Chapter 4: Joining the Battle
It wasn't long before the newly formed trio found Abby and Armin. The former had her eyes glued on titan-Eren, and the latter was, well, now he was trying to avoid being glomped by a fangirling Batgirl. Mad and Niko watched in amusement. Unfortunately, before long Abby had to drag Batty away from Armin. "He has to help defend Eren while he carries the boulder." she whispered. Batty look disappointed, but nodded understandingly.

Her disappointment didn't last long, though. Everybody was soon focused on Eren as he began to lift the huge boulder. Armin, terrified as he was, took off to help him. "I wish we had some 3DMG so we could help," Abby sighed. "Just because we don't have equipment doesn't mean we can't help," Niko said, getting a 'I have a stupid idea' look on her face.

Everybody listened carefully while she explained her plan.

"I DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA," Mad yelled as Niko dragged him behind her. "It'll be fine!" she assured him excitedly. "Look, there's a titan up ahead. Get ready to carry out the plan!"

Abby and Batty were just as excited as Niko. Admitted, attempting to distract the titans from Eren with no gear was a pretty crazy idea. But crazy ideas were what they lived by.

"Hey, you big ugly jerk!" Abby yelled a little too boldly. The three meter slowly turned around, staring the group down with beady eyes. "Now run!" Niko ordered, and the four of them darted off in different directions. Ironically, the titan decided to chase Mad, the only one who wanted nothing to do with this adventure.

He ran inside the first house he could get to and slammed the door. The titan's deformed head appeared in the window, and Mad automatically glanced around for a weapon. Not that he had really expected to find 3DMG laying on the floor, but he didn't like the idea of going down without a fight.

The window crashed open suddenly, spraying glass in every direction. Mad scrambled backwards as a huge hand reached inside. He found himself pressed against the house's back wall with the titan's fingers literally inches away.

Well, this was inconvenient.
