I ran on my hands and feet, charging towards some defenceless soldiers. It wasn't a very brave thing to do; killing unarmed men with one simple flick of the wrist, but it was convenient for the motherland of Marley. As I gained speed and reached my destination, I leaped using my back legs, pouncing like a cheetah catching its prey, readying my claws. My Titan, the Jaws Titan, was 5 metres tall, but don't let the size of it deceive you, as I can assure you that it is as deadly as any other Titan out there. It has a hardened face, as well as hardened hands and fingertips, making killing easier. The centrepiece of my Titan is of course the Jaw, having two rows of teeth, capable of destroying hardened Titan skin. The only inconvenient thing about my Titan is its long hair, making myself vulnerable to other, larger Titans. The men below me ran, screaming, crying, begging. It was pathetic. If it were me in their place, I would not stop fighting, even if it was the end. That's what soldiers are supposed to do. As defective soldiers, killing them will be for a good cause.

I raised my arm, and slammed it back down with great force, killing one of the three soldiers quickly. I moved on to my second target, slashing my claws through his body, mutilating it. I glared at the bloody pieces as I continued to my final victim. The other two were so quick and easy, so I toyed with my last prey by jumping over him, turning and looking at him through his cowardly eyes. He seized up, not moving or making a noise. They saw that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and all I see in this soldiers eyes are shame. Shame should not be present in a soldier. I whacked the scared man with the palm of my oversized claw, bashing him to the ground. He didn't flinch or react, he just stayed in his terrified state, which almost made me pity him. To end this failures life, I opened my fascinating Jaw, letting out my distinctive Titan roar, and closing in on the soldier. I took his top half into my mouth, and chomped down, slicing the body in half. I proceeded to spit out the torso, knowing that I would leave my Titan shortly. Those three soldiers were the only thing left to deal with before completing the mission, which was to gain control over the Northern Fortress which threatened the progression of Marley's empire; now all of their gear was ours.

I retreated back to our post, meeting with Commander Magath. I was the only Titan on this mission as Zeke, Pieck, Reiner and Bertolt were busy playing games with the Cursed Devils on Paradis Island. They should have sent me instead; Reiner had already been once, and he had failed miserably. His only achievement was recapturing the stolen Titan that I now posses, but that was only because that girl, Ymir allowed herself to be eaten. For her, I give my respects, but for Reiner, I give nothing, as he was the one who lost the Titan in the first place. Me staying on the mainland was not very convenient, but it meant that business could continue as normal.

Magath was in charge of this successful ambush, and because he is a True Blooded Marleyan, even though he sat and watched, he will get all of the credit.

"Get out of your Titan, boy! We have to travel back to Liberio, and I don't think that a Titan can fit in a train." joked Magath, keeping a serious expression throughout, "We need to evaluate how successful this mission really was." Magath turned around, picking up his rifle, and headed into the tent where strategies were made, waiting to see me.

I emerged from the nape of the Titan with a large cloud of steam which sizzled in the air, I pulled my face from the red flesh of the nape; the red strands of flesh were almost welded to my cheeks, but I pulled hard enough, escaping from the steaming lifeform. Next were my arms. I pulled my right arm out first, noticing that my shirt had been ripped off in the process. Then I pulled out my left arm, freeing my top half from the body. As I began to lift myself out of the Titan, I noticed that my combat trousers had tore off too, leaving me with ripped shorts that came down to the middle of my thigh. Finally 100% free, I leaped off of the Titan body, bending my knees as I reached the ground. I turned and watched as my Titan evaporated; it took a matter of seconds before the flesh had disappeared, leaving only an intriguing skeleton. My vision was slightly disrupted due to the light steam emitted from my Titan marks present on my face.
