I tagged along casually through the dirt covered City as Fuji shuffled forward with a dead weight on his back. Apart from the occasional odd look, we were relatively ignored. That is, until we got to the bottom of the staircase leading to Outside. The pair of men posing as the stair 'security' had come down to greet us, as well as three of the leader's own hoons.
"Going down is easy but going up? You'd need a fortune, man. Especially for you, your girl and this connection of ours you're carrying." Snickered one of the guards and stepped forward, reaching out to pull his leader off Fuji's shoulders. I spun around my comrade and smoothly pulled out a blade, finally resting it against the guard's exposed neck. He froze in shock and his whole body began to tremble slightly.
"You may gain your leader back but you'll lose your head in the process."
"Impossible! She's got a 3DMG, get her!" exclaimed one of the hoons. Fuji sighed and proceeded to slowly move away from me.
"I'll leave you to it then, shall I?"
I glanced over my shoulder at him and smirked, before grabbing the front of my cloak and whipping it off. My familiar green Wings revealed themselves and I quickly readied myself for the onslaught.
"The reason I have 3DMG, is because I'm from the Corps."
The first man came at me from the right, one of the Toria hoons. I spun to face him and raised my right arm, blocking his left swipe. My left came up to block his upcoming right before a yell from behind me broke my focus. I leapt up and flipped backwards, just in time to dodge the barrelling left hoon. I arched my back further and vaulted myself higher, planting my hands on the left hoon's shoulders as he passed underneath me. I immediately flipped right-side up again and shoved both of my boots against his back. The left hoon flew forward and effectively took out his defenseless comrade in front of him. The momentum from my vault had me soaring through the air again and I stretched out my right leg to the side. As I flew backwards, something got caught behind my right kneecap. At the impact, I snapped my leg closed, snagging the last hoon's neck in between. Still air-born, I slipped my left leg behind his back and forced him into a backward flip. Keeping in contact with the body at all times, gravity overtook me and I landed on my two feet, right on the hoon's back. His face was smudged into the mud and made a squish sound as I stepped lightly off him. I smiled and closed my eyes in thought, facing the two remaining stair guards.
"Now where was I? Ah, right. Now that you've admitted to being part of the Toria gang, I'll just have arrest you now-"
Vrrrrrr.
I watched in amusement as the stair guards reeled themselves away, on some 3DMG they had stashed away somewhere. I took a look back at Fuji, who was now making easy progress with the now-awake leader, forcing him to walk. He flicked his head up at the entrance where the two guards had just disappeared into.
"Go ahead, one more suspect couldn't hurt."
I nodded in thanks and began dashing up the stairs towards the second platform where the guards usually sat, halfway between the City and the entrance. I was much faster on my 3DMG than on feet and with that thought, I threw myself off the second platform into the air. I forced myself to turn mid-air, wiring myself to the entrance and used the momentum to swing myself into the tiny hole.
As I reeled myself through the cramped tunnels, mentally retracing my steps, I thanked the Corps for training me so hard with the 3DMG. I would've face planted into a wall otherwise. Soon, a rush of freezing air greeted me as I exited back into Wall Rose. I blinked rapidly to adjust to the sudden moon-lit night and spied Levi out of the corner of my eye, pursuing one of the Toria. I followed him, as I had no idea where the stair guards had split off to.
"Levi!" I called, effectively getting his attention. Instantly knowing what I was after, he flicked his head to the left. I smiled in thanks and then gave him a sharp look.
"No arresting." I warned and veered off. Hopefully that Corporal of an idiot remembers his place in this case.
As I headed towards the general direction of the Survey Corps HQ, my eyes darted around for another flying figure. He must have went this way, there were no vacant buildings for hideouts yet.
There!
I abruptly changed the direction of my flight path and narrowed my eyes at the flying Toria hoon in front of me. thoughts raced through my mind. Should I arrest another one for clarification of stories? Or should I leave him to lead me to potentially one of his hideouts? Hold on, Levi could do the latter. He wasn't allowed to arrest anyone anyway.
In that case…
I triggered a blast of gas from the canisters, shoving high up into the air. From that vantage point, I swiveled to the left and shot my right wire. The metal end clipped the hoon's right canister, ripping a tear through the side. The leaking gas erupted from the tear, forcing the offender to pirouette in the air. As they turned to face me, I attached my left wire to the building wall behind the hoon and I zoomed forward, my right fist out and ready for their stomach. We collided hard as I continued to reel the wire in and soon I had the gasping Toria member pinned up against the brick wall.
"Run and die." I murmured before releasing my hold on him and the both of us dropped to the cobble-stoned ground.
"Need some help there?"
I glanced over my shoulder to spot Levi watching me from a nearby roof.
"Nah, I'm good. Did you get the spot of the other hideout?" I replied and knelt to tie the hoon up.
"It's on the south-west part of Wall Rose."
"Good. Well now, there's only one problem left." I turned to Levi, looking up at him. His eyebrow raised in question.
"Who's gonna interrogate them?"
We both moved our gazes back to the Toria member.
