I don't own Attack On Titan.
Chapter 1
He stood in front of the window. Middle aged, average height, brown eyes and hair, and had a slight limp. The man met the description I was given. I stood still like a statue and observed from my current position. The cold water was a never ending barrage against my skin. My gills, hidden behind my ears, allowed me to breath in my hiding spot located in the river. A cloak of black adorned my lean body, so no one could see me. Stealth was crucial for without it I would be nothing.
He moved towards the door. I moved towards the door. My movements had to be in sync otherwise it was game over. Opening the door, he stepped onto the patio. Removing a cigarette from his pocket, he lit it. Launching from the water, I used my dual bone blades to slice his throat and stab his heart. Hoisting him into the water, I kept any of his blood from getting on the patio. No use in leaving a mess for some unfortunate soul to clean up. His body was soon swept down stream, leaving no evidence of my actions. Diving into the river, I began swimming towards the titan infested city on the other side of the wall.
I passed through the flood gates, gills continuing to breath. The guards didn't notice my passage through Wall Rose. Its not like any sane person would willingly cross over into titan territory. Now in between Wall Rose and Wall Maria, I kept swimming until I reached a large lake. Swimming downwards, I eventually reached a hidden base on the bottom of the 150 feet deep lake. The base looked like a large mound of seaweed and muck to any outsider, but I knew better. Putting my palm on the scanner, the base confirmed my identity and allowed me in. I stood between the inner base and the water, waiting for the water to drain. The door in front of me slid open revealing the interior.
All in black and white, it had cement walls, floor, and ceiling. A thick black rug sat in the middle of the room with a black couch on top of it. The left wall had a standard built in steel bed that had pristine white covers adorning it. The right wall had different blue-prints covering it, and a simple metal desk sat beneath them with it's surface completely organized. The wall I was facing had racks ceiling to floor filled with weapons, armor, various other inventions that had no names, and preserved titan parts. I was an inventor-scientist type person one could say, but unlike most in this field, I kept my things organized.
One could also call me an assassin, a hermit, or even a psychopath, and they would all be right. I made my living killing people for other jealous, stupid, or/and mean people. Not that I cared what the person who was ordering the kill was like. I took off my cloak and hung it on the hook beside the door. Sighing tiredly, I draped myself across the couch. One more day passed and nothing changed; people were still just as ignorant as always. They thought if someone died their lives would get infinitely better, but it always seemed to bite them in the ass. Getting bored of my own depressing thoughts, I got up and hung my swords on the rack wall. Grabbing two easily concealable daggers, I shrugged my bullet-proof cloak back on and headed towards the one still running club in the city.
Swimming back into Wall Rose, I soon got to the club. As soon as I entered, I sat down at the corner table, shielding my face with my hood. A Military Police soldier soon moseyed his way over to my nondescript table. "I want you to put Captain Levi to sleep...permanently," the man stated. "Please give me a brief description, any other important information, preferred killing method, and my usual payment of a thousand dollars," I commanded im my usual emotionless voice. "He's short, muscular, has hard grey eyes, and black hair. He is with the Survey Corps, and they are currently at a castle outside Wall Maria. No preferred method. Are you sure there's no extra cost for it being outside the walls?" "Honestly, I prefer assignments when they're away from prying eyes. If he is not killed in three months maximum, I am dead and have failed. If this is the case, I apologize before hand for not doing my job." After I replied, he put the money on the table and left. I picked it up and concealed it under my cloak.
After returning to my 'house', I pulled out my maps of beyond the walls. Locating the castle, I made plans on how exactly I was going to accomplish this. I looked into my only mirror. I was a mutant. I had retractable webs between my toes and fingers and large feathery wings protruded from my back. Red eyes, raven hair, barely visible gills, a spade tail, and high cheek bones made me look almost otherworldly. Looking back down to the map, I decided flying would be most efficient. I grabbed my dual swords, foldable bow, ninja stars, and set of daggers - all of which were crafted from titan bone due to its light and non rusting properties. Sliding them into different hidden compartments in my leather warrior attire, I snatched my cloak and headed out the door once more. I swam at lightning speed until I reached the surface.
Then, I stretched out my wings and swept up into the sky. Because it was night, I blended in with the sky, seeing as I was dressed in only black. The wind rushed past my cheeks and the objects below looked ant sized. Within minutes, I landed a mile out from the castle. It was around one in the morning. The castle was huge, boasting at least a hundred rooms. I flew over the walls and landed in the main courtyard. A variety of titans were strapped down for experiments. Quit interested in this, I went up to one and pet it's hair. Since I was a mutant, the titan saw me as an animal and not a human. It allowed me to touch it without any signs of aggression. I was so caught up in observing the titan's reactions that I didn't realize someone sneaking up behind me.
"Why is Maggy not attacking you?" A strange woman with glasses asked excitedly. My heart staggered for a moment. "If you haven't noticed, I am not human like you; therefore, titans don't give a shit about me," I replied in an apathetic tone. The woman finally noticed the giant feathery wings protruding from my back, my blood red eyes, and me tail. "Who are you, and can I do experiments on you?!" she then got excited. "I sincerely apologize as I am a scientist too, but I have already done experiments. I also shouldn't even be talking to you because no one can know I'm here," I said in a sincerely apologetic tone. She then leapt at me, attempting to cuff me. Grabbing her wrist, I twisted it behind her. She was now in an efficient arm lock. "I have no business with you, but I do with one of your comrades. Do you happen to know of a Captain Levi?" She looked surprised at this.
"Yes, I do. Why do you want to know about him?" "I have no idea who he is, and I need to kill him in a three month time period. However, I prefer to be more efficient and kill my target within a week. I offer my condolences if you care for the black haired individual," I returned my usual interrogation speech. It was blunt, effective, and entertaining to hear people's reactions. "You're an assassin?! I didn't know those still existed! Why are you trying to kill Levi?! How have you not heard of humanity's greatest warrior?!" "Its nothing personal. I have a job to do, and, unfortunately, someone thought Levi's death would make their life infinitely better. I live outside the walls and only converse if necessary for my job or other necessity." After I said this, she went berserk, bit my hand, and ran.
"You little fucker!" I yelled, enraged. "Levi, Erwin, whoever! Help! AN INSANE ASSASSIN IS GOING TO TRY AND KILL LEVI!" the lady screeched in a voice so loud, I could've sworn I heard some dead people rise from the grave. "SHIT! God-dammit, you had to yell for help?! Now I'm gonna have to use my ninja stars! Augh, they're going to get filthy, and I just cleaned them last week!" I screamed, hating the thought of tarnishing my beautiful weapons. Soon I was surrounded by the Survey Corps all clad with their 3D maneuver gear and knives. Unsheathing my bone swords, I blocked the first swing towards me. Cutting through the other's sword like butter, I hit him with the hilt of my sword, knocking him out. Realising I was better at hand to hand combat, I sheathed my sword and began mowing them down. My tail and wings caught many of them by surprise which was a huge advantage. After over half of them fell unconscious, A loud voice yelled over the sound of fighting.
"What the hell are you brats doing?! I'm trying to sleep in here!" a man's voice called. "OHHH LEEEVVIIIII! There's a person here who wants to kill you!" the weird chick called out. Suddenly, a few soldiers fell as Levi trampled over them to get to me. He stood in front of me, observing. Not waiting for him to finish, I testily threw a ninja star at him. He dodged it. "What the hell are you,and what do you want?!" Levi commanded. I didn't answer and came at him faster than the human eye can see. In milliseconds, we were high up in the sky. His friends below were specks. "I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have been hired to kill your sorry ass. However, I have become bored as of late and don't feel like murdering someone tonight, so I am going to put you down. The bizarre woman called you 'humanity's greatest soldier'; therefore, I would like to spar with you or have a titan killing contest or whatever. Do you accept my proposal? By the way, if you beat me, you may try to kill me using any method or methods you wish, and I will let you without a fight."
He glared at me with curiosity and disgust. "When was the last time you showered?" was his answer. "I showered about thirty minutes ago recently after killing my last target. He was a truly revolting human being if I do say so myself." He relaxed a bit at my answer. "Hmm, I'll accept your proposal, but I have a few adjustments. If I win, Hange gets to experiment on you. If I lose, you don't kill me." I mulled a bit over this. "If you lose, you have to allow me to see this Hange's research as I am a scientist in my free time. If you win, not only will I let her experiment on me, but I will let her see my research," I tweaked a few things. "Wait. You have information on titans?" "Yes. I have been researching them since they first showed up. I have preserved soft tissues and know all their weaknesses. They do have more than just their neck," I replied, knowing the deal was too good to let go of now. "Deal. We shall have a sparring match." I chuckled evilly. "Didn't your parents ever tell you to not make deals with the devil?"
