Fifteen minutes of waiting was all it took. A big supply of food and other basic living necessities were delivered in large crates, and they weren't guarded one bit. It didn't take long for the three thugs to show up and cause a scene.

The three of them flew into the crates, sending the supplies flying all over the road. Many citizens ran up and took as much as their arms could carry.

"Someone get the military police!" One of the merchants yelled.
"Erwin!" I yelled as I looked back at him.
He and Miche were already standing up and ready to chase after them. I nodded without saying a thing and grabbed the operational grips that were placed at my sides.

"Let the military police distract them a bit. Let's let them think they got away." Erwin said as he walked up beside me. The three of us walked into the middle of the street and watch the big chase go down. Miche and I were waiting for Erwin's signal to engage.

I watched as the thugs managed to throw off the MPs that were chasing them. They all began to fail around in the air like idiots.
"Now!" Erwin yelled as he deployed his anchors, launching himself up into the air.
Miche and I slapped each other's hands and soon followed close behind Erwin. We kept our hoods up, keeping our faces hidden from the thugs.

We followed close behind them, close enough for them to notice and change course. The one in the middle sent his anchors to the opposite sides of himself, creating a slingshot like effect. He flung himself back behind us, quickly turning and moving in the way we had just came.

They weren't going to shake us off that quickly, as we too changed course as well. Two of the three went off in different directions, leaving the one in the middle to me.

He was good, better than the other two. His movements were quite literally perfect. He was able to wedge himself into an alleyway, causing me to lose sight of him. But I wasn't going to let him get away, not without a fight.

I was able to catch him as he was just emerging from the darkness of what looked to be an abandoned building. I drew my swords and attempted to slash him out of the air, but he was too quick.

He just nearly avoided my blades, flying right past me. But luckily for me, Miche was able to stop him, pushing him right to the ground.
I spun around, deploying my anchor to a tall building and launching myself towards the fight. Miche was about to go for the kill, but now that I had seen these guys in action, I knew that we had to go along with Erwin's plan.

Just before Miche and the guy I had been chasing were about to clash with each other, I placed myself between them, blocking the criminals knife attack.

I ran my blade up to his neck, but he was able to stop it before it got too close. He gripped onto my wrists; we were now in a battle of strength.
"Stop." I murmured as I looked him in the eye, "Take a look around you."

He glanced over my shoulder, his friends had already been defeated and detained.
"Bro!" a girl with light red hair yelled.
The man looked back at me, slowly releasing the knife from his hand. It fell to the ground next to his feet. I took a step back from him, but I made sure not to take my eyes off of him for a second. I was about an inch taller than him, and there was just something about him that seemed familiar to me.

"You're quick to understand." Erwin said in a monotone voice as he walked up behind him. He shackled up his wrists as dragged the man over to his three friends, having him kneel down on the ground.

     Miche and I stood behind them, making sure they didn't try to escape or harm Erwin.

     "I have some questions for you," Erwin said as he stared the three of them down, "how did you get these?" He asked, holding up the operational grips of his ODM gear.
     No response.
     "You're good at using it too. Who taught you."
     No response.
     Erwin paused for a moment, staring down the short one with pitch black hair, "You, are you the leader? Have you had any military training?"
     No response.
     Erwin's gaze hardened, "I'll ask again. Where did you learn to use ODM gear."
     No response.

     At this point Miche was getting impatient with the black haired one. Miche grabbed the back of the man's head and shoved it into the muddy puddle in front of him.

     The other two stared with wide eyes.
     "We didn't learn from anyone! We're self-taught!" The taller one yelled, he looked familiar to me too. He seemed desperate for his friend to be released.

     "Tell him to let bro go!" The girl yelled as she looked back at me.
     Erwin raised his eyebrow at the taller one, "Self-taught? I don't believe it." He deadpanned.
     The tall one clenched his teeth, "we'll do whatever it takes to get out of this dump! People like you who get to bask in the sunlight all day wouldn't understand anything about it!"
     The girl nodded in agreement to her partners words, "you can't just do as you please!" She yelled.

     Erwin smirked at their remarks. He then knelt down in front of the black-haired man.
     "My name is Erwin Smith, I'm a section commander in the survey corps. What's yours?" He asked, staring the man dead in the eye.
     "Levi..." the man mumbled.

     At that moment the familiarity I felt towards him all made sense. I looked at Levi, then I looked at the taller guy. They were them! The boys that I had helped escape back down here years ago.
     "Levi," Erwin began, "let me make a deal with you."

     Levi tilted his head slightly.
     "I'll look past your crimes, and clear you and your friends' names, if you lend me your strength. Join the Survey Corps."
     Levi glared back at him; a drop of dirty water fell down his cheek.

     "If I refuse?" Levi asked.
     Erwin smiled; his cold, dead eyes seemed to be staring into Levi's soul.

     "I'll hand you into the MP's. I'm not sure they'll be as nice as we have, though." He said as he stood up, "make your choice."
     Levi looked away from Erwin and to his friends, then back at Erwin. Levi took a deep breath, "Fine..." he mumbled, "We'll join the damn scouts."
