Now everyone was prepared to leave, and Sasha was now talking to her family along with the others. Nicolo said, "I think I'll stay under Mr. Braus' care for now."

"All right. You all should hurry and leave this place, too." Sasha said.

Kayla turned to Gabi and said, "Mia. Be well."

"My real name is Gabi." Gabi replied.

"Eh? But Gabi sounds weird. I like Mia more." Kayla said, causing Gabi to gasp. The others coughed a little as they were trying not to laugh. Gabi then hugged Kayla and said, "Take care."

"Goodbye, Gabi." Kayla said.

While they were walking, Floch muttered, "But still, we survived that hell four years ago and finally have this moment..."

"If we don't stop the Rumbling, Eren will die, and we're not going to let that happen." Mikasa said.

"Yeah, I have to admit, I really wanted to go back to how we used to be..." Jean muttered. "Because of that bastard..."

"Indeed. After everything, I could hop into bed and sleep around two days straight..." Armin added. "But we still have a lot of work to do..."

"You're right. We really have a lot of work to do." They turned to see Historia with the coffin by her side. Sasha asked, "Your Highness! What are you doing here?"

"I'm coming with you." Historia said. "Eren is my husband and I'm not going to let him die."

"But if you come with us, what about the island?" Onyankopon asked.

"Don't worry, Hitch and the other Military Police could help me deal with it." Historia said. "I was also a part of the Scouts, so I'm going to come along."

"But you're also pregnant! It doesn't matter if you used to be a Scout or not, you had a baby in your body!"

"I know it might be a risk, but saving Eren is more important to me right now."

Everyone frowned as they couldn't stop the queen, they reluctantly let her join in. "But are you sure you're going to bring Eren's body with you?"

"Of course, it would be much more quicker if we could just unlock him right on the spot." Historia said.

"Fair enough. So what is our next action, Commander Hange?" Gloria turned to the commander, who was still frowning.

"She's still not over with Pyxis and the other comrades' death?" Louise asked after seeing the state of the commander.

"Our original plan was that after the pure Titans killed the Marley military, Eren was going to return them to normal. None of us had predicted that Eren's head would be off at that moment..." Zeke said.

"If Commander Erwin were here, I'm sure he would make sure that Eren's head wouldn't be off his body..." Armin lowered his head. "The answer is clear now. I shouldn't have been the one to come back..."

Annie said, "You're still saying that? You have to remember that your family is the Royal Family of Colossal Titan. What you did is get your family's power back."

Hange stood back up and said, "I'm fine now. Right now we should head to the port, the Azumabitos were probably there. We will need their help."

The others nodded as they head off to the port as soon as possible.

At the same time, Pieck managed to find the injured Magath. "General Magath?" Pieck asked.

"Oh, it's you." Magath said. "Where are the other soldiers?"

"All of them were dead, they were killed by the Pure Titans." Pieck frowned, "All of our airships were also destroyed, it seemed we were the only survivors."

Magath gritted his teeth and said, "I see..." He looked at the Rumbling and said, "We still need to find a way to let the rest of the nation know about the situation as fast as possible... We can't just wait for those things to crush us all..."

"But now there's nothing more we can do. Do you have any plans on stopping them?" Pieck asked.

"No, but we'll keep our pathetic struggle till the end." Magath said.

Just then, they heard some noises and they decided to check out what was going on. It turned out that Hange and the others were setting up a camp nearby. The camp also includes Gabi, Falco, and the other Titan shifters.

"We brought him here." Colt, Gloria, and Levi dragged Reiner as he kneeled in front of the others. Reiner was a little terrified after seeing his enemies staring at him.

Historia said, "We have no time, so I'll say this once, Reiner. If you want to stop the Rumbling, you're going to help us save Eren."

"Save... Eren? What happened?" Reiner asked. He was a little happy to see Historia again, but she was acting not like the Krista that he knew. And with the big belly she had, he was frowning again.

"The Rumbling wouldn't happen if Eren's head was attached to his body. You Marleyian Military had to use your weapons to shoot his head off, don't you?" Connie grabbed his collar and said.

Reiner widened his eyes and asked, "So that meant Eren was dead?"

"He is as good as being dead." Zeke said. "However, before the Rumbling flattened the whole earth, if we managed to save Eren, then he would stop the Rumbling the moment he was revived."

Gabi said, "Reiner, Eren Yeager's body was locked by seven locks, if only we got the seven keys to unlock his body, he could use his Titan healing to heal himself."

"Then where are the seven keys?" Reiner asked after noticing the coffin that Eren was lying in.

"Located outside the island, each of the Titan shifters here had the vision of the location of the keys, however, there were a lot of problems." Colt said.

"First, we only had visions, not the actual map location, and second, even if we managed to find where they are, those who despise Eldians would definitely not let us do as we please because we are the filthy island of devils." Annie muttered.

"That's why we need as many people as possible." Armin said, "So Reiner, you're going to help us no matter what, but I still want to know, if you weren't forced, are you willing to help us?"

Reiner showed determination and said, "Of course, I'll help you out."

Then Hange was now making stew as the others were making strategic plans. Sasha heard something and said, "There is someone hiding in that bushes!"

Floch and Louise quickly took the guns and try to shoot at whoever was behind the bush, although none of the bullets hit, they were surprised to see who came out of the bushes.

"Commander Magath? Pieck?" Colt gasped.

"To think you are still alive..." Annie said.

"Wait, we're not going to fight you." Pieck said. "We might have overheard about your plans, but to save our homeland, we wanted to help."

"And why should we believe in you?" Mikasa asked, still glaring at them. "We were just filthy islands of devils who you wanted to eliminate."

"Stop it, all of you!" Hange yelled, which caused them to flinch. "We should hear them out first."

The others lowered their guns, but they were still glaring at the two people. Magath didn't seem to be fazed as he asked, "So what changed your mind? If you just let Eren Yeager be, you'll attain the world you wished for. A paradise for the island devils. We were so close to stopping him. Had it not been for you guys to help him."

"All this time we are preventing the Rumbling to happen. There was a vow of the Founding Titan that if Eren's head was off his body, the Rumbling would start." Hange said in a calm voice. "We were trying to stop you from doing what you will regret in the end."

"But it doesn't matter, Eren's head was shot off, that's how the Rumbling started. None of us, including Eren Yeager, wished for genocide." Zeke said. "But with Eren's state right now, he couldn't stop the Rumbling, and he would also die when the Rumbling was complete."

Jean said, "Besides, we already heard from the speech of the true Eldian History passed down from generations of the Royal Families. It's true that we could turn into Titans because of our Eldian blood, but we were not devils, to begin with! It was the world that labeled us to be devils! It was the world that forced us to become devils! And all we did was try to survive in this world after King Karl Fritz decided to stop your endless struggle for our Titan power!"

Gloria said, "The world's on the brink of destruction, it was not the result of all of the struggles that we had, but the result of all the selfish desires and hatred of the world outside of this island. If anything, Eren Yeager was just as a victim as all of us are. He gained his father's memories of seeing his aunt being fed to dogs just because she was an Eldian, he also witnessed his mother eaten alive when the wall was breached by YOUR orders. As for his father, he head to steal the Founding Titan and gave it to him, he didn't become the Founding Titan of his free will as well."

"Especially since Eren's father was the leader of the Eldian Restorationists, we also found ancient documents about the past history. The world was never the victim of the Eldian Empire in the first place. When I saw the memory after inheriting the Jaw Titan, I realized that my deceased uncle was right all this time." Colt said.

"Just stop this, guys." Hange said. "An argument over what happened 2000 years ago when you're not even there bores me. The general is perplexed over our existence. To him, we're strange devils who'd abandon our own paradise just to save the very people who tried to eradicate us."

"More like we're doing this to save our King Eren Yeager." Louise muttered.

"We lived in the outside world for several months. We can never go back to being the ignorant island devils." Hange said.

"So what should we do with them? They're still our enemy." Floch asked.

Historia said, "We heard from Pieck herself that she wants to help us. However, the problem here is the General. Assuming that you now know the true history, are you still going to fight against us even though we have all of the other 7 Titans and the weapons we gained from Hizuru?"

Magath frowned after looking at Gabi and Falco, he said, " I want to apologize for my behavior. We were the wrong ones. Even now, I still cowardly tried to justify my own actions. All because I was afraid to reflect on myself and see the despicable side of Marley within me. It's wrong to place the sins of the past on your shoulder just because of your race."

He turned to the Warriors, "Zeke, Pieck, Annie, Reiner, Colt. There's no reason for you to be burdened with this world's hatred, either. But... we do have the responsibility to remember this foolish blood-stained history and pass it to future generations. So long we continue to avert our eyes from our own foolish acts, this hell will never end. That's why, I beg you. Please overlook our foolishness just for now."

Historia closed her eyes and said, "Very well. But first, we need to gather the seven keys to unlock the coffin that contained Eren Yeager. That way he could use his Titan Power to heal himself and stop the Rumbling from happening." She turned to the shifters and said, "Since we have the General from Marley helping us out, please show him your drawings so that we could determine our first goal."

The others nod, as they finally begin the quest to save Eren and the world.

Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Magath, Pieck, and Reiner are going to help save Eren, and Historia is going to come along despite being pregnant. Well, she would basically be staying on the plane wth Eren's coffin. I hope you like this chapter.
