The Guardian's Tale (AOT fanfiction)

-Pain-

As Kenny prepared to fire his guns, Levi and I simultaneously threw a blade at him. Being as experienced as he is, he deflected the blades and we quickly threw out cloaks up to protect ourselves from the retaliatory shot. Levi tapped my hand and I nodded before we both ran down the rooftop and jumped down into an alleyway. I shot my hooks into tall building and as Levi and I glided through the air, we noticed that the carriage Historia and Eren were in had been taken over by one of Kenny's crew members, with both of them knocked out. We decided to give chase but were intercepted by 6 men. 

I decided to break off from Levi and shot my hooks behind me, pulling myself back. I managed to whirls myself around and I cursed under my breath. They'd predicted our every damn movements. I weaved between every bullet and, in a risky attempt to get away, I detached one of my hooks, planted it in a crate and threw it at one of the men. With 1 down, I only had 2 on my tail. I spotted 2 others but I easily stabbed one and burnt the other. I stayed close to the ground and jumped from wall to wall as the 2 men attempted to take me down. Why in the hell would uncle Kenny work with the MPs ? 

Before I had any time to react, I saw his shadow hovering over me. I shot my hooks up and used the extra momentum to push myself up above him. I grabbed another blade and threw it at him but he managed to avoid it. Great now I had 2 men AND Kenny on my tail and I didn't know where the Captain was. Without turning my head, I avoided a bullet but my eyes widened when I saw Kenny below, pointing his guns right at me.

I desperately tried to get away but I heard the sound of one of his guns go off and felt a huge pain in my right side. He'd shot me. Blood spewed out of my mouth as both of my hooks detached and I fell to the ground. Shit not now of all times. Before I could hit the ground, Levi grabbed me and we burst into a bar, hiding behind the counter. 

A pool of blood formed under me as I curled myself up, holding a shaking hand over my wound. Then, I spotted a cloth near one of the bottles of alcohol. I grabbed it, tied it around my stomach and winced at the hellish pain. Levi took out his handkerchief and placed it in my mouth so that no noise would come out. I leaned back against the counter, trying to get the pain under control but it was agonizing. I hunched over and placed my left hand over my wound, somehow hoping that the pain would go away.

"Shit really ? Now of all times I have to be useless ? " I thought. "Come on heal yourself you stupid bitch. Bullshit I can't even do that."

Suddenly, Kenny burst in and Levi looked at me, worried. I weakly smiled and threw my head back, panting and sweating. I couldn't see myself but I knew I was getting paler and paler by the moment. 

"Aw come on you here or not ?!" Kenny yelled.

"Right here Kenny." Levi spoke up. "Been awhile. I really thought you'd be dead by now." He mocked as I removed the handkerchief from my mouth.

"S-Sup...uncle." I managed to say as blood started streaming down my mouth again. "A-All the M-MPs you were...butchering. N-Now you-...'re great f-friends huh ?"

"Yeah well adults do plenty of things kids can't understand." He replied.

I couldn't tell what he said afterwards as my hearing started to fail me. Levi looked at me and I weakly shook my head. Kenny then threw a chair into the liquor booth and broken glass and alcohol showered in front of us. I then got an idea and turned one of the alcohol bottles over to allow Levi and I to see Kenny. We saw that he had a gun pointed at us and a chair in his arm. I was just gonna slow Levi down if I stayed with him. I couldn't hear and I could barely see or move. 

Levi grabbed the shop owner's gun and shot Kenny, sending him flying out of the bar. I sucked up the agonizing pain and stood up as Levi said something to the owner and handed him his gun. As we took off, we both threw chairs out of the window as a distraction. Levi planted his hooks in one of the MPs to use him as a human shield as 2 started shooting at us. I sliced the neck of the one on the left as Levi took the right and we started chasing after the carriage that contained Historia and Eren. Another MP appeared in front of us, aiming his gun at me as he saw that I was wounded. Levi planted his hook in him and I sliced his chest. 

We spotted the others and Levi said something, I assumed he was telling them to follow the carriage. Jean looked at me and I weakly gave him a thumbs up before heading after Eren and Historia again. These soldiers were trained to fight other people...the moment we hesitated, it would be the end. I shot my hooks into one of the MPs in the carriage and threw him onto the pavement. Despite the loud ringing in my ears, I faintly heard the Captain order Armin, Jean and I to secure the carriage. As soon as I placed one foot in it, another shot went off from one of the rooftops and I pushed Jean out of the way. A bullet came and lodged itself in my left leg and I let out a loud cry of pain. I immediately hit the ground and tried to keep my eyes opened but I was losing too much blood due to the fact that the previous wound was still fresh. 

"Is this...how it ends for me ? " I thought. "Reiner...fathers...Jean...everyone...I'm so sorry." Then, I let out one last breath and the whole world went black
