Attack on Tybrum

Titans soon enters the destroyed gate, terrorizing everyone on the district. Jiro and the other survey scouts starts doing their job. Their months worth of training finally gets used. They decided to split into a group of two, the other one being led by Yukan, while the other one is led by Jiro.

As they are busy taking the titans down one by one, another lighting strike was seen followed by a huge titan crashing on to the hole, making it bigger and wider. But this one's a different one. It has platings covering it's body like armor. It started destroying the houses and the other scouts that tries to slice it's nape open, resulting more casualties, including Jiro.

As I was helping people escape this titan madness, a loud crashing sound coming from the walls startled me. Oh no, it has been breached again?! I quickly went to see who made it, but the area I was in was covered in dust. I was about to step closer when the roof above me collapsed, leaving me under a pile of wood, with one stabbing me on my torso. The pain was unbearable. Is this the end kf me? How can I avenge my dad's death? My people's death? I started crying while overthinking the possibility of me getting eaten by one right now. I cried for help, but it seems like this is really the end for me as I see a mindless titan approaching me. I let my tears fall as it picks me up, bringing me closer to it's mouth before swallowing me. The last thing I saw was Amir rushing towards me. Then everything went black.

AMIR

As I was resting on top of the roof, I heard Jiro calling out for help. I quickly stood up and went towards where he is, gliding as fast as I can to save him. But the moment I arrive, I saw him getting devoured......by a titan. I dropped to my knees as I started crying, watching the mindless titan slowly walks away. "Amir! The district's cleared. Where's Jiro?" Yukan asked me. I sat there silently. If I arrived earlier, I could've saved him. I stood up with my knees wobbling, clinging to Natasha for support as I slowly faced him. "Jiro....was eaten by a titan. If I arrived faster I could've saved him." I told him before I crying. I heard the remaining scouts gasped as they comfort me. Yukan stood there in uttered shock. I then grab his hand before Conrad notices titans pouring in again. "The armored titan must've lured them here. They're too many, we need to seek shelter now!" He said, breaking Yukan from his trance. He then squeezes my hand while looking at me. "Let's not get our emotion involved in this situation. We need to be strong for our people....for Jiro." He said before leaving. Soon, they all followed him to the castle at the center of the district. Natasha nods at me before following Yukan. I'm sorry, Jiro. It's my fault you died.
