"Captain Levi, they're down there. We almost lost them, but thanks to your collaborated prediction with Tempest, we were able to find them again." Nifa said, looking through a telescope. Eren and Historia were definitely inside the coffins being transported on a wagon, with the First Squad guarding it. My team had stayed with the recruits, but I could tell they didn't like babysitting.
"...Something's odd. They're not acting like what I thought the First Squad would act like." Levi muttered, "They figured out Reeves was working alongside us."
"I was thinking the same thing.... They're kind of acting like you, Levi." I answered, looking at him.
He gazed back at me, "No.. More like.. him."
"Him?" Nifa asked, still watching the transport wagons.
"Have you heard of 'Kenny The Ripper'?" He asked her.
"Wait. Are you saying he's on their side?" My eyes widened.
"The mass murderer from the city?" Nifa answered him, "The one they say slit the throats of a thousand MPs who tried to capture him? That's just an urban legend though."
"He exists. It's all true." Levi said. I nodded.
"What?!" Nifa exclaimed.
"I lived with him for a time when I was a kid."
"Huh?! What the hell are you?.. How can you joke around at times like this, Captain...?" I saw her faintly blush from the open backstory and slight awkwardness. My heartbeat started to quicken. I felt as if something was going to happen. Then, we heard a thud behind us.
"Get down!" I shrieked.
"Nifa-," Levi started, dodging the bullets that flew past our heads. Nifa's face burst into a thousand shards of crimson. Levi's eyes widened.
"God dammit..." I hissed, barely dodging my set. Right then, the rest of Hange's squad were shot in the head, most of their faces missing. Levi looked shocked at the sight. "Levi. Get your head back in the game." He blinked out of his horror.
"Hey, Levi." Kenny, yes the one we were just talking about, was on the roof next to us. "Oh look, Tempest's here too. Two birds with one stone." Kenny reloaded, "Look at how ya've grown." He shot his 3DMG into the chimney we were crouching behind. He then flew himself over to our side, pistols ready to fire, "No... Ya really haven't changed much, have ya?!" Kenny's hat flew off.
"Kenny!" We both yelled, unsheathing our swords. Levi flung his cape off right when Kenny shot another round of bullets.
"Don't look at her!" I shouted at Levi, who's eyes were fixed on Nifa. He nodded, and both of us flew off. We trailed the wagon holding Eren and Historia, but three men jumped out of hiding. An ambush! Damn it Kenny... The building behind us exploded in shards as we continued to dodge their attacks.
"Levi!" I screamed, seeing that the buildings between us were going to explode. I pushed him out of the way, feeling the stone shards and a few bullets pierce my spine and ravage the right side of my face. Tsk. I didn't need that eye anyways....
"Tempest!" He cried out, glancing back.
"I'm fine! Just keep going!" We flew into a bar, shocking the bartender and the customers.
"I-it's Levi... and Tempest? From the Survey Corps!" We stood on top of the counter.
"Ah..." I said, touching my face. What wasn't there, was skin, and my eyepatch. I knew it was only a matter of time before they caught me.
"Temp-," Levi started, seeing my ruined self.
"Don't worry about me... Get behind the counter and grab his rifle.." I felt the blood trickle into my open eye. The memories started to return. "No... no, no, no.. Not now... Shit.." I covered my eye, breathing hard. We were crouching behind the counter at this point, Levi holding the gun. I felt my legs weaken. Suddenly, I felt a warm hand on top of mine.
