Petra successfully killed 2 of the 3 titans that were in front of her. Before she could get to the 3rd one, her gear started malfunctioning and she fell to the ground. She wasn't that far up so the fall didn't hurt her that bad. She ran away from the titan that was coming at her, she knew it would be impossible to kill it without her gear. Since her gear wasn't working, she dropped it, allowing her to run faster. She had been running for a while and decided to take a rest. There was a hole in a tree, big enough for her to fit in so she went in it. Eventually passing out.

Levi killed the final titan of the group. He searched around looking for Petra, but after walking all he came accross was her 3DMG. This struck fear into Levi, how could she kill any of the titans if she didn't have her gear? Erd, Gunther, and Oluo finally caught up to him.
"Captain!" They called out to him, but he was still looking at Petra's gear, imagining the worst.
"Hey! Levi?" Erd came up to him, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Petra's gear, lying on the ground broken.
"Come on... We have to go get our horses." Levi said, in a low, shaky, voice.
"But Sir! Shouldn't we look for her?" Asked Gunther.
"..." Levi remained silent, he hopped on his horse and started leaving. The rest followed, worried about their comrade.
~•~•~•~•~•~
"Is she dead?"
"A dead girl won't sell for much."
"Well no shit."
"She's alive. She's breathing. One of those Survey Legion or whatever jackets on her. Don't ya think she'll put up a fight?"
"Well let's take her anyway. She looks like she'll sell pretty high. Or we could hold her for ransom against that Scouting Corps shit."
One of the unnamed people grabbed the sleeping Petra from her place in the tree and placed her in their carraige.
They arrived at a cabin in the woods.
"Hey Claren! We got one! And she's in the Recon Legion too!"
"It's the Scouting Legion you imbecil. Let me see her." The man named Claren demanded. A guy carried her over and set her on the ground in front of Claren.
"We were thinkin' 'bout holdin' her for random 'gainst the Scouting Legion."
"Perfect. Send a note. Figure out her name." Said Claren.
"Ral. Petra Ral. One of the best soldiers in the Scouting Legion." A man in a dark corner of the room said, walking towards them.
"So, you finally decided to come out, Walter."
"Yes, as I was saying this is Petra Ral. She is in Humanity's Strongest Soldier's squad." Walter laughed. "So long story short, she is meaningful to the great Levi."
"Good. Send the note now!"
~•~•~•~•~•~
"You're missing one Rivaille." Erwin said, eyeing his squad.
"Shut it." Levi said, looking away. Hanji watched Levi's sad face and jumped on her horse.
"Hey Levi!" Hanji yelled, mounted on her horse.
"What the fuck do you want shitty glasses?"
"Well maybe we should go look for your girlfriend! Come on! Everyone here KNOWS she's alive! A little 6 meter can't kill her!"
"Hanji no." Erwin said.
"Hanji yes!" Hanji said.
"Sir!" A random cadet walked up to Levi "There's some titans on their way here!"
"Ready yourselves!" Levi called.
And of course they defeated the titans and continued on their mission, Levi's mind drifting to Petra every once in a while. They went back to the walls unsuccessful and made their way to the HQ. The next day, Levi was currently in his office, thinking about where Petra could be.
Then there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Levi asked.
"It is I, commander eyebrows."
"What do you want Hanji?" Levi asked annoyed.
"Dammit Levi!" Hanji opened the door. "Well anyways, we made some coffee, and here's all your papers and envelopes and stuff." She handed him the coffee and papers. Levi took a sip of the coffee but immediately spit it back in the cup.
"This tastes disgusting." Levi said, straight foward.
"What? Everyone else actually found it good." Hanji said, before realizing, it wasn't the coffee, it was the person that made it. "Ahh I see what's going on. Well I'll be on my way! See ya later shorty!" Hanji closed the door behind her.
Levi started going through all his paperwork, when he came accross an envelope, it didn't have a return adress, just his name on the front of it.
"What is this?" He opened the letter and examined it. He finished the letter and his blood boiled in rage.
"HANJI!!!" He yelled.
A few seconds later the brunette popped her head in the door. "How may I-" She stopped after seeing how angry Levi was. "Woah what's got your cravat in a twist?"
"Tell Erwin I'll be back soon." And he left the room. Hanji stood confused, then walked to his desk. She picked up the letter and immediately dropped it after reading the first few lines.
"Oh my God... LEVI!!!" Hanji called, running after him. She finally caught up with him at the entrance to the stables. "Levi, do you really think I'm gonna let you go out?" He rolled his eyes. "Without me? And you're 3DMG? Who knows what you might face."
"Fine. You can come." He said grabbing his 3DMG and getting on his horse.
"Yes!!" Hanji yelled, grabbing her gear and mounting her horse quickly. They started riding into the woods, where the letter told them to go. "This is fun, isn't it Levi?" She looked at him. "The Adventures of Levi & Hanji: Mission: Damsal in Distress" She moved her arms in front of her, like it was the title of a movie.
"Can you just shut the fuck up? This isn't the time to be joking around." He scolded.
"Oh Levi let loose, you can't be this stiff and grumpy when we walk in there. Oh my Gosh! Levi we have to have like a script to follow when we go in, like, what should we say? We should say a really smart-ass comment or something, you're good at those, so maybe we could! This is gonna be great!" Hanji started rambling on, but Levi chose to ignore her, thinking only of what could be happening to Petra.
"Get up!" Claren yelled. Kicking Petra for approximately the 3rd time. (Yes i know how cruel this is but don't worry! Karma's a biotch) Petra coughed and hacked. Her arms were to weak for ger to pick herself up. "Come on! Scream for me, or I'm not getting my time's worth." Claren laughed, and kicked her again. When there was the sound of horses outside. "Looks like they're here. Let's hope they can pay the price.
