Chapter 1: Exile into forbidden land.

"Eren Yeager, Armin Arlert and Mikasa Ackerman, I have come to a decision. Eren Yeager and Armin Arlert, step forward."

The only sound in the court room was those of four feet taking a step forward and chains rattling. All Mikasa could do was watch as her adoptive brother and friend were called forward.

"Cadet Arlert- you have suggested that we can use Eren Yeager's titan abilities to win our war against the titans. But, this court has come to a decision to reject your request. You will be exiled as well as Eren Yeager here for betraying the human race." At that moment, Armin could practically feel Eren boil with rage beside him as Zackley addressed Mikasa to step forward.

"Mikasa Ackerman, top model cadet with the highest rank in your group- impressive. I have decided that your skills would be used against the titans and help us win this war; therefore, you will not be exiled with cadets Eren Yeager and Armin Arlert. You are to join the Survey Corps and serve humanity well. "

Mikasa was about to protest but Armin caught her eye before she could say anything.

"Don't..." he mouthed at her, pushing his desires to fight back away.

She clenched her fists so tight that her knuckles became white. Nevertheless, she saluted to Zackley.

"Now," the grey haired man continued. "Eren Yeager and Armin Arlert. I hereby state that you are banished outside, where you will spend the rest of your lives." A tear ran down Armin's cheek, but he refused to let the others fall.

He swore to himself that he would be a man through this- not just for himself, but for Eren and Mikasa as well. He promised that he would be strong for them- strong for his family, strong for himself.

It was barely a second before Armin himself was cuffed and roughly pushed outside and onto a wagon alongside Eren, who for some reason was quiet and not saying a word. His eyes were half shut, as if he were in a sleep-like coma.

The ride to the east gate was long and rough. By the time they got there, there was already a crowd of people at the outside gate. Among the crowd were the faces of their friends- Jean stood with Connie by his side and Mikasa on the other with Sasha behind her and some others were scattered about. Everybody was looking at them now.

'I wonder what my grandfather would think of me right now.' Armin thought numbly.

Two Millitary Policemen came and pulled the two scared boys off of the wagon and to the gate, taking off the chains and roughly pushing them forward to walk. Armin looked back at his friends again. Mikasa, for the first time in years, had tears coming down her face, silently crying for her beloved brother and friend. When the blonde 14 year old turned back to the gate, he saw Eren almost to the end of the tunnel, looking nearly half-dead.

Frantically, he ran after Eren. That day, together, they walked into the land of the forbidden.
