Beta'd by KappasRule... So, I don't know why, but I got zero reviews the past couple of chapters... is it because they were fillers or what? Oh well. I'll still update. The reason I update quicker now is because I have less stories to update. In fact, this one for now is the only story I am updating. Anyways... at the end, and from here on OUT there will be SPOILERS. Please review~

Year 850, Survey Corps HQ
"Sorry we're late."
Eren and Levi turned to look at the door which had swung open. Eren's eyes widened when he saw who came in. "Armin? Mikasa?"
Erwin came into the room, along with Armin, Mikasa, and… "Eh? You too?" He directed this towards the tall Japanese man that came in. He scowled at Eren.
"I didn't ask to be here."
Before Eren could retort, Erwin said, "It's good to have someone from the Black Order to hear us out."
"Yes sir." They sat around the table.
"We've found someone whom we suspect the female titan is." Erwin stated. "The target is at the Military Police Brigade in Stohess District."
"We've got someone stationed there." Kanda said. "We should probably inform them about this."
"We'll discuss that later." Erwin said. "Right now, we have to talk about our plan to capture the target, the female titan, once and for all. We move a day after tomorrow. On that day we are being summoned to the royal capital, with Eren." He explained calmly. "With the situation as it is, we'll be forced to hand Eren over. If that happens, it'll be difficult to try and lure out those who are trying to destroy the wall. As a result, the extinction of humanity would become a real possibility. We designed this operation to break through every one of our roadblocks. We're betting everything on it. We will likely not have another chance."
Silence fell over the room. "To put it broadly, Eren will sneak out while we're being escorted by the MP inside Stohess District. From there, he'll lure the target out to be captured, to an underground location if possible, so that she won't be able to transform into a titan. If we can capture one of the titans destroying the walls by using Eren as a decoy the problem of the summons will, of course, disappear. The capital's attention should turn to defending the walls as well."
Kanda didn't want to admit it, but this all seemed like a pretty good plan to him. "So who is the female titan?" He asked.
"Armin was the one who figured it out, and I decided to carry out this plan based on his proposal. Armin encountered the titan, and he surmised that she may have been among you three in the 104th training corps. We also believe that she killed the two titans that were captured alive. Her name is…"
Year 850, Stohess District
"So that's how…" Allen shivered. If he let anything slip in front of Armin, he could be figured out that he is also a titan-shifter, and that he has also killed thousands. He's going to have to be more careful. Allen spotted a flare flying into the sky.
They didn't even reach the underground passage. In fact, they were a few blocks away from it when there was that familiar crack of lightning, just where the entrance of the underground passage was. The three of them grimaced.
"It didn't seem to work." Lavi said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Allen snapped. "Let's hurry."
The three of them darted to where the female titan had reformed seemingly out of thin air. They quickened their pace when they saw that she had stamped her foot into the passageway. "We need to split up." Kanda said. Stohess was becoming more and more chaotic. "For some reason Eren hasn't transformed yet."
"Moyashi, find your way to Eren. Yu and I will take on the female titan." Lavi said, ignoring Kanda's suggestion of splitting up.
For a moment Allen was confused, because 'Yu' sounded like 'you'. "Ok." He said. Kanda's eyes twitched. "MY NAME'S ALLEN!" He called after the two of them had darted toward the female titan… Annie.
He knew what Lavi was implying.
Allen rounded another block. He saw that Mikasa and Armin had gotten out and were trying to fight the female titan. As for Eren…
"Eren!" Allen called. He whipped his head around, looking for any sign as he ran by the underground passage.
He then spotted a figure under pile of rubble. Quickly Allen approached it, and saw that it was in fact Eren Jaeger. "Eren! Pull yourself together!" He said, activating his arm and struggling to move a large boulder. "You… you transformed against me, remember? How is Annie any different?"
Eren looked no good. Blood splattered across his face, and he was impaled by a large pole. Allen winced. It looked rather painful. "Eren! Just…" He tossed the boulder to the side, and during that movement, he noticed Armin come rushing forward.
"Allen? What…. what…." He stuttered.
"Yeah, yeah. Long time no see." Allen waved it off. "Eren's in trouble though."
Armin pursed his lips. "Go help the others." He said determinedly. "I'll handle Eren."
Allen didn't question his motive, and charged toward where Annie was. He didn't see Mikasa, she was probably down somewhere.
He wrapped his Crown Belt around her arm; terrible mistake. She flung her arm, and smashed Allen against a building. The albino felt a couple bones crack.
As soon as the damage has been done, he felt himself healing, and before long, he was good as new. "What the hell was that Moyashi?" He looked up to see Kanda scowling at him. "At least go for her legs and trip her."
"Don't tell me what to do Bakanda!" Allen snapped.
"Che."
During their bickering, Lavi had been smashing and swinging at Annie with his enormous hammer. Soldiers were having trouble avoiding his hammer. Once Annie had been smashed square in her back, and she faltered for a moment.
Nonetheless, she continued running, until she reached a courtyard where the soldiers couldn't use maneuver gear.
It was then that there was another crack of lightning, the Rogue titan came darting through the alleyways with rage in his eyes, straight towards Annie. "He did it!" Lavi cheered.
"It's about time." Kanda said, swinging his Mugen.
Eren swung a fist at Annie, and she fell back into a church, crushing the building and its inhabitants.
Allen felt relieved that he didn't have to transform. He was in fact considering it when he learned Eren couldn't.
Nothing was stopping her. She recovered and darted as quickly as she could towards the wall. She gained momentum, but suddenly she used the buildings next to her as a break to turn herself around to face Eren.
They prepared to fight, but Annie swiped a low kick. "Hey, I want you three to come with me." Kanda, Lavi, and Allen turned to see Hange. They just nodded and followed her. "We've split into groups to capture her."
One of Eren's legs had been sliced off, but that was ignored as he threw a punch at her face. She dodged it, and blocked the next punch. Eren let out a roar of frustration; as Annie kicked his head clean off.
With that she left Eren against the wall of the building, and approached Wall Sina. "Let me get her." Allen said to Hange. "I can pull her down with crown belt." By then she was climbing the wall like a spider, leaving little craters.
Before Hange could say anything for or against, Mikasa was already onto it. She maneuvered around Annie, using the wall as leverage. Allen's eyes widened at her ferocity as she cut all five of her fingers off, landing on her head. "Annie… fall." She said, before using the maneuver gear to hang off the wall.
She fell to the ground, and the soldiers rushed around her body. Eren sat on top of her so she couldn't escape.
Her nape was open, revealing Annie herself, still fused with the titan skin. They attempted to pry her out with rakes. Allen then came up to pull her out himself, but it was a moment too late. With a flash of light, she had crystallized herself.
The rest of her body had disintegrated.
Allen noticed that someone hadn't come down from the wall yet. He looked up to see that Mikasa was, in fact, still hanging there.
However, he spotted something that surprised him and made him enraged.
He saw that a titan's face was peeking out of one of the cracks that Annie had made.
