Also in a unrealted but fun note who's also excited for the Resident Evil 2 Remake? I've been playing the original PS1 Director's Cut, but wait, if it's the Resident Evil 2 Remake then why are you replaying the first one you might be asking me? Well, I've already played the hell out of the original Resident Evil Two and I'm taking a break until the Remake comes out in five months.
Chapter Eight: Saying I'm Sorry.
Two days before the attack on Shiganshina.
'Another one down. How disgusting.' Levi thought to himself as he began cleaning his blades. His hood was still up by the way, as to hide his new bruse. He did this at times when he caught a break from the killing that he did love. He's killed over ten thousand Titans, [in my story at least since there's no easy way to count the real amont of kills unless they tell us.], and was not going to stop until they were all erased from the planet for good. Even, if he had to give his life to complete his mission he would finish it. After he finshed cleaning his blades and putting his cloth away he saw a group of about ten more Titans coming towards him. Nine normal ones from nine feet to twenty-one feet tall and one that's about thrity-six feet tall and can run. 'An abnormal?' He thought as he used his gear to swoop behind the abnormal and take it out. His team was fighting the rest off the Titans as he thought about his last encounter with Armin. Armin. The one the he swore to keep safe. He had promised to never let him come to harm again but in this world, he knew that was not going to happen. Armin was going to get hurt. He was going to die one day and Levi cound not protect him from that. He knew this too and just had to accept this fact as well. While the last Titan was killed Levi snapped out of his daze and put his swords away. After sighing under his breath he moved on to another section of the city with his team right behind him.
'Armin, I'll apologize tonight.' He though to himself as he saw and downed yet another Titan. He then looked up and saw over twenty more. 'After I make it up to you.'
With Zoe in her lab.
To say that Zoe was angry was an understatment, she was furious. She did thank Armin for standing up to her since he was right after all. However, it was wrong of him to strike Levi and she would remind him of that as soon as she saw him. Right now though, she was studying a Titan that was chained up and loving it. Every single idea that she tought of went into her notebook that she had in her vest pocket. She was jotting down an idea about useing severed limbs as test subjects in order to find a better way to make them stay down while their neck's were sliced. As she finshed putting her new idea down she heard a knock on the wooden door. The knock itself was one that she knew anywhere. It was the knock that her, Levi and Armin came up with and since Levi was on a mission that just left it with one person for as to who it could be. Calming down and taking a breath she said: "Come in Armin." as she heard the door creak open and the five year old entered the large room in a set of his now normal clothes but without the outer shirt.
"Zoe." He said in a weak, sad voice as his face came into view. His eyes were red and puffy and his small, cream colored cheeks were wet from fresh tears. With a sniffe he started to speak again cut stopped when he saw the Titan. "Zo-Zoe, what is a Titan doing here at the Capital?" He asked, his face changing from sadness to shock. With her 'crazy' smile on her face she walks over to the small boy, bends down to his level as to look him right in the eyes and tells him: "Research. Wanna be my little helper?" in her 'crazy' voice that scares Armin sligtly every time she use's that voice. As he backs up slowly she drops the act and smiles her normal non crazy smile at him. "I'm kidding Armin. There's no way that you'd be able to help me with this because it's not time for you to learn the ways of Titan Studies. In a few years maybe, but not now. Now, What did you want to talk to me about?"
"I wanted to ask you if I could stay here until Levi came back. I wanted to say that I'm sorry for hitting him. Do you think that he's still mad at me?" He asked his first female friend as the Titan smiled at them and licked it's lips.
"Hold on," She tells him as she looks at the Titan. "No, you human eater." Looking back at Armin, she tells him: "Nope. I think he's not mad at you anymore. I bet,
he's thinking of a way to say sorry too." She told him with a smile.
"Why would he say sorry?"
"Because he hit you."
"I thought it was because I earned it?"
"Yes and no. Yes: You did strike him and it wasen't training. No: Since you were standing up for me so that makes it sorta okay. Get it?" She asks him as he nods his head with a determined look on his face. "Good. Now let's leave before this big guy here tries to eat you."
"Okay." He said, happy to be leaving the room.
Later that night around midnight. Levi walked inside the building and towards the lab where he found only the Titan test subject staring right at him when he opened the door. 'Armin's room.' He tought as he walked up the few sets of stairs and knocked on Armin's door. "Come in." He heard before opening the door and spotting the blond laying in bed. "Levi." He said, in slight shock of seeing his friend so soon.
Walking to the child he begins to say: "Armin. I have something to say and it's important."
"What is it?"
"I overeacted before. I should not have hit you and I apologize." He says as he sits down and crosses his right leg over his lap. "Can you fogive me?" He asked in his normal tone.
"Ha. Haha. Ahahahahaha!" He starts laughing, holding his stomach in pain.
"What's funny?" He asked, getting a puzzled look on his face.
"I w-was going t-to say t-that to y-you Levi."
"Hmmmm." Came his replie. He was laughing right along Armin. Just on the inside since he was not the type to laugh out loud.
The next thing Armin knew, he was being hugged by the one person who looked out for him the most.
"I forgive you Levi." He told his protector as he hugged him back.
"And I you Armin."
Sorry this took so long but I wanted to wait until the start of season three and I thought that this was the best time to do so. I'll try to update again as soon as I can but working on three stories at once is both fun and a strugle. Later.
