Motivated by Eren, Gaine erupted with lightning sparks and leaped towards the skyscraper, heading straight to its topmost floor to help his grandfather. Eren, meanwhile, headed for the last floor, the lab where he had placed one of the bugs. “Come on," he urged Drake, who was still limping. They walked towards the elevator, and when they got into it, Eren pushed the last floor button. Drake groaned in pain, and Eren sighed. “You have to hold on, okay? This will end soon.” Eren said, trying to encourage Drake to be patient and stand strong. Soon, they reached the last floor and walked toward the lab as quickly as possible. When they got there, the lab was in shambles. All the documents were scattered, some vials had broken on the floor, and different liquids had spilled around. “Alice!” Eren called out to, hoping to find the lab’s carekeeper. He spotted other scientists hiding around, but not Alice. Not giving up on his search, Eren dragged Drake to the second room, whe

While Eren and Sid fought intensely, Silas slowly approached the pedestal, his feet moving independently. His heart beat rapidly in excitement, and a fierce smile crossed his lips. Finally, after years of planning and plotting, his schemes were about to pay off. All those years of frustration, anger, and hurt would finally pay off in full and glorious form. Once he got to the pedestal and grabbed the helmet, he was made. He would have all the power to destroy anyone who stood in his path, most notably the Winchesters. The smile on Silas’s face grew wider, more manic. This victory would be his crowning glory for centuries, and he was only starting. After this battle, there would never again be anyone with any power over him. No one could challenge his power without consequences. They had tried before and succeeded, but never again. Silas' feet moved again, and after two more steps, he stood directly before the helmet. He stared at the shining silver surface and felt h

When Eren arrived at the topmost floor, he was shocked to see Gaine crying bitterly. The clan’s head, Solvane, was on the floor, lifeless. It wasn't what he expected. Yes, the battle was a tough one. He’d even fought some men on his way here, but he never expected to see the clan head dead on arrival. “Gaine,” Eren called softly, but Gaine didn't hear him. The boy was bent over, sobbing heavily and muttering curses at the men who’d killed his grandfather. Eren’s chest squeezed. He was about to call out to Gaine again when a strange sound stopped him. A sound came from the air, and Eren lifted his head to investigate. It was Silas, Sol and Sid on a podium. They were floating on air, each with a wicked smirk on. Silas laughed out loud, and the sound caused Eren to clench his jaw and fists. “Oh, I waited so much for this day,” Silas yelled, his arms outstretched as he looked down at Eren. He was making jokes and mocking him. Eren knew this, and his jaw clenched even f

“So, you’re going to stay at the Academy since you can’t return to Silas' house, right?” Tiana asked Eren this while packing her stuff into a duffel bag. She was leaving the Academy, just like most of the Ten had. Since their training had been stopped, and the Academy wasn’t resuming anytime soon, there wasn’t any need for them to stay back anymore. Tiana would have left since, but she was spending some time with Eren. “So, where will you stay now? And what will you be doing?” Tiana asked Eren again. The query was met with silence. Now that she thought about it, he didn’t answer her first question. She glanced up from her bag to him, who seemed deep in thought. He seemed lost in his world. What the hell was he thinking? “Hello.” Tiana took two steps and snapped her fingers in his face, “Earth to Eren?” Eren blinked once before he noticed Tiana, his mouth opening slightly. “Oh yeah, sorry. I kind of got distracted by something. What do you want to know?” “What wears

Gaine jolted awake, the sharp echo of a scream piercing through the stillness of the night. He sat up, heart pounding. He couldn’t sleep. He wouldn’t even dream of it. Not when Eren's cries and screams of agony were unmistakable. And he knew that the cries came not from his nightmares but from the reality before him. His father—William Winchester— had arrested Eren on the day of the funeral on some baseless claims that the boy had something to do with the attack. Eren had something to do with the attack, and Professor Silas, the old-man orchestrator, didn’t think to take his ward with him. He’d left him here with the wolves. Gaine could only laugh in frustration, and when Eren’s raw screams pierced through the walls again, he cursed out loud, “Fuck!” This didn’t sit right with him at all. It didn’t. “Damn it,” Gaine muttered, flinging the blanket off and swinging his legs out of bed. He quickly dressed and headed out, determined to confront his father, but when he got
