Former

Ghost's POV

I sighed as Juggernaut and Hacker were standing in front of me looking worried and guilty.

"Both of you understand what did wrong right?" I asked

"Yes sir." replied both of them

"I don't want another argument from both of you, especially in front of other personnel and the civilians." I said

They both firmly nodded.

"Sit out this one mission, cause more trouble you're off." I said

They both nodded.

"Dismissed." I said

They saluted and quietly left the room and I let out a long sigh.

'I left my teams dog tags back at home.'

I checked my holographic watch and we have about 30 minutes left until we take off.

"What am I supposed to do now?" I questioned myself

Someone knocked on my door and before I could even answer the door opened up and Recon came in.

"Let's talk for a minute." she said

"What is it you want to talk about?" I asked

She approached my desk and sighed.

"Let me explain to your team why I killed them." she said

I raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" I asked

"It'll be better for me to explain my intentions, plus I want to apologize to them." she said

"I'll give you four some time to explain but let me give them a gist." I said

Recon frowned a bit but sighed and nodded.

"They'll probably attack me on sight." she said

"That's understandable but I won't allow that." I replied

She nodded and left my room.

4 hours later

Eren's POV

"Stay behind the tanks and the Commandos!" yelled Hange

I cocked my ACR and stayed behind the tank as they were blasting the city, taking out most of the outer defenses. Since the city was more like a shack town so there was nothing to hook on so we were now in the new Sentinel gear, pushing up with them.

"Hold!" yelled Levi

All of us took a knee and our armory and giant robots called Commandos began blasting the remains of the outer defense system.

"Mortars!" yelled Jean

But the anti mortar machine gun attached to the tank fired at the incoming mortars, taking them out from the sky.

"Move it!" yelled Levi

We entered the city and I saw dead bodies of TMO operators everywhere. Apparently the facility was also a shaft but it was a huge shaft that looked like a warehouse in the middle of the city.

"Move move move!" yelled Hange

I moved out of cover and we started moving down the streets but when we turned a corner we saw a line of TMO operators firing at us. Connie used his grenade launcher and fired three shots at them and the TMOs exploded and their bodies flew around.

"Warehouse in sight!" yelled Mike

"Moving!" yelled Nanaba

But then Nanaba was shot in the stomach and she fell backwards.

"Sniper on the warehouse!" I yelled

Sasha rolled on the ground and took out the sniper on top of the warehouse and his body fell to the ground.

"Nanaba!" yelled Mike

"I'm good, thank god the bullet was a 5.56." she said

We kept moving towards the warehouse and we filed against the warehouse. Connie and Bertholdt began setting up charges against the door and we stood clear.

"Fire in the hole!" yelled Connie

He blew up the door and I threw a flashbang inside and once it exploded we entered and took out the blinded enemies.

"On the catwalk!" yelled Jean

I took cover behind a desk and began shooting the TMO operators on the catwalk, taking out one of them. Then Ghost team entered the warehouse and Marksman took out both of them.

"Clear!" yelled Levi

"Where's the underground facility?" I asked

"You have to take the elevator down." said Kairos

He pointed at a small old elevator system, like the ones we use to climb up the walls. But then we heard loud rumbling and Ghost seemed to recognize the footsteps.

"Everyone get out of here!" yelled Ghost

Everything felt like it was slow motion to me, Ghost and the others ran out of the shack and I turned to run out but once we left the warehouse, the warehouse exploded and out came a Colossal titan. It roared into the sky as it tried to dig its way out of the dirt. Our tanks and Commandos started opening fire at the Colossal titan but it swung its arm and smashed some of our armory.

"Get away from it!" yelled Levi

"Eren get up!" yelled Armin

I quickly got up and grabbed Annie's hand and we sprinted away.

"Eren I have an idea!" yelled Armin, "Annie and Eren shift!"

"And what?! We're useless against a colossal titan!" I yelled

"You can boost Annie up! The Colossal titan only stands 40 meters right now! If you can boost her up then she can take out the nape!" yelled Armin

"Eren look out!" yelled Mikasa

I looked up and saw an arm swing towards me, taking out the houses around it and it was coming straight towards me. But someone grabbed me and pulled me aside just in time for us to dodge the swing. I looked up and it was Recon who was holding onto us and she glared at me.

"Do as Armin says!" she yelled

I nodded and me and Annie ran to the Colossal titan and shifted. The titan flesh took over me and I ran near the colossal titan and put my hands down. Annie ran to me as fast as she could and once her foot made contact with my hand I roared into the sky and boosted her up and she went flying onto the colossal titan. She landed on its head and went down towards the nape and she crystallized her fingers and she jammed it in her nape, killing it. I came out of my titan form and hugged Annie as she came out of her titan.

"Now what?" asked Hange

"We go in, through the hole." said Recon

Ghost team was already on it and they began to use grappling gear and began descending down the hole the colossal titan made.

"We're next, let's go!" said Levi

We hooked onto the string and we began descending as well, the colossal titan's body heat was making it really hot and I began sweating. We descended about 100 yards down until we got to a destroyed hallway where Ghost team was waiting for us.

"Prepare for CQB." said Ghost

Bomber stood in front of the line with a ballistic shield and we stood behind him. Ghost tapped his shoulder and he barged into the door and Ghost team began lighting up whoever was in there. We entered the room and I went to the left and began clearing out the remaining TMO operators as they tried running away.

"Move to the next room!" yelled Ghost

"No we have to take this huge elevator over here." said Kairos

He pressed a button on a wall and the wall began to descend into the floor, revealing a huge elevator. We entered the elevator and Kairos pressed a button but then the hinges above us exploded and we were falling.

"Bomber!" yelled Ghost

He pulls out a huge javelin with a hook connected to a string and shoots it at a wall. He then tosses it to Ghost and he begins shooting us with hooks getting us by the gear and we all stopped descending. I hit the wall hard but the string held on and the elevator underneath us crashed onto the ground.

"Everyone good?" asked Levi

"Yes sir." replied everyone

We began to descend down the line until we got to another concrete wall.

"Shoot that button over there." said Kairos

Marksman takes aim and shoots the button and the concrete wall starts to open up. I entered first and checked inside but it was filled with pods with humans floating in water. But most of the humans weren't even fully made, most of them had limbs missing.

"Ghost team, spread out and look for the Sentinels. Scouts rig this place up but if you find anyone who's intact, save them." said Ghost

Connie, Bertholdt and Jean began rigging this place up with explosives while the others were searching for any survivors. I looked into every pod but not a single one I passed by had a full body intact. But I approached a pod that had a full body intact but I saw an eye scar on his left eye. He looked German and he was buff, almost like Juggernaut but he had a lot of tattoos on his body.

"Colonel I think I got someone here!" I yelled

He rushed over with Marksman and their eyes widened.

"It's Gunner, get him out." said Ghost

I backed up as Marksman began working on some kind of screen next to the pod.

"It's not letting me open." said Marksman

Ghost punched the bottom of the pod, breaking the hinges and water started leaking out. Ghost grabbed the broken hinge and broke off the pod and water splashed out and Gunner's body began to fall forward but Ghost and Marksman caught him.

"Set him down. Kit!" yelled Ghost

Kit rushed over and started treating him.

"Gunner wake up!" yelled Ghost

Gunner's eyes began to slowly open and he looked around.

"Who are you?" he whispered

"It's me Ghost." replied Ghost

He gasped and sat up.

"Ghost, what the I'm supposed to be dead." he said

"There's a lot to explain but we'll explain later." said Ghost

"It was Recon, she was the one who killed me. She betrayed us." ranted Gunner

"Hey calm down." said Marksman

"Who are you?" asked Gunner

"Marksman." replied Marksman

"Holy shit, where's Tech, Exploder?" he asked

"We're looking for them right now." replied Ghost

He nodded and we started searching again.

"Colonel!" I heard Armin yell

We ran to him and he was helping a guy with Mikasa.

"Tech." said Marksman

We approached him but he was already awake.

"Sentinel?" he whispered, "Am I not dead?"

"Tech it's me Ghost." said Ghost

"I know, your mask." he weakly replied

"Tech are you okay?" asked Ghost

He nodded.

"Sir, it was Recon she killed me." said Tech

"We'll explain later." said Ghost, "Get him to Kit and get them to the front and have them ready to go up."

I split up from Ghost team but then I saw someone in a pod I recognized. I stopped running and slowly backtracked a bit and looked into the pod and gasped.

"Timothy Anderson?" I whispered to myself

His body was fully intact so I pulled out my pistol and shot him three times. His blood began to mix with the water and the water started leaking out of the bullet holes.

"Eren!" yelled Annie

She approached me and looked into the pod and gasped.

"That's Mr Anderson." she said

I nodded and the blood started covering him so I couldn't see him. I was just about to leave but the glass broke and Mr Anderson came out and grabbed my throat. Annie roundhouse kicked his stomach forcing him to drop me so I tackled him to the ground and started pounding his face but he pushed me off and got up.

Me and Annie aimed our ACRs and started blasting him, blood splattering everywhere but I aimed for his neck and his entire neck exploded with his head. His body fell to the ground and it didn't move after that.

"Eren what happened?" asked Levi

He ran to us and looked at the body.

"Who was that?" he asked

"Mr Anderson sir." I replied

Ghost and Marksman approached from up front and they looked at the body.

"Who was he?" asked Marksman

"Mr Anderson sir." said Annie

Ghost sighed and nodded.

"We got Exploder, we're leaving right now." said Ghost

We turned and left the body and headed towards the elevator. Three guys were sitting there, with a blanket covering them.

"Let's get them up." said Ghost

Bomber started strapping the three of them up and they all started ascending upwards.

"Let's go." said Ghost

I hooked myself and went up the rope and helped the three former Ghost team members hook onto the other set of ropes and ascended to the destroyed warehouse.

"Alright, let's go home! Gather the wounded and the dead!" yelled Ghost
