The Scouts

(A/N: attached to the top is a quick video of the King and his throne room from Attack on Titan, as well as Dott Pixis. If you haven't read or watched AOT then you should check it out, it's a really short quick clip so it won't take long at all. Oh and I know the subs are in French, but the words aren't important. Oh and you know the plate? Yeah that's the plate I land on. Except in this its gold XD)

Sophie groaned as she sat up from her position on the golden platter, feeling biscuits crumble and drop to the metal as they fell off her back. Looking around, she took in the positions of her friends; Alix had landed on the floor and had been consequently been knocked unconscious, seeming to have caught Sophie's bad luck. Must be contagious. All of the soldiers had the Military Police crests on their shirts, leading The taller brunet to believe that stupid drainpipe had indeed spat them out in the King's throne room.

Thomas wasn't as lucky as the other two. No, in fact he'd landed on the King's head, bouncing off once he did so and landing on the floor but effectively knocking the golden crown off and leaving the man appropriately stunned.

As Sophie sat up she met the eyes of Commander Dott Pixis, who was on a chair opposite the King. Sophie assumed from the scattered game pieces on the table that there had been a game of chess going on before they crashed the party. Now she was staring at someone who had commanded the only victory humanity held against the Titans, and was the leading commander in charge of defending Trost district.

There was silence in the throne room for a tense minute, before;

"Get them! Kill the intruders, now!"

The reaction was instant: the sounds of guns being fired filled the room as rifles were aimed at the heads of the three friends. Sophie noticed all the members of Military police were on the right side of the room, meaning they didn't have to worry about assault from the left. She grabbed the golden platter as the first shot was fired, swinging into action in a second. Once she had the giant plate firmly in her grasp she jumped and rolled, stopping in front of her still unconscious
best friend, Thomas somewhere behind her.

"They're armed, be careful!"

Sophie blinked a few times at the statement, before looking down at herself. It was true:they had indeed kept their weapons from the Rangers Apprentice world. She bit her lip as bullets were reflected off the golden platter, leaving dents behind. Gold was a soft metal; it wouldn't last long. She looked at the rifles that were being fired, mind racing. The year was around 805 ish, right? That meant these guns wouldn't be all that advanced... Or powerful...

Knowing this was either gonna get her shot or save her life she unsheathed her Katana, turning round to Thomas, who was holding up the Ranger knives Halt had given him.

"Thomas, look after Alix. If either of you die I swear to God in gonna kick your ass."

The blond just nodded, taking both the unconscious girl and the golden platter. That left Sophie defenceless, and the brunet swerved to the side as a bullet went straight past her head, before locking her sword into position in front of her. She'd had a lot of practise over the past two months, and there was a glint in her eyes as she blocked the next few bullets with the blade, sparks flying as metal met metal. The soldiers were frozen for a second, staring at her in shock.
