"Spread out! Take formation to locate any enemies!" Erwin commanded as he put his left arm out.

The formation split up into the Long Range Scouting formation as done before in the 57th expedition. Mikasa, Armin, Hannes, Jean and Y/N rode alongside each other on their horses, between Mikasa and Y/N their thoughts were solely focused on getting Eren back.

Barely an hour had passed as a red flare round was fired, a Titan was spotted at three'o clock . The right wing had merged with the center, holding their course to take the shorestest path possible, as Erwin intends since they only had until sunset.

Mikasa was riding a little further ahead of everyone else as Hannes calls out to her, gaining her attention.

"I know how you feel, but... didn't I tell? Eren won't get taken away without putting up a fight. Don't you agree?" Hannes told her which she nodded to know g he was right.

"You know he'll never give up. It's up to us to stay calm and be there when he needs us. Just like we did back then. Actually, Y/N's always been the calmest out of the three of you, coolheaded and able to see through everything clearly... heh, it's good he's always there to support y'all." Hannes chuckled when he talked about Y/N who was riding besides Armin.

He heard Hannes and merely smiled at this. He always had been the calmest, even when in those darkest of times, he still stayed calm and did what needed to be done.

'You're god damn right Hannes, you drunkle.' He chuckled to himself before getting serious once more. His motive was to bring Eren home. That's all there is to it, titans be damned to hell, Reiner and Bertholdt included.

Far in the distance, the giant forest was coming in view. The same forest where the 57th expedition took place at.

'Eren. Just you hold on. We're almost there.' He thought as he sees green flares being fired.

He was pushing H/N fairly hard, but he knew H/N could handle it, after all this very horse was one of a kind breed worth caring for, even if he hadn't seen them in awhile after the 57th expedition.

But this time, multiple red flares were being fired off, a clear indication that the amount of titans from last time likely doubled in numbers.

'Tsk, Annie's damned scream probably is the reason why they're so gathered up. But, we're close—'

He spots a green flare being fired way ahead as it was closest to the forest. He readied his blade just in case, then a lightning strike within the forest.

'Eren? No. I need to see for myself if it's really Eren!' He thought as he noticed the formation beginning to split off rather than head directly into the forest since titans came out from there.

And until they were away that was when they rode into the forest and resorted to ODM gear after avoiding much of the titans

"First thing is to find the enemy then let the others know! They should be fleeing from the forest!" Hannes told Mikasa, Armin and Y/N who followed him.
