Aware of how powerful the group were, the court decided to have them sit on chairs instead of being chained to a pole.

"We are here to decide which way this group before us will go, to the Military Police and execution, or to the Survey Corps and freedom." The judge intoned. "First, I invite the representative of the Military Police to speak."

"This rag tag group should be executed before they turn on us. They are dangerous and powerful and should be killed to prevent anything happening in the future." Nile stated.

"I now invite the representative of the Survey Corps to speak."

Erwin stood up, "These people are immensely strong and would be an incredible asset while on expeditions. On our most recent expedition in which we found these people, we arrived back safely with no casualties."

"Does the Military-" The judge was interrupted by Shinoa when she stood up.

"Do we get a say in our lives or are we too beneath your notice as to be allowed such a luxury?"

"You do not-"

Shinoa charged on speaking right over the poor judge, "We have been together through wars and battles, we will not be separated, and I cannot hold anyone accountable if this room gets trashed."

"What do you mean trashed?" Nile asked cautiously.

Shinoa gave an evil smile, "I mean, that none of us are going to go peacefully, have it on your own heads. Those that face no danger understand not the risks nor banding of battle." Shinoa sat down swiftly.

The poor judge was still having trouble collecting the last shreds of his dignity before Piper stood up, she opened her mouth but before she could speak Percy grabbed her arm and shook his head, and she sat down.

Then he stood up, "Me and my companions have survived through several wars of world destroying magnitudes and we will not be killed in this manner. Any effort to detain us will end in all of us fighting back. Any move we make will  be with kid gloves. Just be aware of that if you challenge us."

The rest of the court battle proceeded with no further, neither side giving an inch. Finally, Erwin won and the group preceded out of court, successful.


What a boring chapter. Meh, it will get better.
