Chương 28: (27) 57th Expedition (3)

Levi looked down at the Titan and said "I wonder who's been hiding inside you all of this time" He looked back at Erwin and waited for a command. "Fire the rest of the cannons" Erwin shouted down towards the people who set it up. They nodded and fired the rest into the female Titans body. He next looked at Levi.

Nodding his head, Levi jumped down on the Titans head. And begun speaking to it. He was pretty pissed, but it didn't show in his face. The female Titan didn't speak but it seemed to wait for something, it went completely quiet and the Titan suddenly moved its mouth open.

A loud roar was heard from the Titan, trying to say something. At the edge of the forest, Sasha was freaked out by the roar. She saw that Mikasa was about to leave and stopped her. "Don't go! Back when I lived in the forest, only animals who were on their last straw would do this. It's like a call for others to help it out of their misery." Mikasa nodded and stayed due to the fact that it wasn't Erens scream.

Meanwhile Aria was watching on the sidelines a little worried. Due to the mission she acquired, they was no way of telling were she had to save Annie.

Yimir had already gone back to find her horse and meet up with the other squads hanging out at the edge of the forest. She quietly slipped in and found Christa on her own. She smiled happily and secretly appeared behind her. She leaned her head against Christa's shoulders and said "I finally found you". Chrsita yelped and turned around to face Yimir.

"Missed me?" Yimir smirked while Christa was looking at her pouting. "Were we're you?" Christa asked looking at Yimir.

"Oh I came from another area. I heard they caught a Titan." Bertholdt heard this and had a worrying look on his face. He knew Annie was going to catch Eren today, but didn't know how she would do it. But now it seemed a little complicated, he resisted the urge to find Reiner and stay in this group.

...

After the scream, Mike who was apparently able to smell Titans informed Erwin that Titans we're approaching from all directions. Erwin shouted out a few commands to kill the titans but the titans ignored the soldiers and went for the Female Titan. They started to rip its flesh off, while trying to find the real body.

Aria saw Annie get away under the smoke cover while Erwin ordered a full retreat. Levi ordered his squad go back while left with commander Erwin. They nodded and started to fly through the forest. A green smoke appeared in the air so they followed that to get to the main group. However it was a diversion set for the squad.

Annie had just launched the flair and pulled up the green hood. She took off in the direction of the squad, while secretly being followed by Aria. The squad was flying through the forest when Gunther Schultz saw a hooded figure flying next to them. "Hey, who are you! Show yourself" Before he could react, the person flew in and sliced across his neck. Eren shouted his name and checked up on him. However he was pushed on by Oluo Bozado to not stop.

The group were trying to figure who it was. Oluo Thought about it and said "Female Titan" the group knew instantly who it was. However, the person had disappeared from sight. They couldn't go for the horses so they went straight for HQ. They couldn't get any further before a blinding orange light appeared behind them. Out of it came a sprinting Female Titan that was heading straight for them. Eren saw this and angrily shouted something about getting beaten but Eld Jinn stopped him from transforming. "Stop, the three of us will kill the female Titan. You return to the HQ at full speed."

Being Eren, he shouted "I'll fight too" Eld stoped him and Oluo came up to him "you don't believe in us." He gritted his teeth and flew forward while the three turned around started to fight. Being the second in command, Eld led the group of three. He flew drew his blades and aimed at the eyes. Annie reacted and tried to grab him. Eld quickly dodged and was followed up by Petra and Oulo blinding the Titan. Annie put her arm against her nape and put herself against a tree. Eld knew this was the time to strike so he commanded the other two to take out the arm muscles. They knew they didn't have much time until the eyes regenerated so they got into action quickly.

Slicing the arm muscles took a few round. Slice after slice, they tried to get the arm away from the nape. After at least 15 strikes to the arm, it fell. It was their time, with the arm out of the way, Eld flew in for the neck. Getting closer, he tunnel visioned on the neck. In a split second he was there. The female Titan suddenly bit down onto him, splitting him in half and killing him instantly. Petra shouted his name while terrified. She quickly flew away. Oulo shouted to reform and regroup. However, it was too late, she had been crushed into a tree by Annie's Titan foot. Oulo found an opening and flew towards her neck. As he sliced it, he blades cut in half. The Titan has grown hard armour to effects the blades. He couldn't react before he was side kicked into the side of a tree.

After Annie landed, Eren was in a state of pure anger and suddenly had an inner monologue about him being weak and what not. He turned around and flew towards the female Titan in anger and rage. Seeing the dead squad mates he shouted in anger "I.. I WILL KILL IT"
