First Mission

Eren's POV

It's been 2 months of training and my accuracy improved greatly. Tomorrow we set out at 6 pm into one of the busiest cities in the United States, Manhattan.

"Damn I'm so scared" I said to Annie.

Over these past two months we've been getting closer, even outside of training.

"You're a titan shifter, you'll be fine." said Annie.

I looked down at my hands which were uncontrollably shacking. I grasped my hands together in order to calm down. However I felt something warm touch my hands, I look down and see Annie holding onto my hands. I felt my cheeks turn red one because my crush is holding my hands and two I've never seen Annie like this.

"I'll protect your suicidal ass." said Annie while leaning against my shoulder.

I then heard coughing behind us and I jumped turning around to see Kit behind us.

"Ummm are you guys a thing?" asked Kit.

"Wha-what uhh no. We're not hehehe." laughed Eren.

"It's okay if you guys are dating and shit it's totally fine." said Kit walking off. "Makes you try harder to protect one another."

After Kit left we decided to head to our rooms to sleep. Before I went into my room Annie grabbed my wrist.

"Eren promise me something though." said Annie. "Just stay alive don't do anything stupid. Because if you do, I'll kill you myself."

"I promise."

Annie left to go to her room. I jumped onto my bed and looked at my key that my dad gave me.

"I promise."

The Next Day

We were all standing in 2 lines waiting to get into an osprey.

"Remember we are going to parachute into enemy territory. Hacker will disturb their satellites for a few minutes or else they will find out. So we need to land fast. Everyone knows where to land right?"

"Yes sir."

"Erwin take your scout regiment in the first osprey, we'll meet you at the rally point." said Ghost.

Erwin nodded and headed towards an osprey prepped and ready to leave.

"All of you will be on me is that understood?" asked Ghost.

"Yes sir." we all replied.

"Sasha you're with me." said Marksman.

"Yes sir." she relied.

We got on board the osprey and it took off. The ride to Manhattan would take 9 hours so most of us slept throughout the entire ride.

9 hours later

"Get ready to jump!" yelled Ghost.

"If you follow as you were trained then you'll be fine." yelled Kit.

We all had goggles on so that the wind doesn't prevent us from being able to open our eyes. The deck opened and we waited for green light. I turned around and saw a few worried faces but most of us were determined to do this.

The green light turned on. "GO GO GO GO!" yelled Ghost.

We all jumped into the air and went straight through the clouds. The wind breezed against my face and I could see the city. The city was such a spectacular view from up here, but Ghost told us it was mostly destroyed during the war. I aimed for the tip of Manhattan which they called the World Trade Center.

"Pull pull pull." said Ghost through my headset.

I quickly pulled and my falling quickly slowed down. I maneuvered toward World trade Center. I started to get close and landed. I quickly took off my parachute and checked my surroundings.

Right now it was night time so I had this device called night vision goggle on my helmet. This is also a stealth mission so I had a silencer on my gun and sidearm. My primary gun was a Scar-H with holographic sight and a vertical foregrip.

The rest landed perfectly near and got into position.

"Scouts report." said Ghost through the headset.

"Scouts are ready and standing by." said Erwin.

"Okay remember the plan, don't get caught and try not to take anybody down." said Ghost/.

"Yes sir." replied Erwin.

"Alright Sasha go with Marksman up onto freedom tower. Everyone make sure you have your secondary parachute on."

"Hacker, Kit, Eren, Annie, Armin, Connie, Marlowe and Hitch your with me," said Ghost.

"The rest of you follow me." said Juggernaut.

We all split up into our groups and loaded our guns. We all made sure our guns had suppressors on them.

"Night vision goggles on." said Hacker.

I put on my pulled down my goggles and everything turned green and I could now see my surroundings.

We moved deeper into World Trade Center moving fast and checking our surroundings.

"Remember don't keep your fingers on the triggers." said Juggernaut.

"Patrol up ahead." said Marksman.

I saw a couple of soldier at least 10 of them coming towards us. They had flashlights on their guns.

"Hide." said Ghost.

I quickly hid under a truck and stayed still. Others scattered into buildings or into cars.

The patrol began to slowly pass us, talking and laughing about something. We were almost in the clear till one of them stopped right next to me.

"Don't move." whispered Ghost.

I closed my eyes scared that he might bend down and look under the truck. But he just went on and continued laughing with his comrades.

I sighed in relief as I came out from under the truck.

"Captain I'm seeing a lot of movement up ahead, I think that's our objective." said Marksman.

"He's right sir, there's a massive thermal reading from Russian satellites just three blocks from here." said Hacker while looking into his computer.

We swiftly moved towards the activity and then moved into a building. We went upstairs in order to get a better view.

"Erwin bring your squad to our position and stay hidden in a building in the east." said Ghost.

"Understood moving now."

"Juggernaut move your team West and stay hidden in a building." continued Ghost.

"Roger that we're on our way."

"So far so good." said Connie.

"Are you sure this mission was supposed to be suicidal?" asked Armin.

"That's what we were told, it's too quiet right now. Even this activity seems strange." said Hacker while looking down towards the street.

I looked down and noticed a bunch of soldiers running around but one soldier caught my eye. it was a female soldier, she had what looked like metal armor and two swords on her back. I couldn't see her face from this far.

"Captain look." said Kit pointing somewhere.

I looked and saw a line of soldiers on their knees waiting for something. But they didn't have their gun nor any gear.

"Give me your binoculars." said Ghost.

Kit handed it to him and he looked into it and growled.

"Their American soldiers." said Ghost

"Prisoners." said Hacker.

I noticed a Russian soldier picking up one guy and throwing him onto the ground in the middle of the street. Another person came up, but this time he looked like a doctor. He had something in his hands and injected it into the prisoner. He quickly backed up and the soldiers on the street aimed their guns at him.

After a few seconds of waiting a lightning bolt hit the ground transforming the prisoner into a titan.

"What the fuck?" whispered Kit.

"That's what we did to Eldian prisoners back in Marley. Go to Paradis Island and inject the prisoners with the serum." said Annie.

"Wait, look." said Armin.

I looked and what happened shocked me. The scientist began talking to it and the titan nodded as if we understood it. The titan turned and walked up to a prisoner who was crying in fear.

"Shit we need to help them." I said.

"No there's nothing we could do." said Ghost.

"What are you serious? He doesn't have to die." I said.

"Do you want to compromise the mission? If you do it'll probably kill us all." said Ghost.

"He's right, it might end up being a lot worse than we think it would." said Marlowe.

I groaned in anger and watched as the titan picked up the prisoner who was crying out for help. I closed my eye not wanting to see it. But then I heard an explosion and shooting began to fire.

I noticed Erwin's squad moving onto the street and picking up the prisoners and running back east.

"What the hell, what is he doing?!" said Kit.

"Shit, Hacker contact the headquarters and tell them we've been compromised and need immediate extraction at drop point. Also request fire mission on that street." said Ghost.

"We need to move now." said Kit.

We rushed down the stairs and onto the streets.

"Enemies are heading your war Captain." said Marksman.

"Cover us." said Ghost.

I turned around and saw some soldiers running after us but then, one by one they began to fall dead.

"Erwin come in." said Ghost.

"We hear you." replied Erwin.

"What the hell were you thinking?" asked Ghost.

"I saved those prisoners." said Erwin.

"Are you crazy?! Now the entire battalion knows we are here!" yelled Hacker.

"RPG!" yelled Kit.

A missal passed right above and exploded in front of us.

"Shit we got technicals!" cried Hacker shooting his gun.

I saw three vehicles pull up, each with a gun on it.

"Get down!"

I quickly hid behind a car with Annie. I tuned and started shooting the gun at the man on the car. I hit him and quickly hid back behind the car.

"Juggernaut where are you right now?" yelled Ghost.

"We are moving towards your position! ETA 2 minutes!" replied Juggernaut.

"Captain air support is arriving in 20 minutes!" yelled Hacker.

"Understood! Everyone open fire!" yelled Ghost.

We all began shooting our weapons at the Russians, a few went down but more reinforcements came.

"Man down! Armin's hit!" yelled Marlowe.

I turned towards Armin who was clutching his shoulder, blood oozing out of his arm. I desperately wanted to help him, but I saw Kit treating so I knew he would be okay.

Annie was busy shooting at the Russians, she had pretty good accuracy, hitting most fo her shots.

"Damn she's good at everything." thought Eren.

I turned to continue shooting but then a missile came from the west and exploded a car. All the Russian soldiers turned to their right and were immediately gun down.

"Check your targets." said Juggernaut as he and his squad came around the corner.

"You guys okay?" asked Kit.

"Yea we're all fine." replied Bomber.

"Where's Erwin's squad?" asked Juggernaut.

"Yea, he's the one that got us into this mess." said Hacker.

"Kit contact him and tell him to rendezvous at the drop point, that's where our extraction will be." said Ghost.

"Yes sir." said Kit.

"Marksman, get out of there and rally up on me." said Ghost.

"Moving."

"Alright lets move." said Ghost.

We all began to run back to the drop point and rallied up with Marksman and Sasha.

"Where's Erwin's squad?" asked Marksman.

"They should be here." said Kit.

We then heard distant gunshots and explosions.

"This is Erwin we need immediate support, we have prisoners with us and need assistance." cried Erwin through the radio.

"Sir extraction is in two minutes and they are coming with 3 chinooks, what should we do." asked Kit.

Ghost seemed to think about it for a moment.

"Javelin, Marksman and Kit follow me, we're going to help them. The rest of you set a perimeter and defend this place."

Ghost left with the others, running into chaos.

"Bomber, set mines and any C-4s you got. Everyone find cover and get ready to fight." said Juggernaut.

Bomber quickly went around us setting mines and C-4s to assist them. I hid behind a car and got ready.

We waited but it seems as if the enemy wasn't interested in us.

"The extraction is here!" yelled Hacker.

There were 3 chinooks approaching our position. They each landed and 4 soldiers came out of each of them protecting us from enemy fire.

"Captain the extraction is here where are you!?" asked Juggernaut.

"We are making our way back right now!" said Ghost.

"Jaeger! Get everyone into a chinook now!" yelled Juggernaut.

The 104th members began to enter the chinook including the 4 soldiers.

"Juggernaut protect our sixth, we are coming in hot!" yelled Ghost.

I looked out and saw the Captain and his squad running with Erwin's squad being chased by Russians.

"Light em up!" yelled Juggernaut.

Ghost team began shooting the Russians protecting their mates.

"Erwin get you squad into a chinook!" yelled Ghost.

Erwin got into a chinook with the other 4 soldiers.

"RPG!" yelled a random soldier.

A missile went flying towards an empty chinook and exploded. The impact killed the 4 soldiers that protected that chinook.

"Go leave us!" yelled Ghost.

"What?! W're not leaving you guys behind!" I yelled.

"You stay we all die so GO!" yelled Ghost.

The 2 chinooks began to leave the extraction point.

"Air support in 30 seconds!" yelled Hacker through the radio.

I saw 4 jet fighters and 5 bombers heading towards the extraction point. The bombers dropped the bombs and there were a bunch of explosions. I looked at saw the extraction point blow up and I did not see Ghost team.

"Captain come in!" I yelled through the microphone.

"Cough cough cough. We're fine just get to Brooklyn and drop off there. We need to rally up." said Ghost.

"Understood."
