Backstabbed

Eren's POV

"Where's Recon?" asked Ghost

"She said she's staying behind to take care of things." replied Aid

Ghost seemed off about it but he just nodded and the Osprey took off.

2 hours later

"Let's keep moving. We don't have the exact location of it." said Levi

I swung through the snowy mountains, searching for a laboratory factory somewhere in the mountains.

"Are you sure our intel is right?" asked Nanaba

Levi nodded in response but I wasn't so sure.

"Captain, look." called out Armin

I looked up and I saw some smoke up ahead.

"Looks like smoke coming out from a smoke stack." said Mike

Mike took a sniff of the air and nodded.

"Burning smoke." added Mike

"Let's move then." said Levi, "Ghost we think we got something."

"The smoke?" asked Ghost through my headset

"Yea, we're going to that site right now." said Levi

"We're already here, rally on us then." replied Ghost

I looked at my forearm watch and turned it on, showing a map of Ghost teams location.

"Let's go." said Levi

We swung through valleys, over trees and small streams until we saw Ghost team on a cliff overlooking a huge laboratory facility.

"Holy shit." whispered Annie

"Let's avoid unnecessary casualties, Armin, call in a missile strike. Thunder team should be on standby." said Ghost

"This is Scout team 104, requesting fire missions on these coordinates over." said Armin through his headset as he sent them the coordinates through his forearm watch.

"This is Thunder 1-1, target acquired. Standby." replied a voice

I looked up and ahead I saw three A-10 thunderbolts approaching the site. The laboratory began blaring their sirens as the A-10s dropped cluster bombs on the site. The entire factory blew up and it was engulfed in fire.

"Good hit, requesting a second round." said Armin

"Copy that, turning for second round." said the same voice

The A-10s rotated back and dropped another round of cluster bombs, burning and exploding the remaining parts of the factory.

"No life signs detected, everything there is dead." said Hacker

"Good work thunder team return to base." said Armin

"Move out." said Ghost

We began moving to our rally point but then Hacker stopped and began to look back at the cliff.

"I don't think, everyone's dead." said Hacker

"You said that there were no life signs detected." said Nanaba

But then Ghost seemed to look worried as well.

"Ghost what's wrong?" asked Aid

"I just feel like, there wasn't a single person there to begin with." said Ghost

He then runs back to the cliff and jumps off and slides down the side of the mountain. Ghost team followed but we used our ODM gear to land on the factory site.

"Not a single body." said Ghost

"What is this bullshit." said Marksman

That's when I heard footsteps all around us. I looked around and I saw a bunch of TMO operators and mutants approaching us.

"Where the fuck did they come from?" growled Jean

I was about to shoot but then I looked around us and I saw snipers stationed in every angle.

"We have you surrounded, lower your guns." said a voice

"We're going to get executed either way." said Levi

"Marksman on my command, take out every sniper." said Ghost

"Understood." replied Marksman

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." said a voice

I looked over and saw TMOs moving over to let someone through. An old man came out and approached us and I gasped.

"Timothy Anderson?" asked Jean

Ghost looked surprised as well, everyone looked horrified.

"I thought I killed you." said Ghost

"Oh, you killed a clone." said Timothy

Ghost had his gun aimed at him ready to fire.

"How did you know we were going to come?" asked Ghost

"I had a little help from your friend." replied Timothy

Timothy moved aside and I thought I was dreaming. Standing amongst the TMOs was Recon.

"Recon?" whispered Aid

"I should have fucking known!" yelled Phantom

Ghost looked shocked and lost of words. He hesitantly lowered his gun and tried to talk but he just didn't know what to say.

"Te-Tessa, why?" whispered Aid

He approached Tessa but the TMOs pointed their guns at him.

"Timothy's right." said Recon

"Right about what?" asked Aid

"Humanity needs to be extinct for this world to be safe." said Recon

"Recon, you bitch. You stabbed us once now again. I had enough with you." growled Phantom

"Aid, please join me. It'll be better for us." said Recon

"Don't give me that bullshit! Have you thought about Connor, huh?!" yelled Aid

Instead of looking sad, Recon glared at him.

"I guess you made your choice then." said Recon

"Recon, why are you doing this?" asked Ghost, "We all forgave you and gave our trust to you, why fuck us again!"

"Maybe because my hatred for you is still in me." replied Recon

"Oi, this shouldn't be getting fucking personal. I'll fucking break every bone in your body." snarled Levi

"Enough, TMOs take them away. I need them alive for my experiment." said Timothy

We all had our guns aimed at the TMOs, not wanting to surrender.

"Drop them." whispered Ghost

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and desperation.

"Drop them." said Ghost

Marksman dropped his sniper in frustration, the rest of Ghost team did the same. I looked at Annie who seemed worried about this. But we took off our ODM gear and raised our hands, surrendering.

"Fuck you Recon." I growled

She glared at me but I glared back at her. TMOs began approaching us and handcuffed us. But then someone hit the back of my head and I blacked out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I groaned and sat up on an icy concrete floor. I looked around and noticed that I was alone in a jail cell. I got up and put my hands on the bar but I got electrocuted so I let go. I yelped at the pain and clenched my fists.

"Eren, are you awake?" called out a familiar voice

"Annie is that you?" I asked

"Yea, are you awake?" asked Annie

"Yea, is anyone else awake?" I called out

"I'm here." called out a male voice

"Damn say your name, how am I supposed to know who you are if I can't see you?" I replied

"Jean."

"Mikasa."

"I'm hungry."

'Definitely Sasha.'

"Connie, I'm in front of you Eren." said Connie

I looked in front of me and I didn't notice Connie was there.

"Levi." whispered Levi

"Hange."

"Nanaba."

"Mike."

"Armin."

"Bertholdt."

"Where's Ghost team?" I asked

"I think they were put in another jail system somewhere else." said a voice that sounded like Jean

I sighed and sat on the cold concrete floor.

"Why did Recon betray us again?" I asked

"Doesn't matter, I'm going to fucking rip her apart." growled Levi

"I'm in." growled Mikasa

"I think everyone's in on that." said Armin

Aid's POV

"Tessa, why?" I asked

I had to wear some raggy clothing cause they took off my armor. Tessa stood in front of my jail cell looking at me.

"I'm doing what's best for this world." replied Tessa

"What about Connor? Have you thought about him?" I asked

"I don't care." replied Tessa

This made me mad so I tried reaching for her but the bars electrocuted me causing me to stagger back.

"You're just as useless as Ajax." said Tessa

"Shut up, this is how he must have felt when you betrayed him." I snapped

"I was never on his side." I replied

"What about my side?" I asked

"Neither yours." she bluntly replied

I began to cry, tears dripping onto the concrete floor.

"You-you played me." I cried

"Sorry you fell for that." was all Tessa replied

She left and looked at Ajax but she slightly does some kind of motion with her head and leaves. I saw Ajax smirk and got up and stretched.

"We're leaving." said Ajax

He grabs hold of his jail cell door and rips it off.

"What the fuck." I gasped

Ghost clenched his fists in a bit of pain from the shock. But he grabs my jail cell door and breaks it open.

"We're going to be hearing alarms at any moment." said Ajax, "Let's go."

I left the cell and we approached a table where my armor and everyone's gear was.

"Ghost?" called out Phantom

Ajax approached her cell as rips opened her cell door.

"Get ready." said Ajax

She nods and gears up and that's when the alarms started ringing.

"Perfect." said Ajax as he pushed a button, opening all the jail cell doors.

The rest of Ghost team came out and looked confused.

"Let's go, move it!" yelled Ghost

I was already with Ghost team.

"What are we going to do with Recon sir?" asked Hacker

"What about her?" asked Ghost

"Sir, you're not going to do anything?" asked Marksman

"Ah, the betraying shit." said Ghost

He smirked and walked off.

"I told her to do it." said Ghost

"Huh?" cried out everyone

"I'll explain later, let's go." said Ghost

We left and headed towards another jail cell where Scout team 104 was being held. Ghost opens all the doors and Scout team 104 comes out but they had their vests and helmets on.

"We're getting out!" cried out Armin

"Get ready!" yelled Ghost

Ghost's POV

I walked towards a door as it opened and two TMO mutants charged at me. I ducked the first mutant's swing and punched him then did a spinning hook kick. I blocked the second mutant's swing and grabbed his throat, lifted him up and threw him over, slamming him to the ground. Aid comes in and slices off their napes.

"Let's go, I have Sentinels coming here." I said

"Sir, permission to kill Recon." said Eren

I sighed and shook my head.

"I'll explain what she's doing later." I said

We left the jail cell and went outside to what looked like a castle.

'Castle? What the fuck is this place?'

"Where are we?" asked Marksman

"Looks like a place called the Gulag." said Hacker

"Doesn't matter." I replied

I looked up and saw Ospreys landing and Sentinels coming out of it. Most of the TMO's were already dead from the fire mission. I saw Recon waiting outside so I approached her.

"You little bitch." growled Hange

"Calm down." said Recon

She tossed me a head and I caught and saw that it was Timothy's.

"Good job." I said

"Sir I'm confused." said Eren

"I ordered her to betray us." said Ghost

"What why sir?" asked Armin

"We couldn't find out who the leader was so we had to do something for him to come out." said Recon, "That's why he told me to betray you when really I didn't."

Aid runs up to her and hugs her, surprising her and they have their moment.

"You really got me there." said Marksman

"I was about to kill her." said Phantom

Scout team 104 laughed it off and Ghost team just looked disappointed.

"Damn. I wish I was that smart." whispered Kit

"Let's go home. We won." said Levi

I laughed and everyone cheered. But Ghost looked a bit concerned.

"Recon, by any chance did you learn anything about the machine Kit and Javelin found back in Australia?" asked Ghost

"Yea it's big. I don't like it but we have bigger problems." said Recon, "We haven't won, not even close."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 hours later

Eren's POV

We were back at the briefing room, I was sitting down with my squad ready to get briefed.

"So, the intel I received back there was bigger than any shit I've seen." said Recon

"What is it?" asked Erwin

Recon turns on the screen of the picture of the machine Kit and Javelin took back in Australia.

"This shit, it's a machine that deploys titan gas into the atmosphere." said Recon

I sat up from my chair in confusion.

"What?" whispered Armin

"Here's a sample video I found." said Recon

She switched slides and it was a video of a test experiment. There were three scientists next to the machine and there were prisoners near it with gas masks on. The scientists pressed a button and inserted something in the machine.

"What did they insert?" asked Mike

Recon doesn't respond so we keep watching.

"Detonation in t minus 2 minutes." said the machine in the screen

The scientists got on a jeep and left the prisoners. After two minutes the machine shoots out whatever they inserted into the machine out into the atmosphere. Then it explodes into the clouds and the clouds turn greenish yellow. Then the humans started jerking around as if they had a seizure. Then thunderbolts hit them and now the prisoners are now titans.

"Fuck me..." whispered Jean

"So, if they launch that shit into our atmosphere we're all titans." said Juggernaut

"We're so fucked." cried Armin

"But I did bring something." said Recon

She places a cylinder looking tube with green liquid in it. It had a TMO logo on it and it looked like one of Sentinel Medical Stim to get rid of the pain except there's no needle on the bottom.

"This is the projectile they inserted into the machine." said Recon

She hands it to Hange.

"It might be useful." said Recon

She takes it and leaves to continue her research.

"That's all I have, Timothy wasn't as bright as I thought." said Recon

But turned around and glared at Ghost.

"And never order me around again." snapped Recon

"You seemed to enjoy my idea. Plus it wasn't an order, it was an offer." replied Ghost

"Ah, whatever." said Recon as she turned and left.

"Erwin, this is big. Not even hazmat suits work. Either we make a stand or we all die." said Ghost

"Understood." replied Erwin
