"Some attention has been diverted, but many remain unaware of the breach on the Eastern side," Jetfire reported over the comms. He circled the city high above the clouds. "I've been jamming their communications. Word of mouth is the only way they're passing information now," he added.
Starscream adjusted his targeting systems. He dipped the nose of his plane down and unloaded his guns. He unleashed a storm of firepower.
A squad of soldiers on the ground barely had time to react before the rounds tore through them. Their bodies flung backward and dropped to the ground. There was a large pool of blood.
He pulled up. The engines screamed as he ascended rapidly. "These insects lack advanced technology," he sneered.
Meanwhile, Blackout's voice crackled over the comms. "We are in position at the North-West section of Wall Maria," he said.
From inside the Blackhawk, Annie exhaled sharply, stepping toward the edge. "Finally," she muttered. She held the handle and swung the door open. She felt the wind rushing against her face.
Starscream's voice cut in again. "Danger close," he said as he descended sharply. His metal frame sliced through the air. He aimed for the lower section of the wall once again.
Starscream then fired. Four missiles streaked forward. They went through the air and slammed into the wall. The wall trembled, the explosion tore through stone. It sent splinters and rubble raining down.
"You're up," Annie said as she looked at the destruction he was causing. It reminded her of him.
Bertholdt nodded. "I am," he said as he jumped from the helicopter. He plummeted down towards the wall.
Bertholdt bit down hard. He felt blood surging through his veins. His body tensed, his muscles coiling, as a violent heat exploded from within him. A golden-white glow erupted from his body. There was an instantaneous flash. The light expanded, Bertholdt's body began to unravel, his flesh melted away. A pillar of steam shot into the sky. It roared like a volcanic explosion.
From within the cloud, Bertholdt's colossal frame took shape, his body stretched and expanded. His skeletal foundation was reconstructed. His legs grew first. They were long and dense. The muscle fibers hardened. His bone structure shifted as layers of red-hot flesh wrapped around his growing limbs. His torso expanded, his rib cage stretched, his spine elongated, his massive shoulders took shape. There was roaring steam pouring from his body.
His arms, elongated. Then, finally, his head took form. It was skinless. He had hollow eyes
The steam began to clear. He was 60 metres tall.
The Colossal Titan looked over the wall. His hollow eyes looked down at the weakened structure. There was steam pouring from his muscles.
He swung his massive foot forward, the sheer force splintering the stone upon impact. The lower section of Wall Maria trembled, its ancient foundation groaning under the devastating strike. There were already cracks from the previous attack. The cracks expanded, spreading like spiderwebs.
A massive section crumbled once again. The avalanche of thick stone bricks tumbled downward. It left a hole wide enough for an army of Titans to pour through unhindered.
Through the dense mist of destruction, the Colossal Titan exhaled. His breath released waves of blistering heat. His transformation began to unravel. Steam billowed outward. His muscle fibers retracted, his form shrunk. The energy drained rapidly into the thick cloud of vapor.
Bertholdt emerged. He was kneeling and panting. There was sweat dripping from his face.
He looked up to see Annie had jumped out.
Annie bit down. Her teeth tore through the flesh of her thumb and an explosive surge of energy rippled through her veins.
There was a golden-white flash. The very air trembling beneath the force of her transformation.
A pillar of steam shot skyward. Within the dense fog, her body melted away, her human body dissolved. The transformation rushed forward. Her skeleton elongated, twisted and reshaped itself. Her legs extended first. The muscles got dense. Her calves thickened and her tendons tightened. Her bones stretched until they reached monstrous proportions. Then her torso followed. She felt her spine elongated. Her chest expanded outward into a sleek, defined frame.
Her arms grew. Her fingers formed into hardened claws. Her head solidified. Her skinless face took shape and became feminine. The eyes were wide and cold. The Female Titan stood at 14 metres height in front of the hole in the wall. She let out a loud scream.
Nearby titans looked up and heard the scream and charged towards the direction. The Female titan rushed in and the titans followed.
Blackout landed and picked up Bertholdt. Bertholdt sat on a seat. "Are you okay?" Hisashi asked.
"I am," Bertholdt responded. "That takes a little out of me," he responded.
"It is powerful enough to destroy the wall," Yuuki remarked. "It took both Misuzu and Reiner in that big form to destroy it," she added. She smiled at Bertholdt. She thought he could be fun as well.
At that moment, Blackout took to the sky and flew through the hole. It was now in the city. "We are heading to the Wall Rose," he said.
Jetfire circled the city. "There are more of those titans coming into the city. The forces are dealing with them right now," he reported.
The Female Titan rushed forward. She was moving fast despite her huge size. The ground beneath her rumbled. She tore through the cobblestone streets and left deep craters behind her.
She saw a row of houses in front of her. She swung her arm outward and hit the house. The building was destroyed. The wooden beams splintered instantly and roofing collapsed inward. The debris was scattered into the air.
The Female Titan looked and saw several soldiers in yellow jackets. She lunged forward and grabbed two two soldiers in her hand. She hurled them away. Their bodies flung through the air, and crashed into the remains of the shattered homes.
Another squadron rushed toward her. However the Female Titan was faster. She swung her fists and hit the ground. The force was so immense that the earth ruptured beneath her. It sent soldiers flying in all directions.
The Female Titan plowed through another row of houses. Her hands tore through stone and wood. She could see the wall ahead of them.
She stopped in front of the wall and saw the Armoured Titan approaching her from the left. He nodded.
"Starscream, hit the Rose Wall," Jetfire commanded over the comms.
Starscream gritted his teeth, irritation flickering across his systems. "I know, old man," he snapped back.
Without hesitation, he descended sharply. His engines roared as he cut through the skies. Starscream opened his missile bay. The mechanical components whirried into position. He aimed for the lower section of the wall.
Then, he fired. Four missiles streaked forward. The missiles went through the air and hit the wall. The explosions struck in succession. The wall shuddered. A massive crack had formed.
Dust and splintered debris erupted, filling the air with a dense choking cloud.
Then the Female Titan and Armored Titan charged forward. Their colossal forms barreled towards the weakened section. They rammed their bodies against the wall and shattered the wall. An enormous chunk of derby tumbled inwards and landed on the ground.
A gaping hole was created.
The Female Titan took a step forward however the Armored Titan put his hand on her shoulder.
She turned slightly and nodded. With a sharp intake of breath, she tilted her head back and screamed. Her shriek was deafening and echoed across the city.
Then, both Titans stepped away and ran backwards.
Misuzu smiled and looked at the flames. She looked at the titan eating a person. She was screaming in terror and cried. She smiled wider and flew back. She thought the Goddess would be pleased.
