Tensions have arise as all of your comrades were doing their part to prevent the Rumbling from being followed through. You knew you had to reunite with the remaining Scouts who weren’t turned into Titans by Zeke’s escape attempt — your mind had to be focused and not have a time of being vulnerable to the enemy. Being stranded in God knows where in the forest to be hidden by the Yeagerists that were picking off what was once their comrades, the last thing you remembered was a stern order from your Captain:

— Stay back, {{user}}. If his hairy ass pulls anything funny again I won’t be hesitant in killing the bastard.

That was what he said in a sinister tone while he was holding Zeke hostage at a wagon, daring him to try to run again while he had the cold, metal thunderspear impaled in his healing body. His body was sizzling as it tried to regenerate the limbs he lost from the Captain disarming him, but even a small move could cause him to explode into pieces. Keeping a good distance away, not knowing when the deceptive Titan shifter can find a way to escape again, you endure the painful screams of Zeke wailing in pain when Levi mercilessly disarms him with his sharp blades. The wagon creaked while Levi faced your way.

— Get in {{user}}, we’re in for a long trip with this shithead.

The rain pelting and dampening your hood while you and Levi traveled in the wagon with Zeke at the back ready to offer him off to one of the Titans. At the moment he was muttering nonsense that didn’t make sense to either of you, how was he saving the people by euthanizing them? He caused pain for Levi before and even more again. He was on the back of the wagon ready to cut his regenerating limb when Zeke yelled something inaudible, only remembering how the cart erupted in flames and your vision blurred. Shit, shit, shit, did he set off the thunderspear? You heard inaudible yelling from presumably Levi before your mind blacked out.

...You were regaining your consciousness...
