The comeback

The first wave

In the realm of Attack on Titan, the walls held stories of terror and triumph. Karlova District, once a thriving place under Queen Historia Reiss's rule, had become the epicenter of horror as a militant force, reminiscent of the infamous RSF, unleashed an unimaginable nightmare upon its people. These militants did not simply fight—they sought to dominate and terrorize, breaking the very spirit of the Karlovans with relentless violence. They stole, they destroyed, they kidnapped innocents, and they inflicted unthinkable pain.

The assault had been as swift as it was brutal. Homes were torn apart, and families shattered as the militants rampaged through the district. The streets were painted with fear as the Karlovans tried to flee to Trost and other districts, desperate for refuge. But with each step, they faced the terrifying reality: not all would make it.

Queen Historia Reiss received reports daily—figures of casualties, lists of the displaced, and the increasingly dire situation in Karlova. Every update weighed heavily on her, each story breaking her heart further. The kingdom's security authorities were overwhelmed. There weren't enough soldiers, enough supplies, or enough time to save everyone.

Yet, the Survey Corps, Paradis's vanguard of heroes, fought tirelessly to contain the conflict. Scouts stood in defense, blockading Karlova to prevent the violence from spilling into nearby regions. But they were stretched thin, and as battles wore on, it was clear they needed something more than tactics and training—they needed hope.

Historia knew that in times of despair, her people needed to hear her voice. In the quiet of her chambers, she crafted a plan. She would call forth the bravest of her heroes, those she trusted most, to stand as pillars of hope for Karlova. Soon, she would gather them, her warriors who had faced titans and fear alike, to rally around a new mission: the liberation of Karlova and the salvation of her people.

With heavy resolve and a fierce heart, Historia prepared to call upon her heroes, knowing they would stand with her, to rise above the darkness that threatened to engulf their world.
