I only have one thing to say and one thing only. For this chapter, I use episodes 16 and 17 from season 1... And it's basically like I'm watching it for the first f****** time because I lit ass thought Armin was going to die and that the female titan was going to kill him... The levels of anxiety were way too f****** high for me...
Also I wanted to let you guys know that because I have been kind of absent this week I made this one extra long... Or at least longer than my usual chapters" attention" Ness called getting the new Cadets' attention and making them salute him. they all did so before they paid close attention to him. " I your new squad leader, Ness. And this is my horse, Chalet. He likes to pull out hair, so be careful if you don't want to go bald. Good to have you" he told them as his horse started to bight at his bandana that he had covered his head. "hey cut it out, Chalet!" he cried as he tried to get the horse off. "someone gets her off" he called. Sasha then came running almost tripping along the way to get the horse away from him. she pulled the horse one way but it fought back against her and continued to try to eat the man's bandana. the cadets just continued to watch them struggle as Sasha was hit with the horse's tail and hips as she somehow got behind it.
Beginning the next day, instead of actual combat, their training consisted mainly of memorizing the expeditionary search formation conceived by Commander Erwin. Oddly, despite being such a precise formation, Eren Jaeger's position was not indicated
" we in the special tactical force will be here, in the center of the rear rank standing by" Gunther pointed to the center of the map later that same day
" that's very far back." Eren pointed out as Eld, Gunther, Petra, and himself looked at the map that was on the ground in front of them in the middle of a field. Oluo Was right behind them listening in. Sasha was a little bit closer to Levi as they gave Eren the rundown on where they were going to be.
" it's the safest position in the formation. Even better than the position of the supply wagons. The objective this time is to 'set out and come back. We're keeping this Expedition outside the wall extremely short" Gunther told the group around him " because it's a tough travel for taking you to shiganshina District."
" I... Still don't know how to control this power." Eren started as he looked down at the map.
" do you understand what Commander meant by his question back then?" Gunther asked him
"huh" Eren called as he tried to remember back to what the commander asked him when they found the dead titans
" do you and the other superiors know?" Eren asked them after shaking his head
"no" Eld answered back. Petra also shook her head.
" I'd be lying if I said we knew everything" Olou stated as he stood next to his horse. "but i..."
" This operation may have another objective. But Commander decided it isn't necessary to explain it to us. In that case, our only concern should be to set out and come back." Gunther said as he picked up the map from the ground and got up. " trust the Commander" he said before walking away
"yes sir," Eren said before he looked over at Sasha who was telling something to Levi with a smile
" that'll be all for today's training get ready to head back" Levi called once he saw everyone was on their feet. They all nodded and instantly got on their horses getting their things together and making sure that everything was in its rightful place. Sasha ended up being ahead of them for some reason only to have Levi yell at her to get back in position. She seemed more relaxed for some reason and Eren was glad that she was back to her normal happy self. She had been stressed the last couple of days because of all the information she has been telling the commanders and captains.
Sasha and Eren were cleaning the horse stalls with Oluo on watch later just as it was getting dark. They finished just in time to see their old friends walking by
"guys..."Eren whispered "Oluo do you mind if I go and talk to my classmates?" Eren asked
"sheesh! Make it quick" Oluo told him snapping at the young teen
"Hey! Mikasa! Armin!" Eren called right after.
"thank you" Sasha smiled at Oluo as she ran to find Jean and Connie. just as she was behind Eren Mikasa and Armin turned around wondering who called their names
"It feels like it's been so long!" Eren smiled at them
"Eren..."Mikasa started as she grabbed his hands " did they do terrible things to you?" she asked him " did they poke around every part of your body? did they torture you physically?" she asked him desperately. Sasha just rolled her eyes and made her way towards her two friends.
" C'mon. none of that happened..." Eren stated
" That twerp's too full of himself..." Mikasa stated. Sasha choked on air as Mikasa said that. " one day I'll give him what he deserves"
" you're not talking about Captain Levi are you?" Eren asked, just then Sasha looked to the door of the Stables only to see the man they were talking about right there holding his horse. Her face pale before turning away acting like she didn't hear or see anything. She quickly gave Jean and Connie a hug and a small greeting.
" I told you you would be alright" she stated as she hugs them. Jean just nodded his head and hugged tightly. He has been most stressed out after finding out the truth and didn't know if he was going to be able to control his emotions around the traitorous 3 after finding out. Good thing he had Connie there to help him. He was actually lagging behind the group when Eren saw them and Sasha had to run to Connie who was in front of Eren.
" hey, Eren" Connie called as he hugged Sasha.
After they were done talking about the truth Connie was the one that took it most well because he already knew part of the truth about the traitorous 3 and also because he promised Sasha that he would believe her no matter what. He had helped Jean avoid the traitorous 3... well 2 now. He had been very understanding and even tried to be some kind of therapist to his guy best friend.
"what's this" Eren called as he looked at everyone who was there. "you're all here" Eren smiled "but... if you guys are here... Don't tell me you joined the Scout regiment?" Eren asked the group of people there.
" Is there another reason why we'd be here" Connie smiled kindly at him
"then... only Jean and Annie went to the military police?" Eren asked as Jean appeared behind him " not you too" he said after he turned and saw him.
" Marco's dead," Jean told him with a serious face.
"... I know... Sasha told me" Eren stated
"seems not everyone can have a dramatic death." Jean stated as he tried to avoid looking at Bertholdt and Reiner "no one knows how he died... he died where no one saw him... where no one noticed" he stated.
Eren looked away guilty as Connie and Armin looked away too. Armin because he knew that Annie had Marco's maneuver gear and Connie because he knew the truth.
"recruits! Gather around" someone called. it was Ness with another person with him with the Scout uniforms in his hands. "your uniforms are here" he smiled at them. all of the Cadets ran over and picked up their new uniforms and put them on. Sasha was also among them having never gotten hers before and only using the Cadet uniforms.
they all placed their cloaks on after putting on their jackets... they all stood a little bit ahead of Eren who just stared at their backs watching as their cloaks flapped in the wind... for some reason he imagined Marco standing among them causing his eyes to go wide.
"are you... serious?" Eren asked later that night when everything calmed down and the cadets had nothing to do
"yes... we are joining this next operation," Mikasa confirmed what they just told him
"Eren when you transform into a titan, I heard you tried to kill Mikasa. what the hell was that about" Reiner asked Eren.
Sasha Jean and Connie looked over at them as they finished talking about their placement in the expedition. Sasha told the commander to keep the positions the same as the original timeline except for two of the cadets.
"that's not so. Eren tried to swat a fly, and..." Mikasa defended him
"I'm not asking you" Reiner interrupted her before looking at her with a glare "you know Mikasa... that's quite a deep gash on your face" he commented as everyone looked at Mikasa who tried to cover her face in shame " when did you get it"
" apparently it's true," Eren said looking ashamed. " when I became a Titan I tried to kill Mikasa.
"' apparently.' meaning you don't remember," Reiner asked him as Bertholdt came behind him and placed a hand on his arm" in other words you're saying, you were unaware of your Titan Powers until now... And that you don't have the means to control it?" he asked him with a serious expression
" Yeah that's right" Eren confirmed. For a moment Reiner paused before turning to face everyone.
" did you hear that guys?" Reiner started again " this is how things are right now, our lives and the fate of humankind are in this guy's hands. Like Marco we will probably die without Eren even knowing" he snapped
" shut up" Jean jumped in before Mikasa interrupted him
" What good does it do to put Eren on the spot," she asked
" look, Mikasa, not everyone can die unconditionally for Eren's sake like you. We should know... What we're giving our lives for. Unless we know we'll waiver when the time comes. We need something in return from Eren. So let me just make sure... To see if he's worth our lives." he snapped before walking up to Eren and grabbing his shoulders " that's why Eren... We're really counting on you" Reiner stated as he got a creepy smile on his face.
"R-Right" Eren whispered back. as he did so Sasha slowly approached behind Reiner and had a hand on her hidden knife ready to attack him in case he decided to do anything. It was silent after that. Everyone was sent back to their sleeping quarters and Sasha was summoned once again by the commander and captains.
When she made it up to the commanders meeting room she knocks Softly and waited until she was let in. She only had to wait for a couple of seconds before the door opened and Moblit's head popped out before he smiled and let her in. she bowed slightly before she started to speak again
" you called for me," she asked
" yes, I wish to go over the plan once more with you" Erwin stated.
" yes of course" she nodded
" Please remind me what Cadet you want to be placed with Levi's Squad... Other than yourself of course.
" I actually have thought it through and I do not believe it would be a good idea to include Mikasa inside of the Levi Squad just yet... I just finished talking with the rest of my classmates and I saw her reaction to seeing Eren again... I believe she is way too obsessed with him to be considered stable in a group or team environment..."
" Can you please explain your reasoning" Erwin asked her is blue eyes Shining
" as you know what happens when you fail to capture the female Titan... Mikasa gets involved at some point and that results in an unnecessary injury with Captain Levi while he tries to rescue Eren Jaeger and her from the titan. I believe now that we have more insight into the female Titans' abilities we could outmaneuver her... I can lead the Levi Squad to safety and not allow them to make contact... or at least minimal contact with the female Titan shifter." she stated as she swayed from leg to leg
Everyone in the room started to think about her words. They already agreed in letting her lead the Levi Squad why Levi went to go deal with the female Titan. But they also had their doubts that the Levi Squad will follow some cadets' orders who haven't even been outside of the walls before that day.
" I will talk to my squad later about you being in charge... We will deal with this Mikasa if it comes down to it..." Levi nodded approving her new temporary position in his Squad
The next couple of days they spent it training or talking amongst themselves. Jean was pissed off that Reiner mentioned Marco's name their first day in the survey Corp's and was basically pissed off the entire month. He would rant to Sasha and Connie all about how he had no right to even utter his name... Much less two Eren. Someone who considered himself close to Marco.
Sasha also informs them about what would happen in the next coming days. Especially what happened to Armin, Jean, and Reiner and also what happens when they reach the forest of giant trees. They all instantly made a plan to stick together or at least Connie and Jean would since Sasha was going to be with Eren. They also promise that they would keep an eye on Mikasa and make sure that she does not go into the forest on her own. And if she did they would follow after her making sure to share their location so that someone from the higher-ups could find them.
It was the morning of the Expedition and all the recruits were waiting by the gate for it to be opened. Bells were ringing from the churches telling everyone that the Gage will be opening and to stay inside of their homes.
" we've cleared away the Titans in the vicinity." someone yelled as everyone was in line to leave. Sasha was already in her position right next to Levi and Eren. " 30 seconds until the gate opens"
" The time has come, from the moment humankind takes another step forward. Show us the fruits of your training" one of the commanders yelled cheering everyone up. Everyone raised their swords or their fists agreeing with him " begin opening the gate" the man yelled as the gate opened
"MOVE OUT!" Erwin yelled as he made his horse go forward. Instantly everyone followed behind him without question. " the 57th Expedition outside the wall begins now! Forward!" he yelled as all the horses followed behind him with their riders.
Sasha following behind Eren and next to Eld and Gunther letting them pass first before taking off.
Titans appeared from all around but Squad Captain Mike always smelled them out before they could attack them. Hanji was always the one that called out what position they were in causing the support Squad to take action and attack the Titans that were approaching.
" forward! Forward!" Ewin yelled.
" the supports squad will cover us until the Old City area," Gunther told Eren when they were telling him what position they were going to be in. they were in an open field a couple of days before the Expedition started. " beyond that, it's Titan country. All we have to rely on is Commander Erwin's long-range enemy scouting formation. Are special tactical force will be here." Eren remembered Gunther telling him
"Oluo! can they... Can my Cadet classmates defeat Titans" Eren asked as they continued to ride forward
" what? What have you been doing the past month?" Oluo asked him " listen you little shit! Expeditions outside the walls are all about how not to fight the Titans...!" Oluo started before he bit his tongue... Again. Sasha was trying to hold herself together as she tried not to laugh... Again. In the original timeline, she never got to meet Oluo but she already knew that he talked a lot when he was on his horse causing him to bite his tongue a lot... And basically, bleed out each time. She found it funny but she tried to hold in her laughter because she knew how mad he would get, and it will usually lead to him scolding her.
" decoy long-range enemy scouting formation" Erwin yelled as he stuck out his left arm signaling everyone to get into formation.
After he gave the signal everyone separated and went to their rightful positions. Sasha continued to follow Eren who was following Levi and was paying close attention to her surroundings. They were waiting for several minutes when suddenly Sasha felt like time was going slow...
Over the years... Or at least over the years that she could remember. She had enhanced her sensing ability along with her hunting ability. She knew when she was being hunted and she also knew when someone was being hunted... Especially when it was one of her friends.
" she's here" Sasha called all of a sudden. The Levi Squad looked at her confused and asked her what she meant. she never answered them and only looked at Levi who kept a straight face. they continued forward but everyone in the Levi Squad was looking at her weirdly. Eren wasn't sure what exactly she was talking about but he felt that she was probably talking about the female Titan. He kept his eyes forward not knowing what to do and looking at Levi for any type of instruction. He didn't give any. "she is here but she is not in her form." Sasha called again. Suddenly many flares were sent up to the sky. They were mostly red ones but they tried to follow the green ones that Erwin was sending up.
Several more minutes went by like this until suddenly Sasha got chills all over her back. She was on high alert as her eyes widen and for some reason, she made her horse go forward and speed up almost hitting Eren's horse.
"Braus!" Gunther yelled realizing that her attention was no longer on them and on the situation that they were in. He snapped Sasha out of it. Sasha shook her head realizing that she was there... She was there and she already transformed. Levi was looking at her from the corner of his eyes as he rode forward. He instantly knew that she was there. For the last couple of weeks, he had been taking her out hunting by her request. So he knew little signs that she showed Whenever there was a predator around or whenever she did not feel safe in a certain situation.
" Face Forward" Levi ordered her. She looked at him with a panicked expression before shaking her head and doing as she was told. Everyone in the Levi Squad looks at them confused before they continue to ignore it And follow Levi's orders.
" flares, green ones... Oluo you fire it" Levi ordered as he watched many green flares around them
"yes sir" Oluo called as he shot up a flare
"I have a report" someone yelled as they joined their formation from the side. "it's a verbal message! the search squad on the right flank suffered a devastating blow! they've lost the capability to scout the enemy. please relay this message to the left flank" the man yelled
"you heard him, Petra go!" Levi ordered the young woman.
"yes sir" she called as she turned her horse
'please be ok' Sasha thought 'please be ok... please go like the original timeline...' Sasha begged to herself hoping her friends were ok.
"Black flares" Eren called "a variant," Eren asked getting Sasha's attention once more.
"Eren you fire it" Levi ordered
"yes, sir," Eren said as he took out his flare gun and shot another black one.
"she is getting close" Sasha suddenly yelled. Levi glared ahead as he continued to think to himself.
a couple of more minutes later they made it to the woods of gigantic trees. they were riding for a long time before they started to speak to each other once more.
"Captain! Captain Levi!" Eren called
"What is it," Levi asked
"What...? this is a forest. if only the center column enters the forest, we won't be able to see titans coming. they seem to be coming from the right... how are we going to avoid the titans and protect the supply wagons?" Eren asked
" Eren don't be an idiot" Sasha snapped. " isn't it obvious there's no way we can do that anymore"
" what?" Eren asked confused "why"
" look around, Eren, at all of these uselessly tall trees." Levi finally answered " it's an ideal environment to make use of our 3D maneuver devices... now think with that mediocre brain of yours. Think really hard if you don't want to die"
" yes, sir" Eren stated back. He started to think about his words before turning to face everyone. Sasha was doing the same looking at everyone in the Squad.
They all look ahead nervously. They didn't really know what was going on and they did not get that much information like Levi and her did. Sasha was basically the only one, other than Levi as they rode through the empty Trail. Suddenly from behind them, a black flare was shot
" a black flare" Eren yelled out
" it's whatever it was that came from the right..." Eld yelled out
" people draw your swords" Levi ordered as he took out his sword " if it shows itself... It'll be only for a moment." Levi snapped as they continue to Ride Along. Certainly one of the scouts appeared from the trees on the right side. Only Eren Jaeger and Sasha were looking at him before he was gone. He was taken out by the female Titan who was running behind them. Sasha looked up at the Titan with so much fear. She had instincts to cry and run away. And the original time that she never actually got to see the female Titan up close until she transformed in the middle of the city and even then she was never this close.
" move it!" Levi yelled making his horse go faster. Everyone looks behind them to see the female Titan break through the trees on the right and start tailing them from behind.
" damn it's fast."Eld snapped looking at it
" there's no way to run from it in this Forest" Gunther stated
" it's gaining on us" Eld yelled
" Captain, switch to 3D maneuvers" Petra yelled at the captain " captain!" she yelled again after he ignored her " you have reinforcements from the rear" she suddenly yelled as more Scouts started to appear to try to take her out. One of them tried to connect his maneuver gear to her neck to make the killing blow but she avoided it and grabbed the wire before pulling him forward and smashing him with her body on a tree. The other Scout tried to get away but she grabbed his wire and pulled him towards her before squeezing him tightly in her fist and throwing him to the side before she continues to chase the Levi Squad. Everyone in Levi's Squad looked at her in shock "Captain your instructions!" Petra yelled panicked
" let's do it! that one's dangerous!" Oluo yelled scared for his life" we should kill it"
" I'm going to waste you" Eld yelled as he took out his sword
" Captain Levi?!" Eren asked as they continue to ride.
" Captain!" Petra again yelled,
" tell us what to do!" Eld asked of him
" it's almost on us" Oluo yelled
" we're going to kill it! That's why we entered the forest. Isn't that right captain?!" Eld yelled at Levi
" Captain your orders" Gunther yelled.
Suddenly for a brief second, Sasha looked up and narrow her eyes at the treetops
" Levi do it now" she yelled
" cover your ears, everyone," Levi told them calmly before taking out his flare gun and getting it ready for him to shoot one of the canisters into the air. Sasha did As Told instantly everyone following after her. When Levi shot the flare a loud sound came from it instead of one of the regular flare that they had been shooting earlier. Everyone in the Levi Squad covers their ears except for Oluo who looked in a daze.
" an acoustic shot?!" Eren yelled
" tell me, what is your job again?" Levi asked, " is it simply to surrender to your emotions of the moment?" Levi asked them all" no it is not. This squad's mission is to do everything possible to keep this brat on harmed... Down to our last breath," he said before facing forward. He was trying to wait until Eren processed his words. " we're going to keep pushing ahead on Horseback got it?" he asked his Squad
" Understood sir" Petra yelled
" push ahead?! but for how long?!" Eren yelled " not to mention it's almost on top of us now" Sasha heard more of the Scout appear but she didn't bother to turn around knowing that they would most likely die trying to face off against the female Titan.
" Eren Face Forward" Gunther yelled
" Mr. Gunther?!" Eren yelled
" don't fall out of Step! Maintain top speed!" Eld yelled getting his attention
" Mr. Eld... why!" Eren yelled out " who can stop it if not the Levi Squad?!" he yelled out before one of the members of the survey corps was chasing the female Titan died being squished between her hand and a tree " another one's dead" Eren cried " we could have saved him to"... One person still fighting there's still time to save him!"
" Eren! Focus ahead and keep moving!" Petra yelled " look at Sasha... Don't you think she's scared to"
" Are you telling me to ignore the fighting behind us?!" Eren yelled, " you want me to just abandon, my comrades?!"
" yes. just do what the captain says" Petra yelled back
" I don't understand why we're letting them die" Eren yelled back.
" shut up Eren!" Sasha yelled getting everyone's attention " this is exactly why I don't trust you..." she snapped as she continues to ride forward " you don't think they don't feel bad seeing their friends and comrades die behind them... You don't think it hurts them to here the people they once called friends die." she snapped at him " I understand that you want to help them but right now we have other priorities. Stay focused and shut the f****** up I'm tired of you acting like you're in charge" she snapped. Eren and everyone else just looked at her wondering what could have caused her to finally snap at him. Eren was a little bit confused wondering what she meant by him always acting like he is in charge. It was silent for a little bit before Eren got a look of realization on his face and put away his sword. he even got his hand closer to his face as if he was going to bite his arm and transform into his Titan form. He was actually about to bite his hand before he was interrupted by Petra
" what are you doing Eren?!" she cried as she watched him open his mouth. " you are only permitted to do that when your life is in danger" she snapped at him " that's our agreement remember?!" Eren stayed silent for a moment before thinking over her words "Eren"
" you're not in the wrong." Levi interrupted her" if you want to do it, do it," Levi told Eren " I can tell he's a real monster not because of his Titan ability. No matter how hard he's restrained, no matter what gauge is put inside, no one can ever tame him" Levi stated to the rest of his Squad. " Eren, our difference in experience is why we don't see you eye-to-eye. But you don't need to rely on that... Choose. Will you trust yourself, or me, these guys, and the entire Scout regiment... Or even Sasha? " he asked him making Eren's eyes widen " just do your best... And choose whichever you'll regret the least. Once again Eren looks behind him to see more Scouts appearing trying to take the female titan out. He was about to take a bite out of his hand before Petra held out to him again
" Eren... Trust us" she stated. He was looking at her remembering what happened before...
"I've come up with a way to stop you without completely killing you," Levi said one day when they were together in a classroom. Everyone in the Levi Squad was there along with Sasha and Hanji. " before I said the only way to stop you in the Titan form is if we kill you. But this method will only leave you mutilated. It depends entirely on the individual skill though... basically, it involves cutting the nape with you in it -off of the body. The ends of your limbs will get severed in the process, but I assume they will just grow back anyway like a lizard." Levi said before a choking sound was heard and they all turned to face a giggling Sasha who looked away once everyones eyes were on her.
" wait... I'm not sure how to make them grow back... Isn't there some other way" Eren asked as their attention was back on the Whiteboard
" so you want to do it without taking any risks or making any sacrifices?" Levi asked him.
"N-No..."
" prepare for the worst. We're in the same boat you could kill us. So just relax."
" yes sir... I understand."
" so... So I can start experimenting right?" Hanji asked with a creepy look in her eyes
" it's risky but we can't risk not testing him either," Levi told her
" I'll take charge of the planning then... Eren... If you're unsure about anything then just learn as you go. Anything we learn is easily worth risking our lives for. " she told him.
Hanji took Eren and Levi out leaving Sasha with the rest of the Levi Squad.
" so what is Eren like," Petra asked as she placed a cup of tea in front of Sasha as they ate outside.
" well he's a complete ass... sometimes" Sasha stated as she looked at Gunther and Eld who were training hand-to-hand combat a little bit next to them. " I mean he's nice and all and he is a really loyal guy... I guess... He's just not someone I would hang out with outside of work and school" she explained
" why do you say that," Petra said as she sat down her bowl of food.
" he's the type of person that... would do anything for his friends... He is also the type of person that jumps into things without thinking about the consequences..." she started thinking about future Eren.
" anyways... I heard you caught today's food" Petra said as she tried to change the conversation seeing how upset Sasha was beginning to get. There was an instant reaction almost giving her Whiplash at how fast Sasha's mood changed.
" oh yeah, I caught one of the wild boars outside in the forest... I actually caught three and I was going to catch more but Captain Levi didn't let me get the other ones..." she explained
" well that's interesting" Petra laughed. She actually heard the story from Gunther who ended up going with them.
Apparently, Levi didn't want to carry one of the boars back to the castle and insisted that they only needed three. Sasha and Gunther along with the other member who was with them had to carry them back on their horses... It's still confused everyone how Sasha was able to place them on top of the horses considering they were gigantic. Gunther was with them and even saw how she did it but it's still confused him.
" you are totally going to have to teach me your hunting skills" Eld interrupted. " heard you're crazy good with a bow and arrow" he added in with a kind smile.
"um... Yeah totally... I think I still need to teach some of my friends from training" she said as she thought about Jean and Connie.
they talked for almost an hour before Hanji, Levi, and Eren came back telling them that it didn't work.
Levi was currently angry because apparently Sasha already knew how to activate Eren's titan form and forgot to tell them.
Levi was currently hitting Sasha over the head as Hanji went to talk to Moblit. They ended up leaving Eren with the rest of the Levi Squad, making sure that his arms were wrapped up to stop the bleeding.
" you f****** idiot you didn't think it would be a good idea to let us know this before we started the experiments" Levi yelled at Sasha who looked highly ashamed
" I'm sorry I forgot..." she said as she rubbed the back of her head where she was hit. " I thought you guys already knew..." she said
" you do realize that this is new information for us right" Levi snapped at her with his arms crossed.
" I mean yeah but... It was basic information... that should have been kind of obvious" she whispered only to be hit in the head again. They were actually a little bit further away from the Levi Squad so they wouldn't overhear their conversation.
As they were talking Eren accidentally dropped his spoon that he was using for his tea on the ground. Just as he was about to pick it up lightning hit him and he transformed into his Titan form but it was only his arm.
The lightning shocked everyone. A strong wind that came from Eren transforming quickly blew everyone away. Everyone was shocked for half a second as Eren Jaeger tried to pull his hand out of the Titans skin... Or muscles
" wh...why now?!" Eren yelled
"calm down" he heard Levi's voice.
"Captain Levi! I- I don't know what-" Eren started before realizing Levi wasn't talking to him... Everyone in the Levi Squad was in a battle-ready position... Ready to kill Eren if necessary. Levi was the only one that was currently calm down right next to Sasha who had her sword out pointing it at the rest of the Levi Squad ready to attack anyone who got to close. Eren was shocked to see Sasha on his side protecting him with Levi.
" I said calm down" Levi ordered as he faced his squad " ...all of you," he said as he looked at Sasha from the corner of his eye. Everyone in the Levi Squad was glaring at Eren. It was quite obvious that they no longer trusted him. Sasha was trying her best to block their view from where she was standing but it was no use Eren Jaeger was too high up on the Titans arm and she was still on the ground. The Levi Squad was also surrounding Eren, Sasha was in front of Eren while Levi was behind him covering his back making sure that no one strikes him.
" what was the sound" Hanji yelled running up with Moblit behind her. She was running forward and when she saw Eren had transformed she instantly had a blush on her face before she started screaming and jumped in the air excitedly.
" Eren! What is the meaning of this?!" Eld ordered before Hanji got there
" S-sir?!"
" Why did you do it without permission answer me?!" Eld yelled
" wait Eld" Levi ordered
" answer him Eren! explain yourself!" Oluo yelled over Levi.
"no that can come later" Gunther yelled getting closer " first you need to prove you aren't hostile towards us- no towards Humanity" he glared "Prove it now" he suddenly yelled. Sasha got in front of him making sure that he backed away so that he wouldn't be cut by her swords.
" don't get any closer" Sasha snapped at him with a glare. " I won't hesitate to cut your head off" she snapped making Gunther back up slightly but still glare at her and Eren.
" Why are you defending him he turned without permission" Oluo yelled at her as the Squad glared at both her and Eren
" it was an accident" she snapped back " either all of you back down now or else" she snapped. She knew she couldn't take out the entire Squad by herself but she could at least go down fighting. She of course didn't trust Eren but he was technically the only hope Humanity had to get outside of the walls... To be free.
"I told you all to calm down!" Levi yelled as he watched how Sasha moved. She was actually getting ready to strike... She was in the same position she was usually in before she attacks whatever she is hunting in the middle of the Woods. She is crouched down technically on her hands and legs ready to pounce on whatever caught her eye. He knew that she could not take the entire squad on her own but of course, he also knew that she had a lot of animal instincts and she did not like to be caged in like she was now. If he didn't stop this soon this would end badly for all of them.
" Captain! Sasha! please get away from Eren! you're too close" Petra yelled
" no you're the ones that need to get away" Levi snapped at her. " step back all of you"
" why, sir?!" Petra yelled
" a gut feeling" he snapped back at her. He still had a calm expression over his face as he talked to them.
" what's the idea Eren! Say something!" Eld yelled at him.
" seriously I-"
" don't try anything funny!"
" prove to us"
" Eren"
" Seriously I don't-"
" Answer the question"
" do you think we can't kill you"
" I told you to step back this is your last warning" Sasha yelled over them screaming at Eren.
" I'm serious here"
" answer this instant"
" did you not hear me?!"
" will you guys please be quiet" Eren suddenly yelled
" Eren!" Hanji yelled as she ran to them with a huge smile on her face. she pushed Gunther away. Sasha let Hanji get threw and pushed Gunther back after he accidentally fell forward. She was still glaring at him, him being the only one closest to Eren out of everyone in the Levi squad. " can I touch the arm?!" Hanji yelled " please?! Can I?! Pretty please?! I just want to touch it?!" she begged.
" " Eren whispered "wait don't-" Eren yelled as she didn't wait for a response and touched the arm anyway only to back away seconds after she touched it with her hands burning.
"OWWW... Hot" she yelled before throwing herself to the ground and on her knees with her hands in the air "Damn, it's hot when there's no skin! I'm talking Crazy hot!"
"section commander!" Moblit yelled worried "you live like a maniac!" he snapped at her worried. everyone was looking at her with odd looks as she turned back to Eren
"say! is it not hot for you, Eren," she asked "how is it connected to your right hand?! I really wanna see!" she begged before Eren got a look of realization and started to pull his hand out from the tighten skin.
" don't try anything funny" Oluo yelled at him before Eren got his hand out and he fell to the ground. Instantly Sasha was by his side making sure he was alright and ready to run in case the Levi Squad attacked them
"hold on Eren! that was too soon!" Hanji yelled basically crying "I still wanted to study it!" she stated before she paused to look at the spoon that was between the Titans fingers.
" Captain..."
" How are you feeling?" Levi asked him
" not... Very... Good..." he said before he fell unconscious. Everyone just stared at him and Sasha just covered his body with her own making sure that no one attacked them.
"Moblit take him to his room," Levi ordered. Moblit looked at Hanji who just nodded and started to approach him. Sasha looked at him with a deadly look in her eye. " Sasha back away now" Levi ordered. She hesitated for a moment before she did As Told and letting Moblit pick him up and take him to his room. She just stared at them making sure that nobody followed just in case. Once they were out of sight she turned around to look at the rest of the Levi Squad who is now looking at her. She shook her head before asking to be excused. she honestly felt a little bit ashamed for attacking them as she did. Levi granted her permission to leave only to watch her run away towards the castle.
Later that night when Eren woke up, they were all in the mess hall talking. Sasha was the only one that was not there having been too ashamed to show her face. How could she just threaten the lives of the Levi Squad... The people she was trying to save from dying...
She was currently crying in her room thinking that she probably already f***** up the future (remember she actually did not know that this happened in the original timeline because nobody told her). Hanji came in at some point and ask her if she was okay having heard her sniffling. She just nodded her head and turn the other way in her bed facing the wall. Hanji ended up leaving going to do more research in her lab. Sasha was alone for several minutes before the door opened again.
" Sasha... can we talk," Petra asked. Sasha pretended to be asleep when she heard her voice.
" I know you're awake Sasha... I heard you crying from outside the door" Petra said as she sat down on her bed. Sasha didn't even bother to turn around hearing multiple footsteps approaching her... She knew the entire Levi Squad was currently in the room. " we talked to Eren... We apologize... For what happened... after he explained that it was an accident" she confessed. Sasha still didn't bother to turn around Petra let out a sigh before speaking again " Captain Levi told us how stressed you've been... Since you join us... He told us that he couldn't tell us much information about why you joined us early other than the fact that you know certain things about how Eren can transform into a Titan... We're really sorry for the way we acted towards you and Eren..." she said
" I'm sorry to... I should have been more in control of my emotions" Sasha stated
" it's fine we completely understand." Eld Jumped in
" you were defending one of your friends that you went to class with... We understand what it means to defend one of your own" Gunther jumped in. Sasha turned around and face them slightly.
" We hope you can accept our apology and trust us after today" Eld stated
" yeah... No problem... I hope you guys trust me too" she whispered back. She was debating whether she should tell them the information she had shared before with the commanders and the captains. But she decided that it was better off that she tells them after she told Jean and Connie. "friends?" she asked as she turned around. Levi's Squad looked at her with a smile before nodding their heads
"friends," they all said back before they all left to get some sleep
" trust us," Petra told Eren as they continued to ride at top speed
" Eren! Hurry! Decide already!" Levi yelled at him.
" I'll go with you!" Eren yelled as he continued forward removing his hand from his face. Eren then continues to ignore the people who are dying behind him not wanting to face them with the decision that he has made.
" Target is speeding up" Eld yelled
" Keep moving! We're going to outrun it!" Levi ordered as they continue to run forward. They were all thinking that this might be their final moments alive. This could possibly be the end for everyone there. But just as the female Titan was catching up with them, it's almost like time slows down. All around them they saw many people hiding behind wood planks and on top of the trees.
"Fire!" they heard Erwin's voice call out as the female Titan stopped running. Cannon fire was hurt all around and the female Titan was getting attacked by gigantic Spears attached to Long Steel ropes pinning her in place. The Levi Squad continued forward not bothering to turn around or stop their horses.
" hitch your horses a little further ahead then switch to ODM" Levi ordered them " I have to leave for now... Sasha is in charge of the squad" he ordered shocking everyone " hi Eren a suitable distance away from that Titan... Look after my horse!" he said before swinging away back to where they captured the female Titan.
" you don't mean," Eren said as he looked back at the now captured female Titan. " they're going to take that Titan alive"
Everyone stayed silent for half a second processing that Sasha was now in charge of their squad
" what do you think of that Eren?! We caught that Titan" Gunther stated
" this is the Mite of the Scout regiment don't underestimate us you idiot" Oluo snapped at Eren
" yes!" Eren yelled confidently. Sasha made her horse go faster to catch up with Levi's horse. She was actually more nervous than before... This was actually going to be the hard part of this mission.
LOL sorry for taking so long in getting this chapter out... I've actually been working on a lot of fanfic recently... Mostly my One-Shots. Anyways here are the questions for this chapter
Question 1: was this chapter too long (obviously that's going to be my first question LOL)
Question 2: how do you think the Levi Squad is going to take it now that Sasha is in charge of this mission
Question 3: do you guys think I should still make the Mikasa vs female Titan.
Question 4: in the next chapter who do you believe I should include in knowing the secret
Question 5: how did you like Sasha's reaction throughout this entire chapter
Question 6: do you believe I did too much during the flashback portion of this chapter... Such as Sasha crying
Remember you guys can tell me any grammar errors and I will go back and try to fix them
I also wanted to tell you guys that I already have most things planned out. If you guys have any ideas at all feel free to tell me and I will try to incorporate them into the storyline I already have... Anyways I wanted to ask you guys a question about whether you want a spoiler for later in future chapters...
