Prologue
The Beast Titan hurled another wave of rocks directly towards the Scout regiment. The front lines were hit and suffered extreme losses.
Captain Levi leapt for cover, as did a new face. A woman, no older than Eren, took cover beside a short girl with raven black hair. The woman placed her arm protectively around her.
Once the last bits of debris settled, the woman raised herself up.
"You okay, Mina?"
Mina let out a sigh of relief.
"Yeah… what about you, Lilly?"
"Golden." Lilly replied as she rose to her feet, glaring directly at the Beast Titan.
"What're you thinking?" Mina asked, noticing a familiar glint in Lilly's eye.
Without a word, Lilly turned heel and headed for Erwin.
"Lilly!" Mina called after her as another wave of rocks impacted the surrounding buildings, causing the small girl to duck for cover.
Lilly continued to walk towards Erwin, overhearing a bit of the conversation between him and Levi before Erwin's attention shifted to Lilly.
"Hm?"
"Sir." Lilly saluted. "I understand the situation is quite fucked, but I have a plan, in addition to Levi's sneak attack! If you'll hear me out."
"Go ahead, soldier."
Lilly explained her idea to the Captain and Commander, earning surprised looks from them both.
"So, you're…" Erwin paused to think. He then turned to his soldiers. "Right, then. Soldiers!" He stepped forward, blade high to gather their attention.
As the Beast Titan prepared another hard ball, it paused as the Scouts began to rush directly towards him.
"Hm? So, you want to die honorably by charging head first into death." The Beast stated.
As he pulled back, Lilly brought her hand to her lips and bit down, right to the bone.
A bolt of yellow lightning struck her, hesitating the Beast Titan once more as a female titan now began to charge towards him.
"What?!"
Throwing another wave of rocks, the female titan suddenly stopped as it put its right arm in front of itself. A blue shield emerged from the arm, covering its entire torso and protecting the scouts.
"Enough of my comrades have died this day!" Lilly shouted inside her titan. "I'm tired of burying my friends!"
With an ear piercing roar, Lilly continued her charge, the scouts following right behind her.
