Attack On Titan: The Soldier Worth One Thousand Soldiers

Prologue: Darkness

'There is a light in the darkness'

You walked aimlessly through the filthy streets of the Underground, something a 9 year old shouldn't do. You felt: alone, cold, exhausted, hungry, dehydrated and filthy. Your parents were killed by a gang of thugs when you were young so you didn't remember who they were.

As you pass the bakery, you smelled the aroma of fresh pastry, your stomach immediately grumbled. You thought about stealing but, you knew you would get caught, there were too many people inside and outside the bakery. Just when you were about to leave, a middle-aged woman exited the bakery with a warm, freshly-baked piece of bread in her hand.

You looked around and observed your surroundings. Thats what you do in any situation you were in, you observed every littlest detail, how many people are around you, how many crates are in the way, how tight the space is, everything and anything you observed. After memorizing, you can create a plan. You can do all this in a matter of minutes.

You observed and memorized around the bakery. There were two men talking in front of the bakery and beside them were crates. A girl with green eyes and a guy with dark blond hair on the other side. Near the bakery's allyway was a woman flirting with an older male, most likely a prostitute. And of course the middle-aged woman. You thought of a plan and then you sprung into action.

The middle-aged woman walked passesd the crates and that's when you ran. You ran toward the crates and jumped, using your hands to boost you up on the crate, your sudden action suprised the two men talking beside and knocked over some crates that were neatly stacked up. You ran on the crates beside the woman, the woman turned around upon hearing you. You jumped, while you were still in mid-air you snatched the warm bread from the woman. Landing on the ground, you put some distance between you and the woman, turning around too look at the woman.

"Oi! Give me back wants mine, girl!" You heared the woman yell at you. Once you turned around competently, you met the middle-aged woman angry glare, you then looked at the girl with green eyes and the boy with dark blond hair looking at you with shocked expression on their faces. With that you turned around and ran.

Isabel's point of view

"Woah..." Isabel said as she watched you ran off.

"Did you see that?! That was a amazing!" She said looking at Furlan and while pointing at your small figure.

"Yeah" Furlan was surprise how a little, petite girl could do what you just did. Furlan has seen kids on the street, allyways, near shops but they would always be begging for money or for food. Never once in his life has he seen a kid so brave to steal, and to also do stunts.

"Do you think I could do what she did? I wonder how she did it?" Isabel was still rambling.

"Lets go Isabel, you know Levi doesn't like it when were late." Furlan started walking away from the bakery, fixing his cloak to hide the Vertical Maneuvering Gear that he, along with Isabel and Levi, stole from the Military Police.

"F-Furlan! Wait!" Isabel ran to catch up to her tall friend.

Your Point of view

You ran far away from the bakery and the woman, with the bread against your chest. You took a sharp turn into an allyway and sat down against the wall, you took a minute to catch your breath. Once your breathing steadied you took a bite of the bread. It was soft, spongy, warm and heavenly delicious.

You finished eating the piece of bread, it wasn't much but you were still thankful you were able to eat today. You pulled your legs up to your chest for warmth and rested your chin on your knees. Just then you heared a noise, it sounded like a wires but you knew it wasn't the Military Police, because if it was the Military Police you would hear them giving out orders and see people getting arrested. So there's only one more explanation.

You had heared that a trio of thieves had robbed the Military Police of their 3DMG also know as Three dimensional Maneuver Gear. The noise stopped and it was silent once again, that is until a few moments later you heared foot steps.

Levi's point of view

Levi used his 3DMG to chase after the thug that pissed him off. Earlier Levi was wondering the streets of the Underground, when a thug bumped into him, if that didn't already piss him off, the thug started trowing insults at Levi. Telling him to 'Watch where he was going' even though it was the thug who should watch where he was going. Usually Levi would just ignore and walk away from any conflict but, not today. Levi was not having the nicest day today, so of course he latched out at the guy. Both men fought for sometime until the thug just gave up and ran away, but Levi was having none of it, so he started using his 3DMG gear to chase after the 'damn thug' as he says. Once he finally cornered, Levi beat him until he was unconscious. Once he was unconscious, Levi took a moment to calm down, he took a clean white cloth, that he himself washed, and wipe his knuckles. Levi started to walk after completely calming down, he walk through the dim streets of the Underground. When he took a turn into an allyway he saw something. No, someone.

It was a child, a little girl to be specific. She had (h/l) (h/c), she was wearing a white dirty gown and had some dirt on her face, she looked like any other kid in the Underground. But there was one thing that's different about you, it was your eyes. Kids who are on the streets, always had dull, lifeless, sad looks on their eyes but her, shr was different. Her eyes had a sparkle in them, her eyes still had hope even if she was in the Underground and a dirty allyway. Even though that was the case Levi couldn't help but feel bad.

The girl reminded him, a child with no parents, left all alone in this cruel world to fend for yourself, barely surviving. That's when he made a decision.

"Tch, what's your name?" He asked, looking at you with his signature emotionless expression.

"(Y/n). Just (Y/n)" She replied. Levi sighed, letting his expression soften, slightly.

"Lets go." He bluntly says. The girl gave him a confused look.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"Do you really want to stay here in this filthy dump?" He asked with, raising an eyebrow. It took the young girl a minute to make a decision, but eventually she stood up and held on to Levi's shirt, standing closely to Levi. They both started walking off.

Your Point of view

Levi made the decision to take care of you and take you under his wing, just like Kenny did. Just like Kenny Ackerman did. He'll do everything Kenny did. He'll feed you, he'll make sure you're clean, he'll train you, he'll teach you how to survive in the Underground, he'll make sure that your strong. There is one thing he won't do. He won't abandon you. Levi knows exactly how it feels to be abandon, so he surely won't leave you all alone.

He looked down at your smaller figure and sighed through his nose.

"What am I getting myself into?" Levi thought to himself.
