Ch 16- Rescue Mission

.....

Morning shone through the skies of Trost as you found yourself next to Levi again, Nick in front of us, on the same carriage you were on last night. But now, instead of the casual clothes you had worn, you sat with your Scout uniform on. After examining your side and feeling good as ever, you had sought out Erwin to be let back in on the action, to which he had agreed swiftly; glad to have one of his best soldiers back on the front lines. Levi hadn't taken it that well, leading to a scowling contest between him and the Commander, but he eventually relented at Erwin's sharp words. He knew you were an asset they shouldn't let pass by in a critical situation like the one we were in.

"Can you believe it? I thought this was an emergency." You hear the voices of the Military Police behind you, who mutter in their ignorance. "Yeah, and everyone's just sitting around here." You keep your eyes forward in distaste; as they joked about the Titans your comrades and friends could be dying. "Hey, Levi. Where are you hiding the Titans at?" You subtly glance to see Levi turn to the men behind us. "Oh? You all seem so disappointed." Levi says, clear sarcasm in his tone as the men swiftly stop in their idiotic taunts at his words. "Sorry... It's a shame you couldn't fight the Titans today. If you're looking for another chance, there's plenty of expeditions outside the walls." Levi's face darkens as his stormy eyes go sharp. "How about we join forces and face some Titans together?"

The Military Police look to each other, now tense at his request. "Uh, well, you know... We're busy with work on the interior..." Before they can continue to make additional excuses, you hear the voice of a soldier shout out, "The advance squad returned! Inform Commander Pixis!"

.....

"I see, so there was nothing wrong with the wall?" Pixis asks as you ignore the sinking feeling in your chest at his words. "Yes, sir!" the garrison soldier looked up at his feet in reply; he seemed exhausted, as he took a large gulp of water from a bottle provided to him. "H-however, there's a bit of a situation! We were heading back to Trost to give our report when we ran into the Scout unit led by Section Commander Hange. Along with them, there were recruits from the 104th without their equipment. And it turns out, three of them... were Titans!" Jean looks at the soldier by his feet, "What are you talking about?" he says, eyes wide and grim, "Are you saying there were more?! Three more of them?!" You frown, knowing of Betholdt and Reiner but not of a third. "Who were they!" Jean shouted out to the soldier who looked uncertainly at the boy in front of her.

"Jean, relax," Erwin speaks up from next to the boy as he puts a hand on his shoulder, briefly calming his frantic look. "What happened when their forms were revealed?" Erwin asks as he looks at the Garrison soldier. "The Scouts engaged the Colossal and Armoured Titan in battle. But by the time we joined up with them to fight... it was over." Your eyes go sharp, your heart thrumming against your chest at his words.

.....

You ride with Erwin as we approach the Forest of the Giant Trees. We had just met with Hange moments ago; they were burnt and weak from battling the Titans, the Colossal Titan having scorched many Scouts with the steam it had let off. They had informed us of the situation. The situation that Reiner and Bertholdt had kidnapped Eren and Ymir. Hange had predicted, however, that wherever they were headed was beyond the walls, and being in Titan-infested lands would probably cause them to seek refuge somewhere until night fell when Titans would no longer roam the lands. We had concluded that the Giant trees, which hindered the Titan's abilities to reach them, would be the best place to hide out until then.

As we approached the Forest, you suddenly saw a bright light amongst the treeline; a Titan had transformed. You turn to Erwin swiftly, "Straight ahead in the forest! A light, a light of a Titan's transformation." Erwin nods, eyes firm and grim. "We made it in time. Soldiers, disperse! We believe the enemy has already transformed! Locate Eren and recover him!" Just as we reach the treeline, however, Titans approach us, too many to count, as you watch many Military Police who were among us get caught in its grasp. "Battle is not our objective!" Erwin's voice stops you from lending help, "Prioritize recovery and retreat!" You sprint into the trees, teeth gritted as you move with [h/n], dodging Titans swiftly whilst looking into the branches, hoping to catch a glance of Eren or the Titans.
