Prisoner

Javelin's POV

"It's been long Riku." said Eren

I was forced to sit on a chair in front of Eren who had his back on me.

"Where's my daughter?" I growled

"In an orphanage." replied Eren

"I'll kill you for what you did to her." I said

"You're on the wrong side." said Eren

"I don't care whether or not I'm on your side, you hurt my daughter and that's a good reason to kill you." I said

My blood was boiling hot from just looking at Eren.

"You left me no choice." said Eren

"No choice? You're out of you fucking mind." I snapped

"I'm in my right mind set." replied Eren

Eren turned around and gave me a cup of water.

"You must be thirsty." said Eren

I looked at the cup and raised an eyebrow.

"You think I put poison inside?" asked Eren

I grabbed the cup and instead of drinking it I splashed the water on Eren's face. Eren closed his eyes and wiped the water off his face.

"Prick." he growled

And in one swift kick he knocks me off the chair. He kicked me so hard that I blacked out for a second, I don't remember Eren being this strong. I groaned as I blinked a couple times in pain, my head spinning from the amount of pain.

"You're the same, never grateful." said Eren

He kicked my stomach and I slid across the floor and I struggled to breathe. But I gathered all of my strength and got up but before I could do anything Eren grabbed my neck and pinned me on the wall and lifted me up. He squeezed his fingers, choking me, I tried kicking him but he shot a gun and a string tied my legs together and onto the wall.

"You need to learn how to be grateful." said Eren

I struggled to breathe so I grabbed his wrist and tried to twist it, trying to pry away. But Eren threw me across the room and I crashed onto his desk. I coughed several times before taking my time on the floor catching my breath. I looked at my legs and saw that it was just a string, I could have easily ripped the string apart.

"Take her away." said Eren to the MPs outside his room.

Annie's POV

It's been 20 minutes and I was getting worried for Ellie.

"Ellie's in grave danger, you saw what Eren did." said Jean

"Eren, he doesn't do that." whispered Armin, "But he did, what happened?"

I sighed and closed my eyes but then I heard voices coming down the hallway and I gasped when I saw two MPs holding onto Riku with another MP behind them pointing a gun at her.

"Riku!" everyone shouted inside the jail with me

They opened the door and shoved her inside.

"Riku what the hell how did you get caught?" asked Connie

"Do you really think I'd get myself caught? I turned myself in." replied Riku

She rubbed the side of her face.

"I don't remember Eren being that strong, he's almost as equal as Marksman." said Riku

"Riku I'm sorry about Ellie I couldn't do anything." I apologized

"It's fine there was nothing you can do, she's okay. Well I hope she is." replied Riku

"Are we going to receive help?" asked Jean

"I don't know, I disabled the the thing that was jamming the signal but the Scouts are probably fixing it so I don't know if my team was able to contact them." replied Riku

That's when I saw Riku make eye contact with Ymir and immediately Riku's facial expression saddened.

"Ymir I..." whispered Riku

Ymir looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"I know about Bertholdt's death." said Riku, "I'm sorry."

Ymir just looked away.

"I'm sorry for not doing anything." said Riku, "I saw everything."

Ymir's face turned into anger.

"You're saying you could have killed Eren?" asked Ymir

Riku stood there with a blank expression.

"Yes I could have." replied Riku

Ymir tried to lunge towards Riku but Sasha and Mikasa held her.

"Why didn't you?" snapped Ymir

"Because of Annie." replied Riku

"Annie? Since when did you care about other people's feelings?" snapped Ymir

"I had a lot of options but they were all too risky, I could have killed Armin if I wanted to, I could have shot Eren but they all had consequences at the end. Eren could have killed you all." said Riku

"You don't know that!" yelled Ymir

"Yes I don't so I made the decision to not do anything." said Riku

"What is fucking wrong with you!" yelled Ymir

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do." said Riku

Ymir grit her teeth in pain and backed up pulling away from Sasha and Mikasa.

"Bertholdt deserved so much fucking better." cried Ymir

Riku just looked away.

"So we're still stuck here." said Connie

"Let's hope my team was able to contact them." sighed Riku

Kit's POV

"What's wrong?" asked Ajax

"It's the IMT, there's been a huge amount of activity." said Hacker, "Every outpost where the IMT's located are moving."

"Do you know why?" asked Ajax

"No not at all." replied Marksman

Ajax studied the giant screen showing the map of the world with giant red dots in countries marking the IMTs.

"It looks like they're converging on India." said Ajax

"I said the same but there's nothing in India." said Bomber

"Not unless they're all trying to move somewhere." implied Ajax

But then I started getting a call from someone on my cell phone. I tossed my phone to Hacker and he quickly plugged it onto the speaker before answering it.

"Hello?" I asked through this microphone

"Captain Kit it's Alpha 1-2, I was placed to assist Lieutenant Javelin." replied a voice

My eye's widened.

"Where's Javelin? Is she okay? How are you able to contact me from Eldia?" I asked

"I don't have that much time, Alpha 1-3 was able to disable the jammer but the Eldians might be fixing it." replied Alpha 1-2

"What about Javelin?" I asked

"She turned herself in." replied Alpha 1-2

My heart started beating fast.

"Why?! Why didn't you stop her?!" I yelled

"Eren Jaeger shot your daughter sir." replied Alpha 1-2

My eyes widened and tears began to well up in my eyes.

"In the leg sir, she's fine I'm sure of it but she was used as a hostage so that Javelin can turn herself in." replied Alpha 1-2

My heart calmed down but I was still worried.

"So where's Javelin?" asked Ajax

"Who's this?" asked Alpha 1-2

"Your commanding officer, Colonel Ghost." I replied

"Oh sorry sir, but right now she's being held in a prison in Shiganshina." replied Alpha 1-2, "But sir we do have some problems."

"What is it?" asked Ajax

"There was a new drink released called the Swine, but it had Zeke's spinal fluid in it." said Alpha 1-2

"What?" gasped Hacker

"So everyone who consumed it are being held in prison." said Alpha 1-2

"How is Eren not responsible?" I asked

"I don't know the exact reason but Captain Levi and Commander Hange are MIA after chasing Zeke." replied Alpha 1-2

Ajax just rubbed his eyes in frustration.

"Oh and sir." said Alpha 1-2, "Bertholdt's dead."

My eyes widened and I nearly broke the mic in my hand.

"Eren fed him to Armin. Armin is now the Colossal Titan." said Alpha 1-2

Ajax's clenched his fist and I saw anger in his eyes.

"Alpha 1-2, what about the kids?" I asked

"They're all fine, in the orphanage." replied Alpha 1-2

Ajax was looking at the screen where the red dots were blinking.

"Maybe destroying the jammer was what the IMT wanted." said Ajax

"Huh?" I questioned

"The IMT now knows that Eldia is in chaos." said Ajax, "They must be planning some kind of attack."

I didn't understand at all.

"We're leaving." said Ajax

"To where sir?" asked Marksman

"To Eldia." he replied

Ghost's POV

I left the control room where Emily was waiting for me.

"How did it go?" she asked

I sighed and shook my head.

"It's a lot worse than I thought." I replied

"What happened?" she asked

"There's a beer that was newly founded called the Swine, apparently it contained Zeke's spinal fluid." I said

"How? What about Eren?" she asked

"We don't have the details, but Eren shot Ellie in the leg because Riku wouldn't surrender." I replied

Emily's eyes widened.

"Is Ellie fine? What happened to Riku? What about our kids?" she asked

"Ellie's fine so are our kids but Riku turned herself over." I replied

"But something in your eyes is telling that something big happened." said Emily

I looked at her and closed my eyes before responding.

"Bertholdt's dead." I whispered, "Fed to Armin."

Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath before letting out a sigh.

"We're leaving." I said

"Huh?" questioned Emily

But before I could reply she understood what I meant.

"It's been too long since I've been on the field." she said

The rest of the Ghost team came out of the control room.

"So, should I contact Malvik and Tessa?" asked Marksman

I nodded in response.

"No need."

I saw Tessa and Malvik walking up to us.

"We heard, Alpha 1-2 contacted us as well." said Tessa

We all stood in a circle looking at one another.

"So what's our main objective?" asked Hacker

"We make our way to Eldia for now, we'll figure out what to do from there." I replied, "Get Sentinel and Bounty Hunters ready."

Everyone nodded so we all entered our old locker room.

"Damn it's been 10 years since I set foot inside here." said Emily

I went to my locker, unlocked it and opened it to see my ghost mask sitting there. I grabbed it and looked at it before I sighed.

"I think it's time for us to tell Keegan and Emma." I said

"I agree." she replied

I began to change, taking out my mom's gun from my civilian holster, taking off my clothes and putting on my black combat uniform, then put on the metallic vest. I put on my belt and began to put on knee pads with elbow pads, then I put on my forearm hologram watch. I wrapped my pistol holster around my right leg and put my mom's pistol into my holster.

I went to the desk and began loading some mags with .10 bolts into it and put the mags into my vest pockets. I grabbed my silver stake tactical assault rifle and put in a mag, I grabbed my combat knife from my locker and put it into my knife holster on my left shoulder.

"What should we do about Eren sir?" asked Bomber

"We'll see about that later." I replied

"I tried contacting Eldia but they fixed their jammer." said Hacker, "Well it's technically not a jammer."

"Then we must hurry." said Marksman

I nodded so I grabbed my gear and headed out towards the main docking area. There were a bunch of other Sentinel units boarding newly made helicopters but these were called vultures. They had two giant propellers that were covered like how a fan is covered on the top with one sticking out on each side. It had a model of the helicopter but it was wider and it didn't have a tail propeller. It also had a machine gun on the front tip of the vulture and eight missiles on each side with two other machine guns on each side. It's able to fit 20 people inside, an impressive amount of weight it can carry for a long period of time.

"Do we have permission to do this?" asked Kit

"There's no turning back now." I replied

I looked at my gloves and just sighed.

"Is something wrong?" asked Phantom

"I just don't know what to say to Keegan and Emma." I replied, "Would Keegan understand?"

"He will understand." said Phantom

"I hope they will." I said, "Cause if they don't then, I don't know."

"If they don't then we're just going to live with a secret." replied Phantom, "Either way both options will have a consequence."

"I know." I replied

I looked at my mask and put it on then my helmet.

"Either way I'm getting them out of there no matter what." I said
