I'm the Armored Titan, He's the Colossal Titan

"Is everyone here?" Captain Nile, wearing a headscarf, stood in front of Nanaba and Gelgar.

"Yes, both the North and South platoons, along with all the New Recruits, are present!" Nanaba said, placing his right fist on his left chest.

Thirteen New Recruits, including Reiner, Jean, and Connie, stood at the back with their heads held high and chests out.

Nile nodded, glanced at the group of New Recruits, and said, "All New Recruits, hurry up and get to the Logistics Squad to equip yourselves with the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear!"

"Yes!"

"Hey, Reiner, something feels off." Bertholdt followed behind Reiner, frowning, feeling that the Scout nearby were watching them intentionally or unintentionally.

Reiner: "Bertholdt, aren't you being too suspicious?"

Bertholdt exchanged a glance with a red-haired Scout, who quickly turned away. "I hope I'm just being paranoid."

Let's Connie together. "Connie, the Soldiers said Sasha encountered Titan on her way back to the village and even saved a child."

Connie, on the other hand, was somewhat absent-minded, his mind constantly wandering to the Titan lying on the roof of his house.

"Connie!?"

"Huh?" Jean's shout finally brought Connie to his senses. He looked at Jean in surprise and asked, "What are you doing, Jean?"

Rang said, "I wanted to ask you what you were doing and what you were thinking. You wouldn't answer when I called you."

Connie: "Uh, it's nothing, I..."

Ymir, on the other hand, kept a gloomy face, his gaze constantly sweeping across the faces of the Soldiers on the city wall, staying close to Christa.

"Here, New Recruits, come here to collect your equipment!" Logistics Squad Scott waved his arm to the New Recruits.

Bertholdt reached for a wooden crate, but a hand stopped him. Startled, Bertholdt looked up to see Scott smiling and saying, "New Recruits, ladies first." He then gestured to Mina behind Bertholdt.

Bertholdt blushed slightly, "Okay, okay," and stepped aside, which made Mina behind him a little embarrassed.

"Perfect timing. You and that strong New Recruits go to the tents at the back and help our Logistics Squad move a few more sets of equipment over," Scott instructed.

Reiner and Bertholdt, who were called out, had no choice but to walk towards the tents behind the Logistics Squad.

One side of the city wall was piled high with supplies for the Logistics Squad. Reiner and Bertholdt walked toward one of the tents, but there wasn't a single Scout around.

Bertholdt felt a slight sense of unease. Upon entering the tent, both Reiner and Bertholdt were stunned, for there was already someone inside.

"Eren?" Reiner was a little confused. Sitting on a wooden box in front of him was Eren, whose head was still bandaged.

"Ah, Reiner and Bertholdt," Eren greeted them expressionlessly.

Reiner noticed the bandage on Eren's head and asked with concern, "Eren, is your head injury not healed?"

"It's fine."

Reiner smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright. Bertholdt and I will move the boxes over there first." He then walked towards the boxes containing the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.

Bertholdt looked around but found no movement. He then looked at the unsuspecting Eren sitting there and a crazy idea came to his mind.

"Reiner, I remember you and Bertholdt once talked about going back to your hometown, right?" Eren suddenly blurted out.

Reiner suddenly froze, and Bertholdt's eyes widened. "Yes, Bertholdt and I are determined to go back to our hometown!" Reiner murmured, head bowed.

Bertholdt: "That's right, Reiner, we'll be back home soon! We're almost there, aren't we?"

Eren said quietly, "Yes, if we could reclaim Wall Maria, we could return home. But our home has been destroyed, Reiner. The Titan have destroyed everything. What would happen if we went back?"

Reiner lowered his head, his expression gradually darkening. "Eren... you're right!"

Reiner suddenly looked up and grabbed Eren's shoulder. "You're right! The Titan destroyed everything, but from now on, the walls will never be destroyed again! Eren, come home with us!"

The scene fell silent instantly, and Eren's face was no longer calm.

"Reiner? What are you talking about?" Bertholdt, standing next to him, didn't react for a moment. He suddenly felt that Reiner seemed even crazier than he thought.

Reiner said with utmost seriousness, "Come with us, and the walls will never be destroyed again. Humanity will have peace!"

Bertholdt: "Reiner... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Reiner suddenly became agitated and shouted, "No! I've had enough! I've had enough of living with a bunch of idiots for three years! Eren! Don't you want those idiots who are still alive to die in the mouths of Titan? Come with us, and the walls won't be destroyed anymore!"

Eren stared into Reiner's eyes. "Destroyed the walls? Reiner, it was the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan that destroyed the walls."

Reiner released Eren's shoulder, pointed to himself and Bertholdt, and said, "I am the Armored Titan, and he is the Colossal Titan. He was the one who kicked down Wall Maria, and I was the one who smashed down the gate. Our goal was to destroy the demons within the Walls. But now, Eren, if you come with us, we will not destroy the walls anymore."

Reiner's tone was calm, but Bertholdt, standing to the side, was stunned and stammered, "Reiner, I, you, Eren, we, are not, but..."

While Bertholdt was still in shock, Eren suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha..." Reiner and Bertholdt both looked at the laughing Eren.

"Hahaha..." The laughter gradually subsided, and Eren's eyes welled up with tears. "Reiner, Bertholdt... we trusted you so much. I thought we were comrades-in-arms." Eren's voice was low.

Bertholdt, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "Eren! Reiner is right, come with us! The walls will be safe from now on!"

Eren's green eyes stared at Bertholdt. "Safety? I don't understand!"

Reiner grabbed Eren's shoulder again. "I'm sorry, Eren, we are warriors!"

Bertholdt: "Reiner! Shall we make a move? Now? Here?"

"Reiner, Bertholdt, you two... damn traitors!!!" Eren roared, grabbing Reiner's shoulder and throwing him hard in the back.

"Now!!!" a loud shout came from outside the tent.

Bang! Before Bertholdt could react, a heavy wooden crate suddenly slammed into his back, knocking him to the ground.

"Damn it!" Bertholdt was about to stand up when a series of figures rushed into the tent and pinned him down.

"Control him!" "Don't let him hurt himself!!" "Quickly!!"

In a swift action, Bertholdt's hands were handcuffed and his mouth was gagged with a cork stick wrapped with strips of cloth.

"Crack!" A scream rang out as Mikasa coldly sprang out from behind Eren and snapped Reiner's arm. Immediately, several Scout rushed forward and subdued Reiner.

"Now!!!" This shout made Ymir tense up, and she instinctively pulled Christa to her side.

"New Recruits, you seem very nervous?" A faint voice came from behind Ymir.

Ymir turned around abruptly and met a pair of dead fish eyes.
