All right, I think it's about time I explained some things, since a lot of people are either confused or aggravated about some aspects of the story. Okay, here goes.

Some people are telling me I did not get Saitama's character, other say I did. Listen up, all of you. In chapter 9 there was a scene were the female Titan was about to kill those two soldiers—if you've seen the anime, it's the long, blue-haired soldier and another soldier with a bowl haircut—but Saitama rescued them. He did not go in against his principles. He's still a hero and he still saved those soldiers, even though everyone said they should run. Also, remember when Saitama said that he needed to take a pee in the latest chapter? Well, he did take that pee… but he also went to Erwin, as you might have recalled a certain dialogue scene between Saitama and Levi, where Saitama is about to spoil the plan, but Levi cut's him off. That was supposed to be this way.

Then there is also the part about Saitama letting the female Titan live. Remember, Saitama has never, ever killed a human being in his life. The only thing he has been killing so far are 'monsters'. Saitama knows that there is a human inside the female Titan, why did you think he asked her to 'get out'' and 'talk with him'? Since he doesn't want to hurt the human inside of it. Also, remember that Titan emit steam when they die? Yes? Now think about it for a sec. Saitama punches Titans, Titans die and blood erupts, the blood evaporates and hot steam coms off it. A perfect escape for the human inside the female Titan, right? Yeah, that's what I had in mind when writing the chapter.

I am defiantly not forcing to have Saitama act a certain way in the story, and if it might seem so then I am sorry, but it is not intentional. Saitama is a smart guy, even if he doesn't show it. The scene with Mikasa in chapter eight was to turn out the way it did. Saitama knew there was no talking sense into her. And while it's true Saitama doesn't care from time to time, having him tell Mikasa "Hey, I need to go to the supermarket, see ya!" Would be even weirder. Some things matter to Saitama. Because it isn't a villain who is telling their story to them, no, they are human beings. People he protects, people he helps, people he listens to. The web comic explains this very well, so I'd advice anyone who hasn't read it to read it. Commander Erwin or Levi never told Saitama to let the soldiers die, so I do not know where that thing came from.

Also, people are complaining that I follow too much of the Attack on Titan cannon. Well… think about it, you guys. Having Saitama kill off every single Titan in existence would make for a pretty funny one-shot, but… this is a story, and it's going to be a big one at that. Having Saitama save the day in just one day would be boring. I have already made some changes, and this chapter will also be a lot different than the original episode, but you'll have to read it to find out. I am trying to let the story flow smoothly, and I'm trying my very best to do it. Saitama isn't exactly the easiest character to write. I know he might seem like it, but he's not. But come on, you guys… having a bit of the AoT dialogue and scenes isn't all that bad, now is it. Saitama is still involved and dialogue still changes. There a so many crossovers stories who put in more dialogue from AoT in their chapters than I do. Please try to understand that I'm trying my very best to let the story flow smoothly, and making sure it isn't rushed.

I am sorry about this long author's note, but it had to be done. Now onto the next chapter!

Saitama looked down at the grass-covered fields of the forest. Scratching the back of his head, the hero put his hands in his pockets as landed on a nearby tree branch. Leaning against the tree and stiffening a yawn, the hero looked around him.

"Where are they?" Saitama asked himself. He had not expected himself to get lost, since he saw a green flare that had probably been fired by one of the members of the Special Operations Squad. Crossing his arms as he pushed himself off the tree, the hero jumped off the humongous branch and landed on another branch. Looking down once more, he noticed the same soldier he had met just minutes ago soar through the forest, using her 3D maneuver gear in a ways he had only see a couple of other people do. Raising an eyebrow, the hero decided to follow the female soldier.

Jumping off the branch and landing on the ground, creating a large crater as the ground underneath him cracked wide open, sending pieces of dirt, grass, and wood flying in all directions. The noise, however, got the female soldier to cock her head backwards. Saitama, being the nice guy, waved at her while running after her, leaving behind a trail of dust and as he quickly caught up with the soldier. "Hey, do you know where to find the Special Operations Squad?" he asked her.

The female soldier turned her head, ignoring the Caped Baldy completely as she increased her usage of gas.

"Did she not hear me?" Saitama asked himself. Shrugging, he jumped up once more, this time almost colliding with the soldier he was following.

"What the hell?!" the soldier exclaimed in shock as she quickly shortened her gas usage. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked him.

"I thought you didn't hear my question," Saitama replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "So you want to find the Special Operations Squad together?" he asked.

The soldier gritted her teeth. This man was getting on her nerves. Perhaps she should transform and teach him a lesson. Smirking to herself as she looked down at the ring around her index finger, she looked at the Caped Baldy. She stopped what she was doing, however, when she saw a familiar face appear a few feet behind of Saitama. "Eren," she whispered. Looking at Saitama, she maneuvered herself around him and shot her cables towards two other trees. "I'm coming for you, Eren."

"Wait up!" Saitama said as he quickly ran after her. Muttering to himself about how stupid this was, the hero decided to jump up one more time. It was only after a few seconds that Saitama realized he had jumped a tad bit too early… thus accidentally jumping into the soldier. Feeling his head make contact with something soft and round, Saitama quickly grabbed hold of the soldier's legs as she simply stared down at him in complete shock. "That… was not on purpose, I swear!" Saitama quickly apologized. "I respect your cleavage, madam."

"That's it!" the soldier exclaimed in anger and frustration as she tried to kick Saitama off her legs. "H-Hey, let go, you idiot!" she demanded.

"I can't, I'm stuck and I really don't want to rip my suit," Saitama replied, looking up at her with a sheepish look planted on his face. "Can't you just land? I swear I'll leave you to yourself."

The soldier was about to reply, until she suddenly felt her speed decrease dramatically. Turning her head backwards, she noticed she was running out of gas. 'Damnit,' she thought to herself, taking quick glances between her and Saitama. 'Should I just transform and get this over with?'

Pondering on what would be the right decision, the soldier did not notice the humongous tree she and the man who was hanging from her legs were closing in on.

"Look out, big tree!" Saitama exclaimed as he simply tugged at her right leg, swiftly dethatching her 3D maneuver gear's cables and spinning her around. Sighing to himself as he saw he ripped part of his right sleeve, the hero held the soldier to his chest as he simple jumped from one tree to another. "Listen," he said, looking down at the soldier whose hood had been blown off by the amount of power Saitama had used to spin her around. "As much as you probably want to find the Special Operations Squad all by yourself, I think it's for the best if we stick together."

Cheeks red, the female soldier muttered something underneath her breath before speaking up. "Fine then," she said, looking up at him while glaring intensely. "But once we find them, you release me. Got it?"

"Sure thing," Saitama replied, giving her a two fingered salute. "My name is Saitama, by the way. What's yours?"

"…"

Saitama raised an eyebrow at the girl before letting out a sigh. Looking down at the ground beneath them, Saitama's eyes widened as he saw something he thought he would never see again. Jumping towards the ground mid-air, the hero landed safely on the ground. Putting the girl down, he but his hands on his hips as he looked at the beautiful scene in front of him.

"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?" the girl asked, glaring at him as she stood beside him. She was about to continue, but Saitama but a finger to her lips, shushing her.

"Be quiet," he whispered. Pointing his finger at something, Saitama got the soldier's interest as she now turned her head and saw what the hero was pointing at. It was a baby deer and its mother, happily munching on some grass while the baby just stuck to his mother's side. Smiling, Saitama looked at the girl. "Isn't that one of the cutest things you've ever seen?" he asked, turning his attention back to the deer's.

Letting out a sigh, the girl turned her head and looked at the deer's. 'It is a sight to behold, that's for sure,' she thought to herself. Looking at the Caped Baldy, the girl wondered: Was this guy really as bad as she was told he was? He seemed like a pretty decent guy, even though he was acting far more stupid and oblivious than anyone she had ever met. Heck, they were standing in the middle of a forest of giant trees with Titans around every corner, and even then this guy takes the time to stop, relax, and enjoy the wonders of nature. Who would be so stupid as to put his or her life in danger for such a small thing?

"Sometimes you just have to enjoy the little things," Saitama said to himself, getting the girl to be shaken out of her thought.

"Yeah," she replied. Closing her eyes and humming a soft tone, the girl continued. "Annie."

"Huh?" Saitama said in confusion, looking down at her.

"My name is: Annie," Annie said, looking up at him. "Annie Leonhart."

Nodding his head while keeping a neutral expression, Saitama turned his attention back to the deer's. "Okay," he said, pointing a thumb at his back. "Hop on, Annie."

Annie raised an eyebrow at him, but hesitantly walked climbed onto his back. Putting her arms around his neck, she spoke up. "Remember what I said. Once we find the Special Operations Squad, you'll have to let me go."

"Sure," Saitama replied as he began to run forward.

The members of the Levi squad all exchanged quick glances of confusion with one another as the soared through the sky, the 3D maneuver gear's being put to the test as their cables were shot out and retracted with every few seconds. A deadly silence befell the squad. But that silence was quickly put to an end by Eren, who decided to ask the question that went through everyone's mind.

"Where the hell is Captain Levi?" Eren asked, getting the squad's attention. "I mean it's not like he didn't see the flare we shot up, since we saw another green flare only seconds when we shot ours. So why hasn't the Captain met up with us already?"

"I don't know, Eren," Gunther replied, shaking his head. "All we can hope is that the Captain will find us."

"Then perhaps we should stop and wait for him," Petra suggested.

"No, we promised the Captain we would keep Eren at a safe distance away from the female Titan," Eld retorted. "We must follow his order."

"I agree with Eld," Olou added, nodding his head. "I mean, it's not like the Captain wouldn't come looking for us."

"But still," Petra said. "The flare was shot up minutes ago, and the Captain always had a good sense of direction, so there is no way he could have gotten lost. Perhaps he encountered Titans and is engaging them?" she suggested.

"Even if that's true," Eld said, shooting his 3D maneuver gear's cables at a nearby tree. "The Captain can take care of himself."

"Yeah! The Captain is called 'humanity's strongest for nothing!" Olou added, glaring at Petra. "Of all people, I never would have guessed you would begin to doubt the Captain's skills."

"I'm not doubting anything!" Petra retorted, almost wanting to kick Olou in the gut. "It's just that... I have this feeling something big is about to happen. I can't really explain it, but it has happened before."

"When?" Gunther asked.

"When I first saw Saitama enter the court room a day after his arrival," Petra replied. "I just felt… odd, to be honest. When I saw him enter the court room, the only thing I did was look at him and I felt this sudden rush of adrenaline course through my body. And something big did happen."

"Yeah," Eren replied, remembering what had happened to the Captain. "Captain Levi got pound into the floor, literally."

"Can you guys stop mentioning that?!" Olou asked, anger clearly present in his voice. "I don't care is that bald, shit-faced asshole beat Captain Levi! The Captain has done way cooler things than he has!"

"Well, I've never heard of Captain Levi punching Titans to death." Petra taunted, blowing him a raspberry.

Eren watched as the bickering between the two comrades continued. Having been so caught up in the argument, he did not notice someone soaring towards him until said 'someone' was literally mere inches away from his face.

"Yo," Saitama said, making Eren yell in shock. As an instinct—an instinct he had gotten while undergoing training as a cadet—Eren quickly slashed his blades at Saitama.

"Saitama, sir?!" Eren yelled as he stopped his attack, his blades inches away from Saitama's shoulders. "What the hell? How did you-."

"I ran, then stopped, then ran some more," Saitama cut him off. "Oh, I also found someone who was also looking for you guys." He said, motioning to Annie.

"Sorry for this, Saitama. But this is where it ends… for all of them, including you," Annie said as she quickly grabbed hold of her cape. Covering her face and letting go of Saitama, Annie fell towards the ground as Saitama looked down at her.

"Whoops," he said as he went after her, only to stop when he was almost blinded by a bright light. It was as if lighting suddenly crashed down from the sky. Saitama opened his eyes, only to be greeted by someone—no, something familiar. It was the thing everyone had been trying to capture. It was the thing he had been trying to talk to only minutes ago. And it was also the person he considered someone he could kind of trust, since he thought she was in need of help. It was the female Titan… or rather, Annie in her Titan form. Shaking his head in a disappointed way Saitama watched as the female Titan lashed out at him. Raising his hand, the hero simply blocked the attack, and—with the flick of his wrist—sent her flying into a nearby set of trees. Turning his head to the Levi Squad, who were all still in shock of the fact that the female Titan suddenly emerged from out of nowhere, he spoke up. "Turn around and move back to the original spot where the female Titan was captured. Erwin has told everyone to retreat."

Everyone exchanged worried glances, until Olou spoke up. "I'll take back what said, but I won't leave you to die here!" he exclaimed, glaring at the female Titan. "I'll rip her eyes out!"

"We'll take her on together!" Gunther added, also glaring at the female Titan as he and the rest of his squad now hung from a nearby tree, not using their 3D maneuver gear to turn back as Saitama had told them to.

"I now believe everything! You truly are strong, how else were you able to stop the female Titan from killing you just now?" Eld added.

"Have faith in us!" Petra begged, staring at him with wide eyes. 'Just like I have in you.' she thought to herself.

"If things get ugly, I'll transform and-."

"No!" Petra quickly interrupted Eren. "You move forward, alone. We cannot let you near danger!"

"I think you should all listen to what the man is saying: Fall back immediately."

Everyone turned their head towards the sound of an all too familiar voice. Their eyes widened when they saw Levi soar towards them, a neutral expression planted on his face as he now hung in front of his squad, having shot his cables at the tree they were hanging from for support. "Retreat that is an order." He said, glaring at them. "That includes all of you, not just Eren."

"But Captain, we cannot just leave him to fight against the female Titan all by himself!" Petra retorted, exchanging worried glances between him and Saitama. "Please, sir, I beg of you to have faith and-."

"Eld, Gunther, Olou, Petra… Eren," Levi said. "I'll be staying here to support Saitama. You will retreat right this instant. Not because I want to, but because I am ordering you. I am your superior, and you will follow my orders. If not, then I'll have to look for a new team."

Everyone stared at their Captain with their mouths hanging wide open. Never had the Captain ordered them around like that. They never thought he would threaten to have them removed for the Special Operations squad. Hanging their heads in defeat, every single one of them all fired their cables and moved away from the battle that was about to unfold. Shaking his head, Levi turned to look at Saitama.

"I don't know how your teamwork is. But I'll have you know I prefer to work alone," he said, drawing his blades. "But I guess we'll just have to give it a try, huh?"

"You sure you don't wat to go with your squad?" Saitama asked as he watched the female titan slowly push herself off the ground, hot steam coming out of her back, probably because her body was regenerating from the impact.

"Yes. Yes I am." Levi replied as he shot his cables at the female Titan. Using his gas to increase his speed to a level Saitama had never seen anyone do before, Levi's blades spun around him in a circular motion as even the Captain himself was now spinning like he was some kind of wheel that had been pushed of a cliff. His blades cut through the female Titan like it was made of butter, giving her literally no time to regenerate as the young Captain had already spun his way over to her eyes. Shooting his cables at the side of the Titan's face, Levi stabbed the female Titan right in her eyes, making her fall backwards as he retracted his cables and was sent flying into the air. "Go for the legs!" he shouted to Saitama, who only nodded as he casually walked towards the female Titan.

Grabbing hold of one of her legs, Saitama raised the female Titan into the air as he spun her around like she was some kind of flail. Letting go of her and sending her flying into yet another set of trees, Saitama looked at Levi and gave him a thumbs up.

"When I said: Go for the legs," Levi said, landing in front of him. "I meant: Punch her legs straight off."

"But… won't that hurt the person inside?" Saitama asked, looking at the female Titan, who was slowly getting up.

"What if it does?" Levi asked, shaking his head. "You're not afraid to hurt someone, are you?"

"No, but I prefer fighting monsters, not humans." Saitama replied.

"That thing is not human anymore," Levi said with a surprising amount of anger in his voice. "The person inside that thing knows damn well what she has done. She has killed many of our soldiers. She deserves to get hurt."

"So… no second chances?" Saitama asked, scratching his cheek.

"I swear to everything that is holy that I will one day personally rip your head off if you don't stop acting so stupid," Levi said as he turned to look at the female Titan. "You once said you were a hero, not a soldier, remember? Well then Mr. Hero, do what a hero does. Save the day."

Letting out a sigh, Saitama walked towards the female Titan. Jumping upwards, the Caped Baldy once again grabbed hold of her hair as he now hung in front of her face once more. "You mind getting out, Annie?" he asked.

"Raargh!"

Saitama turned his head, only to see Levi fly towards him, his eyes filled with anger. Slashing at the female Titan, Levi landed on top of her head as he looked down at Saitama. "Rip her out." He ordered, glaring at him. "Rip whoever is in here out. You don't have to hurt her, just make sure she is out of her Titan body.

Looking at Annie's Titan form, Saitama shook his head as he pulled himself up and landed beside Levi. Moving to the back of the Titan's head, Saitama grabbed hold of the nape of her neck simply pulled, successfully ripping away humongous chunks of flesh, tissue and muscle. The female Titan screamed in terror and pain, but to no avail. It would take a few more minutes for her limbs to fully regenerate, even though they were not cut off. She screamed for a few more moments, but the screaming came to an abrupt end when Saitama successfully pulled Annie out of the nape of her Titan form.

"Let me go!" Annie demanded, the flesh around her eyes red because of the tissue that was attached to it. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Levi walked towards the squirming Saitama. Raising his hand, he slapped her across her face, making her look at him with a shocked, yet angered expression. Balling his hand to a fist, Levi punched her in the gut, making her gasp for air as she felt her stomach tense up in pain.

"Y-You… bastard," Annie wheezed, glaring at him.

"Shut up, brat. You'll pay for what you did." Levi retorted. Looking at Saitama, he continued. "We'll rendezvous with my squad, then we'll retreat to the Walls. This expedition was a success. Erwin will be pleased with this result."

Looking at Annie, and then at Levi, Saitama spoke up.

"My suit got dirty."
