Ep 16. What Should I Do Now - Eve of the Counteroffensive: Part 3

Eren awakens to find himself in a mysterious room, being attended to by a group of people he's never seen before. As he begins to ask questions, he comes to discover that he has been rescued by the Scouts - the same group he had trained with before, and that they have brought him to their secret underground headquarters.

Armin is thrilled to see Eren alive and well, and the two of them quickly fall into a discussion about what has happened since Eren's last memory. The Scouts have been planning a counteroffensive against the Titans, and are eager to have Eren join them in their fight.

While Eren is excited to be reunited with his friends and to begin fighting again, he also struggles with doubt. He still doesn't understand the full extent of his powers, and fears that he may not be strong enough to defeat the Titans. Armin, ever the strategist, reminds Eren of why they are fighting and what they hope to achieve - freedom for humanity.

As they continue to talk, the conversation turns to the reality of what they face - death and sacrifice. Eren is conflicted - he wants to fight, but also fears what may happen to him and his friends. Armin, who has always been the one to perceptive and thoughtful, tells Eren that it's natural to be afraid, but that they must move forward, even in the face of fear.

Mikasa arrives, interrupting their conversation with news that the Titans are attacking again. The Scouts quickly mobilize, and Eren prepares to join them in the fight. Before leaving, he embraces Mikasa, thanking her for always being by his side.

As they make their way to the city, the Scouts encounter more Titans than ever before, forcing them to split up into smaller groups. Eren is separated from the others, and must fight off Titans on his own. He quickly realizes that he still has a lot to learn about using his powers, but refuses to back down.

Eventually, the Scouts regroup and begin to push back against the Titans. Eren uses his powers to control the Titans and direct them away from his comrades. As the battle rages on, Eren finds himself once again face to face with the most formidable Titan of all - the one that killed his mother.

In a moment of desperation, Eren charges at the Titan, intent on taking it down. He is joined by Levi, a skilled Scout who has been watching the battle from a distance. Together, they push back the Titan and deal a devastating blow.

As the battle comes to a close, the Scouts regroup and celebrate their victory. Eren watches in awe as his comrades cheer and praise him for his bravery. He realizes that, even though he still has much to learn, he is surrounded by friends who will be there to support him as he fights for humanity's freedom.

With renewed determination, Eren affirms to himself that he will do whatever it takes to end the Titan threat and bring an end to the cycle of violence that has plagued humanity for so long.
