In the distance, you and the other Yeagerists heard an explosion.

Aether- Explosion?

Yeagerist- Maybe lightning?

Hanji- That was a Thunder Spear. Zeke should be in custody farther ahead... What could've happened there?

Aether- We should head toward it maybe we can find something.

At the explosion, Zeke was absolutely mangled to where the explosion took out his legs, leaving his upper half, or what was left of it

Zeke- I can't... Hear anything. I'm losing my vision, too

Shiganshina

Military officers were forced against the wall at gunpoint, and they had cloths wrapped around their arm

Inside

Yelena- I said the day would come when we sat around the same dinner table once again. And it would seem I was right, wouldn't you agree, Commander Pyxis? I'm grateful for your quick response. You've forbidden any military resistance.. and have assembled all your soldiers here in Shiganshina District, just as requested. Incredible

Pyxis- You left me no choice when you started dosing people with that spinal fluid. We had no idea when we might be turned into titans. As such, the only safe space for us is Shiganshina, now that the civilians have been evacuated. And anyway... what else could I do with so many allies pointing guns at my back?

Garrison Officer- Please Commander, forgive me... Both my son and I drank that wine

Pyxis- When'd you first decide to betray us?

Yelena- There's no need to answer that

Garrison Officer- Forgive me

Pyxis- I only ask because it looks like the earlier you changed sides, the better your position here. That white armband you're so proud of means you're a Yeagerist, no? I'm guessing those wearing red were forced to submit after being told they'd drank wine tainted with spinal fluid... And finally, the black armbands mark the majority of us fools who drank the wine and never learned a thing. Right? Colored armbands remind me of Marley. Didn't Marley control the place where you were born in the same way?

Yelena- There's much to learn from an enemy

Pyxis- Including how to make even more enemies, I see

Yelena- I believe it was Your people who refused to let us join you. Am I wrong?

Pyxis- Speaking of which... when we deiced not to trust the visitors from fat who appeared on our island bearing tainted wine. I wonder... were we wise? Or were we fools?

Yelena- You were both foolish and wise. If you had simply put your faith in us and in Zeke from the beginning we could have saved the world by now. But...

Pyxis- Hm...? Did you just say The World? Isn't your plan to put Zeke, Eren, and the King together and cause a Small-Scale Rumbling? And, by doing so, to show the nations of the world that they can't lay a hand on this island for the next fifty years? But that would only save this island, would it not?

Onyankopon- Yelena?

Forest

You all made it to the explosion and there is a Titan and a bunch of body parts all around the place.
