Battle

Eren's POV

"Get everyone down to the underground system now!" I yelled

I led all the civilians down the stairs and into the underground district.

"Colonel!" yelled Armin

"Get everyone down there and cut off every entrance there is into the every underground district." said Colonel

"Jean cut off the other entrances!" I yelled

"Armin, Hacker! You two try to get everything back online!" yelled Ghost

"Yes sir!" yelled Armin

"I want every available jet fighter in the air scouting the skies! Now!" yelled Ghost, "Get as much food, water, medications down there!"

"Ghost." called out Phantom

"Not now I'll explain everything later, I promise." he replied

"Colonel is there anything we can do?" I asked

"Eren you're a key factor to all of this, but I need you here with Annie in titan form." said Ghost

"Understood." I replied

I ran to Annie who was helping our kids and Ghost's kids.

"Annie we need to shift!" I yelled

"What about the kids?" asked Annie

"I'll deal with them, you guys go!" yelled Kit

We nodded and ran to an open space and shifted into our titan forms.

Ghost's POV

"Stand clear of the titans!" I yelled

"50% of the civilians have evacuated." said Mikasa

"Mikasa, Jean, get to Echo now and tell him if there is a missile or any projectile headed towards us, they have permission to take it out." I said

"Yes sir." replied Mikasa

After 15 minutes later, every citizen was safe inside and every soldier had a gas mask. Our gas mask upgraded so now the gas mask only covered the mouth.

"These feel so much more comfortable." said Jean

"Ghost is now a good time?" asked Phantom

"Before you start, I just want to apologize." I said

"Don't apologize." whispered Phantom, "Just promise me you won't hurt yourself again."

I nodded in response and Phantom hugged me. I hugged her back and patted her head.

"I regret not loving you earlier." she whispered

"Love doesn't just come if you want it to." I replied

"Colonel!"

I turned around to see a jeep pull up and Marksman hopped off.

"They're here." said Marksman

"Who's here?" asked Phantom

"The TMO, I didn't think they'd actually come face to face with us." I said

"Colonel they brought their entire fleet here." said Marksman, "In other words, we're surrounded."

"They could easily strike us with a missile launch." I said

'If they're trying to fight us head on, what fleet do they have? We outnumber them.'

"Colonel?" asked Marksman

"Captain I want your men around the beach to fall into the underground district. Get the civilians in those underground systems here. Blow up the entrances when they fall back." I said

"What about the men inside?" asked Phantom

"They'll regroup here." I said

"What about the people in the fleet?" asked Marksman

"They'll think we can't fight on two fronts." I said, "They'll have two separate battles. So reinforce the naval fleet."

"Understood." said Marksman

"And wait, Bertholdt, Juggernaut, Bomber and Javelin go with him." I added, "Bertholdt I want you to take out as many ships as you can."

An ATV motorcycle pulled up and a Sentinel approached me.

"Colonel, the naval fleets have engaged the enemy." said the Sentinel

I nodded but I felt off on my plans.

"Got that, you can leave now. Return to your post, Marksman, Bertholdt go now." I said

All three of them left but then I remembered something.

"Wait, have we ever checked if the civilians were actually civilians?" I asked

That's when I heard gunshots echo from the entrance to the underground district.

"Reinforce the men down there now!" I yelled

A bunch of Russians ran down the stairs and more gunshots could be heard.

"Recon find out what's going down there." I said

"Incoming choppers!" yelled a Sentinel

The AA guns started firing at the incoming choppers. Then I saw a bunch of TMOs jump out of the helicopters and a huge blast came out of nowhere. The TMOs became titans and they began to charge at us.

"Eren! Annie!" yelled Commander Erwin

Eren and Annie jumped right over us and engaged the incoming titans.

"Switch to grenade launcher!" I yelled

Phantom tosses me a grenade launcher, I check it and start shooting at the incoming titans.

"Hostiles on the roof!" yelled a soldier

I saw multiple TMO mutants jump off the roof and engage us.

'Goddammit, they're trying to cut us off from using grenade launchers.'

"Don't worry about them, we'll take care of them!" said Aid

He comes out but this time he had some kind of clock on with a hoodie. The rest of the Bounty Hunters started coming out, all of them wearing the same long type of cloaks.

'Please don't tell me that's their new uniform.'

A sharp pain came into my wrist.

'Shit.'

I aimed my grenade launcher and began firing again at the titans.

"More hostiles!" yelled a soldier

"TMO troopers!" yelled a Russian soldier in Russian

"Take out their choppers!" I yelled

"Firing!" yelled Bomber

"Where the fuck are the Scouts?!" asked Kit

"Colonel!" yelled a Sentinel

He ran to me and took cover with me.

"Sir, we're not fighting on two fronts, we're fighting four fronts!" yelled the Sentinel

'What the fuck?'

"Where?!"

"There are some TMOs in the underground district, and our forces have engaged the enemy in Trost, Utopia, Karanase, Krolva, Stohess, Ehrmich, Yarkel, and Olbd!" yelled the Sentinel

"Get Alpha company down there! No civilian casualties at all cost!" I yelled

That's when four lightning bolts struck the ground behind us.

'What more traitors?'

But instead the Armored titan, Beast titan, the Cart Titan and the Jaw titan appeared. The Jaw titan went down to the underground district to support Alpha company.

"Why is the King out here?!" yelled Erwin

"Sorry sir he insisted on coming out!" yelled Marlowe

"Push forward! We need to support the other 8 districts!" I yelled

Our armory began to push forwards into enemy lines. Most of us began to take cover behind the moving tanks.

One titan collapsed and all of us began to light its ass up until nothing was left. A titan tried to grab a Russian soldier but then Levi swooped in and sliced off its arm, then its nape. Now the Scouts appeared and began to take out the remaining titans. But every time a scout took out a titan it seemed that two replaced it. Reiner, Annie and Eren were doing their best to take out as many titans as possible. A TMO mutant tried to stab me so I stepped aside and punched his face. His mask fell off but when he turned around I thought I was dreaming.

"Captain Ivanov?" I whispered

"You know me?" he asked

'He doesn't remember me?'

"Doesn't matter, I'm here to kill all of you!" he yelled

He swung his sword but Recon came in and blocked his sword. She stood in front of me and held her sword up to him.

"I'll handle him, you worry about the others." said Recon

"Recon, I killed him." I said

"I can see that, that's why I'm taking him alive." she said

'It's been a while since you protected me.'

I backed up and rejoined the team.

"Use the tank as cover!" yelled Kit

"Kit, figure out how much longer Armin and Hacker needs to get everything back online!" I yelled

Kit ran back towards the main headquarters to check up on them. I shot a titan's leg then a tank blasted its head off with Eren finishing it by stomping on its nape.

"Colonel they need 4 more minutes!" yelled Kit

I heard jet fighters fly over me.

"It's Echo! Pop a smoke!" I yelled

A Sentinel throws a red smoke towards the titans to signal the jet fighters.

"Fall back!" I yelled

Everyone began to fall back while holding the enemy back.

"Eren! Annie! Reiner! Get out of there!" I yelled

"Incoming!" yelled a Scout

Jet fighters fired missiles at the titans and the TMOs. I was nearly caught in the explosion but Eren stood above me and protected me from the explosion. The Jet fighters flew over us and Eren got up. I thought the titans in our area were killed but one titan jumps onto Eren but then the titan looks at me and launches at me, ignoring Eren. It was a 7 meter titan and it jumped right on top of me. I jumped back and did a backflip as he tried to grab me but somehow the titan swung its other arm and hit the right side of my ribs, my weak point. I crashed into a building and the titan tried reaching for me but Eren dragged it out and killed it.

I gasped for air as I tried to get up. Pain erupted in my right side so I collapsed back onto the floor.

'Is it broken?'

"Ghost!" yelled Phantom

She rushed to me and helped me up.

"Your right side..." she whispered

"I don't know if it's broken." I said

I tried getting up but I collapsed again.

"Ajax let me see." said Phantom

She takes off my vest and my shirt and examines my ribs.

"Oh no..." she whispered, "Aid!"

Aid rushes in and checks up on me.

"Damn, it's broken again. Luckily just a small part of it." said Aid

"Forget about it, this isn't over yet." I said, "We need to reinforce the other areas now."

Marksman's POV

"They are not sinking this ship no matter what!" I yelled

"Yes sir!" replied Sentinel

We made our way to the control room in the main Eldian Carrier Ship.

"Secure Commander Pixis!" I yelled

We entered the room and took out the TMOs who were already inside.

"Commander Pixis are you in there?" I knocked on his door

He slowly opens it, cautious of his surroundings.

"Ah reinforcements." said Pixis

"Sir, we need a sitrep." I said

"The TMOs fleet is as big as our entire Naval fleet combined. It's an equal fight out there and we lost around 50 ships." said Pixis, "Since this is a head to head battle, there's no plan at all, it's just who's the last one standing."

I looked at the enemy's fleet and I saw their main carrier ship about a bit more than a mile away.

"Let's try something." I said, "Bring me the M107 50 cal sniper."

A Sentinel brought it in and I set it up and looked into the scope.

"What are you aiming for?" asked Javelin

"Their main control room." I replied

"That's more than a mile away." replied Javelin

I cocked the gun and adjusted the scope.

"I never miss." I replied

'Wind blowing at least 60 MPH east.'

I held my breath in and aimed it at the commander. He was just a smudge but I could point him out easily because of his uniform. I pulled the trigger and the gun fired, and after a 2 seconds I saw the window break and blood splatter on the wall behind the man. The man collapsed and the entire control was going crazy.

"Oh shit." whispered Juggernaut as he looked through binoculars.

"Great shot." said Pixis

"Thank you sir, let's secure this ship and move on. Bertholdt can't do this on his own." I said, "Three of you stay here and protect the commander."

We exited the control room but then my headset began to make some static noise.

"Captain, can you hear me?" came a voice through my headset

"Loud and clear. Identify." I replied

"Master Sergeant Kit." replied the voice

"Kit what's going on is everything fine?" asked Javelin

"Colonel broke his ribs, every district is under attack. This battle is gonna be a long one, but now we have radio contact so it should give us a better chance." replied Kit

"Colonel's injured again?" I asked worried

"Yes sir, so he's putting you in command for now." he replied

"Understood, take care of him." I replied

"Kit, please stay safe." whispered Javelin

"I will, focus on the mission Javelin, I'll be fine." he replied

"Everyone listen up, we cannot have any hostiles entering this ship." I said, "There has to be at least three more main carrier ships out there. We're gonna find it and kill their commanders, forcing a retreat."

"How exactly are we gonna find them?" asked Javelin, "They have to be all spread out."

I turned around and looked at a GYPS helicopter on the deck.

"Through that." I replied

We all boarded the helicopter with Bomber and Javelin driving.

"Commander Pixis can you hear me?" I asked through my headset

"I'm here son." he replied

"Once Bertholdt shifts into his titan form, have every personal available board the enemy ship. All the enemies would be focused on him giving us a good opportunity. Have your men take over the control room and their main weapons." I replied

"Understood." he replied

"Let's go to work." I said
