okay I have no words for such late update. I won't make any excuses. I lost it. I lost my inspiration. I got writer block.
I don't want to write, the words make me dizzy.
Recently I got back a few sparks so here is the new chapter.
Sorry.
"It's over, Levi."
Kaney started shooting non-stop at Levi. Although Kaney was well-known as the invincible, Levi was also not a child-play. The shortie managed to dodge most of the bullets.
The situation was not in flavor of him. He knew Kaney was just too strong.
Retreat might be the best way. Though looking at the corpse of his comrade lying there on the roof hurt him, he had to go.
As soon as he jumped down from the roof, he realized a trap was set for him. Guys in 3DMG showed up and surrounded him.
" Shit." - He mumbled, decided to hide in the nearby bar first before figuring out what to do next.
Of course Kaney followed.
Not so far away, the lady in black cloak was pretty curious about what was happening inside the bar. But Kaney's henchmen were all over the house. She then found a binocular next to a corpse of a woman.
"...I think I can borrow this." - She took it up and started observing.
"Levi, where are you? Come out here, I missed you."
"Miss me? Your way of showing affection is to shoot me to death?"
"Oh yes. Seeing you dead would make me happy, especially the color of your brain after I shoot it all out."
"And after killing lots of the Military Police, now you become one of them? You know Kaney, this is the first time I want to laugh at your stupid jokes."
"Adults have their problems, you can't understand. Oh wait, even though you're still a midget, you actually have reached the age."
"You killed my comrades. Is that one of your sick hobbies?"
"I'll do anything to achieve my dream. You kill too, right?"
"...Indeed."
Levi found two guns underneath the shelves. The owner must have kept them for "rainy days".
To defeat Kaney would be hard, he had to come up with something unexpected. An idea popped up, as he decided to turn a wine bottle around. Instead of showing the label, the glass bottle now looked like a mirror, reflecting Kaney.
Still hiding under the counter, Levi put the guns on the table, aiming for Kaney.
Through the mirror, he aimed Kaney and shot the guns.
Bang bang, the impact of the gunshots pushed Kaney through the door and the man ended up lying on the ground.
"Woah! Shooting backwards! That guy is something." - The lady admired Levi before throwing the binocular away, and took out her guns "Now I need to help him escape. The henchmen would be easy to take down."
A chair was thrown out from the window. Thinking it was Levi, all the guys started shooting at it, which Levi took that chance and ran out.
One of the gun shot actually hit him on the face. Blood was all over half of it.
He started the 3DMG, shooting the hook right in the throat of a henchman, killed him instantly.
Levi used his corpse as a shield to take all the gunshots for him.
With two blades on his hands, he killed the next two guys by cutting the nape of their neck. Guessed it was a habit from killing titans.
His squad was waiting for him, so he had to give them new orders fast.
He flew at full speed towards the gate, aware of the Military Police flying right behind him.
The plan was Armin riding a carriage, Jean, Sasha and Connie kept the horses, waiting for his signal to chase after the carriage carrying two coffins.
"Levi!" - Mikasa shouted as their captain flying through the gates.
"Abort the plan. They see through all of my moves. We need to retreat for now! Sasha, Connie, keep your eyes on the horse. Jean, get inside the carriage, take down anyone that comes close. Armin, keep running to the left. Mikasa, use your 3DMG to fight with me."
"Aye sir."
"What about Eren and Historia?" - Mikasa asked.
"We have to let them go."
"...fine."
"Kill if needed."
"I understand."
Jean was shocked. First, Mikasa actually gave up on pursuing Eren. Second, "kill"? How could she take the order so easily.
The henchmen gathered more and more around the squad.
Levi and Mikasa joined force and took them down. Humanity's strongest soldiers weren't just a meaningless title.
Corpses fell on the ground continuously. Cut in halves, beheaded, throat-slashed.
"Mikasa! Behind you!" - Sasha shouted.
Mikasa turned back, raising her blades, but the guy behind her was already about to pull the trigger of his gun.
Bang!
Somebody was shot. But it wasn't Mikasa.
The guy dropped his gun and collapsed on the roof, blood spilling out of his head.
"Who was it?" - Mikasa looked around for her savior "Levi, do you know?"
"I don't. But whoever that is, he's our ally. He helped me with Kaney as well." - Levi assumed it was a guy, due to such crazy shooting skills, almost as great as Kaney.
There was a henchwoman approaching Jean, as Mikasa quickly kicked her head, causing her to fall onto the carriage.
"Stay still or I'll shoot!" - Jean stood in front of her with a gun.
But as soon as she looked up, she looked helpless, like a common human. Jean couldn't pull the trigger.
In his weak moment, she kicked his arm and took his gun. The table turned, now it was her turn, with a gun, aiming at Jean.
There was a difference though. It was that she was not hesitated in killing him.
"Jean!" - Mikasa shouted, praying she made it in time.
A trigger was pulled and there was blood.
In the mean time, the carriage with two coffins had arrived, later than planned since their horses were shot. The coffins were opened, containing Eren and Historia inside.
There were Lod Reiss and Kaney standing in front of them.
"This guy is Reiss? Historia's dad?" - Eren wondered "Then he's our enemy. He's a scum too according to Historia's story."
"Historia?" - Lod called out for his daughter.
She didn't answer, instead giving him death stare. She hated him, so much that his face disgusted her.
"I'm sorry." - He murmured, which surprised both of the kids. Then he hugged his daughter tightly, as if he was really happy to see her.
"Sorry I'm late." - A lady entered the basement.
She was a beautiful woman, with red curly hair. Her name was Valeria. She was originally Reiss' mistress, but due to her intelligence, which had helped Reiss with more than half of his business, she was treated with respect, unlike Historia's mom.
"So this is your daughter?" - She smiled and head towards Historia "I'm Valeria."
The girl didn't answer.
"Right! Reiss, your newest business partner, his name was Heinz or something, called you. He said it's an emergency." - Valeria said.
"Heinz? It maybe because of the goods transportation. Sorry Historia, I'll come back later." - Reiss stood up and left the room hurrily.
"Seriously, they are kids, why the hell did you tie them up like that?" - Valeria looked at Kaney .
"That boy can bite himself and turn to a titan." - Kaney answered. Gosh he hated noisy woman like her.
"Well he's smart enough to know if he transforms here, he'll kill Historia as well. Beside, he needs to eat."
"Suppose you're right. Untie his mouth only."
Valeria took away the roll in Eren's mouth, then took the water she brought with her and offered him "Here. Drink some."
"I don't need you to pity me." - He refused her offer.
"Well you need to live right? I can't let a kid die on my watch."
He finally accepted and drank the water. Yes he needed to live. To come back to Mikasa. To take over the government.
Valeria offered him bread and the same to Historia.
She walked back to Kaney after that, smirked at him "So who got the great Kaney Ackerman shot?"
"Ackerman?!" - Eren thought, widened his eyes.
"That midget Levi." - Kaney grunted.
"Oh. That reminds me, you two are not the only "Ackerman" in town. I've heard rumors of a girl named Mikasa Ackerman, with a strength worth 100 soldiers."
"Top of the 104th trainees? Yes I've heard about her. Shame she didn't join the Military Police. She could be my next student."
"It's not too late." - She smiled "We can go get her, now."
"What makes you think she will accept?"
"I have my ways. I need you to co-opperate though."
"She'll never join you!" - Eren shouted.
"Oh, so you're her friend." - Valeria grinned "I can use you then."
OK I will update the next chapter right after this.
