Levi

"Yo, Levi. You grown any yet?" Gas hisses as it is jettisoned from a canister, much like if the man was wearing ODM, but instead of blades, he bears twin firearms. Flying up, he aims down at Levi. "Oh? It doesn't look like you changed at all!"

Levi draws his blades to engage the older brown-haired man with a cry. "Kenny!" Ejecting one of his blades, he throws it at Kenny, but the assassin blocks it with his sword. A shot is fired, ripping through Levi's cloak and the stone structure behind him. With a final quick glance at Nifa, Levi rushes down the roof, evading more strong blasts as he falls in the space between buildings and dashes off with his ODM.

By the time he got to the cart, Eren and Historia were already disposed of and any chance of rescuing them was shelved immediately by the presence of other assassins. He hooks himself to the ground to dodge their fire, then proceeds to fly as fast as he can from the gunmen and their powerful gunfire. Shit! They predicted ever last one of our movements! He looks to a building, seeing Kenny's shadow and adjusts course to an alleyway. Kenny… What the hell is he doing in the Military Police? Gunfire rains down all around Levi, forcing him to use his agility to get around the alleyway and flies straight into a bar. Touching his forehead, he feels blood seeping out a wound above his left eye. Shit… if this keeps up, I'll lose my team, Eren, and Historia too.

"Ain't that the damnedest thing! I smell a filthy rat coming from this bar. Come out, you little rodent….Found ya! The law has come to exterminate the vermin! Bang! Bang!" By the time Kenny entered the bar, Levi hid behind the counter. "The hell? Ain't you here?"

"Right here, Kenny. It's been a while. Never thought you'll still be alive. What happened to slaughtering the Military Police? Now you're one of them?"

"Adults do plenty of things a kid like you can't understand. Oops, my bad. You're just so tiny, it's hard to believe you're older now. I have been looking forward to seeing you in action. Never thought all those tricks I taught you would be helping you out like this. Didn't I ever tell you what happens to a cornered rat? No matter which way you try to run, you'll get blasted from above. Hey, Levi…" A chair smashes into the bottles on the shelf, raining glass and alcohol on Levi. "There's gotta be a reason you became a Scout, and I think I know what it is. We had no choice but to survive in that garbage dump. It took all we had each day to keep livin'. And when we found out how big the world really was, you can bet it hurt like hell. But something saved us. We'd found something we wanted to do. It's that simple. It's simple, but the truth is the only thing that made our lives fulfilling was finding hobbies."

"Hobbies?" Levi reaches up to a bottle, turning it slightly to an unlabeled side of it to get a view of Kenny. "So is blowing the heads off my team another hobby of yours?"

"Yup. To achieve my grand goals, I'll kill as much as I have to. You're no different. You kill when it benefits you, too."

"Yeah." Reaching for the rifle underneath the bar counter, he holds it up and fires at Kenny, hitting his adversary out the bar. Standing up, he hands the rifle to the bartender. "Thanks, old man." Picking up a chair, he throws it out the window, using it as bait for gunfire. It works, and Levi uses the confusion to leap out the window, shooting a hook at the baited gunman's face. Taking his body along, he uses it as a shield to protect himself from the dead man's comrades as they fire on Levi. Their ammunition exhausted, Levi discarded the body and propels himself forward, killing the two shooters in one sword swing.
