LEVI WALKS UP FROM BEHIND Julian and Erwin on the wall. "Erwin, he's gonna climb up." He informed, referring to the Armored Titan. His hands and feet harden before he sprinted towards the inner gate, digging his foot into the wall.

Erwin turned back to address the Scouts. "All troops! Avoid clashing with the Armored Titan!" He ordered as Reiner started to climb his way up the wall. "Stay away from him!"

"Roger!"

Julian looked back towards the Beast Titan, noticing none of the Titans around him were moving. "From what I remember about Miche's death, the Beast orders the other Titans around him. It's most likely the reason why we didn't encounter any from within the walls." He explained as Erwin side glanced him, but didn't respond as he looked forward again.

"That quadrupled type down there is an Intelligent Titan." Erwin spoke as Julian, Levi, and Armin looked at him with shock. "No, there might even be others."

Julian looked down to see a Titan on all fours with luggage on its back. The Beast Titan raised its fist and smashed it down onto the dirt, letting out a roar.

Not a moment after, the small Abnormals from the rows started to run towards the walls from what Julian could tell the Scouts were caged in, the Titans were surrounding them. Reiner was near the top of the wall, Armin turns to Erwin.

"Commander! The Armored Titan is close! And we still don't know where Bertholdt is!" He informed.

"Yeah, I know." Erwin responded but stayed silent after. Soon, his head shot up.

"Are you finally ready to say something? I could've had breakfast during the wait." Levi stated bluntly.

Erwin then turned around. "Dirk Squad and Marlene Squad! Protect the horses at the gate with Klaus Squad!" He then turned and raised his sword. "Levi Squad, Julian Squad, and Hange Squad! Take down the Armored Titan! Employ the Thunder Spears at your own discretion! Achieve your objectives whatever it takes! This moment! This battle! The survival of humanity depends on it! Once more, for humanity... give your hearts!"

"Yes, sir!"

Julian's squad then began rushing to join Levi and Hange's squads, when Julian grabbed both of Lyon and William's arms.

"Will, I'm giving you the most important job of all. Watch over my brother for me. Make sure that dumbass doesn't get himself killed." Julian ordered.

"Understood, sir." William replied before heading to join Zach and Melody.

Julian turned to Lyon. "I need you to stay close to me." He told his best friend.

"Do you have some sort of plan in mind, sir?"

"I do. But I already know Levi will be against it."

"Wait! Levi, Armin!" Erwin called out, stopping Levi and Armin in their tracks. I did say Levi Squad, but I need you to stay, Levi."

Levi turned around fully. "To protect the horses and not Eren?" He questioned.

"That's right. And to strike him down when the chance comes. Julian, I want you to help Levi." Erwin then turned to Levi. "You're the only one I can entrust to take on the Beast Titan."

"Understood." Levi and Julian replied in unison.

"Since I failed to kill that armored brat earlier, I'll make up for it with the Beast Titan's head." Levi added on.

Julian snorts. "Sorry, Levi. But you're gonna have to wait in line. I have a grudge on that hairy bastard." He informed.

"Huh?"

"Erwin, you know I trust you with my life. But I cannot follow your order." Julian stated as Erwin looked at him. "I'm gonna cut him up into tiny bite size pieces and leave him with a gruesome death just like he did Miche."

Julian jumped off from the wall. "That idiot." Levi mumbled to himself before following him and Lyon followed him.

"Are you crazy?" Levi questioned.

Julian groaned before glancing over to Lyon. "Told you he'd be against it." He said, making the red head sigh as Julian turned back to Levi. "Let me do this, Levi. Then you can have the spotlight if you wish."

"That's not the problem here, Jude!" Levi scolded.

"Recruits! Move the remaining horses west!"

"Protect the recruits with Dirk Squad!"

Levi and Julian charged forward before killing the two Titans that were heading towards the recruits and landing on a rooftop.

"Captain Levi! Section Commander Julian!" Marlo exclaimed. "Now's our chance! Hurry!"

"Clean up the small ones already!" Levi ordered. "Do it before the Beast Titan moves! And no casualties! Don't you dare die!"

"Sir!"

"Shit, this is pathetic. The weak ones die so fast." Levi commented. "Should've kept 'em up there."

Meanwhile, the rest of Julian's squad were dealing with the Armored Titan.

Hange glided through the air. "Go now!" They ordered, causing Reiner to be alert.

Hange and Mikasa used their gear to get closer to Reiner as the two fired their thunder spears towards Reiner, aiming straight for his eyes before finally setting them off.

Jean flew up in the air. Connie and Sasha were right behind him.

Jean fired his thunder spear, followed by Connie and then Sasha along with Moblit, William, Zach, Melody, and the rest of Hange's squad as they aimed for Reiner's nape, they then released the wire, setting them off.

"W-We got 'em!" Jean exclaimed. "It worked! The armor on his nape is peeling off!"

"R-Really?" Connie stammered.

"The spears worked!" Sasha exclaimed.

"Do it again!" Hange ordered, getting the attention of Connie and Sasha. "Attack again with Thunder Spears and finish him off!"

Connie and Sasha had horrified expressions. "Reiner..." Sasha mumbled.

"Springer, Braus, listen to me." William started to say as the two looked at him. "I'm not gonna stand here and say I know how you feel, because I have no clue. I mean, you spent three years training with the guy. But in all honesty, if I was in your position, I'd be pretty pissed off if someone I trusted betrayed my trust."

"He's right! I thought you were ready if it ever came to this!" Jean scolded. "Let's do this!"

Sasha and Connie's faces turned into one of determination. All of them headed towards Reiner again as they fired the thunder spears at him once more.

Then, an explosion occurred.
