Heartless - I

The 57th Expedition 

The Survey Corps, charged with the perilous task of venturing beyond the Walls to confront the Titans, readied itself for the 57th Expedition outside Wall Rose. This mission was unlike any other, it was a desperate bid for humanity's survival. The Corps sought to unearth critical secrets about the Titans and their origins while scouting potential routes for future offensives.

Eren, having recently discovered his ability to transform into a Titan, is a central figure in this expedition. This marks his first major mission with the Survey Corps. Commander Erwin Smith, leading the Corps, devises a complex and enigmatic strategy known as the "Long-Range Scouting Formation." This plan is designed to minimize casualties and maximize their chances of success as they travel deep into Titan territory.

The scout's footsteps crunched on the gravel as they ventured beyond the towering walls, leaving the comfort and security of their home behind. Suddenly, a booming voice echoed across the open expanse.

"It's officially begun. The 57th recon mission. Scouts, move out!"

Erwin's words seemed to hang in the air, stirring the scout's heart with a sense of duty and purpose. Steeling their nerves, the scout pressed onward, determined to fulfill their role in humanity's grand struggle for survival.

"Second and Third Waves!" 

"FIRE!" 

The deafening boom echoed through the towering trees, reverberating off the ancient trunks and lush canopy. The Female Titan stood motionless, impaled from every conceivable angle by an array of grappling hooks and blades. Though the plan had unfolded flawlessly, the cost had been steep. Mangled bodies lay scattered across the forest floor, brave soldiers who had willingly sacrificed their lives for the mission. 

Erwin's mouth was set in a grim line as he surveyed the grisly scene. Had all these deaths been for nothing? Was this merely an elaborate ruse to flush out the spy in their midst? The commander's jaw tightened. He'd had to act on the scantest of intel, piecing together a daring scheme with lives hanging in the balance. But now, with the Female Titan subdued, he could not help but wonder if the true objective had been achieved.

It was an impressively intricate gambit, Erwin admitted grudgingly. No one, not even his own soldiers, had known the full extent of his scheme. The real plan had remained shrouded in mystery until the very end. As he turned to oversee the disposal of the captured Titan, Erwin steeled himself. Whatever price had been paid, the information they lesarned today would be invaluable in the war to come. This was but one battle in humanity's desperate struggle for survival.

This is why Erwin Smith was entrusted to lead the Scouts, to carry the weight of humanity's fragile hopes. He dares to tread where others falter, offering up his very soul as the cost of victory. To rise above the monsters, he must forsake his own humanity, bearing the burden of the unspeakable. He is more than just a leader; he is someone extraordinary... the one destined for this path. The Chosen One.

But just as the mission seemed to be going according to plan, the landscape shifted with brutal suddenness. The Female Titan's piercing scream rented the air, a primal call that echoed through the ancient forest and nearly burst Y/N's eardrums. 

In a horrifying display, the Female Titan's expression twisted into one of grim determination as her body began to convulse violently. With a chilling, guttural roar that sent shockwaves through the air, she summoned the nearby Titans, calling them to her side in a desperate act of self-preservation. To the utter horror of the onlookers, the Titans, drawn by the Female Titan's desperate call, swarmed eagerly towards her, their monstrous jaws gaping wide. Without hesitation, the ravenous beasts descended upon her, tearing into her flesh and bone with a primal ferocity. The scene unfolded in a grotesque display of violence and cannibalism, as the Titans voraciously consumed the very being that had commanded them. The Female Titan's once formidable form was reduced to a mangled, unrecognizable mess as the Titans tore her apart.
