AFTER THE BATTLE - (Levi's Pov:)

The battle was over.......

However the cost was greater, than I had hoped for........

Losing Commander Erwin was a heavy loss to the Scouts, to the close people that surrounded him and to the other fellow Commanders that greatly respected him, though he was a crazy son a bitch. Charging head on in a shower of boulders, was such a waste of soldiers, but it was the only way for me to reach him without being noticed.

The burden will rest on me, until that hairy beast will die by hands.

Placing him on a bed in an old house, we laid him to rest. Painful as it seems, I didn't know what to feel. It was like I ran out of tears, my body numb, losing the man who used me for leverage in the Scouts. Now, I see a man I greatly respect and admire. 

Rest well Erwin.......your chapter in life has come to a close...

"Hold on, hold her damn wound!!!!" 

Shouting angrily, my throat boiling with panic, as Lena applied pressure upon the wound we found on her abdomen. Blood was pooling beneath her, and blood was everywhere, "Shit, shit shit........goddammit!!"

"One of you that isn't injured or is able to move, find a med kit now!" Hanji orders sharply, as my eyes was taking in her pale body. She must've lost so much blood, but how did she manage such wounds....?

Lena stood up quickly, and ran to find the med kit without a second thought in her mind.

Blood seeps through my fingers, trying to applying pressure hearing a slight grimace, but my stomach churns at the state she was in.

"She's got shrapnel in her wound in her abdomen!" Jean informs me, as I gasp pulling my hand away from applying pressure. Not knowing how she received most of these wounds, I was at a loss thinking what to do. Shaking my negative thoughts, by instinct I reacted quickly as Hanji begins to help with her wounds. Though it will prevent further bleeding, she would need to be checked by the professionals once we get back.

"What caused these wounds?" I question sternly, my eyes focus on Hanji taking the shrapnel out steadily and cautiously. 

"She was battling hand to hand with one of the enemies, sir!"

My eyes slightly widen instantly understanding whom it was, despite the odds were it could be another enemy. No, it was definitely him, the man that was after her in Trost and the underground caverns. Clearly she got attacked by surprise, knowing full well she was meant to help us out on the front lines. My eyes trace over her scattered wounds, as I gauzed her arm and shoulder that also had been scarred by the shrapnel.

"Where is the man now?"

The soldier stammers for a only a moment, "He's........."

"He's dead," Hanji replies blatantly, replying with bitterness in her tone. "She finished him off........that bastard got what he truly deserved."

The usual crazy scientists tone was more unusually cold, with a frightening gaze in her eyes.

My eyes fall upon my girlfriend, stunned that she managed to take him down, despite how heavy her wounds were. Hanji soon finished getting the shrapnel out, as Hanji began working on her with haste. We weren't professional with wounds, but I couldn't allow her to die. 

Not now, not ever....
