Complete story — includes the ending
As Armin helps Pyxis's subordinates coordinate a plan, morale among the troops begin to drop at the thought of facing the Titans again. Pyxis reminds them that if they abandon their posts, they will be subjecting their families to the same terror they faced; this convinces the troops to stay. Claiming that Eren is the result of a secret project to turn humans into Titans, Pyxis plans to have most of the troops gather at a far corner of the Trost District to lure most of the Titans away while Eren as a Titan is posted on the opposite end to carry the giant boulder to seal the hole. Eren will be guarded during the mission by three of the best elites of the Garrison Regiment; Ian Dietrich, Rico Brzenska and Mitabi Jarnach, with Mikasa joining for her extraordinary skill. Reaching the boulder, Eren transforms into a Titan, only to turn and attack Mikasa.
