The Expedition

Levi P.O.V. [Oh yeah, Levi's gettin' some love! *shot*]

The day after Erwin talked to me in the hallway, I was called to his office for a meeting. I checked and cleaned my office of any specks of dirt left by the messenger, and left. When I opened the door to the office, I was a little surprised to see the other squad leaders in there as well, including Hanji, Mike, and Erwin himself. The others were whispering among themselves.

"Glad to see you could all make it," Erwin announced, all attention was on him now, "I wanted to tell you all that we are going on an expedition soon, as most of you already know." Some people glanced around.

"But, this won't be like any other expedition. I want you to tell your members to not attack any titans unless necessary," some people nodded, "and, when we are outside of the walls you are to give the members of your squads' one instruction…."

Mikasa P.O.V.

"Look for the Darkened Sun." that's what Captain Levi told us, but I don't understand, what the heck is 'the Darkened Sun'? Is it something found outside the walls, like in Armin's book? It looks like the others don't get this strange instruction either. Yet, here we are, outside the walls, on an expedition looking for something that none of us are familiar with.

"Hey, Mikasa," Jean called from nearby, "Find anything?"

"Nope, nothing that resembles a 'Darkened Sun'" I shot out my grappling hooks to where Jean was and landed a branch just below him with the 3D-gear.

"Yeah, me neither. What is that anyway?" I just shrugged at his question and zoomed off with my gear when I spotted Eren talking with Armin.

Eren P.O.V.

"What?! So there may be a fourth military branch out there? And you didn't tell me about it this entire time?" I asked Armin. He and I split off from the rest of our squad when Captain Levi told us to separate and search for the supposed 'Darkened Sun'. Armin nodded at my statement. He had just told about his suspicions and discoveries about another military branch beside the Military Police, the Garrison, and the Survey Corps.

"And if I'm correct, this expedition-" Just then, Mikasa came and landed next to me.

I turned to her, "Any luck?" she shook her head. I was about to say something when I felt the tree we were standing on shaking violently. Some birds flew out of some other trees and I heard what sounded like footsteps, giant footsteps.

"TITANS ARE APPROACHING!" Sasha called from somewhere, and instantly, Mikasa and I were zooming towards the alarm. I have no idea where Armin went; I assume he's behind us, or he went to go tell Levi. Sighting a titan, I told Mikasa to slice the neck while I distracted it from below. Once we killed that one, we were able to bring down two more. After Mikasa and I helped get rid of the titans, we landed on a nearby tree.

"Hey, Eren," I turned to her.

"Yeah?"

"What's that?" she pointed at something in the distance.

*SMALL TIME SKIP-Brought to you by Levi cleaning your screen*

Eren P.O.V.

"Captain Levi," I called to the shorter man, "We found something!"

"Well, bring it over already," I heard him say. Both Mikasa and I jumped down from the trees using our 3DMG and landed near Levi and our friends. I took the item from Mikasa and held it up. It was a cloak, a dark green one, like the ones we use in the Survey Corps. But, instead of the wings of freedom as its emblem, it had a black crescent moon that made up a third of a golden sun with curving rays on the side. All of us stared at the odd symbol while Levi shot a yellow flare, alerting the others we found something. Suddenly, there was a whirring sound, and it took me a minute to realize that the cause of that noise was someone using their 3DMG gear, and they were getting closer.

"Was there a problem?" Sasha wondered.

"No, there couldn't have been," Armin stated, "there were no flares other than ours."

"Oh, there's a problem alright, but not the kind you would expect," Levi narrowed his eyes, "You brats better be quiet or-"

"Levi! Did you find something?" someone called, but it was just Hanji and Commander Erwin, along with their squads.

Levi scoffed, "Of course we did, that's what the flare was for, idiot."

Hanji just smiled, but when she saw the cloak we had, she smiled even bigger and her eyes lit up. Erwin spoke up,"Good, but we better keep searching. Although, I regret having you send a flare because now they know we're here-"

"Well, if it isn't the Survey Corps," a voice announced in the distance, "Long time no see." I turned around and saw a figure in the shadows leaning on the base of a nearby tree. It stood up, and walked towards us, into the sunlight. When I could see their face, my eyes widened a little in shock. It was a woman; she wore a typical military uniform with a dark green shirt underneath, along with a black and gold bolo tie and 3D-gear. She had slightly narrowed silver eyes and her mouth was put into a small smirk. Her uniform jacket had the same symbol as the cloak we found did, but what caught my attention most was her hair. It was jet black and slightly wavy near the ends, she had it in a high ponytail so it reached her shoulders at most, but the way her bangs were styled made her look just like a certain someone…

Whoa, she's like a female version of Captain Levi! I thought.

When she turned her head and looked directly at me, I flinched. I don't know why, she just didn't seem… human to me

"I believe that is my cloak you're holding." She gestured with her hand, her smirk never leaving her face. I looked down at the cloak in my hands; I had completely forgotten it was there! Quickly, I began walking towards her, but she stopped me. "You can just throw it to me," she held out her hand in front of her, ready to catch it. I did as I was told and tossed the green article at her, which she caught with ease and proceeded to put it on. Erwin coughed a tiny bit to catch her attention, all eyes turned to her as we anticipated her next move.

"Hey Erwin, how have you been?" she greeted, not even caring that everyone was staring at her.

"I have been faring well, Commander." The very moment Erwin mention 'Commander', everyone, except Hanji, Levi, and Erwin, saluted.

The woman chuckled, "At ease men, I'm not your commander, after all." She walked towards Erwin and everyone cleared the way for her. Soon, she was a few feet from Erwin. "So, what brings you to this part of the forest?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.

"We would like to recruit you back," Erwin stated.

The woman laughed bitterly, "Recruit me back? As in, back inside the walls?" Erwin nodded, and she began to circle around him, "Really? Because, as I'm sure you recall, my entire legion has been dubbed: 'Too dangerous for humanity' by the king, correct?" she air quoted and some people's eyes widened in shock at these words.

Erwin shook his head, "Times have passed, Commander," he then glanced at the crowd forming around them, "We should continue this elsewhere."

The woman stopped walking, "You're right, we can finish this at headquarters. Your troops look like they'll need a place to stay anyway. There are more than just titans around here," she said in a business-like tone. I looked up, and saw the sun was beginning to set. Then, Connie slowly raised his hand, when the woman nodded he stated nervously, "But ma'am, the Survey Corps HQ is far from here."

The woman smiled, "Not your HQ, cadet, mine. We're going to the headquarters of the Minoru Legion."

Hello! It's the Author again! First off: sorry if I was a bit too descriptive on the mysterious woman's appearance... I tend to be a bit detail oriented.

So, yeah! First chapter up and I'm hoping to be able to post the next one soon! Take us away Armin!

Armin: "A-alright. Uh, see you then reader!" *Smiles and waves*

Just smile and wave, boys, just smile and wave. Sorry I had to XD hooray to those who get the reference!
