Chapter 17 - The fall (2) (1/2)
(A/N Consider this as a parallel world. Not everything would be the same but I will try to make it as logical as possible. It took me a long time to plan this out. Thx for reading.)
”Why Frieda!!! Please! People are dying over the side of the wall! SOON! They will invade Paradis! Please lend us your power!”
”No... it was the Eldian's fault, to begin with. And so we must atone for our ancestors' sin.”
”HOW CAN THIS BE ATONEMENT IF THE INNOCENT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH!! PLEASE FRIEDA!! The wall will be destroyed! That's where my family is at! Please... I'm begging you...”
”If we all die... then so be it. It's the will of the world, we must accept them.”
”No...I would have to fight you... Don't make me do this Frieda.”
I despaired... but it's not because I know I am weaker than her. If we were to fight for real, I will win with my fighting experiences.

(A/N sorry if you couldn't read this. This is what it said.
[Do it Grisha... For your past comrades and sister... Don't you want vengeance? Think about the anger you feel then. End the story that you started... Right dad?](Future Eren) )
Suddenly a voice spoke to my mind. Although the voice was somewhat cryptic, I could roughly understand the intention behind them. I need to fight. I have to.
Using my knife that I prepared, I stabbed down my hand as hard as I could.
---------------------------------
She's weak... I'm disappointed by her weak power. It's a pity that she's the holder of the Founding Titan. If she had used her power seriously, millions of people wouldn't have died incessantly.
Bending down, I was about to eat her so I can inherit the Founding Titan power, but before I could...
---------------------------------
(Kenny's POV)
(He's Levi's uncle if you don't know. One of his goal is to get the titan power but he's afraid that he will become compassionate if he inherited the Founding Titan's power.)
Oy oy oy! What is this? Why is there a titan here? And is that Frieda fighting it?
A few days ago, I heard that there have been several cases of people losing memories over the past few months. Instantly, I connected these incidents to the Founding Titan's power. This Titan's power can alter people's memories so it was possible that Frieda did this. I have seen it before. But, deep down, I knew it was impossible for Frieda to do this. She was too much of a pacifist after all. Regardless, I still need to check. If I can confirm that she's abusing her power without a good reason, I will kill her and inherit the Founding Titan's power. Uri would have also wanted me to do so.
(A/N Uri is Frieda's uncle, the previous holder of the F.T power)
Hiding behind one of the wall, I waited for the right time.
NOW!!!
Using the Anti-personnel vertical maneuvering equipment (A/N This is slightly different from the ODM gear. It's designed to use on human. I'm just gonna called the AP-ODM) , I quickly dashed toward the titan that was about to eat Frieda.
Within just a few seconds, I immeadiately appeared right behind its nape. Even though I specialized in killing humans, I have also killed countless titans.
Positioning my gun on the top of the nape, which I think should be where the head is located, I aimed.
BAM!! and nothing happened.
