Xia followed along her team in relative silence. Despite their massive numbers, she wasn't going to let her guard down. If anything, their massive numbers were just what those Titans wanted, to be able to wipe out an entire group of Survey Corps members in one massive pileup. And sure enough, something happened; from seemingly out of nowhere, a titan covered in foliage emerged and attacked. [b]"What!? What kind of titan is this!?"[/b] The only warning Xia had of the titan's attack before someone shouted it's presence was the titan's hulking shadow. Xia was one of the unlucky few who was about to get crushed, but also one of the faster ones who managed to escape that fate. Blood slapshed all over her back sending a unnerving warmth down her spine, but Xia only kicked her horse to go faster as she knew that the Titan wasn't dead yet.

Xia for the moment lost sight of her team. Not good. Even worse, after that deviant attacked, more Titains were coming out of the wood work to converge on the survey corps members. They had to be fast or else they'll be trapped, surrounded on all sides by titans. Not a good way to start their first mission. More of the proctors and graduates took into the skies to fight the titans, allowing Xia to weave through the forest to find her team. She couldn't see Otto, their team leader, anywhere, but she did see Alexandria and Eve. She also saw a titian just ahead of them, just as it looked like it was about to attack him. Xia stood on her saddle and fired her hoots towards a tree behind the titan, flying off in it's direction as her horse continued to gallop forward.

The titian swiped the air, just barely missing Xia but hitting another survey corps member who was reduced to a bloody smear. Xia landed on the side of a tree behind the titan and attacked before she really had any idea of what she was going to do. She simply shot her hooks at the titan's neck, plunging her blades into it's nape and slashing out. The Titian roared and began to fall and Xia launched her hooks towards another tree lower to the ground. She could see her horse was still alive and moving forward, and she also saw Eve not too far away. Though Xia was lucky to catch this titan when it wasn't paying attention to her, it would be better for Xia all to stick with her team if possible. She zipped through the air and eventually managed to land right onto her horse, who nearly bucked her off. [b]"Wow there! Calm down! It's just me..."[/b] The Horse continued to buck ofr a short while, but than calmed itself and resumed it's running. Xia rode up alongside Eve at full gallop and shouted over the wind pressing against their face. [b]"Eve! Glad that you're alright, have you see the squad leader?"[/b] Although their situation was bad, Xia seemed to have an excited smile on her lips. Something about the danger and rush was exhilarating to her, despite her won belief that something like this needs to be taken seriously. Perhaps it came from the fact that she just slew a titan by herself, using nothing but instinct.
