After witnessing her parent's brutal murder by the military cops, Katniss Burnedead is taken in by the Scouts, where Erwin sees the potential within her. He assigns her to train under Captain Levi, gradually earning the nickname "Levi's Kid." (stude...
The squad began to move towards the green smoke, trusting it as a signal from Levi to regroup. But as they approached, a sudden blast echoed in the distance. To their horror, the Female Titan emerged from the smoke, barreling toward them with immense speed.
Petra's voice cut through the chaos, "Prepare for the formation of the Electrified Tree Net Trap." The one they had practiced for months. Eren, confused by the sudden shift, asked, "What do you mean?"
"Just keep propelling forward and leave the rest to us," Oluo ordered. In an instant, Levi's squad scattered across the trees, each member skillfully setting the nearly invisible wires. As they propelled forward, the web of wires began to take shape, preparing to ensnare the rampaging titan.
But Kat, though her hands moved and set the wires like the others, her mind was elsewhere. Is this what Kenny meant? Her heart raced. If I take part in this trap, the infiltrator will kill Levi Heichou. But if I don't... we'll all die at this titan's hands.
The wires snapped into place, locking the Female Titan right in the center. Each member pulled, binding her. It seemed to be working.

But Kat's thoughts were elsewhere. A flashback hit her, Levi's words from their training echoing in her mind: "If there were a group of soldiers, who would you save first?"
His response echoed through her: "The strongest soldiers, because they are capable of saving many others"
Gunther had handed the power pack to Kat after Levi had been electrified by accident, the last time they were practicing. Now, holding the same power pack in her hands, Kat stood frozen.
"IKO! Press the button!" the others yelled, urging her to release the current and shock the Female Titan into submission.
But Kat stood still, her heart pounding as she muttered to herself, "But... the strongest soldier in humanity is Levi Heichou. If he dies... it's all over."
Her squadmates shouted at her, urging her to act. But hesitation had taken root. Then, another voice from the past crept into her mind, Levi's quiet, firm words from that night: "Promise me one thing, Kat. Protect the squad."
That promise rang louder than the chaos around her. Without thinking any further, Kat made her choice. She decided to press the button. Heichou is strong. He will handle whoever comes after him.
But just as she was about to press the button, the unthinkable happened.
The Female Titan broke through the wires with a terrifying force, snapping them as if they were nothing. The squad stood frozen in disbelief. Then, before any of them could react, she struck.
One by one, the members of Levi's squad were cut down in front of Kat's eyes.
Gunther was the first, his body tossed like a rag doll into the trees. Eld followed, slashed across the chest with brutal efficiency. Petra screamed, her voice cut off as she was slammed into the tree, her body left limp and broken. Oluo's defiant attempt to strike back was met with a devastating blow that crushed him in an instant.
