In the year 850

Humankind reclaimed lands from the Titans for the first time since their appearance some hundred odd years before

The cost however was great

You who stayed. you are now one of us allow me to welcome you to the Scout regiment

This is a genuine salute soldiers together we give our hearts

Sir

Those of you standing here have worked through your fear

You've proven yourselves courageous

Each one of you has my respect

One short month later

Led by Erwin Smith, the Scout regiment set out

Leaving the relative comfort and safety of Karanes district

They sought to carve a rout to Shiganshina

The place believed to hold the Titans secrets

[Erwin]: It's officially begun, the 57 recon mission

Scouts move out!

Female Titan

[Hange]: We've got a 10-meter closing in from the west

Oh! wanna know what's going around in that glorious belly

Never-mind let the support squad do their job.

Damn, too shallow

Just focus on defending the ranks

Eyes front

Their job's to handle it, yours is to keep moving

Forward

Ride for all you're worth

They'll only have our backs till we clear the city ruins

Everything beyond that will be uninterrupted Titan territory

We'll be more or less on our own

The only thing to fall back on out there is commander Erwin's long-range scouting formation

The special ops squad will be positioned here

Loaded question, be straight with me,

You think my friends have a shot at taking down a Titan?

Really? I should certainly hope so otherwise what the hell have they been training for?

Now listen and listen well, prepared or not you're all Scouts

Which means the time is nigh to choke back those fears and-

Long range formation, let's go

[Reiner]: See you around. Good luck.

[Jean]: Do us a favor, if you run into one of them don't piss yourself.

[Armin]: yeah same goes for you.

The long-range scouting formation is a forward facing semicircle

We'll be positioned relative to one another at equal intervals within view of signal fire on all sides

The idea is to extend our spotting at signal range as far as possible

Stay calm, you're alright

You can bet the lucky bastards riding in the front-row spotting-squads will see a lot of Titans

These second one comes into view Lock and Load

Alert your nearest comrade with a red smoke signal

They in turn will alert there nearest comrades by doing the same and so on

Once the commander feels he has a decent read on the Titans position he'll be fired off a green smoke signal

At the sight of one, the platoon is to reroute accordingly

The fewer Titans confronted head-on en route to our goal the better

We'll need all the able bodies we can spare the name of the game then is evasion

Now keep in mind this isn't a foolproof strategy

The terrain is wild plenty of places for the enemy to lie in ambush

[Sasha]: Red smoke, have to fire-

Blouse! over here!

Damn the spotters missed a live one!

I say we lure it in our direction

Blouse, cross back over to us

Break away I'll take care of it

Sir

Sorry

It's all right it's out return to your position

Something feels off it's been too long since the last red signal

And information still all over the map

Wait

Keep in mind too, this whole approach assumes will be dealing largely with normals

Titans whose behavior is predictable

Black smoke!

There is a Titan ignoring the outliers and making a b-line for the center

That can only mean

An abnormal

If one or more of those show up I'm afraid we'll have no choice but to engage

Son of a--

Well there's no help for it I guess,

Heads up, the nape is all yours okay

I'll go for the legs

You got it!

ODM gear's worth squat on level ground

I'm not exactly thrilled about our odds here

But hell, we can't let it break up the formation

Arlert's up ahead at my ten o'clock, isn't he

I'm not letting a rookie face this bastard alone

It's now or never

All yours, Cis!

Way to go, nicely done, Ness!

Not so bad

Hey ,hey! nothing scares you huh

That's my little darling Charrette!

Not again

What the hell are the right-wing spotters doing back there?

Looks like we've got another abnormal on our hands it's not their fault

I hate these things

Fine, one more for the road then, right

Damn it

Someone mind telling me what we did to deserve two in a row?

Bad enough it's an abnormal, it's gotta be 14-meters

This is gonna be a pain in the ass

It's moving so fast

Too fast!

We have to keep it clear of Arlert, Cis!

On it

Did that really just happened?

We're not dealing with an abnormal this thing showing intelligence

Like the Colossal, like Eren,

It's a human being wrapped in a Titan body

But who, Why?

What am I gonna do?

I'm dead!

I'm so dead!

Go! Make a break for it

Why is it--

No, Why are they...

Doing this?

Somebody...tell the others

The right-wing spotters are all wiped out

Tell Commander Erwin

That the female Titan brought a horde with her

Is anyone left?

It has to be someone

This doesn't making any sense why didn't it...

Why didn't it kill me?

It pulled back my hood

Looked at...my...

Why would it need to check my face

[Reiner]: Armin

[Armin]: Reiner

Hey...can you ride?

What the hell are you doing

This is full-blown Titan country you can't be without a horse, climb on

I came as fast as I could when I saw the black smoke nice ass for an abnormal you got to admit

It's not an abnormal, it's a person controlling a Titan body

Wait what

I'll explain in a second we need to fire up a signal to warn the others

C'mon, work you piece of garbage

It's an emergency

hey it's alright

Looks like Jean's got your covered

Oh man that's not good

The right-wing spotters have suffered too many casualties to carry on

Yeah apparently most of them were out by a Titan ambush

I don't know how it happened but it was bad sons of bitches were lightning-fast

The spotters didn't have time to react whoever's left is trying to hold them off

But that means now there's no one on Lookout duty

Talk about a setback right

If we don't watch ourselves we're all gonna get wiped out

Wait she came from that direction

Does that mean...could she have led the Titans here like a commander

Who her?

Why the hell's she running from us by the way?

Is she an abnormal?

No she isn't, we still don't know how it's possible but

She's another human who's taken Titan form

Someone who has the same power as Eren-

Please say you're not serious

Really? why do you think that?

Titans eat people but they're not murderers

Sure the kill us in the process but that's not their intent They just feed on instinct like any creature

This one was different

When the others went for her nape she struck them down in cold blood

Swatted them like flies

She didn't eat them she killed them and moved on

That's out of character even for an abnormal

The Titans that took out the right wing, I think she brought them here

Just like the Colossal and the Armored when they struck

I just know it

She's not simply satisfying blood-lust, She has it in for us

Or perhaps more specifically I think she's actually after someone in particular

At which point the question becomes who? and why?

Hey wait a second, could it be Eren?

Eren?

He's with Levi's squad

They're spearheading the right wing

Or...they were

Wait Levi's team

I'm pretty sure you're wrong there big guy

My copy of the plan had them in the left wing

That's odd because my copy of the plan had them at the front of the right wing to

Which now that I think about it doesn't make sense

Putting them at the vanguard like that wouldn't be smart strategically

Then, where exactly are they supposed to be?

Come on, where else, the safest position in the formation

Which I assume at least

Would be rear at the center rank

Armin, now it's not the time to be chasing our own tails about this

We got to get word out how dangerous this one is, smoke signals aren't gonna cut it

At this rate she'll cut down the command squad

We let that happen, the formation goes to hell and we all die

You have a plan?

More of a wing and a prayer look we've gotta try and distract her

So the platoon has a chance to retreat

If we're careful from this distance we should be able to manage it

And make it out alive

Maybe anyway

She's smarter than the ones we usually deal with

You can take my word for it

From her perspective we're little more than insects

One swipe at that arm and we're all flattened

Is that a fact?

What a terrifying thought

Seriously, what have you done with "the real Jean"

No offense, man, but the one I knew could only be counted on to look out for himself

Your people skills need work

Believe me friend, I'm still all about number one

I just don't want to end up a pile of bones and no one knows were mine

Thing is, I get it now

I get what needs to be done if we're going to survive this fight

And last I checked, nobody forced us to take on this position

Now are you with me or not?

Pull your hood all the way over so it covers you

She won't try to kill you if she can't see your face

If she's looking for someone specific she won't blow us down unless she knows for sure we're not them

Good idea,

As far as she knows any one of us can be Eren underneath this getup

That's actually kind of an encouraging thought

Hey you never know maybe we'll get lucky and she'll be near-sighted to boot

Not gonna lie

The way you clung to Eren like a security blanket all the time used to really creep me out

but I always knew you were a brilliant

Okay, thank you

Not exactly sure how I ought to take that, but Thanks

She slowed a bit since she first came to us

Tired maybe, let's hope. she speeds up we lose her

We have to do this now, before she gets her wind back

Okay guys, like we discussed,

Lure her away from the others so they have a chance to get out of here

Keep her on our trail for as long as possible

Give the rest of the platoon plenty of time

Slicing her Achilles tendon should do the trick I think

Nothing crazy

If she's what Armin says

We need her alive

She's aware of her soft spots are still defended

No run-of-the-mill nightmare this one

Killing her is out of the question

Well, it would be for normal people anyway, so let's just focus on keeping her distracted

When the time comes, maybe they could take her down

[Jean]: Armin

[Jean]: The moves on this one

She's like a damn athletics, we're so screwed

Didn't think this through

What, she's protecting her weak spot?

[Reiner]: Jean

Damn it, there is nothing I can do

I'm a dead man

She's gonna yank my wire and--

[Armin]: Jean, don't let that suicidal maniac die in vain

What the-

Why did she stop?

She did it she's the one who killed him

I told him the right wing was suicide but he went along anyway

And now he's dead thanks to her

What the hell's going on

Of all the times for Armin to get the sense knocked out of him, what's he talking about

Reiner?

She crushed my best friend I saw it with my own eyes

His entrails were stuck to the bottom of her foot

He's going straight for the nape

Of course!

Now's his chance, while she's focused on Armin!

Oh no!

NO

No...Reiner

Oh God

That beautiful bastard

Mikasa been hogging so much of the limelight these days,

I'd let myself forget how much of a badass he is

Odds are that bought the platoon more than enough time

I say we follow suit and get out of here

She doesn't have an appetite for people like you say I'm guessing she's not gonna follow us

Alright looks like she's in retreat

Poor thing's running home and her tail between her legs

What...wait...no

She's headed for the center rank

She's...she's going for Eren

Monster advances even the Scout regiment for all its training and skill cannot

bring its newest folk to heal until at last in a forest of giant trees she catches sight of her go
