After I died

Anastasia

We got ourselves a big cart and found a near checking station. Jean, Sasha and Connie crashed the cart into said checking station so Levi could drag one of the people from the team that had kidnapped Eren and Historia here, who had been working at the station. Levi wanted information on the where abouts of the two from him. Looking at how they managed to break the other guy, he would probably get them. This one didn't seem as stubborn.

Tho he hadn't been told anything,the only thing he knew and said tous,was that if we didn'tgive up, the whole survey corps would be executed, starting with commander Erwin. "I'm hearin steps." We all got flat on the floor at Sasha's warning and indeed, there were people approaching. Laying on the floor, I proped myself upon my elbows, taking the rifle we had taken from the military police like a sniping gun. It was dark, but if I was quick enough, I'm sure I could hit all of them in time. The lack of visor, silencer and rifle supports was gonna make it harder tho.

"I have a clear view. Waiting for the order to shoot.", I whispered over to Levi. "Not yet.", he replied, just as quiet. I got out of my cat as silent as possible and wrapped it around my rifle to muffle the shooting noise at least bit in case I had to use it. It were only two people, they came closer and closer until finally pulling their hoods off. Hanji and Moblit. I let out a relieved sigh and went over to hug Hanji.

"The coup wasa success.", she said, handing us the official letter. "Zackely will take the lead for now." "That's great, but what about the murder on Reeves?", Armin asked. "There's many witnesses to know that it was the military police. His son Flegel is giving his all to get the news around. In here is everything about the fake king and that you only acted in self defense. In other words. We are free again."

Hanji also pulled out a book which seemed to contain information and where Eren and Historia might be. "Let's finish this.", she said, looking between us. We got back on the horses and the cart, while on our way to where ever Hanji thought we needed to go, she told us about what was in the book. About a chappel that burned down and killed almost the whole family. We were headed towards the chappel now. Hanji told us that the fore destroyed the chappel eventho it was completely made out of stone and that Rodd Reiss had it be rebuild out of his own pocket.

When reaching the ruins, Hanji found a door in the ground. "Let's hope this goes well.", she mumbles. Everyone ready to get their hands dirty?", Levi asked, and we nodded in agreement. Let's hope this is the last time we'll have to kill people. Armin had built together some bombs from a few gas bottles  and barrels. We rolled them down into the huge underground hall after opening the door just enough so they'd fit through.

We entered short after, with Sasha shooting a burning arrow at thefirst barrel, making it explode. The smoke caused by the explosion was thick enough for us to get close to Kenny's team for an attack. "35 enemies, stantioned around the pilars.", Levi called out. We were off in a matter of seconds. After taking note of my knife throwing skills, Armin had also explained to me which spots of the enemy's bodies weren't armoured. Everything from the collar bones upwards, the stomach and the lower back. That those were my major spots to hit.

I had the first two right after leaving the smoke field. Easy strikes two the neck, but since one of them fell, I couldn't getmyknife back, six left. I wasn't as used to fighting people with sword so my goal was to keep the knives aslong as possible. Tw more down with a straight swing through the front pilars, we were  forcing them deeper and deeper into whatever hall this. Then suddenlysomething came to my mind... they're flying in a formation, from the right angle, I'd get 5 people in a row. I noticed Hanji near me, she had the perfect position for my idea.

"Hanji! Gimme a push." She understood as I flew towards her, folding her hands like you'd do for a  human ladder, I slowed slightly to no injure her hands when getting linking my foot there. "Ready?", she asked as squadded a little. "Ready.", I replied and she pushed me awaywith full force. My ideaworkedout nicely as I shot past the five me like a human bullet. All of them were done. Connie, Jean, Sasha and Hanji had one each, Mikasa at least 3, I had 9 and Levi probably some higher number. That mean around ten remaining enemies, probably less, we were even now. It wasn't looking too bad, until Kenny showed up.

From what I'd seenand heard before, he'd most definetely go after Levi directly, that'sthe reason he's here for. Someone has to go help- "Ana!" "Mikasa?" I flew towards her, hanging by a pilar. She pointed at a blonde woman. "She's good, must be the second in command.", Mikasa explained. "Copy, I distract her, you come up from the back and slit her open." The black haired girl in front of me nodded as I took off. The woman was fast and somehow her fighting style seemed familiar to me, I couldn't explain but something felt off.

When I rushed past her, she blocked my knives tho I still managed to slit her arm and thigh on the same side open just enough to limit her mobility, losing both knives in the process. She came back at me in an attempt to push me against one of the pilars, I managed to grab her arm and throw her away from me. For just a second, she was close enough to look me directly in the eyes, then towards my ear. When stopping at a pilar she called out to me.

"Still making your enemies bleed out? I thought you'd decided on a quicker method by now. But I suppose old habits die hard, don't they, 31008? Anastasia."
