p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Dark brown hair, wound in a tight braid whipped against the wind like a whip, a small, agile girl tearing through the sky, a blade brandished in each pale hand. Her nose was pulled into a wrinkle of a thing, steely grey eyes narrowed in distaste at the four metre being before her. It was far bigger than her, yes. But, blegh. Damn the little things./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" The sharp sound of her gear filled the air as she landed on the shoulders of the beast, which roared and mewled as she dug her weapons into its shoulders to root herself to its body. Her voice was soft, but was a breath of cruel, cold words when she spoke to the monster; "ah. Why do Iem always /em get the little ones." She paused for a moment before ripping her weapons from the flesh and striking at the nape of the creatures neck under its shaggy red hair. It shrieked, worming for just a second before it fell to the ground. emDead./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Without a second look, she was off in the direction of her team. The spring air smelled of rain and, well, blood. What more was too be expected? Everywhere she stepped was a battleground. She spotted a head of yellow-blonde hair and sped up, landing beside the boy who was running on the roof and easily keeping his pace. He turned to her, his blue eyes calm. He'd done this many times. Seen this far too often. "You get it?" She grumbled an incoherent response, and he chuckled. "I really don't know why you insist on staying away from the little ones. I mean, they're far bigger than you." His eyes twinkled as the girl, who was roughly five foot nothing scowled up at him. "They just look ridiculous." She muttered. He shrugged. "So do you." She growled in annoyance, a small smile gracing her lips as she shoved him slightly, staying in pace with her team./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" At the front of the group, Levi Ackerman turned his head, his raven locks framing his natural irritated expression. Really it was just neutral, but his sharp features made it appear as though he always wore a glare. His gunmetal eyes fell on the soldiers behind him, and he narrowed his eyes at the brunette in the very back. Something about her was so intensely annoying, he could barely stand being in the same room as her. But, she was a valuable soldier. Small, but quick and graceful. She was also the head of the DOCAM. em(Department of Communications and Manipulation.)/em Levi didn't even know that was a thing until the stupid seventeen year old brat had been emgiven /emthe position./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Armin nudged his comrade. "The captain is giving you the emlook /emagain." He muttered, his full eyes settling on the short, intimidating man. She glanced up, eyeing him, returning his annoyed look with, her eyebrows drawing down to her narrowing eyes. He snarled slightly, turning his head back around and she rolled her eyes, fixing her gaze on the titans just a while away. "I really don't know what his deal is." She sighed exasperatedly. Armin guffawed, tipping his head back, his hair falling off his youthful face. "You and emeverybody/em else, Ariella."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Ariella was about to make a snarky remark when the man himself called to her. "emCaruleo/em! Assist Mikasa with the titan on the left!" She slid her eyes over, happy too see it wasn't another short one. Seven meter class, at least. "Yes, sir!" She called, following Mikasa in their direction. She eyed the dark haired girl through her lashes. She didn't like her much. Yes, she was good. Hell, she was fantastic. Her skill rivaled Levi's own. She wasn't jealous of that, either. She was jealous for, er, emother/em reasons./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" "You distract, emI'll/em kill." Mikasa told her. Ariella nodded. She was usually given the distract objective instead of the kill. She could kill, yes. She had atleast 10 self-kills and a very high number of assists on her record. She was small, sassy, and quick. She was emperfect/em titan bait./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" She sped ahead of Mikasa whipping around in front of the titan. "Hey, Ugly! Look over here!" She shouted. The titan whirled towards her, baring its sharp canines to the blonde. It gave a noise like a hiss, a carnivorous look in its big, brown eyes. "Come and get me!" The titan thrust out its hand and she jerked to the side, the big, meaty fingers leaving a gust of wind at her side. The adrenaline pounded in her ears, and she loved it. She flew up by its face, landing on its head and peering down just in time to see Mikasa cut the nape. She took off, landing on the roof as the titan hit the ground. Mikasa landed beside her, shooting her a sideways glance. "Good work," she said stonily. Ariella half nodded. "You too."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Then they both took off./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Ariella fell in pace beside Eren, right behind Levi. "Hey, good job. You're doing great today!" Eren said, shooting her a smile. She felt her cheeks heat up slightly. "Thanks. You too." She inwardly cringed. Was that really the best she had conversation wise? Eren didn't seem to notice, turning his head to the Corporal. "Captain Levi. Are we nearly done here?"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" Levi's eyes scanned the area. They were in Shiganshina, right near wall Maria, wiping out the last of the lingering titans hanging around. Even two years after Eren sealed the hole, there were still a few. Not many, though. But it was their job to get rid of emall /emof them. As of now, he spotted no more titans. "Yes. I think we'll head back, now. Should any titans show themselves on the way back." He extended his gear and swooped over his squad, landing behind them and heading back to Wall Rose. Everybody was momentarily confused, then turned and held up their steady pace, relieved the excursion had ended. Eren sighed heavily. "I wish I got more kills." He mumbled, to no one in particular. Ariella glanced over at him. "You killed emthree/em titans, Eren." She said, almost amused. He furrowed his brows. "I want to kill them emall/em." She nodded her head slightly. "You did very well. Your time will come." She paused./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" "We will end them, one day." She promised, unknowingly. Eren peered at her through his lashes, a smile twitching at the corners of his mouth. With a surge of confidence, he turned his head back to the front, nodding his head. em"I know."/em/p
