Sam leapt into action reluctantly  as Jerrica and Vane joined the rest of the un-uniformed Survey Corps. Only one uniformed officer stayed behind to look after them. They huddled together feeling very defenseless. Titans were moving and they were forced behind buildings.
"We're the Survey Corps! This is bullshit!" One of the fellow 104th Survey Corps members shouted.
"Without gear." Vane deadpanned.
A bloodied Garrison soldier ran towards them.
"Not anymore! There is some spare gear inside the house on the left! Go, go, go!"
The 104th Survey Corps scrambled to get the gear on inside the house. They took their swords out and swung into action.
"Hey Sam!" Vane shouted as he passed him, looking very surprised. He killed a Titan though escaping another one very narrowly.
"Nice one!" Sam said slicing another.
Vane felt proud of his first solo kill of his Survey Corps reputation, but it also reminded him of his first kill as a Trainee, during the Trost campaign.
-
"On your left!" Jerrica shouted, swinging to the right.
Vane reacted just in the nick of time, the Titans hand came down where he had been standing less than a second ago.
"Let's tag team this son of a bitch!" He yelled.
She nodded.
Vane zipped under it's legs and Jerrica behind it's back.
The Titan contorted in an attempt to get both in one sweeping motion.
It let out a roar, but not before Vane and Jerrica traded places and Vane killed it.
They both sat on the roof, panting.
"Let's never do anything that complex ever again." Vane said.
"Agreed." Jerrica nodded numbly.
-
He smiled fondly, but now was not the time to reminisce.
Most of the time he was dodging Titans and collisions with other soldiers. He had swung too low on this one Titan and its teeth closed around his booted foot. Immense pain ran through it as Vane yelled in agony.
"Fuck!" He yelled as blood dripped from his now stump as the Titan reared to take another bite. A fellow 104th Survey Corps soldier got it and shouted for Vane to get back behind the Defense. He clutched the bleeding stump, curses escaping his lips as his breathing was shallow.
After about thirty minutes the area was cleared and Vane staggered out from behind the Defense.
"Did... did we win?" He asked and then collapsed. His vision went black.
--------
Vane woke up some time later.
The first thing he was aware of was the rumbling ground underneath him. He was in a cart.
The second thing he was aware of was Jerrica by his side, clutching something wrapped in paper.
"What the hell happened? How long has it been?"
"Well... Your foot is gone, it's been almost nine hours."
"What happened during that period?" 
"The rest of the Survey Corps regrouped a top the Wall. I didn't do much. But quickly things got out of hand. With the appearance of the Colossal and Armored Titan."
"Is the Wall broken?" He asked, suddenly alert.
"Luckily it isn't. And the Colossal and Armored Titans were Bertolt and Reiner respectively. They can shift into Titans like Eren and Annie. They ran away with Ymir, who also can transform into a Titan, after a battle against Eren. They took him too. Krista's real name is Historia Reiss and we're on an expedition to find them with some Military Police members and Garrison members."
Vane's head throbbed as he attempted to process this information all at once.
"Sam included?" He asked after a minute.
"Yes." He looked down at his own body, he was fully dressed in uniform.
"I'm in uniform?"
"Yes."
"Did you put it on?"
A heavy blush crossed her face.
"Yes. But I made something for you." She looked him dead in the eye and placed something in his hand. "A wooden foot."
Vane examined it.
"How?" He asked weakly.
"I'm quite the carver." She took it back and fixed it on his stump of a leg. It fit perfectly. And as he opened his mouth to question she answered it. "I measured." He sat up.
"How can I thank you?"
"Any way you see fit." She leaned in close to him. Vane knew what she was doing this time. She kissed him. His eyes were wide but he kissed back and they sat like that for a good minute. Until Sam rode up and whistled.
"I see... Two lovebirds." He chuckled.
The pair broke contact.
"Sam. Not cool." Vane said his cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"I know what you can do for me." Jerrica murmured.
"What?" She kissed him again and as she pulled back said,
"Stay alive."
"I'll try my best."
