Ace: Back with another chapter, and I intend to start the next chapter soon.

Chapter 7: The Battle to Save Trost

"You ready Eren?" I yelled as I stood on a rooftop.

Eren nodded back. "I am!"

Armin stood beside me and crossed his fingers. "I hope this works..."

Eren bit his hand, and smoke appeared. When it dissipated, the Titan form appeared. I couldn't help but be amazed. It was both scary and comforting at the same time. To have a being like this on Humanity's side... And maybe mine too.

A plan to destroy the Military Police came to mind, but I pushed to the side. As much as I wanted to fulfill my revenge, I had to survive this ordeal...

"Mikasa!" Armin yelled.

I snapped back into focus as a giant hand came towards me. Jumping to the side, I managed to evade the majority of the attack, with only a minor cut on my face.

"Mikasa!" Armin screamed.

I kept dodging the attacks Titan Eren gave me. After a few minutes, Titan Eren fell down.

"Damn" I muttered. "So much for doing a good deed."

Armin looked at me. "What do you mean?"

"Um... I-I-"

"I know what you mean," Armin interjected nervously. "The MP Hunter wants to have a good deed on her résumé. And you want to save lives. And-"

"I get it, Armin. But what now?"

Armin looked super nervous. I spun in a circle, trying to locate Titans and soldiers. I didn't see any, by some miracle.

Armin used his gear to get closer to Eren. "Hm... What if..."

"What are you doing?!"

Armin picked his blade shakily. "If I don't hit the center... I'll be fine." With that, Armin stabbed the left side of the neck area of the Titan.

My jaw dropped, but before I could ask what was happening and why Armin had suddenly stabbed his best friend, I saw two Titans coming to us from a distance. Sighing, I jumped off the roof and used my gear to eliminate the Titans.

It took a while to get the Titans down, mainly because I would kill my target, and another one would appear nearby. After what seemed like forever (But it was more like ten minutes, although I'm not entirely sure, because no one really keeps track of time while killing enemies), I could hear Armin screaming at me do he could get my attention.

"Mikasa! Keep protecting Eren!"

"I could run out of gas soon!"

"Then improvise, MP Hunter! You do lots of stuff without your gear!"

Titans kept swarming from all directions, and I used the roofs to kill them for a few minutes, while I silently cursed at them and Armin, although I disliked swearing at people (unless they were Military Police. Then that's a totally different story). It wasn't until I heard Armin cheering that I realized what had happened.

Looking towards the gate, my suspicions were confirmed. Armin woke up Titan Eren and convinced him to put the rock in front of the gate. Titan Eren then began to attack all surrounding Titans. When that was done, he proceeded to collapse as his body began to fade.

Angrily, I got to the ground where Armin was, and when I got closer, I slammed him against the rock, causing him to cry out in pain.

"I could have died! Next time give me a heads up when you do something crazy or when something that has failed in a plan suddenly helps us or changes!"

Armin squeaked. "But Mikasa! There wasn't enough time! If I had explained it to you, we could have died, thus causing multiple deaths in Trost! And it would be our fault for failing!" After a few seconds, his eyes widened. "And I need to get Eren out of his Titan body!"

I angrily let go of him. "Fine."

Armin looked down with tears in his eyes, causing guilt to stab my heart multiple times. I sighed and began to reach my arm out to him. "I'm just frustrated-"

A foot came into contact with my back, and I fell forward as it pushed me. Armin yelped in surprise and his eyes widened at my assailant.

What's happening to me? Who caught me? I thought while my mind began to panic. In all my years as the MP Hunter, I never got caught. The one time I attempt to help, everything crashes down and I'm in custody. Damn.

"Stupid brat," a masculine voice muttered.

I glanced up. This guy with black hair and a green jacket looked unfamiliar to me. But he wasn't to Armin.

"Captain Levi! W-What are you doing here?"

"I was told of trouble in the Trost district, and I arrived as fast as I could. Explain everything to me, kiddo."

I tried to get up, but Levi pushed his foot down harder.

"I presume that the MP Hunter kidnapped you?" Levi asked Armin.

Armin shook his head quickly, then remembered that Eren was still in the Titan, so he went to release him.

Levi kept his foot on me. "MP Hunter... We're going to have a long talk. Right after I figure what that... Thing is." He pointed to Eren.

I growled, knowing that my life was in hell, and that I cannot escape.

Levi smirked. "I hope you'll cooperate. It would be a pity if you were to be executed by some Military Police Member the minute they see you. So do as I say, or else."

Ace: Poor Mikasa... I can't believe that she got caught... And by Levi, of all people...

I apologize if I made any OOC, although their OOC personalities do make the story more interesting and fun to write.

Anyhow, thanks for your support for this story. With any luck, I'll update the next chapter soon.
