   The retaking of Wall Maria was a mission that had been planned for only thirty days, but if it was a success it would prove to be the greatest feat that humanity had accomplished against the titans over the last century. Finally, after much discussion over the final execution of the plan and the writing and rewriting of battle plans, the Survey Corps, the Garrison, and the Military Police had reached an agreement on how to approach the capturing of the wall.

    Mikasa Ackerman paced around the hard, wooden floor of the sleeping quarters of the Survey Corps. It had been a little over a month since Eren’s military hearing, which had decided his fate among the Survey Corps and little was known about his whereabouts among the new recruits. Now according to the publicly disclosed information, he will become one of the most important components of the mission to retake the very wall that couldn’t protect them from having their home stolen from them. She wondered about how Eren felt about the whole situation, but as she questioned herself further a familiar voice chimed from the doorway.

    “Mikasa? Are you alright?”

     Her dark eyes glanced over to the familiar face of Armin Arlert. His bright blue eyes were filled with concern and she could tell that he was worried about Eren as well.

    “Yeah, I’m alright Armin. Just a bit nervous that’s all.” She replied honestly.

    “We’ve all been nervous to some extent, but today is the big day.”

    “I know, but I’m worried about how Eren is doing. We’ve only seen him once and God knows what they are doing to him.” She stated as memories of Captain Levi brutally beating Eren flooded her mind.

    “Well, they did want to keep him alive and I don’t think they would risk turning him into his titan form by hurting him.” The short blond reassured her.

    “I guess,” she shrugged.

    From the other side of the wooden wall, they could hear the sound of all the soldiers rushing at the toll of the brass bell that signaled for all of them to assemble.

    “Hey you two! We gotta go!” Yelled out the strong voice of Jean Kirstein as he poked his stern face into the cabin.

    “This is it isn’t it?” Armin sighed. Mikasa looked down into his expressive eyes and instinctively hugged him.

    “It’s going to be alright Armin. I’ll be by your side the whole way there and when we reach the wall we’ll be standing there in victory alongside Eren, you’ll see.”

    She could feel his hot tears soaking into her white shirt and bit her tongue to keep her tears from escaping her eyes. Armin wiped away his tears and nodded. Grabbing her tan uniform jacket and her treasured red scarf, Mikasa followed him outside and joined ranks among their fellow comrades.

   “Jaeger you better follow us.” Captain Levi bellowed from upstairs. Eren finished scrambled out from his quarters in the basement and glanced outside one of the windows and noticed that most of the soldiers were already at the stables.

   “I’m here Captain Levi.”

   “Well your body may be here, but let’s hope your mind is with us as well Jaeger.” The short man scolded, his cold grey eyes glaring at him. He followed behind Levi’s green cape and joined the rest of them by the stables. Mounting one of the horses, Eren was eager to go on his first mission with the Survey Corps, it had always been his dream to fight and wear the “Wings of Freedom” on his back and now his dream had become a reality. It all seemed a bit surreal to the 15 year old, it was only a month ago that he was being tried and almost sentenced to death and now he is going to have the chance to regain the territory humanity had lost.

   “Jaeger, are you with us?” Levi questioned with a hint of annoyance. The brunette shook his head and snapped out of his thought. “Yes sir, I am.”

   “Alright, well we have to move out, we’ll be heading to the gates of Wall Rose and meeting up with Commander Erwin Smith.”

   With that final statement the squad all spurred their horses and followed their stoic captain to the gates. As their horse’s hoofs hit the ground Eren breathed a heavy sigh, he was ready, and he knew it deep inside that he was. Spurring his horse gently he hastened his pace as they made their way to Wall Rose.
