"RAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!" An animalistic roar ring out across Trost, who'd previously thought the battle to already be over...
Bertholdt tries to take this opportunity to run, but Eren and Jean come down on him like a city-sized pallet of bricks. They both simultaneously rush over and slam him into the still-steaming flesh of the Colossal Titan, sending teeth flying as his head slams.
He's knocked unconscious from this, but Eren doesn't stop slamming his face into the flood until Armin and Jean pull him away, both knowing that the information Bertholdt could provide would be instrumental in truly understanding the titans and the world as a whole.
A loud snarl turns all of their attention however, as a man-sized, humanoid wolf with black fur leaps atop the body of the Armoured Titan and begins clawing at its nape, sparks fly as its nails scrape and snap against the armour, but soon enough the wolf finds purchase and peels a plate off of the titan, revealing the flesh underneath.
"Wait, if that thing's like Bertholdt, then there must be someone in its nape too!" Armin exclaims in realisation.
"But what the hell is that wolf-thing in the first place!" Connie shouts, "Look It's wearing the rags of a uniform too! It's probably someone we know!"
"It doesn't matter! We need to stop it before it kills the person inside!"
"... Why though? Why not let it eat?" Eren wonders aloud as the wolf digs further into the titan's flesh. "It's only karma, right?"
"Yes but-"
"AAARRGGHH!!!" Rainer's screams interrupt them as his body is torn from the titan. His eyes were dull but his mouth moved anyway, screaming like a newborn baby as the wolf viciously bit down on his shoulder.
It tears flesh away with ease, and moves onto Rainer's neck, biting down furiously and drinking thickly from the blood his arteries spew.
"T-that's Rainer...?" Eren asks, too shocked to even summon the feelings of betrayal...
"Then... That would make the other titan..." Connie gasps.
"Annie..." Jean spits, looking over to the Female Titan's body where a figure was now fleeing from the steaming hole in its nape. "THERE! SHE'S RUNNING! WE CAN'T LET HER ESCAPE! NOT NOW!" Jean shouts, blasting off towards her and completely ignoring the strange wolf that was devouring Rainer.
"Eren, we need to-" Armin starts but is ignored as Eren follows Jean, intent on not letting a single traitor escape.
"You guys take care of Bertholdt, we'll catch Annie!"
...
"Is it weird that the wolf-thing eats better than us?" Sasha wonders aloud as she finds a comfortable spot to sit and watch Rainer be devoured.
Armin and Connie look at one another with a 'What the fuck did she just say?' look on their faces...
-------------------------------
Once the wolf was finished eating Rainer, it looks up at the sky and sniffs deeply for a moment, before eventually locking eyes with the trio watching it from the Colossal Titan's corpse.
"AWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" it howls before rapidly sprinting towards them, using its claws to dig into the dead titan's flesh and climb its way up.
Armin and Connie begin panicking, but Sasha continues to casually watch, tilting her body to allow the wolf to pass as it charges straight at Bertholdt...
Connie slashes at it with his sword as it passes, cutting a large line into its flesh, but that wound heals right before their eyes...
It ignores them despite Connie's attack and grabs the unconscious soldier before running away, intent on devouring him somewhere out of sight...
"Sasha... What was that!?" Connie asks, unsure why she was so sure it wouldn't eat them...
"Can't you tell when someone's craving something? That wolf wanted Bertholdt and no one else, I could see it in its eyes..." she remarks.
Armin grips his hand with his other to try and stop his trembling, Bertholdt was surely dead and he'd done nothing to try and stop it... He was too much of a coward to even try like Connie... He sighs and looks to the others, "We should go help Eren and Jean, Annie's the only one left with answers."
They nod, "Let's go then."
------------------------------------
"ANNIE! YOU CAN'T RUN!" Eren shouts as he and Jean chase the blonde traitor, Annie using her own 3D manoeuvre gear to try and escape towards the wall.
"RAINER'S ALREADY DEAD! AND BERTHOLDT'S BEEN CAPTURED! STOP NOW OR YOU'LL DIG YOUR GRAVE EVEN DEEPER!"
"What would you two know!?" Annie retorts as she flips over a restaurant balcony and through a terrace.
Eren smashes straight through a bannister in pursuit but doesn't slow at all, the splinters in his flesh only making him more determined to catch her.
Jean on the other hand is far closer to catching her, only a couple of meters from being able to grab her.
"I PROMISE! GIVE US ANSWERS AND WE'LL PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR YOU! ANNIE!"
"GO TO HEL-" she starts to shout back but pauses as she spots something behind them... A blood-covered humanoid wolf sprinting through the street at speeds far greater than their 3D manoeuvre gear could ever match. "WHAT THE-AAAAAGHHHHK!"
The wolf leaps up high and easily snatches her out of the air, immediately beginning to tear the unfortunate blonde to pieces. Her forearm crunches loudly as it bites it, claws dig deep into her chest and pierce a lung, and the flesh on her face gets half-torn off from a relatively small nip from the creature.
Eren and Jean land on the ground next to the scene just as the wolf tears Annie's jugular out and continues on to chew on her spine. After that, it thrusts a claw into her chest, pulls out her still beating heart, and devours it in front of them...
"W-what creature are you..." Jean utters in shock.
"One that's on our side, aren't you?" Eren asks as the wolf turns towards them, blood dripping from its maw... It raises its head up and releases a long howl before passing out onto its back, its body rapidly shrinking until a naked Mikasa is all that's left.
...
"What the fuck!?" Jean exclaims.
"Mikasa...?" Eren confusedly mutters, his mind blown by just about everything that'd happened in Trost thus far. Unbeknownst to him, he didn't even know half of it.
FYI, yes, Mikasa is now a Female Armoured Colossal Werewolf Titan... That's a mouthful, and fucking metal lol.

"So, this is Marley...?" Michael remarks as he flies high above the sprawling city that wouldn't look out of place in the 1950's. The streets were bustling and happy, men going to work, women walking through shopping streets with their children in hand, friendly policemen keeping the peace while greeting passerbys... From his Eagle-eyed view, it looked like an idyllic civilisation...
But, when taking a closer look, you could see people wearing armbands not too dissimilar to what Jews did during the reign of the Nazis in World War 2. Some seemed to be doing well for themselves, but others were tucked away in slums, starving but still unwilling to beg for money or food due to the consequences such an action would draw.
"W-what are you planning...?" Zeke asks while still hanging limply from the collar Michael was holding. His surprise at Michael's clearly magical ability to summon white wings of fire was trumped by his existential worry for Marley and its citizens.
"Zeke, what do you see when you look down at them like this?" Michael asks, ignoring his question.
...
"I... I see innocents, ruled by cowardly men in power who fear the power of my race... People who are ignorant of the truth of their lives, of their country..."
"Why haven't you done anything about it then? With the Beast Titan you could remove the threat to the Eldians without any trouble at all." Michael queries.
"T-that's not true... There are other Shifters who would oppose me..." he shakes his head, "Removing the Head would only cause it to sprout a dozen more too! They hate us already! If I were to kill their leadership so blatantly? I can't imagine the fate that would await us if I chose that path..."
Michael glances at him, "So, you're just a coward then... Why not just devour the other Titan Shifters and take their power for yourself. I'm sure you've thought about it, you could have planned and made it a reality."
"Stop! Why are you asking me this!? What is your goal? To have me destroy the leadership of Marley? To lead a rebellion!? Tell me!"
Michael shrugs his shoulders, wings still flapping behind him despite their effectiveness not being tide to their movement, "Just curious. Since you don't want to do anything, it's only right I take action, right?"
...
"Hey, Zeke... I seem to recall an ability of yours, using your spinal fluid to transform Eldians into pure titans... Am I right?" he asks, quickly causing Zeke's eyes to widen in terror.
"J-Just what are you planning!? I-I want play a part in your schemes! I refuse!" Zeke exclaims, trying to dislodge himself from Michael's grip. He even tries to bite his hand to summon his titan, only to pause at his inability to do so...
"What? Surprised you can't shift?" Michael grins, "Ymir can't reach you while you're in my grasp, you know."
...
With Zeke going silently and hanging lifelessly in response to his inability to do anything at all, Michael just sighs and raises him in front of him, "You want to know my plans? Fine. I'm in need of more titans to kill, and since I've almost sucked Paradise Island dry of them, your fellow Eldians in Marley will have to do... It helps that I'm also destroying what is essentially the Nazi Germany of this world too."
"W-what... You're mad... You would commit genocide just to hunt more titans!?"
Michael picks some earwax before flicking it away, "I mean, technically I would be saving everything in Paradise Island, so that would make me a hero of a sort." he shrugs noncommittally, "I truthfully couldn't give a toss about this world, Marley especially, so I'll use this place a sandbox for my ascension..." he states much to Zeke's shock and despair, "Now, let's find somewhere to extract that spinal fluid... The amount we're going to need to poison an entire country's water supply is probably going to be ridiculous... But, you've got your Titan healing, and I've got recovery spells and an infinite amount of mana to use them."
With a sonic boom, Michael zips into a nearby forest and holds Zeke to the ground via Telekinesis, "Don't worry Zeke, I'll try get this done as quickly as possible... This is going to be more annoying for me than it is painful for you..."
"W-wait! No! We can think of another way! Ple-AARRGGHH!!" Zeke screams as Michael jabs a metal straw directly into his spine, the fluid immediately starting to leak out like some sort of sap drip. Liberal use of healing spells allows it to flow freely, directly onto Michael's book and into its inventory.

Commander Dot Pixis takes a deep gulp of his canteen as he eyes the people sitting before him... All of them were Trainees greener than a farmer's thumb, yet had fought against scarier odds than most of the military combined...
Trainees Eren Jaeger, Sasha Blouse, Connie Springer, Jean Kirstein, Armin Arlert, all nervously watched him, waiting for his response to the rather ridiculous report he'd been handed not half an hour ago...
"To clarify, all of you can testify to the validity of the report? Each of you lends your word and credibility to the facts presented in it?" Pixis idly questions.
"Yes, Commander!" all of them exclaim simultaneously.
"And all of you testify to the fact that Trainees Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover, were all seen exiting the name of the three titans that attacked Trost today, correct?"
"Yes, Commander!"
...
Pixis slowly nods and focuses on Jean and Eren, "And you two can testify towards Mikasa Ackerman being the one responsible for their deaths... Correct?"
Eren and Jean pause, looking at one another with indecision. They'd both written that fact down in their reports when the paper was thrust in their faces, their adrenaline draining only after the fact... But now they could see the trouble they'd potentially put Mikasa in...
"Well? Speak up, Trainees!"
Hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know. Thanks!
