AN: Alright! Here we are at Chapter VI! You know, I just realized something; my weekend is going to be shit. Sure, I get to go on a tropical island as a vacation (Boracay is an island, right?) and missing a couple of school days in the process but I HAVE to get on a plane (which isn't a good thing for me since it's monsoon season here) and while I'm there, Petra's most likely going to die in the next episode (Sorry for the spoil to those who don't know what'll happen) so I'm probably gonna be grumpy and sensitive the entire time, so I'll probably crash while riding an ATV, a buggy or a jet ski. Anyways, Thanks to those who reviewed! I hope you guys enjoy this. I apologize if Levi and Petra are a bit OOC here but I still hope you guys enjoy it.

CHAPTER VI:

BAD LUCK AND A BREACH

After that scuffle that Levi and Cassandra had, Levi retreated back to his room after Hanji treated his wounds. He had to admit; that brat can pack quite a punch. And a kick. When he entered the room, Petra was sitting on their bed.

"I don't have time for this." He stated emotionlessly. Outside, even thought everyone pretty much knew that they were married, they still treated each other as superior and subordinate but in the confines of their room; they were just Levi and Petra.

"You know you could've killed her, right?" Petra asked him as he looked out the window.

"I know."

"Just tell me this, Levi; why do you hate her so much? Is-is it because she looks like me and Celeste?" Petra asked him, obviously trying to hold back her anger.

"That's one of three parts of it. Another is because whenever we see her, we hope for it. Another part is I don't want her to be Celeste." Levi answered, his face staying the same.

"But why don't you want her to be? I don't understand?"

"Because I wanted to be the one who'll raise her! I wanted to be her father! Not a married couple from the future! I wanted to watch her grow up! The same as you, Petra! Celeste is dead, alright! And nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will bring her back!"

When Levi looked at Petra, she wasn't crying but rather, she looked very angry.

"Hanji told me that Cassandra sometimes wonders why I married you. I'm starting to ask myself that question as well." Petra said before leaving the room. Levi, being the detached ass that he is, just plopped down on his bed. All of a sudden, it hit him. He didn't simply hate Cassandra because she could possibly be Celeste. He didn't hate Cassandra; he hated himself. He hated himself for being a failure as a Father. He hated himself for not doing everything he could to protect his little girl. Another thing is that he was also scared; scared of facing Cassandra if she is Celeste. If Cassandra is Celeste, after everything he's done to her now, would she be able to forgive him? Would she hate him? Or would she still see him as a father?

Levi was scared of facing his own daughter.

Cassandra woke up in her room yet again. Her face stung and feels like a bunch of hornets dive-bombed it. She sat up once again and cradled her head. It hurt. A lot.

'I swear to God, I'm starting to have brain damage.' She thought to herself. She grabbed a mirror from her bag and saw just how bad the damage is. She had a split lip, a cut in her cheek, a bandage by her eye, her scar reopened and look, a bruise by her mouth. Putting the mirror back, she tried to stand up. But of course, something will stop her.

"SON OF A BITCH!" She yelled as she was forced back on her bed. Cassandra's ribs hurt so badly. When she lifted her shirt up, there was a bandage on her chest.

'Suck it up, Knight.' She thought to herself and she forced herself to stand up. When she was able to do that, she tried to walk.

Aaaand she fell on her stomach.

"Help." Cassandra muttered miserably. Seeing as no one was going to come help her, she forced herself to get up again. There was a spike of pain on her left leg, each time she walked. Cassandra limped out of the room and downstairs. She limped towards the dining room where she can hear the others talking.

"Hello?" She greeted as she entered.

"Hey, look who's awake." Armin pointed out as Cassandra entered the room. Unfortunately for her, when she entered, the door closed and slammed on her right leg. Cassandra bit her tongue to prevent herself from screaming.

"Um…the door just slammed on your leg." Eren pointed out.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Cassandra said to gritted teeth. When she was about to move, someone opened the door, which caused her to fall. Again.

"Good grief." She muttered.

"Oh, sorry." Cassandra heard a familiar voice say. She was hoisted up and saw that it was Petra.

"Come on. Sorry about that." She repeated as she took Cassandra to the table. Cassandra sat down while Petra gave her a bowl of soup.

"Thanks." Cassandra said. They ate and chat for a bit until Hanji and Commander Irvin entered the room. They all stood up and saluted him. Though that was extra pain for Cassandra's chest.

"At ease. Knight, I hear you graduated 3rd of your class." The Commander said.

"Yes, sir." She answered.

"That's good. I could use someone like you, given that you mastered the 3DMG in 30 minutes." Irvin said before slapping her shoulder. She whimpered in pain immediately.

"God, what happened to your face?" He asked as they sat down. Just then, Levi entered the room.

"He rearranged it." She answered.

"Alright. I already talked to Zackley. We've been approved for another expedition. We leave next week."

Everyone stayed silent at the news. Cassandra decided to step up.

"Another Expedition to retake Wall Maria?" Cassandra asked him and Irvin nodded. Personally, she thinks the Expeditions are wastes of time. Just then, they heard bells ringing. Cassandra stood up and limped out of the HQ. She saw smoke in Trost. Almost like there are burning houses. The others came out and saw it.

"Trost is burning. It looks like titans are attacking." Cassandra said. Cassandra went back and grabbed her 3DMG and her swords. Her watch was on her wrist. If she did it now, she could get to Trost and aid the Garrison.

"I'll go on ahead. You guys follow on your horses." She said as she turned her watch twice. Cassandra willed everything to create an ice path. Then she created ice blades on her boots. After that she jumped on the path. She created the path as she went. When she got inside Trost, she melted the ice blades with fire. And drew her blades and hooked on the nape of a titan's neck. Cassandra stabbed her blades in and slashed the nape. She used her ice again and slid towards the other titans instead of using her hooks. Cassandra killed any titan in sight.

"HELP!" She heard someone yell. She looked to her right and saw the person in need of help.

Historia Reiss.

"Not this shit again." Cassandra muttered. She directed her ice towards the girl. Like the hero in movies, Cassandra swooped down and grabbed Historia before a titan crushed her like ladybug.

"You again?" Historia asked her.

"A simple thank you would suffice." Cassandra retorted as she set Historia down on a safe spot.

"Thank you." The blonde girl said.

"What's wrong with your gear?" Cassandra asked. She can see the Spec Ops Squad taking down some of the Titan's.

"Ran out of gas." She answered. Cassandra sighed and looked at her own gear.

"I have an idea." Cassandra told her. "Take off your gear."

A couple of minutes later, Historia has two new canisters of barely used gas.

"Go. I'll be fine." She said. Historia nodded and left. Cassandra continued using her ice to take down Titans.

'How did they get in? I thought Trost has a boulder blocking the entrance?' She thought. Cassandra fought her way to the entrance of Trost. That's when she saw it. The boulder has been destroyed. By none other than the Armoured Titan, whom she saw running away.

"Don't chase him. Or do something stupid, kid." She heard someone say. Cassandra saw Captain Jackass standing there.

"Captain…"

"Leave him. We'll find an alternative way of blocking it." Levi told the girl. Now that he's looking at her, he sees the same determination that Petra has in fighting the titans. What he didn't see is the fear that most new recruits have.

"You're not scared. Most recruits are. Usually it stems from watching their friends get eaten." He told her. Cassandra leaped off her ice slide and onto the roof beside him.

"I don't have friends remember. I don't have anything to lose. Well, I'd regret not saving Miss Petra and the others though." She answered emotionlessly. Levi seethed at that moment. It was like she was implying that he couldn't take care of his own wife.

"I can block it." She decided. He looked at her a second too late. Cassandra raised her watch, willed all her mental power and shot the ice towards the hole. It created a very thick wall of ice.

"Tell them not to go anywhere near it. Or at least where a really thick coat." Cassandra said. They saw that most of the titans were getting wiped out. With that, Cassandra collapsed on her knees and everything went black.

AN: That's pretty much it. You can kinda see the effort going away in the end. Sorry for that. I'm kinda sick today. Sorry if Levi and Petra are a bit OOC here. Thanks to those who will review.
