Someone entered the forest. Eren and Historia are still out there. The truth about the royal government will come out at some point.
Marlowe and Hitch held hands as they walked in the forest with guns on their backs.
"Hey, Hitch. Do you really buy all of this? The scouts being the enemy? This doesn't make any sense." Marlowe said.
"I don't get it either. It's crazy how this world has turned out to be. So, why did you bring me out here Marlowe? To get some alone time with me?" Hitch asked.
Marlowe chuckled.
"We're on duty, Hitch. We can't do that stuff right now."
"Well, we're alone, so it's not like anyone is going to catch us messing around."
They stopped walking when they heard something.
"What was that?" Hitch asked.
"It sounds like someone is here." Marlowe said.
They found a girl near the lake, filling up a bucket with water.
Marlowe and Hitch pointed their guns at her.
"Put your hands up! That's an order!" Marlowe commanded.
They were shocked when the girl turned around and revealed her face to them.
"Annie?" Hitch said.
Suddenly, Reiner and Bertholdt came and took their weapons away.
"Surprise to see me, still alive?" Annie asked.
Later, Nile came to the cell and opened it. He found Erwin's face beaten up and blood on his shirt.
"Nice to see you again, Erwin. You're not doing so good, huh?" Nile asked.
"No. Not really. But, how are you and your family? They are doing good, is that right?" Erwin asked.
"Well, my wife and kids are doing okay. Why do you ask?" Nile asked.
"Because I care. Listen to me, when the time comes, it'll be up to you to do the right thing." Erwin said.
"The right thing? What do you mean by that?" Nile asked.
The guards came to take Erwin to the king.
"You'll see." Erwin said.
Later, a fat man was running from three military police officers. He ran into a dead end and couldn't find a hiding place. Before they could get him, Hanji and Moblit came and put him on top of the roof.
"Darn it! Find him! That fat pig can't hide forever!" The leader said.
When they were far away from them, Hanji and the man started talking.
"Hey! Who the heck are you?" The man asked.
"Well, you can call me Hanji. And this is Moblit. We're members of the scouts. And who are you?" Hanji asked.
"Why does it matter, I'm gonna die anyway." The man said.
"Hey, you are not going to die. I'll make sure of that. You just need to fight back and speak the truth." Hanji said.
"That's easy for you to say. I'm not brave like you, so, what's the point?" The man asked.
"Is this really how you want your life to end? Without doing a darn thing? You can't go out like this. You need to speak the truth now!" Hanji said as she grabbed him by the collar.
"Hanji, keep your voice down, they could hear us." Moblit said.
"Hey! Who's making that noise on the roof?" The leader asked.
"Crap. Come on, we gotta go." Moblit said.
"What is your name?" Hanji asked.
"Flegel. Flegel Reeves." He replied.
"Flegel Reeves. Nice to meet you. Now, let's go, we have work to do." Hanji said.
Later, Reiner and Bertholdt tied up Marlowe and Hitch and took their gear away.
"Why are you doing this? You all think you're heroes of justice? Well, guess what, you're not! You all turned wall Sina into a battlefield!" Hitch said.
"Hitch, calm down. Levi, let me join you and your friends. I believe the military police is in the wrong here. If I can help you in any way, then that's what I'll do!" Marlowe said.
"Calm down. I appreciate your help, but I don't know if we can trust you. Sasha, get them out of here." Levi said.
"Wait, Levi. Let me do it, sir." Jean said.
"Alright, knock yourself out." Levi said.
Marlowe and Hitch were walking until they were far away from them.
"That's enough." Jean said.
"Look, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this." Marlowe said.
"I know you won't, and that's why I'll make sure of that." Jean said as he pulled out a knife.
Marlowe and Hitch freaked out.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?! We're on the same side here! Right, Hitch?" Marlowe asked as she nodded.
"You think I won't do it? Levi may be a soft person, but not me. Who in their right mind would get a haircut like that? Anyway, it's time for me to finish the job." Jean said as he tripped when he tried to attack them.
"Hitch, run!" Marlowe said as Jean got up and pointed the gun at him. Hitch ran away to grab a weapon.
"Why should we trust you, anyway?" Jean said.
"Because, when I joined the military police, I wanted to clean up their act. You think so too, don't you? They are lazy and corrupted. But, if you wish to kill me, then, so be it." Marlowe said as he dropped the knife.
Hitch came and smacked Jean with the tree branch.
"Hey, Hitch, stop! He was just testing us." Marlowe said.
"What? Are you out of your mind? I could've killed you." Hitch said.
"I could've stabbed you with the knife. What made you think I wouldn't do it?" Marlowe asked.
"Because, you remind me of this other idiot. A suicidal maniac who wouldn't shut up about killing every last titan." Jean said.
"Is he the one Annie talked about?" Marlowe asked as he helped him up.
"Yeah. Definitely." Jean said.
Later, Marlowe and Hitch showed Levi the military police camp.
"This is it. Is there anything else we can do to help?" Marlowe asked.
"No. That'll be all for now. Thank you." Levi said.
Marlowe and Hitch turned around to walk away, but Levi stopped them.
"Marlowe. Hitch. Dedicate your hearts." Levi said.
"Yes, sir!" Marlowe and Hitch said together.
They both walked away and when they were far away out of sight, they kissed each other. Marlowe held Hitch close to him and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Was that girl bottomless?" Hitch asked.
"What, girl?" Marlowe asked.
"I don't know. I think that potato girl?" Hitch said.
"I don't know, I didn't see." Marlowe said.
"Never mind, then." Hitch said.
Annie cut herself with her ring, turning herself into her titan form. She attacked the military police soldiers as Jean, Sasha, Connie and the others attacked as well.
Flegel was surrounded by three military police soldiers.
"Phew. Oh man, good thing we caught you. Running around, chasing you is really exhausting." The leader said.
"Wait, can you at least tell me, why my father died?" Flegel asked.
"Well, they said, the scouts killed him, after he finished his job. Why?" The leader asked.
"Because, that's bullcrap and you know it. I'm going to make sure the truth gets out for sure." Flegel said.
"Good luck with that, fat pig! No one's going to miss you when you're gone! As long as the civilians mind their own darn business, there won't be any trouble!" The leader said as he pointed his gun at him.
"Oh yeah? Well, guess what, everyone heard you! Just take a look above you!" Flegel said as he pointed his finger in the air.
Hanji and Moblit came and knocked out two of the soldiers. The leader shot his gun at Hanji, but she dodged and punched him.
"Ow! That really hurt!" Hanji said as she rubbed her hand.
"That was really reckless, Hanji!" Moblit said.
"Did everyone heard him?" Hanji asked.
The leader saw the civilians surrounding the area.
"Yeah. We heard him. Every one of us heard him." A man said.
"Well, it doesn't matter! You all can't prove anything! No one will believe you!" The leader said before Flegel sat on his head.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will help you guys out. You have my word." Flegel said.
Everyone clapped at him.
Later, Levi was trying to get information from the leader of the military police.
"Now, tell me, where are they taking Eren and Historia?" Levi said.
"Screw you all!" The leader said.
Levi kicked him in the mouth with his foot.
"Wrong answer. Where are they?" Levi asked.
"Somewhere hidden. You won't find them! So forget it!" The leader said.
Carla walked up to him and broke his arm. The man screamed in pain.
"Where is my son?!" Carla asked.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you! They...they are-"
"Captain! We heard footsteps. Someone's coming." Sasha said.
"Everyone get ready. Attack when I give the order." Levi said.
Levi and the others have Eren and Historia's location. Erwin exposes the fake king. And Historia will have to make a decision.
