[sup]Current Location: Wall Rose, Trost District - Interacting With: Gabriel, Mary, Jakob, Hannah & Mr. Stuhr[/sup][/center]

[color=007236][b]"So keep the formation tight, assist the civilians, and engage any Titans near us who are already attacking.  We have a more important job to do than to just kill them."[/b][/color]

[color=gray]The squad nodded their confinement of the plan, but there had been no time for anyone to protest or object, something sure to come from Jakob. A quick double check of their gear and gas, and the squad dove into the massive district of Trost, and made their way to their respective flank in the middle guard, right smack in the center.[/color] [color=#FFD967][i]After the garrison has ate the dust, it'll certainly be us next...[/i][/color] [color=gray]Tanner thought as they ran across rooftops, using their gas to propel over jumps they couldn't make on their own. Nonetheless, Tanner cast her thoughts away before they distracted herself, and refocused back on their mission.

It wasn't long before the buildings and ground quivered with intensity. Loud thuds continued their way, like a travelling earthquake. Looking upwards, Tanner met her eyes with horror once more, seeing a Titan chew away at a fresh meal as it chased the civilians. Gabriel quickly abandoned all of his planning, charging into the battlefield to save the civilians before another had been snatched by the monstrous beast.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]Damn it!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner muttered as she turned to the other two cadets.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]"Jakob, you're on look out. Mary, help the civilians."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner explained before taking off after Gabriel. They were quick orders, but there was no time for a monologue.

Propelling herself over with the use of the gear, Tanner landed effortlessly on a roof next to the Titan. Waving her hand in the air, Tanner swung around the blade like it was a big foam finger to catch the Titan's attention.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]"Oi, mangle tooth! Yeah, you! Come get me!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner shouted, sprinting down the roof as fast as she could to distract the Titan long enough for Gabriel to do something, but everything quickly changed. The Titan slammed its hand down on the roof in attempt to grab Tanner, sending her flying in the air as she narrowly avoided become a meal. However, something had been obviously wrong. Where was Jakob!?

Floating like a bird in the air, Tanner noticed Jakob missing from where she told him to keep a look out for Titans. Being forced to make a quick decision before the possibility of the Titans outnumbering them became a reality, Tanner launched her wires into the Titan while it recoiled from the failed attempt at capturing another meal. Swallowing her pride, Tanner held her breath as she swung rapidly into the Titan's nape, fresh burning blood sprouting as the blades dug into the Titan. The Titan soon fell to the ground, and the thud was bone-shaking. Sighing in relief as she stood on the fallen Titan, Tanner looked towards the civilians, and an obviously frightened Mary when she heard a familiar voice...[/color] 

[color=#318CE7][b]"Tanner!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]A young voice cried out, causing Tanner to tilt her head in the direction it came from. Taking a second to blink and come back to reality, Tanner soon realized who the voice was. Leaping off the Titan before she was burned by it, Tanner knelt down, giving Hannah a large embrace.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]"How are you doing, sweetie?"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner asked as she ruffled her sister's hair, to which Hannah gave her a great big nod.[/color] [color=#318CE7][b]"I'm doing great! ...but you went woosh, and floosh! Like an action hero!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Hannah exclaimed, clearly amazed by the works of the gear and seemingly oblivious to the fact that someone had just died.[/color]

[color=#FFD967][b]"That's good to know, Hannah, but we'll have to talk later. Right now, I need you to listen to me, alright?"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner explained, more focused on Mr. Stuhr now, naming him the de facto leader of their group.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]"Mr. Stuhr,"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner stated, standing up from the ground.[/color] [color=#FFD967][b]"The rear is holding the gate for the civilians to escape to Wall Rose. We can hold them off as best as we can, but we'll need the civilians to hurry, understood?"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Tanner continued to explain, hoping that the man could suddenly take responsibility for the leadership role she had suddenly forced onto him without asking for his approval.

A second went by that felt like an eternity.[/color] [color=sienna][b]"You've grown into a fine soldier, Tanner..."[/b][/color] [color=gray]The elderly man exclaimed, nodding his approval.[/color] [color=sienna][b]"Come along, Hannah. Listen to your big sister!"[/b][/color] [color=gray]Mr. Stuhr beckoned, and with a kiss on the forehead from Tanner, Hannah ran back to the group as they quickly made their way to the Wall Rose gate. Mary was too busy smiling at the conversation, but the realization that they still had a job to do hit them quickly. Using their gear to climb back on the rooftops, the two girls rendevoused with the group, where Jakob decided to show his face again.[/color]
