing and started to heads towards them. Twilight looked and saw the Female Titan getting closer.
"Uh... Armin!" called Twilight.
Armin looked and saw the Female Titan heading towards them. Then, behind her, Mikasa and Rainbow Dash attempted to swing in front of her. The Female Titan attempted to swipe at them, but both of them dodged the swipe and sliced part of the Female's hand. The Female dragged her hand across multiple roofs, launching rumble towards Rainbow Dash and Mikasa.
A piece of the roof hit Mikasa, while a piece hit Rainbow Dash in the head. Both of them rolled on the ground and laid there, not moving. The Female Titan paid no attention to Mikasa and Rainbow Dash on the ground, but still when towards Armin and the others.
"Mikasa! Rainbow!" shouted Applejack
Ahead of the Female Titan, multiple Scouts intercepted the female Titan.
"Don't let the Female Titan escape!" yelled the Scout.
"We can't let her escape!" yelled another Scout.
The fingers of the Female Titan had regenerated and was ready to fight the incoming Scouts in front of her.
Back at the Military Police escort, the MPs all stopped and saw the large pillar of smoke rising from the other side of the Shotess District.
"What the hell is going on?" wondered Nile. "Escort Squad! I'll hold this position"
"Understood!" yelled Marlo, raising up his sword.
Marlo and Hitched ran off and swung towards the pillar of smoke.
"Something's up," said Nile to himself. "First there was a big boom, and now..."
Then, Erwin, Levi, who was wearing a black jacket, and Petra, who was wearing a white blouse and brown pants stepped out of the wagon.
"Nile!' called Erwin. "Deploy all troops immediately. We should assume that a Titan has appeared."
"Are you crazy?!" asked Nile. "This is Wall Sina, you know! No Titan would appear here!"
"Nile, remember Eren?" asked Petra.
"Yeah, the boy that can turn into a Titan," said Nile. "He's in the wagon."
"There is a person besides Eren that can turn into a Titan," stated Petra.
"What?! impossible!" shouted Nile.
Then the wagon holding "Eren Jaeger" opened, and "Eren Jaeger" hopped out of the wagon.
"Halt! Stop right there, Jaeger!' shouted the MP.
"I'm through with playing dressing-up!" grunted Jean, removing the wig, shocking the MP in the process and allowing him to run. "Never call me that goddamn name again, you asshole!"
Jean ran towards Erwin, Levi, and Petra.
"Commander! I want to help, too!" declared Jean.
"Ask Squad 4 for equipment," said Erwin.
"Understood!" shouted Jean, putting on his cloak.
Petra wanted to go and fight, but saw Levi's hand holding her hand. Levi shook his head, knowing that Petra is the only original member that survived. Petra then stayed close to Levi, visibly blushing.
"Bravado is fine and all that shit, but just remember to stay alive," said Levi.
"Yes, sir!"
Jean started to running forwards, getting his ODM gear and passing a flabbergasted Nile.
"Erwin!" shouted Nile. "What the hell was that?!"
"Commander I bought it!" shouted a Scout with a case.
When the Scout landed he opened the case, containing a new, spotless ODM gear with fresh blades.
"Good work," complimented Erwin.
"Thank you, sir!"
Erwin then placed his ODM gear on into the latches on his harness.
"Hold on, Erwin!" shouted Nile.
"All able-bodied soldiers, follow me!" ordered Erwin, ignoring Nile. "We're going to the rendezvous with the Capture Squad!"
Erwin walked forward and the Scout that brought Erwin's ODM gear rocketed off to help capture the Female Titan.
"Erwin! Stop!" demanded Nile, pointing his musket at Erwin.
As Nile pointed Erwin at gun point, the MPs behind Nile all pointed their muskets at Erwin. Petra quietly gasped, scared of what would happen to her commander and held Levi's hand tightly.
"You're committing a clear act of treason against the royal government!" stated Nile.
"Nile," called Levi. "Are you as rubbish-brained as you look? You don't seem to understand what's happening here."
"Remove your gear, Erwin!" demanded Nile.
Erwin continued to look at Nile, unwilling to yield to his demands and knowing that he wouldn’t pull the trigger.
On the other side, masses of civilians were running away for their lives, screaming and panicking. All of them saw the Female Titan and the fight between the Scouts was beginning to unfold. The MP could only watch as the creature they avoided was now in the city.
"A Titan!" screamed a female civilian. "There's a Titan!"
"What's it doing here?!" asked a male civilian.
"What about the wall?!" asked another male civilian.
"Hey... That's a Titan, right?" asked an MP on a rooftop.
"Yeah? Why?" asked another MP.
As the civilians of the Shotess District continued to flee from the Female Titan, Jean was running the opposite direction and was heading towards the MP. Jean couldn't help and looked at the MP, who were on the rooftops.
"Just look at them, not giving a shit," Jean thought. "And to think that could've been me up there too."
"Man, what got into me?" Jean wondered. "Damn!"
Back at the battlefield, waves of Scouts were coming in all directions towards the Female Titan.
"Don't try to kill her! We just need to stop her!" yelled a Scout.
A Scout zipped past the Female Titan. The Female Titan attempted to grab the Scout, but he dodged it and continued to zip. Another Scout caught him and threw him to the Female Titan. The Scout that was thrown drew out two blades and was about to attack the Female, but the Female Titan pulled the Scout's wire, and the Scout crashed into a building, killing him. The Female Titan then grabbed another Scout's wire and spun him around to another building.
"It's no use!" shouted a Scout. "She's familiar with ODM maneuvers!"
Then, Mikasa, Applejack, Indigo Zap, Sunny Flare, and Rainbow Dash, who has blood running from her head injury zipped towards the Female Titan.
"I won't make this easy for you!" shouted Mikasa.
"You backstabbing bitch!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
Mikasa sliced the Achilles tendon of the Female Titan, Rainbow Dash sliced the Soleus, Indigo Zap sliced the calf muscle, and Applejack sliced the ankle in front.
Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet helped Armin to flip over a huge piece of slab off Eren, hoping he would wake up.
"Eren! Say Something!" shouted Starlight Glimmer.
"Eren!" called Armin.
Then, Jean landed behind them.
"Hey! What the hell are all doing?!" he asked.
"Jean! Eren's stuck under here!" shouted Armin.
"What?! Wasn't he supposed to turn into a Titan?!" asked Jean.
"He couldn't!" Sour Sweet answered.
"I think the fact the Female Titan is Annie is holding him back," said Sugarcoat.
"What?!" shouted Jean.
"For now, we've gotta help him!" shouted Armin. "Jean give us a hand!"
Armin, Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet tried to lift up a slab off of Eren.
"He couldn't do it?" asked Jean quietly, his brow furrowing in anger.
Jean then went up to the unconscious Eren.
"Dammit, Eren!" shouted Jean. "Quit screwing around! I told you we'd need to count on you someday! We're forced to put the world, humankind, and our lives in your hands, and this is all you have to show for it?! Marco didn't... Marco can't have... Dammit!"
Eren slowly opened his eyes up. Suddenly, a large chuck on concrete flew into a bell tower, destroying the top of the tower, causing a slab to ricochet towards Eren and the others.
"Watch out!" shouted Sunset Shimmer.
"Oh shit!" yelled Sour Sweet.
Everyone that was around Eren got away from the slab. Armin, Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet rolled on the ground. Once the dust cleared, all of them looked to see that Eren was trapped by large portions of the building wall, a wooden support had drove into Eren's right-upper torso.
"Eren!" called Armin.
"It's no use!" shouted Jean. "We've gotta do something about her first!"
"The bitch is coming!" shouted Starlight Glimmer.
Jean then drew out a blade and ran straight towards Eren. Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sugarcoat, and Sour Sweet all followed Jean, leaving Armin alone. Armin then looked at Eren.
"Eren," called Armin as Eren slowly opened his right eye. "I said something to Jean recently. To rise above monster, we have to abandon our humanity. What we fight, we become fire with fire. Look at her, Annie can do it. I don't know why. But there it is. Simple. You have to match her heartlessness to win!"
Armin then got up and started running towards the Female Titan.
Back at the Female Titan, a Scout attempted to slice the female Titan's leg, but the female Titan crushed him into a building. The Female Titan then grabbed a Scout's wire and spun him around and a third Scout's wire. She then tossed them into a building, killing them.
"Annie!" called Armin. "If you don’t kill me this time, your feeble excuses about "you real bet starting now" will be worthless!"
As the Female Titan turned to see Armin, Jean and Sour Sweet swung down from behind and raised his hands over his head, his swords trained for the neck. As Jean brought the swords down, the Female Titan put her hands over its neck and hardened her skin, causing both of their blades to break. Both pushed off of its hand and flew off behind it.
"Shit! That didn't do anything!" shouted Sour Sweet.
"Armin!" called Jean. "This way!"
"Understood!" shouted Armin, running and zipping off. "Girls! Follow us!"
"Right behind you!" shouted Starlight Glimmer.
The Female Titan saw Armin and the others zipping off and started to give chase. Jean was in the lead, followed by Sour Sweet. Armin, Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, and Sugarcoat followed both of them, while the Female Titan was pursuing them.
"Uh... is it just me, or is she catching up to us," said Sunset Shimmer.
"It's a human inside!" shouted Sugarcoat. "What did you expect?!"
Further down the street, Hange knelt upon the roof with the trigger to the special target restraining weapon that they used in the Forest of Giant Trees. She was giggling maniacally, scaring Moblit, who was next to her.
"She's coming... She's coming," Hange chuckled.
"Section Commander," called Moblit. "You have that crazy look in your eyes."
Her crazed smile widened as Armin, Twilight, Sunset, Starlight, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, and Jean zipped through. Then, the Female Titan ran by and saw Hange next to her. Hange then pulled the trigger on the weapon, releasing a plethora of spike-ended wires fired at her face. Below them, more canons were firing out at the titan’s legs and waist, immobilizing her.
The Female Titan desperately tried to grab Armin, Jean, and the others. All of them avoided the grab and zipped away from the Female Titan. The Female Titan tried her hardest to get out of the restrains, but it only made the ropes hold her tightly. Finally, the wires that latched on the Female Titan yanked her and fell onto the street. On top of the rooftops, two Scouts released a net covered in spikes, which then landed on the Female Titan's skin, piercing it.
With the Female Titan caught once again, Armin, Twilight, Sunset, and Starlight swooped back down to the street to stand guard over the titan with several other Scouts that surrounded it. Hange looked upon the sight of their capture with pride, Hange twirling the rope-trigger in her hand.
"We did it," said Twilight.
"Alright!" Hange exclaimed. "Personally, I though having Plan C seemed like overkill. But Commander Erwin really does know his stuff."
Hange stops twirling the trigger and swings down towards the Female Titan.
"Now then," she said. "I suggest you be a good girl and behave yourself."
Then, Mikasa, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap, and Sunny Flare appeared from behind the weapon and looked at the captured Female Titan. Rainbow Dash still had blood running down her face from her head injury and hissed in pain.
"Hey, you good?" asked Mikasa.
"Yeah, I'm fine," responded Rainbow Dash. "This is worth it for the capture."
Hange then placed her hand on the Female Titan's bottom eyelid and held the end of her blade towards the Female Titan's eye.
'You can't call any Titans to eat you this time," said Hange, her eyes raged and prying. "But don't you worry. I'll savoir the information I prise out of you instead.
Then, the Female Titan kicked out and slid her legs across the weapons destroying them that were lined on the streets. All the Scouts jumped and got out of the way from her foot. Everyone landed on the rooftops dodging the chucks of wood flying.
"What the hell?!" shouted Indigo Zap.
"She broke free?!" asked Mikasa.
"Looks like we didn't set enough traps!" realized Hange. "Don't let her escape! After her!"
The Female Titan got up and started to run away from the Scouts. Jean, Armin, Twilight, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, Starlight, and Sunset started to chase after the Female Titan.
Back at the rubble, Eren still laid there, not moving a muscle. He then remembers what Armin said to him earlier.
"To raise above monsters. We have to abandon our humanity."
"Yeah, I know," Eren mused. "That's why. That's why my comrades died, because I couldn't let go."
Eren the remembers Gunther's dangling body, Eld's upper body severed, Lightning Dust's crushed body, Oruo's body laying on the ground. He then remembers his mother getting eaten in front of his eyes and the whole reason why he joined the Scouts. His eyes widened as the memory of his mother getting eaten.
Eren tried to get up using all his strength, but the wooden pillar in his chest held him down. Eren far too furious to even care. The Female Titan has gotten away with deaths of his comrades. As Eren gnashed his teeth together, the pressure making his gums bleed, he pushed into the wood and ground up it, getting ready to fight.
"I swore to kill them all, every last one!" Eren declared.
The Scouts continued to chase the Female Titan down. Mikasa and Rainbow dodged one her swipes and got in front of the Female Titan. The Female Titan picked her leg up and kicked Mikasa and Rainbow dead center.
Both of them fell to the ground, Mikasa used her gas, trying to hover above the ground, but with Mikasa's efforts, her wires tangled her feet, causing her to roll and become unconscious. While tried to use Mikasa's technique, but was to disoriented, causing her to hit her head, injuring her more, knocking her out.
"There's no time to think, it doesn't matter anymore!" Eren declared. "Just kill! Consequences be damned! DAMNED!!!"
"Mikasa, Rainbow!" called Armin.
"Because it is a cruel world!"
With all the anger and injuries building up in his body, Eren lets out a loud screamed that turned into a roar. Then, a giant yellow lightning bolt struck at Eren's place.
From the escort team, Nile and the MPs saw the lighting bolt striking down, taking his eyes off of Erwin and looking behind him.
"What now?!" he shouted.
Erwin looked at the lightning bolt and knew that Eren had transformed. Petra saw the lightning bolt and knew that it was time to put the Female Titan down.
The lightning bolt continued until it died down. Everything had stopped and wondered about the lightning bolt. The Female Titan even stopped and knew what was coming at her. All the soldiers stood in complete silence.
Then, giant footsteps came running down. The footsteps became louder and louder causing the MPs to look at what was coming. The windows nearby broke as Eren's Titan lets out a loud and savage roar and punched the Female Titan's face. The force of the punch was enough to cause the Female Titan to be launched into a building. Eren's Titan stood in front of the Female Titan, breathing in and out.
"Eren!" called Armin.
"Well I'll be," said Applejack.
"Eren..." whispered Mikasa, getting up.
Rainbow Dash got up and now had a river of blood pour down from her injury. She saw Eren's Titan in front of them. Eren's Titan then started to charge at the Female Titan. as the Female Titan got up, she saw was Eren's Titan letting out a roar and charging at her.
