SHRINK
The golden thunder shines, casting a shadow over Armin.
Looking at the sudden appearance of the colossal titan, Armin stood petrified, his thoughts paused and breath halted.
The soldiers, who were stationed over the wall, had gotten the strict instruction to shoot any titan that approached the wall, but now, seeing the colossal titan appearing out of thin air, they all stood still, looking stupefied, unable to comprehend the emergence of his being.
The colossal titan, who suddenly arrives, opens his closed eyes; his gaze lands on the small figure of Armin.
Arghh
Who terrified screams.
The cry of his seems to break the standstill, causing some of the soldiers to point the cannon head over the colossal titan, ready to shoot at him, but before they can pull the trigger, a high-pressure steam discharges from the colossal titan's body, causing all of them to be flipped and thrown down from the wall.
As Armin starts falling down, in panic he hurriedly uses his ODM gear, causing the wire to latch in the wall, making him hang from the wall. While some soldiers using their quick response saved themselves, some didn't get so lucky.
Armin looks down in horror at the ruptured bodies of the soldiers who were not able to save themselves.
This sudden turn of events causes his mind to spin, unable to comprehend what is going on.
Since the unexpected appearance of the Colossal Titan, the chaos inside the Trost district has fallen silent.
The previous civilians who were in panic and the soldiers who were rapidly moving using the ODM gear all stopped and got muted.
The terrified screams of the victims of the earlier explosion all die down.
For a moment everyone looks up at the colossal titan, who peeks from the top of the wall.
Looking at the high walls surrounding them, likely being confined, the overlooking form of the colossal titan looks like a predator looking at his caged prey.
Wahhhh
The deafening silence was suddenly disturbed by the scream of a terrified child.
Shattering the stillness, someone first took a step back, and then in tandem, some others also moved back, trying to move away from the figure of the colossal titan.
Soon, the small step back turned into a full panic sprint; everyone started to run, the terrified wails resounded, panic resurfaced, and the chaos resumed.
The one behind this mayhem, the colossal titan, looks at everything with cold eyes, his being filled with destruction.
Then the still titan lifts his hand, causing great momentum with every movement. The colossal titan then places his hands over the wall and picks up the cannons from there.
Looking at the tiny pieces of cannon, which look like toys in his hand, he grips them, and then with a sudden swift pull, drawing his hand back like a drawn bow, gathering power, he then unleashes his massive arm, firing the cannons down in the Trost district.
Swiss
Tearing through the air, the cannons flew through the sky and landed on the mass of the people below.
The heavy pieces of the metal spread, claiming the lives of civilians and the military soldiers.
Terrified screams and wails of agony resounded throughout the place, like the cries of a lamb running from a hunter.
Repeating the action, the Colossal Titan picks up another handful of cannons and again shoots them at the masses below.
The terrified people look up at the sky, and seeing the rain of the metals, they immediately rush to take cover in the buildings.
A military soldier ran behind the cover of a wall, having a sigh of relief thinking that he saved himself, but the next second—
Boom
A cannon shell tears through the wall alongside his body.
Similarly, even after hiding inside the building and taking cover behind the walls, some pieces of the cannon still caught them; the heavy metal bulldozed through every obstacle, making every place unsafe.
Destruction spread like any other; the cannons, which were placed over the walls for their safety, were now used for their own demise.
And like that wasn't enough, while throwing the cannons, the Colossal Titan suddenly pulls his leg back and, like a sledgehammer strike, hits it at the gate of the Trost district; the broken pieces of the wooden gate and the debris from the wall are hurled through the air, further spreading the destruction.
Looking at the hole in the Trost district, a soldier presents their despair.
...
A shadow enters through the now broken gate; a 15-meter-tall female titan with blonde hair emerges, gazing at the disarray.
Roar~
She screams, which sounded like a war cry; following that, figure after figure started to enter through the broken gate.
Abnormal Titans with smiling faces pour inside, looking at the delicacy of people running everywhere; they seem to squeal in delight.
...
Crunch
The sound of people getting crushed inside the jaws of the pure titan.
Arghhh
The painful wails of a soldier getting broken in half by the flying pieces of the cannons.
This symphony of apocalypse falls in the ear of Armin, who shuts his eyes and clamps his hand around his head, covering his ear so he can't hear anything.
'Why? Why is all of this happening?' Armin shrinks in fear.
...
'Why? Can't we live in peace?' His body trembles slightly.
...
Sniff
...
'Why? Why do the titans attack the wall?' A silent sob escapes his lips.
...
Sniff
...
Sniff
....
Sniff
....
'I am so pathetic.'
...
Sniff
...
Sniff
...
'I am always crying.'
...
Sniff
...
'Why can't I stand up for myself?'
...
'Every time I got bullied, Eren and Mikasa helped.'
...
Sniff
...
'Can't I, for once, stand up for myself?'
...
'Can't I at least, for once, face everything without cowering behind others?'
...
Armin slowly removes his hand from his head; opening his watery eyes, he looks at the burning scene of the Trost district, the titans rummaging through the houses, people getting eaten, and people getting crushed by the cannon and the debris thrown by the Colossal Titan.
'I am truly pathetic.'
...
'The whole world is burning.'
Armin looks at a small child who cries sitting at the corpse of his mother.
'People are dying, and I am still crying.'
...
People run desperately as a group of titans chase behind them.
Suddenly a child falls down. Seeing this, his older brother, who runs ahead, stops and looks at the crying face of his little brother. He runs back, arriving by his side, and shields him behind his back. Tears run down from the eyes of both brothers, trying to survive desperately.
As the looming hand of a smiling titan reaches towards them, impending their doom.
Slice
A sudden gust of wind rushes past them, slicing through the hand of the titan.
A soldier arrives by their side.
"Hurry up!!! Run away from here!!" The soldier immediately helps the brother get up and urges them to escape from there.
...
Armin watches all of this.
...
The soldier burns with resolve; watching both brothers successfully run away from there, he sighs in relief, then looking at numbers of titans rushing towards him, he tightly grips his ODM blade, and with a breath of determination, he lunges at the titans, rushing through their group, slicing through his fears, he cuts one titan after another.
...
He watches all of this.
The scene of a soldier bravely dancing with death.
The undefeated spirit of another soldier as he diverts the attention of the titan, luring them away from the crowd of people.
Armin watches all of this.
'I will not cry anymore.' He wipes the tears from his eyes.
'I will never cower behind anyone.' Vowing in his heart, he unsheathed the blades.
Armin looks above, at the colossal titan, who continues to throw the destruction.
A fire of determination burns in his eyes.
'I will fight.'
Swiss
Firing his ODM gear, he flew upwards toward the colossal titan.
'I will fight.'
With a roar of defiance, Armin runs on the wall and leaps; the nonexistent wings take him to the sky.
Looking at the colossal titan, who stood, his hand pulled behind his back.
Arghhh
Armin roars, his blade drawn, pulled behind his back.
He lunges at the Colossal Titan.
