In the year 845, Two terrifying new breeds of Titan appeared
The Colossal and the Armored
Barreling through the outer walls as if wholesale destruction was child's play
The territory couched within the circle of wall Maria was abandoned
20% of the human race perished
As the Titan onslaught advanced our only choice was to his draw behind Wall Rose
Five years later the Colossal Titan reappeared in Trost
Humanity had failed to stop the titan onslaught
Cadet Eren Yaeger tragically consumed early on in the bath
Later emerged miraculously from the Fallen body of an abnormal !
One more time are you a human being or a Titan ?
I'm human
So you say
i'm left with no choice
[Daz]: Those things
They've just kept coming
It's a nightmare
[Marco]: Take it easy
I watch those monsters eat my squad
I saw my friends die I didn't even feel anger or sadness at the whole thing
All I could think was "better you than me"
But soon...one of we all will be up to
That will be it
We're supposed to fight those Titans until they eat every last one of us
I don't want to be eaten screw this
Hey Come on keep it together okay
You're not alone you know, we're all fighting back our fear
Look at Sasha, even after what she seen she remains a proper soldier
My stomach aches might carry me away with the wounded
[Daz]: Let me go I.... [Marco]: Hold on, stop it
[Jean]: Ah the order to keep our mouth shut makes perfect sense now
As if the situation isn't bad enough already
Ah if they knew about Eren
Cannon-fire...but why just one shot?
Look
smoke
It's inside the wall
Did it bust down the water gate?
Impossible it's the dirtiest part of the whole wall
Maybe they set up a show by accidents
But then why is there so much smoke
Not now, is that Titan steam?
Hey
[Reiner]: What the hell is that ?
It's a live
[Rico]: Captain Woermann
[Woermann]: let's see what it does maintain your distance
All squads remain alert
It could strike at anytime
Artillery group get that cannon reloaded
What is that ?
I know heard the fire the cannon has and then...
Then was a tremendous crash of a blast of heat
Apparently, we're now in the innards of a giant skeleton
Eren did this for us Armin that's all we need to understand for now
Those flowers weren't there before how did they ?
Armin, Mikasa
Hey are you guys all right ?
Eren...how did you
I don't know but look
It's already starting to vaporize just like the corpse of a Titan
Let's get out of here
Hard to tell if they're watching and waiting
We're just totally dazed
It suppose it doesn't really matter much either way
I'm sure once the smoke clears they'll resume the attack
After seeing this I think we've blown any hope of reasoning with them
The cellar...I'm starting to remember
this key...our house in Shiganshina
My father said I'd have to go back there everything hinged on it
I think it's why he gave me the power to transform
If I can make it back to his cellar
I might learn the Titan's secret
Why did he keep this stuff secret
How many thousands of scouts have already died because my father didn't share this information
It could be the last chance humanity has
And the answer has been hidden away under our house this entire time?
Is he insane? Damn you
Where have you been these last five years dad ?
Eren...
We have other business to deal with
Right
get ready the smokes clearing
-As soon as you see it blast it -Do it before it gets us
Hold your fire
listen
I'm getting out of here
Where? and how?
Anywhere but here then I head over the wall and straight to Shiganshina
But I'll have to become a Titan again
You can transform at well?
To be honest I don't know how I'm doing it Armin
I just know that I can
It's hard to put into words but it was like a reflexive, see?
In that moment, my mind subconsciously focused on stopping the Cannonball
That's why it's decaying, it only had the endurance to meet that task
Next time I'll be stronger
I'll be a 15 meter high Titan slayer just like I was before
Eren
Your nose is
Your breathing is erratic and you're pale
Something's wrong Eren you're not well
That thing stands my health is irrelevant
But I have two ideas
You two could make it out of here alive
If you stop trying to protect me
I've brought you nothing but trouble as it is
I'm doing this on my own from this point forward
You're kidding
Eren
I'm coming too
No way
I plan to follow you whether you give me permission to or not
I swear I'll never leave your side
Mikasa stop it I'm being serious here
I'm not your little brother and I'm not some snot-nosed toddler
Captain Woermann, the cannon is almost reloaded
We're ready sir what are your orders for the next attack
All troops will await my signal
Yes sir
As it stands the garrison regiment isn't ready to assault our position yet
If they were, Mikasa would've reacted faster than a stray cat
I would assume we have a well-trained artillery crew above us
That cannon ought to be reloaded in the next 20 seconds
Eren will most likely spring into action to be long gone before that happens
Why am I thinking of that at a time like this?
Is it
Is because this is the end for us?
When it's all said and done
At the moment of truth
I was a coward
The same as right now
I can't count the number of times they have come to my rescue
I was always so weak
I could never reciprocate the favor
I still haven't earn the right to think of myself as their equal
I can't afford to try and repay their kindness by going with them
I'm only here to slowing them down
I'm afraid
This might be
The last time the three of us will ever be together
Listen I won't
Just wait a second would ya
If you recall I said I had two ideas
Armin I trust you to make the right decision
Now hear me out
And yes I'm aware of how unrealistic this plan is
The best-case scenario I try to use my Titan ability strategically, under military direction
This might sound crazy
But if you think you can convince the garrison regiment
Right here and now
That I present no threat to them
I'll trust you and we'll go with that option
That's my second idea
If you don't think you can get it done then my last resort is the first idea
You've got 15 seconds to decide
Think you can get it done?
Listen I'll respect your opinion either way
Eren why would you leave such a major decision up to me?
Because you keep a level head
You always choose well no matter how ugly things get
I figure that's worth relying on
When have I done that?
Come on you do it all the time
Take five years ago
If you hadn't gone to Mr.Hannes for help me
Mikasa and I would have been eaten by the Titans
That's how you see me?
You don't think I'm a poor excuse or a friend
I had convinced myself that was just a burden to all of you
But you never
You never thought of me that way at all
Armin...our time's up
Artillery crew has reloaded captain it's your call sir
Eren and Mikasa have enough faith in me to put their lives in my hands
And I have complete trust in the two of them
More than anyone else in this world
And that fact alone is all the convincing I need
I will persuade them trust me
You two just act as non aggressively as you possibly can, agreed ?
Since Eren first appeared and fought as a Titan
Something has been gnawing in the back of my mind
I haven't had a chance to collect my thoughts yet
But I can do this, I'll just have to think as I talk
Halt..halt
Is that supposed to be a truce for a monster?
I don't buy it I'll give the signal to fire I mean it
Eren is not a foe of humanity
We're willing to cooperate with military command and share everything we've learned about his powers
You all please fall on deaf ears
He revealed this true form and because of that threat he cannot leave here alive
If you insist he's not an enemy of ours show me proof
Otherwise we'll blast them back to whatever nightmare he crawled out of
You don't need any proof
That's right, there is no need at all
The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter what we perceived him to be
What?
The reports say hundreds of soldiers saw him
And those who were there say they saw him fighting other Titans
And that means they saw him get swarmed by the Titans as well
To put it plainly
The Titan saw him the same way they see each and every human being, as their prey
And it doesn't matter how else you may look at it
That is an irrefutable fact
Kid's got a point
Prepare to attack
Don't let yourself be swayed by his conning lies
The Titans behavior has always been beyond our comprehension
I wouldn't put it past him to assume human form
He's speaking our language it's hopeless and attempt to deceive us
I refuse to let that cantankerous behavior unshackled
It's hopeless
He let watching give way to hysteria
Too frighten to think it through
Eren
Mikasa
I am a soldier and I have dedicated my heart to the restoration of humanity, Sir
Nothing can make me prouder than dying for such a noble cause
If we were to use his Titan ability and combine it with the men power we have left
I believe we can do it we can retake this city
For Humanity's glory and what little time we have left to live
I will advocate his strategic value
Captain Woermann, his words are worth considering sir
Maybe we sho-
Quiet
Don't let that work sway ya they all traitors
I sworn oath as an officer
I'll crush all insubordination
That's enough
You should really do something about your nervous disposition captain Woermann
Commander Pixis
Can you not see this soldiers heartfelt salute
I've only just arrived but I'm quite aware of our situation
Gather our reinforcements
I think we could at least do these young soldiers the favor of hearing them out
According to reports from the Scout regiment
It was anticipated that the Titans would appear from the south
These reports were proven accurate when the Titans attacked Shiganshina district
Located on the south side of wall Maria
Therefore it was surmised that their next most likely target would be the fortified city of Trost
On the southern side of wall Rose
Dot Pixis the commanding officer responsible for the southern territory
The man in charge of the defense of Trost district
The man given full authority over preserving humanity's most vital remaining territory
Nope...not any of you
Eaten by a Titan wouldn't be so bad
If it was a sexy lady one
The man also notorious for being genuinely eccentric
What the hell is going to the commander's head
Going out there with those freaks and not bringing any bodyguards?
Well sir
That's the commander
He's well known for taking a less traditional approach
Captain Woermann
We have finished assembling the troops sir
AH...well done
That's that so visiting this cellar should clear everything up ?
Yes sir
Well at least I think so
For the moment there is no way to validate all of the claims you've made
For now I'll just catalog them in here
With that said
I can usually tell the difference between the unctuous and the sincere
Which is why I personally guarantee your safety
You're cadet Armin Arlet is that correct?
Yes sir
You mentioned a plan to harness this so called Titan ability
And then utilize your friends power to retake the city
Do you believe it could work
Or were you grasping at straws to try and save your hides
Oh well...
Both commander
I was going to suggest that Eren using his strength as a Titan
Could lift that giant boulder we could use it to block off the wrecked gate
That was the best idea I was able to come up with on the spot
I just wanted to make everyone see how Eren's ability might provide a solution to the problem we all face
Granted I was pretty desperate to survive
Desperate to survive huh...
That's as credible a reason as any son
What do you say cadet Yaeger
Say sir?
That hole do you think that you could plug it up son
Uh...well I...I don't know
It's possible
But at the moment I don't understand my power any more than you do
it's just I sort of feel irresponsible giving you an answer
Because I don't really know
Ah yes...of course my apologies
I asked you the wrong question
Are you willing to cadet Yaeger or not?
I'll do it
I don't know if I could seal that hole
But...I'll do it
Despite having fled in terror before
The survivors choose to stand on the field of battle once again
Eren's mind is made up I will be everyone's hope
