Misa stood with their bag of titan serum slightly away from her uncle and cousin as he tried to convince her to eat Eren and reclaim the Founding Titan.

It was useless.

Historia knew the truth, that retaking the Founding Titan at this point would be detrimental to their survival.

She, as well as her fellow espers were under no delusions. They were incredibly lucky the rest of the world hadn't bombed them yet. Using their world's history as a base they'd attempted to determine a rough date. Muskets died out in the mid to late 1800s, add on around a hundred years and that put the rest of the world somewhere within the 1900s. Then given the fact they hadn't been bombed put them before 1940.

How much before no one wanted to say, but they needed to do something now before it was too late.

Obtaining both the Colossal and Armored titan powers had been a boon despite the consequences. Marley had lost 4 titan powers and they currently didn't even know it. That didn't mean she wasn't worried however. Idiot Mikoto had released the Beast Titan Shifter though she could understand why. They could not do everything on their own. They were on an island, with limited man power and weapons far inferior to the rest of the world. They needed outside support and if Zeke Jaeger was genuine, perfect. If he wasn't then she was going to have to come up with contingency plans.

After they'd sorted all this out.

She blinked bewildered as Historia threw Rod Reiss, a man both larger and far heavier than her to the ground, before bursting out laughing.

"I think you just got told uncle," she giggled as Historia quickly made her way to her side.

"Misa you-" growled Rod but was interrupted when Zuri landed near them.

"The Military Police are dead and Accelerator and Railgun followed through with your request. They're on their way."

"Excellent," she smiled as Rod slowly got to his feet.

"Misa, you brought them here!"

"I did."

"You traitor!"

"A matter of perspective dear uncle. I can't betray someone whose side I have never been on."

"Why you!" he charged only to get shot in the leg by Zuri. He tumbled to the ground, screaming in pain and clutching his injured leg.

"Here, I'm sure your friend has had enough of being chained up," she said holding out the keys to her cousin.

"Ah, right!" she grabbed them and rushed up the crystalline steps and began undoing Eren's chains.

She'd just managed to get the last one when her colleagues landed.

"Misa," nodded Accel walking in front. With him were the other espers, Kenny and Mikoto's sister, Mikasa if she remembered correctly.

"You sure took your time."

"We ended up bringing a load of people who'd never killed before, watching out for them slowed us down somewhat."

"Misa what the fuck is going on!" demanded Kenny.

"Kenny, my father trusted you so implicitly that he asked you to watch over me when he died. Yet you've also been doing my uncle's bidding, so what is it you believe he can give you?"

"What makes you think I wanted something from him?"

"You wouldn't have followed his orders otherwise."

"Tsk. None of your business."

"You right, but it's in your best interest. If you don't give me an answer then..." she trailed off, her fellow espers getting the message and pointing their weapons at him.

"You kids drive a hard bargain. Fine. I wanted to know if I ate the Founding Titan would I become peace loving like Uri and Freida. Ya happy now!" Kenny growled.

Misa nodded, "Members of the Ackerman clan cannot be turned into titans and cannot become titan shifters. Also it's not the titan power that made them peace loving, it's what they saw when they obtained it."

"Wha's that s'possed to mean?"

"We are Eldian's and when an Eldian with royal blood obtains the Founding Titan they see the memories of the past holders. They see the tyranny our ancestors subjected the world too. The death and destruction the Titan powers caused. They became peace loving worshippers because they fell responsible even though they shouldn't."

"Fuck!" cursed Kenny.

"How do you know that?!" demanded Rod, "The First King's will prevented both Uri and Freida from speaking of these events."

"Precisely uncle. They were prevented from telling anyone about it, but father didn't tell me."

"Then how?!"

"I told father to write the information down then hide it with something of mine, and leave the location of that something in his will. Everything has loopholes, you just need to figure out how to exploit them. Honestly I'm quite disappointed in father, Freida and their predecessors, they all knew the truth and all did nothing. My father only provided me with information once I gave him a way around King Fritz's will."

"Why?! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Why should I have? All you did was go around impregnating women. Kenny, everything you know about the outside world is false. We are not the last humans, quite the opposite in fact. We, as in the people inside the walls are the worlds scapegoat."

"Scapegoat?"

"Yes. The rest of the world blames the people of Paradis Island for the horrors our ancestors subjected the world too. We refuse to be held responsible for the sins of our ancestors, and we refuse to wait silently for the nation of Marley to kill us. Because that's what will happen if we don't do anything. We're on borrowed time, have limited man power, and inferior weapons thanks to the will of all kings for the past century. Really we need all the help we can get," she held out her hand, "Join us Kenny and we will either change our fate or die trying."

"If I refuse?"

The weapons that had been lowered were back being pointed at him.

"Right. What the hell, sounds like fun."

"5th," called Accel and she turned towards him, "3rd rate promised our siblings we'd tell them the truth about us once we were all together."

She sighed loudly, but only for appearances sake. She didn't actually blame Mikoto for that. Given what had already happened their family's undoubtedly had lots of unanswered questions about them. Like how they knew each other when it was impossible from them to have met, etc. Not telling them at this point simply wasn't an option, it would only serve in pushing them away. She knew the others understood that as well, they were probably just annoyed she'd acted without consulting them first.

"I see you haven't changed, still the same meathead you always were."

She turned, hiding her amusement as a tick mark appeared on Mikoto's forehead.

"Who're you calling a meathead!"

"Why I thought that was obvious."

"Are you trying to start a fight?!"

"Now that would be far too difficult, and besides we still have a party to crash," she smiled walking to the exit. "Oh and someone bring the trash!" she called gesturing to Rod.

"Not it!" called Mikoto which was quickly chorused by the rest of the Espers, leaving only Kenny.

"Fucking brats," he cursed grabbing Rod and following them back towards the exit.

It didn't take very long to walk back through the cavern and meet up with the rest of the assault force waiting outside.

"Are we done?" growled Levi clearly annoyed at having been forced to babysit his previously vomiting squad.

"We're done," confirmed Accel grabbing his horse and mounting up.

The rest of the squad took that as their cue and mounted up as well, leaving Misa, Historia, Eren, Kenny and Rod to get in the carriage and Teit jumped in the drivers seat.

Not a moment later they were galloping towards Mitras district.

Arriving was interesting.

Apparently the whole Scout Regiment was under arrest for refusing to hand Eren to the government, which was quite amusing.

Unfortunately for the guards they could not deny that a group of Scouts including Eren Jaeger were being escorted to the capital by Misa Reiss and 3 Interior Military Police soldiers. Even if they were dragging a restrained and injured Rod Reiss. So they were kind of forced to let them in.

But it was as they were walking through the palace that the most interesting thing happened.

They encountered Commander in Chief Darius Zackly and a platoon of his own personal soldiers in the middle of the hallway.

They stared at each other for a moment before Anka from the Garrison rounded the corner and nodded determinedly.

"Let's go," said Zackly and he and the platoon marched the way Anka had come.

"What's going on?" asked Accel allowing the woman to take them in along with the 3 Interior Military Police members and the form of Rod Reiss, tied up, gagged and bleeding through the crude bandage on his leg.

"The-The monarchy is being arrested along with the Interior Military Police," she swallowed.

"Really? That was easier than I anticipated," said Misa as everyone shared her sentiments.

"I'm sorry but who..."

"I'm Misa Reiss, or Misa Fritz if you prefer."

Anka's eyes widened, "Then your..."

"The daughter of the previous king Uri Reiss and the niece of the current king Rod Reiss, who as you can see has also been placed under arrest. Kenny, Zuri and Etsu are my spies, and we've been collaborating with Accel Ackerman, Mikoto Ackerman, Teit Zacharias and Gunha Hanji of the Scout Regiment to preform this coup. Now if you'll excuse us, I need to see the horror on the monarchy's faces firsthand."

With that they continued on to the throne room.

"...I declared to you in earnest that the Garrison Regiment is not aligned with the Survey Corps," came Pixis voice travelling through the open door into the throne room, and Misa held her hand up signalling for everyone to halt and listen. "But I forgot to mention something else. We are not aligned with your assembly either. That's right. Although I agree with Erwin on several points, I was still willing to put my trust in your government. So long as you could prove yourselves to be the better choice for humanity. Because you have knowledge that we don't about both the titans and the walls. Had you shown that you actually gave a damn about the people you govern, then I would've stood by and watched you send Erwin to the gallows. In fact depending on the choice you made all of us were prepared to forfeit our lives. However you've made it clear our suspicions are correct. It's true we soldiers know next to nothing about the titans and their powers, but I dare say that despite this fact humanity is safer in our hands."

"What!" cried and unknown male, "Don't be such a fool! Just what do you expect to accomplish by threatening us?! You'll fail! The people will never obey you! The monarchy has ruled for over 100 years! You would never gain the support of the nobles!"

"You seem to be mistaken about something minister," interrupted Misa as they entered the room. "This is no mere threat. This is a Coup D'État!"
