Chapter 64: Welcome party
Hanji: It's a trap door. Eren and our enemies should be inside. It'd be good if the terrain is as what I predicted...
Levi squad found the door to the basement.
Marlo and Hitch are keeping watch outside
Levi: I hope that detour, and that souvenir we prepared will not be in vain...
And guys... Are you prepared to dirty your hands?
Levi: ... Looks good to me.
"Our enemies are at least 7 people... And Levi should be among them..."
Kenny's subordinates are keeping watch at a pillar underground
notAnnie: Our best bet is to lure them in deep, and shower them with concentrated fire. However, our opponents can use 3DMG well, and I suspect they will enter, jumbled around
As you know, Levi was ambushed by us, and yet, he managed to kill 12 of our comrades
With the CMP and government conquered, we are in a terrible situation
We are better off dead than to surrender to them
However... that's also true as long as we live within the walls, right? We have an undefeatable enemy (titan), and we won't know when they will breach the walls, and proceed to destroy us all.
We joined the MP, joined the CMP, followed Kenny... in order to find some meaning in our meaningless life in this meaningless world
So let's believe in it till our last. Fighting our enemies here will earn us some time, and hopefully our efforts will be compensated then. We will turn this world inside out (T/N: She means to make the shitty world better). Let us believe in Kenny's dream.
Bang!
notAnnie: !!
Door is kicked open, and subordinates hold their breath, trying to lure them in as deep as possible
"(That is...?!)"
Levi squad throws a gas barrel in
And Sasha shoots at it with a fire arrow. It explodes
"Wtf! (Gunpowder...!! )
"!!"
LM flies in on 3DMG
Hanji + gang throws more smoke bomb to obstruct their vision
notAnnie: I see... With this smoke as obstruction, we won't be able to aim properly
Levi: 35 enemies! They're stiffening up at the pillar up ahead!!
Continue with the attack!! Kill all the enemies here!!
notAnnie: Disperse!! Surround them with our numbers!!
Jean, Connie, Hanji follows after LM
Sasha and Armin provide support near the entrance with smoke and arrows
Armin: (It's just like Hanji's prediction, though... this place is really big...)
Hanji: (This can't be man-made... The walls are shining. Just how big is this place?)
Hanji goes further in, so she can use her 3DMG more effectively in the wide space
The idea to use smoke came from Armin
"Damnit! They wanna smoke us?! Where the hell are they!!"
Armin: (Anti-human 3DMG have one weakness. They can only aim their anchor and fire their shot in one direction. In other words, when they're moving, they can't shoot at whatever's behind them)
Jean used the smoke, and creeps up behind an enemy
Jean's attack is succesful
Armin and Sasha supports their teammate who's about to get shot with smoke and arrow
And Connie cuts one down
Armin: (Another weakness is the time it takes to reload after firing two shots)
Hanji dodged a shot, and cuts down an enemy, who is reloading
Kenny's subordinates are scattered around thanks to the smoke
LM closes in, and cuts them down one after another with their blades
"Wtf! That woman! She's a monster"
notAnnie: (This is... the end for us...! If only one of them... have an opening!!)
notAnnie dodges LM attack, and shoots Hanji
Hanji: You missed both shots badly!!
Are you looking for an early death too?!
Hanji closes in in an instant
SFX:
Hanji: AH
notAnnie drives her anchor into Hanji
[notAnnie and Hanji flying in the air.jpg]
Hanji avoids a fatal hit, but got hit in her shoulder. She hits the pillar, and falls down
"Hanji-san!!"
notAnnie: Now!! Retreat!! Get out of the smoke!! Get back into position!!
Levi: Armin! I'll leave Hanji to you! The rest, go after the enemies! (Damnit. He's still here. Where the hell is Kenny...)
Rod: Our enemies are closing in. Let's hurry, Historia...
Eren still chained up, struggling
Historia: What is it... Eren. What are you glaring at?
Rod: I guess he must have known his fate.
The power he snatched, should go back to you
Rod: This cave was created by a titan around 100 years ago
The 3 walls were built by the same titan power too. With the walls, humanity are protected from the titans
Not only that, we also wished for the remaining humanity to be able to live in peace
And that had an effect on the people. Other than some nobles, humanity's memories were modified
Not one of the descendants, nor the humanity remembers the history of the world from 100 years before. No one knows where the titans came from.
Only one... and that is Frieda Reiss
Frieda not only holds the titan power, she also possesses knowledge of the world and it's history
She received the memory, and that power when she was 15. 8 years ago, right here, when she ate her uncle, my little brother
Frieda cries as she receives the injection
She eats uncle, who is chained up, with a face saying he knows what is gonna happen
Family watches on. Mama with tears in her eyes.
Rod: That is the duty imposed on the Reiss, the royal family.
Frieda inherited the "titan power" and "memories of the world" from her predecessor, her uncle
It went on, many times for many generations for 100 years
One person will hold the titan power and the memories. He/she is the walking encyclopedia of the world, and is entrusted with humanity's future.
But... not one of them told the public about it. It's proof that they inherited the will of the first king, who created this walled society...
Rod looks far away
Historia: ... Father?
Rod: ...! We got to hurry up...
This situation we're in, and the stupid situation with humanity fighting, and killing each other can be resolved if Frieda used her titan power.
We can even eliminate all the titans
Historia: ...I-If that's possible... then how did things end up like this?!
Rod: That's because... the titan power taken from Frieda is now within Eren
Only people who possess the blood of Reiss royal family can utilize the true power
This hell will not end as long as he remains a vessel
Historia: Eh... then...
Kenny shows up from above: heyheyheyhey...
Then unless the Reiss eats Eren, they can't become the real King?
Rod: ... That's right?
Kenny makes a face: T...Then, it's pointless for me become a titan and eat Eren...
So this is Kenny's true color?!
