(Y/n): sigh" I'm sorry Freida..."you open your journal to a sketch of her" I couldn't get to Historia they say she just... disappeared without a trace I don't even know if she even is alive, but if she is I keep my promise and make sure she doesn't get harmed I'll do it from afar so that whoever took her doesn't get suspicious.
You stare at her sketch a little longer as if she would respond sighing as you close your journal leaning back into the wall slouching on the bench watching the people of Trost do there business recently the walls had been breached by a Titan who rivaled the walls height along with an armored one and your watching the current refugees line up for there food...as you wait
???: Damn brat!
Your attention is drawn to some soldier kicking a child down only to be saved by another
(Y/n): heh no different here then home.
Your attention is then brought to a couple men in trenchcoats sitting opposite to you on the streets a bit paranoid you stand up leaving the area as they follow from a distance
You reach a market walking in trying to blend with the crowd believing to be free from them your grabbed by the shoulder and shoved into a wall in an alley
???: Hey, squirt it's been some time huh "your silent watching him as he shoved you higher into the wall by his forearm a knife pressed against your throat" oh come on you haven't forgot about me...
(Y/n): w-what are you doing Kenny "you speak slowly in fear of cutting yourself by speaking too fast" Rod's dead your a free man y-you can do whatever you want...back to slitting t-throats?
Kenny: exactly boy and Rod doesn't want any loose ends.
(Y/n): y-you wouldn't kill a child right I don't wanna die!
Kenny: shouldn't have messed with the boss's eh daughter then.
You lift your leg in a desperate attack making him lean back to avoid, but letting you go on the process running to the exit of the alley it's blocked by those two in trenchcoats again using your size to your advantage you slip in between but they grab your jacket you pull your arms out of the sleeves reaching for your journal grabbing it by the front cover in haste the second one letting your jacket go grabbing your journal only managing to rip some pages out before your out pacing them in the streets
???: (Y/n)...(Y/n)...(Y/n)!
(Y/n): wha?
Sasha: you ok?
(Y/n): ...yeah, I'm fine just nervous you know.
Sasha: I understand I didn't believe I would be fighting people too.
Your riding horses alongside her waiting for the hearse to arrive
Sasha: is this what you had in mind when joining?
(Y/n): I...yeah, in a way...I'm still fighting for humanity sake and if it means I have to fight humanity to save it from itself than I will.
Sasha: that's pretty scary to be honest I don't know how you do it.
(Y/n): not exactly true.
Connie: but your so confident always laughing and calm.
Connie cuts in riding alongside you two
(Y/n): there have been times where I've almost died from the jaws of a Titan to the hands of man and in those times I'm always scared everyone isn't a stone wall...there are times when we crack.
Sasha: even Mikasa?
(Y/n): Mikasa, you, me, Connie, and even the captain it's our job as soldiers to protect humanity, but it's also our job to fear because that's our duty as humans.
Connie: wow...
After your psychological pep talk which even you don't know where it came from the gunshots are getting closer
Sasha: the gunfire so getting closer.
Jean: it's closing in.
Sasha: you can't chase someone in vertical manuevaring gear while shooting a gun "you raise your eyebrow in confusion having done that when chasing Reiner and Berthodlt in the forest" but...
Jean: and what MP could keep up with Levi's team.
(Y/n): the one who trained him.
Mikasa: it's here the hearse!
You all watch as Levi swings out from the archway of the wall people in 3DMG following him, but when you focus clearly you can see that rather using sword's there using guns conforming your theory...those three pages that the MP in your memory tore out...where the plans to the construction of your personal gear
Jean: wait...that gear it reminds me of...
Everyone faces you knowing that your gear resembled the one being used to chase Levi
(Y/n): I know what your all thinking, and no I would not betray my family for my own salvation.
???: Gaaah!
There attention is brought back to the captain watching as he swings into an MP cutting him in half shock written on everyone's face
Jean: he...cut him apart!
Sasha: where are the other three?!
(Y/n): we gotta go randevou with Armin!
They follow your lead your horses soon galloping behind Armin in the cart Levi landing on it
Armin: captain?!
Levi: stop chasing the hearse...our plan leaked were giving up on Eren and Historia for now...there plan was to use them as bait and kill the rest of the survey corps that's how they killed the three with me.
Armin: there's probably more ambushes up ahead.
Levi: Armin go left to open ground as fast as possible Sasha Connie you bring the horses.
Armin: okay!
Sasha/Connie: yes, sir!
Levi: Jean (Y/n) provide fire from the cart.
(Y/n): yes, sir
Jean: ...yes, sir
Levi: Mikasa, you and I will use vertical manuevaring equipment to assist in the escape.
Mikasa: what about Eren and Historia?
Levi: we just need to find a different way...and that's assuming we make it out alive understand?
Mikasa: yes, sir
Armin: captain! They're here multiple enemies from the right!
(Y/n): come on, Jean!
You rush your horse to gallop faster jumping into the wagon helping Jean climb on after as he reaches for a rifle, you simple take out your revolvers shooting at them without hesitation Jean looking at you in fear as you down two MPs already
Jean: damn it more people are dying! Why'd this happen?!
(Y/n): Jean, start shooting I can't do this alon- agh!
Your knocked off the cart losing one of your revovlers hanging on the side of the cart by an arm as the MP you shoved you swings around aiming at Armin only to be kicked down by Mikasa landing on the bed of the wagon
Jean: don't move!
Armin: Jean?!
(Y/n): shoot her, Jean!!
She gets up ignoring him
Jean: I said don't move!!
She knocked the rifle out of his hands falling into a corner of the wagon in shock aiming at her
(Y/n): JEAN!!
Mikasa swings in to save him as you try to climb back into the wagon switching the hands with your last revovlers to shoot aiming at the woman, but to the see the world slow down as a gunshot goes off blood flying in the air with Jean's hat the wagon buckles drawing you back to the working world seeing the woman's corpse hit the path seeing Armin with the pistol that shot her...shocked that he could do it
(Y/n): 'blondes...I swear'
Armin: where almost out of the town!
You climb back into the cart shooting at the MPs again not long your all passing the archway into the wilderness of wall Rose
Time skip
(Y/n): there we go buddy, just let it all out there's no shame...
Armin barfs out more as you pat his back the rustling of grass calls your attention looking up at Mikasa Armin hurling once again switching places as she now comforts him
Armin: Mikasa...did this happen to you too?
You leave the two to their personal matters entering the abandoned stable passing by Jean who looks at you walking to the back of the stable
Levi: hey..."You stop awaiting his response" don't tell me you didn't recognize your toy out there being used against us?
(Y/n): I didn't sell you out...
Levi: I believe you, I'm just asking how they had it.
(Y/n): my journal is missing pages when I was younger these men in trench coats followed me trying to run away one of them grabbed my journal it seems they mamaged to rip some pages out "you lift your hands sleeves falling down to show your grapples the one on your mechanical arm still with the wire wrapped around the plating bent and scratched" as you can see after losing those blueprints I tried to replicate them, but the originals are still better.
Levi: are there any weaknesses?
(Y/n): well for one there shouldn't have been a gun at the end of the hook so they can't shoot and grapple at the same time, and the second being that it also means they are completely defenseless at close range combat.
He nods as you take a deep breathe your stress slightly relieved sitting down on a opposite crate a screech is heard outside causing some to jump up in caution pulling your revolver out only for Sasha to calm everyone down
Sasha: don't worry it's a bird I recognize that noise anywhere.
You all sit back down enjoying the glow of the fire only for it to be ruined again by the screeching of a bird as you breathe in sharply in annoyance
(Y/n): I'm gonna see if I can do something about that bird.
Levi: sit...we don't need them finding us because you sent them a secret letter on that bird
(Y/n): ngh...how did-do...how do we know if's relaying our location "you can see the suspicion in his eyes" I'm just paranoid okay we're being hunted down to the last soldier.
Levi: there are still things your not telling us, Fritz...
That's when you notice that Jean is standing by the door Mikasa opposite to him Connie behind you watching your movements
(Y/n): even when I vowed that I wouldn't sell you out you still don't trust m eh?
Levi: I still trust you, (Y/n)...you're the one who isn't trusting us.
(Y/n): do you know how old this stable is..."you wait a couple seconds expecting none when you rush to the nearest wall" old enough to rot!!
You burst through the wall thanks to it's age running into the darkness of the forest grabbing stones from the ground you toss them in multiple directions to lure them off your path
time skip
It took long, but you found it the church that the Reiss family would pray in entering the doors finding it to be the exact same as any feudal church reaching the altar seeing nothing that would reveal anything in anger you sweep everything off the altar as they land on the carpet with a loud thud catching your attention
(Y/n): it should've been muffled?
You lift the carpet finding a hatch descending down the steps to a second door that opens to reveal a sea of crystal with pillars of crystal suspending the roof your so shock in awe that you don't notice Kenny drop behind you bringing his knife to your throat
Kenny: long time no see eh kid "he takes your last revolver placing it in his new holster" that completes the set...now walk Rod wants to see you.
You begin walking down the stairs
(Y/n): I can see your still following orders like a mutt-ah!
He smacks your hit with the barrel of his gun
Kenny: you've grown a pair since we last met, don't make me cut em off.
(Y/n): you wouldn't.
Kenny: do you want to test me, boy?
(Y/n): don't need to you would've down it as soon as when I entered the church.
Kenny: still smart and annoying as always.
???: sir, they're approaching!!
(Y/n): 'that fast!? well I was running here on foot who knows how many hours it's been.
Kenny: gh you two drag him to Rod.
They nod cuffing your hands and legs one of them carrying you
mini skip
Your carried deeper into the cavern when your dropped roughly shuffling around until your facing upwards at Rod and Historia behind them kneels Eren on an outcrop chained to the wall
Rod: (Y/n).
(Y/n): Rod, you son of a bitch you should be dead!
Rod: I spared your life once don't make me regret it.
(Y/n): why!? eh why couldn't you spare Florian, Urklyn, or Frieda!!
Historia: father, what does he mean?
That's when realization hits you Frieda's death, Eren's titan, and three living members of royal blood
(Y/n): no...no no no no, Rod leave her out of this!
Rod: it's best I show you, bring him with us.
You all go up the stairs leading to Eren where he has the MP force your hand to touch Eren as Rod and Historia do alongside him watching memories appear in your mind
???: please stop it! I told you everything let me go!
???: tsk tsk Mr. Fritz or Octavius which one do you prefer doesn't matter your all the same no matter what bloodline you are, filth.
You can feel their mouth being pried open
???: no no no, Sister! Sister!...Dinaghhhh!
You scream out in in pain feeling their pain as their tongue is cut out and soon as it appears it's soon replaced with another
???: Mr. Fritz, this is Sarah she will be your consort, don't worry her family is well acquainted with yours hmm...
???: pweasgh helgh meh...
You look at the woman her tied in a bun dressed almost like a maid seeing your reflection in her eyes revealing the image of a dirty mess of blonde hair and once lively blue eyes now bloodshot and dull before your now facing a window everything moving slowly watching the glass shatter crack by crack soon facing the ground when your cut off from the memory now facing the crystal floor panicking as you hit the ground hard hearing a snap wheezing in pain
Rod: how could you drop him!
???: I'm sorry, sir he started screaming and struggling I'll go get him.
(Y/n): mo-ther...I'm sorry.
Uncuffed from earlier you try to crawl, but feel agonizing pain collapsing on your own weight
(Y/n)" 'can't...breath...lungs...'"through blurry vision you make out Frieda's figure reaching out for her coughing up your own blood as your hand drops"...Frie-da...
Only for it in truth to actually be Kenny
Kenny: woah woah woah y'all still blabbering, the kid is down there coughing up a red flood did ya forget what just happened, the military's revolt was a success! good for them, right it's only a matter of time before they find this place hurry up and do what needs to be done.
Rod: yes that was my plan, but I told you that all anti-personal control squad members to leave here first, including you why are you still here?
Kenny: awful sorry king! did I make ya mad? I'm just here looking for a bathroom! I gotta go number 2 and you got one of my guys carrying wheezy over here!
Rod: leave the kid to me, Kenny I trust you go.
Kenny: tips off hat" likewise, king.
(Y/n): 'don't go...help...'
