Blaze regained consciousness with a rather distinct headache, in a rather desolate place... Where the ground appeared to be made up of some sort of ocean, somehow frozen in time.
Coincidentally, she ended up near
Buddy, Ben's Eevee, who had been on guard near a collapsed tower... Though she could see that there was the silhouettes of a
blue haired woman, and
Dio, who were in a more
futuristic building, along with
Ben himself, who appeared to be in an alien form right now, having just recently absorbed some machinery.
...
Dio in the meantime, seeming to have been distracted by something Ben was doing in the near distance... May notice the blue haired woman out of the corner of his eye beginning to
interact with the holographic display they had been approaching, seeming to be
searching for something in the files.
Though, evidently... Someone, or something didn't like it, as an eerie sigh seemed to permeate the area... Before multiple creatures appeared to materialize, out of what seemed like thin air.
Their bodies seemed humanoid, but they had little to facial features... Ghostly, translucent figures, that may have once been human, sometime before they had been entrapped in this place.
They appeared to be
swarming around Dio rather aggressively, reaching out their ghostly limbs to touch him... As some even tried to make their way past Dio, towards the blue haired woman...
...
Ben in the meanwhile, found that the computer's files mostly consisted of
surveilance footage, mostly of places in Vale itself... The strange, futuristic, yet somehow fantastical city he had visited before he had been transported to this strange place.
Various different pieces of footage littered the screen, and though their titles, which seemed to consist of dates and times seemed rather obscured, the footage itself seemed to be playing on a loop.
The footage itself, appeared to detail various instances of titans overpowering the local populace, with screechers knocking out powers, and titans themselves gobbling up various civilians.
However, what was most notable was four distinct video files;
The first one showed an
armored titan, backed up by dozens of screechers ramming into the wall on the outskirts of Vale, with the screechers knocking out the gun emplacements on to.
The second displayed a
colossal titan tearing down a tower-like structure, not unlike the now collapsed structure Ben had decided to check out before it abruptly ended.
The third was a bit more blurry, but he could catch a
female titan charging her way through the front lines of what appeared to have once been a safe haven... Bringing a horde of both titans, and screechers along with her... The distinct screams of various civilians could be heard before the footage cut out.
The fourth, and final one, displayed that
mysterious woman that had fought Cinder, in her mask and all... Appearing to have gained some considerable amount of power somehow; the whole area seemed to be burning, as various soldiers and fighters were either caught within the inferno... Or attempted to flee, before she used her claws to finish them off. She moved with lightning fast speeds... Ones that almost made it seemed like she was disappearing and reappearing as she fought, until she seemed to notice the camera that was filming her... And promptly destroyed it as well.
Evidently, this footage seemed to indicate that this particular structure, was from some sort of alternate timeline... One where Vale was not so lucky... Perhaps this was what could have been... Had Ben and the others not arrived to intervene...
