LEVI

Adrenaline spiked making my blood sing as the man that had dragged me up kicking and screaming, raised the still smoking cylinder attached to his arm and levelled it with my chest. Not wishing to follow Nifa's and her squad into the afterlife, I acted in haste and threw my cloak out to block his line of sight before diving to the side and launching my detached blade to throw the air straight at his shit-eating grin.

Die you old fuck!

Of course, luck wasn't on my side and the lanky bastard managed to deflect my attack but not before I had engaged my ODM gear and rocketed through two of his men, slashing their lives away from them before diving down for the cover of the streets below, twisting and turning at every impossible angle to cut them off at their obvious play for Eren and Historia.

SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! He predicted our every damn movement! Fuck him! Fuck him to hell and back! Of all people why the hell would he work with the MPs-

Shadows descended upon me as I sailed down a narrow alleyway and glancing above on instinct, I barely had time to dive underneath an upturned wagon lying in the alley when two loud shots rang out and a sharp stinging burned in my hairline as wooden splintered off into my skin.

FUCK! If this keeps up, I will lose my team and Eren and Historia... I will lose Aurora.

Grappling around another sharp corner, everything came to an almost standstill as assailants appeared at escape route. No matter where I went, I was truly fucked, but just as I began to make my peace with that, gripping my blades tighter, ready to fight to the death to buy Aurora and the others time, I saw the bar come into sight and launched myself inside in last ditch desperation, stunning the oblivious customers to the chaos outside into silence.

"It's Levi of the scouts" A patron muttered awestruck as I dived over the bar looking for the one thing I desperately needed.

Where is the fucking gun?!

"Make yourself at home, sir." The barkeep stammered as he pulled the rifle out from under the counter that I was searching for just as that obnoxious drawl I hated almost as much as I hated the Titans sounded just outside the still swinging doors at the bar's entrance.

He's here. 

"Ready or not!" Kenny sneered as I ducked down behind the bar, quickly loading the rifle before he burst into the bar full of life itself, "It's the damndest thing, I seem to be smelling a rat in this fine establishment. Come on out little rodent, the sheriff is here, and I aim to exterminate all the vermin I can find! Bang Bang!"

Silence answered his little parade and quietly pulling the clock back on the rifle, I waited for my opening to avenge the last of Rian Sparhawkes future.

I'm sorry Nifa...

"Oh come on! You here or not?!" Kenny exasperated and seeing an opportunity to gain some information as I waited for my literal shot, I took a deep breath before speaking to the man that had taught me everything I know before abandoning me to the wolves. 

"Right here, Kenny." I drawled, his name leaving a bitter taste in my mouth, "Been a while. I really thought you'd be dead by now, what with all the MPs you were butchering but now your great friends huh?"

"Yeah well adults do plenty of things kids like you can't understand- oh right my mistake, you're supposed to be an adult now, but you're still such a runt it's hard to tell." Kenny grinned at his unoriginal insult, and yet the old snide that he gave me as a child unexpectantly stung, "Always hoped that I might get to see you in action someday, I can't say I'm disappointed either. Seems you seem to remember every trick I taught you, but did I ever teach you what happens to a cornered rat?"
