The Survey Corps
(I'm not going to rewrite the entire no regrets ova. But the info still applies)

The group became closer as time went on. Y/N and Furlan were as close as ever. Y/N and Isabel grew exceptionally close, considering that they were the only girls in the group. They would talk to each other about everything, including things that the guys couldn't understand. Y/N and Levi, on the other hand, were pretty much neutral with each other.

They only communicated when necessary, and Y/N rarely followed his orders since she made him agree to her 'terms of service.'

She still trusted him, though she'd never admitted it.

Now three years later, our heroine is 16 years old. Her, Furlan, Isabel, and Levi all live a life of crime in the Underground city below wall Sina.

They've discovered the usage of Omni Directional Maneuvering Gear (ODM Gear), also known as Three Dimensional Maneuvering Gear (3DM Gear).

After being taught how to use the technology by their group leader, their life of crime became more fluent and effortless.

They were known all across 'town' as 'Those Damn Brats.' A fearless group that wreaked havoc wherever they went. Even going as far as shaking up the Military Police members that dared try to stop them.

But things were different that day.

This day would change the foursome's life forever.

Now, stealing was common in the underground. No one bothered listening to the merchants' distressed calls for help when someone swipes something from their stand. Turning your back on petty thievery was all anyone ever did in the screwed up city.

But stealing military gear was a different offense.

And that's precisely what the group had done.

That day started like any other day for the group.

They were zooming through the city on their ODM Gear as usual when they began to be trailed.

Y/N sensed something was wrong.

"Levi," Y/N said worriedly. "Call me paranoid, but I feel like somethings about to go wrong."

Levi keeps moving forward, not bothering to turn around to face the girl.

"So you feel it too," he responds.

Just then, Y/N senses a presence behind her.

She turns back to see a group of soldiers following them.

Furlan looks back as well and looks over to Levi, who hasn't seemed to notice yet.

"Levi! They're here," Furlan shouts to his leader. "The pursuers!"

He looks back at them and lets out a 'tch' noise.

"Heh, the military police again?" Isabel chimed in. "Haven't learned their lesson have they?"

But something still doesn't feel quite right to Y/N. After so many failed attempts, you'd think those lazy MP bastards would have given up.

Isabel turns back to Levi and says

"Hey, big bro Levi! What I just said was cool, right?!"

Y/N couldn't help but snicker at her friend's remark.

"Are you an idiot?" He responds, and she frowns at the back of his head.

"Yeah, they haven't yet and are still sending elite soldiers," Furlan speaks up.
