The Might Of A True Uchiha - Chapter 67

*3rd Pov*

[No, I think it might. Erwin picked these guys out for a reason.] said Levi. He too was covered in a coat, however, he wasn’t injured, like in the anime, so he had a coat over his survey corps outfit, including his green cape.

[Open the gate!] a voiced boomed out as the gate opened itself

[The situation within Wall Rose is unclear. But everything up until Ehrmich is safe. We’ll save time going through there. Move out!] said Erwin.

[Yes, Sir!] Everyone shouted and then started to charge out of the gate.

[Take us out.] said Levi

[Yes, sir!]

– Insert horses moving sounds –

[Huh? He knew? There’s Titans inside the walls and he’s known about it?!] questioned Eren after a brief explanation from Hange.

[Yes, though… he’s kept his mouth shut this entire time. But now he’s coming with us to witness the harsh reality. Will his beliefs be strong enough for him to stay silent? Or will seeing it with his own eyes make him question himself?] said Hange

[No, no, no, no! This is all backwards! If there’s something you know, tell us about it! Nothing’s more important than keeping humans from going extinct!] said Eren while gripping his right eye.

[Eren, settle down. You’ve still not fully healed.] said Mikasa while glaring at Alex, who sighed with a shoulder shrug.

[There’s more than one way to get answers. It doesn’t take much to watch one man. Even an injured person could do it. I’m hoping we can settle this without blasting a hole in anyone. Aren’t you?] questioned Levi while pointing a gun underneath his coat, aiming at Paster Nick.

[Threatening him doesn’t work, Levi. Believe me, I’ve tried. Ask Alex, he saw some of it. It seems to me that this priest is capable of sound judgment. That’s why I wonder… What if the reason he doesn’t talk is because he knows something more important than the fate of humanity?] questioned Hange

– 11 hours later –

[Hange.] said Levi. He got no response

[Hey, four-eyes. Are your hobbies so boring that playing with rocks is somehow fun for you?] questioned Levi

[Yeah. That’s right. But this is no ordinary rock. It’s a hardened fragment of skin left behind by the female titan.] said Hange

[Huh? It didn’t disappear?] questioned Armin

[Right! Annie reverted from a Titan, but it’s still intact even though it broke off her body. It didn’t evaporate. It didn’t disappear. So I thought, “What if?”. When I compared it to a piece of the wall, its pattern and composition were practically identical. In other words, the wall is a barricade of humongous Titans. And if I’m right, the surface is constructed with hardened titan skin.] said Hange

[Thats exactly what Armin and Alex were saying…] said Mikasa

[Th-then-] Armin’s mouth was forcefully closed.

[Let me finish, Armin. As it stands, we’ll be hard-pressed to fill the hole in Wall Rose. That is unless we can find the perfect boulder to plug it. But if… But if Eren or Alex, in their transformed state, could use the titans hardening ability to seal the hole in the wall…] said Hange

[Use us… to seal the wall?] said Eren

[It should be made of the same material. And seeing how the hardened section won’t evaporate, even after you revert from a Titan… it’s possible…] said Hange

[*Cough cough, actually, I’ve hardened a little in my titan form.] said Alex

[You have?! Why haven’t you said so!] questioned Hange

[‘Cause you didn’t say so. And because it is practically useless. The one time I hardened was on accident, and all I could harden was this.] said Alex while bringing his necklace. Yeah, the one he used for his stand, Hanged Man. Since then, I had tried doing it, but I just couldn’t. But that’s with outside means.] said Alex

[Meaning there are means to gain hardening, without practice?] questioned Hange. Alex nodded

[I’m not quite sure, however, I’ve heard that a titan shifter could gain the ability to harden if they ingested an ‘armour’ serum. From what I’ve heard, it originates from the true royal family. I’m not sure about their last name, so I’m guessing it isn’t the Fritz family, the current king.] said Alex. He looked at Nick, who had gone slightly pale. Alex sighed and then put the necklace under his clothes again.

[So, we either potentially wait years for you to gain the hardening ability, or we find the ‘true royal family’ and get the ‘armour serum’, which will, in turn, let you and Eren gain hardening?] questioned Hange

[Yes. However, take note of the ‘gain’, not ‘master’. Meaning, we would gain the ability, but still need practice. This makes me think that the armoured serum only boosts the manifestation of the hardening. But, if I or Eren could get the hardening, we should be able to make big structures with slight difficulties, with small structures will major difficulties, without practice.] said Alex. Hange nodded to this.

[I think it’s well worth the risk to try. And assuming it really does work, reclaiming Wall Maria is feasible, too. Up until now, we’ve had to transport a large quantity of materials and supplies. That’s why the need for outposts past the wall limited our progress. But if we don’t have to accommodate supply wagons… we could quickly make our way to Shiganshina. What if we carried out the plan at night?] explained Armin

[At night?] said Hange

[Yes. During the night, when Titans can’t move.] said Armin

[I see… If the group was small enough, you could sneak all the way to Wall Maria. The current situation is as bad as it gets, but… we still have a glimmer of hope.] said Hange

[Yes, but remember… it all depends on whether Eren or Alex can seal the hole or not. Other factors like if there is only one “Armour serum” would hinder the time it takes to seal the hole, or if there is none anymore. Or if there is some kind of abnormal that can move at night.. it’s all just a stroke of luck in the end…] said Armin

[It doesn’t matter what you guys think. You have to. There’s no other choice. We’re out of options. Our forces are struggling so desperately, here’s nothing else they can do. You have to succeed.] said Levi

[I will! I’ll do whatever it takes to seal the wall! Whatever it takes… the bas.e.m.e.nt… my dad’s bas.e.m.e.nt… if what my dad said was true, we’ll find the answers to everything there.] said Eren

[It’s Ehrmich District.] said Hange

[After a brief settle in, Alex accompanies Levi, who was walking down some stairs, which led to a slightly pale Nick.

[Hey, keep moving. You’ll end up like a little lost kid.] said Levi while kicking him lightly.

[Th-This is…] said Nick, with a dramatic pause.

[What did you expect you’d see? Sunshine and rainbows? This is what happens when the wall falls. Lost family members, homelessness, whatever you can say, most likely, one of these people has one.] said Alex, not letting Levi speak. Nick was about to talk to them but was stopped by Levi.

[Hey! Where do you think you’re going? Take a good look at the faces of people who’ve lost everything. The faces of everyone you and your people abandoned. If your church’s wish comes true, and the titans come flooding through the walls, we’ll all be gobbled up in their stinking mouths and die in the most miserable way possible. All of humanity, digested as one.] said Levi

[Actually, Eren got first-class treatment, considering he was eaten, digested, and brought to the stomach acid of a titan.] said Alex. Nick looked at Alex with shock. The three left-back to a supply area, where Hange talked to Eren and Alex.

[Once we leave Ehrmich, we’ll be in Titan territory.] said Hange

[Eren? Think you can ride a horse?] said Moblit.

[Yes. I feel fully recovered now, no thanks to someone.] said Eren while glaring at Alex. Alex turned his head.

[Yours is ready at the west lift, along with Alex’s. Let’s hurry.] he said. Eren and Alex followed the man, who led them to their horses. They stopped though.

[Section Commander. We should hurry.] said Moblit. Alex could see Armin, Mikasa, and Kaguya in the background.

[Give me a minute, Moblit.] said Hange. He walked to Nick, who had his head down.

[Have you had a change of heart yet?] questioned Hange. Nick looked down even further, which made Hange madder.

[We don’t have time for this! You know, don’t you?! Will you talk, or won’t you?! Make up your mind already!] screamed out Hange

[I cannot say anything. The other believers are the same as I, and that will never change.] said Nick in a quiet voice.

[Well thanks for nothing! We’re so grateful for all the help you’ve been!] screamed out Hange while walking away a little. However, she was stopped by the mumbling of Nick.

[It’s too great a decision for a single person to make. The Order of the Walls must always adhere to the sacred will we’re bound to obey.] said Nick

[Whose will? God or something?] questioned Hange

[I cannot say anything. However, I can inform you of a name, who under their sacred will, we were instructed to monitor.] said Nick

[Monitor?] questioned Hange

[That person joined the Survey Corps as of this year. Their name is… JIGEN!!]

[NANI THE F.U.C.K!!]

(A/N: Jk, its not Jigen. It will be changed in the next chapter, into ‘their name is (Name)’. I have upgraded from ‘Minor accomplishment’ to ‘Minor+ accomplishment. Worship me. Jk, look forward for the next chapter 🙂 )
