The Guardian's Tale (AOT fanfiction)

-Wish-

Levi kicked the door open and we sent 3 barrels rolling down the stairs. I lit Armin's torch on fire and we busted through the door. Sasha shot one of the barrels with a flaming arrow, creating a smoke screen perfect for us to hide in. As Levi, Mikasa and I headed straight into enemy territory, the others shot up signal flares to cover us. I took a quick glance at the the soldiers on the pillars and gritted my teeth. Damn...that much ?

"35 TOTAL !" I shouted. "IN THE UPPER PARTS OF THE PILLARS !"

A woman ordered the soldiers to surround us as the others joined Levi, Mikasa and I. I shot my hooks into the lower parts of a pillar, using the smoke as a protective screen. As Sasha exploded a second barrel, I joined up Jean and we came up behind 3 men. Luckily for us, according to Armin, their gear had a huge flaw. The anchor pointed at the direction as the gun so once it's deployed, the gun can't be aimed again. Which means that the users were vulnerable to an attack from behind.

I shot my hooks into one of the men and sliced the other's throat while Jean took care of the third one. I decided to use the man attached to my hook as a bait, I kicked him up into the air and surely enough, they fell for it and shot him. I used this moment of weakness to shoot my hooks into a pillar and stab a man in throat. I then pushed off of the pillar and dove straight down, killing a woman that was using the smoke to cover herself. 

As a man aimed his guns at me, Armin fired smoke signals to cover me and I used them to dive back into the thick smoke below. Quickly, I touched a few pieces of wood that had scattered when the barrels exploded, setting them on fire to thicken the smoke. I shot my hooks up and whirled in between bullets. I spotted 2 men who appeared to be in some kind of sniping position and quickly spun around, hiding behind a pillar in front of them. I formed a small flame on my finger, signaling Armin to fire smoke signals.

As soon as he did, I dove into the green smoke and sliced both of their throats. I set foot on the small wooden platform they were on and immediately fell on one knee, covering my side. 

"This is NOT the time." I muttered under my breath. "Fuck it hurts like a bitch tho."

I sucked up the pain and dove back into the smoke below. As Sasha exploded the last barrel, I burst through the smoke wall and weaved in between people and bullets. I detached one of my hooks and stuck it into a man's throat, killing him and making him a human shield. As soon as I got close enough, I discarded of him and used the momentum to start spinning, making it easier to slice the stomach of 3 men. As another was aiming his guns at me, I turned around and kicked his stomach, throwing him against a pillar before impaling him. I shot my hooks into the top of a pillar and wiped their blood off of my face. Disgusting, this is exactly how diseases start. I spotted a man ahead and started chasing after him, replacing my blades mid-flight.

"Woohoo !" I heard a voice behind me say.

I immediately ducked behind a pillar and a bullet came whizzing just inches from my cheek. I heard the soldier land on a pillar and cursed under my breath. Uncle Kenny.

"Huh I really thought you'd be dead by now." He said before spotting the blood from my wounds dripping down into the smoke. "Eh you'll die soon enough." 

As soon as he left, I slid down the pillar and shot my hooks further. I then spotted the same man that I was chasing moments ago and I took my chance. I soared on top of him for a few seconds then let my hooks detach, making me fall onto him. I thrust my blade into his back, letting both of us head straight for the ground, but before I could crash with him, I removed my blade and shot my hooks above, springing back up. 

I spotted Jean, trying to get away from a woman and I quickly grabbed a piece of wood from one of the platforms and set it on fire. I headed straight for her and stabbed right through her side, letting the flames eat away at her body as she fell. As Jean and I soared through the air, he pointed out that there was someone chasing behind us and I nodded. I detached my hooks and he grabbed both of my hands, placing me in front of him. He then swung me over his head and I landed face to face with the man.

"Peek a Boo." I said before stabbing his throat.

I shot my hooks behind me, whirled around and gave Jean a thumbs up before we went opposite directions. As soon as I turned my head around, I saw Hange get thrown against a pillar and my eyes widened in horror. As the Anti-Personnel Squad fell back, I fell down, panting and sweating. I couldn't stand straight and I could barely breathe without it hurting like a bitch. Jean took notice of this and quickly changed my bandages as the others ran towards Hange. As soon as he was done, he helped me stand up and I looked over at the never ending pillars.

"Humanity's true enemy isn't the Titans...it's itself." I spoke up as I turned to the others. "What we believe is true...we ARE up against monsters...but these monsters aren't 10 meters tall...they don't eat people...they look exactly like us."
