Everyone in the Black Order has had their fair share of the Military Police. Some experiences are more drastic than others.
Allen has been in the MP only once before, and he was immediately made as squad leader. He experienced first had how corrupted the MP really was, and even if he tried to teach them discipline through a game of poker, they continued their corrupted ways.
It worked with the Garrison men before, how come he couldn't get it through to the MP?
Most of the time the MP seemed to be more frustrating than the Garrison, that is what Allen thinks. Kanda is never assigned the shift at the MP, and Allen is a little jealous of him. However, he never questions why, he could tell that it was a touchy subject for him.

Year 850, Military Police HQ
"All right." Allen huffed, glancing at the paper in his hands. It was a list of jobs and tasks that he was supposed to give out to his team.
They were just given new recruits, and his team was full of them.
His boots clacked against stone, and he finally reached the end of the hallway, where his recruits were. He nearly deflated to see a certain blonde female with cold, blue eyes standing in line. So she made it into the top ten… heh, doesn't surprise me.
The recruits saluted to him when he stood in front of them. He felt Annie's cold gaze on him. "Ok, so you guys are going to retrieve some weapons that have come in the cargo today… the meeting place is on this paper." Allen showed them the paper, which seemed to be a map with some scribbles on it. "Um… that's basically it. Congratulations for making it here, anyway." He commented, and gave the directions to the person in front of him; a tall man with a bowl cut. "Good luck." He said before turning to the door behind him.
Allen reached for the knob, but was stopped. "What are you doing here?" Annie hissed.
"What do you mean?" Allen looked down at her.
"How are you a squad leader here?" She asked, crossing her arms.
"You should catch up with your group, Annie." Allen said, ignoring her questions and opening the door. He received a couple grins and glares from the people inside the room. He gave her one last look before closing the door on her.
When he entered the room he was nearly tackled by a hyper-active red head. "Hey, beansprout!"
"Huh? Lavi?" Allen asked, dodging the said red head.
"Yup, I got another shift here." He said, grinning. "Gotta advise the King and what not."
"Hey, 'Demon-King', are you going to play or what?" A voice from behind Lavi called out. It was one of the men at the poker table; he reclined in his seat and held a cigarette in his mouth.
Lavi sweat-dropped at Allen's nickname. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming."

A few weeks later, 57th expedition, center-rear, forest of big trees.
"Captain! Captain Levi!" Eren frantically called over the clatter of hooves.
"What?" Levi asked, annoyed.
"Sir, we're in the forest! With just the central column here, we can't detect approaching titans!" Eren said. "And something's coming on our right-flank. Sir, how are we supposed to avoid the titans and protect the wagons?"
"Stop whining about the obvious. Of course we can't do any of that."
Eren panicked. "What are you saying?"
"Look around you. These trees are perfect for vertical maneuvering gear." Levi stated. "Now think. Use the modest intellect you possess. Think hard. Your life depends on it."
Eren still couldn't process the information. When he looked around at the rest of the squad, he also saw looks of confusion and frustration. Wait, so no one knows?! What if Captain Levi doesn't know either?
Then they heard the whirr of gas. "What was that noise? It came from right behind us!" Eren cried, looking back where they came.
"Was it that thing on the right flank…?" Eld asked.
"Everyone, draw your blades." Levi commanded, taking his own out. "If that thing appears, it will all be over in a flash."
Before long, the titan had gained on them. It was within sight.
A fourteen meter-class titan with blonde hair, with female features, and it looked very different than the other titans. Eren's eyes widened when he saw her. "Shit… we can't get away just by galloping straight through the forest!" Gunther yelled, glancing behind him and at the titan.
"It's fast! It's gonna catch us!" Eld cried.
"Captain! Switch to vertical maneuvering!" Petra cried, fear in her eyes. Two men maneuvered around the female titan. "Reinforcements from behind!"
Their maneuver gear latched onto her. However, she smashed both of them into the trees. Everyone's eyes widened when the titan turned back to them and advanced. "Attack! That thing is dangerous! We should be able to take it down!" Olou called frantically.
"I'm going to chop it to pieces…" Eld said, reaching for his blade.
"Captain Levi! Give us your orders!"
Levi reached for something small and metal in his pocket. "Everyone, cover your ears." They all did so, and as best he could, he blew into the whistle he had gotten so long ago. The ring that echoed through the forest was sharp and high, even the titan winced at its high pitch.

Military Police HQ
Allen walked along the hallways with Lavi; the two of them were making their way towards the mess hall for dinner time. "You know, I haven't seen Annie this afternoon at all." Lavi noted.
"Hmm…" Allen hummed.
There was suddenly a sharp pulse in his scar. Allen paused in his footsteps, and an image of squad Levi in the forest of big trees appeared in his mind's eye. "Allen?" Lavi asked. "What's wrong?"
"Levi and his squad are in trouble." Allen put his left arm out, and closed his eyes. Lavi raised an eyebrow at this action.
Then Allen began humming a tune in which Lavi never heard. Soon, what replaced the hallway was a bright gateway. "Eh?" Lavi asked. "What?"
"No time to explain. Let's go."
"Oh, sure." Lavi shrugged. "Where?" He reached for his hammer and swung it on its holster.
"The forest of big trees."
They both walked through the light, and then they disappeared.
