"We'll split off in three groups of four and each take a section of the city. I want a liaison every two blocks or so to relay back information." Erwin is addressing the group they have assembled. "The idea is that the 'false Levi' has no idea of our odm gear, so he will not be watching the rooftops. Levi, hanji, Sasha and I are in one group. All groups are to report in within an hour to this location. From here, we will head to the underground. Disperse."

The groups head out and Levi turns to Irwin. "What are we going to do when we find him?"
"Well personally, I would like to capture him but that is entirely up to you, Levi."
"Oh I want him fucking dead" Levi says, "but I'm not sure how YN I would take it. Find a way to get him back to his own world, maybe?"
"You sure that's what you want?" Hanji asks.
"I'm worried about her. I don't want him with her, I want her with me; but I'm going to let her make that choice."

"You love her?" Hanji asks in surprise. Levi gives her an annoyed and distracted look.
"Please, I barely know her." He sighs. "I'd like to though, very much."
With that, they head out to the northern part of the city; scanning the area for their quarry. After 45 minutes of searching, they spot movement in an abandoned warehouse.
"It's him." Levi states, eyes blazing with anger. "Relay back, and have all troops converge on this point."
"Yes Sir", the liaison states and heads back to inform the next in line.

He next turns to Erwin. "We should swarm him as soon as all troops are in position."
"I agree, let's-"
"You guys, he's moving." Hanji interrupts. "Let's give him a distraction, shall we?" Before either man can respond, she zips down from the top of the building, and opens the warehouse door.
"Damn it, Hanji!", Levi growls. "Sasha, keep your bow trained on that asshole. One false move, take him out." She draws back with a nod, focusing on the target only.

'Levi' turns around, brandishing the blade he has acquired menacingly; but relaxes momentarily at the approaching woman's familiarity.
'What have we here? Another way to fuck with Levi?'
"Oh thank goodness I found you!!" She wraps her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "I've been searching for hours! I was afraid you didn't survive this latest titan attack!"
He returns her embrace, sliding his hands down to cup her rear. "Everything's fine baby. Wanna go back to my place?"

On the Rooftop Levi looks on in disgust. 'Ew Hanj, ew.'

She smiles playfully at 'Levi', popping open the top few buttons on the man's shirt. "We can have our fun right here...."
His grin widens. "You're a naughty one, aren't you?"
Seeing the troops swarming in, Hanji replies. "More than that, you should know.." Her knee connects with his groin. "Levi doesn't call me babe. It's four eyes, you piece of shit!"
He's up a moment later, growling away the pain and coming for her. She backpedals quickly, and before he can do anything he's surrounded. He eyes the soldiers warily, looking for a weak link and subsequent avenue of escape. Seeing none at the moment, he straightens up and grins cockily.

"Aw shucks, what now Captain? We gonna have another one of our pointless fistfights?"
"Nah, I've got a better idea in mind", he says with a wicked grin. "Just down the road, is another warehouse much like this one. There's a group of thugs that make their home there, a very special group in fact. The type that would just LOVE a cute little ass like yours... bringing back memories, asshole?"
'Levi's' eyes widen momentarily in fear. "You wouldn't!" He growls.
"Oh, you're wrong. You see, once upon I time I owned these streets the way you own yours. Sometimes, people owe favors.... I don't mind collecting on this one at all."
Desperately, 'Levi' makes for a cluster of cadets to the right.
"Let him go!" Levi calls out, and the cadets step back. The fleeing man makes it almost to the door when Levi calls out.
"Now Sasha."
He's pierced in the knee by an arrow, and collapses to the ground with a curse.
