Jarred nodded. He was ready to die for the kingdom. "Yes sir." He looked up, Vernon now missing from the top of the wall. He darted his eyes around and saw him, zipping through the streets on his gear, ushering people to inner wall. He clenched his fists. "I can do this." He grabbed hold of his pistons and took off, from building to building, looking for other graduating squad members. He saw Angelo. He zipped over to him using a minimal amount of gas. He landed next to him. "Angelo, we have to regroup with the rest of the graduating squad and fight back! Commander Leon's orders." He looked with a certain grimness. Most of them would probably die today. He didn't want it to be him, but sometimes fate take a hold of you, and there is nothing you can do. He snapped out of it. "Lets go!" He jumped from the roof and zipped to the next one, signalling Angelo to follow him. 

Vernon was now using his gas to dart through the streets. "GET TO THE INNER WALL - THEY ARE COMING!" He turned his head to see two titan in the street behind them. He gulped. They would catch the civilians. He was terrified of the titans, as was everyone else. But he had to do his duty. He grappled onto the next roof and swung himself around, drawing his blades. He took a few short breaths before launching himself with gas. "YARGH!!!!" He screamed, pointing his blades forward. The titans were both 4 metre class, but taking both would still be difficult. On the way through the middle of them, he swung one blade to the left, taking one down. The other still stood. He hadn't cut deep enough. Even worse, it had walked into one of his lines, so he fell from the sky and landed in a heap right in front of the titan. "NO!!!!" He was picked up. Kiccking and yelling he did everything he could to get free, but it wouldn't let go. He shut his eyes. "Please. I dont want to die just yet." 

SLICE

He felt a grasp on his uniform and was ripped from the titan's grasp, and thrown to a roof, and the titan fell. It was Lahar. He whimpered a little. 

"GET UP!" Lahar yelled, before leaning in. "Those who do their duty, for the good of mankind, regardless of fear, will survive this. I promise." He helped Vernon up before turning to face the main gate. "Regroup with the other recruits and do what needs to be done. I'm going to take down that." He was referring to the colossal titan which had taken down the gate. Lahar shot off, before Vernon could say anything. 

He saw Jarred zip past, and he scrambled to his feet, before following closely behind, shouting over the whistling wind. "I'm with you Jarred!" IT would now be be Himself, Jarred, and Angelo if he had followed Jarred. A small squad, but enough to defend some civilians.
