"Y/N you better put your ass back here..." Levi muttered as Y/N stood up from beside him.

"I have to fight as well, Levi..." Y/N argued jumping off the wagon the looking at him. "I've already healed and slept enough... I'm more worried about you..."

"You don't need to worry about me im more and definitely worried about you..." Levi defended with a straight face as Y/N gave a helpless sigh.

"You don't need to worry about worrying me cause I'll definitely worry about you..." Y/N gave him a confident smirk flexing her so-called muscles. "Plus... I'll be the knight in shining armor this time."

Levi's eyebrows furrow wrinkling the bandage wrapped around him as he then took Y/N's hand and kissed it. Y/N could never get enough of his touchy antics as a rosy blush crept on her cheeks with a smile.

"Promise to bring yourself back in one piece, love... Cause I could never bring myself to see you die again." Levi whispered.

Ever since Y/N had awoken, Levi had become more touchy usually. Even with many people around watching, he still didn't mind hugging himself right up to his lover. Levi was scared to see Y/N dead. He didn't care about his life as long as he sees her in his arms.

Y/N was and always will be his sunshine. It may sound like a very corny thing to think about but Levi didn't care.

Though Y/N wasn't complaining at all. Moreover, she was enjoying this as much as Levi was. Even in this cruel world, this kind of happiness still exists.

"Y/N, it's time for your gear," Armin called out holding an older version of the ODM gear catching both her's and Levi's attention.

"It's time I fight..." Y/N took her hand away from Levi and placed it on his cheeks caressing his bandaged face. "I won't be long, love... Sleep and rest well. If you don't rest I'll kill you instead. "

"Hmm..." Levi hummed going back to sleep in the wagon as Y/N walked away giving a last glance at his peaceful face.

'Well... Ain't I shit...' Y/N snickered at her idiotic self putting a palm on her face as she walked away from the wagon. 'I couldn't tell him...'

"so... You want me to impregnate you is that it??"

"well... Erm- about that." Y/N stuttered as her mind jumbled to a frenzy like an extreme party was being thrown inside her mind. "I... Um... Chocolate?"

Levi looked at Y/N with wide eyes but then shifted to a chuckle.

"H-huh???"

"Nevermind, love... I do hope I did impregnate you." Levi muttered going back to his wagon bed.

"HUHHH?!!!!!!!"

Y/N slapped her face. 'I'm such a fucking idiot oh my god... Is this because I spent a lot with dead people lately???'

"What's the problem, Y/N???" Armin asked helping Y/N adjust the straps of her gear to the right size.

"Erm nothing, Armin..." Y/N smiled as Armin finished helping her.

"We have to kill them all at once. That's our only way to secure the flying boat. Well, all use the power of all our Titans alongside your weapons to do that." Annie explained. "Okay?"

Y/N had mixed feelings about her friendship with Annie. Annie was the few people who were the closest to her in the training corps... But Annie was the same person who killed Levi's squad who were also good people.

The same goes for Gabi... Gabi was a good child but... She killed Sasha, her best friend...

For Falco and Reiner... Well...

Falco was the same soft sweetheart as always. She couldn't even help but adopt him already but for Reiner... Well, his still old simpy Reiner...

Everyone stood silent but Connie spoke up. "Hold on a second."

"Why?" Annie asked.

"If we indiscriminately attack the harbor the Azumabitos will get caught in this crossfire and kaboom goes the alliance..." Mikasa spoke up starting straight at Annie.

"She's right!" Connie agreed.

"They might be distant relatives to you, but to us, they're enemies who attack our homeland," Annie answered coldly like before.

"Heh... You've never changed at all, Annie" Y/N snickered.

"No. It'll be a problem if we let the Azumabito die, Annie." Peick spoke up half of her body outside her titan as she then looked at Onyakopon and Yelena's way. "Isn't that right?"

"Indeed. I should be able to pilot the flying boat on my own. But without the Azumabito mechanics, that thing is just a plain boat with no wings." Onyakopon explained. "Its wings are currently folded to make it easier to transport by sea. And of course, just extending the wings won't be enough to make it fly.

It was originally meant to be transported to the hangar, receive maintenance inspection and perform flight drills before it's used for operation."

"About how long would that take?" Reiner asked.

"I don't know." Onyakopon frowned. "Ask the Azumabito."

Mikasa looked at her bandaged wrist with a long look.

"I see. So we need to protect the Azumabito and secure them enough time to get the flying boat ready. On top of that, you're also going to tell me that you don't want to kill any of the Yeagerist trying to stop us?" Annie stated.

Jean, Mikasa, Armin, and Connie had a long face as Y/N snickered.

"I see you haven't grown any sympathy at all despite of years passing, Annie," Y/N said.

"Some of them are our friends from the training corps, you know?" Jean added.

"Then what's the plan? Tell me. How exactly are we going to keep the flying boat and the Azumabito safe while securing them enough time to get the ship ready all without killing the enemies charging at us?" Annie continued to bombard as such. "Tell me, Armin. Tell me your plan. Just like you did when you cornered me."

Armin remained silent looking down at the ground as Annie continued to stare at him.

"Well isn't that just shitt-"

"That plan doesn't exist," Pieck spoke up cutting off Y/N's cursing. "Either sd settle this in one go or we mess up and lose the flying boat."

"Hold up... We're here to save people! And yet, the first thing in our plan is to kill our fellow islanders?!!" Connie exclaimed. "Why is this happening?!"

"You're right," Annie spoke up with closed eyes the opened them with a sigh.

"I'm tired already just by standing," Y/N grunted sitting beside Yelena with a groan. Sudden fatigue came through her but she had to fight it with a sigh.

"You don't look okay..." Yelena admitted.

"I always looked okay," Y/N answered with a forced chuckle as she then closed her eyes taking as much half rest as she can.

'Being fucking pregnant isn't a joke at all...'

"To begin with, none of you have any obligation to do this with us. Nor any obligation to make a hard choice like this." Annie said. "If you'd been in our place that day, you probably wouldn't have chosen to breach the wall. Unlike us."

"Annie's saying a lot today... I bet she prepared that speech while being stuck in that crystalline of hers." Y/N whispered but then chuckled.

"The four of you don't have to fight." Reiner walked up. "Just watch from a safe location together with Gabi and Falco. If the Yeagerist finds you, you'll be forced to decide whether you want it or not... But don't get involved. "

"What are you???? Our leader?" Y/N stood up placing both of her hands on her hips with sass. "We aren't babysitters, you ugly piece looking shit."

"So you're telling us to just watch you kill each other?" Connie asked.

"That said, can this be solved with a Titan rampage?" Jean asked as well.

"Stop trying to be an older brother, Weiner... It reminds me of my own piece of monkey shit who almost killed me." Y/N tsked placing a palm on her forehead in annoyance.

"I'm not interested in becoming a spectator. I already killed four Yeagerist with my own hand, anyway." Hange along with Magath slide down the steep ground. "More importantly, humanity does not have much time left.

I saw Titans moving from the shore, giving off a massive amount of steam. Judging by their speed, they've already arrived on the continent of Marley. The closest Marley's cities in the northeast must have been annihilated by now."

Everyone's eyes stood wide from what Hange had explained.

"I didn't expect they'd cross the ocean this fast. Who knows many have been killed already."

Commander Magath began to walk pushing Onyakopon out of the way and stopping right in front of a sitting Yelena.

Without any warning, Magath placed his palm on Yelena's mouth forcibly pushing her to the steep ground. Yelena of course tried to struggle but Magath had placed his foot on her arm.

"Tell us where Eren Yeager is heading!"

Magath forced his feet harder onto Yelena's arm as he took her hand pulling it. Yelena trained as struggled in pain as everyone continued to stand, watch and do nothing.

"I'll keep breaking your arm until you tell me!!" Magath explained forcing his feet harder than before as Yelena muffled a scream with tears forming in her eyes.

"Magath!!" Hange exclaimed as Marley's Commander stopped and glared letting Yelena go.

"There's nothing to fear. I won't kill you."

"Well, that's a relief." Yelena collected her breath giving a forced smile and looking down at the ground. "I've changed my mind. I don't want to die until I've seen how all of this ends."

Yelena's tears began pouring down her cheeks. "If you take me with you, I might tell you Eren's destination."

"I've never known you were hungry for entertainment, Yelena. Wasn't seeing my brother turning into a massive skeleton caterpillar enough for you?" Y/N glared as Hange placed a hand on her shoulder.

"We must secure the flying boat first," Hange said.

"We don't have the time to torture her now!" Onyakopon worried.

"There's always time for torture Onyakopon~" Y/N's eyes began to emit blood lust.

Suddenly Commander Magath gave a heavy sighed and walked. "Connie. Armin. Mikasa. Y/N. Jean. I want to apologize for my behavior last night. We were wrong. I spoke so flippantly about justice. Even at this last stage, I cowardly tried to justify my own actions,

All because I was afraid to reflect on myself and see the despicable side of Marley within me. This isn't your responsibility."

All five Survey corps members except for Y/N of course looked wide-eyed.

'That's right, bitch... Apologize.' Y/N mentally rolled her eyes.

"It's wrong to place the sins of the past on your shoulder just because of your race." Magath then faced the Marleyan side. "Peick. Annie. Reiner. There's no reason for you to be burdened with this world's hatred either. But..."

The Commander looked at his hands with a guilt-tripped face. "We do have the responsibility to remember this foolish blood-stained history and pass it to future generations."

Magath readjusted his posture facing back to the Survey Corps side. "Eren Yeager wants to erase everything. We must not let him. So long we continue to avert our eyes from our own foolish acts... This hell will never end."

Everyone's eyes widened with mouthy gape wide in shock not expecting the Commander of Marley to fully bow so unexpectedly at the Survey Corps.

"That's why... I beg you. Please overlook our foolishness just for now..."

A huge silence covered the area as Commander Magath stayed bowing.

"I refuse," Armin answered as Magath continued with no reaction. "To just stand by with clean hands."

As Commander Magath readjusted back to his posture, a dumbfounded face came up to him.

"Floch!! Where are you?!!! Where are the Azumabitos??!" Armin exclaimed in front of the well-built-looking building with Connie beside him as Floch opened a window with a gun in his hand.

"Armin?! "

"Floch!" Armin moved his horse more closely in Floch's direction.

"Where have you been? What are you on about?" Floch asked exclaiming.

"I was chasing the Cart Titan! They have the Armoured Titan with them!!" Armin exclaimed with a horrified face as he then pointed at the sea. "They escaped by the sea! We will lose them if we don't chase now! We need the flying boat immediately!! Hurry up and have the Azumabito get it running!!"

Tons of Yeagerist with titan spears were positioned right above the building.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't think this plan would work at all" Y/N muttered giving a helpless chuckle.

"Nice... Now you've jinxed it." Annie grunted.

"Floch isn't at any point smart but he still has the last of his 2 brain cells working." Y/N sighed heavily. "Plus I have a feeling they won't partially believe those two at all."

"And what are you standing around for?!!" Armin was sweating at this point keeping up the horrified expression. "Didn't you have anyone looking after the Cart?!! Wasn't it obvious they'd escaped to the South??! They killed Jean and Onyakopon you know!"

"Armin! There's the flying boat!!" Connie exclaimed pointing.

"Floch!! Hurry up and get the Azumabito mechanics out here!"

Connie and Armin galloped their horses to the dock as Floch remained frozen at the window. The two were stopped by two Yeagerist guarding the flying boat.

"Daz! Samuel! What are you guys doing?!" Connie exclaimed as then they noticed multiple lines of explosives were tied on the covered flying boat. "Are those bombs?!"

"Disconnect them right now!"

"We're using that ship to chase after the remaining Marleyans escaped by the sea!" Connie exclaimed harder.

"Hold up!" Samuel replied.

"Both of you calm down!" Daz said confused about the utter situation. "Actually, there is suspicion that you two are working with Marley and trying to stop the Rumbling using this flying boat."

Samuel scratched the back of his neck as both Armin and Connie's faces turned to sincere horrid.

"H-how could we ever do something like that?!" Connie tried to save it as he exclaimed.

"That's right!" Armin added who looked more panicked than Connie. "What'd become of this island if we stopped Eren?!"

"Y-yeah you're right." Samuel stuttered.

"We're finally saved now..." Daz agreed though looked a bit wrong. "...so there's no way you guys would put this island back into danger, right?"

Connie plastered a force and fake wide smile. "Of course not!"

"That's a relief. I wouldn't know what to do if you two betrayed us." Daz matched the same tone as Connie's with his face looking tense as ever.

"Anyway, just hurry up. Disconnect those bombs." Armin said though his eyes can emit panic.

Daz and Samuel glanced at each other for a second both having forced and tensed faces till Samuel moved towards the fuse box beside

"But I also got the feeling... That you might try to stop Eren from slaughtering anyone, even if they're enemies." Samuel said.

In just a few seconds, Samuel had disconnected the wire and both he and Daz noticed both Connie's and Armin's terrified looks. "We disconnected the detonator."

"What a drag..." Y/N groaned messaging her temples hoping the stupid headache she was experiencing was gone.

"Are you sure you're okay, Y/N?" Mikasa softly asked. "You've been experiencing headaches and fatigue lately... You can head back and rest with Captain Levi"

"Heh, I don't need to... " Y/N said with a smile. "I don't go down without a fight."

Those words hit Mikasa. Fight. Of course, it remembered her of him. Y/N could see it through Mikasa's sudden saddened face.

'the scarf?-' Y/N's eyes widen seeing that the red scarf that Mikasa always wore was gone. 'How the fuck haven't I noticed it?'

Out of nowhere, three gunshots were heard setting both Y/N and Mikasa on guard but also startled.

The two immediately acted as Mikasa kicked through the window full of Yeagerist with guns and kicked a guy.

Another one was supposed to shoot but Y/N immediately punched his face taking the gun just in case.

"Ms. Kiyomi!" Mikasa exclaimed alerting Floch to shoot the hook to the wall and zip right through the window breaking it.

"We're under attack!!" Floch shouted zipping out of the window. "Mikasa, Armin, and Connie have betrayed Eldia! Kill them!! "

"Shut the fuck up, you disgusting motherfucker!!" Y/N exclaimed back helping an Azumabito engineer up while Yeagerist began to surround the building.

"They'll shoot thunder spears through the windows!" Mikasa warned whilst helping Kiyomi.

"To the basement everyone!!" Y/N screamed as everyone evacuated down the floor as quickly as they can.

Then the thunder spears were thrown setting the second floor along the wooden stairs on fire cornering Y/N and Mikasa in the corner.

"Well, Mikasa... They chose violence then... we should as well." Y/N muttered taking out her blades. "It's been a while since I've played with these old bad boys..."

"Lady Mikasa!" Kiyomi shouted as Yeagerist pointed their guns at her.

"Wow, Miss Kiyomi. You dare forget my name." Y/N tsked as both she and Mikasa moved though they were not knocked out by them but by Magath's and Hange's bullets.

"Azumabito! This way!" Commander Magath exclaimed with Jean behind. "We'll repel them in the basement! Come with us if you want to live!"

All eyes were all on Kiyomi who looked down. Though everyone moved and went to the basement to go pass out in another exit.

Though upon almost going to the exit, it was blocked by a thunder spear explosion.

"At this rate, we'd be trapped here to death! It's only a matter of time before they kill us!!" Kiyomi screamed.

"at least we'd die pissing off Floch..." Y/N chuckled.
