Reiner and Berthold made their way through the empty streets, it was still early, and the sun was just rising, both of their faces hidden under the cloaks the got from one of Reiner's spies inside the Military Police. They got a huge shock when they learned several weeks ago that Annie had been caught, they expected that if she failed capturing Eren she would at least manage to escape. But both of them felt relieved learning that she trapped herself inside a crystal. Reiner signaled his partner to stop as a patrol moved from their path. They were currently planning on getting Annie out of the dungeon. Plan in which they spent a considerable amount to work out nicely so they can try for the last time to get Eren on their way out.

They kept walking casually, until they reached the large building that was the dungeon. Just as his contact said, the guards were changing shifts, so they entered easily to the fortress, heading next to the actual dungeon. The sun was already up by then, and it was a rather hot day, making it uncomfortable to keep the hoods up as they walked through the outside of the fortress.

Reiner pushed the door and stepped inside, looking carefully to the hallway in front of him, being lit by torches on the walls, he made a signal and they resumed their walking.

"I don't thing this is such a good idea." Bert whispered looking back.

"No going back now." He replied casually. "We get Annie, and then Eren before the expedition leaves."

There was no point in arguing, so Bert simply nodded and followed the blonde.

With a sigh, Reiner pulled out a piece of paper form under his cloak, a map, given to him by his mole, signaling the way to reach Annie's cell, they took a left and continued.

The place was dark, the light of the torches didn't seemed to illuminate the corridors, all they could see in front of them was dark and small lights on the sides. With another quick look they turned right and got down some stairs into an even darker section.

"This seems to be the maximum security cells." Reiner said looking at the labels on the doors.

Curiously the names of the prisoners were marked on the doors. Making it easier to find her cell.

It wasn't' long before they found the right door, they looked at the heavy metal door as Bert pulled out two wires and knelt in front of the door as he tried to force the lock open.

"Didn't knew you could pick a lock." Reiner commented as he kept watch.

"I saw Sasha doing it once…to get a loaf of meat." He chuckled as he spun the wires successfully opening the lock. "There."

The door made no noise as it was pushed, inside there were four torches one on each wall, illuminating a large green crystal being help in place by chains and ropes.

Berthold closed the door behind them as he continued to inspect the small cell.

"Now what? We can't just carry the crystal back."

"I think I can get her out." Reiner said with a serious expression.

"Are you going to shift?" Berthold asked nervously.

Reiner let out a small chuckle. "It would be of no use, her crystallization is harder than my titan form skin. No. Maybe if I can reach her, she can get out herself."

Berthold looked confused as he heard his words. He wasn't sure of what he was talking about but told him to do whatever he intended to do.

The blonde took a deep breath as he pressed his hand against the cold crystal he closed him eyes as he concentrated, his arm started to emit vapor as he pressed his palm harder into the crystal.

Several minutes passed as Berthold looked at his partner do, whatever he was doing, he let out a sigh, as it appeared to not be working, even tough he wasn't sure what "it" was. But something caught his attention. A small cracking sound; he turned his attention to the crystal, as a small crack appeared around Reiner's hand, growing up and down seemly cutting the crystal in two.

Before they even knew it the crystal was shattered into pieces, letting Annie fall to her knees on the ground coughing for air. Both of them walked towards her and helped her up.

Annie raised her head, looking around with her eyes half closed, unlit they fixated on her partners. She let out a sight before standing by herself and pushing a bang of hair out of her face.

"So, what's the plan?"

I got a nice idea for a SnK story, and here is the...draft. Depending on the response I'll keep writing or leave it on the corner of my unfinished/unpublished stories.

Anyways, hope you like it.
