When Eren was about to kill Reiner, Reiner suddenly roared back with a yell, "Just... go to sleep!"

Eren was surprised at how much strength he had left and he decided to make an escape, Reiner was about to chase him, but a cannon was shot in front of him and he quickly dodged.

Eren looked to see Zeke being the one firing the cannon. "Big Brother?" Eren gasped.

"There he is." Magath muttered. "The wonderboy."

Zeke said, "I'm a little late, but good job hanging in there, Eren. Leave the rest to your big brother."

Eren nodded and said, "Zeke, we're counting on you."

Zeke then fired the cannons again, and this time, he aimed for all the airships above. Magath, who was controlling an armored tank, yelled, "I'll blast his nape! Line me up!"

"Roger!" The soldiers controlling the armor tank was trying to aim at Zeke, but a boulder was shot at the tank, causing it to take the attack.

"Sasha!" Eren gasped. "Thanks a lot."

"No problem." Sasha said, still in her Titan form.

"I'll punish that traitor myself!" Magath yelled as the soldiers continued to hold on.

"Our comeback has begin!" Louise yelled in her Cart Titan form as Yelena continued to shoot the cannons on the back at the soldiers.

"Take cover! Don't get hit!" The soldiers tried to run, but they were hit by the Armored Titan slamming fists at them.

"Ereh!" Mikasa rushed to Eren, and he muttered, "I'm fine. Big Brother, if you're here, what about Colt and Gloria?"

"There is no need to worry about them. They are fine." Zeke said as Colt, Falco, and Gloria appeared.

"The Marley military from the east was already eliminated." Colt said. 

Eren asked, "Falco, what are you doing here? You should try to hide." Eren said.

"No, I'm fighting as well. I'm a trained Warrior Candidate." Falco said. "I'm not gonna run off on my own!" The others were shocked at what he said.

"Very well. Colt, Falco's your responsibility." Eren said, and Colt nodded.

In the dungeon, the Military Police and the Garrison were still locked up. "Open up! What's going on out there?! I refuse to die here!"

"It must have been a Marley attack... just as Eren Yeager predicted..." Commander Nile said with a frown. "I doubt I'll see my wife or daughters again. With one scream from Eren, I'll become a monster. There's so much I wanted to tell my girls, too. I might as well be dead."

"Hey, stop!" A cadet corp member was stopping Jean and Armin from approaching the cells. Then he recognized the soldiers and bowed, "Sir."

"Open up all the cells!" Jean said, "That's the order from the King!"

After opening all the cells, the Military and the Garrison were now out. Armin found Pyxis and asked, "Commander Pyxis! You're okay?"

"I haven't lost my marbles yet." Pyxis said. "Though I do have a little drinking problem."

This caused everyone to frown, and after a while, all of the soldiers were gathered. "Listen up, folks! We only have a limited amount of ODM gear! Give priority to those without black armbands! All those who chugged Eren Yeager's wine, follow me! It's our job to fend off the invaders!"

"Roger!" They all yelled.

After Armin and the others got out of the basement, they were surprised to see what was going on. Paradis was on the winning side, but Marley was still struggling.

Reiner was still trying to get close to Eren, but Mikasa was now in front of him and she was trying to use her blades to kill Reiner. Reiner had to dodge all the attacks and hid before Mikasa could find him.

"Damn it... I couldn't get close to Eren..." Reiner gritted his teeth.

Pieck was with Gabi this whole time, and Gabi noticed the rifle in her hand and asked, "What was that?"

"An Anti-Titan rifle. Though it's a tough kill without hitting the nape dead-on." Pieck said while looking outside. 

"The city's in flames. There's nowhere to run." They quickly dodge after hearing the voices of the Military Police. "What?! We're here to fight!"

While they were hiding, Gabi kneeled to the ground and muttered, "There weren't any devils. On the island... there were just people. I finally understand Reiner. We just decided that these people we never met were devils. Doing the same things...! The same things, over and over!"

Gabi started to cry, and she muttered, "I drag Falco into it... Colt, Gloria, and Falco... they knew all of it and they switched sides with them... Why were we still fighting? When the King and the Queen cared about Eldians like us?"

Pieck frowned, "You were right about that... Eren also said that he brought my father to this island to protect him... And I was still standing as his enemy as well..."

When Mikasa and Eren were still fighting Reiner and Galliard at the same time, suddenly, a cannon shot hit Zeke, causing him to cough blood and fell to the ground.

"Big Brother!" Eren gasped in shock as he rushed towards him. Hange was by his side and she said, "His breathing was low. I don't think he will make it..."

Memories of his family's death flashed in his mind, and he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Unforgivable..."

"Ereh?" Mikasa asked with confusion, and he charged at Galliard, giving him punches.

"Galliard!" Reiner yelled, but just as Eren was about to take another punch, he was shot by the head by the cannon shot by Magath.

"We shot the Founder!" "It has stopped moving!"

Armin and Jean noticed the Armored Tank and Armin said, "That Tank was the big problem! We must do something about it first!"

Mikasa threw a Thunder Spear at the window, and then Hange checked Eren and said, "Good, his head was still intact. They almost caused the Rumbling."

Armin and Jean also arrived and they were shocked to see what's going on. Sasha as the Beast Titan was still fighting Reiner, while the others were taking care of Zeke and Eren. Jean asked, "What happened to Eren?"

"He was shot in the head. But at least it was still intact. We just need to wait for it to heal." Hange said.

After a while, Eren started to open his eyes, he slowly stood up and Reiner, who was still dodging the attacks from Sasha, muttered, "Galliard, wake up!"

Eren was now on his feet and said, "Prepare... I will now summon the Titans."

"Eren! No!" Armin tried to stop, but Eren already let out a roar, and just then, those who drank the wine started to glow, and beams of light appeared and all of them have become Titans.

"What the..." "Did our enemies... turned into Titans?" "Hey! Get the anti-Titan rifle--"

But it was too late, the soldiers were being eaten, and the Titans were roaming around. Eren fell to the floor again and muttered, "Go get them..."

As the Titans were rushing to the Marley Soldiers, Sasha quickly left her Titan body and left Reiner and the others to the Titans.

Sasha yelled, "What the hell, Eren?"

Mikasa said, "He was shot and wasn't in his right mind. Zeke was barely alive and that also caused him to go over the edge and be blinded by rage..."

Eren muttered, "Tell the others to return to human forms and retreat... the Titans should have finished them."

After Hange left to call the others, at same time, Magath was aiming at Eren. "To think he'd done something unnecessary. However, you have no need for a head. Give us your spinal fluid!"

But then, Armin managed to fire a Thunder Spear at the armored train, and causing Magath to fall off.

"Shot him down!" Mikasa also appeared and killed the other soldiers. 

Eren was still struggling to get up, then he yelled, "All soldiers retreat for now!"

Then they all tried to fall back, Reiner wanted to chase them, but he was already stopped by a Titan who was in front of him.

"Damn, it... is it the end for me? Maybe it is better... for all the crimes that I did..."

Just then, before the Titan could grab Reiner, he was pushed out of the way by Galliard. 

"I'm not going down for nothing." Galliard said, "Colt told me everything... my brother went all his way to trick the army so they made a loser like you a Warrior... to protect me."

"Porco!" Reiner yelled as Galliard was now in the palm of the Titan.

"Now it's clear, right? That I've always been better than you until the end." And then Porco was eaten. Pieck and Gabi also saw it and they were horrified.

"Mr. Galliard?" Gabi muttered.

Reiner let out a roar as he charged at Eren and the troops, who were trying to escape. 

"EREN!" Eren noticed that Reiner was charging at him, but Mikasa threw a Thunder Spear in front of him to make him take a step back.

But as they continued to run, Eren looked to the side, surprised to see Gabi, holding a rifle, with tears in her eyes, shooting at his head. 

Eren widened his eyes, before feeling his head leaving his body and flying into the air. Everyone gasps in surprise and horror at what is about to happen. 

When Eren's head fell to the floor, the body also limped forward to the ground. "EREH!"

Just then, the body started to glow, and it suddenly disappeared, the 104th corps (except for Reiner), Historia, Levi, and Hange were teleported to the paths.

Eren was now trapped in a glass coffin, and his arms, legs, forehead, and stomach were bound by chains.

Everyone rushed to Eren and they were trying to open the glass coffin, but it won't budge. Eren said, "The thing that we dreaded the most has happened. My head was being shot off... The Rumbling is happening."

"We failed to avoid the Rumbling... now the Titans in the walls are going to trample the world..." Sasha frowned.

"I can stop the Rumbling, however, my state forbade me from using the power of the Founding Titan... you need to find the seven keys to unlock the locks on myself to free me."

"Where are we going to find the keys?" Armin asked.

"I don't know, you will need to search your former shifter memories to find out where they are." Eren said. "Founder Ymir will try to fix my body in the real world, but you will need to gather the seven keys as fast as you can. Time is also running short, and once the Rumbling is fully complete, I will also be dead as well."

"No! I can't lose you!" Historia says with tears forming in her eyes, Hange says, "So we just need to get the seven keys before the Rumbling kills every life outside of the island. And that will also save our king as well."

Eren nodded and said, "The world is counting on you. Founder Ymir transported my body to Reiss Farm, so if you gathered all seven keys, you will know where to find me."

And then, a white glow appeared and blinded everyone.

Here is a new chapter, and I hope you like this chapter. The next chapter is the beginning of the Rumbling.
