"You don't have to say anything, I already know."

"I know."

Your body was slightly hunched as you rode your horse with high speed, consistent alongside the rest of your comrades. Your eyes focused forward though occasionally, your gaze would stray in search of any remaining Titans around the area. 

You all passed an abandoned ghost town, some houses wrecked with the trees scattering the area. Listening intently to Erwin's orders, you activated your ODM gear and followed along with Hange and the others. The green hood of your cloak stayed still neatly atop your head even as you zipped through the air. 

Landing on the top surface of the wall, you began running to complete the formation that had been decided for you. Not a single Titan could be seen within the demolished district of Shiganshina. It was an odd sighting, considering the fact that there should be at least a few Titans. Yet not a single one could be seen. 

Despite the strange occurrence, Hange shot out the greenlight as a sign of completion within the first stage of the strategy. Amidst the green hue from the pistols, a surge of lightning could be seen alongside strong wind that almost blew you away. A bright light blinded your eyes, a sign of Eren's transformation. Or so you were told. 

You've never had the chance to witness it beforehand. But just as the flash of lightning disappeared, it was replaced with heavy mist. When that dissipated, your eyes were in awe as you stared at the hardened Titan that covered the hole in the gate. Soon, Mikasa could be seen going down to the Titan to retrieve Eren. One gate down, another one to go. 

"Don't let your guard down!" Hange instructed, reminding you of it since you were slightly admiring the form of Eren's Titan. 

'Maybe Titans are quite the interesting creature,' you thought. 'Hange would be pleased to hear me say that.'

"Keep on the lookout!" Hange ordered once again, earning affirmations from the soldiers.

Not long after, Mikasa landed on the Wall surface, Eren right next to her. Ensuring Eren's health, Hange approached the boy. You watched from where you were standing as a breathless Eren checked his protective gear while Mikasa gently wrapped her green cloak around Eren's shoulders. 

The boy stood up, placing his hood gently atop his brown head. Green hues shot upwards into the sky as a sign of the success of plugging the outer gate of the district. With Hange's order, you began running to reach the opposite side of the wall to carry out the closing of the inner gate. 

While you were all making your way towards the inner gate, the Commander shot out red smoke, a sign to halt the mission. Landing your feet on the side of the Wall, you looked at Hange, awaiting their order. Hange instructed the same, earning similar affirmations. 

You all watched as the soldiers by the inner gate were tapping their blades against the side of the Wall. It was as though they were checking for something, searching for something. From atop the Wall, you watched with focus as those soldiers fulfilled their orders. 

Your eyes widened greatly upon seeing a soldier getting stabbed through his stomach by a blond figure from inside the Wall. Falling to his death, the soldier passed away. Panic flooded you but you remained your composure, denying its' wish to overwhelm you. 

From where you stood, you watched as another figure fell from the top of the Wall, his blade already brought out. Recognizing the figure, you saw that it was none other than Levi. You knew he'd always been fast but just how fast had he gotten?
