Attack on Titan/Zelda crossover - To Hyrule and Back Again

Chapter Twelve: Welcome to District Yarckel

Link's Point of View

-the morning after he fought Annie in Zingi-

The city I saved is now a ghost town.

Most escaped, some died, a few never left at all.

After retrieving my bag of items & masks, as well as my horse Epona, Alex, Armin, Sasha, Connie, and I set up camp inside a house that was barely touched by the utter destruction caused by Titan Girl, who is apparently named Annie.

That dude Connie's still out cold. Alive, though.

"Anybody have a map of all three walls?" I hopefully ask, drawing on my personal map. I just put "Zingi" down in southern Wall Rose.

"Nope," Alex responds. He's shuffling through a stack of books the previous owners of this house had. Armin's sketching something on a big piece of paper on the floor, and Sasha's packing her bag with supplies.

"Welp, I'm going to go out on a food run, guys. Anybody wanna join me?" the reddish-brown-haired girl named Sasha asks aloud after a few minutes. Armin perks his head up from whatever he's drawing, and says, "I can't come right now, but I'd really love some more pencils."

"That's not food, Armin," Sasha replies.

"I'm trying to figure out where we're gonna go, and I can't do that without a writing utensil."

"Alright, whatever. Link, care to join me?" she asks, swerving towards me.

"Sure, I guess."

. . .

"It feels so... weird out here. Just a few days ago the streets of this city were flourishing after Annie attacked one of the districts. You were there, weren't you? Ehrmich?"

"I was. I was beaten by Annie, as well."

The sun, just now rising above the terrain out in the distance, lets us know we have to be back fast, as apparently some group is looking for us at this very moment. It lights up the abandoned streets, with rubble constantly in the way of our path and entire lives destroyed...

by her.

I guess she's the next Big Bad, I think to myself. However, I don't think she's anywhere near Ganondorf or Majora. She has her strong points, though.

"Right before the Female Titan attacked Ehrmich, someone approached you in that one restaurant.... do you remember her?"

"Yeah. Tried to fight the titan. She failed. I nicknamed her Black Hair in my head. What about her?"

"Well... her name's Mikasa, and she's one of the best titan-fighters I've ever seen in my life. How badly was she beaten?"

"Sounded like her legs broke. All it took was one swing, and she was paralyzed... but not by her legs being broken. Whatever sorceress powers Annie has probably has to do with it. Her powers don't work on me, however..."

"I noticed."

We stumble upon a fairly large untouched food market, shelves of food packed in cylinder containers - "canned food," it's called. Some are on the ground, some are broken or opened, and some are tightly contained. Taking it all just feels weird. Like we're stealing. Yet nobody's here to stop us...

I grab one of the cans, labelled "Radiok's Green Pea Soup," and open it by the tab-thing at the top, and smell it. Doesn't seem half bad. I take a seat on the wall opposite of the shelf I retrieved it from, with broken chairs & windows surrounding me.
