Sorry for the inactivity. I really am.

I don't own fairy tail or attack on Titan or the characters.

Lucy's pov...

I laid on my side on the rooftop, propping my body up with my arms. Natsu came to help me. I saw Annie fall after Mikasa sliced off her other fingers. She fell and Eren attacked again.

Eren ripped her arm and head right off and..

Went to go bite her neck?? He's going for the kill!!

"Wait Eren don't!" I yelled.

"Eren!" Mikasa yelled.

Everyone pleaded him to stop, but we couldn't get to him. But when Annie was revealed after Eren ripped off a piece of flesh, he stopped. But then, Annie started to encase herself in her indestructible crystal, and was merging her Titan body to Eren's. I tried to get up to help Eren but toppled over a bit, Notsu caught me.

"No. Stop it Luce, take it easy." Natsu said.

"Yeah..sorry." I said and smiled. Natsu smiled back.

Mikasa headed towards Eren but Levi was able to get there first. He cut Eren out of the Titan body.

"Don't go eating out key evidence, you idiot." Levi said blankly.

Once everything settled, only the Titans' bones were left, and Annie was encased in indestructible crystal. When Eren came to, he asked where Annie was, and he was shown the large crystal that Jean was trying to cut with his blade. Jean was yelling at her and Levi told him to calm down. Natsu and I flew down to everyone else and walked towards the giant crystal.

"Hmmm..." I heard Natsu as thought "can I burn it?!" He said with a giant grin.

"No!" I said. "No magic" I whispered.

"Ugh, right.." Natsu rolled his eyes.

Everyone started to pack up and leave. I looked to see Levi walk towards commander Erein who was...in hand cuffs.

"Seems the plan wasn't much of a success." Levi said, still with a blank face.

"No, I'd say the survey corps' in the clear now. Just barely." Erwin said.

"Let's hope so." Levi replied.

We all packed up and left. Annie was brought underground, and Erwin...was on trial. Eren was sleeping and recovering from the fight. Jean, Mikasa, Armin, Wendy and I all waited in his room.

Mikasa, sitting right at he side of his bed. Armin standing not to far away. And Jean was leaning against the wall. Wendy and I were seated on a couch on the other side of the room.

"Eren." Mikasa said when he woke up. "Do you feel alright?

"Yeah...it's weird how normal I feel." Eren said as he sat up in bed. "I guess Annie's still stuck in there?"

"Yeah" Mikasa said.

"Damn...that big of an operation, all for nothin'" Jean said.

"Annie went that far to keep her information safe." Armin said.

"Yeah. She slipped right through our fingers." Jean said.

"Eren let her get away." I said without thinking.

Eren, Jean and Wendy looked at me a bit shocked. Mikasa knew it was true and looked down, and Armin also agreed.

"Isn't that right, Eren?" I asked.

"Yeah...if it hadn't been for that brief moment..." Armin said.

"Yeah..it's true." Eren admitted. "I screwed up. I froze as soon as I saw her."

Suddenly, a soldier came and stood in the doorway. He called up Jean and Armin for debriefing.

"Right." Armin said.

"Guess we're up first." Jean said.

"See you later, then." Armin walked out.

"yeah..." Eren said quietly.

Jean followed Armin out the door, glancing at Eren and Mikasa before leaving.

"Come on Wendy. Let's give them some privacy." I said quietly as I stood up.

"Ok." Wendy stood up as well.

We walked out and met with Natsu in the hall. He was sitting against the wall.

"Hey Natsu." I said as I sat down next to him.

"hi.." Natsu seemed to be thinking.

"What're you thinking about?" Wendy asked.

He sighed.

"Well one of us really could have dies back there..." Natsu said.

"yeah.." I nodded sadly.

"If only I could use my m-" Natsu clenched his fist.

Lucy covered his mouth before he could finish the sentence.

"Shh. Someone could here you." I said quietly. "but trust me, I wish we could use it too. We've yet to plant the flower that Erza told us about...and we aren't allowed to do it until Erwin says we can. I hear it can get really big, so we can't just sneakily plant it either."

"I just want to go home.." Wendy said quietly.

"Everyone does.." I said sadly.

Mikasa and Eren...

"It actually felt nice..." Eren said.

Mikasa was taken back by the statement.

"Having my body come apart somehow felt...refreshing. So much so, that I felt like I wanted to die." Eren continued to explain.

"Eren!" Mikasa said.

"I don't want to now." Eren assured.

Mikasa grabbed his hand and looked down.

"I'm glad...that you came back..." Mikasa said.

On Jean and Armin's way to debriefing.

"It's too much for me to understand. Abandoning your humanity to rise above monsters... That's the only way to win, huh?" Jean asked.

"It's the one hope of humankind has for prevailing over the titans. I think Eren can do it." Armin said

"I wonder...getting rid of the titans by becoming that kind of monster...would that really be a victory for humankind?" Jean said.

Armin remained silent While thinking.

With Natsu, Lucy and Wendy..

"I hope Carla and Happy have been ok. It sucks that they can't be seen." Wendy said.

"Yeah. I don't get why we can't just show our magic though." Natsu said.

"Because everyone in this world would be super confused, and probably interogate us until we die! They'd probably force us to kill the titans, even though that's kind of what Erwin's doing to us now," I mumbled the last part. "And if they found Happy and/or Carla, they'd probably want to disect one of them to satisfy their curiosity. So if they found out we had magical abilities, they'll run tests on us, make us tell them anything and everything, and maybe even refuse to let us go home until we help them. Now, do you want that?" I said.

Wendy and Natsu looked shocked and shook their heads no.

"Didn't think so." I said.

I think I'm ending the story. This is short as heck, and it's not fair to any of you, but I haven't worked on it in so long I've lost interest in it and I don't want to keep any of you waiting. A lot of you may have lost interest too. So I won't delete it for another while, but I won't be posting anymore either. If you want to write your own ending, or rewrite everything using this storyline, please feel free too. It'd make me happy to know someone likes it enough to continue it. - Sorry again, and I might start writing again eventually. Until then, best wishes. Cya
