"EREN!" Mikasa screamed.

She had arrived just in time to see the Female Titan bite Eren and remove him from his Titan, before she started to run away.

Mikasa was in shock for a few moments, but very quickly, that shock turned to blind rage and she sped towards the Female Titan, hellbent on getting Eren back.

"GIVE HIM BACK!" She screamed. "GIVE EREN BACK!"

The Female Titan swung at Mikasa, who dodged the attack, and swung at her nape, but her blades shattered upon impacting the Hardened skin the Female Titan created.

Undaunted, Mikasa quickly reloaded her blades and went to attack again, but was grabbed by a massive clawed hand that pulled just hard enough to remove the anchor she fired from the tree.

Mikasa struggled to get out of the Titan's grip, until she recognized Asura's Titan form as he ran after the Female Titan. With him was Levi.

"Asura! Captain!" She exclaimed.

Asura grunted in response, as he kept running after the Female Titan. Despite being in his Titan Form for roughly an hour, the Feral Titan showed no sign of exhaustion, which amazed both Ackermanns.

"Don't attack recklessly." Levi reprimanded Mikasa. "You'll run out of blades if you do that."

"She has Eren!" Mikasa yelled. "And I'm going to get him back!"

Asura let out a short growl that sounded like a bark, and sped up a bit. He wanted Eren back too, but attacking the Female Titan recklessly would only get him and his passengers killed.

"Need... A... Plan..." He growled out. "Won't... Save... Eren... If... Dead..."

"But..." Mikasa began.

"Sometimes I wonder how this guy has more sense than half of the Corps put together." Levi muttered. "Asura's right. Rushing her blindly will only get you killed. We need to weaken her first."

(That, and disable her long enough to get Eren back.) Asura thought. (I could soften her up enough so Mikasa and Levi can get Eren back, or Take her out altogether. Still... Her scent is so damn familiar...)

"Asura..." Levi said. "Were you listening?"

Asura grunted in response.

"Mikasa and I will hang back and wait while you soften her up." Levi said. "After that's done, we'll cut her jaw open and get Eren. Got it?"

The Feral Titan nodded, and as Levi and Mikasa lept off his back, he accelerated forward. He pounced on the Female Titan and swiped at her, but was kicked off.

Landing on his feet, he sprinted forward again, ducking a Hardened jab from the Female Titan, who tried to sweep his legs, but the Feral Titan lowered his body to the ground, causing the attack to sail over him.

Not missing a beat, the Feral Titan sprang into a hand stand and grabbed the Female Titan with his hind legs, before twisting his body and throwing the Female Titan over him while she corkscrewed in the air.

The Female Titan was slow to recover, but threw a punch at the Feral Titan, but her fist was caught in his jaws, and his canines managed to puncture the Hardened skin on her arm. A feat that wasn't unnoticed by Levi.

The Feral Titan dragged the Female Titan towards him before slamming her into the ground, but she retaliated by kicking him hard enough to send him into a tree, impaling him on one of the branches.

Asura then had a flashback, as he finally pieced it all together. He knew who she was.
