Note: I drew Sophia's Jaw Titan. And yes, I did trace Porco's Titan and change things.

Forgive me, I'm lazy. Now, back to the story!!

"Even if they don't know, it's obvious what we have to do in this situation."

"Follow orders." 









Hair whips around the Scouts face as he drives his horse faster and faster, towards the elite team of Scouts. 

"I've got a message!" He shouts. "The right flank enemy Scouts have been devastated!!" 
Pausing, he takes a heaving breath.

"The right flank is now blind to enemy movement!! Please pass on this message to the squad on your left!!"  

The soldier rides back to his side of the formation, after saluting curtly to Captain Levi. 

"Petra, you heard the man." Levi directs her. "Move out." 

"Yes, sir!" Petra rides off, and soon enough, the only part of her that can be seen is her coppery hair. 

The right flank?! That's where Armin is... But I'm sure Armin and the other guys would be stationed closer to the centre. The Titans couldn't have gotten that far in. Eren thinks, his green eyes darting around the flat plain. 
In the distance, a black plume of smoke billows up into the sky. More quickly follow, staining the sky pitch. 


"Black flares! There's an Abnormal?!" Eren shouts. 

Levi looks back calmly at the green-eyed boy. "Eren, you fire off the flare."

"Yes Sir!" Eren yells, covering one ear while firing off a pitch-black flare. 


A Titan...   ...Right over there...   ...Below that flare...   ...Are people battling it?

Sophia's P.O.V 


Annie's bone streaked hand covers me, blocking out the sunlight. 
The calls of the Scouts below reach my ears, the clacking of horse hooves echoing in my ears. 

Smoke enters my nostrils; a flare was fired off at Annie. She moves her head to the side, dodging easily. There seems to be a three-way attack. I don't fret, as I know Annie, with her level of ability, will avoid it. Annie jumps, jolting me. I hear the sickening crunch of bones beneath me, and I can only imagine what's stuck to the bottom of her foot. 

She lashes out with her other, and amidst a crunch of metal and timber, another spark is extinguished. I wince internally, but I'm not that unhappy. 

These are the Devils of Paradis, after all...

Only one  left fighting... Peeking out through her fingers, I see that she has grabbed the wire of the last Scout. Her fingers start to move, as she whips the wire around in a circle, pulling the body of the Scout sideways; breaking something inside, and killing him.

Blood sprays onto the ground. 

Annie picks up speed. A jolt goes through my body as she kicks the remaining Scout and his Horse into the air. 

More blood joins the viscous layer on the ground. 

And more, and more, and more, as futile attempts to stop The Female Titan came to a tragic end.

3rd Person P.O.V


Annie pulls herself out of the muscle of her Titan. She looks at the dark-haired girl who is disgruntled, but more or less alright. 

"You should transform now, it'll be your only opportunity," Annie tells Sophia, the markings on her pale face making her look strange.

Sophia nods and takes a few steps away from Annie. 

"Please get back into your Titan. I don't want you getting hurt from the transformation's blast," Sophia says.

Annie snorts and allows the muscle to consume her yet again.

Sophia pulls a blade out of her sheath. She tests the edge on her finger. Sharp enough. With a deft movement, she pulls her right pointer across the blade, drawing blood.  

Lightning falls from the sky, and with a crash of thunder and a gush of steam, the Jaw Titan is formed. 

Its darkish locks whip in the wind and its wild cerulean eyes catch the light. The Jaws Titan looks at Annie, before bounding off. Although the Jaws is faster then the Female, it would look questionable if two seemingly intelligent Titans entered the forest at the same time. 

The hardened claws of the Jaws ripped into the ground like a hungry animal, mane trailing behind it like a lost soul. Not long now...

Eren... we're coming.

Dappled light falls on the pine green Survey corps cloaks. Horses hooves clack on the rough mossy stone, as a trail of wagons and horse riders travel into the overgrown forest. 

The trees loom metres above the Scouts, even taller than the misguided Colossal Titan. 

Sophia arrives at the forest just before the Scouts. She launches herself up into the looming trees and propels herself, swinging from branch to branch with ease. 
Pulling herself up to the highest she can go, she settles down and waits, hoping no one will see her within all the leaves and foliage.

"Draw your swords." Captain Levi says.
 "If that thing appears it will be all over..."













"...In a flash."
