Eren's POV
"No you're not going to be part of this." I tell Annie
She was gearing up and loads her gun as she puts on her combat uniform on and her hat.
"You know I'll fight to death with you." replied Annie
"But what about the kids?" I asked her
"I left them with my dad." replied Annie
I sigh and rub my head in my hands as she was stubborn as always.
"Fine but you only do things under my command."
"Sure." replied Annie
I turn around and the old Scout team 104 was all gearing up except for Erwin, Reiner, Marco, Hitch and Marlowe.
"I wish I was with you guys but I have to protect the queen." said Marco
"Protecting the queen is more important." replied Jean
Recon was approaching us and she looks at us confused.
"What are you doing?" asked Recon
"We're hunting down Ghost." replied Levi
"I already sent a squad to deal with him." replied Recon
"We're dealing with Ghost, he's not going to hurt us." replied Hange
She looks at us and finally nodded in approval so we get on a Spartan and headed towards Ghost's location.
Ghost's POV
I get off the car and head over to into the plane store with Marksman and Phantom. I had a jacket over my civilian vest and my Glock 19 in between my stomach and pants. I also had one of those medical mouth masks but made out of cotton and customized. Phantom and Marksman had the same kind of mask on.
I enter the shop and walk to the front counter to the cashier.
"Hello, how may help you?" he asked
"Is your boss here?" I asked
"I'm over here, is there a problem?"
I turn and see Echo coming out of a room.
"We need to talk." I said
"Come into my office then." he replied
Once we enter the office he looks at us confused.
"It's been long Colonel, is there a problem?" he asked
"We need a ride to Eldia." I replied
"Let me guess, you're trying to find out what happened in Eldia." he said
I nodded.
"Well, we're going to be close at 6 pm, do you mind waiting until then?" he asked
"Yea." I replied
"Okay perfect, meet me on the airfield by that time I'll have a plane ready." replied Echo
"Thank you." I thanked him

Eren's POV
"House in sight."
I quietly moved through the dark forest, luckily we had NVGs on.
"Car in the garage." whispered Levi through the headset.
"1st squad move up to the front of the door. 2nd squad to the back." said Hange
I quietly moved up to the front door with my squad, which was me, Annie, Jean, Mikasa, Levi, Hange, and Moblit. 2nd squad was Mike, Nanaba, Armin, Connie, Sasha and Bertholdt.
"Breach together on my mark." whispered Levi
I move up to the front of the door getting ready to kick the door open.
"Now."
I kick the door open and immediately enter the living room.
"Clear." I said
"Move upstairs."
I file up at the bottom of the stairs and I start moving up slowly. I enter the hallway and we start kicking open the doors into empty rooms.
"Clear in bedroom." I said
"Clear in a baby room?" questioned Jean
"Baby room?" asked Hange
"Yes ma'am." replied Mikasa
"They have kids?" asked Armin
"Looks like it." replied Jean
"Captain we got something in the kitchen. It looks like underground room." said Mike
We all move downstairs and enter the kitchen. The island table was moved to the side and it led down to a room.
Levi takes a flash bang and tosses it down into the room. Once it exploded we file down into a room that was empty.
"It's a gun room." said Mike
"They carried this many weapons?" asked Connie, "The car's still outside."
"Where's the Russian squad either way?" asked Bertholdt
"This is Captain Levi, the package is gone." said Levi through the headset.
"Erwin speaking, understood find any intel you can get." replied Erwin, "Oh and the Russian squad came back, apparently Recon called them back since you guys went."
"Understood." replied Levi
We spread out throughout the entire house and checked every room, every part of house was not left unturned.
"Hey take a look at this." said Jean, "A picture of Ghost team."
I look at the picture but this wasn't Ghost team 117.
"That's not Ghost team 117." I replied, "That's Ghost team 116."
"How do you know?" asked Jean
"He showed me that picture a long time ago." I replied
"I found a journal." said Annie
I approach her and she flips through the journal.
"Nothing, it's about his past, during his boot camp and during Ghost team 116." replied Annie
"It still may be useful." said Hange as she takes the journal and puts it in a plastic bag.
I continue to search the room and I check outside the house. I look inside the garage until I saw something that wasn't right.
"I think I got something." I said through the headset
Everyone comes out of the house and into the garage.
"There's tracks in the dirt." I pointed out
Car tracks were on the dirt leading away from the house.
"But the car is still here." said Sasha
"Unless he has two cars." implied Nanaba
"Maybe, continue looking, we leave in 5 minutes." said Levi
I continue looking throughout the house but I don't find anything so we left the house and got on a chopper and headed towards our Eldian Carrier.

Ghost's POV
18 hours later
"Stohess district coming up, get ready to jump." said Echo
I grab everything we could carry and opened the side door of the plane.
"Jump now." said Echo, "Good luck."
I jump out of the plane with the others and headed towards the castle. Once I parachuted I saw snipers on the roof.
"Rules of engagement?" asks Marksman
"Only use you side arm, no primary weapons." I replied, "And don't kill anyone unless they shoot at you first."
"Understood." replied Marksman
I had a hat and headphones with a tight bandana around my mouth and nose to hide my identity.
"Remember, the guards will most likely know where the prisoners are." I implied
I approach the roof and I cut my parachute and land on a sniper then knocked him out. The others took out the rest of the snipers.
I folded my parachute and hid it. I also took their radio so I can listen to what was going on.
We enter the castle and made our way towards the security room. The castle was huge so we had to split up. I made my way throughout the hallways and found a room with a guard on duty.
I snuck up on him and did a headlock from behind him and dragged him into a different room. I pulled out my knife and pressed it against his throat and he stopped fighting back.
"I'm going to ask you this once, where are they holding Ghost team?" I growled at him
"In the prison system at the bottom of the castle, please spare me." he pleaded
I put my knife away but I hit the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.
"Come in, move to the basement." I said through the headset
"Moving." whispered Phantom and Marksman
I was about to leave the room but I heard footsteps outside and familiar voices.
"Where do you think he headed to next?" asked a voice
"Don't know, let's hope someone catches him though." said the second voice
Once the footsteps and the voices died out, I left the room and headed to the basement. Marksman and Phantom already took out the guards.
We enter the prison cell and took out the remaining guards in it.
"Kit?" I quietly whispered out
"Colonel?"
I turned around and my team was there in a prison cell.
"How did you get here?" asked Hacker
"No time to explain." I replied
I search the guards body and found the keys. I unlocked it and we tossed them our bags.
"Gear up, we're getting out of here." I said, "Marksman get a vehicle ready."
Marksman leaves the group and the others start dressing up and gearing up.
"Sir I'm sorry I had to give up your position." apologized Kit
"Don't worry about it, we left before they even came." I replied
After a few minutes of getting ready, we left the prison and made our way to the garage.
"Two vehicles ready sir." said Marksman through the headset.
"Moving to you right now." I replied back
We made our way to the garage but once I turned the corner I bumped into Marco. He looked shocked and confused.
"Colonel?" he asked
"Sorry Marco." I replied
I swiftly hit his jaw with the back of my pistol and we continued moving to the garage.
"Marco is everything okay." said a voice through the radio.
I tossed the radio to Kit and he responded but he changed his voice to Marco's.
"Yes everything is fine."
We continued to the garage and there were two Humvees ready. We quickly enter the car and casually exited the garage.
"Blockade up ahead." said Marksman through the headset
"Get ready." I replied
We approached the blockade but before we were able to even do anything, Marco's voice came through the radio.
"We got hostiles, it's the Colonel!"
I stepped onto the gas and sped right past the blockade and not caring what was on the road.
"Echo, get the plane ready, we're coming to you right now!" I yelled through the headset
"Understood I'll be waiting." he replied
"Sir, we got enemies on our six!" yelled Juggernaut
"Take out their wheels!" I yelled, "Kit take the wheel."
He takes the driver seat and I move to the passenger seat and stuck my head out the window and started shooting the wheel of the incoming hostiles. I popped the tire and the car swerved and crashed into a lamp post.
"This is Scout team, pursuing the enemy." said a voice through the radio
Juggernaut gets on the 50 cal mounted on the Humvee and shoots warning shots at the enemies.
"Entering the airfield!" yelled Marksman
"Echo, start moving the plane!" I yelled
I see Echo's plane start to move down the lane.
"Only shoot the Russians, not the Eldians!" I yelled
I continue shooting at the hostiles shooting right at us from behind us.
"Marksman, we'll push you from behind so switch your gear to neutral and get ready to jump into the plane!" I yelled
Kit sped up and hit the back of Marksman Humvee and started pushing him. The ones in his car started jumping into the plane.
"Cover them!" I yelled
"Take the plane out!" yelled a voice through the radio
"Kit let me take the wheel."
We switch seats and I slow down and move to the side so the Humvee in front of us moves away. A hostile car crashed into the car as they were just advancing on us.
"Get out!" I yelled
Kit and Juggernaut left Humvee and jumped onto the plane.
"Get those bogeys off my tail!" yelled Echo
The ones on the plane started covering Phantom as she jumped into the plane. I grab a stick and put it in between the wheel and the gas pedal so that it auto drives.
I get on the 50 cal and shoot one of the cars right next to mine, popping its tire, the car swerved and crashes into another car.
I get on the roof of the car and immediately duck as gunshots hit the car. I quickly turn around to shoot at the shooter but as I look through my scope I see Eren driving the car and Jean shooting at me, so instead I shoot Jean's gun away. I get back up and jump off the car and into the car, once I get on I shoot the tire of the car we were on and it jerks and flips over.
"Hang on! We're ascending!" yelled Echo
The plane starts ascending and we hang on to something so we don't fall backwards.
"We are safe now." said Echo, "Fighter jets are probably going to make their way to us."
I toss Hacker a computer,
"Get us off the radar."
He gets to work and I sigh from what just happened. I throw the radio out of the plane and closed the door.
Eren's POV
"Fuck!" yelled Recon, she kicks a soldier to the ground, "What the hell were you guys doing?! Did you allow him to escape?!"
"We tried-"
Recon cut off the soldier and starts beating the shit out of him.
"Don't, fucking, give, me, that, bullshit."
She turns to us and now it was Jean's turn.
"You had a fucking clear shot, and yet you didn't take it?!" she kicks Jean to the ground
Mikasa tries to interfere but Levi stops her, Jean gets up and falls back into formation.
"Now he's going to fucking plan another assault and we're not going to stand a fucking chance! He might even start another fucking war!"
Recon was pissed, she beat up at least 8 guys who went after Ghost team, including Marco.
"Hunt him down." said Recon, "NOW!"
We all fall out of formation and Mikasa goes up to Jean to check up on him.
"Casualty count?" asked Levi
"None sir, just a couple of guards who have a headache." replied Marco
"He didn't kill anyone." said Hange
"He only killed Russians." implied Moblit
Marco rubbed the side of his face in pain.
"Ghost's punch hurt more than Recon's beating." said Marco
"We need to hunt him down before shit goes down the hole." said Mike
