My god!

It was too far long for a chapter update!

I can not tell all of you how much I regret that I refused to finish the chapter and translate it properly.

I guess I just was not centered enough to really sit down and do it despite the desire of all of you that I will continue the story.

I'm not sure when the next update will be but it will be much faster than the last one!

In any case, enjoy the episode and do not forget to respond to me and tell me what you think!.

It was another night after a long day of training, Eren was lying in bed and looked at the ceiling of his room, the room was dark with the moonlight that was shining through the window. 'Another day without any success...' He thought with a sigh, as he tried to control his Titan power but without any success so far. If he wanted to become a better Titan slayer and to help humanity, he needed to get better as he practiced the transformation every day and especially tried to talk with the two girls who were both around him all day long.

"What am I supposed to do?" The brown-haired asked himself again for the seventh time today, on one hand, there was Mikasa which he grew up with and saved her life in the first time they met, and since that time she did not leave his side even when she found out about his power as a Titan Shifter. She was strong, beautiful and someone he could always count on. And the fact that she has kept the scarf he gave her at their first meeting pleased him even if he was not going to admit it to her.

On the other hand was Annie, she was strong just like Mikasa. Not to mention that she was beautiful as well and only showed him who she really is behind her stony face. They were the few moments alone that she always cheered him and gave him courage and even she remained by his side even after she discovered his ability to change to a Titan.

No matter how he tried to think of one of them, the other one always came in his thoughts from the obvious reason that they were very similar, from the cold way they behaved with everyone else and the warm and openly only with him. Their power and the desire to grow stronger and reach their goal, their beauty and their concern for him.

"That doesn't help me at all!" He called out again. "I can't choose between them! It's simply impossible!".

He moved from the bed and came to a sitting position and looked out of his window, the boy saw a flash of light coming from the distant forest as he heard a thunder-like sound despite being very weak "is it going to rain soon?" He looked into the sky but did not see a clouds 'strange...'.

"W-What?! It can't be!" Annie watched in horror at the new form of Mikasa who now stood motionless in front of her. Mikasa's shape was large almost like Reiner's Titan form, her skin was a combination of brown and black and looked more like armor than skin like Annie's form. She was built with a toned body and on her arms was a black coating and nails that looked more like claws than anything else as the same was for her legs, bleak hair in the shape of her normal hair and finally black eyes that were focused on Annie's shape.

'You really are a monster...' Annie thought as she readies herself for her rival who did not move.

Mikasa started moving her head and stretched it as her hands began to move and get used to the feeling that she did not feel for a long time.

'This is the second time someone sees this form of mine, and just like the last time... she will not breathe for very long' Mikasa thought, studying the rival that stood in front of her. She could see that Annie could control herself and showed her experience in her form.

'So you can go to that level eh? well, I shouldn't be surprised at that now' Mikasa thought and readied herself for Annie.

Mikasa looked like she was at the same level as Reiner but Annie doubt that she was weaker than him, 'I'll have to surprise her if I want to defeat her once and for all' Annie thought and prepared a plan to defeat the girl, she launched herself at Mikasa with a powerful thrust to give her more speed and sent a kick to the black-haired head.

The black-haired responded with a kick of her own and stopped Annie from moving as dust and leaves went flying all around from the impact of the two female Titans.

None of them could feel any pain as they let their power erupt without any hindrance. after the blow, Annie moved away from her opponent who refused to give her any moment to breathe or get away and advanced extremely quickly attack her.

Mikasa sent her punch directly to Annie's face, the blonde quickly took the punch itself by grabbing Mikasa's fist and used the momentum to force Mikasa to her back and immediately throws her to the sky.

The black-haired girl was in the air for several seconds and finally landed on her back with a loud crash that shook the area as she Immediately began to get up from the ground before she noticed that Annie changed her tactics and began to attack as soon as she saw her chance. The blonde let her fist fly to her opponent who was still trying to recover from the crash.

Mikasa could see something glinting that covered Annie's fist and warned the black-haired of the attack that was coming and made her put her guard up.

There was a loud sound that echoed through the forest and sounded like as if lightning hit the ground. Annie noticed that her fist stood still and did not move a centimeter.

Annie focused and saw that Mikasa crosses her arms to cut the damage and hold her in place.

Before the blonde girl was able to pull her hand back Mikasa quickly grabbed her hand pulled the blonde to her body and kicked her in the stomach hard.

'Krkrkk!'

The sound of Annie's ribs braking was a clear example of what kind of power Mikasa had as the blond girl crashed into a tree behind her and broke it in half.

'What the hell!? How she could stop me?!' Annie thought worried when her attack failed. Although the blonde girl felt no pain from the damage she suffered, she could tell that some of her ribs were broken under the pressure of the blow and let it heal. 'I'll take a few seconds to return to normal, I'll have to watch it until then!' She began to concentrate the renewal of her rib cage only to speed up the process.

The dark-haired Mikasa stopped for a second and did not attack even with the chance that she created for herself and moved with slow steps to Annie until she finally stood still and waited for the blonde.

'What are you thinking? Why not take the chance and attack me when you can?' Annie wondered as she stood up and felt the damage she suffered disappeared. 'You don't think I am a challenge to you, is that it?!' Annie thought in anger at her dark-haired opponent 'I will teach you that I am stronger than you!'.

'GRAAA!'

Annie growled angrily and began to run back at Mikasa while this time both her hands coated with the same diamond-like material. She tried to hit Mikasa again and again as the black-haired just matched Annie's punches as shrapnel from the crystalline coating on Annie's arms that flew in all directions with every blow.

'Now!' in a second Annie sent a kick to the leg of the black-haired who responded with a kick of her own to stop her.

A smile appeared on Annie's face 'you fell for it!'.

Mikasa noticed something glinting in the moonlight on Annie's leg one second too late.

'Krisss!'

The dark-haired expected to push Annie back again when she tried the same trick twice, but she didn't expect that her leg flew up as she fell to her back from her loss of balance.

'What do you think about that!' Annie screamed inside her head that she finally managed to hit Mikasa strong enough to overthrow her. "Just like I thought, only her hands can withstand my attacks! the rest of her is open to attack" Annie smiled to herself, with her plan she was finally able to catch Mikasa off guard. She saw Mikasa's lost leg on the ground with smoke rising from as it and began to dissolve as a new one began to regenerate and take her place, she knew that she doesn't have a lot of time and sent a kick to crush the head of the black-haired shifter.

Mikasa quickly moved her head and rolled a few meters from the giant heel that could have left a big hole in her head. She used her still distant leg and kicked herself to get away from Annie who jumped directly at her.

Mikasa managed to get some distance from Annie and rose up on her one leg before she again fell to the earth and supported herself with her hands and looked at Annie, waiting for her second attack. Annie moved forward more quickly than before as to not let her opponent the time to run away again, but as soon as she approached the dark-haired shifter. Mikasa shifted her body do her side as her hands still held the ground.

Annie expected her to roll or move but was shocked when something hit her head with so much force that she flew like a puppet and crashed quite far from the black-haired Titan shifter.

'W-What was that?!' Annie thought as she tried to get up but lost some control while her head throbbed and her ears rang from the shock of the impact. She could see the dark-haired girl and discovered what hit her. The dark-haired had used her hands to move her body and used her new leg that was coated with the same black armor as her hands were.

Annie's injury was not meant to end her, just to keep the blonde away from Mikasa until her lost leg returned.

Annie's eyes focused on her new leg that was entirely the same as her hands. 'It can't be! only her hands were armored!' She thought as she saw Mikasa looking at her new leg for a few seconds before she looked back at Annie with a smile that was hidden by her hair.

Annie rose from the ground as she tried to understand what happened, 'Now her leg is strong enough to withstand my attacks as well... but now only her one leg is still vulnerable? why didn't she use her armor on both of her legs from the start?' She asked herself and felt that the black-haired shifter didn't think she would need to use her ability before the real answer hit her. "So she gets stronger every time she regenerates," Annie said as the answer hit her as if it was obvious.

'I didn't think she could hurt me so hard, but at least I learned something new about my power' Mikasa looked at the blonde female Titan 'well it seems you had a use after all Annie' the black-haired shifter thought as she examined the ability that could be very useful in the future. 'How can you defeat me when I become stronger every time?' Mikasa smiled.

Within her body Annie smiled to herself 'is that all?' She thought as she began moving to Mikasa. 'Even if you get stronger it will not change anything if I hit your weakness strong enough, even your new power will not save you from me'.

Mikasa prepared herself for the assault with a kick. Annie jumped into the air to stay away from the hit.

Mikasa's leg hit two tree trunks and snapped them in half as they crashed to the ground while shrapnel flew in all directions.

"So it's just like my power" Annie realized immediately a direct hit would not be something she would want to experience.

"I'll have to hit her hard enough to knock her to the floor so I can get her neck and end this!". Annie was still in the air and managed to grab Mikasa's head and pulled herself to the dark-haired Titan and landed on her chest as the two crashed to the ground, Annie tried to hit Mikasa's head but she was grabbed by her hands as Mikasa held her in place.

'Shit! let go!' the blonde thought angrily and tried to use everything in her power to get away from her black-haired opponent. she began to try and kick her stomach but failed as she didn't manage to get her footing right.

"Let go you monster!" Annie cried in her huge body. She released a growl of anger and used all the strength her legs could muster and kicked herself from Mikasa. 'I need to change my rhythm!' Annie thought as she stood with her fists raised and ready to attack, but the difference this time was that she skipped lightly with her feet like she did in practice. she knew that her only chance was to stay cool and remember her training as Mikasa looked like she didn't have a lot of experience with her titan form unlike Annie did.

Mikasa just looked at her for a few seconds and finally, she instantly rushed just in time for Annie to move to her side and to kick Mikasa in the back only for Mikasa to turn around and blocked the leg with her hand. The blonde quickly followed with a fist to Mikasa's face and as she expected she missed, but just like she trained she moved her body forward and send another fist to the black haired chin and this time she hit her mark.

Mikasa staged for a second as the hit shocked her head and left her open for an attack.

She guarded her face and the back of the neck as she jumped back to avoid a hit altogether. but did not expect for Annie to anticipate where she would be, the blonde hit Mikasa's back with her kick the second she landed and sent her flying to the ground face first.

The black haired shifter could feel as her spine rattled in her body, she didn't ever think someone could hit her so hard.

Mikasa spans around in an instant and prepared herself for another hit that was sure to come and sure enough, Annie's fist came crashing next to her head and made the black-haired grab her fist and used her legs to kick the blonde's legs.

Annie succeeded to avoid getting her legs cut off by Mikasa but was still knocked out to the ground by the sheer force of the hit.

"Damn! almost had her!" Annie said to nobody in particular as she tried to think of a new strategy to deal with Mikasa.

The black-haired got back at her feet and took a second before she rushed to the blonde.

Annie changed her stance again and braced herself as she blocked the fists of the dark-haired shifter and thrown some punches of her on as the two Titans fought to push the other one back after Mikasa was able to lock hands with Annie.

Their eyes met as they glared at each other refusing to retreat or give up.

The one who was the most physically strong was Mikasa, but Annie was the one with more experience and used all her body and structure to remain solid in front of the black-haired shifter.

The land under their feet began to show signs of a struggle as their legs sunk deeper and deeper while the two refused to show any weakness.

'How much power does this monster have!' Annie wondered as she struggled to hold her ground after some time.

Annie realized that it will take a new way to take her opponent down or her situation can and will only become worse.

'I have no other choice!' Annie thought angrily as she did not want to show her that she wasn't strong Like Mikasa but she wanted to win and not to mention survive this she will have to do something.

Annie left Mikasa's hands and grabbed her arms as she pulled her close, she used the same move as she did to Reiner in their training. She flipped Mikasa over her back using a combination of her weight and momentum as the blonde managed to lift her into the air for a few seconds before she slammed her to the ground with all her might.

The power of the blast caused Annie to fall forward on the dark-haired shifter with her elbow ready as she hit her opponent's chest.

'CRACK!'

Annie could feel as Mikasa's chest broke under the force of her blow. 'Okay! this is the chance I waited for-' Annie thought she got her chance to finally beat the black-haired despite her low odds before she felt her right arm being torn from its place without any hesitation and little resistant.

Mikasa hit Annie's elbow hard, not about to give her opponent the upper hand in this battle and with her hands, she tore Annie's arm from her place and let it fall to the floor behind her.

"Damn you! Just give up already!" Annie tried to finish the job with her remaining hand. She needed just one shot at the same spot and she could get to Mikasa's real body.

'Mikasa!' Annie thought as victory was almost hers as soon as she gets to the black-haired's head this fight was hers.

'Krissst!'

Annie wasn't fast enough to understand what happened before she saw her remaining arm fly into the air with hot blood spraying around.

The dark-haired Mikasa knew she wasn't able to get away from the grip of Annie or break her diamond coating away, so the only fundamental thing to do was to tear her arm off completely and leave the blonde without any means of defense.

Annie didn't expect the quick response of the dark-haired and remained without too many options trying to jump back as Mikasa grabbed her right leg and prevented her from moving. "Let go of me!" Annie screamed inside her body while her right leg was again sent to Mikasa's head but before she could hurt her dark-haired rival her leg broke by the strong grip and sent her to the side.

'Shit! I need to concentrate on one hand before she gets me!' Annie thought as she could not move and was with her face to the ground. She began to try to kick herself away just to get some time to heal the damage she received.

"What the-? I can't move?" She wondered in terror as she got a sick feeling as a something heavy stopped her from moving. Before she realized what had happened, she felt something powerful on her as her last leg was broke it in half. Annie remained still as she got a sick feeling as something caught her body and throw her to the sky.

The only thing she saw was the gray sky and the shape of Mikasa who stood over her. The black-haired pushed both her hands into Annie's chest with a wet disgusting sound of blood and started to open her stomach slowly while the noise of flesh and bones could be heard across the area as Annie was torn in two.

The blonde girl felt horror as it was something that she had not experienced even once before. She could feel the pain of her body wasn't able to hold out and just break to pieces with a sickening sound, leaving her at the mercy of the dark-haired shifter.

'Krsskrrss!'

Mikasa let Annie's body fell to the ground and did not move a centimeter, she lifted her foot into the air and then crushed the head of the blonde who could not resist her anymore.

'The hell!?' Annie tried to move but without success, she couldn't see anything anymore and could only hear a noise and feel vibrations from time to time. She could not move any part of her body but feel her head began to throb and turn around.

She was in complete darkness inside her body for a few seconds before she felt her body began to shake and then finally she was able to see the light of the moon and feel the cool breeze, and finally, she could see the oversize head that belonged to Mikasa's Titan form as her eyes were focused on her.

The dark-haired's hand moved to Annie caught her and then pulled her from her beaten and bloody body as her last defense was gone and she was left at the mercy of her dark-haired opponent.

"I-I will not... lose to you!" She tried to raise her hand in the air, but with little success, her hand started to get up but fell back immediately. She had never felt so tired after she became a Titan, but it also was the first time someone pulled her by force from her body.

"I won... Annie..." Mikasa said with a smile as she felt the small body of the blond girl she had her hands as did her life.

'I gave you a chance to give up... but it's too late now!'.

Said the dark-haired and quietly began to increase her grip on Annie's body crushing her. But stopped almost immediately.

Mikasa just looked at Annie's face without moving 'Why?' She thought as she realized she was still holding the blonde in her hands still alive, 'I just have to close my fist and finish it all. It would be like crushing an annoying bug' She tried to convince herself and thought about all the times that Annie was between her and Eren and the fact that from now on he would be only hers when the blonde will be out of the picture. "I... can't..." Mikasa sighed and began to loosen her grip until Annie just laid in her hand, Mikasa, gently lowered her to the ground.

The blond girl felt the cool ground and opened her eyes, the steam out of her weak body already stopped as she herself looked tried. Her clothes were torn and dirty from her first battle with Mikasa. 'I'm still alive? What happened?' She looked at the shape of giant Mikasa who looked at her.

'Zisst!'

The dark-haired Titan could hear something quickly moved to her and immediately turned around only to find that someone moved past her head and straight to Annie 'Eren?!'.

She thought as she saw Eren who held Annie in his hands and looked at her in anger.
