Titans to the left of her, titans to the right of her. Killing them was easy, but keeping any strays from reaching Eren was proving to be troublesome. Eren was a bigger target than her, attracting more and more pure titans to him regardless of how many times Carmen swerved and intercepted the them. It was a constant battle to gain their attention and keep them all in the far corner of Shiganshina.

What made it worse was the fact that Bertholdt was on a rampage, kicking down houses in the north of Shiganshina. Her moves became increasingly calculated by the second as she spiralled through their open hands and cut as many napes as she could manage.

Everything outside of her own orders became white noise, her only focus was the group in front of her. 30 titans became 20, and 20 became 10, until eventually, there were only 5 titans left. Two of them were far larger, possibly between 12 and 15 metres, while the other three were no bigger than 10 metres. Her main issue, however, was gas. Each second that passed by, caused it to lessen. She'd done everything in her power to avoid wasting any, but nevertheless, she running on fumes.

A titan hand reached out to grab her while she stood perched on a rooftop. Breathing out a sigh, she sprung back into action and shot one of her hooks into its eye, then she ran up its arms, using her hook to keep her attached. Things moved slower as she then used some gas to spin around it and slice the nape.

"Only 4 left." She told herself, as if that made her situation any better. Replenishing her swords with a sharper set, she then shot her hooks onto a taller titan and spun around it, she instantly cut it down before jumping off of its falling corpse and then shooting towards the other taller titan, cutting it down with equal brutality. "2." She sighed and looked at the two smaller titans.

They wouldn't be too much work, in fact, she noticed one of them was still recovering from one of her previous attacks as it lacked an arm. As she stood on the roof of the house she was on, she looked around for her comrades. The whole city looked bare and worn down. An eerie silence enveloped the area that made her worry slightly. Despite it all, the Colossal titan had completely disappeared, so she assumed that there had been some success on her squads end.

Her eyes travelled back to the titans futile hands reaching out to her, it was useless, they couldn't reach no matter how hard they tried. Yet, the awful smiles on their faces made her feel uneasy. "You were people, weren't you? Thats how you suddenly appeared in Shiganshina." She spoke aimlessly to the titans, knowing it was pointless. "I don't know what it's like to be a titan, but I can't imagine it's a pleasant feeling." She spun her swords around as she walked to the edge of the rooftop. "No matter. I'll put you out of your misery."

It was almost instantaneous, she used the technique she picked up from Levi all those years ago and she spun quickly with her swords pointed. Both titans were soon left evaporating on the ground as she wiped their blood from her face.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing." She spoke to herself again, a way to ease her own nerves as she walked through the streets of Shiganshina. "I hope the recruits are listening to my advice. They've worked too hard to freeze up."
