Magical Chapter 30! I can't thank you enough for all you readers giving this little story-plot a go :D Sorry for the late update but it has been exam weeks so currently flat out studying haha :'( anyway, i am running out of ideas so anything that you want to happen/seems like a good idea, I'm OPEN. I'll put it into the plot when it seems right but yeah, OPEN IDEAS PLEASE :) Enjoy!


"Ready to go?"

I glanced over at Fuji, barely visible under the long cloak that he wore. We were currently huddling just outside one of the Underground Maze's many entrances. Fuji and I were docked out in Survey Corps uniforms, hidden brilliantly by some thick brown cloaks. Even with my 3DMG on, I had readjusted it so it was in defense mode, laying against my thighs rather than outwards. Levi watched the entrance for any unwanted viewers.

"I have a bad feeling about this." I honestly replied. He immediately shushed me.

"Don't jinx it. We've only got one shot at this. Screw it up and they'll know and move their quarters before we can even kill a Titan."

"With Levi here, that's fucking fast then."

"Stop being a smart ass, Survey Corps and let's get moving."

"Yes sir."

Underneath my cloak, Levi had suggested into reverting back into Survey Corps uniform to explain for my 3DMG movements should I eventually use it. Also to explain that it wasn't the MP after them but the Corps. With knowledge that the Corps had nothing to do with the corruption, scaring the MP with the fact that their own kind was onto them would not be the best idea. Orders would be given out and Fuji would be forced to shut the case down against his wishes. So, Fuji had also been provided with a temporary Survey Corps green cover.

"Final plan, go through it again." Levi crossed his arms and looked at us sternly again. I internally rolled my eyes. Typical Levi to act as if he was the head of this case. Fuji obliged.

"We go in, scout the place asking for 3DMG, and then hopefully get led to them."

"Take note of who is the distributor and then scatter them. Take one into custody for questioning, follow others to see their other hiding places and then let the others pass on the message that the Corps is onto their ass. Hopefully this leads to the leader panicking and making a mistake. Under no circumstances are you to be the one to arrest anyone Levi." I turned my harsh gaze onto him and met his steel eyes. "If it was found that Corporal Levi was disobeying orders of the Commander Erwin, as well as being directly related to the previous incident, the whole case falls in their hands. Should a curse befall on you should that happen." I threatened.

The cold night turned silent as Levi and I began to have a glaring match, Fuji standing awkwardly between us.

"I'm sure he understands, now let's get going before the night passes by us." Fuji smiled brightly and began shoving me towards the opening of the Underground Maze.

After following Levi's instruction to make it through the maze, Fuji and I soon stood at the top of the long staircase, looking down on the dimly lit Underground night. Completely safe from Titans, the Underground nightlife was relatively more active than that of above ground. Nodding at each other, we began our descent, our boots scraping the dirt stairs.

"Well lookie here, fellas. We have a cute couple coming home from staring at the sun. How was your trip out folks? You know, it costs to go back home."

My hand clenched into a fist and I tried not to show my face. Fuji stood up, pulling out a few coins and handed them over. Successfully, the stair 'security' let us through and we continued our mission. Fuji and I would then split, keeping in contact with our intuition. Fuji was the critical hit, as he did not have his 3DMG on him, to seem more persuasive to find some. I would follow him from some distance, making sure he didn't get into anything too deep. Levi was waiting outside, ready to follow some as they scattered. I crawled up into the roofs and watched Fuji as he made his way around on ground, asking around for 3DMG weapons. Most of the time he was turned away or ignored, people walking past him or shaking their heads. I silently leapt from building to building, watching my partner as he navigated the dirt streets down below me. He soon took a break, moving away from the streets and into a deserted alleyway.

"You're killing me here." I breathed over the edge, just loud enough for him to hear, brushing my hair away from my face. Strands had fallen out of my ponytail as I leapt above gaps and made my way across the sky.

"You're telling me." came the quiet voice of Fuji and I stifled a laugh. "Oh wait a sec…"

I paused at the warning and waited silently. At a faint crackle of dirt moving, I could tell Fuji was no longer alone.

"Rumour is there's a guy wanting some air time. Are you the 3DMG?" asked a croaky voice. I froze. This was it!

"Yes, I am. I'm sick of the MP flying around like they own this place and want to give them a piece of my mind." Lied Fuji, despite knowing that the fact was partially true. I made an impressed face. Not bad, Fuji.

"All right arms out. Gotta make sure you're not secretly spying on us and all."

I made another impressed face. Good thing we didn't put anything on Fu- the uniform! My eyes shot open and I placed my hands on my weapons, ready to draw them out the second Fuji screamed.

I waited…and waited. Nothing.

Confused, I carefully poked my head over the edge and spied Fuji walking away with a dark covered burly man. How…? Then I spotted the abandoned green Survey Corps cloak half buried under the dirt path. Fuji must've hidden it the minute he saw someone heading his way. My head snapped up just to see the two round the corner. I sighed at the distance between us and hurriedly yanked the spare green Wings out. This stalking thing kinda sucked…

I pulled my cloak tighter around me and continued to follow the pair until we eventually came to the extreme corner of the Underground City. The lights barely reached here and sometimes I had to squint to make out the figures moving through the darkness. There was a pause as they stopped and I halted in my tracks. A bright light soon pierced the darkness as a door opened and then closed.

Then, it was time for more waiting.

The plan was for Fuji to get strapped into some working 3DMG so he wouldn't be completely defenseless when I crashed the party. Also, we'd have to communicate our targets extremely quickly. The sign was to be done where I could see him now that was out of the picture...

I glanced at a nearby lantern and judged the size of the candle.

"I'd reckon fifteen minutes should do the job."
