Year 842, Trost District, Lenalee's house

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Komui said as calmly as he could.

The man laughed and approached him with something in his hand. "If you don't hand over our research that you stole, then we're going to have to do things the hard way."

Komui only pursed his lips and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "No." He simply said. "I can't trust the MP with this research."

"Fine then." The man said. "The hard way it is."

He stood from his desk abruptly and approached the man with a knife. Komui had always kept one in his desk just in case. However, he wasn't that well trained with it. The MP man was able to disarm Komui, and use the knife against him.

Komui collapsed in front of him and clutched his side. The man sighed and looked at the knife in his hand. That was when he heard the cry, "Nii-san!"

The murderer had met his end at the hands of a young girl.

After she was dragged out by Pixis, Komui was dragged out by a few MP members. They had been disguised, and were rushing to get him to the infirmary.

Komui was still breathing ragged breaths, and his blood was falling out pretty slowly.

There was a chance for him.

Year 850, Stohess District

Their leader had given them a list of requirements. They were ordered to protect a convoy that was coming into town, and they were allowed to use their maneuver gear. After Marlo questioned authority, he was handed a list of details. Currently, they stood in a courtyard, waiting for their cue to go to the convoy. "Damn it!" Marlo cursed, "What a joke! Handing command to a recruit with less than a month in the brigade?"

Allen looked to his feet, avoiding any eye contact with anyone. Lavi nudged him once, only to be ignored. "Yeah, this place is even more rotten than I thought it'd be." Hitch said. "Of course, that's why I chose it. But I guess you get everyone's work shoved off on you when you're a rookie. Sheesh, wish someone told me!"

Because you're a newbie… Allen remembered those words that Lavi had said to him before he joined the 104th trainees. He had recently joined the Order then, and was forced to do work just because he was a beginner. However, the Black Order was not corrupted, oh no. Not like the Military Police.

There can't be much corruption in a group of five people.

"Worthless fools. All you can think about is yourselves…" Marlo muttered.

"Hm? And you're saying you're not like that yourself?" Lavi questioned. "You've been no different from the moment you chose to be an MP."

Marlo narrowed his eyes. "I am different. I'm not like any of you, and I'm not worthless. I came here to clean up the Military Police Brigade." Allen looked up at Marlo at this statement.

"Oooh, wow Marlo, you're one of those guys?" Hitch awed.

"How do you plan to do that?" Allen asked. Everyone was momentarily shocked that he spoke for the first time that day.

"By being at the top. And until I get there I don't care if I have to act worthless. I'll do whatever it takes." Marlo said determinedly. "But once I do everyone's going to have to work for every cent of their pay. And anyone who's pocketed people's taxes or stolen their land will get what's coming to them."

"Do you think that because something awful like that happened to your relatives?" Annie spoke.

"Not really. But it's common knowledge that evil is everywhere, isn't it?" Marlo asked. "Anyway, I'm not saying that they should die. I'm just saying they should feel shame. They'll learn that a man without reason is an animal who defecates wherever it pleases. I'm just going to return them to being normal humans that's all. The way man's supposed to be."

Hitch busted out laughing, clutching her stomach. "Holy crap! You are the real thing! Now I feel bad for thinking that you were just another regular, ordinary guy!"

"I hope you accomplish you're goal, Marlo. It's quite admirable that you'd consider doing something like that." Lavi said, nodding.

"Is it really?" Annie questioned. "I think that when 'good people' like you manage to take control, then that's when it's all over."

"Oh… so you can talk after all. Why don't you keep going, then if you have something to say?" Marlo asked.

"I think you're an upright person. What you say is right. I know that people like you exist. Going against the flow takes a lot of courage. I respect that. Maybe people who can do it are just stupid, but… well, what I'm sure of is that people like that are rare. So you can't call them common, and you can't call them normal either. People like you get called special." Annie said. "So, what should we call people like us, then? People who put their own interests in front of others? People who go along with it when they see injustice? What did you call them? 'Worthless' or 'evil'. From what I saw of the training corps, it is mostly made up of worthless, evil people who wanted to be in the military police."

"Stop beating around the bush. You're just trying to say that you guys really aren't that bad, right?" Marlo accused.

"No. I do believe we're worthless, and we're definitely evil. You certainly can't call us upright, but doesn't that just make us regular people?" Annie asked, and Marlo paused. "If people were essentially good like you say, then this organization wouldn't be as rotten as it is, would it? It's just structured so that it reflects human nature, that's all. So even I'm the kind of weak person who gets swept along with the flow, I just want you to think of me as human. That's all."

Well you certainly aren't human. Allen wanted to say, but he held back.

"'That's all?' You talk too much. And you're boring, too." Hitch commented.

"We've talked too long. We're heading out." Marlo commanded. Nearly everyone groaned. "I'm not messing around! I'm going to handle every mission perfectly, starting with this one!"

They were in the very back, following behind Annie. Lavi had nudged Allen again, and this time, he looked up to him. "What?"

Lavi gestured with his head to an alleyway, where he saw a shadow disappear into. Allen raised an eyebrow, but was nevertheless tugged by Lavi into the alleyway.

The shadow revealed himself after pulling down his hood. "Bakanda?!" Allen greeted, shocked.

"Che, Moyashi."

"Yu, what's going on?" Lavi asked.

Kanda's eye twitched in annoyance. "Erwin is planning on capturing the female titan." Kanda answered bluntly. "In other words… they plan on taking Annie Leonhardt in."

"So they figured it out? How?" Allen asked.

"I'll explain on the way." Kanda said, beginning to move. "Cross ordered us to help them."

"How about Lenalee?" Lavi asked. "Is she in on this?"

Kanda shook his head. "She's in a district that's miles away, too far to reach or contact."

"Oh."
