Back within the walls, the regiments were all gathered in the meeting room and discussed the new appearances of the Marleyan soldiers. The Scouts were on the right side, the Garrison in the middle, and the Military Police on the left side. In front of them were Commander Zachary, Queen Historia and another high-ranked soldier beside her.

"That concludes Zeke Yeager's requests." Hange said while she was standing and reading off from pieces of multiple papers. "For the sake of Eldians whose existence is threatened..."

"Absurd!" A voice cut her off, making everyone look over to a high-ranked officer who had his narrowed gaze up at Hange. "I don't even want to hear it!"

"He's the Beast Titan!" A Military Police officer added. "He turned the people of Ragako into Titans and incited a panic! This is the same person who nearly annihilated the Scouts!"

The Scouts stayed silent, they were looking at that soldier while Zachary propped his elbows on the table and intertwined his hands together."His one and only goal is to retake the Founding Titan. Since he can't do it by force, he'll attempt it diplomatically."

Pixis spoke up from his seat. "He should know we'll expect that." He turned his head to Hange. "Let's hear what else he has to say."

Hange looked at him for a moment before she went back to reading the papers. "According to Zeke, he has a secret plan to solve the Eldian issue. To carry it out, it requires the Founding Titan and a Titan with royal blood."

Eren raised his brows and opened his mouth slightly at those words. "With both, the world can be saved. However, he will only reveal the plan when his conditions are met."

Armin meanwhile noticed Eren's expression from the corner of his eyes and turned to him.

"Bullshit!" A Garrison soldier yelled and crossed his arms while he leaned back in his seat.

"He must think we're idiots!" Another soldier yelled.

Everyone just stared at the two until Eren suddenly shot up in his seat and placed his hands on the table. His chair was pushed away while he stared at the table with wide eyes. Mikasa and Armin, who were beside him, stared at him in surprise. "Eren?" Armin muttered.

"He's telling the truth." Eren exclaimed. "I remember... The one time I was able to use the Founding Titan's power was when I touched a Titan with royal blood. That Titan had to be my father's other wife, Dina Fritz. Zeke, Dina's son, must have figured out a way to elude the vow of renouncing war. The single hope remaining for us Eldians: To wake the millions of Titans sleeping in the Walls and activate the rumbling."

"You..." Eren looked down at Levi, who was looking up at him with furrowed brows. "Why did you keep quiet about this for so long?"

"I was concerned for Historia's safety." He replied. Historia perked up at that, her eyes slightly increasing and her mouth parted. "I couldn't let her get made into a Titan based on some hunch of mine." They continued to look at him. "Yeah, it was careless of me." 

"We'll talk about this later." Levi told him, while Hange had sweat rolling down her face.

"But if that's really true..." She turned around and placed two fingers against her temple, "Zeke's secret plan holds up."

"Are you nuts?!" Nile yelled. "You trust them?!"

"Yeah!" A Garrison member added on. "We can't have all those soldiers on the island!"

"We oughta hang them all!" A Military Police officer stated, which made Hange narrow her gaze at them.

"No, we can't do that." she replied. "To protect the island from Marley's scout ships, we need the volunteers. Without their wireless radio..."

The scene changed again, it was nighttime. Two Marley ships were making their way to Paradis. One of the Marleyan soldiers was listening through the wireless radio, until he heard a faint voice coming through. "This is...fir...scout fleet. Request....aid."

The soldier tried quickly, by tuning the radio, to get a better connection. "This is.... first scout fleet." After he got a better connection, he pressed his headphones close and spoke into the mic.

"Second fleet. Go ahead."

"What a relief!" It was Yelena's voice. "Our ship ran ground! We've been waiting for your help!" She was smirking while she said this.

"We're on the way! In the cove, huh? How many ships?" As he got an answer, he replied to her. "Don't worry! Two are headed your way!"

Onyankopon and a Marley soldier were on the abandoned ship, they were holding onto the railing and waved to the incoming ships. On three small boats were a few soldiers. "Hey!" One of them called to them. "You okay? We're coming to get you!"

But suddenly a huge, yellow, electricity field erupted to their right side. It was the Colossal Titan who was slowly standing up. "It's the Colossal Titan!" "How?!"

Because of the transformation, the waves got aggressive and hit the soldiers on the small boats and on the ships, they screamed and grunted while trying to stay on the boats. "Hey! It's the Enemy!" the Marleyan soldier cried, pointing at the Titan.

"Hurry! Jump!" Onyankopon yelled at them.

The soldiers began jumping off the ships and started to swim away. The bright light died down while a Marleyan soldier climbed himself onshore, letting out his pants until he felt a gun pressed against his forehead, he looked up and saw Levi holding the gun and kneeling while other Scouts held their guns and aimed them at the soldiers behind him.

"Welcome to the filthy island of filthy devils." Levi greeted him. "You're gonna love it. As long as you like pig piss."

The soldiers held their arms up when they noticed that they were surrounded. "You can leave if you want, but not on a ship. Are you good at swimming?"

The Colossal Titan looked down at them, standing still as he listened to them.

(Flashback Ends)

Eren heard the knocking and he opened the door, revealing Commander Hange and the scouts. Eren said, "So it's time? Let's go."

Then they are taken to the Reiss Chapel, the ones standing in front of Eren were Floch, Sasha, and a girl named Louise. The three of them are ready to take the power of the Armored, the Beast, and the Cart Titan.

"What about the Jaw and the War Hammer Titan, your highness?" Louise asks Eren, who replied. "Unfortunately, the royal family of the War Hammer Titan, the Tyburs, were the traitors, so I will keep it, I will also keep the power of the Jaws for now."

After Eren left, with Mikasa, Armin, and Annie following him, Jean said, "But still, to think Sasha had the royal blood of the Beast Titan... who would have ever guessed that."

Connie said, "Yeah, only those with the Royal Blood won't be able to die from the Ymir's curse."

(Flashback Continues)

Back in the past, a blueprint was spread out on the table. Sasha, Jean, and Connie looked down at it in wonder and interest. Hange, Yelena, Onyankopon, and the rest of the squad, apart from Levi and Eren, were in the room, too. They were discussing things with the group they were amazed by it.

"By the way, why do you have dark skin, Onyankopon?" Sasha asked him curiously.

He was surprised by that question, but then he smirked and placed his right hand on his chin. "Because our creator thought it's more interesting with a mix of people." They looked at him with wide eyes. "You subjects of Ymir are the same. We exist because we were wanted."

"Who created us?" Armin asked him.

Onyankopon held his arms out. "The one who gave the Founder power. God." A short moment of silence followed and sweat rolled down his face. "That's what some people believe. Aren't we free to think what we want?"

It was another day, they were at a port, which was in the progress to be built, standing in front of a table with different seafood were Mikasa, Armin, Connie, Sasha, and Jean. Yelena and Nicolo were with them, too.

"What the hell is this food? Is it even edible?" Connie asked.

"Smells fishy." Mikasa muttered.

"You've never had seafood?" Yelena asked them with a smile. She pointed with her right hand at Nicolo behind her, who was cooking. "Nicolo's a master of Marleyan cooking."

Connie, Sasha, and Jean looked at the food with wide eyes while Nicolo spoke up. "Jerks. If you don't like it, don't eat. Eldians like you don't -" He was cut off when Sasha took an emotional bite out of the lobster. She began to eat more and more.

"So good!" "Hey!" "No fair, Sasha!"

Sasha began to cry over the good food. "Nicolo! You're a food genius!"

Nicolo stared at her shocked, then he blushed at her words. "S-Stop eating like a pig!"

Sasha continued to eat and cried while doing so, Connie began to eat from a lobster, too. "I've never had anything like this!" She mumbled.

Nicolo turned back to cooking. "There's plenty take your time." Sasha continued to cry behind him while he stared at the pots in front of him, still blushing.

Later that day, Eren was shooting at glass bottles with a rifle. Mikasa and Armin kept him company.

"The port will be finished soon!" Armin said, who was sitting on a box behind Eren while Mikasa stood beside Armin with a rifle in her hand. "Thanks to the Marleyan engineers, building it's been quick."

Mikasa looked at him. "They've sure been cooperative."

Armin held his hands over his ears when Eren shoot again. He put his hands down and looked back at Mikasa. "It went bad at first since neither side trusted the other."

It showed Hange and Armin offering the Marleyans tea with smiles on their faces. The Marleyans looked at them with a mix of sadness and distrust.

"But given enough time, if we set aside our labels and see each other as people, we can understand each other."

The Marleyans showed Hange and Armin what a train is and how it works. Both of them stared at it woth wide eyes and dropped jaws. The Marleyans were surprised and smiled at their amazement.

Eren looked at him for a moment, before he looked away and aimed at the glass bottles. "Armin. Have you seen Bertolt's memories?"

Armin's eyes widened. "Huh? Yeah, but there's nothing that seems helpful." He answered, looking at the ground.

"There's not much time." Eren stated. "Zeke has less than three years left."

"Yeah, about that..." Armin began. "Do we really want to go along with Yelena's plan?"

"What's the problem?" Mikasa asked him.

"Is using the rumbling to threaten the world the only way to protect Eldians? Then we will be the devils that terrorize the world." Armin asked.

Eren shot another bottle while Armin continued. "Before it comes to that, can't we talk? If we can fix Marley and the world's misconception..."

Eren reloaded the rifle when he spoke up. "Misconception? What misconception?"

Armin looked at him while Mikasa looked at Armin with a sad look. "You know, like how we're scary." 

"The world sees us as monsters who can turn into Titans. They're not wrong." Eren stated.

Mikasa frowned at him. "They're Marleyans who like us, too."

"How many?" Eren asked her while he aimed at a bottle again. "Most of the Marleyans are sitting in prison cells."

"But given enough time..."

"Yeah." Armin agreed. "We need time."

"Time, huh..." Eren said while his eyes glowed for a second, and just then, the bullet suddenly speeded up and destroy not only the target but also the tree behind it.

"What's going on? That bullet accelerated!" Armin gasped. "Eren, did you do this?"

Eren sighed and said, "I've arranged a meeting with the queen. Let's go."

And here is a new chapter, in the next chapter, things are going to be original.
