Since day one

Xavier's Return

Levi's POV

I was beginning to sweep up the crumbs Hanji left when Armin and Eren came in.

''Captain Levi, there are titans attacking the outside border lines and are closing in on the camp, fast.'' Armin says, panting slightly.

''Come on, lets get suited up and go.'' I said, putting the broom down and going to the door. I walk to towards the doors when Armin and Eren both appear on my side.

''There's also one more thing.'' Eren says, taking the left side. I look at him from the corner of my eye at him.

''And what is that?'' I asked.

''Xavier is with them and he seems to be commanding them.'' Armin says, taking my right. I stop and look at them, not sure how to respond.

''Waht do you mean 'commanding them'? They..you can't command a titan, they'll eat you alive, they don't even have the brain compacity to be given orders. So how is he commanding them?'' I asked again. Armin and Eren looked at each other then looked at me.

''We don't know how ourselves, but all we know is that he is giving orders, and by some way or another they are doing it.'' Armin says.

''Yeah and all the others are outside fighting the titan onslaught.'' Eren says, looking out towards the door.

''Wait, where is Mikasa?'' I ask them.

''I guess she went outside to fight them.'' Eren says shrugging. I turn back around and hurry outside.

'I don't know how you are doing this but if you touch or hurt Mikasa again, you will regret it.'

Mikasa's POV

I sail through the air as I get behind one of the titans, it turns around and tries to slap me out of the air but I dodge its hand, getting behind it and succsessfully killing it. I land on a nearby tree branch to try and catch my breath, after all since I got out here I have been killing titans left and right. Charolette lands on a branch a little away from me.

''You all right?'' she asks me, trying to catch her breath as well.

''Yeah...I'm fine...just waiting for my second wind.'' I said. ''What about you?'' I asked.

''Huh, Oh, yeah, I am fine!'' she says, giving me a thumbs up. ''Did you hear about why they are attacking us?'' she asks me.

''Yeah..Xavier.'' I said, thinking back to that horrible traitor.

''Yeah..I don't understand how someone can command a titan, I mean isn't a titan's main focus is eating?'' she asks.

''Yeah...I don't know either.'' I said, staring down at my sword. Me and Charolette stand on our branches for a while more untill Charolette sets her eyes on a titan.

''Well, I am well rested now, back into the fray, see you!'' she says, swinging herself towards the titan. I collect my breath for a while more and then go back in. I had already killed 6 more titans and was going through the air when Charolette glided in beside me.

''Mikasa...look.'' she says, pointing behind her. We both rest on a nearby branch and I look to where she had pointed at. What I saw made me shocked and at a loss for words. And what I saw was that a little into the distance I see a 50 meter titan and riding on its shoulder is Xavier.
