The next morning they were forced awake by a shout from a soldier. They were told to meet up with Captin Hanji as soon as possible. The two didn't question it and rushed as fast as they could. It didnt take long until they reached the barracks, were they were met with Hanji and her squad. They were told to equip themselves and head out with them. Putting their ODM gear on, they packed the sword holders and topped up the gas. After returning, the hopped on a horse and headed out with the squad.
After a few hours of non-stop riding, they reached a large cabin. Jumping of their horses they rushed in to the house and found the Levi squad working and doing chores. They were sent into the main hall and hear the news. The group also saw Annie and Aria which put them on edge, Hanji managed to calm them down and talked about what they agreed upon. Next came the news that Pastor Nick had been killed, it was also due to the interior squads work.
Suddenly, a messenger came and handed a letter to Levi, he looked down at it and returned to the gazes of the group "Everyone, we leave now. Leave no traces"
Everyone geared up and ran out, they didn't stop until they reached a peak which overlooked the house they stayed in. By that time, a large group of interior squad soldiers rushed the house.
Armin looked over to Levi and asked "Why would Commander Erwin~" Before he could continue, Levi butted in "New orders came from the government. There's been a freeze on all scout regiment activity outside of the walls." They all looked at him "They also said to hand over Eren and Historia"
After some debating, they moved for the Trost district. Hanji also said she would go after Commander Erwin, She looked over to Aria and Annie "You two will be with Levi, behave" She gave a quick glance to Levi. After saying that, she got on her horse and left with one other scout.
Without waiting, they left. During the trip, Eren walked up to the pair "Hey" It was quite awkward but Aria added "It has been a while, anything happened while we were gone?"
He scratched the back of his head and explained some recent events. "Oh, i heard you wanted to try and harden your titan. How did it go?" Annie asked. The group turned to them and waited for Eren's response. "It didn't go well, i was unable to harden. The plan to seal up wall Maria is shelved at the moment." He seemed a bit down. Aria smiled and 'patted' him on the back. He flinched in pain and looked at Aria "Don't worry, you'll be able to do it soon."
"What do you mean by that?" Aria didn't say anything else and returned to the group and chatted to catch up with them. The group made their way into Trost with a plan. They switched Eren and Historia and made them take a different route.
As they walked along, they didn't speak a word but kept their silence. It wasnt long before a cart rushed up behind them "Look out, behind you" Levi shouted. They ducked but the fake Eren and Historia were kidnapped. The immediately rushed after them. Trailing them to a warehouse, the group set up an ambush. "Aria, Mikasa come with me" Levi commanded. The two of them nodded and used their ODM gear to jump onto the roof. Mikasa was going to help the group with the kidnappers while Aria went with Levi. It was another weird coincidence that left Aria baffled. She nodded and flew away with Levi.
The two of them arrived on some roof tops looking over a carriage that was moving along a street. "There's a large group up ahead, what about the carriage?" Aria asked. Levi kept silent and observed the situation. It didn't make sense to him, why would the military police hire such lousy kidnappers. With the current situation, it would mean only one thing. His eyes widened and he shouted "Look out!" Aria and Levi were able to get behind cover before Kenny shot.
"Look what we have here, a pretty bird and Little Levi" As Levi was about to do something, a large group of the same equipped soldiers flew into the sky surrounding the two. "Shit" They said in unison.
A rapid burst of gunfire was heard in the surrounding area as the two of them managed to dodge them all, without wasting time the flew off in the direction of the cart. "Split off, go towards the cart and secure it!" Levi shouted. Aria nodded "Yes!"
As she split off from the group, a few of them chased after her. Only seeing 5 she smirked '5 wont be enough to stop me'
The group chased her, firing shots which missed while Aria dodged agilely "Che, who is this little runt" A woman with blonde hair shouted. Aria turned to face them and smirked, she suddenly shot into a small street. The group followed behind, but didn't see were she went.
"Im behind you" They turned their heads to find Aria, blades drawn, heading towards them. The closest tried to react but was decapitated instantly by her. A few of them managed to get shots off but Aria easily dodged them. The next victim was killed by being cut in half, Aria didn't stop and killed most of the group she was being chased by. However, the Blonde haired woman was smart and separated from the group.
Meanwhile, Levi also had the same experience and managed to trick Kenny and get away. The two of them met while flying, and headed towards the cart. Levi saw the blood on Aria's sword but kept quiet. They kept flying until they found the hijacked cart with drugged Eren and Historia on. It seemed that Kenny had predicted most of their moves.
