Scanning the area, Levi looked for Petra and Eren amongst the chaos of the battle between his squad and the female Titan. They were all barely getting by, and several members of the squad were hurt. Yet, they still continued to fight, refusing to lose or give up.

"Damn it… Where are you guys?" he said under his breath, looking around then to see Eren advancing towards the female Titan. His eyes narrowed, seeing Eren slashing at the Titan then retreating back to the trees to emerge a few seconds later with his cloak on.

That damned kid was going to get them all killed if he continued to distract the female Titan. The whole point of the Special Operations Squad wasn't only to keep tabs on Eren, but to protect him… even if it meant their lives. And obviously Eren wasn't getting the memo at the moment as everyone was trying to draw it away from him.

Levi advanced towards the Titan once more at an unbelievable speed, but it's attention was fully directed towards Eren. It's skin turned into the crystalline structure once again, his blades shattering immediately on contact. He cursed out loud before retreating again, quickly checking his squad's condition. Gunther and Eld seemed fine with minor injuries, Oluo was severely hurt, gashes covering his back and stomach, and Petra was no where to be seen.

Where are you? he thought, his eyes narrowing as he saw Eren going further and further from them. Just then he heard the sound of a 3DMG, turning towards the sound he saw what had to be Petra coming towards them. He sighed in relief, thankful that she was okay and unhurt, a bit of his feelings for her getting in the way of his main concerns.

As she continued to come towards them, his eyes narrowed as he realized something about her was off. He immediately went on guard, drawing a pair of new blades. Everyone saw his motion and did the same, except for Oluo.

The cloaked figure landed next to him and took the hood off, everyone's eyes widening in surprise as they saw who it was.

"Eren?!" they all said at the same time, worry and unrest replacing the adrenaline the entire squad had felt before. Levi quickly put his arm out to stop Oluo from injuring himself further, and to try and restore calm.

"Where is she?! You left her to face that damned thing… ALONE?!" Oluo shouted angrily, pushing Levi out of the way and limping towards Eren.

"Oluo, calm down and rest. You're going to hurt yourself more if you continue what you're doing" he said, giving up the peaceful approach and restraining him. Thankfully, Oluo didn't fight to break free of his grasp, but he still continued to yell.

"I SWEAR I'M GOING TO RIP YOU TO SHREDS YEAGER. YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE NEVER EVEN FUCKING BORN! I'LL FEED YOU TO THE FUCKING TITANS MYSELF IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES YOU ASSHOLE! I DON'T CARE IF YOU CAN TURN YOURSELF INTO ONE! I'M GOING TO FUCKING MURDER YOU! " Oluo yelled, now beginning to struggle from Levi's grasp. His eyes were burning with fury and as Levi looked down at his uniform, he saw that fresh blood had stained his uniform, and it was probably Oluo's.

"PETRA'S GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU YEAGER!" he started to scream, going into hysterics. Already, Levi had heard enough of what Oluo was saying and quickly found a pressure point, pressing hard. He emitted a yelp then went limp in Levi's arms, and he quickly laid him down, a bit worried. The heat coming from him was intense and he was losing blood.

"Damn…. Anyone else have any comments?" he asked menacingly as he looked back at the rest of his squad, "Petra is a capable soldier, and she's dealt with these types of situations before. She trusts all of us, even the brat over there… So I suggest getting your acts together."

Eld and Gunther nodded, their faces grim but determined. He looked at them for a few moments before turning around and glaring at Eren. He walked towards him and pulled him to his feet, showing no emotion as Eren yelped in protest.

"You better hope this goes according to your plan Yeager… If it doesn't.. I'll deal with you personally" he said scathingly. He then pushed Eren away and looked in the direction Petra went in, remembering what she said to him.

Stay safe Petra… Keep your promise he thought towards her, the wind starting to pick up, the forest groaning in protest of the battle that was ensuing.
