Niikaz took a deep breath, letting the reality of the year 845 sink in. Closing her eyes for a few seconds, she focused, then opened them as a faint glow appeared in her gaze. A holographic screen flickered into existence in front of her, visible only to her.
Her fingers moved quickly, scrolling through the system she'd set up to help navigate this world. She found what she was looking for: a status summary of the timeline. A sense of urgency filled her as she read, "One week until the Wall is breached."
"That gives me just enough time," she whispered to herself. Without wasting another second, she took off running, heading toward the inner Wall.
As she dashed through the streets, she passed a boy with determined eyes and brown hair—Eren Jaeger. He noticed her speeding by, giving her a curious look as she moved quickly through the crowd.
"Eren? What is it?" Mikasa asked, seeing the look on his face.
"Nothing," he replied, still puzzled as he watched Niikaz disappear into the distance, wondering who she was and what could have her in such a hurry.
Niikaz reached the port that connected to Wall Maria's inner sections, quickly hopping aboard a transport ship. She knew she had to reach the Scout Regiment's main base as soon as possible. Her mission was clear—find General Erwin.
As the ship docked, she stepped off and focused again. Her eyes glowed once more, activating her system to locate the Regiment's bases. Hundreds of them lit up on her holographic map, each dot representing a base. But she needed more specifics. Niikaz focused harder, filtering the locations one by one to find the places where the top officers held their strategy meetings.
Sweat trickled down her forehead from the intense focus as she narrowed the map down to a few locations. Within the map's hologram, blue dots began to appear—friendlies—while red ones represented enemies. She zoomed in closer, finally pinpointing the base where she could find Erwin.
With her target locked, she took off running again, her pace fast enough to rival the speed of horses. The wind whipped past her as she dashed through the open fields, every second counting down to the inevitable breach of the Wall. She didn't have a moment to lose, hoping everything would go according to plan.
