In the Reiss Chapel, the heavy atmosphere of tension hangs thick as the soldiers, led by the notorious Kenny Ackermann, stand guard with their senses on high alert. The king has been summoned to a crucial government meeting, leaving the sacred grounds vulnerable. As they wait in anticipation, the air is pregnant with the promise of violence.

A sudden crash shatters the stillness, the sound of the door splintering under force. Kenny's sharp voice slices through the silence, demanding to know the intruder's identity. The soldiers' hands tighten around their weapons, readying themselves for the impending clash.

To their astonishment, three ominous barrels come tumbling into view, rolling menacingly toward them. Sasha, known for her precision and quick reflexes, doesn't hesitate. With a swift movement, she notches an arrow, setting it ablaze before releasing it into the barrels. The explosion echoes through the chapel, engulfing everything in a cloud of acrid smoke.

Kenny's eyes narrow as he assesses the aftermath. "Gunpowder," he growls, his voice laced with grim recognition. "And oil. They've turned this into a powder keg."

Caven, a seasoned soldier with nerves of steel, wipes the sweat from her brow as she takes in the chaotic scene. "This is bad," she mutters under her breath, her gaze darting around for any sign of the enemy's next move. "Stay sharp, everyone. They won't let us breathe easy."

As if on cue, a volley of green smoke erupts from the obscured corners of the chapel, accompanied by the shrill whistling of smoke signal flares. Caven curses under her breath, her frustration palpable. "They're using the smoke as cover," she grits out, her eyes scanning the haze for any hint of movement. "We'll be blind in this chaos."

As the Yeagerists soar through the air, Taka's sharp eyes scan the battlefield, swiftly counting the enemies maneuvering with ODM gear. "Twenty-four... thirty-two... thirty-five enemies spotted! They're regrouping behind the pillars! Maintain the plan! We'll wipe them out right here!" His voice carries determination and strategy, rallying the troops for the impending clash.

Caven's commanding tone cuts through the chaos, her orders ringing clear. "All units, disperse! Surround them individually and take them down!" The Yeagerists, fueled by their loyalty and conviction, engage in a synchronized dance of combat, their movements calculated and precise. Pieck and Mikasa, both formidable fighters in their own right, seamlessly join the fray, adding their expertise to the onslaught.

Meanwhile, Sasha's skilled marksmanship remains invaluable as she continues to target the strategically placed barrels, triggering more explosions and billowing clouds of smoke that obscure the battlefield, creating a chaotic backdrop for the brutal melee unfolding.

Blades clash and bodies fall as they push forward, each member of the team driven by a relentless determination to eliminate every visible threat, even if it means plunging their blades into flesh and bone. The Anti-personnel squad's bullets rain down, but the Yeagerists are shielded by the advanced military suits provided by Stammer and Valij, rendering them impervious to gunfire.

Amidst the cacophony of battle, Kenny Ackermann emerges as a force to be reckoned with, his sheer strength and expertise cutting a path through the enemy ranks, leaving a trail of fallen foes in his wake. However, his advance is met with fierce resistance, and some Yeagerists are forced to take cover, their breaths held in anticipation of the next move.

Then, a familiar voice cuts through the din, electrifying the air with renewed hope and determination. "KENNY!" The shout reverberates through the chaos, drawing everyone's attention as Captain Levi's elite Special Operations Squad swoops into the fray, their blades gleaming in the dim light of battle. The unexpected reinforcement sparks a surge of morale among the Yeagerists, as they find themselves bolstered by the legendary prowess of Levi and his squadmates, turning the tide of the conflict in their favor.
