Chapter 13: Chapter 13
"Wait!" - Mikasa tried to reach for him, but it was a failed attempt.
Now she was standing on the edge of the boat, her hands resting on the railing. The girl stood there, just watching the mysterious man walk away.
Strange as it was, few people inside the boat actually noticed the boy. Almost everyone there had just lost relatives and even their own home, their mental sanities were not stable enough to even pay attention to what was happening around them.
"Calm down Mikasa, what did he say to you?" - Sukasa putting her hands on her daughter's shoulders.
"He said he had clues to Zirken's whereabouts and ordered us to go immediately..." - Mikasa.
"!!" - Carla, Eren and Sukasa.
"Wait, what do you mean? How does he know about your brother?!" - Sukasa.
"I don't know... He just told us to go to this address in Trost and deliver this letter to some arrogant fool..." - Mikasa
"A dirty man speaking of the unwashed." - Eren.
"Are you sure he didn't say anything else?!" - Sukasa.
Mikasa only moved her head to the side in response. Both Sukasa and her daughter were even more bewildered and a little happier to suddenly get some clue about Zirken after months of searching without any results.
"Did you get to see his face?" - Carla.
"Just his chin, I don't think he wanted to let me see the rest." - Mikasa.
"I see..." - Sukasa.
A short time later, Armin managed to board the ship, but this time completely alone. When Eren and Mikasa saw the expression on his face, they soon assumed what had happened and it didn't take long for them to head in his direction.
"Armin..." - Eren.
"Leave me alone for a while, please." - Armin as he walked away from the two.
Hearing these words that showed clear sadness, Mikasa felt sorry for her friend. However, Eren had a different feeling, it was one of pure frustration and anger.
'Again these titans taking away more and more of our freedom!!! I could do nothing but watch them break into our home and hurt my friend!!!' - Eren closing his fists with all his concentrated anger.
Eren then approached Armin again, but this time with an angry and determined look in his eyes.
"I promise that I will exterminate all these damned people and get our freedom and hometown back!!! After that the two of us will go explore the world outside!" - Eren.
"Huh?! Are you an idiot?! Didn't you see how terrifying they are?!" - Armin mentally shook and shouted.
"I don't care! I will not live my life like cattle inside the walls waiting to be eaten!!!" - Eren speaks even louder.
"And how are you going to do that?!" - Armin trying to compete.
"I don't know! So you'll have to find a way for us to go outside!!!" - Eren.
"..." - Armin was completely speechless.
Both Mikasa and the two mothers were listening to the whole conversation, but did not interfere as they realized that Eren was unconsciously helping the young Armin.
"You are a complete impulsive idiot!!!" - Armin.
"What?!" - Eren.
The two went on arguing with each other after that, however, Mikasa's thoughts were elsewhere.
'Zirken... where are you?"-Mikasa.
-----------------------//-----------------------
'Hehehe, I hope my performance of the escanor was good. I've been wanting to act like that for a while.' - Zirken.
Presently he was still in the air and about to land on top of the last barrier preventing the titans from completely invading the territory of the sea wall. His expression, which was once one of excitement at being performing, is now again determined as he lands on top of the giant wall.
In the next instant, he stowed his katana in its sheath and sat up to stare at the completely ruined city.
"Any moment now he will appear..." - Zirken.
*Boom* *buum*
In a matter of seconds, loud footsteps began to be heard in the distance.
"Well, now all that's left is for me to give a warning and prevent further deaths for a while." - Zirken.
Following this, a fully armored titan emerged through a corner and was now facing the last gate that demarcated the end of the Shiganshina district. It began to let steam out of its mouth, and prepared to begin its onslaught to destroy the last defense of that wall.
The armored titan set off with all speed towards its goal. The soldiers of the garrison troop tried to stop it using their cannons, but its armor eliminated any chance of success.
Just as everyone defending the gate thought they would simply be run over by the ferocious monster before them. When suddenly a hooded man descended from the heavens and quickly moved everyone out of the way. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left in front of the gate, leaving the way completely clear for the armored man to punch a hole in the wall.
*BOOOOOM* - Impact of the armored titan destroying the gate.
After passing through, destroying everything in its path, the titan slowly slowed its speed, until finally it stopped completely. However, its thoughts were not so fearless.
'What happened!!! how did these demons just disappear so fast!!! did they give up the wall and stop resisting?'- Rainer.
However, the course of events was unexpected to him....
"Seeing it up close is really impressive." - Zirken altering his voice a bit.
"?!" - Rainer.
Suddenly, the hooded Zirken appeared in front of the titan. His sword was still in its scabbard, but this time it hung from his waist as he stood with his hands completely empty.
"I have let you fools fool around enough. Now receive your punishment for defying a being who is far above you." - Zirken, while raising his hand and pointing his finger upwards.
'Eh?'- Rainer.
Following this, the whole atmosphere started to heat up, everyone who was inside the boat watching everything silently, started to sweat. It was then that a completely burning sphere, extremely similar to the sun, formed over Zirken's index finger, radiating a strong wave of heat.
"CRUEL SUN" - Zirken.
The smaller version of the real sun was launched at high speed towards its enemy.
"!!" - Rainer.
The titan bearer had no idea what had just happened, but still reacted in time and raised his defense with his arms crossed.
*AAAAAARCK*
Even his armor couldn't stop the power of the sun. The armored titan was directly hit and sent flying into Shiganshina again. The attack was so strong that it sent him straight across the city without the slightest effort, and only stopped the moment it hit the wall.
(Imagine the scene of Zeldris and Estarossa being sent miles away, but this time put the armored titan instead)
'I tried my best not to overdo it, so I hope he's not dead. After all, this was just payback for forcing my beloved family out of their home.' - Zirken.
'You too Bertholdt, if you two weren't essential for me to be able to predict the slightest bit of future events, I would never have let you open two holes in the maria wall or even get out of here alive...' - Zirken.

Answer: No, I'm not crazy (maybe), he is modifying his voice! Yes, he made his own voice thicker so that no one would even notice it was him!
