———————————————————————

It had been a day since the whole Manhattan incident had happened. The United States had sent its most elite heroes and the national guard to stop the titans. The question was whether the heroes and military could truly stop them.

The trio of All Might, Izuku, and Eren stepped out of the airport, their hearts feeling with anxiousness but they needed to get clues for where the titan shifters were.

The trio of All Might, Izuku, and Eren had arrived at the site of the catastrophic events that had ravaged Manhattan. All Might took in the sight before him and let out a heavy sigh. "This is something else," he said, almost in disbelief.

Eren was pacing around frantically, searching for any signs of their enemies. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. "Where could they be?" he muttered under his breath. "And wait; hold on. Wasn't Bertolt dead?"

All Might put a reassuring hand on Eren's shoulder. "We'll figure it out," he said, trying to calm him down. "Right now, let's focus on taking down Bertolt and Reiner. They're still out there, and they're a threat to everyone."

Eren nodded, his eyes still scanning the area for any sign of movement. He knew that they had to be cautious, but he also knew that they couldn't waste any more time. The fate of the world was at stake.

All Might surveyed the destruction, his heart heavy with the weight of the lives lost. He had seen destruction before, but this was different. The titans had ravaged the city, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in their wake.

Izuku stood next to him, his eyes wide with shock. "This is insane," he muttered. "How can anyone stop them?"

All Might placed a reassuring hand on Izuku's shoulder. "We'll find a way," he said firmly. "We have to."

Eren, meanwhile, was searching the rubble for any sign of his enemies. He couldn't shake the feeling that Bertolt and Reiner were still out there, wreaking havoc somewhere.

Suddenly, he heard a sound. It was faint at first, but it grew louder and more distinct as he listened. It was the sound of something moving in the distance.

He turned to All Might and Izuku. "They're here," he said urgently. "We have to find them."

The trio set off in the direction of the sound, their eyes scanning the area for any sign of movement. As they moved deeper into the city, the devastation grew worse. Buildings were reduced to rubble, and the streets were littered with debris.

Suddenly, Eren caught sight of something moving in the distance. He pointed it out to All Might and Izuku, and they raced towards it, their hearts pounding with adrenaline.

Their fears would soon be replaced with a sigh of relief. "Thank God, it's only a rabbit."

Izuku could almost cry tears of joy.

"We still need to be cautious." eren warned. All might sigh, "Hey Eren, I never really got to talk about just life in general. And I know we're searching for the villains who control those giant titans, but let's be honest, they're probably not here."

Eren looked at All Might in surprise, not expecting him to bring up a casual conversation amidst the chaos. But he nodded nonetheless, grateful for the distraction from their current predicament.

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Eren asked.

All Might rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I was thinking about our similarities, actually," he said. "You and I both carry immense power, power that can be used for good or for evil. It's a heavy burden to bear, isn't it?"

Eren nodded, understanding all too well the weight of the titan's power. "Yeah, it can be tough," he agreed. "But I try to use it for the greater good, even if it means putting myself in danger."

All Might smiled at Eren's words. "That's very noble of you," he said. "I have no doubt that you'll make a great hero one day."

Eren felt a warm feeling in his chest at All Might's praise.

"I hope so," Eren said softly. "I just want to protect people and make sure that no one else has to go through what I did."

All Might nodded, his expression serious. "I understand," he said. "And I promise you, we'll do everything in our power to make sure that never happens again."

As they walked through the rubble, All Might and Eren continued their conversation. They talked about their past experiences, their dreams for the future, and even their favorite foods.

Eren was surprised by how easy it was to talk to All Might. He had always seen him as an unreachable symbol of peace, but now he realized that he was just a person, like anyone else.

All Might, in turn, was impressed by Eren's resilience and determination. Despite everything he had been through, he still had hope for the future and a strong desire to protect others.

"I have to say, Eren, I'm impressed by your strength," All Might said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You've been through a lot, but you keep fighting. That's what makes a true hero."

Eren felt a warmth; it had been a while since someone had actually said something nice about him.

As the trio searched through the rubble, they heard the sound of faint footsteps. They exchanged a quick glance and readied themselves for a potential fight. They crept closer to the sound, moving cautiously and trying to remain undetected.

As they reached the edge of a clearing, they saw two figures in the distance. One was tall and broad-shouldered, while the other was slender and agile. They were both dressed in dark clothing, and their faces were obscured by masks.

Eren's heart pounded in his chest. Could these be the villains they had been searching for? He motioned to All Might and Izuku to follow his lead, and they approached the figures stealthily.

As they drew closer, they could see that the figures were standing guard at an outpost. The outpost was a makeshift structure made out of scraps and debris, and it looked like it had been set up hastily.

Eren narrowed his eyes. "I don't recognize these two," he muttered. "But they're definitely up to something."

All Might stepped forward, his presence towering over the two figures. "What are you two doing here?" he demanded.

The taller figure stepped forward. "We're just keeping watch," he said. "We haven't done anything wrong."

Eren wasn't convinced. He stepped forward, his eyes blazing with determination. "You're lying," he said. "We know that you're working with Bertolt and Reiner. You might as well just give up now."

The two figures looked at each other nervously, and Eren could see fear in their eyes. He knew that they were onto something. With All Might and Izuku by his side, he was ready to take them down.

As they cautiously made their way towards the outpost, Eren, All Might, and Izuku kept a sharp lookout for any signs of danger. The silence was deafening, broken only by the crunching of gravel beneath their feet.

Suddenly, Eren held up his hand, motioning for the others to stop. He had spotted movement up ahead.

As they crept closer, they could see two figures huddled near the entrance to the outpost. They were clearly villains, dressed in dark clothing and wearing masks to conceal their faces.

All Might signaled for Izuku and Eren to stay back while he approached the villains. He moved with grace and confidence, ready to take them down if necessary.

But as he got closer, something strange happened. One of the villains turned to face him, and All Might froze in shock. It was someone he recognized.

Without warning, the other villain lunged forward, attacking All Might with a fierce intensity. Izuku and Eren rushed forward to help, but they were too late.

All-Might was thrown back by the force of the attack, his body slamming into the ground with a sickening thud. The two villains vanished into the shadows, leaving behind a sense of dread and uncertainty.

Eren and Izuku rushed to All Might's side, but he was badly injured. They had to get him to safety, and fast.

But as they started to move, something even more terrifying happened. In the distance, they could see the unmistakable shape of a titan towering over the ruined city.

It was coming straight towards them.
