Link's Point of View

Let's do this.

Falling from a tall building after the female titan in her human form, I unsheathe my blade and aim it downward.

She's small, with blonde hair in a ponytail, and in a recognizable uniform I've seen the locals around here wear - the Military Police uniform. Immediately after I had struck the female titan off of the other girl, she then rolled herself off of the edge instantly. This girl has a good - no, great - reaction time. Usually, for me, fights are just using the shield to defend, then striking at the right moment. I wonder how this girl fights.

Almost an inch from the ground, Titan Girl (that's what I'll call her, 'female titan' sounds like she's just a titan) uses the strange hookshot-like mechanism on her waist to fly back into the sky, landing on another tall, wooden building, followed by me doing the same with my hookshot. I rise upwards to the roof to see Titan Girl, fists icy blue for some reason, ready to strike. Before I touch the roof, she charges at me and leaps into the air, landing a nasty punch on my stomach. I land near the edge and quickly stumble to my feet, reluctantly ignoring the pain.

I carry out a quick scan of my items in my pocket - Goron Mask, bow, a deku nut, a hookshot and my ocarina. Nothing of great use except maybe my bow and deku nut.

I hear a "clink" sound coming from Titan Girl, and I direct my attention back to her to see two hooks both landing an inch to the side of my feet, causing her to fly forwards. Reflexes acting for me, I leap into the air as she swings herself off of the building. Immediately after turning myself towards where she launched off of the building I see Titan Girl returning, sprinting vertically up the building with her hookshot gear.

I fail to not let her back onto the roof, though that's a longshot.

I had seen her doing something to the other girl with black hair when I pushed her off, not hesitating to strike. I had also witnessed her titan go limp, followed by a shadow erupting from it - Titan Girl. I assume she can turn back into a titan as well, but she hasn't done so yet. I also witnessed certain parts of her body have a blue crystal material form on it, both in human and titan form. I don't know how, but I do know it hurts terribly.

She's back where she was, standing across from me in her odd combat position. Her fists are no longer covered with the crystal material, and she would've turned back into a titan by now if she wanted to.

I hold my shield up and lurch towards her, ready for another strike. She's in an odd fighting position; her fists are above her head, leaving many parts of her body vulnerable, but I'm definitely not going to underestimate this girl. She flinches when I get within about two yards, and starts to sidestep around me, analyzing my every move.

Just a few seconds of awkward eye contact and she jerks herself forward for another strike, attempting to kick my shield off my right arm from below, but I bash her head with my shield, sending her backwards a few steps. Taking advantage of her being stunned, I sheathe my sword and take my bow, which is resting on my torso (wrapped around it), along with an arrow and take aim. I release the string on the bow, launching the arrow forwards at Titan Girl. She's not in her "position" but she still flinches, hardening her fist and taking a swing at the arrow before it reaches her. She's still in pain, but she still has her lightning-fast reflexes.

It took me a few moments, but I'm pretty sure this girl is the titan that I met when I first entered this place, and who eventually gave up when I stunned her. What she wanted from me, and what she's trying to do now, I have no idea. It's not good, I know that, and it looks like I'm the only person trying to stop her, with the exception of the other girl whose legs probably broke. And the other titan with the shaggy black hair. Forgot about that guy. Who was that guy? Whatever.
