The B.O.T stands for Battle of Trost.
I'm only referring the Colossal Titan as an "It" given that no one has seen a titan with a different gender. Until the Female Titan came into the picture.

Ch.4 The B.O.T. Gone into the Beginning Battle

Dusk and Eren ran towards the Colossal Titan in full speed, but before they could launch off it whined it's arm back behind and brought it back like a whip as the Colossal Titan smash all of the cannons off the wall. Seeing it's motive, Eren and Dusk put all of their strength into one huge jump dogging It's on coming attack. Eren glared at the wreckage "Son of a B*tch! He took out the cannons!" Dusk made a quick thought, not all monsters he's face were not mindless and this one was one of them "And It didn't take out the gate by accident, either! It planned this!" Eren shouted in realization question "He's got intelligence!?" The Colossal turns to the two soldiers still hovering in midair it stretched out It's humongous hand trying to grab them.

Eren and Dusk were not stupid to let it take them, they both launched their hook-shots at It's arm and fling around it, land on the arm and start running up towards It's nape. "Still, this is the perfect chance!" Dusk ran beside Eren's left shoulder and said "Eren, remember the basics of our training. Don't lose yourself." Eren replies "I know, but he's the only one who can destroy the wall! If we can just take him out!" The Colossal Titan lift It's arm up hoping to make them lose their balance and fall down, what It didn't know was that Dusk shouts "Now Eren!" Said teen who let out a battle cry "Got you!" In just a split millisecond The Colossal Titan let out some steam, literally. Knocking Eren and Dusk back, not wanting to submit surrender Eren pulls himself together and launch another attack as he cries out in a fears, battle, anger, cry. "Ghaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Cutting through the smoke only to find the 60 meter Titan gone, leaving the boys in shock 'I/He missed?!' Both Dusk and Eren thought, then realize that they were no longer holding on to something. Not wanting to fall to their death to soon, they quickly shot their hooks onto the wall's ledge thus stopping avoiding a death fall. Looking for any traces of the giant, but alas there was nothing left of it except for his foot prints on the ground, Eren cures in frustration as he thought 'No The Colossal Titan disappeared!' He turned to Dusk to say something but the man in question was looking off out in the field, not sure what got Dusk so intensely focused Eren fallowed his gaze and saw what was either just a hallucination or a dream. Because he sees the black monstrous creatures from his dreams just only about 4 or 5 miles away from here.

'It can't be! This isn't real, this is just another dream... right?' Just then Thomas's voice broke Eren's thoughts like lightning "Eren! Dusk! Did you guys beat it?!" Shaking out of his trance, Eren shouted back up "No! It's just like five years ago! He suddenly appeared, then suddenly disappeared!" As Dusk got over his long gaze, he and Eren got back up on top of the wall and to inspect the situation, though Eren had his head hung low in shame "I'm sorry. I let him get away." Dusk clamped his hand on his companion's shoulder "You did your best. Remember, when an opponent is cornered it will do whatever it takes to get out off a tight situation. And also, learning from our mistakes helps better ourselves in another same battle." Eren look up at Dusk hearing his lectured advice during their time in training made him feel better about himself, Thomas tries to encourage him too "Yeah, what are you apologizing for? We were scared stiff-" and then Connie then killed the mode "Hey! This is no time for that! The wall's been broken! We have to hurry and seal it before the Titans get in again!" That's right! They need to get in gear! and right at that moment the Gradation Squad came up and deliver the orders "What are you doing?! The Colossal Titan Response Operation is already underway! Return to HQ at once! Anyone who's come into contact with it, remember to give a report!" The four young men saluted "Yes, Sir!" then Connie added "We pray for the advance team's success!" Dusk could only think sadly as the advance members rushed past them 'They're not coming back, they don't know how to fight off the twilight beast.' Eren wasn't sure of what Dusk was thinking, but what he does know is that he's familiar of what those black creatures are. And he's going to get Dusk talk about them one way or another.

"You cadets have successfully graduated! You are now proper soldiers! I have high hopes for you in this operation!" Everyone is running around like chickens with their heads chopped off, the two couples who were flustered an hour ago were holding each other for comfort support "Don't worry, Hanna. I promise I'll keep you safe." "Franz..." Hanna breaths out, Eren found is good friend kneeling down facing the wall while trying to hook his air gas tank gear together "Are you okay, Armin?!" without looking up Armin replies in a soft voice which soon escalated into a hyperventilating panic tone "I-I'm fine! I'll calm down soon enough! Still, this is bad! We don't have the technology to quickly seal an 8-meter-high hole! And we never did manage to unearth that big rock near the front gate! Unless we seal the hole, this city's as good as lost! It's only a matter of time until Wall Rose is breached! In fact, if they ever feel like it, they can pretty much wipe out humanity anytime they want!" Eren couldn't take anymore of this and decided to snap his best friend out of his rambling trauma state "Armin! Calm down! This isn't like last time! Humanity won't give in to the Titans anymore!" That seem to work as Armin then said "I'm sorry I'm all right."

Satisfied with seeing his friend in a positive attitude, Eren was so focus on wanting to fight the Titans that he almost forgotten about the other monsters as well. Spotting Dusk close by Eren wanted to speak to him, but doesn't want to leave Armin's side. The Fighter was at a split path and doesn't know which one is the best choice to take. On the first path he could talk to Dusk about the dark beast they saw out on Wall Rose, or take the second path he could wait until another opportunity comes by. Taking a deep and exhaling the weight off his chest. Eren believes now is the time to tell Armin what's been going on with him on the dreams he's been having for the past three years.

"Hey Amin, can we talk somewhere privet?" Armin looked curious up at Eren as he got up him his squat position "Huh? What do you mean?" Eren was about to speak out his secret when a man from the Garrison known as Kitz Woermann came into the picture to make his next order speech Eren quickly says "Later" as they hear what the man has to say "As practiced, you will now split into your squads and perform resupply, message relay, and Titan-clearing duties under the command of the Garrison Regiment! The Garrison Regiment's intercept squad will take the vanguard! The Cadets, led by the support squad, will take the middle guard! And the Garrison Regiment's elite squads will take the rearguard! Additionally, I've received word that the advance team has been wiped out!" 'I knew it.' Dusk thought sadly it wasn't just the Titans that wipe them out, it was also the Twilight Beast as well. They were getting continues "The outer gate has been breached, and the Titans have been allowed inside! In other words, the Armored Titan could very well appear again and demolish the inner gate at any time!" Dawn can't help but to glare at the Woermann "How dare he strike more fear to everyone one of us here!" she mutters under her breath, Dusk puts an arm around her and whispers to her "Zelda relax, if we let our anger get out of control we'll have a serious panic on our hands." Dawn gaze into her hero's eyes as she breathe in and out to calm herself, as her clawed nails turn back into her regular nails.

The cries of multiple fresh cadets shout out "You can't be serious!" "You gotta be kidding me!" "If they end up breaching Rose too!" nearly every single cadets cries in fear "Quiet! The vanguard is currently engaged with the enemy! This defense operation has but one objective: to defend Wall Rose until the citizens have finished evacuating! Also, as I'm sure you're well aware, desertion is punishable by death! Be prepared to lay down your lives! Dismissed!" "Sir!" Dropping their salute, the soldier cadets ran in different directions to get into their groups.

Though one horse face teen was moaning as he walk "Why today? I would've been on my way to the interior tomorrow." He walk pass Daz who was puking his guts out "Are you okay?!" Crista ask as she rubs his back for support, Jean continues to power run/walk only to run into Eren. "No, no, no, noooo Move!" And shoved him harshly out of his way "Hey, Jean! What's wrong?!" Jean turns around and snapped at Eren "What's wrong?! That's easy for you to say, you suicidal maniac! You want to join the Scouts! You're ready to be Titan chow anytime! But I was headed for the interior tomorrow!" Eren tries to calm the wild horse face when the said person yells out "You expect me to calm down and accept death?!"

Eren was done with taking Jean's crap and said "No! Think back! Think back to the three years of sweat and blood we endured! So many times we came close to dying during those three years! Some people did ran off. Others were kicked out. But we survived! Right?! I'm sure we can survive today, too! You can just survive today and leave for the interior tomorrow!" Jean was silent for a moment and then turns to the cadet laying on the floor "Damn! Let's go, Daz! Quit your damn cryin'!" Daz weakly replies "R-Right" and fallowed the horse-human face to the rest of their squad group.

Satisfied with getting Jean's ass in gear, Eren was about to leave to find his group when- "Eren." the said teen turn to the one who called to him, it was his adopted sister. Mikasa. "If the battle gets chaotic, come find me." Eren just gave her a look, like she was out of her mind "Huh? We're in different squads!" She press even farther "If the situation falls apart, things won't go according to plan. I'll protect you!" Dusk and Dawn saw this display of Mikasa's long for affection for Eren, it's quite unsettling 'Seriously! are they were brother and sister?!' Thankfully a commanding soldier yelled at the girl "What the hell are you Cadet Ackermann. You're in the rearguard. Special orders. Come with me." Mikasa tries to protest "I-I'm not skilled enough! I'll only be a burden!" The Garrison wasn't buying into her lies "I am not asking for your opinion. The citizens' evacuation is behind schedule. We need as many elite soldiers near them as possible." "B-But!" but she was cut off. "Hey!" Eren then smack talk to Mikasa, literally. "Cut the crap, Mikasa! Quit freaking out like everyone else! Humanity's on the verge of extinction here! This is no time to go and impose your own selfish rules!" Holding her brushed head, she replies "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly." Mikasa looks back to see her beloved sempai leaving her. She then grabs hold of Eren's arm before he move any farther and said "I do have one thing to ask. Please don't die." Mikasa's plead didn't go unnoticed to the two Hylians, she may be a powerful woman but she does not have the wises ideas 'I ain't gonna die.' He thought as he yanks his arm free from his adopted sister's grasp 'I can't die yet! Because I still don't know what this world is really like!'

As Eren walk away from Mikasa, he over heard Dusk and Dawn's conversation about being in separate squads, Dusk is in his and Dawn was in Mikasa's squad. "What about the Twilight Beast? No one here has ever faught them before." Dusk replies "I only saw five of them outside the walls, with every civilian out of the area the only concern is for any soldiers engaging them." Dawn cast her eyes down in sadness "That's what I fear. Please do everything you can to make sure that neither you nor anyone gets caught by them, Link." Eren's eyes widen in shock, 'Link?! But that's-!' Dusk or Link broke Eren's thoughts as he said "I will, and when we meet up I hope to see you well. Princess Zelda." Dawn or Princess Zelda gave Link one last hug before heading to her group, as Link watches her leave he headed towards his group but stops by the supplies boxes "I know you're there Eren." A little surprise, but Eren did know that this is his mentor who's been teaching him for the past two and a half years. "You have questions, but now's not the time for answers. When everything is settled I'll tell you what you want to know, but for now keep a clear mind when facing the enemies. Don't let your hatred emotions take control of your actions."

Even though he was still upset with Dusk or Link for keeping secrets from him and that he and Dawn were lying to everyone for the past three years, but Eren knew deep down it was for a good cause. These new monster beast are connect to them, and to him from his past dreams. Taking in a deep breath, Eren look directly into Link's eyes and says "I'll try to do my best, Dusk."

Time Skip

Eren, Dusk/Link, Armin, Mina, Tomas, Milieus and Zack stand on top of one of the buildings in Trost seeing how much the Titans have caused so much destructions in a short amount of time. Dusk/Link knew that the Twilight Beasts manage their way in here, but 'where' is the big question. Eren was also concern about the black monsters making their way in here, he had seen what they can do from his dreams. Attacking people and either killing them or turning them into Twilight Beast. The memories of classes on how to take down a Titan and the studies on them came flowing back into their minds.

Flashback to Titan Study

"Surviving historical documents say nothing about the origin of the Titans. Most everything remains unknown. The things we do know about now, including Titan ecology, are based entirely on the latest reports from the Scout Regiment. We've been unable to determine if the Titans possess human-like intelligence. As such, there've been no cases to date of mutual communication." the Teacher explains while he draws out a body image of a Titan's structure of organs and mussels.

The teacher then resumed the lesson "Titan physiology is fundamentally different from that of other living beings. They lack reproductive organs, and it is unclear how they reproduce, but they primarily possess male-like physiques. They have extremely high body temperatures, and, perplexingly enough, they show no interest in anything but humans. Consuming people is the Titans' sole principle of behavior, but given that they've existed for over a century in a human-less environment, we can surmise that the very act of feeding is unnecessary for them. In other words, it's believed that they are not motivated by predation, but by bloodlust. And, most of all, the Titans' tremendous vitality is the primary reason that humankind has been so greatly overwhelmed. Humanity has long possessed cannon technology, but that alone wasn't enough to combat them. Even when their heads are blown off, the Titans don't die. Additionally, although there is some variability, their heads will fully regenerate in only a minute or two."

Multiple thoughts ran though the Hero's and the Princess's head of these monstrous beings, as mostly everyone was voicing their thoughts out loud "You can't be serious" "Their size is bad enough as it is" Marco panicky ask the teacher "Sir! Does that mean the Titans are immortal?!" Dusk and Dawn thought disbelieving the boy thinking that they are immortal, not everything can be immortal. And the teacher gave them answer that stands to their statement, as he circle the back of it's neck detailing that it's the Titan's weak point. "They are not immortal. There is one way to defeat a Titan. You target here. When severely damaged here, a Titan will die without regenerating. That's where these two flesh-paring blades come in. A successful strike to a Titan's weak spot with these will cause its immediate death, with no time to regenerate whatsoever."

End of the Flashback

Eren remembers Armin looking very nervous during the lesson as he is right now, not wanting his friend to have another meltdown he said "Hey, is the perfect chance, don't you think?" At first, Armin looked confused at what his best friend was saying "If we take care of business in this first battle before we've even joined the Scouts, we rookies will shoot up the ranks for sure!" "Yeah. No question about it." "Just so you know, you aren't the only ones in our class who wanna join the Scouts." "You beat us to the punch earlier, but you won't outdo us this time!" "Sounds like a challenge, Thomas! Whoever takes out the most Titans wins! "Don't go messin' with the scores!" Only Dusk/Link was being serious of the situation "Don't make this a game for fun. Our lives and the lives of others is in our hands."

Eren nodded his head, he knew that this shouldn't be a game but he was trying to get his friend not to get scared, "I know, and that's why we picked you as our squad leader Dusk." Dusk/Link gave Eren a sharp nod, When their commander barked "Squad 34, move out! Bolster the vanguard!" Dusk/Link order his team into battle "All right! Let's go!" as they jump off the building and maneuver through the Titan infested town. As the squad moves in closer to the area they can see Titans in every corner, Thomas, Mina, Milieus and Zack voiced their thoughts out loud "That many Titans?!" "The Vanguard's been totally routed!" "What are they doing?! Those hot shots usually act all tough!"

'I figured things would be bad, but not like this!' Eren thought with a slight fear washing over him when he spotted something, a Titan leaping of a building ahead in front of them he quickly shout "We got an Abnormal!" Dusk/Link shouted to get everyone out of it's range. "Pull out!" Eren manage to get out of the way and grab onto the railing for support while Armin, Mina, Milieus and Zack stood on the rooftop. Dusk/Link was on another rooftop building right next to them "Did everyone make it?" Taking a quick headcount to find that they are missing one, where's Thomas? The feeling of dread filled Dusk/Link as he turn to where the Abnormal Titan is smashed against a bell tower to see the missing cadet hanging out of it's mouth before he is slurped down into the monster's throat.

The first member of squad 34. Was eaten right in front of their eyes. The emotions of fear, sadness and anger mix within everyone's minds and body. Then a cry of hatred snaps them out of their state of shock and into a newer different shock. "What the hell are you doing?!" is what was spoken as Link/Dusk turn just in time to see Eren launch himself at the Titan "Eren! Don't go off on your own!" Armin cries to his friend, but it fell deaf to his ears "Get back here, damn it!" Dusk/Link Rushes after him "Dusk!" "Not you too!" He quickly ordered "Stay where you are, I'll be back."

Eren sprinted at the Titan almost forgetting what he has been taught by Link "You're gonna pay for killing Thomas! I won't let you get away! I won't!" Dusk/Link saw another Titan hiding between two building houses and Eren was heading in that direction "Eren! Stop!" Snapping out of his rage was enough to dodge the Titan's jaw trap, if it wasn't Eren would have lost his leg within 2 seconds flat. Looking at Link/Dusk Eren can clearly see just how upsetting he is at him for abandoning their squad to kill a Titan, but something caught his attention the black monsters from his dreams and from the walls where right behind Link/Dusk "Dusk, Behind you!" Link/Dusk turned and saw them running at the remaining squad, "Get out the way!" He yelled at them, but they mistake his body gesture meaning for a help instead of run away from here.

"We need to help them!" Mina exclaim as she and two out of the three boys that were with her, Mina's idea plan failed her when some more Titans came closing in on them along with the Black beast creatures. She, Nick and Milieus got captured or knocked off from their gears as are face-to-face with death. Their cries of "Please don't!" "Let me go!" "Noooo!" rang thought the area as Armin sat on his knees in frozen shock, 'Why? Why am I watching as my friends get eaten? Why can't I move?' Eren saw another Titan with a bearded walking towards his frozen stiff blond haired friend "Armin!" "Eren!" hearing his name, Eren turn to Link/Dusk as he draws out his blades "You get Armin out of there while I'll take out the Titan."

Eren thought Link/Dusk was out of his mind, but it makes sense. One would go after their comrade while the other will attack the Titan while it's distracted. It's not a good when lives are on the line, but it's the only way to fight back for it is better to die fighting for freedom and peace than to die like a coward and not fight at all.

As Eren and Link/Dusk race back towards Armin, Eren recall the day he and Armin looked at a special book detailing about the world outside of the walls and how Armin's parents ventured out there and hoping that one day they too will see what's its like to be free from the walls and taste the free winds blowing from the sea. To feel the sand out in the dessert. To see lands covered in ice and snow and fiery water rushing by. 'The outside world, huh.' Just as the bearded Titan was about to drop Armin into It's mouth, Eren used all of his strength to stop the Titan's jaw from closing with one of his blades holding the mouth in place and one arm holding Armin by the wrist. With one hard pull, Eren flung his best friend out of the Titan's mouth as he landed back onto the roof.

Armin looks back to see his friend still in the Titan's jaw "Eren!" he cries "I refuse to die here. Listen, Armin You told me about it. So I have to see it. The outside world!" Eren tries to move out of the Titan's mouth as he sees his friend also trying to reach out to him "Eren! Hurry!" Armin yells.

Slash!

Armin looks up and sees a chunk of the Titan's flesh flying off. Dusk/Link killed the Titan. Armin watched it fall to the ground as he let out a shrieking scream not even sure if Eren survive the fall or not. Dusk/Link made his way down to the now dissolving bearded Titan to find Eren out of it's mouth, alive, but covered in it's saliva "Nothing damaged?" Eren looked at Link/Dusk with a disgusted expression on his face "The drool didn't gunk up the ODM gear and none of my limbs are broken, I'm good." Link/Dusk smirk in satisfaction "Then you did good." he complemented to him. Eren couldn't help but to smirk too, only to be replace with a frown as he and Link/Dusk spotted two remaining Twilight Beast around the area. "Let's go, we're still venerable down here." Eren quickly replies "Right." as he fallows Link/Dusk back up on the roof where Armin is waiting, only to find the said person is no longer there anymore. "Wha- Where did Armin go?!"

Link/Dusk looks around, and there, out in the far side of south-west of the city was another group squad. "Eren, your friend is safe. Look there." he points out towards the direction of the squad "There's another squad not so far from us, they must have got Armin out of the why while we were still down there." Eren let out a sigh of relief, Link/Dusk turns to him and says "Eren... I think now's the time to discus what's going on and the secrets I've been holding back." Eren was surprise at this, as the sky becomes darker with gray clouds he listen to everything Link has to say to him about his home land, the evil king who send him and Dawn/Zelda to this place, what the evil man has in mind for taking over their land and that he'll come here to finish where he had left off three years ago.

With wherever Armin is at the moment

Armin is paralyzes with fear and shock. He couldn't think or see or even remember how he got from one roof top to another far away from the one he was on witnessing his best friend's sacrifice. "Hey!" someone was calling "Hey!" calling to who? "What's wrong, Armin?!" To... him...? "Pull yourself together! Hey! Armin! Hey, Armin! Hey!" Armin finally sees who calling to him, it was Connie and he wasn't alone Ymir and Crista was there too and some two other cadets as well. Connie continues to get Armin into focus again. "You with me?! You okay?! Are you all right? Where's your squad? Squad? Oh, man. Pull yourself together. Why are you all by yourself? Plus you're all wet and slimy" wipes the wet substance off of himself "What the hell happened?"

"You're so useless! Just die already!" Armin wasn't sure who he was yelling at, Connie or himself? Connie brought his hands up in surrender "Whoa! Calm down, Armin! Damn it! Where is everyone?!" Ymir cuts in "Give it a rest, Connie. They've been wiped out. All but him." Connie snaps at the freckled girl "Shut up! Armin hasn't said anything!" Ymir points out the fact around them. "Just look around. It's obvious. We don't got any more time to waste on him." "Why is he the only one who's okay?" Connie asked.

Ymir shrugs and said with false caring "Beats me. Maybe they thought he was a corpse? It sucks that they ran into multiple Titans and that only this underachiever made it out alive. Eren, Dusk and the others worked hard for nothing." That set Connie off as he got up at Ymir and yells "You bitch! Want me to make it so you never talk again?!" Crista saw the moment to step in and stop her friends from taring each other apart "Stop it, you two! We're all shaken up here! All our friends are suddenly dying left and right! It's natural we're upset!" Ymir raped her arm around Crista and said "That's my Christa! Marry me when this is over!"

Connie let out a somewhat of a sigh of disappointment, as he still tries to help Armin and continues where he left off "Yeah She is clowning around more than usual. Anyways, we can't stay here. Can you stand, Armin?!" Armin finally got the voice to speak "I'm sorry for the trouble." Armin stood up and started to leave, not before saying "I'll rendezvous with the rearguard." and then launched off the roof. Connie "Hey Armin!" Two cadets call out to Connie "Let's go, Connie!" "We've been ordered to advance!" Connie looks back at where Armin went off before turning back to his squad.

As Armin flies by the buildings he starts to recall everything from his childhood to the present he is now facing , and how he feels so useless and that he needs his friends to protect him. 'This is hell No, it hasn't become hell. I was just mistaken until now. This world has always been hell, from the very start. The strong prey on the weak. It's such a simple, straightforward world. It's just, my friends. They tried to be strong in this world. They helped me, someone who was weak. I couldn't bear it They saw me as someone who needed to be protected. I wanted to live in this world like them, I wanted to be strong and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them. And this is the result. Because of me, Eren wound up-' Armin stop is train of thought for he saw someone down on the ground, he move over to whoever is there. It was Hanna.

"Hanna What are you doing?" He asked, Hanna look up with tears streaming down her face and pleaded "Armin! Help! Franz isn't breathing! I've tried resuscitating him over and over and over but it's not working!" It obvious to why Franz isn't responding, his lower half of his body was missing as a lot of his organs, guts and blood spilled out onto the ground. You could even see the rib and spine bones in there if anyone can take a closer look. Armin tries to convince Hanna to get to higher ground "It's dangerous down here, Hanna. You need to get on a roof-" but she just snaps at him "I can't just leave Franz like this!" Hanna deluded herself into believing that Franz was only unconscious, and not dead. "You don't understand, Hanna Franz is-" Seeing that it was no use to make her come to her senses, Armin stumbled back placing his hand on his upper face close to his forehead and mutters "Please stop this I-I can't take this anymore I can't!" in distress panic.

Meanwhile with Dawn and her group

"H-Hey, now! Don't you guys realize how bad the situation is?!" a civilian yells out in panic anger "Yeah! That's why we're doin' this! And if you guys wanna live, you'll give us some damn help!" The merchant yells back at the people to push his heavy loaded cart that was blocking the only road way to get out of the district. Cries rang out in protest. "The hell with that!" "It's gonna get stuck!" "Letting people through comes first!" "We're all gonna get eaten standing here!" One man pushes a solider forward hoping that he could do something about it. "What are you doing, soldier?! Go get 'em!" "B-But." The solider tries to stand up, but the merchant greedy ways of manipulating countered the soldier's actions "Just try it, small fry! I'm the boss of this town's merchant association!" "Uhh, err" The solider couldn't come up with a comeback "Who do you think pays for the meals you soldiers shit out?! Do you have the money to provide for the soldiers in this town?!" He speaks out to everyone else "Push, all of you! This cargo's worth more than you can earn in your entire measly lives! Help, and you'll be rewarded!" Farther in the back of the crowd, two girls, a mother trying to sooth her young daughter "It'll be okay. Your dad's going to use his cannons to make the Titans go away." The daughter saw something behind her mom. "Mom. Over there." The little girl pointed down the long road, a solder was walking aimlessly when the sounds of thunder roar louder as a abnormal Titan ran so girly-like towards the crowded people.*

The Merchant Man shouts to everyone "Push! Push if you don't wanna die!" Cries of "Stop!" and "The children!" rand though the air "Damn! Why is it ignoring us?!" "It's an Abnormal! No point trying to figure it out! It's fast! Not even we elites can catch up to it! At this rate!" The solder in talking was cut short when he thought it was Ackerman who passed him, but it turned out to be Dawn who snagged the Abnormal Titan by the upper back of the nape and cut out it's weak point, and the human giant fell to it's knees, or face, dead. After landing on the Titans head, Dawn showed a look of surprise of how many people that had not yet been evacuated and ask "What are you doing?"

The man who is the cause of the situation here, made his presents known to Dawn and Mikasa, who came in behind Dawn muttering about how she was going to kill the Abnormal, "Oh, perfect timing! Get these guys to help me! I'll make it worth your while!" Mikasa pointed her blade behind her and said "My comrades are dying as we speak. They're fighting and dying because the citizens haven't finished evacuating." The same man replies "Of course they are! It's your duty to give your hearts to defend the lives and property of the people! Don't go gettin' a big head now that you freeloaders have somethin' to do after a century of uselessness!" Dawn couldn't believe of this man, this ungrateful greedy man who cares more about his wealth safety more than the lives of the people around him.

Dawn hop off the dissolving Titan, everyone made a clear path for her to get to the Merchant "The lives of everyone here are at risk, should word of how they all dies at the hands of the Titans by your own fault for blocking their only way out gets spread, Then you shall punish you for your actions. If you feel people dying for other people is a matter of course, then I'm sure you'll understand that a single, precious life can often save the lives of many as well. Just you try it! Your employer and I go way back! One word from me and he'll be all over your sorry ass!" Two of his goons came running at her, but the Princess dismissed them with a small stunning shock spell when she jabbed the two with her blades reverse. It was then Mikasa backed her up "How can a dead body talk?"

By holding her own blade close to his neck threating to end the man's life right there and now "Wait!" One of his lackeys question what their next should be "S-Sir!" Seeing no other way out of this mess, the greedy merchant declared his men to pull the cart out. As everyone rushes to the exits, the little girl look up to Dawn and said "Thanks, lady! You really saved the day." Dawn smiled to the sweet girl "Think nothing of it little one, I'm just glad you are alright." The girl's mother pleases to her "You have our gratitude!" She then turns her attention to Mikasa "As well as you too, madam." The two women gave them their salute as the joined with the rest of the evacuation members.

"Good work taking it down, Lanayru and Ackermann. Very impressive." They turn to their commander "Thank you, Sir." though Mikasa also said "However I'm afraid I inadvertently dulled my blades during the attack. I will be more careful next time." He asked out loud "Just what have you had to live through? No, never mind." Mikasa looks up at the sky and thought to herself 'Why am I reminded of it at a time like this?' she recalls the day her parents died and how that it was Eren who saved her by killing two of the kidnapper thugs, and how the third one jumped him and how she killed him to save Eren. After that Eren and his father let her to stay with them as part of their family. 'A cruel world in which only the victors are allowed to live.' Mikasa thought as she sliced another Titan down with her blades.

Bells rang in the distance Ian, one of the members in their squad, shouted "Time to withdraw, Ackermann! Lanayru! Let's scale the wall!" Mikasa denies and said "I'll go assist the vanguard's retreat!" as she headed off to find Eren "H-Hey, Ackermann!" Ian cries out to her, Dawn goes after her "I'll try to get her back." this even shock Ian more "Lanayru, you too!" As Mikasa rushes towards to where she hope to find her beloved Eren, she continues to think about her place in this hell 'But I do have a place to call home in this world now. Eren. As long as I have you, I can do anything.'

Just as Mikasa finishes her thoughts a huge explosion went off, turn their heads towards where the sound came from the ground level of the supplied tower burst into the air. Dawn called out to Mikasa "I'm going to see what happened." Mikasa made no acknowledgement of hearing what Dawn had to say as the young woman changed her direction. As Dawn got close to the Tower she saw something that nearly made her heart stop. The Twilight Beast had found an underground spring, but not just any spring. It was the Light Spirit's spring.

They had already taken the Spirit's light, and plunged the area all over the district of Trost into Twilight.
