After 3 years
"Too slow Sakura" Levi grunts as he catches her fist in his palm before she can wrench it away, he twisted forcing her arm
and the rest of her body to turn, with it, Sakura, calm, goes with the momentum and spins so that she's facing him again _and throws a swift kick to his face, she got him . "Tch" he barely dodged the full impact of the kick, by holding her leg "Still too slow" he said.
Sakura observed with amusement as let her go and rubbed the bottom of his chin.
The rest of the squad watched the two of them in awe.
"I can't believe she's keeping up with the captain" muttered oule.
"pinky is no joke, she and captain Levi are our top soldiers right now" added Gunther.
"And they have some chemistry going on" commented oule, his eyes still fixed on the two, his comment however didn't go unnoticed by the others.
"What do you mean by that?" it was Eld who asked.
Oule glanced at him and shrugged "seriously Eld? Don't you see the way they interact with each other?"
Eld gritted his teeth "They are friends, close friends, so I suppose it's normal interaction" he muttered, discomfort obvious on his face .
Ghunter let out a sound " nah, I thought the same for a while, but recently I've been thinking they are more than what appears, I mean, don't you think sakura is spending a lot of time with the corporal? Like they seem always together, sparring or arguing about something "
"Training, she's training with him, and I think it payed off, she's a lot better now" offered Eld.
Obvious to the blond discomfort Oule smirked " She wasn't bad to start with , why the extra training, I wonder if the real reason is spending time with captain Levi... "
Ghunter punched him lightly "Just because she can kick your ass doesn't mean she needs to stop training, I mean it doesn't take much to beat you but _.. "
"Enough!" all three man turned to look at Petra, she was so quiet that the boys forget she was with them.
"Enough talking shit about our captain and our comrade, shame on you" she added sending glares at oule and Gunther
Oule took a step toward her "we didn't mean anything Petra relax, I know Sakura is important to you and we love her too, we were just observing the situation "
Petra clenched her hands, trying not to explode at the man, how dare he imply that there's something more than friendship between Sakura and the captain, Sakura was her friend and she knows about her feelings toward the captain, she'll never do that to her, and Levi wasn't that type, he's distant, she herself tried to reach him but in vain.
At that moment the Pinkett approached the group, painting "Hey guys, what's going on?" she asked raising one pink eyebrow.
Oule flinched a bit at her voice "stop sneaking on me pinky" he said.
"I'm not sneaking, you were distracted" she said crossing her arms above her chest, totally obvious to Levi's chuckle as he walked behind behind her. She sent him a glare and he returned it.
Sakura turned to look at her commards
"You see what i mean ? The chemistry" Whispered oule to petra
"So what's going on guys ?" Sakura asked again looking at petra in particular.
"Nothing, let's go eat, you must be hungry from all that training "
Sakura nodded "Sure, but I need a shower first, wait for me okay" she muttered, before walking away.
"See even her priorities changed , baths before food , that's the captain influence " murmured Oule to Gunther who nodded his agreement.
...
She was just getting dressed after her short shower when she heard a loud knocking on the door "Sakura hurry up, we need to get moving right now" it was nifaa
"Hin? What's wrong nifaa, why the rush ?"
The girl behind the door took few minutes to answer "A massage came from the trost district, it was... breached"
The Pinkett grasped, her eyes widening, the second wall!!! No way
When they arrived at trost, titans were roaming the district, not as much as the scouts thought tho, there was a dozen of them, Sakura let out a breath she didn't know she was holding when she noticed the inner gate intact, apparently titans were only in the trost district, and the wall is safe, there was not a lot of them .
"Sakura, look, the outer gate! " yelled Eld , she snapped her eyes to the outside gate expecting it to be open and titans walking through it, but no, it was closed by some sort of huge rock .
A titan approached her and she jumped away, now was not the time to think, there was few ugly stupid monsters that needs to be killed.
The scouts managed to kill all titans in no time, and they were standing with the garrison of Wall rose, Levi wasn't with them, he disappeared at some point.
"What on earth happened in here ?" oule was the first one to ask.
Sakura fixed her gaze on the garrison soldier who was trying to find the right words " well, the colloasel titan appeared again, he destroyed the gate, and titans started flooding into trost, we tried to hold them and save civilians, but in vain, but suddenly, and I know you'll think I'm crazy, but one titan started killing the others, and suddenly it's titan verses titan fight, it was crazy "
Team Levi was stunned" A titan killing the others!! How is that even possible? " Petra snapped.
" Yes Missy, I know, I was shocked too, and you know what's more shocking thing? The titan who killed his other titans had a human inside of him, , rumors say that he transformed into a titan , we retreated into the inner gate , and lunched an attack under general pixes order ,the human titan managed to seal the gate with the rock ,i saw that with my own eyes ! " the soldier had a mixture of enthusiasm and fear in his voice , his enthusiasm However wasn't reciprocate by Levi team who were shocked, and confused.
Before they can ask anything else, two teens run toward them.
" Sakura "
The Pinkett looked around, to find Mikasa and Armin.
" kids!! , god, I was worried about you" she was revieled to know they were fine, but where's eren?.
"Where's eren?" she asked, her eyes fixed on Mikasa.
"They took him" Mikasa offered.
"Took him? Who?" she asked
Mikasa's frown deepened "The scouts, a short guy with undercut, it's why we came to talk to you",
"A short guy with undercut!?" Petra who was lessening to them asked.
Mikasa nodded a frown on her face "Captain Levi, isn't he your captain sakura , do you know where are they taking Eren and what's gonna happen to him?"
Sakura was a bit confused, why would the scouts take Eren with them? Especially Levi.
"Wait wait wait, why would captain Levi take Eren with him?, what did he do? " she asked.
"You don't know?" Armin said, his voice lower than usual.
She shock her head in a no, the rest of the team listened carefully to the conversation too.
"Eren is the titan who saved us" Mikasa's voice was empty of any emotion when she spoke
"Whaaatttt! Eren??!", Sakura screamed.
"OH yes, I remember now, the kid name was Eren Yeager" murmured the soldier they were talking too.
"But... How come?" with eyes wide in surprise, Sakura looked between Mikasa and Armin
"We don't know" said Armin before adding "Many crazy things happened today, the collasell titan appearing out of nowhere, a titan killing titans, and then turned out to be eren, and a guy jumping from roof to roof, killing titans with his blade without a gear"
Sakura stopped at the sentence " what do you mean by a guy killing titans with no gear?"
"That's impossible" commented Eld.
"He did, we saw him, he helped us reach the base" it was Mikasa to spoke.
Sakura's heart started beating faster, could it be?? No no way, it must be someone else, all of her people died, her world is not there anymore, but she had to Make sure, it's why she asked her next question " What did this guy look like?"
It took armin few minutes to answer " I saw him briefly, he had dark hair and dark eyes"
He stopped for a bit before adding "But conny and Sasha swears they saw his eyes turning red"
Sakura felt her heart stop for a second "Where is he?" she managed to say.
" They took him too, at some point he collapsed on the ground, and the scouts took him, with Eren."
she walked fast , passing everyone in the base without even glance , she even ignored some people who greeted her .
all she wanted to know was Eren's whereabouts and who is the mysterious guy who can cut a titan with a blade .
when she reached Erwin's office , levi and Erwin were there when she walked in .
"Sakura " muttered Erwin , a small frown on his face ,probably because she didn't knock the door , levi was sending death glares from his spot , she ignored him and saluted " Sir , i apologize for interpreting , but its important"
Erwin mentioned for her to seat " levi and i finished already , tell me what's wrong .
" It's about the prisoner sir , i might know him from somewhere ,i need to see him" she said in one breath .
Erwin nodded " Levi was telling me about your relationship with Eren jeager , he's in prison for the time being waiting for his trial , i decided that i'm going to try and take responsibility for him , his abilities can be used to our favor"
While she was happy that Eren is okay and that the scouts don't want his execution , the prisoner she wanted to see immediately wasn't Eren ,it was the one with the red eyes .
" Glad to hear that , Eren is a really good kid ,im sure he's gonna help humanity ,however it's not Eren the one i want to see immediately ,it's the other one "
both levi and Erwin tensed for a moment
" How did you know that there was another prisoner??" levi was the one to ask this time .
" Some people saw him , wasn't as big as Eren's news but some trainees managed to see him" she answered.
" And you think you might know this guy ?" it was levi again .
" Yes " she nodded ,her eyes full of hope and fixed on Erwin.
Erwin was silent for a moment before saying " Few people saw us taking him. and that's because i heard rumors about his fights with titans. however im not sure its true maybe you can see him and tell us what do you know about this guy "
" Tch , no man can slice a titan with a knif " murmured levi " Must be an exaggeration" he added
if this man was who sakura think he is then he can do much more than just slice a titan with a knif.
" Where am i ?" was the firsr thing sasuke thought about when he first opened his eyes .
there were very few things he can remember for certain , he has been looking for Sakura , and this was the world number 20 when he arrived in this world , his reningan was supposed to teleport him close to the strongest chakara source in this world , but instead of sakura he found hundreds of naked giants , eating people .
Sasuke stood on top of the wall watching the scene , what the hell is this place ?? he wondered .
Upon closer inspection, he saw people trying to take the creatures down with dual swords and metal canisters tied to theirs waists. Grappling hooks shot out and pulled them at fast speeds. They practically flew as they maneuvered in the air. However, he noticed some were not fortunate as he sighted blood on rooftops and various giants mouths.Screams were heard in the far distance , even he uchiha sasuke wasn't heartless as to let ppl be eaten alive , and if he thought about it , those ppl are probably victims ,they need help .
he activated his shatingan and jumped on the first giant neck , were he saw the soldier slicing them , first try didn't work , so he had to put more force into his move , the giant fell down immediately ,and sasuke jumped to the roof of the
closest house .
The uchiha noticed where most of the giants began to gather. A specific tall building was being surrounded.He frowned when he also noticed feeble chakra within the gigantic walls. The chakra strength was weak. He would've passed it for nothing if it wasn't similar to a giant's chakra. He sighed. So many things to look into, he wondered if this place had any answers.He quickly took action. sasuke jumped from roof to another to where most of the giants were gathering. At the same time, he set explosive tags on the giants he passed and set them off. He left a trail of smoke and giant's steam behind.As he landed on a roof, he felt another surge of massive chakra. This time because of the close proximity, he felt the full force of its power.He whipped his head towards the chakra signature.In the far distance, a fifteen meter giant with dark hair howled. The sound carried nothing but rage. The giant, unlike the others, was physically fit with jagged teeth and no lips. It had long pointed ears and seemed capable of intelligence. prepared himself to attack , when the the creature turned to his right and punched the closest giant in the face.
a giant fighting other giants ??
humans were flying here and there , but a groupe of them seemed to be going somewhere specific .
He couldn't tell how their components worked, but by the smell of gas, he concluded that it ran on fuel. He looked upon the previous distressed soldier whose machine whirled with no visible movement. He quickly connected the dots together."They're aiming for the building. More than likely, the fuel they require is stationed there."
sasuke surveyed the area and noticed many youths on the surrounding rooftops staring at him . They whispered with one another as they took glances at him.. he was unable to comprehend their words. He already felt a headache coming. Deep down he already knew that his chakra was draining fast , unusually fast. Sasuke frowned and pointed at the tower. The soldiers had confusion written all over their faces. They looked at one another before they continued trying to speak to him.Their words were incomprehensible to the uchiha. He turned towards the building and proceeded to march forward. He took out a kunai and threw it towards the direction of the building.
The soldiers shot forward as they realized his intentions and followed.Panting, he looked around and scanned his surroundings. He only managed to clear a path towards the building , by killing few giants . Giants were still surrounding the area and he felt weak .sasuke soon heard windows shatter as the soldiers arrived to their destination. He was glad they didn't hesitate to move forward. After all, they had all rights to be suspicious of him. He showed up out of nowhere with skills they've never seen beforeScreams initiated from the building. sasuke looked up and noticed two giants had snuck their heads in. He quickly held two kunais in each hand. Just as he was about to body flicker, he felt vibrations heading his way. Turning his head, the rebel giant passed him and threw his fist towards the two giants.Sasuke noticed three soldiers arrive after the rebel giant. Narrowing his eyes, he realized they lured the muscled giant to the building. sasuke smirked"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."he started to feel weaker by the minute , some soldiers approached him , they were saying something , he couldn't understand or hear ,and then everything went blank.
