Mizu: Please Enjoy!

Mizuki's POV

I was flying with the 3DMG to the target at hand. This time it was a shipping job being done by some people we raided a while ago. Levi was on my right side and Isabel was on my left. We had a good formation going, perfectly prepared in case the survey corps showed up like the man said they would.

"Look!" Farlan gestured to a large stack of boxes surrounded by a few workers. We launched the piston around the corner to crash into the crates. I braced for impact as the wooden planks contacted my foot. The packages went spiraling everywhere, one of the men even scooped up one of the food items and ran off.

"There they are! Someone call the Military Police!" One man shouted as we flew away. I did a small flip before catching up with Isabel. She was smiling like always and let out a happy cry.

"Yahoo!" She zoomed up to me and I smiled back at her, the adrenaline pumping through my veins.

Farlan called up from the left side "Levi! They're here! The pursuers!"

I looked behind me to indeed see some people with 3DMG chasing us. Some had the classic uniform on but a few in the back were wearing green cloaks.

"Huh, The Military Police again? Haven't learned their lesson, have they?" Isabel arrogantly smiled.

"Hey, Levi-bro! What I just said was a cool line right?" I smirked.

"Are you an idiot?" Levi responded without looking back.

"Yes! A proud one!" I replied back to him.

Levi did a twist with his gear, cutting off two MPs at the front but the back ones in clocks still remained. He cut them off at a wall once again but they weren't even fazed. What?

"Those movements...They're not the Military Police!" Farlan shouted.

"Yeah...no mistake, It's them. The wings of freedom crest, It's the survey corps" Levi confirmed.

They four behind us took a similar position to ours "Heh. As people who battle the titans, they're as different as expected" Farlan came closer to Isabel when talking.

"You guys know right?" Levi checked.

"Of course!" Isabel called off.

"Time to test these skills!" I flew over to the side.

"It's the job right?" Farlan asked.

Isabel and Farlan flew to opposite sides of the street while I kept tail with Levi. Once my chance came up he nodded to me.

I released the piston and fired again at a building diagonal to Levi. It was a warehouse long abandoned with plenty of openings. I heard one of the soldiers come after me as I did a twist through a narrow hole. The soldier had no choice but to take the ceiling hole, giving me a bigger head start. Who said bigger was always better?

The gear latched itself to the wall next to me where I Did a dodge from the soldiers attack. Unfortunately I didn't see his hand until it was too late. He took the wire connecting to the gear, making me fall to the pavement.

My knife was securely kept hidden until I flipped up to face my challenger. He cut away with his long sword while I made sure to dodge. The blade narrowly missed my arm but it gave me the time I needed. My knife lashed out at the soldier's neck but he avoided it while coming off with a gash on his cheek. Blood tickled down the side.

He used the blade pressed against my knife until I kicked my foot out from under him. he fell to the ground with a smack.

I thought I would be able to claim victory until he grabbed his sword and pressed it to my neck.

Fuck.

I was shoved on the ground next to Levi. My hands were uncomfortably bound with rough metal. My head was down and I swore not to say anything.

To the survey corps these were damn obvious signs that we were caught.

But for us, we knew that this was all going to plan.

"I'll ask you a few questions" Erwin Smith held up our 3DMG

"Where did you get this?" I actually didn't know...I never had to ask.

"You guys are skilled with 3D Maneuver Gear" Well gee thanks.

"Who taught you all that?" Well I was taught by Levi.

He walked before Levi, "You're their leader right? Were you trained in the military?"

When Levi didn't respond the man behind us who fought me, grabbed Levi's hair and shoved his face downward into the dirty puddle. Keyword dirty.

Levi moved his head to keep himself from drowning, not stopping the outrage in Isabel and I's voice.

"Ill ask one more time, Where did you learn to use 3D Maneuver Gear?" More silence,

"Not from anyone! We learnt it by ourselfs!" Unknowing of what could happen to Levi, Farlan spoke up from my left.

"Self-taught you say? I don't buy it" I feel my pity for this guy who we're going to kill grow smaller and smaller.

Farlan continued, "It's just so we're able to rise even a bit in this dirty garbage place! People who are always in the sunlight like you guys won't understand!"

"Thats enough! let Bro go!" Isabel angrily ordered.

"Don't be cocky just because you're the commander!" I yelled with the others.

Erwin's gaze snapped to me, "How did you know I was the commander?" Oh...shit.

"B-Because I was from the surface! I saw you before you left on expeditions!" Sometimes I'm proud at how I can cover something up so smoothly.

"Then why are you here?" I took followed Levi's example and held my silence.

I felt a boot hit my side and I coughed out in pain. The guy who fought me and shoved Levi was responsible.

"Thats enough" Erwin ordered. Comforting to see that only when someone kicks a 12 year-old that is 'enough'

He looked away from me for the time being and shifted back over to Levi. he knelt down to be at Levi's crouched level of sight.

"My name is Erwin Smith. And yours is?"

After a moment's hesitation Levi replied with venom in his tone "Levi"

"Levi...Why don't we make a deal?" So the old man was right.

"A deal?"

"I will let your crimes go unpunished. In return, lend me your strength. Join the survey corps" Even if we didn't have the job I would have accepted his offer then kill him at the earliest opportunity.

"And if I refuse?"

"The Military Police will have you. Considering all of your crimes, you and your friends won't be treated very nicely. Choose whichever you prefer"

"Fine" Levi spit the remaining water out of his mouth, "I'll join the survey corps"

"Now may I have the rest of your names?" Erwin asked as we sat inside one of the carriages, driving to the surface.

"Isabel Magnolia"

"Farlan Church"

"Mizuki Jaeger" He looked at me once more.

"Jaeger? As in Grisha Jaeger?" Erwin knows my father? I knew he was a good doctor but I didn't think he was famous or something.

"Yeah so what?" I muttered.

"I heard of Dr. Jaeger having a son but not a daughter" And here it comes..

"I was taken by some human traffickers around a year ago" He narrowed his eyes at me.

After a moment of silence he turned back to me "Is there any way you can prove to be his daughter?"

"The only way I can think of is if I see him in Shiganshina myself" Erwin ordered something to the driver. Oh god please don't tell me...

"After we arrive at the Headquarters you may be transported to Shiganshina district seeing as you are too young to join the survey corps or even cadet training"

My eyes widened at his offer. I could go home? But what about the job? I fixed my sight on everyone else. Isabel was sitting next to me on my right and Levi sat next to her. They both nodded in approval.

Levi wore the same expression he always wears but this time he actually nodded with them.

I was going home...

We arrived at a place that looks fresh out of a fairy tail. It was a large castle with classic grey stone walls and blue rooftops.

I followed the three out of the carriage to say my goodbyes. Oh god why am I saying goodbye?

Isabel first gave my a hug that nearly crushed my ribs before giving me a light kiss on my forehead. I'm going to miss her so much, the way she always made light of even the worst situation but still managed to be strong. If it wasn't for Isabel I would be dead by now, or worse.

Farlan also gave me a hug but it was more friendly and less desperate then Isabel's. I was going to miss his kindness. He was like the big brother I never had, always there for support if things for rough but he was still always offering to help me with training.

Then I turned to Levi. He displayed no emotion like always but he just put his hand on my shoulder before walking back. No way, If this is going to be the last time I see them for a while I'm gonna make it count.

I ran up to Levi and wrapped my arms around him in a hug. Isabel starting laughing immediately at Levi's confused expression. Slowly he also put his arms around me in a goodbye.

It was so hard to let go.

But just as I was about to he pulled me in closed and whispered something in my ear.

"Stay alive"

He released me and I nodded back to him.

"Bye guys! I'm going to see you again but try not to get yourself killed while I'm gone!" I waved to them as I boarded the carriage.

"Say hi to your brother for me!" Isabel shouted as the driver took off to Shiganshina.

I leaned outside as long as I could while waving to them. Soon they were just specks in the distance, overlapped by the green forest trees.

My head rested on the seat. I didn't have any belongings to take with me here so I had from the underground was a bag full of clothes that Isabel helped me pack. But of course I still had my necklace. It was the real treasure of the dark hell I had to go through.

Now that they were in the survey corps I wondered how they would pull off the job? How long would it take?

Eren would want to know everything that happened while I was gone of course but I don't think I can tell them everything. I most certainly can't say the names of who took me in because then if something went wrong on the job Levi wouldn't want be to go down with them.

But I will tell them that I was saved, I was taken in my three kind people, I was trained by the strongest clean freak inside the walls, and that I missed them.

I remember that before I was taken, Eren and I always talked about joining the scout regiment to make a difference and go outside the walls but now...I'm not so sure I want to. But if Eren still wants to join then I guess I need to go as well to protect him.

My short ebony hair slowly came into contact with the carriage side. My eyelids felt a bit heavy from staying up last night thinking about the job. It never occured to e that I wouldn't be doing it with them.

I guess that means I need to put extra effort in to find them again.
