AOT: I’m Not Okay with How This Ends: Let’s Change That

Captain Erwin kept a stoic expression, his mind racing through potential strategies. A soldier ran up to him in urgency. "Captain Erwin! We need orders to evacuate citizens from the wall!"

Erwin's piercing gaze met the soldier's, his voice calm but commanding. "Summon Captain Hange immediately. She's to establish barricades to hold the Titans at bay if the wall is breached. Assign Garrison officers to lead civilians to safety. Move quickly."

The soldier saluted and darted off, leaving Erwin to glance toward Niikaz. She knelt on the ground, her breathing labored.

"How are you holding up?" he asked, his voice softening slightly.

"I need time," Niikaz admitted, her eyes shut tightly as she attempted to conserve energy. "Absorbing the Colossal Titan's power took a toll on me."

Erwin gave a slight nod, his resolve unshaken. "Recover quickly. We'll need your strength before this is over".

Meanwhile, on the frontline, Captain Mike Zacharias took deep breaths, his heightened sense of smell picking up on the overwhelming stench of Titans. He grimaced, gripping his blades tightly. "Something's off. These abnormals are moving in irregular patterns," he muttered, his sharp instincts already formulating a plan.

"Levi," he called, his voice carrying over the chaos, "we've got too many abnormals mixed in with the regular Titans.

Levi stood a short distance away, his eyes cold and calculating as he assessed the situation. "Yeah, I can see it too," he replied curtly.

Just then, Hange Zoe zipped toward them, her energy frenetic as always. "Levi! We're out of time. The Titans are heading for the inner wall!"

"Tch," Levi muttered under his breath. "Mike, handle the pure Titans. I'll take care of her," he said, his sharp eyes fixed on the Female Titan.

Mike nodded, his usual confidence unwavering. "Don't take too long. Her screams are drawing more of them."

"Don't worry.....It won't take longer than you think" Levi said that while he was looking down at female titan like a contagious virus. Just thinking about what happened to his squad in the future makes him hate her more.

Turning to Levi's squad, Levi's tone was sharp. "Petra, Oluo, Gunther, Jinn—head to the inner wall. Don't let those Titans get through."

Oluo hesitated, looking back at Levi. "Are you sure? We can't just leave you here alone."

Petra cut in, her voice steady and calming. "Captain Levi knows what he's doing. We need to trust him."

With that, the squad moved out, though Oluo grumbled as they flew toward the inner wall.

On the way, Mike's senses remained on high alert. "The smell's getting worse," he said, his tone grim. "There's a swarm of them ahead."

Gunther nodded, his serious demeanor unwavering. "We'll have to split up. There's no way we can take them all down together."

"Split up?" Oluo scoffed. "Let's make it more interesting. How about we see who can kill the most Titans?"

Jinn raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "You think this is a game, Oluo?"

"Don't tell me you're scared," Oluo smirked, his arrogance shining through.

Gunther sighed, his tone measured. "Focus. We don't have time for your antics."

Petra, exasperated, groaned. "Oluo, stop being an idiot! This isn't the time for your nonsense!"

But the situation escalated as one of the abnormals leapt unpredictably, its speed catching Petra off guard. Mike swooped in, slicing through the Titan in one clean motion.

"Eyes up," he said gruffly, his senses attuned to the battlefield. "These abnormals are faster and unpredictable. Stay sharp."

As the squad continued, the Titans' numbers seemed endless, their unpredictable movements challenging even the most experienced soldiers. From above, Hange worked with the Garrison, shouting orders and coordinating barricades.

Back at the breach, Levi remained locked in a deadly dance with the Female Titan. Each move was calculated, his blades flashing as he searched for an opening.
