Author's Notes for readers


You guys did it! You kicked my lazy ass back from Gates Gehenna (points for whoever gets this reference). I will be adding chapters on to this story as well as starting some new fanfics. I hope you guys don't mind my attention to details. I'm a schemer worst than Erwin, but lacking Commander Handsome's brow game. I lost track of what I was talking about :D ...shit. Well enjoy!

Remember this story is Ereri! Eren x Levi, not Levi x Eren


Hours later after deploying and leaving the wrecked houses of the Shiganshina District, Levi realized again how this expedition could be very successful or end in the worst possible failure. What was worst is that he had humanity's hope tailing along. It was too risky to do such an endeavor on such circumstances...but it was the plan Erwin and Hanji though liable at the time.

/+ INFORMATIONAL FLASHBACK +/

- Before leaving Wall Rose -

Temporary base was in an underground waterway fixture that was found on a series of maps Erwin and Levi both looked at. It was located at a nearly halfway point between the hole in Wall Maria and the, now plugged breached, hole of Trost.

Erwin advised that at worst, if this temporary base wasn't pliable then they were to turn around immediately and return to Trost, for emergency assistance.

Before getting to the Shiganshina District -

Levi and Hanji's squads first checked out the waterway; there were a couple of normal titans that were easily dealt with, with no casualties.

Then this is where Hanji and a good amount of cadets stayed to protect the temporary base, while Levi lead the others into the Shiganshina District.

Arriving at Shiganshina District -

Everyone was perplexed why there was barely any titans to be found wandering the Shiganshina District. Many had expectation it was completely barricaded with groups of titans coming in from the outside world, but it was anything but that….it was more peaceful...serene...hawks flew over them in a calm state. The peace was too...nerving than unnerving. Checking out homes wasn't the main priority since they didn't hold important information, like Eren's basement would; however some things were still of interests..

Then finally they were there, the crushed-in home of Eren and Mikasa's. Emotional memories resurfaced before Eren's eyes, as he gripped the basement key with a enraged tightness.

/+ End of FLASHBACK +/

+++ In the underground water way. . .

Levi was adjusting his 3D gear as he noticed his buckles and clasps were getting wore out faster than he originally anticipated.

"Levi Heichou!" Jean came running over.

"What?" Levi said turning to face the tall cadet.

"I came to report to you about the remaining tanks we have. It's enough to get home in case we run into a situation we a few titans, but after everyone has reloaded we only have two tanks left as spares," Jean said.

"Eh...Really? Tch. Damn I didn't think we used that much when heading to Jaeger's basement." Levi said.

"A-actually it wasn't our doing...apparently after we left for the basement, some Aberrant Titans showed up.

"What?" Levi's face got more serious. "Where's Hanji?" Levi said pushing past Jean as Jean said,"Ah, Heichou!-" He had sweatdrops.

After walking deeper into the underground waterway, Levi could hear Hanji's excited ramblings.

"OOOooooo! YAAAH! THERE ARE SO MANY!" She panted in excited.
"HANJI-SAN! PLEASE STAY BACK FROM THE EDGE!" Eren said pulling her wrist while Hanji used her free hand to wave too the depths below.

"What's going on?!" Levi said in demanding tone strolling on through as everyone moved aside and Eren said,"Heichou!.." in a cute loud to whisper tone. Levi could tell that the look Eren had plastered on his face meant something urgent, was underway.

Levi got to the edge and his face had a hint of horror in it. The underground waterway obviously had a natural source from where the water was coming from but this was a bit crazy. Down below was a pit full of titans and from the look it not all were normal. There was a great amount of Aberrants that stood around all eyes looking up at the yelling human along with other little delectable ones around it. Levi gave an immediate order. "We are moving out, pack up everything. Now." He said, and everyone looked with intensity realizing how serious this situation was compared to how they originally accessed it.

Hanji noticed,"Huh? Really Levi? They are so far down, I don't see it as a danger. This would be a good time to stud-" Hanji was cut off with Levi's immediate disapproval.

"Hanji," He said, getting closer to the edge. "Look," He said face darkened as he looked down at the bottom of the wall they themselves were standing at the top of.

There were a bunch of normal titans fighting and piling upon each other as they were trying to reach up towards Hanji and Levi.

Hanji frown after looking, she knew they didn't have the resources to deal with such a big situation.

"On top of that…" Levi said,"Those Aberrants are waiting…" He said feeling their stares on him still. "Until that pile gets high enough, who knew they were so smart.." Levi said as he was fearful to leave the recklessly excited woman alone, but he trusted in Hanji's new analysis of the situation. He turned and walked away.

Hanji sighed and turned not to long after Levi did following him back to the mouth of the cave.

"It's a real shame we can't spend more time here, figuring out things" Hanji pouted lightly.
"Stop saying weird things. I'm surprised you haven't gotten eaten yet," Levi grumbled.

"Oi," Hanji said mocking Levi a bit, giving him a stern expression.
"Dork.." Levi mumbled as they both emerged outside.

Everyone looked saddled up as they waited.

"I hope we get back before dark," Armin said.

Mikasa and Eren looked at him.
"Even if we didn't, I don't think that we are in much danger, considering that titans become less active at night..I think," Eren mumbled as he was thinking of ways to reassure Armin.

"Hanji-San did say that Danchou would be waiting for our anticipated return." Mikasa stated.

Armin still felt bothered by things but said,"I guess," He simply ended his thought there.

"Move out!" Levi said as he took off on his horse. Everyone following hotly on his trail.
"Stay in formation and keep an eye out! We need to avoid any conflict if possible!" He said as he got an collective 'HA!' from everyone behind him.

With Hanji traveling next to him, Levi felt things might be okay, but….The mauled over question was…

'How did those titans get in there?...'
