A/N: Hey, it's been a while...sorry about that. It's a little hard for me to write anything right now and I don't know why. Hopefully I can get another chapter out soon, so to those of you who have bared with me all this time, thank you. I hope you enjoy.

Wiping the blood off of your face, you were walking back to the rest of the scouts who were gathering around one spot with shocked and confused faces. When you walked pass a few of the scouts to join your friends, you looked over their heads to see what had them so stunned, and once you set your eyes on what it was, the same look came down on your face. Laying among the rubble, was your comrade from the 104th, Ymir with Christa by her side. Ymir's body was a complete mess with one arm and leg missing, her guts almost falling out of her stomach, but what shocked you the most was when steam was pouring out of the open wounds she had, and the markings on her face matched the same kind of markings Eren would get whenever he exited his Titan. You couldn't believe it, but Ymir was also a Titan Shifter like Eren.

"You can't be serious..." You muttered in utter shock of finding out another comrade of yours was a Titan shifter. 

"My real name..." You turned your gaze to Christa who was knelt near Ymir's side as the wounded Titan girl stared at her friend. "...is Historia." Christa said as she had given up her falsified name to reclaim the name she was given at birth.

"This is ridiculous..." You said as you stormed off away from your friends as they stared at you in confusion of your outburst.

"Y/N? Where are you going?" Mikasa asked as she she chased after you.

"I can't stand to watch anymore. I need a breather." You said while walking away from her as she ran and caught you by the wrist. "Let me go." You said to her.

"Calm down--!" Mikasa was cut off by the angriest look she had seen appear on your face.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!" You yelled at her as she flinched from your sudden rage. "W-What the hell am I supposed to do, huh?! I'm finding out the people I trained with for years to become soldiers are fucking TITANS!" You said while angrily throwing your hands and gesturing to Ymir. "First Annie...now Ymir? I'll admit we weren't always on the same picture of things, but it's not like I didn't care about what would happen to her! Now we find out she's a fucking Titan and that she's been hidden among our ranks for the past how many fucking years! Who knows what she could have done had she decided to use that power against us! I don't know anything about my friends anymore! Gnh...AAAHH!" You said as you slipped on the rubble and fell on your rear end.

"Y/N!" Mikasa rushed over to make sure you were okay, but stopped when she saw you with tears welling in your eyes and your hands balled into fists.

"What am I supposed to do?" You asked in a frustrated tone as Mikasa pulled you into a hug and you wrapped your arms around her tightly. "...I don't know who to trust..." You said in a strained and low voice.

"You can always trust us..." Mikasa said as she pulled away from the hug to look you eye to eye. "We're family. Whatever we come across, we can get through it together." She said as your breathing finally calmed down.

"...Yeah. You're right." You said as you wiped the tears from your eyes as Mikasa grabbed your hand firmly before pulling you back to your feet as everyone began to move out back on their horses. "Thanks, Mikasa." You said to her as the two of you blew your whistle calls for your horses and stood their waiting as you saw them gallop towards you in the distance. "You don't have anything to hide from me, right?" You said as she looked at you in confusion. 

"We grew up together. No one knows me better than you, Eren, or Armin." Mikasa confirmed that you knew everything about her.

"Yeah, that's right. I can at least rest easy knowing you're not some princess from a long lost land or something." You chuckled to try and liven yourself as Mikasa smiled a little at seeing you come back to your senses.

After gathering your bearings and loading back onto your horses, you and the rest of the Scouts rode back to the wall as you had accomplished the mission of recovering Christa, a.k.a. Historia, along with the rest of your comrades. After getting back to the wall, you and your comrades were hoisting each other up to the top of the wall, getting the lifts for the horses done first and back on the other side of Wall Rose. After all the horses were taken care of, all that was left was getting everyone else back up who didn't have their gear, were injured, or any of the deceased you were able to recover. Whilst walking along the wall to see if anyone needed any help, rain began to lightly pour from the cloudy sky above and you stopped in your tracks to watch as they lifted Ymir up by a lift attached to her stretcher as steam healed her wounds. After getting a proper look at her, some of your feelings had returned and you began to feel sorry and worry for Ymir with the state she was currently in. Whilst standing there watching in silence as Ymir was raised to the top of the wall, you heard someone talk next to you.

"Reiner! Grab on!" You turned to see Eren knelt down and extending his hand out to Reiner who was struggling to climb the last bit of wall with his one good arm.

"Right!" Reiner said with a grateful smile as she firmly grabbed onto Eren's hand and you watched with piercing eyes as Eren pulled him up.

"Reiner..." You thought in a silent anger and wanted to confront him about a few things, but another voice suddenly caught your attention. 

"Please, believe me!" You heard and turned around to see Historia talking with Hange and your sister. "I'm telling the truth! Ymir transformed into a Titan to fight off the other Titans and save us! She did so with no regard for her own life, which proves her loyalty to us, her comrades! It's true that her judgement until now is unforgivable. After all, she may know things useful to humanity and yet she kept quiet about it! I imagine she didn't say anything in order to protect herself. But...now she's a changed person! Ymir is an ally of humanity! I know Ymir better than anyone. She's a much simpler person than she looks!" Historia said with absolute confidence burning in her eyes as Sarah and Hange both took a moment to process this.

"Section Commander...?" Sarah looked to Hange for any kind of suggestion to the approach of Ymir's standing.

"I see...Obviously, I hope we can build a trusting relationship with her. Her judgement aside, the information she holds is a treasure for humanity. I hope we get along." Hange said as the three of them stared at Ymir who was laid down on the wall.

"I doubt that." The three girls turned to see you walking towards them. "I may not have hung out with Ymir as much as Chri--Ahem! Historia..." You corrected yourself while mouthing 'sorry' to your blonde friend before continuing. "...Ymir is pretty stubborn and likes to get on people's nerves. I'll say that what she says doesn't reflect what she does, but it's not like she was a bad person either." You said with some support to her as Historia let out a small smile seeing you convey some words of leverage for Ymir.

"What brings you here?" Sarah asked as you firmly planted your hand on top of Historia's head.

"Well, with Ymir being out of action for a while, someone has to stay by our precious comrade's side. That's the mission, right?" You said as Historia looked at you in confusion, and Hange nodded in agreement.

"Alright. It's probably better to have someone she knows be by her side." Hange agreed as you gave her a thankful nod. "But you know..." Hange began to walk as the four of you followed after her. "...even if she is a simple person, this world becomes more of a confusing mess with every passing day." Hange trailed off as silence fell between the group before she glanced back at Historia. "You said...your real name was Historia Reiss?" Hange asked.

"Yes, that's right." Historia confirmed her real identity.

"Reiss, as in that noble family?" Hange asked as Historia stopped in her tracks with a dejected look on her face.

"Yes." Historia said with a lower sad tone as you looked at her with worry.

"I see." Hange said with a hint of sadness in her tone as you looked at your sister for context, but she shrugged her shoulder not knowing much either, but you were brought back to the attention of Hange walking up to Historia and placing a hand on her shoulder with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Historia." Hange said as Historia seemed surprised.

"Yeah..." Was all she finished with as Hange walked on ahead.

"Well, whatever your name, we'll always be comrades and friends." You said while wrapping an arm around Historia as she smiled from your friendly interaction.

"Thank you, Y/N." You said as you three followed after Hange as you all came to check on Ymir's condition.

"How's Ymir?" Hange asked as Historia rushed up and knelt down next to Ymir who was secured to her stretcher. 

"She's still in a coma. Her bleeding has stopped, and we think steam is coming out of her wounds." The medic scout explained the situation Ymir was currently in.

"At least we can safely say she'll live to see another day. That's good." You said with some relief.

"For now, take her back to Trost so she can get some proper medical care. She's in your hands." Hange said as one of her subordinates, Nifa, turned to her.

"Understood." Nifa said in acknowledgement of the orders and Hange turned around.

"Now then...Our original mission... was to seal this wall." Hange said while turning and walking off to regroup with the others to strategize over the plan.

"Historia, I'll be right back. Stay put." You said as she nodded to you and you ran off to follow your sister and Moblit, and Hange.

"Is everyone clear?" Hange asked as you four approached the rest of your comrades and caught their attentions. "We'll deal with Ymir later. And Conny...I'll arrange for a Scout squad to investigate your village later. For the time being, I want you to focus on the mission to fix the wall. Got it?" Hange informed your shave-headed friend with reassurance.

"Got it!" Conny accepted without a second thought as Hange walked to the edge of the wall.

"Still...I expected this place to be swarming with Titans. Hmmm?" Hange was caught off when the sound of horses came from below and she looked down to see three soldiers riding below you all, one of them you recognized.

"Hannes?" Mikasa said as you were all shocked to see the Garrison down below.

"It's the Garrison's advance squad. They came to tell us where the hole is." Hange said as the Garrison stopped below and Hannes scaled the wall while his squad members stayed below with the horses.

"Hannes." You called out to him while reaching your hand down as he stopped using his gas and caught onto your hand as you began to pull him up. "What's going on?" You asked him.

"There's no hole anywhere!" Hannes said as you stopped midway in shock of the news.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" You said in confusion of his report.

"We spent all night looking for it...but at least between Trost  and Krolva District, there's nothing wrong with the wall." Hannes said as you finished pulling up to the top of the wall.

"What'd you say?" Hange said in complete disbelief.

"We bumped into soldiers from Krolva and retraced our steps. We haven't seen any Titans the whole way here." Hannes spoke of his encounter with another Garrison patrol along the wall.

"But...we know for sure there's Titans on this side of the wall." Armin said with confidence in that information and you all knew it too.

"If you didn't see it, then maybe the squad from Krolva missed it. There's no way there isn't a hole." You argued with the faces being laid out in front of you all.

"Did you actually look? Are you sure you're not drunk?" Eren questioned Hannes's patrol.

"I didn't drink! Wait, why are all of you here anyways?" Hannes asked in confusion of the scouts being here at the wall as the wind began to pick up briefly before dying down.

"If there's no hole in the wall, so be it." Hange turned around accepting the facts as your jaw almost fell off your head from hearing her.

"Huh?! You can't be serious! There were dozens of Titans! How can we just abandon the chance of the wall being breached?" You asked as Sarah placed a hand on your shoulder.

"I'm sure the Garrison squads didn't make a mistake in their investigations. With how tense things are right now, everyone's on guard and tracing over every detail. If they didn't see something like hole in the wall, then we're dealing with something else." Sarah said as you had a a conflicted and confused look on your face.

"For now, we're falling back to Trost District!" Hange said as everyone began to move to head back home.

"This is hurting my brain..." You said while rubbing your head as you stayed with your sister, Eren, Armin, Mikasa and Hannes.

"Whatever you do, don't let your guard down. We're going back ahead of you." Hannes said as he was about to leave.

"Hannes." Sarah called as he turned back around to see her with a worrisome face. "Be careful out there. We don't know what's going on anymore." Sarah said as Hannes nodded to her before jumping off and heading down to his squad.

"There's nothing wrong with the wall?" Eren said in complete confusion.

"I'm going back to Historia...Mikasa, can you help me look for some spare blades? I need a few after earlier, running low." You said as you and Mikasa walked off to search some of the boxes before something else popped into your mind. "Ah, Sasha, let's see if we can find any rations while we're at it." You said as Sasha put on a smile at the sound of hearing someone talk about 'food' and you all walked off, leaving Eren.

"Hey, Y/N, when do you think we'll get our next hot meal?" Sasha asked as you were about to answer, but noticed Mikasa stopped walking.

"Mikasa?" You looked at her strangely, only to follow her gaze and see Eren talking with Reiner and Bertolt a little ways away. "Sasha, go check for some rations. I'll join you in a bit." You said as Sasha was confused, but continued ahead without you as you walked up next to Mikasa, watching the three males of interest closely.

Watching closely, you saw Eren standing there in silence as Reiner conversed with him, and Bertolt looked extremely worried and nervous as he seemed to try and stop Reiner from talking. Your nerves were starting to tingle and the hairs on the back of your neck and on your arms began to rise from a strange and tense feeling you were getting from watching them. After a few moments, Eren seemed confused and irritated by something Reiner said and the two began exchanging words with each other as Bertolt looked nervous beyond belief. 

"Mikasa..." You muttered to her as both you and her had intense, unnerved looks on your faces.

"I know..." Mikasa responded to you as the both of you were completely on edge at what you were watching.

Suddenly, Eren placed his hand on Reiner's shoulder and spoke a few words to him with a concerned look. Reiner looked crazy with how wide his eyes were, and it looked like Bertolt was a bit relieved, but still extremely stressed out as he spoke a few words after Eren finished talking. Eren talked a bit more to the two of them as Reiner seemed to be in shock as he slowly covered his face with his one functioning hand. The wind began to pick up as a cold breeze blew through the top of the walls and as it grew stronger, the wind managed to snap off a weather flag that was attached to the wall. The sound was enough to stop everyone in their tracks and silence filled the air after the wind died down and all the scouts turned their sights back towards Eren, Reiner, and Bertolt. One after another, beams of light began to pierce through the clouds above in the sky as you and Mikasa both had shaky hands on the hilts of your blades, waiting to see if anything else would happen. All your senses were heightened from how tense the situation was, and with all the silence in the air, you managed to hear what Reiner began to say.

"I see...That's it." Reiner started as Eren and Bertolt looked at him nervously. "I've been here too long for my own good. It's been three long years...surrounded by nothing but idiots. We were just kids...We didn't know anything. If only I never knew that there were people like this..." Reiner trailed off as you slowly began to draw one of your blades out from your sheathe. "I...wouldn't have become...such a half-assed piece of shit!" Reiner exclaimed with tears welling in his frustrated eyes as you all looked to see him move his injured arm and begin to undo the dressing. "It's too late now...I don't know what's right anymore. But the only choice for me now...is to face the consequences of my actions..." Reiner said while tossing away the dressing and sling he wore as you all grew shocked faces when you saw steam begin to come out from the wound on his arm and his flesh begin to heal. "...and as a warrior...fulfill my duty to the bitter end!" Reiner said as his arm fully healed and Eren was frozen in shock.

"Reiner! Are we doing it?! Now!? Right here!?" Bertolt asked with a crazed and nervous look on his face.

"Yeah. We settle this...right here, RIGHT NOW!" Reiner yelled as he began to march towards Eren.

Appearing from behind the frozen Eren, Reiner grew shocked and terrified when he saw Mikasa jump around Eren and as he began to raise his arms to defend himself, Mikasa spun around and cut through his right arm with her blade, before it got stuck in his left hand. Bertolt was about to react to what happened, but gasped in shock when you appeared in front of him at unimaginable speeds and stabbed him through the stomach with one blade, before plunging your other blade through the side of his neck. Blood splattered through the air and on your face as you pushed Bertolt to the ground and twisted your blades inside of him, making him groan and gargle blood in pain.

"EREN! RUN AWAY--GAHHH!" You yelled as you were about to rip Bertolt's head off, but got shoved off the wall by Reiner who used Mikasa as a shield.

"Y/N!" Mikasa caught you as she anchored both of you to the wall and you looked up to see sparks begin forming.

"BERTOLT!" Reiner yelled out to Bertolt as he stood in front of him while all the scouts rushed towards you all.

"NO! EREN!!!" Mikasa screamed as she tried to get to Eren, but you stopped her knowing it was too late as the lights grew brighter and brighter.

"EREN! GET OUT OF THERE!!!!!!!" Armin cried out as everyone converged on Reiner and Bertolt, but there wasn't enough time to stop what was coming.

In a blinding flash of light, two strikes of lightning combined in the sky and struck down right on top of Reiner and Bertolt as everyone was blown away by the powerful blast. You yelled while holding onto Mikasa and trying not to get sent flying by the burning hot wind that was blowing through the whole area. The sound of the wall's stone being destroyed filled your ears as you slightly opened your eyes to see ribs pierce into the wall and looking up with shock of what was before you, there stood the Armored and Colossal Titan responsible for destroying the walls and most of all, killing your father.

"BERTOLT! REINER! YOU BASTARDS!!!! Ngh....GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" You screamed in fury as your anchors came loose from the wind, blowing you and Mikasa off the wall.

Losing his grip from the wall, Eren was sent flying away from the stone structure, but a hand reached out and caught him as Reiner looked down at him through his Titan eyes. The scouts above the wall held on for their lives as the hot steam coming from Bertolt's Colossal Titan made it too difficult to move. Reaching out his giant hand, the steam blew away Ymir's stretcher as Christa watched in shock as Bertolt caught the comatose girl and lifted her away. Leaping off the edge of the wall, Reiner began to slide down the wall with your friend as all the scouts watched in shock as Reiner began his escape. Tears flew from Eren's eyes as the memory of him, Reiner, Bertolt, and Armin

"I'm going to return to the hometown we lost. That's all I care about now." The words Reiner said that night of the first day of training echoed in his mind as more memories of Reiner and Bertolt filled his mind. 

"Bertolt...Reiner..." Eren thought in despair as he remembered the kind smiles they shared with everyone, before he finally snapped as his eyes burned with pure rage and hatred. "YOU...DAMN TRAITORS!!!!!" Eren raised his hand up to his mouth and bit down with all his might as sparks exploded around him, transforming into his Titan form as he freed himself and roared in anger as he threw his fists towards the one person he wanted to kill the most.
